[[File:Whirl Cup poster.png|thumb|250px|A poster for the Whirl Cup]]
The '''Whirl Cup''' (Japanese: '''うずまきカップ''' ''Whirlpool Cup'') is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive tournament between {{type|Water}} [[Type expert|specialists]] held once every three years. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from all over the {{pkmn|world}} come to the [[Whirl Islands]] in the [[Johto]] [[region]] to compete.

Trainers register for the Whirl Cup in [[Inland City]] on [[Blue Point Isle]], but the competition itself is held in [[Scarlet City]] on [[Red Rock Isle]]. The Whirl Cup was featured from ''[[EP215|Octillery The Outcast]]'' to ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''.

==Tradition==
Since ancient times, the Whirl Islands have been home to many different {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and the fierce battles seen during the competition represent the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s' love and appreciation for these Pokémon.

All the islands in the archipelago prepare months in advance for the competition. Celebrations are often held on each island. The Whirl Cup is probably the biggest attraction to the Whirl Islands. A spiral sea shell, either red or blue, is the symbol for the Whirl Cup.

===The legend===
It is said that long ago the '''Sea Heroes''' (Japanese: '''海の勇者''' ''Heroes of the Sea''; also called Water Pokémon Alpha Omega) were expert {{cat|Water-type Trainers}}. They lived under the sea and understood the hearts of aquatic Pokémon. In addition to earning a powerful [[Mystic Water]] pendant, the winning Trainers of the Whirl Cup earn this same prestigious title.

The rituals associated with the competition are considered vital and kept alive to this day. They are taught by {{jo|Maya}}, the Sea Priestess, who wields the [[Sea Spirit|Great Sea Spirit Sapphire]], which supposedly enables communication between Water-type Pokémon and [[human]]s.

===Opening ceremony===
Maya begins the Whirl Cup by evoking the Sea Spirit Union, which brings together the energy from all Water-type Pokémon.

===Closing ceremony===
After six days of battling, Maya presents a Mystic Water pendant to the winning Trainer and declares them a new Sea Hero. The Whirl Cup ends when Maya says the following words: "O, Great Sea Spirit and past Heroes of the Sea, continue to watch over the Whirl Cup competition and safeguard the harmony of all humans and Pokémon alike."

==Competition==
[[File:Whirl Cup Colosseum.png|thumb|250px|The setting for the final rounds]]
The Whirl Cup is divided into two parts: the preliminary rounds and the final rounds, also known as the World Cup Competition.

===Preliminary rounds===
The preliminary rounds weed out inexperienced Trainers; only 64 contestants can progress to the final rounds. In this way, the qualifying rounds are not considered part of the actual competition. The number of preliminary rounds depends on the total number of contestants, and take place in several different small stadiums, on a combination of land and water battlefields.

===Final rounds===
The final rounds are all held in the [[Whirl Cup Colosseum]]. This part of the Whirl Cup consists of six days of continuous battling.

====First round====
The sudden-death opening matches last for two days. Trainers choose one Pokémon each and the winner is decided when the opponent's Pokémon is [[Fainting|unable to battle]].

====Second and third rounds====
The winners of the first round are shuffled and randomly paired for the second round, where each Trainer is allowed to use two Pokémon. The first Trainer to knock out both opposing Pokémon is deemed the winner of the match. 16 Trainers advance to the third round, where the battles continue in a similar fashion as the second round. The victors move on to the semifinals.

====Semifinals and final====
The semifinals of the Whirl Cup are essentially the fourth and fifth rounds. It is unknown how many Pokémon are used in these rounds and the final, although Trainers most likely use three.

Non-player character

2019-09-20T19:09:36Z

Lordfridge: made pronouns neutral

[[File:Lets Go Pikachu Eevee Professor Oak.png|thumb|100px|The first NPC introduced in the Pokémon series, Pallet Town's Professor Oak]]

A '''non-player character''' (commonly abbreviated as '''NPC''') is a character in a {{pkmn|games|Pokémon game}} whose actions cannot be controlled by the person operating the handheld or console. The direct opposite of an NPC is the [[player character]].

==Functions of non-player characters==
Non-player characters are typically present in [[core series]] games to further the progress of the player. Their duties vary. Early in the games they tend to offer advice for new players, similar to the [[Trainer Tips]] signage. Later in the game, as the player is more experienced, this function is less prominent, however at this point there still remain characters who encourage or hint at a visit to a certain area to fulfill a given task.

NPCs also supply the player with free [[item]]s once, or with Pokémon in an [[in-game trade]] or as [[gift Pokémon|gifts]]. Sometimes, these cannot be received in another manner without trading. Several NPCs hand out items on a daily basis, such as the [[Berry Master]]s of [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]].

The final typical variety of non-player characters is of those who compete or battle with the player, including [[villainous teams]], the player's [[rival]](s), [[Gym Leader]]s, and the [[Elite Four]]. This interaction may occur in {{pkmn|Contest}}s or {{pkmn|Musical}}s; or {{pkmn|battle}}s in [[route]]s between cities, [[Gym]]s, the [[Pokémon League]], or [[Battle Tower]]s, for example.

In the [[core series]] games, many non-battling NPCs are typically characterized by their tendency to move one step in a random direction every few moments.

==Important non-player characters==
===Kanto===
{{incomplete|section|needs=More information should be given on Trace from LG:PE}}
* '''[[Professor Oak]]''' - Professor Oak works in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his laboratory]] in [[Pallet Town]], giving away [[starter Pokémon]] to first time Trainers.

He also specializes in [[Pokémon breeding]], and is credited with the discovery of [[Pokémon Egg]]s. Elm gives one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] of Johto—{{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}}—to the player so that {{ga|Ethan|he}} {{ga|Lyra|or}} {{ga|Kris|she}} will have an easier time of getting to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house.

* '''{{ga|Silver}}''' - Silver's first appearance was when he was seen lurking near a window to the Elm Pokémon Laboratory; he later broke in, stealing a Pokémon. He later used this Pokémon to battle Ethan/Kris/Lyra, doing this many times as they journeyed through Johto. This is not the only Pokémon he has stolen, as he also stole a {{p|Sneasel}} from a man in [[Cianwood City]], and uses it in battle for the rest of the game.

* '''[[Eusine]]''' - Eusine appears in {{game|Crystal}} and their enhanced remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. He is first seen researching the [[Burned Tower]], together with [[Morty]]. Later, he battles the {{player}} in [[Cianwood City]] after seeing {{p|Suicune}} escaping from the town, hoping that by battling the player he will earn Suicune's respect as a Trainer. After Suicune has been captured, he returns to his hometown, [[Celadon City]], and can be found in Celadon [[Pokémon Center]] waiting for the player to catch all three [[legendary beasts]].

In addition, after Trainers complete the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn Pokédex]] in {{game|Emerald}}, he will give them one of the three starter Pokémon of [[Johto]]: {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}}. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after various story objectives have been met, he will give the player one of the Johto, [[Unova]] and [[Sinnoh]] starters. He is known to be more outgoing than the other Pokémon Professors, and often his research takes him outdoors. His field of study is primarily how Pokémon behave in the wild.

* '''{{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}''' - {{tt|Brendan/May|depending on the player's gender}} is the original rival in the [[Hoenn]] games. He or she is the son/daughter of Professor Birch, and primarily assists in his research..

* '''[[Wally]]''' - Wally is a sick young boy who asks [[Norman]], the [[Petalburg City|Petalburg]] [[Gym Leader]], to help him catch a Pokémon before he moves to [[Verdanturf Town]] to live with his aunt and uncle. [[Norman]] instructed his child, the {{player}}, to assist Wally, and loaned Wally a {{p|Zigzagoon}}. Using this, Wally was able to capture a {{p|Ralts}}. Wally eventually runs away from home and challenges the player at the end of {{ho|Victory Road}} in [[Ever Grande City]], seemingly totally recovered from his illness. He remains there, and it is possible to fight him several times per day. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} he battles the player once they have achieved a 50 battle streak at the [[Battle Maison Replica|Battle Maison]], and can be battled there every day successively.

* '''[[Scott]]''' - Scott appears throughout {{game|Emerald}} in various locations in [[Hoenn]], where he can be talked to by the player. He appears in [[Petalburg City]] after [[Wally]] catches his first Pokémon, [[Pokémon Trainers' School]], before beating [[Roxanne]], [[Slateport City]] near the [[Battle Tent]], and several other locations. When the player first arrives at the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, Scott will award them with 1[[Battle Point|BP]] for each time they spoke.

* '''[[Mr. Briney]]''' - Mr. Briney is first seen near the [[Rusturf Tunnel]], asking the {{player}} to recover his {{p|Wingull}}, [[Peeko]], from a [[Team Aqua]] or [[Team Magma]] Grunt. Once Peeko is rescued and returned to Mr. Briney, he will offer to give the protagonist rides in his boat to Dewford Town and Slateport City until he/she gains the Badge from [[Norman|his/her father]]. He later becomes the captain of the [[S.S. Tidal]]. His house is located on {{rt|104|Hoenn}}.

* '''[[Mr. Stone]]''' - Mr. Stone is the president of the [[Devon Corporation]], and is the father of [[Steven Stone]]. After recovering the [[Devon Parts|Devon Goods/Parts]] from either a member of [[Team Aqua]] or [[Team Magma]], he gives the main character a [[PokéNav]]{{sup/3|RSE}}/{{DL|PokéNav Plus|BuzzNav}}{{sup/6|ORAS}} and asks them to deliver a [[letter]] to {{Steven}} in [[Dewford Town]]. Once the letter is delivered, he will give the player an [[Exp. Share]]{{sup/3|RSE}}. He assists the player and Steven during the [[Delta Episode]] post-game storyline{{sup/6|ORAS}}.

===Sinnoh===
* '''[[Professor Rowan]]''' - Professor Rowan works in [[Sandgem Town]] with {{ga|Dawn}}/{{ga|Lucas}} and their family. This makes him the only Professor from the handheld games who does not live in the player's hometown. He left to go to [[Kanto]] to study Pokémon with [[Professor Oak]] for four years, until coming back reaching a conclusion: that [[Sinnoh]] holds greater secrets. He has a stern personality that makes him seem intimidating and mean, but he is actually very kind and patient. He also has lots of energy as shown when he was attacked by Team Galactic; he tried to fight back and was hard to handle.

* '''{{ga|Barry}}''' - Barry is always in a hurry and extremely impatient, and because of this, often crashes into other people or misses important details. He is incredibly determined and it is very difficult to discourage him; the only thing that has done this so far was his crushing loss to the [[Team Galactic]] {{tc|Commander}}, [[Jupiter]] at [[Lake Acuity]]. Barry is also one to take risks and quickly jump into action; it was this behavior that caused the player and himself to be attacked by [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Starly}}, setting off the chain reaction that would result in the player receiving his/her first Pokémon.

* '''[[Looker]]''' - Looker is the codename for a character introduced in {{game|Platinum}}. In {{game|Platinum}}, Looker is an important character, encountering the {{player}} multiple times over their journey across [[Sinnoh]]. He speaks with odd grammatical constructs, implying that he is not entirely fluent with the {{pkmn|nation}}al language. He first meets the player in [[Jubilife City]], giving them the [[Vs. Recorder]], and appears often when Team Galactic is near. His motives are clear: his mission is to stop Team Galactic from causing havoc in the Sinnoh region.

* '''{{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}''' - {{tt|Lucas/Dawn|depending on the player's gender}} serves as Professor Rowan's assistant. They will teach the player how to catch Pokémon and help in some parts of the game, such as teaming up with the player against [[Team Galactic]] for Double Battles.

* '''[[Professor Juniper]]''' - Professor Juniper debuted in [[Generation V]], where, like the other professors, she will give the {{player}} a [[Pokédex]] in her lab; however, in {{2v2|Black|White}} she leaves a present containing the [[starter Pokémon]] at the player's house for the player, [[Bianca]], and [[Cheren]]. She also demonstrates how to catch a Pokémon to the player. She specializes in the origins of Pokémon. She is the first core series Pokémon Professor who is female.

* '''[[Bianca]]''' - Bianca is a childhood friend and rival of the {{player}} in {{game|Black and White|s}}. Though she is somewhat unreliable and a bit of an airhead, she also has a strong side, as shown when she embarks on a [[Pokémon journey]] despite her father's strong opposition. In {{game|Black and White|s|Black 2 and White 2|2}}, she presents the player with their [[starter Pokémon]].

* '''[[Cheren]]''' - Cheren is a childhood friend of {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}} who, like the player, lives in the starting town of [[Nuvema Town]]. He is an intelligent boy knowledgeable in Pokémon, and will as such offer the player advice during the course of their journey. His goal is to become the {{pkmn|Champion}}. He is also a [[rival]].

* '''[[N]]''' - N is the leader of [[Team Plasma]] who appears in {{game|Black and White|s}}. Throughout the game, he seems to be a strange, mysterious man who constantly battles the player, until he asks the player to ride [[Nimbasa City#Rondez-View Ferris Wheel|Nimbasa City's Ferris wheel]] with him. At this point, he reveals he is the leader of [[Team Plasma]]. He is encountered twice more before interrupting the player's battle with [[Alder]]. He summons his castle from the earth and challenges the player to battle him. The player chases him through the castle, where the final battle occurs with N having caught either {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}. After his defeat, his guardian [[Ghetsis]] is disappointed once again and battles the player. N then disappears, not to be seen again until {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

* '''[[Hugh]]''' - Hugh is a childhood friend and rival of the {{player}} in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. He is described as feeling passionately for Pokémon battles and Pokémon strength. He is also a doting older brother to his sister; he hates Team Plasma because it stole a {{p|Purrloin}} he had caught for his sister. He battles with and against the player many times throughout the game.

* '''{{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}}''' - {{tt|Nate/Rosa|depending on the player's gender}} appears in Nimbasa City. They will team up with the player to fight against the {{tc|Subway Boss}}es [[Subway Boss Ingo|Ingo]] and [[Subway Boss Emmet|Emmet]]. After defeating them, Nate/Rosa will give the player a [[Vs. Recorder]], and will reappear as the player's tag partner for the [[Battle Subway]]'s Multi and Super Multi battles.

===Kalos===
* '''[[Professor Sycamore]]'''- Professor Sycamore is the resident Pokémon Professor of [[Kalos]]. He does not directly give the player and his friends their Kalos region [[starter Pokémon]], he will give the player a choice of one of the original [[Kanto]] starter Pokémon upon meeting him in person.

Five Island

'''Five Island''' (Japanese: '''５のしま''' ''Island 5''), commonly referred to by fans as '''Chrono Island''' (Japanese: '''ときのしま''' ''Time Island''), is the fifth island in the [[Sevii Islands]] archipelago. It is south of [[Three Island]], and east of [[Four Island]].

On Five Island, much like on the previous islands, is a town, by the name of {{OBP|Five Island|town}}.

It would seem that the island is expanding in population lately, although this has caused the fish population to drop.

East of the port is [[Five Isle Meadow]]. It is a field owned by a local family throughout generations. However, members of [[Team Rocket]] took it over and built a [[Rocket Warehouse]] there. They bully the locals for a while, not knowing that [[Giovanni]] has been defeated already. Once news of his defection from Team Rocket is announced, the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s and {{tc|Executive|Admins}} abandon the warehouse and give up the {{i|Sapphire}} they had stolen.

West of the port is the [[Water Labyrinth]]. If a Trainer is successful in navigating through the many rocks in the water, an old man will give them a [[Pokémon Egg]] containing {{p|Togepi}}.

North of the local town is [[Resort Gorgeous]], owned by Lady [[Selphy]], a rich socialite who likes to go exploring in the [[Lost Cave]]. Selphy invites artists and other high-class people to private parties on the island. If the main character of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} defeats her in the cave, she will ask the main character to show her a certain species of Pokémon. Doing so will garner rewards from the wealthy woman.

Off the coast of Resort Gorgeous is the Lost Cave. Thrill-seekers enter it full of curiosity. Many never leave. The cave is a confusing maze that loops back onto itself.

The very south tip of the island is home to the [[Memorial Pillar]], where a young man has built a gravesite for his deceased {{p|Onix}}, Tectonix. The grave itself appears to be the tail of the Rock Snake Pokémon, emerging from the small islet. The Trainer will be grateful to Trainers who leave offerings of his Onix's favorite beverage—[[Lemonade]].

To reach this island, a person has to have a [[Rainbow Pass]], instead of the ordinary [[Tri-Pass]].

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, Five Island is first mentioned when [[Carr]] broadcasts to Sevii Islands' residents that he would attack the island if {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}} were not handed over to them. Red himself arrives at the island, using [[Poli]]'s {{a|Damp}} to stop one of Carr's {{p|Forretress}} from blowing up the island's [[Pokémon Center]]. Carr is overwhelmed by Red in battle, and reveals the reason why [[Team Rocket]] wanted him, Blue and Green. Red is then attacked by the Five Island townsfolk, with {{adv|Bill}} failing to offer an argument to win them over. After walking away, Red comes face-to-face with {{adv|Deoxys}}, and is ultimately defeated.

Blue, Green, [[Ultima]] and [[Celio]] arrive at Five Island on the [[Seagallop]]. With the help of {{adv|Mewtwo}}, Red eventually regains his spirit, and helps free the Seagallop from the swarm of {{p|Unown}} trapping the ship's propeller, by combining [[Saur]]'s {{m|Frenzy Plant}} with {{TP|Blue|Charizard}}'s {{m|Blast Burn}} and [[Blasty]]'s {{m|Hydro Cannon}} for the first time. While the Seagallop takes the trainers and Mewtwo to their next destination, Bill and Celio stay on the island to set up a refugee camp for the affected residents, and also contact [[Lanette]] and [[Brigette]] for ideas about how Deoxys transforms. After getting a hint that Deoxys's transformations depend on the climate, Bill and Celio raid the Rocket Warehouse on the island, retrieving the {{i|Ruby}} and {{i|Sapphire}} from there. Bill and Celio are still at the refugee camp when they hear about the [[Pokédex holder]]s turning into stone at the end of the chapter.

Kalos Route 13

'''Route 13''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|１３番道路|１３ばんどうろ}}''' ''Route 13'') is a route in northern [[Kalos]], connecting [[Coumarine City]] and [[Lumiose City]], and is the location of the [[Kalos Power Plant]]. The route is also known as '''Lumiose Badlands''' (Japanese: '''ミアレの{{tt|荒野|こうや}}''' ''Miare Badlands'').

In the badlands, [[wild Pokémon]] will appear in the form of dirt mounds that will chase the {{player}} and {{pkmn|battle}} them when near, moving only when the player moves. Using {{cat|Repels}} will not prevent the mounds from following the player, though they will disappear when the player stands in place long enough. There is often also a strong wind that blows in one direction, which affects movement.

The nearby Power Plant apparently produces a [[special magnetic field]] that allows {{p|Magneton}} and {{p|Nosepass}} to [[Evolution|evolve]] when [[level]]ed up in Route 13.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kalos Route 13 anime.png|thumb|250px|Route 13 in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Route 13 first appeared in ''[[XY061|An Oasis of Hope!]]''. There is an oasis in the area, where a {{p|Grumpig}} had been terrorizing a group of {{p|Spoink}} with the help of {{TRT}}. One Spoink escaped and enlisted {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} for help, who managed to stop Team Rocket's plan, with Ash's {{p|Goomy}} [[evolution|evolving]] into {{AP|Sliggoo}} in the process.

The [[Kalos Power Plant]] appeared in ''[[XY062|The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!]]''. Team Rocket took control of the complex and used a machine to hypnotize all the Electric-type Pokémon in the area in to following their commands, including [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Clemont's Dedenne]], and {{an|Clemont}}'s {{p|Luxio}}. It was at this site where Luxio evolved into {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}} and learned {{m|Electric Terrain}}, and where Clemont briefly departed with the rest of the group to go train at the [[Lumiose Gym]] before [[XY067|his Gym battle with Ash]].

[[File:Rival artwork.png|thumb|230px|{{ga|Red}}'s first battle against his rival {{ga|Blue}}]]
A '''rival''' (Japanese: '''ライバル''' ''rival'') is one of the main characters in the [[Pokémon games]] that is well known to the {{player|protagonist}} and has similar skills, goals, and achievements. Rival characters appear frequently during the protagonist's quest, having a role in several of the games' events and often challenges them in {{pkmn|battle}}s. Defeating a rival may be a primary or necessary goal of said character.

==In the games==
===Core series===
[[File:Rivals Masters Trailer.png|thumb|250px|From left to right: Hugh, Silver, and Wally]]
In the [[core series]], a rival is a recurring opponent to the {{player}} throughout the game. This character class appeared beginning in [[Generation I]] and in every main series game since. Typically, rivals will be met by the player early in the game, usually around the time the player receives their [[starter Pokémon]]. In most games, the rival will also obtain a starter Pokémon and will usually participate in the player's first [[Pokémon battle]] against a Trainer. From then on, rivals will appear frequently throughout the player's journey, often being one step ahead of the player as the player moves through the region, meeting and battling the player at various points in the game with a progressively stronger and diversified [[party]]. Usually, they must be defeated in order to continue the game; the most important of these battles happening either right before or during the player's challenge to the [[Elite Four]].

After the defeat of the [[Elite Four]] and the [[Pokémon Champion]], the rival can usually be battled at the player's leisure, but only at certain times with increasingly powerful Pokémon. More often than not, they will have the starter Pokémon of their home region that is strong against the one the player chose at the beginning of the game.

Players are able to choose a different name for Blue, Silver, Barry, Hugh, and Trace. In [[Hoenn]]- and [[Kalos]]-based games, the player character not chosen will serve as a rival.

The following are the characters considered to be rivals in the games. It should be noted, though, that only {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Silver}} have ever received the ''Rival'' {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}; all others have been referred to as ''[[Pokémon Trainer|{{PK}}{{MN}} Trainer]]s'' (Generations III-V) or ''Pokémon Trainers'' (Generation VI onward).

Additionally, in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Blue is referred to as "Champion Blue" during the Champion battle and [[rematch]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], {{ga|Trace}} will also use the "Champion" Trainer class during the Champion battle, but, unlike Blue, does not use it in the rematch.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Ash and Paul.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Paul, his main {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} rival]]
Various rivals for the main characters have also appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

;Ash's rivals
* {{Ash}}'s main rival in the [[original series]] was {{Gary}}. They were close when they were younger, but their friendship ended when they argued over an old {{i|Poké Ball}} and broke it. Eventually, Gary gained some respect for Ash, and after losing to him in the [[Silver Conference]], they became friends again altogether.
[[File:Ash and Gladion.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Gladion, his main {{series|Sun & Moon}} rival]]
* [[Paul]] was Ash's main rival for the duration of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. When they met, Paul despised Ash due to his approach to [[Pokémon training]] and [[friendship]], constantly insulting him every time they crossed paths. However, he eventually grew to respect Ash after losing to him in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].
** {{an|Barry}} was Ash's secondary Sinnoh rival. Unlike Ash's other major rivals, the two have a friendly rivalry, though Barry would frequently comment that he believed he was much stronger than Ash would ever be.
** Ash's minor rivals include [[Nando]] and [[Conway]] who, while they battled Ash more than once across an entire saga, have a smaller role than the other rivals.
* [[Trip]] was Ash's only unfriendly rival in the {{series|Best Wishes}}. The rivalry formed when Trip found out that Ash was from Kanto, a region Trip thinks very little of. Trip believed Ash to be a redneck from the boonies who needed to go back to the basics of Pokémon, causing a heated rivalry. However, they were shown to respect each other to some extent in various episodes. Like with Gary and Paul, the two became friends when Ash beat Trip at the [[Vertress Conference]].
* {{an|Tierno}} was Ash's primary rival for the first part of the {{series|XY}}, with {{an|Trevor}} serving as a minor secondary rival. During the second part of his Kalos journey, however, Ash struck up serious rivalries with [[Alain]] and [[Sawyer]]. Alain wished to test the unique power of Ash and his {{AP|Greninja}}, while Sawyer looked up to Ash and made it his goal to surpass him.
* {{an|Gladion}} is a recurring rival of Ash in the {{series|Sun & Moon}}. Ash and Gladion's rivalry was mutually respectful from the start, with Gladion recognizing Ash's strength almost immediately. Gladion eventually became more dedicated to surpassing Ash after witnessing his and his Pikachu's aptitude for [[Z-Move]]s, leading him to undertake the [[island challenge]]. Though Gladion is much calmer than Ash, he and Ash both share a deep, internal passion for intense battling.
* Ash also has friendly rivalries with [[Ritchie]], {{jo|Harrison}}, [[Morrison]], {{ho|Tyson}}, {{si|Tobias}}, [[Stephan]], {{an|Bianca}}, [[Virgil]], {{un|Cameron}}, {{an|Kiawe}}, and [[Hau]].

;Other characters' rivals
* [[Jessie]] and [[James]] have an unfriendly rivalry with [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]], respectively.
* {{an|May}} has friendly rivalries with [[Drew]] and [[Solidad]], and an unfriendly rivalry with [[Harley]].
[[File:Dawn rivals.png|thumb|370px|Dawn's recurring rivals]]
* {{an|Dawn}} has friendly rivalries with [[Zoey]] and {{si|Kenny}}, and unfriendly rivalries with [[Ursula]] and [[Jessilina]]. She also has [[Nando]] as a minor rival.
* [[Johanna]] had a friendly rivalry with [[Lila]] when they were younger. Lila was the first person to defeat Johanna in a [[Contest Battle]], but she eventually gave up {{pkmn|Coordinator|coordinating}} and became a {{pkmn|Stylist}}.
* {{an|Iris}} has an unfriendly rivalry with [[Georgia]], which comes from the fact that Iris wants to become a [[Type expert|Dragon Master]] while Georgia focuses on defeating {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.
* {{an|Cilan}} has an unfriendly rivalry with [[Burgundy]], which comes from when he defeated her at the [[Striaton Gym]], and also from Cilan's better reputation as a {{pkmn|Connoisseur}}, though Cilan frequently comments on how he looks forward to seeing Burgundy's growth the next time they meet.
* [[Stephan]] engaged in an unfriendly rivalry with [[Montgomery]] during the [[Clubsplosion]].
* {{an|Serena}} has friendly rivalries with {{an|Shauna}}, [[Miette]], [[Nini]], and {{an|Aria}}.
* {{an|Sophocles}} has a rivalry with [[Horacio]]. While they were initially unfriendly, they became more respectful towards each other after an encounter in the [[Vast Poni Canyon]].

===In ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''===
[[Cross]] could be said to be {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}}'s rival in the alternate storyline depicted in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''. In a similar manner to Paul, Cross abandoned his {{AP|Charizard|Charmander}}, deeming it to be too weak, and allowing Ash to catch it. Their relationship could even be said to be antagonistic, with Cross being even more aggressive than Paul. Cross's aggressiveness and thirst for power is derived from an inferiority complex, from being able to see {{p|Ho-Oh}}, but not being chosen as the Rainbow Hero. In the end, despite losing to Ash and his former Charmander, who by that point had evolved into Charizard, he still attempted to steal the [[Rainbow Wing]] in order to battle Ho-Oh and prove himself as the strongest Trainer.

===In Pokémon Origins===
{{OBP|Blue|Origins}} appears as {{OBP|Red|Origins}}'s rival in [[Pokémon Origins]], fulfilling his traditional role in the {{pkmn|games}}.

===In Pokémon Generations===
{{ga|Red}}'s rival {{ga|Blue}} appears in ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', becoming the {{pkmn|Champion|Pokémon League Champion}} shortly before Red challenges him to a battle over the title.

{{ga|Ethan}}'s rival {{ga|Silver}} appears in ''[[PG05|The Legacy]]'', although the two are never shown encountering each other.

* Powerful enemies in the [[Battle Royale]]s of {{g|Rumble}} and {{g|Rumble Blast}}—chosen from Miis—are called rivals as well.
* In every [[generation]], at least one of the player's rivals can be battled at the [[Pokémon League]] and/or [[Victory Road]].
* According to an interview with [[Junichi Masuda]], the rivals have become less antagonistic due to the following reason: ''"I think the biggest reason that rivals were more of a jerk in the early days is that we were just limited in what we could express with the pixel graphics. There's not much that you can do with that kind of little sprite on the screen, so we worked harder to characterize them through dialogue and give them certain personalities. Also, because it's just dialogue and there's not a whole lot going on on the screen, it doesn't give as harsh of an impression even if they're jerks, I think. Now we have HD graphics and the visuals are much more impressive. If you also made him a jerk, the impression would be a lot stronger on players. Another thing, just my own personal take, is that it feels that people with those kinds of personalities these days are just not as accepted by players as they were back then."''<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pokemon-dev-explains-why-your-rivals-arent-jerks-a/1100-6462397/ GameSpot interview about rivals]</ref>

Webster (Johto)

2019-09-20T19:03:15Z

Lordfridge: made pronouns neutral

{{incomplete|2=Mail transcription in HGSS; Kenya's nickname in other languages}}
'''Webster''' (Japanese: '''ユウジ''' ''Yūji''), known as '''Randy''' in [[Generation II]], is a [[non-player character]] in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} as well as their remakes, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. He is a {{tc|Policeman|guard}} posted at the [[gate]] between [[Goldenrod City]] and {{rt|35|Johto}}.

Webster gives the {{player}} his {{p|Spearow}} named '''Kenya''' (Japanese: '''ひきゃく''' ''{{tt|Hikyaku|Courier}}'') holding a [[mail]], and asks them to deliver it to his friend on {{rt|31|Johto}}. As a gesture of thanks, he will give the player an [[HP Up]]. Once the mail has been delivered, Webster's friend will hand out {{TM|50|Nightmare}} in Generation II or {{TM|44|Rest}} in Generation IV. It does not matter which Pokémon is given to Webster's friend, just that the mail is delivered. In Generation II, if the player removes the mail from Kenya, putting it in their [[PC]], then gives the mail to another Pokémon, Webster's friend will take the mail and Pokémon from them. In Generation IV, however, any Pokémon replacing Kenya will be returned to the player. Due to this, a player may keep Kenya for the duration of the game or deliver it after evolving it into {{p|Fearow}} and still receive the [[TM]].

In the game, Webster is recognized as an [[in-game trade]]r. However, Kenya is simply given to the player and no Pokémon is expected in return. Unlike most Pokémon given by NPCs, Kenya has Webster's [[Trainer ID number|ID]] and [[Original Trainer|OT]], possibly because the player was meant to give the Spearow to Webster's friend. Hence, when battling with it, it will act like an {{pkmn2|outsider}} and receive the [[Experience#Experience gain in battle|experience boost]] for traded Pokémon.

==Pokémon==
The following is a list of Webster's known Pokémon:

Larry (Ranger)

Lordfridge: made pronouns neutral

{{samename|anime character with the Japanese name of Larry|Ridley}}
{{incomplete|needs=Image}}
'''Larry''' (Japanese: '''セキネ''' ''Sekine'') is a character from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. He is a resident of [[Ringtown]].

Larry is first encountered soon after {{Ra|Spenser}} brings the {{player}} to [[Ringtown]]'s [[Ranger Base]]. Showing a tendency to panic, he frantically begs Spenser to find a Ranger to capture his "precious" [[Pokémon]], then shows his rude side, insulting the player by calling them a rookie and saying 'a less trustworthy face I've never seen' when Spenser assigns Larry's request to the player as a Rookie Mission. Larry's panic also leaves the player without knowing what kind of Pokémon they are looking for, leaving no choice but to capture every kind in sight until his {{P|Taillow}} appears. Despite everything that happens, Larry is grateful for the service and apologizes for insulting the player.

Later, due to Larry's habit of pouring too much affection onto his Taillow, the Taillow gets into a fight with the {{P|Plusle}} or {{P|Minun}} that followed the player from [[Fall City]]. The ensuing fight introduces the player to [[Poké Assist]]s and then results in Plusle or Minun becoming the player's {{ra|partner Pokémon}}.

The Pokémon Factory

2019-09-20T18:58:18Z

Lordfridge: fixed mistake from my previous edit

'''The Pokémon Factory''', commonly abbreviated to “PF”, is a Pokémon fan website, made in the mid-to-late 90’s, which is focused on the developing and archiving of in-site [[Fake Pokémon|fan-made Pokémon]]. Originally known as “Mewthree and Frogget’s Pokémon Factory”, the site means to serve as an outlet for fan innovations in Pokémon. In the past, The Pokémon Factory has branched out to other areas of typical Pokémon fansite content, such as providing information for the Pokémon games or TCG, but it has since reasserted itself to be purely oriented on its fan-made Pokémon.

==Pokémon Creation==

At The Pokémon Factory, fan-made Pokémon are created and developed for the purpose of eventual appearance on the site’s archives of fan-made Pokémon. Fan-made Pokémon, or “suggestions”, are presented for development and review by other members of the PF community on the PF Suggestions Board area of PF’s forums.

The system typically progresses in that a forum member suggests a fan-made Pokémon or Pokémon evolution on a topic they create specifically for their fan-made Pokémon or evolutionary line, receives feedback and develops the suggestion until it is presentable enough for eventual review by PF’s Staff. If they find no obstacles or issues with the suggestion or its design, a member of the Staff shall then inform the creator on the specific thread that their suggestion is approved for future appearance in PF’s archives, proceeding to close the topic afterward.

The current rules abide new moves to be suggested alongside a new pokémon only, and are limited to two.

MagneRock (TCG)

|types={{e|Lightning}}{{e|Fighting}}
|era=2011
}}
'''MagneRock''' was a semi-popular {{TCG|deck archetype}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] toward the end of the 2010-2011 season. It saw a considerable amount of play in the [[Play! Pokémon#Regional Championships|Regional Championships]] event series, going on to win at least one of them in the Masters age division. The deck's name is derived from its main attacker, [[Magnezone (Triumphant 96)|Magnezone Prime]], and its main support Pokémon, {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Regirock|38}}.

==Strategy==
MagneRock's strategy revolved around using {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Regirock|38}}'s ''Regi Cycle'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}} to power [[Magnezone (Triumphant 96)|Magnezone Prime]]'s ''Lost Burn'' attack. The deck's ideal starter Pokémon was {{TCG ID|Arceus|Spiritomb|32}}, both for its {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainer}}-negating {{TCG|Poké-Body}} and its ''Darkness Grace'' attack, which allowed for quick evolution. Spiritomb or no Spiritomb, MagneRock attempted to get multiple Magnezone Prime in play as fast as possible, along with one or two Regirock and Fighting {{TCG|Energy card|energy}} in the discard. Cards such as {{TCG|Bebe's Search}}, {{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}, and {{TCG|Engineer's Adjustments}} were useful in these regards. From there, the player would simply attach energy from their hand to Magnezone Prime while using ''Regi Cycle'' to recover energy from the discard onto Regirock. Once there was a sufficient amount of energy in play, the deck functioned to take six knock outs in six turns. Magnezone Prime's ''Lost Burn'' was able to one-shot any opposing Pokémon, within reason. {{TCG|Judge}} was useful in the deck since it disrupted the opponent while allowing MagneRock to setup as normal, assuming the MagneRock player could use ''Magnetic Draw'' to draw more cards.

==Key cards==
* '''[[Magnezone (Triumphant 96)|Magnezone Prime]]''' - As the deck's main attacker, Magnezone Prime had the ability to knock out literally any Pokémon with its ''Lost Burn'' attack, depending on the number of energy cards the MagneRock player had in play. It also provided significant drawpower in the form of its ''Magnetic Draw'' Poké-Power, which allowed the player to draw cards until they had six cards in hand. Magnezone Prime possessed a downside in its {{e}}{{e}}{{e}} Retreat Cost, but overall was the most critical card in the deck.
* '''{{TCG ID|Arceus|Spiritomb|32}}''' - Spiritomb was the deck's ideal starting Pokémon, since its ''Keystone Seal'' Poké-Body prevented both players from using {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainer cards}} as long as it was in the active position. While this did somewhat disadvantage MagneRock, it provided a fantastic counter to the Trainer-reliant {{TCG|Pokémon SP}} decks such as {{TCG|LuxChomp}} that dominated the format. Additionally, while hindering the deck's setup in that it disallowed Trainer cards, Spiritomb assisted MagneRock with its ''Darkness Grace'' attack, which, for no energy cost, allowed the player to search their deck for a card to evolve a Benched Pokémon.
* '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Regirock|38}}''' - The other half of MagneRock's namesake, Regirock, provided the means to attach more energy each turn that would typically be permitted. With its ''Regi Cycle'' Poké-Power, Regirock let the player discard two cards from their hand to search the discard pile for a Fighting energy, and attach it to a Pokémon. After discarding an energy with {{TCG|Engineer's Adjustments}}, Regirock could inundate MagneRock's field with energy quickly, making for massive ''Lost Burns''.
* '''{{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}''' - For Spiritomb to function as an effective starting Pokémon, the deck needed some means to get Basic Pokémon on the field for Spiritomb to evolve with ''Darkness Grace''. Pokémon Collector, arguably the deck's most crucial {{TCG|Supporter card}}, simply provided those means.
* '''{{TCG|Engineer's Adjustments}}''' - Unless a given MagneRock list ran {{TCG|Junk Arm}}, Engineer's Adjustments provided the only way (other than a Pokémon with an energy attachment being knocked out) to place an energy card in the discard pile to initially be able to use Regirock's ''Regi Cycle'' Poké-Power. It also provided for fairly strong drawpower, allowing the user to draw four cards.
* '''{{TCG|Broken Time-Space}}''' - Broken Time-Space complemented a Spiritomb-based evolution engine very well. Instead of focusing on {{TCG|Rare Candy}} like many Stage-2 decks, Spiritomb and Broken Time-Space forced a player to evolve including the middle stage, {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Magneton|42}} in this case. However, as a {{TCG|Stadium card}}, Broken Time-Space circumvented Spiritomb's ''Keystone Seal'', and thus allowed a player to evolve into Magnezone Prime easily under Trainer lock. Broken Time-Space also worked well with {{TCG|Rescue Energy}}, since a knocked out Magnezone Prime would return immediately to the player's hand included all its evolution stages. At that point, Broken Time-Space allowed the player to immediately evolve to Magnezone Prime again, losing nothing but any energies attached to it upon initially being knocked out.

==Possible tech cards==
[[File:CrobatGPlatinum47.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Platinum|Crobat G|47}}]]
* '''{{TCG|Junk Arm}}''' - For players who found that Engineer's Adjustments and Regirock's ''Regi Cycle'' did not provide enough means to discard energy from the hand, Junk Arm could provide a powerful way to accomplish that and recover discarded {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainers}}.
* '''{{TCG|Sunyshore City Gym}}''' - At the time of MagneRock's viability, [[Donphan (HeartGold & SoulSilver 107)|Donphan Prime]], {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Machamp|20}}, and a handful of other Fighting-type Pokémon were prevalent at the time. By negating the weaknesses of Lightning-type Pokémon, Sunyshore City Gym rendered Magnezone Prime much less vulnerable to Fighting-type attacks and turned near-autolosses into neutral or even favorable matchups.
* '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Magnezone LV.X|142}}''' - Magnezone LV.X was used primarily to eliminate the type disadvantage against Fighting types. Its function was essentially the same as that of Sunyshore City Gym, but was searchable through Bebe's Search and other cards. Magnezone LV.X also had the ''Electric Trans'' Poké-Power, which was occasionally useful for conserving energy if a Magnezone was about to be knocked out. Generally, though, the card was rarely played.
* '''{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Magnezone|5}}''' - This Magnezone, although generally less useful than the [[Magnezone (Stormfront 6)|other Stormfront Magnezone]], saw occasional play for its ''Magnetic Search'' Poké-Power. Since MagneRock only ran a handful of Lightning energies, which were necessary for Magnezone Prime to attack, the ability to search for one came in handy. Its ''Speed Shot'' and ''Crush Voltage'' attacks, while nothing special, were useful in certain situations.
* '''{{TCG ID|Platinum|Crobat G|47}}''' - {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Garchomp C LV.X|145}} and other popular attackers of the era often had 110HP, and Magnezone Prime's ''Lost Burn'' only hit in multiples of 50. Crobat G's ''Flash Bite'' allowed for ''Lost Burn'' to take knockouts discarding only two energy cards instead of the three that would normally be necessary.
* '''{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Sableye|48}}''' - Some MagneRock players chose to use Sableye over Spiritomb as a starter Pokémon, as Sableye had several notable advantages. While it did not prevent the opponent from player Trainer cards as Spiritomb did, it also did not prevent MagneRock from playing Trainer cards. By letting the MagneRock player go first and giving them access to an instant {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporter}} with its ''Impersonate'' attack, Sableye allowed for a faster, more aggressive setup.
* '''{{TCG ID|Unleashed|Shaymin|8}}''' - Since ''Regi Cycle'' was incapable of attaching to Magnezone Prime, ''Lost Burn'' took two turns of energy attachment to power up under normal circumstances. Shaymin's ''Celebration Wind'' could allow ''Lost Burn'' to be charged up in one turn by moving energy from a benched Regirock to Magnezone Prime, in addition to other benefits.

