===Effect===
The Feather Ball can be used to catch Pokémon. It can be thrown farther than a regular {{hi|Poké Ball}} and travels quickly in a straight line instead of flying in an arc, allowing the {{player}} to catch faraway and flying Pokémon more easily. If used on specific flying encounters (not including regular encounters that happen to be flying), it attempts to catch the Pokémon with a catch rate modifier of 1.25×. Otherwise, it has a 1× modifier.

[[File:Poké Balls GL.png|thumb|250px|The 27 Poké Ball variants found in the [[core series]]]]
[[File:Poké Ball sketch.png|thumb|250px|Original concept]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] that is critical to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest, used for {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} and storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Both a general term used to describe the various kinds as well as a specific term to refer to the most basic among these variations, Poké Balls are ubiquitous in the modern Pokémon world. Up to six Pokémon can be carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in Poké Balls, while more Poké Balls can be held in the [[Bag]] for later use. These six Pokémon in the Poké Balls can be attached to the user's belt for carrying them around. Some Pokémon do not like to be carried around in Poké Balls, such as [[Ash's Pikachu]].

The strength of a Poké Ball is determined by how much it raises a [[wild Pokémon]]'s [[catch rate]], and may in fact vary depending on the conditions of the battle. Poké Balls limit the power of Pokémon contained inside, taming them, though they do not cause the Pokémon inside to always obey the Trainer.

Stylized Poké Balls are used in many places to symbolize Pokémon in general: the logos of the [[Battle Frontier]]s, the [[Pokémon Contest]]s, the [[Pokéathlon]], and the [[Pokémon Musical]] all feature a Poké Ball in their design, while several Poké Balls can be seen in every Pokémon Center. The headgear of the protagonists of [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]-based games feature Poké Ball designs, as do the [[Bag]]s of the protagonists of [[Johto]]-based games. {{ga|Ethan}}'s headgear is also similar to the top half of an Ultra Ball, and {{ga|Lucas}}'s Bag prominently features a Poké Ball.

==History==
{{main|History of Poké Balls}}
[[File:Legends Arceus Poké Ball.png|thumb|150px|left|A Poké Ball used by those who explored the Hisui region.]]
The invention of Poké Balls occurred in the [[Johto]] region, where [[Apricorn]]s grow; these fruit were cut apart and carved out, then fitted with a special device, and used to catch wild Pokémon. Some Trainers still use Poké Balls made from Apricorns, while [[Kurt]], a resident of [[Azalea Town]], still constructs them. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] shows that the first settlers of the [[Sinnoh]] region, back when it was known as the [[Hisui]] region, used pre-modern Poké Balls made of [[Tumblestone]] and Apricorns, with [[Professor Laventon]] claiming they were a more recent invention. According to [[Professor Elm]], before the invention of the Poké Ball, people would [[Walking Pokémon|walk with their Pokémon]].

In the games, in the [[Memory Link]] event {{DL|Memory Link|A New Light}}, [[Drayden]] claims that Poké Balls did not exist during his childhood. According to the [[Encyclopedia Pokemonica]], [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]], and a [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] site describing the [[Pokémon world]], modern Poké Balls were developed in 1925 from the research of Professor Westwood of [[Celadon University]].

Modern Poké Balls are not normally made from Apricorns, with the exception of specialist Poké Balls such as the [[Moon Ball]]. Modern Poké Balls are manufactured by [[Silph Co.]], the [[Devon Corporation]], and the Kalos [[Poké Ball Factory]].

In the anime, in ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'', modern Poké Balls are found in the [[ghost ship]], implying that modern Poké Balls were first made at least 300 years ago. According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Poké Balls were developed to allow for various Trainers to efficiently capture and train Pokémon in relatively little risk to themselves, as the act of training a Pokémon often results in severe injuries and even death. It also claims that the Pokémon {{p|Primeape}} and its notoriously violent nature was directly responsible for their creation.

In the anime, prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as magical creatures (Japanese: {{tt|魔獣|まじゅう}} ''majū''), indicating that the name Pokémon, short for Pocket Monster, did not come into common parlance as a term until Poké Balls allowed the various magical creatures to be stored easily.
{{-}}

==Mechanics and design==
[[File:Anime Poke Ball Mechanics.jpg|thumb|220px|A schematic displaying Poké Ball size, storage, and mechanics]]
Though the technology behind a Poké Ball remains unknown and has evolved through the centuries to accommodate the diverse requirements of their creators, the basic mechanics are simple enough to understand and tend to remain constant: in a [[Pokémon battle]], once an opposing wild Pokémon has been weakened, the Pokémon Trainer can throw a Poké Ball at it. When a Poké Ball hits the Pokémon, as long as it is not deflected, the Poké Ball will open, cause the Pokémon to shrink, store it inside, and close. A Pokémon in this state is given a chance to struggle to attempt to break free from the ball and escape, being instantly growing back in size. Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device will either be destroyed (in the games and some manga) or will return to the Trainer (anime), who can attempt once again to catch the Pokémon. A Pokémon who does not escape the Ball will be {{pkmn2|caught}}. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] elaborates a bit on how the Pokémon are contained in a Poké Ball, with [[Professor Laventon]] explaining that Pokémon have the ability to reduce their size to miniscule, and Poké Balls take advantage of this to contain them.

Poké Balls are specifically constructed for Pokémon capture, transport, and training. As well as being physically difficult to escape from (as they seal tightly shut as soon as a Pokémon is taken into them) the environment of a Poké Ball is designed to be attractive to Pokémon also; according to Lucian of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], weakened Pokémon instinctively curl up tight in an attempt to heal themselves, an action that the environment of the Poké Ball encourages. Furthermore, while it is not known how caught Pokémon perceives their time inside their Ball, the device is said to replicate a "Pokémon-friendly" environment that is "designed for comfort". All of these factors strongly discourage Pokémon from escaping their Balls. In the manga, Bugsy refers to his "capture net" as being the net that is supposedly inside a Poké Ball, but visible and already deployed. According to Kurt, this invisible net captures and physically stores a Pokémon.

[[File:Poke Ball Interior.png|thumb|left|220px|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime]]
Poké Balls are not always at full size. Pressing the button on the front will convert it between its full size, about the size of a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a smaller size, about that of a {{wp|Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball}}, and back again. The larger size makes throwing the ball easier, while the smaller one makes for easier storage on a belt clip, in pockets, and in Bags. When a Trainer [[Dynamax|Dynamaxes]] or [[Gigantamax|Gigantamaxes]] a Pokémon, the Poké Ball expands to the size of an {{wp|Ball (association football)|association football}}.

As mentioned, the generic Poké Ball design is not constant and has been remodeled and altered innumerable times in order to create new Poké Balls that are adapted for specific conditions. For example, it is seen in several anime episodes such as ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' that normal Poké Balls have difficulty catching Pokémon which are extremely large or extremely heavy. In the latter episode, it is revealed that ancient civilizations overcame this issue by constructing immense Poké Balls many times the size of the standard model known today, and made from stone instead. Other civilizations such as [[Pokémopolis]] also discovered new technologies that more closely resembled modern Poké Ball technology, such as the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Dark Device]] and the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Unearthly Urn]], which were also adapted for the capture and storage of massive Pokémon but in small containers. However, devices like these became lost to the ages and their roles were subsequently supplanted by Heavy Balls in the modern world.

[[File:Paul Chimchar release.png|thumb|220px|[[Paul]] releasing {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}]]
When a Pokémon is sent out from a Poké Ball, it will be accompanied by a distinctive sound effect and a bright light as it returns from its energy form and materialize nearby, often on the ground. This bright light has been shown to vary depending on the type of Ball in which the Pokémon is contained in the games, while it has always been shown to be white in the anime. Pokémon are recalled to their Poké Ball by holding up the Poké Ball with its button pointed at the Pokémon. A beam of red, white, or blue light will shoot from the button, converting the Pokémon back into energy and returning it to the Ball. The beam, however, has a limited range and can be dodged by the Pokémon. If the beam hits a person, they will be stunned for a moment, but aside from that, no ill effects will make themselves apparent.

[[Released Pokémon|Releasing]] a Pokémon from a Trainer's ownership, unlike normally sending the Pokémon out, will bathe the Pokémon in a blue glow, and the Poké Ball will no longer mark it, making it able to be caught by another Trainer's Poké Ball.

A Poké Ball can also be broken, which will release it from ownership, as seen when Jessie releases her Dustox in ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]''. If a Trainer has done so accidentally, it must somehow be fixed before the Pokémon can be recalled. This was seen in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'', where Ash becomes unable to recall Snorlax after its Poké Ball is broken. In the manga, if a Poké Ball is broken before a Pokémon is sent out, then that particular Pokémon cannot be used until their Poké Ball has been repaired. This happened several times in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, such as during {{adv|Red}}'s battle against {{adv|Giovanni}}, where the opening mechanism for the Poké Balls of Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] and [[Gyara]]dos were damaged, preventing either of them from being used in the match.

[[File:Iris Dragonite inside Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Iris's Dragonite]] inside a Poké Ball in the anime]]
Pokémon appear to be conscious while inside Poké Balls. Several Pokémon have shown the ability to leave and return to their Poké Balls at will, most notably among them [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Misty's Psyduck]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], [[Brock's Croagunk]], and [[Clemont's Chespin]], who tend to do so in every episode that they appear in. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', many Pokémon belonging to [[Gary Oak]], as well as other Trainers, including Ash Ketchum, demonstrated the ability to prevent themselves from being sent from their Poké Balls, as they refused to fight against the Diglett, though this has not been demonstrated since. Pokémon have also shown to be able to hear orders given by their Trainer right before they are sent out.

Pokémon can even make their Poké Ball jump and roll around at high speeds, while also being able to navigate, as seen in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], when the {{ga|partner Pokémon}} moves its Poké Ball onto an empty pedestal in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] after being caught in [[Pallet Town]].

[[File:Ash Pikachu failed catch.png|thumb|220px|A Poké Ball failing to catch an already owned Pokémon]]
Poké Balls are able to communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], as the system updates itself with information on newly-caught Pokémon, and keeps track of how many Pokémon the Trainer has with them. If a Trainer catches a new Pokémon with the full six already with them, the Pokédex will automatically send the newly-caught Pokémon in its Poké Ball to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] that the Trainer is using. As shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', a Pokémon caught by a Poké Ball is "marked" by it, and thus most Poké Balls thrown at it will have no effect aside from temporarily stunning it. In the games, as well as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', however, the Trainer of the Pokémon will block a Poké Ball thrown by another, though it is possible that this is more out of courtesy to their Pokémon than to prevent capture outright. In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash was able to catch his {{AP|Charmander}} in a Poké Ball despite his previous ownership by [[Damian|another Trainer]], though it may have lost its "mark" when it abandoned its previous Trainer by refusing to return to its old Poké Ball. Earlier in the same episode, Ash failed to catch the same Charmander while it still held its loyalty, despite its weak condition.

Other wireless capabilities of Poké Balls are shown in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', as when the electricity of the city is down, {{OBP|Rebecca|M07}} claims that the "Poké Ball Management System" was no longer working without power. There has been no mention of any such system since.

Poké Balls are able to be decorated to no ill effect, with several Poké Balls that have been painted with special colors being seen in the anime. Additionally, a [[Ball Capsule]] can be used in combination with [[Seal]]s to create special effects when the Pokémon is sent out.

==Poké Ball accuracy==
In some scenarios, a Poké Ball can miss the wild Pokémon completely (in contrast to breaking if the Poké Ball does not successfully capture the Pokémon):
* In the [[Generation I]] games, it was possible for a ball to miss the Pokémon when the likelihood of catching the Pokémon in question was particularly low—rather than the ball throwing animation playing and the ball wiggling zero times, a message would come up stating "You missed the <sc>Pokémon</sc>!".
* In the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{OBP|ghost|literal}}s in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]] dodge any ball thrown at them before being unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]. The [[Marowak (ghost)|Marowak ghost]] will dodge all Poké Balls even if it is unmasked.
* In {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, and in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} outside of battle, Poké Balls are thrown manually, and the player must aim properly to hit the Pokémon. Some Poké Balls, namely the {{hi|Heavy Ball}} and [[Feather Ball]] lines, have noticeably different throwing distances and trajectories compared to the standard variations.

In other scenarios, it is simply not possible to use Poké Balls in the first place:
* In the Generation I and II core series games, if both the player's party and their current [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] are full, the player cannot throw a Poké Ball.
* In the [[core series]] games, in {{pkmn2|wild}} battles the player cannot throw a Poké Ball if there are multiple opponents—such as in wild [[Double Battle]]s, [[Horde Encounter]]s, or [[SOS Battle]]s—with the game claiming that it's impossible to aim.
** This is not the case in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.
** In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, it is possible to snag a [[Shadow Pokémon]] even if there are two on the opposing side of the field.
* From {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onward, it is not possible to throw a Poké Ball if the opposing Pokémon is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move (such as {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}).
* Starting in [[Generation V]], in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s, it is not possible to issue a command to one Pokémon and then throw a Poké Ball as the second Pokémon's turn. However, it is still possible to throw a Poké Ball if one Pokémon is in the middle of a two-turn move.
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, [[Ghetsis]] uses his cane to control a wild {{p|Kyurem}} and orders it to attack the {{player}}. The cane also emits signals that disrupt the use of empty Poké Balls, preventing Kyurem from being captured during the climax.
* In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, the player is forbidden from throwing Poké Balls at wild Pokémon in a [[Island challenge|trial]] site until the trial has been cleared.
* In Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, a signal that prevents the use of empty Poké Balls is broadcast throughout [[Aether Paradise]] to protect the Pokémon living there. This prevents the player from capturing the wild {{p|Nihilego}} that attacks them on their first visit to the facility.
* In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player cannot use a Poké Ball on a {{p|Necrozma}} that has {{form|Necrozma|fused}} with a {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}}.
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the player cannot catch a Pokémon whose level is above the limit the player's current [[Badge]]s can allow. Such Pokémon is described as "very strong-looking".
* In [[The Crown Tundra]] expansion, the player cannot catch {{p|Spectrier}} or {{p|Glastrier}} during the encounter with it in the village because "It won't let its guard down!"
* In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the player cannot catch the {{form|Giratina|Origin Forme}} {{p|Giratina}} encountered inside the Distortion Room in [[Ramanas Park]].
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the player cannot catch certain Pokémon, including [[noble Pokémon]] and {{p|Arceus}}.

===Capture chances===
{{main|Catch rate}}

==Types of Poké Balls==
In the Pokémon games so far, there have been 35 (38 if the Hisuian Poke Ball, Great Ball, and Ultra Ball are counted as individual varieties) different varieties of Poké Balls, all differing from each other in some way, whether it be an increased ability to catch a Pokémon from the wild or an effect which occurs only after the Pokémon has been caught. From Generation III onward, each variety of Poké Ball has a unique animation when it sends out a Pokémon (and also when it catches one prior to Generation VI), and the type of Poké Ball used to catch the Pokémon is preserved on its [[summary]] screen.

Prior to Generation VI, all hatched Pokémon are in a standard Poké Ball. In [[Generation VI]], a [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon will be in the same Poké Ball as its mother, unless its mother was in a Cherish Ball or Master Ball, in which case the Pokémon will be in a standard Poké Ball; Pokémon bred from a male or gender-unknown Pokémon and {{p|Ditto}} will hatch in a standard Poké Ball. Since [[Generation VII]], Pokémon bred from a male and a Ditto inherit the father's ball as well, and if two Pokémon of the same species in different balls are bred, the resulting offspring will be in either the mother's or father's ball.

Regardless of type of Poké Ball, {{m|Fling}} will fail if the user is holding one.

==In other games==
===Pokémon GO===
Players do not battle wild Pokémon in [[Pokémon GO]], and using Poké Balls is a matter of the player's aim. To throw one, the player must press their finger on the Poké Ball, move it, and release it. The Ball and Pokémon exist in a 3D environment, so the player may miss the Pokémon by throwing the Ball the wrong distance or too far to the side. Additionally, the wild Pokémon may attempt to dodge or attack every few seconds. When a Pokémon is attacking, any Poké Balls that hit it will be deflected. When a Pokémon dodges, it will move around but can still be hit by a thrown Ball.

:''See more: [[Caught Pokémon#Pokémon GO|Caught Pokémon → Pokémon GO]]

On the aiming screen, a colored circle displays over the Pokémon, gradually shrinks to nothing, then resets to its widest before continuing to shrink again. If the player's throw lands inside this circle, they will get a "Nice!", "Great!", or "Excellent!" catch chance bonus depending on how small the circle was. The player can also improve their catch chance by throwing a curveball. If the player spins the Ball while holding it, it will temporarily retain the spin and curve left or right when thrown.

:''See more: [[Catch rate (GO)]]

Three types of Poké Balls were available in Pokémon GO upon release: regular Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls. These remain the only types of Poké Balls that are generally available. They can be repeatably obtained by:
* Spinning [[PokéStop]]s or {{OBP|Gym|GO}}s (Lv. 12+ for Great Balls and Lv. 20+ for Ultra Balls)
* Opening a [[Gift]] (Lv. 12+ for Great Balls and Lv. 20+ for Ultra Balls)
* Completing certain [[Field Research]] or [[Special Research]] tasks
* Weekly [[Adventure Sync]] rewards

The player also receives Poké Balls upon [[Trainer level|leveling up]].
* Poké Balls awarded up to level 11 (including 50 Poké Balls starting at level 1)
* Great Balls awarded from level 12 to level 19
* Ultra Balls awarded starting level 20

Regular Poké Balls may be purchased in the Shop at the following rates:
* 20 for {{PCoin}}100
* 100 for {{PCoin}}460
* 200 for {{PCoin}}800

All three types of balls have also been available in limited-time Box deals.

Premier Balls debuted in Pokémon GO on June 20, 2017,{{fact}} a few days after its first anniversary with the introduction of {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s. They can only be used for catching Raid Bosses and {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}}, and other types of Poké Balls cannot be used on them. If the player runs out, the Raid Boss or Shadow Pokémon will flee. The number of Premier Balls are awarded to the player after a Raid Battle or [[Team GO Rocket]] battle is based on how well they battled. Unused Premier Balls are not retained and do not roll over to future challenges. Like in the main series, Premier Balls are just as effective as regular Poké Balls.

Beast Balls debuted in Pokémon GO on July 1, 2022 at Pokémon GO Fest 2022 Berlin.{{fact}} They can only be used for catching [[Ultra Beast]]s, and other types of Poké Balls cannot be used on them. Currently, an unlimited number of Beast Balls are provided to the player during an Ultra Beast encounter.

Master Balls are coded into Pokémon GO, but have not yet been made available.

===Pokémon Pinball series===
{{main|Ball Upgrade (Pinball)}}

In [[Pokémon Pinball]] and [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], the [[Poké Ball (item)|Poké Ball]], [[Great Ball]], [[Ultra Ball]], and [[Master Ball]] are available.

The Poké Ball is the normal ball used in the pinball tables since the beginning of the game. In both games, if the player lights up the three Field Multiplier Lanes found in all tables, the ball is upgraded to the next kind of Poké Ball (a Poké Ball is upgraded into a Great Ball, a Great Ball into an Ultra Ball, and an Ultra Ball into a Master Ball). If a minute passes without new Poké Ball upgrades, the ball returns to the previous state. If the player loses a ball, the next ball is a Poké Ball.

====Bonus points====
* The [[Poké Ball (item)|Poké Ball]] has no bonus multiplier.
* The [[Great Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×2.
* The [[Ultra Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×3.
* The [[Master Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×4 in [[Pokémon Pinball]] and by ×5 in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]].

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Ashball.png|thumb|250px|{{Ash}} pulling out a Poké Ball, preparing to catch a Pokémon]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the basic Poké Ball is the most commonly used of all varieties, with other varieties appearing either very few times or not at all. A vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variation among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the anime which spends all its time [[walking Pokémon|outside with Ash]], has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.

Despite this, the various other types of Poké Ball have been seen in the anime, usually to illustrate a special property about that particular ball. The lack of the different types is unsurprising, however, due to the fact that, when the anime was first created, the games themselves did not even keep track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was caught in, and thus, it made no difference in sending a Pokémon out. This has recently become less common as of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', possibly to reflect the fact that NPC Trainers in [[Generation VII]] have certain types of Poké Balls associated with them.

The first time that a Poké Ball aside from the normal variation was seen was in [[EP035]], where Ash was given 30 Safari Balls in order to compete in the Safari Game. With these 30 Safari Balls, Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon; however, he only managed to capture an entire herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; however, whenever Ash uses one of his Tauros in a battle, it is sent out from a standard Poké Ball.

[[File:Poké Ball success.png|thumb|left|250px|A Poké Ball after catching a Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
The [[GS Ball]] was the second of the variant Poké Balls to [[EP083|appear in the anime]], this time with a special purpose. This mysterious ball was unable to be opened by [[Professor Ivy]], and served as the reason for Ash's journeys to the [[Orange Archipelago]] (to pick it up) and [[Johto]] (to deliver it to [[Kurt]]), so that what was contained within it could be discovered. {{p|Celebi}} was long rumored to be related to the ball, something which the [[Pokémon Adventures]] and game canons verify, while [[Masamitsu Hidaka|a director of the anime]] confirmed that, had it not been insisted that {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} appear in a central role in [[M04|the fourth movie]], the GS Ball arc would have concluded with Celebi being released from the ball and traveling with Ash and his friends.

Also related to Kurt, as in the games, the first non-standard Poké Ball variants, the [[Apricorn]] balls, made an appearance in the anime, and several were given to the members of the main cast. All three members of the main cast received a Fast Ball each in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', with {{an|Brock}} using his to catch a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} shortly after receiving it. Many other Apricorn Poké Balls also appeared in a fantasy in this episode. In the [[EP144|next episode]], Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and {{an|Misty}} received a Lure Ball each. While Brock's Heavy Ball and Ash and Misty's Fast Balls would remain unused (and have not been mentioned since), both Ash and Misty would use their Lure Balls to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, respectively. Another Heavy Ball appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down]]'', where it was used to capture a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Gulpin}}, though this was not the one belonging to Brock. In ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', the {{DL|Kimono Girl|In the anime|Kimono Sisters}} (excluding [[Sakura]]) were shown keeping their [[Eeveelution]]s inside Apricorn Poké Balls, with Satsuki's {{p|Jolteon}}'s ball being a Moon Ball, Sumomo's {{p|Vaporeon}}'s ball being a Lure Ball, and Tamao's {{p|Umbreon}}'s ball being a Fast Ball. While Koume's {{p|Flareon}}'s ball wasn't shown, her kimono pattern indicates it being a Love Ball.
[[File:Ash Poké Ball.png|thumb|250px|Ash calling out a Pokémon]]
The Master Ball itself has only appeared once as an actual Poké Ball, in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', where it was used by [[Sullivan]] in a last resort attempt to catch a wild {{p|Whiscash}} called "[[Nero]]". Despite the fact that a Master Ball cannot be escaped from, the Whiscash ''swallowed'' the Master Ball, thus preventing capture, and disappeared back into the water. While not a Poké Ball itself, Misty owns a beach ball that is designed like the Master Ball, which can be seen in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.

The Generation III specialty balls have mostly been seen in cameos. The Repeat Ball and Luxury Ball appeared in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These balls contained {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Aggron}}, respectively.

The debut of most of the specialty balls, both from Generation III and IV, came in the ending [[Which One ~ Is It?]], which contained the first appearance of the Great Ball and Ultra Ball, as well as the first anime appearance of the Premier, Heal, Net, Dusk, Nest, Quick, Timer, and Dive Balls.

The first proper appearance of the Great, Ultra, Net, Nest, Dusk, Dive, Repeat, Premier, and Heal Balls was in ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', where these balls were seen being manufactured at the [[Poké Ball Factory]], in addition to normal Poké Balls, Luxury Balls, and Safari Balls, although the last ones were not shown. Although [[James]] did mention a Quick Ball in the Japanese version, one was never shown in the episode (a fact that was picked up by the [[dub]], which removed the Quick Ball reference). {{TRT}} tried to steal many of these Poké Balls, but were foiled by Ash and his friends.

[[File:Dawn Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|250px|{{an|Dawn}}'s Poké Balls with Ball Capsules and Seals]]
It was revealed in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'' that James had been collecting Poké Balls. When Jessie's attempts to catch a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} with typical Poké Balls had failed, she grabbed the Luxury Ball James had been polishing and used it instead, capturing Mimikyu, much to James's dismay. The rest of James's collection appeared in ''[[SM062|Acting True to Form!]]'', where it was revealed to also contain a Great, Ultra, Premier, Dusk, Heal, and Quick Ball, marking the first proper anime appearance of a Quick Ball. The collection reappeared in ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown!]]'', where it now consisted of a Premier, Dive, Nest, Quick, Heal, and Dusk Ball.

{{an|Gladion}} keeps all of his known Pokémon in special Poké Balls. His {{TP|Gladion|Lycanroc}} is kept in an Ultra Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}} is kept in a Premier Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Umbreon}} is kept in a Heal Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Zoroark}} is kept in a Dusk Ball (as first seen in the [[Poké Problem]] extra scene of [[SM127]]), and his {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Lillie|Nihilego}} is kept in a Beast Ball (as first seen in [[JN111]]).

[[File:James Poké Ball collection.png|thumb|250px|James's Poké Ball collection]]
Beast Balls debuted in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', in which the [[Aether Foundation]] provided multiple of them for Ash and {{ashcl}} to use during their missions as [[Ultra Guardians]]. Since then, Beast Balls have appeared in {{cat|Ultra Guardians episodes|a number of episodes}}. Most of the time they are only used to temporarily hold {{an|Ultra Beasts}} until they are released back into [[Ultra Space]]. The only Ultra Beasts that have been kept in a Beast Ball for longer than one episode are [[Ash's Naganadel]] and Gladion's {{p|Nihilego}}.

In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', {{an|Leon}} used an Ultra Ball in an attempt to catch {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, only for Eternatus to break out.
[[File:Sealed Poké Ball anime.png|thumb|250px|left|A sealed Poké Ball]]
Many other Poké Balls have been shown in the anime; however, most of these are cosmetic alterations alone, such as Poké Balls with gold plating, diamond studded Poké Balls, and Poké Balls with stickers or special designs on them, usually to denote an organization. [[Ball Capsule]]s and [[Seal]]s can also be used to customize a Poké Ball's appearance, and they add special effects when the Pokémon is sent out. In the anime, they are mostly used by {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s during [[Pokémon Contest]]s to create a showy entrance and ensure that the Pokémon will make a good impression right out of the Poké Ball.

Notably, a broken Poké Ball, snapped in half at its rusted hinges, was kept by both Ash and {{Gary}}, symbolizing their rivalry. After Ash defeated Gary during the [[Silver Conference]], Gary gave his half of the Ball to Ash as a sign of ending their rivalry.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', it was shown that if a Trainer catches a Pokémon while they already have six on hand, it is automatically sent to the regional {{pkmn|Professor}}. ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest]]'' shows a major difference in what happens after a Pokémon is captured. Instead of being automatically sent to the regional Professor, the Poké Ball is sealed and the button becomes red. The Pokémon is kept inactive until it is switched out by another actively in the Trainer's party.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Poké Ball PO.png|thumb|250px|A Poké Ball in Pokémon Origins]]
Besides the regular Poké Ball, the other Generation I variations of it were also seen during the [[Pokémon Origins]] miniseries. In ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', it was shown that [[Giovanni]] kept his strongest Pokémon, {{p|Rhyhorn}} and {{p|Rhydon}}, within Ultra Balls. In ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', {{OBP|Red|Origins}} was seen catching an {{p|Arbok}} with a Great Ball and a {{p|Chansey}} with a Safari Ball. He also used Ultra Balls to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}.

The Master Ball only appeared in a demonstration in ''File 3: Giovanni'', as it was still under development at the time. After [[Team Rocket]] was driven out of the [[Silph Co.]] building by Red, the development of the Master Ball was put on hold for a while.

Additionally, in Pokémon Origins, the sound effects and bright light used when a Trainer is catching, sending out, or recalling a Pokémon differ in comparison to the sound effects and lights that are used in the main Pokémon anime, more resembling the effects seen in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
{{-}}

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Ultra Ball PG.png|thumb|250px|An Ultra Ball in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
The only Poké Ball variant seen in [[Pokémon Generations]] was an Ultra Ball, which appeared in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]''. It was shown being used by {{player|a Trainer}} to catch a {{p|Deoxys}} in outer space.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|200px|A Poké Ball in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
In the various [[Pokémon manga]], Poké Balls have been shown to appear differently, as an attempt to explain how a Trainer knows which Pokémon is in which ball, as most Pokémon manga series were, like the anime, developed at a time when the games could not keep track of the ball a Pokémon was contained in.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], the rules are more similar to the anime; however, Poké Balls are numbered on the outside, on the button, so that a Trainer knows which member of their team they are sending into battle. In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Trainers must obtain a license before they are legally allowed to purchase Poké Balls.

It is also possible for a Pokémon to be placed inside a Poké Ball without it being owned by a Trainer. In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', [[Meowzie]] steals a Poké Ball from a shop and puts her kitten in it so that it will not be hurt by a flood affecting the city.

===Magical Pokémon Journey===
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the main characters generally do not capture Pokémon, rather, they befriend them. Although [[Almond]], one of the main characters, is known to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is not actually depicted capturing or raising any Pokémon. In fact, in the bonus materials of {{Vol|Magical Pokémon Journey|2}}, in which the cast of the manga meet {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in a series of crossovers, it is revealed that [[Hazel]] and [[Coconut]] do not even know what Poké Balls are. When Ash and Misty explain that they are used to capture Pokémon, they both proceed to attempt to use them to capture Almond, as he is each of their love interest.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Yellow Seadra Poké Ball.png|thumb|200px|{{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}} inside his Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the tops of Poké Balls are semitransparent, allowing the Pokémon inside, which is miniaturized, to be seen through the ball, while the Pokémon can likewise see out of the ball it is contained in. In this manga, unlike in the anime, Pokémon already captured can be recaught in another Poké Ball, as is seen when {{adv|Red}} recatches [[Gyara|Misty's Gyarados]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' (though {{adv|Blue}} states that catching a Pokémon that belongs to another is not possible in ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]'').

Like in the anime and the games, specialty balls do exist, although they are much more commonly used than in the anime. In ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'', [[Team Rocket]] was shown to have caught the {{adv|Legendary birds}} in Ultra Balls. In ''[[PS035|And Mewtwo... Three!]]'', [[Blaine]] gave Red the [[Master Ball]], which Red used to catch {{adv|Mewtwo}} shortly afterwards. In ''[[PS101|Teddiursa's Picnic]]'', {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively, with Silver using his ball to catch an {{TP|Silver|Ursaring}}, while Gold used his to catch a {{p|Teddiursa}} for [[Maizie]]. Close to the end of the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, the [[Masked Man]] was shown creating a [[GS Ball]] and using it to catch {{adv|Celebi}}. In ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]'', {{adv|Blake}} used Luxury Balls while trying to catch the {{p|Genesect}} controlled by [[Colress]], eventually succeeding. In [[PS583]], a Quick Ball was seen amongst the Poké Balls that {{adv|Y}} had used while trying to catch an {{p|Absol}}. Safari Balls have been seen being used by Red at the {{safari|Kanto|Kanto Safari Zone}}, by {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} at the [[Great Marsh]], and by Silver at the {{safari|Johto|Johto Safari Zone}}. {{adv|Crystal}} and {{adv|Emerald}} have also been shown using special balls to catch Pokémon, with Crystal specializing in [[Apricorn]] balls and Emerald specializing in Poké Balls introduced in [[Generation III]]. Additionally, the three original types of Poké Ball are used to identify the Trainer's rank; most Trainers keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, [[Gym Leader]]s use Great Balls, and [[Elite Four]] members use Ultra Balls.

In the {{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}, Beast Balls were created for the [[Aether Foundation]] by Colress as a means of catching [[Ultra Beast]]s.

Like in the games, but unlike the anime, Pokémon placed in their balls don't recover from [[status condition]]s nor regain lost health, no matter how much time passes.

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
Besides regular Poké Balls, Apricorn Poké Balls also received notable attention in the [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]] manga. They were first featured in ''[[GB07|The Great Search! Let's Rescue The Slowpoke!]]'', where {{GnB|Gold}} and [[Kurt]] used some of Kurt's hand-made Poké Balls to save a group of {{p|Slowpoke}} from drowning in the flooding [[Slowpoke Well]]. Kurt's Level Ball also proved crucial in stopping the [[Black Tyranitar]]'s rampage during the manga's climax.

===Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All===
[[File:Poké Ball PM.png|thumb|200px|A Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
In [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]], Poké Balls are depicted as solid, with no visual identification as to which Poké Ball is which. In ''[[GDZ15|Special Chapter - Get Pikachu!]]'', it is revealed that when [[Shu]] met {{TP|Shu|Pikachu}}, Pikachu's Poké Ball had been abandoned in a forest because it was defective and it was causing Pikachu's electricity to be released throughout the surrounding area.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], Poké Balls are often shown as transparent to identify when a Pokémon is inside. They usually have their typical appearance from far away, suggesting that they may not always be transparent, or are only see-through from up close. Pokémon appear to be able to see the world outside of their Poké Balls, as shown in ''[[PM003|Bring Down the Powerful Opponent Onix!!]]'', when {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} sees {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|Pocket Monsters|Pikachu}} inside his Poké Ball, and they talk to each other. In ''[[PM001|Introducing the Pokémon Clefairy!!]]'', when {{PPM|Green}} is choosing Charmander as his [[starter Pokémon]], he is shown to be able to pick up and lift Charmander directly from the Poké Ball without throwing it first.

==In the TCG==
[[File:Rocket Sneak Attack artwork.png|thumb|Ultra Ball]]
Several variants of Poké Ball have been released in card form in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], ranging from the standard variants found in the games and other media to variants specific to the TCG.

* The standard {{TCG ID|Jungle|Poké Ball|64}} card, which was the first released, debuted in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion and has since been featured in many others. It features a TCG-centric mechanic, requiring a {{TCG|coin}} flip to search the deck for a {{TCG|Pokémon}} to be put in the hand. Most of the Poké Ball variants, both adapted from the games and exclusive to the TCG, are similar to this, with several requiring coin flips to use their effect.
* The Ultra Ball can be seen in the artwork of {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rocket's Sneak Attack|16}}, from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion. The 'H' on this Ultra Ball is derived from its Japanese name, ''Hyper Ball''. The {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Ultra Ball|102}} itself would appear in {{TCG|Dark Explorers}}, with its effect requiring the player to discard 2 cards from the hand to search the deck for a Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, which first appeared in the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|TCG expansion}} coinciding with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}} of the [[Generation I]] games, is somewhat of an upgrade to the Poké Ball, and does not require the coin flip that the Poké Ball does, instead restricting the search to Basic Pokémon. Later, in {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Great Ball|93}}'s effect was changed to have the player search the top 7 cards of the deck for any one Pokémon card and put it in the hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Master Ball|116}}, first appearing in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion, and in the games the most powerful of the Poké Balls, provides a vastly different effect than the standard. Rather than searching the entire deck, only the top seven cards may be searched. One {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in these seven can be put into the hand, while the rest must be shuffled back into the deck. In {{TCG|Plasma Blast}}, the {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Master Ball|94}} was changed to an [[Ace Spec]] that allowed the player to search the entire deck for any one Pokémon.
* Debuting in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Lure Ball|128}} is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the {{TCG|discard pile}} rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an {{TCG|Evolution card}} can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has since been reprinted in {{TCG|Celestial Storm}}.
* Also debuting in Skyridge, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Friend Ball|126}}, another [[Apricorn]] Ball, has a unique effect entirely, allowing the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same {{TCG|type}} as one of the opponent's Pokémon, making it effective in decks that typically match up well against their own type. It was also reprinted in Celestial Storm.
* The {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Fast Ball|124}} allows the player to go through their deck, turning over cards one at a time until they find the first evolution card, and then taking that into their hand, shuffling afterward. Like the other two Apricorn Balls, it debuted in Skyridge, but unlike the others, it has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Premier Ball|101}}, debuting in the {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, is special, much as in the games, and allows the player to search either the deck ''or'' the discard pile for a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} to put into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Luxury Ball|86}}, first found in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, is among the rarest of the Poké Ball varieties in the games, though its catch rate is the same as that of a normal Poké Ball. Likewise it is so with the TCG, allowing a non-{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|LV.X}} Pokémon to be searched from the deck, but only if another Luxury Ball card is not in the discard pile.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} released in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion has a similar effect to the Fast Ball released in Skyridge, allowing the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. An expansion of the Fast Ball's use, any Pokémon can be found, though this may prove an issue if the player is looking for an Evolution card specifically and finds a Basic Pokémon first, and vice versa.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Dusk Ball|110}}, also first found in Mysterious Treasures, features an effect somewhat opposite from the Master Ball's: Instead of the top seven cards being searched, only the bottom seven cards may be, and a Pokémon found there may be put into the player's hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Heavy Ball|88}}, first found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows the player to search through their deck for a Pokémon who has a retreat cost of 3 or more and put it in their hand, whereas the {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Level Ball|89}}, also found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows them to do the same with a Pokémon that has 90 HP or less.
* The {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Repeat Ball|136}}, found only in {{TCG|Primal Clash}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon with the same name as one of their Pokémon in play.
* The {{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Nest Ball|123}}, first found in {{TCG|Sun & Moon}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Basic Pokémon and put it on their bench, whereas the {{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Timer Ball|134}}, also found in {{TCG|Sun & Moon}}, allows them to search for Evolution Pokémon for the amount of heads from flipping two coins.
* The {{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Net Ball|187}}, first found in {{TCG|Lost Thunder}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Basic {{e|Grass}} Pokémon or a {{e|Grass}} Energy card and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Beast Ball|125}}, first found in {{TCG|Celestial Storm}}, allows the player to look at their Prize Cards, and swap an [[Ultra Beast]] found there with the Beast Ball card.
* The {{TCG ID|Unified Minds|Cherish Ball|191}}, first found in {{TCG|Unified Minds}}, allows the player to search their deck for any {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Evolving Skies|Dream Ball|146}}, first found in {{TCG|Evolving Skies}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon and put it on their bench, but the card can only be played if the player took it as a face down Prize card.
* The {{TCG ID|Astral Radiance|Feather Ball|141}}, first found in {{TCG|Astral Radiance}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon with no Retreat Cost and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Astral Radiance|Hisuian Heavy Ball|146}}, first found in Astral Radiance, allows the player to look at their Prize cards, and swap a Basic Pokémon found there with the Hisuian Heavy Ball card.

==In the Super Smash Bros. series==
[[File:Poké Ball SSBB.png|thumb|right|Render of a Poké Ball from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
{{smashWiki|Poké Ball}}
In the {{sbw|Super Smash Bros. series}}, Poké Balls appear as items, which fighters can pick up and throw to release a random Pokémon. These Pokémon will typically attack the opponents of the player who summoned them, but may also have other effects. Starting in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U'', the Master Ball also appears as an item, which has the same effect as Poké Balls but can only summon {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] (or {{p|Goldeen}}).

The Pokémon that can appear from Poké Balls differ between the games. The {{DL|Super Smash Bros.|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros.]] all come from [[Generation I]], the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Melee|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] come from up to [[Generation II]], the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] come from up to [[Generation IV]], the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] come from up to [[Generation VI]], and the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] come from up to [[Generation VII]]. The only Pokémon that have appeared in all of the Super Smash Bros. games as Poké Ball Pokémon are {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and {{p|Mew}}.

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

====[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]====
''"An item used for capturing Pokémon and calling them out into battle. Pokémon live in these items which despite appearances, actually contain a wide, comfortable Pokémon-friendly world inside them. In Super Smash Bros., Pokémon give temporary support to who calls them out. You never know which you will get, but some are devastatingly powerful."''

====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
=====Poké Ball=====
[[File:Poké Ball 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Poké Ball trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
'''NA''': ''An item used to call out different Pokémon. Which Pokémon emerges is a mystery, but it will aid whoever threw the Poké Ball. Some of the Pokémon contained inside are extremely powerful and will really intensify the battle. It's definitely worth beating your opponents to these!''

'''PAL''': ''A ball holding one of any number of Pokémon just waiting to burst out and help you in battle. Which kind will it be? Well, that's a surprise, but whichever one it is, it'll definitely up the intensity of the battle! If you see one, make sure you're the one to grab it!''
{{-}}

=====Master Ball=====
[[File:Master Ball 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Master Ball trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
'''NA''': ''These valuable, powerful balls can capture any wild Pokémon. In Smash Bros., hard-to-find Pokémon often pop out of them. You can easily identify a Master Ball by the distinct purple appearance and large M on the top. A Pokémon within a Master Ball may turn the tide of battle.''

'''PAL''': ''A rare type of Poké Ball that never fails to catch a Pokémon. Throw one in this game, and the Mythical or Legendary Pokémon inside will come to your aid. Master Balls are easy to identify due to their purple colour and the large M on them. Use one to quickly turn the tide of any battle!''
{{-}}

==Other variants==
The following Poké Ball variants are found outside of the standard games. They are often very unusual compared to the 27 types found in the games, and it is sometimes questionable whether or not they even qualify as Poké Balls. Many have separate articles, where their unique properties are described in greater detail.

===In the games===
* [[Pester Ball]]s: These objects, which appear similar to Poké Balls at a glance, are not used to catch Pokémon, and instead will release a Pokémon repellent on contact. They are only found in {{g|Snap}}.
* The [[GS Ball]] is an event item that appears only in {{game|Crystal}}, where it was part of a giveaway on the [[Mobile System GB]] for Japanese games, similar to [[event item]]s given out via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] and [[Nintendo Network]] from [[Generation IV]] onward. It was not used to catch any Pokémon and was placed in the [[Key Items]] pocket. If given to [[Kurt]] for inspection, it will activate an event where the player can catch a {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]].
* Numerous sprites in the [[Generation III]] core series games have off-color Poké Balls due to sprite palette limitations. While they are most likely intended to be standard Poké Balls, their color scheme is sometimes distinct from the usual color scheme.
* A [[Snag Ball]] is not a single, separate type of Poké Ball, but rather any type of existing Poké Ball that has been "unlocked" by the Snag Machine, allowing it to [[snagging|snag]] an already-[[caught Pokémon]] during a {{pkmn|battle}}. While it is ''able'' to be used on any Pokémon, [[Rui]] will only allow [[Wes]] to use it on [[Shadow Pokémon]], while [[Michael]]'s Aura Reader will render the Snag Machine inoperable when a Pokémon other than a Shadow Pokémon is targeted.
* When transferring Pokémon via [[Poké Transfer]], a blue-colored Poké Ball is used to catch the Pokémon in the minigame. They are shot using a bow.
* Typing Balls are used in [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]]. They are thrown after one successfully types a Pokémon's name. It has the overall design like that of a normal Poké Ball, only having an additional vertical line at the bottom, resembling the letter "T".
* In the [[Timegate Traveler Series]] featured in [[Pokéstar Studios]], the future is ruled by {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that capture wild humans in Human Balls (Japanese: '''ヒューマンボール''' ''Human Ball'') instead of the other way around. They have no visual difference to Poké Balls.
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the [[Dynamax Band]] allows Trainers to increase the size of Poké Balls, making them look like giant [[Premier Ball]]s.
** When a Pokémon is [[Dynamax]]ed (including [[Gigantamax]]ing) with a Dynamax Band, the Trainer returns their active Pokémon to its Poké Ball, then turns the Poké Ball into a giant Poké Ball. This giant Poké Ball is then thrown, sending out the Dynamax Pokémon.
** In [[Max Raid Battle]]s and [[Dynamax Adventure]]s, when the {{pkmn2|wild}} Dynamax Pokémon is defeated, the Trainer turns an empty Poké Ball into a giant Poké Ball, then throws it at the wild Dynamax Pokémon in an attempt to catch it.
* In {{g|UNITE}}, in addition to the regular Poké Balls a Trainer will use to send out their own Pokémon, they use a unique variety of Poké Ball. These Poké Balls are orange, purple, and yellow in colour, with a yellow stripe around in the middle and a white button. The pattern gives the Poké Ball a "U" design. These Poké Balls are used to catch Pokémon in UNITE battles, and appear to have a 100% catch rate. They also determine the amount of points a Trainer's current Pokémon has. A Trainer can throw multiple balls at once.

===In the anime===
* A green Poké Ball appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Interestingly, the cover of the book {{OBP|Grass Pokédex|book}} greatly resembles this Poké Ball, and is labeled as a Safari Ball.
** In addition to this, the artwork of {{ga|Brendan}}, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, features Brendan holding a green Poké Ball.
* Several objects were used to contain and control Pokémon before Poké Balls themselves were developed. Large monumental objects have been shown several times in episodes to be containers for large ancient Pokémon, as seen most notably in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. Smaller objects have also been used, such as the staff belonging to [[Sir Aaron]], which contained his partner, {{OBP|Lucario|M08}}, until {{Ash}} released it in the current era. Special armor developed by [[Marcus]] was used to control Pokémon in ancient [[Michina Town]], though it did not directly ''contain'' the Pokémon; unlike other methods of using Pokémon, these Pokémon were enslaved, instead of befriended, and they turned against him the moment the armor was broken.
* {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} had a collection of strange Poké Balls known as (Japanese: '''ミュウツーボール''' ''Mewtwo Balls'') in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', which incorporated an eye into their design, and were used primarily to capture Pokémon to be cloned. These balls had no trouble catching Pokémon which were already captured—even if they were already inside of Poké Balls.
* In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', [[Molly Hale]], whose imagination caused the power of the {{OBP|Unown|M03}} to change the world around them, was able to use strange, crystalline Poké Balls when she challenged {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}. The Pokémon sent from these appeared normally, but dissolved into crystal, rather than being recalled. These crystal Poké Balls only appeared when used by her imagined older selves, and do not appear to actually exist.
* A special variant of Poké Ball, the Lake Ball, was used during the [[Seaking Catching Competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''; this is viewed by many to be similar to the Sport Ball used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball. They don't shake after capture, implying an automatic catch.
* In ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]'', specially marked Poké Balls appeared at the {{jo|Battle Park}}, containing the Park's [[rental Pokémon]]. They looked almost exactly like standard Poké Balls, except that they had the Park's stylized "BP" logo on the top.
* Older Poké Balls have also appeared in the anime, specifically the one carried by [[Sam]] in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', which was colored differently, and it had a knob that needed to be twisted before the Pokémon inside could be sent out. While it is unknown how these types were manufactured, it is likely that they were made by hand using Apricorns, prior to the standardization and mass production of modern-day Poké Balls.
* The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], an agent of [[Team Rocket]], used special [[Dark Ball]]s that corrupted Pokémon caught inside them and made them into mindless servants of the Trainer, as well as raising their power significantly. Multiple Pokémon were caught in these Poké Balls, including the {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} and a powerful {{p|Tyranitar}}. They seem capable of catching any Pokémon without fail.
* As in the games, the [[GS Ball]] appeared in the anime, and was the primary motivation for Ash's trip to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], where he would compete in his second Pokémon League. It also served as the catalyst for his journey to [[Johto]], as he needed to deliver the ball to [[Kurt]]. Former director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] revealed that a shelved storyline, that would have concluded the GS Ball's arc, involved a {{p|Celebi}} that would have traveled with Ash and his friends through at least part of Johto. The storyline was viewed as redundant after the decision was made to introduce Celebi in the fourth movie instead.
* ''[[AG104|Claydol, Big and Tall]]'' featured the "Stone Ball", a huge Poké Ball made of stone used to keep an evil, giant {{p|Claydol}} that levied destruction everywhere. This Poké Ball is about the size of a two-story house.
* In ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', an ancient relic resembling a Poké Ball was first mentioned by {{an|Brandon}}, who told Ash and his friends a story about the [[King of Pokélantis]], who had once tried to control {{p|Ho-Oh}} for his own evil purposes. When Ash later found the relic, it was revealed that the King of Pokélantis's spirit was actually sealed within it, and it possessed Ash until it was banished from his body and resealed back inside the relic.
* In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', a specially marked Poké Ball, called the "Fishing Poké Ball", was used in the fake fishing contest set up by {{TRT}}. This Poké Ball highly resembled the regular red and white Poké Ball, except that it had a dark fish mark on its red part.
* In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', the participants of the [[Pokémon Catch Race]] used special "Catch Race Poké Balls" to catch specifically marked Pokémon around [[Fula City]]. These Poké Balls feature a blue-and-white color scheme, with a gold button.
* In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', starting from ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', the Team Rocket trio was provided with the [[Rocket Prize Master]], a vending machine that lets them borrow random Pokémon from it, contained in special Team Rocket Poké Balls. When a Pokémon is sent out from them, these Balls drop a small leaflet explaining details about the Pokémon in question.
* Dynamaxed Poké Balls were first used in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'' during {{an|Lance}} and {{an|Leon}}'s [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}}. In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', [[Goh]], with Ash's help, used a Dynamaxed Poké Ball to catch a weakened {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, which was later sealed away.

===In the manga===
====The Electric Tale of Pikachu====
* In ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', a giant Poké Ball named the Enormo Poké Ball-X1 (Japanese: '''ビッグモンスターボールX1''' ''Big Monster Ball-X1'') or EPB-X1 for short, was created to capture the gigantic {{p|Haunter}}, [[Black Fog]]. It was destroyed when the Black Fog used {{m|Explosion}} to free itself after being captured.

====Pokémon Adventures====
* [[Bruno]] has modified his Poké Balls so that they are fitted onto the ends of his {{wp|Nunchaku|nunchucks}}. By swinging them quickly and throwing the nunchuck forward, Bruno can have his Pokémon quickly attack his opponent, giving him the advantage.
* [[Koga]] and his daughter [[Janine]] modified their Poké Balls into {{wp|shuriken}} to fit their ninja theme. In addition to being used as weapons, they can also be used to have their Pokémon pop up from different locations to surprise the opponent or to hold items to help an ally.
* [[Bugsy]] had [[Kurt]] modify his butterfly net into something he calls a Capture Net. His net has a Poké Ball nested into the middle of it. The bag of the net is made of the same material of the inside of a Poké Ball. Once a Pokémon is covered in the bag, they will automatically be sucked into the Poké Ball.
* [[Falkner]] has modified his Poké Balls into boomerangs using the feathers of his {{p|Skarmory}}. Because of Skarmory's feathers being transparent, they have the tendency to turn invisible, confusing enemies when Falkner throws them in random directions only for them to turn around and go straight for them.
* [[Erika]] and {{adv|Moon}} modified their Poké Balls to be at the end of their arrows.
* In ''[[PS283|It Takes Patience, Knowledge and a Really Quick Beedrill]]'', {{adv|Giovanni}} used a specifically designed Poké Ball with the letters "DNA" on its top half to capture {{adv|Deoxys}}.
* Multiple Dynamaxed Poké Balls have appeared in the {{chap|Sword & Shield}}, having been used to both capture Dynamax Pokémon and send them out.

===In the TCG===
* The {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}} is merely two Poké Balls together, and has a similar effect to using two plain Poké Ball cards, requiring two coin flips to search for up to two Basic Pokémon, depending on how many heads appear.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}} is [[Team Magma]]'s Poké Ball variant, found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It allows the user to search for a Team Magma's Pokémon, but if a coin flip results in tails, the search is limited to {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic}} Team Magma Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}} is [[Team Aqua]]'s Poké Ball variant, also found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works ''exactly'' the same as the Team Magma Ball, searching for Team Aqua's Pokémon instead.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}} is the [[Team Rocket]] variation on the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion. No coin flip is required, and it simply allows the player to search for a {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.
* The {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Team Plasma Ball|105}} is the [[Team Plasma]] variant of the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}} expansion. It allows the user to search for a Team Plasma Pokémon without a coin flip required.
* The {{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Magma's Great Ball|31}} is another Team Magma Poké Ball variant, found in the {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion. It searches the deck for a Basic Team Magma Pokémon and a basic {{e|Fighting}} energy.
* The {{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Aqua's Great Ball|27}} is another Team Aqua Poké Ball variant, also found in the {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion. It searches the deck for a Basic Team Aqua Pokémon and a basic {{e|Water}} energy instead.

[[File:Itemball.png|thumb|left|220px|{{ga|Red}} finding an item ball on {{rt|2|Kanto}}]]
[[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.png|thumb|220px|Ash catching a [[rice ball]] thrown by a wild {{AP|Mankey|Primeape}}]]
In both the anime and games, it has been shown that [[item]]s can be contained in Poké Balls, apparently able to be captured in much the same way as a Pokémon. The anime has used this as a gag on several occasions, most notably in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', where {{Ash}} accidentally catches a rice ball when he throws a Poké Ball in an attempt to catch a wild Mankey.

Items contained in Poké Balls have been present from the very first games, with many items that are found on the field being found in Poké Balls in conspicuous locations. These items are sometimes important, and usually will be among the required items for pickup along the way. Sometimes, even Poké Ball variants can be found in item balls, though it may be that the item ball itself is supposed to represent the ball that is found. Many other items, however, are hidden, and are not in item balls, instead being directly on the field, and can be found more easily using an Itemfinder or [[Dowsing Machine]].

{{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Foongus}}, {{p|Amoonguss}}, and {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Stunfisk}} appear as item balls in the overworld, but attack when interacted with (or if at close range for Galarian Stunfisk), except the Foongus in [[Accumula Town]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], fake item balls appear upside down.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* {{an|Professor Oak}} has written {{wp|senryū}} about the Poké Ball in two of his lectures:
** For [[DP003]], the [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] featured this senryū: 「ゲットだぜ　なげかたいろいろ　モンスターボール」 ''"I caught a Pokémon! {{tt|Monster Balls|Poké Balls}} can be thrown in all sorts of ways."''
** For [[BW002]], the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]] featured this senryū: 「あっポケモン　モンスターボール　わすれずに」 ''"Oh, a Pokémon; don't forget to bring your {{tt|Monster Balls|Poké Balls}}."''
* In {{g|Pinball}}, the Poké Balls serve as the balls in the machine; they can be used to capture Pokémon and are upgraded depending on the multiplier bonus at the time.
* In some early artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Poké Balls are shown on the ground in two pieces while the Pokémon are in battle, rather than in the more familiar hinged form they take now. This may be a carryover from when Pokémon was known as Capsule Monsters, as the Poké Ball sprites in [[Generation I]] also do not show the button on the ball. In [[Generation II]], Poké Balls split in half when capturing a Pokémon as part of their animation, while the anime had been using the hinge style since the very first episode.
* Poké Balls are inspired by the capsules for {{wp|gashapon}} machines, which contain small, handheld toys.
* In Generation II, after catching a Pokémon, the Poké Ball's color palette changes to that of the Pokémon that was just caught. It then changes back to normal thereafter.
* Starting in [[Generation III]], all Poké Ball types have a special effect that appears whenever the ball is opened. These special effects also can be seen in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. In [[Generation IV]], customizable special effects are available through [[Seal]]s.
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[Cyrus]]'s computer indicates that a Poké Ball would limit the power of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. This leads to [[Team Galactic]] creating the [[Red Chain]] instead to shackle them so they can control their full power.
* [[Generation VI]] is the only generation to date to have not introduced a new type of Poké Ball in the games.

[[File:Poké Balls GL.png|thumb|250px|The 27 Poké Ball variants found in the [[core series]]]]
[[File:Poké Ball sketch.png|thumb|250px|Original concept]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] that is critical to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest, used for {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} and storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Both a general term used to describe the various kinds as well as a specific term to refer to the most basic among these variations, Poké Balls are ubiquitous in the modern Pokémon world. Up to six Pokémon can be carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in Poké Balls, while more Poké Balls can be held in the [[Bag]] for later use. These six Pokémon in the Poké Balls can be attached to the user's belt for carrying them around. Some Pokémon do not like to be carried around in Poké Balls, such as [[Ash's Pikachu]].

The strength of a Poké Ball is determined by how much it raises a [[wild Pokémon]]'s [[catch rate]], and may in fact vary depending on the conditions of the battle. Poké Balls limit the power of Pokémon contained inside, taming them, though they do not cause the Pokémon inside to always obey the Trainer.

Stylized Poké Balls are used in many places to symbolize Pokémon in general: the logos of the [[Battle Frontier]]s, the [[Pokémon Contest]]s, the [[Pokéathlon]], and the [[Pokémon Musical]] all feature a Poké Ball in their design, while several Poké Balls can be seen in every Pokémon Center. The headgear of the protagonists of [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]-based games feature Poké Ball designs, as do the [[Bag]]s of the protagonists of [[Johto]]-based games. {{ga|Ethan}}'s headgear is also similar to the top half of an Ultra Ball, and {{ga|Lucas}}'s Bag prominently features a Poké Ball.

==History==
{{main|History of Poké Balls}}
[[File:Legends Arceus Poké Ball.png|thumb|150px|left|A Poké Ball used by those who explored the Hisui region.]]
The invention of Poké Balls occurred in the [[Johto]] region, where [[Apricorn]]s grow; these fruit were cut apart and carved out, then fitted with a special device, and used to catch wild Pokémon. Some Trainers still use Poké Balls made from Apricorns, while [[Kurt]], a resident of [[Azalea Town]], still constructs them. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] shows that the first settlers of the [[Sinnoh]] region, back when it was known as the [[Hisui]] region, used pre-modern Poké Balls made of [[Tumblestone]] and Apricorns, with [[Professor Laventon]] claiming they were a more recent invention. According to [[Professor Elm]], before the invention of the Poké Ball, people would [[Walking Pokémon|walk with their Pokémon]].

In the games, in the [[Memory Link]] event {{DL|Memory Link|A New Light}}, [[Drayden]] claims that Poké Balls did not exist during his childhood. According to the [[Encyclopedia Pokemonica]], [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]], and a [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] site describing the [[Pokémon world]], modern Poké Balls were developed in 1925 from the research of Professor Westwood of [[Celadon University]].

Modern Poké Balls are not normally made from Apricorns, with the exception of specialist Poké Balls such as the [[Moon Ball]]. Modern Poké Balls are manufactured by [[Silph Co.]], the [[Devon Corporation]], and the Kalos [[Poké Ball Factory]].

In the anime, in ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'', modern Poké Balls are found in the [[ghost ship]], implying that modern Poké Balls were first made at least 300 years ago. According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Poké Balls were developed to allow for various Trainers to efficiently capture and train Pokémon in relatively little risk to themselves, as the act of training a Pokémon often results in severe injuries and even death. It also claims that the Pokémon {{p|Primeape}} and its notoriously violent nature was directly responsible for their creation.

In the anime, prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as magical creatures (Japanese: {{tt|魔獣|まじゅう}} ''majū''), indicating that the name Pokémon, short for Pocket Monster, did not come into common parlance as a term until Poké Balls allowed the various magical creatures to be stored easily.
{{-}}

==Mechanics and design==
[[File:Anime Poke Ball Mechanics.jpg|thumb|220px|A schematic displaying Poké Ball size, storage, and mechanics]]
Though the technology behind a Poké Ball remains unknown and has evolved through the centuries to accommodate the diverse requirements of their creators, the basic mechanics are simple enough to understand and tend to remain constant: in a [[Pokémon battle]], once an opposing wild Pokémon has been weakened, the Pokémon Trainer can throw a Poké Ball at it. When a Poké Ball hits the Pokémon, as long as it is not deflected, the Poké Ball will open, cause the Pokémon to shrink, store it inside, and close. A Pokémon in this state is given a chance to struggle to attempt to break free from the ball and escape, being instantly growing back in size. Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device will either be destroyed (in the games and some manga) or will return to the Trainer (anime), who can attempt once again to catch the Pokémon. A Pokémon who does not escape the Ball will be {{pkmn2|caught}}. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] elaborates a bit on how the Pokémon are contained in a Poké Ball, with [[Professor Laventon]] explaining that Pokémon have the ability to reduce their size to miniscule, and Poké Balls take advantage of this to contain them.

Poké Balls are specifically constructed for Pokémon capture, transport, and training. As well as being physically difficult to escape from (as they seal tightly shut as soon as a Pokémon is taken into them) the environment of a Poké Ball is designed to be attractive to Pokémon also; according to Lucian of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], weakened Pokémon instinctively curl up tight in an attempt to heal themselves, an action that the environment of the Poké Ball encourages. Furthermore, while it is not known how caught Pokémon perceives their time inside their Ball, the device is said to replicate a "Pokémon-friendly" environment that is "designed for comfort". All of these factors strongly discourage Pokémon from escaping their Balls. In the manga, Bugsy refers to his "capture net" as being the net that is supposedly inside a Poké Ball, but visible and already deployed. According to Kurt, this invisible net captures and physically stores a Pokémon.

[[File:Poke Ball Interior.png|thumb|left|220px|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime]]
Poké Balls are not always at full size. Pressing the button on the front will convert it between its full size, about the size of a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a smaller size, about that of a {{wp|Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball}}, and back again. The larger size makes throwing the ball easier, while the smaller one makes for easier storage on a belt clip, in pockets, and in Bags. When a Trainer [[Dynamax|Dynamaxes]] or [[Gigantamax|Gigantamaxes]] a Pokémon, the Poké Ball expands to the size of an {{wp|Ball (association football)|association football}}.

As mentioned, the generic Poké Ball design is not constant and has been remodeled and altered innumerable times in order to create new Poké Balls that are adapted for specific conditions. For example, it is seen in several anime episodes such as ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' that normal Poké Balls have difficulty catching Pokémon which are extremely large or extremely heavy. In the latter episode, it is revealed that ancient civilizations overcame this issue by constructing immense Poké Balls many times the size of the standard model known today, and made from stone instead. Other civilizations such as [[Pokémopolis]] also discovered new technologies that more closely resembled modern Poké Ball technology, such as the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Dark Device]] and the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Unearthly Urn]], which were also adapted for the capture and storage of massive Pokémon but in small containers. However, devices like these became lost to the ages and their roles were subsequently supplanted by Heavy Balls in the modern world.

[[File:Paul Chimchar release.png|thumb|220px|[[Paul]] releasing {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}]]
When a Pokémon is sent out from a Poké Ball, it will be accompanied by a distinctive sound effect and a bright light as it returns from its energy form and materialize nearby, often on the ground. This bright light has been shown to vary depending on the type of Ball in which the Pokémon is contained in the games, while it has always been shown to be white in the anime. Pokémon are recalled to their Poké Ball by holding up the Poké Ball with its button pointed at the Pokémon. A beam of red, white, or blue light will shoot from the button, converting the Pokémon back into energy and returning it to the Ball. The beam, however, has a limited range and can be dodged by the Pokémon. If the beam hits a person, they will be stunned for a moment, but aside from that, no ill effects will make themselves apparent.

[[Released Pokémon|Releasing]] a Pokémon from a Trainer's ownership, unlike normally sending the Pokémon out, will bathe the Pokémon in a blue glow, and the Poké Ball will no longer mark it, making it able to be caught by another Trainer's Poké Ball.

A Poké Ball can also be broken, which will release it from ownership, as seen when Jessie releases her Dustox in ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]''. If a Trainer has done so accidentally, it must somehow be fixed before the Pokémon can be recalled. This was seen in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'', where Ash becomes unable to recall Snorlax after its Poké Ball is broken. In the manga, if a Poké Ball is broken before a Pokémon is sent out, then that particular Pokémon cannot be used until their Poké Ball has been repaired. This happened several times in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, such as during {{adv|Red}}'s battle against {{adv|Giovanni}}, where the opening mechanism for the Poké Balls of Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] and [[Gyara]]dos were damaged, preventing either of them from being used in the match.

[[File:Iris Dragonite inside Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Iris's Dragonite]] inside a Poké Ball in the anime]]
Pokémon appear to be conscious while inside Poké Balls. Several Pokémon have shown the ability to leave and return to their Poké Balls at will, most notably among them [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Misty's Psyduck]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], [[Brock's Croagunk]], and [[Clemont's Chespin]], who tend to do so in every episode that they appear in. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', many Pokémon belonging to [[Gary Oak]], as well as other Trainers, including Ash Ketchum, demonstrated the ability to prevent themselves from being sent from their Poké Balls, as they refused to fight against the Diglett, though this has not been demonstrated since. Pokémon have also shown to be able to hear orders given by their Trainer right before they are sent out.

Pokémon can even make their Poké Ball jump and roll around at high speeds, while also being able to navigate, as seen in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], when the {{ga|partner Pokémon}} moves its Poké Ball onto an empty pedestal in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] after being caught in [[Pallet Town]].

[[File:Ash Pikachu failed catch.png|thumb|220px|A Poké Ball failing to catch an already owned Pokémon]]
Poké Balls are able to communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], as the system updates itself with information on newly-caught Pokémon, and keeps track of how many Pokémon the Trainer has with them. If a Trainer catches a new Pokémon with the full six already with them, the Pokédex will automatically send the newly-caught Pokémon in its Poké Ball to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] that the Trainer is using. As shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', a Pokémon caught by a Poké Ball is "marked" by it, and thus most Poké Balls thrown at it will have no effect aside from temporarily stunning it. In the games, as well as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', however, the Trainer of the Pokémon will block a Poké Ball thrown by another, though it is possible that this is more out of courtesy to their Pokémon than to prevent capture outright. In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash was able to catch his {{AP|Charmander}} in a Poké Ball despite his previous ownership by [[Damian|another Trainer]], though it may have lost its "mark" when it abandoned its previous Trainer by refusing to return to its old Poké Ball. Earlier in the same episode, Ash failed to catch the same Charmander while it still held its loyalty, despite its weak condition.

Other wireless capabilities of Poké Balls are shown in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', as when the electricity of the city is down, {{OBP|Rebecca|M07}} claims that the "Poké Ball Management System" was no longer working without power. There has been no mention of any such system since.

Poké Balls are able to be decorated to no ill effect, with several Poké Balls that have been painted with special colors being seen in the anime. Additionally, a [[Ball Capsule]] can be used in combination with [[Seal]]s to create special effects when the Pokémon is sent out.
{{-}}

==Poké Ball accuracy==
In some scenarios, a Poké Ball can miss the wild Pokémon completely (in contrast to breaking if the Poké Ball does not successfully capture the Pokémon):
* In the [[Generation I]] games, it was possible for a ball to miss the Pokémon when the likelihood of catching the Pokémon in question was particularly low—rather than the ball throwing animation playing and the ball wiggling zero times, a message would come up stating "You missed the <sc>Pokémon</sc>!".
* In the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{OBP|ghost|literal}}s in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]] dodge any ball thrown at them before being unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]. The [[Marowak (ghost)|Marowak ghost]] will dodge all Poké Balls even if it is unmasked.
* In {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, and in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} outside of battle, Poké Balls are thrown manually, and the player must aim properly to hit the Pokémon. Some Poké Balls, namely the {{hi|Heavy Ball}} and [[Feather Ball]] lines, have noticeably different throwing distances and trajectories compared to the standard variations.

In other scenarios, it is simply not possible to use Poké Balls in the first place:
* In the Generation I and II core series games, if both the player's party and their current [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] are full, the player cannot throw a Poké Ball.
* In the [[core series]] games, in {{pkmn2|wild}} battles the player cannot throw a Poké Ball if there are multiple opponents—such as in wild [[Double Battle]]s, [[Horde Encounter]]s, or [[SOS Battle]]s—with the game claiming that it's impossible to aim.
** This is not the case in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.
** In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, it is possible to snag a [[Shadow Pokémon]] even if there are two on the opposing side of the field.
* From {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onward, it is not possible to throw a Poké Ball if the opposing Pokémon is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move (such as {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}).
* Starting in [[Generation V]], in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s, it is not possible to issue a command to one Pokémon and then throw a Poké Ball as the second Pokémon's turn. However, it is still possible to throw a Poké Ball if one Pokémon is in the middle of a two-turn move.
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, [[Ghetsis]] uses his cane to control a wild {{p|Kyurem}} and orders it to attack the {{player}}. The cane also emits signals that disrupt the use of empty Poké Balls, preventing Kyurem from being captured during the climax.
* In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, the player is forbidden from throwing Poké Balls at wild Pokémon in a [[Island challenge|trial]] site until the trial has been cleared.
* In Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, a signal that prevents the use of empty Poké Balls is broadcast throughout [[Aether Paradise]] to protect the Pokémon living there. This prevents the player from capturing the wild {{p|Nihilego}} that attacks them on their first visit to the facility.
* In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player cannot use a Poké Ball on a {{p|Necrozma}} that has {{form|Necrozma|fused}} with a {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}}.
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the player cannot catch a Pokémon whose level is above the limit the player's current [[Badge]]s can allow. Such Pokémon is described as "very strong-looking".
* In [[The Crown Tundra]] expansion, the player cannot catch {{p|Spectier}} or {{p|Glastrier}} during the encounter with it in the village because "It won't let its guard down!"
* In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the player cannot catch the {{form|Giratina|Origin Forme}} {{p|Giratina}} encountered inside the Distortion Room in [[Ramanas Park]].
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the player cannot catch certain Pokémon, including [[noble Pokémon]] and {{p|Arceus}}.

==Types of Poké Balls==
In the Pokémon games so far, there have been 35 (38 if the Hisuian Poke Ball, Great Ball, and Ultra Ball are counted as individual varieties) different varieties of Poké Balls, all differing from each other in some way, whether it be an increased ability to catch a Pokémon from the wild or an effect which occurs only after the Pokémon has been caught. From Generation III onward, each variety of Poké Ball has a unique animation when it sends out a Pokémon (and also when it catches one prior to Generation VI), and the type of Poké Ball used to catch the Pokémon is preserved on its [[summary]] screen.

Prior to Generation VI, all hatched Pokémon are in a standard Poké Ball. In [[Generation VI]], a [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon will be in the same Poké Ball as its mother, unless its mother was in a Cherish Ball or Master Ball, in which case the Pokémon will be in a standard Poké Ball; Pokémon bred from a male or gender-unknown Pokémon and {{p|Ditto}} will hatch in a standard Poké Ball. Since [[Generation VII]], Pokémon bred from a male and a Ditto inherit the father's ball as well, and if two Pokémon of the same species in different balls are bred, the resulting offspring will be in either the mother's or father's ball.

Regardless of type of Poké Ball, {{m|Fling}} will fail if the user is holding one.

| In {{g|Sun and Moon}} only, a Heavy Ball will always fail to catch a Pokémon whose weight is less than 220.46 lbs (100.0 kg) and whose catch rate is less than or equal to 20. This is because the game will set the catch rate to 0 when the catch rate becomes negative due to the -20 modifier that is applied.

==In other games==
===Pokémon GO===
Players do not battle wild Pokémon in [[Pokémon GO]], and using Poké Balls is a matter of the player's aim. To throw one, the player must press their finger on the Poké Ball, move it, and release it. The Ball and Pokémon exist in a 3D environment, so the player may miss the Pokémon by throwing the Ball the wrong distance or too far to the side. Additionally, the wild Pokémon may attempt to dodge or attack every few seconds. When a Pokémon is attacking, any Poké Balls that hit it will be deflected. When a Pokémon dodges, it will move around but can still be hit by a thrown Ball.

:''See more: [[Caught Pokémon#Pokémon GO|Caught Pokémon → Pokémon GO]]

On the aiming screen, a colored circle displays over the Pokémon, gradually shrinks to nothing, then resets to its widest before continuing to shrink again. If the player's throw lands inside this circle, they will get a "Nice!", "Great!", or "Excellent!" catch chance bonus depending on how small the circle was. The player can also improve their catch chance by throwing a curveball. If the player spins the Ball while holding it, it will temporarily retain the spin and curve left or right when thrown.

:''See more: [[Catch rate (GO)]]

Three types of Poké Balls were available in Pokémon GO upon release: regular Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls. These remain the only types of Poké Balls that are generally available. They can be repeatably obtained by:
* Spinning [[PokéStop]]s or {{OBP|Gym|GO}}s (Lv. 12+ for Great Balls and Lv. 20+ for Ultra Balls)
* Opening a [[Gift]] (Lv. 12+ for Great Balls and Lv. 20+ for Ultra Balls)
* Completing certain [[Field Research]] or [[Special Research]] tasks
* Weekly [[Adventure Sync]] rewards

The player also receives Poké Balls upon [[Trainer level|leveling up]].
* Poké Balls awarded up to level 11 (including 50 Poké Balls starting at level 1)
* Great Balls awarded from level 12 to level 19
* Ultra Balls awarded starting level 20

Regular Poké Balls may be purchased in the Shop at the following rates:
* 20 for {{PCoin}}100
* 100 for {{PCoin}}460
* 200 for {{PCoin}}800

All three types of balls have also been available in limited-time Box deals.

