==Blurb==

The competition is underway at the Mulberry Town Pokémon Contest, where Harley has teamed up with Team Rocket to plot May's downfall. While May is getting ready for her first opponent, Team Rocket lures her friends into a sealed transport container and sends them up, up and away with a Meowth balloon! But they didn't count on Drew being there to save the day. He frees Ash and the others, only for all them to then fall into one of Team Rocket's old-fashioned pit traps. While James and Meowth gloat, our heroes realize Team Rocket is working with Harley, and they have to get back to the Contest to help May.

Up on stage, May and her Squirtle are preparing to face Jessie, who's disguised as Jessebella and using Harley's Cacturne. Below the stage, Harley and Team Rocket are preparing some more tricks when our heroes catch up to them. Harley points out that there's no rule against using someone else's Pokémon in a Contest, but his plans are foiled for now.

Meanwhile, Jessie's initial delight wears off when even Banette can't easily win her the match. Banette gets annoyed by Jessie's complaints, and it looks like the odds are back in May's favor. But as time runs out, the two Coordinators are matched in points, and it goes into overtime! Jessebella is eager to win, but she's snapping at Banette and without a good understanding between Coordinator and Pokémon, it's only a matter of time before May wins and the ribbon is hers. Harley gives up on Team Rocket in disgust. May meets Drew and the two are looking forward to a match-up at the Indigo Plateau. As for Ash, he's looking forward to the Battle Pyramid!

==Plot==
[[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]] unveils the [[Mulberry City]] [[Contest Battle]] match-ups, which include a round between {{an|May}} and [[Jessie|Jessibella]]. Backstage, Jessibella confronts May, almost revealing that [[Harley]] is helping her win. [[Drew]] walks down a corresponding corridor and happens to overhear May's conversation with her. {{Ash}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Brock}} wish May luck and exit the room as Drew leaves. The boys are approached by [[James]] and {{MTR}}, disguised as Contest attendants, who reveal Ash received a call from home. They lead Ash and the others into a room and lock them inside to stop them from interfering with Jessie's Contest-winning scheme. {{MTR}} presses a button on his remote, causing the walls to collapse and reveal a steel box with a balloon attached to the top. The balloon begins to inflate with air, lifting the boys high into the air. James radios in to Harley, declaring the ploy a success.

Jessie's round is already underway as {{p|Banette}} shocks the competition with a devastating {{m|Thunder}} to its opponent {{p|Noctowl}}. After a few moments, Noctowl is defeated and Jessie moves into the next round. Meanwhile, Ash orders {{AP|Pikachu}} use a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the attack only reflects off the surface, narrowly missing the boys. The metallic prison begins experience turbulence as an airborne {{p|Flygon}} directs the steel box to the ground with a {{m|Sandstorm}}. After a few moments, the box finally crashes onto the ground creating a giant plume of smoke and dust. The doors of the steel box begin to melt and finally collapse as Drew returns Flygon to its Poké Ball. Ash, Max, and Brock are stunned with the sight of Drew.

With a quick rotation of her hand, May releases {{TP|May|Squirtle}} with a flash of light. May's opponent doesn't hesitate to begin the battle with his {{p|Skarmory}} and its {{m|Steel Wing}} attack. As its wings glow a majestic color and begins its descent, Squirtle {{m|Withdraw}}s and begins {{m|Rapid Spin|rotating at a high speed}} clashing with Skarmory. Squirtle continues to attack with an {{m|Ice Beam}}, but Skarmory manages to evade the attack. Squirtle follows up with a {{m|Bubble}} attack as Skarmory attempts to counter with {{m|Swift}}. The countdown timer expires, and with the most points remaining, May advances to the next round.

As Drew leads Brock and the others to alert May to Team Rocket's grand scheme, they find themselves caught in a pitfall trap. James and Meowth promptly place a steel grid to keep the boys captive. As James and Meowth marvel over Harley's genius, Ash realizes that Harley is also part of the ploy. Brock calls upon his {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} and has it use Rapid Spin to free them.

Two lights illuminate the Mulberry Contest finale contestants, May and Jessie. James and Meowth make contact with Harley directly underneath the [[Contest Hall]]. At Harley's request, James calls out {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} and {{TP|James|Cacnea}} to dig underneath May's feet. However, Drew and the others catch up to them and confront them with their allegations. Harley confesses that he has been helping Jessibella, or rather Jessie out. He reveals that he allowed Jessie to borrow {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}} and Banette for the Contest, something that isn't against Contest rules. He stares Drew down for a moment before storming off with James and Meowth trailing behind.

The final round commences as May calls upon her Squirtle and Jessie releases Banette. Banette swiftly goes on the attack with a Thunder, landing a direct hit on Squirtle. A small portion of May's points are deducted while James, Meowth, and Harley examine the battle from overhead. Squirtle recovers from the attack and retaliates with an Ice Beam freezing Banette in place. After a few seconds, Banette breaks from the icy prison and responds with a {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} attack. While Squirtle retreats into its shell to avoid damage, the colliding Will-O-Wisps create a sparkling display that impresses the judges. Banette launches another Thunder, though Squirtle counterattacks with a Bubble to land a hit on its opponent. Banette goes on the attack striking Squirtle with {{m|Frustration}} as Squirtle withdraws into its shell to protect itself from further damage. After a few moments, Squirtle goes into a Rapid Spin attack, tossing Banette off its shell. Jessie demands a Will-O-Wisp attack, but Squirtle continues to use Rapid Spin and dodges it by bouncing around the stadium. Squirtle evades the follow up Thunder and {{m|Tackle}}s Banette to the ground. As the two sides order another attack, the timer runs out.

Lillian turns her attention to the points, and notices that both May and Jessie are tied. She calls for Sudden Death Overtime, where there is no time limit and a Coordinator must reduce their opponent's points to zero to win. Banette strikes forward with a Thunder as Squirtle attacks with an Ice Beam. Though both Pokémon evade the attacks, reducing each sides points. Jessie orders a Will-O-Wisp, though Squirtle withdraws its shell and retaliates with a Bubble attack. May uses a combination, freezing Banette solid in ice before knocking it to the ground with a Tackle. Lillian rules Jessibella out for the count and declares May the winner of the Mulberry Contest. [[Raoul Contesta]], Director of the {{pkmn|Activities Committee|Contest Committee}}, presents May with her fifth and final [[Ribbon]], which qualifies her to compete in the [[Kanto Grand Festival]].

Harley reprimands Jessie and her teammates for failing to damage May's chances, calling them "losers" before walking off. However, he admits to himself that it will be fun to defeat May at the Grand Festival. Later, May, with a document in hand, greets her friends and brother. Her attention soon turns to Drew, a surprising appearance. He is quick to leave, adding that he will see her at the Grand Festival at [[Indigo Plateau]].

==Trivia==
* This episode establishes that when a [[Contest Battle]] ends in a tie, an extra battle with no time limit is held, which ends when one of the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s reaches zero points, or when the [[Contest Judge|judges]] rule {{DL|Fainting|Battle Off}} for a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* A karaoke version of [[I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~]] is used as background music.
* A karaoke version of [[Face Forward Team Rocket!]] is used as background music for the preview for [[AG176|the next episode]].
* This is the first time {{p|Skarmory}}'s voice is dubbed since its debut in ''[[EP152|Hot Matches!]]''.
* This is the last time [[Jessie]] uses her "Jessebella" disguise after {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} discover it.
* The episode's English [[dub]] title is based on the phrase "{{wp|go for broke}}".
* The episode's title is formatted as '''Going for Choke''' on [[Pokémon.com]], without the exclamation mark.
* {{TRT}} doesn't blast off or recite their {{motto}} in this episode.
* [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] background music is used in this episode.
* This episode marks a rare occasion where a member of Team Rocket refers to one of the main protagonists by name. In this case, [[James]] tells {{Ash}} that he received a phone call from home.
* [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]] references {{wp|Agatha Christie}}'s mystery novel ''{{wp|And Then There Were None}}'' when announcing the finals, saying, "And, then there were two!"

===Errors===
* In [[Jessie]]'s first match in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Round]], the camera is overlooking the entire battlefield from a distance, and there appears to be {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on it. However, in the very next scene, there aren't actually any Pokémon on it yet.
* [[Brock's Forretress]] is sent out from a regular {{i|Poké Ball}} instead of a [[Fast Ball]].
* In one scene, {{p|Banette}}'s tail is missing.
* When {{TP|May|Squirtle}} uses {{m|Tackle}} on Banette, it deals damage, despite it being a {{type|Normal}} move. The same thing happens later when Squirtle uses {{m|Rapid Spin}}. This contradicts what happened in ''[[AG062|Disguise Da Limit]]'' and ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', when [[Max]] and [[Agatha]] respectively explained that Normal-type moves have no effect on Ghost-types when a Normal-type move failed to damage a Ghost-type.
* In some scenes, {{AP|Pikachu}}'s voice can be heard, but he cannot be seen. Also, these scenes have nothing to do with him, implying an error.

===Dub edits===
* The song "[[Pokémon the First Movie (score)|Dragonite Takes Flight]]" from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' is used.
* Team Rocket refers to [[Harley]] as their "sensei" in the Japanese version. In the English dub, they simply refer him by his name.

'''Carbink''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メレシー''' ''Melecie'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it is related to {{p|Diancie}}, a mutated version of it.

==Biology==
[[File:Carbink and Diancie.png|thumb|left|250px|Four Carbink variants alongside their [[Diancie (anime)|queen]]]]
Carbink is a gray, rock-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a conical body. Its body has light blue crystals of various shapes and sizes embedded in it. A white, fluffy collar surrounds its small head. It uses this soft mane to polish the gems of other Carbink. It has bright blue eyes, a light blue crystal on top of its head, and flat diamond-shaped ears. [[M17|In some media depictions]], the fluffy collar, ears, and pattern of the blue crystals on the Carbink’s body can differ based on size and crystal pattern. Due to its small stature, it ties with {{p|Minior}} and {{p|Dwebble}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.

Carbink is born from the high temperatures and pressures underground. Since then, it has slept underground for millions of years. It is also occasionally found during cave excavations. It is known to compare its {{a|Sturdy|hard body}} with those of {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Roggenrola}}. It is known to be preyed upon by {{p|Sableye}}, and caught by {{p|Gabite}}. Carbink defends itself by shooting high-energy beams from the gem on its head and other parts of its body. Although Carbink are not specially rare, the jewels on its body draw the attention from people. Rarely, Carbink will undergo a strange mutation and transform into the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Diancie}}. It is said that a pack of Carbink lives with a Diancie queen in a [[Diamond Domain|jeweled kingdom]] deep underground. It is also said that there lies a mineral vein housing another, larger pack of Carbink with another Diancie queen. Carbink is also one of the few Pokémon found in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]].

==Trivia==
* Carbink shares the same category name as {{p|Diancie}}. They are both known as the Jewel Pokémon.
* Carbink is tied with Diancie for the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.
* Excluding {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], Carbink is the only gender unknown Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]].
* Carbink is the only {{type|Rock}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Carbink is tied with {{p|Dwebble}}, {{p|Minior}}, and {{p|Rolycoly}} for the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] Rock-type Pokémon.
* Carbink is transferrable into {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}'s original release despite not being a [[first partner Pokémon]], a Legendary or Mythical Pokémon, in the Paldea Pokédex, or in the [[evolution]]ary line of a Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex. However, it is strongly linked with the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Diancie}}, and was later included in the Kitakami Pokédex.
* Despite being catchable in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]], Carbink does not appear in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]] or [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]].

===Origin===
Carbink could be based on the {{wp|Carbuncle (legendary creature)|carbuncle}}, a mythical fairy-like creature that was rumored to be able to emit light and have gemstones growing out of its body. It physically resembles {{wp|ore}}s, rocks that contains minerals with important elements that are valued for a high price. Carbink may also be based on {{wp|carbonate}}-based minerals which tend to form jagged, geometric shapes and can recrystallize into diamonds under extreme heat and pressure. Its {{wp|bagworm}}-like aesthetic may allude to {{wp|glowworm|glowworms}} (like the cave-dwelling {{wp|Arachnocampa luminosa|New Zealand glow-worm}}), [https://abookofcreatures.com/2017/03/17/carbunclo/ also used in some carbuncle descriptions], the dangling nests and incomplete metamorphosis of some species mirroring bagworms.

====Name origin====
Carbink may be a combination of ''carbuncle'' (referring to {{wp|Carbuncle (legendary creature)|the mythical creature}} and {{wp|Carbuncle (gemstone)|a type of gemstone}}), ''{{wp|carbon}}'' (element diamonds are composed of), ''{{wp|Carat (mass)|carat}}'', and ''tink'' (to tinkle).

Melecie may be a combination of ''melée'' (small cut diamonds), 珍しい ''mezurashii'' (rare), and 石 ''ishi'' (stone). Melecie and {{p|Diancie}} share the same ending sound.

'''Dachsbun''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バウッツェル''' ''Bowtzel'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Fidough}} starting at [[level]] 26.

==Biology==
Dachsbun is a stout, canine Pokémon with an elongated body. Its fur is mostly brown, with various shades of lighter and darker brown on its head, snout, ears, neck, back, tail, and paws, along with a yellow underbelly. It has black beady eyes with two small eyebrow-like protrusions above them, and a long snout with a small, dark triangular nose. Its ears, together with the dewlap around its neck, resemble bread rolls. On its back is a series of protuberances that resemble a braid, and its tail is circular and somewhat flattened. It has shaggy tufts of yellow fur on its neck and the tip of its tail, and its feet have pale yellow paw pads and three yellow claws each.