CurseGar (TCG)

|era=2009-2010
}}
'''CurseGar''' is a competitive {{TCG|deck archetype}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. Although it saw the most play during the 2009-2010 season, after the release of the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus}} expansion, it is still considered a somewhat viable deck. After the {{TCG|rotation}} of {{TCG|Great Encounters}}, and with it {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}}, at the end of the 2009-2010 season, CurseGar saw a massive drop in usage because its main drawpower was no longer legal. Modern variants of the deck use an {{TCG|engine}} based around {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}} and a variety of {{TCG|Supporter card}}s in place of Claydol. The deck's name reflects the Platinum: Arceus {{TCG ID|Arceus|Gengar|16}}'s {{TCG|Pokémon Power|Poké-Power}}, ''Curse'', to distinguish it from {{TCG|Mother Gengar|another archetype}} based around the {{TCG|Stormfront}} {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Gengar|18}}.

==Strategy==
[[File:ClaydolGreatEncounters15.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}}]]
The deck's ideal start is {{TCG ID|Arceus|Spiritomb|32}}, with at least one {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Gastly|62}} and {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Baltoy|60}} on the bench. While slowing the opponent's setup through Spiritomb's ''Keystone Seal'' Poké-Body, which prevents {{TCG|Trainer card}}s from being played, the player uses Spiritomb's ''Darkness Grace'' attack to evolve Baltoy into {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}} and/or Gastly into {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Haunter|40}} and, later, {{TCG ID|Arceus|Gengar|16}}. Generally, the CurseGar player attempts to evolve as much as possible before Spiritomb is knocked out. Claydol, in combination with the deck's line of Supporter cards, is often able to get out multiple Gengar early in the game, even if Spiritomb is knocked out on the first or second turn.

Once Gengar is out on the field and has {{e|Psychic}}{{e|Psychic}}{{e}} attached to it, it can begin attacking with ''Shadow Skip''. While ''Shadow Skip'' hits for an underwhelming 60 damage, it gives the CurseGar player the option to switch Gengar with one of their benched Pokémon. After using ''Shadow Skip'', the ideal choice to swap out with Gengar is another benched Spiritomb. This prevents the opponent from playing Trainer cards during their turn, while at the same time moving Gengar to the safety of the bench so it is not damaged. To retreat Spiritomb on the CurseGar player's turn, he or she will use {{TCG|Moonlight Stadium}} or {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Unown Q|49}}. Essentially, CurseGar keeps up a cycle of doing 60 damage per turn while completely preventing the opponent from both playing Trainer cards and damaging Gengar.

==Key Cards==
[[File:MoonlightStadiumGreatEncounters100.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG|Moonlight Stadium}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Arceus|Gengar|16}}''' - This Gengar is the main attacker in the deck. As previously mentioned, it does 60 damage, plus 10 to one of the opponent's benched Pokémon, for {{e|Psychic}}{{e|Psychic}}{{e}}. ''Shadow Skip''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s effect of moving Gengar to the bench protects it from any deck focusing on damaging the Active Pokémon, while allowing CurseGar to keep the Trainer lock running by bringing Spiritomb active during the opponent's turn.
* '''{{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}}''' - Claydol is the deck's primary draw support. With its ''Cosmic Power'' Poké-Power, which allows the player to put up to two cards from their hand onto the bottom of their deck to draw until they have six cards in their hand, permits continuous hand refreshment. Additionally, it allows CurseGar to run four {{TCG|Judge}} to drop the opponent to four cards, but gives the CurseGar player an out should they draw four ''useless'' cards.
* '''{{TCG ID|Arceus|Spiritomb|32}}''' - Spiritomb, in addition to being the deck's ideal start, is used to absorb damage in place of Gengar while keeping a Trainer lock on the opponent throughout the game.
* '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}''' - Uxie, although not considered a critical part of the deck's success, can be played from the hand to draw cards when Claydol is not available.
* '''{{TCG|Moonlight Stadium}}''' - Moonlight Stadium is used to allow Spiritomb to retreat for free the turn after it was brought active following ''Shadow Skip''. {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Unown Q|49}} serves a similar purpose.
* '''{{TCG|Judge}}''' - Judge provides CurseGar with a disruptive effect. It forces both players to shuffle their hands into their decks and draw new hands of only four cards. While Claydol provides a way for the CurseGar player to recover from a bad Judge, this effect can be crippling for decks that either do not run Claydol or have not yet gotten it out.

''The following cards are often used in CurseGar in place of certain cards included in the above list.''
* '''{{TCG ID|Arceus|Gengar LV.X|97}}''' - In builds less concerned with the 'attack-and-switch' aspect of CurseGar, Gengar LV.X can be used to spread damage with ''Compound Pain'' after ''Shadow Skip''ing damage onto several of the opponent's benched Pokémon. It is a good combination with the Platinum: Arceus {{TCG ID|Arceus|Gengar|16}} and is a common inclusion.
* '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Mewtwo LV.X|144}}''' - Mewtwo LV.X provides a simple way to beat decks based around {{TCG|Pokémon SP}}, common in CurseGar's era, that did not include {{TCG ID|Platinum|Dialga G LV.X|122}}. Mewtwo LV.X fits easily into CurseGar because it utilizes {{TCG|Psychic}}-type {{TCG|Energy card}}s, which are already included in the deck.
* '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Azelf|19}}''' - Although CurseGar runs multiple copies of most cards critical to its strategy, players concerned with having an important card prized may choose to run one Azelf.
* '''{{TCG ID|Platinum|Crobat G|47}}''' - Crobat G simply provides a way for CurseGar to take unexpected knockouts, should an attack be 10 damage short. Its ''Flash Bite'' Poké-Power does 10 damage to one of the opponent's Pokémon. Crobat G is easily searchable through a variety of effects, and generally does not harm the deck's consistency.
:* '''{{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-105 Poké Turn|Poké Turn}}''' - Poké Turn is used exclusively in combination with Crobat G. After Crobat G is dropped from the hand, Poké Turn can scoop it up to either use again or free up a needed bench space.

Metanite (TCG)

|types={{e|Lightning}}{{e|Metal}}{{e|Colorless}}
|era=2006-2007
}}
'''Metanite''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} that utilized the {{TCG|Holon Engine}} to take advantage of the obvious synergy between {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Metagross δ|11}}'s ''Crush and Burn'' attack and {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Dragonite δ|3}}'s ''Delta Charge'' {{TCG|Pokémon Power|Poké-Power}}. The deck saw play almost immediately after the release of Metagross δ, Dragonite δ, and {{TCG|Holon Transceiver}} in the {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} expansion. When it received additional support in the form of {{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Holon's Castform|44}} and others in the {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}} expansion, many competitive players declared it the ultimate deck to beat. It was one of three dominant archetypes to be broken down in the July 2007 issue of [[Beckett Pokémon Unofficial Collector]], the other two being {{TCG|Raieggs}} and a simplistic variant of {{TCG|R-Gon}}. The deck remained extremely popular until {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} {{TCG|Rotation|rotated}} later that year, rendering it unviable.

==Strategy==
[[File:HolonCastformEXHolonPhantoms44.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Holon's Castform|44}}]]
{{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Holon's Castform|44}} is the ideal starter for the deck, giving the player additional drawing ability early in the game. Set up involves bringing cards such as {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Beldum δ|59}}, {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Dratini δ|65}}, and {{TCG ID|EX Dragon Frontiers|Nidoran♀ δ|56}} onto the Bench and evolving them into their final forms as soon as possible. The {{TCG|Holon Engine}} burns through the deck quickly, giving the player all the hand support they need after Holon's Castform is Knocked Out. Once the player has evolved Beldum δ to {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Metagross δ|11}} and one or more Dratini δ into {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Dragonite δ|3}}, the idea is to make Metagross δ the Active Pokémon and begin discarding Energy cards while using Dragonite δ's ''Delta Charge'' Poké-Power to bring them back and continuously deal huge damage with ''Crush and Burn''. If Metagross δ is Knocked Out, a Dragonite δ can be used to finish the job.

==Key Cards==
*'''{{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Metagross δ|11}}''' – Metagross δ was the deck's main attacker. Its ''Crush and Burn'' attack, combined with {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Dragonite δ|3}}'s ''Delta Charge'' {{TCG|Pokémon Power|Poké-Power}} could consistently deal massive damage to opposing Pokémon. Metagross δ's ''Delta Control'' Poké-Power greatly benefited the deck's consistency, as well. It allowed a player to choose one of the top four cards of their deck and add them to their hand. The other three cards were returned to the deck.
*'''{{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Dragonite δ|3}}''' – Dragonite δ's ''Delta Charge'' Poké-Power had perfect synergy with Metagross δ. When Energies were discarded via ''Crush and Burn'', ''Delta Charge'' could simply return them to the field on the player's next turn, allowing for a consistently high damage output.
*'''{{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Holon's Castform|44}}''' – Holon's Castform was the deck's ideal starter Pokémon. For {{e|Colorless}}, its ''Delta Draw'' attack allowed the player to draw one card for each δ Pokémon they had in play. With {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Holon Mentor|93}}, the chances of being able to ''Delta Draw'' several cards early in the game were high. Holon's Castform often allowed Metanite to build up a massive hand by the third or fourth turn, or forced the opponent to expend resources to knock it out early. It was all the more versatile since it could be attached as a {{TCG|Special Energy card}} later in the game, making techs such as [[Latios ☆ (EX Deoxys 106)|Latios]] {{Star}} playable.
*'''{{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Holon Transceiver|98}}''' – Arguably the most important {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the deck, Holon Transceiver ensured that the Metanite player had access to whatever {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporter}} would be most valuable at any given time. Most importantly, Holon Transceiver increased the chances of a player getting Holon Mentor turn one, and being able to ''Delta Draw'' for multiple cards. A more in-depth description of the card's uses can be found in the Holon Engine article.
*'''{{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Rare Candy|90}}''' – Rare Candy has been a critical card in Stage 2-centric decks throughout the game's history. By allowing the player to skip an evolution, they could evolve directly from Dratini δ to Dragonite δ and Beldum δ to Metagross δ, thus greatly increasing the deck's speed and consistency.

==Restriction==
After the {{TCG|2007 World Championships}}, the {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} expansion was restricted from [[Play!

It was a deck that ruled the game for a long time, and banning it helped begin a whole new format.

'''Gardevoir/Gallade''', with more {{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Gardevoir|7}}-centric variations known as '''PLOX''' (short for ''Power Lock'' or ''Psychic Lock''), is considered by many to be the most dominant {{TCG|deck archetype}} of its era. After the release of the {{TCG|Secret Wonders}} expansion, players built on the obvious synergy between Gardevoir and {{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Gallade|6}} to create early variants of the deck, which performed well in [[Play! Pokémon]] tournaments. Dominating the competitive play scene, Gardevoir/Gallade went on to win the {{TCG|2008 World Championships}}, played by two-time World Champion [[Jason Klaczynski]]. His variant, packaged as a [[Theme Deck (TCG)#2008 World Championships|world championships deck]], is known officially as ''{{TCG|Psychic Lock}}''. Later versions of the deck used {{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Weavile|40}} as a means of energy acceleration, although they never performed as well as early versions of Gardevoir/Gallade.

==Strategy==
[[File:RareCandy10POPSeries8.png|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG|Rare Candy}}]]
Gardevoir/Gallade focused on preventing the opponent from using {{TCG|Poké-Power}}s through the use of {{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Gardevoir|7}}'s ''Psychic Lock'' attack and easily knocking out the opponents' heavy attackers with {{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Gallade|6}}'s ''Psychic Cut''. Through the use of ''Telepass'' and ''Cosmic Power'', Gardevoir and {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}}'s respective Poké-Powers, in combination with a variety of searching and drawing {{TCG|Supporter card}}s such as {{TCG|Roseanne's Research}} and {{TCG|Celio's Network}}, Gardevoir/Gallade easily set up.

The deck's remarkable consistency left room for a number of situational cards. This build uses {{TCG ID|Diamond & Pearl|Dusknoir|2}} as a tech against the many archetypes of the time that filled the Bench with important Pokémon. {{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Gardevoir LV.X|131}} was used as a tertiary attacker to clean up heavily damaged Pokémon on the opponent's Bench. Cards such as {{TCG|Battle Frontier}} and {{TCG|Crystal Shard}} were helpful against certain matchups, such as {{TCG|Infercatty}} and {{TCG|Skittles}}, respectively.

==Key Cards==
* '''{{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Gardevoir|7}}''' - Gardevoir was a secondary attacker in more offensive builds and the main attacker in PLOX. Its ''Telepass'' Poké-Power was useful in setting up, allowing the Gardevoir/Gallade player to utilize the effect of an opponent's {{TCG|Supporter card}} in their discard pile. Gardevoir's attack, ''Psychic Lock'', did 60 damage for {{e|Psychic}}{{e}}{{e}} and prevented the opponent from using Poké-Powers during their next turn. In an era where many decks relied on Poké-Powers such as {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}}'s ''Cosmic Power'' to set up, this was a powerful disruption effect that could shut the opponent down early in the game.
* '''{{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Gallade|6}}''' - Gallade had the ability to knock out almost any Pokémon in the game in one shot for only {{e|Psychic}}{{e}}{{e}} with ''Psychic Cut''. It required the player to flip over any amount of their prize cards, and did 60 damage plus 20 more damage for each prize card flipped. This allowed Gallade to hit for up to 180 damage once, 100 damage three times, 80 damage six times, and so on. Against decks that built up one main attacker and attempted to keep it alive, Gallade's ability to OHKO virtually anything was a tremendous threat. In its day, ''Psychic Cut'' was an incredible attack. Gallade also possessed ''Sonic Blade'' which, for {{e|Fighting}}{{e}}, put damage counters on the Defending Pokémon until it was 50 HP away from being knocked out. It also forced the opponent to switch it with one of their Benched Pokémon. ''Sonic Blade'' could set up even the bulkiest of Defending Pokémon for a KO the next turn with ''Psychic Cut'' or {{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Gardevoir LV.X|131}}'s ''Bring Down''.
* '''{{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}}''' - While Gardevoir's ''Telepass'' could utilize searching Supporter cards in the opponent's discard pile, Claydol provided Gardevoir/Gallade's main drawpower. Claydol's ''Cosmic Power'' simply sped up the deck's ability to get an attacker up and running.
[[File:DoubleRainbowEnergyEXTeamMagmavsTeamAqua88.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG|Double Rainbow Energy}}]]

* '''{{TCG|Rare Candy}}''' - Since Gardevoir and Gallade were both Stage 2 evolved Pokémon, Rare Candy's ability to skip the {{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Kirlia|53}} stage of evolution was an important asset to Gardevoir/Gallade's quick setup.
* '''{{TCG|Windstorm}}''' - Three Windstorm were critical to the deck to counter {{TCG|Cessation Crystal}}, which nullified both ''Telepass'' and ''Cosmic Power'', and, most importantly, {{TCG|Crystal Beach}}. Crystal Beach was considered by many to be the most powerful card against Gardevoir/Gallade. It made all [[List of Special Energy cards|Special Energies]] that provided two or more units of Energy now provide only {{e}}. Since Gardevoir/Gallade essentially relied on {{TCG|Double Rainbow Energy}} and {{TCG|Scramble Energy}} to satisfy the energy costs of its attackers, Crystal Beach ripped apart its strategy. Windstorm's ability to discard Crystal Beach was absolutely vital.
* '''{{TCG|Double Rainbow Energy}}''' - Double Rainbow Energy was the card most often used to power Gardevoir and Gallade's respective attacks. Although it slightly decreased the amount of damage the Pokémon could do, the ability to essentially have two energy attachments in a single turn allowed the deck to begin attacking significantly faster and recover from knocked out attackers quickly.
* '''{{TCG|Scramble Energy}}''' - Scramble Energy served essentially as a more powerful Double Rainbow Energy, but functioned only when the Gardevoir/Gallade player was behind in prizes. Scramble Energy assured that the deck was never down, allowing a Gallade's ''Psychic Cut'' to be fully powered up with only one energy attachment.

==Possible Tech Cards==
[[File:WeavileSecretWonders40.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Weavile|40}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Jirachi ex|94}}''' - Jirachi ex was generally used in variants that focused more on locking the opponent's Poké-Powers than taking prizes quickly. Jirachi ex's ''Shield Beam'' attack, which cost only {{e|Psychic}} when the opponent had any Stage-2 evolved Pokémon or {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}} in play, did 30 damage and prevented the opponent from using any Poké-Powers during their next turn. Jirachi ex was essentially a faster but less powerful version of {{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Gardevoir|7}} to be used when the latter was not available.
* '''[[Jolteon ☆ (EX Power Keepers 101)|Jolteon]]''' {{Star}} - Although it was not an especially common tech card, [[Jason Klaczynski]] used Jolteon {{Star}} in Gardevoir/Gallade to help the deck knock out Pokémon with an odd-number of HP in one shot. Since {{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Gallade|6}}'s ''Psychic Cut'' attack did damage in multiples of 20, it needed to flip over three prize cards to knock out a Defending Pokémon with 120 HP, but four to knock out a Pokémon with 130 HP. Jolteon {{Star}}'s ''Yellow Ray'' Poké-Power allowed Gallade to knock out Pokémon with odd HP by flipping over one less prize.
* '''{{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Chatot|55}}''' - Chatot was used as a hand refresher and free retreater. Chatot's ''Mimic'' attack allowed the Gardevoir/Gallade player to shuffle their hand into her deck and draw the same number of cards. ''Mimic'', in combination with its free retreat, made Chatot a fantastic remedy to a poor starting hand.
* '''{{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Weavile|40}}''' - After the rotation of {{TCG|Double Rainbow Energy}} and {{TCG|Scramble Energy}}, Gardevoir/Gallade suffered from a lack of energy acceleration and faded from the public eye. However, players began to combo the deck's main attackers with Weavile, [[Darkness Energy (Special)|Special Darkness Energies]], and a newer line of {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainers}}, {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporters}}, and {{TCG|Stadium card|Stadiums}}. Weavile's ''Shadow Charge'' attack allowed for faster energy attachment to Gardevoir and Gallade, and its ''Dark Engage'' Poké-Power allowed attackers to do more damage when they had Special Darkness Energies attached. Weavile was not so much a tech card as the revival of Gardevoir/Gallade.

CroByss (TCG)

|types={{e|Water}}{{e|Grass}}{{e|Colorless}}
|era=2004
}}
'''CroByss''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} that saw success toward the end of the 2003-2004 season, after the release of {{TCG|EX Hidden Legends}} in June 2004. Its name is a blend of {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Crobat|3}} and {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Gorebyss|18}}, the deck's two main attackers. CroByss was one of several popular deck archetypes of the era to include Gorebyss, the others being {{TCG|MetaByss}}; {{TCG|Jumpluff/Gorebyss}}; and a number of decks focusing on {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon|Stage 1}} attackers. The deck took first place at the South Stadium Challenge in {{wp|Arlington, Texas}} in July, 2004, and had at least one Top 32 finish at the {{TCG|2004 World Championships}}. CroByss functions as a disruptive deck, using a combination of Crobat and Gorebyss' attacks to alternately damage and stall the opponent while restricting their hand size with {{TCG|Desert Shaman}}.

==Strategy==
The synergy between {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Crobat|3}} and {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Gorebyss|18}} was admittedly limited, but they complimented each other in that they were non-{{TCG|Pokémon-ex|ex}} Pokémon that were capable of attacking for only one or two {{TCG|Energy card|Energy}}. Crobat's ''Flutter Trick'' attack combined well with the disruption caused by {{TCG|Desert Shaman}}. Desert Shaman could also make it difficult for an opponent to find the resources necessary to get a {{TCG|Poison|Poisoned}} Pokémon out of the active position, increasing the effectiveness of Crobat's second attack, ''Triple Poison''. Gorebyss provided another inexpensive attacker, and one that was particularly effective against {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Blaziken ex|89}}-based decks (widely considered to be the strongest attacker of the era).

==Key cards==
[[File:DesertShamanSkyridge123.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG|Desert Shaman}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Crobat|3}}''' - Crobat was one of the deck's two primary attackers, capable of attacking for only one or two Energy.
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Gorebyss|18}}''' - Gorebyss served as the deck's other primary attacker, and served as a hard counter to {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Blaziken ex|89}}.
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Dunsparce|60}}''' - Dunsparce was the deck's ideal starter Pokémon. With its ''Strike and Run'' attack, Dunsparce could instantly give the player a strong setup; most decks of the time relied on Dunsparce early in the game.
* '''{{TCG|Desert Shaman}}''' - Desert Shaman provided a means for CroByss to downsize the opponent's hand, which was particularly effective in combination with either of Crobat's attacks. Because CroByss was a quick deck that often set up before its opponent, a Desert Shaman early in the game was typically much more disastrous for an opponent than for the Crobyss player.
* '''{{TCG|Double Rainbow Energy}}''' - Double Rainbow Energy provided a way to power up either Crobat's ''Triple Poison'' or Gorebyss's ''Mystic Water'' in only one turn.

''The following cards were occasionally used in CroByss in place of certain cards included in the above list.''
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Jirachi|8}}''' - Because CroByss relied so heavily on [[Evolution#In the TCG|Evolutions]], Jirachi could serve as a viable alternative or partner to {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Dunsparce|60}}.
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Igglybuff|37}}''' - Igglybuff served a similar purpose, but with the option of retrieving an {{TCG|Energy card}}. Given CroByss's reliance on a variety of different Energy types, this could prove useful.
* '''{{TCG ID|Skyridge|Ditto|51}}''' - Ditto served a number of purposes. Its ''Prismatic Body'' {{TCG|Poké-BODY}} allowed Water Energy and Grass Energy to count as Psychic Energy when applied to the damage output of Gorebyss's ''Mystic Water'' attack. Ditto also served as a powerful attacker in some matchups, hitting {{TCG ID|EX Dragon|Rayquaza ex|97}} (one of the most popular attackers of the era) for Weakness and being able to effectively copy the attack of opposing Gorebyss.
* '''{{TCG|Ancient Tomb}}''' - In areas where the metagame included many {{TCG|Lightning|Lightning-type}} and/or {{TCG|Psychic|Psychic-type}} Pokémon, a CroByss player may want to include Ancient Tomb to negate the weaknesses of Gorebyss and Crobat, respectively.
* '''[[Ancient Technical Machine (EX Hidden Legends 85)|Ancient Technical Machine [Rock]]]''' - Ancient Technical Machine [Rock] was useful against {{TCG|Evolution card|Evolution}}-based decks, particularly those that relied heavily on {{TCG|Rare Candy}}.

}}
'''Forretress Donk''' is a {{TCG|deck archetype}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] using {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Forretress|28}}. It uses the {{tcg|Unlimited format}}.

==History==
A less consistent version of this deck was played during the Diamond Pearl era using {{TCG|Secret Wonders}} {{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Blastoise|2}}. Its ''Waterlog'' Poké-Power provided the Energy attachment for {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Forretress|28}}. This older version lacked the unlimited Energy attachment, required more Energy cards, and lacked the unlimited healing ability of Forretress Donk. The release of {{TCG ID|Black & White|Emboar|20}} allowed the creation of Forretress Donk. {{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Blastoise|31}} of {{TCG|Boundaries Crossed}} and {{TCG ID|BREAKthrough|Magnezone|54}} of {{TCG|BREAKthrough}} provide alternate Energy attachment.

==Strategy==
[[File:ShuckleHGSSPromo15.jpg|thumb|right|{{TCG ID|HGSS Promo|Shuckle|15}}]]

Forretress Donk is designed to win on the very first turn of the game (a Donk City); capable of taking all prize cards or Knocking-Out all of the opponent's Pokémon on the first turn.

The ideal start would be Sableye; its ''Overearger'' Poké-Body allows the player to go first. Using the various Trainer cards, the player would want to set up a Blastoise (the player may use Emboar or Magnezone instead), Espeon, and Shuckle.

The deck utilizes a draw engine that allows the player to draw all cards of their deck with a single Energy card. The Abilities of {{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Blastoise|31}}, {{TCG ID|Black & White|Emboar|20}}, or {{TCG ID|BREAKthrough|Magnezone|54}} allow the player to attach, as often as they like, Energy cards of the respective type. The Energy is attached to {{TCG ID|HGSS Promo|Shuckle|15}}; its ''Fermenting Liquid'' Poké-Body lets the player draw a card every time an Energy card is attached to it. {{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Espeon|H9}}'s ''Energy Return'' Poké-Power allows the player to return those Energy cards to the hand. This establishes an infinite loop of drawing with Shuckle.

After drawing the needed cards, the next step would be to get out {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Forretress|28}} and {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Leafeon|45}}. The Energy would be attached to Forretress instead of Shuckle. Forretress's ''Iron Shell'' Poké-Body has the player flip a coin every time an Energy card is attached to it; tails places 2 damage counters on all Pokémon (excluding any Forretress). The damage to Blastoise, Espeon, and Leafeon can be continuously healed with Leafeon's Poké-Body.

==Key cards==
*'''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Forretress|28}}''' - Its ''Iron Shell'' Poké-Body is activated when the player attaches an Energy card to it. The player flips a coin, if it is tails place 2 damage counters on all Pokémon (excluding any Forretress).
*'''{{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Blastoise|31}}''' - Its ''Deluge'' Ability lets the play attach Water Energy Cards as often as they like during their turn.
*'''{{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Espeon|H9}}''' - Its Poké-Power is used to return Energy cards attached to Shuckle, Forretress, and Leafeon; allowing an infinite loop of each one's Poké-Body.
*'''{{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Eevee|11}}''' - This is the best Eevee to use. It's Pokémon Power ''Chain Reaction'' forces the Eevee to evolve from the deck when the player evolves one of the other Pokémon. This effectively allows the player to use search resources in other Pokémon.
*'''{{TCG ID|HGSS Promo|Shuckle|15}}''' - Primary draw power of the deck. By attachment of Energy to Shuckle, the player will be able to draw their whole deck and have all resources available (note: you only lose if you cannot draw at the ''beginning'' of your turn).
*'''{{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Leafeon|45}}''' - When it is the Active Pokémon, it's ''Energy Refresh'' Poké-Body allows the healing of all of the player's Pokémon when an Energy card is attached to Leafeon.
*'''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}''' - It's ''Set Up'' Poké-Power allows the player to draw cards until they have seven cards in their hand.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Professor Oak|88}}''' - Essentially a souped-up ''Set Up''.
*'''{{TCG ID|Platinum|Broken Time-Space|104}}''' - Allows the player to evolve Pokémon on the same turn they are played; this also allows evolution on the first turn.

==Variable tech cards==
These are cards that may or may not be in the deck build depending on the player's style:
*'''{{TCG ID|Roaring Skies|Healing Scarf|84}}''' - An alternative healing method to Leafeon.
*'''{{TCG ID|Fossil|Mr. Fuji|58}}''' - Allows the player to shuffle a Benched Pokémon into the deck. This is useful for making more room on the Bench.
*'''{{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Swoop! Teleporter|92}}''' - Switches a Basic Pokémon in play with a Basic Pokémon in the deck.

==Restriction==
Forretress Donk uses the Unlimited Format; therefore, it is not tournament legal. It is played at home, in unsanctioned tournaments, and at leagues where permitted.

Lordfridge: made pronouns neutral

'''The Pokémon Factory''', commonly abbreviated to “PF”, is a Pokémon fan website, made in the mid-to-late 90’s, which is focused on the developing and archiving of in-site [[Fake Pokémon|fan-made Pokémon]]. Originally known as “Mewthree and Frogget’s Pokémon Factory”, the site means to serve as an outlet for fan innovations in Pokémon. In the past, The Pokémon Factory has branched out to other areas of typical Pokémon fansite content, such as providing information for the Pokémon games or TCG, but it has since reasserted itself to be purely oriented on its fan-made Pokémon.

==Pokémon Creation==

At The Pokémon Factory, fan-made Pokémon are created and developed for the purpose of eventual appearance on the site’s archives of fan-made Pokémon. Fan-made Pokémon, or “suggestions”, are presented for development and review by other members of the PF community on the PF Suggestions Board area of PF’s forums.

The system typically progresses in that a forum member suggests a fan-made Pokémon or Pokémon evolution on a topic they create specifically for his or her fan-made Pokémon or evolutionary line, receives feedback and develops his or her suggestion until it is presentable enough for eventual review by PF’s Staff. If they find no obstacles or issues with the suggestion or its design, a member of the Staff shall then inform the creator on the specific thread that their suggestion is approved for future appearance in PF’s archives, proceeding to close the topic afterward.

The current rules abide new moves to be suggested alongside a new pokémon only, and are limited to two.

'''Dr. Mason''' (Japanese: '''Ｄｒ．オーヤマ''' ''Dr. Ōyama'') is a Pokémon card researcher. He resides in [[Mason Laboratory]], where he teaches people how to play the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and coaches practice duels. He was named and modeled after Pokémon Trading Card Game creator [[Kouichi Ooyama]].

==In the games==
===In Pokémon Trading Card Game===
In {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, Dr. Mason leads the player through a practice duel against [[Tech Sam]] and afterwards gives the player a choice of three decks to start off with. They are the {{TCG|Charmander & Friends Deck}}, {{TCG|Squirtle & Friends Deck}}, and {{TCG|Bulbasaur & Friends Deck}}. He also gives the player 30 additional cards, which are decided by which deck the player picked.

Through the course of the game, Dr. Mason sends 15 Mails that can be accessed on the [[PC]]. 12 of which are about each of the [[Club Master|Club Masters]] and later the [[Grand Master|Grand Masters]], with advice to defeat them; and 3 of which contain more hints about other matters. All Mails come with one or more {{TCG|booster pack|booster packs}}.

===In Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!===
In [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]], he gives the player the {{OBP|Starter Deck|GB2}} as their first deck. In both games, he builds a [[Challenge Machine]] for card duels after the player finishes the game.

===Quotes===
====Pokémon Trading Card Game====
=====Introduction=====
;[[Mason Laboratory]]
:''"Oh! Why the rush, <player>? What? You want to learn how to play the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]? So you, too, finally want to start playing the card game. Well, dueling is more fun than just collecting cards! First, you should try playing with a practice deck. Here, I'll give you this deck. And now you need an opponent... Hey, [[Tech Sam|Sam]]! Play with him for a while!"''
:''"OK! Let's give it a try!"''
:''"Hey! <player>! Hurry and come here!"''
:''"First, ask Sam the basics of the game."''
:''"They say actions speak louder than words, so let's play a game. Since this is your first time, just try to learn the basic steps. I'll be coaching you, so follow my advice. If you don't do as I say, we won't be able to proceed. It might be easier if you read the Pokémon Trading Card Game instruction booklet while we play. OK then, let's start your practice game!"''

=====Practice duel=====
;[[Mason Laboratory]]
:''"Draw 7 cards, and get ready for the battle! Choose your {{TCG|Active Pokémon}}. You can only choose {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} as your Active Pokémon, so you can choose either {{p|Goldeen}} or {{p|Staryu}}. For our practice duel, choose Goldeen."''
:''"Next, put your Pokémon on your {{TCG|Bench}}. You can switch Benched Pokémon with your Active Pokémon. Again, only Basic Pokémon can be placed on your Bench. Choose Staryu from your hand and put it there."''
:''"When you have no Pokémon to put on your Bench, press the B button to finish."''
:''"To use the Attack command, you need to attach {{TCG|Energy card}}s to your Pokémon. Choose cards from the menu, and select a {{TCG|Water}} Energy card. Next, choose your Active Pokémon, Goldeen, and press the A button. Then, the Water Energy card will be attached to Goldeen. Finally, {{TCG|attack}} your opponent by selecting an attack command. Choose Attack from the menu, and select {{m|Horn Attack}}. Now, let's play the game!"''
:''"Your Goldeen's gonna get knocked out. Let's evolve it! Choose {{p|Seaking}} from your hand and attach it to Goldeen to evolve it. Its HP increases from 40 to 70. Your Seaking doesn't have enough Energy to use {{m|Waterfall}}. You need to attach a {{TCG|Psychic}} Energy card to Seaking. {{e|Colorless}} means any Energy card. Now you can use Waterfall. Keep the Water Energy for other Pokémon. Now let's attack your opponent with Seaking's Waterfall! Now, let's play the game!"''
:''"Seaking's got enough Energy, so you don't need to attach any more. Attach Energy cards to your Benched Pokémon to get them ready for battle. Attach a Water Energy card to your Benched Staryu. Next, select the Attack command. {{p|Machop}} has 10 HP left. Seaking's Horn Attack will be enough to knock out Machop. Now, choose Seaking's Horn Attack. Now Machop's HP is 0 and it is knocked out. When you knock out the defending Pokémon, you can pick up a prize. Now, let's play the game!"''
:''"When all your Pokémon are knocked out and there are no Pokémon on your Bench, you lose the game. Put {{p|Drowzee}}, the Basic Pokémon you just drew, on your Bench. Attach a Water Energy card to Drowzee to get it ready to attack. Choose your Active Seaking and attack your opponent with Waterfall. Now, let's play the game!"''
:''"Choose a Benched Pokémon to replace your knocked out Pokémon. You now have Drowzee and Staryu on your Bench. Choose Staryu as the Active Pokémon for this practice duel. Here, press Select to check Pokémon data. It is important to know your cards and the status of your Pokémon. Now, let's play the game!"''
:''"Staryu evolves into {{p|Starmie}}! Let's get Staryu ready to use Starmie's Attack command when it evolves into Statmie. Choose the Water Energy card from your hand and attach it to Staryu. Attack your opponent with Staryu's Slap. Now, let's play the game!"''
:''"Now, recover Staryu with a {{TCG|Trainer card}}. Choose [[Potion]] from your hand. Now let's get ready to evolve it to Starmie. Also, attach a Water Energy card to Staryu. Attack your opponent with Staryu's Slap to end your turn. Now, let's play the game!"''
:''"Now you have finally drawn a Starmie card! Choose Starmie from your hand and use it to evolve Staryu. You've already attached enough Energy to use Star Freeze. Attack your opponent with Starmie's Star Freeze. Now, let's play the game!"''
:''"Now Machop has only 10 HP left. Let's finish the battle! Attack with Starmie's Star Freeze. You've knocked out your opponent! Pick up the last prize. <player> is the winner! Now, let's play the game!"''
:*Not following instruction
::(choosing between Pokémon cards) ''"Choose <card> for this practice, OK?"''
::(other times) ''"This is practice mode, so please follow my guidance. Do it again."''
:*After resetting turn
::''"{{tt|Do you need to practice again|"Yes" - repeats instructions for the turn. "No" - repeats "Now, let's play the game!"}}?"''
:''"Basically, this is how the Pokémon Trading Card Game is played: it's a game in which you try to knock out as many of your opponent's Pokémon as there are prizes. That's the gist of it... If you don't understand something, talk to Sam. It might be helpful to practice again, too. This time was just practice, so I had you follow everything I said, but there are other styles of play. So try them out by choosing Normal Duel."''
:''"Now then, let's build your deck. Did you bring your cards?"''
:''"Hmm... Let me add some of my own cards to yours! Now, <player>, what kind of deck do you want?"''
:''"OK, a <deck name>! Here are the remaining cards!"''
:''"You should duel with many different people. Why don't you go to one of the Card Clubs. There are many people playing at the Clubs. Collect new cards and try building a new deck!"''
*If spoken to again
:''"Gathering information is important if you wish to inherit the legendary Pokémon cards! Listen to what people have to say and read the books on the bookshelves. If I have any information, I'll send you an E-mail, so check the PC every so often to read your mail!"''

=====Other quotes=====
;[[Mason Laboratory]]
* Before finishing the game
:''"First, learning how to use your deck is very important. Duel against many people to check your deck's performance. The [[Auto Deck Machine|Auto Deck Machines]] are handy when you want to rebuild your deck, if you have the required cards. It will automatically build a deck for you. Collect new cards to build new decks!"''
* After finishing the game
:''"Congratulations, <player name>! I hear you have inherited the Legendary Pokémon cards! The strength of a deck does not depend on any single card, but on how skillfully you are able to use that card. The power of the Legendary Pokémon cards depends on you! You must become a skilled Card Master!"''
* If spoken to again (repeats indefinitely)
:''"That's right! Did you try the Challenge Machine I built? See how far you can get with 1 deck! Computer opponent data is based on opponents you have already played against. I hope you enjoy the product of my scientific genius!!''

=====Mail=====
:''"<Player name>, it's me, Doctor Mason. Are you getting the hang of the Pokémon Trading Card Game? I have some information for you about {{TCG|Booster pack|booster packs}}. If you want to collect the same cards, duel the same person many times to get a particular booster pack! By doing so, you will be able to collect the same cards, making it easier for you to build your deck. Another method for collecting cards is to use [[Card Pop!]] When you and a friend use Card Pop! you will each receive a new card! Once you Pop! with a certain friend, you won't be able to Pop! with that friend again, so find many friends who own the Pokémon Trading Card Game for [[Game Boy]] and Card Pop! with them to get new cards! Oh, here's something for you... <gives a {{GB|1|Colosseum}} booster pack> I'll be sending you useful information by e-mail. I'll also attach a booster pack for you, so check your mail often. Mason Laboratory Doctor Mason ;)"''
:''"<Player name>, it's me, Doctor Mason. It looks like you've won quite a few medals. Want to try building your own deck? Start by changing some of the cards in your present deck. Keep changing a few cards at a time, and eventually you'll have your own unique deck! It's not that difficult. Give it a try! Mason Laboratory Doctor Mason ;) P.S. Here's a deal - this time, you get 2 booster packs! <gives a {{GB|1|Colosseum}} and an {{GB|1|Evolution}} booster packs>"''
:''"Did you try building your own deck? This time, I'll give you tips on the {{TCG|type|types}} and number of cards you should include in your deck. If you have 3 of a Basic Pokémon card, you'll want 2 of its Stage 1 and 1 of its Stage 2 Pokémon. If you follow this rule, your deck will be well balanced. You should have about 14 Basic Pokémon and anywhere between 20 and 26 Energy cards in your deck. The type of Energy cards will depend on the type of Pokémon you have in your deck. You might want to look at the decks in the Deck Machine for hints. Mason Laboratory Dr. Mason ;) P.S. This time, I'm sending 2 booster packs again! <gives a {{GB|1|Mystery}} and a {{GB|1|Laboratory}} booster packs>"''
:''"<Player name>, it's me, Doctor Mason. Have you won many Master Medals? I have some information for you about [[Club Master Nikki|Nikki]]'s deck - she's the [[Club Master|Master]] of the [[Grass Club]]. You must be wary of [[Exeggutor (Jungle 35)|Exeggutor's Big Eggsplosion]] wiki Nikki's deck. Use your {{TCG|Fire}} Pokémon to knock out {{p|Exeggcute}} and {{p|Exeggutor}} at an early stage! I suggest you study the deck from the {{DL|Master Medal|Fire Medal}} [[Auto Deck Machine|Deck Machine]]. I'll give you a booster pack that should contain a lot of Fire Pokémon. <gives a {{GB|1|Colosseum}} booster pack> Did it have a lot of Fire Pokémon (the weakness of {{TCG|Grass}} Pokémon)? Mason Laboratory Doctor Mason ;)"''
:''"It's me, Dr. Mason. How are you doing, <player name>? I have some information for you about [[Club Master Rick|Rick]]'s Deck - he's the maste rof the [[Science Club]]. His deck uses [[Muk (Fossil 13)|Muk's Toxic Gas]] to prevent your Pokémon from using [[Pokémon Power]]! Avoid using a deck that relies on Pokémon Power to attack. His deck's weakness is {{TCG|Psychic}} Pokémon! Collect Psychic Pokémon to duel his deck! I suggest you study the deck from the {{DL|Master Medal|Psychic Medal}} Deck Machine. Hopefully, it will be of some assistance... <gives a {{GB|1|Laboratory}} booster pack> Win all 8 [[Master Medal|Master Medals]], <player name>! Mason Laboratory Doctor Mason ;)"
:''"It's me, Dr. Mason. have you collected many cards? I have some information about [[Club Master Ken|Ken]]'s deck - he's the master of the Fire Club. His deck consists of {{TCG|Fire}} Pokémon and {{TCG|Colorless}} Pokémon! Pit a {{TCG|Water}} Pokémon against the Fire Pokémon and a {{TCG|Fighting}} Pokémon against the Colorless Pokémon. Study the decks from the Water and Fighting Medal Deck Machines! Here's a gift for you! It's a Mystery booster pack! <gives a {{GB|1|Mystery}} booster pack> Look closely at the cards you just received. You should be able to come up with a winning strategy! Mason Laboratory Doctor Mason ;)"''
:''"<Player name>, it's me, Doctor Mason. I have some information for you about [[Club Master Amy|Amy]]'s deck - she's the Master of the [[Water Club]]. Her deck uses {{m|Rain Dance}} - [[Blastoise (Base Set 2)|Blastoise]]'s [[Pokémon Power]]. This deck allows her to keep attaching {{TCG|Water Energy}} to her {{TCG|Water}} Pokémon to power them up. Her deck's weakness is {{TCG|Lightning}} Pokémon! I suggest you duel her using the deck from the {{DL|Master Medal|Psychic Medal}} Deck Machine. Here's a booster pack for you. <gives a {{GB|1|Mystery}} booster pack> <Player name>! Keep at it, and don't give up! Mason Laboratory Doctor Mason ;)"''
:''"How it's going, <player name>? It's me, Doctor Mason. I have some information for you about [[Club Master Isaac|Isaac]]'s Deck - he's the Master of the [[Lightning Club]]. His deck is a {{TCG|Zapping Selfdestruct Deck|Selfdestruct Deck}}! He uses {{m|Selfdestruct}} for maximum damage! Watch the number of {{TCG|Energy card|Energy cards}} on his Pokémon and look out for Selfdestruct. I would suggest using {{TCG|Fighting}} Pokémon such as {{TCG|Cubone}} and {{TCG|Rhyhorn}} to counter Isaac's Deck. The {{TCG|Bone Attack Deck|Cubone & Marowak Deck}} from the Rock Medal Deck Machine is probably your best bet. I hope you find many Fighting Pokémon in this booster pack! <gives an {{GB|1|Evolution}} booster pack> Did you find the Pokémon you were looking for in the booster pack? Mason Laboratory Doctor Mason ;)"''
:''"<Player name>, it's me, Doctor Mason. Are you getting any closer to inheriting the [[Legendary Cards|Legendary Pokémon Cards]]? [[Club Master Murray|Murray]] of the [[Psychic Club]] - I have some information on his deck! It seems to be a deck that uses [[Alakazam (Base Set 1)|Alakazam's Damage Swap]]! It will be difficult to defeat his deck of {{TCG|Psychic}} Pokémon. Psychic Pokémon are tricky since their weakness is Psychic Pokémon! Try to defeat him before his Pokémon evolves into Alakazam. Murray is a tough opponent... Here, take this! <gives a {{GB|1|Laboratory}} booster pack> Fight to the end, <player name>, and don't give up! Mason Laboratory Doctor Mason ;)"''

'''LuxApe''' is a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} that focuses on switching the opponent's Defending Pokémon and type-trumping it. It was originally used to counter {{TCG ID|Platinum|Dialga G|7}} and {{TCG ID|Platinum|Palkia G|12}} variants. The deck placed well in many tournaments toward the end of the 2008-2009 [[Play! Pokémon|Pokémon Organized Play]] season. Heikki Kettunen took 4th place in the Junior Division during the [[2009 World Championships]] with LuxApe. Although most of the cards in the deck remain legal for competitive play, LuxApe sees very little play at present due to the release of {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Blaziken FB LV.X|142}}, {{TCG|Supreme Victors|Garchomp C LV.X|145}}, and various other cards thought to form combinations with Luxray GL LV.X superior to that with Infernape 4 LV.X.