Premier Balls debuted in Pokémon GO on June 20, 2017,{{fact}} a few days after its first anniversary with the introduction of {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s. They can only be used for catching Raid Bosses and {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}}, and other types of Poké Balls cannot be used on them. If the player runs out, the Raid Boss or Shadow Pokémon will flee. The number of Premier Balls are awarded to the player after a Raid Battle or [[Team GO Rocket]] battle is based on how well they battled. Unused Premier Balls are not retained and do not roll over to future challenges. Like in the main series, Premier Balls are just as effective as regular Poké Balls.

Beast Balls debuted in Pokémon GO on July 1, 2022 at Pokémon GO Fest 2022 Berlin.{{fact}} They can only be used for catching [[Ultra Beast]]s, and other types of Poké Balls cannot be used on them. Currently, an unlimited number of Beast Balls are provided to the player during an Ultra Beast encounter.

Master Balls are coded into Pokémon GO, but have not yet been made available.

===Pokémon Pinball series===
{{main|Ball Upgrade (Pinball)}}

In [[Pokémon Pinball]] and [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], the [[Poké Ball (item)|Poké Ball]], [[Great Ball]], [[Ultra Ball]], and [[Master Ball]] are available.

The Poké Ball is the normal ball used in the pinball tables since the beginning of the game. In both games, if the player lights up the three Field Multiplier Lanes found in all tables, the ball is upgraded to the next kind of Poké Ball (a Poké Ball is upgraded into a Great Ball, a Great Ball into an Ultra Ball, and an Ultra Ball into a Master Ball). If a minute passes without new Poké Ball upgrades, the ball returns to the previous state. If the player loses a ball, the next ball is a Poké Ball.

====Bonus points====
* The [[Poké Ball (item)|Poké Ball]] has no bonus multiplier.
* The [[Great Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×2.
* The [[Ultra Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×3.
* The [[Master Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×4 in [[Pokémon Pinball]] and by ×5 in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]].

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Ashball.png|thumb|250px|{{Ash}} pulling out a Poké Ball, preparing to catch a Pokémon]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the basic Poké Ball is the most commonly used of all varieties, with other varieties appearing either very few times or not at all. A vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variation among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the anime which spends all its time [[walking Pokémon|outside with Ash]], has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.

Despite this, the various other types of Poké Ball have been seen in the anime, usually to illustrate a special property about that particular ball. The lack of the different types is unsurprising, however, due to the fact that, when the anime was first created, the games themselves did not even keep track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was caught in, and thus, it made no difference in sending a Pokémon out. This has recently become less common as of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', possibly to reflect the fact that NPC Trainers in [[Generation VII]] have certain types of Poké Balls associated with them.

The first time that a Poké Ball aside from the normal variation was seen was in [[EP035]], where Ash was given 30 Safari Balls in order to compete in the Safari Game. With these 30 Safari Balls, Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon; however, he only managed to capture an entire herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; however, whenever Ash uses one of his Tauros in a battle, it is sent out from a standard Poké Ball.

[[File:Poké Ball success.png|thumb|left|250px|A Poké Ball after catching a Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
The [[GS Ball]] was the second of the variant Poké Balls to [[EP083|appear in the anime]], this time with a special purpose. This mysterious ball was unable to be opened by [[Professor Ivy]], and served as the reason for Ash's journeys to the [[Orange Archipelago]] (to pick it up) and [[Johto]] (to deliver it to [[Kurt]]), so that what was contained within it could be discovered. {{p|Celebi}} was long rumored to be related to the ball, something which the [[Pokémon Adventures]] and game canons verify, while [[Masamitsu Hidaka|a director of the anime]] confirmed that, had it not been insisted that {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} appear in a central role in [[M04|the fourth movie]], the GS Ball arc would have concluded with Celebi being released from the ball and traveling with Ash and his friends.

Also related to Kurt, as in the games, the first non-standard Poké Ball variants, the [[Apricorn]] balls, made an appearance in the anime, and several were given to the members of the main cast. All three members of the main cast received a Fast Ball each in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', with {{an|Brock}} using his to catch a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} shortly after receiving it. Many other Apricorn Poké Balls also appeared in a fantasy in this episode. In the [[EP144|next episode]], Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and {{an|Misty}} received a Lure Ball each. While Brock's Heavy Ball and Ash and Misty's Fast Balls would remain unused (and have not been mentioned since), both Ash and Misty would use their Lure Balls to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, respectively. Another Heavy Ball appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down]]'', where it was used to capture a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Gulpin}}, though this was not the one belonging to Brock. In ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', the {{DL|Kimono Girl|In the anime|Kimono Sisters}} (excluding [[Sakura]]) were shown keeping their [[Eeveelution]]s inside Apricorn Poké Balls, with Satsuki's {{p|Jolteon}}'s ball being a Moon Ball, Sumomo's {{p|Vaporeon}}'s ball being a Lure Ball, and Tamao's {{p|Umbreon}}'s ball being a Fast Ball. While Koume's {{p|Flareon}}'s ball wasn't shown, her kimono pattern indicates it being a Love Ball.
[[File:Ash Poké Ball.png|thumb|250px|Ash calling out a Pokémon]]
The Master Ball itself has only appeared once as an actual Poké Ball, in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', where it was used by [[Sullivan]] in a last resort attempt to catch a wild {{p|Whiscash}} called "[[Nero]]". Despite the fact that a Master Ball cannot be escaped from, the Whiscash ''swallowed'' the Master Ball, thus preventing capture, and disappeared back into the water. While not a Poké Ball itself, Misty owns a beach ball that is designed like the Master Ball, which can be seen in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.

The Generation III specialty balls have mostly been seen in cameos. The Repeat Ball and Luxury Ball appeared in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These balls contained {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Aggron}}, respectively.

The debut of most of the specialty balls, both from Generation III and IV, came in the ending [[Which One ~ Is It?]], which contained the first appearance of the Great Ball and Ultra Ball, as well as the first anime appearance of the Premier, Heal, Net, Dusk, Nest, Quick, Timer, and Dive Balls.

The first proper appearance of the Great, Ultra, Net, Nest, Dusk, Dive, Repeat, Premier, and Heal Balls was in ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', where these balls were seen being manufactured at the [[Poké Ball Factory]], in addition to normal Poké Balls, Luxury Balls, and Safari Balls, although the last ones were not shown. Although [[James]] did mention a Quick Ball in the Japanese version, one was never shown in the episode (a fact that was picked up by the [[dub]], which removed the Quick Ball reference). {{TRT}} tried to steal many of these Poké Balls, but were foiled by Ash and his friends.

[[File:Dawn Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|250px|{{an|Dawn}}'s Poké Balls with Ball Capsules and Seals]]
It was revealed in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'' that James had been collecting Poké Balls. When Jessie's attempts to catch a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} with typical Poké Balls had failed, she grabbed the Luxury Ball James had been polishing and used it instead, capturing Mimikyu, much to James's dismay. The rest of James's collection appeared in ''[[SM062|Acting True to Form!]]'', where it was revealed to also contain a Great, Ultra, Premier, Dusk, Heal, and Quick Ball, marking the first proper anime appearance of a Quick Ball. The collection reappeared in ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown!]]'', where it now consisted of a Premier, Dive, Nest, Quick, Heal, and Dusk Ball.

{{an|Gladion}} keeps all of his known Pokémon in special Poké Balls. His {{TP|Gladion|Lycanroc}} is kept in an Ultra Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}} is kept in a Premier Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Umbreon}} is kept in a Heal Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Zoroark}} is kept in a Dusk Ball (as first seen in the [[Poké Problem]] extra scene of [[SM127]]), and his {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Lillie|Nihilego}} is kept in a Beast Ball (as first seen in [[JN111]]).

Beast Balls debuted in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', in which the [[Aether Foundation]] provided multiple of them for Ash and {{ashcl}} to use during their missions as [[Ultra Guardians]]. Since then, Beast Balls have appeared in {{cat|Ultra Guardians episodes|a number of episodes}}. Most of the time they are only used to temporarily hold {{an|Ultra Beasts}} until they are released back into [[Ultra Space]]. The only Ultra Beasts that have been kept in a Beast Ball for longer than one episode are [[Ash's Naganadel]] and Gladion's {{p|Nihilego}}.

In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', {{an|Leon}} used an Ultra Ball in an attempt to catch {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, only for Eternatus to break out.
[[File:Sealed Poké Ball anime.png|thumb|250px|left|A sealed Poké Ball]]
Many other Poké Balls have been shown in the anime; however, most of these are cosmetic alterations alone, such as Poké Balls with gold plating, diamond studded Poké Balls, and Poké Balls with stickers or special designs on them, usually to denote an organization. [[Ball Capsule]]s and [[Seal]]s can also be used to customize a Poké Ball's appearance, and they add special effects when the Pokémon is sent out. In the anime, they are mostly used by {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s during [[Pokémon Contest]]s to create a showy entrance and ensure that the Pokémon will make a good impression right out of the Poké Ball.

Notably, a broken Poké Ball, snapped in half at its rusted hinges, was kept by both Ash and {{Gary}}, symbolizing their rivalry. After Ash defeated Gary during the [[Silver Conference]], Gary gave his half of the Ball to Ash as a sign of ending their rivalry.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', it was shown that if a Trainer catches a Pokémon while they already have six on hand, it is automatically sent to the regional {{pkmn|Professor}}. ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest]]'' shows a major difference in what happens after a Pokémon is captured. Instead of being automatically sent to the regional Professor, the Poké Ball is sealed and the button becomes red. The Pokémon is kept inactive until it is switched out by another actively in the Trainer's party.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Poké Ball PO.png|thumb|250px|A Poké Ball in Pokémon Origins]]
Besides the regular Poké Ball, the other Generation I variations of it were also seen during the [[Pokémon Origins]] miniseries. In ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', it was shown that [[Giovanni]] kept his strongest Pokémon, {{p|Rhyhorn}} and {{p|Rhydon}}, within Ultra Balls. In ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', {{OBP|Red|Origins}} was seen catching an {{p|Arbok}} with a Great Ball and a {{p|Chansey}} with a Safari Ball. He also used Ultra Balls to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}.

The Master Ball only appeared in a demonstration in ''File 3: Giovanni'', as it was still under development at the time. After [[Team Rocket]] was driven out of the [[Silph Co.]] building by Red, the development of the Master Ball was put on hold for a while.

Additionally, in Pokémon Origins, the sound effects and bright light used when a Trainer is catching, sending out, or recalling a Pokémon differ in comparison to the sound effects and lights that are used in the main Pokémon anime, more resembling the effects seen in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
{{-}}

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Ultra Ball PG.png|thumb|250px|An Ultra Ball in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
The only Poké Ball variant seen in [[Pokémon Generations]] was an Ultra Ball, which appeared in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]''. It was shown being used by {{player|a Trainer}} to catch a {{p|Deoxys}} in outer space.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|200px|A Poké Ball in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
In the various [[Pokémon manga]], Poké Balls have been shown to appear differently, as an attempt to explain how a Trainer knows which Pokémon is in which ball, as most Pokémon manga series were, like the anime, developed at a time when the games could not keep track of the ball a Pokémon was contained in.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], the rules are more similar to the anime; however, Poké Balls are numbered on the outside, on the button, so that a Trainer knows which member of their team they are sending into battle. In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Trainers must obtain a license before they are legally allowed to purchase Poké Balls.

It is also possible for a Pokémon to be placed inside a Poké Ball without it being owned by a Trainer. In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', [[Meowzie]] steals a Poké Ball from a shop and puts her kitten in it so that it will not be hurt by a flood affecting the city.

===Magical Pokémon Journey===
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the main characters generally do not capture Pokémon, rather, they befriend them. Although [[Almond]], one of the main characters, is known to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is not actually depicted capturing or raising any Pokémon. In fact, in the bonus materials of {{Vol|Magical Pokémon Journey|2}}, in which the cast of the manga meet {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in a series of crossovers, it is revealed that [[Hazel]] and [[Coconut]] do not even know what Poké Balls are. When Ash and Misty explain that they are used to capture Pokémon, they both proceed to attempt to use them to capture Almond, as he is each of their love interest.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Yellow Seadra Poké Ball.png|thumb|200px|{{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}} inside his Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the tops of Poké Balls are semitransparent, allowing the Pokémon inside, which is miniaturized, to be seen through the ball, while the Pokémon can likewise see out of the ball it is contained in. In this manga, unlike in the anime, Pokémon already captured can be recaught in another Poké Ball, as is seen when {{adv|Red}} recatches [[Gyara|Misty's Gyarados]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' (though {{adv|Blue}} states that catching a Pokémon that belongs to another is not possible in ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]'').

Like in the anime and the games, specialty balls do exist, although they are much more commonly used than in the anime. In ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'', [[Team Rocket]] was shown to have caught the {{adv|Legendary birds}} in Ultra Balls. In ''[[PS035|And Mewtwo... Three!]]'', [[Blaine]] gave Red the [[Master Ball]], which Red used to catch {{adv|Mewtwo}} shortly afterwards. In ''[[PS101|Teddiursa's Picnic]]'', {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively, with Silver using his ball to catch an {{TP|Silver|Ursaring}}, while Gold used his to catch a {{p|Teddiursa}} for [[Maizie]]. Close to the end of the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, the [[Masked Man]] was shown creating a [[GS Ball]] and using it to catch {{adv|Celebi}}. In ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]'', {{adv|Blake}} used Luxury Balls while trying to catch the {{p|Genesect}} controlled by [[Colress]], eventually succeeding. In [[PS583]], a Quick Ball was seen amongst the Poké Balls that {{adv|Y}} had used while trying to catch an {{p|Absol}}. Safari Balls have been seen being used by Red at the {{safari|Kanto|Kanto Safari Zone}}, by {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} at the [[Great Marsh]], and by Silver at the {{safari|Johto|Johto Safari Zone}}. {{adv|Crystal}} and {{adv|Emerald}} have also been shown using special balls to catch Pokémon, with Crystal specializing in [[Apricorn]] balls and Emerald specializing in Poké Balls introduced in [[Generation III]]. Additionally, the three original types of Poké Ball are used to identify the Trainer's rank; most Trainers keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, [[Gym Leader]]s use Great Balls, and [[Elite Four]] members use Ultra Balls.

In the {{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}, Beast Balls were created for the [[Aether Foundation]] by Colress as a means of catching [[Ultra Beast]]s.

Like in the games, but unlike the anime, Pokémon placed in their balls don't recover from [[status condition]]s nor regain lost health, no matter how much time passes.

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
Besides regular Poké Balls, Apricorn Poké Balls also received notable attention in the [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]] manga. They were first featured in ''[[GB07|The Great Search! Let's Rescue The Slowpoke!]]'', where {{GnB|Gold}} and [[Kurt]] used some of Kurt's hand-made Poké Balls to save a group of {{p|Slowpoke}} from drowning in the flooding [[Slowpoke Well]]. Kurt's Level Ball also proved crucial in stopping the [[Black Tyranitar]]'s rampage during the manga's climax.

===Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All===
[[File:Poké Ball PM.png|thumb|200px|A Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
In [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]], Poké Balls are depicted as solid, with no visual identification as to which Poké Ball is which. In ''[[GDZ15|Special Chapter - Get Pikachu!]]'', it is revealed that when [[Shu]] met {{TP|Shu|Pikachu}}, Pikachu's Poké Ball had been abandoned in a forest because it was defective and it was causing Pikachu's electricity to be released throughout the surrounding area.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], Poké Balls are often shown as transparent to identify when a Pokémon is inside. They usually have their typical appearance from far away, suggesting that they may not always be transparent, or are only see-through from up close. Pokémon appear to be able to see the world outside of their Poké Balls, as shown in ''[[PM003|Bring Down the Powerful Opponent Onix!!]]'', when {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} sees {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|Pocket Monsters|Pikachu}} inside his Poké Ball, and they talk to each other. In ''[[PM001|Introducing the Pokémon Clefairy!!]]'', when {{PPM|Green}} is choosing Charmander as his [[starter Pokémon]], he is shown to be able to pick up and lift Charmander directly from the Poké Ball without throwing it first.

==In the TCG==
[[File:Rocket Sneak Attack artwork.png|thumb|Ultra Ball]]
Several variants of Poké Ball have been released in card form in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], ranging from the standard variants found in the games and other media to variants specific to the TCG.

* The standard {{TCG ID|Jungle|Poké Ball|64}} card, which was the first released, debuted in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion and has since been featured in many others. It features a TCG-centric mechanic, requiring a {{TCG|coin}} flip to search the deck for a {{TCG|Pokémon}} to be put in the hand. Most of the Poké Ball variants, both adapted from the games and exclusive to the TCG, are similar to this, with several requiring coin flips to use their effect.
* The Ultra Ball can be seen in the artwork of {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rocket's Sneak Attack|16}}, from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion. The 'H' on this Ultra Ball is derived from its Japanese name, ''Hyper Ball''. The {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Ultra Ball|102}} itself would appear in {{TCG|Dark Explorers}}, with its effect requiring the player to discard 2 cards from the hand to search the deck for a Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, which first appeared in the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|TCG expansion}} coinciding with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}} of the [[Generation I]] games, is somewhat of an upgrade to the Poké Ball, and does not require the coin flip that the Poké Ball does, instead restricting the search to Basic Pokémon. Later, in {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Great Ball|93}}'s effect was changed to have the player search the top 7 cards of the deck for any one Pokémon card and put it in the hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Master Ball|116}}, first appearing in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion, and in the games the most powerful of the Poké Balls, provides a vastly different effect than the standard. Rather than searching the entire deck, only the top seven cards may be searched. One {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in these seven can be put into the hand, while the rest must be shuffled back into the deck. In {{TCG|Plasma Blast}}, the {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Master Ball|94}} was changed to an [[Ace Spec]] that allowed the player to search the entire deck for any one Pokémon.
* Debuting in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Lure Ball|128}} is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the {{TCG|discard pile}} rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an {{TCG|Evolution card}} can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has since been reprinted in {{TCG|Celestial Storm}}.
* Also debuting in Skyridge, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Friend Ball|126}}, another [[Apricorn]] Ball, has a unique effect entirely, allowing the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same {{TCG|type}} as one of the opponent's Pokémon, making it effective in decks that typically match up well against their own type. It was also reprinted in Celestial Storm.
* The {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Fast Ball|124}} allows the player to go through their deck, turning over cards one at a time until they find the first evolution card, and then taking that into their hand, shuffling afterward. Like the other two Apricorn Balls, it debuted in Skyridge, but unlike the others, it has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Premier Ball|101}}, debuting in the {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, is special, much as in the games, and allows the player to search either the deck ''or'' the discard pile for a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} to put into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Luxury Ball|86}}, first found in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, is among the rarest of the Poké Ball varieties in the games, though its catch rate is the same as that of a normal Poké Ball. Likewise it is so with the TCG, allowing a non-{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|LV.X}} Pokémon to be searched from the deck, but only if another Luxury Ball card is not in the discard pile.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} released in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion has a similar effect to the Fast Ball released in Skyridge, allowing the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. An expansion of the Fast Ball's use, any Pokémon can be found, though this may prove an issue if the player is looking for an Evolution card specifically and finds a Basic Pokémon first, and vice versa.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Dusk Ball|110}}, also first found in Mysterious Treasures, features an effect somewhat opposite from the Master Ball's: Instead of the top seven cards being searched, only the bottom seven cards may be, and a Pokémon found there may be put into the player's hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Heavy Ball|88}}, first found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows the player to search through their deck for a Pokémon who has a retreat cost of 3 or more and put it in their hand, whereas the {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Level Ball|89}}, also found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows them to do the same with a Pokémon that has 90 HP or less.
* The {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Repeat Ball|136}}, found only in {{TCG|Primal Clash}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon with the same name as one of their Pokémon in play.
* The {{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Nest Ball|123}}, first found in {{TCG|Sun & Moon}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Basic Pokémon and put it on their bench, whereas the {{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Timer Ball|134}}, also found in {{TCG|Sun & Moon}}, allows them to search for Evolution Pokémon for the amount of heads from flipping two coins.
* The {{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Net Ball|187}}, first found in {{TCG|Lost Thunder}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Basic {{e|Grass}} Pokémon or a {{e|Grass}} Energy card and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Beast Ball|125}}, first found in {{TCG|Celestial Storm}}, allows the player to look at their Prize Cards, and swap an [[Ultra Beast]] found there with the Beast Ball card.
* The {{TCG ID|Unified Minds|Cherish Ball|191}}, first found in {{TCG|Unified Minds}}, allows the player to search their deck for any {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Evolving Skies|Dream Ball|146}}, first found in {{TCG|Evolving Skies}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon and put it on their bench, but the card can only be played if the player took it as a face down Prize card.
* The {{TCG ID|Astral Radiance|Feather Ball|141}}, first found in {{TCG|Astral Radiance}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon with no Retreat Cost and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Astral Radiance|Hisuian Heavy Ball|146}}, first found in Astral Radiance, allows the player to look at their Prize cards, and swap a Basic Pokémon found there with the Hisuian Heavy Ball card.

==In the Super Smash Bros. series==
[[File:Poké Ball SSBB.png|thumb|right|Render of a Poké Ball from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
{{smashWiki|Poké Ball}}
In the {{sbw|Super Smash Bros. series}}, Poké Balls appear as items, which fighters can pick up and throw to release a random Pokémon. These Pokémon will typically attack the opponents of the player who summoned them, but may also have other effects. Starting in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U'', the Master Ball also appears as an item, which has the same effect as Poké Balls but can only summon {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] (or {{p|Goldeen}}).

The Pokémon that can appear from Poké Balls differ between the games. The {{DL|Super Smash Bros.|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros.]] all come from [[Generation I]], the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Melee|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] come from up to [[Generation II]], the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] come from up to [[Generation IV]], the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] come from up to [[Generation VI]], and the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] come from up to [[Generation VII]]. The only Pokémon that have appeared in all of the Super Smash Bros. games as Poké Ball Pokémon are {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and {{p|Mew}}.

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

====[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]====
''"An item used for capturing Pokémon and calling them out into battle. Pokémon live in these items which despite appearances, actually contain a wide, comfortable Pokémon-friendly world inside them. In Super Smash Bros., Pokémon give temporary support to who calls them out. You never know which you will get, but some are devastatingly powerful."''

====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
=====Poké Ball=====
[[File:Poké Ball 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Poké Ball trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
'''NA''': ''An item used to call out different Pokémon. Which Pokémon emerges is a mystery, but it will aid whoever threw the Poké Ball. Some of the Pokémon contained inside are extremely powerful and will really intensify the battle. It's definitely worth beating your opponents to these!''

'''PAL''': ''A ball holding one of any number of Pokémon just waiting to burst out and help you in battle. Which kind will it be? Well, that's a surprise, but whichever one it is, it'll definitely up the intensity of the battle! If you see one, make sure you're the one to grab it!''
{{-}}

=====Master Ball=====
[[File:Master Ball 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Master Ball trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
'''NA''': ''These valuable, powerful balls can capture any wild Pokémon. In Smash Bros., hard-to-find Pokémon often pop out of them. You can easily identify a Master Ball by the distinct purple appearance and large M on the top. A Pokémon within a Master Ball may turn the tide of battle.''

'''PAL''': ''A rare type of Poké Ball that never fails to catch a Pokémon. Throw one in this game, and the Mythical or Legendary Pokémon inside will come to your aid. Master Balls are easy to identify due to their purple colour and the large M on them. Use one to quickly turn the tide of any battle!''
{{-}}

==Other variants==
The following Poké Ball variants are found outside of the standard games. They are often very unusual compared to the 27 types found in the games, and it is sometimes questionable whether or not they even qualify as Poké Balls. Many have separate articles, where their unique properties are described in greater detail.

===In the games===
* [[Pester Ball]]s: These objects, which appear similar to Poké Balls at a glance, are not used to catch Pokémon, and instead will release a Pokémon repellent on contact. They are only found in {{g|Snap}}.
* The [[GS Ball]] is an event item that appears only in {{game|Crystal}}, where it was part of a giveaway on the [[Mobile System GB]] for Japanese games, similar to [[event item]]s given out via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] and [[Nintendo Network]] from [[Generation IV]] onward. It was not used to catch any Pokémon and was placed in the [[Key Items]] pocket. If given to [[Kurt]] for inspection, it will activate an event where the player can catch a {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]].
* Numerous sprites in the [[Generation III]] core series games have off-color Poké Balls due to sprite palette limitations. While they are most likely intended to be standard Poké Balls, their color scheme is sometimes distinct from the usual color scheme.
* A [[Snag Ball]] is not a single, separate type of Poké Ball, but rather any type of existing Poké Ball that has been "unlocked" by the Snag Machine, allowing it to [[snagging|snag]] an already-[[caught Pokémon]] during a {{pkmn|battle}}. While it is ''able'' to be used on any Pokémon, [[Rui]] will only allow [[Wes]] to use it on [[Shadow Pokémon]], while [[Michael]]'s Aura Reader will render the Snag Machine inoperable when a Pokémon other than a Shadow Pokémon is targeted.
* When transferring Pokémon via [[Poké Transfer]], a blue-colored Poké Ball is used to catch the Pokémon in the minigame. They are shot using a bow.
* Typing Balls are used in [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]]. They are thrown after one successfully types a Pokémon's name. It has the overall design like that of a normal Poké Ball, only having an additional vertical line at the bottom, resembling the letter "T".
* In the [[Timegate Traveler Series]] featured in [[Pokéstar Studios]], the future is ruled by {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that capture wild humans in Human Balls (Japanese: '''ヒューマンボール''' ''Human Ball'') instead of the other way around. They have no visual difference to Poké Balls.
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the [[Dynamax Band]] allows Trainers to increase the size of Poké Balls, making them look like giant [[Premier Ball]]s.
** When a Pokémon is [[Dynamax]]ed (including [[Gigantamax]]ing) with a Dynamax Band, the Trainer returns their active Pokémon to its Poké Ball, then turns the Poké Ball into a giant Poké Ball. This giant Poké Ball is then thrown, sending out the Dynamax Pokémon.
** In [[Max Raid Battle]]s and [[Dynamax Adventure]]s, when the {{pkmn2|wild}} Dynamax Pokémon is defeated, the Trainer turns an empty Poké Ball into a giant Poké Ball, then throws it at the wild Dynamax Pokémon in an attempt to catch it.
* In {{g|UNITE}}, in addition to the regular Poké Balls a Trainer will use to send out their own Pokémon, they use a unique variety of Poké Ball. These Poké Balls are orange, purple, and yellow in colour, with a yellow stripe around in the middle and a white button. The pattern gives the Poké Ball a "U" design. These Poké Balls are used to catch Pokémon in UNITE battles, and appear to have a 100% catch rate. They also determine the amount of points a Trainer's current Pokémon has. A Trainer can throw multiple balls at once.

===In the anime===
* A green Poké Ball appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Interestingly, the cover of the book {{OBP|Grass Pokédex|book}} greatly resembles this Poké Ball, and is labeled as a Safari Ball.
** In addition to this, the artwork of {{ga|Brendan}}, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, features Brendan holding a green Poké Ball.
* Several objects were used to contain and control Pokémon before Poké Balls themselves were developed. Large monumental objects have been shown several times in episodes to be containers for large ancient Pokémon, as seen most notably in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. Smaller objects have also been used, such as the staff belonging to [[Sir Aaron]], which contained his partner, {{OBP|Lucario|M08}}, until {{Ash}} released it in the current era. Special armor developed by [[Marcus]] was used to control Pokémon in ancient [[Michina Town]], though it did not directly ''contain'' the Pokémon; unlike other methods of using Pokémon, these Pokémon were enslaved, instead of befriended, and they turned against him the moment the armor was broken.
* {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} had a collection of strange Poké Balls known as (Japanese: '''ミュウツーボール''' ''Mewtwo Balls'') in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', which incorporated an eye into their design, and were used primarily to capture Pokémon to be cloned. These balls had no trouble catching Pokémon which were already captured—even if they were already inside of Poké Balls.
* In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', [[Molly Hale]], whose imagination caused the power of the {{OBP|Unown|M03}} to change the world around them, was able to use strange, crystalline Poké Balls when she challenged {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}. The Pokémon sent from these appeared normally, but dissolved into crystal, rather than being recalled. These crystal Poké Balls only appeared when used by her imagined older selves, and do not appear to actually exist.
* A special variant of Poké Ball, the Lake Ball, was used during the [[Seaking Catching Competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''; this is viewed by many to be similar to the Sport Ball used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball. They don't shake after capture, implying an automatic catch.
* In ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]'', specially marked Poké Balls appeared at the {{jo|Battle Park}}, containing the Park's [[rental Pokémon]]. They looked almost exactly like standard Poké Balls, except that they had the Park's stylized "BP" logo on the top.
* Older Poké Balls have also appeared in the anime, specifically the one carried by [[Sam]] in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', which was colored differently, and it had a knob that needed to be twisted before the Pokémon inside could be sent out. While it is unknown how these types were manufactured, it is likely that they were made by hand using Apricorns, prior to the standardization and mass production of modern-day Poké Balls.
* The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], an agent of [[Team Rocket]], used special [[Dark Ball]]s that corrupted Pokémon caught inside them and made them into mindless servants of the Trainer, as well as raising their power significantly. Multiple Pokémon were caught in these Poké Balls, including the {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} and a powerful {{p|Tyranitar}}. They seem capable of catching any Pokémon without fail.
* As in the games, the [[GS Ball]] appeared in the anime, and was the primary motivation for Ash's trip to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], where he would compete in his second Pokémon League. It also served as the catalyst for his journey to [[Johto]], as he needed to deliver the ball to [[Kurt]]. Former director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] revealed that a shelved storyline, that would have concluded the GS Ball's arc, involved a {{p|Celebi}} that would have traveled with Ash and his friends through at least part of Johto. The storyline was viewed as redundant after the decision was made to introduce Celebi in the fourth movie instead.
* ''[[AG104|Claydol, Big and Tall]]'' featured the "Stone Ball", a huge Poké Ball made of stone used to keep an evil, giant {{p|Claydol}} that levied destruction everywhere. This Poké Ball is about the size of a two-story house.
* In ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', an ancient relic resembling a Poké Ball was first mentioned by {{an|Brandon}}, who told Ash and his friends a story about the [[King of Pokélantis]], who had once tried to control {{p|Ho-Oh}} for his own evil purposes. When Ash later found the relic, it was revealed that the King of Pokélantis's spirit was actually sealed within it, and it possessed Ash until it was banished from his body and resealed back inside the relic.
* In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', a specially marked Poké Ball, called the "Fishing Poké Ball", was used in the fake fishing contest set up by {{TRT}}. This Poké Ball highly resembled the regular red and white Poké Ball, except that it had a dark fish mark on its red part.
* In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', the participants of the [[Pokémon Catch Race]] used special "Catch Race Poké Balls" to catch specifically marked Pokémon around [[Fula City]]. These Poké Balls feature a blue-and-white color scheme, with a gold button.
* In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', starting from ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', the Team Rocket trio was provided with the [[Rocket Prize Master]], a vending machine that lets them borrow random Pokémon from it, contained in special Team Rocket Poké Balls. When a Pokémon is sent out from them, these Balls drop a small leaflet explaining details about the Pokémon in question.
* Dynamaxed Poké Balls were first used in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'' during {{an|Lance}} and {{an|Leon}}'s [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}}. In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', [[Goh]], with Ash's help, used a Dynamaxed Poké Ball to catch a weakened {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, which was later sealed away.

===In the manga===
====The Electric Tale of Pikachu====
* In ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', a giant Poké Ball named the Enormo Poké Ball-X1 (Japanese: '''ビッグモンスターボールX1''' ''Big Monster Ball-X1'') or EPB-X1 for short, was created to capture the gigantic {{p|Haunter}}, [[Black Fog]]. It was destroyed when the Black Fog used {{m|Explosion}} to free itself after being captured.

====Pokémon Adventures====
* [[Bruno]] has modified his Poké Balls so that they are fitted onto the ends of his {{wp|Nunchaku|nunchucks}}. By swinging them quickly and throwing the nunchuck forward, Bruno can have his Pokémon quickly attack his opponent, giving him the advantage.
* [[Koga]] and his daughter [[Janine]] modified their Poké Balls into {{wp|shuriken}} to fit their ninja theme. In addition to being used as weapons, they can also be used to have their Pokémon pop up from different locations to surprise the opponent or to hold items to help an ally.
* [[Bugsy]] had [[Kurt]] modify his butterfly net into something he calls a Capture Net. His net has a Poké Ball nested into the middle of it. The bag of the net is made of the same material of the inside of a Poké Ball. Once a Pokémon is covered in the bag, they will automatically be sucked into the Poké Ball.
* [[Falkner]] has modified his Poké Balls into boomerangs using the feathers of his {{p|Skarmory}}. Because of Skarmory's feathers being transparent, they have the tendency to turn invisible, confusing enemies when Falkner throws them in random directions only for them to turn around and go straight for them.
* [[Erika]] and {{adv|Moon}} modified their Poké Balls to be at the end of their arrows.
* In ''[[PS283|It Takes Patience, Knowledge and a Really Quick Beedrill]]'', {{adv|Giovanni}} used a specifically designed Poké Ball with the letters "DNA" on its top half to capture {{adv|Deoxys}}.
* Multiple Dynamaxed Poké Balls have appeared in the {{chap|Sword & Shield}}, having been used to both capture Dynamax Pokémon and send them out.

===In the TCG===
* The {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}} is merely two Poké Balls together, and has a similar effect to using two plain Poké Ball cards, requiring two coin flips to search for up to two Basic Pokémon, depending on how many heads appear.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}} is [[Team Magma]]'s Poké Ball variant, found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It allows the user to search for a Team Magma's Pokémon, but if a coin flip results in tails, the search is limited to {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic}} Team Magma Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}} is [[Team Aqua]]'s Poké Ball variant, also found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works ''exactly'' the same as the Team Magma Ball, searching for Team Aqua's Pokémon instead.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}} is the [[Team Rocket]] variation on the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion. No coin flip is required, and it simply allows the player to search for a {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.
* The {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Team Plasma Ball|105}} is the [[Team Plasma]] variant of the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}} expansion. It allows the user to search for a Team Plasma Pokémon without a coin flip required.
* The {{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Magma's Great Ball|31}} is another Team Magma Poké Ball variant, found in the {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion. It searches the deck for a Basic Team Magma Pokémon and a basic {{e|Fighting}} energy.
* The {{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Aqua's Great Ball|27}} is another Team Aqua Poké Ball variant, also found in the {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion. It searches the deck for a Basic Team Aqua Pokémon and a basic {{e|Water}} energy instead.

==Item balls==
{{main|Item#Obtaining items|Item → Obtaining items}}
[[File:Itemball.png|thumb|left|220px|{{ga|Red}} finding an item ball on {{rt|2|Kanto}}]]
[[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.png|thumb|220px|Ash catching a [[rice ball]] thrown by a wild {{AP|Mankey|Primeape}}]]
In both the anime and games, it has been shown that [[item]]s can be contained in Poké Balls, apparently able to be captured in much the same way as a Pokémon. The anime has used this as a gag on several occasions, most notably in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', where {{Ash}} accidentally catches a rice ball when he throws a Poké Ball in an attempt to catch a wild Mankey.

Items contained in Poké Balls have been present from the very first games, with many items that are found on the field being found in Poké Balls in conspicuous locations. These items are sometimes important, and usually will be among the required items for pickup along the way. Sometimes, even Poké Ball variants can be found in item balls, though it may be that the item ball itself is supposed to represent the ball that is found. Many other items, however, are hidden, and are not in item balls, instead being directly on the field, and can be found more easily using an Itemfinder or [[Dowsing Machine]].

{{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Foongus}}, {{p|Amoonguss}}, and {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Stunfisk}} appear as item balls in the overworld, but attack when interacted with (or if at close range for Galarian Stunfisk), except the Foongus in [[Accumula Town]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], fake item balls appear upside down.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* {{an|Professor Oak}} has written {{wp|senryū}} about the Poké Ball in two of his lectures:
** For [[DP003]], the [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] featured this senryū: 「ゲットだぜ　なげかたいろいろ　モンスターボール」 ''"I caught a Pokémon! {{tt|Monster Balls|Poké Balls}} can be thrown in all sorts of ways."''
** For [[BW002]], the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]] featured this senryū: 「あっポケモン　モンスターボール　わすれずに」 ''"Oh, a Pokémon; don't forget to bring your {{tt|Monster Balls|Poké Balls}}."''
* In {{g|Pinball}}, the Poké Balls serve as the balls in the machine; they can be used to capture Pokémon and are upgraded depending on the multiplier bonus at the time.
* In some early artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Poké Balls are shown on the ground in two pieces while the Pokémon are in battle, rather than in the more familiar hinged form they take now. This may be a carryover from when Pokémon was known as Capsule Monsters, as the Poké Ball sprites in [[Generation I]] also do not show the button on the ball. In [[Generation II]], Poké Balls split in half when capturing a Pokémon as part of their animation, while the anime had been using the hinge style since the very first episode.
* Poké Balls are inspired by the capsules for {{wp|gashapon}} machines, which contain small, handheld toys.
* In Generation II, after catching a Pokémon, the Poké Ball's color palette changes to that of the Pokémon that was just caught. It then changes back to normal thereafter.
* Starting in [[Generation III]], all Poké Ball types have a special effect that appears whenever the ball is opened. These special effects also can be seen in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. In [[Generation IV]], customizable special effects are available through [[Seal]]s.
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[Cyrus]]'s computer indicates that a Poké Ball would limit the power of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. This leads to [[Team Galactic]] creating the [[Red Chain]] instead to shackle them so they can control their full power.
* [[Generation VI]] is the only generation to date to have not introduced a new type of Poké Ball in the games.

Lego3400: /* Types of Poké Balls */

{{Featured|May 9, 2007}}
{{search|type of item|the item called Poké Ball|Poké Ball (item)}}
----
[[File:Poké Balls GL.png|thumb|250px|The 27 Poké Ball variants found in the [[core series]]]]
[[File:Poké Ball sketch.png|thumb|250px|Original concept]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] that is critical to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest, used for {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} and storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Both a general term used to describe the various kinds as well as a specific term to refer to the most basic among these variations, Poké Balls are ubiquitous in the modern Pokémon world. Up to six Pokémon can be carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in Poké Balls, while more Poké Balls can be held in the [[Bag]] for later use. These six Pokémon in the Poké Balls can be attached to the user's belt for carrying them around. Some Pokémon do not like to be carried around in Poké Balls, such as [[Ash's Pikachu]].

The strength of a Poké Ball is determined by how much it raises a [[wild Pokémon]]'s [[catch rate]], and may in fact vary depending on the conditions of the battle. Poké Balls limit the power of Pokémon contained inside, taming them, though they do not cause the Pokémon inside to always obey the Trainer.

Stylized Poké Balls are used in many places to symbolize Pokémon in general: the logos of the [[Battle Frontier]]s, the [[Pokémon Contest]]s, the [[Pokéathlon]], and the [[Pokémon Musical]] all feature a Poké Ball in their design, while several Poké Balls can be seen in every Pokémon Center. The headgear of the protagonists of [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]-based games feature Poké Ball designs, as do the [[Bag]]s of the protagonists of [[Johto]]-based games. {{ga|Ethan}}'s headgear is also similar to the top half of an Ultra Ball, and {{ga|Lucas}}'s Bag prominently features a Poké Ball.

==History==
{{main|History of Poké Balls}}
The invention of Poké Balls occurred in the [[Johto]] region, where [[Apricorn]]s grow; these fruit were cut apart and carved out, then fitted with a special device, and used to catch wild Pokémon prior to the mass production of the Balls that occurs in modern times under [[Silph Co.]], the [[Devon Corporation]], and the Kalos [[Poké Ball Factory]]. Some Trainers still use Poké Balls made from Apricorns, while [[Kurt]], a resident of [[Azalea Town]], still constructs them. In the games, in the [[Memory Link]] event {{DL|Memory Link|A New Light}}, [[Drayden]] claims that Poké Balls did not exist during his childhood. In the anime, in ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'', Poké Balls are found in the [[ghost ship]], implying that Poké Balls were first made at least 300 years ago. According to the [[Encyclopedia Pokemonica]] and a [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] site describing the [[Pokémon world]], modern Poké Balls were developed in 1925 from the research of [[Professor Westwood V|Professor Westwood]] of [[Celadon University]].

According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Poké Balls were developed to allow for various trainers to efficiently capture and train Pokémon in relatively little risk to themselves, as the act of training a Pokémon often results in severe injuries and even death. It also claims that the Pokémon {{p|Primeape}} and its notoriously violent nature was directly responsible for their creation.

Prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as magical creatures (Japanese: {{tt|魔獣|まじゅう}} ''majū''), indicating that the name Pokémon, short for Pocket Monster, did not come into common parlance as a term until Poké Balls allowed the various magical creatures to be stored easily.

==Mechanics and design==
[[File:Anime Poke Ball Mechanics.jpg|thumb|220px|A schematic displaying Poké Ball size, storage, and mechanics]]
Though the technology behind a Poké Ball remains unknown and has evolved through the centuries to accommodate the diverse requirements of their creators, the basic mechanics are simple enough to understand and tend to remain constant: in a [[Pokémon battle]], once an opposing wild Pokémon has been weakened, the Pokémon Trainer can throw a Poké Ball at it. When a Poké Ball hits the Pokémon, as long as it is not deflected, the Poké Ball will open, convert the Pokémon to a form of energy, pull it into its center, and close. A Pokémon in this state is given a chance to struggle to attempt to break free from the ball and escape, being instantly re-converted from energy into matter. Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device will either be destroyed (in the games and some manga) or will return to the Trainer (anime), who can attempt once again to catch the Pokémon. A Pokémon who does not escape the Ball will be {{pkmn2|caught}}.

Poké Balls are specifically constructed for Pokémon capture, transport, and training. As well as being physically difficult to escape from (as they seal tightly shut as soon as a Pokémon is taken into them) the environment of a Poké Ball is designed to be attractive to Pokémon also; according to Lucian of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], weakened Pokémon instinctively curl up tight in an attempt to heal themselves, an action that the environment of the Poké Ball encourages. Furthermore, while it is not known how caught Pokémon perceives their time inside their Ball, the device is said to replicate a "Pokémon-friendly" environment that is "designed for comfort". All of these factors strongly discourage Pokémon from escaping their Balls. In the manga, Bugsy refers to his "capture net" as being the net that is supposedly inside a Poké Ball, but visible and already deployed. According to Kurt, this invisible net captures and physically stores a Pokémon.

[[File:Poke Ball Interior.png|thumb|left|220px|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime]]
Poké Balls are not always at full size. Pressing the button on the front will convert it between its full size, about the size of a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a smaller size, about that of a {{wp|Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball}}, and back again. The larger size makes throwing the ball easier, while the smaller one makes for easier storage on a belt clip, in pockets, and in Bags.

As mentioned, the generic Poké Ball design is not constant and has been remodeled and altered innumerable times in order to create new Poké Balls that are adapted for specific conditions. For example, it is seen in several anime episodes such as ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' that normal Poké Balls have difficulty catching Pokémon which are extremely large or extremely heavy. In the latter episode, it is revealed that ancient civilizations overcame this issue by constructing immense Poké Balls many times the size of the standard model known today, and made from stone instead. Other civilizations such as [[Pokémopolis]] also discovered new technologies that more closely resembled modern Poké Ball technology, such as the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Dark Device]] and the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Unearthly Urn]], which were also adapted for the capture and storage of massive Pokémon but in small containers. However, devices like these became lost to the ages and their roles were subsequently supplanted by Heavy Balls in the modern world.

[[File:Paul Chimchar release.png|thumb|220px|[[Paul]] releasing {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}]]
When a Pokémon is sent out from a Poké Ball, it will be accompanied by a distinctive sound effect and a bright light as it returns from its energy form and materialize nearby, often on the ground. This bright light has been shown to vary depending on the type of Ball in which the Pokémon is contained in the games, while it has always been shown to be white in the anime. Pokémon are recalled to their Poké Ball by holding up the Poké Ball with its button pointed at the Pokémon. A beam of red, white, or blue light will shoot from the button, converting the Pokémon back into energy and returning it to the Ball. The beam, however, has a limited range and can be dodged by the Pokémon. If the beam hits a person, they will be stunned for a moment, but aside from that, no ill effects will make themselves apparent.

[[Released Pokémon|Releasing]] a Pokémon from a Trainer's ownership, unlike normally sending the Pokémon out, will bathe the Pokémon in a blue glow, and the Poké Ball will no longer mark it, making it able to be caught by another Trainer's Poké Ball.

A Poké Ball can also be broken, which will release it from ownership, as seen when Jessie releases her Dustox in ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]''. If a Trainer has done so accidentally, it must somehow be fixed before the Pokémon can be recalled. This was seen in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'', where Ash becomes unable to recall Snorlax after its Poké Ball is broken. In the manga, if a Poké Ball is broken before a Pokémon is sent out, then that particular Pokémon cannot be used until their Poké Ball has been repaired. This happened several times in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, such as during {{adv|Red}}'s battle against {{adv|Giovanni}}, where the opening mechanism for the Poké Balls of Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] and [[Gyara]]dos were damaged, preventing either of them from being used in the match.

Pokémon appear to be conscious while inside Poké Balls. Several Pokémon have shown the ability to leave and return to their Poké Balls at will, most notably among them [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Misty's Psyduck]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], [[Brock's Croagunk]], and [[Clemont's Chespin]], who tend to do so in every episode that they appear in. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', many Pokémon belonging to [[Gary Oak]], as well as other Trainers, including Ash Ketchum, demonstrated the ability to prevent themselves from being sent from their Poké Balls, as they refused to fight against the Diglett, though this has not been demonstrated since. Pokémon have also shown to be able to hear orders given by their Trainer right before they are sent out.

Pokémon can even make their Poké Ball jump and roll around at high speeds, while also being able to navigate, as seen in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], when the {{ga|partner Pokémon}} moves its Poké Ball onto an empty pedestal in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] after being caught in [[Pallet Town]].

[[File:Iris Dragonite inside Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Iris's Dragonite]] inside a Poké Ball in the anime]]
Poké Balls are able to communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], as the system updates itself with information on newly-caught Pokémon, and keeps track of how many Pokémon the Trainer has with them. If a Trainer catches a new Pokémon with the full six already with them, the Pokédex will automatically send the newly-caught Pokémon in its Poké Ball to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] that the Trainer is using. As shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', a Pokémon caught by a Poké Ball is "marked" by it, and thus most Poké Balls thrown at it will have no effect aside from temporarily stunning it. In the games, as well as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', however, the Trainer of the Pokémon will block a Poké Ball thrown by another, though it is possible that this is more out of courtesy to their Pokémon than to prevent capture outright. In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash was able to catch his {{AP|Charmander}} in a Poké Ball despite his previous ownership by [[Damian|another Trainer]], though it may have lost its "mark" when it abandoned its previous Trainer by refusing to return to its old Poké Ball. Earlier in the same episode, Ash failed to catch the same Charmander while it still held its loyalty, despite its weak condition.

Other wireless capabilities of Poké Balls are shown in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', as when the electricity of the city is down, {{OBP|Rebecca|M07}} claims that the "Poké Ball Management System" was no longer working without power. There has been no mention of any such system since.

Poké Balls are able to be decorated to no ill effect, with several Poké Balls that have been painted with special colors being seen in the anime. Additionally, a [[Ball Capsule]] can be used in combination with [[Seal]]s to create special effects when the Pokémon is sent out.
{{-}}

==Poké Ball accuracy==
In some scenarios, a Poké Ball can miss the wild Pokémon completely (in contrast to breaking if the Poké Ball does not successfully capture the Pokémon):
* In the [[Generation I]] games, it was possible for a ball to miss the Pokémon when the likelihood of catching the Pokémon in question was particularly low—rather than the ball throwing animation playing and the ball wiggling zero times, a message would come up stating "You missed the <sc>Pokémon</sc>!".
* In the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{OBP|ghost|literal}}s in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]] dodge any ball thrown at them before being unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]. The [[Marowak (ghost)|Marowak ghost]] will dodge all Poké Balls even if it is unmasked.

In other scenarios, it is simply not possible to use Poké Balls in the first place:
* In the Generation I and II core series games, if both the player's party and their current [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] are full, the player cannot throw a Poké Ball.
* In the [[core series]] games, in {{pkmn2|wild}} battles the player cannot throw a Poké Ball if there are multiple opponents—such as in wild [[Double Battle]]s, [[Horde Encounter]]s, or [[SOS Battle]]s—with the game claiming that it's impossible to aim.
** In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, it is possible to snag a [[Shadow Pokémon]] even if there are two on the opposing side of the field.
* From {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onward, it is not possible to throw a Poké Ball if the opposing Pokémon is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable state}} of a move (such as {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}).
* Starting in [[Generation V]], in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s, it is not possible to issue a command to one Pokémon and then throw a Poké Ball as the second Pokémon's turn. However, it is still possible to throw a Poké Ball if one Pokémon is in the middle of a two-turn move.
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, [[Ghetsis]] uses his cane to control a wild {{p|Kyurem}} and orders it to attack the {{player}}. The cane also emits signals that disrupt the use of empty Poké Balls, preventing Kyurem from being captured during the climax.
* In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, the player is forbidden from throwing Poké Balls at wild Pokémon in a [[Island challenge|trial]] site until the trial has been cleared.
* In Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, a signal that prevents the use of empty Poké Balls is broadcast throughout [[Aether Paradise]] to protect the Pokémon living there. This prevents the player from capturing the wild {{p|Nihilego}} that attacks them on their first visit to the facility.
* In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player cannot use a Poké Ball on a {{p|Necrozma}} that has [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|fused]] with a {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}}.

===Capture chances===
{{main|Catch rate}}

==Types of Poké Balls==
In the Pokémon games so far, there have been 27 different varieties of Poké Balls, all differing from each other in some effect, whether it be an increased ability to catch a Pokémon from the wild or an effect which occurs only after the Pokémon has been caught. From Generation III onward, each variety of the Poké Ball has a unique animation when they open to draw in a Pokémon and when a Pokémon is sent out, and the type of Poké Ball used to catch the Pokémon is preserved on its status screen.

Prior to Generation VI, all hatched Pokémon are in a standard Poké Ball. In [[Generation VI]], a [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon will be in the same Poké Ball as its mother, unless its mother was in a Cherish Ball or Master Ball, in which case the Pokémon will be in a Poké Ball; Pokémon bred from a male or genderless Pokémon and {{p|Ditto}} will hatch in a standard Poké Ball. In [[Generation VII]], Pokémon bred from a male and a Ditto will inherit the father's ball as well, and if two Pokémon of the same species in different balls are bred, the resulting offspring will be in either the mother's or father's ball.

==In other games==
===Pokémon GO===
Using Poké Balls in [[Pokémon GO]] is a more detailed process than in most other games. The primary factor is the player's aim, rather than battling. The player must press their finger on the Ball, move it, and release it in order to throw the Ball. The Ball and Pokémon exist in a 3D environment, so the player may miss the Pokémon by throwing the Ball the wrong distance or too far to the side. Additionally, the wild Pokémon may attempt to dodge or attack every few seconds. When a Pokémon attacks, it temporarily becomes invulnerable to Poké Balls, and any Balls that hit it will be deflected. When a Pokémon dodges, it will move around but can still be hit by a thrown Ball.

:''See more: [[Caught Pokémon#Pokémon GO|Caught Pokémon → Pokémon GO]]

The player's throwing technique can improve the chances of catching a Pokémon in two ways. One is aiming for the shrinking colored circle over the Pokémon. If the player's throw lands inside this circle, they will get a "Nice!", "Great!", or "Excellent!" throw bonus depending on how small the circle was. When the circle shrinks to nothing, it resets to its widest and continues to shrink again. The other factor is throwing a curveball. If the player spins the Ball while holding it, it will temporarily retain the spin and curve left or right when thrown.

:''See more: [[Catch rate (GO)]]

Three types of Poké Balls are primarily available in Pokémon GO: regular Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls. They can be repeatably obtained in the game by
* Spinning [[PokéStop]]s or {{OBP|Gym|GO}}s (Lv. 12+ for Great Balls and Lv. 20+ for Ultra Balls)
* Opening a [[Gift]] (Lv. 12+ for Great Balls and Lv. 20+ for Ultra Balls)
* Completing certain [[Field Research]] or [[Special Research]] tasks
* Weekly [[Adventure Sync]] rewards

The player also receives Poké Balls upon [[Trainer level|leveling up]].
* Poké Balls awarded up to level 11 (including 50 Poké Balls starting at level 1)
* Great Balls awarded from level 12 to level 19
* Ultra Balls awarded starting level 20

Regular Poké Balls may be purchased in the Shop at the following rates:
* 20 for {{PCoin}}100
* 100 for {{PCoin}}460
* 200 for {{PCoin}}800

All three types of balls have also been available in limited-time Box deals.

Premier Balls are also available in Pokémon GO exclusively for catching [[Raid Battle|Raid Bosses]] and [[Shadow Pokémon (GO)|Shadow Pokémon]] ; These Pokémon can only be caught with Premier Balls, and if the player runs out, the Raid Boss or Shadow Pokémon will flee. The number of Premier Balls are awarded to the player after a Raid Battle or Team GO Rocket Grunt battle is based on how well they battled. Unused Premier Balls are not retained and do not roll over to future Raid Battles or Team GO Rocket Grunt Battles. Like in the main series, Premier Balls are just as effective as regular Poké Balls.

Master Balls are also coded into Pokémon GO, but they have not yet been made available.

===In the Pokémon Pinball series===
In [[Pokémon Pinball]] and [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], the [[Poké Ball (item)|Poké Ball]], [[Great Ball]], [[Ultra Ball]], and [[Master Ball]] are available.

The Poké Ball is the normal ball used in the pinball tables since the beginning of the game. In both games, if the player lights up the three Field Multiplier Lanes found in all tables, the ball is upgraded to the next kind of Poké Ball (a Poké Ball is upgraded into a Great Ball, a Great Ball into an Ultra Ball, and an Ultra Ball into a Master Ball). If a minute passes without new Poké Ball upgrades, the ball returns to the previous state. If the player loses a ball, the next ball is a Poké Ball.

====Bonus points====
* The [[Poké Ball (item)|Poké Ball]] has no bonus multiplier.
* The [[Great Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×2.
* The [[Ultra Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×3.
* The [[Master Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×4 in [[Pokémon Pinball]] and by ×5 in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]].

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Ashball.png|thumb|250px|{{Ash}} pulling out a Poké Ball, preparing to catch a Pokémon]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the basic Poké Ball is the most commonly used of all varieties, with other varieties appearing either very few times or not at all. A vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variation among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the anime which spends all its time [[walking Pokémon|outside with Ash]], has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.

Despite this, the various other types of Poké Ball have been seen in the anime, usually to illustrate a special property about that particular ball. The lack of the different types is unsurprising, however, due to the fact that, when the anime was first created, the games themselves did not even keep track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was caught in, and thus, it made no difference in sending a Pokémon out. This has recently become less common as of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', possibly to reflect the fact that NPC Trainers in [[Generation VII]] have certain types of Poké Balls associated with them.

The first time that a Poké Ball aside from the normal variation was seen was in [[EP035]], where Ash was given 30 Safari Balls in order to compete in the Safari Game. With these 30 Safari Balls, Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon; however, he only managed to capture an entire herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; however, whenever Ash uses one of his Tauros in a battle, it is sent out from a standard Poké Ball.

[[File:Poké Ball success.png|thumb|250px|left|A Poké Ball after catching a Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
The [[GS Ball]] was the second of the variant Poké Balls to [[EP083|appear in the anime]], this time with a special purpose. This mysterious ball was unable to be opened by [[Professor Ivy]], and served as the reason for Ash's journeys to the [[Orange Archipelago]] (to pick it up) and [[Johto]] (to deliver it to [[Kurt]]), so that what was contained within it could be discovered. {{p|Celebi}} was long rumored to be related to the ball, something which the [[Pokémon Adventures]] and game canons verify, while [[Masamitsu Hidaka|a director of the anime]] confirmed that, had it not been insisted that {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} appear in a central role in [[M04|the fourth movie]], the GS Ball arc would have concluded with Celebi being released from the ball and traveling with Ash and his friends.

Also related to Kurt, as in the games, the first non-standard Poké Ball variants, the [[Apricorn]] balls, made an appearance in the anime, and several were given to the members of the main cast. All three members of the main cast received a Fast Ball each in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', with {{an|Brock}} using his to catch a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} shortly after receiving it. Many other Apricorn Poké Balls also appeared in a fantasy in this episode. In the [[EP144|next episode]], Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and {{an|Misty}} received a Lure Ball each. While Brock's Heavy Ball and Ash and Misty's Fast Balls would remain unused (and have not been mentioned since), both Ash and Misty would use their Lure Balls to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, respectively. Another Heavy Ball appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down]]'', where it was used to capture a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Gulpin}}, though this was not the one belonging to Brock. In ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', the {{DL|Kimono Girl|In the anime|Kimono Sisters}} (excluding [[Sakura]]) were shown keeping their [[Eeveelution]]s inside Apricorn Poké Balls, with Satsuki's {{p|Jolteon}}'s ball being a Moon Ball, Sumomo's {{p|Vaporeon}}'s ball being a Lure Ball, and Tamao's {{p|Umbreon}}'s ball being a Fast Ball. While Koume's {{p|Flareon}}'s ball wasn't shown, her kimono pattern indicates it being a Love Ball.
[[File:Ash Poké Ball.png|thumb|250px|Ash calling out a Pokémon]]
The Master Ball itself has only appeared once as an actual Poké Ball, in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', where it was used by [[Sullivan]] in a last resort attempt to catch a wild {{p|Whiscash}} called "[[Nero]]". Despite the fact that a Master Ball cannot be escaped from, the Whiscash ''swallowed'' the Master Ball, thus preventing capture, and disappeared back into the water. While not a Poké Ball itself, Misty owns a beach ball that is designed like the Master Ball, which can be seen in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.

The Generation III specialty balls have mostly been seen in cameos. The Repeat Ball and Luxury Ball appeared in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These balls contained {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Aggron}}, respectively.

The debut of most of the specialty balls, both from Generation III and IV, came in the ending [[Which One ~ Is It?]], which contained the first appearance of the Great Ball and Ultra Ball, as well as the first anime appearance of the Premier, Heal, Net, Dusk, Nest, Quick, Timer, and Dive Balls.

The first proper appearance of the Great, Ultra, Net, Nest, Dusk, Dive, Repeat, Premier, and Heal Balls was in ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', where these balls were seen being manufactured at the [[Poké Ball Factory]], in addition to normal Poké Balls, Luxury Balls, and Safari Balls, although the last ones were not shown. Although [[James]] did mention a Quick Ball in the Japanese version, one was never shown in the episode (a fact that was picked up by the [[dub]], which removed the Quick Ball reference). {{TRT}} tried to steal many of these Poké Balls, but were foiled by Ash and his friends.

[[File:Dawn Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|250px|{{an|Dawn}}'s Poké Balls with Ball Capsules and Seals]]
It was revealed in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'' that James had been collecting Poké Balls. When Jessie's attempts to catch a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} with typical Poké Balls had failed, she grabbed the Luxury Ball James had been polishing and used it instead, capturing Mimikyu, much to James's dismay. The rest of James's collection appeared in ''[[SM062|Acting True to Form!]]'', where it was revealed to also contain a Great, Ultra, Premier, Dusk, Heal, and Quick Ball, marking the first proper anime appearance of a Quick Ball. The collection reappeared in [[JN026]], where it now consists of a Premier, Dive, Nest, Quick, Heal, and Dusk Ball.

{{an|Gladion}} keeps all of his known Pokémon in special Poké Balls. His {{TP|Gladion|Lycanroc}} is kept in an Ultra Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}} is kept in a Premier Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Umbreon}} is kept in a Heal Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]''), and his {{p|Zoroark}} is kept in a Dusk Ball (as first seen in the [[Poké Problem]] extra scene of [[SM127]]).

[[File:James Poké Ball collection.png|thumb|250px|James's Poké Ball collection]]
Beast Balls debuted in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', in which the [[Aether Foundation]] provided multiple of them for Ash and {{ashcl}} to use during their missions as [[Ultra Guardians]]. Since then, Beast Balls have appeared in {{cat|Ultra Guardians episodes|a number of episodes}}.

Many other Poké Balls have been shown in the anime; however, most of these are cosmetic alterations alone, such as Poké Balls with gold plating, diamond studded Poké Balls, and Poké Balls with stickers or special designs on them, usually to denote an organization. [[Ball Capsule]]s and [[Seal]]s can also be used to customize a Poké Ball's appearance, and they add special effects when the Pokémon is sent out. In the anime, they are mostly used by {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s during [[Pokémon Contest]]s to create a showy entrance and ensure that the Pokémon will make a good impression right out of the Poké Ball.

Notably, a broken Poké Ball, snapped in half at its rusted hinges, was kept by both Ash and {{Gary}}, symbolizing their rivalry. After Ash defeated Gary during the [[Silver Conference]], Gary gave his half of the Ball to Ash as a sign of ending their rivalry.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', it was shown that if a Trainer catches a Pokémon while they already have six on hand, it is automatically sent to the regional {{pkmn|Professor}}. ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest]]'' shows a major difference in what happens after a Pokémon is captured. Instead of being automatically sent to the regional Professor, the Poké Ball is sealed and the button becomes red. The Pokémon is kept inactive until it is switched out by another actively in the Trainer's party.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Poké Ball PO.png|thumb|250px|A Poké Ball in Pokémon Origins]]
Besides the regular Poké Ball, the other Generation I variations of it were also seen during the [[Pokémon Origins]] miniseries. In ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', it was shown that [[Giovanni]] kept his strongest Pokémon, {{p|Rhyhorn}} and {{p|Rhydon}}, within Ultra Balls. In ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', {{OBP|Red|Origins}} was seen catching an {{p|Arbok}} with a Great Ball and a {{p|Chansey}} with a Safari Ball. He also used Ultra Balls to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}.

The Master Ball only appeared in a demonstration in ''File 3: Giovanni'', as it was still under development at the time. After [[Team Rocket]] was driven out of the [[Silph Co.]] building by Red, the development of the Master Ball was put on hold for a while.

Additionally, in Pokémon Origins, the sound effects and bright light used when a Trainer is catching, sending out, or recalling a Pokémon differ in comparison to the sound effects and lights that are used in the main Pokémon anime, more resembling the effects seen in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

===In Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Ultra Ball PG.png|thumb|250px|An Ultra Ball in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
The only Poké Ball variant seen in [[Pokémon Generations]] was an Ultra Ball, which appeared in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]''. It was shown being used by {{player|a Trainer}} to catch a {{p|Deoxys}} in outer space.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|200px|A Poké Ball in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
In the various [[Pokémon manga]], Poké Balls have been shown to appear differently, as an attempt to explain how a Trainer knows which Pokémon is in which ball, as most Pokémon manga series were, like the anime, developed at a time when the games could not keep track of the ball a Pokémon was contained in.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
In the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], the rules are more similar to the anime; however, Poké Balls are numbered on the outside, on the button, so that a Trainer knows which member of their team they are sending into battle. In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Trainers must obtain a license before they are legally allowed to purchase Poké Balls.

It is also possible for a Pokémon to be placed inside a Poké Ball without it being owned by a Trainer. In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', [[Meowzie]] steals a Poké Ball from a shop and puts her kitten in it so that it will not be hurt by a flood affecting the city.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the main characters generally do not capture Pokémon, rather, they befriend them. Although [[Almond]], one of the main characters, is known to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is not actually depicted capturing or raising any Pokémon. In fact, in the bonus materials of {{Vol|Magical Pokémon Journey|2}}, in which the cast of the manga meet {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in a series of crossovers, it is revealed that [[Hazel]] and [[Coconut]] do not even know what Poké Balls are. When Ash and Misty explain that they are used to capture Pokémon, they both proceed to attempt to use them to capture Almond, as he is each of their love interest.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Yellow Seadra Poké Ball.png|thumb|200px|{{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}} inside his Poké Ball in Pokémon Adventures]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the tops of Poké Balls are semitransparent, allowing the Pokémon inside, which is miniaturized, to be seen through the ball, while the Pokémon can likewise see out of the ball it is contained in. In this manga, unlike in the anime, Pokémon already captured can be recaught in another Poké Ball, as is seen when {{adv|Red}} recatches [[Gyara|Misty's Gyarados]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' (though {{adv|Blue}} states that catching a Pokémon that belongs to another is not possible in ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]'').

Like in the anime and the games, specialty balls do exist, although they are much more commonly used than in the anime. In ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'', [[Team Rocket]] was shown to have caught the {{adv|Legendary birds}} in Ultra Balls. In ''[[PS035|And Mewtwo... Three!]]'', [[Blaine]] gave Red the [[Master Ball]], which Red used to catch {{adv|Mewtwo}} shortly afterwards. In ''[[PS101|Teddiursa's Picnic]]'', {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively, with Silver using his ball to catch an {{TP|Silver|Ursaring}}, while Gold used his to catch a {{p|Teddiursa}} for [[Maizie]]. Close to the end of the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, the [[Masked Man]] was shown creating a [[GS Ball]] and using it to catch {{adv|Celebi}}. In ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]'', {{adv|Blake}} used Luxury Balls while trying to catch the {{p|Genesect}} controlled by [[Colress]], eventually succeeding. In ''[[PAXY28|Scizor Defends]]'', a Quick Ball was seen amongst the Poké Balls that {{adv|Y}} had used while trying to catch an {{p|Absol}}. Safari Balls have been seen being used by Red at the {{safari|Kanto|Kanto Safari Zone}}, by {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} at the [[Great Marsh]], and by Silver at the {{safari|Johto|Johto Safari Zone}}. {{adv|Crystal}} and {{adv|Emerald}} have also been shown using special balls to catch Pokémon, with Crystal specializing in [[Apricorn]] balls and Emerald specializing in Poké Balls introduced in [[Generation III]]. Additionally, the three original types of Poké Ball are used to identify the Trainer's rank; most Trainers keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, [[Gym Leader]]s use Great Balls, and [[Elite Four]] members and [[Frontier Brain]]s use Ultra Balls.

In the {{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}, Beast Balls were created for the [[Aether Foundation]] by Colress as a means of catching [[Ultra Beast]]s.

Like in the games, but unlike the anime, Pokémon placed in their balls don't recover from [[status condition]]s nor regain lost health, no matter how much time passes.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
Besides regular Poké Balls, Apricorn Poké Balls also received notable attention in the [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]] manga. They were first featured in ''[[GB07|The Great Search! Let's Rescue The Slowpoke!]]'', where {{GnB|Gold}} and [[Kurt]] used some of Kurt's hand-made Poké Balls to save a group of {{p|Slowpoke}} from drowning in the flooding [[Slowpoke Well]]. Kurt's Level Ball also proved crucial in stopping the [[Black Tyranitar]]'s rampage during the manga's climax.

===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga===
[[File:Poké Ball PM.png|thumb|200px|A Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
In [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]], Poké Balls are depicted as solid, with no visual identification as to which Poké Ball is which. In ''[[GDZ15|Special Chapter - Get Pikachu!]]'', it is revealed that when [[Shu]] met {{TP|Shu|Pikachu}}, Pikachu's Poké Ball had been abandoned in a forest because it was defective and it was causing Pikachu's electricity to be released throughout the surrounding area.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], Poké Balls are often shown as transparent to identify when a Pokémon is inside. They usually have their typical appearance from far away, suggesting that they may not always be transparent, or are only see-through from up close. Pokémon appear to be able to see the world outside of their Poké Balls, as shown in ''[[PM003|Bring Down the Powerful Opponent Onix!!]]'', when {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} sees {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|Pocket Monsters|Pikachu}} inside his Poké Ball, and they talk to each other. In ''[[PM001|Introducing the Pokémon Clefairy!!]]'', when {{PPM|Green}} is choosing Charmander as his [[starter Pokémon]], he is shown to be able to pick up and lift Charmander directly from the Poké Ball without throwing it first.

==In the TCG==
[[File:Rocket Sneak Attack artwork.png|thumb|Ultra Ball]]
Several variants of Poké Ball have been released in card form in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], ranging from the standard variants found in the games and other media to variants specific to the TCG.

* The standard {{TCG ID|Jungle|Poké Ball|64}} card, which was the first released, debuted in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion and has since been featured in many others. It features a TCG-centric mechanic, requiring a {{TCG|coin}} flip to search the deck for a {{TCG|Pokémon}} to be put in the hand. Most of the Poké Ball variants, both adapted from the games and exclusive to the TCG, are similar to this, with several requiring coin flips to use their effect.
* The Ultra Ball can be seen in the artwork of {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rocket's Sneak Attack|16}}, from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion. The 'H' on this Ultra Ball is derived from its Japanese name, ''Hyper Ball''. The {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Ultra Ball|102}} itself would appear in {{TCG|Dark Explorers}}, with its effect requiring the player to discard 2 cards from the hand to search the deck for a Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, which first appeared in the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|TCG expansion}} coinciding with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}} of the [[Generation I]] games, is somewhat of an upgrade to the Poké Ball, and does not require the coin flip that the Poké Ball does, instead restricting the search to Basic Pokémon. Later, in {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Great Ball|93}}'s effect was changed to have the player search the top 7 cards of the deck for any one Pokémon card and put it in the hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Master Ball|116}}, first appearing in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion, and in the games the most powerful of the Poké Balls, provides a vastly different effect than the standard. Rather than searching the entire deck, only the top seven cards may be searched. One {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in these seven can be put into the hand, while the rest must be shuffled back into the deck. In {{TCG|Plasma Blast}}, the {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Master Ball|94}} was changed to an [[Ace Spec]] that allowed the player to search the entire deck for any one Pokémon.
* Debuting in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Lure Ball|128}} is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the {{TCG|discard pile}} rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an {{TCG|Evolution card}} can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has since been reprinted in {{TCG|Celestial Storm}}.
* Also debuting in Skyridge, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Friend Ball|126}}, another [[Apricorn]] Ball, has a unique effect entirely, allowing the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same {{TCG|type}} as one of the opponent's Pokémon, making it effective in decks that typically match up well against their own type. It was also reprinted in Celestial Storm.
* The {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Fast Ball|124}} allows the player to go through their deck, turning over cards one at a time until they find the first evolution card, and then taking that into their hand, shuffling afterward. Like the other two Apricorn Balls, it debuted in Skyridge, but unlike the others, it has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Premier Ball|101}}, debuting in the {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, is special, much as in the games, and allows the player to search either the deck ''or'' the discard pile for a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} to put into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Luxury Ball|86}}, first found in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, is among the rarest of the Poké Ball varieties in the games, though its catch rate is the same as that of a normal Poké Ball. Likewise it is so with the TCG, allowing a non-{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|LV.X}} Pokémon to be searched from the deck, but only if another Luxury Ball card is not in the discard pile.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} released in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion has a similar effect to the Fast Ball released in Skyridge, allowing the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. An expansion of the Fast Ball's use, any Pokémon can be found, though this may prove an issue if the player is looking for an Evolution card specifically and finds a Basic Pokémon first, and vice versa.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Dusk Ball|110}}, also first found in Mysterious Treasures, features an effect somewhat opposite from the Master Ball's: Instead of the top seven cards being searched, only the bottom seven cards may be, and a Pokémon found there may be put into the player's hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Heavy Ball|88}}, first found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows the player to search through their deck for a Pokémon who has a retreat cost of 3 or more and put it in their hand, whereas the {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Level Ball|89}}, also found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows them to do the same with a Pokémon that has 90 HP or less.
* The {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Repeat Ball|136}}, found only in {{TCG|Primal Clash}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon with the same name as one of their Pokémon in play.
* The {{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Net Ball|187}}, first found in {{TCG|Lost Thunder}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Basic {{e|Grass}} Pokémon or a {{e|Grass}} Energy card and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Beast Ball|125}}, first found in {{TCG|Celestial Storm}}, allows the player to look at their Prize Cards, and swap an [[Ultra Beast]] found there with the Beast Ball card.
* The {{TCG ID|Unified Minds|Cherish Ball|191}}, first found in {{TCG|Unified Minds}}, allows the player to search their deck for any {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} and put it into their hand.