Dachsbun's body emanates a pleasant, appetizing aroma, which helps wheat to grow; thus, Dachsbun is historically treasured by farming villages. When it's exposed to intense heat, Dachsbun's skin will harden; this is showcased by its [[signature Ability]], {{a|Well-Baked Body}}. The appetizing scent of Dachsbun's body is strong enough to send an opponent's hunger into overdrive. This overdrive sensation eventually can lead to the opponents wearing down their willpower and stamina.

===Evolution===
Dachsbun evolves from {{p|Fidough}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==In the manga==
==In the TCG==
{{main|Dachsbun (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Dachsbun shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Boltund}}. They are both known as the Dog Pokémon.
* Dachsbun is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 477.
* Dachsbun and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Fidough}}, were designed by [[Mari Shimazaki]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/MariShimazaki/status/1806662918186188869 Tweet] by 島崎麻里 (@MariShimazaki). Posted on June 28, 2024.</ref>

===Origin===
Dachsbun seems to be based on the {{wp|dachshund}} breed of dog, known for its elongated body and short legs, and various baked goods such as bread loaves, bread rolls, {{wp|bun}}s, {{wp|challah}}, {{wp|brioche}}, and {{wp|pretzel}}s. The two concepts together may be a pun on the phrase "{{wp|purebred}}" — a term used to recognise dogs of consistent genetic lineage — as it is pronounced like "pure bread".

Its darker colors compared to {{p|Fidough|its pre-Evolution}} appears to reference the {{wp|Maillard reaction}}, a chemical reaction that occurs in cooked foods that gives them their characteristic brown color and flavor. This is reinforced by its signature Ability, {{a|Well-Baked Body}}.

====Name origin====
Dachsbun may be a combination of ''dachshund'' and ''bun''.

Bowtzel may be a combination of ''bow wow'' (onomatopoeia for a dog's bark) and ''pretzel''.

'''Articuno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

In [[Galar]], Articuno has a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} [[regional form]], introduced in [[The Crown Tundra]] expansion. Neither Kantonian Articuno nor Galarian Articuno are known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}}, it is one of the three [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
Articuno is a large {{wp|Aves|avian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with predominantly sky blue plumage and wings said to be made of ice. On its forehead is a crest that consists of three, darker blue rhombus-shaped feathers. It has circular red eyes, a short gray beak, and long, thin gray legs. Each foot has three forward-facing digits and one facing backward. On its chest is a mass of white, downy feathers. Its long, streamer-like tail is longer than its body and the same shade of blue as its crest. Its appearance is so beautiful that, as stated in [[An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS]], those who see it will die rooted to the spot.

Articuno has the power to control ice at will. In ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', its ice is said to have formed the ocean's cradle alongside {{p|Moltres}}'s fire, and it has some connection to the weather patterns of the [[Orange Islands]]. When Articuno flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in the air around it, making snow fall. It flies from icy mountain to icy mountain. According to legend, it appears before doomed travelers lost in icy regions. As seen in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', Articuno sometimes aids travelers and guides them to safety. Articuno lives in cold, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|isolated locations}} such as snowy mountains filled with permafrost. It is also shown to be territorial in ''The Power of One'', immediately moving to conquer the territories of Moltres and {{p|Zapdos}} in their absences, and fighting among them thereafter. When fighting alongside them, however, their combined power can defeat {{p|Lugia}}. As seen in {{aniseries|HZ}}, like other [[Legendary Pokémon]], Articuno can be found in the Pokémon paradise [[Laqua]]. Articuno loves [[Articuno Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered and sang with it in the past.

{{pkmn2|Shadow}} Articuno is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Shadow Chill}}.

===Forms===
Articuno has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Galarian}} Articuno.
[[File:144Articuno-Galar 2.png|left|thumb|200px|Galarian Articuno using {{m|Freezing Glare}}]]

In [[Galar]], Articuno has a distinct appearance. Its main body has lavender coloration with a black marking covering its chest. Its feet are black with lavender talons. The three feathers of its crest, which are longer, fused, and folded to the back, have the same purple color as its beak and tail. Its eyes glow light blue, appear to be mostly closed, and are surrounded by a black, mask-like facial disc. When Articuno utilizes its psychic power, the entire mask glows the same color as its eyes, as do the white, feather-like blades of condensed psychic power at the edges of its wings.

Galarian Articuno keeps itself airborne with its psychic power, almost never having to use its wings for this purpose. Instead, the blades on its wings can be used to slice through iron as easily as paper. Its eyes can fire {{m|Freezing Glare|beams of psychic energy}} that leave its opponents stuck in place as if frozen solid — this is what earns this Pokémon the name of its Kantonian counterpart. It also has the ability to create mirages of itself in order to fool its opponent and escape. Its elegant and refined movements belie a cold and callous personality. It is constantly migrating around the world, but can be found in the [[Crown Tundra]] once every few decades, congregating with the other birds at the [[Dyna Tree Hill|Dyna Tree]] to eat its fruits.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-articuno/ Galarian Articuno | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Galarian Articuno is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Freezing Glare}}.

===Pokédex entries===
In Japanese, the wording 「でんせつのれいとうポケモン」 (''Legendary Freezing Pokémon'') is found in the Pokédex entry from [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|LeafGreen]]. This is a reference to Articuno's {{pkmn|category}} (English: Freeze Pokémon; Japanese: れいとうポケモン). However, in the English version of LeafGreen, this was changed to "legendary bird Pokémon" instead, which is an expression also found in several other Pokédex entries of the three [[legendary birds]].

Although it managed to defeat their {{p|Muk}}, it spent so much energy in doing this that it was soon {{pkmn2|caught}} by the Grunts and placed under [[Team Rocket]] Commander [[Koga]]'s possession. He later used it to battle {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Red}} at [[Silph Co.]], where it froze both of them. However, [[Blue's Charizard]] quickly melted the ice trapping them, allowing Red and Blue to defeat Koga. Articuno was later merged with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} into {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer|a combination Pokémon}} that was defeated by Red, Blue, and {{adv|Green}}, causing it to split up again and freeing the legendary birds.

Green later caught Articuno before the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} as a part of overcoming her fear of birds. She used it and the other legendary birds to battle {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} in [[Ilex Forest]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Legendary Pokémon engravings EP002.png|thumb|250px|Engraving of Articuno (top right) in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'']]
* {{rf|Galarian}} Articuno shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Liepard}}. They are both known as the Cruel Pokémon.
* In the [[EP002|second episode]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', there is an engraving on a wall in the Viridian City Pokémon Center that depicts the [[legendary birds]]. Ash mistakes the Articuno engraving as {{p|Ho-Oh}}. While the blue coloration of the stone indicates the {{t|Ice}} type, and the wings and crest feathers are those of Articuno, the multiple tail feathers look nothing like Articuno's tail, being more similar in appearance to those of Ho-Oh.
* In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there are binoculars in the [[gate]] separating [[Fuchsia City]] from {{rt|15|Kanto}}, through which Articuno can be seen flying toward the sea. It is still visible in the binoculars even if it is captured or defeated in the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* In the opening of ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', {{Todd}} points out a tall mountain that is Articuno's home. This mountain is, on the outside, the same as [[Ice Island]], Articuno's home in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, Articuno is the only one in its trio that cannot be encountered unless the player enters an event password.
** Also, it is the only {{t|Ice}} Pokémon in [[List of Pokémon by IQ group|IQ group]] C.
* [[Kanto|Kantonian]] Articuno is the only Pokémon other than {{p|Poliwrath}} (Generation II only) and {{p|Smeargle}} that is able to learn {{m|Lock-On}} or {{m|Mind Reader}} and an [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO]] move, being able to learn Mind Reader and {{m|Sheer Cold}}. An Articuno using this combination can be fought in the [[Battle Subway]].
* Articuno's English name was suggested by Bill Giese, who assisted in the naming of many [[Generation I]] Pokémon.<ref name=MonsterKids />
* Articuno and the other two legendary birds had Australian beetle species [[List of references to Pokémon in science|named after them]]: ''Binburrum articuno'', ''Binburrum zapdos'', and ''Binburrum moltres''. The three species were first described in 2020, and were collectively named after the legendary birds to reflect their rarity.<ref>[https://twitter.com/YHsiaoBeetle/status/1345310387059625985 Tweet by Yun Hsiao (@YHsiaoBeetle)], posted Jan 2, 2021</ref><ref>Hsiao, Y. & Pollock, D. A. (2020). ''[https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/canadian-entomologist/article/abs/contribution-to-the-knowledge-of-the-endemic-australian-genus-binburrum-pollock-1995-coleoptera-pyrochroidae-pilipalpinae-with-description-of-three-new-species/D9782DFAEEF63A38915484E7CD532F46 Contribution to the knowledge of the endemic Australian genus Binburrum Pollock, 1995 (Coleoptera: Pyrochroidae: Pilipalpinae), with description of three new species].'' The Canadian Entomologist. 153 (2): 244–256.</ref>

===Origin===
Articuno seems to take inspiration from various mythical birds such as the Persian {{wp|Simurgh}}, {{wp|Huma bird|Huma}}, and {{wp|Roc (mythology)|Roc}}, or the Chinese {{wp|Fenghuang}}. Many of these rare birds were said to live on high mountain peaks and are symbols of good fortune. Tales of their benevolence might be the inspiration behind Articuno’s reputation for rescuing people. Anatomically, it is very similar to the {{wp|white-throated magpie-jay}}, and its streamer-like tail feathers are similar to the {{wp|resplendent quetzal}}.

As suggested by the Pokédex entries, the three legendary birds appear to be embodiments of {{wp|seasons}}, Articuno represents {{wp|winter}}, while {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} represent {{wp|summer}} and {{wp|spring}}, respectively. {{wp|Autumn}} is however unrepresented.

Galarian Articuno’s facial feathers resemble a mask worn at a {{wp|masquerade ball}} as well as some form of protective eyewear such as glasses, goggles, or a visor. Its freezing glare might be a reference to the {{wp|Cockatrice}}, a mythical reptile/bird monster that could turn people to stone with its gaze. Its {{Shiny}} coloration is similar to Kantonian Articuno's regular coloration.

====Name origin====
Articuno is a combination of ''arctic'' and ''uno'' (Spanish for ''one'', indicating that it is the first of the [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]).<ref name=MonsterKids>Dockery, Daniel (October 4, 2022). ''[[Monster Kids: How Pokémon Taught a Generation to Catch Them All]]''. Running Press. p. 33. ISBN 978-0762479504.</ref><ref>(2006). ''[[Pokémon Fan (US)|Pokémon Fan]]: 10th Anniversary News Booklet'', p. 9 ([https://archive.org/details/10-anni-book/ Archive])</ref>

Freezer is literally ''freezer'' (that which freezes).

'''Cyndaquil''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒノアラシ''' ''Hinoarashi'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Quilava}} starting at level 14, which evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}} starting at level 36.

In [[Hisui]], it evolves into Quilava starting at level 17, which evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Totodile}}, Cyndaquil is one of the three [[Johto first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Johto]] available at the beginning of {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. It is also one of the three [[Hisui first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Hisui]] in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, alongside {{p|Rowlet}} and {{p|Oshawott}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Jimmy Cyndaquil.png|thumb|left|180px|Cyndaquil without its flames lit]]
Cyndaquil is a small, bipedal {{wp|mammal}}ian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with bluish fur on top of its body and cream-colored fur on its underside. Its eyes are usually seen closed, and it has a long, thin snout. Its arms are short, but its legs are slightly more developed and have a single nail on each foot. On its back are four red circles that can erupt into flames. When the flames are burning, its back has the appearance of being covered in spines.

Cyndaquil is capable of defending itself using these flames, and the fire grows more powerful as it becomes angry or defensive. Cyndaquil's firepower is described as being tremendously powerful. However, if it is tired, the flames are not able to burn properly. It is timid by nature and often curls into a ball when threatened. Due to this, Cyndaquil prefers staying hunched over. Though rare in the wild, it can be found living on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Cyndaquil is known to usually sleep curled up.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> On rare occasions, it will spout flames from its back while sleeping.
{{left clear}}

===Evolution===
Cyndaquil evolves into {{p|Quilava}}, which evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}}.

In [[Hisui]], it evolves into Quilava, which evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion.

[[File:Ash Cyndaquil.png|thumb|250px|Cyndaquil in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
[[File:Cyndaquil Egg.png|thumb|250px|A Cyndaquil {{pkmn|Egg}} in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Cyndaquil]]=====
{{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} a Cyndaquil in ''[[EP141|Good 'Quil Hunting]]''. During its early days on Ash's [[Party|team]], Cyndaquil would easily become tired out (e.g. waiting a while for the flames on its back to ignite so it could use {{type|Fire}} attacks). Eventually, Cyndaquil overcame its shortcomings. Following the end of his {{pkmn|journey}} in [[Johto]], Ash left Cyndaquil, along with the rest of his Johto [[Party|team]] (save for {{p|Pikachu}}), at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab when he set out for [[Hoenn]]. Later, Ash called Cyndaquil back into his party for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''. It evolved into {{p|Quilava}} after a {{pkmn|battle}} with {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]].