==Strategy==
[[File:Infernape4RisingRivals43.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Infernape 4|43}}]]
LuxApe has no designated starter Pokémon. Generally, {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Luxray GL|9}} and {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Infernape 4|43}} both provide fine starts, so as to allow for quicker attacking and leveling up, and any poor start can be remedied through either {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Unown Q|49}} or {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-105 Poké Turn|Poké Turn}}. The LuxApe player begins taking prizes as soon as possible through attacks such as Infernape 4's ''Split Bomb'', Luxray GL's ''Trash Bolt'', and, when possible, the attacks of their respective LV.Xs. While attacking, {{TCG|Cyrus's Conspiracy}}, {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}, {{TCG|Roseanne's Research}}, and various other searching and drawing cards are used to stockpile {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-105 Poké Turn|Poké Turn}}s, {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-103 Power Spray|Power Spray}}s, and other situational resources in the player's hand.

After slowing the opponent's setup through the use of Power Spray, LuxApe attempts to disrupt the opponent's strategy by bringing up their support Pokémon with {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Luxray GL LV.X|109}}'s ''Bright Look'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}} or {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Infernape 4 LV.X|108}}'s ''Intimidating Roar'' Poké-Power. With the opponent crippled, LuxApe ideally proceeds to take six prizes as quickly as possible off the opponent's weak support Pokémon and unevolved Basics.

Certain cards in the deck are used to "type-trump" the opponent's main attackers or techs, giving LuxApe a significant advantage over many of the major archetypes of the day. {{TCG ID|Platinum|Ninetales|36}} provided an extremely powerful counter to both {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Flygon|5}}-based archetypes, such as {{TCG|Mother Flygon}}, and decks teching {{TCG|Legends Awakened|Mewtwo LV.X|144}} to beat {{TCG|Pokémon SP|SP}} decks. {{TCG ID|DP Promo|Toxicroak G|41}} could knock out an only slightly-damaged {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Regigigas LV.X|100}} as a revenge kill, while Luxray GL LV.X and Infernape 4 LV.X provided good type coverage and all-around good attackers.

'''Toxitank''' was a moderately popular, although short-lived, {{TCG|deck archetype}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. It centered around the combination of {{TCG ID|Platinum|Toxicroak G|40}}'s ''Deep Poison'' attack and {{TCG ID|Platinum|Skuntank G|94}}'s ''Poison Structure'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}}, along with a strong {{TCG|Engine#SP Engine|SP Engine}} and various support Pokémon. The deck won numerous [[Play! Pokémon|Pokémon Organized Play]] tournaments soon after the release of the {{TCG|Platinum}} expansion, but it faded into relative obscurity as players moved toward different {{TCG|Pokémon SP}} decks, such as {{TCG|LuxChomp}} and {{TCG|DialgaChomp}}.

==Strategy==
[[File:UxieLegendsAwakened43.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}]]
As previously stated, Toxitank focuses on {{TCG|Poisoned|Poisoning}} the opponent's Pokémon with {{TCG ID|Platinum|Skuntank G|94}} and proceeding to attack with {{TCG ID|Platinum|Toxicroak G|40}}. Since Skuntank G's ''Poison Structure'' Poké-Power can be used only if the Toxitank player has a {{TCG|Stadium card}} in play, {{TCG ID|Platinum|Honchkrow G|77}}'s ''Honcho's Command'' attack is very beneficial early in the game. Along with Honchkrow G, {{TCG ID|Platinum|Weavile G|17}} provides a good start for the deck. Its ''Call for Family'' attack allows the Toxitank player to set up faster by giving them access to more {{TCG|Pokémon SP}} in play.

In addition to Honchkrow G and Weavile G, Toxitank utilizes an SP Engine based around {{TCG|Cyrus's Conspiracy}} and a variety of ''Team Galactic's Invention'' {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, in combination with other {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporters}} such as {{TCG|Roseanne's Research}}. The deck generally has no trouble setting up an attacking Toxicroak G early in the game, with a Stadium card in play and Skuntank G on the Bench. Both Toxicroak G and Skuntank G are {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}}, and as a result, they are searchable by almost any card. In addition, Toxicroak G needs only {{e|Psychic}} to use ''Poison Revenge'', if it has an {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-101 Energy Gain|Energy Gain}} attached. By using {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-103 Power Spray|Power Spray}} to slow the opponent's setup while stockpiling resources in hand, such as {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-105 Poké Turn|Poké Turn}} and {{TCG|Night Maintenance}}, the Toxitank player can fulfill the deck's goal of taking easy prizes with fast Basic Pokémon and low-cost attacks.

==Key Cards==
[[File:CyrusConspiracyPlatinum105.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|Platinum|Cyrus's Conspiracy|105}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Platinum|Toxicroak G|40}}''' - This Toxicroak G, a {{TCG|Psychic}}-type Pokémon from the {{TCG|Platinum}} expansion, is the deck's main attacker. Its ''Anticipation'' Poké-Body prevents all effects of attacks except damage done to Toxicroak G, making it immune to {{TCG|Stormfront|Machamp|20}}'s ''Take Out'' attack, {{TCG|Stormfront|Gengar|18}}'s ''Shadow Room'' attack, and the attacks of various other popular Pokémon of the era. Toxicroak G's only attack, ''Deep Poison'', does 60 damage for only {{e|Psychic}}{{e|Colorless}}. If the Defending Pokémon is Poisoned by Skuntank G, Toxicroak G can do significant damage with only one energy attachment, provided {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-101 Energy Gain|Energy Gain}} is attached.
* '''{{TCG ID|Platinum|Skuntank G|94}}''' - Skuntank G combos well with Toxicroak G because of its ''Poison Structure'' Poké-Power. If the Toxitank player has a {{TCG|Stadium card}} in play, they can use ''Poison Structure'' to {{TCG|Poisoned|Poison}} both Active Pokémon. However, since it does not affect Pokémon SP, it will generally only Poison the opponent's Active Pokémon, allowing Toxicroak G's ''Deep Poison'' attack to do more damage and nullifying any Poké-Powers the affected Pokémon possesses.
* '''{{TCG ID|Platinum|Honchkrow G|77}}''' - Honchkrow G is primarily used as a starter in Toxitank. Its ''Honcho's Command'' attack allows the Toxitank player to search for two in any combination of {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainer cards}} with ''Team Galactic's Invention'' in their name and Stadium cards. This is essential, as the Toxitank player must have a Stadium card in play in order to use Skuntank G's ''Poison Structure''. Honchkrow G can also be used as an offensive attacker; with an energy cost of {{e|Darkness}}{{e|Colorless}}, its ''Target Attack'' does 40 damage to any damaged opponent's Pokémon, meaning it can be used to pick off weakened Benched Pokémon later in the game.
* '''{{TCG ID|Platinum|Weavile G|17}}''' - In addition to Honchkrow G, Weavile is an ideal starter Pokémon for the deck. Its ''Call for Family'' attack allows the player to search their deck for up to two Pokémon SP and place them onto their Bench. This is useful early in the game, since most critical Pokémon in the deck are Basic Pokémon SP. Additionally, Weavile G can provide a powerful attacker at any point in the game. For {{e|Darkness}}{{e|Colorless}}{{e|Colorless}}, ''Team Attack'' does 10 damage plus an additional 10 damage for each Pokémon SP the Toxitank player has in play. With six Pokémon-SP in play, including Weavile G, and an {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-101 Energy Gain|Energy Gain}} attached, Weavile G is able to do 70 damage for only two energy attachments.
* '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}''' - Uxie provides the deck with its main draw support. When played from the hand, its ''Set Up'' Poké-Power allows the Toxitank player to draw cards until they have seven cards in hand. Although the non-leveled-up Uxie's usefulness ends with this effect, {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie LV.X|146}} provides a powerful attacker, and a continuous draw effect with its ''Trade Off'' Poké-Power.
* '''{{TCG|Cyrus's Conspiracy}}''' - Cyrus's Conspiracy gives Toxitank its primary searching power - an [[Engine (TCG)#Cyrus engine/SP engine|SP engine]]. By allowing the player to search out one [[Energy card (TCG)#Basic Energy cards|Basic Energy card]], one {{TCG|Supporter card}}, and one {{TCG|Trainer card}} with ''Team Galactic's Invention'' in its name, Cyrus's Conspiracy gives Toxitank indirect access to most cards in the deck. If they are in need of a Pokémon SP, they can use Cyrus's Conspiracy to search for {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-109 SP Radar|SP Radar}}, which can in turn search for a Pokémon SP. The most common use of Cyrus's Consiracy, though, is to stockpile resources, such as Poké Turn, Power Spray, and various Basic Energy cards, in the player's hand for later use.
* '''{{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-105 Poké Turn|Poké Turn}}''' - Poké Turn is often cited as the most critical Trainer card in any SP deck, for good reason. By allowing the player to return any Pokémon SP on their side of the field to the hand, Poké Turn essentially provides for healing, free retreating, and the re-use of coming-into-play effects such as {{TCG ID|Platinum|Crobat G|47}}'s ''Flash Bite''. If Toxitank begins with an unfavorable start, such as {{TCG ID|Platinum|Bronzong G|41}} or {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Lucario GL|8}}, Poké Turn can rectify that by returning the Pokémon to the player's hand. If a Toxicroak G is on the verge of being knocked out, Poké Turn can deny the opponent a prize and effectively heal the Toxicroak.
* '''{{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-103 Power Spray|Power Spray}}''' - Power Spray is the deck's foremost disruption card, and a primary reason Toxitank was able to compete against Stage-2 setup decks such as {{TCG|Mother Gengar}} and {{TCG|BlastCatty}}. By negating any {{TCG|Poké-Power}} used by the opponent during their turn, Power Spray could stall the opponent's setup and temporarily cripple many leading decks that relied on Poké-Powers for support and drawing.
* '''{{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-101 Energy Gain|Energy Gain}}''' - Energy Gain is akin to a free energy attachment for Pokémon SP. By reducing the cost of {{TCG ID|Platinum|Toxicroak G|40}}'s ''Deep Poison'' attack by {{e}}, Energy Gain allows Toxicroak G to do 60 or more damage for a cost of only {{e|Psychic}}. After using Poké Turn to scoop up a Toxicroak G, Energy Gain can allow the same Pokémon to attack during the same turn, since it reduces the timeit takes to charge a Toxicroak G from two turns to one.

==Possible Tech Cards==
[[File:DialgaGLVXPlatinum122.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Platinum|Dialga G LV.X|122}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Platinum|Dialga G LV.X|122}}''' - Although it can be argued that the addition of Dialga G LV.X changes the deck into a variant of {{TCG|DialgaChomp}}, 1-1 or 2-1 lines were originally considered a tech in Toxitank. By preventing the opponent from using Poké-Bodies and giving the deck the ability to Trainer-lock the opponent through {{TCG ID|Platinum|Dialga G|7}}'s ''Deafen'' attack, this tech adds to the disruption provided by Power Spray.
* '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Mightyena|66}}''' - Mightyena provides an alternate attacker. More powerful but less reliable, it can do 80 damage for no energy if it has been Poisoned by Skuntank G's ''Poison Structure''. If Mightyena is not Poisoned, however, it is virtually useless and provides even less power than Toxicroak G.
* '''{{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Pachirisu|5}}''' - Pachirisu's first attack, ''Call for Family'', is akin to Weavile G's ''Call for Family''. Pachirisu allows the player to search for three Pokémon instead of two, but also costs {{e}}, whereas Weavile G's attack is free. This tech also provided the deck with a better matchup against {{TCG|Kingdra archetype|Kingdra decks}} and other {{TCG|Water}}-type decks of the era.
* '''{{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Unown G|57}}''' - Unown G was used primarily as a means of avoiding the effect of {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Gengar|18}}'s ''Shadow Room'' attack. By placing six damage counters on any Pokémon with a Poké-Power, ''Shadow Room'' allowed {{TCG|Mother Gengar}} to take easy prizes off Skuntank G, Bronzong G, Crobat G, and various other supporting Pokémon in Toxitank.
* '''{{TCG|Call Energy}}''' - Generally used in place of either Weavile G or Pachirisu, Call Energy provided an alternate means of placing Basic Pokémon on the Bench early in the game.

Quicketune (TCG)

|era=2007-2008
}}
'''Quicketune''' was a mildly popular {{TCG|deck archetype}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] centered around {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Kricketune|27}} from the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion. It was common especially among newer players and younger players due to its inexpensiveness and relative ease of use.

==Strategy==
Quicketune's strategy was among the most simple of the time. The deck's entire focus was to set up a {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Kricketune|27}} on the second turn of the game with three {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Kricketot|86}} on the Bench. {{TCG|Supporter card}}s, such as {{TCG ID|EX Dragon Frontiers|Holon Mentor|75}}, {{TCG ID|EX Dragon Frontiers|TV Reporter|82}}, and {{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Celio's Network|73}}, along with {{TCG|Trainer card}}s such as {{TCG ID|EX Power Keepers|Master Ball|78}} and {{TCG ID|EX Power Keepers|Great Ball|77}} provided Quickitune with the means to set up quickly. The deck's extremely thin Pokémon count of only eight allowed extra room for these consistency cards.

From that point forward, Kricketune would attack with ''Concerto'', doing 80 damage each turn if there were three Kricketot Benched, using {{TCG|PlusPower}} when necessary to reach a Knock Out and {{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Night Maintenance|120}} whenever a Pokémon was Knocked Out.

==Key cards==
[[File:HolonMentorEXDeltaSpecies93.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|EX Dragon Frontiers|Holon Mentor|75}}]]
*'''{{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Kricketune|27}}''' - As the deck's primary and only attacker, Kricketune was capable of doing up to 80 damage for only {{e|Grass}}{{e|Grass}} with its ''Concerto'' attack. At the time, this was extremely powerful early in the game and easy to accomplish through the deck's large {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainer}} and {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporter}} line.
*'''{{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Kricketot|86}}''' - Although Kricketot is obviously needed in the deck to evolve into Kricketune, having three Kricketot on the Bench was also critical to achieving maximum damage output with ''Concerto''.
*'''{{TCG ID|EX Dragon Frontiers|Holon Mentor|75}}''' - Holon Mentor's ability to get all three remaining Kricketot on the Bench (after the Kricketot the player started with) was vital to Quicketune's strategy, for the reason stated above.
*'''{{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}}''' - After using Holon Mentor or Great Ball to search out all four Kricketot from the deck, the Quicketune player still needed to evolve into Kricketune to begin using ''Concerto''. Since the only Pokémon left in the deck would be the latter, the combination of Holon Mentor and Quick Ball allowed for a turn two Kricketune almost 100% of the time.
*'''{{TCG ID|EX Power Keepers|Great Ball|77}}''' - Holon Mentor was generally a more effective method, but Great Ball's ability to search out a Kricketot was important in the event that Holon Mentor was not available or the player would be better served by a different Supporter.
*'''{{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|PlusPower|121}}''' - While 80 damage from the second turn onward with ''Concerto'' was powerful enough to knock out many Pokémon, PlusPower was needed to reach one-shot Knock Outs on Defending Pokémon with hit points above 90.
*'''{{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Night Maintenance|120}}''' - Since Kricketune had only 80HP, it was Knocked Out fairly often. Because the ''Concerto''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s damage output was dependent on the number of Kricketot and Kricketune in play, losing one limited it to 60 and necessitating the recovery of the Knocked Out Pokémon. Night Maintenance provided this recovery, allowing the player to return up to three in any combination of Pokémon and [[Energy card (TCG)#Basic Energy cards|Basic Energy]] to their deck.

Both served essentially the same function as burnable draw Trainers, but Victory Medal's ability to grab any card from the player's deck 25% of the time was seen as slightly superior.

'''LuxPluff''' was a popular {{TCG|deck archetype}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

Its name was derived from the combination of {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Luxray GL LV.X|109}} and {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Jumpluff|6}}, the deck's two primary Pokémon.

{{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Jumpluff|6}}, from the {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} expansion, was the deck's main attacker. {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Luxray GL LV.X|109}} provided important disruption and an alternate attacker. Although only a 1-1 line is used in this build, it was considered the second most significant component of the deck.

LuxPluff could be considered fully set up when the player had one or more {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Jumpluff|6}} on the field ready to attack, as well as one or more {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}} on the bench for draw support and {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Luxray GL|9}} on the bench ready to level up. Ideally, the player would also have resources in hand to recover a Jumpluff, should one be knocked out, and get it back onto the field as quickly as possible. This setup could be achieved through the deck's numerous drawing and searching resources, such as {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}, {{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}, {{TCG|Cyrus's Conspiracy}}, and, once possible, {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}}. {{TCG|Broken Time-Space}} greatly simplified the process of getting out Jumpluff and Claydol by allowing for rapid evolution, which could lead to a {{tt|donk|turn one win}} or an extremely fast setup.

Although Jumpluff was the primary attacker and was generally used simply to knock out whatever Pokémon the opponent had active at a given time, Luxray GL LV.X made it possible to take easy prizes off weaker Pokémon on the opponent's bench. Both Jumpluff and Luxray GL LV.X had free retreat, and the latter could benefit from {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-105 Poké Turn|Poké Turn}}'s effect, so alternating between them as needed was not difficult. Often, when one of the LuxPluff player's Active Pokémon was knocked out, they would bring up a {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Luxray GL|9}} to level up. Then, using Luxray GL LV.X's ''Bright Look'' Poké-Power, they would force one of the opponent's benched Pokémon active, retreat Luxray GL LV.X, and knock out the opponent's new active with Jumpluff. Luxray GL LV.X could also provide a strong attacker in a pinch.

==Key Cards==
*''' {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Luxray GL LV.X|109}}''' - Luxray GL LV.X's ''Bright Look'' [[Pokémon Power (TCG)|Poké-Power]] could bring up one of the opponent's benched Pokémon and switch it with the active. This effect, similar to that of {{TCG|Gust of Wind}} and {{TCG|Pokémon Catcher}}, was commonly used to bring up either a weak support Pokémon or an unevolved Basic for an easy prize. Luxray GL LV.X could also use its ''Flash Impact'' attack, which dealt 60 damage for only {{e|Lightning}}{{e|Colorless}}.
*''' {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Jumpluff|6}}''' - The deck's main attacker, Jumpluff could do up to {{tt|120 damage|depending on the number of Pokémon in play}} for just {{e|Grass}} with ''Mass Attack''.
* '''{{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}}''' - Claydol provided the deck's most powerful draw support. Claydol's ''Cosmic Power'' Poké-Power allowed for continuous hand refreshment, which was exceptionally useful to both getting out multiple Jumpluff and recovering them once they were knocked out.
*''' {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}''' - Uxie's ''Set Up'' Poké-Power allowed the player to draw until they had seven cards in hand, which was critical for a fast setup. Its searchability through {{TCG|Pokémon Collector}} allowed for easier access as well, and made for a more versatile card.
*''' {{TCG|Cyrus's Conspiracy}}''' - Cyrus's Conspiracy was one of the most important searching {{TCG|Supporter card}}s in the deck, allowing the player to grab a {{TCG|Supporter card}}, Team Galactic's Invention {{TCG|Trainer card}}, and [[Energy card (TCG)#Basic Energy|Basic Energy]]. Since the deck ran so few Energy cards, the latter effect was especially useful.
*''' {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-105 Poké Turn|Poké Turn}}''' - Since Luxray GL LV.X's ''Bright Look'' could only be used when the card entered play from the owner's hand, Poké Turn was critical to using it multiple times in a single game.

[[File:ShayminLVXPlatinum126.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Platinum|Shaymin LV.X|126}}]]
*''' {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Chatot|55}}''' - Chatot was used in some builds for hand refreshment, as well as its ability to "Chatter Lock." ''Chatter Locking'' prevented an opponent's starter Pokémon, such as {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Sableye|48}} or {{TCG ID|Arceus|Spiritomb|32}} from retreating until it was either knocked out or, in some cases, the opponent ran out of cards in their deck.
*''' {{TCG ID|Platinum|Shaymin LV.X|126}}''' - Shaymin LV.X boosted Jumpluff's maximum hit points of 90, considered dismally low for a Stage 2 Pokémon, to 130 through its ''Thankfulness'' {{TCG|Poké-Body}}. Although ''Thankfulness'' counteracted one of the deck's biggest downfalls in Jumpluff's frailness, Shaymin LV.X was difficult to get on the field and could be a detriment to a fast setup. Builds utilizing Shaymin LV.X usually did so at the exclusion of Luxray GL LV.X.
* '''{{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Sunflora|31}}''' - Sunflora's ''Sunshine Grace'' Poké-Power, which allowed the player to search their deck for any {{TCG|Grass}}-type Pokémon, was often used as a support Pokémon in place of Claydol, after the latter's rotation.

'''LostGar''' is a popular {{TCG|deck archetype}} in competitive [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] play. It is based on the combination of [[Gengar (Triumphant 94)|Gengar Prime]] and {{TCG|Lost World}}. Variants of the deck dominated Pokémon Organized Play for several months in {{wp|Japan}} after {{TCG|Lost World}}'s release in the {{TCG|Lost Link}} mini-series. Because of the deck's success overseas, LostGar was immensely hyped in the western Pokémon Trading Card Game community. After some initial success, however, it seemed to fade into obscurity. There are differing theories as to why, and it was mostly like a combination of several factors such as the deck being one of many that worked in Japan but not elsewhere, losing access to certain cards during rotation, the pace of the game speeding up, and the rise of decks with lower Pokémon counts.

==Strategy==
[[File:SmeargleUndaunted8.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Undaunted|Smeargle|8}}]]
While most deck archetypes focus on taking six prizes to satisfy the game's traditional win condition, LostGar attempts to place six of the opponent's Pokémon in the Lost Zone to win with {{TCG|Lost World}}. To do this, the deck employs the effects of [[Gengar (Triumphant 94)|Gengar Prime]], {{TCG ID|Platinum|Palkia G LV.X|125}}, and {{TCG ID|Call of Legends|Mime Jr.|47}}. The deck has three passable starters, immediately giving it an advantage over decks that run fewer. {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Gastly|62}} can lock down the opponent early in the game by preventing them from playing {{TCG|Trainer card}}s with its ''Pitch Dark'' attack. Against Trainer-heavy decks such as {{TCG|Gyarados archetype|Gyarados}} and {{TCG|LuxChomp}}, ''Pitch Dark'' can buy LostGar valuable time to set up. {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Smeargle|8}} is also a solid start, as it can allow the LostGar player to use an additional {{TCG|Supporter card}} each turn with its ''Portrait'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}}. LostGar's third good start is {{TCG ID|Call of Legends|Mime Jr.|47}}. While the other two Pokémon mentioned here help LostGar stall the opponent and set up faster, respectively, Mime Jr. actually advances the deck's win condition. In combination with {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Chatot G|54}}'s ''Disrupting Spy'' Poké-Power, Mime Jr. can place multiple opponent's Pokémon in the Lost Zone before he or she can respond by knocking it out.

The deck's primary attacker is [[Gengar (Triumphant 94)|Gengar Prime]]. Using a combination of speed Supporter cards, such as {{TCG|Cyrus's Conspiracy}} and {{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}, and drawing Poké-Powers such as Smeargle's ''Portrait'' and {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}'s ''Set Up'', LostGar attempts to get multiple Gengar Prime up and running early in the game. Additionally, a miniature [[Engine (TCG)#SP engine|SP engine]] can assist in getting {{TCG ID|Platinum|Palkia G LV.X|125}} onto the field. From there, the deck simply uses Gengar Prime's ''Hurl into Darkness'' attack in combination with Palkia G LV.X's ''Lost Cyclone'' Poké-Power to place six of the opponent's Pokémon in the Lost Zone. {{TCG|Seeker}} is also vitally important to the deck, as it ensures at least one Pokémon in the opponent's hand to target with ''Hurl into Darkness''. Once there are six Pokémon in the opponent's Lost Zone, the LostGar player simply plays {{TCG|Lost World}} as soon as possible to declare themselves the winner of the game.

==Key Cards==
[[File:SeekerTriumphant88.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG|Seeker}}]]
* '''[[Gengar (Triumphant 94)|Gengar Prime]]''' - As the deck's main attacker, Gengar Prime is arguably the most important Pokémon in LostGar. With its ''Hurl Into Darkness'' attack, Gengar Prime can put Pokémon from the opponent's hand into the [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Lost Zone|Lost Zone]] equal to the number of {{e|Psychic}} energies attached to it. Additionally, Gengar Prime's ''Catastrophe'' {{TCG|Poké-Power|Poké-Body}} states that any opponent's Pokémon knocked out while Gengar Prime is active are placed into the Lost Zone instead of the discard. With ''Hurl Into Darkness'' and ''Catastrophe'', and thus an ability to place Pokémon into the Lost Zone quickly, Gengar Prime provides the perfect complement to {{TCG|Lost World}}.
* '''{{TCG ID|Undaunted|Smeargle|8}}''' - Smeargle is the deck's ideal start. With its ''Portrait'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}}, Smeargle has the ability to allow LostGar an extra {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporter}} play each turn, which can greatly improve the deck's set up speed early in the game. Additionally, when a Gengar Prime is knocked out, the LostGar player can bring up Smeargle to gain its effect and then retreat it into another Gengar Prime. The deck's dependence on Smeargle for a fast start is the chief reason many builds run two {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Unown Q|49}}; with Unown Q attached, the LostGar player does not have to pay to retreat Smeargle.
* '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}''' - Uxie is the deck's primary drawing effect. Its ''Set Up'' Poké-Power allows the player to draw until he or she has seven cards in hand when it is played.
* '''{{TCG|Cyrus's Conspiracy}}''' - Although some builds, especially those utilizing [[Mew (Triumphant 97)|Mew Prime]], do not run Cyrus's Conspiracy, it is crucial in any variant running {{TCG ID|Platinum|Palkia G LV.X|125}} and/or the {{TCG ID|Call of Legends|Mime Jr.|47}}/{{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Chatot G|54}} combination. Cyrus's Conspiracy allows the LostGar player to grab any Supporter card, any ''Team Galactic's Invention'', and any [[Energy card (TCG)#Basic Energy cards|Basic Energy card]] from their deck. Since the deck runs a variety of Supporters, two different ''Team Galactic's Invention'' cards, and ten Basic Energies, Cyrus's Conspiracy will almost always yield at least two helpful cards, making it one of the most important cards in the deck.
* '''{{TCG|Seeker}}''' - Seeker is the primary card that allows Gengar Prime's ''Hurl into Darkness'' to be effective. The card's effect forces the opponent to pick up one of their Pokémon off the Bench, placing it in the hand. Seeker guarantees that, regardless of the opponent's ability to get Pokémon out of her or her hand, ''Hurl into Darkness'' will be able to send at least one Pokémon into the Lost Zone. Additionally, Seeker can allow the LostGar player to scoop up a damaged Gengar Prime, reuse {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}'s ''Set Up'' Poké-Power, or generally open up a Bench spot, making at a versatile card and arguably the most important {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporter}} in LostGar.
* '''{{TCG|Lost World}}''' - LostGar's entire premise is based on the win condition presented by Lost World. If the opponent has six or more Pokémon in the Lost Zone and Lost World is on the field, the LostGar player can declare him- or herself the winner of the game. The deck's strategy revolves around using whatever means possible to get six of the opponent's Pokémon in the Lost Zone and subsequently using Lost World to win the game immediately following.
* '''{{TCG|Broken Time-Space}}''' - Although some would not consider Broken Time-Space a staple card of LostGar, the ability to evolve quickly is critical. Getting Gengar Prime onto the field early in the game and beginning to use ''Hurl into Darkness'' can result in several of the opponent's Pokémon being sent to the Lost Zone before he or she has the opportunity to set up. In essence, Broken Time-Space is the most important card for the purpose of getting Gengar Prime out quickly.

==Possible Tech Cards==
[[File:VileplumeUndaunted24.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Undaunted|Vileplume|24}}]]
''The following cards are often used in LostGar in place of certain cards included in the above list.''
* '''{{TCG ID|Undaunted|Vileplume|24}}''' - The addition of Vileplume, generally in combination with {{TCG ID|Arceus|Spiritomb|32}}, transforms a typical LostGar list into a variant of {{TCG|VileGar}}. While the objective is still to win with {{TCG|Lost World}}'s win condition, Vileplume's ''Allergy Pollen'' Poké-Body allows for significant disruption. By preventing the opponent from playing {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, Vileplume can greatly slow down their set up. This dampens the opponent's ability to take prizes quickly, giving LostGar a longer period in which to place the opponent's Pokémon into the Lost Zone. Vileplume is one of the most common LostGar techs, and it typically takes the place of {{TCG ID|Platinum|Palkia G LV.X|125}}.
* '''{{TCG ID|Triumphant|Spiritomb|10}}''' - Spiritomb is used to force the opponent to shuffle their hand into the deck. Although giving the opponent free hand refreshment would often be counterproductive, it actually gives Gengar Prime the opportunity to place more Pokémon into the Lost Zone with ''Hurl into Darkness''. With many decks running {{TCG|Junk Arm}} and {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Regice|36}} to practice hand control and limit the number of Pokémon in hand, ''Hurl into Darkness'' can occasionally prove ineffective. Spiritomb provides the means to erase any form of hand control the opponent has used.
* '''{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Gengar|18}}''' - This Gengar assists LostGar with certain difficult matchups where it may be difficult to place the opponent's Pokémon in the Lost Zone. Against certain decks built specifically to counter LostGar, such as some {{TCG|Donkphan}} variants, the {{TCG|Stormfront}} Gengar can take prizes to fulfill the traditional win condition.
* '''{{TCG|Junk Arm}}''' - Against opposing LostGar decks, Junk Arm can provide a way to get Pokémon out of the hand while assisting the deck's speed by allowing it to reuse {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainer cards}}.
* '''{{TCG|Warp Energy}}''' - Warp Energy helps LostGar take advantage of its multiple {{TCG|Seeker}}. Although Seeker is used primarily to force the opponent to pick up one of their Pokémon, Warp Energy allows the deck to take full advantage of it by placing a damaged Gengar Prime on the Bench to be scooped up and healed.
* '''{{TCG|Rescue Energy}}''' - Often used in place of {{TCG|Palmer's Contribution}}, Rescue Energy allows LostGar to immediately recycle knocked out Gengar Primes. Keeping up a steady onslaught of Gengar Prime's ''Hurl into Darkness'' attack is vital to continuously placing the opponent's Pokémon into the Lost Zone, so Rescue Energy is a common addition to the deck.
* '''{{TCG ID|Call of Legends|Slowking|32}}''' - Players can arrange the cards of the opponent's deck in order to send Pokémon into the Lost Zone using {{TCG ID|Call of Legends|Mime Jr.|47}}'s Sleepy Lost attack.

'''ReshiBoar''' is a deck that was one of the first conceived when the HGSS-on Format was introduced. It combines Reshiram from Black and White, and Emboar from Black and White.

The strategy of the deck is to keep cycling {{TCG|Energy Card|Energy}} with Emboar to constantly hit for 120 with Reshiram's Blue Flare.

Emboar's {{TCG|Pokémon Power|Ability}}, Inferno Fandango, allows one to attach as many {{TCG|Fire Energy|Fire Energies}} to one's Pokémon as one likes. Combined with Reshiram's {{tt|Blue Flare|deals 120 damage while discarding two Fire Energies}}, and {{tt|{{TCG ID|Base Set|Energy Retrieval|81}}|relocates two Basic Energy cards from one's discard pile to one's hand}}, the deck consistently outputs 120 damage. Before significant tournament results emerged, it was debated whether ReshiBoar or {{TCG|TyRam|TyRam}} was the better deck. TyRam became much more successful because the ability to recycle energy allowed the deck to conserve space, while ReshiBoar had to devote several slots to Energy Retrieval and more Energy cards.

==Deck strategy==
The main cards in this deck are Reshiram and Emboar. Reshiram is the main attacker which does 120 damage for 1 Colorless and 2 Fire Energy; however, the player discards 2 Fire Energy. Emboar's Ability lets the player move as much Fire Energy as they like to Reshiram to attack again in 1 turn.

==Blurb==

Ash arrives at the Canalave Gym, ready for a battle, but there's yet another snag: Gym Leader Byron's son is in town, and that son is Roark, the Oreburgh Gym Leader! The two of them have a lot to work out; not only do they argue over who loves fossils the most, Roark is still angry at Byron, the former Oreburgh Gym Leader, for abandoning the family and running off to Canalave City. To clear the air, Byron and his Bastiodon will battle Roark and his Rampardos in an exhibition match, and Ash's battle will just have to wait!

Bastiodon's strength is its defensive capability, and its Iron Defense easily absorbs Rampardos's Zen Headbutt attacks. Even though Rampardos keeps up a tough offense, it just can't crack Bastiodon's defense, and it's starting to get tired. Then the Gym alarm sounds—Team Rocket has dug into Byron's exhibition room and escaped with all of his fossils, which means the battle is over! Ash and his friends follow as Byron and Roark jump into the tunnel dug by Team Rocket, catching up with the thieves outside the Gym. As much as Byron admires Team Rocket's digging prowess, he and Roark want those fossils back!

Bastiodon and Rampardos take on Team Rocket's Mecha Man robot, which is holding all the fossil loot. By working together, they're able to smash holes in the back of the robot, but they can't get any closer to finish it off. That's when Pikachu comes to the rescue, blasting the damaged mecha with electricity and sending Team Rocket on their way. As Byron and Roark retrieve the stolen fossils, Roark finds the Sunkern fossil he gave his dad long ago. It seems Byron does care about him after all—in fact, Byron left the family in Oreburgh so that Roark could become his own Gym Leader, not just Byron's apprentice. Now father and son are finally reconciled, and Ash can finally battle Byron at last!

==Plot==
[[Byron]], the Gym Leader of [[Canalave City]], has finally returned from his training on [[Iron Island]]. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} come to the Gym in order for Ash to have his Gym Battle with Byron. However, they are once again met by the Gym's referee who informs Ash that Byron cannot accept a challenge as he is currently arguing with his son. Upon entering the Gym Ash and his friends find Byron's son is none other than [[Roark]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Oreburgh City]]. He greets Ash and friends, but then gets back to fighting with his father over who loves Fossils more. In an attempt to prove his love of Fossils Byron shows Roark, Ash, {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Dawn}} his collection of Fossils, including his special {{p|Anorith}} Fossil which is three times the size of a normal Anorith. Byron and Roark then begin to fight over who has the better revived Fossil Pokémon, [[Byron]]'s {{p|Bastiodon}} or [[Roark's Rampardos]]. Ash suggests they battle to see whose Fossil Pokémon is better.

Before the battle, Ash and his friends are speaking to Roark, where it is revealed that Roark is there to convince his father to come home to [[Oreburgh City]] for his parents' anniversary. A flashback is shown, in which Byron leaves Oreburgh for Canalave City, since the Pokémon League asked him to take over the Gym there. He also states that Iron Island will be a good place for him to find more Fossils. He leaves Roark in charge of the Oreburgh Gym where he was formerly the Gym Leader. He also leaves his wife behind in his move. Brock mentions that this reminds him of a {{ka|Flint|father he knows}}.

Roark starts the fight by having Rampardos repeatedly using {{m|Zen Headbutt}}, while Byron instructs Bastiodon to counter with {{m|Iron Defense}}. Ash notes how powerful Zen Headbutt looks, and Brock replies that he thinks Byron actually has the upper hand. Byron instructs his Bastiodon to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, which Rampardos dodges.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} has dug a hole into Byron's Fossil collection. James and Meowth recognize how valuable the Fossils are and the group decides to steal them.

Back at the battle, Roark has Rampardos use {{m|Head Smash}}, which Byron combats with {{m|Iron Head}}. Roark then has his Rampardos use Flamethrower and Byron counters with {{m|Flash Cannon}}. After the collision, Bastiodon seems to have the upper hand. All of a sudden an alarm goes off and Byron calls off the battle to go check on his Fossils. Upon entering the Fossil room the first thing Byron notices is how expertly Team Rocket dug their entry hole and doesn't even notice that his Fossils are missing. He then goes on to talk about Team Rocket's escape hole which he concludes must have been dug by a machine. Roark has to point out that all of his Fossils are missing before he notices. The group then jumps down Team Rocket's escape hole in an attempt to retrieve the stolen Fossils.

At the other end of the hole, Team Rocket is seen emerging with a drill mecha carrying the Fossils. They begin to walk away when Byron, Roark, Ash, Brock and Dawn peek their heads out from inside the hole. The group confronts Team Rocket. Team Rocket does a modified version of their {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Ancient Family Matters! motto|motto}}. After they finish Byron begins a speech where instead of getting mad at them for stealing his Fossils he tells them they should only dig their holes by hand and not use machines. Roark points out to him that these are bad people who stole his Fossils and Byron doesn't believe that such good hole diggers could have taken his Fossils. Team Rocket then admits to stealing the Fossils.

Roark sends out his Rampardos and Byron sends out his Bastiodon in an attempt to get the fossils back from Team Rocket. They attack the mecha, which takes almost no damage. Meowth, who is controlling the mecha, then has it start throwing chunks of earth at Rampardos and Bastiodon. Roark instructs Rampardos to use {{m|Zen Headbutt}} on the mecha. It is stopped by some of the chunks of earth that are being thrown at it by the mecha. The mecha then picks up some larger chunks and throws them at Rampardos. As it seems Rampardos is about to be seriously hurt by the tossed chunks of earth Byron has Bastiodon jump in the way and use Iron Defense which blocks the chunks of earth. Byron tells [[Roark]] that his is why he wants Roark to worry about defense more. He then tells Roark to have Rampardos use {{m|Head Smash}}. The attack knocks over the mecha and Ash then has Pikachu use Thunderbolt. The mecha appears unaffected and gets back on its treads. Meowth says the Thunderbolts can't hurt the mecha but he is a little worried about all the head butts. Team Rocket begins to leave and Roark and Byron have their Pokémon use Head Smash and Iron Head respectively. The attacks create two small holes in the back of the mecha. Brock then suggests to Ash that he have Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the holes in the mecha. Ash does and the mecha explodes sending Team Rocket blasting off. The Fossils were also launched but not as far and as they fall back down near the group Roark and Byron are both worried about the safety of the Fossils. After they have landed the pair goes to make sure they are safe. Roark says they are all safe.

Byron then shows Roark his most prized Fossil, a Fossil of a Sunkern leaf. A flashback reveals that the {{p|Sunkern}} [[Fossil]] was found by Roark as a child, being the first Fossil he ever found, and that he gave it to his father. Back in the present, Byron and Roark make amends. Dawn tells Ash and Brock that seeing Roark and Byron making up makes her miss [[Johanna|her mother]]. Brock tells Dawn he was thinking of giving his family a call since it was long overdue, and Ash agrees that he should phone {{Delia|his mom}} too. Byron then tells Ash that he is sorry he has kept him waiting for his Gym Battle but he will have to wait longer as his Bastiodon needs time to rest. Ash agrees and the Gym Battle is scheduled for the next day.

'''Copycat''' (Japanese: '''モノマネむすめ''' ''Mimic Girl'') lives in [[Saffron City]]. She collects [[Pokémon doll]]s, and likes to dress up as and mimic others. Copycat is not her real name, but rather, her nickname.

==In the games==
===Generation I===
In [[Generation I]], Copycat will give the {{player}} the [[TM]] for {{m|Mimic}} in return for a {{p|Clefairy}} [[Poké Doll]].