==In the Super Smash Bros. series==
[[File:Poké Ball SSBB.png|thumb|right|Render of a Poké Ball from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
{{smashWiki|Poké Ball}}
In the {{sbw|Super Smash Bros. series}}, Poké Balls mainly appear as items which a character can pick up and throw to release a random Pokémon. Most Pokémon will perform a direct attack against the characters on the stage, but some may have other effects. Like many other items, the Poké Balls also do damage simply by hitting other characters. The fourth game in the series also introduced a Master Ball variant on the Poké Ball, which essentially functions the same as a Poké Ball except that it usually contains a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]].

The Pokémon that can appear from Poké Balls differ between the games. The {{DL|Super Smash Bros.|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros.]] all come from Generation I, the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Melee|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] come from up to Generation II, the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] come from up to Generation IV, the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] come from up to Generation VI, and the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] come from up to Generation VII. The only Pokémon that have appeared in all {{tt|5|counting the 3DS and Wii U versions as one}} games as Poké Ball Pokémon are {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and {{p|Mew}}.

The Poké Ball also features in a couple of other ways in the Super Smash Bros. series. In Brawl, in [[The Subspace Emissary]], {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}} is shown to push the button on the Poké Ball to send out his Pokémon, a mechanic that has not been shown in the anime. A Poké Ball logo is also used to represent the Pokémon games in the Super Smash Bros. series. In the third and fourth games, this logo is updated to match Generation IV's redesigned icon.

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

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] Trophy information===
''"An item used for capturing Pokémon and calling them out into battle. Pokémon live in these items which despite appearances, actually contain a wide, comfortable Pokémon-friendly world inside them. In Super Smash Bros., Pokémon give temporary support to who calls them out. You never know which you will get, but some are devastatingly powerful."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] Trophy information===
====Poké Ball====
[[File:Poké Ball SSB4.png|thumb|240px|The Poké Ball in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
'''NA''': ''An item used to call out different Pokémon. Which Pokémon emerges is a mystery, but it will aid whoever threw the Poké Ball. Some of the Pokémon contained inside are extremely powerful and will really intensify the battle. It's definitely worth beating your opponents to these!''

'''PAL''': ''A ball holding one of any number of Pokémon just waiting to burst out and help you in battle. Which kind will it be? Well, that's a surprise, but whichever one it is, it'll definitely up the intensity of the battle! If you see one, make sure you're the one to grab it!''
{{-}}

====Master Ball====
[[File:Master Ball SSB4.png|thumb|240px|The Master Ball in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
'''NA''': ''These valuable, powerful balls can capture any wild Pokémon. In Smash Bros., hard-to-find Pokémon often pop out of them. You can easily identify a Master Ball by the distinct purple appearance and large M on the top. A Pokémon within a Master Ball may turn the tide of battle.''

'''PAL''': ''A rare type of Poké Ball that never fails to catch a Pokémon. Throw one in this game, and the Mythical or Legendary Pokémon inside will come to your aid. Master Balls are easy to identify due to their purple colour and the large M on them. Use one to quickly turn the tide of any battle!''
{{-}}

==Other variants==
The following Poké Ball variants are found outside of the standard games. They are often very unusual compared to the 27 types found in the games, and it is sometimes questionable whether or not they even qualify as Poké Balls. Many have separate articles, where their unique properties are described in greater detail.

===In the games===
* [[Pester Ball]]s: These objects, which appear similar to Poké Balls at a glance, are not used to catch Pokémon, and instead will release a Pokémon repellent on contact. They are only found in {{g|Snap}}.
* The [[GS Ball]] is an event item that appears only in {{game|Crystal}}, where it was part of a giveaway on the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]] for Japanese games, similar to [[event item]]s given out via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] and [[Nintendo Network]] from [[Generation IV]] onward. It was not used to catch any Pokémon and was placed in the [[Key Items]] pocket. If given to [[Kurt]] for inspection, it will activate an event where the player can catch a {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]].
* A [[Snag Ball]] is not a single, separate type of Poké Ball, but rather any type of existing Poké Ball that has been "unlocked" by the Snag Machine, allowing it to [[snagging|snag]] an already-[[caught Pokémon]] during a {{pkmn|battle}}. While it is ''able'' to be used on any Pokémon, [[Rui]] will only allow [[Wes]] to use it on [[Shadow Pokémon]], while [[Michael]]'s Aura Reader will render the Snag Machine inoperable when a Pokémon other than a Shadow Pokémon is targeted.
* When transferring Pokémon via [[Poké Transfer]], a blue-colored Poké Ball is used to catch the Pokémon in the minigame. They are shot using a bow.
* Typing Balls are used in [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]]. They are thrown after one successfully types a Pokémon's name. It has the overall design like that of a normal Poké Ball, only having an additional vertical line at the bottom, resembling the letter "T".
* In the [[Timegate Traveler Series]] featured in [[Pokéstar Studios]], the future is ruled by {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that capture wild humans in Human Balls (Japanese: '''ヒューマンボール''' ''Human Ball'') instead of the other way around. They have no visual difference to Poké Balls.
* Numerous sprites in the [[Generation III]] core series games have off-color Poké Balls due to sprite palette limitations. While they are most likely intended to be standard Poké Balls, their color scheme is sometimes distinct from the usual color scheme.

===In the anime===
* A green Poké Ball appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Interestingly, the cover of the book {{OBP|Grass Pokédex|book}} greatly resembles this Poké Ball, and is labeled as a Safari Ball.
** In addition to this, the artwork of {{ga|Brendan}}, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, features Brendan holding a green Poké Ball.
* Several objects were used to contain and control Pokémon before Poké Balls themselves were developed. Large monumental objects have been shown several times in episodes to be containers for large ancient Pokémon, as seen most notably in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. Smaller objects have also been used, such as the staff belonging to [[Sir Aaron]], which contained his partner, {{OBP|Lucario|M08}}, until {{Ash}} released it in the current era. Special armor developed by [[Marcus]] was used to control Pokémon in ancient [[Michina Town]], though it did not directly ''contain'' the Pokémon; unlike other methods of using Pokémon, these Pokémon were enslaved, instead of befriended, and they turned against him the moment the armor was broken.
* {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} had a collection of strange Poké Balls known as (Japanese: '''ミュウツーボール''' ''Mewtwo Balls'') in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', which incorporated an eye into their design, and were used primarily to capture Pokémon to be cloned. These balls had no trouble catching Pokémon which were already captured—even if they were already inside of Poké Balls.
* [[Molly Hale]], whose imagination caused the power of the {{OBP|Unown|M03}} to change the world around them, was able to use strange, crystalline Poké Balls when she challenged {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''. The Pokémon sent from these appeared normally, but dissolved into crystal, rather than being recalled. These crystal Poké Balls only appeared when used by her imagined older selves, and do not appear to actually exist.
* A special variant of Poké Ball, the Lake Ball, was used during the [[Seaking Catching Competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''; this is viewed by many to be similar to the Sport Ball used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball. They don't shake after capture, implying an automatic catch.
* Older Poké Balls have also appeared in the anime, specifically the one carried by [[Sam]] in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', which was colored differently, and it had a knob that needed to be twisted before the Pokémon inside could be sent out. While it is unknown how these types were manufactured, it is likely that they were made by hand using Apricorns, prior to the standardization and mass production of modern-day Poké Balls.
* The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], an agent of [[Team Rocket]], used special [[Dark Ball]]s that corrupted Pokémon caught inside them and made them into mindless servants of the Trainer, as well as raising their power significantly. Multiple Pokémon were caught in these Poké Balls, including the {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} and a powerful {{p|Tyranitar}}. They seem capable of catching any Pokémon without fail.
* As in the games, the [[GS Ball]] appeared in the anime, and was the primary motivation for Ash's trip to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], where he would compete in his second Pokémon League. It also served as the catalyst for his journey to [[Johto]], as he needed to deliver the ball to [[Kurt]]. Former director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] revealed that a shelved storyline, that would have concluded the GS Ball's arc, involved a {{p|Celebi}} that would have traveled with Ash and his friends through at least part of Johto. The storyline was viewed as redundant after the decision was made to introduce Celebi in the fourth movie instead.
* ''[[AG104|Claydol, Big and Tall]]'' featured the "Stone Ball", a huge Poké Ball made of stone used to keep an evil, giant {{p|Claydol}} that levied destruction everywhere. This Poké Ball is about the size of a two-story house.
* In ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', an ancient relic resembling a Poké Ball was first mentioned by {{an|Brandon}}, who told Ash and his friends a story about the [[King of Pokélantis]], who had once tried to control {{p|Ho-Oh}} for his own evil purposes. When Ash later found the relic, it was revealed that the King of Pokélantis's spirit was actually sealed within it, and it possessed Ash until it was banished from his body and resealed back inside the relic.
* In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', a specially marked Poké Ball, called the "Fishing Poké Ball", was used in the fake fishing contest set up by {{TRT}}. This Poké Ball highly resembled the regular red and white Poké Ball, except that it had a dark fish mark on its red part.
* In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', the participants of the [[Pokémon Catch Race]] used special "Catch Race Poké Balls" to catch specifically marked Pokémon around [[Fula City]]. These Poké Balls feature a blue-and-white color scheme, with a gold button.
* In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', starting from ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', the Team Rocket trio was provided with the [[Rocket Prize Master]], a vending machine that lets them borrow random Pokémon from it, contained in special Team Rocket Poké Balls. When a Pokémon is sent out from them, these Balls drop a small leaflet explaining details about the Pokémon in question.

===In the manga===
====In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga====
* In ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', a giant Poké Ball named the Enormo Poké Ball-X1 (Japanese: '''ビッグモンスターボールX1''' ''Big Monster Ball-X1'') or EPB-X1 for short, was created to capture the gigantic {{p|Haunter}}, [[Black Fog]]. It was destroyed when the Black Fog used {{m|Explosion}} to free itself after being captured.

====In the Pokémon Adventures manga====
* [[Bruno]] has modified his Poké Balls so that they are fitted onto the ends of his {{wp|Nunchaku|nunchucks}}. By swinging them quickly and throwing the nunchuck forward, Bruno can have his Pokémon quickly attack his opponent, giving him the advantage.
* [[Koga]] and his daughter [[Janine]] modified their Poké Balls into {{wp|shuriken}} to fit their ninja theme. In addition to being used as weapons, they can also be used to have their Pokémon pop up from different locations to surprise the opponent or to hold items to help an ally.
* [[Bugsy]] had [[Kurt]] modify his butterfly net into something he calls a Capture Net. His net has a Poké Ball nested into the middle of it. The bag of the net is made of the same material of the inside of a Poké Ball. Once a Pokémon is covered in the bag, they will automatically be sucked into the Poké Ball.
* [[Falkner]] has modified his Poké Balls into boomerangs using the feathers of his {{p|Skarmory}}. Because of Skarmory's feathers being transparent, they have the tendency to turn invisible, confusing enemies when Falkner throws them in random directions only for them to turn around and go straight for them.
* [[Erika]] and {{adv|Moon}} modified their Poké Balls to be at the end of their arrows.
* In ''[[PS283|It Takes Patience, Knowledge and a Really Quick Beedrill]]'', {{adv|Giovanni}} used a specifically designed Poké Ball with the letters "DNA" on its top half to capture {{adv|Deoxys}}.

===In the TCG===
* The {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}} is merely two Poké Balls together, and has a similar effect to using two plain Poké Ball cards, requiring two coin flips to search for up to two Basic Pokémon, depending on how many heads appear.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}} is [[Team Magma]]'s Poké Ball variant, found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It allows the user to search for a Team Magma's Pokémon, but if a coin flip results in tails, the search is limited to {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic}} Team Magma Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}} is [[Team Aqua]]'s Poké Ball variant, also found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works ''exactly'' the same as the Team Magma Ball, searching for Team Aqua's Pokémon instead.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}} is the [[Team Rocket]] variation on the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion. No coin flip is required, and it simply allows the player to search for a {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.
* The {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Team Plasma Ball|105}} is the [[Team Plasma]] variant of the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}} expansion. It allows the user to search for a Team Plasma Pokémon without a coin flip required.
* The {{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Magma's Great Ball|31}} is another Team Magma Poké Ball variant, found in the {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion. It searches the deck for a Basic Team Magma Pokémon and a basic {{e|Fighting}} energy.
* The {{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Aqua's Great Ball|27}} is another Team Aqua Poké Ball variant, also found in the {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion. It searches the deck for a Basic Team Aqua Pokémon and a basic {{e|Water}} energy instead.

==Item balls==
{{main|Item#Obtaining items|Item → Obtaining items}}
[[File:Itemball.png|thumb|200px|left|{{ga|Red}} finds an item ball on {{rt|2|Kanto}}]]
[[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.png|right|200px|thumb|Ash catches a [[rice ball]] thrown by a wild {{p|Mankey}}]]
In both the anime and games, it has been shown that [[item]]s can be contained in Poké Balls, apparently able to be captured in much the same way as a Pokémon. The anime has used this as a gag on several occasions, most notably in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', where {{Ash}} accidentally catches a rice ball when he throws a Poké Ball in an attempt to catch a wild Mankey.

Items contained in Poké Balls have been present from the very first games, with many items that are found on the field being found in Poké Balls in conspicuous locations. These items are sometimes important, and usually will be among the required items for pickup along the way. Sometimes, even Poké Ball variants can be found in item balls, though it may be that the item ball itself is supposed to represent the ball that is found. Many other items, however, are hidden, and are not in item balls, instead being directly on the field, and can be found more easily using an Itemfinder or [[Dowsing Machine]].

{{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Foongus}}, {{p|Amoonguss}} and {{p|Stunfisk|Galarian Stunfisk}} often appear as item balls in the overworld, but attack when interacted with (or if at close range for Galarian Stunfisk) except the Foongus in [[Accumula Town]].

==Trivia==
* {{an|Professor Oak}} has written {{wp|senryū}} about the Poké Ball in two of his lectures:
** For [[DP003]], the [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] featured this senryū: 「ゲットだぜ　なげかたいろいろ　モンスターボール」 ''"I caught a Pokémon! {{tt|Monster Balls|Poké Balls}} can be thrown in all sorts of ways."''
** For [[BW002]], the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]] featured this senryū: 「あっポケモン　モンスターボール　わすれずに」 ''"Oh, a Pokémon; don't forget to bring your {{tt|Monster Balls|Poké Balls}}."''
* In {{g|Pinball}}, the Poké Balls serve as the balls in the machine; they can be used to capture Pokémon and are upgraded depending on the multiplier bonus at the time.
* In some early artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Poké Balls are shown on the ground in two pieces while the Pokémon are in battle, rather than in the more familiar hinged form they take now. This may be a carryover from when Pokémon was known as Capsule Monsters, as the Poké Ball sprites in Generation I also do not show the button on the ball. In [[Generation II]], Poké Balls split in half when capturing a Pokémon as part of their animation, while the anime had been using the hinge style since the very first episode.
* Poké Balls are inspired by the capsules for {{wp|gashapon}} machines, which contain small, handheld toys.{{fact}}
* In Generation II, after catching a Pokémon, the Poké Ball's color palette changes to that of the Pokémon that was just caught. It then changes back to normal thereafter.
** A similar effect would later be used in subsequent generations for all Poké Ball captures (regardless of the variety of Poké Ball used), beginning with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* Starting in [[Generation III]], all Poké Ball types have a special effect that appears whenever the ball is opened. These special effects also can be seen in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. In [[Generation IV]], customizable special effects are available through [[Seal]]s.

[[File:SwSh Berry tree.png|thumb|150px|A Berry tree from {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}]]
A '''Berry tree''' (Japanese: '''きのみの{{tt|木|き}}''' ''Fruit tree'') is a tree in the overworld on which {{Berries}} grow. In [[Generation II|Generations II]], {{gen|VI}}, {{gen|VII}}, and {{gen|VIII}}, Berries can be collected from trees at fixed locations on a regular basis.

In [[Generation III|Generations III]], {{gen|IV}}, {{gen|V}}, VI, and VII, Berries can also be planted in [[soft soil]]. In the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]s, Berry trees can be found growing when the player first arrives at a location. Once the Berries are picked, another Berry can be planted in the soft soil.

==Generation II==
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there are a number of Berry trees across the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] regions. The player can harvest one Berry from each tree each day.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, these Berry trees are replaced with additional [[Apricorn]] trees. Instead, the player can grow their own trees in [[Berry Pots]].

==Generation VII==
[[File:Berry piles.png|thumb|200px|Berry piles with different sizes]]
In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, there are a number of Berry trees across the [[Alola]] region. Piles of Berries lie beneath the trees, which come in two sizes that are distinct in the overworld: a small pile that yields three random Berries, or a large pile that yields four to five Berries. These piles often attract {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Crabrawler}}, which will attack anyone trying to take the Berries from their pile.

The first Berry in a large pile is fixed, and some Berries can only be found this way. It is possible to get multiple of the same Berry in a single pile. The pile in the {{al|Berry fields}} can only be a small pile and will never contain a Crabrawler. Piles regenerate every day at midnight, although the player has to leave the area for them to reappear.

===Pokémon===
In large piles, the player will always find a high level {{p|Crabrawler}} hiding among the Berries that the player must defeat or capture in order to collect them; small piles only occasionally have low level Crabrawler hiding among the Berries. If the player runs from or loses to the Crabrawler, it will remain in the Berry pile and the player cannot collect the Berries unless they battle it again.

==Generation VIII==
{{incomplete|section|Isle of Armor}}
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, there are a number of trees where Pokémon hoard their food (Berry trees prior to version 1.2.0) across the [[Galar]] region. The player can shake the tree to get one to three items from a tree. If the tree is shaken too many times in a row, a Pokémon will attack the player and nearby Pokémon will steal either all of the items of one variety or all of the fallen items. After the items are harvested or a Pokémon attacks, the tree can no longer be shaken until the next day. Trees in the North [[Wild Area]] may also drop [[Leftovers]] in addition to {{Berries}} while trees on the Isle of Armor also drop [[Apricorns]]

===Pokémon===
Depending on the tree, {{p|Skwovet}}, {{p|Greedent}}, or {{p|Cherubi}} may attack the player Trees in the Isle of Armor can have additionally have {{p|Applin}} or {{p|Emolga}} appear.

[[File:SwSh Berry tree.png|thumb|150px|A Berry tree from {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}]]
A '''Berry tree''' (Japanese: '''きのみの{{tt|木|き}}''' ''Fruit tree'') is a tree in the overworld on which {{Berries}} grow. In [[Generation II|Generations II]], {{gen|VI}}, {{gen|VII}}, and {{gen|VIII}}, Berries can be collected from trees at fixed locations on a regular basis.

In [[Generation III|Generations III]], {{gen|IV}}, {{gen|V}}, VI, and VII, Berries can also be planted in [[soft soil]]. In the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]s, Berry trees can be found growing when the player first arrives at a location. Once the Berries are picked, another Berry can be planted in the soft soil.

==Generation II==
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there are a number of Berry trees across the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] regions. The player can harvest one Berry from each tree each day.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, these Berry trees are replaced with additional [[Apricorn]] trees. Instead, the player can grow their own trees in [[Berry Pots]].

==Generation VII==
[[File:Berry piles.png|thumb|200px|Berry piles with different sizes]]
In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, there are a number of Berry trees across the [[Alola]] region. Piles of Berries lie beneath the trees, which come in two sizes that are distinct in the overworld: a small pile that yields three random Berries, or a large pile that yields four to five Berries. These piles often attract {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Crabrawler}}, which will attack anyone trying to take the Berries from their pile.

The first Berry in a large pile is fixed, and some Berries can only be found this way. It is possible to get multiple of the same Berry in a single pile. The pile in the {{al|Berry fields}} can only be a small pile and will never contain a Crabrawler. Piles regenerate every day at midnight, although the player has to leave the area for them to reappear.

===Pokémon===
In large piles, the player will always find a high level {{p|Crabrawler}} hiding among the Berries that the player must defeat or capture in order to collect them; small piles only occasionally have low level Crabrawler hiding among the Berries. If the player runs from or loses to the Crabrawler, it will remain in the Berry pile and the player cannot collect the Berries unless they battle it again.

==Generation VIII==
{{incomplete|section|Isle of Armor}}
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, there are a number of trees where Pokémon hoard their food (Berry trees prior to version 1.2.0) across the [[Galar]] region. The player can shake the tree to get one to three items from a tree. If the tree is shaken too many times in a row, a Pokémon will attack the player and nearby Pokémon will steal either all of the items of one variety or all of the fallen items. After the items are harvested or a Pokémon attacks, the tree can no longer be shaken until the next day. Trees in the North [[Wild Area]] may also drop [[Leftovers]] in addition to {{Berries}} while trees on the Isle of Armor also drop [[Apricorns]]

===Pokémon===
Depending on the tree, {{p|Skwovet}}, {{p|Greedent}}, or {{p|Cherubi}} may attack the player.

[[File:Cissy Badge.png|thumb|220px|[[Ash Ketchum]] examines the Coral Eye Badge he won from [[Cissy]]]]
A '''Badge''' (Japanese: '''バッジ''' ''Badge'') is an item which denotes a [[Pokémon Trainer]] as having defeated a [[Gym Leader]].

Trainers need to collect a certain number of [[Gym]] Badges in order to qualify for a region's [[Pokémon League]]. Young Trainers usually begin their initial [[Pokémon journey]] by traveling from city to city in order to collect them. Badges are small enough to fit easily between one's thumb and index finger and can be pinned to a shirt or kept in a Badge case.

==Development==
[[File:Early Badges.png|220px|thumb|Early artwork]]
A selection of familiar and unfamiliar Badges can be seen in early character artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It appears that the original concept of Badges was more similar to an {{wp|embroidered patch}} than the {{wp|Badge|pinned badge}} they are portrayed as in the {{pkmn|anime}} and subsequent game entries. While some of these patches do resemble Badges seen in the final game like the [[Media:Sugimori1996.png|Cascade Badge]], the [[Media:Sugimori1996.png|Volcano Badge]] or even the [[Media:Red Blue Blue.png|Rainbow]] [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX 3.png|Badge]], others don't appear to be based on anything, and may have only been made for the sake of aesthetics, much like real-life embroidered patches, such as Red's "[[Media:Red Green Red.png|Leaf]] [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX cover.png|Badge]]" or Silver's "[[Media:Gold Silver Silver.png|Artsy Badge]]".

Other instances of embroidered "Badges" can be seen in the cover art for the ''Games That Stand Out Collection'' magazine, with the male Trainer's [[Media:Magazine boytrainer.png|rock or diamond]] badge and the female Trainer's [[Media:Magazine girltrainer.png|teardrop]] badge, which shares a resemblance to the Cascade Badge. However, given the nature of this illustration (the designs were made specifically for this cover and weren't intended to be used in the franchise<ref>[https://imgur.com/FFLW01B The scan of the interview page with English translations newly annotated]</ref>), it is likely that these designs were chosen randomly. The latter Badge's resemblance to the Cascade Badge was most likely a coincidence, given it is a stylized drop of water.

==Effects==
===Stat boost===
In [[Generation]]s I-III, some Badges boost a certain stat or stats of the player's Pokémon. This boost is applied only in internal battles, not link battles. In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, the stat or stats are increased by 12.5%; in [[Generation III]], the stat or stats are increased by 10%. This boost does not exist from [[Generation IV]] onward.

In Generation I, this boost is reapplied whenever the player's Pokémon's stats are raised or lowered, allowing boosts to be stacked (this stacking effect is lost if the Pokémon levels up). In Generation II, if the attack is a [[critical hit]] and the attacker's used offensive stat stage is less than or equal to the opponent's defensive stat stage, all Badge boosts are ignored.

|}

Note that in Generation I, the game states that the Thunder Badge raises Speed and the Soul Badge raises Defense, but these are not the actual effects caused.

===Type boost===
In [[Generation II]], every Badge boosts the power of the moves of a certain type by 12.5% (1/8), despite never being referenced in the games. The type strengthened matches the type theme of the [[Gym]] (for example, Zephyr Badge boosts the Flying-type). These boosts work similarly to the way [[same-type attack bonus]] (STAB) boosts work, and are, in fact, calculated in-between [[Weather|weather modifiers]] and STAB.

Just like stat boosts, type boosts are not applied in link battles.

===Obedience===
{{main|Obedience}}
Badges affect a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s behavior. [[Outsider Pokémon]] over a certain [[level]] will refuse to obey the player without the appropriate Badge. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only, obedience is determined by the number of Badges, not which specific Badges the player has.

In the anime episode ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', {{OBP|Lacy|EP044}} mentioned this when [[Ash's Charmeleon]] refused to obey him.

===HM moves===
{{main|HM}}
While Trainers can teach their Pokémon [[HM]] moves and use them in battle, Trainers require the appropriate Badge to use them in the overworld in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} through {{gen|IV}} as well as [[Generation VI]]. In [[Generation V]] only, Badges are not needed to use HM moves in the overworld.

===Poké Mart stock===
From Generation IV onwards, the number of Badges a Trainer possesses affects which items [[Poké Mart]]s sell. The more Badges, the more items that become available for purchase, with more expensive items generally appearing after more Badges are obtained.

===Pokémon League===
In the games, in order to enter the [[Pokémon League]] and challenge the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player must have all eight Badges from that region (or in the case of the [[Indigo Plateau]], either [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]]). In [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and Generation I/III Kanto, Badges are checked individually through a series of Badge Check Gates; in [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and Generation II/IV Kanto, Badges are checked all at once.

==List of Badges==
===Indigo League===

{{-}}

===Sinnoh League===
When Badges are touched in the games, they play a single note, and will make a musical {{wp|C major|C major scale}} when all eight Badges are collected. When a player rubs the stylus across them numerous times to polish them (as they gradually tarnish), they will begin to shine. This process can be continued until four sparkles are visible. The musical notes are also the most clearly defined and accurately tuned when there are four sparkles.

Unlike other generations, it is the number of Badges that determines which [[outsider Pokémon]] [[Obedience#Generation III_and IV|obey]] the Trainer, rather than the Badges themselves (this distinction is important owing to the fact that the order of obtaining the Cobble, Fen, and Relic Badges can differ). For every second Badge the maximum level of obeying Pokémon increases (0 Badges—level 10; 2 Badges—level 30; 4 Badges—level 50; 6 Badges—level 70; 8 Badges—level 100). The number of Badges collected also affects the items that the player can purchase in [[Poké Mart]]s.

{{bdg/h|Sinnoh|8|Sinnoh}}
{{bdg|rock|Coal|コールバッジ|Coal|Roark|Oreburgh City|oa=[[Byron]]|hm={{m|Rock Smash}}|It is shaped like a boulder and a {{i|Poké Ball}} combined. It also resembles [[Roark]]'s hard hat, or possibly a treasure chest.}}

{{bdg|ice|Icicle|グレイシャバッジ|Glacier|Candice|Snowpoint City|hm={{m|Rock Climb}}|It is shaped like an iceberg or two icy mountains.}}
{{bdg|electric|Beacon|ビーコンバッジ|Beacon|Volkner|Sunyshore City|hm={{m|Waterfall}}|It is shaped like a lighthouse.}}
|}
{{-}}

===Unova League===
Unlike previous Badges, the level at which traded Pokémon will obey the player goes up by ten per Badge, rather than the previous system of rising twenty levels after every even-numbered Badge. They can be polished like Sinnoh's Badges, although they do not make different notes when polished at the same level. Instead, the picture of the Gym Leader from whom the Badge was earned gets grayer.

In Black 2 and White 2 the Badges no longer dull over a period of time, and Sinnoh's notes were reintegrated into the Badge screen.

Although Badges are not required to use any of the [[HM]]s outside of battle, some HMs cannot be obtained until after obtaining certain Badges. However, as they are not required, traded Pokémon that have learned an HM move in another game can still use the HM move before acquiring any Badges.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kanto Gym Badges anime.png|thumb|left|250px|The Kanto Gym Badges in the anime]]
[[File:Ash Fen Badge.png|thumb|220px|Ash holding the Fen Badge]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Badges signify that a {{pkmn|Trainer}} has succeeded at a particular [[Gym]]. If a Trainer earns eight Gym Badges in one [[region]], they are eligible to enter that region's [[Pokémon League Conference]].

Trainers do not necessarily have to win a battle with the Gym Leader in order to earn a Badge, and Gym Leaders can be quite lenient about giving out Badges. For example, {{Ash}} was awarded several Badges during the [[original series]] because of his kind heart and determination; {{an|Misty}} has berated Ash on several occasions because he did not properly earn all of his Kanto Badges, arguing that he really only earned three Badges (the Thunder, Soul, and Volcano Badges) and the other five Badges were given to him on technicalities. In ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', the [[Sunyshore Gym]] was shown to be handing out free Beacon Badges. The [[Orange League|Orange Crew]] all have entire Gym matches devoted to unconventional battling styles.

In ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', {{OBP|Lacy|EP044}} mentioned that some Pokémon will not [[obedience|obey]] their Trainer if they do not respect them, due to their Trainer lacking in Badges. For example, after evolving into Charmeleon, [[Ash's Charmander]] began to disobey him, which was only exacerbated upon evolving again into Charizard.

In [[Kalos]], due to {{an|Clemont}}'s perception of an ideal challenger of the [[Lumiose Gym]], he programmed the [[Clembot]]—the substitute [[Gym Leader]]—to throw out challengers who did not have four [[Kalos League]] Badges. As a result, when Ash attempted to challenge the Gym shortly after arriving in the Kalos region, Clembot acted according to its programming and threw him out. After Clemont [[XY009|reprogrammed the Clembot]], he removed the Badge restriction, but Ash indicated he would still collect four Badges before challenging Clemont himself at the Gym.

Many fellow Trainers that Ash has encountered have been shown to have Badges that do not exist in the games, such as {{Gary}} earning ten Badges in Kanto, indicating that there are more than eight Gyms in each region. Other Badges observed in the anime which do not correspond to known Badges suggest that there are at least nine Gyms in [[Hoenn]], 11 in [[Sinnoh]], 14 in [[Unova]], and 11 in [[Kalos]]. Despite this, Ash's Badge case has frequently had indents specifically shaped for the Badges that appear in the games. However, Trainers only need eight to qualify

It is also implied in the anime that a Gym Badge serves as a primary ID for a Gym Leader (and probably a secondary ID for a Trainer). {{an|Brock}} has used his Boulder Badge to identify himself in order to clear his name from any accusations of stealing parts from a machine shop in [[Cerulean City]].

Additionally, Badges are not the only way to enter the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. [[Pokémon Tech]], a {{pkmn|academy|boarding school}} for Pokémon Trainers, is an expensive school for children, where moving up a grade is the equivalent of winning two Gym Badges. Upon graduation, students may immediately apply for entry in Kanto's League Conference. Alternatively, Trainers can take the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]], which awards a single Badge that grants entry to the Indigo Plateau Conference on its own; it is convenient for people whose age, health, or work keeps them from traveling around to collect Badges.

===Alternative Badges in the anime===
[[File:Many Unknown Kanto Badges.png|thumb|200px|Badges in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'']]
So far, Ash has only obtained Badges that are obtainable in the games, with the notable exception of those he obtained in the Orange Archipelago. Several unknown Badges can be seen at the beginning of ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', while many Trainers Ash has met have had Badges that differ from those that are obtainable in the games. This suggests that there are Gyms in locations which do not appear in the games and therefore more than eight Gyms in each region. Trainers with Badges not seen in the games include:

====Gary====
{{Gary}} acquired more than the standard eight Kanto League Badges, thus leading to confusion as to whether or not there is a fixed number of Badges that can be given out in a particular region. By ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', he is shown to have at least ten Badges, only three of which correspond to known Kanto Badges, suggesting there are at least fifteen Gyms in Kanto. Incidentally, this would provide one Gym for each of the 15 [[type]]s at the time.

====Otoshi====
In addition, before Ash competes in the Indigo League, a Trainer named [[Otoshi]] is shown in the episode ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]''; he owns eight Badges, but only shares four in common with Ash; later in the episode another Trainer is seen with eight other completely different Badges altogether. In total, Ash, Gary, Otoshi, and the other Trainer display 27 different types of Badges, so there must be at least this number of Gyms in Kanto at the time, assuming they are all from the same region. However, [[Sakura]], a Trainer on her journey, was shown to be collecting Badges from both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], so it is unclear what the specific rules are for competing in championship tournaments.

On closer inspection, Otoshi's Badges each look somewhat similar to Ash's Badges and only differ in size and shape. Similarly, what can be identified as a Soul Badge, Thunder Badge, Marsh Badge, and Volcano Badge slide across the screen every time his {{p|Marowak}} knocks out a Pokémon in his flashback. His Badges are in this order from upper-left to bottom-right: Thunder, ? (Rainbow), Cascade, Volcano, Marsh, Soul, Boulder, and Earth. This hints that there may be different varieties of the same Badge.

====Morrison====
At the Hoenn Pokémon League Championship in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum!]]'', [[Morrison]] is shown to have an eighth Badge different from Ash's, suggesting that there are at least nine Gyms in Hoenn.

====Mismagius====
In {{Ash}}'s dream in ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]'', Ash has many Badges that haven't been on-screen before, as well as some older Badges. Considering it was only a dream, it is possible that some of the Badges seen don't exist at all.

====Barry====
In ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', {{an|Barry}} was shown to have three Badges. While the Forest Badge and the Mine Badge are no different, Barry has a third Badge that is different from the eight Sinnoh Badges. In ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', Barry was revealed to have obtained eight Badges already, two more of which are different. This means that there are at least 11 Gyms in Sinnoh. The same unknown red Badge that Barry owns is shown at the end of ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''.

====Nando====
In ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'', [[Nando]] was revealed to have acquired seven Badges, two of which are unknown. These two Badges are the same as two of Barry's unknown Badges.

====Trip====
In ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]'', [[Trip]] revealed all five of the Badges he had collected, three of which are unknown and not seen in-game.

====Cameron====
In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', {{un|Cameron}} revealed all seven of the Badges he collected, four of which are known and three of which are unknown. Two of those unknown Badges are the same as Trip's. Since there are 10 Badges in Unova in the games (due to two of them being replaced in Black 2 and White 2), this means that there are at least 14 Gyms in Unova.

====Sawyer====
In ''[[XY073|A Fashionable Battle!]]'', [[Sawyer]] stated that he had earned one Badge. Later, in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', he was revealed to have earned four more Badges, including three unknown ones. This means there are at least 11 Gyms in Kalos.

===Non-Gym Badges===
Several Badges have appeared in the anime that are not official Gym Badges.

In the [[Indigo League]], Trainers can take the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]], which awards a single Badge that grants entry to Indigo Plateau Conference on its own, replacing the requirement to collect Gym Badges. It is convenient for people whose age, health, or work keeps them from traveling around to collect Badges.

During the closing ceremony of [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], all participants are awarded the Pokémon League Badge. However, it is only referred to as a Badge in the [[dub]].

For helping the [[band of Diglett thieves]] with their facade, the [[mayor of Diglett Village]] awarded Ash and his friends with the [[Silver Wing]] Badge.

The Trainers who defeat [[Ryuki]], the {{tc|Kantonian Gym|Leader}} of the unofficial [[Kantonian Gym]], get a novelty Badge featuring his face.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Sinnoh Gym Badges Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Platinum's Sinnoh Gym Badges]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Badges have mystical and mysterious qualities that can somehow increase the power of the Pokémon owned by the Trainer who wields the Badges, just as the Boulder Badge increases the Pokémon's Attack stat in the games. In addition, Badges that don't allow higher leveled Pokémon to obey, such as the Soul Badge, do indeed allow the wearer to control even [[Legendary Pokémon]] such as {{p|Articuno}}.

It is not known what sort of material Badges are made of, but it has been confirmed that the Gym Leaders each own a Badge made of different material than the kind given out to normal Trainers, as that is how the [[Masked Man]]'s identity was narrowed down to among the 16 known Gym Leaders when [[Aibo]] scraped off a part of his hidden Badge with his {{m|Scratch}} attack.

[[Team Rocket]] used seven Kanto Gym Badges to power a machine that combined {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} into {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer|a single beast}}. The machine also had a secret slot for the Earth Badge, which Lance manipulated to further his own goals by turning [[Cerise Island]] into a giant Badge energy amplifier to fuel {{p|Lugia}} with.

Badges are not required to enter the Pokémon League tournament; however, without eight Badges corresponding to their home region, a Trainer must battle their way in to qualify for the finals. This ruling was introduced during a [[Pokémon Association]] meeting in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, to give Trainers incentive to challenge Gym Leaders, and remove the perception of Badges being seen as tools for evil. In the {{chap|Black & White}}, a last-minute advancement of the date of the Unova League tournament also restricted the eligible challengers to those with all eight of the region's Badges.

Four [[Pokédex holder|main characters]] have actively been collecting Gym Badges: {{adv|Red}}, who managed to collect seven Kanto Badges (missing the Earth Badge); and {{adv|Sapphire}}, {{adv|Platinum}} and {{adv|Black}}, all of whom managed to collect all of the Badges in their respective regions. Other characters have also gathered Badges, such as {{adv|Cheren}} and {{adv|Silver}}.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Kanto Badges EToP.png|thumb|200px|Ash's Kanto Badges]]
[[File:Ash Orange Islands Badges EToP.png|thumb|left|150px|Ash's Orange League Badges]]
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Badges work in a way similar to the anime, but there are some minor differences. All Badges have the Pokémon League logo printed on them.

In addition, Pokémon Trainers are organized by class, much like Pokémon Tech ("Class D", "Class C", and so forth). Badges increase the rank of the Trainer who owns them. {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} once believed that he could increase his rank by capturing rare wild Pokémon, but this was not the case.

Ash has obtained eight Badges from Kanto, but only three (Boulder, Cascade, Earth) actually matching known Badges, and another three lookalike Badges (resembling the Soul, Marsh, and Volcano). Ash also obtained four Badges from the Orange Islands, but none of them match any known Badges.

==In Pokémon Live!==
[[File:Diamond Badge.png|thumb|The Diamond Badge from [[Pokémon Live!]]]]
In [[Pokémon Live!]], {{an|Giovanni}} offers the ''Diamond Badge'' to Trainers who defeat his [[MechaMew2]]. He gives {{Ash}} the Diamond Badge prior to the battle, believing that Ash will never win. However, Ash defeats Giovanni with {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}'s assistance, proceeding to give the Diamond Badge to {{an|Misty}} as a belated birthday gift. Pokémon Live! is not in continuity with the {{pkmn|anime}}, and the Diamond Badge is not mentioned elsewhere in the series; however, it is the inspiration for [[DiamondShipping]]'s name.

==Trivia==
[[File:The Final Badge DVD.jpg|thumb|150px|The Earth Badge's design in the anime]]
[[File:Earth Badge.png|thumb|150px|Official artwork of the Earth Badge]]
[[File:Legend Badge slot.png|thumb|200px|The original Badge slots in Ash's Unova Badge case]]
* In the [[Pokémon Project Studio Red and Blue]] computer programs, the Soul and Marsh Badges' names are reversed, with the pink heart-shaped Badge being the Marsh Badge and the yellow circular Badge being the Soul Badge. Several anime and game handbooks also make this same switch. This appears to be because of an initial error in naming the Badges in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. A soul would be more attuned to {{t|psychic}} abilities and one finds {{t|Poison|poisonous}} gases in a marsh.
* Official artwork of the Earth Badge (featured in media such as Pokémon Project Studio Red and Blue and [[Extreme Pokémon: The Guide for the Ultimate Fan]]) differs significantly from its appearance in the games, anime, manga, and TCG. The design in its official artwork resembles a plant, whereas its other design resembles a feather.
* The Orange League is the only known Pokémon League with fewer than eight Badges.
* It is possible to obtain certain Badges in a non-linear order. The most notable example of this are the Badges in the Kanto region.
** In Generation II and IV, the Badges can be obtained in virtually any order, although in [[Generation IV]] the player cannot obtain the Earth Badge until obtaining the other seven.
** In Generation VII, the Boulder and Cascade Badges must each be obtained to progress to the next Gym, and [[Viridian Gym]] (Earth Badge) is closed until the player has obtained all seven other Badges. Other than these restrictions, the Badges can be obtained in any order.
** In [[Generation III]], the only Gym that can be skipped entirely is the [[Fortree Gym]]. The player can get to the point in the game where the guards at the Pokémon League check to see if the player has received all eight Badges. This is not the case with the [[Dewford Gym]] as it must be defeated in order for the player to fight [[Norman]], though it can be put off until after Flannery has been defeated.
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the Earth Badge is the only Badge that doesn't allow the use of an HM outside of battle, while in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} it is the only Kanto Badge that does.
* The Rainbow Badge's colors correspond with the colors of all the other Kanto Badges, explaining the colors in its design.
* In the code of the [[Generation I]] games, [[List of unobtainable items|items]] named for each Badge can be found. The items named '''BoulderBadge''' and '''CascadeBadge''' allow players to throw bait and rocks, respectively, at Pokémon outside of the {{safari|Kanto}} when used in battle. The other "Badge Items" have no known purpose, simply displaying Professor Oak's "This isn't the time to use that!" message when trying to use them.
* The Basic Badge is the only Badge to be given out by more than one Gym.
* The Rising Badge is the only Badge the player receives outside of its respective Gym.
* The Legend Badge is the only Badge from a completed [[generation]] of games that has not appeared in the anime.
** When Ash initially got his Unova Badge case in ''[[BW013|Minccino—Neat and Tidy!]]'', the slots in it were made to fit each Badge in Pokémon Black and White, but they later became circular to accommodate the Toxic Badge.
* Ash has not won a Badge in the same episode as his first encounter with its respective Gym Leader since earning the Dynamo Badge from [[Wattson]] in ''[[AG040|Watts with Wattson?]]''.
* In [[Alola]], [[Gym]]s and Badges are not present. Instead, the player receives [[Z-Crystal]]s for completing their trials and grand trials, which replace Badges on the [[save]] file and for unlocking new items at the [[Poké Mart]] (the latter for Z-Crystals from trials only). Additionally, grand trial completion Stamps are used to ensure [[obedience]].
** However, in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], the player can receive an unofficial Badge known as the [[Surge Badge]] by defeating the leader of the [[Kantonian Gym]] in [[Malie City]]. Although it is purely a novelty item and serves no practical purpose, its design and Japanese name are direct references to the Thunder Badge.

===Name origin===
* With the exception of the Rainbow and Rising Badges, all Badges in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] were renamed for audiences outside of Japan. All [[Hoenn]] League Badges keep their Japanese names, as do [[Sinnoh]] League Badges, with the exception of the Icicle Badge, due to its name originally being the Glacier Badge in Japanese. In English, the Glacier Badge is the [[Mahogany Gym]]'s Badge, which was originally called the Ice Badge in Japanese. This naming conflict continued in Generation V, with the [[Icirrus Gym]]'s Badge being the Icicle Badge in Japanese, where it was renamed the Freeze Badge in English.
** The Japanese names of the [[Kanto]] Badges are all colors, following the color pattern for the town and city names.
** The Trio and Insect Badges are the first Badges since the Glacier Badge in Generation II to get renamed in the English version of the games, without there being a localization conflict between the Japanese and English versions.
** All Badges in [[Galar]] are named directly after their corresponding [[Type|types]].
*** Consequentially, both Galar and [[Kalos]] have a Fairy Badge (フェアリーバッジ), making them the only Badges to share a name with each other in both English and Japanese.
* The Storm Badge's English name may be derived from the {{wp|lucha libre}} wrestler {{wp|Fray Tormenta}}—also the inspiration for [[Crasher Wake]]—whose name translates as "Friar Storm".

Talk:Ash Ketchum (M20)

2020-03-15T01:50:58Z

Lego3400: /* Move? (Continued) */

==Butterfree Release==
So I was informed that Pokemon don't count as "owned" if caught for less than one episode. In that case, doesn't M20 count as "one episode"? Butterfree shouldn't be listed as released.[[User:Muur1234|Muur1234]] ([[User talk:Muur1234|talk]]) 04:17, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
:I'd count movies differently since they are longer. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 05:54, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

== Move? ==

The "M20" in the page name doesn't really fit anymore, now that this version of Ash has also appeared in another movie. I suggest that it should be moved to "Ash Ketchum (movie)". Anybody agree? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 17:48, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
:While you're right, "Ash Ketchum (movie)" really isn't a good title because the original Ash has appeared in movies too. I'm not sure what would be a good title, maybe something like "Ash Ketchum (alternate continuity)" (also not the best, I admit...). In any case, this is something the staff needs to go over so anyone please hold off on moving. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 18:22, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
::Of course. I wasn't going to move this page without staff agreement, anyway. And I based the "movie" part on pages like [[Dialga (movie)]], [[Palkia (movie)]], and [[Giratina (movie)]], who, like this version of Ash, are recurring movie characters, who have appeared in more than one movie. Hope you can see where I'm coming from with this idea. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 18:35, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
:::Yes I can see your thought pattern. But these were all from the same continuity. This Ash is from a differrent continuity, and moving this page to "Ash Ketchum (movie)" would clash with the original Ash, as the title would suggest AU Ash is also the Ash from Movies 1 to 19. I'm not totally discarding your title proposal of course, but I wanna hear from others if they have different suggestions.☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 18:40, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
::::I suggest keeping the original title. "Ash Ketchum (alternate continuity)" sounds good, but we'll never know if they decide to introduce yet ''another'' alternate continuity featuring Ash in the future. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 21:54, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
:::::I'm also fine with that. As abcboy pointed out elsewhere, some pages for recurring characters have their debut epicode in the title. It would save a lot of hassle just keeping it the way it is. But keep suggestions coming. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 22:02, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
::::::I suggest removing every bit of information regarding M21 from this page. I don't know why we're discussing moving this page to a different title when we have zero proof that M20 and M21 are set in the same continuity. --[[User:Mikuri|'''Mi''']][[User talk: Mikuri|'''ku''']][[Special:Contributions/Mikuri|'''ri''']] 00:00, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
:::::::We also seem to have zero proof that M20 and M21 are ''NOT'' set in the same continuity. Perhaps we need to do research first before considering such a move. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 02:28, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
{{indent}} Perhaps you need to research the meaning of ''onus probandi''. You have to present evidence that M20 Ash and M21 Ash are the same character, not the other way around. --[[User:Mikuri|'''Mi''']][[User talk: Mikuri|'''ku''']][[Special:Contributions/Mikuri|'''ri''']] 02:41, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
:Well, I do not support such a move. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 02:43, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
::@Mikuri Instead of derailing the move conversation you could have started another topic but since you asked: when M21 was announced, a short snippet was released on pokemon.co.jp:

::“キミにきめた！”から始まった、新たな冒険。2018年のポケモン映画最新情報が、ついに解禁！
::Which translates to:
::''A new adventure, started by "I Choose You!". The latest info on the 2018 Pokemon movie is finally revealed!'' ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 10:59, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
:::Oh and the snippet can be found on this page before the legitimacy is doubted: https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/cat_anime/#page=1 ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 14:14, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
: Why not "Ash Ketchum (I Choose You)" or "Ash Ketchum (ICY)" then? It's been done for characters with multiple incarnations like "Ash Ketchum (ETOP)" and "Red (Adventures)" for example. [[User:Shadao|Shadao]] ([[User talk:Shadao|talk]]) 03:48, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
::That sounds reasonable. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 04:55, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
:::Agreed with "Ash Ketchum (ICY)". --[[User:Sk8erPrince|Sk8erPrince]] ([[User talk:Sk8erPrince|talk]]) 10:51, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
::What is the actual difference between (M20) and (ICY)? The beginning of this discussion came from the fact that Ash has appeared in both movies. Changing M20 to ICY is both doing the same thing and confusing in my humble opinion. (→ [[User:Rockapheller|Rockapheller]], [[User_talk:Rockapheller|talk to me]] 18:48, 26 January 2019 (UTC))
:::Yeah, ICY is the same as M20. M21 would be POU. There wouldn't be any point in moving Ash Ketchum (M20) to Ash Ketchum (ICY) when ICY is an abbreviation for the same movie that M20 stands for. How about calling it Ash Ketchum (reboot) instead? [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 21:13, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

== Move? (Continued) ==

Now that this same version of Ash is also due to appear in the next movie, how about we finally move this and Pikachu's page? I think "movie" would be a fitting replacement for "M20". --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:01, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
:Regular Ash has appeared in movies too you know, like BlazingFist said above. Ash (movie) is just not going to work.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:54, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
::Good point. But I feel it also needs to refer to the movie continuity as a whole, instead of just M20. Maybe "AU" for "alternate universe"? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 17:36, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Sky Battle

2019-02-20T20:58:02Z

Lego3400: /* Eligible Pokémon */

[[File:XY Prerelease Sky Battle.png|250px|thumb|A Sky Battle]]
A '''Sky Battle''' (Japanese: '''スカイバトル''' ''Sky Battle'') is a type of [[Pokémon battle]] introduced in {{g|X and Y}}. Sky Battles consist of two Pokémon battling each other in the air instead of on land or sea. However, because of this, only certain {{t|Flying}} types and certain Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Levitate}} are eligible for Sky Battles.

==In the games==
[[File:XY Prerelease Sky Trainer challenge.png|250px|thumb|A Sky Trainer asking to have a Sky Battle with the player]]
At certain points in the game, the player can encounter {{tc|Sky Trainer}}s on top of cliffs or other distant areas who will challenge them to a Sky Battle. All Sky Battles are optional, since the player may not have any eligible Pokémon to use. If all eligible Pokémon in the battle faint, the player will black out, but will resume the game standing where they were before battle. In this event, the Sky Trainer is unable to be re-challenged or even spoken to, even if the player's eligible Pokémon are restored, until the player exits and reenters the area.

===Eligible Pokémon===
Most {{type|Flying}} Pokémon and Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}} are eligible for Sky Battles, mainly those shown flying or floating in their normal battle animations. They do not lose eligibility even if they become [[grounded]] due to any in-battle effect, such as [[Mega Evolution]], a move like {{m|Roost}} or {{m|Gastro Acid}}, or an item like the [[Iron Ball]] or [[Air Balloon]]. Pokémon that must first Mega Evolve to become Flying-type or have Levitate are not eligible. If a Pokémon can have Levitate as one of multiple Abilities and is not Flying-type, it will only be eligible if it has Levitate.

Certain Flying types and Pokémon with Levitate are ineligible for Sky Battles, such as {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Hawlucha}}. These Pokémon are not shown flying or hovering in normal battles.

===Prohibited moves===
Certain moves are not permitted to be used in Sky Battles. If a Pokémon's only usable moves are prohibited, the Pokémon will use {{m|Struggle}} if it attempts to attack. If one of these moves is called by {{m|Metronome}} or {{m|Sleep Talk}}, a message will appear saying that it won't work well in Sky Battles.

==In the anime==
[[File:Sky Battle anime.png|250px|thumb|A Sky Battle in the anime]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Sky Battles first appeared in ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]''. An expert Sky Trainer called [[Moria]] was seen defeating another Sky Trainer's {{p|Skarmory}} with her {{p|Talonflame}}. Later, {{Ash}} challenged Moria to a Sky Battle, wanting to use his {{p|Fletchling}} against Talonflame. Although Moria accepted the offer, Talonflame was shown being unwilling to battle against its pre-evolved form, forcing Ash to use his {{AP|Hawlucha}} instead. Even through Hawlucha tried its best, it was defeated rather easily. After that, {{TRT}} showed up, trying to steal Talonflame, but were soon defeated. Afterwards, Talonflame, being thankful for Ash's Fletchling for saving it, accepted Fletchling's battle challenge. Even though Fletchling was almost defeated by Talonflame's {{m|Fire Blast}}, it [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{AP|Fletchinder}} and learned {{m|Flame Charge}} partway through the battle, allowing Ash to gain victory.

During Sky Battles, Trainers take to the air using special suits so they can fly alongside their Pokémon. Unlike the games, in which certain Flying types or Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}} are restricted, Sky Battles appear to be open to any Pokémon which has the ability to fly; both {{p|Hawlucha}} and {{p|Fletchling}} took part in the anime, which cannot participate in the games.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Y Sky Trainer.png|thumb|150px|Y in her Wing Suit]]
In the manga, Sky Battles first appeared in ''[[PAXY16|Burning Fletchinder]]''. While flying on a helicopter, {{adv|X}}, {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, and [[Cassius]] were attacked by a group of Sky Trainers led by [[Yvette]]. Commanding a herd of {{p|Vivillon}} they attack the helicopter with {{m|Hurricane}}, forcing Y to go out and battle with them. Y flies away from the helicopter to prevent it from being attacked but Yvette catches up to Y and starts to bully her again, while her Vivillon battles Fletchy. Y finally fights back as Fletchy evolves into {{p|Fletchinder}}, who defeats Vivillon with {{m|Flame Charge}}. At the same time X and the others find [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}} and [[Élec]] faints it with {{m|Discharge}}, revealing that Yvette and the Sky Trainer's were under [[Team Flare]]'s control.

** Have less Pokémon than Assist Trophies.
* On the German cover of the game, Yoshi was removed to make room for the USK rating and Pikachu was moved further up due to popularity.<ref>[https://nintendosoup.com/yoshi-vanishes-from-super-smash-bros-ultimates-german-box-art/ Yoshi Vanishes from Super Smash Bros.

{{SmashWiki|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate}}
'''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''' (Japanese: '''大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ {{j|SPECIAL}}''' ''Great Fray Smash Brothers Special'') is the sixth installment in the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series. It was first teased March 8, 2018, and was then revealed in full on a [[Nintendo Direct]] on June 12, during {{wp|Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3}}. It is set to release worldwide on the [[Nintendo Switch]] on December 7, 2018. The game will bring together all fighters from previous installments together in one game.

==Playable characters==
'''Bold''' denotes a [[Pokémon]] character.
ε denotes an {{sbw|Clone|Echo Fighter}}.
It was confirmed on Novemeber 1, 2018 that only the default roster from the first ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' is the starting roster, and the rest of the roster needs to be unlocked.<ref>[https://screenrant.com/super-smash-bros-ultimate-starting-roster-n64/ Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Starting Roster Is The Same As N64 Version]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fccgHnBQ0YM Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct 11.1.2018]</ref>

Much like with ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'' DLC Characters will be added over time after this games' launch with six different characters. The first DLC character was revealed as Piranha Plant from the ''Super Mario'' series which will be available for free for anyone who purchases the game and registers it before January 31, 2019. The later five will come in DLC sets which will also have a stage and a set of music tracks.

List of Pokémon with form differences

2018-12-02T19:20:18Z

Lego3400: /* Pichu */

{{incomplete|needs=Other languages for Zenith Marshadow}}
[[File:Cherrim Sunshine Form anime.png|thumb|{{p|Cherrim}} changing between forms in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Some Pokémon have official major [[Variant Pokémon|variations]] between individuals, known as '''forms''' (Japanese: '''すがた''' ''form''). These variations all have differing sprites in the games and are recognized by the "forms" section of the [[Pokédex]].

Starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, every official different form has a name given by the [[Pokédex]], but {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Genesect}}, and {{p|Furfrou}}'s alternate forms were not registered in the Pokédex prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. From Generation II to IV, whichever sprite is seen first will be the one displayed in the Pokédex by default; e.g., if West Sea {{p|Shellos}} was encountered first its sprite will appear in the Pokédex by default, whereas if East Sea Shellos was encountered first its sprite will. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the sprite displayed in the Pokédex can be changed after interacting with [[Cedric Juniper]] in [[Mistralton City]], even to a {{Shiny}} sprite, if it has been encountered. This option is automatically applied in {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}. In Generation VI onwards, the sprite can be changed as long as the player has owned the Pokémon.

At times, these differences are purely cosmetic and have no bearing on the difference in the Pokémon's stats from another; however, several Pokémon differ in stats (other than HP), [[type]], and [[Ability]] depending on their form. Among these are several {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], whose unique forms can be changed between at will and are usually spelled as '''Formes''' (Japanese: '''フォルム''' ''Forme'').

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], [[regional variant]] Pokémon were introduced. The species of Pokémon that adapted to the environment of [[Alola]] are called Alola Forms, and have different appearances, types and abilities to Pokémon of the same species found elsewhere.

==Pokémon with multiple forms==
===Pikachu===
====Cosplay Pikachu====
{{main|Cosplay Pikachu}}
Cosplay {{p|Pikachu}} is a unique female Pikachu who has a black heart-shaped mark near the end of its tail. This unique Pikachu is able to be dressed up into different costumes corresponding to each of the five [[Contest condition|conditions]] ({{OBP|Cool|condition|Coolness}}, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition|Cuteness}}, {{OBP|Clever|condition|Cleverness}}, and {{OBP|Tough|condition|Toughness}}) and learn an exclusive [[move]] associated with that condition. Cosplay Pikachu can switch costumes anytime at any [[Contest Hall]]. It will lose the move it had with the last costume (if it still knows it), and gain the move from the new costume. If Cosplay Pikachu removes its costume while the only move it knows is the move tied to its costume, it learns {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

Unlike other Pikachu, it cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]]. Additionally, Cosplay Pikachu cannot be deposited into [[Pokémon Bank]]; instead, it can only be traded between copies of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Cosplay Pikachu is not present in any other games and does not register as seperate form in the Pokémon Bank Pokédex despite it registering seperately in the Pokédex of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} (the only games it appears in), after the player takes part in their first {{pkmn|Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular}}, a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} will give the player Cosplay Pikachu.

====Pikachu in a cap====
{{main|Ash's Pikachu#Pikachu in a cap|Ash's Pikachu → Pikachu in a cap}}
These cap-wearing Pikachu are {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Pokémon that debuted in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], and are being distributed in celebration of the [[Pokémon anime]]'s [[M20|20th movie]], and by extension, the anime's 20th anniversary. Like [[Ash's Pikachu]], these Pikachu are always [[gender|male]] and cannot [[evolution|evolve]] or {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. They also have access to the exclusive [[Z-Crystal]], [[Pikashunium Z]], and its [[Z-Move]], {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}.

Six variants exist in Sun and Moon, one for each of [[Ash's hat]]s between the anime's [[original series]] and its {{series|Sun & Moon}}. A seventh variant debuts in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], wearing the Partner Cap, Ash's hat from the [[M20|20th movie]].

===Pichu===
{{main|Spiky-eared Pichu}}
Spiky-eared {{p|Pichu}} is a unique female Pichu who has a tuft of hair on the end of its left ear. Spiky-eared Pichu's [[Pokéathlon]] [[performance]] stats are different than a normal Pichu's. She cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or be [[trade]]d, and she cannot be [[Poké Transfer|transferred]] to the [[Generation V]] games.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} (the only games it appears in), if the player takes a {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu}} to the [[Ilex Forest]], Spiky-eared Pichu will join the player.

The Form also appears in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate as an alternate costume for Pichu, marking it's first appearance since HeartGold or SoulSilver

===Unown===
{{p|Unown}} has many forms, each corresponding to a typographical character. It was the first Pokémon to have multiple forms in the games. From its debut in [[Generation II]], there are 26 forms of Unown, each corresponding to each of the twenty-six letters of the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}. Starting in the [[Generation III]] games, Unown has two additional forms, corresponding to the {{wp|question mark}} and {{wp|exclamation mark}}. These forms are not interchangeable.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there is a special [[Unown Mode]], an upgrade to the Pokédex that was developed by the researchers at the [[Ruins of Alph]] to record the different forms of Unown, which is available after the player has caught several Unown. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there is the [[Unown Report]], which is obtainable after the player completes the first tile puzzle in the [[Ruins of Alph]].

In the Generation II games, Unown's form is determined by its {{IV}}s, which results in some strange phenomena; for example, in Generation II, only Unown I and V can be {{Shiny}} due to Shininess also being determined by IVs in these games. In the [[Generation III]] games, Unown's form is determined by its [[personality value]]. From the Generation IV games onward, an independent value determines the Pokémon form.

Though the form has no bearing on [[base stats]], punctuation Unown have different [[performance]] stats to alphabetical Unown.

===Castform===
{{p|Castform}} has four different forms, which its [[Ability]] {{a|Forecast}} causes it to change between in different types of [[weather]]. It is the first Pokémon to have interchangeable forms in battle in the games.

Normally, Castform is {{type|Normal}} and has a plain appearance with a gray body. It takes on this form in clear weather, in any weather without a specific form, and if the weather has its effects negated by {{a|Cloud Nine}} or {{a|Air Lock}}.

In [[harsh sunlight]], Forecast changes Castform to its Sunny Form, which is {{type|Fire}} and resembles the sun. In [[rain]], Forecast changes Castform to its Rainy Form, which is {{type|Water}} and resembles a raindrop. In {{weather|hail}}, Forecast changes Castform to its Snowy Form, which is {{type|Ice}} and resembles a snowy cloud. Castform reverts to its normal form when [[Recall|withdrawn]] from battle.

In Generation III and IV, if Castform's Ability {{a|Forecast}} is suppressed or replaced, Castform will remain in its current form (regardless of the weather). In Generation V onward, if Castform's Ability {{a|Forecast}} is suppressed or replaced, Castform will revert to its normal form (regardless of the weather).

Castform's [[stats]] do not change between any of these forms.

===Deoxys===
{{p|Deoxys}} has four different forms which it can switch between. It was the first Pokémon whose [[base stats]] and [[move]] compatibility differed depending on its form.

In the [[Generation III]] games, Deoxys's forms are game-specific, such that it will always be in one particular form while in the player's possession (although it will be in Normal Forme in the wild).
*In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}, it will be in Normal Forme.
*In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}, it will be in Attack Forme.
*In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}, it will be in Defense Forme.
*In {{game|Emerald}}, it will be in Speed Forme.

From Generation IV onward, the player can switch between its forms using meteorites found in the game.
*In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, using meteorites outside in [[Veilstone City]].
*In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, using meteorites outside on {{rt|3|Kanto}}.
*In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, using meteorites in the {{DL|Nacrene City|Nacrene Museum}} in [[Nacrene City]].
*In {{g|X and Y}}, using meteorites in the {{DL|Ambrette Town|Fossil Lab}} in [[Ambrette Town]].
*In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, using the meteorite in [[Professor Cozmo]]'s house in [[Fallarbor Town]].
* In {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, using the meteorite next to [[Sophocles]] in the [[Hokulani Observatory]] on [[Mount Hokulani]].

Deoxys's Normal Forme is the default form it takes, as well as the form it appears in in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. In this form, its stats are more balanced, though it is notably far more offensive than it is defensive.

Deoxys's Attack Forme has higher {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} than its other forms (being the non-Mega Evolved Pokémon with the highest Attack and Special Attack) and learns more offensive moves. Its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} are abysmal, much lower than its Normal Form. Its {{stat|Speed}} remains the same as its Normal Forme.

Deoxys's Defense Forme has much higher {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} than its other forms and learns more defensive moves. Its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are much lower than its Normal Forme, and its {{stat|Speed}} is also significantly lower than its Normal Forme.

Deoxys's Speed Forme has much higher {{stat|Speed}} than its other forms (being the Pokémon with the highest Speed) and learns many increased [[priority]] moves.

Deoxys has the same {{stat|HP}} stat in all of its forms.

===Burmy and Wormadam{{anchor|Burmy}}{{anchor|Wormadam}}===
Both {{p|Burmy}} and its female evolution, {{p|Wormadam}}, have three separate forms. Burmy can change form freely, changing its cloak depending on the environment in which it last participated in a battle (so [[Exp. Share]] alone will not change its form). Wormadam cannot change form; when a Burmy evolves into Wormadam, it retains its cloak.

Apart from {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[evolution]], Burmy's cloak is purely cosmetic; conversely, different cloaks of Wormadam have different [[type]]s, stats and learnsets. Bred Burmy will have the same cloak as the mother, will be in the same cloak as a Burmy or Wormadam bred with Ditto, or will be in Plant Cloak if bred from a {{p|Mothim}} and a {{p|Ditto}}.

If a Burmy last battled in a grassy area or water, it changes into its Plant Cloak. If female, Plant Cloak Burmy will evolve into Plant Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of leaves and twigs.

If a Burmy last battled in a sandy or rocky area, it changes into its Sandy Cloak. If female, Sandy Cloak Burmy will evolve into Sandy Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of sand and rocks.

If a Burmy last battled in a building or urban area, it changes into its Trash Cloak. If female, Trash Cloak Burmy will evolve into Trash Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of pink {{wp|building insulation|insulation}}.

===Cherrim===
{{p|Cherrim}} changes form depending on the [[weather]]. During [[harsh sunlight]], it changes into Sunshine Form; otherwise, it is in its Overcast Form. Due to its Ability {{a|Flower Gift}}, its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} will also increase in its Sunshine Form.

In Generation IV, Cherrim changes form independently of its Ability. Starting in Generation V, it is Cherrim's Ability that changes its form.

In Japanese, the names of Cherrim's forms use 「フォルム」 ''form'', the term otherwise only used in the names of forms localized as Forme in English.

===Shellos and Gastrodon{{anchor|Shellos}}{{anchor|Gastrodon}}===
{{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} differ in appearance depending on where they were caught. This is purely a cosmetic difference, and these Pokémon cannot change between forms.

In [[Sinnoh]], West Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are encountered west of [[Mt. Coronet]], and are pink in color; East Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are encountered east of Mt. Coronet, and are blue in color. There is also a slight difference in bodily appearance depending on the form.

In other regions, only one form appears in the wild per game. In [[Generation VI]] [[Hoenn]], Shellos appears as a {{DL|DexNav|hidden Pokémon}}, with West Sea appearing in Omega Ruby and East Sea appearing in Alpha Sapphire. Gastrodon only appears in its West Sea form in [[Kalos]]'s [[Friend Safari]]. In [[Alola]], only East Sea Shellos and Gastrodon appear in the wild.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Shellos are the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Shellos or Gastrodon parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

===Rotom===
{{redirect|Heat|the Badge given by [[Flannery]]|Badge#Heat Badge|Badge → Heat Badge}}
[[File:Rotom parts.png|thumb|Rotom and the appliances]]
{{p|Rotom}} has five alternate forms it can change between, in addition to its normal form. To take on these alternate forms, Rotom possesses a different {{wp|household appliance}}, and each has its own special [[move]]. These alternate forms were introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.

*When Rotom has not possessed an appliance it is {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}
*Heat Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|microwave oven}}, knows {{m|Overheat}} and is {{2t|Electric|Fire}}
*Wash Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|washing machine}}, knows {{m|Hydro Pump}} and is {{2t|Electric|Water}}
*Frost Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|refrigerator}}, knows {{m|Blizzard}} and is {{2t|Electric|Ice}}
*Fan Rotom, which has possessed an {{wp|mechanical fan|electric fan}}, knows {{m|Air Slash}} and is {{2t|Electric|Flying}}
*Mow Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|lawn mower|lawnmower}}, knows {{m|Leaf Storm}} and is {{2t|Electric|Grass}}

In [[Generation IV]], all forms of Rotom are {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}-type; from Generation V onward, the appliance forms replace the Ghost type with the type of their associated move. All appliance forms have the same base stats, with a higher total than that of Rotom's regular form; the only base stat of normal Rotom that is higher than its appliance forms is its Speed.

*In Pokémon Platinum, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], which can only be accessed by using the {{si|Secret Key}}.
*In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in [[Silph Co.]], which can be accessed when entering the broken elevator with Rotom as the [[walking Pokémon]].
*In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of [[Shopping Mall Nine]].
*In {{g|X and Y}}, the appliances are located in boxes on the second floor of the Sycamore Pokémon Lab in [[Lumiose City]].
*In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the appliances are located in boxes in [[Professor Birch]]'s lab in [[Littleroot Town]].
*In {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the appliances are located in boxes in [[Professor Kukui]]'s lab in [[Alola Route 1|Hau'oli Outskirts]].
Using these locations, Rotom can also return the appliance to change back to normal form.

Upon changing from an appliance form, it will forget the special move associated with that appliance form. Upon changing into an appliance form, it will learn the special move associated with the form. When changing form, if Rotom knows four moves but not the special move of its previous form, the player will be prompted to replace a move with the new exclusive move (Rotom cannot change to an appliance form unless it does). If Rotom's only known move is its special move and it changes to its normal form, then the Rotom will learn {{m|Thunder Shock}}. In [[Generation IV]] and {{gen|V}}, if Rotom forgets the move that is tied to its appliance form, it changes back into its normal form; in Generation VI, Rotom can remain in an appliance form even if it forgets the associated special move.

[[Pokémon Egg|Hatched]] Rotom are always in normal form.

In [[Generation IV]], Rotom changes back to its normal form when taken into the [[Union Room]] or [[Wi-Fi Club]], or when deposited in the {{pkmn|Day Care}}.

Rotom's appliance forms first appeared as silhouettes in August 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, with a statement that indicated that these Pokémon would be in the game. Days before the game's release, it was revealed that these Pokémon were the alternate forms of Rotom. These new forms made their debut in Pokémon Platinum, and have been included in every [[core series]] game since.

===Giratina===
{{p|Giratina}} has two forms it can change between. The Origin Forme was introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.

In the [[Pokémon world]], it is normally in its Altered Forme, which is a winged hexapod; in the [[Distortion World]] or while holding a [[Griseous Orb]], it is in its Origin Forme, which is serpentine with six appendages.

The two forms have different stats and Abilities; the Origin Forme is more offense-oriented, while the Altered Forme is more defense-oriented.

===Shaymin===
{{p|Shaymin}} has two forms it can change between. The Sky Forme was introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.

Normally, Shaymin is in its Land Forme, which is {{type|Grass}} and resembles a hedgehog. When exposed to a [[Gracidea]], Shaymin transforms into its Sky Forme, which is {{2t|Grass|Flying}}-type and white in color.

Sky Forme Shaymin will change back into its Land Forme at night or if it is {{status|frozen}} (and cannot change into Sky Forme while either is the case); Shaymin also changes back to Land Forme when deposited in the [[PC]] (prior to Generation VII), when withdrawn from the PC (Generation VII), when deposited in [[Pokémon Bank]], or when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]]/[[Pokémon Nursery]].

The two forms have different stats, {{Abilities}}, [[type]]s, learnsets, and [[cry|cries]].

===Arceus===
{{p|Arceus}} has eighteen different type form variations, which correspond to the eighteen different [[type]]s.

Arceus's type depends on its held [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]], becoming the same type as the type that Plate enhances or the Z-Crystal corresponds to, remaining {{type|Normal}} when not holding a Plate or Z-Crystal.

While its base stats remain constant despite its changing type, its [[Pokéathlon]] performance differs. Additionally, it can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} only while holding the [[Draco Plate]].

In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is unused data and a sprite programmed for a {{type|???}} {{p|Arceus}}, but it cannot be obtained in the games as there is no ???-type Plate. This data no longer exists in [[Generation V]] due to the removal of the ??? type.

Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Arceus's alternate forms are not registered in the [[Pokédex]].

===Basculin===
{{p|Basculin}} has two different forms, the Red-Striped Form and the Blue-Striped Form. The Red-Striped Form has a red stripe with wide eyes and spiky fins; the Blue-Striped Form has a blue stripe with squinted eyes and smooth fins. These forms are non-interchangeable.

*In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black}} and {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2}}, red-striped Basculin can be encountered normally, while blue-striped Basculin can only be encountered by {{m|surf}}ing on or [[fishing]] in [[Phenomenon|rippling water]].
*In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon White}} and {{game|Black and White|s 2|White 2}}, blue-striped Basculin can be encountered normally, while red-striped Basculin can only be encountered by surfing on or fishing in rippling water.
*In {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X}}, blue-striped Basculin can only be encountered using a {{DL|Fishing|Good Rod}} while red-striped Basculin can only be encountered using a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}}. This order is reversed in {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon Y}}, with red-striped Basculin requiring a Good Rod and blue-striped Basculin requiring a Super Rod. {{rt|21|Kalos}} is the exception, where only red-striped Basculin can be caught with either rod.
*In {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun}}, red-striped Basculin can be found by fishing while blue-striped Basculin must be traded for. This is reversed in {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Moon}}, with only blue-striped Basculin being found naturally.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Basculin are the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Basculin parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

Wild red-striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a [[Deep Sea Tooth]] while wild blue-striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a [[Deep Sea Scale]].