=====[[Jimmy's Cyndaquil]]=====
Cyndaquil is {{jo|Jimmy}}'s [[first partner Pokémon]] that he received from [[Professor Elm]]. It evolved all the way to Typhlosion prior to ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

=====[[Dawn's Cyndaquil]]=====
In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', {{an|Dawn}} defeated {{an|Lyra}} in a battle, winning an {{pkmn|Egg}}. Shortly after, the Egg hatched into a Cyndaquil. It later evolved into a {{p|Quilava}} in [[DPS01]].

=====Other=====
Cyndaquil debuted in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'', where it was one of the three first partner Pokémon [[Professor Elm]] had to give out at his lab.

In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', a Cyndaquil assisted Pikachu and [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] in the distant past.

In ''[[JN009|Finding a Legend!]]'', [[Chad]] used a Cyndaquil and {{p|Fearow}} to create a fake {{p|Ho-Oh}} for his grandfather [[Jaye]]. However, their ruse was exposed when Pikachu attacked it with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Cyndaquil later accompanied its {{pkmn|Trainer}} to the top of the [[Bell Tower]].

In ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'', [[Alternate World Dawn]]'s Quilava [[devolution|devolved]] into Cyndaquil in a flashback due to {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}}'s influence.

In ''[[JNS01|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 1)]]'', [[Goh]] temporarily caught a Cyndaquil while visiting a Sinnoh Fest in [[Canalave City]].

====Trophy information====
''Cyndaquil frighten easily, so they're often found curled up in balls. When threatened, they flare the flames on their backs to drive off enemies.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Cyndaquil no longer come out of Poké Balls and instead return only as a trophy.

====Trophy information====
''"A Fire Mouse Pokémon. It's a timid creature that often curls up into a ball. When threatened, it flares up the flames on its back to scare off enemies. When it's angry, it can produce powerful flames, but when it's tired, it has trouble producing fire and suffers from incomplete combustion. When it levels up, it evolves into Quilava. Its squinty eyes are adorable."''

==Trivia==
* Cyndaquil, {{p|Charmander}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
* The [[game intro]] for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} features a sprite of Cyndaquil that is slightly different from the one used in the rest of the game (most noticeably in its eyes). This sprite is not used anywhere else.
* Cyndaquil's [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]] image features a Cyndaquil battling a {{p|Skarmory}}. This may [[List of cross-canon references|reference]] the episode ''[[EP152|Hot Matches!]]'', in which [[Ash's Quilava|Ash's Cyndaquil]] battled [[Miki]]'s Skarmory.
* Cyndaquil was featured in the seventh episode of the ''[[Beyond the Pokédex]]'' series.
* Cyndaquil is the only first partner Pokémon of Johto that is not one of the [[Lumiose first partner Pokémon]] in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, instead being replaced by {{p|Tepig}}.

===Origin===
Cyndaquil appears to be based on an {{wp|echidna}} with traits of {{wp|tenrec}}s, such as its long snout and having little to no tail. The shape of its closed eyes resemble those of baby {{wp|porcupine}}s, as well as its fire, when lit, resembles the quills of the same animal. Cyndaquil could also be based on the Chinese mythological creature called {{jwp|火鼠|Hinezumi}}, the same as Cyndaquil's species name in Japanese, which is a fire mouse that lives in volcanoes.

====Name origin====
Cyndaquil may be a combination of ''cinder'' (ashes) and ''quill'' (referring to needle-like hairs).

Hinoarashi may be a combination of 火 ''hi'' (fire) and ヤマアラシ (山荒) ''yama-arashi'' ({{wp|porcupine}}). It can be taken to mean 火の嵐 ''hi no arashi'' (storm of fire).

'''Quilava''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マグマラシ''' ''Magmarashi'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Cyndaquil}} starting at level 14 and evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}} starting at level 36.

In [[Hisui]], it evolves from Cyndaquil starting at level 17 and evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion starting at level 36.

==Biology==
[[File:Ash Quilava no flame.png|thumb|left|250px|Quilava without its flames lit]]
Quilava is a quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long and slender body. The top half of its body is a dark blue-green, while its underside is cream-colored. It has triangular ears with dark red interiors, a rounded snout, and triangular red eyes. Each of its paws has three toes. It has five red spots on its body that can project flames: two arranged vertically on its forehead and three lined up horizontally on its rear.

Before a battle, Quilava turns its back so its flames face its opponent. It battles using these intense flames in combination with gusts of superheated air. Its own fur is non-flammable, which protects it from other fire attacks. Quilava tends to be rare in the wild, but can sometimes be found living on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. When exposed to the mysterious energy of [[Mount Coronet]] in [[Hisui]], Quilava's Evolution is altered, gaining it the {{t|Ghost}} type as it becomes Hisuian {{p|Typhlosion}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Quilava's flames on its back blaze brightly while it sleeps.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Evolution===
Quilava evolves from {{p|Cyndaquil}} and evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}}

In [[Hisui]], it evolves from Cyndaquil and evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion.

====[[Ash's Quilava]]====
In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', {{Ash}}'s Cyndaquil evolved into a Quilava after it fought one of {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket's mechas|mechas]]. He later used it during his {{pkmn|battle}} with [[Nando]] at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], where it went up against Nando's {{p|Armaldo}}; the battle resulted in a tie.

====[[Jimmy's Quilava]]====
{{jo|Jimmy}}'s Cyndaquil evolved into Quilava and further into Typhlosion sometime before the events of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

====[[Dawn's Quilava]]====
In [[DPS01]], {{an|Dawn}}'s Cyndaquil evolved into a Quilava in order to fight off a swarm of {{p|Ariados}}. It later reunited with Ash in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]''.

====Other====
Quilava debuted in ''[[EP262|You're A Star, Larvitar!]]'', where Ash witnessed a {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{pkmn|training}} with one for the [[Silver Conference]]. He also briefly considered getting his Cyndaquil to evolve as a way of training it for the Silver Conference, following Cyndaquil's defeat against {{OBP|Satchel|EP262}}'s {{p|Magby}}.

In ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style!]]'', [[Macy]] used a Quilava against Ash during the Silver Conference, but it was defeated by {{AP|Squirtle}}'s {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Later, in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', it battled [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} and won.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', [[Clark]] used a Quilava and {{p|Charizard}} against [[Ash's Grovyle]] and {{AP|Glalie}} during their [[Double Battle]] at the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. Despite the type disadvantage, Ash's Grovyle defeated Clark's Quilava.

In ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]'', [[Ryan and Bryan|Ryan]] used a Quilava in a battle against Ash and {{an|Dawn}} alongside his twin brother Byan and his {{p|Croconaw}}. The twins were initially able to defeat [[Ash's Turtwig]] and [[Dawn's Piplup]] due to the latter two having a lack of teamwork, but they were defeated in the rematch.

[[Alternate World Dawn]]'s Quilava appeared in a flashback in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'', [[devolution|devolving]] into Cyndaquil due to {{p|Dialga}}'s influence.

{{main|Quilava (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Quilava shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its evolved form and {{p|Entei}}. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
** Coincidentally, they all are capable of learning {{m|Eruption}}.
* Quilava, {{p|Charmeleon}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
* Jeff Kalles, who assisted in the naming of many [[Generation II]] Pokémon, suggested the English name for Quilava. According to Kalles, he suggested the name because [[Nintendo]] and [[The Pokémon Company]] wanted a Pokémon for every letter of the alphabet.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sellak/status/1431127202876194816 Tweet by Jeff Kalles (@Sellak).] Posted on August 27, 2021.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/Sellak/status/1501389663814098956 Tweet by Jeff Kalles (@Sellak).] Posted on March 9, 2022.</ref>

===Origin===
Quilava's body is similar to that of animals in the {{wp|Cuniculidae}} family, particularly due to the fur on its upper body being significantly darker than that on its underbelly. However, the pattern distribution and shape of Quilava's flames closely resembles the quills and crest of the {{wp|crested porcupine}}, especially in its earlier sprites, as well as those of a [[wp:Lowland streaked tenrec|lowland streaked tenrec]]. It may also be based on volcanoes due to its triangular profile when standing up and the ability to learn [[Smokescreen]] and {{m|Eruption}}.

====Name origin====
Quilava may be a combination of ''quill'' (a needle-like hair) and ''lava'' (extrusive molten rock).

Magmarashi may be a combination of ''magma,'' 穴熊 ''anaguma'' ({{wp|badger}}) and 山荒 ''yama-arashi'' ({{wp|porcupine}}).

==Biology==
[[File:Jimmy Typhlosion.png|thumb|200px|left|Typhlosion without its flames lit]]
Typhlosion is a bulky mammalian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long, yet agile body. It is classified as a quadruped, but it is capable of bipedal movement. Most of its body is cream-colored, but its back and the top of its head are a dark green-blue. It has a short, rounded snout and small, triangular eyes and ears. When its mouth is open, its sharp canine teeth and thick tongue are visible. Each of its paws has five digits and there is a coarse, spiky fringe of fur along its rear. Across the back of its neck, several red spots can produce fire.

Typhlosion is capable of making anything go up in flames when angered and creating explosions by rubbing its fur together. The heat it generates when ready for battle creates a shimmering haze that can also be used to hide itself. When fully enraged, anything Typhlosion touches instantly goes up in flames. Though it is rare in the wild, it can be found living on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Typhlosion is known to toss and turn while sleeping. Because this behavior causes its fur to rub together, creating accidental explosions, it is recommended to avoid a sleeping Typhlosion.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Forms===
[[File:HisuianTyphlosionVAstralRadiance53.jpg|thumb|150px|Hisuian Typhlosion's ghost flames]]
Typhlosion has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion.

Hisuian Typhlosion's appearance is believed to have been influenced by the energy emanating from [[Mount Coronet]] at the center of the [[Hisui]] region. Its ears droop beside its head. The fur on its back is a purplish-blue color, and extends to the front of its neck, forming a collar pattern. It has fire-producing spots all around its neck, covering the collar pattern, and these spots produce flames that wisp in a bright magenta red color.

Hisuian Typhlosion has graceful and refined movements, and a gentler, more pacifistic nature compared to Johtonian Typhlosion. It can often be seen staring into space; it is assumed that as Hisuian Typhlosion does this, it looks at the flow of life energy and searches for wayward spirits and lost souls to eat. It is believed that Hisuian Typhlosion purifies spirits with its flames as it eats them before it guides them back to the afterlife where they belong. Despite its peaceful nature, Hisuian Typhlosion can lose control of its emotions when sufficiently angered and can unleash ghost flames that can incinerate its opponents until nothing remains. It can emit a total of 108 ghost flames from the spots on its neck. Once unleashed, every single ghost flame attacks its opponents while taking on the appearance of ferocious beasts.<ref>[https://legends.arceus.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/typhlosion/ Hisuian Typhlosion | Pokémon Legends: Arceus]</ref>

Hisuian Typhlosion is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Infernal Parade}}.

===Evolution===
Typhlosion evolves from {{p|Quilava}} and is the final form of {{p|Cyndaquil}}.

In [[Hisui]], Typhlosion has a [[regional form]] that evolves from Quilava and is the final form of Cyndaquil.

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Typhlosion anime.png|250px|thumb|Typhlosion in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'']]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Jimmy's Typhlosion]]=====
Typhlosion debuted in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', where it was {{jo|Jimmy}}'s [[first partner Pokémon]], which he got as a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from [[Professor Elm]].

=====Other=====
In ''[[AG055|Poetry Commotion!]]'', [[Mr. Moore]] sent out a Typhlosion to stop {{TRT}} from making off with [[Flannery]]'s {{p|Torkoal}}.

====Minor appearances====
Typhlosion made its main series debut in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]'', where the [[Pokémon Trainers' School]] lent one to a student for use during a {{pkmn|battle}} with a {{p|Feraligatr}}.

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', a Typhlosion was among the Pokémon that could be caught during the [[Pokémon Catch Race]]. Another was seen during a flashback.

A Trainer's Typhlosion appeared in ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]''.

A Trainer's Typhlosion appeared in [[HZ130]], during a fantasy.

===GOTCHA!===
A Typhlosion briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]], under the ownership of {{ga|Silver}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Exbo.png|thumb|220px|Typhlosion in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Exbo}}
{{adv|Gold}}'s Quilava, [[nickname]]d Exbo, evolved into a Typhlosion in ''[[PS148|Lively Lugia (Part 3)]]'' to protect {{adv|Silver}}, {{adv|Crystal}}, and himself from {{p|Lugia}}. Afterwards, his larger size allowed him to be a method of faster travel (akin to Crystal's [[Archy|Arcanine]]), and with his increased power allowed Gold to hold his own and even overpower the [[Masked Man]].

A Typhlosion appeared in ''[[PS272|Old Ultima Puts Them to the Test]]'', under the ownership of [[Ultima]]. He was first seen displaying his {{a|Blaze}} [[Ability]] alongside her {{p|Meganium}} and his {{a|Overgrow}} Ability. However, this act damaged much of the surrounding landscape, as well as a large portion of the ship nearby, earning the old woman much ire.

A Typhlosion appeared in ''[[PS442|Out-Odding Oddish]]'', under the ownership of a [[Pokéathlon]] participant.

===Pokémon: Yeah! I Got Pokémon!===
A Typhlosion appeared in [[GDZ67]], under the ownership of a {{OBP|monk|GDZ}}.