In her bedroom, there is an {{nw|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}}{{tt|*|Super Famicom in the Japanese releases}} with a game that has {{smw|Mario}} with a bucket on his head, a reference to the Japan-exclusive game {{smw|Mario & Wario}}, also developed by [[Game Freak]].

Copycat has a {{p|Doduo}} she has somehow taught to mimic human speech, similarly to the abilities of a {{p|Chatot}}.

===Generation II===
In [[Generation II]], Copycat's Clefairy Poké Doll, given to her by {{ga|Red}} in [[Generation I]], is lost. It's found by a member of the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]] who is glad to have it as he loves Clefairy. However, he gives it to the {{player}} and decides to catch one himself. When the player returns to Copycat's house and returns her [[Lost Item|lost doll]], she will give the player a [[Pass]] to ride the [[Magnet Train]] that travels between [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

Between the events of Generation I and Generation II, Copycat's house in Saffron City was torn down to make room for the Magnet Train station. According to her, a rail company man gave her a train ticket in compensation for the demolition. Her Doduo has also evolved into {{p|Dodrio}} in the meantime.

===Generation III===
In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, Copycat has the same role as she did in Generation I. However, she is now a [[Move Tutor]] who will teach Mimic to a suitable Pokémon instead, due to Mimic no longer being available as a [[TM]].

===Generation IV===
In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Copycat has the same role as she did in Generation II. However, her Doduo, which evolved into Dodrio in Generation II, has been replaced by a {{p|Banette}}.

===Generation VII===
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!]], because battles with wild Pokémon are mostly removed, the player cannot purchase a [[Poké Doll]]. Instead, Copycat will give the {{player}} the [[TM]] for {{m|Substitute}} if they show her a real {{p|Clefairy}} from their [[party]].

The TV in her bedroom now has a [[Nintendo Switch]], and the Mario & Wario reference is changed to reference [[Pokémon Quest]].

==Trivia==
* In the English localization of {{game|Yellow}}, an NPC in the [[Celadon Department Store]] mentions that he's trying to buy a [[Poké Doll]] for Copycat in [[Cerulean City]]. However, she lives in [[Saffron City]]. This oversight is not present in the original Japanese releases.
* Copycat has green hair in her {{tcg|Expedition Base Set}} artwork, drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]], but brown hair in her {{tcg|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} expansion artwork, drawn by [[Kanako Eo]]. This is likely because in [[Generation IV]], Copycat has the appearance of {{tc|Lass}}es, who have brown hair, and in the first two Generations, black was used for a variety of colors, including green.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Copycat has a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from all the first four [[generation]]s, if counting her [[Pokémon doll]]s:
** A {{p|Clefairy}} doll, representing [[Generation I]];
** A real {{p|Blissey}}, representing [[Generation II]];
** A real {{p|Banette}} (ironically, a Pokémon that was originally a discarded plush doll) and a {{p|Nosepass}} doll, both representing [[Generation III]];
** A {{p|Cherrim}} doll, representing [[Generation IV]].
* If the Copycat is in fact parroting the {{player}} as she implies and not merely putting words in their mouth, then she acts as the player's proxy by providing some of the only lines of dialogue said by them.

}}
'''SMF''', short for '''Scizor/Muk/Furret''', was a popular {{TCG|deck archetype}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the 2002-2003 season. [[Jason Klaczynski]] took first place with this deck at the Gen Con 2003 [[Fan Appreciation Tournament]], organized by Wizards of the Coast after they were denied the licensing rights for the [[EX Ruby & Sapphire]] set.

The deck's name is derived from the first letters of {{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Scizor|H21}}, {{TCG ID|Fossil|Muk|13}}, and {{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Furret|48}}, the deck's three main Pokémon. Variations of SMF without Muk exist, but Muk was popular for giving deck more favorable matchups against {{TCG|Feraligatr/Parasect}} and other popular archetypes of the time.

==Strategy==
SMF's strategy was characteristic of the time in that it relied on an obvious combination between two Pokémon: {{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Scizor|H21}} and {{TCG|Aquapolis|Furret|48}}, both from the {{TCG|Aquapolis}} expansion. The deck focused on getting at least one Scizor and at least one Furret into play as soon as possible and, depending on the matchup, one {{TCG ID|Fossil|Muk|13}}. SMF's ideal starter was {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Cleffa|20}}, which provided near-unlimited hand refreshment early in the game for only {{e|Colorless}}. Cleffa, in combination with {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainer}} and {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporter}} cards such as {{TCG|Pokémon Fan Club}}, {{TCG|Professor Elm}}, and {{TCG|Pokémon Trader}}, made it possible for the deck to set up quickly. Once SMF had Scizor and Furret in play, the deck aimed to attach several [[Metal Energy (Special)|Metal]] and {{TCG|Rainbow Energy|Rainbow}} Energy cards to an active Scizor. Furret's ''Scavenger Hunt'' Poké-Power made searching these Energy out of the deck a simple matter. From there, the player simply attacked with Scizor, expending {{TCG|Gold Berry|Gold Berries}} and {{TCG|Double Gust|Double Gusts}} as necessary for healing and easy prizes, respectively. {{TCG ID|Neo Revelation|Suicune|27}} was utilized in most variants as a counter to Double Gust, since its ''Legendary Body'' Pokémon Power prevented it from being affected by Trainer cards. {{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Mantine|74}} was another common inclusion for its strength against {{TCG|Fire|Fire-type}} Pokémon such as those used in {{TCG|EnteiCargo}}.

==Key cards==
* '''{{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Scizor|H21}}''' - Scizor was the deck's main attacker. Its Poké-Body, ''Poison Resistance'', was useful against {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Beedrill|H4}}'s ''Venom Spray'' Poké-Power by preventing Scizor from being Poisoned. While Scizor's ''Snatch'' attack was occasionally useful, an SMF player aimed to use ''Heavy Metal'' often. ''Heavy Metal,'' Scizor's second attack, was able to do a significant amount of damage if Scizor had several Metal Energy attached to it. Since Metal Energy also reduced the amount of damage Scizor took from attacks, SMF typically attempted to stack several on a single Scizor to allow it to survive longer while doing more damage with ''Heavy Metal''.
* '''{{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Furret|48}}''' - Furret complemented Scizor well with its ''Scavenger Hunt'' Poké-Power. ''Scavenger Hunt'' allowed the SMF player to trade two cards in hand for one Energy card from their deck. Because Special Energy cards such as Metal Energy are typically difficult to search out of a player's deck, Furret increased the pace at which the player could stack Metal Energy cards on Scizor. ''Scavenger Hunt'' also increased the effectiveness with which SMF could tech different {{TCG|Special Energy card|Special Energy cards}} for unique situations.
* '''{{TCG ID|Fossil|Muk|13}}''' - Muk's Pokémon Power, ''Toxic Gas'', negated all other Pokémon Powers in play. ''Toxic Gas'' made Furret's ''Scavenger Hunt'' unusable, so the SMF player needed to be very careful when playing Muk. However, it provided a strong counter to {{TCG|Feraligatr/Parasect}}, another popular archetype of the time. ''Toxic Gas'' shut off {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}}'s ''Downpour'' Pokémon Power as well as {{TCG ID|Neo Revelation|Parasect|35}}'s ''Allergic Pollen'' Pokémon Power, greatly decreasing Feraligatr/Parasect's damage output.
* '''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Cleffa|20}}''' - Cleffa provided SMF with significant draw support in the form of its ''Eeeeeeek'' attack. ''Eeeeeeek'', for a cost of {{e|Colorless}}, allowed the SMF player to shuffle their hand into the deck and draw a new hand of seven cards. Since SMF needed a relatively large number of cards to set up completely, Cleffa was very valuable early in the game.
* '''{{TCG|Gold Berry}}''' - Gold Berry assisted with the deck's strategy of tanking a single Scizor for a long time. While Metal Energies reduced the damage Scizor took from attacks, Gold Berry removed much of the damage that an opponent did manage to do, making Scizor even more difficult to Knock Out.

==Possible tech cards==
[[File:BillBaseSet91.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Legendary Collection|Bill|108}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Skyridge|Oracle|138}}''' and '''{{TCG ID|Legendary Collection|Bill|108}}''' - Used in place of the deck's typical drawing support ({{TCG ID|Expedition|Copycat|138}} and {{TCG ID|Expedition|Professor Oak's Research|149}}), Oracle and Bill effectively allowed the SMF player to search their deck for any two cards once per turn. Oracle, a {{TCG|Supporter card}}, placed any two cards on top of the player's deck, while Bill allowed the player to draw those two cards. It was a more precise, but less consistent, drawing engine, as it required the player to have two specific cards in hand to function properly.
* '''{{TCG ID|Neo Discovery|Tyrogue|66}}''' - {{TCG|Baby Pokémon}} such as {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Cleffa|20}} and {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Pichu|12}} were popular in SMF's era, and Tyrogue provided a way to knock out many Baby Pokémon (assuming a successful coin flip) with its inexpensive ''Smash Punch'' attack.
* '''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Pichu|12}}''' - As many decks, including SMF variants themselves, relied on Pokémon Powers, Pichu's ''Zzzap'' attack was a powerful counter. ''Zzzap'' did 20 damage to each Pokémon in play with a Pokémon Power. Although it would damage the player's own Muk, Furret, and Suicune when used, it could also do significant damage to the opponents' Pokémon.
* '''{{TCG|Aquapolis|Warp Energy|147}}''' - Because {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Double Gust|100}} was included in almost every archetype at the time of SMF's dominance, a player would often find themselves with an unfavorable Pokémon in their active position. Furret's ''Scavenger Hunt'' Poké-Power could retrieve Warp Energy from the deck in such a situation, making Warp Energy effectively the same as a searchable {{TCG ID|Expedition|Switch|157}}.
* '''{{TCG|Neo Genesis|Recycle Energy|105}}''' - Some versions of SMF included Recycle Energy simply as a precaution against decks playing {{TCG|Energy Removal 2}}, or as a way to ensure that the deck never missed an Energy attachment after a Knock Out.
* '''{{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Darkness Energy|142}}''' - At the time, Darkness Energy's effect of adding 10 damage to attacks applied to all {{TCG|type}}s of Pokémon as opposed to only {{ct|Dark}}s. Thus, it consistently allowed Scizor to do more damage with its attacks.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Cress anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Cress in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Cress debuted in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' alongside his brothers, and fellow [[Gym Leader]]s {{an|Cilan}} and [[Chili]]. Along with Chili, he first appeared when Cilan brings {{Ash}} to the Gym, where he then proceeded to take his drink order. Ash declined, saying that he wanted to battle the Gym Leader, and as he got up to leave, Cress and his brothers introduced themselves as the leaders. They then led Ash to the battleground, where they introduced their individual Pokémon.

He was the second to battle Ash, and proceeded to defeat {{AP|Pikachu}}, despite his Panpour's type disadvantage. At the beginning of ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'', he and his brothers presented the {{Badge|Trio}} to Ash. Later, he and Chili said goodbye to Cilan, who had decided to travel with Ash and {{an|Iris}}.

He appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'', where he and Chili informed [[Burgundy]] that Cilan had gone on a journey and could not battle her again.

In ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love!]]'', Cress informed Cilan over the phone of the reason why Chili was not at the Gym. Contrary to what Chili had said, he had not left in order to study but had run away. Chili had asked him the night he ran away why he kept losing. Cress told him that he focused too much on offense while giving little consideration to defense. As he feared, Chili took it as an insult and ran away. Cress was pleased when Cilan told him he would help Chili with his battle style and help get his confidence back and thanked him for it.
[[File:Cilan Chili Cress young.png|thumb|250px|Young Cress with his brothers]]

Cress appeared in a fantasy along with [[Chili]] in ''[[BW099|A Surface to Air Tag Battle Team!]]'' and in a flashback in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''. He also made cameo appearances in the ending [[Let's Join Hands]] and in the ending credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

In ''[[BW140|Survival of the Striaton Gym!]]'', it was revealed that Cress, as well as Chili, had lost to [[Morana]], and had Cilan not defeated her, they would have lost the Striaton Gym. After Cilan's victory, he returned to Striaton City alongside Chili.

====Character====
Cress, like his brothers, tends to speak about Pokémon in relation to their element, in this case, water. Unlike his brothers, Cress tends to speak about himself in third-person in the Japanese version. All the brothers tend to use hand positions like rock, paper, and scissors—in Cress's case, he tends to accentuate words with his fingers.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Cilan Cress Chili Adventures.png|thumb|260px|Cress in Pokémon Adventures]]
Cress, along with brothers Chili and Cilan, are the triplet Gym Leaders of the Striaton Gym. Although they each got their Gym Leader job individually, they were assigned to one Gym. It is later revealed that they were given the shared job to help teach newer Trainers about type advantages. Due to the type they each specialize in, it was the perfect job for them.

Cress and his brothers are first seen in {{adv|Black}}'s imagination as he sets out on his journey to beat the Pokémon League. Cress later appears in person at the Striaton Gym with his brothers. With the help of his Panpour, Cress serves tea to Black to signal the start of their Gym battle against the challenger. Although only Black challenged the Gym, the brothers allow his friends, {{adv|Cheren}} and {{adv|Bianca}}, to challenge it as well. After Black, Cheren, and Bianca clear the Gym challenge, they face the Striaton triplets in a battle. Due to the type advantage their Pokémon have over their opponents, Cress and his brothers prove to be powerful Trainers. Despite the clear advantage they had over their opponents, Cress and his brothers are defeated when Black has his [[Tep]] use Pansage's fallen leaves to revive his teammates, allowing them to win the battle 3 to 2. Having lost the battle, Cress presents the challengers with the {{Badge|Trio}}. Sometime later, Cress and his brothers prepare to head out to an unknown location.

The brothers later confront the [[Shadow Triad]] near the [[P2 Laboratory]]. They reveal that even though they weren't at Nacrene City during the Dark Stone incident, they were assigned to follow their enemies if the other Gym Leaders were defeated. The Shadow Triad prove to be very powerful foes, and even after evolving their Pokémon, Cress and his brothers still weren't strong enough to defeat them. Suddenly, the Gym Leaders are saved by {{p|Keldeo}}, who had been watching the battle with its mentors. Believing that the Striaton Gym Leaders to be the better humans, Keldeo attacks the Shadow Triad. Before it can continue, the Shadow Triad attack Keldeo and trap it. Keldeo's mentors, {{DL|Swords of Justice (Adventures)|Cobalion}}, {{DL|Swords of Justice (Adventures)|Virizion}}, and {{DL|Swords of Justice (Adventures)|Terrakion}} jump down to save it by attacking the Shadow Triad along with Cress, Cilan, and Chili.

He, like his brothers, tends to move his arms in a certain position. In Cress's case, they are kept crossed in front of his chest.

|desc={{p|Simipour}} is Cress's only known Pokémon that first appeared as a {{p|Panpour}}. Along with being his main Pokémon, Simipour assists Cress and his brothers in the kitchen by pouring water for tea. It, as a Panpour, was used against Black, Cheren, and Bianca in a Gym battle. Despite proving powerful, they are defeated after the time limit ends after Chili's Pansear is defeated, making the challengers' win with 3 to 2.

Later, it was used to battle the [[Shadow Triad]] in a Triple Battle. Although the battle was tough, Panpour was given a [[Water Stone]], enabling it to evolve into a Simipour to become stronger. Despite this power up, it was still being defeated before {{DL|Swords of Justice (Adventures)|Cobalion}}, {{DL|Swords of Justice (Adventures)|Terrakion}}, and {{DL|Swords of Justice (Adventures)|Virizion}}, attacked both groups to rescue the [[Kelden|Keldeo]] the Shadow Triad had captured.}}

===In the Pocket Monsters BW Good Partners manga===
[[File:Cress BWGP.png|thumb|220px|Cress in Pocket Monsters BW Good Partners]]
Cress first appeared in [[BWGP03]]. Aside from being a Gym Leader, he was a teacher in a Trainers' School located in [[Striaton City]]. When [[Takurō]] and [[Mashiro]] went to the school, Cress told them about [[Bado]] and explained as to who he was. [[Professor Juniper]] had him teach the two about the basics of Pokémon while they were there. He gave them an assignment to do. While Mashiro was able to finish it, Takurō had to stay behind.

[[BWGP04|Later]], he appeared in Takurō's flashback where he advised him to go to [[Wellspring Cave]] in order to go to the next town as going to different places is an important part of being a Trainer.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
In {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}}, Cress appears along with his brothers Cilan and Chili. They are seen in [[PMBW02]], where {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and his Pokémon visit a restaurant owned by the three brothers. {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} tries to instigate a fight between the brothers, but fails on many occasions.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Chili anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Chili in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Chili debuted in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' alongside his brothers, and fellow Gym Leaders {{an|Cilan}} and [[Cress]]. Along with Cress, he made his first appearance when Cilan brought {{Ash}} to the Gym. He began offering Ash various items off the lunch menu, who then declined exclaiming he wanted to battle the [[Gym Leader]]. Chili and his brothers then introduced themselves as the leaders. They then lead Ash to the battleground where they revealed their Pokémon. Chili was the first to battle Ash, and lost against his {{AP|Tepig}}.

In ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'', Chili and his brothers presented Ash with the {{Badge|Trio}} and later when he and Cress said their goodbyes to Cilan, who decided to travel with Ash and {{an|Iris}}.

Cilan mentioned in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'' that [[Trip]] had battled Chili and defeated his {{p|Pansear}} with his {{TP|Trip|Servine}}, earning himself the Trio Badge. He appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'', where he and Cress informed [[Burgundy]] that Cilan had gone on a journey and could not battle her again, so he battled her in Cilan's place and was defeated.

Chili met up with Cilan, Ash, and Iris in ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love!]]'', where he challenged Cilan to a battle. However, his Pansear was quickly defeated by [[Cilan's Pansage]]. Angered, Chili blamed the loss on Pansear, and Pansear ran away. Chili left to relieve his frustration by stuffing his face when Cilan approached him and offered to help, after learning from Cress that Chili's role as Gym Leader has suffered because of all the above consecutive losses. Chili apologized to Pansear and helped it try to learn {{m|Solar Beam}}. After successfully learning the move, his Pansear had a battle with Ash and {{AP|Oshawott}} and won. Chili thanked his brother for his help, and they went their separate ways.

[[file:Cilan Chili Cress young.png|thumb|250px|Young Chili with his brothers]]

Chili reappeared in a fantasy along with [[Cress]] in ''[[BW099|A Surface to Air Tag Battle Team!]]''. He also reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'', and ''[[BW126|Crowning the Scalchop King!]]''. In addition, Chili made cameo appearances in the ending [[Let's Join Hands]] and in the ending credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

In ''[[BW140|Survival of the Striaton Gym!]]'', Chili and Cress journeyed to [[Paladin Island]] and appealed to Cilan to protect the Striaton Gym by defeating [[Morana]]. Chili had rashly wagered ownership of the Gym on Morana's victory over all three brothers in response to her accusations of his being afraid. He then returned to Striaton City once Cilan had defeated Morana.

====Character====
Chili, like his brothers, tends to speak about Pokémon in relation to their element. In Chili's case, his element is {{t|fire}} and so he often talks about his fiery passion when battling. His personality also fits this motif, as Chili can be described as hotheaded and reckless. All the brothers use hand positions like rock, paper, and scissors - Chili tends to accentuate words with his fists.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Cilan Cress Chili Adventures.png|right|thumb|260px|Chili in Pokémon Adventures]]
Chili, along with brothers Cilan and Cress, are the triplet Gym Leaders of the Striaton Gym. Although they each got their Gym Leader job individually, they were assigned to one Gym. It is later revealed that they were given the shared job to help teach newer Trainers about type advantages. Due to the type they each specialize in, it was the perfect job for them.

Chili and his brothers are first seen in {{adv|Black}}'s imagination as he sets out on his journey to beat the Pokémon League. Chili later appears in person at the Striaton Gym with his brothers. With the help of his Pansear, Chili serves tea to Black to signal the start of their Gym battle against the challenger. Although only Black challenged the Gym, Chili allow his friends, {{adv|Cheren}} and {{adv|Bianca}}, to challenge it as well. After Black, Cheren, and Bianca clear the Gym challenge, they face the Striaton triplets in a battle. Due to the type advantage their Pokémon have over their opponents, Chili and his brothers prove to be powerful Trainers. Despite the clear advantage they had over their opponents, Chili is the only one to have his Pokémon defeated in battle. Because of this, when Black's [[Tep]] uses Cilan's Pansage's leaves to revive his teammates, the challengers win the battle 3 to 2 when the time runs out. Having lost the battle, Chili presents the challengers with the {{Badge|Trio}}. Sometime later, Chili and his brothers prepare to head out to an unknown location.

The brothers later confront the [[Shadow Triad]] near the [[P2 Laboratory]]. They reveal that even though they weren't at Nacrene City during the Dark Stone incident, they were assigned to follow their enemies if the other Gym Leaders were defeated. The Shadow Triad prove to be very powerful foes, and even after evolving their Pokémon, Chili and his brothers still weren't strong enough to defeat them. Suddenly, the Gym Leaders are saved by [[Kelden|Keldeo]], who had been watching the battle with its mentors. Believing that the Striaton Gym Leaders to be the better humans, Keldeo attacks the Shadow Triad. Before it can continue, the Shadow Triad attack Keldeo and trap it. Keldeo's mentors, {{DL|Swords of Justice (Adventures)|Cobalion}}, {{DL|Swords of Justice (Adventures)|Virizion}}, and {{DL|Swords of Justice (Adventures)|Terrakion}} jump down to save it by attacking the Shadow Triad along with Chili, Cress, and Cilan.

He, like his brothers, tends to move his arms in a certain position. In Chili's case, they are placed on his hips.

Along with being his main Pokémon, Simisear assists Chili and his brothers in the kitchen by boiling water for tea. It, as a Pansear, was used against Black, Cheren, and Bianca in a Gym battle. Despite proving powerful, Pansear was defeated by a water-soaked scalchop and was the only one to be knocked out. This loss causes the challengers to win with 3 to 2 after the time limit expired.

Later, it was used to battle the [[Shadow Triad]] in a Triple Battle. Although the battle was tough, Pansear was given a Fire Stone, enabling it to evolve into a Simisear to become stronger.}}

'''RAMBO''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} that saw success during the 2003-2004 season. Its name is derived from important components of the deck ([[Rayquaza ex (EX Dragon 97)|'''R'''ayquaza ex]], [[Team Aqua's Manectric (EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua 4)|Team '''A'''qua's '''M'''anectric]], [[Blaziken (EX Ruby & Sapphire 3)|'''B'''laziken]]) and its strategy ({{tt|'''O'''HKO|one-hit knock out}}). Prior to the release of {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} in March of 2004, the deck was known as '''BAR'''. The deck functioned identically, but with {{TCG ID|Expedition|Ampharos|2}} from {{TCG|Expedition}} serving the function of the not-yet released Team Aqua's Manectric, and a higher Rayquaza ex count compensating for the lack of {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Blaziken ex|89}}. ''BAR'' stood for '''B'''laziken '''A'''mpharos '''R'''ayquaza. Though Rambo saw less play toward the end of the season due to the release of {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Gorebyss|18}}, {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Walrein|15}}, and others in the {{TCG|EX Hidden Legends}} expansion, [[Chris Fulop]] piloted a variant of RAMBO (which he called {{TCG|Blaziken Tech}}) to the finals of the {{TCG|2004 World Championships}}.

==Strategy==
[[File:DelcattyEXRubySapphire5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|EX Ruby & Sapphire|Delcatty|5}}]]
RAMBO's strategy employed a number of components, with the end goal being utilizing {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Blaziken ex|89}}'s ''Volcanic Ash'' and {{TCG|EX Dragon|Rayquaza ex|97}}'s ''Spiral Growth'' attacks to take six prize cards as quickly as possible. Though both of these were very strong attacks in isolation, they each required significant Energy discards, which necessitated a form of Energy acceleration from the discard pile. Coincidentally (given that Blaziken ex already required {{TCG|Combusken}} and {{TCG|Torchic}}), {{TCG ID|EX Ruby & Sapphire|Blaziken|3}}'s ''Firestarter'' met that demand perfectly. However, given that ''Firestarter'' could only attach to Benched Pokémon meant that the deck needed a way to either move that Pokémon active or a way to move the Energy to the Active Pokémon. Some variants of the deck decided to go the former route and included heavy counts of cards like {{TCG|Switch}} and {{TCG|Warp Point}}. The list shown, though, uses {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua's Manectric|4}} to move the Energy from ''Firestarter'' back to the Active Pokémon via its ''Power Shift'' Poké-POWER.

Because RAMBO relied on so many different cards to function, it required a lot of room devoted to consistency cards. {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Dunsparce|60}}'s ''Strike and Run'' attack was imperative to getting the necessary {{TCG|Evolution card|Evolution cards}} in play early in the game. From there, the player would typically seek to evolve {{TCG ID|EX Ruby & Sapphire|Skitty|44}} into {{TCG ID|EX Ruby & Sapphire|Delcatty|5}} and {{TCG ID|EX Ruby & Sapphire|Torchic|74}} into {{TCG ID|EX Ruby & Sapphire|Combusken|27}} (or directly into Blaziken via {{TCG|Rare Candy}}). Getting Team Aqua's Manectric into play was typically less urgent, because it was not necessary until the player was consistently attacking for damage with Rayquaza ex or Blaziken ex. Delcatty's ''Energy Draw'', particularly in combination with {{TCG|Oracle}}, helped the player get the Evolutions and Energy they needed after getting Basic Pokémon into play with Dunsparce. Other {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporter cards}} such as {{TCG|Steven's Advice}} and {{TCG|Copycat}} further helped with consistency.

==Key cards==
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Ruby & Sapphire|Blaziken|3}}''' - Blaziken's ''Firestarter'' {{TCG|Poké-POWER}}, which allowed the user to attach a {{e|Fire}} Energy from the discard to one of their benched Pokémon, provided a way to charge up both Blaziken ex and Rayquaza ex easily. Since both of their attacks, along with Delcatty's ''Energy Draw'', discarded Energy, ''Firestarter'' was critical to maintaining a steady stream of attacks. Blaziken also served as a decent attacker in a pinch, or against decks utilizing Pokémon such as {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Wobbuffet|26}} with the ''Safeguard'' {{TCG|Poké-BODY}}.
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Ruby & Sapphire|Delcatty|5}}''' - Delcatty's ''Energy Draw'' Poké-POWER provided consistency, with the added effect of placing Energy in the discard for retrieval via ''Firestarter''.
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua's Manectric|4}}''' - ''Firestarter'' only allowed the user to attach Energy to a Benched Pokémon; by attaching that Energy to Team Aqua's Manectric, the RAMBO player could then use Team Aqua's Manectric's ''Power Shift'' to move the Energy to an active Blaziken ex or Rayquaza ex and continue attacking. Team Aqua's Manectric also served as a valuable attacker against {{TCG|Swampert/Suicune}} (officially titled ''{{TCG|Rocky Beach}}'' in its World Championships printing), another popular archetype of the era. {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua's Electrike|53}}'s ''Self Charge'' attack made it possible to attack with Team Aqua's Manectric as early as the user's second turn. A player in a Water-dominated metagame may have elected to utilize two copies each of Team Aqua's Electrike and Manectric, as opposed to the 1-1 line shown in the list below.
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Blaziken ex|89}}''' - Blaziken ex's ''Volcanic Ash'' attack was extremely powerful at the time; for a cost of {{e|Fire}}{{e|Fire}}{{e|Colorless}}{{e|Colorless}}, ''Volcanic Ash'' could hit any Pokémon on the opponent's field for 100 damage. Though it required the user to discard two Fire Energy attached to Blaziken ex, those Energy could be reused with ''Firestarter'' and moved back to Blaziken ex with ''Power Shift'', allowing for consecutive uses of ''Volcanic Ash''.
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Dragon|Rayquaza ex|97}}''' - Rayquaza's ''Spiral Growth'' attack, similar to ''Volcanic Ash'', was very strong but required the discard of Energy to be effective. Again, ''Firestarter'' and ''Power Shift'' made it possible to use ''Spiral Growth'' for large damage repeatedly.
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Dunsparce|60}}''' - Because the deck was reliant on a number of different Evolution lines, Dunsparce's ''Strike and Run'' attack was critical to get the necessary {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} in play early in the game.
* '''{{TCG|Oracle}}''' - When used in conjunction with Delcatty's ''Energy Draw'' Poké-POWER, Oracle effectively allowed the user to search their deck for any two cards and add them to their hand. Because RAMBO relied on so many different parts to function, this provided a valuable boost to consistency.

''The following cards were sometimes used in RAMBO in place of certain cards included in the above list.''
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Bellossom|16}}''' - [[Chris Fulop]] used Bellossom in his 2nd place {{TCG|2004 World Championships}} RAMBO variant. According to Fulop, Bellossom: 1) provided a hard counter to {{TCG|Walrein/Milotic}} which saw success at the U.S. National Championships; 2) replaced the {{TCG|Stadium card|Stadiums}} necessary to counter {{TCG|Desert Ruins}} (a widely-played card that proved disastrous for RAMBO under normal circumstances), and took up less space in doing so; 3) swung the mirror match in his favor by allowing his Blaziken to survive longer; and 4) was a great counter to the {{TCG|Magma archetype}} piloted by the Japanese. (Despite this, Fulop lost to a Magma deck piloted by [[Tsuguyoshi Yamato]] in the finals of the tournament.)
* '''{{TCG|Professor Oak's Research}}''' - Professor Oak's Research provided Supporter-based consistency, and could be substituted for {{TCG|TV Reporter}}, {{TCG|Steven's Advice}}, or {{TCG|Copycat}}.
* '''{{TCG|Desert Shaman}}''' - Desert Shaman had the potential to serve several purposes. It could function as a general consistency card, though it only netted the player four cards, making it largely inferior to TV Reporter, Steven's Advice, and Copycat. However, it also dropped the opponent to four cards, and therefore could grant the user card advantage if they already had some means to external consistency (such as {{TCG ID|EX Ruby & Sapphire|Delcatty|5}}'s ''Power Draw'') when the opponent did not. Finally, Desert Shaman could keep the user's hand low against {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Gardevoir ex|96}}-based decks, minimizing the damage done by Gardevoir ex's ''Feedback''.
* '''{{TCG|Pokémon Nurse}}''' - Because the main attackers in RAMBO discarded Energy cards to use their attacks, they often did not have many Energy attacked. Thus, the main downside of using Pokémon Nurse (discarding Energy attached to the targeted Pokémon) was often a non-issue.
* '''{{TCG|Town Volunteers}}''' - Town Volunteers provided a means to recover Pokémon and Energy from the discard pile. Town Volunteers was more prevalent in RAMBO lists than ran thin lines of the deck's supporting Pokémon, such as a 1-1 {{TCG ID|EX Ruby & Sapphire|Delcatty|5}}, a 1-1 {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua's Manectric|4}} (shown in the above list), or only one {{TCG ID|EX Dragon|Rayquaza ex|97}}.
* '''{{TCG|Professor Elm's Training Method}}''' - Given that RAMBO relied heavily on Evolution lines, Professor Elm's Training Method provided search-based consistency for those who were willing to cut back on the possible explosiveness of draw-based consistency (such as Steven's Advice) in favor of a slower but more deliberate engine.
* '''{{TCG|Mr. Briney's Compassion}}''' - Mr. Briney's Compassion would have provided a similar effect as Professor Elm's Training Method.
* '''{{TCG|Archie}}''' - Archie provided a simple, consistent way to get into play. However, relying on Archie removed the user's ability to use {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua's Electrike|53}}'s ''Self Charge'' attack, an occasionally useful resource for getting Energy cards into play.
* '''{{TCG|Friend Ball}}''' - Friend Ball, a little-used but interesting option, was particularly useful for retrieving {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Dunsparce|60}} early in the game, as most decks of the era relied on ''Strike and Run'' to set up. Many decks also used Delcatty lines, and one could expect to play against opposing Blaziken decks often, as well.
* '''{{TCG|Power Plant}}''' - Power Plant was useful as a means to retrieve {{TCG|Lightning Energy}}, of which the deck ran few, while placing {{TCG|Fire Energy}} into the discard for later use with ''Firestarter''. It also provided a counter to Desert Ruins.
* '''{{TCG|Warp Energy}}''' - Because ''Firestarter'' could only attach to Benched Pokémon, the RAMBO player needed a way to continually either move those Energy cards to the Active Pokémon or to move the attacking Pokémon to the Bench prior to using the Poké-POWER (and then subsequently back to the Active position). Though this demand was typically covered by Team Aqua's Manectric, Warp Energy (along with {{TCG|Switch}} or {{TCG|Warp Point}}) could be necessary if Team Aqua's Manectric was Knocked Out or prized.

MetaByss (TCG)

|types={{e|Water}}{{e|Psychic}}{{e|Metal}}{{e|Colorless}}
|era=2004
}}
'''MetaByss''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} that saw success toward the end of the 2003-2004 season, after the release of {{TCG|EX Hidden Legends}} in June 2004. Its name is a blend of {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Metagross|11}} and {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Gorebyss|18}}, the deck's two main attackers. MetaByss was one of several popular deck archetypes of the era to include Gorebyss, the others being {{TCG|CroByss}}; {{TCG|Jumpluff/Gorebyss}}; and a number of decks focusing on {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon|Stage 1}} attackers. 

==Strategy==
The prime reason {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Metagross|11}} and {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Gorebyss|18}} were used in tandem was not for any inherent synergy in their effects, but in their {{TCG|Type|typing}}. Together, they covered each other's {{TCG|Weakness|Weaknesses}} and were able to take advantage of the Weaknesses of many other attackers of the era. Furthermore, each were capable of abusing {{TCG|Double Rainbow Energy}} to attack faster. As a dual {{TCG|Psychic}}/{{TCG|Metal|Metal-type}}, Metagross attacked for increased damage against popular Pokémon such as {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Walrein|15}}, {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Gardevoir ex|96}}, and {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Crobat|3}} (a frequent fixture in other Gorebyss decks). Metagross was weak to {{TCG|Fire}}, which was problematic due to the prevalence of {{TCG ID|EX Ruby & Sapphire|Blaziken|3}} and {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Blaziken ex|89}} in the metagame (although the latter was also weak to Metagross itself), so Gorebyss served to counter Fire-types.

Although the primary goal of the deck was simple (attack as soon and as often as possible with either Metagross or Gorebyss, depending on the matchup), there was no clear-cut path on how to optimally accomplish this. A particular area of contention involved which {{TCG|Beldum}} to use. There were three options: [[Beldum (EX Hidden Legends 28)]], [[Beldum (EX Hidden Legends 29)]], and [[Beldum (EX Hidden Legends 54)]]. The first had a {{TCG|Poké-BODY}}, ''Levitate'', that granted it free retreat if it had any {{TCG|Energy card|Energy}} attached. This was useful both in tandem with a starter Pokémon such as {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Dunsparce|60}} or {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Jirachi|8}}, as it provides a way to easily retreat Beldum and attack with a preferable Pokémon instead. ''Levitate'' was particularly useful given Metagross's ''Metal Juncture'' {{TCG|Poké-POWER}}, which could be used to move {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Metal Energy|19}} used to retreat off of Beldum and onto an attacking Metagross later in the game. The second Beldum, numbered 29, had a Poké-POWER called ''Magnetic Call'' that allowed the user to flip a coin once during their turn, and (upon a successful flip) search their deck for another Beldum and place it onto the Bench. The third Beldum, numbered 54, had a ''Call for Family'' attack for a cost of {{e|Colorless}}, which searched the deck for one {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} and placed it onto the user's Bench. Unlike the other two Beldum, which were {{TCG|Metal|Metal-type}}, this Beldum was {{TCG|Psychic|Psychic-type}} and thus not weak to Fire, giving it greater staying power against Blaziken-based decks.

MetaByss lists also often differed in their choice of starting Pokémon. Like most decks of the era, MetaByss often relied on Dunsparce's ''Strike and Run'' attack to set up, but a more aggressive player may have felt that Dunsparce was redundant when included in a deck already running either the ''Magnetic Call'' or ''Call for Family'' Beldum and opted to run {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Jirachi|8}} instead. The list below runs both, making it less consistent but more versatile.

==Key cards==
[[File:DunsparceEXSandstorm60.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Dunsparce|60}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Metagross|11}}''' - Metagross was one of the deck's two main attackers. Pending favorable coin flips, it was capable of doing large amounts of damage with its ''Squared Attack'', as well as abusing the effects of both [[Metal Energy (Neo Genesis 19)|Special Metal Energy]] and {{TCG|Double Rainbow Energy}}.
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Gorebyss|18}}''' - Gorebyss, the deck's other primary attacker, served as a hard counter to {{TCG ID|EX Ruby & Sapphire|Blaziken|3}} and {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Blaziken ex|89}}.
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Dunsparce|60}}''' - Dunsparce was the deck's ideal starter Pokémon. With its ''Strike and Run'' attack, Dunsparce could instantly give the player a strong setup; most decks of the time relied on Dunsparce early in the game.
* '''[[Metal Energy (Neo Genesis 19)|Special Metal Energy]]''' - Special Metal Energy reduced 10 damage done by attacks to the {{TCG|Metal|Metal-type}} Pokémon it was attached to. Thus, a Metagross with one or more Metal Energy attached was difficult for many decks to Knock Out in one or even two attacks.
* '''{{TCG|Double Rainbow Energy}}''' - Double Rainbow Energy provided a way to power up either Metagross's ''Metal Juncture'' or Gorebyss's ''Mystic Water'' in fewer turns than usual.

''The following cards were often used in MetaByss in place of certain cards included in the above list.''
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Metagross ex|95}}''' - While Metagross ex was incapable of hitting {{TCG|Psychic}}-weak Pokémon like its non-ex counterpart, and gave up two [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Prize Card|Prize Cards]] when Knocked Out, some MetaByss players chose to include it as a way to deal surefire damage without the coin flips the non-ex Metagross required to attack.
* '''{{TCG|Magnetic Storm}}''' - Although Psychic-type Resistances were uncommon at the time, a MetaByss player playing in an unusual metagame may have wished to include one or two copies of Magnetic Storm.
* '''{{TCG|Ancient Tomb}}''' - Ancient Tomb, which negated the Weaknesses of each Pokémon in play, may seem counterintuitive given MetaByss' focus on taking advantage of opposing Weaknesses. However, it was useful against the {{TCG|Aqua archetype}}, which saw occasional play, and made it safer to use {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Metagross|11}} as an attacker in a pinch against {{TCG|Fire|Fire-type}} decks.
* '''{{TCG|Wally's Training}}''' - Wally's Training was favored by some as a search {{TCG|Supporter}} over (or in conjunction with) {{TCG|Professor Elm's Training Method}}. They served effectively the same purpose.
* '''{{TCG|Mr. Briney's Compassion}}''' - For many decks, a Metagross with one or more [[Metal Energy (Neo Genesis 19)|Special Metal Energy]] attached could prove difficult to Knock Out in one or even two attacks. Mr. Briney's Compassion allowed the MetaByss player to pick up a damaged Metagross, both preventing the opponent from taking a Prize card and preserving the Special Metal Energy.
* '''{{TCG|Professor Oak's Research}}''' - Some players preferred utilizing Professor Oak's Research over Copycat and/or Professor Birch.
* '''{{TCG|Pokémon Retriever}}''' - Pokémon Retriever served as a means to recover attackers from the discard, and was a staple in most decks after its release in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}.
* '''{{TCG|Celio's Network}}''' - Upon its release in {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}}, Celio's Network replaced Professor Elm's Training Method and/or Wally's Training in most decks based around non-ex Pokémon.

Charizard archetype (TCG)

2019-09-20T18:16:12Z

Lordfridge: made pronouns neutral

{{ArchetypeInfobox
|title=Charizard
|image=CharizardArceus1.jpg
|image2=NinetalesHeartGoldSoulSilver7.jpg
|caption={{TCG ID|Arceus|Charizard|1}} and {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Ninetales|7}}

|types={{e|Fire}}
|era=2010-2011
}}
'''Charizard''' was a semi-competitive {{TCG|deck archetype}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. Upon the release of the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion in late 2009, players recognized {{TCG ID|Arceus|Charizard|1}} as a potentially decent attacker and attempted to make a deck around it. It was moderately successful, placing well at a number of small tournaments over the course of its existence. Probably the most notable reason for the Charizard archetype's playability was its strong draw engine based around {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Ninetales|7}} from {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, giving it above-average consistency.

==Strategy==
Charizard's straightforward strategy relied on getting as many {{TCG ID|Arceus|Charizard|1}}, {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Ninetales|7}}, and [[Typhlosion (HeartGold & SoulSilver 110)|Typhlosion Prime]] in play as quickly as possible. The deck did not have a designated starter Pokémon, and {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Unown Q|49}} was capable of rectifying any unfavorable start. Since Ninetales provided the deck's drawpower with its ''Roast Reveal'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}}, a Charizard player would often aim to get at least one Ninetales in play before expending resources to get up Charizard or Typhlosion Prime. From there, Charizard was capable of knocking out most Pokémon in one or two hits with ''Fire Wing'' or ''Burning Tail'', and Typhlosion Prime's ''Afterburner'' made it easy to keep energy in play and swarm attackers.