In Pokémon Black and White, blue-striped Basculin have the same two standard possible Abilities as red-striped Basculin—{{a|Reckless}} and {{a|Adaptability}} (and are listed as such in [[Pokédex 3D]]); however, the blue-striped Basculin that can be obtained via in-game trade in Pokémon White has the Ability {{a|Rock Head}}. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, wild blue-striped Basculin's two standard possible Abilities are {{a|Rock Head}} and {{a|Adaptability}}, while red-striped Basculin's stay the same (and are listed as such in [[Pokédex 3D Pro]]); however, blue-striped Basculin [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 have Reckless and Adaptability as their two standard Abilities. When a blue-striped Basculin with Reckless is transferred from [[Generation V]] to [[Generation VI]], its Ability is changed to Rock Head.

===Darmanitan===
If {{p|Darmanitan}} has {{a|Zen Mode}} as its Ability, it changes from Standard Mode into Zen Mode when its HP drops to below half in battle. It can only remain in Zen Mode in battle.

Standard Mode Darmanitan is {{type|Fire}} and red in color. Zen Mode Darmanitan is {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}-type and blue in color.

The two forms have different stats, such that Zen Mode Darmanitan swaps the Attack and Special Attack of Standard Mode, and has higher defenses but lower Speed.

===Deerling and Sawsbuck{{anchor|Deerling}}{{anchor|Sawsbuck}}===
{{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} have four different interchangeable forms, each corresponding to a [[seasons|season]]. These forms are purely cosmetic.

In the [[Generation V]] games, Deerling and Sawsbuck will only change their form to match the current season if they are in the player's [[party]] when: the player steps outside from a [[cave]] or building such that the season changes, the player receives an {{pkmn|Egg}} from the [[Pokémon Day Care|Day-Care]] Man, or a saved game is loaded. All wild, [[Pokémon breeding|bred]], or NPC Trainer-owned Deerling and Sawsbuck will match the current season, with the exception of Trainers in the [[Battle Subway]] and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] where these Pokémon are always in Spring Form.

In [[Generation VI]], all wild and NPC Trainer-owned Deerling and Sawsbuck appear in Spring Form. Because seasons have been abandoned as a mechanic, Deerling and Sawsbuck do not change appearance, and their Summer, Autumn, and Winter forms must be [[Poké Transporter|transferred]] from a [[Generation V]] game. Bred Deerling are the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Deerling or Sawsbuck parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

===Forces of Nature{{anchor|Tornadus}}{{anchor|Thundurus}}{{anchor|Landorus}}===
The [[Forces of Nature]]—{{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}—have two interchangeable forms each.

Normally, they are in their Incarnate Forme. When exposed to a [[Reveal Glass]], they change into their Therian Forme. Their Therian Formes were introduced in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].

The two forms have different stats, {{Abilities}}, and [[cry|cries]]. Even if they have their Hidden Ability, in Therian Forme each Pokémon only has one possible Ability.

In the [[Generation V]] games, they cannot be traded while in their Therian Forme.

===Kyurem===
{{p|Kyurem}}, in addition to its normal form, has two other forms: White Kyurem and Black Kyurem. They are the [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], which they were introduced in.

In the games, Kyurem changes its form through the use of the [[DNA Splicers]], which fuses it with {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}. The combination retains Kyurem's Poké Ball and [[held item]]. This fusion is reversible, with Reshiram or Zekrom remaining unaltered from before being fused, including whatever item it may have been holding. The DNA Splicers can only fuse one Kyurem at a time. White Kyurem and Black Kyurem cannot be deposited into [[Pokémon Bank]], nor can they be [[trade]]d.

White Kyurem has the Ability {{a|Turboblaze}}, learns the moves {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Ice Burn}}, and its cry is a combination of normal Kyurem and Reshiram's cries.

Black Kyurem has the Ability {{a|Teravolt}}, learns the moves {{m|Fusion Bolt}} and {{m|Freeze Shock}}, and its cry is a combination of normal Kyurem and Zekrom's cries.

===Keldeo===
{{p|Keldeo}} has two interchangeable forms: Ordinary Form and Resolute Form. These forms are mostly cosmetic. The Resolute Form was introduced in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].

If Keldeo is taught {{m|Secret Sword}} from Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 onward, it will change into Resolute Form. If it forgets Secret Sword, it returns to Ordinary Form. Keldeo taught Secret Sword in {{game|Black and White|s}} remain in Ordinary Form in other games.

===Meloetta===
{{p|Meloetta}} has two interchangeable forms: Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme. Aria Forme is {{2t|Normal|Psychic}}. Pirouette Forme is {{2t|Normal|Fighting}}.

Normally, it is in Aria Forme, which is the only form it can take outside of battle. If Meloetta uses the move {{m|Relic Song}} in battle, it changes between the two forms. It reverts to Aria Forme if withdrawn.

===Genesect===
In the games, {{p|Genesect}} changes forms when a [[Drive]] is attached to its back. These forms have no direct effect, although they do change the type of Genesect's [[signature move]] {{m|Techno Blast}}.

*If no Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Normal}} and Genesect will appear to have a dark yellow Drive.
*If a [[Shock Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Electric}} and Genesect will appear to have a light yellow Drive.
*If a [[Burn Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Fire}} and Genesect will appear to have a red Drive.
*If a [[Chill Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Ice}} and Genesect will appear to have an ice blue Drive.
*If a [[Douse Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Water}} and Genesect will appear to have a blue Drive.

Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Genesect's alternate appearances are not registered in the [[Pokédex]].

===Greninja===
{{Redirect|Ash-Greninja|the Greninja that belonged to [[Ash Ketchum]]|Ash's Greninja}}
In the [[S19|''XY&Z'' arc]] of the {{pkmn|anime}}'s {{series|XY}}, [[Ash's Greninja]] gained the ability to transform into a stronger form known as "Ash-Greninja" through an occurrence known as the [[Bond Phenomenon]]. In the games, a {{p|Greninja}} with the Ability {{a|Battle Bond}} will transform into Ash-Greninja after it causes an opponent to [[fainting|faint]]. In this form, the move {{m|Water Shuriken}} will become more powerful and always hit 3 times. Greninja will stay in this form until the end of battle or it faints. A {{p|Greninja}} with Battle Bond can be transferred to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] from the [[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version|Special Demo Version]].

Internally, normal Greninja with Battle Bond are considered a separate form than that of Greninja with {{a|Torrent}} or {{a|Protean}}. These Greninja are always [[gender|male]] and cannot {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}.

===Vivillon===
{{p|Vivillon}} has 18 different distinct patterns depending on the set geographic location of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] system on which the {{p|Scatterbug}} was generated (for {{pkmn|Egg}}s, this means the game in which the Egg was created). This form cannot be changed. The pattern of Vivillon encountered within a game is set when the save file is created.

Bred {{p|Scatterbug}} will evolve into {{p|Vivillon}} with the same pattern as that of the breeding player's game, regardless of its parents.

===Flabébé, Floette, and Florges{{anchor|Flabébé}}{{anchor|Floette}}{{anchor|Florges}}===
{{p|Flabébé}}, {{p|Floette}}, and {{p|Florges}} can hold five different-colored flowers: red, yellow, orange, blue, and white. The flower color is maintained through [[evolution]] and cannot be changed.

In {{g|X and Y}}, Flabébé appear in the wild in {{DL|Tall grass|flowers}}, with the colors of Flabébé's flower available depending on the flower patch (although each flower patch has multiple Flabébé flower colors). In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, wild Flabébé appear in Alola's three meadows, with the color of wild Flabébé's flowers depending on the meadow's flowers' color (Yellow Flower in [[Melemele Meadow]], Red Flower in [[Ula'ula Meadow]], Blue Flower in [[Poni Meadow]]); Orange and White Flower Flabébé exclusively appear as allies called in an [[SOS Battle]], and can be called by any Flabébé regardless of location.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Flabébé have the same color flower as their mother, or the same form as the Flabébé, Floette, and Florges parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

In [[Generation VI]], since only Blue Flower, Red Flower, and Yellow Flower Floette can appear in the [[Friend Safari]], only these forms of Flabébé, Floette and Florges can have their Hidden Ability {{a|Symbiosis}}. In [[Generation VII]], all forms of the Flabébé evolutionary line can have their Hidden Ability.

[[File:AZ's Floette.png|thumb|200px|AZ's unique Floette]]
In the storyline of {{g|X and Y}}, there is also a unique Floette who [[AZ]] befriended 3,000 years ago. The flower it wields has a different design than normal, resembling the structure of the ancient [[ultimate weapon]] constructed by AZ; the flower also has a blue, red, and white color instead of green, yellow, and white, reflecting the colors of the {{wp|Flag of France|French tricolor}}. The [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} games include unused data for a trainable unique Floette. Unlike the other forms, it can learn the move {{m|Light of Ruin}}, and is the [[Signature move|only Pokémon able to do so]].

===Furfrou===
{{p|Furfrou}} can be groomed into one of ten different trims. These trims only last for five days after being groomed. Furfrou will also lose its trim when it is deposited in the [[PC]] (prior to Generation VII), withdrawn from the PC (Generation VII), deposited in [[Pokémon Bank]], or deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]]/[[Pokémon Nursery]].

The location at which Furfrou can be groomed differs between games.
*In {{g|X and Y}}, Furfrou can be groomed at {{DL|Lumiose City|Friseur Furfrou}} in [[Lumiose City]] for {{PDollar}}500. The player gains access to more trims as they become more [[Lumiose City#Style|stylish]].
*In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Furfrou can be groomed at the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Slateport City]] for {{PDollar}}500.
*In {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, for {{PDollar}}500 Furfrou can be groomed by a {{tc|Punk Girl}} at [[Malie City]]'s salon or a {{tc|Beauty}} at [[Hau'oli City]]'s salon{{sup/7|USUM}}.

Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Furfrou's trims are not registered in the [[Pokédex]].

===Aegislash===
{{p|Aegislash}}, due to its Ability {{a|Stance Change}}, can change forms in battle depending on the move it uses. Initially in Shield Forme, using a damaging move will change it to Blade Forme, while using {{m|King's Shield}} will change it back into Shield Forme. Outside of battle it is always in Shield Forme.

Shield Forme Aegislash has high {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, while Blade Forme Aegislash has high {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}.

===Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist{{anchor|Pumpkaboo}}{{anchor|Gourgeist}}===
{{p|Pumpkaboo}} and {{p|Gourgeist}} can be of Small, Average, Large and Super Size. Larger sizes of Pumpkaboo are rarer to encounter in the wild.

Different sizes have different base stats. For Pumpkaboo, with each increase in size, its base HP stat increases by 5 points while its base Speed stat decreases by 5 points. For Gourgeist, with each increase in size, its base HP stat increases by 10 points and its base Attack stat increases by 5 points while its base Speed stat decreases by 15 points. Consequently, the base stat total of a Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist does not vary with size.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Pumpkaboo are the same size as their mother, or the same form as the Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

Wild Super Size Pumpkaboo will always hold a {{DL|Type-enhancing held item|Miracle Seed}}, whereas other sizes will never hold an item in the wild. Super Size variants have different, lower pitched cries than the other forms.

Only Average Size and Super Size Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist can have their Hidden Ability {{a|Insomnia}}. Average Size can be obtained with its Hidden Ability from the [[Friend Safari]]; Super Size could be obtained with its Hidden Ability from {{pkmn2|event}}s.

The different sizes of Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist do not use different menu sprites.

===Xerneas===
{{p|Xerneas}} has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in battle, and appears in Neutral Mode in situations outside of battle, such as cutscenes, the Pokédex, the [[Party|Pokémon]] screen, and [[Pokémon-Amie]]. According to the Pokédex, Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.

Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, the protrusions on its horns as well as its back spots light up in several colors.

===Zygarde===
{{p|Zygarde}} has three different Formes, as well as two distinct constituent parts. The 50% Forme debuted in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. The other two Formes and both constituent parts debuted in the {{pkmn|anime}} during the ''{{DL|List of XY series episodes|XY&Z}}'' arc of the {{series|XY}}, and made their [[core series]] debut in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].

A Zygarde Cell is a single cell of Zygarde. They can be found scattered throughout the region. They do not have thoughts or will, and can communicate with Zygarde Cores via telepathy. They are incapable of performing [[move]]s.

A Zygarde Core is a "brain" of Zygarde. They can communicate with Zygarde Cells and other Cores via telepathy. They take action when the region's ecosystem is threatened.

Zygarde 10% Forme is a Zygarde with 10% of its cells. It has razor-sharp teeth, and can reach speeds up to 60 mph (100 km/h). It can change into Complete Forme with its Ability {{a|Power Construct}}.

Zygarde 50% Forme is a Zygarde with 50% of its cells. It watches over and maintains the local ecosystem. It can change into Complete Forme with its Ability {{a|Power Construct}}.

In battle, a Zygarde with the {{a|Power Construct}} Ability will change into Complete Forme when its HP falls below half in a battle.

Zygarde Complete Forme is a Zygarde with 100% of its cells. Zygarde only takes on this form when the ecosystem is under threat and it believes Zygarde 50% Forme is unable to deal with it. Its power is said to exceed that of {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], the Aether Base on {{rt|16|Alola}} on [[Ula'ula Island]] contains a Reassembly Unit, which can be used to create Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde 50% Forme from Zygarde Cells and Cores in the player's [[Zygarde Cube]], or disassemble Zygarde with Aura Break back into Cells and Cores (Zygarde with Power Construct cannot be separated).

The player can create any number of Zygarde using the Reassembly Unit as long they have enough Cores and Cells. A Zygarde 10% Forme with Aura Break can be assembled with 10 Cells and Cores, a Zygarde 50% Forme with Aura Break can be assembled with 50 Cells and Cores, and a Zygarde 50% Forme with Power Construct can be assembled with 100 Cells and Cores. The Zygarde Cube can be used to change a Zygarde with Power Construct between 10% Forme and 50% Forme; Zygarde with Aura Break cannot change forms.

While only 100 Cells and Cores are normally available in one save file, the player can obtain more by separating Zygarde with Aura Break from other games. A Zygarde separated into Cells will be lost forever.

In Pokémon Sun and Moon, the player can collect Zygarde Cells and Cores in the overworld throughout the Alola region after obtaining the [[Zygarde Cube]]. There are a total of 5 Cores and 95 Cells throughout the region.

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player can catch a wild Zygarde 50% Forme in [[Resolution Cave]] on [[Poni Island]]; after the player catches this Zygarde, [[Dexio]] will battle the player on {{rt|16|Alola}}, and upon being defeated he will give the player the Zygarde Cube (containing 40 Zygarde Cells) and Zygarde 10% Forme.

===Hoopa===
{{p|Hoopa}} has two Formes it can change between, using the [[Prison Bottle]] to temporarily change to its more powerful Forme.

Normally, Hoopa Confined is the Forme taken by Hoopa, which is {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}}. When exposed to a [[Prison Bottle]], Hoopa transforms into Hoopa Unbound, which is {{2t|Psychic|Dark}}. Hoopa Unbound was introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

Hoopa Unbound will change back into Hoopa Confined after three days have passed since using the Prison Bottle; Hoopa also changes back to Hoopa Confined when deposited in the [[PC]] (prior to Generation VII), when withdrawn from the PC (Generation VII), when deposited in [[Pokémon Bank]], or when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]]/[[Pokémon Nursery]].

The two forms have different stats, [[type]]s, learnsets, and [[cry|cries]]. Unlike other Pokémon with form differences, Hoopa has more than one [[Pokémon category|category]].

===Oricorio===
{{p|Oricorio}} has four distinct styles. Depending on which island the player is on, the form that is encountered will be different. Baile Style is only found on [[Ula'ula Island]], Pom-Pom Style on [[Melemele Island]], Pa'u Style on [[Akala Island]], and Sensu Style on [[Poni Island]]. Oricorio can manually change forms by sipping the [[nectar]] of certain flowers. Each of Oricorio's four styles has a different primary type; Oricorio's [[signature move]] {{m|Revelation Dance}} changes type to match the user's primary type.

The forms have different [[type]]s and [[cry|cries]].

===Lycanroc{{anchor|Rockruff}}===

{{p|Minior}} has two forms that it changes between with its Ability, {{a|Shields Down}}. It will change from Core Form to Meteor Form at the start of a battle or at the end of a turn if its {{stat|HP}} is above 50% of its maximum HP.

===Mimikyu===
{{p|Mimikyu}} has two forms called Disguised Form and Busted Form. When a Mimikyu in Disguised Form that has the {{a|Disguise}} Ability is hit by a damaging attack, it does not take damage and instead transforms into Busted Form. In Busted Form, its disguise slumps to the side and it can be damaged by normal means. Mimikyu will stay in Busted Form until either it faints or the battle ends.

===Necrozma===
{{p|Necrozma}} has three additional forms; Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma. All three forms were introduced in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].

Dusk Mane Necrozma is the form it attains from absorbing Solgaleo. The player can induce this fusion with the [[N-Solarizer]]. After fusing, Necrozma will attempt to learn {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}, and can use Solgaleo's exclusive Z-Move, {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}. Its cry is a combination of normal Necrozma and Solgaleo's cries.

Dawn Wings Necrozma is the form it attains from absorbing Lunala. The player can induce this fusion with the [[N-Lunarizer]]. After fusing, Necrozma will attempt to learn {{m|Moongeist Beam}}, and can use Lunala's exclusive Z-Move, {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}. Its cry is a combination of normal Necrozma and Lunala's cries.

Ultra Necrozma is a third form Necrozma can only enter in {{pkmn|battle}} as one of the previous two forms. While holding its exclusive [[Z-Crystal]], [[Ultranecrozium Z]], the player can use the [[Ultra Burst]] command from the move menu to transform into Ultra Necrozma. Once transformed, Ultra Necrozma can also use Ultranecrozium Z and {{m|Photon Geyser}} to use its exclusive Z-Move, {{m|Light That Burns the Sky}}.

===Magearna===
{{p|Magearna}} has an alternate form called Original Color Magearna. The only difference between Magearna's forms is aesthetic: the Original Color form is red and gold. The Original Color form cannot be legitimately obtained, and has only appeared in an official capacity in the {{pkmn|anime}} {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.

==Form-like transformations==
Some Pokémon have transformations that may resemble forms and have official names, but they do not register as discrete forms in the Pokédex.

===Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem===
{{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, [[#Kyurem|White Kyurem, and Black Kyurem]] enter Overdrive mode when their emotions surge, lighting parts of their bodies in flames or electricity in the process. Reshiram and Zekrom enter Overdrive mode when using their [[signature move]]s ({{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Blue Flare}} for Reshiram, {{m|Fusion Bolt}} and {{m|Bolt Strike}} for Zekrom) and are usually not in Overdrive mode otherwise. Black and White Kyurem, however, are always in Overdrive mode in battle.

===Solgaleo and Lunala===
{{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} enter special phases when using their powers, shining brighter than normal. Solgaleo's phase is called the Radiant Sun phase, while Lunala's is the Full Moon phase. They both enter this phase while in [[Ultra Space]] (although not while in battle) or when using their signature moves. For Solgaleo, these moves are {{m|Sunsteel Strike}} and {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}; for Lunala, these are {{m|Moongeist Beam}} and {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}.

'''Bellchime Trail''' (Japanese: '''スズねのこみち''' ''{{wp|Suzu|Bell}} Chime Trail'') is a short path in [[Ecruteak City]] that joins the Barrier Station to the [[Bell Tower]]. While not named until {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it existed in the [[Generation II]] games simply as part of [[Ecruteak City]]'s main area. It does not appear on the [[Pokégear]]'s map in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, which states the {{player}}'s location as "Bell Tower". Despite this, there is an area description hidden in the game's data for use on the map.

The location, which features trees in autumn colors year-round, has little of interest aside from the Bell Tower itself, though several hidden [[item]]s are located here in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

There are no {{pkmn2|wild}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on this short path. No background music plays while here; the only audible sound effect is that of the player walking.

[[Morty]] can be found here on {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}}s and {{DL|Days of the week|Tuesday}}s and can be registered in the Pokégear before disembarking.

==Blurb==

As Team Rocket trudges through Sinnoh, they run into the Magikarp Salesman who's tricked them so many times before. This time, he cons them into buying an Evolution machine that will evolve a Pokémon at any time—or so he says. Elsewhere, Ash and his friends hear about the B-Button League, a group of Coordinators who never evolve their Pokémon. The rumors say they have a beautiful Feebas and a powerful Magikarp, so Ash and his friends go to check it out.

The B-Button League is headed by a girl named Haley, and she and her sister Oralie do indeed have a very fine Feebas and Magikarp. Team Rocket sneaks in to watch Dawn and Ash test their Pokémon against Oralie's Magikarp; not only does Magikarp defeat Piplup, it's strong enough to give Pikachu a run for its money! Team Rocket is so impressed, they grab Magikarp and Feebas on the spot, then take Pikachu too when it tries to stop them.

Now Team Rocket prepares to use their new machine to evolve all three Pokémon, much to our heroes' dismay. But the Evolution machine doesn't work at all! However, Team Rocket has a plan B: their new machine can also transform into a tough-looking robot. Too bad for them that the robot quickly falls apart, being just another sales scam. Oralie and Haley have Feebas and Magikarp help Pikachu defeat Team Rocket, and then our heroes can happily continue on their way to Floaroma Town!

==Plot==
The episode opens with {{TRT}} hiking along a [[route]], nearly exhausted. A {{p|Magikarp}} lands in [[James]]'s hands as they run into [[Magikarp salesman|a man advertising a Magikarp]]. Team Rocket recognizes him as the same salesman that [[EP015|conned them]] [[AG079|many times before]], James promptly tossing the Magikarp in his face. They try to get their [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] back, but the salesman manages to change the subject, discussing an [[evolution]]-inducing machine. He tells them about a company that developed the prototype machine, but the company went bankrupt. The workers developed the technology more so the salesman can get one. Team Rocket decides to take the plans for building the machine. Before he runs off, the salesman warns them that after they build it, they need to wait a week before using the machine.

Meanwhile, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} return to [[Jubilife City]] in order to reach [[Floaroma Town]]. While walking, a TV crew from the Jubilife Sinnoh Today Show asks Ash if he would evolve his {{AP|Pikachu}}, which his response is not without checking with Pikachu. They believe he is with the [[B-Button League]]. When {{an|Dawn}} asks about the club, the reporter explains that they are a group of {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s in Jubilife that compete without evolving their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and that the group has a very powerful Magikarp and {{p|Feebas}}. Ash and his friends head to the location and meet the leader [[Haley]] and her sister [[Oralie]]. {{an|Brock}}’s usual attraction is stopped by {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}'s {{m|Poison Jab|jab}}.

Inside, they approach a pool as Haley activates a remote, raising the pool and showing their Magikarp and Feebas. While Ash and Dawn check their [[Pokédex]]es, Haley and Oralie discuss their beliefs that Pokémon can be strong without evolving, desiring to make their Magikarp and Feebas as strong as possible, similar to Ash and Pikachu. Ash asks for a {{pkmn|battle}} against Magikarp, but Dawn manages to go first, wanting to test {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}’s battle skill in water. A [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] Team Rocket shows up as a fake C-button league. They put up a guise of wanting to research the group.

Piplup jumps into the pool as Oralie's Magikarp prepares to duel. Piplup uses {{m|Peck}} but Magikarp dodges underwater. Both swim strong underwater, but Magikarp easily dodges Piplup’s attack and jumps out of the water. Piplup fires {{m|BubbleBeam}} to the surface as Magikarp swats it away and dives down, {{m|Tackle|tackling}} Piplup and slamming it around the pool walls before sending it into the ceiling. It lands in the water and floats to the surface, [[fainting|knocked out]]. Though stunned at how powerful Magikarp is, Ash still wants to take his chance against Magikarp with Pikachu.

Pikachu fires {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Magikarp jumps into the air and spins to dodge. It comes down with Tackle, and although Pikachu tries to dodge, Magikarp still hits, slamming Pikachu into the edge of the pool. Pikachu clings onto the edge before retaliating with {{m|Quick Attack}}. Magikarp meets it head on with Tackle, but Pikachu switches to {{m|Iron Tail}}. Both attacks hit and create an explosion, tossing both Pokémon into the pool. Pikachu gets back onto the island and Magikarp resurfaces, both exhausted.

After the battle, Haley and Oralie offer Ash and his friends lunch. As they turn to offer the C-button league, they spot Team Rocket stealing Magikarp and Feebas. Team Rocket removes their disguises and recites their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]]. As Team Rocket flees, the group follows. Brock vows to help, but Croagunk jabs him cold, which causes Dawn to scold the Pokémon for behaving rashly. The group follows [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket’s balloon]] outside as Ash sends {{AP|Staravia}} to pursue. They wind up outside the city as Staravia leads the group to a small cabin along a river.

Inside, they find Team Rocket with their evolution-inducing machine, preparing to put Magikarp inside. Haley and Oralie protest the evolution, which would undo their {{pkmn|training}} efforts. Ash has Pikachu attempt Thunderbolt, but Team Rocket captures Pikachu in a capsule, wanting to evolve Pikachu as well. They drop a cage on top of Ash and his friends, pinning them as they activate the machine. They try to evolve Magikarp into {{p|Gyarados}}, but Magikarp pops out unchanged. They try the process again, but it also fails. Team Rocket switches gears and tries to evolve Pikachu into {{p|Raichu}}, but it also fails. {{MTR}} realizes that the salesman's warning about waiting a week was accurate because otherwise the machine would fail.

While Team Rocket argues, Ash orders Pikachu to use {{m|Iron Tail}} to break the cage. Meowth activates a switch to turn the machine into a mecha, destroying the cabin and unveiling the mecha. However, the machine implodes into dust, as it needs to execute a successful evolution. Haley and Oralie decide to exact retribution with Magikarp’s {{m|Tackle}} and Feebas’s {{m|Ice Beam}}, Pikachu finishing with {{m|Thunderbolt}} to blast Team Rocket off. Afterward, Ash and his friends return to the city and head off to Floaroma Town.

* [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]]: [[Dawn's Pachirisu]]
* Pokémon senryū: パチリスが　おめめさめたよ　パッチリす ''Pachirisu ga / Omemesameta yo / Patchiri su''
* The title card is read by [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}, and, in the dub, sung to the tune of {{wp|The Beatles}}' ''{{wp|Revolution (song)|Revolution}}'' (as well as the slower version of the song, ''{{wp|Revolution 1}}''), which the episode title references. Jessie sings the title solo in the European Portuguese dub.
* The educational magazine James subscribed to as a child, 実験と自習 ''Experimentation and Self-Study'', is a parody of the magazine 科学と学習 ''Science and Education''.
* Music from ''[[PK12|Gotta Dance!]]'' and the title theme from ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' is used as background music.
* The remote control for the evolution machine looks similar to a [[Wii]] Remote, and even has the wrist strap. Also, when Meowth presses the button on the remote to transform the machine into the robot, just after the click, he says "whee", sounding like "Wii".
* Team Rocket trying to use a machine that induces evolution, and the fact they try to use it on a Magikarp to evolve it into a Gyarados, could be a reference to the {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games, where Team Rocket used a machine at [[Lake of Rage]] to try to force Magikarp to evolve into Gyarados.
** This episode is also similar to ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' where an evolution inducing machine was also used. The title of this episode is also similar to that of said previous episode.
[[File:DP021 error.png|thumb|200px|Piplup's crown is white instead of blue, and Magikarp's bottom fin is white instead of yellow]]
* Team Rocket tries to evolve Pikachu in this episode, but they say they don't want it to evolve [[DP074|53 episodes after]].
* Strangely, this episode was not included in the Japanese rental DVDs.
* As the Magikarp Salesman is talking about the years of top-secret research, a hexagon-shaped building is shown. This is a possible reference to the Pentagon, a United States government building.
* [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] doesn't appear in this episode.
* The name of the B-Button League refers to the fact that in the games, the B button is used to stop evolution.

=== Errors ===
* When Team Rocket is waving goodbye to the Magikarp Salesman, James' black shirt is white.
* When Magikarp uses {{m|Tackle}} on Piplup, Piplup's crown above its beak is white.
** Magikarp's bottom fin is also white instead of yellow.
* After Dawn lets Piplup out of its Poké Ball, Team Rocket, dressed up as the C-Button League appears, and Piplup disappears. It reappears in the next scene.

List of Team Rocket's disguises

2017-01-10T23:07:46Z

Lego3400: /* {{series|XY}} */

[[File:Best Wishes Team Rocket.png|thumb|250px|Team Rocket's disguises in the {{series|Best Wishes}}|250px]]
In the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Team Rocket]] members often use a variety of disguises in order to carry out their schemes, the most well-known example of this being those of [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}. A running gag involving Jessie, James, and Meowth is no matter how obvious or see-through their disguises are, Ash and his friends never wise up until it is too late.

==[[Original series]]==
===[[Kanto]]===
*''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'': Jessie, James, and Meowth appear in black {{wp|Ōendan}} outfits, complete with hats, black shades, and a flag emblazoned with an R. Jessie's outfit has a blue undershirt, James's a red one, and Meowth's is green.
[[File:Team Rocket ganguro girls.png|thumb|250px|James thought that being a girl was "Cooooooool!"]]
*''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'': Jessie and James both disguise as teenage girls with black shoes, short skirts, and James wearing a blonde wig (somewhat resembling his regular hairdo), and Jessie an orange one (similar to her hairstyle), making this the first time James dresses like a woman in the series. Later Jessie, James and other human Team Rocket members disguise as waiters aboard the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]].
*''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'': Jessie and James both don swimsuits to enter the Swimsuit and Pokémon Costume contest, and James wears an inflatable bodysuit giving him large breasts to give him a more feminine appearance. James' disguise is notable for causing the initial ban of this episode in the United States.
*''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]'': Jessie and James are disguised as Hawaiian girls, donning flowered necklaces, green grass skirts and wigs (Jessie's is orange, James's is brown), when tricking our heroes into thinking that Ash is the millionth visitor to [[Saffron City]].
*''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-Sation]]'': Jessie and James are disguised as "[[Ashley]]'s" parents, with Jessie wearing a pink kimono robe and glasses and her hair tied up in a bun on top, and James wearing a bald cap and a fake nose and glasses with Meowth hidden under his shirt to simulate a belly
*''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'': Jessie and James are disguised as Fashion Artists. Jessie wears a black top and a red slit skirt, while James wears a long black coat and red slacks. Both also wear glasses. Meowth simply wears a blue jacket with a yellow undershirt, serving as the cashier for Salon Roquét.
*''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'': Jessie, James and Meowth enter the P1 Grand Prix with a {{p|Hitmonlee}} they stole from a tall man and swipe the man's gray trench coat and bowler hat. They stack up wearing the clothes, with Jessie at the top, to make it look like they entered the Hitmonlee themselves.
*''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'': Jessie, James and Meowth appear wearing Japanese scarves and coats upon entering the restaurant to pose as Kaz Gym bodyguards.
*''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]'': Jessie and James both disguise as punk rockers, complete with leather jackets, pierced ears, wild wigs and the like, when they let our heroes use a stage to let {{an|Jigglypuff}} {{m|Sing}}. Reused in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'' and ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]''
*''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'': Jessie and Meowth wear black "invisible" costumes and push James into his {{TP|James|parents}}' estate as Jessie tries to imitate James's voice to collect the will. The "invisible" costumes were repeated by all in the two-part Ash-Paul battle arc, ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Meddle]]'' and ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies]]''.
*''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'': Jessie and James are disguised as female egg-sellers with old-fashioned dresses, bonnets, and baskets full of fake [[Pokémon Egg]]s in an attempt to steal the {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} egg.
*''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'': Jessie and James are disguised as an elderly couple, complete with gray wigs and old-fashioned clothes. Jessie wears glasses and James wears a fake mustache.
*''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'': Jessie and James are disguised when they enter the [[Pokémon League]] test: Jessie wears a gray woman's business outfit, black skirt, glasses with her hair in braids and black Mary Jane shoes, while James also wears glasses, along with a blue suit.
**This is also one of the few times where one of the duo didn't recognize the other in disguise (James didn't recognize Jessie until after she took off her glasses).
*''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]'': Jessie and James are disguised during a fake magic act they put on for the {{tc|School Kid|schoolchildren}}, with Jessie wearing a magician's tuxedo, top hat and glasses, and James wearing a pink dress and disguised as the lovely assistant.
*''[[EP054|The Case of the K-9 Caper]]'': Jessie and James disguise themselves as Officer Jenny while using a megaphone that disguises their voices as other characters (Ash, Misty, etc.) This is repeated (along with Meowth in a costume and without the voice changing megaphone) in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]''.
*''[[EP065|Showdown at the Poké-Corall]]'': Jessie and James disguise themselves as a news crew for PNN, Pokémon News Network, and they wanted to interview Ash in a segment called ''Pokémon Masters of Tomorrow''.
**Note: This is the first time that they tricked someone onscreen who wasn't Ash and his friends. Instead, they tricked Delia into telling them where Ash is.
*''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'': Jessie is disguised in a Nurse Joy costume complete with a mask and James disguises himself as an ordinary nurse (with a surgical mask covering his mouth) at a fake Pokémon Center that they set up. Surprisingly Jessie's Nurse Joy disguise was an imitation of the real Nurse Joy's appearance where the lips did not move, which Brock took notice of.
*''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]'': Jessie, James and Meowth are disguised as pirates when they introduced themselves. These costumes would later reappear in ''[[EP193|The Dunsparce Deception]]'' and ''[[DP153|The Treasure is All Mine!]]''

===[[Johto]]===
*''[[EP123|The Spinarak Attack]]'': The trio dresses as medieval thieves stealing items akin to The Black Arachnid.
*''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]'': Jessie and James are disguised as doctors, wearing full white suits with gloves, mouth covers, and white skullcaps with red lines and a Red Cross on the front.
*''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer With Fire]]'': Jessie and James are weakly disguised as survey takers from the Pokémon Bureau.
*''[[EP132|For Crying Out Loud]]'': The trio is disguised as farmers.
*''[[EP135|Grin to Win!]]'': Meowth disguises himself as a {{p|Sunflora}}. He dressed up as a Sunflora six more times in the [[Pokémon anime]] (in ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]'', ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]'', ''[[AG116|Pacifidlog Jam]]'', ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'', ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', and ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]'').
*''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'': Jessie and James disguise themselves as inventors with a "machine" that supposedly makes the user's Pokémon stronger, but instead, winds up as empty [[Poké Ball]]s.
*''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'' : James, inspired from a phony Pokémon zodiac book given to them by Butch and Cassidy (in disguise), dresses in a {{p|Moltres}} costume for the first time. This is repeated in ''The Dunsparce Deception'' in a Pokémon stage show to the great disappointment of the children watching.
*''[[EP160|Air Time]]'': The trio disguise themselves as a ventriloquist act called "The [[Dugtrio Trio]]", with Meowth as the dummy.
*''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'': Jessie and James disguise themselves as [[Duplica]] and {{Ash}} respectively. This appears to serve no real purpose as they immediately reveal themselves to the real Duplica and Ash and are not seen in the outfits again.

'''Hidden Power''' (Japanese: '''めざめるパワー''' ''Awakening Power'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. Although it appears as a Normal-type move, Hidden Power's actual type varies. It has been [[TM10]] since Generation II.

==Effect==
{{main|Hidden Power (move)/Calculation}}
===Generations II to IV===
Hidden Power inflicts damage using a type and [[power]] determined by the user's {{IV}}s. The power varies between 31 and 70 in Generation II, and varies between 30 and 70 in Generations III to V.

Hidden Power can receive [[same-type attack bonus]]. For instance, a {{type|Bug}} Pokémon will receive same-type attack bonus when using a Bug-type Hidden Power. Although Hidden Power is Normal-type in the game's data, a {{type|Normal}} Hidden Power is not obtainable, except with {{a|Normalize}}.

Hidden Power is affected by {{a|Normalize}}.

===Generation V===
Hidden Power is no longer affected by {{a|Normalize}}.

===Generation VI onwards===
Hidden Power's base power is now always 60. The method for determining the type of Hidden Power is the same as Generation III to V, so a {{type|Fairy}} Hidden Power is not possible.

Due to never being a Normal-type move, Hidden Power is unaffected by {{a|Pixilate}}, {{a|Refrigerate}}, {{a|Aerilate}}, and {{m|Ion Deluge}}. If the user is under the effect of {{m|Electrify}}, Hidden Power's type will become {{t|Electric}}, regardless of its actual type.

Hidden Power will always be treated as a {{type|Normal}} move for [[Z-Move]]s.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
The type and base power of Hidden Power is randomly calculated whenever a Pokémon enters a dungeon, and does not change between floors. The type is selected among each of the 17 types with roughly equal probability (the game chooses from the 18 types, including the {{type|???}}, choosing again if the ???-type is chosen; if this is done 100 times consecutively, Hidden Power will be of the {{type|Fire}}). The base power of the move is chosen among the following values with equal probability: 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 15, and 17. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], Hidden Power's [[type]] is listed as "None".

===[[Pokémon Rumble series]]===
Hidden Power is randomly assigned any of the 17 types whenever a Toy Pokémon has it as one of its moves. The type does not change for as long as the Pokémon keeps the move.

==Trivia==
* Although Hidden Power is listed as a Normal-type move, it cannot inflict Normal-type damage. It also cannot become Fairy type.
* Despite the only move Unown can learn being Hidden Power—learning it at level 1—it could not learn it via [[TM]] until [[Generation VI]]. However, this makes no functional difference other than when searching by TM/HM compatibility, since Unown will always already know Hidden Power and thus be unable to learn it via TM.
* Prior to [[Generation IV]], Hidden Power was one of the only two moves (along with {{m|Weather Ball}}) which could, depending on the Pokémon, be either [[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]], due to the damage category being determined by the type.
* In [[Generation II]], [[Shiny Pokémon]] could only use a {{t|Grass}}- or {{type|Dragon}} Hidden Power due to the spread of [[individual values]] required for alternate coloration.
* It is impossible for Pokémon in the {{egg3|Undiscovered}} that are caught or obtained as a gift in [[Pokémon X and Y]] to have a {{type|Fighting}} Hidden Power. In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, this is true only for {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] in the Undiscovered Egg Group. This is because these Pokémon are guaranteed to have at least three IVs of 31, whereas a Fighting-type Hidden Power requires at least four IVs that are even numbers.
* Due to the [[List of glitches in Generation III#Roaming Pokémon encounter bug|Roaming Pokémon encounter bug]], a [[roaming Pokémon]] caught in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, or LeafGreen]] will always have a Hidden Power type of Fighting, and a power of 30 or 31.

Villainous team

2017-01-08T03:13:41Z

Lego3400:

{{incomplete|needs=This article needs quite a bit of cleanup, maybe a few images, and needs Team Debonairs and Great Rocket.}}

'''Villainous teams''' (English: '''Team ~'''; Japanese: '''{{j|～団}}''' ''-dan'') are {{wp|Organized crime|criminal terrorist organizations}} which usually act as the main antagonists in the storylines of [[Pokémon games]]. Whatever their goals in their respective games, one thing they all have in common is that they plan on achieving their results through the misuse of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==Comparisons==
While [[Team Rocket]] has vague goals and is {{wp|Mafia}}-like (or perhaps {{wp|Yakuza}}-like, considering the Japanese background), villainous teams such as [[Team Magma]], [[Team Aqua]], and [[Team Plasma]] have clear goals and are {{wp|cult}}-like, fanatically believing that achieving their goals will bring about the best interests of the people of the world. The leader of Team Galactic wishes to recreate the universe in his image with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} and/or {{p|Palkia}}; likewise, the leader of Team Flare seeks to make a beautiful world in his image by using the power of {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}} to destroy everyone except Team Flare. Team's Skull's intentions are making money for themselves. [[Cipher]] and [[Team Snagem]] work together to steal Pokémon from others and create [[Shadow Pokémon]] from them. The Go-Rock Squad plan to take over the Pokémon Rangers by capturing powerful Pokémon, making them cause disasters, then commanding the Pokémon to stop by using Stylers so they will be regarded as heroes. [[Team Dim Sun]] plans on using Pokémon to make energy for Altru Inc. and Almia. Each has an iconic leader - [[Giovanni]], [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], [[N]] and [[Ghetsis]], [[Cyrus]], [[Lysandre]], [[Guzma]], [[Lusamine]], [[Evice]] and [[Greevil]], [[Gonzap]], [[Gordor]], and [[Blake Hall]], respectively.

Team Rocket had extensive presence in [[Generation I]], including running the [[Celadon Game Corner]], invading [[Silph Co.]], and murdering [[Marowak (ghost)|at least one Pokémon]]. Even in the {{pkmn|anime}}, where law enforcement officers are clearly present, Team Rocket's activities continue largely unhindered.

By [[Generation II]], they have lost most of their power and attempted to re-group in the [[Johto]] region. They initially managed to take over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], only to be defeated by the {{player}}, forcing [[Team Rocket]] to disband yet again. 

In contrast, [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]'s crimes are more extreme, including stealing [[Peeko|a Pokémon]], a meteorite, and one [[Submarine Explorer 1|submarine]]; and causing catastrophes: halting the activity of [[Mt. Chimney|a volcano]] and causing droughts and heavy rains by awakening {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.

Like Team Rocket, [[Team Galactic]] appears to run the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. However, unlike the other teams, Team Galactic has several facilities. A warehouse and [[Team Galactic HQ|the headquarters]] are both in [[Veilstone City]], and [[Team Galactic Eterna Building|another building]] is located in [[Eterna City]]. Team Galactic is far more successful than the other teams in accomplishing their goals, as they have captured {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, created the [[Red Chain]], and temporarily capture {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} until the player character and the [[lake guardians]] (or, in {{v2|Platinum}}, {{p|Giratina}}) foil them.

[[Team Plasma]] appears to work in a more mysterious attitude, especially their leader, [[N]]. Their goal appears to be, unlike the other villainous teams, not abusing Pokémon, but separating humans and Pokémon, comparing Pokémon under a Trainer's command to slaves. (They believe that liberation will actually ''help'' the Pokémon.) However, much of this is revealed to be a ruse by the true leader of the team, [[Ghetsis]], who is using the 'liberation' propaganda to trick the entire Unova region into disarming themselves, thus allowing him, through Team Plasma, to dominate the entire region.

[[Team Flare]] appears to own multiple facilities, such as the [[Lysandre Labs]] in [[Lumiose City]] and [[Team Flare Secret HQ|a secret underground headquarters]] in [[Geosenge Town]]. Many grunts initially claim that they want to make the world fashionable, but they raid multiple areas such as the [[Kalos Power Plant]] and the [[Poké Ball Factory]] for their true goals, which are to destroy everyone except Team Flare. They unleash the [[ultimate weapon]] created by [[AZ]] 3,000 years ago, and also capture {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}} to power up the weapon, only for the player character to capture them and defeat [[Lysandre]], leading to the team's downfall.

[[Team Skull]] is similar to the Kanto Team Rocket, in that they steal Pokémon for profit. However, they operate on a much more local scale than Team Rocket, and unlike Team Rocket's mafia style operation, they are more similar to street gangs. Their actions are sponsored by [[Lusamine]], and their leader [[Guzma]] responds directly to her. Team Skull eventually disbands after Guzma is rescued and reforms.

The above refers to the games; however, there is a darker interpretation of the teams in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Core series==
{{incomplete|section|Manga info of Team Plasma and Team Flare, if any}}
===[[Team Rocket]]===
[[File:HeartGold SoulSilver Team Rocket Grunt.png|thumb|250px|Team Rocket Grunts]]
Team Rocket members wear black costumes and have a red "R" as their crest. Many variations of the costume have been seen. Their leader is [[Giovanni]].
====In the games====
In [[Generation I]], Team Rocket often worked to gain money, through methods such as burglary and selling [[Fossil]]s. Their plans culminated in a hostile takeover of the Silph Corporation building in [[Saffron City]]. The gang based their operations in the hidden basement of Celadon's Game Corner.

Initially, [[Giovanni]] was the leader of the [[Viridian Gym]]. After being defeated by {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}}, he resigned his position and disappeared to train. Team Rocket was disbanded at this time, but isolated groups still operated in the [[Sevii Islands]] until they were made aware of Giovanni's departure.

For three years, Team Rocket appeared to be gone completely. However, an underground movement, led by executives from the [[Sevii Islands]], developed in the [[Johto]] region. As usual, it began with crimes committed to earn money (such as cutting off {{p|Slowpoke}} tails and selling them at outrageous prices).

As the Johto Team Rocket grew in size, scientists within the group studied radio waves and how they might be used to control Pokémon. From a former ninja base in [[Mahogany Town]], their experiments affected the {{p|Magikarp}} at the [[Lake of Rage]], causing the Pokémon to evolve unnaturally. Although the experiment was stopped by [[Lance]], Team Rocket soon took over the Goldenrod Radio Tower, intending to use its transmitter to affect Pokémon nationwide.

Before putting their plan into action, however, Team Rocket used the tower to instead attempt to contact Giovanni, hoping he would hear their message and return. This gave {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} enough time to infiltrate the besieged Goldenrod and defeat Team Rocket's executives, who again disbanded the group. Some time later, a time traveling Ethan/Lyra from the future fought Giovanni while their present-day counterpart watched the fight. Giovanni vanished after the fight, and Ethan/Lyra returned to their time.

====In the anime====
Team Rocket has appeared in almost every episode since [[EP002|the second]], usually as the bumbling trio [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, though at times [[Giovanni]] as well as other members, such as [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]], will appear.

====In the manga====
{{incomplete|section|other manga}}
=====Pokémon Adventures=====
Team Rocket first appear in Pokémon Adventures, when {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} are pursuing {{p|Mew}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. They are led by {{adv|Giovanni}}, who is portrayed in a much more sinister light than in the anime or games, as with Team Rocket on a whole.

This canon's depiction of Gym Leaders is different from that of the games and anime, who generally depict [[Gym Leader]]s as valiant. In the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, the three most prominent members of Team Rocket, collectively referred to as the [[Team Rocket Triad]], are [[Koga]], [[Sabrina]] and [[Lt. Surge]]. Like the other villainous trios, two members of the Team Rocket Triad (Sabrina and Lt. Surge) are true to their original calling (though as opposed to the other villainous trios, for them it is being Gym Leaders, not being members of their Team), while one goes his own way, that being Koga.

For a short time, [[Blaine]] worked for Team Rocket, making 5 out of the 8 [[Gym Leader#Indigo League|Kanto Leaders]] Rocket-affiliated at some point in their life.

As in the games, Giovanni later disbands Team Rocket and shuns the Team Rocket Triad, and the four of them go their separate ways. Team Rocket make a brief comeback aboard the S.S. Aqua, but they are on the whole unsuccessful. Later, however, [[Pryce]], under the guise of the [[Masked Man]], reforms Team Rocket for his own uses. At this point, his most prominent members are [[Carl]], [[Sham]], [[Karen]] and [[Will]]. Pryce plans to use Team Rocket to gain control of {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} and eventually {{p|Celebi}}, and through that control time in order to save his {{p|Lapras}}'s parents. After {{adv|Gold}} convinces him to cease his villainous ways, he too disbands Team Rocket.

In the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, Giovanni once again reforms Team Rocket, the most notable members now being the [[Three Beasts]] of Team Rocket. The main aim for Team Rocket is to reunite Giovanni with his son {{adv|Silver}} through the use of {{adv|Deoxys}}. Like the other villainous trios, two of the Beasts remain true to their original calling as Rockets, those being [[Orm]] and [[Sird]], while the other, [[Carr]], goes his own way. In this arc, Silver is intended to inherit Team Rocket, but he instead shuns it.

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, it was revealed that Carr had taken over Team Rocket and gathered the remaining troops together. His reign of power comes to an abrupt end, however, as the organization is then taken over by the four {{tc|Executive|Rocket Executives}}, who intend to gather all the [[Plate]]s and use them to control {{p|Arceus}}. With the unknowing help of Gold, {{adv|Crystal|Crys}}, and Silver, the Rocket Executives manage to enter the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], where Arceus recreates {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, which [[Archer]] intends to be an invincible army for Giovanni. However, when Giovanni arrives with [[Lance]] and Pryce, it is revealed that the battle of the three [[Legendary Pokémon]] would cause the destruction of both Johto and [[Sinnoh]], as foreseen by Pryce when he was trapped in the time stream. Thanks to Gold opening up to [[Togebo]], Arceus soon calms down the Legendary Pokémon, sending them back to their respective realms. As a reward of his good deed, Celebi then cures Giovanni of his long-time illness, allowing him to return to lead Team Rocket and its rebuilding. Silver still doesn't approve his father's criminal life, intending to stop Team Rocket and convince his father of the error of his ways one day by himself.

===[[Team Aqua]]===
[[File:Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Team Aqua Grunts.png|thumb|250px|Team Aqua Grunts]]
Team Aqua members wear blue costumes that look like {{wp|pirate}} outfits. They have a skull-and-bones-like "A" as their crest. Their leader is [[Archie]]. Team Aqua tries to expand the ocean and awaken {{p|Kyogre}}.

====In the games====
Team Aqua attempts to expand the ocean and awaken {{p|Kyogre}} in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}} and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]], but help the player defeat Team Magma in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]].

====In the anime====
Team Aqua made their first appearance in ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]''.

====In the manga====
=====Pokémon Adventures=====
Their principal aim is to gain control of {{p|Kyogre}} and increase the sea in the [[Hoenn]] region.
There are three Executives, known as the SSS of Team Aqua, which can be considered a parallel not only to the Three Fires of Team Magma, but the Team Rocket Triad and the Three Beasts of Team Rocket. Like the other villainous trios, one member of the SSS of Team Aqua went his own way, but rather than leaving Team Aqua, it was rejoining after being kicked out.

Team Aqua and Team Magma are presented more individually in Adventures than in any other medium. Team Aqua seem to have more influence, with Archie holding the position of News Director, but they don't seem to be as well equipped, as shown by the fact that they had no idea what the Orbs were until Amber spied on Team Magma.

===[[Team Magma]]===
[[File:Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Team Magma Grunts.png|thumb|250px|Team Magma Grunts]]
Team Magma wear red jumpsuit outfits, which have been variously interpreted to look like {{wp|Ninja}} costumes or similar to an imp. They have a stylized "M", appearing like a volcano, as their team's signature crest. Their leader is [[Maxie]]. Team Magma attempts to wake {{p|Groudon}} and expand the land area of the world.

====In the games====
In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby]] (and its remake, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]]), their main goal is to increase the landmass of the [[Hoenn]] region. They are first encountered in [[Slateport City]]'s [[Oceanic Museum]], attempting to steal the {{key|III|Devon Goods}} from [[Captain Stern]]. Later, they steal a {{key|III|Meteorite}} from [[Professor Cozmo]] in [[Meteor Falls]], and use it to try to cause Mt. Chimney to erupt. After being defeated, they aren't seen again until the player reaches the [[Weather Institute]], where a group of grunts led by [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] are looking for information about the [[Legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Groudon}}, and the weather Pokémon, {{p|Castform}}. Soon after, they are seen at [[Mt. Pyre]], and succeed in stealing the [[Colored orbs|Blue Orb]]. They then steal the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] that Captain Stern built, and travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the Blue Orb to awaken Groudon.

In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Sapphire]] (and its remake, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]]), they help the player defeat Team Aqua.

====In the anime====
Team Magma made their first appearance in ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]''.

====In the manga====
=====Pokémon Adventures=====
Their principal aim is to gain control of {{p|Groudon}} and increase the landmass in the Hoenn region.

There are three Executives, known as the Three Fires of Team Magma, which can be considered a parallel not only to the SSS of Team Aqua, but also the Team Rocket Triad and the Three Beasts of Team Rocket. Like the other villainous trios, one of the Three Fires of Team Magma goes her own way, in this example, it is Marge, who decides to help {{adv|Ruby}} stop {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} rather than further the cause of Groudon, as the Team's principal aim is. The Three Fires of Team Magma are more distinct from each other than the SSS of Team Aqua, because they all have an individual way of using fire. Marge's is the most straight forward, she simply aims to burn things, Mitch uses smoke to hide his movements and Mack uses heat to cause his victims to hallucinate, oddly, he seems to be able to control these hallucinations.

Team Magma and Team Aqua are presented as more individual in Adventures than they are in any other medium. Team Magma is presented as better equipped in the field of capturing a [[Legendary Pokémon]] and using its powers for their own end, as shown by their knowledge and acquisition of the two Orbs, however, they are not as influential, and Archie is able to convince most of Hoenn that Team Magma are the only villains.

===[[Team Galactic]]===
[[File:Diamond Pearl Team Galactic Grunts.png|thumb|250px|Team Galactic Grunts]]
Galactic Grunts wear black and white jumpsuits that vaguely resemble spacesuits and wear their hair in teal bowl cuts. Their leader is [[Cyrus]], who wishes to create a new universe by awakening {{p|Dialga}} or[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|*]]/and[[Pokémon Platinum Version|*]] {{p|Palkia}}. Their team's crest is a stylized letter "G" (Possibly to make it resemble a spiral galaxy). Whereas the other teams usually have large logos on their uniforms, Team Galactic's logos are small, being barely visible on their battle sprites.

====In the games====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Cyrus wishes to recreate the {{pkmn|universe}} in his image with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}. In {{game|Platinum}}, the leader is still Cyrus, but this time, he tries to summon both Dialga and Palkia to create a world without spirit.

====In the anime====
[[Saturn]], along with two grunts, appeared in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', though it was just a brief cameo at the end of the episode. Here, they commissioned Team Rocket to steal the [[Timespace orbs|Adamant Orb]] and frame [[Nando]] for the crime. At the end, Team Galatic commented that Team Rocket did a lousy job at it. This was not revealed until their next appearance, ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]''. Saturn tried to locate the {{p|Unown}} and control them using a cube with an {{p|Arceus}} pattern. [[Cyrus]], [[Mars]], and [[Jupiter]] later appeared in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'' with Saturn.

====In the manga====
=====Pokémon Adventures=====
=====Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!=====
Like in the games, the team is led by [[Cyrus]]. The team essentially has the same goal as in the games, but it was possible that the {{tc|Commander}}s did not know about the absolute plan of their leader, since Mars was shocked when Cyrus revealed that his ultimate goal was to create the universe and all of its life fully anew. [[Hareta]], with the help of [[Mitsumi]], a former member, and the Gym Leaders, managed to stop him. Later, [[Charon]] became the new leader and tried to capture [[Heatran]]. [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] left on a search to find Cyrus and were treated as deserters.

One of the most distinctive characters of the team is [[B-2]], a grunt who has swollen buttocks due to Hareta biting him when they first met.

===[[Team Plasma]]===
[[File:Black White Team Plasma Grunts.png|thumb|left|250px|Team Plasma Grunts as they appear in Black and White]]
[[File:Black 2 White 2 Team Plasma Grunts.png|thumb|250px|Team Plasma Grunts as they appear in Black 2 and White 2]]
Team Plasma is the villainous team of the [[Unova]] region. Originally, the grunts wore a costume that resembles a {{wp|knight}}'s armor, while the [[Seven Sages]] wore robes. Their objective is to separate [[human]]ity from Pokémon. Their leader is [[N]], although the team is being used to further the goals of his adopted father, [[Ghetsis]]. After this is discovered, the members of Team Plasma that support Ghetsis change their uniform to be more similar to pirates, while those that support N remain in the old uniform. Their crest is the letters P and Z combined together, looking like the {{wp|Chi Rho}}.

====In the games====
Team Plasma appears in various locations. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, their leader, N, is encountered very early in the game and is battled in many of Team Plasma's appearances. Eventually, N is able to gain control of {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W}}, and defeats the champion [[Alder]]. After the player captures the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] and defeats N, Ghetsis reveals his true plans, battling the hero himself. After his defeat and arrest, [[Looker]] will ask the player to help him round up the remaining [[Seven Sages|Sages]].

In {{game|Black and White|s|4=2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, Team Plasma has split into two different factions. One of the factions consists of the few members of Team Plasma that are still loyal to N. The other faction, known as the new Team Plasma, is led by [[Colress]]. This faction is not attempting to release Pokémon, but instead take over Unova. They intend to accomplish this new goal by freezing the region and stealing all of the region's Pokémon. Having escaped from custody, Ghetsis once again reveals himself to be the true mastermind behind Team Plasma's actions.

The reformed members and N help the player against new Team Plasma, culminating in the defeat of Colress and Ghetsis — the latter controlling {{p|Kyurem}}. Following this, Colress officially disbands Team Plasma, retiring to [[P2 Laboratory]]. Ghetsis, having snapped and lost heart upon seeing his plans foiled, is taken away by the [[Shadow Triad]], never to be seen again.

====In the anime====
Team Plasma's [[BW023 (unaired)|debut]] [[BW024 (unaired)|episodes]] were postponed due to the {{wp|Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}} in Japan and were later retconned out of continuity. Their proper debut was in the ''[[Best Wishes series|Best Wishes Season 2: Episode N]]'' arc, but in their new outfits.

N debuted at the end of ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' and was properly introduced in the [[BW110|next episode]]. Colress, with some other [[Team Plasma Grunt (Trainer class)|grunts]], first appeared in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'' experimenting with wild Pokémon. Ghetsis made his proper appearance  in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]''. [[Anthea and Concordia]] made their debut at the end of the episode rescuing N from Team Plasma. The Seven Sages appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]''. Like in the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|games]], Team Plasma's plan is to use the strength of Pokémon and use it to take over the [[Unova]] region.

====In the manga====

===[[Team Flare]]===
[[File:XY Team Flare Grunts.png|thumb|right|220px|Team Flare Grunts]]
Team Flare is the villainous team of the Kalos region. Team Flare Grunt's uniform is a mafia styled red suit, while Admins wear more stylized white suits and Scientists wear red suits of varying designs. Their symbol is a flaming letter F.

====In the games====
At first, Team Flare's goal is claimed to be making the world "beautiful" with style and lots of money. Despite their claims, several grunts and even their leader [[Lysandre]] confirm that they seek a world benefiting only those within Team Flare, disregarding anybody else. Team Flare attempte to make money by stealing and selling [[Fossils]]. They also siphoned energy from the [[Kalos Power Plant]], and later on stole [[Poké Balls]] from the [[Poké Ball Factory]].

It is eventually revealed that Team Flare's true plan is to use the ancient Ultimate Weapon in order to obliterate all life except themselves and start anew, as Lysandre no longer sees a bright future for the current society — which, in his words, has grown to an unsustainable level and is doomed by "unproductive fools" consuming the planet's limited resources. At this point, it is explained that all their actions were preparations to this goal: the energy from the Power Plant was needed to reactivate the weapon, and the large number of Pokémon was needed to feed it, as it is powered by their life energies.

After the player has defeated the Elite Four and the Champion, the player is tasked by [[Looker]] to help him solve a series of crimes related to a person known as [[Emma|Essentia]], which would be revealed to be the result of experiments by [[Xerosic]], one of Team Flare's scientists.

====In the anime====
The first appearance of a Team Flare member was in [[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]], where Lysandre made an appearance at Lysandre Labs, monitoring the Mega Evolution energy [[Alain]] had accumulated. He appears again in [[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]], where he interrupted Alain and [[Steven]]'s battle.

In the anime, Team Flare plan to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Zygarde}}, which is first revealed in [[XY094|From A to Z]]. However, they fail in doing so as it escapes. The team are after two of the Zygarde Cores, code-named Z1 and Z2. In [[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave]], Team Flare were able to locate Z2 while it and Squishy were communicating, and thus Mable and Aliana proceeded to go after Z2. After discovering that Z1 had joined Ash and his friends, they began following the group to capture it, and were seen on numerous occasions following them. Team Flare Admins, along with [[Xerosic]], began their experiments on an island using the power of Zygarde Cells to mutate trees, which Xerosic declared was a success. Locating Z2, Aliana and Mable, along with Team Flare Grunts, were able to capture Z2 after help of [[Alain]] and his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}, allowing Xerosic to later experiment on it. The night before the Lumiose Conference's final round, Team Flare, reaching the final stages of their plan, made their way to the Prism Tower to begin setting up their equipment. Lysandre, arriving at Prism Tower, ordered Z2 to show him its power as he put his plan into motion, announcing to everyone via TV that he planned to create a new, beautiful world by destroying the one they currently live in.

====In the manga====

===[[Team Skull]]===
[[File:Sun Moon Team Skull Grunt.png|thumb|right|220px|Team Skull Grunts]]
Team Skull is the primary villainous team of the [[Alola]] region. The grunts' black-and-white uniforms are inspired by street gangs, and consist of sneakers, shorts, wrist bands, tank tops, bandannas used to cover the lower face, and berets that resemble the tops of skulls. Their symbol is a stylized letter S in the shape of a skull, which is worn as a medallion.

====In the games====
Team's Skull's intentions are to simply make enough money to survive. They have a history of disrupting [[island challenge]] events. The team's leader, [[Guzma]], once attempted the island challenge and failed. He is acquainted with [[Professor Kukui]]. [[Plumeria]], an Admin, is considered the "big sister" of the team and cares for the grunts, calling them her "cute, dumb brothers and sisters". It is eventually revealed by some of their members that the organization is composed of other people who also failed their island challenge. Their enforcer, [[Gladion]], is the son of Aether President [[Lusamine]] and joined their team to become stronger, though the grunts do not consider him a real member of their team. Their base is located in [[Po Town]].

====In the anime====
Team Skull makes their first appearance in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where three grunts challenge [[Kiawe]] to a Pokémon battle, threatening to steal his {{p|Charizard}}. Ash and Kiawe team up to defeat the grunts, with Kiawe defeating all of the grunts' Pokémon with his {{p|Turtonator}}'s Z-Move.

===Aether Foundation===
[[File:Sun Moon Aether Foundation Employees.png|thumb|right|220px|Aether Foundation Employees]]
The true villainous team of the [[Alola]] region. Emplyoees wear white uniforms and flat caps with gold buttons and accents.

====In the games====
The Aether Foundation's president is Lusamine, who claims she wants to share her love with all of the rescued Pokémon. She is assisted by [[Faba]], the Aether Foundation's second-in-command and Aether Foundation branch chief, and [[Wicke]], the assistant branch chief of Aether Paradise.

The foundation also employs other people, who go out into the field to protect and rescue Pokémon in trouble. Originally founded as a group to protect Pokémon from threats like Team Skull, their leader turns out to be the one pulling the strings behind Team Skull, manipulating them into serving her true goals of summoning the Ultra Beasts to this world. Many of their members still believe in their original goals, including Wicke, who becomes Gladion's second in command after Lusamine's defeat. Type: Null was created by the Aether Foundation to fight the Ultra Beasts but deemed a failure. They are based out of the man-made island called Aether Paradise.

====In the anime====
Aside from a photo of Lusamine and children, no members of the Aether foundation have yet appear in the anime.

==Trivia==
*In [[Generation VI]], the final battle against a villainous team's Boss takes place on a background that differs from the actual location and reflects the Team's name.
**For [[Lysandre]], the background is a fiery area resembling a Sun's corona, whereas the actual location was [[Team Flare Secret HQ]].
**For [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]], the background resembles a whirlpool or a volcano, respectively, while both battles take place in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. Even if water and magma are featured in the chamber they are faced, they are battled on solid land. For the purposes of {{cat|moves that vary with environment}} and {{p|Burmy}}, it is treated as the default plain terrain.

Villainous team

2017-01-08T03:12:18Z

Lego3400: Just getting this started

{{incomplete|needs=This article needs quite a bit of cleanup, maybe a few images, and needs Team Debonairs and Great Rocket.}}

'''Villainous teams''' (English: '''Team ~'''; Japanese: '''{{j|～団}}''' ''-dan'') are {{wp|Organized crime|criminal terrorist organizations}} which usually act as the main antagonists in the storylines of [[Pokémon games]]. Whatever their goals in their respective games, one thing they all have in common is that they plan on achieving their results through the misuse of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==Comparisons==
While [[Team Rocket]] has vague goals and is {{wp|Mafia}}-like (or perhaps {{wp|Yakuza}}-like, considering the Japanese background), villainous teams such as [[Team Magma]], [[Team Aqua]], and [[Team Plasma]] have clear goals and are {{wp|cult}}-like, fanatically believing that achieving their goals will bring about the best interests of the people of the world. The leader of Team Galactic wishes to recreate the universe in his image with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} and/or {{p|Palkia}}; likewise, the leader of Team Flare seeks to make a beautiful world in his image by using the power of {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}} to destroy everyone except Team Flare. Team's Skull's intentions are making money for themselves. [[Cipher]] and [[Team Snagem]] work together to steal Pokémon from others and create [[Shadow Pokémon]] from them. The Go-Rock Squad plan to take over the Pokémon Rangers by capturing powerful Pokémon, making them cause disasters, then commanding the Pokémon to stop by using Stylers so they will be regarded as heroes. [[Team Dim Sun]] plans on using Pokémon to make energy for Altru Inc. and Almia. Each has an iconic leader - [[Giovanni]], [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], [[N]] and [[Ghetsis]], [[Cyrus]], [[Lysandre]], [[Guzma]], [[Lusamine]], [[Evice]] and [[Greevil]], [[Gonzap]], [[Gordor]], and [[Blake Hall]], respectively.

Team Rocket had extensive presence in [[Generation I]], including running the [[Celadon Game Corner]], invading [[Silph Co.]], and murdering [[Marowak (ghost)|at least one Pokémon]]. Even in the {{pkmn|anime}}, where law enforcement officers are clearly present, Team Rocket's activities continue largely unhindered.

By [[Generation II]], they have lost most of their power and attempted to re-group in the [[Johto]] region. They initially managed to take over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], only to be defeated by the {{player}}, forcing [[Team Rocket]] to disband yet again. 

In contrast, [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]'s crimes are more extreme, including stealing [[Peeko|a Pokémon]], a meteorite, and one [[Submarine Explorer 1|submarine]]; and causing catastrophes: halting the activity of [[Mt. Chimney|a volcano]] and causing droughts and heavy rains by awakening {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.

Like Team Rocket, [[Team Galactic]] appears to run the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. However, unlike the other teams, Team Galactic has several facilities. A warehouse and [[Team Galactic HQ|the headquarters]] are both in [[Veilstone City]], and [[Team Galactic Eterna Building|another building]] is located in [[Eterna City]]. Team Galactic is far more successful than the other teams in accomplishing their goals, as they have captured {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, created the [[Red Chain]], and temporarily capture {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} until the player character and the [[lake guardians]] (or, in {{v2|Platinum}}, {{p|Giratina}}) foil them.

[[Team Plasma]] appears to work in a more mysterious attitude, especially their leader, [[N]]. Their goal appears to be, unlike the other villainous teams, not abusing Pokémon, but separating humans and Pokémon, comparing Pokémon under a Trainer's command to slaves. (They believe that liberation will actually ''help'' the Pokémon.) However, much of this is revealed to be a ruse by the true leader of the team, [[Ghetsis]], who is using the 'liberation' propaganda to trick the entire Unova region into disarming themselves, thus allowing him, through Team Plasma, to dominate the entire region.

[[Team Flare]] appears to own multiple facilities, such as the [[Lysandre Labs]] in [[Lumiose City]] and [[Team Flare Secret HQ|a secret underground headquarters]] in [[Geosenge Town]]. Many grunts initially claim that they want to make the world fashionable, but they raid multiple areas such as the [[Kalos Power Plant]] and the [[Poké Ball Factory]] for their true goals, which are to destroy everyone except Team Flare. They unleash the [[ultimate weapon]] created by [[AZ]] 3,000 years ago, and also capture {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}} to power up the weapon, only for the player character to capture them and defeat [[Lysandre]], leading to the team's downfall.

[[Team Skull]] is similar to the Kanto Team Rocket, in that they steal Pokémon for profit. However, they operate on a much more local scale than Team Rocket, and unlike Team Rocket's mafia style operation, they are more similar to street gangs. Their actions are sponsored by [[Lusamine]], and their leader [[Guzma]] responds directly to her. Team Skull eventually disbands after Guzma is rescued and reforms.

The above refers to the games; however, there is a darker interpretation of the teams in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Core series==
{{incomplete|section|Manga info of Team Plasma and Team Flare, if any}}
===[[Team Rocket]]===
[[File:HeartGold SoulSilver Team Rocket Grunt.png|thumb|250px|Team Rocket Grunts]]
Team Rocket members wear black costumes and have a red "R" as their crest. Many variations of the costume have been seen. Their leader is [[Giovanni]].
====In the games====
In [[Generation I]], Team Rocket often worked to gain money, through methods such as burglary and selling [[Fossil]]s. Their plans culminated in a hostile takeover of the Silph Corporation building in [[Saffron City]]. The gang based their operations in the hidden basement of Celadon's Game Corner.

Initially, [[Giovanni]] was the leader of the [[Viridian Gym]]. After being defeated by {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}}, he resigned his position and disappeared to train. Team Rocket was disbanded at this time, but isolated groups still operated in the [[Sevii Islands]] until they were made aware of Giovanni's departure.

For three years, Team Rocket appeared to be gone completely. However, an underground movement, led by executives from the [[Sevii Islands]], developed in the [[Johto]] region. As usual, it began with crimes committed to earn money (such as cutting off {{p|Slowpoke}} tails and selling them at outrageous prices).

As the Johto Team Rocket grew in size, scientists within the group studied radio waves and how they might be used to control Pokémon. From a former ninja base in [[Mahogany Town]], their experiments affected the {{p|Magikarp}} at the [[Lake of Rage]], causing the Pokémon to evolve unnaturally. Although the experiment was stopped by [[Lance]], Team Rocket soon took over the Goldenrod Radio Tower, intending to use its transmitter to affect Pokémon nationwide.

Before putting their plan into action, however, Team Rocket used the tower to instead attempt to contact Giovanni, hoping he would hear their message and return. This gave {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} enough time to infiltrate the besieged Goldenrod and defeat Team Rocket's executives, who again disbanded the group. Some time later, a time traveling Ethan/Lyra from the future fought Giovanni while their present-day counterpart watched the fight. Giovanni vanished after the fight, and Ethan/Lyra returned to their time.

====In the anime====
Team Rocket has appeared in almost every episode since [[EP002|the second]], usually as the bumbling trio [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, though at times [[Giovanni]] as well as other members, such as [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]], will appear.

====In the manga====
{{incomplete|section|other manga}}
=====Pokémon Adventures=====
Team Rocket first appear in Pokémon Adventures, when {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} are pursuing {{p|Mew}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. They are led by {{adv|Giovanni}}, who is portrayed in a much more sinister light than in the anime or games, as with Team Rocket on a whole.

This canon's depiction of Gym Leaders is different from that of the games and anime, who generally depict [[Gym Leader]]s as valiant. In the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, the three most prominent members of Team Rocket, collectively referred to as the [[Team Rocket Triad]], are [[Koga]], [[Sabrina]] and [[Lt. Surge]]. Like the other villainous trios, two members of the Team Rocket Triad (Sabrina and Lt. Surge) are true to their original calling (though as opposed to the other villainous trios, for them it is being Gym Leaders, not being members of their Team), while one goes his own way, that being Koga.

For a short time, [[Blaine]] worked for Team Rocket, making 5 out of the 8 [[Gym Leader#Indigo League|Kanto Leaders]] Rocket-affiliated at some point in their life.

As in the games, Giovanni later disbands Team Rocket and shuns the Team Rocket Triad, and the four of them go their separate ways. Team Rocket make a brief comeback aboard the S.S. Aqua, but they are on the whole unsuccessful. Later, however, [[Pryce]], under the guise of the [[Masked Man]], reforms Team Rocket for his own uses. At this point, his most prominent members are [[Carl]], [[Sham]], [[Karen]] and [[Will]]. Pryce plans to use Team Rocket to gain control of {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} and eventually {{p|Celebi}}, and through that control time in order to save his {{p|Lapras}}'s parents. After {{adv|Gold}} convinces him to cease his villainous ways, he too disbands Team Rocket.

In the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, Giovanni once again reforms Team Rocket, the most notable members now being the [[Three Beasts]] of Team Rocket. The main aim for Team Rocket is to reunite Giovanni with his son {{adv|Silver}} through the use of {{adv|Deoxys}}. Like the other villainous trios, two of the Beasts remain true to their original calling as Rockets, those being [[Orm]] and [[Sird]], while the other, [[Carr]], goes his own way. In this arc, Silver is intended to inherit Team Rocket, but he instead shuns it.