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:UNITE Typhlosion.png|200px|thumb|Typhlosion in Pokémon UNITE]]
===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
{{main|Typhlosion (UNITE)}}
Typhlosion is playable through obtaining a Unite License. It is a ranged attacker that starts as Cyndaquil and evolves into Quilava at level 5, which evolves into Typhlosion at level 7.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Johtonian Typhlosion and {{p|Charizard}}, along with their respective evolutionary lines, have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
* Typhlosion and {{p|Togetic}} are the only Pokémon officially introduced in [[Generation II]] not to appear in the {{pkmn|animated series}} until the next [[generation]].
* Johtonian Typhlosion shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Quilava}} and {{p|Entei}}. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
** Additionally, they are all capable of learning {{m|Eruption}}.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}'s internal code, Hisuian Typhlosion's Hidden Ability is {{a|Flash Fire}} instead of {{a|Frisk}}.
* Typhlosion is the only fully evolved form of one of the [[Johto first partner Pokémon]] to have a [[regional form]] as opposed to a [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved form]].

===Origin===
Typhlosion's body shape is similar to that of animals of the {{wp|Mustelidae}} family, particularly {{wp|badger}}s, while the flames on its body closely resemble the quills found in {{wp|porcupines}}, {{Wp|hedgehog|hedgehogs}}, and {{Wp|echidna|echidnas}}. It may also be based on volcanoes, which is reflected in its {{pkmn|category}}, [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]], triangular volcano-like shape while standing up, and the ability to learn {{m|Smokescreen}} and {{m|Eruption}}. It may also be based on the [[wp:Mujina|Mujina]], a shapeshifting yokai occasionally described as resembling a badger, with similar abilities to that of a {{wp|Bake-danuki|Tanuki}} (and occasionally identified as being or confused with the mythological tanuki). Mujina are able to summon ghost-fire called ''tanuki-bi'' (狸火), resembling will-o-wisps. Hisuian Typhlosion's design and Fire/Ghost typing may be based on the ''tanuki-bi'' of Mujina.

Hisuian Typhlosion appears to be based on {{wp|psychopomp}} figures, common in many mythologies. More specifically, it may be based on {{wp|Kamuy-huci}}, the {{wp|Ainu people|Ainu}} goddess of fire and the hearth, whose fire is said to act as a gateway between the human world and the spirit world. The ghost flames on its neck are reminiscent of a necklace of {{wp|magatama}} beads, which are associated with various spiritual beliefs, including the ancient Japanese practice of burying them in graves along with the deceased as offerings for the gods. Like {{p|Spiritomb}}, the specific amount of its ghost flames, {{wp|108 (number)|108}}, is considered sacred in Buddhist numerology and coincides with the number of beads in a {{wp|Japamala}}. Hisuian Typhlosion's coloration may be a reference to Johtonian Typhlosion's {{Shiny}} coloration in [[Generation II]]; conversely, Hisuian Typhlosion's Shiny coloration is similar to Johtonian Typhlosion's normal one.

====Name origin====
Typhlosion may be a combination of ''{{wp|typhoon}}'' and ''explosion''. It could also derive from ''{{wp|Typhon}}'', a monster in Greek mythology who was said to be buried under the volcano {{wp|Mount Etna}} after his defeat and who also had a mate named {{wp|Echidna (mythology)|Echidna}}; or ''{{wp|Eulipotyphla}}'', a mammalian order containing shrews, hedgehogs, moles, and solenodons.

Bakphoon may be a combination of 爆風 ''bakufū'' (blast from an explosion) and ''typhoon''.

==Trivia==

* There is no [[Mega Nidothing's Mega Mega! Mega Evolution]] segment for this episode.
* This episode does not contain any [[eyecatch]]es, instead having the [[series]] logo on the screen before and after the commercial break.
* The [[title card]] for this episode is shown over the background directly, and thus is not read aloud.
* If not counting {{pkmn|movie}}s or the [[Mega Evolution Specials]], this is the first episode in the {{pkmn|animated series}} in which a [[Legendary Pokémon]] is seen [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]].
** This is also the first time in all of the animated series that a Legendary Pokémon required a [[Mega Stone]] and a {{pkmn|Trainer}} with a [[Key Stone]] to Mega Evolve.
* This is the first time in {{aniseries|HZ}} that a Key Stone was not shown to be placed in a [[Mega Ring]] based on its {{g|Legends: Z-A}} appearance.
* This episode marks the first time that:
** A female main character has officially {{pkmn2|released}} a non-temporary Pokémon [[DP019|without recatching it later]] since {{an|Misty}} released her {{TP|Misty|Togetic}} in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', 1,049 episodes earlier.
** Legendary Pokémon have been voluntarily released.
* [[Spinel]]'s {{p|Umbreon}} abandoning her Trainer is reminiscent of the [[White Zygarde]] abandoning [[Gibeon]] in ''[[HZ088|The Earthshaking White Zygarde]]'' for their selfish actions in using the Laquium. This marks one of the few instances of a Pokémon outright abandoning their Trainer.
** Both instances also happened following a battle against [[Liko's Meowscarada]].
* This is the last episode of the ''[[Rising Again]]'' chapter.
* The preview segment was replaced by a special trailer for the upcoming ''[[Wonder Voyage]]'' arc.

'''Morrison''' (Japanese: '''マサムネ''' ''Masamune'') is a recurring character in {{aniseries|PTS}}. He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Verdanturf Town]] and a [[rival]] of {{Ash}}. He dresses in traditional Japanese attire.

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|RS}}====
[[File:Ash and Morrison.png|thumb|left|220px|Morrison and Ash]]
Morrison first appeared in ''[[AG118|Less is Morrison]]'', chasing a runaway {{tt|rice ball|sandwich in the English dub}}. Ash caught the snack and was about to give it to him but {{TP|May|Munchlax}} ended up gobbling it away. Morrison felt miserable about Munchlax taking his snack but felt better afterwards. He revealed to Ash and {{ashfr}} that he was planning on entering the [[Hoenn League]] and winning it. Ash was planning on doing the same, starting a friendly rivalry between the two Trainers.

After arguing on who is better, Morrison accepted Ash's decision on having a battle. Morrison sent out his {{TP|Morrison|Beldum}} against [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Despite Beldum using Take Down continuously, the battle ended in a draw. He ran off after finding out that Ash had all of the Hoenn [[Badge]]s already. He met up with Ash near a Pokémon Center and they had a race to see who could get there first, which ended in a draw. Morrison then challenged Ash to various contests such as a food eating contest.

In the middle of one of their contests, {{TRT}} showed up and snatched Pikachu and Beldum. They placed Morrison and his rival in a cage. Both Trainers successfully broke out of the cage they were in with their Take Down techniques, as they left all of their Pokémon (except for Pikachu and Beldum) behind. Ash and Morrison ran very fast and jumped onto [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's balloon]]. They had a battle with them by treating themselves as Pokémon. They were able to free Pikachu and Beldum, which then blasted off Team Rocket.

Morrison reappeared during the [[Ever Grande Conference]] arc. In ''[[AG126|Saved By The Beldum]]'', he announced that he won his final Badge. Seeing Ash's full team, Morrison revealed his whole team including Beldum. He declared himself as a rival to Ash for the tournament. During the preliminaries, Morrison's first opponent was {{OBP|Jump|AG126}}. The battle began with an overwhelming start as Beldum's Take Down was continuously blocked by {{m|Protect}}. Since Beldum can only use Take Down, Morrison was at a disadvantage. As Morrison was about to be eliminated, Beldum started to [[Evolution|evolve]] into a Metang. Morrison defeated his opponent by having Metang use {{m|Confusion}} to stop Electabuzz and used Take Down to finish it off.

In ''[[AG127|From Brags to Riches]]'', Morrison was paired up with [[Gavin]] as his opponent in the second round of the Ever Grande Conference, which consists of Double Battles. He sent out {{p|Growlithe}} and {{p|Gligar}} while Gavin used {{p|Machamp}} and {{p|Marowak}}. His Growlithe lost to Marowak while Gligar took out Machamp first and then Marowak when both sides were down to one Pokémon.

In ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'', Morrison defeated a Trainer with a {{p|Machoke}} and found out that he had to battle Ash as his next opponent, something that both of them did not expect. This saddened Morrison as he was not yet ready to battle Ash. During their battle, Morrison felt so bad about battling Ash that he initially only attempted to defend and quickly lost two of his Pokémon to {{AP|Corphish}}. Ash managed to snap him out of his funk, making him realize he wasn't being fair to his Pokémon who were relying on him. Now finally battling properly, he sent out {{p|Swampert}} as his third Pokémon and tied with Corphish. Their battle continued in ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', where Morrison was finally giving his all. His {{p|Steelix}} knocked out two of his Pokémon before losing to {{AP|Grovyle}}. When both sides were down to one Pokémon, he was left with Metang while Ash was left with {{AP|Glalie}}. After a tough battle, Glalie was victorious despite the type-disadvantage. Morrison stayed around and left after the Ever Grande Conference was over.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
[[File:Morrison party.png|thumb|220px|Morrison's party prior to Beldum's Evolution]]
In ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'', Morrison was seen watching {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}'s [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against Ash on [[television]].

===Character===
Morrison has a very spirited personality, and he likes to challenge other people to almost everything. Due to this, he usually challenges Ash to various events such as Pokémon battles, racing each other, or even a food eating contest. His personality seems to mirror Ash's during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]; frequently showing signs of immaturity and overconfidence. Though when faced with tough situations, such as having to battle someone whom he considers a good friend, he doesn't always know what to do and will become depressed. This is seen after Morrison learned Ash would be his next opponent in the Ever Grande Conference. It also shows that he doesn't hold winning to a higher degree of importance over friendship.

Morrison relied on it when he competed in the [[Ever Grande Conference]], where it evolved into Metang during the battle with {{OBP|Jump|AG126}}'s {{p|Electabuzz}}. Since then, it helped Morrison progress through the rounds until his battle with {{Ash}}, where it was beaten by his {{AP|Glalie}}.}}

As Morrison was unwilling to battle against Ash, he gave Girafarig very few commands to attack and even called for an ineffective Light Screen against {{m|Vise Grip}}, resulting in it being quickly defeated by [[Ash's Corphish]]'s {{m|Crabhammer}}.

In the battle, Growlithe took Gavin's {{p|Marowak}} as its main target. Despite pulling a good battle, Growlithe was eventually knocked out by Marowak's {{m|Bone Club}}.

Later, Morrison sent Growlithe out in his battle with Ash to face Ash's {{p|Corphish}}. Being unwilling to battle with his friend, Morrison just kept Growlithe dodging attacks, but it was quickly knocked out by a Crabhammer after slipping on the ice battlefield.

Growlithe's known moves are {{m|Take Down}}, {{m|Flamethrower}}, and {{m|Agility}}.}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In ''[[HZ115|Welcome to Blueberry Academy!]]'', Roy and his friends arrived at Blueberry Academy where he reunites with Ann and Nemona. Roy then has a Double Battle with Nemona. However, despite his efforts, Roy losses to Nemona. In the [[HZ116|next episode]], Roy started his training with one of the BB Elite 4 members, [[Drayton]], by doing some Blueberry quests. The "training" turned out to be false when [[Lacey]] discovered Drayton had tricked Roy into doing his quests for him. After Drayton heard Roy battled with Hassel, whom his grandfather was associated with, he began to train Roy seriously with a Double Battle. While Roy's Pokémon held their own, once Drayton used {{m|Rain Dance}} to his advantage, Crocalor and Kilowattrel were defeated easily, causing Roy to lose. After this loss, Drayton told Roy he should be more calm and less tense in battle, after which Roy and Crocalor chose to laze around next to a {{p|Slakoth}} in the [[Terarium]] to get an idea of what Drayton meant.

In ''[[HZ119|Don't Give Up, Crocalor!]]'', Roy and Drayton had their rematch, with Crocalor and Kilowattrel facing off against {{p|Kingdra}} and {{p|Archaludon}} once again. This time Roy was more calm and composed, trusting his Pokémon better and using better strategies to counter his oppnent's weather tactics. Soon Kingdra was defeated with a combined attack, only for Archaludon to attack Crocalor, resulting in Kilowattrel protecting its teammate and getting knocked out afterwards. With Kilowattrel's defeat, Crocalor clashed with Archaludon, with Roy cheering him on, which resulted in his evolution into {{p|Skeledirge}}. After Roy and Drayton Terastallized their respective Pokémon, Skeledirge defeated Archaludon by powering through its Draco Meteor attack with Flamethrower, winning Roy the rematch. Roy thanked Drayton for his training, and Liko congratulated Roy on his victory.

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

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

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

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

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

In [[HZ132]], Roy and the group arrived at Diana's place to request her help, which she accepted. Roy trains his Lucario's Aura in order to use its new Mega Evolved form. However, realizing that Lucario isn't relax like him and the rest of his Pokémon are, Roy encourged the Aura Pokémon to join them and sang together. Roy and his Pokémon then watch Ult train with Diana and Master Mayonnaise. Through Ult's advice about finding a new battle style for his Pokémon, Roy realize that he and Lucario need to do the same. Roy was then challenged to a rematch by Master Mayonnaise, which he accepted. During the battle, Roy and Lucario found a new battling style, even becoming in sync, leading to Lucario Mega Evolving into its Z form. Through their teamwork, Roy and Lucario won the rematch then bid farewell to Master Mayonnaise. Roy and the group head for Laqua.