==Key Cards==
* '''{{TCG ID|Arceus|Charizard|1}}''' - Charizard's viability as an attacker stemmed from its ''Fire Formation'' Poké-Body, which made Charizard's attacks deal 10 more damage for each {{TCG|Fire|Fire-type}} Pokémon on the player's bench. With a bench full of Fire-type Pokémon, ''Fire Wing'' did 80 damage for only {{e|Fire}}, and ''Burning Tail'' did 130 damage for {{e|Fire}}{{e|Fire}}{{e|Colorless}}.
* '''[[Typhlosion (HeartGold & SoulSilver 110)|Typhlosion Prime]]''' - ''Burning Tail'', Charizard's second attack, required the player using it to discard one {{e|Fire}} Energy attached to Charizard. Typhlosion Prime's ''Afterburner'' Poké-Power could reattach that Energy to any Pokémon in play at the cost of placing one damage counter on it. Ninetales' ''Roast Reveal'' Poké-Power, and {{TCG|Junk Arm}} in later variants of the deck, also could discard Energy for later attachment through ''Afterburner''. Typhlosion Prime could also provide a powerful backup attacker in a pinch, with ''Flare Destroy''. Although ''Flare Destroy'' did less damage than ''Burning Tail'' for the same energy cost, it had the added effect (situationally) of discarding an energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon. Against decks without energy acceleration, this could make it difficult for an opponent to build up enough energies to attack.
* '''{{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Ninetales|7}}''' - ''Main article: [[Engine (TCG)#Ninetales Roast Reveal engine|''Roast Reveal'' engine]]
* '''{{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}/{{TCG|Roseanne's Research}}''' - These two {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporters}} served essentially the same purpose, allowing the Charizard player to search Basic Pokémon out of their deck. Since the archetype needed at least three different evolved Pokémon in play to function ideally ({{TCG ID|Arceus|Charizard|1}}, [[Typhlosion (HeartGold & SoulSilver 110)|Typhlosion Prime]], and {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Ninetales|7}}), getting their respective Basic Pokémon in play quickly was vital.
* '''{{TCG|Rare Candy}}''' - The Charizard archetype focused primarily on two {{TCG|Stage 2 Pokémon}} into play. Rare Candy provided a means to do this more quickly. Since Charizard existed prior to the rules change at the advent of the [[Modified format (TCG)|2011-2012 modified format]], it was possible to utilize Rare Candy to evolve on a player's first turn. This allowed for occasional {{tt|donks|turn-one wins}} with ''Fire Wing''.
* '''{{TCG|Broken Time-Space}}''' - Broken Time-Space served much the same purpose in the deck as Rare Candy. Rather than skipping an evolution stage, though, it permitted a player to evolve multiple times in a single turn.

==Possible Tech Cards==
[[File:JunkArmTriumphant87.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG|Junk Arm}}]]
* '''{{TCG|Junk Arm}}''' - After its release, Junk Arm was considered a staple in Charizard, along with most other archetypes. However, the above variant does not include Junk Arm, as it is based on an early version of the deck. Junk Arm's extreme usefulness stemmed not only from its ability to retrieve any {{TCG|Trainer card}} from the player's discard pile, but also because it allowed the player to discard any two cards from their hand. [[Typhlosion (HeartGold & SoulSilver 110)|Typhlosion Prime]] was the deck's main source of energy acceleration and only functioned if there were {{TCG|Fire Energy}} in the discard. Thus, by giving the player the option to discard Fire Energy, Junk Arm indirectly contributed to the deck's ability to attach additional Energy quickly.
* '''{{TCG|Poké Healer +}}''' - Because both of Charizard's attackers (Charizard and Typhlosion Prime) had a high amount of hit points, they were unlikely to be knocked out in one attack. Thus, Poké Healer + would often have the opportunity to heal a large amount of damage off one of them. This in turn allowed for more attacks before a Pokémon was knocked out.

The deck centered around the synergy between {{TCG|Stormfront}} {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Gengar|18}} and {{TCG|Undaunted}} {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Vileplume|24}}. {{TCG ID|Arceus|Spiritomb|32}} from {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} was used to set up, Gengar was used to attack, and Vileplume was used to keep a continuous {{TCG|Trainer}} lock on the opponent. The deck placed well in numerous [[Play! Pokémon#Battle Road tournaments|Battle Road]] tournaments at the beginning of the 2010-2011 season.

==Strategy==
[[File:SpiritombArceus32.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Arceus|Spiritomb|32}}]]
{{TCG ID|Arceus|Spiritomb|32}} was the deck's ideal opening Pokémon. It prevented both players from playing {{TCG|Trainer card}}s with its ''Keystone Seal'' Poké-Body, while at the same time evolving the VileGar player's Benched Pokémon with ''Darkness Grace''. If the deck opened with Spiritomb and got {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Vileplume|24}} out quickly, it typically prevented the opponent from playing Trainer cards through the entirety of the game. {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Gastly|62}} provided a slightly inferior, though still good, start, since it could also prevent the opponent from playing Trainer cards through its ''Pitch Dark'' attack. Essentially, VileGar's modus operandi early in the game was to slow down the opponent while setting up through a strong {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporter}} engine.

The deck utilized a combination of drawing effects, such as {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}} and {{TCG|Professor Oak's New Theory}}, in combination with searching effects, such as {{TCG|Bebe's Search}} and {{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}, to get out at least one Vileplume and {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Gengar|18}} in play as soon as possible. Vileplume kept the Trainer lock on with its ''Allergy Flower'' Poké-Body, while Gengar was the deck's main attacker. Its synergy with Vileplume stemmed from its ''Poltergeist'' attack, which, for {{e|Psychic}}{{e|Colorless}}, did 30 damage to the Defending Pokémon for each Trainer, {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporter}}, and {{TCG|Stadium card}} in the opponent's hand. Since ''Allergy Flower'' prevented the opponent from playing Trainers, they were often forced to hold them in hand, allowing ''Poltergeist'' to do a large amount of damage.

==Key Cards==
[[File:BrokenTimeSpacePlatinum104.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG|Broken Time-Space}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Gengar|18}}''' - Gengar was the deck's main attacker. Since Spiritomb and Vileplume caused the opponent to accumulate {{TCG|Trainer card}}s in their hand, Gengar's ''Poltergeist'' attack could do a tremendous amount of damage. Additionally, Gengar was often able to take easy prizes off the opponent's bench with ''Shadow Room'' which, for {{e|Psychic}}, placed six damage counters on an opponent's Pokémon that {{tt|had any Poké-Powers|or three damage counters on a Pokémon without}}. Gengar also possessed the ''Fainting Spell'' Poké-Power, which allows a 50% chance that an opponent's Pokémon knocking out Gengar will be knocked out as well.
* '''{{TCG ID|Undaunted|Vileplume|24}}''' - Vileplume slowed the opponent by preventing them from playing Trainer cards. It also allowed for Gengar to do more damage with ''Poltergeist'' by forcing the opponent to build up Trainer cards in their hand.
* '''{{TCG ID|Arceus|Spiritomb|32}}''' - Spiritomb was the deck's ideal start, and, by preventing the opponent from playing Trainer cards with its ''Keystone Seal'' Poké-Body, provided the VileGar player with ample time to set up. For no energy cost, Spiritomb could also use ''Darkness Grace'' to evolve Benched Pokémon. In a deck running two large evolution lines, this was a highly beneficial effect.
* '''{{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}''' - Pokémon Collector was critical early in the game, since it allowed the VileGar player to search out several Basic Pokémon with which to either assist with set up or begin evolving immediately. Often, a bad start could be rectified through Pokémon Collector by searching out {{TCG ID|Arceus|Spiritomb|32}}, {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Unown Q|49}}, and either {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Gastly|62}} or {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Oddish|60}}. If the VileGar player started with Spiritomb, Pokémon Collector was generally used to search for {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Gastly|62}}, {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Oddish|60}}, and {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}.
* '''{{TCG|Broken Time-Space}}''' - VileGar invariably ran a low count of {{TCG|Rare Candy}}, as Spiritomb and Vileplume blocked its use, so Broken Time-Space was the deck's most reliable method of quick evolution. As a result, most VileGar builds ran 2-2-2 and 4-3-3 lines as opposed to the 2-1-2 and 4-2-3 lines run in many Stage 2-centric decks.
* '''{{TCG|Call Energy}}''' - Call Energy was critical in allowing the VileGar player to set up as quickly as possible. Although it prevented the player from attacking with ''Darkness Grace'' or ''Pitch Dark'' early in the game, Call Energy provided a way to get Benched Pokémon. It served much the same purpose as Pokémon Collector.

==Possible Tech Cards==
[[File:MewtwoLVXLegendsAwakened144.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Mewtwo LV.X|144}}]]
''The following cards were often used in LuxChomp in place of certain cards included in the above list.''
* '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Mewtwo LV.X|144}}''' - Mewtwo LV.X was occasionally used as a tech in VileGar to provide a more certain way to win against {{TCG|LuxChomp}} and other {{TCG|Pokémon SP}}-based decks. However, a Mewtwo LV.X tech was uncommon, as VileGar generally had a favorable matchup against SP decks regardless.
* '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Azelf|19}}''' - Although Azelf, like Mewtwo LV.X, was an uncommon tech, it was occasionally used in conservative builds to deal with the unlikely occurrence that all of a needed card were prized.
* '''{{TCG ID|Platinum|Crobat G|47}}''' - Since VileGar's premise was based on a Trainer lock, {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-105 Poké Turn|Poké Turn}} was virtually never used in the deck. Hence, Crobat G was generally limited to one ''Flash Bite''. However, it was still sometimes used in the deck to put 70HP Pokémon, such as the common {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}, within range of {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Gengar|18}}'s ''Shadow Room'' attack.

'''Lysandre''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|フラダリ|Furadari}}''' ''Fuladari'') is the boss of [[Team Flare]] and the primary antagonist of [[Pokémon X and Y]], who seeks to create a new, beautiful world in his own image. He is also the owner of [[Lysandre Labs]], the company that created the [[Holo Caster]]. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Team Flare Boss''' (Japanese: '''フレアだんボス''' ''Team Flare Boss'').

==In the games==
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the player first meets Lysandre in [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab in [[Lumiose City]] seeing potential in them, and then later in Café Soleil where he is seen talking to [[Diantha]] about her acting career. He discusses with her about the idea of eternal beauty, but she quickly dismisses the idea, claiming that she does not look for such a thing, much to Lysandre's annoyance. After this, he spots the player, where he speaks about his dream of a beautiful world.

Following this, Lysandre doesn't reappear until much later, after the player has defeated [[Clemont]] for their fifth Badge. This time, he speaks about the [[AZ|king of Kalos]] who nearly vaporized all life in the region 3,000 years ago by usage of a weapon. He also speaks about Xerneas's{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal's{{sup/6|Y}} role in the creation of the [[ultimate weapon]], as well as their role in the creation of life and destruction as a whole. After this, Lysandre will regularly communicate with the player through the [[Holo Caster]], monitoring their progress, and constantly showing his vision for a beautiful world as well as asking him/her to reconsider his proposal and join him on his cause.

Lysandre then appears after the player has received their seventh Badge. At this point, it is revealed through his Holo Caster message that he is the leader of [[Team Flare]], and that he plans to use the weapon which he spoke about earlier in order to eliminate anyone not part of Team Flare, surprising both the player and their neighbor. The player later confronts Lysandre in person at the lab beneath his café as he wishes to test the player's resolve, and is then battled and defeated. Lysandre admires the player's resolve and strength and instructs him that if he wishes to stop him, he must get the elevator key from one of four Team Flare's scientists the player already met, while he retreats underground.

After the player obtains the Key and descends further into the lab, he/she meets with Lysandre who is speaking with a tall man behind bars known as AZ, who Lysandre introduces as someone who "shares the name of the previous King of Kalos" as well as possessing the key of the ultimate weapon. After AZ tells the player the tragedy left by the ultimate weapon and asks him/her to stop the device from being used, Lysandre invites the player deeper underground if he/she wishes to stop him. The player descends and he/she meets Lysandre talking with [[Xerosic]]. Lysandre then tells the player to battle Xerosic and if he/she is successful against the scientist, then they will stop their scheme. After the player defeats Xerosic, he has them push one of two buttons, one of which activates the weapon. However, pushing the correct one unfortunately does not stop Xerosic from unleashing the weapon on Kalos. (If the player chooses the blue button he will activate the weapon by remote control, otherwise the player activates the weapon.)

Lysandre is later found again at the site of the ultimate weapon in [[Geosenge Town]] where the player's rival questions him about his extreme measures to fix the world, which he replies that they are the only possible solution for he thinks humans are inherently evil and greedy. He uses the analogy of them competing over their [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]] as an example that when something cannot be shared, people will fight for it, for someone must live with it and some without and as such, more tragedies are likely to happen and therefore, the only solution is to reduce the human population. When further questioned about Pokémon, he tearfully claims that Pokémon, while magnificent beings, are condemned to be used by humans and, for the greater good, are best annihilated.

He is then battled again as he simply seeks to stall for time against the player. The player defeats Lysandre once again, and he shows further admiration for the player's strength. He then challenges the player to travel deeper into the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] to stop the weapon despite his belief that it is already too late, but multiple members of Team Flare are waiting in ambush on the lower floors. After defeating them, the player reaches Xerneas or Yveltal. The legendary Pokémon is then battled and caught by the player, seemingly disabling the weapon. Lysandre returns, having augmented his body with cybernetic attachments and a visor similar to those worn by his followers, and he declares that he will take the legendary Pokémon back and complete his plan. Now wielding a Mega Ring of his own, he engages the player in a final battle.

After being defeated for the third and final time, Lysandre expresses his disgust towards the fact that his beautiful world will never be a reality. The player and his/her friends attempt to reason with him, saying that if people cooperate together, a better world is possible, and they use the Mega Evolution achieved by him as proof of the bond he has with his Pokémon. He, however, rejects the idea as mere naivety and then attempts to force immortality on the player and their friends{{sup/6|X}}/kill everyone in the building{{sup/6|Y}} and fires the ultimate weapon using what little power still remains. The blast from the weapon destroys the building and seemingly buries Lysandre and the HQ under rubble. As a result, Team Flare disbands.

Later on in the game, an NPC in [[Snowbelle City]] who is an old friend of Lysandre mentions that Lysandre had noble intentions and did his best to help people in need, but was eventually convinced of humanity's stupidity, along with his own limitations which resulted in him becoming a misanthrope.

Lysandre appears as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. He is one of the second pair of bosses the player must face, along with [[Cyrus]]. This Lysandre was summoned from a world where his plans succeeded. However, as he explains to the player, a bright light consumed him when he fired the [[ultimate weapon]] and was transported to the game's world. He has his {{tc|Team Rainbow Rocket Grunt}}s set up devices with red and blue buttons in his office within [[Team Rocket's Castle]]. Then, he subjects the player to the same choice the player in Kalos was subjected to, claiming that one button will activate the ultimate weapon and the other will open the path to [[Giovanni]]. However, no matter which button the player chooses, it will be the one that activates the weapon. Lysandre then tells the player that pushing the opposite button will prevent it from firing. However, in order to buy time for the weapon to fire, Lysandre battles the player, using Xerneas{{sup/7|US}}/Yveltal{{sup/7|UM}} as part of his team. When he is defeated, he allows the player to press the other button, ostensibly shutting down the ultimate weapon, as well as unlocking one of the two seals needed to reach Giovanni. Lysandre then wonders if things would have been different in his world if he had met a Trainer like the player. He then rejects that line of thought, resolving that he must bring about his beautiful world.

====Pokémon X and Y====
;{{DL|Lumiose City|Sycamore Pokémon Lab|Sycamore Pokémon Laboratory}}
:''"So, I will be able to meet them soon, then."''
:''"The children chosen by the professor… I wonder what potential they have."''
:''"Oh! You received a [[Pokédex]] from the professor then… How wonderful! That is a wonderful thing, indeed. You are one of the chosen ones. I am Lysandre. I've tried to learn as much about Pokémon as I can to help build a brighter future. [[Professor Sycamore]] has taught me so much. Oh, I see you have a [[Holo Caster]]! Knowledge is power, after all. Put it to good use. Now listen! It is vital that this world become a better place. And the people and Pokémon chosen to make the world better must work tirelessly to achieve this goal. Well, I'll be off. Please give Professor Sycamore my best. My desire…it is for a more beautiful world!"''

;{{DL|Lumiose City|Café Soleil}}
:''"You played a young girl so wonderfully in your debut on the silver screen. Wouldn't you rather remain young and beautiful forever and always play such roles?"''
:''"You were chosen to be a movie star, correct? Isn't it your duty to be ever beautiful? Everything beautiful should stay that way forever. I would make this world unchanging and eternal so all beauty will last forever.{{sup/6|X}}/I would end the world in an instant so that beauty never fades.{{sup/6|Y}} I can't stand the thought of the world becoming uglier."''
:''"Oh. Hello, <{{player}}>. This is [[Diantha]], one of the most accomplished movie stars in [[Kalos]]. She moves the multitudes with her excellent acting... Which is to say, she dedicates her life to making other people happy. Oh! If only everyone were like her--what a beautiful world this would be! If you'll excuse me."''

;{{DL|Lumiose City|Lysandre Café}}
:''"I would like to congratulate you as well. [[Mega Evolution]] is something I, too, would like to be able to use."''
:''"True. I'm a descendant of the king's younger brother. That being said, that story is 3,000 years old, so it might not be entirely reliable."''
:''"People can be divided into two groups. Those who give... And those who take... It's just as how the Kalos region's two Legendary Pokémon gave life and took life."''
:''"I want to be the kind of person who gives... But in this world, some foolish humans exist who would show their strength by taking what isn't theirs."''
:''"'''They're filth!'''"''
:''"Long, long ago, the [[AZ|king of Kalos]] sought to take everything for his own, and he created a terrible weapon. Then the fire of destruction was unleashed... That is the legend that has been passed down."''
:''"Kalos is beautiful right now! There will be no foolish actions if the number of people and Pokémon do not increase. That being said, the future isn't decided. You can't be sure each day will be like the one before."''
:''"What the king of Kalos did was reprehensible, but... The ultimate weapon did manage to wash the world clean of that era's filth."''
:''"Thank you for listening. Take [[King's Rock|that]] as an apology for my taking up your time."''

;[[Coumarine City]] ([[Holo Caster]])
:''"Professor Sycamore told me you can now wield Mega Evolution. That is truly wonderful. With that power, you can steer your future in a better direction! We can't just cover up the old filth with new filth! I implore you to consider what we need to do to change the world into a new, beautiful world!"''

;{{rt|15|Kalos}} (Holo Caster)
:''"According to Professor Sycamore's research, Mega Evolution releases all of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once. The Pokémon then exhibits a level of power it could not attain through ordinary Evolution. What meaning can we draw from this? Do all people and Pokémon have such potential, or is it hidden within a chosen few?"''

;[[Anistar City]] (Holo Caster)
:''"Pokémon Trainers. I come to you by the Holo Caster to make an important announcement. Listen well. Team Flare will revive the ultimate weapon, eliminate everyone who isn't in our group, and return the world to a beautiful, natural state. Unproductive fools are consuming our future... If nothing changes, the world will become ugly and conflicts will raze the land from end to end. I repeat. We will use the ultimate weapon and wipe the slate clean. I'm sorry, those of you who are not members of Team Flare, but this is adieu to you all."''

;[[Lysandre Labs]]
*Before battle
:''"Welcome."''
:''"This world will eventually reach the point of no return... Saving the lives of all is impossible. Only the chosen ones will obtain a ticket to tomorrow. Do you want to have a ticket? Or, do you want to stop me? Show me in battle."''

*Being defeated
:''"Excellent! I can feel the fire of your convictions burning deep within your heart!"''

*After being defeated
:''"Wah ha ha! Your convictions, and those of your Pokémon, please me! You are here to stop me. But I ask you to wait. I tried to save people--and the world--with the profit from this lab. But my efforts had no effect... The world was just too vast...and too full of fools that I couldn't save through my hard work alone... That's why I decided the only way to save the world was to take it all for myself. I don't expect that I will ever make you understand how I think and feel... Try to stop the ultimate weapon if you must, but to do so, you will have to explore our lab and have Pokémon battles with all you meet."''
:''"Oh, and as for the [[Elevator Key]], one of the Team Flare Scientists you've met on your journey has it."''
:''"Saving everything... The world is suffering because of this absurd dream..."''

*Basement
:''"That is AZ. He has the same name as a king that lived 3,000 years ago. And for some unknown reason, he had the key to the ultimate weapon hung around his neck. It's finally time. Follow me to my chambers."''
:''"The only thing left to do is put the plan in motion. I'm counting on you."''
:''"One push of a button, and we can activate the ultimate weapon from this room."''
:''"I believe being a chosen one means you have the potential to change the future! Whether we activate the ultimate weapon or leave it safely underground will rest upon if you actually have this potential or not."''

;[[Team Flare Secret HQ]]
;1F
:''"The ultimate weapon's flower has finally bloomed above the soil. Don't you find its beauty captivating? As we speak, it draws its energy from the Legendary Pokémon. {{tt|<player>! I apologize that the weapon was unearthed even after you chose correctly in the lab. But conflicting egos drive this world--things don't always go the way you want!|Only if the player chose the blue button at Lysandre Labs}}"''
:''"Even though resources, space, and energy on this planet are limited, the number of people and Pokémon has increased to an unsustainable level. Whether it's money or energy, the ones who steal are the ones who win in this world."''
:''"So, tell me. The [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]], did you share it?"''
:''"When there is only one of something, it can't be shared. When something can't be shared, it will be fought over. And when something is fought over, some must survive without it. The only way to create a world where people live in beauty, a world without conflict or theft, is to reduce the number of living things."''
:''"..."''
:''"Pokémon... Shall no longer exist. Pokémon are wonderful beings. Humans have worked with Pokémon, and we have helped each other flourish. But precisely because of that, they will inevitably become tools for war and theft!"''

*Before battle
:''"Enough of this. You want to stop the ultimate weapon, and I refuse to do so. So, I will keep you busy for just a moment..."'''

*Being defeated
:''"The strength to protect, huh? But what are you really protecting? A tomorrow that will only end up being worse than today?"''

*After being defeated
:''"You're as strong as ever. But... It's too late! There's no hope for you now! Go down to the lowest floor, and see for yourself!"''

;Legendary Pokémon Room
* Before battle
:''"What a startling development! I never would've thought you were really a chosen one!"''
:''"So THIS is the mighty {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}?! I expected more from a Pokémon called a legend! You desire help from people? YOU need help from a human?"''
:''"For me, victory is using the ultimate weapon. In order to do that, I need to reclaim the Legendary Pokémon's power and send it to that weapon once again. I'll be taking the Legendary Pokémon back now! This time, I won't lose. I, too, shall use the Mega Ring and [[Mega Stone]] that you researched during your travels."''

*Being defeated
:''"It's over... Fools with no vision will continue to befoul this beautiful world. They will go on until the only thing left to do is squabble over the remaining scraps of hope..."''

*After being defeated
:''"'''Whaugh!'''"''
:''"..."''
:''"If that were possible, all wars would have ended long ago! I can only see one future! One where selfish, foolish humans think about nothing other than themselves and steal more and more from one another... It's a tragic future!"''
:''"The original purpose of this device was to bring a Pokémon back to life. But the ancient king transformed it into this ultimate weapon... Hmm. When the Legendary Pokémon awakened, it took back much of its energy--its power--that had been sent to the ultimate weapon. There's not much power left... But there IS enough to use it once..."''
:''"<player>, Sycamore's pupils... Let us live forever... That's right! I shall grant you eternal life! I'll give you the pain of endlessly waiting for a beautiful world to finally be built!{{sup/6|X}}/The ultimate weapon is a flower that bloomed to no avail... Just like me... But this ends here! I will show what its remaining power can do!{{sup/6|Y}}"''

====Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon====
:''"You must be the intruder I keep hearing about."''
:''"I am Lysandre."''
:''"I had triggered my ultimate weapon to wipe out all the fools—everyone except Team Flare... But at that moment, a bright light swallowed me and I wandered into this world."''
:''"No matter. My purpose remains the same. Which world I'm in is not important. The only way to create a world where people live in beauty, a world without conflict or theft..."''
:''"Behind me, you see two buttons. One will open the path for you, and help you move forward... The other will trigger my ultimate weapon, and destroy all that there is in this world!"''
:''"...So, make your choice. I believe being a chosen one means you have the potential to change the future! Whether we activate the ultimate weapon or leave it safely underground will rest upon if you actually have this potential or not."''

* After pressing a button
:''"... ... ... ... ... ... Unfortunately... You are not a chosen one!"''
:''"You will destroy the world you tried to protect, by your own hand! However... There is still time before my ultimate weapon is fully activated. Press the other button before it fires, and you will be able to stop it."''
:''"...Of course, I refuse to allow that. So, I will keep you busy for a moment."''

* Before battle
:''"The future you want, or the future I want... Let us see which one is more deserving, shall we?"''

* Being defeated
:''"I can feel the fire of your convictions burning deep within your heart!"''

* After being defeated
:''"The strength to protect, huh? ...Very well. Go on, press the button."''

* After pressing the second button
:''"You have stopped my ultimate weapon, and also you have taken one step more toward your goal."''
:''"Maybe...if my world had {{player|a Trainer like you}}, the path I chose could have been different... No! Nothing can change me now! If there is a path to creating a beautiful world, then that is the path I must take! Even if it means I can only save a handful of the old world!"''

====History====
=====In the Mega Evolution Specials=====
[[File:Lysandre anime.png|thumb|250px|Lysandre in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Lysandre debuted in ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. Though he was not identified as the caller at the time, he contacted [[Alain]] via the [[Holo Caster]], directing him to where a new Mega Stone could be found. He also was seen observing the power of Alain's Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X during its battle with [[Siebold]]'s Mega {{p|Blastoise}}.

In ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', Lysandre traveled to [[Hoenn]], intervened in Alain's battle with {{Steven}}, and introduced Alain and Steven properly to each other. It was revealed that in the past, he defeated Alain in a battle over an {{DL|Mega Stone|Ampharosite}}, then took Alain to [[Lysandre Labs]] and recruited him to work in a project to harness the energy of Mega Evolution for peaceful purposes. Lysandre was also the one who awarded Alain his Mega Ring and Charizardite X, though he asked Alain to not tell Professor Sycamore of the research, fearing that people with bad intentions would bring harm to him in order to obtain it. Later, he traveled with Alain, [[Mairin]], and Steven to a ruin, where they uncovered an ancient [[Giant Rock]]. However, his research on the Giant Rock accidentally summoned {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Rayquaza}}, who destroyed the area. After the encounter with Rayquaza, Lysandre discovered a similar energy reading to the Giant Rock near [[Rustboro City]], and asked Alain to go there and investigate. He also covertly ordered Alain to keep a close eye on Steven, for the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}} had precious information on Mega Evolution.

[[File:Team Flare Scientists Young.png|thumb|left|250px|A younger Lysandre in the anime]]
In ''[[SS032|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Lysandre gave instructions to Alain and Steven. After Mega Rayquaza defeated both [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon (XY)|Groudon}} and Primal {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Kyogre (XY)|Kyogre}}, he had the Giant Rock, which had reappeared during the battle of the Legendary Pokémon, taken away with his submarine for further studies.

In ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', Lysandre observed Alain's battles against ten Mega Evolution Trainers while his scientists researched the Giant Rock. After [[Chespie]], Mairin's {{p|Chespin}}, who had interfered with the experiments performed on a {{p|Zygarde}} Core, was hospitalized, Lysandre told the victorious Alain that he had to continue gather data on Mega Evolution if Chespie was to recover. He was also shown to be close to Malva, who served as Alain's final opponent.

=====In XY&Z=====
Lysandre has a major antagonistic role in [[S19|the XY&Z arc]], first making appearances in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'' and ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', where he was studying [[Squishy]] alongside [[Xerosic]].

In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Lysandre was contacted by Alain via Holo Caster, who wanted to know if Mairin's Chespie's condition had improved or not. Later, he reappeared in [[XY107|the next episode]], overseeing the operation to capture [[Z2]] alongside Xerosic. At the end of the episode, he received Z2.

Lysandre reappeared in ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'' and ''[[XY119|A Full-Strength Battle Surprise!]]'', where he received mission reports from Xerosic.

In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', Lysandre was talking to a man inside a building at the [[Lumiose Conference]]. He soon got a call on a Holo Caster that an {{tc|Team Flare Admin|Admin}} was holding, from Xerosic, who was in the front seat of a truck that was just outside the [[Lumiose Gym]]. Later on at night, he met {{Ash}} for the first time and discussed the capability of [[Ash's Greninja]] to take on its different form in battle. After his conversation with him, he was shown with an annoyed expression, before turning towards the Lumiose Gym and smirked. Lysandre later talked to Mairin after she ran up to him and he put on a happy expression. The next day, Lysandre was seated in a private viewing box inside the Lumiose Conference's stadium with a glass window, along with Mairin and the same Admin, and they all watched as Ash and Alain each walked towards their respective sides of the battlefield in the Lumiose Conference's stadium, for the final round of the Conference.

[[File:Lysandre Machine anime.png|thumb|250px|Wearing the Lysandre Machine in the anime]]
In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'' and ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Lysandre watched Ash and Alain's battle in the finals of the Lumiose Conference. Towards the end of the latter episode, his true egotistical, narcissistic nature is revealed as he uses the power of Z2 to bring the whole of Kalos into his control, taking over Lumiose City and subsequently the Lumiose Conference, which had just been concluded.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Lysandre revealed himself as the leader of Team Flare to a captured Ash. He also televised a message to the citizens of Kalos about his plan for creating a new, beautiful world for Team Flare.

In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', Lysandre explained his motivations. Much like in the games, he once had a generous nature and would help those in need. However, after those he supported grew accustomed to his aid and turned greedy, he became disillusioned with the human race. Because of this, he intended to "restart" the world, and he attempted to control Ash and Greninja the same way he did with Zygarde, so that Ash could become the guide of the new world. Ash, however, defied Lysandre and used the [[Bond Phenomenon]] to break free. Following this turn of events, Lysandre equipped his machine and started a fight with Ash and the defecting Alain using his Pyroar and his Shiny Mega Gyarados. Pyroar was defeated through a joint attack by {{AP|Noivern}}, {{AP|Hawlucha}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Lysandre defeated the majority of Ash's team. He was surprised when Malva appeared to help Alain and Ash, but nonetheless remained confident even after Clemont and Bonnie freed the two Zygarde under his control.

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', Lysandre was finally beaten by Ash and Alain. Refusing to surrender, Lysandre seemingly killed himself by jumping off the tower. It was afterwards revealed that Lysandre had planned for the Giant Rock to transform into a copy of Zygarde, which would engulf the [[Anistar City]] Sundial and release enough energy to wipe out all life on the planet. He made one final appearance in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', where he revived the Giant Rock after it had been temporarily stopped by Ash, Alain, Steven, Malva, [[Diantha]], and all of the Kalos [[Gym Leader]]s. He was ultimately defeated by Squishy and Z2 after they transformed into Zygarde Complete Forme and destroyed the Giant Rock. Lysandre was last seen being engulfed by Zygarde's {{m|Core Enforcer}}, leaving his final fate unclear.

Lysandre appeared in ''[[PG16|The Beauty Eternal]]''. His announcement and release of the [[Holo Caster]] was detailed, showing him as a popular and successful businessman. He was later seen discussing with [[Diantha]] about the concept of eternal beauty. Afterwards, he was interviewed by some reporters over his involvement with some secret plans, but he didn't reveal any information. Lysandre was then seen at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], conducting experiments on {{p|Yveltal}} in the hopes of creating a more beautiful world.

====History====
====={{chap|X & Y}}=====
Lysandre makes his first appearance in Professor Sycamore's lab. The professor shows him a video of the battle between {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} that happened in [[Vaniville Town]]. Lysandre notes from the footage that Xerneas can give life while Yveltal takes it. He asks Sycamore to give him a copy of the footage for further study.

After meeting with Professor Sycamore in Lumiose City, [[Trevor]] is sent to Lysandre Café to meet with Lysandre and get his broken Holo Caster repaired. As he and his friends wait for the repair job to be finished, Trevor notices Lysandre's silhouetted figure in a photo of the Vaniville Town incident. Trevor immediately becomes suspicious of Lysandre and fears that he may be behind the attack. Lysandre notices this behavior and asks to see the photo. When Trevor refuses, Lysandre sends his Pokémon out to threaten him. He is stopped by the arrival of Diantha, who uses her Mega {{p|Gardevoir}} to threaten Lysandre into backing off. Lysandre gets a call from Xerosic, who has discovered the tree form of Xerneas at {{rt|8|Kalos}} and asks whether or not to begin moving the tree to Team Flare's base. Lysandre hangs up the call and goes to leave on other business. He leaves Trevor's repaired Holo Caster on the desk and bids Diantha farewell. Later, he travels through the skies on top of his {{p|Gyarados}}. He notes that Gyarados is more excited than usual due to witnessing Mega Evolution with its own eyes. Lysandre assures Gyarados that it too will be able to Mega Evolve as he opens his hand to reveal a Mega Stone.

Later, Lysandre returns to Team Flare Secret HQ after Xerneas's tree form has been successfully transported. Xerosic presents Lysandre with the Lysandre Machine, which he forced a captive [[Clemont]] to build for them. Lysandre also receives a Mega Ring fitted with a Key Stone that Celosia stole from [[Korrina]]. He then activates the Lysandre Machine and prepares to use it to absorb Xerneas's energy and power the ultimate weapon. Later, Lysandre is interrupted by {{adv|X}}, who had broken into the headquarters in order to put a stop to Team Flare's plan. Lysandre battles with X and uses his Key Stone to Mega Evolve his Gyarados.

Despite X having three Pokémon capable of Mega Evolving, he does not use it against Lysandre. Lysandre is surprised when his Mega Gyarados is attacked by X's [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], which Mega Evolved in secret by hiding in its mother's pouch. While he watches the two fight, Xerosic notices that the energy used to power the machine is being drained. X reveals that his {{p|Manectric|Élec}} used its {{a|Lightning Rod}} to pull the electricity into its tail. Immediately afterward, Xerneas awakens from its slumber. Despite the appearance of the Legendary Pokémon, Lysandre is not fazed, as he noticed that Xerneas is in its blue Neutral Mode, which he states is nothing to get worried about.

X's friends and allies arrive at Geosenge Town, where they find the ultimate weapon in the process of being unearthed. The Gym Leaders and Y attempt to stop the ultimate weapon from being activated while Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna head inside the Team Flare Secret HQ to help X. As they make their way to the ultimate weapon's control room, Trevor and his friends meet AZ, the immortal former king of Kalos that Lysandre stole the ultimate weapon's activation key from. They befriend AZ and free him from his jail cell. When Trevor's group arrives at the control room, they find that X has already been defeated.

Upon seeing Lysandre's face, Trevor goes into a rage and fear-filled frenzy and goes to the platform where Lysandre is currently standing. Trevor yells at Lysandre to remove the key, only for Lysandre to suggest that Trevor do it himself. In response, Trevor has his Flabébé blast Lysandre off of the platform and immediately begins attempting to remove the key. Tierno and Shauna go up to assist Trevor, but the weapon is fired despite their success in removing the key. Despite this, the combined efforts of Trevor, his friends, and the Gym Leaders weakened the ultimate weapon to the point where no innocent lives are taken. As he has Xerneas take X and his friends back to the surface, AZ gloats over the heroes efforts to stop Lysandre's ambition just after being captured by Xerosic's {{p|Malamar}}.

Although Team Flare blamed the ultimate weapon's blast on X's friends and the Gym Leaders, their efforts did not fool every person in the region. To lay low from the public view, Team Flare relocated to the [[Pokémon Village]]. While there, Lysandre begins training with his Pokémon while taking shelter inside of a cave. After Xerosic discovers the stones lining {{rt|10|Kalos}} are also another form of the Absorber, Team Flare begins capturing the Pokémon inside the village and has them put on the stones in order to drain their life energy.

These actions gain Team Flare the anger of {{adv|Mewtwo}}, the protector of the Pokémon Village. When X and {{adv|Blue}} arrive at the village to stop Team Flare, they find Lysandre in battle with Mewtwo. Lysandre manipulates Mewtwo into battling X and Blue so that it may be weakened enough to be captured. Despite having battled together, Blue's attempt to get Mewtwo to recognize him ends in failure. During the battle, Mewtwo attacks X and Blue, but redirects the attack towards Lysandre to hit him instead. Mewtwo then proceeds to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y. As Mewtwo battles Lysandre's Pokémon, Blue notices another person in the distance who was responsible for Mega Evolving Mewtwo.

Lysandre retaliates by activating a remote control device to summon Essentia and Zygarde from underground. Lysandre reveals that he had the limiters on Essentia's suit removed, allowing him to fully control her as if she were a puppet. By using a speaker system, Lysandre can speak into the device and have Essentia repeat his words so that he can command Zygarde to attack. The person who Mega Evolved Mewtwo, Blaine, reveals himself and proceeds to assist X and Blue. Lysandre retaliates by having Zygarde attack everyone with {{m|Land's Wrath}}, causing heavy damage. The damage dealt to Blaine forces Mewtwo to revert back to its normal state, but Blaine counters by using his connection with Mewtwo to have it Mega Evolve to Mega Mewtwo X.

While Zygarde battles against Mewtwo, X decides to sever Lysandre's control of Zygarde by attacking Essentia. Though successful in breaking her helmet, X is shocked to find that Essentia is actually Emma. Although Emma initially refuses to stop working for Lysandre so that she may pay [[Cassius]] for taking her in, X's words convince Emma that what she is doing is wrong. Despite this, Lysandre continues to use the controller to force Emma to control Zygarde. Cassius soon arrives and tells Emma that she doesn't need to work with Team Flare and has his {{p|Gourgeist}} destroy Lysandre's controller, breaking his connection to Zygarde. Now freed, Emma attempts to have Zygarde attack Lysandre, only for his Gyarados to attack her. Lysandre takes Zygarde's Poké Ball, thus making Zygarde his to command. Lysandre has Zygarde attack with another Land's Wrath, causing everyone to be sent flying. Y, seeing that Lysandre was distracted by the attack, decides to take the chance to have her {{p|Absol|Solsol}} bite Lysandre's hand. Lysandre has Pyroar attack Solsol, but is unable to prevent his Mega Ring from being taken away. Angered at the loss of the ability to use Mega Evolution, Lysandre has his Gyarados blast Y away with {{m|Hydro Pump}}.

Despite the loss of his Mega Ring, Lysandre proceeds to make a speech to the entire Kalos region and tells them about his plan to destroy everything with the ultimate weapon. Once Lysandre has finished, X returns with his entire team sent out. X reveals that he borrowed the Key Stones from his allies and uses all five to Mega Evolve five Pokémon at once. Though he is impressed by this feat, Lysandre is unfazed by X's attempt and sends Zygarde to battle X's Mega-Evolved team. The strain of controlling multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon proves to be too much for X, causing him to be unable to focus on anything other than Zygarde. Lysandre attempts to exploit X's weakness by having his Pokémon attack, only for them to be defeated by [[Blue's Charizard]] and Mewtwo.

As X's team continues their attack, X's friends notice that Zygarde's body has begun to break apart. Y's [[Xerxer]] reveals that this is due to it and Yveltal returning to their dormant tree and cocoon forms. After Xerxer and Yveltal fully revert, X has his team launch one final combined attack on Zygarde, which causes it to fully break apart. With Zygarde gone, Lysandre begins falling to the ground below him. As he falls, Malva attempts to help Lysandre, but both end up landing onto the sharp rubble below. As he lays in a pool of blood, Lysandre weakly asks the unconscious Malva why the ultimate weapon has not been fired yet.

==Trivia==
* Lysandre shares three Pokémon with [[Cyrus]], another leader of a [[Team Galactic|villainous team]]: {{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Honchkrow}}, and {{p|Gyarados}}. Their goals are also similar; both involve trying to wipe out everyone for some purpose and using Legendary Pokémon to achieve it.
** [[Xerosic]] and [[Mable]], two of his top scientists, possess a {{p|Crobat}} and a {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Weavile}}, respectively; all Pokémon that Cyrus had.
* Lysandre's cybernetic suit, the Lysandre Machine, was meant to be used to drain Xerneas's{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal's{{sup/6|Y}} power into the [[ultimate weapon]].
** In the anime, its functions are different: the "bugs" attached to the backpack piece are able to shoot beams of Mega Evolution energy, while the gauntlet is used to control the Giant Rock. Additionally, the pieces of the suit are capable of flight and can carry Lysandre into the air while he is wearing them.
* Lysandre's Gyarados knows {{m|Iron Head}} and {{m|Outrage}}, which it cannot learn in {{g|X and Y}}. The only way for Gyarados to know these moves in Pokémon X and Y is through [[Move Tutor]]s in {{v2|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}} before being transferred through [[Pokémon Bank]], or through a Move Tutor in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
* The background story of Lysandre told by an NPC in Snowbelle City is similar to the manga ''{{wp|Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind}}'', where a king, who wants to save humanity and wanting peace for his peasants, eventually realizes their stupidity and grows to hate them, eventually becoming a tyrant.
* Lysandre's hairstyle was stylized to somewhat resemble a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences#Pyroar|male]] {{p|Pyroar}}'s mane, one of his Pokémon.
* In the anime, Lysandre is the first villainous team leader to debut in a [[Side story episodes|side story episode]], and also the first to have a [[Shiny Pokémon]].
** Also in the anime, Lysandre is not Professor Sycamore's former pupil. Instead, the two only meet for the first time during the events of ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''.
* When Lysandre is defeated for the last time, the {{player}} performs a unique victory pose.
* Lysandre's visor can be seen on his desk in Team Rocket's Castle, though he does not wear it at any point as a member of Team Rainbow Rocket.
* Lysandre is the only villainous team leader in the [[core series]] to date who never wears his team's insignia on his clothing.
* In the anime Lysandre is the first villainous team leader Ash has beaten in a battle.