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, it was revealed that Carr had taken over Team Rocket and gathered the remaining troops together. His reign of power comes to an abrupt end, however, as the organization is then taken over by the four {{tc|Executive|Rocket Executives}}, who intend to gather all the [[Plate]]s and use them to control {{p|Arceus}}. With the unknowing help of Gold, {{adv|Crystal|Crys}}, and Silver, the Rocket Executives manage to enter the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], where Arceus recreates {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, which [[Archer]] intends to be an invincible army for Giovanni. However, when Giovanni arrives with [[Lance]] and Pryce, it is revealed that the battle of the three [[Legendary Pokémon]] would cause the destruction of both Johto and [[Sinnoh]], as foreseen by Pryce when he was trapped in the time stream. Thanks to Gold opening up to [[Togebo]], Arceus soon calms down the Legendary Pokémon, sending them back to their respective realms. As a reward of his good deed, Celebi then cures Giovanni of his long-time illness, allowing him to return to lead Team Rocket and its rebuilding. Silver still doesn't approve his father's criminal life, intending to stop Team Rocket and convince his father of the error of his ways one day by himself.

===[[Team Aqua]]===
[[File:Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Team Aqua Grunts.png|thumb|250px|Team Aqua Grunts]]
Team Aqua members wear blue costumes that look like {{wp|pirate}} outfits. They have a skull-and-bones-like "A" as their crest. Their leader is [[Archie]]. Team Aqua tries to expand the ocean and awaken {{p|Kyogre}}.

====In the games====
Team Aqua attempts to expand the ocean and awaken {{p|Kyogre}} in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}} and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]], but help the player defeat Team Magma in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]].

====In the anime====
Team Aqua made their first appearance in ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]''.

====In the manga====
=====Pokémon Adventures=====
Their principal aim is to gain control of {{p|Kyogre}} and increase the sea in the [[Hoenn]] region.
There are three Executives, known as the SSS of Team Aqua, which can be considered a parallel not only to the Three Fires of Team Magma, but the Team Rocket Triad and the Three Beasts of Team Rocket. Like the other villainous trios, one member of the SSS of Team Aqua went his own way, but rather than leaving Team Aqua, it was rejoining after being kicked out.

Team Aqua and Team Magma are presented more individually in Adventures than in any other medium. Team Aqua seem to have more influence, with Archie holding the position of News Director, but they don't seem to be as well equipped, as shown by the fact that they had no idea what the Orbs were until Amber spied on Team Magma.

===[[Team Magma]]===
[[File:Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Team Magma Grunts.png|thumb|250px|Team Magma Grunts]]
Team Magma wear red jumpsuit outfits, which have been variously interpreted to look like {{wp|Ninja}} costumes or similar to an imp. They have a stylized "M", appearing like a volcano, as their team's signature crest. Their leader is [[Maxie]]. Team Magma attempts to wake {{p|Groudon}} and expand the land area of the world.

====In the games====
In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby]] (and its remake, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]]), their main goal is to increase the landmass of the [[Hoenn]] region. They are first encountered in [[Slateport City]]'s [[Oceanic Museum]], attempting to steal the {{key|III|Devon Goods}} from [[Captain Stern]]. Later, they steal a {{key|III|Meteorite}} from [[Professor Cozmo]] in [[Meteor Falls]], and use it to try to cause Mt. Chimney to erupt. After being defeated, they aren't seen again until the player reaches the [[Weather Institute]], where a group of grunts led by [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] are looking for information about the [[Legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Groudon}}, and the weather Pokémon, {{p|Castform}}. Soon after, they are seen at [[Mt. Pyre]], and succeed in stealing the [[Colored orbs|Blue Orb]]. They then steal the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] that Captain Stern built, and travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the Blue Orb to awaken Groudon.

In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Sapphire]] (and its remake, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]]), they help the player defeat Team Aqua.

====In the anime====
Team Magma made their first appearance in ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]''.

====In the manga====
=====Pokémon Adventures=====
Their principal aim is to gain control of {{p|Groudon}} and increase the landmass in the Hoenn region.

There are three Executives, known as the Three Fires of Team Magma, which can be considered a parallel not only to the SSS of Team Aqua, but also the Team Rocket Triad and the Three Beasts of Team Rocket. Like the other villainous trios, one of the Three Fires of Team Magma goes her own way, in this example, it is Marge, who decides to help {{adv|Ruby}} stop {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} rather than further the cause of Groudon, as the Team's principal aim is. The Three Fires of Team Magma are more distinct from each other than the SSS of Team Aqua, because they all have an individual way of using fire. Marge's is the most straight forward, she simply aims to burn things, Mitch uses smoke to hide his movements and Mack uses heat to cause his victims to hallucinate, oddly, he seems to be able to control these hallucinations.

Team Magma and Team Aqua are presented as more individual in Adventures than they are in any other medium. Team Magma is presented as better equipped in the field of capturing a [[Legendary Pokémon]] and using its powers for their own end, as shown by their knowledge and acquisition of the two Orbs, however, they are not as influential, and Archie is able to convince most of Hoenn that Team Magma are the only villains.

===[[Team Galactic]]===
[[File:Diamond Pearl Team Galactic Grunts.png|thumb|250px|Team Galactic Grunts]]
Galactic Grunts wear black and white jumpsuits that vaguely resemble spacesuits and wear their hair in teal bowl cuts. Their leader is [[Cyrus]], who wishes to create a new universe by awakening {{p|Dialga}} or[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|*]]/and[[Pokémon Platinum Version|*]] {{p|Palkia}}. Their team's crest is a stylized letter "G" (Possibly to make it resemble a spiral galaxy). Whereas the other teams usually have large logos on their uniforms, Team Galactic's logos are small, being barely visible on their battle sprites.

====In the games====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Cyrus wishes to recreate the {{pkmn|universe}} in his image with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}. In {{game|Platinum}}, the leader is still Cyrus, but this time, he tries to summon both Dialga and Palkia to create a world without spirit.

====In the anime====
[[Saturn]], along with two grunts, appeared in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', though it was just a brief cameo at the end of the episode. Here, they commissioned Team Rocket to steal the [[Timespace orbs|Adamant Orb]] and frame [[Nando]] for the crime. At the end, Team Galatic commented that Team Rocket did a lousy job at it. This was not revealed until their next appearance, ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]''. Saturn tried to locate the {{p|Unown}} and control them using a cube with an {{p|Arceus}} pattern. [[Cyrus]], [[Mars]], and [[Jupiter]] later appeared in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'' with Saturn.

====In the manga====
=====Pokémon Adventures=====
=====Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!=====
Like in the games, the team is led by [[Cyrus]]. The team essentially has the same goal as in the games, but it was possible that the {{tc|Commander}}s did not know about the absolute plan of their leader, since Mars was shocked when Cyrus revealed that his ultimate goal was to create the universe and all of its life fully anew. [[Hareta]], with the help of [[Mitsumi]], a former member, and the Gym Leaders, managed to stop him. Later, [[Charon]] became the new leader and tried to capture [[Heatran]]. [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] left on a search to find Cyrus and were treated as deserters.

One of the most distinctive characters of the team is [[B-2]], a grunt who has swollen buttocks due to Hareta biting him when they first met.

===[[Team Plasma]]===
[[File:Black White Team Plasma Grunts.png|thumb|left|250px|Team Plasma Grunts as they appear in Black and White]]
[[File:Black 2 White 2 Team Plasma Grunts.png|thumb|250px|Team Plasma Grunts as they appear in Black 2 and White 2]]
Team Plasma is the villainous team of the [[Unova]] region. Originally, the grunts wore a costume that resembles a {{wp|knight}}'s armor, while the [[Seven Sages]] wore robes. Their objective is to separate [[human]]ity from Pokémon. Their leader is [[N]], although the team is being used to further the goals of his adopted father, [[Ghetsis]]. After this is discovered, the members of Team Plasma that support Ghetsis change their uniform to be more similar to pirates, while those that support N remain in the old uniform. Their crest is the letters P and Z combined together, looking like the {{wp|Chi Rho}}.

====In the games====
Team Plasma appears in various locations. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, their leader, N, is encountered very early in the game and is battled in many of Team Plasma's appearances. Eventually, N is able to gain control of {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W}}, and defeats the champion [[Alder]]. After the player captures the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] and defeats N, Ghetsis reveals his true plans, battling the hero himself. After his defeat and arrest, [[Looker]] will ask the player to help him round up the remaining [[Seven Sages|Sages]].

In {{game|Black and White|s|4=2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, Team Plasma has split into two different factions. One of the factions consists of the few members of Team Plasma that are still loyal to N. The other faction, known as the new Team Plasma, is led by [[Colress]]. This faction is not attempting to release Pokémon, but instead take over Unova. They intend to accomplish this new goal by freezing the region and stealing all of the region's Pokémon. Having escaped from custody, Ghetsis once again reveals himself to be the true mastermind behind Team Plasma's actions.

The reformed members and N help the player against new Team Plasma, culminating in the defeat of Colress and Ghetsis — the latter controlling {{p|Kyurem}}. Following this, Colress officially disbands Team Plasma, retiring to [[P2 Laboratory]]. Ghetsis, having snapped and lost heart upon seeing his plans foiled, is taken away by the [[Shadow Triad]], never to be seen again.

====In the anime====
Team Plasma's [[BW023 (unaired)|debut]] [[BW024 (unaired)|episodes]] were postponed due to the {{wp|Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}} in Japan and were later retconned out of continuity. Their proper debut was in the ''[[Best Wishes series|Best Wishes Season 2: Episode N]]'' arc, but in their new outfits.

N debuted at the end of ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' and was properly introduced in the [[BW110|next episode]]. Colress, with some other [[Team Plasma Grunt (Trainer class)|grunts]], first appeared in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'' experimenting with wild Pokémon. Ghetsis made his proper appearance  in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]''. [[Anthea and Concordia]] made their debut at the end of the episode rescuing N from Team Plasma. The Seven Sages appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]''. Like in the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|games]], Team Plasma's plan is to use the strength of Pokémon and use it to take over the [[Unova]] region.

====In the manga====

===[[Team Flare]]===
[[File:XY Team Flare Grunts.png|thumb|right|220px|Team Flare Grunts]]
Team Flare is the villainous team of the Kalos region. Team Flare Grunt's uniform is a mafia styled red suit, while Admins wear more stylized white suits and Scientists wear red suits of varying designs. Their symbol is a flaming letter F.

====In the games====
At first, Team Flare's goal is claimed to be making the world "beautiful" with style and lots of money. Despite their claims, several grunts and even their leader [[Lysandre]] confirm that they seek a world benefiting only those within Team Flare, disregarding anybody else. Team Flare attempte to make money by stealing and selling [[Fossils]]. They also siphoned energy from the [[Kalos Power Plant]], and later on stole [[Poké Balls]] from the [[Poké Ball Factory]].

It is eventually revealed that Team Flare's true plan is to use the ancient Ultimate Weapon in order to obliterate all life except themselves and start anew, as Lysandre no longer sees a bright future for the current society — which, in his words, has grown to an unsustainable level and is doomed by "unproductive fools" consuming the planet's limited resources. At this point, it is explained that all their actions were preparations to this goal: the energy from the Power Plant was needed to reactivate the weapon, and the large number of Pokémon was needed to feed it, as it is powered by their life energies.

After the player has defeated the Elite Four and the Champion, the player is tasked by [[Looker]] to help him solve a series of crimes related to a person known as [[Emma|Essentia]], which would be revealed to be the result of experiments by [[Xerosic]], one of Team Flare's scientists.

====In the anime====
The first appearance of a Team Flare member was in [[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]], where Lysandre made an appearance at Lysandre Labs, monitoring the Mega Evolution energy [[Alain]] had accumulated. He appears again in [[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]], where he interrupted Alain and [[Steven]]'s battle.

In the anime, Team Flare plan to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Zygarde}}, which is first revealed in [[XY094|From A to Z]]. However, they fail in doing so as it escapes. The team are after two of the Zygarde Cores, code-named Z1 and Z2. In [[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave]], Team Flare were able to locate Z2 while it and Squishy were communicating, and thus Mable and Aliana proceeded to go after Z2. After discovering that Z1 had joined Ash and his friends, they began following the group to capture it, and were seen on numerous occasions following them. Team Flare Admins, along with [[Xerosic]], began their experiments on an island using the power of Zygarde Cells to mutate trees, which Xerosic declared was a success. Locating Z2, Aliana and Mable, along with Team Flare Grunts, were able to capture Z2 after help of [[Alain]] and his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}, allowing Xerosic to later experiment on it. The night before the Lumiose Conference's final round, Team Flare, reaching the final stages of their plan, made their way to the Prism Tower to begin setting up their equipment. Lysandre, arriving at Prism Tower, ordered Z2 to show him its power as he put his plan into motion, announcing to everyone via TV that he planned to create a new, beautiful world by destroying the one they currently live in.

====In the manga====

===[[Team Skull]]===
[[File:Sun Moon Team Skull Grunt.png|thumb|right|220px|Team Skull Grunts]]
Team Skull is the primary villainous team of the [[Alola]] region. The grunts' black-and-white uniforms are inspired by street gangs, and consist of sneakers, shorts, wrist bands, tank tops, bandannas used to cover the lower face, and berets that resemble the tops of skulls. Their symbol is a stylized letter S in the shape of a skull, which is worn as a medallion.

====In the games====
Team's Skull's intentions are to simply make enough money to survive. They have a history of disrupting [[island challenge]] events. The team's leader, [[Guzma]], once attempted the island challenge and failed. He is acquainted with [[Professor Kukui]]. [[Plumeria]], an Admin, is considered the "big sister" of the team and cares for the grunts, calling them her "cute, dumb brothers and sisters". It is eventually revealed by some of their members that the organization is composed of other people who also failed their island challenge. Their enforcer, [[Gladion]], is the son of Aether President [[Lusamine]] and joined their team to become stronger, though the grunts do not consider him a real member of their team. Their base is located in [[Po Town]].

====In the anime====
Team Skull makes their first appearance in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where three grunts challenge [[Kiawe]] to a Pokémon battle, threatening to steal his {{p|Charizard}}. Ash and Kiawe team up to defeat the grunts, with Kiawe defeating all of the grunts' Pokémon with his {{p|Turtonator}}'s Z-Move.

===Aether Foundation===
[[File:Sun Moon Aether Foundation Employees.pngthumb|right|220px|Aether Foundation Employees]]
The true villainous team of the [[Alola]] region. Emplyoees wear white uniforms and flat caps with gold buttons and accents.

==In the games==
The Aether Foundation's president is Lusamine, who claims she wants to share her love with all of the rescued Pokémon. She is assisted by [[Faba]], the Aether Foundation's second-in-command and Aether Foundation branch chief, and [[Wicke]], the assistant branch chief of Aether Paradise.

The foundation also employs other people, who go out into the field to protect and rescue Pokémon in trouble. Originally founded as a group to protect Pokémon from threats like Team Skull, their leader turns out to be the one pulling the strings behind Team Skull, manipulating them into serving her true goals of summoning the Ultra Beasts to this world. Many of their members still believe in their original goals, including Wicke, who becomes Gladion's second in command after Lusamine's defeat. Type: Null was created by the Aether Foundation to fight the Ultra Beasts but deemed a failure. They are based out of the man-made island called Aether Paradise.

*In [[Generation VI]], the final battle against a villainous team's Boss takes place on a background that differs from the actual location and reflects the Team's name.
**For [[Lysandre]], the background is a fiery area resembling a Sun's corona, whereas the actual location was [[Team Flare Secret HQ]].
**For [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]], the background resembles a whirlpool or a volcano, respectively, while both battles take place in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. Even if water and magma are featured in the chamber they are faced, they are battled on solid land. For the purposes of {{cat|moves that vary with environment}} and {{p|Burmy}}, it is treated as the default plain terrain.

'''Vast Poni Canyon''' (Japanese: '''ポニの{{tt|大峡谷|だいきょうこく}}''' ''Great Canyon of Poni'') is a location on [[Poni Island]] in [[Alola]]. It connects to the [[Ancient Poni Path]] in the south and to the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}}. It is where the player battles [[Hapu]] in her [[island challenge|grand trial]], and the location of a natural trial site. The player also meets [[Mina]], the sole [[Trial Captain|captain]] of Poni Island, here.

The area produces a [[special magnetic field]] that allows {{p|Magneton}}, {{p|Nosepass}}, and {{p|Charjabug}} to [[Evolution|evolve]] when [[level]]ed up here.

==Trial==
As the trial is abandoned and not attended by a captain, the trial itself is straightforward. The {{player}} proceeds forward in the Totem's Den, being attacked by a wild {{p|Jangmo-o}} and a wild {{p|Hakamo-o}} as they proceed to a pedestal. Before they can retrieve the {{DL|Z-Crystal|Dragonium Z}} from the pedestal, they are attacked by the trial's [[Totem Pokémon]], a {{p|Kommo-o}}.

Talk:Professor Kukui

2016-10-19T16:35:34Z

Lego3400:

== Speech ==
His [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K3Cs7WyAxE Japanese trailer] has a lot more dialog from him than the English version. One immediately obvious character trait is that he speaks in an ''extremely'' casual style for a man of his age and position. The lone English line of his in the US/UK trailer shows its maintained in the English text. This seems a prominent enough character trait to add to the page. --[[User:Deuxhero|Deuxhero]] ([[User talk:Deuxhero|talk]]) 00:36, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

== Kukui's Rockruff ==

He was shown to own a Rockruff today in footage from Pokenchi. [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 23:49, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
:It looks like it could very easily have just been a clip from the game's intro. I.e., that'd be like saying Sycamore [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t12aJ2WjVCg&t=45s owns a Gogoat]. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 00:29, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
::wait... why don't we say Sycamore owns a Gogoat? [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 16:14, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
:::...Why should we? It happens in every game. And is there ever a point in the rest of the game that shows any of the professors with the intro Pokemon again? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 16:21, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
::::Is there ever a point in the rest of the game that shows the Old Man from Kanto's Weedle again? Or Calem/Serena's Bunnelby that they catch in the tutorial? But those are listed.
::::Even if we make a unique section for "in opening" like how Calem/Serena have "Caught in tutorial", it should be mentioned somewhere. [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 18:39, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
:::::I'm really not sure about that... Go back and watch Sycamore's intro. Are you gonna tell me that's part of the "real (Pokemon) world"? At the end, you go through a door of light in the middle of the room. It's just an abstract thing. I don't think hardly ''any'' of the intros make strict sense (especially the professors' dialogue) if you try to imagine it as actually happening "for real". Maybe ORAS, but it's still presented in a relatively unique circumstance.
:::::The catching tutorials are not even remotely the same thing. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:01, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
::::::Alright, but why is there something wrong with keeping it in a separate section like "Shown in opening" or something? That makes it clear that it isn't in the rest of the game, and if readers want to believe that those scenes are canon and the professors own that Pokemon, then they can. If they want to believe they don't really own that Pokemon, they can do that too.
::::::It's also worth noting that Juniper's Minccino does appear outside of the opening, but I'm pretty sure she's the only one, so it probably isn't enough to say that every professor is the same. [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 03:13, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
:::::::Personally, I just don't think anything like that is necessary. (For mostly the reasons I expressed above.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 14:12, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
:He uses the Rockruff in the demo version to show you how to catch pokemon.--[[User:Lego3400|Lego3400]] ([[User talk:Lego3400|talk]]) 16:35, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

List of Pokémon with form differences

2016-08-23T00:36:29Z

Lego3400: /* Flabébé, Floette, and Florges{{anchor|Flabébé}}{{anchor|Floette}}{{anchor|Florges}} */

[[File:Cherrim Sunshine Form anime.png|thumb|{{p|Cherrim}} changing between forms in the anime]]
Some Pokémon have official major [[Variant Pokémon|variations]] between individuals, known as '''forms''' (Japanese: '''すがた''' ''form''). These variations all have differing sprites in the games and are recognized by the "forms" section of the [[Pokédex]].

Starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, every official different form has a name given by the [[Pokédex]], but {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Genesect}}, and {{p|Furfrou}}'s alternate forms were not registered in the Pokédex prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. From Generation II to IV, whichever sprite is seen first will be the one displayed in the Pokédex by default; e.g., if West Sea Shellos was encountered first its sprite will appear in the Pokédex by default, whereas if East Sea Shellos was encountered first its sprite will. In Generation V, the sprite displayed in the Pokédex can be changed upon reaching [[Mistralton City]], even to a {{Shiny}} sprite, if it has been encountered. In Generation VI, the sprite can be changed as long as the player has owned the Pokémon.

At times, these differences are purely cosmetic and have no bearing on the difference in the Pokémon's stats from another; however, several Pokémon differ in stats (other than HP), [[type]], and [[Ability]] depending on their form. Among these are several {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], whose unique forms can be changed between at will and are usually spelled as '''Formes''' (Japanese: '''フォルム''' ''Forme'').

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], [[regional variant]] Pokémon were introduced. The species of Pokémon that adapted to the environment of [[Alola]] are called Alola Forms, and have different appearances to Pokémon of the same species found elsewhere.

==Pokémon with multiple forms==
===Pikachu===
{{main|Cosplay Pikachu}}
Cosplay {{p|Pikachu}} is a unique female Pikachu who has a black heart-shaped mark near the end of its tail. This unique Pikachu is able to be dressed up into five different costumes corresponding to each kind of {{pkmn|Contest}} category ({{OBP|Cool|condition|Coolness}}, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition|Cuteness}}, {{OBP|Clever|condition|Cleverness}}, and {{OBP|Tough|condition|Toughness}}) and learn an exclusive move associated with that Contest category. Cosplay Pikachu can switch costumes anytime. It will lose the move it had with the last costume (if it still knows it), and gain the move from the new costume. Unlike other Pikachu, it cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]].

If Cosplay Pikachu removes its costume while the only move it knows is the move tied to its costume, it learns {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} (the only games it appears in), after the player takes part in their first [[Pokémon Contest]], a Breeder will give the player Cosplay Pikachu. Unlike regular Pikachu, Cosplay Pikachu cannot be deposited into [[Pokémon Bank]]; however, they can be traded between copies of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].

===Pichu===
{{main|Spiky-eared Pichu}}
Spiky-eared {{p|Pichu}} is a unique female Pichu who has a tuft of hair on the end of its left ear. Spiky-eared Pichu's [[Pokéathlon]] [[performance]] stats are different than a normal Pichu's. She cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or be [[trade]]d, and she cannot be [[Poké Transfer|transferred]] to the [[Generation V]] games.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} (the only games it appears in), if the player takes a {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu}} to the [[Ilex Forest]], Spiky-eared Pichu will join the player.

===Unown===
{{p|Unown}} has many forms, each corresponding to a typographical character. It was the first Pokémon to have multiple forms in the games. From its debut in [[Generation II]], there are 26 forms of Unown, each corresponding to each of the twenty-six letters of the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}. Starting in the [[Generation III]] games, Unown has two additional forms, corresponding to the {{wp|question mark}} and {{wp|exclamation mark}}. These forms are not interchangeable.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there is a special [[Unown Mode]], an upgrade to the Pokédex that was developed by the researchers at the [[Ruins of Alph]] to record the different forms of Unown, which is available after the player had caught several Unown. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there is the [[Unown Report]], which is obtainable after the player completes the first tile puzzle in the [[Ruins of Alph]].

In the Generation II games, Unown's form is determined by its {{IV}}s, which results in some strange phenomena; for example, in Generation II, only Unown I and V can be {{Shiny}} due to Shiniess also being determined by IVs in these games. In the [[Generation III]] games, Unown's form is determined by its [[personality value]]. From the Generation IV games onward, an independent value determines the Pokémon form.

Though the form has no bearing on [[base stats]], punctuation Unown have different [[performance]] stats to alphabetical Unown.

===Castform===
{{p|Castform}} has four different forms, which its [[Ability]] {{a|Forecast}} causes it to change between in different types of [[weather]]. It is the first Pokémon to have interchangeable forms in battle in the games.

Normally, Castform is {{type|Normal}} and has a plain appearance with a gray body. It takes on this form in clear weather, in any weather without a specific form, and if the weather has its effects negated by {{a|Cloud Nine}} or {{a|Air Lock}}.

In [[harsh sunlight]], Forecast changes Castform to its Sunny Form, which is {{type|Fire}} and resembles the sun. In [[rain]], Forecast changes Castform to its Rainy Form, which is {{type|Water}} and resembles a raindrop. In {{weather|hail}}, Forecast changes Castform to its Snowy Form, which is {{type|Ice}} and resembles a snowy cloud. Castform reverts to its normal form when [[Recall|withdrawn]] from battle.

In Generation III and IV, if Castform's Ability {{a|Forecast}} is suppressed or replaced, Castform will remain in its current form (regardless of the weather). In Generation V onward, if Castform's Ability {{a|Forecast}} is suppressed or replaced, Castform will revert to its normal form (regardless of the weather).

Castform's [[stats]] do not change between any of these forms.

===Deoxys===
{{p|Deoxys}} has four different forms which it can switch between. It was the first Pokémon whose [[base stats]] and [[move]] compatibility differed depending on its form.

In the [[Generation III]] games, Deoxys's forms are game-specific, such that it will always be in one particular form while in the player's possession (although it will be in Normal Forme in the wild).
*In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}, it will be in Normal Forme.
*In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}, it will be in Attack Forme.
*In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}, it will be in Defense Forme.
*In {{game|Emerald}}, it will be in Speed Forme.

From Generation IV onward, the player can switch between its forms using meteorites found in the game.
*In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, using meteorites outside in [[Veilstone City]].
*In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, using meteorites outside on {{rt|3|Kanto}}.
*In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, using meteorites in the {{DL|Nacrene City|Nacrene Museum}} in [[Nacrene City]].
*In {{g|X and Y}}, using meteorites in the {{DL|Ambrette Town|Fossil Lab}} in [[Ambrette Town]].
*In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, using the meteorite in [[Professor Cozmo]]'s house in [[Fallarbor Town]].

Deoxys's Normal Forme is the default form it takes, as well as the form it appears in in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. In this form, its stats are more balanced, though it is notably far more offensive than it is defensive.

Deoxys's Attack Forme has higher {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} than its other forms (being the non-Mega Evolved Pokémon with the highest Attack and Special Attack) and learns more offensive moves. Its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} are abysmal, much lower than its Normal Form. Its {{stat|Speed}} remains the same as its Normal Forme.

Deoxys's Defense Forme has much higher {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} than its other forms and learns more defensive moves. Its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are much lower than its Normal Forme, and its {{stat|Speed}} is also significantly lower than its Normal Forme.

Deoxys's Speed Forme has much higher {{stat|Speed}} than its other forms (being the Pokémon with the highest Speed) and learns many increased [[priority]] moves.

Deoxys has the same {{stat|HP}} stat in all of its forms.

===Burmy and Wormadam===
Both {{p|Burmy}} and its female evolution, {{p|Wormadam}}, have three separate forms. Burmy can change form freely, changing its cloak depending on the environment in which it last participated in a battle (so {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}} alone will not change its form). Wormadam cannot change form; when a Burmy evolves into Wormadam, it retains its cloak.

Apart from {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[evolution]], Burmy's cloak is purely cosmetic; conversely, different cloaks of Wormadam have different [[type]]s, stats and learnsets. Bred Burmy will have the same cloak as the mother, will be in the same cloak as a Burmy or Wormadam bred with Ditto, or will be in Plant Cloak if bred from a {{p|Mothim}} and a {{p|Ditto}}.

If a Burmy last battled in a grassy area or water, it changes into its Plant Cloak. If female, Plant Cloak Burmy will evolve into Plant Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of leaves and twigs.

If a Burmy last battled in a sandy or rocky area, it changes into its Sandy Cloak. If female, Sandy Cloak Burmy will evolve into Sandy Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of sand and rocks.

If a Burmy last battled in a building or urban area, it changes into its Trash Cloak. If female, Trash Cloak Burmy will evolve into Trash Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of pink {{wp|building insulation|insulation}}.

===Cherrim===
{{p|Cherrim}} changes form depending on the [[weather]]. During [[harsh sunlight]], it changes into Sunshine Form; otherwise, it is in its Overcast Form. Due to its Ability {{a|Flower Gift}}, its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} will also increase in its Sunshine Form.

In Generation IV, Cherrim changes form independently of its Ability. Starting in Generation V, it is Cherrim's Ability that changes its form.

In Japanese, the names of Cherrim's forms use 「フォルム」 ''form'', the term otherwise only used in the names of forms localized as Forme in English.

===Shellos and Gastrodon===
{{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} differ in appearance depending on where they were caught. This is purely a cosmetic change, and these Pokémon cannot change between forms.

In [[Sinnoh]], West Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are encountered west of [[Mt. Coronet]], and are pink in color; East Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are encountered east of Mt. Coronet, and are blue in color. There is also a slight difference in bodily appearance depending on the form.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Shellos are the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Shellos or Gastrodon parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

===Rotom===
{{redirect|Heat|the Badge given by [[Flannery]]|Badge#Heat Badge|Badge → Heat Badge}}
[[File:Rotom parts.png|thumb|Rotom and the appliances]]
{{p|Rotom}} has five alternate forms it can change between, in addition to its normal form. To take on these alternate forms, Rotom possesses a different {{wp|household appliance}}, and each has its own special [[move]]. These alternate forms were introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.

*Normal Rotom, which has not possessed an appliance, is {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}
*Heat Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|microwave oven}}, knows {{m|Overheat}} and is {{2t|Electric|Fire}}
*Wash Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|washing machine}}, knows {{m|Hydro Pump}} and is {{2t|Electric|Water}}
*Frost Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|refrigerator}}, knows {{m|Blizzard}} and is {{2t|Electric|Ice}}
*Fan Rotom, which has possessed an {{wp|mechanical fan|electric fan}}, knows {{m|Air Slash}} and is {{2t|Electric|Flying}}
*Mow Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|lawn mower|lawnmower}}, knows {{m|Leaf Storm}} and is {{2t|Electric|Grass}}

In [[Generation IV]], all forms of Rotom are {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}-type; from Generation V onward, the appliance forms replace the Ghost type with the type of their associated move. All appliance forms have the same base stat total, which is higher than that of normal Rotom; the only base stat of normal Rotom that is higher than its appliance forms is its Speed.

In Pokémon Platinum, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], which can only be accessed by using the {{key|IV|Secret Key}}. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in [[Silph Co.]], which can be accessed when entering the broken elevator with Rotom as the [[walking Pokémon]]. In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of [[Shopping Mall Nine]]. In {{g|X and Y}}, the appliances are located in boxes on the second floor of the Sycamore Pokémon Lab in [[Lumiose City]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the appliances are located in boxes in [[Professor Birch]]'s lab in [[Littleroot Town]]. Using these locations, Rotom can also return the appliance to change back to normal form.

Upon changing from an appliance form, it will forget the special move associated with that appliance form. Upon changing into an appliance form, it will learn the special move associated with the form. When changing form, if Rotom knows four moves but not the special move of its previous form, the player will be prompted to replace a move with the new exclusive move (Rotom cannot change to an appliance form unless it does). If Rotom's only known move is its special move and it changes to its normal form, then the Rotom will learn {{m|Thunder Shock}}. In [[Generation IV]] and {{gen|V}}, if Rotom forgets the move that is tied to its appliance form, it changes back into its normal form; in Generation VI, Rotom can remain in an appliance form even if it forgets the associated special move.

[[Pokémon Egg|Hatched]] Rotom are always in normal form.

In [[Generation IV]], Rotom changes back to its normal form when taken into the [[Union Room]] or [[Wi-Fi Club]], or when deposited in the {{pkmn|Day Care}}.

Rotom's appliance forms first appeared as silhouettes in August 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, with a statement that indicated that these Pokémon would be in the game. Days before the game's release, it was revealed that these Pokémon were the alternate forms of Rotom. These new forms made their debut in Pokémon Platinum, and have been included in every [[core series]] game since.

===Giratina===
{{p|Giratina}} has two forms it can change between.

In the [[Pokémon world]], it is normally in its Altered Forme, which is a winged hexapod; in the [[Distortion World]] or while holding a {{DL|Timespace orbs|Griseous Orb}}, it is in its Origin Forme, which is serpentine with six appendages. The Origin Forme was introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.

The two forms have different stats and Abilities; the Origin Forme is more offense-oriented, while the Altered Forme is more defense-oriented.

===Shaymin===
{{p|Shaymin}} has two forms it can change between.

Normally, Shaymin is in its Land Forme, which is {{type|Grass}} and resembles a hedgehog. When exposed to a [[Gracidea]], Shaymin transforms into its Sky Forme, which is {{2t|Grass|Flying}}-type and white in color; however, Shaymin's Sky Forme will change back into its Land Forme at night, while {{status|frozen}}, or when deposited into the [[PC]]. The Sky Forme was introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.

The two forms have different stats, {{Abilities}}, [[type]]s, learnsets, and [[cry|cries]].

===Arceus===
{{p|Arceus}} has eighteen different type form variations, which correspond to the eighteen different [[type]]s.

Arceus's type depends on its held [[Plate]], becoming the same type as the type that Plate enhances, remaining {{type|Normal}} when not holding a Plate.

While its base stats remain constant despite its changing type, its [[Pokéathlon]] performance differs. Additionally, it can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} only while holding the {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate}}.

In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is unused data and a sprite programmed for a {{type|???}} {{p|Arceus}}, but it cannot be obtained in the games as there is no ???-type Plate. This data no longer exists in [[Generation V]] due to the removal of the ??? type.

Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Arceus's alternate forms are not registered in the [[Pokédex]].

===Basculin===
{{p|Basculin}} has two different forms, the Red-Striped Form and the Blue-Striped Form. The Red-Striped Form has a red stripe with wide eyes and spiky fins; the Blue-Striped Form has a blue stripe with squinted eyes and smooth fins. These forms are non-interchangeable.

*In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black}} and {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2}}, red-striped Basculin can be encountered normally, while blue-striped Basculin can only be encountered by {{m|surf}}ing on or [[fishing]] in [[Phenomenon|swirling water]].
*In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon White}} and {{game|Black and White|s 2|White 2}}, blue-striped Basculin can be encountered normally, while red-striped Basculin can only be encountered by surfing on or fishing in swirling water.
*In {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X}}, blue-striped Basculin can only be encountered using a {{DL|Fishing|Good Rod}} while red-striped Basculin can only be encountered using a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}}. This order is reversed in {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon Y}}, with red-striped Basculin requiring a Good Rod and blue-striped Basculin requiring a Super Rod. {{rt|21|Kalos}} is the exception, where only red-striped Basculin can be caught with either rod.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Basculin are the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Basculin parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

Wild red-striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaTooth}} while wild blue-striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaScale}}.

In Pokémon Black and White, blue-striped Basculin have the same two standard possible Abilities as red-striped Basculin—{{a|Reckless}} and {{a|Adaptability}} (and are listed as such in [[Pokédex 3D]]); however, the blue-striped Basculin that can be obtained via in-game trade in Pokémon White has the Ability {{a|Rock Head}}. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, wild blue-striped Basculin's two standard possible Abilities are {{a|Rock Head}} and {{a|Adaptability}}, while red-striped Basculin's stay the same (and are listed as such in [[Pokédex 3D Pro]]); however, blue-striped Basculin [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 have Reckless and Adaptability as their two standard Abilities. When a blue-striped Basculin with Reckless is transferred from [[Generation V]] to [[Generation VI]], its Ability is changed to Rock Head.

===Darmanitan===
If {{p|Darmanitan}} has {{a|Zen Mode}} as its Ability, it changes from Standard Mode into Zen Mode when its HP drops to below half in battle. It can only remain in Zen Mode in battle.

Standard Mode Darmanitan is {{type|Fire}} and red in color. Zen Mode Darmanitan is {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}-type and blue in color.

The two forms have different stats, such that Zen Mode Darmanitan swaps the Attack and Special Attack of Standard Mode, and has higher defenses but lower Speed.

|}

===Deerling and Sawsbuck===
{{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} have four different interchangeable forms, each corresponding to a [[seasons|season]]. These forms are purely cosmetic.

In the [[Generation V]] games, Deerling and Sawsbuck will only change their form to match the current season if they are in the player's [[party]] when: the player steps outside from a [[cave]] or building such that the season changes, the player receives an {{pkmn|Egg}} from the [[Pokémon Day Care|Day-Care]] Man, or a saved game is loaded. All wild, [[Pokémon breeding|bred]], or NPC Trainer-owned Deerling and Sawsbuck will match the current season, with the exception of Trainers in the [[Battle Subway]] and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] where these Pokémon are always in Spring Form.

In [[Generation VI]], all wild and NPC Trainer-owned Deerling and Sawsbuck appear in Spring Form. Because seasons have been abandoned as a mechanic, Deerling and Sawsbuck do not change appearance, and their Summer, Autumn, and Winter forms must be [[Poké Transporter|transferred]] from a [[Generation V]] game. Bred Deerling are the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Deerling or Sawsbuck parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

===Forces of Nature{{anchor|Tornadus}}{{anchor|Thundurus}}{{anchor|Landorus}}===
The [[Forces of Nature]]—{{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}—have two interchangeable forms each.

Normally, they are in their Incarnate Forme. When exposed to a [[Reveal Glass]], they change into their Therian Forme. Their Therian Formes were introduced in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].

The two forms have different stats, {{Abilities}}, and [[cry|cries]]. Even if they have their Hidden Ability, in Therian Forme each Pokémon only has one possible Ability.

In the [[Generation V]] games, they cannot be traded while in their Therian Forme.

|}

===Kyurem===
{{p|Kyurem}}, in addition to its normal form, has two other forms: White Kyurem and Black Kyurem. They are the [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], which they were introduced in.

In the games, Kyurem changes its form through the use of the [[DNA Splicers]], which fuses it with {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}. The combination retains Kyurem's Poké Ball and [[held item]]. This fusion is reversible, with Reshiram or Zekrom remaining unaltered from before being fused, including whatever item it may have been holding. The DNA Splicers can only fuse one Kyurem at a time. White Kyurem and Black Kyurem cannot be deposited into [[Pokémon Bank]], nor can they be [[trade]]d.

White Kyurem has the Ability {{a|Turboblaze}}, learns the moves {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Ice Burn}}, and its cry is a combination of normal Kyurem and Reshiram's cries.

Black Kyurem has the Ability {{a|Teravolt}}, learns the moves {{m|Fusion Bolt}} and {{m|Freeze Shock}}, and its cry is a combination of normal Kyurem and Zekrom's cries.

===Keldeo===
{{p|Keldeo}} has two interchangeable forms: Ordinary Form and Resolute Form. These forms are mostly cosmetic. The Resolute Form was introduced in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].

If Keldeo is taught {{m|Secret Sword}} in Pokémon Black 2 or White 2 or a Generation VI game, it will change into Resolute Form. If it forgets Secret Sword, it returns to Ordinary Form. Keldeo taught Secret Sword in {{game|Black and White|s}} remain in Ordinary Form in other games.

===Meloetta===
{{p|Meloetta}} has two interchangeable forms: Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme. Aria Forme is {{2t|Normal|Psychic}}. Pirouette Forme is {{2t|Normal|Fighting}}.

Normally, it is in Aria Forme, which is the only form it can take outside of battle. If Meloetta uses the move {{m|Relic Song}} in battle, it changes between the two forms. It reverts to Aria Forme if withdrawn.

===Genesect===
In the games, {{p|Genesect}} changes forms when a [[Drive]] is attached to its back. These forms have no direct effect, although they do change the type of Genesect's [[signature move]] {{m|Techno Blast}}.

*If no Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Normal}} and Genesect will appear to have a dark yellow Drive.
*If a Shock Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Electric}} and Genesect will appear to have a light yellow Drive.
*If a Burn Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Fire}} and Genesect will appear to have a red Drive.
*If a Chill Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Ice}} and Genesect will appear to have an ice blue Drive.
*If a Douse Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Water}} and Genesect will appear to have a blue Drive.

Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Genesect's alternate appearances are not registered in the [[Pokédex]].

===Vivillon===
{{p|Vivillon}} has 18 different distinct patterns depending on the set geographic location of its [[original Trainer]]'s [[Nintendo 3DS]]. This form cannot be changed. The pattern of Vivillon encountered within a game is set when the save file is created.

Bred {{p|Scatterbug}} will evolve into {{p|Vivillon}} with the same pattern as that of the breeding player's game, regardless of its parents.

There are also two {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive patterns, the Poké Ball Pattern and the Fancy Pattern. The Poké Ball Pattern resembles a standard {{ball|Poké}}, and was first [[List of local event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Paris Poké Ball Pattern Vivillon|distributed]] in Paris, France to promote the temporary {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} store. The Fancy Pattern was [[GTS Fancy Pattern Vivillon|distributed]] via the [[Nintendo Network]] from July 8 to 31, 2014 to celebrate the GTS's 100 millionth Pokémon trade.

===Flabébé, Floette, and Florges{{anchor|Flabébé}}{{anchor|Floette}}{{anchor|Florges}}===
{{p|Flabébé}}, {{p|Floette}}, {{p|Florges}} can hold five different-colored flowers: red, yellow, orange, blue, and white. The flower color is maintained through [[evolution]] and cannot be changed. In {{g|X and Y}}, if a Pokémon in this evolutionary family is encountered in a flower patch, the color of the flower it holds will depend on the color of that flower patch.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Flabébé have the same color flower as their mother, or the same form as the Flabébé, Floette, and Florges parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

Since only Blue Flower, Red Flower, and Yellow Flower Floette can appear in the [[Friend Safari]], only these forms of Flabébé, Floette and Florges can have their Hidden Ability {{a|Symbiosis}}.

{{spoilers}}
[[File:AZ's Floette.png|thumb|200px|AZ's unique Floette]]
In the storyline of {{g|X and Y}}, there is also a unique Floette who [[AZ]] befriended 3,000 years ago. The flower it wields has a different design than normal; it also has a blue, red, and white color instead of green, yellow, and white, reflecting the colors of the {{wp|Flag of France|French tricolor}}. Similar to the {{type|???}} {{p|Arceus}}, there is unused data for a trainable unique Floette. Unlike the the normal variations it can learn [[Light of Ruin]] and is the only Pokémon able to do so.

===Furfrou===
{{p|Furfrou}} can be groomed into one of ten different trims. These trims will only last five days after the {{player}} has groomed the Pokémon, or until the player deposits it in the PC.

Furfrou can be groomed at {{DL|Lumiose City|Friseur Furfrou}} in [[Lumiose City]] or at the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Slateport City]]. At both locations, grooming costs {{PDollar}}500. At Friseur Furfrou, the player cannot initially select from all of the trims, with trims being unlocked gradually as the player becomes more [[Lumiose City#Style|stylish]].

Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Furfrou's trims are not registered in the [[Pokédex]].

===Aegislash===
{{p|Aegislash}}, due to its Ability {{a|Stance Change}}, can change forms in battle depending on the move it uses. Initially in Shield Forme, using a damaging move will change it to Blade Forme, while using {{m|King's Shield}} will change it back into Shield Forme. Outside of battle it is always in Shield Forme.

Shield Forme Aegislash has high {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, while Blade Forme Aegislash has high {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}.

===Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist{{anchor|Pumpkaboo}}{{anchor|Gourgeist}}===
{{p|Pumpkaboo}} and {{p|Gourgeist}} can be of Small, Average, Large and Super Size. Larger sizes of Pumpkaboo are rarer to encounter in the wild.

Different sizes have different base stats. For Pumpkaboo, with each increase in size, its base HP stat increases by 5 points while its base Speed stat decreases by 5 points. For Gourgeist, with each increase in size, its base HP stat increases by 10 points and its base Attack stat increases by 5 points while its base Speed stat decreases by 15 points. Consequently, the base stat total of a Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist does not vary with size.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Pumpkaboo are the same size as their mother, or the same form as the Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

Wild Super Size Pumpkaboo will always hold a {{DL|Type-enhancing held item|Miracle Seed}}, whereas other sizes will never hold an item in the wild. Super Size variants have different, lower pitched cries than the other forms.

Only Average Size and Super Size Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist can have their Hidden Ability {{a|Insomnia}}. Average Size can be obtained with its Hidden Ability from the [[Friend Safari]]; Super Size can be obtained with its Hidden Ability as the [[Spooky 2014 Super Size Pumpkaboo]].

===Xerneas===
{{p|Xerneas}} has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in battle, and appears in Neutral Mode in situations outside of battle, such as cutscenes, the Pokédex, the [[Party|Pokémon]] screen, and [[Pokémon-Amie]]. According to the Pokédex, Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.

Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, the protrusions on its horns as well as its back spots light up in several colors.

===Zygarde===
{{p|Zygarde}} has five known forms. The 50% Forme debuted in [[Pokémon X and Y]] while the other four debuted in the {{pkmn|anime}} during the ''{{DL|List of XY series episodes|XY&Z}}'' arc of the {{series|XY}}.

A Zygarde Cell is a single cell of Zygarde. They can be found scattered throughout the region. They do not have thoughts or will, and can communicate with Zygarde Cores via telepathy. They are incapable of performing [[move]]s.

A Zygarde Core is a "brain" of Zygarde. They can communicate with Zygarde Cells and other Cores via telepathy. They take action when the region's ecosystem is threatened.

Zygarde 10% Forme is a Zygarde with 10% of its cells. It has razor-sharp teeth, and can reach speeds up to 60 mph (100 km/h). It can change into Complete Forme with its Ability {{a|Power Construct}}. This form will make its game debut in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].

Zygarde 50% Forme is a Zygarde with 50% of its cells. It watches over and maintains the local ecosystem. It can change into Complete Forme with its Ability {{a|Power Construct}}.

Zygarde Complete Forme is a Zygarde with 100% of its cells. Zygarde only takes on this form when the ecosystem is under threat and it believes Zygarde 50% Forme is unable to deal with it. Its power is said to exceed that of {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. This form will make its game debut in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].

===Hoopa===
{{p|Hoopa}} has two Formes it can change between, using the [[Prison Bottle]] to temporarily change to its more powerful Forme.

Normally, Hoopa Confined is the Forme taken by Hoopa, which is {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}}. When exposed to a [[Prison Bottle]], Hoopa transforms into Hoopa Unbound, which is {{2t|Psychic|Dark}}; however, Hoopa Unbound will change back into Hoopa Confined after three days have passed since using the Prison Bottle, or when deposited in the [[PC]] or [[Pokémon Day Care]]. Hoopa Unbound was introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

The two forms have different stats, [[type]]s, learnsets, and [[cry|cries]].

'''Ash's Greninja''' (Japanese: '''サトシのゲッコウガ''' ''Satoshi's Gekkouga'') is the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} obtained in the [[Kalos]] region.

==History==
====At Professor Sycamore's Laboratory====
[[File:Ash Froakie Egg.png|thumb|left|250px|Froakie's Egg]]
Greninja's early life was first seen in a flashback in ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]''. As a Froakie, it hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}} and lived its life alongside other {{p|Froakie}} in a pond under [[Professor Sycamore]]'s care. While the other Froakie spent their time playing and dancing, it spent most of its time away from others training itself. Due to this, it was seen as a disturbance to the group and was attacked. A [[Nurse Joy]] healed Froakie and gave it to Sycamore to be given away as a [[starter Pokémon]], new Pokémon [[Pokémon Trainer]]s could choose. It then learned that it could only get strong with a Trainer it trusted and became very selective of its Trainer. Because of this, Froakie had gone through several Trainers, but came back either from leaving them or being returned for being [[Obedience|disobedient]].

It first saw Ash when he was kicked out of the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''. It continued to observe the gang until {{TRT}} intervened in Ash and {{an|Clemont}}'s friendly Pokémon battle. It volunteered to help out by successfully using its Frubbles to counter [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], but ended up receiving quite a bit of damage during the encounter. Ash then decided to take it to Professor Sycamore's lab, where it was treated and restored to full health. Upon asking about its Trainer, the Professor told Ash that its Trainer had called to give Froakie back.

Later on, Team Rocket attempted to use a ring-type device against Froakie, but the lab's {{p|Garchomp}} got caught in the middle instead, causing her to go on a rampage after the machine malfunctioned. Ash, along with his {{AP|Pikachu}} and newly befriended Froakie, headed out to rescue Garchomp. In order to prevent her from falling down the Prism Tower, Froakie used its Frubbles on Garchomp's feet and Pikachu broke the device using {{m|Iron Tail}}.

While leaving Professor Sycamore's laboratory the next day, Froakie threw a chunk of its Frubbles in Ash's face in order to get his attention. It was standing alongside a [[Poké Ball]] on the floor in front of it, expressing its desire to join his party. Froakie then happily pressed the Poké Ball's button and was {{pkmn2|caught}}.

====With Ash====
[[File:Ash Froakie.png|thumb|250px|As a Froakie]]
In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', Froakie was introduced to {{an|Professor Oak}}, who was fascinated by the Bubble Frog Pokémon. For most of the trip on {{rt|4|Kalos}}, Froakie was seen outside of its Poké Ball. After a wild {{AP|Fletchling}} took a [[Berry]] that {{an|Bonnie}} was going to give to a {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}, Froakie stubbornly attempted to fight Fletchling, only to lose. After Ash learned that it was only trying to get payback at Fletchling for making Bonnie sad, Ash and Froakie challenged Fletchling to one final battle, by climbing the rocks to match Fletchling's speed, although Fletchling escaped from Ash's Poké Ball once, Froakie later defeated it, which ended in both its defeat and catch.

In ''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]'', Froakie battled {{OBP|Penelope|XY013}}'s {{p|Sylveon}}. Froakie started off with {{m|Bubble}}, but Sylveon overwhelmed the attack with {{m|Fairy Wind}}, knocking Froakie into a tree. Froakie then dodged a {{m|Moonblast}} and kicked several falling apples from the tree at Sylveon. Sylveon knocked the apples away with its feelers, but this left it vulnerable to a powerful {{m|Water Pulse}}. As Froakie was about to finish Sylveon off, Sylveon infatuated it with {{m|Attract}} and defeated it with a {{m|Draining Kiss}}. After the group had arrived at the kindergarten where Penelope worked, Froakie was embarrassed for a while after its loss and stood alone, while the other Pokémon played with the kids. When Team Rocket appeared and stole Pikachu and Sylveon, Froakie and [[Randall]], one the kids, were accidentally left trapped in Team Rocket's truck amidst the chaos. Later, when Ash entered the truck, the three worked together to break the glass containers holding Pikachu and Sylveon, while also helping Randall get over his fear for Pokémon in the process. Froakie and Pikachu then defeated Team Rocket, blasting them off. Afterwards, Froakie and Randall gave each other a fist bump as a sign of their new friendship, before the group said goodbye to everyone at the kindergarten.

In ''[[XY017|A Rush of Ninja Wisdom!]]'', Froakie battled [[Sanpei]]'s {{TP|Sanpei|Frogadier}}. Froakie started off with Bubble, but Frogadier easily dodged the attack. Froakie then chased after Frogadier while using {{m|Pound}}, but wasn't able to land a hit due to Frogadier's great speed. Froakie then launched a Water Pulse at Frogadier, but it protected itself with {{m|Smokescreen}} and disappeared. Froakie, however, sensed something behind a tree and fired a Water Pulse at it, only to have hit a decoy. Frogadier then appeared from the nearby pond and attacked with Bubble. Froakie countered with its own Bubble, but got overpowered. After its Water Pulse was overpowered by Frogadier's, Froakie used Water Pulse once more. Frogadier, however, easily dodged it using {{m|Quick Attack}} and unable to keep up with Frogadier's moves, Froakie was hit hard. Froakie, however, refused to give up and wanted to continue the battle. As Frogadier used Quick Attack to finish Froakie off, Sanpei noticed Froakie's exhaustion and saved it before it got hit, ending the battle with Sanpei as the winner. After seeing Frogadier's Quick Attack, Ash wanted to teach Froakie Quick Attack with help of Sanpei. After lots of training Froakie still wasn't able to perfect Quick Attack. Suddenly Team Rocket attacked the group and caught Pikachu and Frogadier. Thanks to its training, Froakie managed to learn {{m|Double Team}} and used it to free Pikachu and Frogadier and blasted them off along with Frogadier using a double Water Pulse.

In ''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]'', Froakie, in order to save itself and a {{p|Skrelp}} from a whirlpool, jumped on boxes and debris to escape from the whirlpool and reach safety. This gave Ash the idea for the Rock Tomb Climb.

In ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', Ash used Froakie as his first Pokémon in his [[Cyllage Gym]] Battle against [[Grant]]. Froakie went up against his {{p|Onix}}. Froakie launched a Water Pulse whilst Onix used {{m|Flash Cannon}}, with only Flash Cannon hitting. Froakie tried to get close to Onix to climb up its body, but Grant anticipated this and he had the Rock Snake Pokémon use {{m|Rock Polish}} to increase its {{stat|Speed}}. Ash had a plan though and had Froakie use Double Team to circle Onix. Onix then used its signature move {{m|Rock Tomb}} to destroy the copies, but Froakie used this moment to perform its newly learned technique Rock Tomb Climb to climb onto the falling rocks. After reaching the top, Froakie used Water Pulse which dealt major damage to Onix. After narrowly dodging an Iron Tail, it climbed up Onix's large body and defeated it with Water Pulse. It then went up against Grant's last Pokémon, {{p|Tyrunt}}. Froakie immediately used Double Team while Tyrunt used Rock Tomb. Both Froakie and its copies were again able to jump on the rocks and they launched a barrage of Bubble attacks. However, the Royal Heir Pokémon jumped high and used {{m|Draco Meteor}}, destroying the copies and knocking Froakie out.

In ''[[XY035|The Forest Champion!]]'', Froakie was used to battle a wild {{AP|Hawlucha}} Ash had befriended when he did not want to use Pikachu. Due to Hawlucha's aerial mobility and speed it easily dodged Froakie's Water Pulse, but Froakie then used Double Team to counter Hawlucha's {{m|High Jump Kick}}, causing it to miss and cause Hawlucha to take recoil damage. Froakie then climbed rocks in an attempt to match Hawlucha's aerial speed, but failed, causing it to fall in the water. Afterwards it used a Double Team - Pound combination in an attempt to hit Hawlucha, but Hawlucha used its speed and climbed up the tree and dodged the attacks. After landing on the ground, Hawlucha used {{m|Flying Press}}, which Froakie countered with Pound at the last minute, causing a collision which knocked out both Pokémon. This ended the battle in a draw. Later Froakie was seen when Ash caught Hawlucha.

Froakie would later conflict with Hawlucha in ''[[XY038|Forging Forest Friendships!]]''. In the wake of learning {{m|Cut}}, Ash and Clemont decided to have a battle where Froakie and Hawlucha battled against {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} and {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}}. Ash commanded Hawlucha to use {{m|Karate Chop}} to counter Bunnelby's {{m|Mud Shot}}, but Froakie used Water Pulse on Bunnelby. This angered Hawlucha since Froakie, and not itself, had hit Bunnelby. The dispute later escalated causing them to be separated by Ash. In an attempt to diffuse the tension, Ash decided to try and train the two into using a new move called "Super Flying Cut". During their training, Ash got kidnapped by a wild {{p|Trevenant}} and both Froakie and Hawlucha got separated from the rest of the group. After finding [[Ash's hat]], the two resolved their differences and sought to find their trainer. After finding him, they battled Team Rocket, overcoming their Pokémon with their new special move and blasting them off. Froakie and Hawlucha settled their argument and gave each other a fist bump, solidifying their new friendship.

In ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', Froakie had a "first-touch battle" against {{an|Tierno}}'s {{p|Squirtle}}. Froakie started off with a Water Pulse, but Squirtle dodged it easily. Ash then commanded Froakie to use Water Pulse again, but Squirtle was too fast. It dodged again and ran to Froakie. Squirtle touched Froakie, causing Froakie to lose.
[[File:Ash Frogadier.png|thumb|right|250px|As a Frogadier]]

In ''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]'', Froakie was training with Ash and Pikachu until Bonnie noticed Sanpei in the water, and went to rescue him and his {{p|Greninja}}, who were previously attacked by [[Saizo]] and his {{p|Barbaracle}}. After thwarting another attack, the group decided to aid Sanpei in finding a mansion so he could deliver a secret document given to him by his mentor. After saving Clemont from falling via his Frubbles and then being separated from Clemont, Bonnie and {{an|Serena}} in a cave full of {{p|Golbat}}, Froakie and Greninja encountered Saizo once more in a rematch but neither their joint attacks or the involvement of Pikachu gave them the upper hand. After being trapped in some rocks by Barbaracle's {{m|Mud-Slap}}, which had also blinded Pikachu and Greninja, Froakie broke free and evolved into a Frogadier, managing to weaken the Collective Pokémon using its newly-learned {{m|Aerial Ace}} before Saizo fled the battle. After reaching the mansion, it was revealed that Saizo was in fact Sanpei's mentor, who had been testing his student and that the document was actually blank. Frogadier and Greninja had a battle at the end of the episode, though the outcome is unknown.

In ''[[XY058|The Green, Green Grass Types of Home!]]'', Ash used Frogadier as his third and final Pokémon in his [[Coumarine Gym]] Battle against [[Ramos]]. Despite being at a type disadvantage, it went up against {{p|Weepinbell}} which had already defeated Fletchinder and Hawlucha. Frogadier used Water Pulse, but this was dodged. It then used Double Team and circled around Weepinbell. Weepinbell, however, used its hearing to sense the real Frogadier and used {{m|Grass Knot}}, tripping up Frogadier and removing the copies. Weepinbell then used {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but Frogadier countered with its Water Pulse. Weepinbell used {{m|Poison Powder}}, but Frogadier used its Frubbles to cover its mouth, preventing itself from becoming {{status|Poison|poisoned}}. It then used Double Team to circle Weepinbell again. Weepinbell, went for Grass Knot again, but this time Frogadier used Aerial Ace, destroying the Grass Knot and using the attack to defeat the Flycatcher Pokémon. It then went up against Ramos's last Pokémon, his {{p|Gogoat}}. Frogadier used Water Pulse, but it was blocked by {{m|Vine Whip}}. When Frogadier used Double Team, Gogoat countered with Vine Whip again, destroying all the copies and hitting the real Frogadier hard. Gogoat then used Razor Leaf around itself, hiding itself. Frogadier destroyed the leaves with Aerial Ace, but Gogoat had jumped up high and redirected the leaves to hit Frogadier hard. Frogadier then used Double Team which was destroyed by {{m|Leech Seed}}. Frogadier, however, managed to avoid it and then hit Gogoat with Aerial Ace. Gogoat was able to withstand the hit and used {{m|Horn Leech}}, dealing damage and having recovering some of the damage it took. It then used Leech Seed on Frogadier, trapping it while draining Frogadier's health. Gogoat then used Razor Leaf, circling around Frogadier while launching leaves at it. This made neither Ash nor Frogadier able to see Gogoat. Then Ash remembered the advice that Ramos told him - that getting flustered would only make matters worse, and that if he kept a level head he'd be able to see the important things - and had Frogadier listen for the sounds of Gogoat's movements. After getting hit by multiple leaves, it managed to sense Gogoat and cut through the Razor Leaf and did major damage with Aerial Ace before using Double Team. Though the Mount Pokémon took out the copies with Vine Whip, this gave Frogadier an opening. It hit Gogoat with Water Pulse and knocked it out, winning Ash the battle and earning him the {{badge|Plant}}.
[[File:Ash Frogadier Sawyer Grovyle.png|thumb|250px|left|Its rivalry with Sawyer's Grovyle, as a Frogadier]]
In ''[[XY073|A Fashionable Battle!]]'', Ash used Frogadier and Hawlucha for his [[Double Battle]] against [[Sawyer]], where they went up against [[Sawyer's Treecko]] and {{p|Bagon}}. After Hawlucha and Bagon battled, Treecko used Leech Seed on Hawlucha which it managed to dodge. Bagon then tried hitting Hawlucha with {{m|Fire Fang}}, but it got blocked by Frogadier's Water Pulse. Later Frogadier used its speedy movements to dodge Treecko's {{m|Bullet Seed}}. As Treecko used another Bullet Seed on Frogadier, Frogadier seemingly disappeared just before the attack hit. It reappeared in the air and Treecko tried stopping Frogadier using Bullet Seed. Frogadier cut through the seeds using Cut repeatedly and defeated Treecko. Ash and Sawyer then prepared to resume their battle, but they got interrupted by the commotion caused by [[Valerie]]'s Fashion Show.

In ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'', Ash used Frogadier as his third Pokémon in his three versus three battle against Sawyer. It went up against {{p|Treecko}}, despite the type-disadvantage. Frogadier hit Treecko with a super-effective speedy Aerial Ace, surprising Sawyer. Treecko then hit Frogadier with Bullet Seed. Treecko kept using Bullet Seed while moving, which Frogadier struggled to dodge. Treecko then used {{m|Agility}} in an attempt to outspeed it, but Frogadier was able to stop it by hitting Treecko with a Water Pulse. Agitated, Treecko suddenly evolved into {{p|Grovyle}}, learning {{m|Leaf Blade}} in the process. Frogadier used Double Team, of which Leaf Blade destroyed the copies. This, however, left Grovyle open for a surprise Aerial Ace from behind by Frogadier. After dodging more Leaf Blades, Frogadier used Cut as Grovyle used Leaf Blade which cancelled each other out. Grovyle then used its jumping abilities to jump in the air and use Bullet Seed, but it was countered by Water Pulse. This created smoke which allowed Frogadier to get into the air and counter attack with Water Pulse from behind, defeating the Wood Gecko Pokémon. After the battle, both Frogadier and Grovyle were impressed with the other's abilities and developed a rivalry with each other.

In ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]'', it was used to battle {{OBP|Carrie|XY092}}'s {{p|Sigilyph}} and {{p|Sableye}} along with Pikachu. After it had hit Sableye with Water Pulse, it got hit by a {{m|Shadow Claw}}. It then countered Sableye's {{m|Power Gem}} with Water Pulse and then defeated Sableye with Aerial Ace. After the misunderstanding had been solved, the group followed [[Olympia]] to the [[Anistar Gym]]. There, Olympia revealed Frogadier's past and revealed it would gain great power.

In ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', Frogadier was used along with Talonflame in a [[Double Battle]] against [[Olympia]]'s two {{p|Meowstic}} at the Anistar Gym. After Olympia's Meowstic used a {{m|Helping Hand}}-boosted {{m|Future Sight}}, Frogadier and Talonflame headed in for the attack. Both Meowstic simply dodged the attacks and began levitating. Ash then had Frogadier attack the female Meowstic with Water Pulse. Water Pulse's damage, however, was reduced as the male used {{m|Light Screen}} to protect his partner from the attack. Frogadier then caught Talonflame, who was falling down after getting hit. Both Meowstic then fired off their {{m|Psyshock}}, which kept following their targets due to the female Meowstic's Ability {{a|Keen Eye}}, and were able to hit their opponents. As Frogadier and Talonflame stood up and were about to counterattack, wormholes appeared and Future Sight struck Talonflame, knocking it into Frogadier. Ash then came up with a strategy to have Pikachu keep track of the time it took for Future Sight to hit its mark. Ash then had Talonflame use {{m|Brave Bird}} and Frogadier use Double Team to cover Talonflame. After the female Meowstic wiped the clones out with {{m|Dark Pulse}}, its Dark Pulse was cancelled out by Frogadier's Cut, giving Talonflame the chance to hit her hard with Brave Bird. She, however, immediately recovered and launched a {{m|Thunder Wave}} at Talonflame, but Frogadier jumped in and took the attack, {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} it. Frogadier then aided Talonflame, who charged in for the attack, by blocking the Meowstic's Psyshock, giving Talonflame the chance to hit the male Meowstic hard. Ash then had Frogadier attack with Aerial Ace, but it was unable to execute it due to its paralysis, leaving it vulnerable to a Dark Pulse. After Future Sight was used again, Frogadier was carried by Talonflame and both charged towards the Meowstic. The {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon attacked with Psyshock and Dark Pulse, which kept following their marks again. Talonflame, however, led the attack towards the Meowstic and flew off at the last moment, causing them to get hit by their own attacks. Frogadier and Talonflame then grabbed onto the Meowstic. Thanks to Pikachu, they were able to let them go at the moment Future Sight was executed, causing it to hit Meowstic instead. It was then saved from Psyshock by Talonflame, who used {{m|Flame Charge}} to shield itself and Frogadier from Meowstic's attacks. As Talonflame knocked the female Meowstic out with Flame Charge, Frogadier prepared to defeat the male with Water Pulse. Due to its paralysis, however, it couldn't launch the attack, giving Meowstic the chance to fire off a Psyshock. Despite struggling to block the attack with the Water Pulse between its hands, Frogadier managed to overpower Psyshock, thanks to Ash's words of encouragement, and knocked Meowstic out. This gave Ash the victory, earning him the {{badge|Psychic}}.

In ''[[XY099|The Legend of the Ninja Hero!]]'', Frogadier was seen training with Ash. It then met up with Sanpei and his Greninja again, who took the group to his hometown, the [[Ninja Village]]. Frogadier watched the battle between Sanpei's Greninja and [[Nihei]]'s {{p|Venusaur}} with great interest and was shocked when Greninja was beaten. It then followed Ash and his friends and saw the shrine dedicated to the Hero Greninja. When the village was attacked, Frogadier and Ash along with Sanpei and Greninja chased after the kidnappers of {{kal|Hanzo}}, the village elder, but were confronted by [[Heidayu]] and his {{p|Bisharp}}.
The attack on the village continued in [[XY100|the next episode]], in which Frogadier, along with Pikachu and Sanpei's Greninja were ready to face Heidayu's Bisharp. Bisharp easily overcame their combined efforts, but was defeated by the returning Saizo and his Barbaracle.

Later Frogadier joined Pikachu and Sanpei's Greninja in a rematch with Bisharp, but still struggled against the Sword Blade Pokémon. While the three Pokémon struggled to stand from Bisharp's {{m|Snarl}}, Heidayu ordered Bisharp to finish Pikachu with Shadow Claw. At the last moment, Frogadier managed to get up and jump in front of Pikachu to protect him, causing it to evolve into Greninja and learn {{m|Water Shuriken}}. Following its evolution, Greninja managed to pose a larger threat to Bisharp with its new powerful attack. Hearing Ash's words of encouragement, Greninja mysteriously transformed into a new form known as Ash-Greninja. With its new power, Greninja easily managed to knock Bisharp out with a powerful Cut before the torrent of water surrounding it dissipated and Greninja reverted to its normal form, leaving Ash confused over what had just happened. After the Ninja Army was defeated, Greninja bade Sanpei and his Greninja farewell as Ash and his friends left the village to continue their journey.

In ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', Greninja was used by Ash to retrieve [[Squishy]], who was captured by Team Rocket at the time. Greninja quickly retrieved it and returned it to Bonnie, after easily dodging the {{m|Cross Poison}} and the {{m|Stone Edge}} fired at it by [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Drapion}} and [[Bryony]]'s Bisharp, respectively. After Squishy defeated [[Team Flare]]'s Pokémon and ran away, Greninja battled Celosia's {{p|Manectric}} and Bryony's {{p|Liepard}}, who chased after Squishy. Greninja blocked Liepard's Shadow Claw with Cut, but while locked in combat with Liepard, it got hit by Manectric's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Greninja refused to give up, however, and transformed to its Ash-Greninja form. It easily beat back Manectric and Liepard with its great speed and power, forcing Team Flare to retreat. During the battle it was shown that Ash and Greninja share each others pain and exhaustion while Greninja was in its Ash-Greninja form. Afterwards, Greninja and Ash fell to their knees in exhaustion.

[[File:Ash and Greninja.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Greninja]]
In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Greninja was first used to battle Sawyer's Sceptile. It first countered Bullet Seed with Water Shuriken and then attacked with Cut, which was dodged. After its Aerial Ace clashed with Sceptile's Leaf Blade, Greninja was hit by a {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. Sceptile then trapped Greninja with {{m|Leaf Storm}} and then smashed it to the ground, dealing lots of damage. Greninja, however, was still able to stand and easily defeated Sceptile with Aerial Ace upon transforming into Ash-Greninja. Its transformation was noticed by [[Alain]], who was passing by.

The next day, Alain requested a battle with Greninja, to which Ash agreed. Greninja fought [[Alain's Charizard]], which was able to hold the upper hand despite a type-disadvantage. The match started with Charizard countering Greninja's Water Shuriken with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, and dodging Greninja's attempts to hit it with Cut. It retaliated with {{m|Flamethrower}}, causing Greninja some damage. Afterwards Charizard [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] and attacked with Dragon Claw, but Greninja countered with Cut. Greninja attempted to confuse Charizard with Double Team, but the Flame Pokémon countered by destroying all the copies with Flamethrower. Greninja then emerged from the smoke and attempted to hit Charizard with a surprise Aerial Ace, but the latter revealed its newly learned {{m|Thunder Punch}} and knocked Greninja away. Greninja tried to retaliate with Water Shuriken, but Charizard proved to be faster and hit it with a second Thunder Punch. When the battle seemed to be over, Greninja transformed into Ash-Greninja and managed get a good hit on Charizard with Aerial Ace. Charizard, however, quickly recovered and used Thunder Punch, which Greninja blocked with Cut. Charizard was then able to break through Cut and finished Greninja off with {{m|Blast Burn}}.

In [[XY116]], Clemont had developed an invention to monitor Ash and Greninja's pulse in order to get to know more about Greninja's transformation into Ash-Greninja. Greninja was sent out to spar with [[Clemont's Luxray]] to try and trigger the transformation. Luxray started the battle by powering up his {{type|Electric}} moves using {{m|Electric Terrain}}. Greninja then used Cut, but Luxray countered with {{m|Thunder Fang}}, pushing the Ninja Pokémon back. Greninja then tried to dodge Luxray's {{m|Wild Charge}} with Double Team, but Luxray proceeded to destroy all copies and hit it. Greninja, however, quickly managed to recover and struck the Gleam Eyes Pokémon with a surprise Aerial Ace. After clashing with Cut and Thunder Fang again the battle was stopped, since both Pokémon were tired and Greninja's transformation still hadn't taken place.

After Alain showed up, he and Ash agreed to have a rematch, with Greninja battling Alain's Charizard once more. Like in their previous battle, Greninja opened with a Water Shuriken. Charizard skillfully dodged the incoming shurikens and retaliated with Dragon Claw, hitting Greninja hard. Greninja, however, quickly recovered and used Double Team which proved useless against Charizard's Flamethrower. This, however, proved to be a diversion that allowed Greninja to strike Charizard from behind with Cut. After Charizard Mega Evolved, Greninja showed the full extent of its improvement by overpowering Charizard's Thunder Punch and kicking it in the stomach with Aerial Ace. It then attacked with Cut, but Charizard grabbed its attack and hit it with a close-range Flamethrower. It then tried to stop Charizard with Water Shuriken, but the Flame Pokémon dodged the attack once again and proceeded to hit Greninja with a powerful Thunder Punch. This, however, allowed Greninja to successfully transform into Ash-Greninja. With its increased power, Greninja was able to match Charizard in combat. After its Cut was dodged, it was able to block Charizard's Flamethrower with Cut. Greninja then jumped in the air to avoid Charizard's Thunder Punch and struck it from above with Aerial Ace. After a collision between Cut and Dragon Claw, Greninja managed to take a hit from another Dragon Claw before dealing serious damage to Charizard with an immediate Cut. The battle was called off when Ash collapsed from exhaustion. When Ash regained consciousness, Ash realized that he and Greninja would have to be more careful in using Greninja's special form and vowed to train harder in order to perfect it.