In [[HZ133]], Roy, Ult, and Friede lead Coral and Sidian away from Liko and Dot's group. After leading Coral and Sidian to a different location, Roy, Ult, and Friede did a [[Triple Battle]] with them and Chalce against their Mega-Evolved Pokémon. In the [[HZ134|next episode]], Roy, Ult, and Friede defeated Coral, Chalce and Sidian then left them. Once they meet back up with the girls and reunited with Amethio, Roy and the group encounter Spinel, Rubina, and Indi.

In [[HZ135]], Roy and his friends start erasing the Laquium Core, but the Explorers got in the way, even defeating Penny's {{p|Sylveon}} in the process. However, Roy and the group became surprised when Coral turned against Spinel and used her Scream Tail, nicknamed Screamypuff, to take Sylveon's place. Roy and the group became even more surprised when Chalce and Sidian also turned against Spinel as they with Coral decided to team up with the heroes in order to stop him for good. During the process to remove Laquium, Spinel merged with its Core, casuing it to awaken, much to Roy and the group's shock. Roy and the group tried to fight it, but it was too strong. However, they refused to give up and found out that the middle of the Laquium Core was the weak point that they needed to hit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Since losing Friede, the Rising Volt Tacklers disbanding after being framed by [[Spinel]], and his year training in [[Kalos]], Roy has noticeably matured, as he is much calmer and reserved, but still maintains his adventurous spirit. While he still pursues strength, he has developed a more principled and mission-focused demeanor and prioritizing protecting others over pursuing strength for the sake of it. Liko comments on how he appears more dependable than before. However, his relationship with his would-be rival Ult is tenuous at best: while Roy can get along with him, respects Ult's skill as a Trainer and tolerates his presence at times, he finds Ult to be a nuisance and a liability who will only get in the way of his personal missions, and Roy's actions around him suggest he doesn't want to put up with him, even going so far as to keep him in the dark as to his reason for pursuing the Black Rayquaza and forcefully dragging Liko away from him when he goes on tirades about power. Roy also would be at odds with Ult and teases him. Despite this, Roy does have a close friendship with Ult and tries to keep him out of trouble. Roy does show concern for Ult and doesn't want to see him get hurt. Although, as time passed, Roy's friendship with Ult has shown improvement, which has them clashing less and are more supportive to each other. Roy would even take Ult's advice about battling, as shown in [[HZ132]].

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

During his training with [[Drayton]] at [[Blueberry Academy]], Roy learned to become more relaxed even in the heat of battle as before he would get very worked up and thus leave him unable to think about the next move and he would panic slightly about what to do next. This trait partially lead to his defeat by Drayton in ''[[HZ116|Terarium Training!]]'', but using what he learned from Drayton he won the rematch in ''[[HZ119|Don't Give Up, Crocalor!]]'' with his Crocalor evolving into {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} in the process. Roy's development in being relaxed during battle is shown in [[HZ125]], when he stayed calm and found an opening during his battle against Moltres. He even used Drayton's lesson to help his Lucario be less frustrated and go with the flow more in [[HZ132]].

In [[HZ131]], it's revealed that Roy isn't able to properly use or harness Aura for his Lucario to have access to its new Mega Evolution, despite being able to read Lucario's movements in ''[[HZ114|Mega Evolution - Bonds]]'' though his and Crocalor's Aura. However, after bonding more, Roy and his Lucario were able to pull off the new Mega Evolution in their rematch against Master Mayonnaise.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Roy party.png|thumb|250px|Roy's [[party]] prior to [[HZ134]]]]
Roy's team consists mainly of gluttons, which is a trait their Trainer's also has, who had problems in the past, usually involving some form of insecurity: {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} was initially embarrassed of singing in front of others, {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} was scared of heights, and {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} would easily get frustrated. However, through his unorthodox methods, he was able to help his Pokémon overcome them and, by doing so, allowed them to truly grow. During Skeledirge and Kilowattrel's first stages, they used to look up to [[Friede's Charizard]] and [[Captain Pikachu]], respectively, due to their shared types. His Pokémon all share Roy's eagerness for battling, as they don't give up until the end.

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

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

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

'''Troppy''' (Japanese: '''とろろ''' ''Tororo''), known as '''Pilo''' in [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations, is a {{p|Tropius}} that {{adv|Sapphire}} owns in [[Pokémon Adventures]] and one of her first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Troppy was given to Sapphire by her father, [[Professor Birch]]. As of ''[[PS266|It All Ends Now VII]]'', he is at [[level]] 56 and his [[Characteristic]] is that he is "alert to sounds."

==History==
==={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}===
[[File:Sapphire and Troppy.png|thumb|left|200px|Troppy and Sapphire]]
Prior to the start of her {{pkmn|journey}}, Sapphire received Troppy from her father, [[Professor Birch]], as a means for aerial travel. Troppy first appeared in the end of ''[[PS213|Bubble Bubble Toil and Azumarill II]]'', as a way to quickly get up [[Mt. Chimney]] in order to chase [[Team Aqua]]. Upon reaching the top of the mountain, Sapphire spots Team Aqua's machine and has Troppy attack with {{m|Razor Leaf}} to scatter the Team Aqua Grunts below. Before they can attack the machine itself though {{adv|Amber}} interferes with his {{p|Pelipper}}'s {{m|Hydro Pump}}. As Troppy and Pelipper battle in the sky [[Shelly]] urges [[Professor Cozmo]] to set up the meteorite inside the machine as fast as possible. [[Flannery]] tells Sapphire to get past Amber and go for the machine, but Sapphire says she can't as Amber is feinting, pretending to fight badly and staying defensive, only attacking when they head for the machine in order to keep them at a distance. Unable to get in close range, Sapphire orders Troppy to use {{m|Magical Leaf}}, an attack that never misses. Unfortunately, it hits the machine just after Cozmo finishes setting up the meteorite, so the machine's defenses block the attack.

In ''[[PS216|Mixing It Up with Magcargo]]'', Troppy battled Team Aqua. Sapphire has Troppy and [[Chic]] launch a barrage of attacks that continue to get countered, no matter how hard they try. Sapphire, suddenly realizing something, has Troppy and Chic hold their fire. Approaching the "enemy," Sapphire discovers that a ring of {{m|Mirror Coat}} has been set up around them, reflecting all their attacks back upon themselves, and that Team Aqua had left long ago.
[[File:Troppy Flying.png|thumb|250px|Troppy carrying Ruby and Sapphire into battle]]
In ''[[PS231|Master Class with Masquerain]]'', Troppy, alongside [[Rono]] and {{p|Donphan|Phado}}, were used in Sapphire's battle against [[Winona]] and her {{p|Masquerain}}, {{p|Swablu}}, and {{p|Beautifly}}. Although Winona's Pokémon proved tough, Sapphire manages to defeat her, earning the {{badge|Feather}}.

In ''[[PS248|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon X]]'', Troppy, alongside {{adv|Ruby}} and Sapphire's other Pokémon, battled [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]]. Troppy was seen being pushed back by Archie's {{p|Walrein}}'s {{m|Sheer Cold}}.

In ''[[PS259|Rayquaza Redemption II]]'', Troppy flies Ruby into the final battle against {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}}.

In ''[[PS267|It All Ends Now VIII]]'', Troppy battled alongside the rest of Sapphire and Ruby's Pokémon against Maxie and Archie.

==={{MangaArc|Emerald}}===
In ''[[PS330|The Final Battle III]]'', Troppy battled the {{p|Kyogre}} that [[Guile Hideout]] summoned.

==={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}===
In ''[[PS609|Kyogre Returns]]'', Troppy chased [[Zinnia]] after she goes to stop the rocket the scientists launched. After catching up, Troppy attacks with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}. Once landing on the rocket, he and Sapphire are attacked by [[Zinnia's Salamence]], knocking them off and sending them into the ocean.

==Personality and characteristics==
Unlike his {{pkmn|Trainer}}, Troppy is a calm and collected Pokémon. He is {{adv|Sapphire}}'s main means of aerial transportation. Though powerful, Sapphire rarely uses him for battle, preferring [[Rono]] and [[Chic]] over him. The fruit on Troppy's neck are edible for people and Pokémon.

'''Glalie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オニゴーリ''' ''Onigohri'') is an {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Snorunt}} starting at [[level]] 42. It is one of Snorunt's final forms, the other being {{p|Froslass}}.

Glalie can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Glalie''' using the [[Glalitite]]. Mega Glalie was introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

==Biology==
Glalie is a spherical {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that consists of a black rock core covered by ice. The icy covering has several holes and spaces across this Pokémon's body. Blue eyes and a mouth with flat teeth are visible through three of these holes. There are two large, black, conical horns on either side of Glalie's head.

There is a legend that says Glalie was born from a boulder that has absorbed the distress and regrets from any mountaineers that got lost on icy mountains. Glalie's icy body is actually rock that is not particularly hard. When covered in ice, its body becomes harder than steel. It does not melt, and it can control ice by instantly freezing moisture in the air into any desirable shape. This ability is used to drape itself in ice armor and freeze its prey, which it then consumes whole. It prefers consuming Pokémon that are already frozen, such as {{p|Vanillite}}. It can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}, particularly when the outside weather lacks snow.

In the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Glalie is depicted floating in midair and moving freely, similar to flying, and can even be ridden as a form of [[Transportation in the Pokémon world#Pokémon as transport|transport]].

===Forms===
Glalie can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Glalie.

Mega Glalie's jaw is dislocated because of the overwhelming energy, causing its mouth to extend to the length of its face. The lower jaw is all black except for two light-blue, conical, icy spikes. The pupils in Mega Glalie's eyes are now red instead of black. The horns on top Mega Glalie's head have been partially turned into ice, with the addition of a third horn on its forehead.

Mega Glalie can spill endless blizzards from its broken mouth, though it gets irritated by the fact that it can no longer consume its prey. The areas Mega Glalie often appears in will cause the area to be whited out. Mega Glalie tends to throw foes or prey into its gaping mouth.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150207094938/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-glalie Mega Glalie]</ref> Any prey that it envelopes within its mouth is frozen instantly.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Glalie]]=====
Glalie debuted in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', when {{Ash}}'s Snorunt evolved into a Glalie. It only remained on his [[Party|team]] until after the [[Ever Grande Conference]], when it was left at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]].

=====Other=====
In ''[[DP116|The Drifting Snorunt!]]'', a {{OBP|Poacher|DP116}} used a Glalie to assist him in capturing a Snorunt, which it did by frightening it into submission. However, it was defeated by [[Ash's Chimchar]] and a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Froslass}}.

In a flashback in ''[[BW140|Survival of the Striaton Gym!]]'', [[Morana]] used a Glalie to battle and defeat [[Cress's Panpour]].

In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', a Glalie that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] fell under the control of [[Levi]]'s Mega Wave. Glalie was used to battle {{OBP|Volcanion|M19}}. It was later freed from Levi's control when [[Alva]]'s Mega Wave Crystal was destroyed, and it escaped.

Three Glalie appeared on [[Mt. Chimney]] in ''[[JN064|Absol Absolved!]]''.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', a Glalie appeared under the ownership of [[Coral]]. It has since made further appearances in {{aniseries|HZ}}. In [[HZ133]], it was revealed to be capable of Mega Evolving.

{{Ash}} owns a Glalie in [[Ash & Pikachu]] just like his animated series counterpart.

===Pokémon Adventures===
In ''[[PS251|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIII]]'', [[Glacia]] owns a Glalie.

[[Noland]] was seen picking a Glalie as one of his [[rental Pokémon]] in his {{pkmn|battle}} against {{adv|Emerald}} in ''[[PS307|Gotcha Where I Wantcha, Glalie]]''. Although he came close to winning by delivering a would-be-fatal {{m|Sheer Cold}} that succeeded in hitting his target, [[Emerald's Sceptile]] was, in fact (unbeknownst to both Noland and Emerald), not meant to be a rental Pokémon and survived due to his higher level. He eventually lost to Sceptile's {{m|Iron Tail}}, allowing Emerald to win the [[Symbol|Knowledge Symbol]].

The {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} rented a Glalie, which was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in ''[[PS315|Skirting Around Surskit I]]''.

In ''[[PASM32|Shock!! Father in the Pendant!]]'', a Glalie was seen on [[Mount Lanakila]].

===Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire===
A Glalie appeared in ''[[PMRS29|Rare Pokémon!!]]''.

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

==Trivia==
* Glalie shares all of its base stats with {{p|Phione}}.
* [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'s Snorunt trophy incorrectly claims that only male Snorunt evolve into Glalie.
* Glalie and its evolutionary relatives are the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Mega Glalie is the only Mega-Evolved Pokémon introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} that is not dual-typed.

===Origin===
Glalie appears to be based on human features, like those of a cold, distant person or facial expression. It also appears somewhat similar to an {{wp|goaltender mask|ice hockey mask}}. Due to its Japanese name, horns, and teeth, it may be based on an ''{{wp|oni}}'' or {{wp|Tsurube-otoshi}}. The oni-like features and mask-like appearance may reference the {{wp|Namahage}}, demons portrayed by men wearing oni masks and straw capes (mino) as part of a ritual in northern Japan. Glalie's pre-Evolution Snorunt appears to wear a mino. It may also be based on ''{{wp|onigiri}}'' ([[rice ball]]), as its Japanese name suggests. It also resembles a {{wp|hail}}stone.