Contest Judge

2019-09-20T18:12:59Z

Lordfridge: made pronouns neutral

[[File:Contest Judges anime.png|thumb|250px|The Contest Judges in the anime]]
A '''Pokémon Contest Judge''' (Japanese: '''コンテストの{{tt|審査員|しんさいん}}''' ''Contest Judge'') is a [[Human|person]] who works at [[Contest Hall]]s judging [[Pokémon Contest]]s. Contest Judges have appeared in the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, the {{pkmn|anime}}, and multiple {{pkmn|manga}} series. They preside over the proceedings, enforce the rules, assign scores, and ultimately decide the winner.

==In the games==
===In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald===
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a single judge supervises the formal procedures and reviews the performances delivered by the contestants' {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He will react in different circumstances and his input will affect the progress of the competition. His reactions and their effects are listed below.

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; background: #{{contest color}}; border: 3px solid #{{contest color dark}}; width: 80%"
|-
! style="background:#{{contest color light}}; text-align:center; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Screenshot
! style="background:#{{contest color light}}; text-align:center; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Description
|- style="background:#fff"
| [[File:RSE Contest Judge number one.png|240px]]
| When a Pokémon uses a move which makes itself move first or last in the next turn, the Judge will have the number 1 or 4 over his head and the Pokémon will be indicated with the text "NEXT TURN: X", where X is the same number over the Judge's head. If another Pokémon uses a similar appeal and moves to the beginning or end, the Pokémon that performed earlier will shift position, and "NEXT TURN: X" will change accordingly.
|- style="background:#fff"
| [[File:RSE Contest Judge question mark.png|240px]]
| When a Pokémon uses a move which scrambles the order in the next turn, the Judge will have a {{wp|question mark}} over his head, and each Pokémon will be indicated with the text "NEXT TURN: ?".
|- style="background:#fff"
| [[File:RSE Contest Judge coil spring.png|240px]]
| When a Pokémon uses a move twice in a row, the Judge will have a {{wp|coil spring}} over his head. The Pokémon will lose two hearts the first time a move is repeated, three hearts the second time, and so on. There are a few moves to which this rule does not apply, such as {{m|Hidden Power}}. To prevent repeating moves accidentally, the name of the move used in the previous turn is grayed out when selecting a move to appeal with.
|- style="background:#fff"
| [[File:RSE Contest Judge exclamation mark.png|240px]]
| When a Pokémon uses a move which can be [[Contest combination|combined]] with another, the Judge will have a single {{wp|exclamation mark}} over his head and the Pokémon will be indicated by a flashing red dot or a flashing panel. When the Pokémon knows a move which can form a combination with the move used in the previous turn, the name of the move will be red when selecting a move to appeal with.
|- style="background:#fff"
| [[File:RSE Contest Judge double exclamation mark.png|240px]]
| When a Pokémon uses a move which forms a combination with the move used in the previous turn, the Judge will have a double exclamation mark over his head and the Pokémon will receive double the amount of hearts it would in a basic appeal.
|- style="background:#fff"
| style="{{roundybl|5px}}" | [[File:RSE Contest Judge star.png|240px]]
| style="{{roundybr|5px}}" | When a Pokémon uses a move which increases its [[Contest condition|condition]], the Judge will have a star over his head and the Pokémon will be indicated with a star. Subsequent moves will add one extra heart to the Pokémon's score. The Pokémon can continue to increase its condition during the competition, and one extra heart will be added to its score for each star received. Pokémon with an increased condition are less likely to become nervous.
|}{{-}}

===In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, there are three judges in charge of overseeing [[Pokémon Super Contest]] proceedings—[[Jordan]], {{FB|Contest Judge|Dexter}}, and [[Keira]]. They play an active role during the {{DL|Pokémon Super Contest|Acting Competition}}, where they award points to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that have performed [[move]]s for them.

The excitement in the [[Contest Hall]] is measured through each Judge's Voltage, a series of five ovals that may be filled or emptied depending on the {{DL|Contest condition|moves}} performed to them. Performing a {{OBP|Tough|condition}} move in a Toughness Contest will raise the Voltage by one whereas a {{OBP|Cute|condition}} or {{OBP|Beautiful|condition}} move will lower the Voltage by one. If a Judge reaches five Voltage after a Pokémon's performance, the Pokémon will be awarded bonus hearts, as shown in the table below.

===In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
Although the judges do not appear in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], they are mentioned by a few [[non-player character]]s in the [[Contest Hall]]s, and mechanics similar to those associated with the Judge of [[Pokémon Contest]]s in [[Generation III]] affect the performances of the contestants' Pokémon during the Pokémon Contest Spectaculars.

==In the anime==
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, a set of judges sit together to decide which [[Pokémon Coordinator]] most effectively displays their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The panel of judges is usually formed by:

* The Chief of the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]] and Head Judge, [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]];
* The [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman|President]] of the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], [[Mr. Sukizo]];
* The [[Pokémon Center Nurse|operator]] of the local [[Pokémon Center]], [[Nurse Joy]].

The judges are responsible for evaluating each presentation delivered during the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] and determining the contestants who will advance to the next stage. In order to do that, they take into consideration the Pokémon's entry, its [[Friendship|level of cooperation]] with its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, its appearance, and the way it executes its [[move]]s. They form opinions from the first attack and then analyze the degree of the Pokémon's development from that point onward. In [[Double Performance]]s, the synchronicity between the two Pokémon is also observed. After assessing a performance, they share their thoughts by making quick comments. When all performances have been reviewed, the results are revealed by the [[Contest announcer|master of ceremonies]].

In the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]], the judges are tasked with subtracting points from a Coordinator's score. They will generally take points away from Coordinators whose attack plan failed or whose Pokémon got hit with an attack. A particularly appealing move or [[Contest combination|combination]] delivered by a contestant's opponent is also a cause for point deduction. In addition, Coordinators will see their points reduced when their strategies are taken advantage of. During a Contest Battle, the judges pay attention to the Pokémon's wellness, and if they perceive that a Pokémon is unable to continue battling, they will rule {{DL|Fainting|Battle Off}} for said Pokémon. This will end the battle immediately and the Coordinator with the remaining Pokémon will be declared the winner of the match. In [[Double Battle|two-on-two]] Contest Battles, the judges also evaluate the pair's teamwork.

At the end of a Pokémon Contest, the judges will rise from their seats to congratulate the Coordinator who emerged victorious. As the Head Judge, Mr. Contesta awards the winner with a prize [[Ribbon]].

===Special cases===
[[File:Sinnoh Grand Festival Judges.png|thumb|250px|Fantina in the panel of judges]]
There are instances in which the judges are joined by a special guest. This usually occurs during major events, such as the [[Wallace Cup]] and the [[Grand Festival]]. Additionally, some competitions will have more than one Nurse Joy serving as judge.

Pokémon Contests not officially established by the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]], such as the [[Terracotta Town]] Pokémon Contest, will not have [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]] or [[Mr. Sukizo]] serving as judges; the local [[Nurse Joy]], however, may join the judging panel.

* [[Wallace]] is a part of the panel of judges in the competition bearing his name, the [[Wallace Cup]].
* [[Vivian Meridian|Vivian]] briefly left her duties as an [[Contest announcer|announcer]] to join the judging panel for the [[Kanto Grand Festival]] from ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'' to ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]''.
* [[Johanna]] filled in for [[Nurse Joy]] in the [[Neighborly Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]''.
* [[Fantina]] temporarily closed the [[Hearthome Gym]] to attend the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] as a special guest judge from ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'' to ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Contest Judges Adventures.png|thumb|280px|The Contest Judges in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the judges for the [[Pokémon Super Contest]] appeared in ''[[PS351|Perturbed by Pachirisu]]'' judging a {{OBP|Cool|condition}}ness Contest {{adv|Platinum}} had entered.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
In the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga, the Super Contest Judges appeared in ''[[DPA06|Beauty Contest: The Pokémon Super Contest!!]]'', overseeing the proceedings of a [[Rank (Contest)|Normal Rank]] event [[Hareta]] and {{OBP|Jun|DPA}} were taking part of.

Birthday

2019-09-20T18:12:33Z

Lordfridge: made pronouns neutral

The '''birthday''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|誕生日|たんじょうび}}''' ''birthday'') of the {{player}} can be used to trigger certain in-game events. Birthdays are also prevalent in other Pokémon media and, like in the real world, are of great importance to people.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Diamond Dust IV.png|right|thumb|200px|Diamond dust in [[Snowpoint City]]]]
Beginning with the original [[Nintendo DS]]'s birthday function, all Pokémon games have, so far, had something inclusive for just this function, the most well known of which is the appearance of {{DL|Easter egg|diamond dust}}, wherein on [[Junichi Masuda]]'s birthday (January 12), it will appear in [[Snowpoint City]].

===In Generations I and III===

==In the TCG==
[[File:BlankPikachuWizardsPromo24.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The Wizards Promo version of _____'s Pikachu]]
Three cards exist, two of them jumbo sized, called '''_____'s Pikachu''', first released in 1999 in Japan. The nature of their attacks are mostly related to birthdays, and they can deal more damage if it is the user's birthday. Due to this, they are commonly referred to as "Birthday Pikachu" cards. These cards are not [[Play! Pokémon|tournament legal]], likely due to the fact a player can claim any given day is their birthday.

==In other media==
In the [[Pokémon Learning League]], one of the {{OBP|science|Learning League}} lessons deals with heredity, in the presentation, {{an|May}} and [[Max]] are heading home, where [[Norman]] is setting up a surprise birthday party for his wife [[Caroline]].

The date of {{Ash}}'s birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days exactly prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.

The [[Nintendo DS]] on the player's birthday will have a different start up chime, instead of a piano with an echo effect it is a glockenspiel with an echo effect.

There is a book in the [[Pokémon Tales]] picture book series titled ''[[PB13|Diglett's Birthday Party]]''. The story is about a Diglett and his family celebrating his birthday in their underground home.

During the [[Pokémon Live!]] stage show, a large part of the plot revolves around {{Ash}} missing {{an|Misty}}'s birthday.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, a musical CD was brought out named [[10th Anniversary Pokémon Happy Birthday Concert]].

Bakery Crafts released a set of {{DL|Pokémon jewelry|Rings|birthday rings}} to be placed on the top of cakes as decorations, and given to guests to take home.

The [[Pokémon Project Studio Red and Blue]] lets people create Pokémon themed mini-projects, such as calendars and cards, one of the templates for a project is called ''Birthday Kits'' and has templates for birthday invitations.

The concept of '''photography''' has appeared in many [[Pokémon games]] as well as in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and {{pkmn|anime}}. Starting with its introduction in [[Pokémon Snap]], photography has appeared in several other games since.

==In the games==
===In the core series===
====Pokémon Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal====
{{game|Yellow}}, {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} are compatible with the [[Game Boy Printer]] accessory. By talking to a character labeled as a "photographer," players are able to print out stats of any Pokémon in their party. Also in Gold, Silver and Crystal, although photography isn't mentioned, there is a [[Mail]] called {{DL|Mail|Portraitmail}} that has the silhouette of the Pokémon holding it as its design.

In Pokémon Yellow, it is mentioned that the [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]] has taken an interest in photography.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
At the [[Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner]] in [[Celadon City]], there is a "'''Pokémon Printer'''" where a player may have their current party photographed and displayed on the back of the {{ga|Trainer Card}} for a fee of {{pdollar}}50. The photos can be taken in four different colors: normal, black, pink, or sepia.

====Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum====
The player can get a picture of their Pokémon taken with [[Accessory|Accessories]] on in [[Jubilife City]] at the [[Jubilife TV]] building. This is also done when a player's Pokémon wins a [[Pokémon Super Contest]], but only when the {{OBP|rank|Contest}} of that [[Contest condition|category]] has not already been achieved.

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
[[File:HGSS Photo.png|thumb|200px|left|{{ga|Lyra}} and {{p|Slowbro}} taking a picture with [[Professor Oak]]]]
[[File:HGSS Party Photo.png|thumb|200px|A photo of Ethan with his [[party]]]]
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there are many areas in [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] where players may take photos of themselves and their [[Walking Pokémon|partner Pokémon]], although the player will often be able to photograph themselves with their entire party. These photos are recorded in a Photo Album, which stores up to 36 photos in the [[PC]].

After the player arrives in [[Goldenrod City]], a man named {{jo|Cameron}} will periodically be found in both regions at varying times. He will take pictures of the player's party and the surrounding area. Cameron's house is in [[Cianwood City]], which has an automatic camera beside it for use at all times; however, Cameron cannot be found here.

====Pokémon X and Y====
In {{g|X and Y}}, players can find multiple black signs with white camera icons on them called '''Photo Spots'''. Upon examining them, the player can summon [[Phil the Photo Guy]], who will offer to take their picture. The camera takes advantage of the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s gyroscope controls, and its zoom, shutter, and natural light can be adjusted. Upon taking a picture, it will be saved on the Nintendo 3DS Camera, where it can be viewed on the 3DS's photo album. The player can also upload their latest photo to the [[Pokémon Global Link]] via Game Sync.

{{Itlistfoot|city}}

====Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire====
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, players may take pictures of their Pokémon throughout a [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular]]. The most recent photo taken can be saved onto the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s SD card, and if saved, the photo is displayed on the ground floor of the [[Contest Hall]]. During the {{DL|Pokémon Contest|Secondary judging|Talent Round}} of a Pokémon Contest, the 3DS camera can be used to provide a real-life background. This option can be turned on or off by speaking to a man in the Contest Hall who describes this special effect as projecting a "hologram" through the entire hall.

If the player wins a [[Rank (Contest)|Master Rank]] Pokémon Contest, a photo of their winning Pokémon taken during the {{DL|Pokémon Contest|Primary judging|Introduction Round}} will be automatically displayed on the second floor of the Contest Hall. Only the most recent winner is displayed, with one photo spot available for each [[Contest condition]] stat. If the player won with at least 800 points, the same photos are displayed on the second level of [[Lilycove Museum]]. Unlike the Contest Hall, in the museum, the last three winners are shown for each Contest condition stat.

====Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon====
{{main|Rotom Pokédex#Poké Finder|Rotom Pokédex → Poké Finder}}
In {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, players may take pictures of Pokémon using the Poké Finder (Japanese: ポケファインダー Poké Finder) function of the Rotom Pokédex, in various locations throughout the [[Alola]] region. The icon on the player's bottom screen will turn into that of a camera in locations where photographs may be taken. It can be activated by pressing the R button or tapping the camera icon in those select locations. Pictures are then evaluated with a "Thumbs-Up" score. As the player racks up their total "Thumbs-Up" score, more features are unlocked, such as the ability to zoom.

====Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon====
{{main|Alola Photo Club}}
Found in [[Hau'oli City]] and [[Konikoni City]], the Alola Photo Club allows players to take [[photography|photos]] with the Pokémon in their party. These photos can then be edited with stickers, posted to the [[Pokémon Global Link]], or saved to the 3DS's SD card.

The player also has the option of doing an impromptu photo shoot after a Pokémon in their party [[evolution|evolves]].

===In spin-off series===
====Pokémon Snap====
In {{g|Snap}}, the entire game is based around the concept of photography. In Pokémon Snap, the player (as [[Todd Snap]]) must take the best possible photographs of the 63 Pokémon findable on [[Pokémon Island]] for [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Pokémon Report]].

The player controls the camera from a first-person perspective. To view through the camera lens, the player must hold the "Z" button. The shutter button is operated with the "A" button. In the game, the player can receive tools to aid their picture-taking such as [[Pokémon food]], [[Pester Ball]]s, and the [[Poké Flute]].

For a period of time after the release of Pokémon Snap, '''Pokémon Snap Sticker Stations''' were available at {{wp|Blockbuster LLC|Blockbuster Video}} stores, which allowed a player to print out their photos on stickers for $3. These Sticker Stations were available in the United States and Canada. In the [[Wii]] [[Virtual Console]] version, players can post them to the Wii's Address book.

====Pokémon Stadium====
In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, there is a "Gallery" mode where players can take photographs of their Pokémon. A player may photograph Pokémon from their [[Generation I]] [[Game Boy]] game (using the [[Transfer Pak]]) or they may photograph the game's [[rental Pokémon]]. The controls are identical to that of Pokémon Snap, but without the extra items such as the [[Pester Ball]]s. Photos taken in Gallery Mode could be printed on stickers at the Pokémon Snap Sticker Stations.

====My Pokémon Ranch====
[[File:MPR Photography.png|thumb|200px|right|An example of a [[My Pokémon Ranch]] photo, featuring a {{Shiny}} {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Bibarel}}]]
In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], players are able to take photos of their Pokémon during any of the random ranch events (such as the Clock and the Totem Pole) or when they are playing with any of the toys that a player may buy for their Pokémon. The quality of the photo can be increased with the "Focus Lock" function. 

====PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure====
[[File:PokePark photography.jpg|thumb|200px|left|A photograph of {{p|Meowth}} taken in-game from first person perspective]]
[[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] gives the player the ability to take pictures from the game similar to previous Wii and WiiWare games.

After Pikachu has met {{p|Misdreavus}} in the [[Meeting Place]], she gives them a camera with which to photos on. Each film roll can hold up to 30 pictures. These 30 pictures can be sent to an SD card purchased separately by the player so that they may put the pictures on their computer as well as free up a new film for 30 new pictures.

Photos can be taken from a third-person perspective or from first-person Pikachu's view.

====PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond====
[[File:PokéPark 2 photography.jpg|thumb|200px|right|A photograph of {{p|Raichu}} and {{p|Meowth}} taken in-game from first person perspective]]
[[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]] has a similar photography feature to the one in the first game. As in the first game, the ability to take photos is given by {{p|Misdreavus}}, found in [[Cove Town]]. Photos can be taken from a third-person perspective or from first-person view of the player. In PokéPark 2, the player may store significantly more photos on the Wii's memory: up to 72 photos may be stored without the use of an SD card.

{{-}}
====Super Smash Bros. series====
=====Super Smash Bros. Melee=====
Players of [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] are able to take pictures of certain battle scenes in Camera Mode. Photos take up 4-12 blocks from the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] memory card. Camera Mode requires two controllers (one being put in port 4)—player 2 takes a photo of player 1's battle.

=====Super Smash Bros. Brawl=====
[[File:SSBB Photography.png|thumb|200px|left|A snapshot of two {{p|Ivysaur}} in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
Players of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] may also to take pictures of certain battle scenes if the game is paused. Photographs typically take 1 block of memory from either the [[Wii]]'s memory or from the SD Card memory. Photos taken in Brawl can be transferred to a personal computer and converted to JPEGs using various programs or websites available online. The players can also take pictures of stages they created. Because the player cannot pause during online multiplayer, the player cannot take photos in that mode.

=====Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U=====
In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]], players can take pictures in a manner similar to Brawl. However, the photos, which are saved to the console's SD card, are not encrypted and do not require third party programs to share. The player cannot pause during online multiplayer, and therefore cannot take pictures.

=====Pokémon GO=====
[[File:GO Smeargle Surprise Encounter.png|thumb|100px|Surprise encounter with Smeargle]]
In [[Pokémon GO]], players may take pictures of Pokémon when they are encountered them in the wild, or once they are caught and kept in the player's storage. Initially, players were only able to take pictures of Pokémon encountered in the wild. With this feature, players may choose to take the photographs with or without the AR mode activated. When a photograph has been taken, the pictures will be saved on their mobile devices' internal storage or external {{wp|memory card}}.

'''GO Snapshot''' is a feature introduced on February 25, 2019, which enabled players to take photos of their Pokémon in storage. This feature can be accessed through the camera icon on the individual Pokémon's status screen, or by accessing the camera through the items list, and photos can be taken with or without AR+ mode activated. Without AR+, the Pokémon will be remain fixed in position facing forward in the center of the screen, while AR+ enables the player to keep the position of the Pokémon fixed relative to its background and therefore players can move around the Pokémon to obtain a greater variety of photos. Once the photos are taken, the player will be able to review the photos taken, and can directly share their photos to social media. The photos will also be saved automatically to the devices' internal storage or external memory card.

Occasionally, the photo will be intercepted by a {{p|Smeargle}} which will appear in front of the photo taken. Smeargle will only appear in the first few images taken per session, and the image with and without the photobomb will be saved. Once this happens, a wild Smeargle will appear around the player, and is currently the only method of obtaining Smeargle. Smeargle's moveset will be the identical to the moveset of the Pokémon of which the photo was taken.

On [[April Fools' Day 2019|April Fools' Day]] till April 3, 2019, Smeargle was replaced with {{Ash}} or a {{AP|Pikachu wearing Ash's hat|Pikachu}} as the photobomb character. A wild Pikachu wearing Ash's hat would spawn near the player after this had occurred.

These surprise encounters enable players to earn the {{tc|Cameraman}} [[List of Medals in Pokémon GO|medal]] depending on the number of photobombs they have had.

==In the anime==
[[File:Todd Snap.png‎|thumb|220px|[[Todd Snap]] and his camera in the anime]]
The concept of photography is also present in the [[Pokémon anime]], first appearing in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where [[Misty's Psyduck]] took a picture of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. [[Todd Snap]] debuted in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'', which later inspired the release of Pokémon Snap. In the episode, {{TRT}} hired photographer Todd Snap to "capture" {{AP|Pikachu}}, not realizing that Todd meant to capture Pikachu on film. Todd appears in a number of subsequent episodes, in which he tries to photograph other Pokémon, including the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} {{p|Articuno}}.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a {{p|Fearow}} soared overhead with a camera attached to its neck. This camera was used by {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} in search of worthy {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to summon to the [[New Island]]. Photography also appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where a [[Block Bot]] took pictures of Ash and his friends for passport IDs that give them access to facilities in [[LaRousse City]].

In ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]'', [[Harley]] was shown to have an {{wp|instant camera}}. He took a picture of {{an|May}} and posted it on his scrapbook.

[[File:Trip Camera.png|thumb|250px|left|[[Trip]] and his digital camera in the anime]]
Photography appeared again in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]'', where Team Rocket tried to take a group picture of Ash's, {{an|Dawn}}'s, and {{an|Brock}}'s Pokémon in exchange for a map. In ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship!]]'', Team Rocket disguised themselves as photographers in an attempt to capture the Pokémon of Ash and his friends.

In ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', Ash met a beginning Trainer named [[Trip]], who documents his {{pkmn|journey}} through the [[Unova]] [[region]] by taking pictures.

In ''[[BW054|The Four Seasons of Sawsbuck!]]'', Ash met a photographer named {{OBP|Robert|BW054}}, whose goal was getting a picture of {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Deerling and Sawsbuck|all four forms}} of {{p|Sawsbuck}} together. [[Robert's grandfather|His grandfather]] was also a photographer who had accomplished that and had taken pictures of Pokémon outside of [[Unova]].

[[File:SM035 photo.png|thumb|250px|A photo taken by {{Rotom}}]]
In ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'' Ash met a reporter named [[Alexa]] who makes articles about Pokémon living in the wild, and even about famous legends, and landmarks. Alexa joined Ash on his adventures until ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''. In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'' Ash met Alexa's little sister [[Viola]] who is also the Santalune Gym Leader, and a fantastic Photographer. Viola is mostly known for her talent of taking photos of Bug Type Pokémon.

In ''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]'', Ash, his friends, and [[Korrina]], who was traveling with them at the time, had a photo of themselves together taken by a photographer named [[McGinty]] in [[Geosenge Town]].

{{an|Trevor}} is another Pokémon photographer appearing in the anime. In ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]'', he visited [[Mt. Molteau]] to take a picture of the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Moltres}}, having previously photographed the other two [[Legendary birds]].

In ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!‎]]'', Ash obtained a [[Rotom Pokédex]], which has a camera function, from {{an|Professor Kukui}}. Throughout the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, {{Rotom}} is often shown taking pictures of [[wild Pokémon]] performing activities described in Pokédex entries. It also likes to capture important moments of Ash's {{pkmn|journey}}, such as Ash receiving a [[Z-Crystal]].

In ''[[SM105|Showdown on Poni Island!]]'', {{an|Lillie}} started taking pictures of the Pokémon at [[Poni Island]] while exploring.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Ruby}} likes taking photos of his Pokémon. In ''[[PS196|Ring Ring Goes Beldum]]'', he was seen taking pictures of his [[Nana]] and [[Kiki]] evolving and said that he was up to his 36th album at the time.

[[Todd Snap]] appeared in the {{chap|Emerald}} as a reporter. At the end of the chapter, after looking at Todd's pictures of the events at the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, {{adv|Professor Oak}} asked him if he could work with him and if he could go to an [[Pokémon Island|island where there are lots of Pokémon]], and take pictures of them.

===In the Pokémon Battle Frontier manga===
{{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} is disguised as a photographer taking photographs around the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga===
[[Shu]] once took part in Pokémon photography competition in ''[[GDZ27|Get a Pokémon Shot!]]''. He was lent a camera to take part, but thought he had used his last shot stunning an {{p|Ekans}} to save the {{p|Pidgey}} eggs it was about to eat. He won, however, thanks to his {{p|Slowpoke}}, who used the last shot to take a picture of the hatched Pidgey while he had his back turned.

==In the TCG==
[[File:PikachuWizardsPromo26.jpg|thumb|180px|right|The only English [[Pokémon Snap]] card]]
Though not prevalent, photography has appeared throughout the TCG multiple times. The first involved two contests, the {{DL|Illustration contests|CoroCoro Best Photo Contest}} and the {{DL|Illustration contests|64 Mario Stadium Best Photo Contest}}, which challenged players to take interesting pictures of Pokémon from [[Pokémon Snap]] and submit them. Five entries from each contest were chosen, with the winning images used on extremely rare reprints of cards that originally appeared in the {{TCG|Base Set}}. The exact number of these cards is unknown.

{{TCG ID|CoroCoro|Imakuni?|promo}} and {{TCG ID|Fan Club|Poké Dude|promo}} feature actual photographs of people ([[Tomoaki Imakuni]] and [[Hironobu Yoshida]] respectively) and were released as promotional cards. The individual top three winners of the Neo Spring Road and Neo Summer Road Best in Japan tournaments, and the top four ranking players of the Battle Road Summer 2002 Best in Japan tournament also had their photographs featured on Trainer cards with the respective event logos superimposed on the image. The Neo Spring Road and Neo Summer Road players were awarded either a {{TCG ID|Neo Spring Road|No.1 Trainer|promo}}, {{TCG ID|Neo Spring Road|No.2 Trainer|promo}}, or {{TCG ID|Neo Spring Road|No.3 Trainer|promo}} card. The Battle Road Summer 2002 players were awarded an {{TCG ID|Battle Road Summer 2002 finals|Elite Four Trainer|promo}} card.

The {{TCG|Pokémon Rumble}} card collection also used photography as illustrations for the cards. This nineteen card collection was released in conjunction with [[Pokémon Rumble]], and used screenshots from the game as their illustration. They were not credited with the normal ''Illus. by <name>'', but simply as ''[[Pokémon Rumble]]''.

Any cards with a Pokémon Pikachu copyright are considered to be photographs of the anime. These copyrights have been used for movie promotions ever since 2003, and are mostly used to represent anime characters or their Pokémon.

As part of a number of different activities at the Spring 2012 Battle Carnival events held in Japan between May and June 2012, a person or group could have their photograph taken at the Commemorative Photo Service Corner and have it printed on a [[Pokémon Card Game Trainer (BW-P Promo)|jumbo-sized card]].

'''Sablelock''' was widely regarded as the best deck in the format during the second half of the 2009-2010 season. Among many other tournament victories with the deck, a Sablelock player, Con Le, was the winner of the 2010 [[Play! Pokémon#National Championships|United States National Championships]]. Sablelock was played for its disruptive capabilities, ability to donk, and ease of setup. Many cards in Sablelock were {{TCG|Rotation|rotated}} prior to the 2011 United States [[Play! Pokémon#National Championships|National Championships]]; the deck is no longer legal for competitive play. An alternative variation of Sablelock, dubbed '''Chenlock''', relied heavily on {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Smeargle|8}} utilized {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Blaziken FB|2}} and {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Blaziken FB LV.X|142}} as alternative attackers.

==Strategy==
[[File:CyrusInitiativeSupremeVictors137.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Cyrus's Initiative|137}}]]
The ideal start for Sablelock was, as the name suggests, {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Sableye|48}}. Sableye's ''Overeager'' Poké-Body allowed the player to always go first when starting with it, except against another Sableye. Going first, although it prevented the player from using {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, {{TCG|Supporter card}}s, or {{TCG|Stadium card}}s, allowed Sableye to either knock out the opponent's Active Pokémon with ''Overconfident'' or use ''Impersonate'' to use whatever Supporter they chose. ''Overconfident'' cost only one {{e|Darkness}} energy. With a [[Darkness Energy (Special)|Special Darkness energy]], it reached 50 damage, enough to knock out many Basic Pokémon. {{TCG ID|Platinum|Crobat G|47}} could often be played to do an additional 10 damage with its ''Flash Bite'' Poké-Power. Sablelock occasionally won by knocking out the opponent's only Basic Pokémon on the first turn. However, if a knockout was not possible, ''Impersonate'' was used. Generally, the Supporter chosen was a {{TCG|Cyrus's Initiative}} to decrease the opponent's options early in the game, but if Sablelock was subject to a bad start, {{TCG|Pokémon Collector}} and {{TCG|Cyrus's Conspiracy}} were common choices.

After the first turn, Sablelock attempted to lock down the opponent by limiting the cards they had in hand through Cyrus's Initiative, {{TCG|Judge}}, {{TCG ID|Platinum|Giratina|9}}, and {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-103 Power Spray|Power Spray}}. Judge and Giratina's ''Let Loose'' Poké-Power functioned in essentially the same way, dropping the opponent's hand size to four cards. {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Chatot G|54}} could rearrange the top four cards of the opponent's deck so that they could not draw into useful cards and recover from the lock. While limiting the opponent's options, Sablelock aimed to snipe the opponent's bench and knocks out their Basics for cheap prizes using {{TCG ID|Platinum|Honchkrow G|77}} and {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Garchomp C LV.X|145}}.

[[File:CyrusConspiracyPlatinum105.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|Platinum|Cyrus's Conspiracy|105}}]]
Sablelock had a strong {{TCG|engine}} in {{TCG|Cyrus's Conspiracy}}. Cyrus's Conspiracy allowed the player to search their deck for one Supporter card, one Trainer card with ''Team Galactic's Invention'' in its name, and one {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}. This meant that the Sablelock player could usually keep their hand stocked with useful Supporters, keep up a high level of disruption with Power Spray, and always have the Energy necessary to attack. {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}} was a critical part of the deck because it provided a powerful drawing ability in its ''Set Up'' Poké-Power. Early in the game, Sablelock often ran low on cards. ''Set Up'' replenished the hand by allowing the player to draw until they had seven cards. Uxie could later be leveled up into {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie LV.X|146}} for extra drawing with its ''Trade Off'' Poké-Power and a powerful attack in ''Zen Blade''.

==Key Cards==
* '''{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Sableye|48}}''' - Sableye was used to take early knockouts with ''Overconfident'' and for earlygame setup and/or disruption with ''Impersonate''.
* '''{{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Garchomp C LV.X|145}}''' - Garchomp C LV.X provided a powerful attacker that could do 80 damage to any opponent's Pokémon for only {{e|Colorless}}{{e|Colorless}}{{e|Colorless}} with ''Dragon Rush''. This cost was generally covered by {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-101 Energy Gain|Energy Gain}} and one {{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}}.
* {{TCG ID|Platinum|Honchkrow G|77}} - Essentially a weaker but more consistent version of Garchomp C LV.X, Honchkrow G could do 40 damage to any Pokémon in play with damage on it for {{e|Colorless}}{{e|Darkness}} with ''Target Attack''. If a Sableye start was not possible, Honchkrow G could also assist the Sablelock player's setup with ''Honcho's Command''.
* {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Honchkrow|29}} - Honchkrow was the deck's heavy hitter. It was used to knock out an opponent's Active Pokémon, whereas Garchomp C LV.X was typically used to attack the bench. It was initially used in the deck as a counter to {{TCG|Machamp archetype|Machamp}}, a tremendous threat to Sablelock.
* {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}} - Uxie was a one-time-use support Pokémon, allowing the player to draw extra cards with its ''Set Up'' Poké-Power.
* {{TCG|Cyrus's Conspiracy}} - As described above, Cyrus's Conspiracy was the deck's most important searching Supporter card.
* {{TCG|Cyrus's Initiative}} - Cyrus's Initiative was commonly used through Sableye's ''Impersonate'' to limit the opponent's cards in hand early in the game.
* {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-105 Poké Turn|Poké Turn}} - Poké Turn allowed the Sablelock player to scoop up any {{TCG|Pokémon SP}} and return it to their hand. This effect was often used to allow the usage of ''Dragon Rush'' two turns in a row by scooping up Garchomp C LV.X; to use Crobat G's ''Flash Bite'' multiple times; or to rectify a bad start such as {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Chatot G|54}}.
* {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-103 Power Spray|Power Spray}} was used to prevent the opponent from using Poké-Powers to set up early in the game. Power Spraying an opponent's ''{{tt|Set Up|Uxie's Poké-Power}}'' could be devastating if the opponent had few cards in their hand.
* {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-101 Energy Gain|Energy Gain}} was used to power Garchomp C LV.X's ''Dragon Rush'', and the attacks of other Pokémon SP, more efficiently.
* {{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}} - Double Colorless Energy was vitally important to Sablelock, as it provided an inexpensive way to power up Garchomp C LV.X's ''Dragon Rush'' and Honchkrow's ''Riot'' attacks.
* Chatot G - Chatot G's Poké-Power, ''Disrupting Spy'', let the user look at the top four cards of the opponent's deck and put them back in any order. This generally allowed the Sablelock player to force the opponent to draw poorly, furthering the extent to which their setup was disrupted. Chatot G could use its free attack, ''Search and Escape'', to search the deck for a trainer card and also putting Chatot G in the deck.

==Possible Tech Cards==
[[File:MewtwoLVXLegendsAwakened144.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Mewtwo LV.X|144}}]]
''The following cards are often used in Sablelock in place of certain cards included in the above list.''
* {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Blaziken FB|2}} and {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Blaziken FB LV.X|142}} - Although Blaziken FB LV.X was used exclusively as an additional attacker, Blaziken FB had the potential to assist with Sablelock's disruption goal. With its ''Luring Flame'' attack, Blaziken FB could bring up an opponent's benched Pokémon to the active spot. The ability to remove the opponent's starter from the active position and bring up a weakened attacker or support Pokémon from the opponent's bench proved greatly valuable in Chenlock variants of the deck.
* {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Smeargle|8}} - After its release in the {{TCG|Undaunted}} expansion, Smeargle became almost a staple in Sablelock variants. Two to three copies of the card were used for its ''Portrait'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}}, which often allowed the deck an extra {{TCG|Supporter card}} play each turn. Smeargle is not included in the above list, as its inclusion in the deck came after the height of Sablelock's popularity.
* {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Mewtwo LV.X|144}} - Mewtwo LV.X provides a way to easily beat other decks based on Pokémon SP. Its Poké-Body, ''Psybarrier'' prevents it from being damaged by Basic Pokémon.
* {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Azelf|19}} - Azelf's ''Time Walk'' Poké-Power can be used in the event that an important Pokémon card(s) is prized. The above build does not use Azelf because it runs two of most critical Pokémon, such as Garchomp C LV.X and Honchkrow.
* {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Slowking|12}} - Slowking's Poké-Power, ''Second Sight'', lets the user look at the top three cards of the opponent's or user's deck and put them back on top in any order. This is very similar to Chatot G's ''Disrupting Spy''. However, it can look at the top cards of both decks and can only look at the top three cards. Slowking can take up bench space and can't be picked up by Poké-Turn like Chatot G can but it can look at the top cards of the opponent's deck every turn so the user can disrupt, unlike Chatot G which has to be picked up in order to use its Poké-Power again.
* {{TCG|Cyclone Energy}} - Cyclone Energy fits in with the concept of disruption, since it forces the opponent to change their Active Pokémon and, as a result, their attacking pattern.
* {{TCG|Aaron's Collection}} - Aaron's Collection can be used in place of Palmer's Contribution. Although it does not allow the Sablelock player to retrieve as many Pokémon and Energies from their discard pile, they are placed into the player's hand rather than shuffled into their deck.

[[File:Kalos starters XY anime.png|thumb|250px|Anime artwork of the [[Kalos]] starter Pokémon]]
At the beginning of their quest, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are given a '''starter Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''はじめてのポケモン''' ''Beginning Pokémon'' or '''{{tt|最初|さいしょ}}のポケモン''' ''first Pokémon''; known as '''{{tt|御三家|ごさんけ (gosanke)}}''' ''the big three'' among Japanese fans). This {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} will be used to {{pkmn|battle}} the first [[wild Pokémon]] that the Trainer encounters.

Once another Pokémon is {{pkmn2|caught}}, the starter Pokémon may be retired, but it is often with this Pokémon that Trainers learn [[friendship]] and trust. As such, even advanced Trainers may still use their starter Pokémon, and they will often be the most powerful Pokémon on their respective teams.

In the [[core series]] games, it is said that the starter Pokémon are extremely rare, giving the player a reason why the Pokémon not chosen can't be found in the wild.

==In the games==
In the core series {{pkmn|games}} ([[Pokémon Yellow Version|with two]] [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|exceptions]]), the player can choose a {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Water}}-, or {{type|Grass}} starter Pokémon at [[level]] 5. At least one of the player's [[rival]]s will also always choose or have a starter Pokémon, typically the one that has a type advantage over the player's.

===Starter Pokémon===

In [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]], [[Professor Oak]] will bring Trainers to his lab to give them one of the following to begin their journey:

|}

The player's {{ga|Blue|rival}} will then pick the type-advantageous starter Pokémon, and the remaining Pokémon will sit in its {{i|Poké Ball}} on Oak's desk for the rest of the game.

In FireRed and LeafGreen, the choice of starter Pokémon also determines which of the [[Legendary beasts]] will roam the Kanto region after defeating [[Team Rocket]] in the [[Sevii Islands]]—if the player chooses Bulbasaur, {{p|Entei}} will appear, {{p|Suicune}} will appear to those who chose Charmander, and {{p|Raikou}} will appear to those that went with Squirtle.

Professor Oak offers one of this trio of Pokémon to the player in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} after the player has defeated {{ga|Red}}, making reference to the fact that he gives them out as starter Pokémon in Kanto-based games, suggesting the player will be able to make it to [[Viridian City|the next town]] with one of these Pokémon by their side.

[[Professor Sycamore]] will let the player choose one of these three Pokémon after meeting him in person and beating his team of Kanto starters in {{pkmn|battle}}. After making their choice, Professor Sycamore will give the player a [[Mega Stone]] corresponding to the chosen starter's final evolution; [[Venusaurite]] for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, [[Charizardite X]]{{sup/6|X}}/[[Charizardite Y]]{{sup/6|Y}} for {{p|Charmander}}, and [[Blastoisinite]] for {{p|Squirtle}}. The middle stages of the starters can be found in the [[Friend Safari]].

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the Kanto starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Melemele Island]].

In {{game|Yellow}}, due to being based on the {{pkmn|anime}}, Oak instead gives out:

|-
| style="background:#{{electric color}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{tcolor|Electric|FFF}}
|}

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], players will start with {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Eevee}}, depending on which version of the game they are playing. These Pikachu and Eevee are considered special, separate forms commonly referred to by the game as {{ga|Partner Pokémon}}.

After the player meets with [[Mr. Pokémon]] and receives a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]], Professor Elm will call the player to tell them that {{ga|Silver|a thief}} has taken a Pokémon. As the player returns to [[New Bark Town]], they will encounter the thief, who will have the stolen Pokémon with the type advantage over the player's own. From this point onward, the thief will be the player's rival, while Professor Elm keeps the Pokémon that was left behind by the thief on his desk for the remainder of the game (in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the last Pokémon mysteriously disappears at some point).

In Generation II, the Pokémon will be holding a {{i|Berry}} when received from Elm, though the rival's stolen starter Pokémon will not.

In {{game|Emerald}}, after the player has caught all Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn Pokédex]] with the exception of {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}, [[Professor Birch]] will offer one of these Pokémon as a reward.

In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], the middle stages of the Johto starters are caught as [[Shadow Pokémon]] from a Mystery Troop member. Only one is available for the player to obtain during the main game, while the other two are only available during the post-game. The color of the outfit for the corresponding Mystery Troop member is the same as the type for the Johto starter they have.

In {{Pokémon XD}}, after the player has cleared the entirety of [[Mt. Battle]] without touching a [[PC]] or retiring, [[Battlus]] will offer one of these Pokémon as a reward. The player can obtain all three Pokémon with consecutive challenges.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the player first enters the [[Hall of Fame]] and meets [[Zinnia]], Professor Birch can be found being chased by a {{p|Shroomish}} on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and the player will be allowed to choose one of the Johto starters.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the Johto starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Melemele Island]].