Their training was seen in [[XY118]], where the two raced through a forest in order to boost their stamina. When [[Diantha]] arrived to inform Ash and his friends about {{p|Zygarde}}, she also requested a battle with Ash and Greninja after hearing of Greninja's special power. Greninja had a hard time battling her {{p|Gardevoir}} at first, as Gardevoir easily dodged its moves without even needing verbal orders from Diantha. Greninja then used Double Team to avoid an incoming {{m|Shadow Ball}}, but Gardevoir quickly fired off several Shadow Balls to destroy all copies and hit Greninja. After its Water Shuriken was dodged again, it managed to dodge Gardevoir's {{m|Moonblast}}, but was blown back into a tree by the blast caused by Moonblast's impact. Greninja then fired off two Water Shurikens, which again were easily dodged. It, however, managed to distract Gardevoir by launching a third one, allowing it to emerge from the smoke and hit the Embrace Pokémon with Cut. Greninja and Ash then reached the point where they could transform into Ash-Greninja. Diantha was greatly impressed by its special form, as Greninja started to gain the upper hand, being able to push Gardevoir back by overpowering its Shadow Ball with Cut. After a collision between Water Shuriken and Shadow Ball, Gardevoir proceeded to dodge Greninja's attacks again. This time, however, Greninja was able to keep up with Gardevoir's speedy movements and struck it with another Cut. As Greninja headed in using Aerial Ace, Diantha finally had Gardevoir Mega Evolve and repel Greninja's attack. Launched into the air, Greninja fired a Water Shuriken, which Gardevoir countered with Shadow Ball, the attacks colliding with equal force. Another Aerial Ace was then blocked by Gardevoir's {{m|Reflect}}, but Greninja immediately after used Double Team and Cut to push Gardevoir back, even through its Reflect. After destroying a Shadow Ball with Aerial Ace, Ash and Greninja perfected their synchronization, and the watery veil that surrounded Greninja turned into a massive, back-mounted shuriken, much to everyone's shock. Greninja then attacked with its new shuriken while Gardevoir fired another Shadow Ball. This time, however, Greninja's Water Shuriken proved stronger and knocked Gardevoir off her feet. However, before the battle could progress any further, both Greninja and Ash passed out again from exhaustion. As a result, Gardevoir had to fend off Team Rocket while the two regained consciousness. Greninja and Ash soon recovered, and vowed to fully master their newfound transformation.

At the beginning of [[XY119]], Greninja was shown battling an opponent Trainer's {{p|Scizor}}, using Double Team to dodge an incoming attack. Despite Scizor's attempts to hit Greninja with {{m|Bullet Punch}}, Greninja knocked the Pincer Pokémon out with Aerial Ace. Later, during the three-on-three battle between Ash and Sawyer, Greninja was Ash's final Pokémon, going up against Sawyer's {{p|Clawitzer}}. It easily dodged Clawitzer's attempts to hit it with {{m|Dragon Pulse}} and powered through Clawitzer's {{m|Ice Beam}} with Cut, finishing off Clawitzer with a single hit from said attack. It then battled its rival, Sceptile. At first they exchanged blows evenly, with Greninja using Aerial Ace to counter Leaf Blade. When Sceptile attempted to use Bullet Seed to hit Greninja, Greninja blocked this with Water Shuriken. It then used Double Team to dodge Sceptile's Leaf Blade, but was forced to jump back when Sceptile attacked with another Leaf Blade after destroying its copies within seconds. Greninja then attempted to hit Sceptile with Cut, but Sceptile dodged the attack and hit it with Leaf Storm. After getting up, Greninja attempted to blindside Sceptile with its speed and hit it with Aerial Ace, but Sceptile dodged at the last moment and knocked Greninja away with its tail. Ash then attempted to use the Ash-Greninja form as Greninja circled around Sceptile again, moving too fast to be seen. However, much to Ash's shock and surprise, Greninja was not able to transform. Taking advantage of a now distracted and shocked Ash, Sawyer had Sceptile hit Greninja with another Leaf Storm, followed by a Leaf Blade, knocking Greninja out and leaving everyone present shocked. Ash then thanked Greninja and recalled it, but he was apparently left doubtful of his ability to master the form.

In [[XY120]], Greninja was Ash's final Pokémon used in his Gym battle against [[Wulfric]] and faced his {{p|Avalugg}}. Although damaged by the {{weather|Hail}}, which also gave Avalugg recovery because of its {{a|Ice Body}} ability, Greninja used its great speed to hit Avalugg with a strong Cut, after dodging the incoming {{m|Stone Edge}}. It then attacked with Aerial Ace, which Avalugg countered with {{m|Gyro Ball}}, repelling Greninja. Greninja then fired several Water Shurikens at Avalugg's feet while the latter kept spinning to shield itself. The cold, however, froze Avalugg's wet feet to the ground, leaving it wide open for another Cut. Now having gained the upper hand, Ash and Greninja were able to activate the Ash-Greninja form and completely overwhelmed Avalugg, sending it sliding backwards with a series of powerful hits from Aerial Ace. Wulfric, however, used Greninja's now even greater speed to his advantage by commanding Avalugg to use {{m|Avalanche}}, which was powered up due to Avalugg acting after its opponent, causing Ash visible pain. Greninja was then able to hit Avalugg with Cut after tearing through its Stone Edge, but Avalugg immediately retaliated by knocking Greninja in the air with another Stone Edge. After another exchange of blows with Aerial Ace and Avalanche, Greninja attacked with another Cut, but this time Avalugg caught it with {{m|Ice Fang}}, slowly freezing Greninja. Unable to escape Avalugg's fangs, Greninja was left vulnerable to a Gyro Ball, sending it flying into the Gym's wall, knocking it out, causing Ash to fall down as well. Ash later on oversaw Greninja lying unconscious in the [[Pokémon Center]], blaming himself for their loss and left into the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]] alone.

It was [[XY121|later]] revealed that Greninja was awake while Ash talked to it in the Pokémon Center and the following morning, Serena, Clemont and Bonnie found out it had left on its own as well. While sitting in a tree somewhere in the Winding Woods, Greninja thought back to its losses against Sawyer's Sceptile and Wulfric's Avalugg, leaving it upset. After thinking back to Ash's words in the Pokémon Center, Greninja decided to go and find him. Later, in the midst of a blizzard, Greninja came across Squishy in its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Zygarde|10% Form]], who was looking for Ash as well. Using Zygarde Cells, Squishy managed to locate Ash, who was trying to help a bunch of {{p|Spewpa}} to get out of a tree branch above a cliff, and informed Greninja. When Ash reached for the last Spewpa, the branch broke and both fell down the ravine. Greninja, however, arrived just in time to save Ash from falling by grabbing him with its tongue. A sudden gust of wind, however, caused Ash to lose grip of the Spewpa. Determined to save Spewpa, Ash and Greninja were able to activate the Ash-Greninja form and with their feelings in sync, Greninja was able to reach the final stage and perfect the Ash-Greninja form. While Greninja jumped down the cliff, Ash, able to share Greninja's vision, gave Greninja the proper commands to get both it and Spewpa safely on the ground. Afterwards, Ash and Greninja along with some forest Pokémon sought shelter in a cave, where the two made up and promised to start over from zero again. Later on, Ash and Greninja reunited with the group again and after Pikachu defeated Team Rocket they returned to the Pokémon Center. At the Pokémon Center, Greninja showed Ash its Poké Ball and rolled it over to him, like the time when it was first caught, signifiying their resolve to start over again.

In [[XY122|the following episode]], Greninja was Ash's final Pokémon during the rematch against Wulfric. It battled his {{p|Abomasnow}} this time, and despite a severe type-disadvantage and continuous damage from the Hail, it overpowered Abomasnow with its speedy attacks, hitting him hard with a super-effective Aerial Ace followed by Water Shuriken. Abomasnow tried countering with {{m|Energy Ball}}, but Greninja destroyed the attack with Cut, before it could be executed. It was obstructed by the Hail, however, giving Abomasnow a chance to properly charge his attacks and get a partly blocked hit in with {{m|Wood Hammer}}, freezing Greninja. Greninja, however, managed to break free from the ice and then transformed into Ash-Greninja. With its increased strength and speed, Greninja was now able to completely overpower Abomasnow, dealing major damage with Aerial Ace. Abomasnow tried hitting it with Wood Hammer, but Greninja easily outmaneuvered him and struck back with Cut before sending him flying into the ceiling using the big Water Shuriken on its back. Seeing the power of his opponent, Wulfric revealed his [[Key Stone]] to Ash and Mega Evolved Abomasnow. Against Mega Abomasnow, Greninja had a much harder time. Its Water Shuriken was immediately blocked by {{m|Ice Punch}} and Greninja then got hit by {{m|Ice Shard}}. Greninja, however, quickly retaliated by attacking with a Double Team-Cut combination, but Abomasnow was able to destroy all copies and hit the real Greninja with Wood Hammer. As Abomasnow fired another Ice Shard, Greninja headed in using Cut to destroy the shards and attack Abomasnow. Abomasnow, however, countered the attack with Ice Punch, knocking Greninja back as well as freezing its "knives". Greninja then, however, used the frozen knives as ice skates to dodge the incoming Wood Hammer and Ice Shard. It then forced Abomasnow to counter another Water Shuriken with Ice Punch, giving it the chance to finish Abomasnow off with a powerful Aerial Ace, giving Ash the win and earning him his final Kalos Badge, the {{badge|Iceberg}}.

==Personality and characteristics==
As a Froakie, it was a stubborn, picky Pokémon, displayed by the fact that it had several other Trainers that it refused to listen to, either forcing them to return it to Professor Sycamore or abandoning them and returning to the lab itself. It is also extremely similar to Ash personality wise, as it is not afraid to leap into danger regardless of its own safety and doesn't back down from a fight. It is clear that it recognizes these traits in Ash, hence why it was finally willing to accept being taken into Ash's wing. It also has a sense of honor, as demonstrated when it attacked {{AP|Fletchling}} just because it made {{an|Bonnie}} cry. In ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]'', it is shown to have a good judgement of character, as it became suspicious of Meowth when he pretended to side with it, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} under a temporary truce. Froakie is prone to blushing when praised, as shown when being thanked by Bonnie in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'' and {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} in ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]''. As shown in ''[[XY013|Kindergarden Chaos!]]'', Greninja as a Froakie gets embarrassed when losing in a bad way, such as when it lost because of Attract.

[[File:Ash-Greninja water veil.png|thumb|250px|Covered in a water veil as Ash-Greninja]]
Since evolving into a Frogadier, its personality remains largely the same. It is still shown to be loyal to Ash, as shown when it hugged him after its victory in the Coumarine City Gym battle. Greninja is a responsible Pokémon that can take initiative to protect friends and allies. In ''[[XY071|So You're Having a Bad Day!]]'', it volunteered to scout ahead to protect {{an|Serena}} and Chespin after they had gotten separated from the group. Greninja also appears to be good with younger Pokémon and children. As a Froakie, in addition to challenging Fletchling for making Bonnie cry, it was able to befriend the timid [[Randall]] during one of {{TRT}}'s schemes. As a Frogadier, it can be seen looking after {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} in ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'' while Ash and his friends were preparing gifts for their Pokémon. Greninja also seems to care deeply for its friends, as seen when it acted as bodyguard for Serena and Chespin in ''[[XY071|So You're Having a Bad Day!]]'', and protected the two from a wild {{p|Pangoro}}.

Greninja seems to appreciate and respect bravery and selflessness, and as such, aims to be so itself. This is first shown when it took a hit for Pikachu during Team Rocket's attack despite not knowing Pikachu or his Trainer, and then proceeded to help them both in combat. It respects those with these traits, as it does Ash. Greninja was impressed and surprised by Ash's willingness to put himself in danger to help a Garchomp that wasn't his Pokémon and barely knew, and admired this show of self sacrifice and selflessness to the point Frogadier went alongside Ash to face Garchomp. It also showed genuine concern for Ash's safety when Ash jumped off the Prism Tower. A lack of these traits in its previous Trainers may be what caused Greninja to leave them.

Greninja has been shown to enjoy battling, and seems to enjoy the opportunity to fight a strong opponent. Once recognizing Sawyer's Grovyle's strength, it developed a rivalry with it. It also seems to relish at both the thought, and the action of defeating a strong opponent, as seen when it grinned before fighting Sawyer's Grovyle, and defeating Grant's Onix.

Greninja's close bond with Ash was also one of his greatest insecurities, as their repeated failure to master the Ash-Greninja forme started to weigh heavily on trainer and Pokémon alike. When Ash left Greninja in the Pokémon center after the loss to Wulfric, out of a sense of guilt for Greninja's injuries, a saddened Greninja gave chase as soon as he recovered. It was revealed Greninja also felt responsible for their loss. After fully synchronizing their feelings to save a Spewpa, however, Ash explained to Greninja why he wanted to become a Pokémon Trainer, and that he saw his Pokémon as his closest friends. After that, Greninja and Ash came to fully understand each other.

===Ash-Greninja===
Shortly after evolving into Greninja, through its strong bond with Ash, he can call upon a transformation similar to [[Mega Evolution]], where it takes on an appearance resembling its Trainer while being covered in a water veil. In its final form, the water veil moves from around its body to its back and forms an "X" shape, which resemble wings, then the wings form into a small sphere shape of water on the middle of its back with a light blue ring in the middle of it and it then grows in size until it forms into a giant shuriken made of water. Its full capabilities are unknown, but it appears to give a significant boost in speed and power. This form comes with a side effect where whenever Greninja takes damage, the pain is shared with Ash in the same location where Greninja was hurt. Ash is also shown to be able to see from Greninja's point of view and will occasionally mimic Greninja's movements. Ash describes it as feeling like he "became" Greninja. It is revealed by Clemont's device that Ash and Greninja share the exact same heartbeat while Greninja is in the form and that the form can be accessed when Ash and Greninja's feelings synchronize. If the form is pushed too hard, it's possible for Ash to pass out from the resulting exhaustion and pain. The term "Ash-Greninja" was officially coined by Bonnie in [[XY120]]. During the [[XY121|next episode]], Ash and Greninja made amends and were able to trigger the transformation at will. [[XY122|By the time of their rematch against Wulfric]], Ash and Greninja were able to use the form without passing out, and although they still shared each others pain, it seemed to be more manageable for Ash to handle.

It reaches into the bubbles on its neck, pulling out handfuls of bubbles and throwing them at its opponents much like an actual attack. This is used usually to subdue the opponents and strike them while they are distracted. It can also be used as a kind of adhesive or as a cleaning agent (as in ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]''). Frogadier can also use the frubbles to make a copy of itself (as in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'') and to prevent {{status|poisoning}} (as seen in ''[[XY058|The Green, Green Grass Types of Home!]]''). It was also used to make a chain in order to catch someone from falling and pull them to safety (as seen in ''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]'' and ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]''). Froakie can also [[a:File:Ash Froakie hood.png|cover itself in a hood of bubbles]]. It is unknown if it can still use this ability as a Greninja.

==Trivia==
* With Froakie, this is the first time that Ash catches a [[starter Pokémon]] as his first Pokémon in a [[region]].
** Greninja is also the first of Ash's first regional catches that is not a {{2t|Normal|Flying}} dual-type since {{AP|Heracross}}, as well as the first one that is incapable of flying.
* Greninja is Ash's first Pokémon to be owned by more than one Trainer before him.
* In the dub of ''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]'', it was implied by Ash that Greninja is male, by calling it a "he".
* Greninja is the first {{type|Water}} [[starter Pokémon]] to have ever [[Evolution|evolved]] under Ash's ownership.
** Greninja is also the first fully evolved Water-type starter Pokémon owned by a main character.
** As a Froakie, Greninja was also Ash's first Water type to evolve under his ownership since ''[[EP075|Round One - Begin!]]'', 777 episodes earlier, when {{p|Krabby}} evolved into {{AP|Kingler}}.
** Greninja is also Ash's first Water-type to have evolved twice.
* Greninja is the first of Ash's starter Pokémon to have its Egg revealed on-screen.
** It is also the first Pokémon owned by a main character in the anime to have evolved twice after hatching from an Egg.
* In the original Japanese version of ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', Frogadier, as a Froakie in a dream, spoke in archaic Japanese, a trope common among ninjas in modern Japanese fiction.
* When Greninja evolved from Frogadier in ''[[XY100|A Festival of Decisions!]]'', it evolved in a similar situation to when it evolved from Froakie in ''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]'', with [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Sanpei]]'s Greninja already hit by the enemy and were laying down in defeat.
** The episode in which Frogadier evolved into Greninja aired in Japan almost exactly a year after the episode in which it evolved from Froakie to Frogadier (364 days later, one day shy of being a full year).
* Ash's Greninja is the only Pokémon that possesses a new evolution technique which hasn't been known yet.

List of Pokémon with form differences

2016-06-12T07:23:11Z

Lego3400: /* Flabébé, Floette, and Florges{{anchor|Flabébé}}{{anchor|Floette}}{{anchor|Florges}} */

[[File:Cherrim Sunshine Form anime.png|thumb|{{p|Cherrim}} changing between forms in the anime]]
Some Pokémon have official major [[Variant Pokémon|variations]] between individuals, known as '''forms''' (Japanese: '''すがた''' ''form''). These variations all have differing sprites in the games and are recognized by the "forms" section of the [[Pokédex]].

Starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, every official different form has a name given by the [[Pokédex]], but {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Genesect}}, and {{p|Furfrou}}'s alternate forms were not registered in the Pokédex prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. From Generation II to IV, whichever sprite is seen first will be the one displayed in the Pokédex by default; e.g., if West Sea Shellos was encountered first its sprite will appear in the Pokédex by default, whereas if East Sea Shellos was encountered first its sprite will. In Generation V, the sprite displayed in the Pokédex can be changed upon reaching [[Mistralton City]], even to a {{Shiny}} sprite, if it has been encountered. In Generation VI, the sprite can be changed as long as the player has owned the Pokémon.

At times, these differences are purely cosmetic and have no bearing on the difference in the Pokémon's stats from another; however, several Pokémon differ in stats (other than HP), [[type]], and [[Ability]] depending on their form. Among these are several {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], whose unique forms can be changed between at will and are usually spelled as '''Formes''' (Japanese: '''フォルム''' ''Forme'').

==Pokémon with multiple forms==
===Pikachu===
{{main|Cosplay Pikachu}}
Cosplay Pikachu is a unique female Pikachu who has a black heart-shaped mark near the end of its tail. This unique Pikachu is able to be dressed up into five different costumes corresponding to each kind of {{pkmn|Contest}} category ({{OBP|Cool|condition|Coolness}}, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition|Cuteness}}, {{OBP|Clever|condition|Cleverness}}, and {{OBP|Tough|condition|Toughness}}) and learn an exclusive move associated with that Contest category. Cosplay Pikachu can switch costumes anytime. It will lose the move it had with the last costume (if it still knows it), and gain the move from the new costume. Unlike other Pikachu, it cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]].

If Cosplay Pikachu removes its costume while the only move it knows is the move tied to its costume, it learns {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} (the only games it appears in), after the player takes part in their first [[Pokémon Contest]], a Breeder will give the player Cosplay Pikachu. Unlike regular Pikachu, Cosplay Pikachu cannot be deposited into [[Pokémon Bank]]; however, they can be traded between copies of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].

===Pichu===
{{main|Spiky-eared Pichu}}
Spiky-eared Pichu is a unique female Pichu who has a tuft of hair on the end of its left ear. Spiky-eared Pichu's [[Pokéathlon]] [[performance]] stats are different than a normal Pichu's. She cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or be [[trade]]d, and she cannot be [[Poké Transfer|transferred]] to the [[Generation V]] games.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} (the only games it appears in), if the player takes a {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu}} to the [[Ilex Forest]], Spiky-eared Pichu will join the player.

|}

===Unown===
{{p|Unown}} has many forms, each corresponding to a typographical character. It was the first Pokémon to have multiple forms in the games. From its debut in [[Generation II]], there are 26 forms of Unown, each corresponding to each of the twenty-six letters of the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}. Starting in the [[Generation III]] games, Unown has two additional forms, corresponding to the {{wp|question mark}} and {{wp|exclamation mark}}. These forms are not interchangeable.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there is a special [[Unown Mode]], an upgrade to the Pokédex that was developed by the researchers at the [[Ruins of Alph]] to record the different forms of Unown, which is available after the player had caught several Unown. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there is the [[Unown Report]], which is obtainable after the player completes the first tile puzzle in the [[Ruins of Alph]].

In the Generation II games, Unown's form is determined by its {{IV}}s, which results in some strange phenomena; for example, in Generation II, only Unown I and V can be {{Shiny}} due to Shiniess also being determined by IVs in these games. In the [[Generation III]] games, Unown's form is determined by its [[personality value]]. From the Generation IV games onward, an independent value determines the Pokémon form.

Though the form has no bearing on [[base stats]], punctuation Unown have different [[performance]] stats to alphabetical Unown.

|}

===Castform===
{{p|Castform}} has four different forms, which its [[Ability]] {{a|Forecast}} causes it to change between in different types of [[weather]]. It is the first Pokémon to have interchangeable forms in battle in the games.

Normally, Castform is {{type|Normal}} and has a plain appearance with a gray body. It takes on this form in clear weather, in any weather without a specific form, and if the weather has its effects negated by {{a|Cloud Nine}} or {{a|Air Lock}}.

In [[harsh sunlight]], Forecast changes Castform to its Sunny Form, which is {{type|Fire}} and resembles the sun. In [[rain]], Forecast changes Castform to its Rainy Form, which is {{type|Water}} and resembles a raindrop. In {{weather|hail}}, Forecast changes Castform to its Snowy Form, which is {{type|Ice}} and resembles a snowy cloud. Castform reverts to its normal form when [[Recall|withdrawn]] from battle.

In Generation III and IV, if Castform's Ability {{a|Forecast}} is suppressed or replaced, Castform will remain in its current form (regardless of the weather). In Generation V onward, if Castform's Ability {{a|Forecast}} is suppressed or replaced, Castform will revert to its normal form (regardless of the weather).

Castform's [[stats]] do not change between any of these forms.

|}

===Deoxys===
{{p|Deoxys}} has four different forms which it can switch between. It was the first Pokémon whose [[base stats]] and [[move]] compatibility differed depending on its form.

In the [[Generation III]] games, Deoxys's forms are game-specific, such that it will always be in one particular form while in the player's possession (although it will be in Normal Forme in the wild).
*In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}, it will be in Normal Forme.
*In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}, it will be in Attack Forme.
*In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}, it will be in Defense Forme.
*In {{game|Emerald}}, it will be in Speed Forme.

From Generation IV onward, the player can switch between its forms using meteorites found in the game.
*In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, using meteorites outside in [[Veilstone City]].
*In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, using meteorites outside on {{rt|3|Kanto}}.
*In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, using meteorites in the {{DL|Nacrene City|Nacrene Museum}} in [[Nacrene City]].
*In {{g|X and Y}}, using meteorites in the {{DL|Ambrette Town|Fossil Lab}} in [[Ambrette Town]].
*In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, using the meteorite in [[Professor Cozmo]]'s house in [[Fallarbor Town]].

Deoxys's Normal Forme is the default form it takes, as well as the form it appears in in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. In this form, its stats are more balanced, though it is notably far more offensive than it is defensive.

Deoxys's Attack Forme has higher {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} than its other forms (being the non-Mega Evolved Pokémon with the highest Attack and Special Attack) and learns more offensive moves. Its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} are abysmal, much lower than its Normal Form. Its {{stat|Speed}} remains the same as its Normal Forme.

Deoxys's Defense Forme has much higher {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} than its other forms and learns more defensive moves. Its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are much lower than its Normal Forme, and its {{stat|Speed}} is also significantly lower than its Normal Forme.

Deoxys's Speed Forme has much higher {{stat|Speed}} than its other forms (being the Pokémon with the highest Speed) and learns many increased [[priority]] moves.

Deoxys has the same {{stat|HP}} stat in all of its forms.

===Burmy and Wormadam===
Both {{p|Burmy}} and its female evolution, {{p|Wormadam}}, have three separate forms. Burmy can change form freely, changing its cloak depending on the environment in which it last participated in a battle (so {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}} alone will not change its form). Wormadam cannot change form; when a Burmy evolves into Wormadam, it retains its cloak.

Apart from {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[evolution]], Burmy's cloak is purely cosmetic; conversely, different cloaks of Wormadam have different [[type]]s, stats and learnsets. Bred Burmy will have the same cloak as the mother, will be in the same cloak as a Burmy or Wormadam bred with Ditto, or will be in Plant Cloak if bred from a {{p|Mothim}} and a {{p|Ditto}}.

If a Burmy last battled in a grassy area or water, it changes into its Plant Cloak. If female, Plant Cloak Burmy will evolve into Plant Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of leaves and twigs.

If a Burmy last battled in a sandy or rocky area, it changes into its Sandy Cloak. If female, Sandy Cloak Burmy will evolve into Sandy Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of sand and rocks.

If a Burmy last battled in a building or urban area, it changes into its Trash Cloak. If female, Trash Cloak Burmy will evolve into Trash Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of pink {{wp|building insulation|insulation}}.

===Cherrim===
{{p|Cherrim}} changes form depending on the [[weather]]. During [[harsh sunlight]], it changes into Sunshine Form; otherwise, it is in its Overcast Form. Due to its Ability {{a|Flower Gift}}, its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} will also increase in its Sunshine Form.

In Generation IV, Cherrim changes form independently of its Ability. Starting in Generation V, it is Cherrim's Ability that changes its form.

In Japanese, the names of Cherrim's forms use 「フォルム」 ''form'', the term otherwise only used in the names of forms localized as Forme in English.

===Shellos and Gastrodon===
{{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} differ in appearance depending on where they were caught. This is purely a cosmetic change, and these Pokémon cannot change between forms.

In [[Sinnoh]], West Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are encountered west of [[Mt. Coronet]], and are pink in color; East Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are encountered east of Mt. Coronet, and are blue in color. There is also a slight difference in bodily appearance depending on the form.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Shellos are the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Shellos or Gastrodon parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

===Rotom===
{{redirect|Heat|the Badge given by [[Flannery]]|Badge#Heat Badge|Badge → Heat Badge}}
[[File:Rotom parts.png|thumb|Rotom and the appliances]]
{{p|Rotom}} has five alternate forms it can change between, in addition to its normal form. To take on these alternate forms, Rotom possesses a different {{wp|household appliance}}, and each has its own special [[move]]. These alternate forms were introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.

*Normal Rotom, which has not possessed an appliance, is {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}
*Heat Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|microwave oven}}, knows {{m|Overheat}} and is {{2t|Electric|Fire}}
*Wash Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|washing machine}}, knows {{m|Hydro Pump}} and is {{2t|Electric|Water}}
*Frost Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|refrigerator}}, knows {{m|Blizzard}} and is {{2t|Electric|Ice}}
*Fan Rotom, which has possessed an {{wp|mechanical fan|electric fan}}, knows {{m|Air Slash}} and is {{2t|Electric|Flying}}
*Mow Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|lawn mower|lawnmower}}, knows {{m|Leaf Storm}} and is {{2t|Electric|Grass}}

In [[Generation IV]], all forms of Rotom are {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}-type; from Generation V onward, the appliance forms replace the Ghost type with the type of their associated move. All appliance forms have the same base stat total, which is higher than that of normal Rotom; the only base stat of normal Rotom that is higher than its appliance forms is its Speed.

In Pokémon Platinum, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], which can only be accessed by using the {{key|IV|Secret Key}}. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in [[Silph Co.]], which can be accessed when entering the broken elevator with Rotom as the [[walking Pokémon]]. In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of [[Shopping Mall Nine]]. In {{g|X and Y}}, the appliances are located in boxes on the second floor of the Sycamore Pokémon Lab in [[Lumiose City]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the appliances are located in boxes in [[Professor Birch]]'s lab in [[Littleroot Town]]. Using these locations, Rotom can also return the appliance to change back to normal form.

Upon changing from an appliance form, it will forget the special move associated with that appliance form. Upon changing into an appliance form, it will learn the special move associated with the form. When changing form, if Rotom knows four moves but not the special move of its previous form, the player will be prompted to replace a move with the new exclusive move (Rotom cannot change to an appliance form unless it does). If Rotom's only known move is its special move and it changes to its normal form, then the Rotom will learn {{m|Thunder Shock}}. In [[Generation IV]] and {{gen|V}}, if Rotom forgets the move that is tied to its appliance form, it changes back into its normal form; in Generation VI, Rotom can remain in an appliance form even if it forgets the associated special move.

[[Pokémon Egg|Hatched]] Rotom are always in normal form.

In [[Generation IV]], Rotom changes back to its normal form when taken into the [[Union Room]] or [[Wi-Fi Club]], or when deposited in the {{pkmn|Day Care}}.

Rotom's appliance forms first appeared as silhouettes in August 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, with a statement that indicated that these Pokémon would be in the game. Days before the game's release, it was revealed that these Pokémon were the alternate forms of Rotom. These new forms made their debut in Pokémon Platinum, and have been included in every [[core series]] game since.

===Giratina===
{{p|Giratina}} has two forms it can change between.

In the [[Pokémon world]], it is normally in its Altered Forme, which is a winged hexapod; in the [[Distortion World]] or while holding a {{DL|Timespace orbs|Griseous Orb}}, it is in its Origin Forme, which is serpentine with six appendages. The Origin Forme was introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.

The two forms have different stats and Abilities; the Origin Forme is more offense-oriented, while the Altered Forme is more defense-oriented.

===Shaymin===
{{p|Shaymin}} has two forms it can change between.

Normally, Shaymin is in its Land Forme, which is {{type|Grass}} and resembles a hedgehog. When exposed to a [[Gracidea]], Shaymin transforms into its Sky Forme, which is {{2t|Grass|Flying}}-type and white in color; however, Shaymin's Sky Forme will change back into its Land Forme at night, while {{status|frozen}}, or when deposited into the [[PC]]. The Sky Forme was introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.

The two forms have different stats, {{Abilities}}, [[type]]s, learnsets, and [[cry|cries]].

===Arceus===
{{p|Arceus}} has eighteen different type form variations, which correspond to the eighteen different [[type]]s.

Arceus's type depends on its held [[Plate]], becoming the same type as the type that Plate enhances, remaining {{type|Normal}} when not holding a Plate.

While its base stats remain constant despite its changing type, its [[Pokéathlon]] performance differs. Additionally, it can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} only while holding the {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate}}.

In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is unused data and a sprite programmed for a {{type|???}} {{p|Arceus}}, but it cannot be obtained in the games as there is no ???-type Plate. This data no longer exists in [[Generation V]] due to the removal of the ??? type.

Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Arceus's alternate forms are not registered in the [[Pokédex]].

===Basculin===
{{p|Basculin}} has two different forms, the Red-Striped Form and the Blue-Striped Form. The Red-Striped Form has a red stripe with wide eyes and spiky fins; the Blue-Striped Form has a blue stripe with squinted eyes and smooth fins. These forms are non-interchangeable.

*In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black}} and {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2}}, Red-Striped Basculin can be encountered normally, while Blue-Striped Basculin can only be encountered by {{m|surf}}ing on or [[fishing]] in [[Phenomenon|swirling water]].
*In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon White}} and {{game|Black and White|s 2|White 2}}, Blue-Striped Basculin can be encountered normally, while Red-Striped Basculin can only be encountered by surfing on or fishing in swirling water.
*In {{pkmn|X and Y|X}}, Blue-Striped Basculin can only be encountered using a {{DL|Fishing|Good Rod}} while Red-Striped Basculin can only be encountered using a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}}. This order is reversed in {{pkmn|X and Y|Y}}, with Red-Striped Basculin requiring a Good Rod and Blue-Striped Basculin requiring a Super Rod.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Basculin are the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Basculin parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

Wild Red-Striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaTooth}} while wild Blue-Striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaScale}}.

In Pokémon Black and White, Blue-Striped Basculin have the same two standard possible Abilities as Red-Striped Basculin—{{a|Reckless}} and {{a|Adaptability}} (and are listed as such in [[Pokédex 3D]]); however, the Blue-Striped Basculin that can be obtained via in-game trade in White has the Ability {{a|Rock Head}}. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, wild Blue-Striped Basculin's two standard possible Abilities are {{a|Rock Head}} and {{a|Adaptability}}, while Red-Striped Basculin's stay the same (and are listed as such in [[Pokédex 3D Pro]]); however, Blue-Striped Basculin [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 have Reckless and Adaptability as their two standard Abilities. When a Blue-Striped Basculin with Reckless is transferred from [[Generation V]] to [[Generation VI]], its Ability is changed to Rock Head.

===Darmanitan===
If {{p|Darmanitan}} has {{a|Zen Mode}} as its Ability, it changes from Standard Mode into Zen Mode when its HP drops to below half in battle. It can only remain in Zen Mode in battle.

Standard Mode Darmanitan is {{type|Fire}} and red in color. Zen Mode Darmanitan is {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}-type and blue in color.

The two forms have different stats, such that Zen Mode Darmanitan swaps the Attack and Special Attack of Standard Mode, and has higher defenses but lower Speed.

|}

===Deerling and Sawsbuck===
{{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} have four different interchangeable forms, each corresponding to a [[seasons|season]]. These forms are purely cosmetic.

In the [[Generation V]] games, Deerling and Sawsbuck will only change their form to match the current season if they are in the player's [[party]] when: the player steps outside from a [[cave]] or building such that the season changes, the player receives an {{pkmn|Egg}} from the [[Pokémon Day Care|Day-Care]] Man, or a saved game is loaded. All wild, [[Pokémon breeding|bred]], or NPC Trainer-owned Deerling and Sawsbuck will match the current season, with the exception of Trainers in the [[Battle Subway]] and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] where these Pokémon are always in Spring Form.

In [[Generation VI]], all wild and NPC Trainer-owned Deerling and Sawsbuck appear in Spring Form. Because seasons have been abandoned as a mechanic, Deerling and Sawsbuck do not change appearance, and their Summer, Autumn, and Winter forms must be [[Poké Transporter|transferred]] from a [[Generation V]] game. Bred Deerling are the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Deerling or Sawsbuck parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

===Forces of Nature{{anchor|Tornadus}}{{anchor|Thundurus}}{{anchor|Landorus}}===
The [[Forces of Nature]]—{{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}—have two interchangeable forms each.

Normally, they are in their Incarnate Forme. When exposed to a [[Reveal Glass]], they change into their Therian Forme. Their Therian Formes were introduced in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].

The two forms have different stats, {{Abilities}}, and [[cry|cries]]. Even if they have their Hidden Ability, in Therian Forme each Pokémon only has one possible Ability.

In the [[Generation V]] games, they cannot be traded while in their Therian Forme.

|}

===Kyurem===
{{p|Kyurem}}, in addition to its normal form, has two other forms: White Kyurem and Black Kyurem. They are the [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], which they were introduced in.

In the games, Kyurem changes its form through the use of the [[DNA Splicers]], which fuses it with {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}. The combination retains Kyurem's Poké Ball and [[held item]]. This fusion is reversible, with Reshiram or Zekrom remaining unaltered from before being fused, including whatever item it may have been holding. The DNA Splicers can only fuse one Kyurem at a time. White Kyurem and Black Kyurem cannot be deposited into [[Pokémon Bank]], nor can they be [[trade]]d.

White Kyurem has the Ability {{a|Turboblaze}}, learns the moves {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Ice Burn}}, and its cry is a combination of normal Kyurem and Reshiram's cries.

Black Kyurem has the Ability {{a|Teravolt}}, learns the moves {{m|Fusion Bolt}} and {{m|Freeze Shock}}, and its cry is a combination of normal Kyurem and Zekrom's cries.

===Keldeo===
{{p|Keldeo}} has two interchangeable forms: Ordinary Form and Resolute Form. These forms are mostly cosmetic. The Resolute Form was introduced in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].

If Keldeo is taught {{m|Secret Sword}} in Pokémon Black 2 or White 2 or a Generation VI game, it will change into Resolute Form. If it forgets Secret Sword, it returns to Ordinary Form. Keldeo taught Secret Sword in {{game|Black and White|s}} remain in Ordinary Form in other games.

===Meloetta===
{{p|Meloetta}} has two interchangeable forms: Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme. Aria Forme is {{2t|Normal|Psychic}}. Pirouette Forme is {{2t|Normal|Fighting}}.

Normally, it is in Aria Forme, which is the only form it can take outside of battle. If Meloetta uses the move {{m|Relic Song}} in battle, it changes between the two forms. It reverts to Aria Forme if withdrawn.

===Genesect===
In the games, {{p|Genesect}} changes forms when a [[Drive]] is attached to its back. These forms have no direct effect, although they do change the type of Genesect's [[signature move]] {{m|Techno Blast}}.

*If no Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Normal}} and Genesect will appear to have a dark yellow Drive.
*If a Shock Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Electric}} and Genesect will appear to have a light yellow Drive.
*If a Burn Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Fire}} and Genesect will appear to have a red Drive.
*If a Chill Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Ice}} and Genesect will appear to have an ice blue Drive.
*If a Douse Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Water}} and Genesect will appear to have a blue Drive.

Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Genesect's alternate appearances are not registered in the [[Pokédex]].

{{p|Vivillon}} has 18 different distinct patterns depending on the set geographic location of its [[original Trainer]]'s [[Nintendo 3DS]]. This form cannot be changed. The pattern of Vivillon encountered within a game is set when the save file is created.

Bred {{p|Scatterbug}} will evolve into {{p|Vivillon}} with the same pattern as that of the breeding player's game, regardless of its parents.

===Flabébé, Floette, and Florges{{anchor|Flabébé}}{{anchor|Floette}}{{anchor|Florges}}===
{{p|Flabébé}} and {{p|Floette}} can hold five different-colored flowers based on the color of the flower bed they were caught in: red, yellow, orange, blue, and white. When Floette evolves into {{p|Florges}}, it maintains that color flower. The color of the flower cannot be changed.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Flabébé have the same color flower as their mother.

Since only Blue Flower, Red Flower, and Yellow Flower Floette can appear in the [[Friend Safari]], only these forms of Flabébé, Floette and Florges can have their Hidden Ability {{a|Symbiosis}}.

[[File:AZ's Floette.png|thumb|200px|AZ's unique Floette]]
In the storyline of {{pkmn|X and Y}}, there is also a unique Floette who [[AZ]] befriended in ages past. The flower it wields has a different design than normal; it also has a blue, red, and white color instead of green, yellow, and white, reflecting the colors of the {{wp|Flag of France|French tricolor}}. Similar to the ???-type Arceus, there is unused data for a trainable unique Floette.

===Furfrou===
{{p|Furfrou}} can be groomed into one of ten different trims. These trims will only last five days after the {{player}} has groomed the Pokémon, or until the player deposits it in the PC.

Furfrou can be groomed at {{DL|Lumiose City|Friseur Furfrou}} in [[Lumiose City]] or at the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Slateport City]]. At both locations, grooming costs {{PDollar}}500. At Friseur Furfrou, the player cannot initially select from all of the trims, with trims being unlocked gradually as the player becomes more [[Lumiose City#Style|stylish]].

Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Furfrou's trims are not registered in the [[Pokédex]].

===Aegislash===
{{p|Aegislash}}, due to its Ability {{a|Stance Change}}, can change forms in battle depending on the move it uses. Initially in Shield Forme, using a damaging move will change it to Blade Forme, while using {{m|King's Shield}} will change it back into Shield Forme. Outside of battle it is always in Shield Forme.

Shield Forme Aegislash has high {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, while Blade Forme Aegislash has high {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}.

===Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist{{anchor|Pumpkaboo}}{{anchor|Gourgeist}}===
{{p|Pumpkaboo}} and {{p|Gourgeist}} can be of Small, Average, Large and Super Size. Larger sizes of Pumpkaboo are rarer to encounter in the wild.

Different sizes have different base stats. For Pumpkaboo, with each increase in size, its base HP stat increases by 5 points while its base Speed stat decreases by 5 points. For Gourgeist, with each increase in size, its base HP stat increases by 10 points and its base Attack stat increases by 5 points while its base Speed stat decreases by 15 points. Consequently, the base stat total of a Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist does not vary with size.

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Pumpkaboo are the same size as their mother, or the same form as the Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

Wild Super Size Pumpkaboo will always hold a {{DL|Type-enhancing held item|Miracle Seed}}, whereas other sizes will never hold an item in the wild. Super Size variants have different, lower pitched cries than the other forms.

Only Average Size and Super Size Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist can have their Hidden Ability {{a|Insomnia}}. Average Size can be obtained with its Hidden Ability from the [[Friend Safari]]; Super Size can be obtained with its Hidden Ability as the [[Spooky 2014 Super Size Pumpkaboo]].

===Xerneas===
{{p|Xerneas}} has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in battle, and appears in Neutral Mode in situations outside of battle, such as cutscenes, the Pokédex, the [[Party|Pokémon]] screen, and [[Pokémon-Amie]]. According to the Pokédex, Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.

Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, the protrusions on its horns as well as its back spots light up in several colors.

|}

===Zygarde===
{{p|Zygarde}} has five known forms. All five forms debuted in the {{pkmn|anime}}'s ''XY&Z'' arc of the {{series|XY}}.

A Zygarde Cell is a single cell of Zygarde. They can be found scattered throughout the region. They do not have thoughts or will, and can communicate with Zygarde Cores via telepathy. They are incapable of performing [[move]]s.

A Zygarde Core is the "brain" of Zygarde. They can communicate with Zygarde Cells and other cores via telepathy. They take action when the region's ecosystem is threatened. There are two known variations: one with a red hexagon on its chest and another one with a blue hexagon.

Zygarde 10% Forme is a Zygarde with 10% of its cells. It has razor-sharp teeth, and can reach speeds up to 60 mph (100 km/h). This form will debut in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].

Zygarde 50% Forme is a Zygarde with 50% of its cells. It watches over and maintains the local ecosystem. This form debuted in [[Pokémon X and Y]].

Zygarde Complete Forme is a Zygarde with 100% of its cells. Zygarde only takes on this form when the ecosystem is under threat and the Core believes Zygarde 50% Forme is unable to deal with it. Its power is said to exceed that of {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. This form will debut in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].

===Hoopa===
{{p|Hoopa}} has two Formes it can change between, using the [[Prison Bottle]] to temporarily change to its more powerful Forme.

Normally, Hoopa Confined is the Forme taken by Hoopa, which is {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}}. When exposed to a [[Prison Bottle]], Hoopa transforms into Hoopa Unbound, which is {{2t|Psychic|Dark}}; however, Hoopa Unbound will change back into Hoopa Confined after three days have passed since using the Prison Bottle, or when deposited in the [[PC]] or [[Pokémon Day Care]]. Hoopa Unbound was introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

The two forms have different stats, [[type]]s, learnsets, and [[cry|cries]].

Methods of Evolution

2016-06-02T19:08:51Z

Lego3400: /* Evolving by evolutionary stone */

There are numerous '''methods of evolution''' which define how and when Pokémon [[Evolution|evolve]]. Most Pokémon will evolve by leveling up while others evolve through specific means, such as being traded, achieving a certain amount of friendship or leveling at certain times, among others.

==Triggers==
Across all generations, Pokémon may only evolve after one of three events:
*Gaining a [[level]]
*{{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone|Being exposed to an evolutionary stone}}
*{{cat|Pokémon that evolve through trading|Being traded}}

Though these three are the activating events for evolution, there is always a catalyst required for the evolution to begin. If the catalyst is present and the evolutionary event is activated, the Pokémon will evolve at the end of the process that caused the activating event (at the end of a battle or after a trade has been completed). An {{evostone|Everstone}} held by the Pokémon will always prevent the evolution by level up or trade, but not by exposure to an evolutionary stone (except the evolution of {{p|Kadabra}} to {{p|Alakazam}} via trade in Generations IV and V, due to a glitch).

==Leveling up==
Most Pokémon that evolve do so after leveling up. This can be triggered by gaining [[experience]] in battle or by using a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}}. Sometimes, several additional conditions must be met in addition to gaining a level for a Pokémon to evolve, such as being at or above a specific level, knowing a move, or being in a specific location. When these conditions are met, a Pokémon will attempt to evolve every time it gains a level unless the conditions are removed. A Pokémon left in the {{pkmn|Day Care}} will not evolve, though, even if the conditions are met. Before [[Generation VI]], Pokémon would not evolve if player loses the battle, no matter if the conditions have been met.

Note that if a Pokémon levels up under the conditions required for evolution and then faints before the battle is over, the Pokémon will still attempt to evolve at the end of the battle, but it will not be revived from fainting.

|}{{-}}

===At or above a certain level===
{{Main|List of Pokémon that evolve at or above a certain level}}
Most Pokémon, with at least one in nearly every evolution family, will evolve when they reach or surpass a certain level. A Pokémon that levels up to or beyond this level will attempt to evolve every time it does so, at the end of the battle in which it attained this level or after a Rare Candy has been used.

===When friendship is high===
:''See also: {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by friendship}}''
Some Pokémon will only evolve when their [[friendship]] reaches 220 or above and they are leveled up. This is most common with [[baby Pokémon]]; however, some others also evolve in this way. Like the friendship system itself, this method of evolution debuted in [[Generation II]]. Like those which evolve when at or above a certain level, a happy Pokémon will attempt to evolve every level until it hits level 100, unless its friendship is reduced.

Although {{p|Pichu}} evolves when its friendship is high, the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is an exception and will never evolve.

|}{{-}}

===When the Pokémon knows a certain move===
:''See also: {{cat|Pokémon that evolve with certain moves}}''
Some Pokémon evolve only if they currently know a certain move and are then leveled up. These moves are commonly available by leveling up (in which case the Pokémon will evolve at the end of the battle in which it learned the move), though some must be taught via [[Move Reminder]]. This method was introduced in [[Generation IV]].

===When trained in a certain area===
:''See also: {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by training in a certain location}}''
Some Pokémon can evolve if they gain a level while training in a certain location. Several evolutions introduced in Generation IV take advantage of this. So far, this method has only been possible in the [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Hoenn]]{{sup/6|OR}}{{sup/6|AS}} regions.

===At certain times===
:''See also: {{cat|Pokémon that evolve based on time}}''
The current [[time]] of day will sometimes affect evolution. It is occasionally used in tandem with another method, such as [[friendship]] or a [[held item]].

{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; {{roundy}} border: 2px solid #{{dragon color}}; background: #{{rock color}};"

===When holding an item===
:''See also: {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by leveling up with a held item}}''
Several Pokémon evolve if they level up while holding a specific [[evolution-inducing held item]]. When this occurs, the item disappears upon completion of the evolution. Currently, every Pokémon who evolves in this way must also level up during a certain period of [[time]].

{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; {{roundy}} border: 2px solid #{{ice color}}; background: #{{dark color}};"
|-

===Unique conditions===
The following Pokémon evolve through a method that is isolated to their evolution line only.

* In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] only, {{p|Eevee}} evolves into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} when it levels up if the [[Sun and Moon Shards|Sun or Moon Shard]], respectively, is in the [[Bag]]. Only one of the two shards can be obtained.
* Eevee evolves into {{p|Sylveon}} when it levels up if it knows a {{type|Fairy}} move and has at least two Affection hearts in [[Pokémon-Amie]].
* {{p|Mantyke}} evolves into {{p|Mantine}} when it levels up if there is a {{p|Remoraid}} in the player's party.
* {{p|Feebas}} evolves into {{p|Milotic}} when it levels up if its {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}} [[Contest condition|condition]] is 170 or above. From [[Generation V]] onward, it can also evolve when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Prism Scale}}.
* {{p|Combee}} evolves into a {{p|Vespiquen}} at level 21 if it is female. Male Combee do not evolve.
* When {{p|Nincada}} evolves into {{p|Ninjask}} at level 20, if there is an empty slot in the party, a {{p|Shedinja}} will appear. From Generation IV onward, the player must also have a spare standard {{ball|Poké}} in their Bag.
* {{p|Pancham}} evolves into {{p|Pangoro}} starting at level 32 if there is a {{type|Dark}} Pokémon in the user's party.
* {{p|Inkay}} evolves into {{p|Malamar}} starting at level 30 while the [[Nintendo 3DS]] system is held upside-down.
* {{p|Sliggoo}} evolves into {{p|Goodra}} starting at level 50 if it is [[rain]]ing in the overworld. Rain caused by {{m|Rain Dance}} or {{a|Drizzle}} will not trigger the evolution.

===Additional factors===
Some Pokémon from branched evolution families evolve into different forms depending on some additional factors. These factors are not conditions for evolution, since they do not determine the possibility of evolution, but what the Pokémon will become after evolution.

*{{p|Burmy}} evolves at level 20, but its new form is determined by its gender and, if female, its cloak (which changes according to the place where it has battled last time).
**Male Burmy → {{p|Mothim}}
**Female Burmy → {{p|Wormadam}}, but the type combination of Wormadam is determined by the cloak.
***With Plant Cloak (after battling in the wild) → {{t|Bug}}/{{t|Grass}} Wormadam
***With Sandy Cloak (after battling in a cave or on a beach) → {{t|Bug}}/{{t|Ground}} Wormadam.
***With Trash Cloak (after battling in a building) → {{t|Bug}}/{{t|Steel}} Wormadam.

*{{p|Tyrogue}} evolves at level 20, depending on its stats.
**{{p|Hitmonlee}} if Attack > Defense
**{{p|Hitmonchan}} if Attack < Defense
**{{p|Hitmontop}} if Attack = Defense

*{{p|Wurmple}} evolves at level 7 into {{p|Silcoon}} or {{p|Cascoon}} depending on its [[personality value]]. It is a hidden value determined when the Pokémon is caught and cannot be affected by the player.

==Evolving by evolutionary stone==
{{main|Evolutionary stone}}
:''See also: {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}''
Some Pokémon evolve when they are exposed to an [[evolutionary stone]]. The stone may be applied at any time and causes an instant evolution. The player can decide whether and when to evolve his or her Pokémon, but he or she must choose carefully as most Pokémon will no longer be able to learn certain moves when they evolve in this way, and some (like {{p|Raichu}} and {{p|Togekiss}}) cannot learn any moves by leveling up, although there are {{DL|Exchangeable item|Heart Scale|exceptions}} to this rule and certain moves are exclusive to the stone-evolved Pokémon.

The starter Pikachu on Pokémon Yellow (or any Pikachu with the same OT and ID number) will refuse to take the Thunderstone. Also, the [[Cosplay Pikachu]] in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} is unable to evolve.

{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; {{roundy}} border: 2px solid #{{fire color dark}}; background: #{{fire color}};"
|-

|}{{-}}

Note that sometimes the [[Evolution-inducing held item#Oval Stone|Oval Stone]] is said to be an evolutionary stone, because it is a stone and it is required for an evolution. However, technically Oval Stone is an evolution-inducing held item, which Happiny must be holding to evolve into Chansey when it levels up. While it could be selected in the bag in Generation IV and used like an evolutionary stone, it had no effect on any Pokémon.

==Evolution via trading==
:''Main article: [[Trade]]''
:''See also: {{cat|Pokémon that evolve through trading}}''
A few Pokémon evolve only when they are [[trade]]d. The evolution starts immediately after the trade is completed, regardless of the method of trading used. However, sometimes there are additional conditions. In the anime, Pokémon that evolve by trade sometimes evolve after being temporarily in a different person's possession, like Misty's Politoed being with Nurse Joy at the Pokémon Center and Brock's Steelix when he lent Onix to his brother Forrest.

::Yeah, since katakana is used for words that are derived from another language (including English). Like in [[Clemontic Gear|Citronic Gear]] (シトロニック'''ギア'''; which is romanized character-by-character as ''Shitoronikku Gia''). We don't do the romanizations of the separate characters, that's the secondary romanization system used here I believe. The official romanization used by the Japanese Pokémon Company is Magearna, because that's what they intended to spell. They're just limited to Japanese sounds, so that's where "gia" is from. It's a close Japanese estimate to the English word, since it's an English word that has been adapted for use in the Japanese language to mean the same thing as its English equivalent. - [[User:HyruleWarrior|HyruleWarrior]] ([[User talk:HyruleWarrior|talk]]) 19:31, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Tall grass

2014-01-08T20:34:55Z

Lego3400: /* Alternative areas */

[[File:Gold explores Route 29.png|thumb|200px|{{ga|Ethan}} and {{p|Cyndaquil}} explore the tall grass on {{rt|29|Johto}}]]
'''Tall grass''' is a mechanic in the [[Pokémon]] [[main series]], and the habitat for many species of [[wild Pokémon]]. By entering patches of tall grass, a wild Pokémon may appear and begin to battle the player.

Tall grass is found on most [[routes]] of the [[Pokémon world]], with some routes containing more tall grass patches than others. If the player enters a patch of tall grass, they may randomly enter a wild Pokémon battle. People are warned to stay out of tall grass if they don't have a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, due to the possibility of being attacked by wild Pokémon.

In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], using {{m|Cut}} causes a map tile composed of four walkable tiles of tall grass to be cut down directly in front of the player. In [[Generation III]], this instead erases a 3×3 area around the player. In [[Generation II]], [[long grass]], such as that in the National Park, would be cut down gradually, while in [[Generation III]], it is instantaneous. From [[Generation IV]] onwards, Cut has no effect on tall grass.

==Technical mechanics==
===Determining the rate of encounter===
The rate of Pokémon encounter is determined from a simple mathematical formula:

<big>''1 in (187.5 / ( x )) per step''</big>

Let ''x'' equal the a value which determines how rare the Pokémon is. The higher the encounter rate, the more common the Pokémon is.

===Poké Radar===
{{main|Poké Radar}}
[[File:PokéRadarShinyFormula.png|thumb|right|The formula for the probability of finding a Shiny Pokémon. Nc is the number of Pokémon in the chain, up to 40.]]
The Poké Radar is a device introduced in [[Generation IV]] that is used to seek out [[wild Pokémon]] hiding in long grass. If the Pokémon that is found is [[fainting|knocked out]] or {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} in a [[Poké Ball]], a ''chain'' will begin. These chains consist of multiple members of the same [[Pokémon]] species encountered one after another. The only catch is this: a player must not encounter any Pokémon just by walking through non-wiggling grass, only by walking into the grass that shakes. Therefore, it is recommended that [[Repel]] is used in order to ensure this and achieve a higher chain. Entering the same type of grassy patch the chain was started in that is the farthest away increases the chances of meeting the same kind of Pokémon consecutively. Long chains increase the chance of finding a {{Shiny}} Pokémon, which is indicated by the patch of grass glowing white twice rather than shaking. In [[Generation IV]], long grass does not shake when the Poké Radar is used.

===Long grass===
[[File:Long grass.png|thumb|200px|Long grass on Route 119]]
Some areas in the [[Pokémon world]] have larger patches of grass than usual. These patches of grass have grown longer and more widespread than the usual grass patches, hiding many different species of Pokémon. Up until [[Generation VI]], it was impossible to ride a [[bicycle]] through this type of grass (and impossible to run through it in [[Generation III]]). Some Trainers hide in the long grass patches, concealing themselves from view and surprising the player to a battle. Long grass was introduced in [[Generation II]], where it was found in [[Johto]]'s [[National Park]]. In [[Generation III]], it is found on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} and {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, in [[Generation IV]] on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, in [[Generation V]], on {{rt|7|Unova}}, and in [[Generation VI]], on {{rt|6|Kalos}} and {{rt|16|Kalos}}.

In Generation V, long grass can be normal or dark, and behaves just like standard grass: normal grass can [[Phenomenon#Rustling grass|rustle]], while in dark grass, double wild encounters may occur.

===Seaweed===
[[File:Dive III OW.png|thumb|200px|Patch of seaweed]]
Seaweed, found only in [[Generation III]], is located [[underwater]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as an underwater equivalent to tall grass on land. Seaweed can be found while using {{m|Dive}} on dark patches of water on {{rt|124|Hoenn}} and {{rt|126|Hoenn}}. The chance of encountering Pokémon in seaweed is lower than that of tall grass.

===Dark grass===
This type of grass is exclusive to [[Generation V]]. In dark grass, not only are Pokémon found usually at much higher levels than those in regular grass, but there is a chance of encountering two wild Pokémon at a time, in a [[Double Battle]]. Pokémon encountered in dark grass are often similar to those found in normal grass areas of the route, but not identical (in particular, Pokémon encountered in dark grass may be slightly [[catch rate|more difficult to catch]]). Often, Pokémon which are rare in normal grass are more common in dark grass.

Patches of dark grass are typically separated from patches of normal grass. Dark grass does not rustle. There is also long dark grass, which behaves like both types of grass simultaneously.

===Rustling grass===
{{main|Phenomenon#Rustling grass|Phenomenon}}
Rustling grass is found in [[Generation V]], in virtually any area with patches of tall grass. Occasionally, a patch of grass can be seen shaking. Entering such a patch triggers a battle with a wild Pokémon. The Pokémon found in rustling grass differ from route to route, but all areas (except Route 19) contain {{p|Audino}}. In most areas, it is possible to encounter in rustling grass the evolved forms of Pokémon found in regular grass. Regular tall grass has a chance to start rustling for every step the player takes. Rustling grass will stop shaking if the player enters a battle, or if they leave the area (even if that specific grass patch remains on the screen). Dark grass does not rustle.

|}
|}

===Flowers===
Generation VI introduces flowers as an alternate grass tile. It comes in various colors and each color has different pokémon hiding withing or adjusts the encounter rate of the pokemon compared to other colors or normal grass on the same route.

==In battle==
In Generation III, using {{m|Secret Power}} in tall grass gives the move a 30% chance of {{status|poison}}ing its target, and depicts it with the appearance of {{m|Needle Arm}}; it causes {{m|Nature Power}} to become {{m|Stun Spore}}. Long grass gives {{m|Secret Power}} a 30% chance of putting its target to {{status|sleep}}, and gives it the appearance of {{m|Magical Leaf}}; it causes {{m|Nature Power}} to become {{m|Stun Spore}}. Seaweed gives {{m|Secret Power}} a 30% chance of lowering its target's {{stat|Defense}}, and gives it the appearance of {{m|Waterfall}}; it causes {{m|Nature Power}} to become {{m|Hydro Pump}}.

In Generation IV and V, tall grass gives {{m|Secret Power}} a 30% chance of putting its target to {{status|sleep}}, and gives it the appearance of {{m|Needle Arm}}; it causes {{m|Nature Power}} to become {{m|Seed Bomb}}.

{{m|Camouflage}} makes the user {{type|Grass}} when used in grass, and {{type|Water}} when used in seaweed.

Then I suppose you have earned yourself the right to a battle, as a reward for your efforts. I am Valerie, who leads this Fairy-type Gym. I hope your visit will prove entertaining to you. The elusive Fairy types may appear frail as a breeze and delicate as a bloom, but they are strong."''

*Being defeated
:''"I hope the sun is shining tomorrow... That would be reason enough to smile."''

*After being defeated
:''"Yes... that was a fine battle. I shall reward you for this great victory. This is the {{badge|Fairy}}. It is yours now. Its beauty is captivating, is it not? ... ... ... ... ... ... Ah... Do forgive me. I was so captivated, I forgot for a moment that it is yours."''
:''"This captivating Fairy Badge will endear any Pokémon up to Lv. 80 to you... Yes, even those Pokémon that you may receive from others will obey you. I also wish to award you this TM... Please consider it a personal gift from me, not simply the winnings of a battle."''

:''"My designs are said to be rather mystifying. Do you agree with that? I've always wanted to be a Pokémon, you see. That desire is my inspiration and what I try to achieve by designing. And yet...the only time I feel I am truly one with Pokémon is when we are embroiled in desperate battle. I wonder why that is... Hmm... Could it be-- Never mind. It is nothing, kind Trainer."''
:(post-game) ''"What do you think it is exactly that separates humans from Pokémon? Is there even need for such a thing? Why should they be separate from one another?"''

'''[[Battle Chateau]]'''
*Before battle
:''"Oh, if it isn't my young Trainer... It is lovely to get to meet you again like this. Then I suppose you have earned yourself the right to a battle, as a reward for your efforts. The elusive {{t|Fairy}} may appear frail as the breeze and delicate as a bloom, but it is strong."''

She's glorious! What a beauty! With a fairylike existence! She can wear such high heels because she used to be a model. If I were wearing heels that high, I wouldn't be able to get out of my house. Ah... She went inside the Gym... That's all for the on-site report. Good-bye for now, everyone."''

* Valerie's Japanese Leader title is {{tt|歷史の国から　來た　乙女|The maiden from a country of history}}.
* According to a {{tc|Tourist}} in Kalos's hotels, Valerie is from the [[Johto]] region.
* Valerie's character model, on the field is triple the with of Calem or Serena's, taking up a total of 3 tile. This is due to her outfit's sleeves.

Legendary Pokémon

{{Featured}}
[[File:Entei Book.png|thumb|right|370px|An artist's interpretation of {{p|Entei}}, a legendary Pokémon, in the anime]]

'''Legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''伝説のポケモン''' ''Legendary Pokémon'') are a group of incredibly rare and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, generally featured prominently in the legends and myths of the Pokémon world.

While most Pokémon in this group are referred to as simply "legendary", there exist two other groups that can be considered subsets of legendary Pokémon. The first, '''mythical Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''幻のポケモン''' ''illusory Pokémon''), refer to Pokémon seen so rarely that some question their very existence; most [[event Pokémon]] fall into this category. The second, (Japanese: '''神話のポケモン''' ''mythical Pokémon''), lacks an official English name and refers to the specific Pokémon which are spoken of as the creators of the Sinnoh region.

==Characteristics of legendary Pokémon==
==={{tt|Statistical average|Considering alternate forms as separate Pokémon, counting Arceus once only and without Phione}}===
{{BaseStatNoCat|
HP=93.13 |
Attack=106.21 |
Defense=99.42 |
SpAtk=111.51 |
SpDef=104.25 |
Speed=101.15 }}

Aside from the high [[stats]] shared by most legendary Pokémon, many of them are only available once to the {{player}} in a given save file, and to obtain another legitimately, one must [[trade]] with another game. The [[gender]] of most legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions in {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}), and all but {{p|Manaphy}} are unable to breed in captivity, even with {{p|Ditto}} (and Manaphy only produces the unevolvable {{p|Phione}} when it breeds with Ditto).

No legendary Pokémon is known to [[Evolution|evolve]], though many are part of a [[legendary trio]] or [[legendary duo]]. Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], legendary Pokémon typically appear at the very end of them. There is one exception: {{p|Victini}}. Victini's [[Unova Pokédex]] number is #000, coming before the region's starter Pokémon in the Pokédex.

===In the anime===
Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are held in very high regard in all forms of canon, though their status varies between the games and anime. For example, their {{wp|deity|godlike}} status is expressed in both the anime and the games, though in the anime they are shown to be able to breed, whereas in the games they cannot, and in the anime most of them supposedly cannot be caught in Poké Balls, while in the games, they can. In the anime they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually the anime's main protagonist, [[Ash Ketchum]], and other people who have a special connection to them. [[Villainous teams]] and others with bad intentions often seek them out, due both to their rarity and their superior power.

It has been shown that the capture of certain legendary Pokémon may lead to great catastrophe, due to their often pivotal role in nature. Despite this, however, Trainers using legendary Pokémon via [[Poké Ball]]s or even as a non-owned Pokémon is not unheard of. An example of the latter use is the fact that {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. Likewise, {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} in the anime owned the three {{TP|Brandon|Regis}} in Poké Balls and trained them and there were no chaotic events that followed. {{si|Tobias}} is another Trainer who has been shown to have legendary Pokémon in Poké Balls, seeing to own a {{p|Darkrai}} and a {{p|Latios}}. Another Trainer in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] owned a {{p|Heatran}}. Finally, a [[Nurse Joy]] who visited the Pewter Gym under assignment of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] kept a {{p|Latias}} in a Poké Ball.

There are some cases in which legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, though this is not the case in the games. Some are neither immortal nor invincible, as seen by the death of {{OBP|Celebi|M04}}. The near death of {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} is also a debatable factor in the immortality of legends. Only some, in fact, are often considered unique, some of these being {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, and {{p|Zekrom}}, due to their roles in the creation of the Pokémon world and their respective regions.

Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 50 (51 counting {{p|Phione}}) are considered to be legendary ({{#expr: (49/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%; {{#expr: (50/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% counting Phione), while several more have certain characteristics of legendary Pokémon. Each [[generation]] has introduced at least one legendary trio and one legendary duo, with the notable exception of [[Generation V]] which introduced the first legendary quartet and no legendary duo.

===Generation I===
The legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] can be broken into two groups: the [[legendary birds]] and the Mew duo.

====Legendary birds====
{{main|Legendary birds}}
[[File:Legendary birds.png|thumb|right|270px|{{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Moltres}}; art from a [[Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos (Warner Bros. promo)|TCG card]] by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]]]]
The three legendary birds, also known as the Winged Mirages, are the resident [[legendary trio]] of the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based on a mythical bird, and each is associated with a [[Seasons|season]] (though none of the three is associated with autumn).

In the games, all three are available in the Kanto region in all of its appearances except for [[Generation II]]. {{p|Articuno}} takes up residence in the [[Seafoam Islands]] in the south, {{p|Zapdos}} in the [[Power Plant]] (next to it in Generation IV) in the east, and {{p|Moltres}} in a variety of places, {{ka|Victory Road}}, [[Mt. Ember]], or [[Mt. Silver]], depending on the generation. In Generation IV, they are also found {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Sinnoh]], but only in {{game|Platinum}}.

In the anime, the legendary birds appear together in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', in which they rule over the islands surrounding [[Shamouti Island]]. If they are disturbed and begin to fight, only {{OBP|Lugia|M02}} can stop them, though it will fail without additional help from the Chosen One. Separately, Articuno appears in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'', and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', while Zapdos appears in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'' and ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]''.

====Mew duo====
[[File:Mewtwo and Mew.png|thumb|250px|left|{{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} in [[M01|the first movie]]]]
The Mew duo, so named because of their similar genetic structure and Mewtwo's origin as an enhanced clone of Mew, are a pair of catlike Pokémon which are believed by many to be among the most rare and powerful Pokémon that exist.

In the games, {{p|Mew}} is only mentioned in years-old journals found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} on [[Cinnabar Island]]. It was the first {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Pokémon. In {{game|Emerald}}, a wild Mew can be found on [[Faraway Island]], an event-exclusive area. This is the only time a Mew has been legitimately able to be caught in the wild.

Mew appears in the anime in both [[M01|the first movie]] and [[M08|the eighth movie]]. In the first, it appears to fight against Mewtwo, while in the second, its status as the Pokémon from which life began is explored.

In the games, {{p|Mewtwo}} is revealed to have been genetically modified from Mew in its Pokédex entries. Mewtwo was too powerful, however, and it escapes from the [[Pokémon Mansion]], destroying it in the process. Mewtwo then makes its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.

In the anime, {{an|Mewtwo}} was featured prominently, appearing in several episodes of the [[original series]], [[M01|the first movie]], and [[Mewtwo Returns|the first special episode]]. Mewtwo's origin is slightly different as well, with [[Team Rocket]] boss {{an|Giovanni}} funding a group of scientists to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Though Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, eventually, when [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and he learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, although it is a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, it and the other clones are no different than normal Pokémon, and because it erased Ash and his friends' memory at the end of their first meeting, realizes that Ash himself truly does care for others, even if he doesn't know them.

Mewtwo is known in the anime to travel around the world, traversing rooftops at night, and living its life free. It occasionally appears in anime openings, sometimes with Mew, and sometimes alone.

Mewtwo received two [[Mega Evolution]]s in [[Generation VI]]. Mega Mewtwo Y was featured in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

===Generation II===
More legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding six more for a running total of 11. The legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into three groups.

====Legendary beasts====
{{main|Legendary beasts}}
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|250px|[[Eusine]] and {{ga|Lyra}} discover {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} in the basement of the [[Burned Tower]]]]
Like the legendary birds of the previous generation, a second trio of similar types was introduced in the neighboring [[Johto]] region. These legendary beasts, so named because their features are based on many different creatures, both real and mythical, as well as mythological deities, were trapped in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death. The trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power. It is unknown whether the three were already a Suicune, Raikou, and Entei when they died, or whether they were simply three non-legendary Pokémon, and Ho-Oh reincarnated them as the first legendary beasts. In the case of the latter, it is possible that these three would be the original three beasts, who created multiple descendants. For example, a new Entei is said to be born whenever a new volcano is formed.

In the games, more than one of each exists, with only the trio that roams Johto after being discovered in Brass Tower's basement during [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] being that of the legend. Each was captured and changed into a [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] in {{g|Colosseum}}, while one of the three, depending on the player's [[starter Pokémon]] choice, roams Kanto in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{p|Entei}} for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Raikou}} for {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Suicune}} for {{p|Charmander}}.

In the anime, the legendary beasts did not appear together until [[M13|the thirteenth movie]], despite being introduced in Generation II. It appears that an initial plan for the three Johto-era {{pkmn|movie}}s was to have each feature one of the legendary beasts in a central role, with {{OBP|Entei|M03}} taking a central role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' and {{OBP|Suicune|M04}} taking the stage in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. This did not pan out, however, possibly due to the canning of Johto's {{p|Celebi}} plotline, and Raikou was relegated to a role in ''[[The Legend of Thunder]]'', featuring anime characters based on {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}, rather than [[M05|the fifth movie]], which focused on legendary Pokémon from the then-upcoming [[Generation III]] instead.

Each of the beasts made an episodic appearance, as well, with Entei appearing in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', Raikou briefly appearing in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', and Suicune having the most prominence (as in the games) through its appearance in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'', ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'', and ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!]]''.

====Tower duo====
[[File:Lugia and ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|left|{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}]]
The first [[version mascot]]s that were also legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are a pair of legendary birds which formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]] atop tall towers, leading to their designation. However, when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]], the home of Lugia, was struck by lightning, burned to the ground, and they both flew away, Lugia resolved to make its new home in the [[Whirl Islands]] and Ho-Oh to search the world for a pure-hearted Trainer. The two are thought to be as closely related as they are polar opposites, being based on the eastern legends of the {{wp|Fènghuáng}} and {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

In the games, Lugia does not play a central role in the Generation II storyline, instead being mentioned only as having lived in Ecruteak City before the Brass Tower burned. It is found in the Whirl Islands in the Generation II games and their {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|remakes}} if the player holds a {{key|IV|Silver Wing}}. It reaches prominence in the storyline of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, in which [[Shadow Lugia|one]] is corrupted by [[Cipher]] to become the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], unable to be purified. It is also available on [[Navel Rock]] in Generation III, as an event-exclusive legendary Pokémon.

In the anime, Lugia is featured in a central role in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', in which it is revealed that {{Ash}} is the Chosen One who must help it to quell the fighting of the [[legendary birds]]. Another pair of them appeared when Ash and his friends traveled to the Whirl Islands in Johto. Likewise, in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', {{OBP|Latios|M05}} was stated have a father. This implies that at least some legendary Pokémon can breed in the anime, unlike in the games.

Ho-Oh has a much greater focus during Generation II, being named as the creator of the legendary beasts. It can be found, if the player has a {{key|IV|Rainbow Wing}}, atop the [[Bell Tower]] in the Generation II games and their remakes. It makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}}, as well, as a reward for purifying all Shadow Pokémon, and on [[Navel Rock]] like Lugia.

In the anime, {{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first legendary Pokémon that appeared (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow at the start of [[Ash Ketchum]]'s journey at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it.

====Celebi====
[[File:Celebi Shrine.png|thumb|right|100px|{{p|Celebi}} on its [[Ilex Forest shrine|shrine]] in [[Ilex Forest]]]]
Although it has no relation to Mew that has been revealed, {{p|Celebi}} was dubbed the "New Mew" when it was introduced in Generation II because of their similar size and stats, as well as the status of being the last in the [[National Pokédex]] as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. Unlike Mew, however, it was not believed to be the ancestor of all Pokémon, but merely the guardian of forests, traveling through time to make sure of their purity.

In the games, Celebi is available only by event, either directly (via [[Trade|trading]] or [[Mystery Gift]]), or, in {{game|Crystal}}, through an event involving the [[GS Ball]]. This made it the first event Pokémon that was able to be captured from the wild in the games after using an event-only item, something which would continue forward even to the current generation. Celebi also makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, but it is unobtainable.

In the anime, Celebi takes a central role in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''. In the movie, [[Celebi (M04)|one]] accidentally brings [[Sam]] to the future when attempting to escape from a poacher, and is later captured in a [[Iron-Masked Marauder|Team Rocket member]]'s [[Dark Ball]]s to be used to destroy the forest and rule the world. In the episode, another is attempting to heal after putting out a forest fire, and needs the help of Pokémon Ranger [[Solana]], as well as the anime's protagonists, to do so. A {{OBP|Celebi|M13}} also played an important role in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', in which [[Grings Kodai]] wanted to use the "ripple of time" created by Celebi's time travels to allow himself to get visions of the future.

===Generation III===
Many more legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the ten new legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 21. At this point in the series, legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the games, with the plot of the [[villainous teams]] introduced in this generation and the next involving the reawakening of ancient legendary Pokémon for the team's own use.