Mega Glalie appears to wear a {{wp|beard}}.

====Name origin====
Glalie may be a combination of ''{{wp|glacier}}'' and ''{{wp|Goaltender|goalie}}''.

Onigohri is a combination of 鬼 ''{{wp|oni}}'' (demon), 氷 ''kōri'' (ice), and ''goalie'' — former [[Game Freak]] staff Akihito Tomisawa stated that he coined the name because he thought the Pokémon looked like a goalie mask.<ref>[https://bsky.app/profile/maneaterbooks.bsky.social/post/3ktfj5jndl72y Akihito Tomisawa (@maneaterbooks.bsky.social) on Bluesky]</ref> The name may also be a pun on ''{{wp|onigiri}}''.

'''Drone Rotom''' (Japanese: '''ドローンロトム''' ''Drone Rotom'') are {{p|Rotom}} inhabiting drones that serve as [[battle judge]]s, primarily in the [[Galar]] [[region]]. In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', they act as the official judges throughout the world for [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}}s.

This [[form]] of Rotom cannot be used in battle.

==In the core series games==

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In {{aniseries|JN}}, as soon as a battle appointment between two Trainers is made for a [[World Coronation Series]] match, a Drone Rotom is sent flying to the location where the battle takes place. The Drone Rotom can display a hologram picturing the participants in the battle and how many Pokémon they can send out. Like regular referees, it also explains the battle rules to Trainers. After the battle, the Drone Rotom will announce that the rankings have been updated and then leave the site.

A Drone Rotom first appeared in ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]'', where it judged the battle between {{Ash}} and [[Visquez]]. A Drone Rotom judged almost all of the subsequent on-screen World Coronation Series matches.

In ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', five Drone Rotom flew over [[Wyndon]] while expelling colored smoke to form the logo of the World Coronation Series in the sky, in order to celebrate the start of the [[Masters Eight Tournament]].

'''Granbull''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グランブル''' ''Granbulu'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Snubbull}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
Granbull is a stout, lilac, bipedal, {{wp|bulldog}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Eveh though it's classified as bipedal, it can get around on all fours. It has a prominent lower jaw with two long, fang-like growths. Its upper jaw has two small fangs. The jaws are so heavy that the Pokémon has trouble keeping its head up. On the sides of its head are flat, curved ears, and its small nose is black. There is a black collar around its neck with two small white markings on it. Around its wrists are two black band markings, and it has a short tail.

A Granbull's main weapons are its well-developed lower jaw and heavy fangs. The bite from its jaws is said to be very powerful. However, due to how heavy its jaws are, Granbull keeps its head tilted down constantly for balance. Despite its fierce appearance, it is actually very timid and sensitive, even more so than {{p|Snubbull}}. Granbull rarely bites as it prefers not to get involved in disputes. Unless Granbull is startled or sufficiently angered, it will not bite indiscriminately. If attacked, it will flail about to fend off its attacker. Granbull is popular with young people due to how it acts and looks. It is considered too incompetent to be a guard dog due to its fearful nature. Granbull wanders around {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

===Evolution===
Granbull evolves from {{p|Snubbull}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

After the game is completed, he goes into a newly discovered cave and [[Evolution|evolves]] without realizing what was happening, though be enjoyed his new appearance after getting over the initial shock. This event alerted the rest of the characters that Evolution was now possible.

==Trivia==
* Granbull and its pre-evolved form [[List of categories by abundance|share]] their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Clefable}}. They are all known as the Fairy Pokémon.
** The "Fairy Pokémon" category predates the introduction of the {{type|Fairy}} in [[Generation VI]]. From this generation onwards, the type and category of these four Pokémon share the same English name. However, this is not true in Japanese, where the type is フェアリータイプ ''Fairy-type'' and the category is ようせいポケモン ''Yōsei Pokémon''.
* As the [[Ability]] {{a|Quick Feet}} did not exist until [[Generation IV]], a Snubbull with either {{a|Intimidate}} or {{a|Run Away}} will always evolve into a Granbull with Intimidate in [[Generation III]] games. This means that in Generation III, Granbull is the only Pokémon with an Ability that evolves from a Pokémon with one of two possible Abilities that shares to Granbull's Ability.

===Origin===
Granbull may be based on the {{wp|bulldog}}, a dog breed that can appear fierce but is actually gentle. Bulldogs are often depicted as being used as {{wp|guard dog}}s, which may explain Granbull's thick collar and wristband/shackle-like markings. Due to its large size, it is possible that Granbull may be based on large bulldog breeds, like the {{wp|Serrano Bulldog}}, {{wp|Ca de Bou}}, and {{wp|Alano Español}}.

Its {{pkmn|category}}, [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Egg Group]], and {{t|Fairy|type}} may reference the {{wp|Cù-sìth}}, a creature in {{wp|Celtic mythology}} whose name means ''dog fairy''. Alternatively, while its intimidating appearance could be reminiscent of various grotesque mythical creatures such as {{wp|goblin}}s and {{wp|orc}}s, it might be inspired specifically by {{wp|kobold}}s, sprites that are commonly represented as dog-like in Japanese media.

====Name origin====
Granbull and Granbulu may be a combination of ''grand'', ''grumble'', and ''bulldog'' or ''bully''.

The '''legendary giants'''<ref group="note">Capitalized as "legendary giants" in Pokémon Sword and Shield.</ref> or '''Giants of Legend'''<ref>From the name of their battle theme in the [[Pokémon Sword - Shield + Expansion Pass Super Music Collection]] and [[Nintendo Music]]: "Battle! (The Giant of Legend)".</ref> (Japanese: '''{{ruby|巨|きょ}}{{ruby|人|じん}}{{ruby|伝|でん}}{{ruby|説|せつ}}''' ''Kyojin Densetsu'', '''{{ruby|巨|きょ}}{{ruby|人|じん}}の{{ruby|伝|でん}}{{ruby|説|せつ}}''' ''Kyojin no Densetsu'', or '''{{ruby|伝|でん}}{{ruby|説|せつ}}の{{ruby|巨|きょ}}{{ruby|人|じん}}''' ''Densetsu no Kyojin'', "giants of legend") is a [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|quintet]] of [[Legendary Pokémon]] consisting of {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regieleki}}, and {{p|Regidrago}}. They are also known as the '''Legendary titans''',<ref>[http://pokemon.gamespress.com/Deoxys-Returns-and-Clashes-with-Rayquaza-in-the-Delta-Episode-of-Pokem Pokémon Gamespress (UK)]</ref> '''Legendary Rock Pokémon''',<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/2023-pokemon-tcg-standard-format-rotation-strategy 2023 Pokémon TCG Standard Format Rotation Strategy | Pokemon.com]</ref> and '''Regis'''.<ref>Pokémon GO Newsletter: March 2023, email newsletter, Mar 25 2023</ref> Separately, Regieleki and Regidrago are referred to as a duo by [[Peony]] as the '''twin giants''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|双子|ふたご}}の{{ruby|巨人|きょじん}}''' ''Futago no Kyojin''). Fans also referred to them as the '''legendary golems'''. They reside in several different [[region]]s, such as [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], and [[Galar]] (specifically the [[Crown Tundra]]). {{P|Regigigas}} was the one that created the quintet out of different [[Type|materials]].

They were originally a trio when first introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, but became a quintet with the introduction of {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}} in {{G|Sword and Shield}}'s [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|expansion]], [[The Crown Tundra]].

==Shared design==
The giants share very similar names. Each has seven dots for eyes, arranged in a different pattern, similar to the [[braille]] that is connected to their legend. Unlike the [[legendary birds]] and [[legendary beasts]], the giants do not have {{a|Pressure}} as their [[Ability]], though the original three giants do share the Ability {{a|Clear Body}}. Like them, however, the legendary giants have a leader (and like the beasts, a creator) in {{p|Regigigas}}. Each member requires a puzzle to unlock them in the games they are in.

==History==
Long ago, the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Regigigas}} created other Pokémon in its own image, using {{t|ice}}, {{t|rock}}s, {{t|steel|magma}}, a cluster of {{t|electric}} energy, and crystallized {{t|dragon}} energy, which would be known as {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regieleki}}, and {{p|Regidrago}} respectively. Regieleki and Regidrago are especially powerful among the giants, but both do not have access to their full power, as Regieleki was fitted with special non-conductive equipment to limit its power<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/regieleki/ Newly discovered Legendary Pokémon Regieleki | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> and Regidrago was sealed within ancient ruins before it was completed by Regigigas.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/regidrago/ Newly discovered Legendary Pokémon Regidrago | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

All of the giants used to live alongside [[human]]s, being worshipped by them. After pulling the landmasses together and binding them with ropes to create the [[Region|regions]] of the [[Pokémon world]], Regigigas entered a deep sleep within [[Snowpoint Temple]], being sealed away by a large door locked by a puzzle. The other five golems were eventually sealed away by its worshippers out of fear of their power: Regirock was sealed in [[Hoenn]]'s [[Desert Ruins]], [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Rock Peak Ruins (Sinnoh)|Rock Peak Ruins]], and [[Galar]]'s [[Rock Peak Ruins (Galar)|Rock Peak Ruins]]; Regice in Hoenn's [[Island Cave]], Sinnoh's [[Iceberg Ruins (Sinnoh)|Iceberg Ruins]], and Galar's [[Iceberg Ruins (Galar)|Iceberg Ruins]]; Registeel in Hoenn's [[Ancient Tomb]], Sinnoh's [[Iron Ruins (Sinnoh)|Iron Ruins]], and Galar's [[Iron Ruins (Galar)|Iron Ruins]]; and both Regieleki and Regidrago in Galar's [[Split-Decision Ruins]].

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire===
In the Hoenn [[Generation III]] games and the remakes, the player must first unlock the tombs which hold the three giants by solving the puzzle in the [[Sealed Chamber]]. Only after doing this will they then be obtainable. Regirock is found in the [[Desert Ruins]] on {{rt|111|Hoenn}}. To encounter Regirock, the player must walk two steps to the right, two steps down and then use {{m|Strength}}{{sup/3|RuSa}}{{sup/6|ORAS}} or walk two steps to the left, then two steps down and use {{m|Rock Smash}}{{sup/3|E}}. Regice is found in the [[Island Cave]] on {{rt|105|Hoenn}}, and to encounter it, the player must wait two minutes in front of the sign{{sup/3|RuSa}}{{sup/6|ORAS}} or walk a counterclockwise lap around the walls of the cave{{sup/3|E}}. Registeel is found in the [[Ancient Tomb]] on {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, and it is necessary to go to the middle of the room and use {{m|Fly}}{{sup/3|RuSa}}{{sup/6|ORAS}} or {{m|Flash}}{{sup/3|E}} to open its cave.

===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl===
The original three legendary giants are only obtainable in [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pokémon Platinum]] if the {{player}} has a [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Regigigas}} in their [[party]] and has entered the [[Hall of Fame]]. Regirock is present in the {{si|Rock Peak Ruins}} on [[Sinnoh Route 228|Route 228]], Regice is present in the {{si|Iceberg Ruins}} in [[Mount Coronet]], and Registeel is present in the {{si|Iron Ruins}} on [[Iron Island]]. In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], and Platinum, Regigigas can be encountered in the basement of [[Snowpoint Temple]] if the player has the other three giants in their party. In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], Regigigas is again obtainable in Snowpoint Temple if the player has the other giants, though said other giants can now be encountered by using [[Discovery Slate]]s in [[Ramanas Park]]'s Discovery Room.

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], the original three legendary giants are obtainable in the [[Underground Ruins]]. Normally, the door in the Underground Ruins leads to a chamber where none of the giants are found; however, if one of three special [[Key System|key]]s is activated, the door will instead lead to the chamber of the titan corresponding to that key. The Rock Peak Key for Regirock is obtained immediately after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]]; after catching Regirock, the player will obtain either the Iron Key for Registeel{{sup/5|B2}} or the Iceberg Key for Regice{{sup/5|W2}}. The opposite version's key may be obtained by transferring it with [[Unova Link]] from a game that has it, allowing all three giants to be encountered in one game. Regigigas can be encountered in the lowest floor of [[Twist Mountain]] if the other three giants are all in the [[party]].

=== Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], each of the legendary giants may be encountered in the [[Ultra Space Wilds]] by following a yellow [[Ultra Wormhole]] to the Cave World during the [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. Regigigas only appears here in Pokémon Ultra Moon, though the original three are obtainable in both versions.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
The legendary giants appear in [[The Crown Tundra]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. They reside in ruins dotted about the [[Crown Tundra]], which cannot be entered until [[Legendary Clue 2]] is obtained. The original three each have individual ruins; however, {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}} share the same ruin, in which the player must select one of the two to obtain. Each ruin's door is closed unless a certain requirement is met, hinted at in writing on the doors. These requirements are: having the first Pokémon in the [[party]] hold an [[Everstone]] for the [[Rock Peak Ruins (Galar)|Rock Peak Ruins]], where Regirock is encountered; having a {{p|Cryogonal}} be the [[walking Pokémon]] for the [[Iceberg Ruins (Galar)|Iceberg Ruins]], where Regice is encountered; whistling at the door for the [[Iron Ruins (Galar)|Iron Ruins]], where Registeel is encountered; and having Regirock, Regice, and Registeel be in the party for the [[Split-Decision Ruins]], where either Regieleki or Regidrago is encountered. The Split-Decision Ruins may only be entered after the giants of the other three ruins have been [[Caught Pokémon|caught]], even if the three were [[trade]]d or [[transfer]]red from another game. Inside each of the ruins, after the pattern on the floor has been lit up by running over it, interacting with the statue will cause the titan to appear; in the case of the Split-Decision Ruins, the player must mark the pattern corresponding to the giant of their choice, and after the giant is encountered, the tiles that were not part of its pattern are permanently dimmed, even if it was defeated or [[escape|fled]] from. If Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Regieleki, and Regidrago are all in the party, a usually dormant [[Pokémon Den]] in the [[Giant's Bed]] will activate, containing a [[Max Raid Battle]] without allies against a [[Dynamax]] {{p|Regigigas}}; notably, this Regigigas is [[level]] 100.