The player's neighbor, {{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}}, already has their starter Pokémon, which is always the one with the type advantage. What happens to the starter not selected is unknown. By the end of Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, it seems that the player's nominal rival, the son/daughter of Professor Birch, has stopped being a Trainer, and Wally is actually the true rival, facing the player before they can leave {{ho|Victory Road}} and staying there to have [[rematch]]es with the player later. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Brendan or May's role as an [[Non-player character|NPC]] is slightly expanded, acting as a post-credits battle in which they gain access to Mega Evolution for their starter Pokémon.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Steven Stone]] offers one of these Pokémon to the player after they have defeated {{ga|Red}}.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the middle stages of the Hoenn starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Akala Island]].

=====[[Sinnoh]]=====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, when two {{p|Starly}} attack the player and rival at [[Lake Verity]], to which they travel upon hearing reports of a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}, they will choose one of the following from [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase, which he left at the lake:

The player's friend and rival {{ga|Barry}} will choose the starter Pokémon that has a type advantage against the player's choice, and the [[non-player character|NPC]] who is the other-gender choice ({{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}) will have the Pokémon weak to the player's choice, and therefore strong against Barry's. After fighting off the two Starly at the lake and returning the briefcase to Rowan, the professor will allow the player and {{ga|Barry}} to keep the Pokémon they used.

In {{game|Platinum}}, the player and the rival are stopped by Professor Rowan just as they are about to run through tall grass to get to Sandgem Town to ask the Professor for Pokémon. After some questions about the player and the rival's love for Pokémon, he decides to entrust them with one starter Pokémon each.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]] for the second time, Professor Birch can be found being chased by his wife on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and the player will be allowed to choose one of the Sinnoh starters.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the middle stages of the Sinnoh starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Ula'ula Island]].

=====[[Unova]]=====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Professor Juniper]] leaves a gift with the player's {{OBP|Mom|Black and White}} in [[Nuvema Town]] to give to them, containing the following three Pokémon:

The player's friend [[Cheren]] will choose the Pokémon that is strong against the player's choice, while the player's other friend [[Bianca]] will choose the one weak to the player's choice. The choice of starter Pokémon affects which of the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Striaton City]] will be battled; players who chose Snivy will face [[Chili]], a {{type|Fire}} specialist, players who chose Tepig will face [[Cress]], a {{type|Water}} specialist, and players who chose Oshawott will face [[Cilan]], a {{type|Grass}} specialist. Also, the choice affects the [[Elemental monkeys|Pokémon]] given to the player in the [[Dreamyard]]. Choosing Snivy gives the player a {{p|Panpour}}, Tepig a {{p|Pansage}}, and Oshawott a {{p|Pansear}}.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Bianca takes three starter Pokémon to [[Aspertia City]] on Professor Juniper's behalf and offers one of them to the player. The player's friend, [[Hugh]], will have the Pokémon that is strong against the player's choice, having raised it from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. The player character not chosen will have the starter that is weak to the player's choice, but only seen in its second form.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the [[Delta Episode]] is completed, Professor Birch can be found being chased by a {{p|Machoke}} on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and the player will be allowed to choose one of the Unova starters.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the Unova starters' final forms can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Poni Island]].

=====[[Kalos]]=====
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the player, [[Shauna]], and {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}} receive their starter Pokémon in [[Aquacorde Town]] from [[Tierno]], who was asked by [[Professor Sycamore]] to deliver them.

The player's friend [[Shauna]] will choose the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's choice, while the player's other friend {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}} will choose the one with a type advantage to the player's choice. The choice of starter Pokémon affects which Pokémon Shauna will [[In-game trade|trade]] with the player after the player enters in the [[Hall of Fame]]. Shauna will trade the unevolved form of her starter Pokémon, having received it as an {{pkmn|Egg}}. The choice of starter Pokémon also determines which of the [[Legendary birds]] will [[Roaming Pokémon|roam]] the [[Kalos]] region after defeating the [[Pokémon League]]—if the player chooses Chespin, {{p|Articuno}} will appear, {{p|Zapdos}} will appear to those who chose Fennekin, and {{p|Moltres}} will appear to those that went with Froakie. The middle stages of the starters can be found in the [[Friend Safari]].

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the Kalos starters' final forms can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Poni Island]].

=====[[Alola]]=====
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the player receives their starter Pokémon in [[Iki Town]] from [[Hala]] and [[Professor Kukui]]. In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], the player receives one from the Professor on {{rt|1|Alola}}. The player's friend [[Hau]] will choose the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's choice. Teacher Emily in the Trainer's School will use the starter that has a type advantage over the player's choice.

During the player's Champion{{sup/7|SM}} and Title Defense battles, Professor Kukui will use the final evolution of the starter Pokémon with the type advantage to the player's choice. [[Gladion]]'s {{p|Silvally}} will also be holding the [[memory]] of the type the player's starter is weak to. Hau's {{p|Eevee}} will evolve into the [[Eeveelution]] whose type has the advantage to the player's choice. Gladion, in his [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|Title Defense]] battle in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], will have a fully evolved Kanto Starter whose type is the same as the player's starter.

=====[[Galar]]=====
The recently announced [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] will feature these three Pokémon as starter Pokémon. The starters' evolutions have not yet been announced.

====Other notable in-game starters====
* The rival of {{game|Yellow}}, {{ga|Blue}}, starts with an {{p|Eevee}} originally intended for the player. The Eevee will evolve into a {{p|Vaporeon}} if the player loses against the rival at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|the lab]] and either loses or skips the battle on {{rt|22|Kanto}}, {{p|Jolteon}} if the player wins against the rival at both locations, and {{p|Flareon}} if the player wins against the rival once at either location, and loses or skips the other battle.
* [[Wally]], with the help of the player and [[Norman|their father]], will catch a {{p|Ralts}}.
* The player character not chosen in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Lyra}}, will have a {{p|Marill}}.
* In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun]], the [[Pokédex]] identifies the [[Ultra Beast]] {{p|Poipole}} as a common choice for a starter Pokémon in [[Ultra Megalopolis|its own world]].

A first for the Pokémon games, these starter Pokémon come as a pair as to represent the [[Double Battle]] system, and are also different in that they are in the player's possession right at start of play. Umbreon is at level 26, knowing the [[TM]] moves {{m|Taunt}} and {{m|Snatch}}, as well as {{m|Bite}} which is otherwise only available through {{pkmn|breeding}} at such a level. Espeon is at level 25, knowing the TM moves {{m|Return}} (while also starting with maximum [[friendship]]) and {{m|Reflect}}. Both are always male.

This starter Pokémon is in the player's possession right at the beginning of the game. It is at level 10 and knows {{m|Bite}}, which Eevee does not normally know at this level without {{pkmn|breeding}}. At an early point in the game, the player is offered one of five evolutionary items—[[Water Stone]], [[Thunder Stone|Thunderstone]], [[Fire Stone]], [[Moon Shard]], and [[Sun Shard]]—to allow the Eevee to evolve into any of its [[Eeveelution|evolutions]] that existed in [[Generation III]].

In Pokémon XD, if the player completes the [[Mt. Battle]] challenge and defeats all 100 Trainers without quitting or switching Pokémon, [[Battlus]] will give one of the Johto starter Pokémon as a reward.

=====[[Pokétopia]]=====
In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], the player's starter Pokémon are determined by the gender specified on their [[Rental Pass]] or [[Custom Pass]]. They are all at level 50.

Male players start out with the following Pokémon:

==In the anime==
[[File:Sinnoh Starter Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|The Sinnoh starter Pokémon in [[Professor Rowan]]'s laboratory]]
Upon their tenth birthday, youths can register for a [[Pokédex]] and pick up a starter Pokémon from the local [[Pokémon Professor]] or [[Pokémon Center]] free of charge. Starter Pokémon are usually raised specifically to be easy to train.

Like in the games, the specific starter Pokémon available vary from region to region, but are the same in each region as the games. That is, Kanto Trainers can only choose Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle; Johto Trainers can only choose Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile; and so on.

In ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', it was shown where starter Pokémon come from. Each region has special, secret breeding grounds run by a [[Pokémon Breeder]] for starter Pokémon. The [[Pokémon League]] sends these Breeders the Pokémon Eggs for them to hatch at the breeding grounds. The breeders then hatch, care for, and raise the young Pokémon until they are ready to be proper starter Pokémon for new Trainers. As these young ones are virtually defenseless, the locations of breeding grounds (or even the knowledge of their existence) is a secret unknown to most in the [[Pokémon world]]. This is likely to guard against unscrupulous individuals or groups (such as [[Team Rocket]]) from poaching the young Pokémon.

However, not all starter Pokémon are raised at these special breeding grounds, with [[Professor Birch]] said to catch and raise his own starter Pokémon for Trainers. 

Other rookie Trainers may receive their first Pokémon from a friend or relative instead. Others, on the other hand, may befriend a Pokémon in the wild. These mean that Trainers can, in fact, start with any Pokémon.

* The alternate version of Gary from ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' started with a Squirtle, which he received from Professor Oak.
* Alternate versions of {{OBP|Marina|EP091}} and {{an|Tierno}} from ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' started with a Bulbasaur and Charmander, respectively, both received from Professor Oak.

Several characters have also caught Pokémon in the {{pkmn2|wild}} that are, in the games, only available as starter Pokémon.
* Ash caught a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, a {{p|Charmander}}, and a {{AP|Squirtle}} in quick succession in the [[Kanto]] region. Of the three, only Charmander evolved, becoming a {{p|Charmeleon}}, and later a {{AP|Charizard}}, both of which were ''very'' disobedient to Ash until [[EP105|an incident]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]], after which it served Ash as it had when it was a Charmander. Bulbasaur was also going to evolve, but decided itself against becoming an {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''.
** In the alternate continuity of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} only caught a Charmander, which also went on to evolve.
* Ash also caught the three [[Johto]] region starter Pokémon, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{AP|Totodile}}, of which Chikorita and Cyndaquil evolved into {{AP|Bayleef}} and {{AP|Quilava}}, respectively.
* Ash caught a {{AP|Treecko}} in [[Hoenn]], while Brock captured a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. Treecko evolved twice, becoming {{AP|Sceptile}} before Ash left it at Professor Oak's lab, while Brock's Mudkip evolved into {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}}. Along with May's {{TP|May|Torchic}}, the traveling trio had the three starter Pokémon of Hoenn.
* {{an|May}} caught a Bulbasaur midway through her journey in Hoenn, and was given a {{TP|May|Squirtle}} by Professor Oak when she journeyed to Kanto. Bulbasaur evolved all the way into {{TP|May|Venusaur}} and Squirtle evolved into {{TP|May|Wartortle}} during May's travels through Johto.
* In [[Sinnoh]], Ash repeated himself by catching {{AP|Turtwig}}, which has since evolved into a {{AP|Torterra}}. His rival, [[Paul]], owned a Chimchar that was confirmed to be caught in the wild. It was released, recaught by Ash, and is now an {{AP|Infernape}}.
* Dawn {{pkmn|Egg|hatched}} a {{p|Cyndaquil}} during her journey in Sinnoh. It later evolved into {{TP|Dawn|Quilava}}.
* Ash reused his pattern from the [[original series]] of catching all starter Pokémon in [[Unova]]: {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}}, and {{AP|Snivy}}. However, this time around, he caught them in reverse of the Pokédex order rather than following it as he did in the original series, and Oshawott was in fact a starter Pokémon that Professor Juniper allowed Ash to have after it ran away to be with him. Of the three, only Tepig has evolved, becoming a {{p|Pignite}}.
* Gary Oak had an {{TP|Gary|Eevee}} at least since Ash was traveling in the [[Orange Archipelago]]. As it was revealed to be under his ownership before his Blastoise, it caused many to hearken back to {{game|Yellow}}, where the player starts with {{p|Pikachu}}, like Ash, and the rival starts with Eevee. Either way, it was disproven that this was the case when Gary finally revealed his Blastoise to Ash. His Eevee eventually evolved into {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}.
* Ash caught a {{TP|Ash|Froakie}} in [[Kalos]], which used to belong to several other Trainers before being abandoned or abandoning the Trainer. It has since evolved into a {{p|Greninja}}.
* {{an|Clemont}} obtained a {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} in Kalos. It originally belonged to Professor Sycamore as a starting Pokémon for new Trainers.
* {{an|Lana}} is revealed to have caught a {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} in [[Alola]]. Popplio was rescued from being abused by members of [[Team Skull]]. It has since then evolved into {{TP|Lana|Primarina}}.
* While Ash was in Alola, he caught a {{AP|Rowlet}} who was living in a flock of {{p|Pikipek}}, a {{p|Trumbeak}}, and a {{p|Toucannon}}. Ash also encountered a {{AP|Litten}} a few times before finally earning its trust and capturing it. Litten has since evolved into a {{p|Torracat}}.

==In the manga==
===In the Be the Best! Pokémon B+W manga===
[[File:Cheren and Unova starters PBW.png|thumb|200px|The fully evolved Unova starter Pokémon in Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]]
[[Monta]], [[Bianca]], and [[Cheren]] received a {{TP|Monta|Snivy}}, {{TP|Bianca|Oshawott}}, and Tepig respectively as their first Pokémon. They ended up evolving into their final stages later on.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], unlike the anime from which the manga was based on, new Pokémon Trainers do not appear to be given any sort of starter Pokémon. {{an|Professor Oak}} is not shown residing at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his laboratory]] handing out starter Pokémon to new Trainers, as in the anime, rather, he travels the [[Kanto]] region conducting research, often accompanied by [[Bill]]. Trainers in The Electric Tale of Pikachu must obtain a license before they can purchase [[Poké Ball]]s or otherwise capture and train Pokémon. {{Ash}} found {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} under the floorboards of his home, keeping it as his first Pokémon. It is not currently known what [[Gary Oak]]'s first Pokémon was in the manga.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the starter Pokémon featured in the games are reserved for the few people who hold a Pokédex. {{adv|Professor Oak}} produces three Pokédexes for each region, and gives out the three starter Pokémon in each region along with the Pokédex to Trainers he thinks are talented. He has colleagues and friends like Professor Birch do this for him in regions in which he isn't present. In the Unova region, two sets of starter Pokémon are given out to six Trainers, but still with only three Pokédexes. Professor Oak also gave Red's Pikachu as a special starter to Yellow.

Most characters in the manga do not start out with one of the Pokédex-related starter Pokémon. Instead, they usually have a Pokémon they were given by their parents when they were infants that they use as their starter Pokémon. Occasionally, it is not directly stated which Pokémon were their starter Pokémon in the manga, but in profiles of their teams, their starter Pokémon is marked with a star and is among the highest level in the party, even if they acquired more than one Pokémon at first.

====List of starter Pokémon in Pokémon Adventures====
* {{adv|Red}}'s first Pokémon was a [[Poli]]wag he had since his childhood, which has evolved into a {{p|Poliwrath}}. His "starter Pokémon" was a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] given to him by Professor Oak, which he nicknamed "Saur". He became a '''{{p|Venusaur}}''' in his travels.
* {{adv|Blue}}'s first Pokémon was a [[Blue's Scizor|Scyther]], now a {{p|Scizor}}, he took to the training with [[Chuck]]. His "starter Pokémon" was a {{TP|Blue|Charmander}} given to him by his grandfather, which evolved twice into a '''{{p|Charizard}}'''.
* {{adv|Green}}'s first Pokémon was a [[Jiggly]]puff, now a {{p|Wigglytuff}}, she received from the [[Masked Man]]. Her "starter Pokémon" was a [[Blasty|Squirtle]] she stole from Professor Oak, which she nicknamed "Blasty". He later evolved into a '''{{p|Blastoise}}'''.
* {{adv|Yellow}}'s first Pokémon was a [[Ratty|Rattata]] that Red taught her to caught, which has evolved into a {{p|Raticate}}. Later, she borrowed Red's '''[[Pika]]chu''', and after Red took him back, caught her "starter Pokémon", a '''[[Chuchu|female Pikachu]]''' for herself which she nicknamed "Chuchu". Like the Pikachu in {{v2|Yellow}}, neither evolved.
* {{adv|Gold}}'s first Pokémon was his [[Aibo|Aipom]], now an {{p|Ambipom}}, that his mother gave him. He borrowed his "starter Pokémon", a [[Exbo|Cyndaquil]], from Professor Elm, and was later allowed to keep the Cyndaquil which he nicknamed "Exbo". He later becomes a '''{{p|Typhlosion}}''' alongside the other two Johto starter Pokémon.
* {{adv|Silver}}'s first Pokémon was the [[Silver's Weavile|Sneasel]], now a {{p|Weavile}}, that {{adv|Giovanni}} gave to him as a child. He later stole his "starter Pokémon", a {{TP|Silver|Totodile}} from Professor Elm, as well as the first Pokédex of [[Johto]]. His starter Pokémon evolved twice into a '''{{p|Feraligatr}}'''.
* {{adv|Crystal}}'s first Pokémon is officially her {{p|Smoochum}}, although she acquired many wild Pokémon that lived as a family while she was in the wild. [[Megaree|Chikorita]] later ran away from Professor Elm to go with her, and became her "starter Pokémon" nicknamed "Megaree". He became a '''{{p|Meganium}}''' midway into their journey.
[[File:Ruby and his starters.png|thumb|200px|{{adv|Ruby}} and his first Pokémon from the left to the right: [[Rara]], [[Kiki]] and [[Nana]]]]
* {{adv|Ruby}}'s first Pokémon were the [[Nana|Poochyena]], [[Kiki|Skitty]] and [[Rara|Ralts]] that he received from his father, all of them having evolved into {{p|Mightyena}}, {{p|Delcatty}} and {{p|Gardevoir}} respectively. Later, he got his "starter Pokémon" from Professor Birch; a [[Mumu|Mudkip]] which he nicknamed "Mumu". He evolved into a '''{{p|Swampert}}''' from the battles he underwent.
* {{adv|Sapphire}}'s first Pokémon was the [[Rono|Aron]], now an {{p|Aggron}} her father gave her. Later, he gave her her "starter Pokémon", a [[Chic|Torchic]], which she nicknamed "Chic". She has since evolved twice under her Trainer's care into a '''{{p|Blaziken}}'''.
* When {{adv|Emerald}} arrived in the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, he had no Pokémon on hand. Then he challenged the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} using only [[rental Pokémon]], nearly at the end of the challenge, he noticed something suspicious about a '''{{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}''' so he decided to steal him from the facility and kept him afterwards, it is later is revealed that the Sceptile was supposed to be his in the first place, making him his "starter Pokémon". He evolved from his {{p|Grovyle}} stage in the wild, after evolving once in Wally's care. Except Sceptile, his first Pokémon he captured were [[Sudowoodo]] and [[Dusclops]].
* {{adv|Diamond}}'s first was his {{adv|Lax|Munchlax}}, and later he received his "starter Pokémon", a [[Tru|Turtwig]] from Platinum because of a misunderstanding. He has since evolved to '''{{p|Torterra}}''' alongside the others.
* {{adv|Pearl}}'s first was his [[Chatler|Chatot]], and later he received his "starter Pokémon", a [[Chimler|Chimchar]] from Platinum. The Chimchar has since evolved twice into an '''{{p|Infernape}}'''.
* {{adv|Platinum}}'s first Pokémon was her [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]], now a Rapidash, and later she received her "starter Pokémon", a [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]] from Professor Rowan. She has since become an '''{{p|Empoleon}}''' under her care.
* {{adv|Black}} started with a [[Brav|Rufflet]] that he captured with the help of a wild [[Musha|Munna]] he had befriended, and later acquired his "starter Pokémon", a [[Bo|Tepig]] from [[Professor Juniper]] which later evolved into an '''{{p|Emboar}}'''. Initially he was nicknamed "Tep", but the nickname was changed to "Nite" and eventually "Bo", making Black the only main character so far to change his Pokémon's nickname.
* {{adv|White}}'s first Pokémon was a Tepig named [[Gigi]]. She later acquires her "starter Pokémon", a {{adv|Amanda|Servine}}, which later evolved into a '''{{p|Serperior}}'''. This Servine, which White nicknamed "Amanda", was with [[N]] until Gigi decided to leave White to follow N. It was later revealed that Amanda was a Snivy that was going to be given out to new Trainers by Professor [[Cedric Juniper]], but was liberated by N. Except Gigi and Amanda, her first Pokémon she captured was [[Deerling]].
* {{adv|Blake}}'s first known Pokémon is a {{TP|Blake|Dewott}}, given to him by the [[International Police|International Police Headquarters]] so he would have a partner Pokémon.
* {{adv|Whitley}}'s first known Pokémon is a [[Foongy|Foongus]], given to her by [[Team Plasma]]'s [[Anthea and Concordia]], who allowed Whitley to pick the Pokémon she felt closest to.
* {{adv|X}}'s first known Pokémon is a [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kangaskhan]]. He later got a [[Marisso|Chespin]], nicknamed "Marisso", as his "starter Pokémon" after he accepted him as a member of his team. He has since become a '''{{p|Chesnaught}}''' under his care.
* {{adv|Y}}'s first known Pokémon is a [[Fletchy|Fletchling]]. She later got a [[Croaky|Froakie]], nicknamed "Croaky", as her "starter Pokémon" after she accepted him as a member of her team. He has since become a '''{{p|Greninja}}''' under her care.
* {{adv|Sun}}'s first known Pokémon is an Alolan [[Cent|Meowth]]. He is immediately shown as well with a {{p|Litten}} named {{adv|Dollar}} as his "starter Pokémon" that he got from [[Professor Kukui]]. He has since become a '''{{p|Torracat}}'''.
* {{adv|Moon}}'s first Pokémon is unknown, as she caught a {{p|Grubbin}}, {{alo|Grimer}}, and {{p|Mareanie}} around the same time. She is later given a {{p|Rowlet}} as her "starter Pokémon" from Professor Kukui. He has since become a '''{{p|Dartrix}}'''

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]], much like in the {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} video games on which the manga was based, {{GnB|Gold}} is offered the choice of one of the three [[Johto]] starter Pokémon - {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} or {{p|Totodile}} - to borrow so that he may run an errand for [[Professor Elm]]. Gold chooses Totodile, which Elm allows him to keep after the errand is completed. Also like in the games, {{GnB|Black}}, who is based on {{ga|Silver}}, steals a Chikorita from Elm's lab while Gold is away on his errand.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], {{PPM|Professor Oak}} is depicted distributing the choice of one out of three starter Pokémon - {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}} - to Pokémon Trainers as they begin their journeys, much like in other media. {{PPM|Green}} chooses {{TP|Green|Charmander}} as his starter Pokémon, and while {{PPM|Red}} was offered the choice as well, he decided to keep a {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} that he met on his way to Professor Oak's lab as his starter instead.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
In [[Pokémon Zensho]], much like in the {{game|Red and Green|s}} games on which the manga was based, [[Professor Oak]] offers {{Zensho|Satoshi}} and {{Zensho|Shigeru}} their choice of one out of three starter Pokémon - {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}}. Satoshi chooses Charmander, while Shigeru chooses Squirtle, leaving Bulbasaur with Professor Oak.

==Trivia==
* In interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] during 2009, he stated that starter Pokémon are the Pokémon from each game that the most work goes into, and usually take significantly more time than other Pokémon in each generation.
* Two of the three Unova starter Pokémon, {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Tepig}}, share the position of the starter Pokémon with the shortest name.
* The only two Starter Pokémon that are dual-type in their initial form, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Rowlet}}, are both {{type|Grass}}.

===In the games===
* All starter Pokémon in the [[core series]] besides Pikachu have a [[gender]] ratio of seven males to one female.
** Due to this, as well as the way in which gender and Shininess were determined, it was impossible to have a {{Shiny}} female starter Pokémon in [[Generation II]], as the lowest Attack {{IV}} a Shiny Pokémon could have was 2, while the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon in that gender group could have was 1.
* [[Kanto]]'s starter Pokémon are the only ones to appear in more than one [[regional Pokédex]]. They appear in [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto's]], [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto's]], and [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos's]].
* In the core series, when a starter Pokémon is first obtained, all are at level 5. Each knows one {{type|Normal}} [[physical move]] (either {{m|Tackle}}, {{m|Scratch}}, or {{m|Pound}}) and a stat-altering [[status move]] at this level, except for {{p|Pikachu}}, which has {{m|Thunder Shock}} instead of a Normal-type move. Starting in {{pkmn|X and Y}}, the starters also have an attacking move of their type at level 5.
* All Grass-type starter Pokémon have the Ability {{a|Overgrow}}, the Fire-type starters have {{a|Blaze}}, and the Water-type starters have {{a|Torrent}}. Starter Pokémon may have differing Hidden Abilities.
* {{p|Fennekin}} is the only unevolved starter Pokémon with a unique base stat total.
* The lowest base stat of a non-Mega Evolved fully-evolved starter Pokémon is {{p|Torterra}}'s {{stat|Speed}}, at 56. The highest base stat of a non-Mega Evolved fully-evolved starter Pokémon is {{p|Primarina}}'s {{stat|Special Attack}}, at 126.
* The Pikachu featured in Pokémon Yellow & Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and the Eevee in Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee! are the only starter Pokémon that cannot evolve in the game in which they are starter Pokémon.
** Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!'s respective starters are also the only ones that cannot be traded to other games.
* The Johto starter Pokémon are the only set of starter Pokémon that remain the same type in all their evolutionary forms.
* {{p|Charmander}} is the only Fire-type starter Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Field}}.
* {{p|Oshawott}} is the only Water-type starter Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Water 1}}.
* The Kalos starter Pokémon's secondary types in their final forms ({{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Psychic}}, and {{t|Dark}}) almost form another type-advantage triangle (where one type deals 2× damage to and receives ½× damage from another type), only being broken by the Dark type being completely immune to rather than resistant to the Psychic type.
** Both the primary and secondary types, however, fit a more generally defined triangle that only requires one type to be offensively and defensively advantaged against another. For example, just as Water has the offensive and defensive advantage against Fire, so does Dark against Psychic.
* It is stated in its Ultra Sun Pokédex entry that {{p|Poipole}} is a common starter Pokémon in [[Ultra Megalopolis]].
* No fully evolved Grass-type starter Pokémon has a higher base stat total than either of its two counterparts.
** Contrarily, no unevolved Grass-type starter Pokémon besides {{p|Chespin}} has a lower base stat total than either of its two counterparts.
** Similarly, no unevolved Fire-type starter has a higher base stat total than either its counterparts and no fully evolved Fire-type starter besides {{p|Blaziken}} has a lower one.

===In the anime===
* For [[DP001]], [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about the starter Pokémon of Sinnoh. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about them: 「シンオウで　たびがはじまる　ポケモンと」 ''"In [[Sinnoh]], a journey begins with Pokémon."''
* For [[BW003]], [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]] is about the starter Pokémon of Unova. He writes this senryū about them: 「パートナー　みず・くさ・ほのお　まよっちゃう」 ''"Partner, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, I can't decide."''
* Ash has owned all but one of the Grass-type starter Pokémon: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Treecko}}, {{AP|Turtwig}}, {{AP|Snivy}} and {{AP|Rowlet}}. The Grass-type starter from Kalos, {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}, is instead owned by {{an|Clemont}}.
* Each {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon obtained by a main character was not battled: [[Ash's Squirtle]], {{AP|Oshawott}} and {{AP|Froakie}} chose to join his team, while Ash fought and won against Misty for his {{AP|Totodile}}. Brock did not battle {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} to obtain it. May received her {{TP|May|Squirtle}} from [[Professor Oak]], Dawn received her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} from [[Professor Rowan]], and Lana rescued her {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} from Team Skull.
* {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Turtwig}} are both based on turtles and were the starter Pokémon of two of Ash's rivals, {{Gary}} and [[Paul]].
* {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}} are both based on birds (chicken, penguin). They were also both owned by the anime's resident [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s.
* Both May and Dawn have a second starter Pokémon from a previous generation with a type disadvantage to their first. These starter Pokémon are both from two generations prior to their owner's introduction, and featured in the anime likely due to the same-generation [[remake]]s.
* In the Diamond and Pearl series, there have been two major appearances of each fully evolved starter introduced in [[Generation IV]]: Ash and Paul's Torterra, Ash and Flint's Infernape, and Barry and Kenny's Empoleon.
* {{AP|Froakie|Greninja}} is the only Water-type starter that has ever evolved under Ash's ownership.
* The Kanto starters are the only ones to have all been owned by both Ash and one of his friends at some point in their evolutionary lines: May owns a {{TP|May|Venusaur}} and a {{TP|May|Wartortle}}, while Kiawe owns a {{TP|Kiawe|Charizard}}.

Engine (TCG)

2019-09-20T18:05:45Z

Lordfridge: made pronouns neutral

An '''engine''' in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] is a player-made term used to refer to a card or a series of cards that, when played, greatly increase a player's drawing or searching speed, thus helping them burn through their deck faster. The most well-known and effective engine is probably the {{TCG|Holon Engine}}, which consists entirely of Trainer and Supporter cards. However, while engines are often centered around Trainer cards, some engines are centered around Pokémon cards. However, if an engine is based around one or more Pokémon cards, the Pokémon will generally sit on a player's Bench and utilize its {{TCG|Poké-Power}}. Some cards could be considered engines by themselves, such as {{TCG ID|EX Power Keepers|Delcatty|8}}. In essence, the power of an engine is its drawing or searching ability.

==Single-card engines==
''Single-card engines are engines that are able to function virtually by themselves. However, they are '''often''' used in combination with other cards.''
===[[Magnezone (Triumphant 96)|Magnezone Prime]] ''Magnetic Draw'' engine===
The ''Magnetic Draw engine'' was centered almost entirely on [[Magnezone (Triumphant 96)|Magnezone Prime]]'s ''Magnetic Draw'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}}. Once per turn, ''Magnetic Draw'' allowed a player to draw cards until they had six cards in hand. Magnezone Prime-centric decks were particularly prevalent during the {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}-on format, when ''Magnetic Draw'' provided one of the only Pokémon-based draw engines. It was often used in combination with {{TCG|Judge}} in decks such as {{TCG|MegaZone}} to potentially leave the opponent with a small, useless hand while giving the Magnezone Prime player an out with ''Magnetic Draw''.

==={{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Ninetales|7}} ''Roast Reveal'' engine===
The ''Roast Reveal engine'' was based around {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Ninetales|7}}' ''Roast Reveal'' Poké-Power. Since it required a player to discard a {{e|Fire}} Energy from their hand, it was used primarily in {{TCG|Fire type|Fire-type}} decks, most notably {{TCG|Charizard archetype|Charizard}} and {{TCG|TyRam}}. ''Roast Reveal'' complemented [[Typhlosion (HeartGold & SoulSilver 110)|Typhlosion Prime]] well, as it could discard an Energy for later reattachment through Typhlosion Prime's ''Afterburner'' Poké-Power.

==={{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}} ''Cosmic Power'' engine===
The ''Cosmic Power engine'' utilized {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}}'s ''Cosmic Power'' Poké-Power to simply draw cards. ''Cosmic Power'' allows the player to put up to two cards from their hand on the bottom of their deck and draw cards until they have six in their hand. ''Cosmic Power'' is one of the simplest, yet most effective engines to date, yet it is not without its problems. Since Claydol sits on the Bench, it is vulnerable to being sniped by attacks such as {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Garchomp C LV.X|145}}'s ''Dragon Rush'', at which point the Claydol player may be left without a way to reliably draw cards.

[[File:DelcattyEXPowerKeepers8.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|EX Power Keepers|Delcatty|8}}]]
==={{TCG ID|EX Power Keepers|Delcatty|8}} ''Energy Draw'' engine===
The ''Energy Draw engine'' was centered around {{TCG ID|EX Power Keepers|Delcatty|8}}, from the {{TCG|EX Ruby & Sapphire}} and {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}} expansions, and its Poké-Power, ''Energy Draw''. ''Energy Draw'' allows the player to discard an {{TCG|Energy card}} from their hand to draw up to three cards, once per turn. This was exceptionally useful in decks that actually benefited from discarding Energies, such as {{TCG|Infercatty}}.

==={{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Pidgeot|10}} ''Quick Search'' engine===
The ''Quick Search engine'' utilized {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Pidgeot|10}} from the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}} expansion. Pidgeot had a Poké-Power called ''Quick Search'' which allowed the player to search for any one card from their deck and add it to their hand, once per turn. This was not stackable, meaning that if one had multiple Pidgeot in play, they could still only use the power once. However, Pidgeot was ''the'' backbone support Pokémon of many EX-era decks. It was often used in combination with a variety of searching and drawing {{TCG|Trainer}} and {{TCG|Supporter}} cards, most notably {{TCG|Rare Candy}} to make it easier to get out.

==Multi-card engines==
[[File:CastawayEXCrystalGuardians72.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Castaway|72}}]]
==={{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Castaway|72}} engine===
The ''Castaway engine'' was centered around {{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Castaway|72}}, a {{TCG|Supporter card}} from the {{TCG|EX Crystal Guardians}} expansion. Castaway was often used in non-δ decks during the {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}}-onward {{TCG|Rotation}}. Castaway was often used in combination with {{TCG ID|EX Power Keepers|Scott|81}}, {{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Cessation Crystal|74}}, {{TCG ID|EX Emerald|Battle Frontier|75}}, and others to disrupt the opponent's strategy while making sure the Castaway player always had resources in their hand as well as Basic Energy cards.

===Holon engine===
{{main|Holon Engine (TCG)}}

===Cyrus engine/SP engine===
The ''SP engine'', also known as the '''Cyrus engine''', centered around the {{TCG ID|Platinum|Cyrus's Conspiracy|105}} Supporter from the {{TCG|Platinum}} expansion, as well as a number of SP Trainers. Generally, Cyrus's Conspiracy was used in combination with [[Team Galactic's Invention G-109 SP Radar (Rising Rivals 96)|SP Radar]], [[Team Galactic's Invention G-101 Energy Gain (Platinum 116)|Energy Gain]], [[Team Galactic's Invention G-103 Power Spray (Platinum 117)|Power Spray]], [[Team Galactic's Invention G-105 Poké Turn (Platinum 118)|Poké Turn]], and a number of single copies of other Supporter cards. Cyrus's Conspiracy was remarkably similar to Castaway. However, Cyrus's Conspiracy allowed the player to search for a Trainer card with ''Team Galactic's Invention'' in its name, rather than a Pokémon Tool card. The Cyrus Engine was the primary manner in which SP decks, such as {{TCG|LuxApe}} and {{TCG|LuxChomp}}, set up and caused disruption. It was often used in combination with {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}} for drawpower.

Durant Mill (TCG)

|title=Durant Mill

|era=2011-2012
}}

'''Durant Mill''', also known simply as '''Durant''', was a competitive {{TCG|deck archetype}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. Unlike most decks, it focuses on using {{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Durant|83}}'s ''Devour'' attack to cause the opponent to be [[Pokémon Trading Card Game#How to play|unable to draw any more cards]], causing them to lose. Although a heavily modified version of the deck was created for the 2012-2013 Organized Play season, the loss of critical cards such as Pichu and Twins due to format rotation kept it from seeing much success.

== Strategy ==
The strategy of this deck is to cause the opponent lose by "decking out", or running out of cards to draw. The deck's favored starter is {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Pichu|28}}, whose ''Playground'' attack permits both players to fill their benches with any basic Pokémon from their decks. This allows the player to immediately put all four {{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Durant|83}} into play. Because Durant's ''Devour'' attack discards the top card of the opponent's deck for each Durant in play, this maximizes the number of cards discarded each turn. The final Pokémon, {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Rotom|20}}, allows the player to retrieve any Durant which are in the Prize Cards, which can be checked using {{TCG ID|Triumphant|Alph Lithograph|FOUR}}.

Once set up, the Durant Mill player would attempt to slow the opponent using various Trainer cards in order to prevent them from taking all six prize cards before running out of cards.

== Cards ==
=== Pokémon ===
*{{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Durant|83}} depletes the opponent's deck by using its ''Devour'' attack. Four Durant in play are used for a decent amount of the opponent's cards to be discarded each turn.
*{{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Pichu|28}} lets the Durant Mill player set up the necessary Basic Pokémon using its ''Playground'' attack.
*{{TCG ID|Undaunted|Rotom|20}} is used to let the player swap a face-down Prize Card with the first card in the player's deck, using its ''Mischievous Trick'' [[Pokémon Power|Poké-Power]], in case a Durant card is one of the Prize Cards.

=== Trainers ===
*{{TCG ID|Base Set|Revive|89}} moves a Basic Pokémon from the discard pile to the bench. This allows any Durant which are knocked-out to be quickly put back into play.
*{{TCG ID|Triumphant|Alph Lithograph|FOUR}} allows the player to look at all of their face-down Prize Cards, and helps the player utilize Rotom effectively.
*{{TCG ID|Triumphant|Junk Arm|87}} lets the player search their discard pile for a Trainer card (besides Junk Arm) at the cost of discarding two cards. This enables the player to reuse discarded Revives, Lost Removers, Pokémon Catchers, and Crushing Hammers.
*{{TCG ID|Call of Legends|Lost Remover|80}} moves a Special Energy card from one of the opponent's Pokémon to the {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Lost Zone}}, eliminating the Energy card from play. This slows down the rate at which the opponent can power up attackers.
*{{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Pokémon Catcher|95}} replaces the opponent's Active Pokémon with a Benched Pokémon. This could be used to stall by trapping Pokémon with high retreat costs.
*{{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Crushing Hammer|92}} has a 50% chance of discarding one of the opponent's Pokémon's Energy.
*{{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Eviolite|91}} reduces damage taken by the Basic Pokémon that the Eviolite card is attached to. It is used to make Durant more difficult to knock out.
*{{TCG ID|Triumphant|Twins|89}} allows the player to search for any two cards and put them into the player's hand, provided they have more prize cards remaining than their opponent. Because Durant Mill isn't focused on knocking out Pokémon, the Durant Mill Player will almost always be able to play Twins.

Gyarados archetype (TCG)

The '''Gyarados archetype''' was a popular deck in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. After appearing sometime shortly after the release of {{TCG|Stormfront}}, the deck gained recognition and was played heavily during the 2009-2010 [[Play! Pokémon|Pokémon Organized Play]] season. It placed well in numerous tournaments but saw a decline in use as {{TCG|LuxChomp}} grew in popularity. Although its merits were frequently discussed, many players moved away from Gyarados as a competitive archetype in favor of decks requiring more finesse, such as {{TCG|Sablelock}} and the aforementioned LuxChomp. However, after the release of the {{TCG|Triumphant}} expansion late in 2010, Gyarados was seen as more viable than ever due to the inclusion of {{TCG|Junk Arm}} and {{TCG|Rescue Energy}} in the new set.

==Strategy==
[[File:RegiceLegendsAwakened36.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Regice|36}}]]
Although versions including certain tech cards will be more complex, Gyarados has one of the most straightforward strategies of any archetype today. {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Sableye|48}} is the deck's ideal starter, as its ''Impersonate'' attack can be used to give the player an additional {{TCG|Supporter card}} play on the first turn. When used to utilize the effect of {{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}, {{TCG|Cyrus's Conspiracy}}, or any other of the deck's numerous searching or drawing Supporter cards, Sableye's ''Impersonate'' can give Gyarados a remarkably fast setup. After two or three turns, the deck aims to have one {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Gyarados|19}} on the field with three {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Magikarp|65}} in the discard pile. This allows Gyarados to do maximum damage with its ''Tail Revenge'' attack, which does 30 damage for each Magikarp in the player's discard.

To get multiple Magikarp in the discard pile, the deck employs {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Regice|36}}, {{TCG|Junk Arm}}, and {{TCG|Volkner's Philosophy}}. Regice's ''Regi Move'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}} forces the opponent to switch out their active {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} with a Benched Pokémon, and makes the Gyarados player discard two cards from their hand.

Once the Gyarados player has one Gyarados on the field along with as many Magikarp as possible in the discard pile, the deck's strategy is simply to keep Gyarados alive while taking as many prizes as possible. With {{TCG|Expert Belt}}, Gyarados's ''Tail Revenge'' can do 110 damage, enough to knock out many Pokémon and enough to severely damage all others. Since ''Tail Revenge'' has no {{TCG|Energy card|Energy cost}}, the deck can afford much more room to situation Trainer and Supporter cards such as {{TCG|Warp Point}}, {{TCG|Seeker}}, and {{TCG|Pokémon Rescue}}. The deck can afford to use multiple {{TCG|Luxury Ball}}, since Junk Arm's ability to retrieve it allows it to be used again once discarded. Combinations such as Warp Point and Seeker, which effectively allows the player to return a damaged Gyarados to their hand, along with Pokémon Rescue and {{TCG|Rescue Energy}} make sure that the Gyarados player can almost always maintain an attacking Pokémon with several Magikarp in the discard pile, allowing for a continuous high damage output.