====Legendary golems====
{{main|Legendary golems}}
[[File:Regis.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]
This third trio of legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, is featured minimally in Hoenn legend. Truly, this legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, feature the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.

As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the golems, which is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and finally completed in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Long ago, an ancient Pokémon was said to have moved the continents into their present positions by pulling them with ropes. After it was finished, it created in its image three Pokémon: {{p|Regirock}}, from clay, {{p|Regice}}, from ice, and {{p|Registeel}}, from magma. Ancient people, seeing that the Pokémon was so powerful, sealed it away in the [[Snowpoint Temple]], while those it had created were separated from it and taken to the Hoenn region, sealed in three chambers, and left in the hopes that one day, someone would unlock the chambers and be able to tame the three so as to tame Regigigas. They are available in the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Island Cave]], and [[Ancient Tomb]] in Hoenn; as well as the [[Rock Peak Ruins]], [[Iceberg Ruins]], [[Iron Ruins]] in [[Sinnoh]] with an event {{p|Regigigas}}; and the [[Underground Ruins]] in [[Unova]].

In the anime, the [[legendary golems (M08)|three legendary golems]] starred together guarding the [[Tree of Beginning]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', as well as members of {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s team in the Battle Frontier saga.

====Eon duo====
{{main|Eon duo}}
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|220px|right|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]
Another of Hoenn's minor legendary Pokémon, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not feature a distinct legend behind them. Nonetheless, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available normally a player, and the other available through an event.

Latios and Latias take on counterpart availability in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} as well as {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with Latios being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in Ruby and SoulSilver, and Latias doing the same in Sapphire and HeartGold. In Emerald, after the player has defeated the Elite Four, their mother will ask if the Pokémon mentioned on TV was red or blue, and depending on that, one of the two will be roaming Hoenn. The other member of the duo will be found on [[Southern Island]], accessible by [[Eon Ticket]], in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, and in [[Pewter City]], through the [[Enigma Stone]] event, in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', in which the two guarded the legendary city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]], who wished to steal it. In the main series, {{si|Tobias}} used a Latios against Ash, as his second Pokémon in the first semi-final battle of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. A [[Nurse Joy]] had a Latias when visiting the Pewter Gym.

====Weather trio====
{{main|Weather trio}}
[[File:Weather trio.png|250px|thumb|right|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]
The trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known for their [[weather conditions|weather-related]] [[Ability|Abilities]] as the weather trio, serve as the [[version mascot]]s of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, being the first legendary trio to be version mascots, and represent the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to have shaped the land and sea, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.

During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on version, seek out Groudon or Kyogre, with the intention of awakening them to make more homes for Pokémon of the land or sea. Eventually, the plan goes wrong, and the player is forced to defeat or capture the legendary Pokémon to stop a global disaster. In {{game|Emerald}}, instead, both teams are on the loose, intending to awaken their respective legendary Pokémon, and only with interference by the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.

In the anime, Groudon and Kyogre appeared in the two-part episode consisting of ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''. In these episodes, Team Magma and Team Aqua finally succeed in awakening the two, as in the games, though their conflict is resolved very quickly, much to the annoyance of viewers. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', in which it fought against the pair of {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}.

====Jirachi====
[[File:385Jirachi AG anime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Jirachi}} in the anime]]
One of the two event legendary Pokémon of Generation III, {{p|Jirachi}} is known to grant wishes written on the tags on its head each time it awakens: once every millennium.

In the games, Jirachi has never had a concrete location tied to it, and it cannot be captured from the wild legitimately. However, several direct transfers have been present in the history of the franchise, most notably in the form of a [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc|bonus disc]] released as a preview of {{g|Colosseum}} which fixes the [[Berry glitch]] present in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.

Jirachi starred in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', in which it befriended [[Max]] as the group attempted to keep it away from [[Butler]], a former [[Team Magma]] operative.

====Deoxys====
[[File:386Deoxys formes.png|thumb|right|{{p|Deoxys}} in its four Formes: Attack, Normal, Defense, Speed]]
A virus from space which mutated when shot by a laser, {{p|Deoxys}} was the first legendary Pokémon known to [[Form differences|change form]], taking different forms on in each of the [[Generation III]] games - Normal Forme in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Attack Forme in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}, Defense Forme in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}, and Speed Forme in {{game|Emerald}}, and being able to change them at will starting from [[Generation IV]] games with special meteorites found in [[Veilstone City]], {{rt|3|Kanto}} and [[Nacrene City]].

In the games, Deoxys is only available on [[Birth Island]] when the {{DL|Event item|AuroraTicket}} is downloaded to FireRed, LeafGreen, or Emerald, though as with all event legendary Pokémon, it has also been available through direct download via [[Mystery Gift]].

Deoxys featured heavily in the seventh Pokémon movie, ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', in which its Attack and Defense Formes were first revealed. One of the two {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}} featured befriends a boy named [[Tory Lund]], who fears Pokémon otherwise and does not realize what Deoxys is, while the other seeks out the first, concerned for its safety. Another Deoxys featured in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'', in which Deoxys's Speed Forme debuted in the anime.

===Generation IV===
Thirteen more legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation IV]] (fourteen counting Phione), the most of any generation so far, bringing the total to 34 (35 counting Phione). Many of the legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-League sidequests for the player to go on. Six of the 13 introduced (seven of the 14 counting Phione) are not in Sinnoh's regional Pokédex, appearing only in the National Pokédex.

Prior to Generation IV, 680 had been the limit on a legendary Pokémon's [[Base stats|base stat]] total: this limit was set by {{p|Mewtwo}} in [[Generation I]] and was only matched—never surpassed—in Generation II and Generation III. In Generation IV, however, the most powerful of all Pokémon in terms of base stats is no longer Mewtwo or any of its equals, but {{p|Arceus}}, the supposed creator of the Pokémon universe.

====Lake guardians====
{{main|Lake guardians}}
[[File:Mesprit Azelf Uxie anime.png|thumb|205px|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} in the anime]]
The lake guardians, [[Sinnoh]]'s native legendary trio, represent the spirit of all consciousness, with {{p|Uxie}} embodying knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} embodying emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} embodying willpower. According to legend, having been created by {{p|Arceus|the Original One}}, the trio have the power to tame the powerful dragons it also created.

In the games, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf are found in the caverns of [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Verity]], and [[Lake Valor]], though Mesprit will roam Sinnoh after the player has encountered it, rather than battle immediately as the other two will. The trio are captured by [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, [[Jupiter]], [[Mars]], and [[Saturn]], and subjected to the experiments of [[Charon]] to draw out the [[Red Chain]] from the gems in their bodies. [[Cyrus]] summons {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, and alone, the lake guardians' power is not enough to stop them. {{p|Giratina}} interferes and draws Cyrus into the Distortion World, where the lake guardians assist the player in navigation toward Giratina's lair.

In the anime, the lake guardians appeared, first in spirit form, in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]'', and ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', to {{an|Dawn}}, {{Ash}}, and {{an|Brock}}. They were captured by [[J]], who had been hired by [[Team Galactic]], in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', and were freed by Ash, Dawn, and Brock to stop the power of Dialga and Palkia in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''.

====Creation trio====
{{main|Creation trio}}
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.jpg|180px|thumb|right|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The legendary creators of the Pokémon universe, the creation trio consisting of {{p|Dialga}} of time, {{p|Palkia}} of space, and {{p|Giratina}} of antimatter, are, like the weather trio before them, the mascots of [[Sinnoh]]'s trio of games, {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

In the games, Dialga and Palkia are sought by [[Cyrus]] to destroy and then remake the universe without spirit, a feature he hates about humanity. In Diamond and Pearl, Dialga{{sup/4|D}} or Palkia{{sup/4|P}} can be caught at [[Spear Pillar]], while Giratina may be obtained after the Pokémon League has been conquered. In Platinum, however, Giratina interferes with Cyrus's planned destruction of the universe, and may be captured in its home, the [[Distortion World]], while Dialga and Palkia cannot be found until the Elite Four have been defeated.

In the anime, {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} appeared together, fighting, in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', while Dialga and {{mov|Giratina}} appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. The three appeared together, finally, in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Dialga and Palkia were also summoned at the Spear Pillar and chained by Cyrus in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', but were freed when he escaped into another universe and the Red Chain was shattered by Ash, Dawn, Brock, and their Pokémon.

====Lunar duo====
[[File:Cresselia and Darkrai DP4 artwork.png|thumb|175px|left|{{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Darkrai}}]]
Two sidequest legendary Pokémon and event legendary Pokémon, {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Darkrai}} represent two phases of the moon with opposite connotations: Darkrai represents the {{wp|new moon}}, the cause of the darkest nights and bringer of nightmares, while Cresselia represents the {{wp|full moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.

In the games, Cresselia can be found on [[Fullmoon Island]] as part of a post-League quest to rid {{tc|Sailor}} Eldrich's son of a nightmare. She will flee immediately, roaming Sinnoh and leaving behind a [[Lunar Wing]], which will heal the boy. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], Cresselia can be found on [[Marvelous Bridge]] after obtaining the Lunar Wing in the [[Strange House]]. Darkrai is found on [[Newmoon Island]], accessible only with a [[Member Card]], and can only be obtained through an event.

The lunar duo made their debuts separately, with a {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} appearing in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', attempting to stop Dialga and Palkia's fight from destroying its home, [[Alamos Town]], and protecting [[Alice]], its friend. Cresselia first appeared in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which she fought briefly against a Darkrai.

====Sea guardians====
[[File:Manaphyphione.png|thumb|right|{{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}]]
The sea guardian Pokémon are a legendary duo that, somewhat like Mewtwo and Mew, is comprised of a parent and child. {{p|Manaphy}}, a legendary Pokémon that makes its home in colder seas south of the known regions, bears {{p|Phione}} when bred in captivity in the known regions.

In the games, Manaphy can only be found through an event: either it may be transferred in its Egg from one of the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger}} games after activating an event in those games, or can be directly received via various Mystery Gift events. Like Jirachi, it cannot be legitimately found in the wild. Phione, of course, must be bred from a Manaphy and a {{p|Ditto}}.

In the anime, Manaphy debuted in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', in which, like in the games, it first appeared as an Egg, and befriended {{an|May}}, who it regarded as its mother. It was the only Pokémon able to find the mysterious Temple of the Sea, [[Samiya]], and was regarded as the Prince of the Sea. For this, it was sought by [[the Phantom]], a pirate who wished to take the jewels of the Sea Crown deep in Samiya. Phione debuted under different circumstances, being found in [[Chocovine Town]] in ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]'', in which they were revered as bringers of good luck.

Phione's status as a legendary Pokémon is often disputed, due to the fact that it can breed and multiple individuals can be obtained. [[Pokémon.com]]'s mailbag was once asked if Phione was legendary, to which the answer was initially no, but was quickly changed to yes; the whole mailbag section has since been taken down with the restructure of Pokémon.com. In the official game guide to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, which is made by [[The Pokémon Company International]], it is stated that Phione is not legendary. In [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], it is not referred to by the game as "rare" or "legendary", which is the case for all other legendary Pokémon in the game. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, it is banned from the [[Battle Subway]], a rule which typically applies only to legendary Pokémon. Further complicating matters, it was included in the 2012 [[Pokémon Power Bracket]] competition, a playoff of sorts for legendary Pokémon.

====Heatran====
[[File:Heatran anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Heatran}} in the anime]]
{{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of the planet's boiling {{wp|core}}, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]] and [[Reversal Mountain]] in [[Unova]], where it was said to have been born at the same time as Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina created Sinnoh at the [[Spear Pillar]] and created the [[Battle Zone]]. Heatran is the only legendary Pokémon with a variable gender.

Heatran first appeared in the anime in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', under the control of [[Marcus]], and later appeared in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]'' as part of a Pokémon Ranger rescue mission.

====Regigigas====
[[File:Regigigas anime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]
{{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[legendary golems]], having created them in ancient times and was said to have moved the continents in place, pulling them by rope.

In the games, Regigigas is found at the [[Snowpoint Temple]] and [[Twist Mountain]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, though it will not awaken unless all three of the legendary golems are in the player's party.

Regigigas appeared in the anime in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', in which it attempted to stop a glacier from destroying [[Ten'i Village]]. Another appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', in which it was hunted by [[J]] and defended by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.

====Shaymin====
[[File:Seabreak path.png|thumb|right|{{p|Shaymin}} running down [[Seabreak Path]]]]
{{p|Shaymin}} is a legendary Pokémon that has the ability to purify areas instantly and bring plant life in abundance. Unlike previous event legendary Pokémon with its straight-100 base stats, however, Shaymin has the ability to change forms, between Land Forme and Sky Forme.

In the games, like Darkrai, Shaymin is catchable in the wild after an event item has been obtained: this time [[Oak's Letter]], which requests the player's help on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}. After giving thanks to someone or something, Shaymin will appear, and will be available to be caught at the end of the [[Seabreak Path]] that appears, in the [[Flower Paradise]].

Shaymin has a central role in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', when it, as well as its Sky Forme, were officially revealed. It also has a minor role in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]'' involving [[Marley]].

====Arceus====
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|{{p|Arceus}} creates a Pokémon Egg for {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}}]]
The final Pokémon of Generation IV and the most powerful in terms of base stat totals, {{p|Arceus}} is, according to legend, the creator of the Pokémon universe. Born of an Egg in the chaos at the beginning, Arceus's powers were awakened immediately, and from itself it made time and space, matter and antimatter, and set {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} to guard them. It created spirit as well, setting {{p|Uxie}} in charge of knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} in charge of emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} in charge of willpower, before falling into an eternal slumber.

Arceus can be awoken from its sleep using an [[Azure Flute]] at the [[Spear Pillar]], which will open a staircase to its home, the [[Hall of Origin]]. There it can be captured, though no legitimate way of obtaining the Azure Flute has yet been released.

In the anime, {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} starred in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', in which it set out to destroy [[Michina Town]] and its people for their betrayal in ancient times. After changing history with the help of Dialga, Ash and his friends revealed to Arceus the true nature of human beings, and it left Michina Town in peace.

===Generation V===
Thirteen additional legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation V]] totaling 48 legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of Black and White, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the endgame. The rest of the Pokémon mattered little to the narrative progression.

====Victini====
[[File:Victini-Liberty Garden Island.png|thumb|160px|{{ga|Hilda}}, {{p|Victini}}, and {{ga|Hilbert}}]]
{{p|Victini}} is found at the beginning of [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova's Pokédex]], being #000. Much like {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, each of its base stats are 100. It is the first [[Generation V]] [[event Pokémon]] revealed and allowed to be obtained. Victini is considered the embodiment of victory. It is said that a Trainer with a Victini will win anything no matter what.

In Pokémon Black and White, if the player possesses the [[Liberty Ticket]], the player can take a boat to [[Liberty Garden]], where Team Plasma is attempting to obtain Victini for the energy it radiates. It is later revealed that Victini was sealed in the basement of the lighthouse by a wealthy person in order to protect it from people with bad intentions.

Victini is a star of [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']].

====Swords of Justice====
{{main|Swords of Justice}}
[[File:Swords of Justice.png|thumb|left|200px|The Swords of Justice]]
{{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Pokémon based on the titular characters of the 1844 French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'', and partially on hooved mammals such as deer, antelopes, oxen, goats, and horses. According to legend, they protect Pokémon from having their habitats destroyed by humans and have been known to have attacked human castles during the Middle Ages. Like the Three Musketeers, they are considered a trio but have a fourth, younger member in the form of {{p|Keldeo}} who the other three rescued and raised after its home was destroyed by fire. All four of them can use their horns like swords, and learn their [[signature move]], {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}, most likely to refer to it becoming part of the group later).

====Forces of Nature====
[[File:Kami trio Myth.png|thumb|Right|200px|The [[Forces of Nature]] in the anime]]
{{main|Forces of Nature}}
{{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} are a trio of Pokémon based on Japanese deities: {{wp|Fūjin}}, god of wind, {{wp|Raijin}}, god of thunder and lightning, and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, a fertility god. Together the three represent the heavens and the nourishing effect the sky has upon the earth. According to a folktale retold by children at the [[Abundant Shrine]], Landorus punished Tornadus and Thundurus for destroying the land with gales and thunderstorms.

====Tao trio====
{{main|Tao trio}}
[[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} confronting {{p|Kyurem}}]]
{{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} represent balance through the aspects of {{wp|Tao|Yin and Yang}}, respectively. Originally, they were a single dragon that helped found the Unova region's nation, but fighting between the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|two brothers]] who founded the nation split them into two halves. Despite this, the two Pokémon do not willingly fight each other.

Reshiram and Zekrom are the stars of [[M14|''Pokémon The Movie: White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Pokémon The Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram'']] along with Victini. Zekrom debuted in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' causing [[Ash's Pikachu]] electric crisis and appeared in numerous flashbacks and fantasies afterwards. Reshiram also debuted in a cameo at the beggining of ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and was [[Team Plasma]]'s target in the "Episode N" arc, appearing in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''.

{{p|Kyurem}} is related to Zekrom and Reshiram and represents {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}}, which is the absence of Yin and Yang. Using the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}}, Kyurem can be fused with Reshiram or Zekrom into White Kyurem or Black Kyurem, respectively; with the same item, the fusion can be undone.

Kyurem is the star of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'' along with Keldeo.

====Meloetta====
[[File:Meloetta formes.png|thumb|right|180px|{{p|Meloetta}}'s two formes]]
{{p|Meloetta}} represents music (Aria Forme) and dance (Pirouette Forme). Legend says that it once sang and danced joyfully. However, when sorrow darkened the world, it lost the melody and its red shoes. Using {{m|Relic Song}} changes its form.

Meloetta made its anime debut in [[PK23]]. It made its TV debut in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'' (in Aria Forme) and ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'' (in Pirouette Forme).

====Genesect====
[[File:Genesect anime.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Genesect}} in the anime]]
{{p|Genesect}} is an ancient insect Pokémon who was feared as the strongest of hunters more than 300 million years ago. Team Plasma revived it from a [[Fossil]] and altered it with cybernetic upgrades in an attempt to create the strongest Pokémon in existence. It uses special [[Drive]]s to make variations to its signature move, {{m|Techno Blast}}.

===Generation VI===
====Confirmed Legendaries====
[[File:Xerneas artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Xerneas}}|left]]
[[File:Yveltal artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Yveltal}}]]
So far, [[Generation VI]] has unveiled three legendary Pokémons in [[Pokémon X and Y]]: {{p|Xerneas}}, {{p|Yveltal}} and {{p|Zygarde}}. Xerneas, the Life Pokémon, is a tall, navy-blue deer-like Pokémon with white antlers with rainbow-colored lights, and is a {{t|Fairy}} type. Yveltal, the Destruction Pokémon, is a black and red bird-like Pokémon with black horns, and is a {{2t|Dark|Flying}} type. Zygarde, the Order Pokémon, is a tall black and green, snake-like pokemon with green and white hexagonial scales, and is a {{2t|Ground|Dragon}} type. Both Xerneas and Yveltal were both version mascots for Pokémon X and Y. More information regarding these Pokémon is currently unknown.

==Trivia==
* Though {{p|Unown}} is not considered to be a legendary Pokémon, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'', it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about legendary Pokémon, its power appears to match that of legendary Pokémon, and it is explicitly referred to as a legendary Pokémon.
* Generation I is the only generation in which all of its legendary Pokémon have appeared in a movie. Mewtwo appeared in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and will appear in [[M16|ExtremeSpeed Genesect: Mewtwo Awakens]]. Mew appeared in both ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' and in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', while the birds appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
** Ho-Oh is the only Generation II legendary Pokémon which hasn't appeared in a movie, only appearing in anime appearances, opening sequences, and in a cameo in ''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew'', only to be Mew in disguise.
** Groudon is the only Generation III legendary which hasn't appeared in a movie, only appearing in the opening sequences of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. There was a fake Groudon in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. However, the real Groudon has appeared with its counterpart, Kyogre, in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.
** Generation IV is the generation with the greatest amount of legendary Pokémon that have not appeared in a movie: the [[lake guardians]], [[Phione]], and {{p|Cresselia}}. This group is notable for not even appearing via cameos in the movies, except for Cresselia, who appeared in the opening of ''[[M10|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. Whether or not Phione is considered a legendary Pokémon, it still hasn't appeared in a movie. All five have their own debut episodes in the anime, however.
**The [[Forces of Nature]] and {{p|Meloetta}} are the only Generation V legendary Pokémon to not appear in a movie. The Forces of Nature appear in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', and ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]''. Meloetta appears from ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'' to ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'' and in the [[Pikachu short]]s [[PK23]] and ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]''.
* In most games, there appears to only be one of each legendary Pokémon; however, in the {{pkmn|anime}}, there is more than one of most legendary Pokémon. This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the {{player}} to only ever happen to meet one of them canonically, and in fact there are others elsewhere which the player does not encounter.
** This may be supported by the possibility of acquiring Eggs of {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and {{p|Manaphy}} in the [[Generation IV]] games.
* Each generation has introduced at least one {{type|Flying}} legendary Pokémon, though the only Flying-type legendary Pokémon in Generation IV, {{p|Shaymin}}, is only Flying-type in its Sky Forme, which was not introduced until Pokémon Platinum.
* According to interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] in 2009, legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages and don't conflict with anything else. This is consistent with the relatively small number of legendary Pokémon who have had their names changed significantly outside of Japan (currently nine: the [[legendary birds]], the [[lake guardians]], and the [[Forces of Nature]]).
* Other than {{p|Arceus}} holding a {{DL|Plate|Toxic Plate}}, there are no {{type|Poison}} legendary Pokémon, making it the only type not to include any legendary Pokémon.
* Only {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and fused {{p|Kyurem}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other. {{p|Mew}} has its own battle theme; however, it is a remixed version of the normal [[Kanto]] wild battle theme.
** Each member of the [[legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:
*** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.
*** Reshiram's theme employs a burning fire effect, Zekrom's theme employs a crackling thunder effect, and normal Kyurem's theme features an extra slapped bass part playing in the background.
* The legendary birds of Kanto are the most available wild legendary Pokémon, able to be caught in eleven main series games each ([[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], {{v2|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and [[Pokemon X and Y]]). The least available wild legendary Pokémon are {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}, which only appear in the wild in one game apiece; each encounter requires an [[event item]] to activate it. {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Darkrai}} may also count, as the event items for the two, though existent in the games' coding, were not released to players of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, with the Mystery Gift events only available for players of {{v2|Platinum}}.
* Genderless legendary Pokémon who appear in the anime are usually given a voice that is either identifiably male or female, if able to [[Talking Pokémon|converse with humans]]. One exception is {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} in the original Japanese, who was voiced by Akihiro Miwa (a female impersonator) in order to give it an androgynous-sounding voice.
* While the first mythical Pokémon, Mew, was added to the original games right before release, the concept of "{{tt|illusory|Same term translated as 'mythical' by TPCi}} monsters" already existed in [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s pitch for [[Capsule Monsters]]. Some of them were said not to be catchable, and some not even encounterable. As an example, there would be a "Green Dragon" that could only be found rarely in a specific area of a dungeon, and it would have taken around 2 hours to find and catch.<ref name="ref1">[http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/2/ GlitterBerri's Game Translations » Early Concept Art]</ref>

'''Zapdos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サンダー''' ''Thunder'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Along with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Moltres}}, it is one of the three [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
Zapdos is an avian Pokémon with predominantly yellow plumage. Black rings encircle its eyes, and it has a long, thin, light orange beak. Its wings and tail are a mass of spiky feathers, with black feathers covering the back of its wings and inner tail feathers. A large crest of spiked feathers surrounds its head. Its thighs are a khaki color, and it has {{wp|Bird anatomy|anisodactyl}} feet ending in talons.

When Zapdos flaps its glittering wings, it releases electricity that can potentially cause thunderstorms. It causes cause massive crackling and snapping sounds when it flies; these are attributed to the lightning bolts sheds when airborne. When stricken by lightning, it gains power. Zapdos reportedly appears only during thunderstorms, and is said to live among thunderclouds. However, it is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely seen.}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Zapdos M02.png|thumb|251px|Zapdos in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Legendary birds (M02)#Zapdos|Zapdos (M02)]]====
Zapdos made its first true appearance in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''. [[Lawrence III]] wanted to capture the three [[legendary birds]] as well as their master {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|02}}.

====Other====
The Electric Pokémon made its anime debut appearance in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]''. When {{TRT}} made an attempt to steal a crystal that gave a lake the ability to heal {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, they were side-tracked when Zapdos showed up and they changed their objective to capture Zapdos instead.

===Minor appearances===
The first time Zapdos was seen was in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''. However, it wasn't a real Zapdos, just a machine.

A Zapdos appeared in ''[[EP229|An EGG-sighting Adventure!]]'' as part of {{TRT}}'s fantasy.

A Zapdos made an appearance in the credits of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. [[Jackie]] had captured it with a [[Capture Styler]] and flew away on it.

A Zapdos made a cameo appearance in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]''. This may have been taken from {{game|Platinum}}, where in this version, there is a Zapdos [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] Sinnoh.

A Zapdos made a cameo in the intro of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

It made a cameo in a flashback in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', and both of [[Narissa]]'s [[Ditto]] transformed into it.

{{Animedexbody|EP242|Zapdos|Ash's Pokédex|Zapdos, the Electric Pokémon. Zapdos has both {{t|electric}} and {{t|flying}} elements and the flappage of its wings can create lightning.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Lt Surge Zapdos Adventures.png|thumb|Zapdos in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Having captured this legendary bird in the abandoned [[Power Plant]] as in the games, [[Lt. Surge]] appears with Zapdos in his team during the events of {{PAV|3}}, using it as a never-ending power source for his Electric types, allowing them to continually shock {{adv|Red}} at full force, a strategy that turns against him when Red uses [[Saur]]'s {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the supply cords and his insulating underwear with them. After having been merged with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Moltres}} into [[Thu-Fi-Zer|an undiscovered Pokémon]], the three Pallet Town Trainers are able to defeat the combined monster, so it leaves his team, and [[Team Rocket]] afterwards to go back to the wild.

{{adv|Green}} later captures Zapdos before the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}} and uses it against [[Will]] and [[Karen]], having caught it and its legendary bird companions on her personal training journey to overcome her fear of birds. During this battle, it is lent to {{adv|Blue}} when things get rough. Once returned, it is put back in its [[Poké Ball]] and isn't seen again, meaning it has either been deposited into her box or released.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Zapdos uses a powerful {{m|Thunder Shock}} that hits opponents several times to produce a substantial amount of damage.

====Trophy information====
''Zapdos flaps its wings, and summer storms appear, throwing lightning every which way. It's said that you can hear this legendary Pokémon coming, as its wings make a very distinctive popping sound as it flies. In addition to electrical moves like the dreaded {{m|Thunder}}, it also wields a vicious move called {{m|Drill Peck}}.''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* Zapdos is the first legendary Pokémon encountered in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. After it kidnaps {{p|Shiftry}}, the player must fight it at the top of [[Mt. Thunder]]. It is possible to recruit Zapdos by returning for another fight after the credits.

==Trivia==
* Of all legendary Pokémon with fixed in-game locations, Zapdos can be obtained with the fewest number of Badges: 3. In the [[Generation I]] games and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|their remakes]], one can catch Zapdos with only the {{Badge|Boulder}}, {{Badge|Cascade}}, and {{Badge|Soul}}, although it is far too strong for most Trainers at that stage, at level 50.
* Zapdos shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Electabuzz}}. They are all known as the Electric Pokémon.
* Zapdos and {{p|Jolteon}}'s Japanese names are almost exactly the same as each others', with a final ''s'' being the only difference.
* Zapdos is the only one of the [[legendary birds]] to not have a double weakness to {{t|Rock}} (or for that matter, ''any'' double weakness).
** In addition, Zapdos possesses a type advantage over all other members of its trio, as well as its trio master, {{p|Lugia}}.

* In {{game|Yellow}} and onwards, Zapdos was given an additional toe pointing forward on each foot, giving it three. However, {{g|Stadium 2}} shares the same 3D model for Zapdos as its Generation I 3D games, {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{g|Snap}}, so in that game, it still only has two.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', [[Chopper]]'s bike was decorated to look like a Zapdos.

===Origin===
Zapdos is based on the {{wp|Native American}} legend of the {{wp|thunderbird (mythology)|thunderbird}}. The thunderbird was known for being the spirit of thunder, lightning, and rain in the form of a giant bird. The beating of the wings was said to create thunder. It may also have been based on the {{wp|Lightning Bird}}, a bird created from wherever lightning hits the earth. It may also have been based on the {{wp|Impundulu}}, a bird of witchcraft said to summon thunder and lightning with its wings and talons.

===Name origin===
Zapdos is a combination of ''zap'' and ''dos'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''two'', indicating that it is the second in the series of [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]).

Thunder is literally ''thunder''.

'''Moltres''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ファイヤー''' ''Fire'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Along with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Zapdos}}, it is one of the three [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
Moltres is a large, avian Pokémon with orange or golden plumage. It has a long, flowing head crest and a billowing tail, both made of flames. Additionally, its wings are also shrouded in fiery plumage. Its straight, pointed beak is brown, as are its {{wp|Bird anatomy|anisodactyl}} feet. It has short talons.

Moltres sheds embers with every flap of its wings, creating a brilliant flash of flames. By dipping itself into the magma of an active volcano, this Pokémon can heal itself. It migrates to the south with the coming of spring, and is said to bring an early springtime to cold lands. Moltres is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely seen}} by Trainers.

==In the anime==
[[File:Moltres M02.png|thumb|240px|Moltres in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Legendary birds (M02)#Moltres|Moltres (M02)]]====
Moltres made its first true appearance in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''. [[Lawrence III]] wanted to capture the three [[legendary birds]] as well as their master {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|02}}.

====Other====
Moltres also appeared in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up]]'' where it defeated {{TRT}}. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP075|Round One - Begin!]]'' and in another flashback in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''.

Moltres appeared in ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]'' where [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] attempted to capture it.

===Minor appearances===
A robotic Moltres was shown chasing [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''.

Additionally it was mentioned in ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'' where [[James]] mistakenly believed that it was his "Inner Pokémon" and dressed up in a Moltres costume.

A Moltres appeared in ''[[EP229|An EGG-sighting Adventure!]]'' as part of {{TRT}}'s fantasy.

A Moltres made a cameo in the intro of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'' and ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Sabrina Moltres Adventures.png|thumb|Moltres in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
Moltres was mentioned in ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]'' where its flames represent the Indigo League.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[Sabrina]] is shown to have obtained Moltres for [[Team Rocket]] during the [[Kanto]] saga, but it is not seen in battle. It is later combined with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Zapdos}} to form a singular legendary bird, but they separate once Sabrina is defeated and go back to the wild.

{{adv|Green}} later catches Moltres on [[Mt. Ember]] during her training journey to overcome her fear of birds. She used it and its fellow legendary birds in the fight against [[Karen]] and [[Will]], who were commanding the [[Masked Man]]'s {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}. She has not used any of them since, meaning they have probably been deposited in the box or released.

When released from a Poké Ball, Moltres will remain where it is released, flapping its wings. It will then use {{m|Sky Attack}} in Melee or {{m|Fly}} in Brawl to leave the arena.

====Trophy Information====
=====Melee=====
''As tradition has it, the onset of spring heralds the return of this legendary Pokémon from its southern home. Its bright orange color and fiery aspect lends to its overwhelming appearance. {{m|Sky Attack}}, the strongest of flying moves, is a perfect fit for this burning phenom, but it obviously also excels at powerful {{type|Fire}} moves.''

=====Brawl=====
''"A Flame Pokémon. It's one of the legendary bird Pokémon. When Moltres appears in a town, it is said that spring will come earlier there than in other towns. If Moltres is injured, it apparently returns to a volcano to heal its wings with magma. Moltres spreads its wide, flame-covered wings and attacks opponents with the exciting and highly damaging {{m|Sky Attack}}."''

==Trivia==
* Moltres shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Flareon}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as the Flame Pokémon.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Moltres is found in [[Johto]], making it the only [[legendary birds|legendary bird]] not to be found near its location in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} in these games.
* Moltres is the only one of the three legendary birds to not appear in the original opening of the English dub.
* Moltres is the only member of [[legendary birds|its trio]] that can't have super effective [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] against a Pokémon of its own type. Both {{p|Zapdos}}'s {{t|Electric}} moves and {{p|Articuno}}'s {{t|Ice}} moves are super effective against the {{t|Flying}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Like {{p|Ho-Oh}}, Moltres is based on the legend of the {{wp|phoenix}}. It is most likely based on either the Arabian phoenix or the {{wp|Firebird (Slavic folklore)|Slavic Firebird}}. Others claim that the bird is based on the Japanese mythical bird known as 朱雀 ''{{wp|Vermilion Bird|Suzaku}}'', guardian of the South, and is not a true phoenix. Regardless, the Pokémon has a very similar appearance to both the phoenix and the Suzaku. It may also be based on a {{wp|heron}} or {{wp|Bennu}}, because of their similarities in shape. It also embodies traits from a number of other {{wp|firebird}}s, such as the {{wp|three-legged bird}}.

===Name origin===
Moltres is a combination of ''molten'' and ''tres'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''three'', indicating that it is the third in the series of [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]). It may also derive from ''{{wp|Molting#Birds|molt}}''.

Fire is literally ''fire''.

'''Azurill''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルリリ''' ''Ruriri'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Fairy}} [[baby Pokémon]], and prior to [[Generation VI]], a pure {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Marill}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]], which evolves into {{p|Azumarill}} starting at [[level]] 18.

==Biology==
Azurill is a blue, round mouse Pokémon. It has circular ears with pink insides. There are two white dots on its cheeks, and it has black eyes. Its thin, black, zigzagging tail has a large blue ball at the end. The ball is bouncy and packed full nutrients it needs to be able to grow and can be used as a flotation device. It can be seen bouncing and playing on this rubbery tail. The tail can also be spun around like a lasso. When the tail is thrown, the body can go as far as {{tt|33 feet|10 meters}}. It uses its tail for fighting opponents bigger than itself. It lives at the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|water's edge.}}

* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Azurill is one of the residents of Treasure Town. He gets captured by {{p|Drowzee}}, and is forced to get treasure for him, but is rescued by the player's team.

==Trivia==
* Azurill is, by statistical average, the weakest {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Polka dots are known in Japan as 水玉 ''mizutama'', literally meaning water balls. This may explain why Azurill is known as the Polka Dot Pokémon.
** This name also reflects the way Azurill is indirectly related with {{t|Water}}.
* Azurill is currently the only Pokémon which does not evolve based on gender whose gender ratio does not match that of its evolved forms, being female 75% of the time while Marill and Azumarill are female only 50% of the time. Due to this, female Azurill have a one in three chance of evolving into a male Marill (whether or not this will happen is determined by the hidden [[personality value]]). It is unknown if this is an error in programming or if it was intentional to reference real-world animals that change gender under specific conditions.
* Azurill, along with {{p|Wailmer}} and {{p|Kecleon}}, was one of the first {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} revealed, in early March of 2001.
** This is similar to how its evolved form {{p|Marill}} was introduced before [[Generation II]].
* Azurill has the lowest base stat total of all baby Pokémon.
* Azurill is the only Pokémon which evolves through [[friendship]] whose evolution evolves by level.
* With Huge Power, Azurill can reach the highest Attack stat of all Baby Pokémon, capping at a maximum of 304.
* Azurill is the only Pokémon that has a base stat total of 190.

Azurill appears to be a {{wp|mouse}} combined with a {{wp|beach ball}} or possibly a {{wp|personal flotation device}} or {{wp|lifebuoy}}.

====Name origin====
Azurill is a combination of ''{{wp|azure}}'' (a shade of blue) or ''azul'' (Spanish and Portuguese for ''blue'') and ''rill'' (a small river or brook).

Ruriri may be a corruption of 瑠璃 ''ruri'' ({{wp|lapis lazuli}}) which is theoretically in {{p|Marill}}'s—its evolution—name, or it may be a variation of {{wp|azurite}} (a blue rock).

Lego3400: /* New Move */ new section

== Confirmed Fairy-types ==
Aside from Sylveon as the first pure Fairy-type, Pokecom.com has confirmed that Gardevoir is now Psychic/Fairy, Marill is Water/Fairy and Jigglypuff in Normal/Fairy.

http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/fairy_type/

Worth adding to this page their respective pages, ''ja''? [[User:NP Chilla|NP Chilla]] ([[User talk:NP Chilla|talk]]) 15:46, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

== Retyping notice ==

Following the style for other people that have been retyped, Magnemite/Magneton and Rotom's alternate forms, shouldn't all Pokémon retyped to Fairy have a little marker next to them indicating that this typing only applies to Gen VI onwards?

e.g. <nowiki>{{tt|*|Generation VI onwards}}</nowiki> which should comes out as: {{tt|*|Generation VI onwards}} 

I would add it myself but I'm not an autoconfirmed user. - [[User:Tasty Salamanders|Tasty Salamanders]] ([[User talk:Tasty Salamanders|talk]]) 23:03, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

== Other type interactions ==

We can't say for sure yet, but Fairy appears to also be either neutral or super-effective against Flying, since it hits for super-effective on Salamence. Just thought I'd put this here for later reference. [[User:Skarthe|Skarthe]] ([[User talk:Skarthe|talk]]) 23:40, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

::*So far we just know [[Dragon (type)|dragons]] are weak to [[Fairy (type)|fairies]], that's probably why it was super effective against Salamence '''''and''''' Hydreigon.

== Number ==

:They changed something from the past. With or without an excuse, it's still a retcon. Even if they say something like, "These were discovered to be Fairy-types all along" or "These Pokemon recently gained Fairy-type attributes" it's still a retcon. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 00:50, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
::True, but still, the word ''retcon'' is a little bit slangy/casual/Newspeaky, no? Wouldn't the phrase "such-and-such Pokemon were ''changed'' to be Fairy-type" suffice? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 00:54, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
:::It might work, but the definition of the word retcon is just something that alters the facts of a series. Considering that the games themselves state that there are only 17 types in the games from Generation II to Generation V, it should be appropriate to use. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 01:58, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Couldn't we use something besides retcon? It would be nicer if it were worded like " In generation 6 (insert pokemon here) were revealed to be Fairy type."

== Idea to avoid confusion on individual type pages ==

I think it is confusing to have Pokemon's old type status (such as Magnemite and Magneton being listed as pure Electric) in the lists on the individual pages. Now with the somewhat major retconning of Fairy type, where quite a few Pokemon are going to get retyped (or at least have Fairy type added), I think it is a good time to think about taking off these old type statuses, that do not represent the current type status of the Pokemon in question. We could make a page called "Former Pokemon Types" and list those Pokemon, the old type, the new type, and what generation it was changed. Right now we only have to fix Magnemite, Magneton, Rotom, and any Pokemon that get confirmed to get or become Fairy type. Anyone else have any opinions they'd like to share?
[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 07:22, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
:I don't like the idea of moving them to an entirely different page; it makes the information less obviously accessible. Maybe we could just have subheaders? So, for example, in the "Water (type)" page, we could have the "Pure Water-type Pokemon" section without Marill in it and with a "Formerly pure Water-type Pokemon" subsection, which would include Marill as well as an explanation that it was from Gen 2-5, and then go on to the "Half Water-type Pokemon" section with Marill in it as Water/Fairy. (I do like the idea of ''also'' having a place to aggregate all retyped Pokemon. I've suggested a category for it previously.) [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 02:40, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, it had bothered me a little bit before that Magnemite, Magneton, and Rotom, showed both the old types and new types in the same chart, but now with Fairy type (and I'm guessing at least 30 Pokemon getting the type), I really think now is the time to start making decisition like having a category page and changing how we treat the "former typed Pokemon" in the tables.
[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 14:38, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

== Ice type ==

== Retcon ==

It says that Marill, Gardevoir, and Jigglypuff were "retconned" into being Fairy-types. Believe it or not, "retcon" is not a real word, so should it be changed to something else? Like, they were "retroactively declared to be Fairy-types" or something like that? --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 02:09, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
:It's enough of a real word to have a {{wp|Retroactive continuity|Wikipedia article}}, but I agree that it sounds really slangy/unprofessional and should be changed.

::In addition to what Pumpkinking0192 has said, I would like to point out that the [http://oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/retcon|Oxford Dictionary lists retcon as a word.] It lists the orgin as an "abbreviation of retroactive continuity," which would be similar to saying "[...] retroactively declared to be Fairy-types."

== Supposed X and Y Information about fairy type matchups ==

Pokebeach has had a claimer that has leaked most of the things correctly and one of the things is about the fairy type. This is probably true because in Febuary, the claimer leaked 4 new Pokemon and their english names(Revealed, like Gogoat), Parabolic Charge, and Sky battles. Anyway, heres what he says

Fairy will be a new type. It is weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting, and Fire and Psychic-type Pokemon take half damage from it

It's not confirmed yet so you should change it back... [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 19:34, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
:Fairy is confirmed to be neutral against Normal (and I'm not 100% sure but I think it has also been tested with Fennekin).--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 19:41, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

== So, the type chart is out... ==

From the [[type chart]] revealed in the recent CoroCoro, here's what we have for Fairy types:
* Super effective against Fighting, Dark, and Dragon
* Not very effective against Poison, Steel, and Fire
* Weak to Steel and Poison
* Resists Bug, Fighting, and Dark
* Immune to Dragon
This info should be added {{DL|Pokémon X and Y|New type|here}}, too, as well as to the types mentioned above. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 15:53, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
:I agree. I would add to it right now if the page wasn't protected. [[User:Pikakirby|Pikakirby]] ([[User talk:Pikakirby|talk]]) 17:53, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

== New Move ==

I could have sworn I typed this up before but it seems to be missing from the page history. How odd. Anyways "Furfrou can learn Baby-Doll Eyes, a new Fairy-type move debuting in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y that allows its user to go first regardless of Speed and can lower the opponent’s Attack stat.

Xtransceiver

[[File:Black White Xtransceiver.png|thumb|right|Xtransceiver artwork]]

The '''Xtransceiver''' (Japanese: '''ライブキャスター''' ''Live Caster'') is a [[key item]] in [[Generation V]]. Introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}}, it has also made appearances in the spin-off media.

==In the games==
[[File:Key Xtransceiver m Sprite.png|frame|Male model obtain sprite from the Generation V games]]
[[File:Key Xtransceiver f Sprite.png|frame|Female model obtain sprite from the Generation V games]]
===In Pokémon Black and White===
The player obtains his or her Xtransceiver early in the game from their [[mom|mother]]. The {{player}} obtains their Xtransceiver from the start of the game in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions]]. In the context of the game, it is a powerful communication tool, and allows the user to contact other Trainers; however, the player can only use it to talk to other players.

At various points in the plot, the player will receive instructions from other characters to advance the storyline. The player's [[mom|mother]], [[Bianca]], [[Cheren]], and [[Professor Juniper]] all call the player at various points in the game.

Using the [[C-Gear]]'s wireless feature, the Xtransceiver can be used to communicate with other real-life players nearby. Up to four players can talk to each other using a radio-like system. If they have a [[Nintendo DSi]], [[Nintendo DSi XL]], [[Nintendo 3DS]], or [[Nintendo 3DS XL]], they also have the option to see each other with the console's built-in camera.

===In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]], the Xtransceiver takes on a function like the calling functions of the [[Pokégear]] and [[PokéNav]], allowing the player to call other people in-game through the Xtransceiver. However, only plot-relevant characters, in addition to either [[Curtis]] or [[Yancy]], can be registered, although the latter two cannot be called as freely as the others.

The player's mother, Cheren, Bianca, and Professor Juniper are registered after defeating the [[Aspertia Gym]]. Curtis or Yancy can be registered in Nimbasa City after reaching certain requirements.

In addition, two minigames can be played: Balloon Catch! and Balloon Ka-Boom! Both games involve popping balloons. If the player uses the Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL, Nintendo 3DS, or Nintendo 3DS XL, the player's actual face can be used instead of the default images.

The Xtransceiver can also be used over the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|internet]] by selecting it at the [[Global Terminal]] in a Pokémon Center. It cannot be used over the internet if selected from the [[Bag]].
{{-}}
==In the anime==
[[File:Trip Xtransceiver.png|thumb|right|200px|[[Trip]]'s Xtransceiver in the anime]]
[[File:Battle Club Xtransceiver.png|thumb|left|200px|A Xtransceiver in the Battle Club computer]]
[[Trip]] was the first person seen with a Xtransceiver in the anime. It first appeared in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'' where {{Ash}} contacted Trip on a built-in Xtransceiver in [[Luxuria Town]]'s [[Battle Club]] computer. It contacted Trip and Ash asked him for a battle.

In ''[[BW013|Minccino-Neat and Tidy!]]'', {{an|Bianca}} was also shown to have one where she contacted [[Professor Juniper]]. {{an|Dawn}} was also revealed to own one in place of her [[Pokétch]] in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]''.

Also, in the Japanese version of {{series|Best Wishes}}, there is a segment called [[Professor Oak's lecture|Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]], which may be related to the Japanese name of the Xtransceiver.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Xtransceiver Adventures.png|thumb|200px|right|Black's Xtransceiver]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The Xtransceiver makes its first appearance in an advertising commercial for the device. The commercial shooting is interrupted by a wild {{p|Galvantula}} but {{adv|Black}} saves the day by defeating it. Later, he and {{adv|White}} are each given Xtransceivers as thanks.

==In the TCG==
This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring the Xtransceiver in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

{{cardlist/footer|Trainer}}

==Trivia==
* The "X" in Xtransceiver is pronounced as "cross," making the complete name "cross-transceiver," as stated by the {{player}}'s [[Mom|mother]].

==Triva==
* In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2 and White 2]], the colors set to each gender is changed. If the player is playing as Nate, he will have a red Xtransceiver, while Rosa has a Yellow one.

[[File:EmeraldBFLogo.png|thumb|right|100px|Hoenn's Battle Frontier logo]]
[[File:JohtoSinnoh BF.png|thumb|right|100px|Sinnoh's and Johto's Battle Frontier logo]]
The '''Battle Frontier''' is a park dedicated to many different styles of battling.

There have been three so far.

* [[Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Sinnoh's Battle Frontier]], introduced in {{game|Platinum}}, and was the second Battle Frontier, located in the northeast of the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] in the [[Battle Zone]] replacing the {{si|Battle Tower}} from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* [[Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Johto's Battle Frontier]], introduced in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and is the third Battle Frontier, located west of [[Olivine City]] in the [[Johto]] [[region]], replacing the {{jo|Battle Tower}} from {{game|Crystal}}. It is identical to Sinnoh's Battle Frontier.

'''Battle Frontier''' can also refer to:

Signature move

2011-02-28T03:10:16Z

Lego3400:

'''Signature moves''' are [[move]]s that can only be learned by a single Pokémon or its evolutionary relatives by level-up, (unless the move cannot be learned by any Pokémon via level-up, in which case other methods are considered) usually in the same evolutionary line. Note that any of the moves included in this classification (except for {{m|Chatter}}) can be learned by {{p|Smeargle}} by use of {{m|Sketch}}, making Sketch and Chatter the only moves that are truly exclusive to one Pokémon legitimately. Also, some of these moves can be passed down via {{pkmn|breeding}} to other Pokémon.

==One-off signature moves==
This is a list of signature moves that at only one point, another Pokémon had the ability to acquire:

* A {{p|Dratini}} that knows '''{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}''' is obtainable in {{game|Crystal}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} after answering a quiz in the [[Dragon's Den]].
* An egg will be given by the daycare man in {{game|Crystal}} that hatches into a random baby Pokémon that knows '''{{m|Dizzy Punch}}'''.
* A {{p|Skitty}} with '''{{m|Pay Day}}''' can be obtained from a special {{Pkmn|egg}} after depositing 500 Pokémon in [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]] from a Game Boy Advance game pak.
** Also, in Generation I, various other Pokémon can learn '''{{m|Pay Day}}''' through the use of [[TM16]].
* After [[Shadow Lugia|Lugia]] from [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] has been purified, it learns '''{{m|Psycho Boost}}''' and '''{{m|FeatherDance}}'''.
* Similarly, after {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} from Pokémon XD have been purified, they all learn '''{{m|Extrasensory}}'''.
* A {{p|Darkrai}} with '''{{m|Roar of Time}}''' and '''{{m|Spacial Rend}}''' was available as a special giveaway to commemorate the [[M10|10th movie]].
* An {{p|Arceus}} with '''{{m|Roar of Time}}''', '''{{m|Spacial Rend}}''' and '''{{m|Shadow Force}}''' was available as a special giveaway to commemorate the [[M12|12th movie]].

==Other signature move examples==
* Although other Pokémon are capable of learning '''{{m|Drill Peck}}''', {{p|Fearow}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, and {{p|Zapdos}} are shown to be the most common Pokémon to use it.
* The {{p|Squirtle}} evolution family and {{p|Sharpedo}} are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Skull Bash}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM40]] in [[Generation I]].
* Although '''{{m|Megahorn}}''' was no longer {{p|Heracross}}'s signature move starting in [[Generation III]], it was still the only {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon that could learn the move prior to [[Generation V]], where Megahorn is now learnable by {{p|Pendra}}, {{p|Kaburumo}} and {{p|Shubarugo}}.
* {{p|Sudowoodo}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Mimic}}''' by leveling up in [[Generation II]], but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM31]] in [[Generation I]] and [[move tutor]] in [[Generation III]].
* {{p|Lucario}} is usually associated with '''{{m|Aura Sphere}}''' and '''{{m|Force Palm}}''', but eight Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Aura Sphere in total. Seven Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Force Palm. In Generation V, Lucario and Kojondo are the only Fighting-type Pokémon to learn Aura Sphere naturally.
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{p|Charizard}}'s trophy refers to {{m|Flamethrower}} as its signature move.
* Eight Pokémon can currently learn {{p|Arcanine}}'s former signature move, '''{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}'''.
* {{p|Goldeen}} and {{p|Seaking}} had '''{{m|Waterfall}}''' as their signature move in [[Generation I]], before it was changed to a [[HM]]. They are still the only ones to learn it by level up.
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}} is the only Pokémon who can learn '''{{m|Mega Kick}}'''. However, in Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, others could learn it through [[TM]] and [[move tutor]] respectively.
** As for '''{{m|Jump Kick}}''', it was its signature move for the first three generations; however, it was discovered that {{p|Buneary}} and {{p|Lopunny}} can learn it in Generation IV.
* Electrode are most commonly seen using {{m|Explosion}}, with it being shown to use it most in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}}'s signature moves are said to be '''{{m|Pin Missile}}''' and '''{{m|Acid Armor}}''', respectively. Both abilities are alluded to in both Pokémon's various Pokédex entries. However, many Pokémon learn both moves by leveling up, and some through {{pkmn|breeding}}. Likewise, {{p|Umbreon}}'s '''{{m|Moonlight}}''' matches {{p|Espeon}}'s '''{{m|Morning Sun}}''', though others can learn it even in its introductory generation.
* {{p|Suicune}}, being known as the Aurora Pokémon, is associated with the move '''{{m|Aurora Beam}}'''.
* Although {{p|Clefairy}} can learn '''{{m|Meteor Mash}}''' by leveling up in any Generation III game, the only Pokémon that were able to learn it legally before release of {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} were {{p|Metang}} and its evolved form, {{p|Metagross}}.
* {{p|Ditto}} has '''{{m|Transform}}''' as its only move and is most associated with it; however, {{p|Mew}} is also able to learn it.
* {{P|Unown}} can learn only '''{{m|Hidden Power}}'''; however, almost every other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM10]] in [[Generation II]] and beyond.
* Each of {{p|Rotom}}'s forms has its own signature move that cannot be carried over to any of its other forms. However, none of these five moves are exclusive to it.
* Although several Pokémon can learn it by TM, until Generation III only {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} could learn '''{{m|Dig}}''' by level up.
* Until Generation III, {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Weezing}} were the only Poison-type Pokémon capable of learning '''{{m|Smog}}'''. As of Generation IV, they are still the only Poison-types to learn the move naturally, and all other Poison-types must be bred the move to have it.
* Though many others can learn it through TM or breeding, {{p|Skarmory}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Steel Wing}}''' by leveling up.
** Also, this trait is shared with '''{{m|Volt Change}}''', which only {{p|Emolga}} can learn via level-up.
* Prior to [[Generation V]], {{p|Vigoroth}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Focus Punch}}''' by leveling up.
* {{p|Porygon-Z}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Trick Room}}''' by leveling up, although that move can be learned via [[TM92]].
* Almost every Pokémon is able to learn '''{{m|Facade}}''' via [[TM42]]. However, {{p|Chimchar}} is the only one to learn it by leveling up prior to Generation V.
*The move {{m|Razor Shell}}, although it can also be learned by {{p|Shellder}}, {{p|Oshawott}}'s evolutionary line are tied to this move.
* Although only {{p|Panpour}} and {{p|Hiyakkie|its evolution}} are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Scald}}''' by leveling up, other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM55]].
** Also, {{p|Pansage}} is currently the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Grass Knot}}''' by leveling up, other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM86]].
*'''[[Sacred Sword]]''' is not technically considered a signature move in the traditional sense because it is not involved in a sole evolutionary line, but it is uniquely learned by the [[musketeer trio]].
* Although '''{{m|Blaze Kick}}''' was no longer {{p|Blaziken}}'s signature move from Generation III, it remains the only Fire-type Pokémon to learn it by level up.

== Trivia ==
* So far, {{p|Hitmonlee}} has had the most signature moves, with four. However, three of them were only temporarily Hitmonlee's signature moves, and now can be learned by other Pokémon. The other was also previously available to other Pokémon through [[TM]]s and [[Move Tutor]]s.
** However, as of Generation V the Pokémon who possess the most signature moves is {{p|Vespiquen}}, with three which all of them are associated with {{t|Bug|its typing}}.

'''Madame Muchmoney's Granbull''' (Japanese: '''カネヨのグランブル''' ''Kaneyo's Granbull'') is a runaway [[Pokémon]] which appears multiple times in the [[Pokémon anime]], primarily as a {{p|Snubbull}}. She is distinguished by two red bows she wears on her ears.

==History==
[[Image:Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull.png|left|200px|thumb|As a Snubbull]]
Snubbull first appeared in ''[[EP124|Snubbull Snobbery]]'' in the possession of a rich woman named [[Madame Muchmoney]], engaged to another Snubbull named Winthrop. She was not happy with her life of luxury, and preferred playing to pampering and {{an|Brock}}'s [[rice ball]]s to gourmet food. {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} helped Madame Muchmoney to realize this, and so she started making changes just for the sake of Snubbull's happiness.

However, Snubbull still felt something missing from her life, specifically {{MTR}}'s tail which she loves to bite down on. Thus, Snubbull ran away from home to follow [[Team Rocket]]. After this, she appeared in ''[[EP135|Grin to Win]]'', ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', and ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]''.

Her final appearance was in ''[[EP175|The Trouble With Snubbull]]'', where she [[evolution|evolved]] into Granbull and returned to her owner, who had been searching for her since she first left.

'''Team Rocket''' (Japanese: '''ロケット{{tt|団|だん}}''' ''Rocket-dan'', literally ''Rocket Gang'') is an organized crime syndicate in pursuit of evil and exploitation of Pokémon based in the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] regions with a small outpost in the [[Sevii Islands]].

While its main focus is stealing or capturing, then selling, rare and strong Pokémon, it also funds and conducts cruel experimental research on Pokémon. Their oath, as posted on the wall of [[Team Rocket HQ|one]] of their many bases, is "Steal Pokémon for profit. Exploit Pokémon for profit. All Pokémon exist for the glory of Team Rocket." Their ultimate goal is to take over the world using Pokémon.

==In the games==
===In Kanto===
In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|their remakes}}, Team Rocket's attention is focused in their home region of Kanto, distributing Pokémon as prizes through the [[Rocket Game Corner]] in [[Celadon City]] and the [[Rocket Hideout|secret subterranean hideout]] underneath it. In [[Mt. Moon]], one of the many grunts says that Team Rocket intends to sell the Pokémon fossils they are mining in the cave. Several members also broke into a house in [[Cerulean City]] to steal a TM from its owner, and a mission devoted to stealing {{p|Cubone}} skulls in [[Lavender Town]] resulted in a hostage situation involving [[Mr. Fuji]] and the death of a {{p|Marowak}}. Another hostage situation developed soon afterward when the organization overran [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]] with the intention of getting the plans for the [[Master Ball]], a prototype of which had already been produced. A Team Rocket recruiter runs the [[Nugget Bridge]] challenge north of Cerulean, and asks the player to join the Team when the challenge is completed.

The {{player}} is tasked with ousting the organization from its strongholds, and doing so, will meet the Team Rocket Boss, [[Giovanni]]. He is adamant about the success of his plots, but is not heard from again after his appearance at Silph until the player returns to [[Viridian City]] for his or her final badge– which Giovanni himself is in charge of giving out, being the region's eighth, {{t|Ground}}-specialist Gym Leader. After the player has defeated him this final time, Giovanni acknowledges the player as a better Trainer and disappears without a trace, vowing to disband Team Rocket (though it is later revealed in Generation IV that he only intended to become stronger, and he deliberately didn't completely disband Team Rocket).

Three years later, one Team Rocket operative returned to Kanto to steal a critical part from its [[Power Plant]]. Since only this member was involved in this plot, it is likely that he had no knowledge of Team Rocket's prior second disbandment and was working independently. Curiously enough, in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, he mentions that he will return to his home country and rebuild Team Rocket anew, something that he did not say in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|the original games]], though it is later revealed in {{2v2|Black|White}} that he gave up his plans when he returned [[Icirrus City|home]] and subsequently married, instead finding happiness with his new family. Team Rocket has not been seen since.

===In the Sevii Islands===
In FireRed and LeafGreen, Team Rocket has a small branch in the [[Sevii Islands]], searching for the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Ruby}} and {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Sapphire}} gems. This branch is based out of the [[Rocket Warehouse]] on [[Chrono Island]], situated in the middle of the [[Five Isle Meadow]], where many Pokémon are held captive in cages.

Their search for the Ruby leads them to [[Mt. Ember]], though they fail to find it. They then appear in [[Icefall Cave]] where, with the help of [[Lorelei]], they are driven out. A scientist named [[Gideon]] then appears at the [[Dotted Hole]] to retrieve the Sapphire.

They player must then follow Gideon to their Rocket Warehouse where the Sapphire must be retrieved. After the player defeats the two Admins at the Rocket Warehouse, they realize that Giovanni has been defeated in Kanto, and without the lifeblood of the organization, all is lost for the Sevii Islands branch. Team Rocket subsequently pulled out of the Sevii Islands and has not been seen there since.

It is highly likely that this branch may be the precursor to the [[Johto]] branch that will appear [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|three years later]] from this time, as one of the computer screens has plans for a device to force Pokémon to evolve. Such a device will cause a rampage of Gyarados at the [[Lake of Rage]] during the plot of HeartGold and SoulSilver. In addition, the Rocket members here vow to find Giovanni and rebuild Team Rocket, which will the goal of Team Rocket during the Generation II games and their remakes. The Rocket Admins, considering their teams, may in fact be [[Ariana]] and [[Archer]].

===In Johto===
In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|their remakes}}, three years after the defeat of Giovanni at the hands of {{ga|Red}}, a few members of the old Team Rocket attempted to reestablish the organization and get it back in operation, while awaiting the return of [[Giovanni|their leader]], who was apparently away on solo training.
[[Image:Slowpokewell.png|thumb|right|Team Rocket taking over the [[Slowpoke Well]]]]
This new Team Rocket started off small, first kidnapping the {{p|Slowpoke}} from [[Azalea Town]] and cutting off their [[Slowpoketail|tails]] to sell on the black market. They began their operation, led by Executive [[Proton]], in the [[Slowpoke Well]], where all of the local Slowpoke dwelled. However, with the help of [[Kurt]], the player manages to scare them away, and return the Slowpoke back to the town. When the player enters Goldenrod City, a Rocket is seen outside the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]]. In Generation IV in Ecruteak City, the player encounters a Rocket Grunt harassing a [[Kimono Girl]], and the player must defeat him. Eventually, they are encountered in [[Mahogany Town]], where they have set up a [[Team Rocket HQ|secret hideout]] in the basement of the town's shop, which stores a machine that emits high-frequency sound waves. These sound waves brainwash Pokémon and induce evolution in the {{p|Magikarp}} that live in the [[Lake of Rage]] north of the town, turning them into {{p|Gyarados}}, which are far more profitable than their pre-evolutionary form. With the help of the [[Indigo Plateau]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Lance]], the player defeats the syndicate once again. In this mission, the player must defeat Executives [[Petrel]] and [[Ariana]].

In a last-ditch attempt to get in contact with their former leader, Giovanni, the group hijacks the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] in [[Goldenrod City]], flooding the airwaves with a message to Giovanni. [[Petrel]], who disguised himself as the impostor station manager, met with the player, who challenged the Rocket Executive to a battle, and in the process, admitting the location of where they were holding the real station manager to the player, in Goldenrod Underground. Thus, with the real station manager free of Team Rocket's hold, the player rushes off to meet [[Archer]], the interim head of Team Rocket, where they face off in a final match. Once again defeated by the main protagonist, the Executives in charge of the operation vow to disband Team Rocket for good. Every Rocket Executive is fought in this mission. Likewise, several miles away, in [[Tohjo Falls]], Giovanni heard the message, intending to use it as his return, until he was defeated by the player and {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}}, who had traveled back in time with {{p|Celebi}}.

The Team Rocket members involved in the Johto plot may be connected in some way to the Sevii Islands branch of Team Rocket, as the Executives have similar teams to the Executives there, while a computer in the [[Rocket Warehouse]] indicates the beginnings of the Lake of Rage plot.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Team Rocket BW.png|thumb|Team Rocket as seen in the {{series|Best Wishes}}.]]
In the [[Pokémon anime]], Team Rocket is based in Kanto, with many smaller branches across Kanto and Johto. Like in the games, [[Giovanni]] is the Gym Leader of [[Viridian City]]'s Pokémon Gym during {{Ash}}'s journey through the region, however, he is later revealed to have abandoned his duties.

An underground school for aspiring Team Rocket operatives is present somewhere in the region, while the organization's headquarters were formerly near [[Pallet Town]]. The headquarters was relocated sometime during Ash's journey in Johto or [[Hoenn]] to a large building in a canyon following damages it sustained due to {{an|Mewtwo}}'s anger at being controlled.

===The trio===
[[Image:Team rocket anime.png|left|thumb|Jessie, James and Meowth in their white uniforms as seen from ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]'' through [[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]].]]
A trio of Team Rocket field agents, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and a talking {{MTR}}, were defeated on an assignment to steal Pokémon from Viridian City's [[Pokémon Center]] by rookie Trainer [[Ash Ketchum]] and his {{AP|Pikachu}}, and since then have followed him everywhere on his journey in order to steal the Pikachu that humiliated them. After following him through Kanto and Johto, coming in contact with many other Team Rocket members along the way and being shown as incompetent compared to said members, the trio followed Ash to the [[Hoenn]] region under directions from Giovanni to establish a branch of Team Rocket there (though this was really only a ploy to get them out of his hair). When Ash returned from Hoenn after competing in its [[Ever Grande Conference|regional League Conference]], the trio returned to Kanto as well, empty-handed. After following him through Kanto once again, Giovanni assigned the trio to the [[Sinnoh]] region, again with the directive to establish a Team Rocket branch there.
[[File:Team Rocket BW 1.png|thumb|right|Team Rocket in the ''Best Wishes'' series]]
Giovanni claims to not even recognize the three agents, and has rejected the only Pokémon they ever presented to him: a {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and a {{TP|Jessie|Yanma}}. Meowth often [[Boss fantasy|fantasizes]] about pleasing Giovanni with Pokémon captured using one of the trio's many harebrained schemes and mechas, at which point he would then replace [[Giovanni's Persian]] as "top cat", however this is hindered by both the fact that Ash and [[Ash's friends|his friends]] defeat the trio each time, as well as Giovanni's low opinion of the three, who have managed to eat up much of Team Rocket's funding with their failures.

While Giovanni views the trio as "bumbling idiots who can't do anything right", they have occasionally shown that they can do things right, if only by working on the side of Ash and his friends. It should be noted that when other Team Rocket members have come into contact with Ash or any of his friends they've been often just as easily foiled as these three.

The trio has often been shown as poor or having little money. This may be due to the amount of machinery and costumes they use in their attempts to capture Ash’s Pikachu. Because they have an unusually high rate of failure, one would wonder why Giovanni continues to fund their projects. They often take on side-jobs like selling food at stadiums or creating fake items and selling them to the public. Several episodes after the series began, they notably started speaking in rhymes from time to time.
[[File:Team Rocket HQ.png|thumb|right|Team Rocket's Headquarters as seen in the ''[[Best Wishes]]'' series]]
As of ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' the trio have undergone a major character shift and, rather than being the comedic relief of the series, the team have a far more serious nature and have become more of a threat to Ash and his friends. They also seem to be more quick-witted than they were before and have successfully accomplished several missions assigned to them. Aside from that, Jessie and James also received new uniforms. Team Rocket as an organization has also been featured far more prominently that it did in all the previous series. For instance, there appear to be multiple agents situated all across the [[Unova]] region who pass on information and orders to Jessie, James and Meowth. Giovanni himself has also been featured much more prominently, unlike in previous series when his appearances (outside of Meowth's [[boss fantasy|boss fantasies]]) were rare. Now he is in regular contact with the trio, assigning them missions and passing on information. As a result, Giovanni is now a serious threat as he is beginning to take a more active role in the trio's operations.

===Other members===
Many other members of Team Rocket have appeared besides the aforementioned boss and trio, most of them field agents as well. A recurring duo that is rivals with Jessie and James, [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]], shows up from time to time. This pair reports to [[Dr. Namba]], rather than Giovanni directly.

[[Attila]] and [[Hun]], operatives from Team Rocket's [[Johto]] branch, are featured as antagonists in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', where they play the same role as Jessie and James do to {{jo|Jimmy}}, {{jo|Marina}}, and [[Vincent]]. Other Johto operatives include {{TR|Tyson}}, who was in charge of the [[Lake of Rage]] experimentation; [[Domino]], an elite Team Rocket member that was part of [[Mewtwo Returns|a mission]] to recapture {{an|Mewtwo}}; the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], a high-ranking agent who managed to [[M04|capture a Celebi in one of his Dark Balls]], and [[Professor Sebastian]], a high-ranking Rocket scientist involved in both Attila and Hun's and Tyson's plots.

Jessie's mother, [[Miyamoto]], was at one time a Team Rocket member under [[Madame Boss|Giovanni's mother]], however, she disappeared without a trace on an expedition to find and capture {{p|Mew}}.

Team Rocket has attempted to do many major and potentially globally-altering operations, including cloning DNA of Mew and altering it to create {{an|Mewtwo}}. This stemmed out of a desire of Giovanni to appease his mother's obsession with Mew. When Mewtwo finally finished developing, he deceived Mewtwo into working for him, using him in Gym Battles against such Trainers as [[Gary Oak]] (who suffered his first of only four losses in the anime to date). Team Rocket also attempted to capture and control a {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Celebi}}, and it also created a device that could force Pokémon to evolve.

They have various means of [[Transportation in Pokémon|transportation]], such as boats, submarines and helicopters.

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
In ''Pokémon Adventures'', "Rocket" is an acronym standing for "'''R'''aid '''O'''n the '''C'''ity, '''K'''nock Out, '''E'''vil '''T'''usks."

Although grunts are first seen in ''[[PS001|Glimpse of the Glow]]'' searching for {{p|Mew}} in [[Pallet Town]], Team Rocket as an organization was not introduced until ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}. Here they are mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] as an evil syndicate that use Pokémon for sinister purposes, mostly experiments. They are then seen looking for a {{evostone|Moon Stone}} in [[Mt. Moon]]. After running into Red and Misty they battled them with a {{p|Rhyhorn}}, and when it looked like [[Pika]] may defeat it, a mysterious injection caused it to evolve into {{p|Rhydon}}. It was still defeated and the admin shown to be controlling it was [[Koga]].

Then they are seen with Red infiltrating their ranks trying to find {{adv|Green}}, who stole some information on Mew that was important for them. It was also revealed that under the [[Rocket Game Corner]] was a research facility for {{p|Mewtwo}}. After Green was found they revealed another Pokémon with a special ability, a Tauros with the ability to control other Pokémon with a swish of its tail. However they were defeated when Green's [[Ditty]] transformed into that Tauros and make the other Pokémon defeat themselves. However they believed they were okay since they retrieved the disc on Mew, which was, in fact, a fake. After realizing, they go out to find a Mew they though they saw, which was Ditty again. Eventually they figure it out and run into Red and Green who found the real Mew. Eventually as it was shown that the battle was going south Mew stepped in and knocked out the Rocket that was leading this hunt and his {{p|Jynx}}, leaving after that and Red and Green get away as well.

They are then seen on the Seafoam Islands chasing after Articuno only to be once again stalled by Red to a point where Articuno (which froze itself), defrosted and their combined forces easily drove Team Rocket away once again. Then they appear on Cinnabar confronting Blaine who had betrayed them. After Red joins the fight the then reveal their Moltres and the grunts disperse. Moltres is defeated by Red's Aerodactyl but is then revealed that it doesn't matter since it is then revealed that [[Koga]] has captured Articuno and [[Lt. Surge]] has obtained {{p|Zapdos}}.

After Blue and Green fail to get into Saffron City Blue takes a photo from the air showing some of Team Rocket's grunts there, making Blue deduce that that's their headquarters.

Once they get into Saffron City, the three of them enter Silph C., albeit for their own reasons. In each room each of the three had to face on of Team Rocket's heads. Red defeated [[Lt. Surge]] on 1F, Blue beat [[Koga]] on 2F, and Green managed to subdue [[Sabrina]] on 3F. The three of them met on 4F where a merger of the [[legendary birds]] was created by the Badge Energy Amplifier known as [[Zapmolcuno]]. Zapmulcuno was defeated, freed and split apart into the three birds. The Silph Co. building was destroyed with the three heads captured except [[Giovanni]] was still at large.

In the {{chap|Yellow}}, Team Rocket is disbanded except there are many rumors of Team Rocket slowly rebuilding. These rumors are proven true when the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]] attacks the [[SS Anne]]. After that the three admins that were thought to be incarcerated or even dead were proven to be out and waiting for Blaine, Blue, and Yellow. They revealed that the SS Anne attack was just a ploy to get the Elite Four's attention, but since Yellow ruined it, their plan backfired. Sabrina then had her Alakazam make the [[Spoons of Destiny]], pairing each of the Pokédex holders with a rocket Admin. Blue went with Koga, Sabrina with Blue, Yellow and Blaine, and Lt. Surge was paired with Red but went with Bill instead since Red had been kidnapped and Bill's spoon had not bent since he didn't want to fight.

Each of these pairings was able to defeat a member of the Elite Four. Koga and Blue beat Agatha, Red, Bill, and Lt. Surge beat Bruno, Green and Sabrina beat Lorelei, and Yellow and Blaine defeated Lance.

===Neo Team Rocket===
Later in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, it was revealed there was a revived branch of Team Rocket in Johto. They were first seen trying to take the bag full of Pokémon that [[Joey]] had been entrusted to deliver to Professor Elm, but the ended up taking Gold's backpack instead, greatly angering Gold since it had all of his family Pokémon in it. After they realized they made the mistake, Team Rocket dumped the bag and went to Elm's lab, ending Gold and Silver's (who Gold thought was the culprit) battle by knocking out Gold with an Elekid. Silver then took them on and defeated all of the Rocket Grunts and they all disappeared by the time Gold regained consciousness.

They appeared once again at the [[Ruins of Alph]], searching for the Unown when they encountered Bugsy and Gold. Gold had his Sunbo use flash to blind them which in turn, had the Unown which they all thought were simply symbols on the wall come out and attack them. Team Rocket then had their {{p|Spinarak}} use Spider Web to trap Gold and Bugsy in a room, but Gold had [[Exbo]] use SmokeScreen so some Unown would get caught in the web and take out their anger on Team Rocket. Their new leader then appeared in the shadows and mumbled about their incompetence.

They then appeared inside the Slowpoke Well trying to get Slowpoke Tails but Silver appeared and defeated all of them single-handedly.