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
All five members of the legendary giants along with Regigigas can be transferred into the games through [[Pokémon HOME]].

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]===
All three members of the legendary giants can be found in the Ruins area on [[Ruby Field|both]] [[Sapphire Field|fields]] of [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]].

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]/[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Rescue Team DX]]===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] and their remake, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Rescue Team DX]], each of them appear in the [[Buried Relic]] dungeon on specific floors as bosses, with Regirock on 15F, Regice on 25F, and Registeel on 35F. On defeat, the player will receive the [[Rock Part]], [[Ice Part]], and [[Steel Part]], which not only can be used separately to recruit the giants, but can be combined to create the [[Music Box]], an item which can cause {{p|Mew}} to appear randomly in Buried Relic.

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]]===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the [[Aegis Cave]] houses all three of the giants as well as Regigigas. The player's team must have the right [[Throwing item#Unown Stones|Unown stones]] that spell out each typing of the Pokémon (specifically, ICE, ROCK, and STEEL) in order to enter each titan's chamber. If the party does not have these stones, they must enter that titan's cave in order to collect more Unown stones. After beating all three Pokémon, the party immediately heads to Regigigas' Chamber to battle it.

===[[Pokémon Battle Trozei]]===
The legendary giants each appear as bosses in [[Colossal Forest]]. Regirock is the boss of Stage 1, Regice is the boss of Stage 2, and Registeel is the boss of Stage 3. Their leader, Regigigas, is the boss of the subsequent stage, Stage 4.

===[[Pokémon Rumble U]]===
In [[Pokémon Rumble U]], all three members can be fought in the [[Melodious Woodland#A Colossal Throwdown|A Colossal Throwdown]] challenge in Melodious Woodland, along with {{p|Golurk}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and their leader, {{p|Regigigas}}.

===[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]===
After reaching the {{DL|Rank (Mystery Dungeon)|Expedition Rank|Silver Rank}}, players can go to [[Triangle Temple]] on the [[Grass Continent]]. Like in Red and Blue Rescue Team, each member of the trio acts as a boss for certain floors, with Regirock appearing on B3F, Regice on B6F, Registeel on B9F, and their leader, Regigigas, on B12F. After beating the dungeon, all four Pokémon connect with the player.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
All three of the original legendary giants appear in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], forming recruitable [[sync pair]]s.

{{PairDex/h|Normal}}

|}

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In [[Pokémon UNITE]], the legendary giants, excluding {{p|Regidrago}}, serve as major objectives in [[Theia Sky Ruins]]. {{p|Regieleki}} appears on the top path, while a random member between Regirock, Regice, or Registeel appears on the bottom path. The game rerolls the bottom giant every time one spawns.

Regigigas appears separately, as an objective in [[Auroma Park]] and in [[Mer Stadium]]. In Mer Stadium, Regigigas only appears during Catch 'Em Battles. In Catch 'Em Battles, the player who defeats Regigigas can temporarily play as Regigigas.

In [[Panic Parade]], the Legendary giants, including Regigigas but excluding Regieleki and Regidrago make prominent appearances. They only appear on Expert and Extreme difficulties, as those are the only difficulties where the waves involving them are present. In Wave 12, which is included in Expert and Extreme, a random member between Regirock, Regice, and Registeel appears as a boss. It is backed up by an {{p|Eldegoss}}. In Wave 15, the final wave of the battle and only used in Extreme difficulty, Regigigas is the boss. When it is at about half of its maximum health, it summons two other Legendary giants (picked randomly between Regirock, Regice, and Registeel, but without picking two of the same giant). Regigigas becomes immune to all damage until both giants are defeated, glowing blue for the duration of this effect.

In {{DL|Mer Stadium|Full-Burst Battle! Dragon Dustup}}, taking place at [[Mer Stadium]]. Regidrago makes appearances as the objective Pokémon of both the Top and Bottom paths. Uniquely, Regidrago does not always appear in the center of the each path, instead spawning slightly forward on each path depending on which team KO'd it and if certain [[goal zone]]s have been destroyed on the path.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|RS}}====
{{main|Brandon's legendary giants}}
The legendary giants made their animated series debuts under the ownership of {{an|Brandon}}, each of which battled Ash's Pokémon throughout his journey to conquer the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. Ash lost to Regirock and Registeel, but emerged victorious against Regice, earning him the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]].

Brandon's legendary giants make recurring appearances in later [[series]].

====''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''====
{{main|Legendary giants (M08)}}
The legendary giants debuted in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', guarding the [[Tree of Beginning]] from intruders. They each followed {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], [[Kidd Summers|Kidd]], [[Jessie]], and [[James]] throughout the tunnel network beneath the Tree of Beginning. Once the intruders had all been consumed by the Tree, the legendary giants retreated.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
The legendary giants, along with {{p|Regigigas}}, also appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]''.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
[[Project Mew]] acquired the three legendary giants during {{aniseries|JN}}. In ''[[JN113|Chasing to the Finish!]]'', they were used to unseal the [[Split-Decision Ruins]] so that [[Goh]] and {{Gary}} could catch {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}, respectively, for their [[Field Research|Trial Mission]]. Once brought together, the five giants briefly awakened a [[Dynamax]] Regigigas.

{{main|Brandon's legendary giants}}
The legendary giants make two major appearances and two cameo appearances in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
{{Steven}} and the [[Hoenn]] [[Elite Four]] unsealed the three giants in order to stop the effects of the clash between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} from spreading beyond [[Sootopolis City]]. After the clash was stopped, the giants rebelled against their controllers and later disappeared.

===={{MangaArc|Emerald}}====
[[Brandon]] relocated the giants and caught all three of them. He later used them in his [[Battle Pyramid]] battle against {{adv|Emerald}}, who successfully beat all three of them, earning him the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]].

===={{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}====
[[Hop]], [[Bede]], and [[Marnie]] caught another set of the original giants at the [[Crown Tundra]]. Because this happened off-panel, it's unknown which of them caught which and what they did with them afterwards.

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure===
In ''[[DPA14|A Novel Test!!]]'', [[Candice]] was revealed to own all three members of the legendary giants. They were later used to awaken {{TP|Hareta|Regigigas}}, which was caught by [[Hareta]].

===Pocket Monsters Diamond and Pearl: Regigigas Major Capture Operation!!===
The legendary giants appeared in [[Pocket Monsters Diamond and Pearl: Regigigas Major Capture Operation!!]]. {{OBP|Kaito|RMCO}}, {{OBP|Yuki|RMCO}}, and [[Kento]] each owned one member of the trio. They were used to awaken {{p|Regigigas}}, which was caught by Kaito.

==In the TCG==
[[File:RegirockEXEmerald99.jpg|200px|thumb|{{TCG ID|EX Emerald|Regirock ex|99}}, an early card which explicitly calls out another legendary giant.]]
The legendary giants have had plenty of cards in the TCG, often referencing each others cards and powering up a {{TCG|Regigigas}} card. They are usually printed in the same sets, though this has lessened with the introduction of {{TCG|Regieleki}} and {{TCG|Regidrago}}. Those two Pokémon are sometimes printed as a duo separate from the remaining legendary giants. When the giants are printed together, their text sometimes parallels that of the other group members. Of them, {{TCG|Regirock}} has been printed the most without the others, being printed alone in {{TCG|Fates Collide}}, {{TCG|Sword & Shield}}, and as a {{TCG|XY Black Star Promo}}.

Of course, Regieleki, Regidrago, and Regigigas did not exist back during the [[EX Series]], which was when the first cards for the legendary giants were printed. The first set with the trio was {{TCG|EX Hidden Legends}} which contained {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Regirock ex|98}}, {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Regice ex|97}}, and {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Registeel ex|99}}. All were {{TCG|Pokémon ex}}, then the "powerful" Pokémon variation of choice. A second set of ex cards released in {{TCG|EX Emerald}}, each with an attack that was improved when a specific other giant, which was also a Pokémon-ex, was in play: {{TCG ID|EX Emerald|Regice ex|98}}'s Iceberg Crush is stronger with Regirock ex, {{TCG ID|EX Emerald|Regirock ex|99}}'s Metal Crush is stronger with Registeel ex, and {{TCG ID|EX Emerald|Registeel ex|100}}'s Block Signal is stronger with Regice ex.

{{TCG|EX Legend Maker}} gave the original trio printings as {{TCG|Pokémon Star}}, which all share a convention of an attack starting with "Final" that gets a boost when the opponent only has one Prize card left. A "regular" printing of these Pokemon did not occur until {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}}, which did so with all three having their [[Ability]] {{a|Clear Body}} adapted into a {{TCG|Special Condition}} blocking {{TCG|Poké-Body}}.{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In {{g|Colosseum}}, the puzzles needed to unlock the legendary giants in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} are referenced in Battle Mode's Single Battle Mount Battle. The 90th Trainer, {{tc|Area Leader}} Axley, has a party consisting of Regirock, Regice, Registeel, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Relicanth}}, and {{p|Wailord}}. Flygon is included because it was the only species at the time that could learn {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Strength}}, and {{m|Fly}}, which are required for the [[Sealed Chamber]]'s second puzzle, the [[Desert Ruins]]' puzzle, and the [[Ancient Tomb]]'s puzzle respectively.
* When the giants are encountered in {{game|Platinum}}, {{B2W2}}, and {{game|Sword and Shield|s|Pokémon Sword and Shield}}, an arranged version of the music used in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} is played. This theme is also used for Regigigas in Black 2 and White 2.
** This theme was present in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, but goes unused.
* Regirock, Regice, and Registeel are the only [[Generation III]] [[Legendary Pokémon]] to not be featured in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
** However, Registeel has made further appearances in [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] in the background of the {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}} stage.
* All of the original legendary giants, as well as Regigigas, share a weakness to {{type|Fighting}} moves, making them the only [[Legendary trio]] to share a common weakness, but not a common type.
* The legendary giants are the first Legendary trio to gain new members from a different generation.
** It is also the only Legendary Pokémon group to be a quintet.
* {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} and {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} are the only games that Regirock, Regice, and Registeel can be encountered in to not use a new version of the original Generation III battle music; Ultra Sun and Moon use the original, while Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl use an original composition.

'''Pachirisu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パチリス''' ''Pachirisu'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with {{p|Starly}} and {{p|Munchlax}}, Pachirisu is one of the three {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Ranger}} of [[Almia]] available at the beginning of {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.

==Biology==
Pachirisu is a small, white squirrel-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a faint blueish tint and a light blue stripe starting from its forehead and goes all the way down to the tip of the tail. A female Pachirisu's blue stripe is shorter than a male's. A large white tooth grows out of its mouth. It has deep gray eyes and a yellow circle on each cheek. Its tail is almost twice as big as its body, with three spikes at the top of the curl, which it can use to shoot charges. Though its arms and legs are very short, it can run incredibly fast, enabling it to tire pursuing Pokémon out quickly. It has a great amount of electricity flowing within its body. If it builds up enough charge, it may shock other Pokémon. It is related to the {{p|Pikachu}} line.

When it sleeps, Pachirisu likes to curl its big, fluffy tail round to the front of its body and uses it as a pillow. It also likes to chase and groom its tail. When a Pachirisu sheds its fur it shapes them into furballs, which have static charges just like its fur. It hides its favorite {{pkmn|food}}s—which mainly consist of berries—in these static puffs and stores them in tree holes. It does this to protect the food; if a human or another Pokémon tries to take the food, they will get shocked from the static. It may rub cheek pouches with another Pachirisu to share stored electricity. It is generally found in treetops in forests, as well as the outskirts of a forest and near power plants.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}: Pachirisu can be chosen to be the player's [[Partner Pokémon (Ranger)|Starter Partner Pokémon]], or can be obtained by clearing a quest in [[Ranger School]].
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}: Pachirisu is a regular visitor of [[Spinda's Cafe]].

==Trivia==
[[File:PBRTaylor.png|thumb|125px|Taylor's Pachirisu costume]]
* In {{g|Battle Revolution}}, {{OBP|Taylor|Battle Revolution}} wears a Pachirisu costume.
* Pachirisu is the only Pokémon allowed in [[Amity Square]] that is not part of an [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|evolutionary line]].
* Pachirisu has the lowest [[List of Pokémon by base stats|base stat total]] of any Pokémon that was part of a winning team of Pokémon [[World Championships]].
* Pachirisu is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Hyper Fang}} to not be a {{type|Normal}}.
* Pachirisu was featured in the second episode of [[Beyond the Pokédex]] series.