==Key Cards==
[[File:RescueEnergyTriumphant90.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG|Rescue Energy}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Gyarados|19}}''' - Gyarados is the deck's main attacker. Since many builds do not run {{e|Water}} energy, Gyarados attacks only with ''Tail Revenge''. ''Tail Revenge''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s damage output is completely dependent on how many {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Magikarp|65}} are in the player's discard pile. With three Magikarp discarded, ''Tail Revenge'' does 90 damage for no energy cost. With Gyarados's 130HP, which is far above average for a Stage 1 evolved Pokémon, along with {{TCG|Expert Belt}}, Gyarados can prove to be a strong, bulky attacker.
* '''{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Sableye|48}}''' - Sableye is Gyarados's ideal start. With ''Impersonate'', Sableye can use any {{TCG|Supporter card}} from the player's deck, allowing Gyarados to set up much faster. ''Impersonate'' is often used to grab {{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}, giving the player access to {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Regice|36}}, {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Magikarp|65}}, {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}, and a variety of other Basic Pokémon on their second turn.
* '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Regice|36}}''' - Regice's {{TCG|Poké-Power}}, ''Regi Move'', allows the Gyarados player to discard two cards from their hand to force the opponent to switch out their active Basic Pokémon. In addition to allowing easy discard of multiple {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Magikarp|65}}, ''Regi Move'' can disrupt decks based around {{TCG|Pokémon SP}}, as well as those using a {{TCG ID|Arceus|Spiritomb|32}} {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainer}} lock.
* '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}''' - Uxie is in the deck for simple drawpower. Its ''Set Up'' Poké-Power allows the player to draw until they have seven cards in their hand.
* '''{{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}''' - Pokémon Collector is used to search whatever Basic Pokémon the decks needs at a given time out of the deck. It can be used with Sableye's ''Impersonate,'' making it a fairly easy card to access. Early in the game, Pokémon Collector can search for one Regice and two Magikarp, allowing for their immediate discard with ''Regi Move''. It is a very versatile card that is absolutely crucial in modern Gyarados builds.
* '''{{TCG|Junk Arm}}''' - Although many may not consider Junk Arm a key card, as Gyarados thrived even before its release in the {{TCG|Triumphant}} expansion, it certainly helps the deck. Junk Arm allows the player to discard two Magikarp from their hand in order to retrieve a Trainer card from the discard pile. Since Junk Arm is a Trainer card it ''cannot'' be {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-103 Power Spray|'Power Sprayed'}} (unlike Regice's Poké-Power).
* '''{{TCG|Pokémon Rescue}}''', '''{{TCG|Rescue Energy}}''', and '''{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Combee|57}} ''' - Pokémon Rescue, Rescue Energy, and Combee all serve the same purpose. All three are used to easily recover Magikarp and Gyarados when they are knocked out. Since the deck does not rely on energy cards to attack, a knocked out Gyarados with Rescue Energy attached can be returned to the hand and played down again immediately, if {{TCG|Broken Time-Space}} is in play, ready to attack. Combee is very useful if the player is Trainer-locked with {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Vileplume|24}} or Spiritomb. Since Combee's ''Honey'' effect is ''not'' a Poké-Power, a Power Spray ''cannot'' be used against it.

==Possible Tech Cards==
[[File:DialgaGLVXPlatinum122.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Platinum|Dialga G LV.X|122}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Platinum|Dialga G LV.X|122}}''' - Dialga G LV.X is a fairly common tech in Gyarados. When on the Bench, it nullifies all {{TCG|Poké-Body|Poké-Bodies}} in play. Since Gyarados does not rely on Poké-Bodies, Dialga G LV.X can be a powerful deck against metagame decks that do, such as {{TCG|VileGar}}.
* '''{{TCG|Poké Blower +}}''' - Poké Blower + is used in some Gyarados decks as a means to knock out the opponent's support Pokémon by forcing them up from the Bench and attacking them with {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Gyarados|19}}. {{TCG|Pokémon Reversal}} is used in some builds as a more luck-based method of doing this. Some players may wish to use {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Luxray GL LV.X|109}}; its ''Bright Look'' Poké-Power has the same effect as playing 2 Poké Blower +.
* '''{{TCG|Poké Healer +}}''' - Since Gyarados reaches a massive 150 HP with {{TCG|Expert Belt}} attached, it can generally take multiple hits . Play two Poké Healer + at the same time heals eight damage counters off Gyarados, allowing it to tank even longer against the opponent.
* '''{{TCG|Majestic Dawn|Chatot|55}}''' - Although it is not a common tech, some builds run Chatot for hand refreshment and as a free retreater that can be brought up and immediately retreated for no cost in the event of a knocked out Gyarados.
* '''{{TCG|Water Energy}}''' - Water Energy was a much more common tech when decks such as {{TCG|CurseGar}} ran {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Mr. Mime|30}} as a means of stalling low energy decks such as Gyarados. After Mr. Mime's rotation, the need to run Water Energy lessened, as most players believe there is no reason to attack with anything other than ''Tail Revenge''.
* '''{{TCG|Call Energy}}''' - Call Energy is occasionally used in Gyarados as a simple alternative to {{TCG|Pokémon Collector}} for getting Basic Pokémon into play early in the game.
* '''[[Darkness Energy (Special)|Special Darkness Energy]]''' - For decks wishing to have a chance at donking the opponent with Sableye, Darkness Energy provides the {{e|Darkness}} cost of its ''Overconfident'' attack.

Elemental monkeys

2019-09-20T18:00:02Z

Lordfridge: made pronouns neutral

{{unknown name}}
'''Elemental monkeys''' is a fan term that specifically refers to {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, {{p|Panpour}}, and their respective evolutions—{{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Simisear}}, and {{p|Simipour}}. The name is derived from the fact that all of the Pokémon are based on monkeys with a different type ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}} respectively) and all of them share similar [[move]]s, appearance and identical [[base stats]]. They also evolve with the corresponding [[evolutionary stone]]s.

The elemental monkeys share a resemblance to [[starter Pokémon]], as they are a trio that consists of Grass-, Fire-, and Water-type Pokémon. Similarly to starter Pokémon, they are able to possess the {{a|Overgrow}}, {{a|Blaze}}, and {{a|Torrent}} [[Ability|Abilities]], but as their Hidden Ability instead. Starting in [[Generation VII]], they are capable of learning their respective type of [[Move variations|Pledge moves]], the [[Move Tutor|tutorial moves]] exclusively learned by starter Pokémon. The elemental monkeys also have the same [[gender ratio]] as the starter Pokémon, being 7 males to 1 female.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, a Trainer in the [[Dreamyard]] will give the player the monkey with the type disadvantage against the player's [[starter Pokémon]].

Parts of their names are identical to each other. Their basic stages have the same prefix ''Pan-'', equivalent with the Japanese suffix ップ (''-ppu''), while their final stages have the prefix ''Simi-'', the same true with the Japanese suffix ッキー (''-kkī'').

This term should not be confused with other Pokémon based on monkeys, such as {{p|Mankey}}, {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, or {{p|Grookey}}.

==Pansage and Simisage==
{| align="right"
| {{Compare|name=Pansage|type=Grass|ndex=511|ab=Gluttony|abd=Overgrow|HP=50|Attack=53|Defense=48|SpAtk=53|SpDef=48|Speed=64}}
| {{Compare|name=Simisage|type=Grass|ndex=512|how={{color2|000|Leaf Stone}} |ab=Gluttony|abd=Overgrow|HP=75|Attack=98|Defense=63|SpAtk=98|SpDef=63|Speed=101}}
|}
{{Main|Pansage (Pokémon)}}
{{Main|Simisage (Pokémon)}}

Pansage is the first of the elemental monkeys in [[National Pokédex]] order and the {{type|Grass}} of the group. It evolves into Simisage when exposed to the [[Leaf Stone]]. Pansage made its first appearance alongside {{p|Axew}} on toys dating back to July 2010, making it the first of the monkeys ever seen by fans.

Pansage is a green colored monkey with a tan colored face, arms, and upper body. It has a tree-like sprout forming on its head and a pair of leaves on its tail. Simisage is a primate-like Pokémon that is primarily green in coloration. It has a pointed, bush-like crest similar to a Pompadour on its head and broad ears to the sides of it. It has a little fluff on its shoulders and a thorny tail.

Pansage's leaves are known to cure exhaustion, and Simisage attacks with its thorny tail if angered. Pansage is likely based on "Speak no Evil" from the {{wp|three wise monkeys}} motif.

As Grass types, Pansage and Simisage are capable of learning various Grass-type moves such as {{m|Seed Bomb}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, and even {{m|Grass Knot}}, and are capable of having {{a|Overgrow}} as their Hidden Ability. Starting in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Pansage and Simisage are able to learn {{m|Grass Pledge}} via [[Move Tutor]].

Pansage can be obtained in {{game|Black and White|s}} as a [[gift Pokémon]] at the [[Dreamyard]] if the {{player}} chose {{p|Tepig}} as their starter. In both Pokémon Black and White and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, it can be found via Rustling Grass in [[Pinwheel Forest]] or [[Lostlorn Forest]]. In {{g|X and Y}}, Pansage can be found in [[Santalune Forest]]. Sometimes, an [[Oran Berry]] or [[Occa Berry]] can be found on wild Pansage.

If the player picked {{p|Oshawott}} as their starter, then the player will face against [[Cilan]] with a Pansage in the [[Striaton Gym]] in Pokémon Black and White.

==Pansear and Simisear==
{| align="right"
| {{Compare|name=Pansear|type=Fire|ndex=513|ab=Gluttony|abd=Blaze|HP=50|Attack=53|Defense=48|SpAtk=53|SpDef=48|Speed=64}}
| {{Compare|name=Simisear|type=Fire|ndex=514|how={{color2|000|Fire Stone}} |ab=Gluttony|abd=Blaze|HP=75|Attack=98|Defense=63|SpAtk=98|SpDef=63|Speed=101}}
|}
{{Main|Pansear (Pokémon)}}
{{Main|Simisear (Pokémon)}}

Pansear is the second of the elemental monkeys in [[National Pokédex]] order and the {{type|Fire}} of the group. It evolves into Simisear when exposed to the [[Fire Stone]].

Pansear is a red monkey Pokémon with tan coloring on its face and upper body. It has a flame shaped hair on its head and an arrow shaped-feature on its tail. Simisear is a primate-like Pokémon that is primarily red in coloration. It has a swirled, flame-like crest on its head and broad ears to the sides of it. It has fluffs of white hair on its shoulders and a tail resembling a plume of fire.

When angered, Pansear's fire tuft will burn, and Simisear burns opponents by scattering the fire inside its body from its head and tail. Pansear is likely based on "Hear no Evil" from the three wise monkeys motif.

As Fire types, Pansear and Simisear are capable of learning various Fire-type moves such as {{m|Flame Burst}}, {{m|Flamethrower}}, and {{m|Fire Blast}} and are capable of having {{a|Blaze}} as their Hidden Ability. Starting in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Pansear and Simisear are able to learn {{m|Fire Pledge}} via [[Move Tutor]].

Pansear can be obtained in {{game|Black and White|s}} as a [[gift Pokémon]] at the [[Dreamyard]] if the {{player}} chose {{p|Oshawott}} as their starter. In both Pokémon Black and White and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, it can be found via Rustling Grass in [[Pinwheel Forest]] or [[Lostlorn Forest]]. In {{g|X and Y}}, Pansear can be found in [[Santalune Forest]]. Sometimes, an [[Oran Berry]] or [[Passho Berry]] can be found on wild Pansear.

If the player picked {{p|Snivy}} as their starter, then the player will face against [[Chili]] with a Pansear in the [[Striaton Gym]] in Pokémon Black and White.

==Panpour and Simipour==
{| align="right"
| {{Compare|name=Panpour|type=Water|ndex=515|ab=Gluttony|abd=Torrent|HP=50|Attack=53|Defense=48|SpAtk=53|SpDef=48|Speed=64}}

|}
{{Main|Panpour (Pokémon)}}
{{Main|Simipour (Pokémon)}}

Panpour is the last of the elemental monkeys in [[National Pokédex]] order and the {{t|Water}}-type of the group. It evolves into Simipour when exposed to the [[Water Stone]].

Panpour is a blue monkey Pokémon with tan coloring on its face and lower body. Its hair on its head is shaped like a fountain or {{wp|mushroom cloud}} and its tail has a {{wp|Suit (cards)|club}}-like shape at the end. Simipour is a primate-like Pokémon that is primarily blue in coloration. It has crests on its head similar to dreadlocks and broad ears to the sides of it. Simipour also have a cream-colored face, chest, hands, arms, legs, and feet.

Panpour gathers water, stores it into its hair, and then dampens its body using its tail. The water stored in the tuft on its head is full of nutrition; plants watered with it will grow well. Simipour can use the stored water in its tail ether as backup when water supply is low or use it as a powerful weapon strong enough to destroy concrete. Panpour is likely based on "See no Evil" from the three wise monkeys motif.

As Water types, Panpour and Simipour are capable of learning various Water-type moves such as {{m|Scald}} and {{m|Surf}} plus some {{type|Ice}} moves like {{m|Ice Beam}}. They are capable of having {{a|Torrent}} as their Hidden Ability. Starting in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Panpour and Simipour are able to learn {{m|Water Pledge}} via [[Move Tutor]].

Panpour can be obtained in {{game|Black and White|s}} as a [[gift Pokémon]] at the [[Dreamyard]] if the {{player}} chose {{p|Snivy}} as their starter. In both Pokémon Black and White and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, it can be found via Rustling Grass in [[Pinwheel Forest]] or [[Lostlorn Forest]]. In {{g|X and Y}}, Panpour can be found in [[Santalune Forest]]. Sometimes, an [[Oran Berry]] or [[Rindo Berry]] can be found on wild Panpour.

If the player picked {{p|Tepig}} as their starter, then the player will face against [[Cress]] with a Panpour in the [[Striaton Gym]] in Pokémon Black and White.

[[File:Elemental Monkeys anime.png|200px|thumb|left|Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour made their debut in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' under the ownership of Gym Leaders {{an|Cilan}}, [[Chili]], and [[Cress]] respectively.

Simisear made its debut in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'', where it was knocked out of a tree by a group of {{p|Watchog}} and took its anger out on {{TP|Iris|Emolga}}, {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and {{AP|Oshawott}} before the former and {{AP|Snivy}} saved it from a falling boulder.

Simisage, Simisear, and Simipour appeared in the [[Clubsplosion]] arc under the ownership of [[Angus]], [[Getty]] and [[Betty]] respectively.

===Cilan's Pansage===

{{main|Cilan's Pansage}}

Cilan's Pansage was the last of the Pokémon of the leader trio faced by Ash at the Gym, with Ash choosing to use {{AP|Oshawott}}. Pansage was a formidable opponent, overwhelming and intimidating Oshawott with powerful {{m|Bullet Seed}} and {{m|Bite}} attacks and with skillful agility that dodged Oshawott's attacks. As a finisher, Pansage used {{m|SolarBeam}} on Oshawott, but Oshawott deflected it with his scalchop and the battle continued. The battle ended when Oshawott won against Pansage after defeating it with {{m|Razor Shell}}.

After the battle, Cilan remarks on Ash's skills and decides to travel with him and {{an|Iris}}. Since then, Cilan often uses Pansage for assisting himself and {{ashfr}}.
[[File:Chili Pansear.png|thumb|200px|Chili's Pansear]]

===Chili's Pansear===
{{main|Chili's Pansear}}

{{p|Pansear}} is Chili's only known Pokémon. It first appeared in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' when it battled against [[Ash's Tepig]]. Pansear managed to put up a good fight against Tepig with its powerful {{m|Dig}} attack, along with {{m|Fire Punch}} that sent Tepig flying. However, Tepig dove into the tunnels after Pansear and bit down on its tail which caused Pansear extreme pain. Tepig then spun Pansear around by its tail and threw it across the field, then followed up with {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Tackle}}d it into the wall, knocking Pansear out.

Pansear reappeared in ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love!]]'' along with its Trainer where it battled [[Cilan's Pansage]]. Despite having a type advantage, it lost against Pansage.

===Cress's Panpour===
{{main|Cress's Panpour}}
{{p|Panpour}} is [[Cress]]'s only known Pokémon. It first appeared in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' when it battled against [[Ash's Pikachu]]. It was shown to be an extremely powerful Pokémon, able to defeat Pikachu without suffering any damage despite having the type disadvantage. Panpour's {{m|Double Team}} confused Pikachu, after which Panpour landed a powerful {{m|Scratch}}. Pikachu tried to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Panpour's {{m|Water Gun}} hit Pikachu before he could execute his move. Pikachu then tried a {{m|Volt Tackle}}, but Panpour's {{m|Mud Sport}} stopped Pikachu in his tracks, after which another Water Gun knocked him out.

==In the manga==
[[File:Elemental Monkeys Adventures.png|200px|thumb|left|Pansear, Panpour, and Pansage along with their Trainers in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pocket Monsters BW manga===
In {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}}, [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]] appear in [[PMBW02]], each using their signature elemental monkey. When [[Red's Clefairy]] tries to instigate a fight between the brothers, their monkeys attack in a group against Clefairy, but this backfires when Clefairy uses their combined powers to make {{wp|green tea}}.

===In the Be the Best! Pokémon B+W manga===
[[Monta]] has a Panpour and [[Cheren]] has a Pansage. They used them during a [[Triple Battle]] in ''[[PBW2|The Key to Triple Battles]]''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Cilan's Pansage}}
{{main|Chili's Pansear}}
{{main|Cress's Panpour}}
[[Chili]], [[Cress]], and [[Cilan]] battle {{adv|Bianca}}, {{adv|Cheren}}, and {{adv|Black}}, each of them using their signature elemental monkey in a Triple Battle. Much later, during a battle with the [[Shadow Triad]], the brothers evolve their Pokémon using the respective [[evolutionary stone]]s.

==In the TCG==
{{TCG|Pansage}}, {{TCG|Pansear}}, and {{TCG|Panpour}} along with their respective evolutions are recurring Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}.

==Trivia==
* The stats of all three elemental monkeys are identical, as are the stats of their evolved forms.
** Their cries are also the same: the difference is the effects applied to them. The same is true to their evolved forms.
* The [[Berry|Berries]] that may be held by the elemental monkeys in the wild ([[Occa Berry]], [[Passho Berry]], and [[Rindo Berry]]) are related to the primary weakness of main starter Pokémon.

Restored Pokémon (TCG)

2019-09-20T17:58:03Z

Lordfridge: made pronouns neutral

A '''Restored Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|復元|ふくげん}}ポケモン''' ''Restored Pokémon'') is a form of {{TCG|Pokémon}} that is revived to life from a {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Fossil card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. In the [[Pokémon world]], [[Fossil]]s are prehistoric Pokémon revived using techniques developed by the [[Devon Corporation]] and a research laboratory on [[Cinnabar Island]].

Only eleven Pokémon are currently classified as Restored Pokémon: {{TCG|Aerodactyl}}, {{TCG|Amaura}}, {{TCG|Anorith}}, {{TCG|Archen}}, {{TCG|Cranidos}}, {{TCG|Kabuto}}, {{TCG|Lileep}}, {{TCG|Omanyte}}, {{TCG|Shieldon}}, {{TCG|Tirtouga}}, and {{TCG|Tyrunt}}.

==Restored Pokémon Game Mechanic==
In order to play a Restored Pokémon, the player must first play the respective {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Fossil card}} (a {{TCG|Trainer card}}), search the bottom seven cards of their [[Deck]] for the corresponding Pokémon, and then place it onto their {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Bench}}. This type of Trainer card was reintroduced with the above mechanic in the {{TCG|Noble Victories}} expansion.

* Many Restored Pokémon feature the Prehistoric Call {{TCG|Pokémon Power|Ability}} (like the Plasma Blast versions of {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Archen|53}}, {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Lileep|3}}, and {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Tirtouga|27}}), which moves them from the discard pile to the bottom of the player’s deck.
* Combine that with the Supporter card {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Caitlin|78}} ({{TCG|Plasma Blast}}) to put any number of cards from the player’s hand to the bottom of their deck in any order. Then retrieve it with a {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Fossil card}}.

==Original Game Mechanic==
Introduced first in the {{TCG|Fossil}} expansion, there was the {{TCG|Item}} card {{TCG|Mysterious Fossil}} which could be put into play as if it were a Basic Pokémon with 10 HP that had no attacks or {{TCG|Pokémon Power}}, could not Retreat or be affected by {{TCG|Special Conditions}}, could be discarded at any time during your turn before your attack, and your opponent did not take a Prize when it was Knocked Out. {{TCG|Aerodactyl}}, {{TCG|Kabuto}}, and {{TCG|Omanyte}} cards released during this time until the mechanic was altered were Stage 1 Pokémon which could Evolve from Mysterious Fossil. As Mysterious Fossil did not count as a Pokémon while in your hand, it could not be your opening Pokémon.

Other ways of putting those cards into play were introduced as well in subsequent expansions, and Mysterious Fossil received multiple errata tweaking its effect, including periods where it could optionally count as a Pokémon while in hand (allowing you to open with it) and where it had to be treated as such. One alternative to Mysterious Fossil was not a shortcut (like {{TCG|Fossil Egg}} but a replacement known as {{TCG|Buried Fossil}}, which actually was a Basic, Colorless Pokémon and behaved as such, and could Evolve into your choice of the same three Pokémon as Mysterious Fossil.

When the [[Generation_III|third generation]] of Pokémon video games were introduced, so were more cards using this original mechanic, except both of these newer Pokémon - {{TCG|Anorith}} and {{TCG|Lileep}} - had their own specific Fossil card - {{TCG|Claw Fossil}} and {{TCG|Root Fossil}}, respectively. Mysterious Fossil was reissued with updated text alongside these cards, and this trend continued until this mechanic was replaced with the current one that featured Restored Pokémon.

Despite the existence of Restored Pokémon, the Sun & Moon Series reverted how Fossil Pokémon worked to the original mechanic, introducing the [[Unidentified Fossil (Ultra Prism 134)|Unidentified Fossil]] card for Fossil Pokémon to evolve from.

Battle Factory (Generation III)

2019-09-20T17:57:14Z

}}

The '''Battle Factory''' (Japanese: '''バトルファクトリー''' ''Battle Factory'') is a [[Battle facility|facility]] located within the [[Hoenn]] {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in {{game|Emerald}}.

==Challenges==
The Battle Factory is more dedicated to research than the other facilities, and the subject of the scientists' research is the abilities of Trainers when using [[rental Pokémon]] in battle. Before the player begins a battle, they will be told some information about the opponent's team, and may switch one of the Pokémon they have with them with one of the Pokémon used by the Trainer they just defeated. This is just like the [[Battle Tent]] in [[Slateport City]]. The pool of possible rental Pokémon is the same as that of possible Pokémon NPC Trainers use in other facilities in the Battle Frontier.

In addition to win streaks, the monitors inside the lobby display the number of times the players swapped his/her Pokémon during the challenge.

===Battle style===
A Trainer's battle style is based on the moves that their Pokémon know. Certain moves fall under one of seven different categories, as shown below:
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{frontier color light}}; border: 3px solid #{{frontier color}}"
|- style="text-align:center"
! style="{{roundytl|5px}}" | Category

| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | {{m|Hail}}, {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, {{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Weather Ball}}
|}

Depending on how many moves in each category the Trainer's Pokémon know, their battle style will be described differently. A move may be counted more than once if more than one Pokémon has it, and any attack not in any of the categories is not considered.

Each category has a threshold number. For the first three categories, this is three, while for the last four categories, it is two. If the Trainer's Pokémon know enough moves to cross the threshold in exactly one or two categories, then their battle style is described by whichever of those categories is farthest down on the table below. If they do not cross the threshold in any category, though, or if they cross it in more than three categories, then the Trainer's battle style is given a special description.

{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{frontier color light}}; border: 3px solid #{{frontier color}}"
|- style="text-align:center"
! style="{{roundytl|5px}}" | Category
! style="{{roundytr|5px}}" | Battle Style
|- style="background:#FFF"
| style="text-align:center" | (None)
| "appears to be free-spirited and unrestrained"
|- style="background:#FFF"
| style="text-align:center" | 1
| "appears to be one based on total preparation"
|- style="background:#FFF"
| style="text-align:center" | 2
| "appears to be slow and steady"
|- style="background:#FFF"
| style="text-align:center" | 3
| "appears to be one of endurance"
|- style="background:#FFF"
| style="text-align:center" | 4
| "appears to be high risk, high return"
|- style="background:#FFF"
| style="text-align:center" | 5
| "appears to be weakening the foe to start"
|- style="background:#FFF"
| style="text-align:center" | 6
| "appears to be impossible to predict"
|- style="background:#FFF"
| style="text-align:center" | 7
| "appears to depend on the battle's flow"
|-
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybl|5px}} text-align:center" | (3 or more categories)
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | "appears to be flexibly adaptable to the situation"
|}

====Stat calculation====
The Pokémon that are offered to the player at the beginning of the round are generated with uniform IVs in each stat. The IVs that the Pokémon get are based on the length of the player's win streak:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #505050; border: 2px solid #6f6f6f"
|- style="color: #fff"
! style="background: #6f6f6f; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Current Round
! style="background: #6f6f6f; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Fixed IV
|- style="background: #fff"
| {{color|000|1}}
| 3
|- style="background: #fff"
| {{color|000|2}}
| 6
|- style="background: #fff"
| {{color|000|3}}
| 9
|- style="background: #fff"
| {{color|000|4}}
| 12
|- style="background: #fff"
| {{color|000|5}}
| 15
|- style="background: #fff"
| {{color|000|6}}
| 21
|-
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | {{color|000|7 or later}}
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 31
|}

However, depending on the number of rentals (including swaps) the player has performed, some number of the generated Pokémon may have fixed IVs corresponding to the following round. The number of rentals required is shown below:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #505050; border: 2px solid #6f6f6f"
|- style="color: #fff"
! style="background: #6f6f6f; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Rent/Swaps
! style="background: #6f6f6f; {{roundytr|5px}}" | # of stronger Pokémon offered
|- style="background: #fff"
| {{color|000|Less than 15}}
| 0
|- style="background: #fff"
| {{color|000|15 to 21}}
| 1
|- style="background: #fff"
| {{color|000|22 to 28}}
| 2
|- style="background: #fff"
| {{color|000|29 to 35}}
| 3
|- style="background: #fff"
| {{color|000|36 to 42}}
| 4
|-
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | {{color|000|43 or greater}}
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 5
|}

The Pokémon used by Trainers in the Battle Factory are also generated with fixed IVs in each stat. The first six Trainers in each round have Pokémon with uniform IVs corresponding to the current round (using the lookup table above), while the last Trainer's Pokémon have IVs corresponding to the following round. However, due to a bug, the "current round" used for the Trainers' Pokémon is the player's current win streak in the Battle Tower, not the Battle Factory. This means, for instance, that if the player currently has a 10-round win streak in the Battle Tower, and starts round 1 of the Battle Factory, the player's Pokémon will have IVs of 3, while the opponent Pokémon will all have IVs of 31.

The only exception to this IV calculation is Factory Head Noland. His Pokémon always have IVs corresponding to two rounds after the current win streak in the Battle Factory (not the Tower). This means that during the Silver Symbol fight, his Pokémon will have IVs of 15, and during the Gold Symbol fight, they will have IVs of 31.

===Battle Points===
{{incomplete|section}}

===Factory Head===
At the 21st and 42nd battle in a streak, three and six runs through the Battle Factory, [[Factory Head Noland]] will challenge the player to a battle. Like all other Trainers in the facility, including the player, his Pokémon are completely random, and so cannot be known until he is encountered. If he is defeated, he awards the Knowledge Symbol.

Noland's team consists of three Pokémon from the following lists:
:''[[Battle Frontier (Generation III)/Pokémon (Group 3, 001-151)|List of Battle Frontier Pokémon (Generation III)/Group 3 (001-151)]]''
:''[[Battle Frontier (Generation III)/Pokémon (Group 3, 152-386)|List of Battle Frontier Pokémon (Generation III)/Group 3 (152-386)]]''

==In the anime==
[[File:Battle Factory anime.png|thumb|250px|The Battle Factory in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The Battle Factory appeared in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]''. In the anime, it is located near [[Cerulean City]] and was the first {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} facility challenged by {{Ash}}. {{ashfr|The group}} discovered its location in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''. It is run by [[Factory Head Noland]] and the battles are [[Battle judge|refereed]] by [[Sergio]].

In the Battle Factory, Noland allows his challengers to choose which one of his Pokémon they want to face in a one-on-one battle. The battlefield's rooftop can be opened to allow {{type|Flying}} Pokémon take full advantage of their abilities.

Ash had trouble choosing which Pokémon he wanted to face, but when he learned that Noland had befriended a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}, he decided to choose it as his opponent, recalling his {{AP|Charizard}} from [[Charicific Valley]] for the match. Despite Charizard having the type advantage, it still had a tough time against the powers of a [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Eventually, however, Charizard was able to emerge victorious with its signature finisher move, {{m|Seismic Toss}}, earning Ash the [[Symbol|Knowledge Symbol]], his first Frontier Symbol.

===Pokémon used in the Battle Factory===
The following is a list of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} used in the Battle Factory:
{{TrainerPoké
|main=yes
|trainer=Noland

|type1=Ice

After meeting up with Noland, he explains that he'd been cruising with Articuno the previous night. Max was impressed on how Noland caught such a powerful Pokémon, but Noland further explains that Articuno is {{pkmn2|wild}}, and a friend of his.

Noland revealed that on his biplane's maiden voyage, Noland was surprised to find an Articuno flying beside him and it had trouble flying due to an injured wing. The Factory Head got the Pokémon to land on top of his plane and brought it down. Noland helped it to heal, and ever since then Articuno had been regularly visiting him.}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Battle Factory AP.png|thumb|left|150px|The Battle Factory in Ash & Pikachu]]
===In the Ash & Pikachu manga===
The Battle Factory appeared in ''[[SP33|Off To The Battle Frontier!!]]'', where Ash, like in the anime, took on and defeated Noland.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Battle Factory III Adventures.png|thumb|250px|The Battle Factory in Pokémon Adventures]]
The Battle Factory first appeared in ''[[PS305|Interesting Interactions Involving Illumise]]'', where {{adv|Emerald}} challenged it as his first Battle Frontier challenge during the Battle Frontier's seven-day opening ceremony. Due to each of his battles taking at least 15 minutes, it took him about 15 hours to win the 41 battles required to reach Noland.

The battle between Emerald and Noland commenced in ''[[PS306|Pinsir Me, I Must Be Dreaming]]'', eventually coming down to a clash between [[Emerald's Sceptile]] and Noland's {{p|Glalie}}. Noland intended to first force Sceptile into using {{m|Detect}} repeatedly and then finish it off with the [[one-hit knockout move]] {{m|Sheer Cold}}. Although his plan seemed to work, Sceptile was inexplicably able to survive a direct hit from Sheer Cold, allowing it to defeat Glalie with a combination of {{m|Leech Seed}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, earning Emerald the [[Symbol|Knowledge Symbol]].

Emerald [[PS308|later]] revealed that Sceptile was on a higher [[level]] than the other rental Pokémon, explaining how it had managed to survive being hit by Sheer Cold. It has also made him realize that Sceptile wasn't a rental Pokémon to begin with, but had been snuck into the facility someone, prompting him to take it with him.

In ''[[PS310|Just My Luck...Shuckle]]'', Noland was attacked by [[Guile Hideout]], who stole every single rental Pokémon from the Battle Factory to be used against those in his way while searching for the {{pkmn2|Mythical}} [[Pokémon category|Wish Pokémon]], {{adv|Jirachi}}.

{{search|game mechanic in Pokémon Conquest|the game known as Pokémon Link! in European releases|Pokémon Trozei!}} ''For the data transferal feature in the [[Generation VI]] games, see [[Pokémon Link]].''
A '''link''' (Japanese: '''リンク''' ''link'') refers to the emotional bond between a [[Warrior]] and a Pokémon, featured in [[Pokémon Conquest]]. Affecting the strength of a Pokémon, and being measured in percentages with an upper limit of 100%, it is an analogue to the main series concept of [[level]]s.

The strength of a link, i.e. its percentage value, can be increased by fighting battles or visiting [[kingdom location]]s.

==Perfect Link==
Depending on how well-matched a pair of [[Warrior]] and Pokémon is, the maximum value of the link between the two varies. A '''Perfect Link''' (Japanese: '''ベストリンク''' ''Best Link'') is a maximum link value of 100%. Each Warrior has specific Pokémon (sometimes more than one, generally in the same evolutionary family) with which they share a Perfect Link. When a Pokémon is paired with a [[Warlord]] with whom it shares a Perfect Link, it will have several sprites showing different emotions, as opposed to a single, universal sprite.

==Forming links==
[[File:Linking pokemon conquest.png|thumb|[[Oichi]] successfully linking with {{p|Petilil}}]]
A Warrior can form new links with wild Pokémon. A gold symbol above the wild Pokémon signifies a maximum link percentage of 90% or higher, while a silver symbol signifies a maximum link percentage from 70% to below 90%, and a bronze symbol signifies a maximum link percentage from 50% to below 70%. A wild Pokémon with no symbol indicates a maximum link percentage below 50%, while an x symbol indicates the Warrior cannot link with that Pokémon.

The number of Pokémon with which a Warrior can share links at any time is dictated by their {{DL|Warrior|Stats|Capacity}} stat. Regardless of the number of Pokémon with which a Warrior has linked, only one can be used per battle.

==Move rank==
The '''move rank''' of a Pokémon's single move will strengthen as the link increases, signified by +1 (20% link), +2 (40% link), +3 (60% link), +4 (80% link), or +S (100% link), being added to the move's name. Once reaching move rank +S, some moves take on completely new effects; e.g. {{m|Leaf Storm}} or {{m|Outrage}}.

==Evolution and transformation==
Because [[level]]s, [[experience]], and [[friendship]] do not exist in [[Pokémon Conquest]], [[evolution]] of Pokémon that depend on these is determined—directly in some cases and indirectly in others—by the link they share with their [[Warrior]]. Pokémon that normally evolve via high [[friendship]] in the main series games, such as {{p|Golbat}}, instead evolve after reaching a certain link percentage, usually between 60 and 70 percent. Pokémon that normally evolve at a set level instead evolve when a certain [[statistic]] reaches a specific value. For example, {{p|Spheal}} evolves when its HP has reached a value of 138, which is partially determined by the link with its Warrior.

A [[Warlord]] transforming to another rank is also determined by the link they share with their Perfect Link Pokémon, with the only exceptions being the [[Hero]]/[[Heroine]]'s transformation to Rank II, which happens automatically in {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest stories|The Legend of Ransei}}. In some cases, the transformation can only happen in a specific [[List of Pokémon Conquest stories|story]], such as [[Masamune]] only being able to transform in his own episode, {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest stories|The Dragon's Dream}}, with a 60% link with either {{p|Rufflet}} or {{p|Braviary}}.

Mother

2019-09-20T17:55:00Z

Lordfridge: made pronouns neutral

The {{player}}'s '''mother''' (Japanese: '''お{{tt|母|かあ}}さん''' ''mother'') is a prominent character in the various [[canon]]s of the [[Pokémon]] franchise.

==In the core series games==
The player's mother, often referred to informally as '''mom''' (Japanese: '''ママ''' ''mom''), is a character in every [[core series]] {{pkmn|games|Pokémon game}}. Although different each time, she will always be the one to see her child off on their journey with their [[starter Pokémon]].

When players speaks to their mother, she will heal the [[party]], except in Johto, where the player must instead use the healing machine in [[Professor Elm]]'s lab. The player's mother may also do several other things specific to the game. When the player is setting off on their journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], the player's mother will typically give him/her the [[Running Shoes]] as a gift, either in person or via a messenger, reading the provided instructions as well.

==In side series games==
===[[Orre]]===
{{main|Lily (XD)}}
In {{Pokémon XD}}, {{OBP|Lily|XD}} is the mother of [[Michael]] (the player character) and [[Jovi]]. She takes a supportive role throughout the game by working alongside [[Professor Krane]].

===[[Almia]]===
In Almia, the mother of [[Kellyn]] or {{ra|Kate}} exchanges letters with their family as they attend [[Ranger School]]. The family later moves to [[Chicole Village]] to be closer to Kellyn or Kate. She also bought the books on the bookshelf. The mother doesn't do much besides look after her youngest child and take care of the player's inactive {{ra|partner Pokémon}}. She later has the player perform a [[Ranger Quest|Quest]] where she asks the player to read a recipe off the fridge for her while she cooks.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Delia.png|thumb|250px|Delia Ketchum, mother of Ash Ketchum]]
In the [[Pokémon anime]], each of the main characters which have a player character [[cross-canon counterpart|counterpart]] have had their mother introduced except for {{Jo|Jimmy}} and {{Jo|Marina}}. Unlike the mothers in the games, however, all of them lead a moderately more active lifestyle.

{{Delia}}, {{Ash}}'s mother, is introduced in the very first episode and is shown to travel to some of the [[Pokémon League]] competitions that her son takes part in. She also has her own Pokémon, a {{p|Mr. Mime}} nicknamed [[Mimey]], which cleans the house for her.

[[Lola]], {{an|Brock}}'s mother, was, for a time, running the [[Pewter Gym]] while Brock was traveling with Ash on his journey. She is an adept Trainer, however her insistence on using {{type|Water}} Pokémon—including attempting to shift [[Pewter City]]'s [[Gym]]'s traditional type from {{t|Rock}} to {{t|Water}}—is something she and Brock have butted heads over.

[[Caroline]], the mother of {{an|May}} and [[Max]], is a big supporter of May in her quest to become a [[Top Coordinator]], even traveling long distancies to watch her daughter compete in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. Unlike her game counterpart, however, she lives in [[Petalburg City]].

[[Johanna]], {{an|Dawn}}'s mother, apparently lives life very similarly to her own game counterpart. She has a {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} and an {{p|Umbreon}}, and is a former winner of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. Dawn grew up inspired by her achievements and decided to become a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} like her mother.

{{kal|Grace}}, {{an|Serena}}'s mother, also lives life similarly to her own game counterpart. She has a pet {{p|Fletchling}} and {{p|Rhyhorn}}, and was once a {{p|Rhyhorn}} racer.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Red Mom PO.png|thumb|250px|Red's mother]]

In [[Pokémon Origins]], Red's mother appeared in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', telling him that [[Pokédex|the device]] [[Professor Oak]] was working on was now ready and that the {{pkmn|Professor}} wanted to see him in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his lab]], which caused {{OBP|Red|Origins}} to fall down the stairs in excitement. She asked if he was okay before he rushed out the door.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{Ash}}'s mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], makes an appearance in the chapter ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You!]]''.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
[[Hazel]]'s mother and father are mentioned, but are never shown.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Gold}}'s mother makes an appearance in the beginning of the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}. She often nags him about his messy hairstyle, calling it "explosive". She is based on the mother from [[Generation II]].

{{adv|Crystal}}'s mother is [[Mirei]].

{{adv|Ruby}}'s mother appears in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} where she can be seen worrying about her son and her [[Norman|husband]]. She is based on the mother from Pokémon {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.

{{adv|Green}}'s parents appear in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} where they are kidnapped by a {{adv|Deoxys}}; they are eventually rescued.

{{adv|Emerald}}'s mother and father have been stated to be deceased, making him an orphan.

{{adv|Diamond}}'s mother is [[Johanna]], a former {{pkmn|Coordinator}}. She is the one to give him his winter clothing.

{{adv|Platinum}}'s mother is [[Professor Yanase Berlitz]], a Pokémon researcher.

{{adv|Whitley}}'s mother is a former member of [[Team Plasma]]. She was seen accompanying her to her first day at [[Aspertia City]]'s [[Aspertia Gym|Trainers' School]]. She decided to switch Whitley's school in order to cut off all connections with her past as a [[Team Plasma]] member. She is based on the mother from {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}.

{{adv|Y}}'s mother is {{kal|Grace}}, a famous and very successful {{p|Rhyhorn}} racer. Her relationship with her daughter is not very good, since Y wishes to become a {{tc|Sky Trainer}} against her mother's wishes. Grace also voluntarily takes care of {{adv|X}}, since his parents are in a faraway region due to their work.

==Trivia==
* [[Generation V]] is the only [[generation]] that introduced two different mother characters for each set of players. However, {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}} are not the first games in which two mother characters are accessible since {{ga|Red}}'s mother can be visited in [[Pallet Town]] in the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* Although {{ga|Red}}'s mother has blue hair in the [[core series]] games, {{OBP|Red|Origins|his}} mother has brown hair in [[Pokémon Origins]].
* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, there's leftover code that allows the {{player}} to name their mother. A control character displays the mother's name but it is never used. However, the memory address for the mother's name is written to with the player's name as a means of copying the player's name back after the [[Dude]]'s catching tutorial ends (as the player's name is temporarily replaced with '''<sc>Dude</sc>'''). This mechanic is similar to how watching the {{ka|old man}}'s demonstration in the [[Generation I]] games causes the player's name to be stored in the [[wild Pokémon]] encounter data until after it's finished.<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/naming-mother Naming Your Mother]</ref>

[[File:League Battle.jpg|thumb|right|The League Chart. Shown here, the player has a perfect score.]]
'''Magma Colosseum''' (Japanese: '''マグマコロシアム''' ''Magma Colosseum'') is a Colosseum in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. The battle theme is League Battles. The leader is Colosseum Leader [[Terrell]].

The battle area is set in what appears to be the inside of a volcano, the battle platform surrounded by magma.

Battles here are carried out in a round-robin tournament style, and is the only Colosseum the player can risk losing a battle in, all that matters is having the most points overall. For each victory, the player gets points for how many Pokémon they have remaining on their team. If they have the highest score at the end of the round-robin (5 matches), they will then face Terrell.