They next appeared in [[Ecruteak City]] where it was revealed that an earthquake that hit the city was really caused by them and an admin's {{p|Piloswine}}. They then battle against {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}}, mainly Silver so they could get revenge for him ruining their Slowpoke Well Operation but Gold joined in to get back at them for interrupting his first battle with Silver. They defeated them and they retreated since, according to the female admin, they had gotten the information they needed on Ho-Oh's behavioral patterns.

They then had their leader revealed to be the [[Masked Man]], and he sent the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]] to catch the legendary beast, {{p|Suicune}}. They failed due to {{adv|Crystal}} and [[Eusine]]'s interference.

==In the TCG==
Team Rocket has been featured in several expansions of the TCG, most notably in the self-named {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion, where {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}} were introduced, and the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion, which commemorated the release of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. In addition, there are several Pokémon belonging to Team Rocket in the {{TCG|Gym Heroes}}, {{TCG|Gym Challenge}}, and {{TCG|Pokémon VS}} expansions. A special Team Rocket promo card is being distributed in Japan as part of the promotion of the twelfth movie.

==Trivia==
* Team Rocket is the villainous team to have the most regions under its control, as it had operatives in Kanto, the Sevii Islands, and Johto (if one goes by the anime, it also has operatives in the Orange Islands and Unova).
* Team Rocket is the only villainous team that appears in each [[Generations|generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]].
* Team Rocket is the only main series villainous team to not have anything to do with their respective games' version mascots. In the same way, they are the only villainous team that has yet to try and use a legendary Pokémon to achieve their goals (in the game; while in the anime have attempted to do so on several occasions, most notably with Giovanni and {{an|Mewtwo}}).
** In the anime, however, Team Rocket has tried to obtain the most legendary Pokémon for their own uses (by Jessie and James) out of any other villanous team.
** In Pokémon Adventures manga, they did have in their plans (and eventually succeeded) catching {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}}, but were then released; {{p|Mew}} to create {{p|Mewtwo}}; and in the ''[[Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter (Adventures)|Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter'']], their missions included to catch {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Celebi}}.
* Both Jessie and James have befriended or owned a Pokémon whose species are known to frequently work for the good of common people, a [[Nurse Joy's Blissey|Chansey]] and a [[Growlie|Growlithe]] respectively, with Chansey being known to work as nurses and Growlithe (along with Arcanine) being often used as police dogs. This is interesting to note considering Team Rocket's association with crime and illegal activities.
* Team Rocket is the only villainous team to have explicitly caused a death, that of [[Marowak (literal ghost)|the Marowak in Pokémon Tower]].

'''White''' (Japanese: '''ホワイト''' ''White'') is the fifteenth main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]] and one of the female main characters for the {{chap|Black & White}}.

==Character==
White is the president of the [[BW Agency]], a company that has a large supply of Pokémon actors that can be used for commercials, plays, movies, and stunts. Whenever her company's reputation is put on the line, she'll do anything to prevent it from happening.

==History==
White first appears watching the shooting for a Xtransceiver commercial when she encounters {{adv|Black}} shouting out his ambition to become a Master Trainer. When she discovers he has a male Tepig, she decides to hire him, due to her hearing that she needed to bring only a female Tepig, only to learn she really needed both genders. When Black is suspected of sabotaging White's commercial shooting, she tries to prove his innocence (actually just trying to not get him arrested, due to the fact that if he was arrested, so would his Tepig) and watches as he finds the real culprit, a {{p|Galvantula}}, and defeating it at the cost of the shooting equipment. She pays for the destroyed equipment and states that she hired Black for her company, forcing him to call her "President."

Pokédex holder

2011-02-25T05:50:44Z

Lego3400:

[[File:Emerald chapter.png|thumb|right|300px|The Pokédex holders and their main Pokémon as of the {{chap|Emerald}}]]
'''Pokédex holder''' is the term used by [[Professor Oak]] in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}} to describe a {{pkmn|Trainer}} that has
been given a [[Pokédex]]. These Trainers are often very gifted in one particular area, which Professor Oak has dubbed each’s “special skill”. These Trainers all have “starter” Pokémon from their regional [[Pokémon Professor]]s (although [[Pika|the Pikachu]] Oak gave to {{adv|Yellow}} was {{adv|Red}}’s and she later caught [[Chuchu|her own]]), though most already owned or trained Pokémon prior to receiving them. The Pokédex holders have become a very tight knit group with many of them bonding with their cohorts in their regional adventures and later with their seniors and juniors.

In many cases they have been targeted, due to the fact that they were powerful (especially as a group) or simply that they had a Pokédex in the first place, making them quite vulnerable. During the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, the [[Kanto]] Pokédex holders, plus {{adv|Silver}}, were turned to stone. Months later, they were revived by {{adv|Emerald}}.

The Pokédex holders are named for 15 [[main series]] games that are not [[remake]]s, with the exception of Cheren and Bianca. Also, White is not a pokedex holder despite being named for a main series game.

'''Mewtwo''' (Japanese: '''ミュウツー''') is a {{type2|Psychic}} {{pkmn2|legendary}} [[Pokémon]] cloned from a {{p|Mew}}.

The story of Mewtwo is chronicled in ''The Birth of Mewtwo'' (CD drama), ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' (movie), ''Mewtwo Returns'' (TV special), and the bonus short from ''Mewtwo Returns'' "The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin". He made a brief appearance in the {{pkmn|anime}} in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', when [[Giovanni]] used him to defeat [[Gary Oak]], and in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', where he escapes from [[Team Rocket]] headquarters (a scene also chronicled in ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'', and later seen again in ''Mewtwo Returns'').

==History==
[[File:Young Mewtwo.png‎|thumb|left|225px|Young Mewtwo crying as Ambertwo dies]]
Approximately twenty years before the present, Team Rocket discovered that a Mew was living in the {{wp|Andes|Andes Mountains}}. Many years later, under the orders of its new leader, [[Giovanni]], Rocket members went back to the area to search for fossils. They succeeded in finding an eyelash belonging to Mew. Giovanni asked [[Dr. Fuji]] to clone Mew for him. Fuji agreed because he wanted to use Team Rocket's research funds to attempt to clone his deceased daughter, {{an|Amber}}.

One month after the discovery of the eyelash, Mewtwo was successfully created and was stored at [[New Island]]. At this point, he was still not fully grown and lived in a large test tube alongside a tube containing Ambertwo. Fuji and Giovanni thought Mewtwo was sleeping inside his tube, but he was able to communicate telepathically with Ambertwo. However, because the lifeforce of a human is not as strong as a Pokémon's, the Amber clone died. Mewtwo also grew alongside three other clones, a Bulbasaurtwo, Squirtletwo, and Charmandertwo. However, these clones died shortly before the Amber clone, suggesting that Mewtwo's lifeforce is even stronger than a normal Pokémon's.

Eventually, Mewtwo fully matured and broke out of his test tube. Those responsible for his creation were happy that they succeeded in their goal of creating the world's most powerful Pokémon. Enraged and confused about the circumstances that led to his creation and powers, Mewtwo attacked the scientists on New Island. Despite the efforts of security systems that attempted to control him, Mewtwo destroyed the island and all the scientists on it.

[[File:Mewtwo Analysis.png|right|thumb|225px|In his robotic suit, as an unknown species, according to the [[Pokédex]]]]
Immediately thereafter, Giovanni found Mewtwo and convinced him to help with Team Rocket's goal of controlling the world. Mewtwo's power was focused, as well as weakened and controlled, by a robotic suit of armor as he performed tasks such as battling under Giovanni within the [[Viridian Gym]] and helping Team Rocket capture Pokémon. Eventually Mewtwo became tired of being used by Giovanni. He developed a strong hatred for humans, and thought that they were weak beings only interested in power and greed; he also despised the [[Caught Pokémon|Pokémon who served humans]]. He escaped from Giovanni, destroying Team Rocket headquarters in the process, and relocated to his birthplace on New Island, where he built his own headquarters. Mewtwo then issued a challenge to several strong [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, including [[Ash Ketchum]]. He used his powers to create a storm that would serve as a test to see who could make it to the island. Only a handful of Trainers managed to brave the storm and arrive, including Ash and his friends. Upon revealing himself, Mewtwo challenged the Trainers with a {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Charizard}} (all cloned) to prove his superiority to human Trainers and the superiority of cloned Pokémon to trained Pokémon. To do this, he used a variation of the {{DL|Poké_Ball|Other_variants|Poké Balls}} used by Trainers. Once caught in the Balls, the Pokémon that had been brought to the island were cloned in an upstairs laboratory. However, before Mewtwo could defeat the Trainers and move out into the world, Mew appeared. The two Pokémon fought and ceased battle when Ash was caught in their crossfire and turned to stone. After Ash is revived by the tears of the nearby Pokémon, clone and original alike, Mewtwo experiences a change of heart and stops his destructive rampage. Wanting to find himself, Mewtwo erased the memories of those present and he and his clones left New Island for [[Johto]].

[[File:Mewtwo Cloak.jpg|left|thumb|225px|Wearing his cape during the introductory sequence of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'']]
A few years later, Giovanni found Mewtwo's hiding place via one of their satellites and began a plan to capture him once again. However, this plan was foiled when Mewtwo again met with Ash, who did not remember their previous encounter. Giovanni restrained Mewtwo, but {{ashfr|Ash and friends}} helped him to escape and defeat Giovanni. At the end of the ordeal, Mewtwo erased Giovanni and his soldiers' memories of him, and decided to move throughout the world searching for the meaning of his life.

In the epilogue to ''Mewtwo Returns'' and in some TV series opening sequences and movie previews, Mewtwo has been seen wearing a plain brown cape and moving across rooftops at night.

He also had a passing mention in the special ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', when the {{pkmn2|mirage}} Mewtwo was created, [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]] claimed "This is not the Mewtwo you are familiar with", possibly meaning he saw Pikachu's memory of Mewtwo.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Mewtwo_in_the_City.png|right|thumb|230px|Mewtwo overlooking a city at the end of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'']]
*In the [[M01|first movie]], Mewtwo used {{m|Shadow Ball}} despite this move not being released at the time.
* The cloned Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur look extremely similar to their cloned evolved forms. Mewtwo also mentions when he introduces them to {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, [[Fergus]], [[Corey]], [[Neesha]], and [[Nurse Joy]] that he also had a Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur, and that they evolved, which hints that he may have cloned them from his childhood friends.
* The city that Mewtwo is seen overlooking at the end of Mewtwo Returns bears a great resemblance to real life {{wp|New York City}}. Buildings that resemble the {{wp|Chrysler Building}} and {{wp|Metlife Building}} can be seen in the distance. The narrator refers to it as "a far away city."

Villainous team

2011-02-25T00:23:28Z

Lego3400: /* In the games */

{{incomplete}}
'''Villainous teams''' (English: Team ~; Japanese: -団 ''-dan'') are {{wp|Organized crime|criminal organizations}} which form the core of the storyline of [[Pokémon games]]. There are eleven as of [[Generation V]]: [[Team Rocket]], found in [[Generation I]], [[Generation II]] and the remakes of both generations; [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]], found in the [[Generation III]] main games, [[Cipher]] and [[Team Snagem]], found in the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] games; [[Team Galactic]], found in the [[Generation IV]] main games; the [[Go-Rock Squad]], of {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}; and Teams [[Team Dim Sun|Dim Sun]] and [[Team Debonairs|Debonairs]], of {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, the [[Pokémon Pinchers]] of {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}, and [[Team Plasma]] of the [[Unova]] Region. Whatever their goals are in their respective games, the one thing they all have in common is that they achieve their results through the misuse of Pokémon (sans Team Plasma, who treat Pokémon as their friends).

==Comparisons==
Whereas [[Team Rocket]] has vague goals and is {{wp|Mafia}}-like (or perhaps {{wp|Yakuza}}-like, considering the Japanese background), Team Aqua and Team Magma have clear goals and are {{wp|cult}}-like, fanatically believing that achieving their goals will bring about the best interests of the people of the world. Cipher and Team Snagem work together to steal Pokémon from others and create [[Shadow Pokémon]] from them, while the leader of Team Galactic wishes to recreate the universe in his image with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} and/or {{p|Palkia}}. The Go-Rock Squad plan to take over the Pokémon Rangers by capturing powerful Pokémon, making them cause disasters, then commanding the Pokémon to stop by using Stylers so they will be regarded as heroes. [[Team Dim Sun]] plans on using Pokémon to make energy for Altru Inc. and Almia. Each has an iconic leader - [[Giovanni]] (later missing), [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], [[Evice]] and [[Greevil]], [[Gonzap]], [[Cyrus]], [[Gordor]], and [[Blake Hall]] respectively.

Team Rocket had extensive presence in [[Generation I]], known activities include running the [[Celadon Game Corner]], invading [[Silph Co.]], and murdering at least one Pokémon. Even in the {{pkmn|anime}}, where law enforcement officers are clearly present, Team Rocket's activities continue unhindered, as if they were above the law. 

In contrast, [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]'s activities are at extremes: simple theft: stealing [[Peeko|a Pokémon]], a meteorite, and one [[Submarine Explorer 1|submarine]]; and causing catastrophes: halting the activity of [[Mt. Chimney|a volcano]] and causing droughts and heavy rains by awakening {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, while [[Cipher]] steals countless Pokémon and closes their hearts artificially to make them into fighting machines.

Similarly to Team Rocket, [[Team Galactic]] appears to run the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. However, unlike the other teams, Team Galactic has several facilities. A warehouse and [[Team Galactic HQ|the headquarters]] are both in [[Veilstone City]], and [[Galactic Eterna Building|another building]] is located in [[Eterna City]]. Team Galactic is far more successful than the other teams in accomplishing their goals, as they have captured {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, created the [[Red Chain]], and temporarily capture {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} until the player character and the [[lake guardians]] (or, in {{v2|Platinum}}, {{p|Giratina}}) foils them.

The above refers to the games; however, there is a darker interpretation of the teams in the manga [[Pokémon Adventures]].

==Trademark characteristics==
===[[Team Rocket]]===
[[File:HeartGold SoulSilver Team Rocket Grunt.png|thumb|left|Team Rocket grunts]]
Team Rocket members wear black costumes and have a red "R" as their crest. Many variations of the costume have been seen. Their leader is [[Giovanni]].
====In the games====
In [[Generation I]], Team Rocket often worked to gain money, through methods such as burglary and selling fossils. Their plans culminated in a hostile takeover of the Silph Corporation building in Saffron City. The gang based their operations in the hidden basement of Celadon's Game Corner.

Initially, [[Giovanni]] was the leader of the [[Viridian Gym]]. After being defeated by {{ga|Red}}, he resigned his position and disappeared to train. Team Rocket was disbanded at this time, but isolated groups still operated in the Sevii Islands until they were made aware of Giovanni's departure.

For three years, Team Rocket appeared to be gone completely. However, an underground movement, led by executives from the Sevii Islands, developed in the Johto region. As usual, it began with crimes committed to earn money (such as cutting off Slowpoke tails and selling them at outrageous prices).

As the Johto Team Rocket grew in size, scientists within the group studied radio waves and how they might be used to control Pokémon. From a former ninja base in Mahogany Town, their experiments affected the Magikarp at the Lake of Rage, causing the Pokémon to evolve unnaturally. Although the experiment was stopped by Lance, Team Rocket soon took over the Goldenrod Radio Tower, intending to use its transmitter to affect Pokémon nationwide.

Before putting their plan into action, however, Team Rocket used the tower to instead attempt to contact Giovanni, hoping he would hear their message and come back to lead. This gave {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} enough time to infiltrate the besieged Goldenrod and defeat Team Rocket's executives, who again disbanded the group. Meanwhile, a time traveling Ethan/Lyra from the future fights Giovanni while the other watches the fight. He then vanishes after the fight and Ethan and Lyra return to their time.

====In the anime====
Team Rocket has appeared in almost every episode since [[EP002|the second]], usually as the bumbling trio [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, though at times [[Giovanni]] as well as other members, such as [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]], will appear.

====In the manga====

=====Pokémon Adventures=====

Team Rocket first appear in Pokémon Adventures when {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} are pursuing {{p|Mew}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. They are led by [[Giovanni]], who is portrayed in a much more sinister light than in the anime or games, as with Team Rocket on a whole.
Contrary to the games and anime, who generally depict [[Gym Leader]]s as valiant, with a few exceptions, in the Red Arc, the three most prominent members of Team Rocket, collectively referred to as the [[Team Rocket Triad]], are [[Koga]], [[Sabrina]] and [[Lt. Surge]]. Like the other villainous trios, two members of the Team Rocket Triad (Sabrina and Lt. Surge) are true to their original calling (though as opposed to the other villainous trios, for them it is being Gym Leaders, not being members of their Team), while one goes his own way, that being Koga.
For a short time, [[Blaine]] too works for Team Rocket, making 5 out of the 8 [[Gym Leader#Indigo League|Kanto Leaders]] Rocket affiliated at some point in their life.

As in the games, Giovanni later disbands Team Rocket and shuns the Team Rocket Triad, and the four of them go their separate ways. Team Rocket make a brief comeback aboard the S.S. Aqua, but they are on the whole unsuccessful. Later, however, [[Pryce]], under the guise of the [[Masked Man]], reforms Team Rocket for his own uses. At this point his most prominent members are [[Carl]], [[Sham]], [[Karen]] and [[Will]]. Pryce plans to use Team Rocket to gain control of {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} and eventually {{p|Celebi}}, and through that control time in order to save his {{p|Lapras}}'s parents. After {{adv|Gold}} convinces him to cease his villainous ways, he too disbands Team Rocket, and they are not seen again in the manga.

In the Fire Red Arc, Giovanni once again reforms Team Rocket, the most notable members now being the three Beasts of Team Rocket. The main aim for Team Rocket is to reunite Giovanni with his son, {{adv|Silver}} through use of {{p|Deoxys}}. Like the other villainous trios, two of the Beasts remain true to their original calling (as Rockets), those being Orm and Sird, while the other, Carr, goes his own way. In this arc, Silver is intended to inherit Team Rocket, but he instead shuns it. It is unclear what Team Rocket's fate are at the end of this arc, but with the members in disarray, it is most likely that it dissolved.

===[[Team Aqua]]===
[[Image:Team_Aqua_Grunts.png|thumb|left|Aqua Grunts]]
They wear blue costumes that look like {{wp|pirate}} outfits. They have an skull-and-bones-like "A" as their crest. Their leader is [[Archie]]. Team Aqua tries to expand the ocean and awaken {{p|Kyogre}}.
====In the games====
Team Aqua are the antagonists of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]] and {{v2|Emerald}}, but they are heroes in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby]].

====In the anime====
====In the manga====

=====Pokémon Adventures=====

Team Aqua is lead by [[Archie]].
Their principal aim is to gain control of {{p|Kyogre}} and increase the sea in the Hoenn region.
There are three Executives, known as the SSS of Team Aqua, which can be considered a parallel not only to the Three Fires of Team Magma, but the Team Rocket Triad and the Three Beasts of Team Rocket. Like the other villainous trios, one member of the SSS of Team Aqua went his own way, but rather than leaving Team Aqua, it was rejoining after being kicked out.
Team Aqua and Team Magma are presented more individually in Adventures than in any other medium. Team Aqua seem to have more influence, with Archie holding the position of News Director, but they don't seem to be as well equipped, as shown by the fact that they had no idea what the Orbs were until Amber spied on Team Magma.

===[[Team Magma]]===
[[Image:Team_Magma_Grunts.png|thumb|left|Magma Grunts]]
They wear red jumpsuit outfits, which have been variously interpreted to look like {{wp|Ninja}} costumes or similar to an imp. They have a stylized "M", appearing like a volcano, as their team's signature crest. Their leader is [[Maxie]]. Team Magma attempts to wake {{p|Groudon}} and expand the land area of the world.

====In the games====
Team Magma are the antagonists in Ruby and Emerald, and are heroes in Sapphire.

====In the anime====
====In the manga====

=====Pokémon Adventures=====

Team Magma is lead by [[Maxie]].
Their principal aim is to gain control of {{p|Groudon}} and increase the landmass in the Hoenn region.
There are three Executives, known as the Three Fires of Team Magma, which can be considered a parallel not only to the SSS of Team Aqua, but the Team Rocket Triad and the Three Beasts of Team Rocket. Like the other villainous trios, one of the Three Fires of Team Magma goes her own way, in this example, it is Marge, who decides to help {{adv|Ruby}} stop {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} rather than further the cause of Groudon, as the Team's principal aim is. The Three Fires of Team Magma are more distinct from each other than the SSS of Team Aqua, because they all have an individual way of using fire. Marge's is the most straight forward, she simply aims to burn things, Mitch uses smoke to hide his movements and Mack uses heat to cause his victims to hallucinate, oddly, he seems to be able to control these hallucinations.
Team Magma and Team Aqua are presented as more individual than they are in any other medium. Team Magma is presented as better equipped in the field of capturing a Legendary Pokémon and using its powers for their own end, as shown by their knowledge and obtainment of the two Orbs, however, they are not as influential, and Archie is able to convince most of Hoenn that Team Magma are the only villains.

===[[Cipher]]===
====In the games====
In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} this group aims to turn every Pokémon in the world into [[Shadow Pokémon]]. Their leader in Colosseum was [[Mayor Es Cade|Evice]] and their leader in XD: Gale of Darkness was [[Greevil]].

====In the anime====
Due to the [[Orre]] region not appearing at all in the anime, everything associated with it does not appear as well. Due to the connection between [[Shadow Pokémon]] and the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]]'s [[Dark Ball]]s, it would not be surprising if this team were based on him.

====In the manga====

===[[Team Snagem]]===
====In the games====
In Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD this team tries to steal every Pokémon in the world using their special device, the [[Snag Machine]]. In both games, their leader was [[Gonzap]].
====In the anime====
As above, the Orre region has not appeared in the television series, therefore Team Snagem has not appeared either.

====In the manga====

===[[Team Galactic]]===
[[File:Team Galactic Grunts DPPt.png|thumb|left|Team Galactic grunts]]
Galactic Grunts wear black and white jumpsuits that vaguely resemble spacesuits and wear their hair in teal bowl cuts. Their leader is [[Cyrus]], who wishes to create a new universe by awakening {{p|Dialga}} or[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|*]]/and[[Pokémon Platinum Version|*]] {{p|Palkia}}. Their team's crest is a stylized letter "G" (Possibly to make it resemble a spiral galaxy). Whereas the other teams usually have large logos on their uniforms, Team Galactic's logos are small, being barely visible on their battle sprites.
====In the games====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, this team's leader (named [[Cyrus]]) wishes to recreate the {{pkmn|universe}} in his image with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}. In {{game|Platinum}}, the leader is still Cyrus, but this time, he tries to summon both Dialga and Palkia to create a world without spirit.

====In the anime====
[[Saturn]], along with two grunts, appeared in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', though it was just a brief cameo at the end of the episode. Here, they commissioned Team Rocket to steal the Adamant Orb and frame [[Nando]] for the crime. At the end, they commented that they did a lousy job at it. This was not revealed until their next appearance, ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]''. Saturn tries to locate the {{p|Unown}} and control them using a cube with an {{p|Arceus}} pattern. [[Cyrus]], [[Mars]], and [[Jupiter]] later appeared in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'' with Saturn.

====In the manga====

===[[Team Plasma]]===
[[file:Black White Team Plasma Grunts.png|thumb|left|Artwork of Team Plasma Grunts]]
Team Plasma is the Villainous team of the Unova region. Their objective is to separate [[human]]ity from Pokémon. Their leader is [[N]].
====In the games====
Team Plasma appears in various locations.

===[[Team Meanies]]===
====In the games====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], they are the enemy team. They harass the player and their partner many times, including stealing their personal rescue missions and attacking them. Eventually, the player has to rescue one of the members, and the leader of the team asks for help.

====In the anime====
Team Meanies appeared in the Mystery Dungeon anime short, ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. Like in the games, they are the enemy team to [[Team Go-Getters]].

===[[Team Skull]]===
====In the games====
They are a team of Pokémon in the second pair of Mystery Dungeon games. It is made up of {{p|Skuntank}}, {{p|Koffing}}, and {{P|Zubat}}. They frequently harass the player's team, until [[Brine Cave]], where Skuntank is injured. The two teams finally make up, and Team Skull is never seen again.

'''Splash''' (Japanese: '''はねる''' ''Hop'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation II]], it was the signature move of {{p|Magikarp}}. It has no effect whatsoever.

==Effect==
===Main series===
====[[Generation I]]====
Splash has no effect whatsoever. After selecting the move, it will simply show an animation, and then the message "No effect!".

====[[Generation II|Generations II]][[Generation III|-III]]====
Splash's message has changed to "But nothing happened!".

====[[Generation IV]] [[Generation V|and on]]====
In addition to its previous (lack of) effect, Splash now cannot be used while {{m|Gravity}} is in effect.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
The user will move to a different tile one ratio away. The user will inflict 5 damage to itself and the opponent if the move comes in contact with another Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Splash is the only move that has been introduced that does nothing to either the opponent or the user. In {{g|Mystery Dungeon}}, however, Splash will deal 5 damage to both any foe in the way of the attack and the user.
* Every Pokémon that can learn Splash by leveling up learns it as a starting move.
* No [[Generation V]] Pokémon are able to learn Splash.
* While the English name suggests an association with water, the Japanese name, はねる ''(haneru)'', can mean both "splash" and "hop" (although usually the latter). This explains why the move can be learned naturally by Pokémon such as {{p|Spoink}} and {{p|Hoppip}}, species who have no association with water but are known for hopping or jumping and why {{m|Gravity}} disables it. The translation as "Splash" was likely due to the fact that it was only available to Magikarp when it was introduced.
** This could also explain why Splash is not {{type2|Water}}, as well.
** It's battle animation does however involve what appear to be water droplets.

'''Clair''' (Japanese: '''イブキ''' ''Ibuki'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Blackthorn City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Blackthorn Gym]]. Her specialty is {{type2|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and she gives the {{badge|Rising}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. Her cousin is [[Lance]].

==In the games==
[[File:Gold Silver Clair.png|140px|thumb|left|Headshot of Clair from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
Clair appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as the Leader of the [[Blackthorn Gym]]. She is the eighth and final Gym Leader to be met in the [[Johto]] region, and defeating her will allow Trainers to advance to the [[Indigo Plateau]]. Known as "The Blessed User of Dragon Pokémon", Clair is descended from a long line of Dragon-type Trainers including her cousin, [[Elite Four]] member [[Lance]], and the [[Dragon Clan Elder|elder]] of Blackthorn's Dragon Clan.

Clair is confident of her abilities as a Trainer, and speaks of herself as "the world's best dragon master". She can hold her own against the [[Elite Four]]: her only known loss is against Lance, now the Champion. Even if the player defeats her in battle, she refuses to accept his or her talents unless they pass the "Dragon User's Challenge". The {{badge|Rising}} that victors of the Blackthorn Gym are entitled to remains in Clair's possession until Trainers have navigated the [[Dragon's Den]] and located a shrine at its center. Only then will Clair acknowledge her loss. She will also encourage the player to excel at the Pokémon League; this is mainly personal, so she will feel less upset about her defeat at the hands of a child. As well as the Rising Badge, she will also issue a {{t|Dragon}} Technical Machine: {{tm|24|DragonBreath}} in [[Generation II]]; {{tm|59|Dragon Pulse}} in [[Generation IV]]. Many of her own Pokémon know these moves in the respective generations.

The player's rival, {{ga|Silver}}, takes to training in the Dragon's Den once the Elite Four have been defeated by the player. In this way, he is said to act as Clair did when she was young herself. She returns here from time to time, and will battle alongside her cousin against Silver and the player. She tries to partner up with Silver after he challenges Lance (who asks the player to be his parter), but Silver insults her outfit and asks the player to partner with him instead. She comes here every morning between 6:00 AM and 10:00 AM after the player and rival defeat her and Lance, and will give her [[Pokégear]] phone number to the player. If called on Friday evening, she will journey to the [[Fighting Dojo]] and have a rematch with the player.

Clair makes an additional appearance in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s [[Johto]] [[Gym Leader Castle]]. This is the only appearance she makes where she uses Pokémon that are not draconian in origin.

==In the anime==
[[File:ClairDragonairHGSS.png|thumb|left|250px|Clair in {{an|Lyra}}'s presentation in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'']]
Clair appears in five episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]], toward the end of the [[Pokémon: Master Quest|Master Quest]] saga: ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'', ''[[EP252| Fangs for Nothin']]'', ''[[EP253| Great Bowls of Fire]]'', ''[[EP254| Better Eight Than Never]]'' and ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''.

As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|company}} near [[Blackthorn City]], they discover a {{p|Dratini}} and a {{p|Gyarados}} in a river. They discover that both Pokémon belong to Clair, who is following the Dratini down the river as it prepares to shed its skin. [[Team Rocket]] snatches the Dratini, however, and Clair gives chase, demonstrating her highly acrobatic abilities. Dratini escapes, and Ash fights to protect it. During the ensuing battle, however, an electric shock is headed straight for Dratini, but Clair jumps in front of it to absorb the shock. Dratini witnesses its trainer's devotion, and [[Evolution|evolves]] into a {{p|Dragonair}} in order to put a stop to Team Rocket. Later, Clair is finally able to perform an important ritual to purify the legendary {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}}. Clair then goes on to accept Ash's challenge for a {{badge|Rising}}.

[[File:Clair Anime.png|thumb|right|215px|Clair in the anime]]
Ash has the first strike, but the battle is cut short when Team Rocket steals the Dragon Fang. Ash, Clair and Team Rocket all end up in the [[Dragon Holy Land]], where Team Rocket trick a {{p|Dragonite}} into helping them. Luckily, {{jo|Liza}} and [[Ash's Charizard]] arrive to help save the day. Ash's Charizard then helps him earn him his final [[Johto League]] badge.

Although Clair does mention [[Lance]] in the anime, he is not her cousin like in the games; instead, she recalls that he trained under her at the [[Blackthorn Gym]] before he joined the [[Elite Four]].

|desc={{p|Dragonair}} is Clair's main Pokémon. It first appeared as a {{p|Dratini}}, when it was shedding its skin and Clair was protecting it at that time. When [[Team Rocket]] tried to steal Dratini, Clair protected it which led it to [[Evolution|evolve]] into a Dragonair. With its new powers, Dragonair easily defeated Team Rocket.

Clair also used her Dragonair in the rematch against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]''. With its speed and power, it defeated {{AP|Pikachu}} easily. With a wide range of moves such as {{m|Dragon Rage}}, it proved to be a tough challenge for Charizard as well. Eventually it was however defeated by Charizard's {{m|Seismic Toss}}, earning Ash the {{badge|Rising}}.}}

|desc={{p|Kingdra}} is one of Clair's strongest Pokémon. Clair uses it in both battles with Ash. In the first battle, Ash first decided to use Pikachu, but as Pikachu's attacks didn't have that much effect on Kingdra, Ash switched to {{AP|Noctowl}}, which was easily defeated. Right after this the match interrupted as Team Rocket was trying to steal the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}}.

During the rematch, Kingdra put up a good fight against Ash's {{p|Snorlax}}, but was finally defeated by Snorlax's {{m|Ice Punch}}.

Kingdra's known moves are {{m|Twister}}, {{m|Hydro Pump}}, {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and {{m|Swift}}.}}

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
[[File:Clair and Morty.png|thumb|200px|Clair and her Kingdra (left) with Morty and his Misdreavus (right)]]
Clair was initially unhappy with the lack of capable trainers wishing to battle her. Clair then traveled to the Dragon's Den where she met {{p|Suicune}} and battled it. Despite her efforts, she was outclassed by its tactics, and lost rather quickly, due to Suicune's use of {{m|Mist}} to create a reflection or illusion of itself. She then learned from the [[Dragon Clan Elder]] that the [[legendary beasts]] appear to trainers they deem worthy which is why Suicune came to Clair. She then deduced that Suicune was looking for a worthy enough trainer to be its master.
[[File:Clair HGSS Special.png|thumb|100px|left|Clair in the ''HGSS'' chapter]]
Later, at the Gym Leaders Challenge, she was to face off against [[Blaine]]. This was an important matter for her, because as [[Lance]]'s sister, she thought that Blaine would know what became of Lance after Blaine and Lance's battle at [[Cerise Island]] the year before.

During the attack by [[Team Rocket]], which ended up with all the Gym Leaders trapped on the recently completed bullet train, she forced Blaine into fighting their duel. Blaine quickly won due to {{p|Entei}}'s powerful attacks. Thus, the Kanto Gym Leaders claimed victory, with four wins, three losses and one draw.

==Trivia==
*Her Japanese Leader title is {{tt|聖なるドラゴンポケモン使い！|Blessed Dragon Pokémon Tamer}}.
*When Clair is beaten in the game, she is so impressed and frustrated, she refuses to give the player the Rising Badge. Instead, she sets the player on an extra task: He or she must go to [[Dragon's Den]] and pass the Dragon Elder's test. When the player has done this, Clair, true to her word, arrives and hands over the badge as well as {{TM|24|DragonBreath}}. Afterwards, she says "No, it has nothing to do with my breath." The meaning of this was somewhat lost in translation, as Clair's Japanese name, Ibuki, can be taken to mean "breath". Despite this, a pun remains, as "dragon breath" is a term sometimes used for someone who has {{wp|halitosis}}. Because she gives out {{TM|59|Dragon Pulse}} in Generation IV instead, this joke was removed, though Clair does start to make a reference before becoming somewhat embarrassed.
*Clair is the only Gym Leader to be seen in the anime in the U.S. before she was seen in Japan. The U.S. opening ''[[Born to Be a Winner]]'' featured exclusive clips, one of them of Clair, not shown in Japan. The opening made its debut in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' which aired August 18th, 2001 and Clair's Japanese debut wouldn't come until ''[[EP251|Beauty Is Skin Deep]]'' which aired on June 6th, 2002. The only other character to debut in the U.S. first was [[Dr. Yung]].
* Clair is the only Johto Gym Leader whose team's Pokémon changed between {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
** This parallels [[Giovanni]], who was the only [[Kanto]] Gym Leader whose team was altered between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; both are the final Gym Leader of their respective region.
* Clair is the only Gym Leader in the rematches at the [[Fighting Dojo]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver who does not have any post-[[Generation II]] Pokémon.
* Clair is the second Gym Leader to team up with a member of the Elite Four against the player's rival. [[Volkner]] was the first.
** Coincidentally, both Volkner and Clair are the last Gym Leaders of their respective regions, the focal regions of even-numbered generations.
* Clair appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. She uses a {{p|Dragonair}} in battle.
* Strangely, the music used in her tag battle with Lance isn't either the Champion's theme or the Gym Leaders' theme, but rather the normal battle music for a Johto trainer battle.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, many characters in-game make fun of Clair's outfit, such as [[Erika]] and {{ga|Silver}}.

'''Brodie''' (Japanese: '''バンナイ''' ''Bannai'') is a character in the [[Pokémon anime]].

== History ==

[[File:Brodie Magma.png|left|thumb|200px|Brodie in [[Team Magma]]]]
Brodie was a member of [[Team Magma]] before its dissolution, after which he became known as "Brodie The Phantom Thief". He is also known as "The Man of a Thousand Faces," having perfected the art of disguising himself in order to get his goals accomplished.

He debuted in the episode ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]'', disguised as [[Millie]], a scientist at the [[Weather Institute]] who was supposed to be collecting data on {{p|Groudon}}. [[Team Aqua]] tried to steal the data directly, unaware Millie was really Brodie. When [[Shelly]] threatened to harm [[Bart]] and the other scientists at the Institute, Brodie revealed himself as a Magma agent and escaped with the information the Institute had gathered on the [[legendary Pokémon]].

Brodie also appeared in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]''. He disguised himself as various people, including [[Officer Jenny]], in order to steal the [[Ribbon Cup]] for the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. When confronted by the real Officer Jenny, Brodie willingly gave up the Ribbon Cup and flew away once again. He hasn't been seen since.

'''Jessie''' (Japanese: '''ムサシ''' ''Musashi'') is a member of the [[Team Rocket]] trio with [[James]] and {{MTR}}, that follows {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} around in the [[Pokémon anime]], usually trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]], but always failing.

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[File:Jessie anime.png|left|thumb|200px|Jessie in her [[Team Rocket uniform#White uniform|white uniform]] worn from ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' to ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''.]]
Jessie's mother, [[Miyamoto]], was a high-ranking Team Rocket agent. When Jessie was around the age of three, Miyamoto left on a mission to the {{wp|Andes}} to record the voice of the elusive Pokémon {{p|Mew}}. However, after Miyamoto disappeared, Jessie was put into a foster home which had very little money. There were times when she had no choice but to eat snow because of a lack of more nourishing food.

When she was old enough, she left home to become a Pokémon nurse in [[Johto]]. However, the school she was enrolled in was literally for ''Pokémon'' nurses (i.e. {{p|Chansey}}), so she failed to graduate and left, leaving behind a [[Nurse Joy's Blissey|Chansey]] she had befriended there. In the episode ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', Jessie was reunited with that same Chansey, which had since evolved into a {{p|Blissey}}. It is assumed that she then traveled back to [[Kanto]], where she enrolled in [[Pokémon Tech]], a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s school, she met [[James]], and subsequently failed and dropped out. After this, Jessie and James joined a bicycle gang in [[Sunny Town]], where Jessie was known for swinging a chain above her head as she rode her bike, acquiring the nickname "Chainer Jess". It was revealed in ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'' that she was a model at one point.
[[File:Jessie BW anime.png|thumb|Jessie in the {{series|Best Wishes}}|220px]]
Due to conflicts in canon between Kanto and Johto episodes and the special episode ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between Jessie and James after the bike gang is unknown. What ''is'' known, as shown in the special episode, is that they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with {{MTR}} but they quickly made up and became good friends.
[[File:Jessie hair.png|thumb|Jessie after beating up her Seviper for biting off her hair|200px]]
[[File:Jessie and James first appearance.png|200px|thumb|left|Jessie and James's first apperance in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'']]
Sometime before joining Team Rocket, and it is not known when, Jessie obtained a [[Contest Pass]] in the [[Hoenn]] region. Also during the years before Team Rocket, she had several boyfriends, all of whom left her and/or treated her badly. In ''[[EP234|Xatu the Future]]'', she revealed that she had once worked at a T.V. station as the weathergirl. In ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]'', it was revealed that she once was a ninja. In ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]'', it was revealed that she had a crush on a boy she had gone to school with named [[Astin]], who has a current-day counterpart [[Austin|with a similar name]].

She has a long-standing bitter rivalry with [[Cassidy]], another member of Team Rocket. Team Rocket member {{an|Wendy}} held a grudge against Jessie for failing to pay for a drink (making Wendy pay), but got her revenge when she added the charge to Jessie's overall Team Rocket bill.

Jessie seems to have a special preference for snake-like Pokémon, owning both an {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and a {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké Showdown]]'', she expressed a preference for {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon in general.

It is revealed in ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'' that Jessie is almost identical in appearance to James's fiancée, [[Jessiebelle]], with the two of them having virtually identical faces and the only noticeable physical differences between them being eye color, hairstyle, and slightly different hair colors. Meowth in particular takes notice of this and frequently reminds Jessie of the fact throughout the episode, something she takes strong offense to due to Jessiebelle's reprehensible personality. Interestingly enough by the time the subject of Jessiebelle is breached again in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'' she seems to have forgotten about her doppelganger and needs Meowth to remind her of who she is. The resemblance between the two was further explored in ''[[DP153|The Treasure is All Mine!]]'' when she disguised herself as Jessiebelle in order to grant herself, James, and Meowth, entrance into one of James's family mansions without James having to do so himself.

Jessie is also known to be very vain and is also prone to explosive anger. She values her appearance, and she can get furious when her face or hair is damaged, such as in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile!]]'', ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]'' or ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]''. When this happens, she may do things like beat up a Pokémon such as {{MTR}} or her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. Furthermore, Jessie goes into a violent outrage whenever someone insults her beauty by calling her old, such as the episode ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' when {{an|Misty}} calls Jessie an "old hag" (Japanese: ''oba-san''). She spat fire in extreme anger after Misty called her that name in that episode. She is also angered (compared to her companions, who are usually depressed when they fail at something) when missions are either failed or botched, which is a regular thing. This anger was intensely demonstrated in the Indigo League, Orange Islands and part of the Johto League story arcs. However, her anger tantrums started to become less intense over the next two story arcs. It should be noted that her short temper, while it has always been a part of her character, tended to appear far more intense in the dub than in the original, which is a contrast of Lillis's vocal performance to Hayashibara's.
[[File:Jessie Jessebella.png|thumb|200px|left|As Jessebella]]
Starting in [[Hoenn]], Jessie became a [[Pokémon Coordinator]], entering every contest that she could. She frequently made it to the battle round, but usually lost there. However, in ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith]]'', she finally succeeded in winning an (unofficial) contest by using [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]], which she had saved earlier in the episode. And, in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', she won an official contest with her Dustox at [[Solaceon Town]]. Later in ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist]]'', she won a ribbon with help of her Yanmega. She has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in the Hoenn, Kanto, and Sinnoh regions.
[[File:Jessadia.png|thumb|200px|As Jessadia]]
In the Kanto contests, Jessie [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] herself as ''Jessebella'' (Japanese: '''ムサぴょん''' ''Musa-pyon'') wearing a red dress and glasses. Eventually, Ash, Brock, Max and May found out her true identity in the last contest.

[[File:Jessalina.png|thumb|left|250px|Jessie disguised as Jessilina]]
During the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Jessie dressed up as ''Jessadia'' (Japanese: '''プリティ・ムサリン''' ''Pretty Musalin'') and wore glasses, long white socks, a yellow and orange dress, and had her hair in pigtails. She worked there as an announcer and [[Lilian Meridian]]'s assistant; Lilian herself said she did not really like Jessadia's style, but recognized her talent.

In Sinnoh {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s, Jessie disguised herself as ''Jessilina'' (Japanese: '''キャンディ・ムサリーナ''' ''Candy Musalina''), using big glasses and an orange dress. She was notable for the fact that, in the appeals round of a contest, Jessie tended to use her Pokémon to show herself off, rather than showing them off. The orange dress she wore was ripped into pieces during her appeal for the Grand Festival in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]''.
[[File:Jessie in Grand Festival.png|thumb|250px|Jessilina in the Grand Festival]]
In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' she once again used her Jessadia disguise to report on the [[Wallace Cup]]. She used it again in ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]'' to interview [[Fantina]].

Although Jessie entered mostly every contest in Hoenn and Kanto, she lost in all of them, whether it was the first match of the Battle Rounds or the finals. However, in the Sinnoh region, she won three ribbons herself using her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}, {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} and {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, and obtained a ribbon after James won a contest in her place, as well as receiving one from [[Princess Salvia]] after she lost to her. Jessie is now eligible to participate in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], and has made it to the semi-finals, losing to Dawn.

She's also used other aliases to disguise herself under, such as ''Jessilinda'' during her time at the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] and ''Jessilynlyn'' while competing in the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]]. Against [[Marilyn]] in ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'', she used the alias ''Jessirilyn''.

===Pokémon===
As with the standards set by the Team Rocket organization, Jessie initially started off with mainly {{type2|Poison}} types, but as the anime continued onward, her team has diversified. However, she is still strongly associated with Poison-type serpentine Pokémon, such as Arbok and Seviper. Most of her other Pokémon tend to be unusual in appearance and don't usually fit the general image of "cute". However, she does display a desire to obtain Pokémon that are considered "adorable" when the opportunity presents itself, especially feminine Pokémon such as {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Smoochum}}. She was also attracted to a {{p|Weavile}} in ''[[AG185|Duels of the Jungle!]]''.

Occasionally, she manages to take control of some powerful Pokémon, but due to either inexperience or hubris, this often backfires and loses control of them. She doesn't appear to train her Pokémon that often. Instead, they are often used to fight against {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}}. When she enters {{pkmn|Contest}}s, she tends to involve herself in her Pokémon's appeals.

==In the games==
==={{game|Yellow}}===
Both Jessie and James appear in Pokémon Yellow as in-game bosses. They first attack the main character in [[Mt. Moon]], while trying to take one of the rare [[fossil]]s uncovered there.

Later, in [[Celadon City]]'s [[Rocket Game Corner]], Jessie and James guard Giovanni's room in the Team Rocket base. During that time, as the player runs into them, they are eager for revenge after the main character busted up their plans at Mt. Moon.

They hold Mr. Fuji hostage at [[Pokémon Tower]]. They attack the {{ga|Red|main character}} on the seventh floor.

Finally, at [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]], Jessie and James make their final appearance, once again trying to stall the main character from reaching [[Giovanni|their Boss]].

Unlike in the anime, Jessie and James do not follow the main character around and come up with their usual evil plans to capture Pikachu.

===Pokémon Puzzle League===
Along with many other anime characters, both Jessie and James appeared in [[Pokémon Puzzle League]], where they appeared with a Weezing, an Arbok, and a Golbat. They are the main opponents in the "Spa Service" line clear challenge.

==In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga==
[[File:Jessie EToP.png|thumb|left|Jessie in the manga]]
Jessie appears in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}} series along with her teammates [[James]] and {{MTR}}.

Her first appearance is in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''. She, James and Meowth tag along with a group of lost Pokémon, including {{AP|Pikachu}}, to try and find the [[Hidden Village]]. When they arrive, she and James attempt to steal the Pokémon living in the village, but they are quickly expelled by a {{p|Kangaskhan}}. In this chapter, she uses a {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} in battle.
[[File:RocketShipping.png|thumb|right|Jessie and [[James]] as a [[RocketShipping|married couple]] in the manga]]
Jessie's next appearance is in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. She and James attempt to steal a herd of wild {{p|Pikachu}}. At this point in the manga, Jessie's {{p|Ekans}} has evolved into {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, though its evolution is not depicted in the manga.

While in the anime, the nature of Jessie's relationship with James is not explicitly stated, in the epilogue of the manga, James is shown [[RocketShipping|confessing his love to Jessie]]. They are shown afterwards married with Jessie visibly pregnant.

Like many female characters in the manga, Jessie is depicted with an oversized bust, though this is edited down for [[VIZ Media]]'s English translation.

==In the TCG==
[[File:SugimoriJessie.png|right|thumb|Art from the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} TCG Jessie theme deck]]
Jessie and James appear on both versions of the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Here Comes Team Rocket!|15}}, which originally released in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set; it was re-released with different artwork in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}. In that expansion, there was also a preconstructed {{TCG|Theme Deck}} based on {{TCG|Jessie}}.

==Trivia==
* According to James in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', Jessie is short for Jessica.
* Both Jessie and [[James]] have used a {{p|Charizard}} at separate times. They have used a third one together as well. However, none of the three remained in their care.
[[File:Jessie Special Lure.png‎|Jessie's special lure|thumb]]
* In Sinnoh, she dressed up as a cowgirl and she was called Catherine Jessieburn. This is a direct reference to the legendary Hollywood actress {{wp|Katharine Hepburn}}.
* Jessie was the only member of the anime's main cast who traveled through Sinnoh with a Pokémon not in the extended Sinnoh Pokédex. In fact, she had two; {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}.
* Similar to [[Misty's special lure|Misty's]], Jessie also has a special lure being modeled after her, as seen in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''.
* In ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom!]]'', Jessie had {{wp|sinusitis}}.
* In the main series games, Jessie and [[James]] are the only characters from [[Generation I]] to appear only in that generation, as they do not reappear in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] when [[Kanto]] is revisited, and (being exclusive to {{game|Yellow}}) were not adapted into the [[Generation III]] {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} remakes.
* Jessie's hair color changed from red to magenta in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin at You, Elekid]]''. This was because this episode was the first to feature digital colored animation, and was possibly due to Jessie's updated Sugimori artwork featuring magenta hair. In all the hand-colored cel animated episodes before the latter, Jessie's hair color was red. In certain movies though, such as ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', depict her hair to be red, possibly because of a different style in coloring.
* Until ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]'', every episode in which Jessie obtains a ribbon have been featured in episodes animated by 岩根雅明 ''Masaaki Iwane''.
* Out of all the Pokémon Jessie captured, she never actually weakened any of them with her Pokémon in battle; {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} one-hit-KO'd Arbok and never took any damage; {{TP|Jessie|Shellder}} was battled by [[James]] and his {{TP|James|Weezing}}; {{tp|Jessie|Wurmple}} was captured on the spot without any battling involved; {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} was beaten up by Jessie ''herself''; {{TP|Jessie|Yanma}} was weakened by [[Tyler]] and his {{p|Piplup}}; {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} was captured off-screen.
* In ''[[EP218|Plant It Now... Diglett Later]]'', Jessie claims to be 12 years old when an elderly woman claims to be 120, and Jessie reacts by saying "No! That's ten times my age!" However, Meowth replies "Now where did you learn that math?" implying she is older.
**However, in the dub of ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'' Jessie is said to be 17 years old.

===Name origin===
Jessie's English name is taken from {{wp|Jesse James}}, an American outlaw. Her Japanese name, Musashi, is taken from 宮本武蔵 ''{{wp|Miyamoto Musashi}}'', a famous Japanese swordsman. In his most famous duel, he defeated his rival, 佐々木小次郎 ''{{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}}'', after whom James got his Japanese name. However, one can argue that she is also named after the Japanese battleship {{wp|Musashi}}, as her rival [[Cassidy]]'s Japanese name is based on the Japanese battleship {{wp|Yamato}}.

She is based on a combination of [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s old girlfriend from when he was in school and the female antagonist of the ''[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1472 Time Bokan]'' anime series.

Maddie Blaustein

{{Featured}}
----
[[Image:Maddie_blaustein.jpg|175px|right|thumb|Maddie Blaustein]]
'''Madeleine Joan Blaustein''' (October 9, 1960 — December 11, 2008), most commonly credited as '''Maddie Blaustein''', was a voice actress who provided the voices of many characters in the English-language dub of the [[Pokémon anime]]. Her most famous role is that of {{MTR}}. She was also credited as '''Adam Blaustein''' and '''Addie Blaustein'''.

==Biography==
Maddie Blaustein was born on October 9, 1960, in {{wp|Long Island|Long Island, New York}}, USA, as '''Adam John Blaustein'''. She was a male-to-female {{wp|Transsexualism|transsexual}}.

In addition to being a voice actress, Blaustein was also an artist and writer. She had written and edited for {{wp|Marvel Comics}} and, at the time of her death, was the senior digital artist at {{wp|DC Comics}}. She created the character of Rubber-Band Man from the cartoon {{wp|Static Shock}}. Blaustein was an artist in [http://www.trannyroadshow.com Tranny Road Show], a performing group composed of {{wp|transgender}}ed artists and performers. She had also collaborated with Gina Kamentsky on the cartoon ''Platform 6''. She also coached [[Kayzie Rogers]] for anime voice acting.

===Death===
Pokémon fan sites [http://www.pokebeach.com PokéBeach] and [http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml Serebii.net] both reported on December 16, 2008, that anonymous sources, at least one affiliated with [[4Kids Entertainment]], told them Blaustein died in her sleep on December 11, 2008, after saying she was not feeling well.

Several days later on December 16, a blogger for 4Kids' The Buzz news feed [http://www.4kids.tv/buzz/view/2005 posted confirmation of Blaustein's death].

==Pokémon roles==
Blaustein was one of the original voice actors on Pokémon. She initially only played [[character of the day|characters of the day]], but after [[EP032]], she took over [[Nathan Price]]'s role as {{MTR}}. She had commented that she tried to view the Japanese version of the series, and one of her goals was to emulate the scream that [[Inuko Inuyama]] gives Meowth. She remained with the series up until [[The Pokémon Company International|Pokémon USA]] took control of the dubbing and distribution. Most of her roles were taken over by [[Bill Rogers]] and [[Jimmy Zoppi|Billy Beach]].

She returned in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] [[SS020|special]] and provided the voice of {{p|Chatot}}, which was her last role on [[Pokémon]] before her death.

==Trivia==
*Shortly after the news broke that the voice cast would change after [[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]], she joined [[Serebii.net]]'s forums to answer questions from fans about working on the dub and the switch over.
*Maddie and [[Ikue Ohtani]] are the only actors listed as reprising their anime roles (Meowth and Pikachu, respectively) in ''[[Pokémon Live!]]''. While Ikue is listed as the voice of Pikachu in the show, considering Ikue's role in the dub is just a reuse of her work from the Japanese version, it's likely only archive recordings of Ikue Ohtani were used for Pikachu in the show. Given this, Maddie is very likely the only actor from the anime to actually contribute a new performance for the live show.

==Trivia==
* The Japanese name of this move, つばめがえし ''Swallow Return'' (more commonly known in English as the "Turning Swallow Cut"), is probably taken from the signature technique of the legendary swordsman {{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}} (the namesake of [[Team Rocket]]'s [[James]]). It is widely believed that it consisted of first a rapid downward slash from above, immediately followed by an upward slash on the same line (this same motion is used for the move's animation in [[Generation IV]]). Its name came from Kojirō's observations of the motion of a swallow's tail in flight.
* {{p|Heracross}} is the only non {{type|Flying}} Pokémon able to learn Aerial Ace naturally.
* Although {{p|Kabuto}} can learn Aerial Ace in [[Generation III]] through TM, it can no longer capable of learning this move in later generations with the same TM.
* For unknown reasons, {{p|Fearow}} couldn't learn Aerial Ace naturally, while its {{p|Spearow|pre-evolution}} could in Generation III.
* Despite [[Winona]]'s post-battle claim in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, Aerial Ace is not an increased priority move.
*Diglet and Dugtrio can learn this movie despite being known for never leaving the ground, which contradicts with the move's flying type.

{{Redirect|Zukan|Japanese figures named after the Pokédex|Pokémon Zukan figures}}

[[File:Pokédex BW.png|thumb|right|250px|Pokédex in Black and White]]

The '''Pokédex''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|図鑑|ずかん}}''' ''illustrated Pokémon encyclopedia'') was created by [[Professor Oak]] as an invaluable tool to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the [[Pokémon world]]. It gives information about all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the world that are contained in its database, although it differs in how it acquires and presents information over the different medias. However, they are also only given to a few trainers at a time, generally to the ones that are felt to have exceptional potential and skill. There are different types of Pokédexes and each Pokédex is special to a specific region.

Pokédex entries are typically only two- or three-sentence bits of information about the Pokémon referred to. In some events it gives background information on the habitat or activities of this Pokémon in the wild; at other times it gives other bits of information on the Pokémon's history or anatomy. The infomation included is important info on the Pokémon, height, weight (once obtained), cry, other forms, a few sentences about the Pokémon, and a picture of the Pokémon.

==Functions==
In order to accomplish Professor Oak's goal of a complete database of information on every Pokémon, the Pokédex is designed to find and record data on each Pokémon the trainer meets. Pokémon are added to the Pokédex simply by encountering them in battle (or a few special exceptions in Gen IV, such as seeing a picture), but detailed entries are not recorded until the player catches the Pokémon or acquires it in a trade.

===Entries===
The main feature of any Pokédex are the entries on each individual Pokémon, which provide a lot of detail that would otherwise be unexplored in the games.

====Generation I====
[[File:RBYPokedex.png|thumb|right|The main interface of the first Pokédex model]]
In [[Generation I]], the entries were simple and each individual section could be accessed directly from the listing. The first, and main part, was called Data, and included an image of the Pokémon, its number, name, [[species]], Height, Weight, and a short blurb. The second part was called [[Cry]], and selecting that would simply play the Pokémon's cry. The last part was called Area, and would display the [[map]], along with flashing indicators at each location where the selected Pokémon could be found. In cases where the Pokémon was not available in the [[Wild Pokémon|wild]], was only available [[Legendary Pokémon|once]], or could only be found by [[fishing]] or in [[Cerulean Cave]], the message "Area Unknown" would be displayed over the center of the map instead. The [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow version]] allowed players to print entries using the [[Game Boy Printer]].

{{clear}}
====Generation II====
[[File:JohtoDex.png|thumb|left|Johto's Pokédex, as seen in {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold}}]]
[[Generation II]] retained the same elements as its predecessor, while adding the Pokémon's [[footprint]] to the information, and, like Yellow, allowing players to print entries. Unlike Generation I, selecting a Pokémon displayed the entry in a new screen from which the other sections could be selected. This became the norm for each subsequent generation.

Strangely, entries that would normally display "Area Unknown" on the map simply displayed an unmarked map.
{{clear}}
====Generation III====
[[File:PokedexHoennView.png|thumb|right|Viewing the Hoenn Pokédex in {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire|s}}]]
[[Generation III]] did not add anything to the main entry, however, Cry was given its own page, which would display the soundwave as it played. In addition, the Area section was changed to highlight locations instead of marking them and could now display the locations of Pokémon caught by fishing. A Size section was added, which displayed silhouettes of the Pokémon and the [[player character]] side by side.

[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]] displayed entries in a much different format from Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. It was the first Pokédex to actually display a Pokémon's type in its entry, as well as its box sprite. However, the Cry visuals were removed. Entries for Kanto Pokémon were taken from Red/Green for FireRed and Red/Blue for LeafGreen. Johto Pokémon entries were taken from Silver for FireRed and Gold for LeafGreen.
{{clear}}
====Generation IV====
[[File:Platinum National Pokédex.png|thumb|left|150px|{{p|Giratina}} in the Platinum National Pokédex]]
[[File:HGSSpokedex.png|thumb|right|150px|{{p|Pidgey}} in the Generation IV Johto Pokédex]]
[[Generation IV]] added numerous features, but of FireRed and LeafGreen's changes, it kept only Type. Area would now change its highlight color depending on whether a Pokémon is found on land or in water, and the player could view the differences between morning, day and night, with the default being the current [[time]]. Cry's display returned, with a bar display in addition to the wave display, and the ability to modify the cry via Chorus/Pan, Reverb/Filter and Loop. Weight was added to the Size section, which put the Pokémon and the player character on either side of a balance scale. A new Forms section allowed players to see gender and form differences within species, but only for forms they'd already seen.

[[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]] changed the formatting again, now by displaying the list on the lower screen and the actual entry on the top screen. Cry's page was again removed. By selecting to view details, players could view Area, Size and Forms. Area no longer defaulted to the current time or differentiated between land and water, Size now utilized both screens to display both Height and Weight at the same time, and Forms added a Compare option to see different forms side by side instead of having to scroll between them. Entries for Johto and Kanto Pokémon were taken from Gold for HeartGold and Silver for SoulSilver. Also, while artwork shows a pink Pokédex for females, the in-game interface does not reflect this.
{{clear}}

====Generation V====
[[Generation V]]'s Pokédex is similar to Generation IV's. Its default features are info, map, and voice. If the player obtains a Pokémon from another country, they can select a language for the entry. The map no longer shows what Pokémon appear in the morning, day, or night as it is no longer a factor in Pokémon appearance. Instead, it shows what [[season]] a Pokémon will more likely appear in. It will also show how the Pokémon can be encountered. The voice feature is simple. Tapping on the bottom screen will allow the player to hear the cry. Later in the game, the Pokédex will be upgraded to show a particular Pokémon's different forms. The standard is showing the male and female differences. It will also show the Pokémon with different forms, such as {{p|Castform}}. Different from Generation IV's version, the forms feature will also show the [[Shiny Pokémon|shiny]] version of the Pokémon; the last sprite selected will become the one displayed in the main entry. Like Generation III and Generation IV, this Pokédex does have the height and weight feature.

===Search and Order===
The original Pokédex had no search function.

In [[Generation II]], the ability to search for Pokémon by [[Elemental type|type]] was added, as well as the ability to sort by [[New Pokédex]] mode, [[Old Pokédex]] mode, [[List of Pokémon by name|A to Z]] mode and [[Unown Dex|Unown mode]].

In [[Generation III|Ruby and Sapphire]], the search function was expanded to allow searches by name and [[List of Pokémon by color|color]]. Players were also given the option to order Pokémon by Heaviest, Lightest, Tallest, or Smallest. Two modes were available, [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National]]. National mode was unlocked via a trade with [[Kanto]] or [[Orre]], or in [[Emerald]], defeating the [[Elite Four]].

However, in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]], the search function was dropped altogether, instead choosing to expand the sort functions by adding lists of Pokémon by type and [[List of Pokémon by habitat|habitat]]. Heaviest and Tallest orders were also removed. National Mode was unlocked by having obtained 60 Pokémon in the Pokédex and beating the Elite Four.

[[Generation IV]] brought the Search function back, as well as Heaviest and Tallest orders. Habitat was dropped. Searches could now be conducted by [[List of Pokémon by body style|Form]], but not by Color. The two Pokédex modes were [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh]] and National. National mode was unlocked by seeing every Pokémon in the Sinnoh Dex.

[[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]] added the ability search by Height and Weight (instead of simply sorting by them), and also allowed search by Area ([[Johto]], [[Kanto]], or Unknown). National Mode was added by talking with [[Professor Oak]] after defeating the Elite Four.



==Completion==
[[File:Diploma-red.png|right|thumb|Diploma awarded in Red/Blue]]
Completing the Pokédex is a common goal of trainers and carries with it much esteem due to its difficulty, which has gradually escalated with each new generation, as each has introduced at least 100 new Pokémon to be found. However, this is circumvented to a degree by the introduction of Wi-Fi and the [[GTS]] in Generation IV. The in-game rewards are always a congratulations from the director's avatar and a [[diploma]], though in [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], the player could receive their choice of one Johto [[starter Pokémon]] for completing the Hoenn Dex.

In Generations I-III, the completion of the regional Pokédex is tracked by how many Pokémon the player has caught. However in Generations IV-V, the regional Pokédex is tracked simply by how many Pokémon the player has seen.

{{clear-right}}

==In the anime==
[[File:BW Pokedex.png‎|thumb|right|Pokédex's new design as seen in the {{Series|Best Wishes}}]]

When a young [[Sam|"Sammy"]] Oak was accidentally warped to a future of his own time, {{Ash}} explained to him how the Pokédex works, unknowingly giving him an idea. In ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'' it was mentioned that the Pokédex entries were written by [[Professor Westwood V]] of the [[Seafoam Islands]]. Unlike the games, entries in the anime are pre-programmed into the database and do not require catching to give full information. In this way, they act more as a aide or guide than a recording instrument.

To look up information on a particular species, Trainers may simply point the Pokédex at an individual or manually enter it in. The Pokédex will then display a picture and read the entry out loud. It can also give more information on individuals on request, such as [[level]] and learned [[move]]s. Apparently, a picture or video recording of sufficient quality can also be scanned for information.

The new Pokédex for [[Unova]] comes with a new voice and shows images of the side and back of a Pokémon along with its front.

Trainers without the luxury of a Pokédex may have access to other means of finding information. Some use high-tech computers, like {{an|Giovanni}} in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps On Thieving!]]'' or [[Shingo]] in ''[[EP140|Wired for Battle!]]''. In several episodes, [[James]] uses a deck of cards.

In Pokémon Adventures, it is seen that Pokédexes make a signal when brought close to one another, a sort of communication mechanism that can help locate others. This signal is only activated when held by their rightful owner, as seen in [[PS085]]. This signal seems to apply for all models of the Pokédex, as the Johto [[Pokédex Holder]]s also had their Dexes beeping when they were united at the [[Whirl Islands]], and the Hoenn trio in the {{chap|Emerald}}. Later within the same chapter, all ten Pokédexes made another signal after the previous five to be petrified in the end of the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} were restored. The Sinnoh Dexes had the same function as the past trios, but as they have yet to meet their predecessors, the same one seen when all users were brought together has not been seen since.

Much as in the anime, the Pokédex in Pokémon Adventures displays the known moves by an individual Pokémon, as well as its current health, but unlike in the show counterpart, the Dex Entries are usually taken directly from the games and as such contains readable text, cries, and area-tracking functions rather than vocal functions. The Pikachu interaction feature featured in {{game|Yellow}} was added to {{adv|Red}}'s Pokédex, allowing him to see its mood (though he never is seen making much use of it, as {{adv|Yellow}} was in possession of his Pokédex for most of the [[Yellow chapter (Adventures)|chapter]], and could tell [[Pika]]'s mood on her own anyway). The Pokédex's function takes over much of the control the games give to the player, being able to prevent a Pokémon's evolution, whereas Trainers without a Pokédex have no choice in the matter. As seen in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]'', the Pokédex can discover where a Pokémon was first met by its Trainer, much as the Gen III-added feature allows one to view a Pokémon's origin.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
In the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Pokémon Trainers receive their Pokédexes when their application to become a Pokémon Trainer is accepted. A Pokédex contains information on a Pokémon's moves and abilities, as well as general information (such as how some Pokémon, like {{AP|Pikachu}}, dislike [[Poké Ball]]s) and the ability to tell if a Pokémon has critically low [[Stats#Hit points|HP]]. In addition, all Pokédexes contain a copy of the Trainer's licence.

Updated versions of the Pokédex are released from time to time: in ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'', [[Professor Oak]] gives {{Ash}} a beta version of the latest model of the Pokédex.

==In the TCG==
[[File:PokédexHANDY910isDiamondPearl111.jpg|thumb|righ|Pokédex HANDY910is]]
This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring the Pokédex in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. The Hoenn region's model did not receive a TCG card, and the Generation I and Generation II Pokédexes, which featured model numbers on the Japanese cards (HANDY505 and HANDY808 respectively), did not show these model numbers on the English card. Every card has allowed the player to look at a certain number of cards from the top of their deck and then either arrange them as they like, or in the case of Pokédex HANDY910is, choose one to put in their hand.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', [[Professor Oak]]'s lecture is about the Pokédex. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: こまったら　ひらいてみよう　ポケモンずかん ''Komattara hiraite miyō, Pokémon zukan.'' "When troubled, let's open the Pokédex."
* Most of the Pokédexes appear similar to one of Nintendo's handhelds. The Johto Pokédex resembles a [[Game Boy Color]], the Hoenn Pokédex appears similar to the [[Game Boy Advance]], the Generation III Kanto Pokédex resembles a [[Game Boy Advance SP]], the Sinnoh Pokédex resembles [[Nintendo DS Lite]], and the Generation IV Johto Pokédex is in similar appearance to a [[Nintendo DSi]]. However, the Generation V Unova Pokédex does not look like the next handheld, the [[Nintendo 3DS]], but rather an {{wp|iPod}}.
* The Pokédex is evidently encased in material that is invulnerable to almost anything within reason. It has been soaked in water and (in the anime) electrocuted and exposed to high-temperature flames, all with no ill effect. It is also voice-sensitive. There are some limitations to its ability; certain circumstances can prevent the Pokédex from accurately identifying its target:
** A Pokédex which has not received a [[National Pokédex|National Mode]] upgrade will not display any information on Pokémon not usually found in its home region, even if those Pokémon have been caught.
** Similarly, {{Gary}}'s Pokédex failed to identify {{an|Mewtwo}} at the [[Viridian Gym]], displaying only static interference. This may be attributed to the mechanical battle armor Mewtwo was wearing at the time.
* All six of Ash's Pokédexes have been red, as were the Pokédexes in the games prior to {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, while other characters have had other colors. May had a yellow one in Kanto, Paul has a dark blue Pokédex, Dawn has a pink Pokédex, [[Rhyanna]] has an ice blue Pokédex, [[Narissa]] has an orange Pokédex and [[Mamie]] has a lavender Pokédex.
* The only Pokédex Ash has never owned is the Pokédex introduced in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* The Kanto regional Pokédex and the Sinnoh regional Pokédex ({{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}) have 151 members, the smallest of all regional Pokédexes. The largest regional Pokédex is the Johto regional Pokédex, with 256 members.
* The Pokédex models of [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} rounded the weights of all Pokémon to full pounds except for {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}, despite the Japanese games' use of tenths of kilograms since the start. From [[Generation III]] onward, all weights have been given to the nearest tenth of a pound.
* The Pokédex lost several buttons with every new model, due to various upgrades: Kanto's first model has twenty-two buttons, Johto's original model has five, Kanto's second model, Hoenn's, and Sinnoh's only have three, and Johto's second model apparently has none whatsoever, solely using the touch-screen interface.
* Numerous toy Pokédexes have been manufactured by companies like {{wp|Tiger Electronics}} and [[Jakks Pacific]].
*In HeartGold and SoulSilver, if the player is Ethan, the icon to display where the player is displays Ethan's hat with yellow sides instead of black.

==Before anyone asks==
Please don't remove what I have hidden. Some of it is speculation (come on, how could she not be a Grass-type Gym Leader with a name like Aloe?) but the rest is just there because it will inevitably need to be added, and this way it can just be unhidden.--[[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]][[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 06:50, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
:Aren't all Gym Leaders in Japan named after names of plants, usually with a pun about which type they train? --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 13:25, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
::True enough. (I actually hadn't really looked at the meanings of the Japanese Gym Leader's names before this, so I learned something new. xD) I still think she's going to be a Grass-type Gym Leader, but I guess we will just have to see.--[[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]][[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 16:16, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

==Natural-born proprietress?==
Maybe my Japanese is rusty, but how does ママ translate to ''proprietress''? --[[User:Ketsuban|Transfinite]] | [[User talk: Ketsuban|Talk]] 05:49, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
:It just... does? And considering Aloe owns the museum, I believe that was the meaning that was intended. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 18:26, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
:I did some searching through some Japanese dictionaries and apparently the definition that refers to a proprietress comes from "madame," if that's what you're asking. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 18:51, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
:: It is only your guess even if it is right. inappropriate. --[[User:Klobis|Klobis]] 02:38, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
:: Uhhh, the Leader title is in English Katakana. It doesn't make sense to translate the 'mama' as a Japanese word. If it was Japanese words for "natural" and "born", it'd make sense... but it's not, so it doesn't. [[User:Lissie|Lissie]] 10:42, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
:::Okay, fine, I give up. You guys can pretend you know anything about translation and completely disregard my experience. I don't even care anymore. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 19:14, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
::::And why are you chiding us? I didn't mean anything personal. I don't know honestly why you translated 'mama' from a phrase in English katakana as a Japanese word to mean 'proprietress' which is why I challenged it. I am not disregarding your experience nor doubting your skills in Japanese, that wasn't my intention, but it seemed like a silly translations, and honestly, it really was. [[User:Lissie|Lissie]] 02:26, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
::::I've lived in Japan for 6 years, and I have to concur that "mama" is not a substitute word for "proprietress", even if occasionally a woman running a restaurant or such might be called "mama" by some of her workers, that is quite obviously not what they were getting at here as they added "natural born" in front of it. She might run the museum but it's not her title. [[User:Sunyshore|Sunyshore]] 02:27, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

==Her Pokémon==

<s>I watched a walktrough, she has the following pokémon:

*Haderia (Female, level 18)
*Miruhog (Female, level 20)

Just those two. Should I add them? [[User:DeadUniverse|DeadUniverse]] [[User talk:DeadUniverse|Hello!]] 18:50, 11 October 2010 (UTC)</s>

Uh, sorry, just noticed the [show] button. [[User:DeadUniverse|DeadUniverse]] [[User talk:DeadUniverse|Hello!]] 18:58, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

== "Mammy" ==

Though Nintendo may not have known it at the time, there is no doubt that Aloe's original designed resembled a [http://www.ferris.edu/jimcrow/mammies/ mammy]. She even refers to herself as "mama," which is the origin of the word mammy. Nintendo changed Jynx's design because it resembled a woman in blackface, so it's not unreasonable to see why they changed Aloe's design. [[User:Fare la Volpe|Fare la Volpe]] 02:13, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
:Yes, but that's kinda speculation [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 02:19, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
:It's not really a change, though; it's just a change in pose. If you look closely, she's still wearing all the same things. It's just in the newer art, her apron's slung over her shoulder instead of her wearing it. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 02:20, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

==African-American==
After seeing that trivia removed (and rightly, as it's extremely debatable), I felt I ought to point out something regarding characters' ethnicity. That being: if it is discussed at all, we should be extremely careful what terminology we use. "African-American" is predicated by there being an Africa or an America by those names in any official material. America we can assume, thanks to Lt. Surge's title, but Africa is far less confirmable. It would be better to discuss skin-tone, although that's less specific and voids pretty much any trivia. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 20:41, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
:Wasn't Africa mentioned in an early PokeDex entry for Mew?[[User:Lego3400|Lego3400]] 02:07, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