===Origin===
Pachirisu may be based on a {{wp|squirrel}}, possibly the {{wp|red squirrel}} in specific, which is found in great abundance in the Japanese island of {{wp|Hokkaido}} (which the [[Sinnoh]] region is based on), but nowhere else in Japan, due to the {{wp|Japanese squirrel}} taking its place. The spikes on its tail (and possibly its ears) could be a reference to {{wp|static electricity}}'s impact on hair.

The electric rodent design may come from tradition of creating a [[Electric_rodents|variant]] of the Pokémon franchise's main mascot, {{p|Pikachu}}, in every generation, and like Pikachu's, the yellow cheeks of Pachirisu store electricity reflecting rodents storing food in their cheeks.

====Name origin====
Pachirisu may be a combination of パチパチ ''pachipachi'' (onomatopoeia for electric crackling) and 栗鼠 ''risu'' (squirrel).

'''Heracross''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヘラクロス''' ''Heracros'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Heracross can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Heracross''' using the [[Heracronite]].

==Biology==
[[File:HeracrossScarletViolet2.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Heracross's wings]]
Heracross is a bipedal, {{wp|Coleoptera|coleopteran}} {{wp|insect|insectoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered in a navy blue exoskeleton as hard as steel. There is a long, pronged horn on its forehead. The horn ends in a cross on males and a heart-shape on females. On either side of the horn is a short antenna with a spherical tip. Heracross has oval, yellow eyes. Its forearms have a pair of spikes near the wrists, while its thighs have a single spike each. It has two claws on its hands, and a single long claw on each foot. There is a single pair of wings covered by {{wp|elytron|elytra}}, which can be seen during its release from a Poké Ball in the 3D games. Heracross's claws allow it to dig into the ground for sturdy footing and also allow it to climb trees.

Heracross possesses very high physical strength, but its flying capabilities are less impressive. It can use its horn to throw opponents or to compete for food, and can lift and throw objects 100 times its own weight. Heracross uses its two antennae to search for food by scent, and is especially fond of tree sap. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Heracross is known to occasionally sleep while licking the sap it finds.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> This occurs as it can become exhausted from a potentially difficult search for sweet sap. It makes its habitat in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|boreal, temperate, and tropical forests}}. In [[Generation II]], {{m|Megahorn}} was its [[signature move]].

As seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]'', Heracross has been known to compete with Pokémon such as {{p|Pinsir}} for food. The same episode also shows Heracross allowing {{p|Butterfree}} to feed on tree sap after Heracross has finished its meal. In addition, it is shown to suck sap from {{type|Grass}} Pokémon such as {{p|Bulbasaur}}. In [[Alola]], Heracross get along better with Pinsir, as they both have rivalries with {{p|Vikavolt}}.
{{left clear}}
===Forms===
[[File:Mega Heracross arm cannon animated.png|thumb|left|Mega Heracross' claws retracting into a weapon]]
Heracross can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Heracross.

Mega Heracross is bulkier than its previous form. Thin orange markings now rim its head, hands, and shoulders. Additionally, there is a half-circle, orange marking over its eyes. It now has a long, pointed nose that curves slightly upward. Its back now lacks wings and is completely yellow. The horn on its head has grown into a large, simple spike with two smaller spikes on the front. The antennae have lengthened as well and now have ovoid tips. Mega Heracross's forearms have thickened and lost their spines. Sometimes, when attacking, particularly with a [[multistrike move]], its exoskeletal shell on the upper side of its arms opens up, revealing a segmented yellow skin layer filled with holes, which let air enter and exit from its forearms. During these attacks, its claws simultaneously retract, allowing Mega Heracross to fire various types of ammunition at a rapid pace, such as {{m|Bullet Seed|seeds}}, {{m|Pin Missile|spikes}}, and {{m|Rock Blast|rocks}}.

This Pokémon has a high body temperature, so it opens the shells of its arms and torso to allow heat to escape.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Heracross</ref> Mega Heracross boasts such incredible strength that it can lift objects up to 500 times its own weight between its horns. This same strength allows Mega Heracross to lift a fighter plane. However, it is left with muscular soreness after reverting to its original form.

Afterwards, he protected Bugsy after he activated the runes in the chamber where they encountered Suicune. Heracross faced the Legendary Pokémon but was easily swatted away, forcing Bugsy to switch to another tactic. He later uses him to battle [[Sabrina]] in the opening ceremonies of the [[Pokémon League]].

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Heracross only appears as a random trophy.

====Trophy information====
''Heracross are powerful creatures that are known to drive their single horns into the bellies of their foes and then toss them over their heads. The immense power of their {{m|Megahorn}} move is said to be the strongest among Bug Pokémon. They are one of several types of Pokémon that can be found by shaking trees.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Heracross appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}. The Spirit Battle takes place on the Battlefield form of {{sbw|Garden of Hope}} with a sticky floor. The player must defeat {{sbw|Bowser}}, whose throws are stronger than normal and overall strength increases once his damage reaches a certain percentage.

==Trivia==
* Heracross can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Pinsir}}, replacing {{p|Scyther}} in that role, which gained an Evolution in [[Generation II]]. Both are {{type|Bug}} Pokémon based on beetles and lack an evolutionary line. Pinsir is not part {{t|Fighting}} like Heracross, but it learns several Fighting-type moves by leveling up. Excluding the [[Friend Safari]], both Pokémon and their [[Mega Stone]]s are versions exclusives in {{g|X and Y}}: Heracross and [[Heracronite]] are exclusive to Y while Pinsir and [[Pinsirite]] are exclusive to X. Each Mega Stone can be found in [[Santalune Forest]] in their respective versions. The heights of both Pokémon are the same, even when Mega Evolved. The Pokémon are also version exclusives in the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]]. Heracross can be found on the [[Isle of Armor]] if playing Shield, whereas Pinsir can be found in its place when playing Sword. Both of their Japanese names end in the same two characters, ロス ''rosu''.
* Mega Heracross has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.
* Heracross is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Heracross is the only {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Bug}}.
* Early artwork, including Ken Sugimori's official art and some TCG art, shows Heracross with a missing line above its head.

===Origin===
Heracross appears to be based on the {{wp|Japanese rhinoceros beetle}}. These beetles are known for their incredible strength and use in {{wp|insect fighting}}, which explains its {{t|Fighting}} type.

Mega Heracross appears to be based on a {{wp|Hercules beetle}}.

====Name origin====
Heracross and Heracros may be a combination of ''{{wp|Hercules beetle}}'' (species of rhinoceros beetle named after the hero in the classical Greco-Roman mythology for its great strength), Ἡρακλῆς ''{{wp|Heracles|Hēraklēs}}'' (divine hero in Greek mythology who lent his name to his {{wp|Hercules|Roman mythological analogue}}), and ''cross''.

'''Talonflame''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ファイアロー''' ''Fiarrow'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Fletchinder}} starting at [[level]] 35. It is the final form of {{p|Fletchling}}.

Along with {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Decidueye}}, Talonflame is one of the [[List of the player's first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] available through the Unite Licenses in [[Pokémon UNITE]] as of version 1.12.1.2.

==Biology==
Talonflame is an avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that closely resembles a falcon. Red-orange plumage covers its head, wings, and most of its chest and back before tapering off into a flame pattern. Its underside and hindquarters are gray and the tips of its long, pointed wings are black. Orange spots speckle its underside. Large yellow talons extend from the shaggy feathers on its legs. Talonflame has a pointed crest atop its head and black-and-yellow mask-like markings around its eyes. Its black beak is hooked with a yellow {{wp|Beak#Cere|cere}}. It also has long black tailfeathers marked with three yellow V-shapes. The tail ends in two points and has another feather sticking out of the base on each side, resembling of the {{wp|fletching}} on the end of an arrow.

Talonflame feeds on other bird Pokémon, such as {{p|Wingull}} and {{p|Pikipek}}. It hunts by diving and attacking its prey with kicks before grasping them with its talons, ensuring they have no time to escape from it. When it dives, it can reach speeds of 310 miles per hour (500 kilometers per hour). It is powerful enough to be able to fly while carrying prey weighing more than 220 lbs (100 kg). It showers embers from the gaps in its feathers as it soars through the sky in order to intimidate its foes. Its wings are fireproof and have been used to make firefighter outfits in the past.

Talonflame and its pre-Evolutions are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Gale Wings}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Talonflame evolves from {{p|Fletchinder}} and is the final form of {{p|Fletchling}}.

==Trivia==
{{bulbanews|Pokémon Developer Round-table News}}
* Talonflame is the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to be confirmed to have more than five katakana characters in its Japanese name.
* Talonflame is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 499.
** In [[Generation V]], {{p|Seismitoad}} also had a base stat total of 499.
* Prior to the introduction of {{p|Fletchinder}} on the release date of {{g|X and Y}}, it was stated on the official [[Pokémon.com|Pokémon website]] that Talonflame evolves from {{p|Fletchling}}.
*Talonflame has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Talonflame seems to be based on the {{wp|peregrine falcon}}, with some traits that may have been inspired by other {{wp|birds of prey}} like the {{wp|red kite}} and {{wp|goshawk}}, with remnants of the {{wp|Japanese robin}}s and {{wp|waxwing}}s that its pre-evolved forms may have been based on. Its {{t|Fire}} typing might also be based on records of certain birds of prey (colloquially addressed as "fire hawks") like {{wp|whistling kite}}s purposefully starting fires to take advantage of the fleeing prey. Talonflame may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|firebird (Slavic folklore)|firebird}}, a fiery-colored, falcon-like bird from {{wp|Slavic paganism|Slavic mythology}}. Its tail and Japanese name suggest it is also based on an arrow.

====Name origin====
Talonflame may be a combination of ''talon'' and ''inflame''.

Fiarrow may be a combination of ファイア ''fire'', アロー ''arrow'', and possibly ''sparrow'' (as in {{wp|sparrowhawk}}).

'''Pinsir''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイロス''' ''Kailios'') is a {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Pinsir can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Pinsir''' using the [[Pinsirite]].

==Biology==
[[File:Bandai Pinsir card.jpg|thumb|left|180px|The flexibility of Pinsir's horns]]
Pinsir is a bipedal, {{wp|Coleoptera|coleopteran}} {{wp|insectoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a wide, dull-brown body divided into segments by thin lines. On top of its head is a large pair of gray, spiky pincers on top of its head. In its mouth are many long, flat teeth arranged horizontally, and it has triangular eyes. Capable of seeing color to some degree, Pinsir appears to be attracted to the color green. Its legs are short and thick, while its arms are long and thin. It has three claws on each hand and foot; two of its toes face forward and one backward.

Pinsir can use its pincers to crush, toss, bludgeon, or tear opponents, lift things twice its weight, and shatter logs. Captured prey is kept in place by the piercing thorns and sheer strength of Pinsir's horns and will not be released until they are torn in half. Pinsir's horns are quite flexible as depicted in the [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards]] where they have a wide range of motion. In addition to hunting prey, it's shown in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]'' that it enjoys tree sap. Pinsir lives deep in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests and jungles}}, where it burrows underground or hides in the treetops on nights cold enough to render it immobile. In {{g|Sleep}}, Pinsir burrows itself into the ground to sleep during cold nights but its pincers can be seen sticking out of the ground as it slumbers. In [[Alola]], it has a rivalry with {{p|Vikavolt}} and gets along with {{p|Heracross}}. Pinsir are known to judge each other based on their pincers. The pincers determine its popularity with the opposite gender based on how more thick and impressive it looks.

===Forms===
Pinsir can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Pinsir.

As Mega Pinsir, it gains a large pair of clear, yellow wings with an area of orange {{wp|Insect wing#Venation|venation}} near the base. Additionally, a set of brown {{wp|elytron|elytra}} appear. Slicing through each elytron is a pair of orange blades. Its arms become longer, and it has a T-shaped spike on each forearm. The pincers on its head are now longer with larger spikes, and its eyes are now yellow.

When it Mega Evolves, Pinsir is left in a constant state of excitement. It rarely touches the ground due to its ability to now fly. Mega Pinsir can travel up to approximately 30 mph (50 km/h) and uses its two large horns to pierce its enemies before shredding them. Mega Pinsir can lift opponents up to 10 times heavier than itself with its horns and still fly around easily.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Stadium 2}}: Pinsir stars in a mini-game alongside {{p|Scyther}} called "Clear Cut Challenge." Each player chops a falling log for each round of the game. The score for each player is determined by how close the player is to the white line on the log. Cuts anywhere above the log will cause the player to lose points.

[[File:M19 Mega Pinsir.png|thumb|250px|[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Pinsir in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'']]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Goh's Pinsir]]=====
In ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'', [[Goh]] caught a Pinsir. It has a timid personality.

=====Other=====
[[Samurai]] has a Pinsir that debuted in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'' during a {{pkmn|battle}} with {{Ash}}. It easily defeated {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, but lost to his {{AP|Metapod}}.

In ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]'', multiple Pinsir were driven into a forest that was the territory of multiple {{p|Heracross}} because {{TRT}} was stealing the sap from the trees and thus the food supply in their territory.

In ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', {{OBP|Anthony|AG122}} used a Pinsir and {{p|Swalot}} during the [[Contest Battle|Battle Round]] of the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. They went up against [[May's Combusken]] and {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}}.

In ''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch]]'', [[Howie]] used a Pinsir in a battle against Ash and {{AP|Corphish}} during a bogus competition created by [[Team Rocket]] agents [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]].

In ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'', multiple Pinsir served as {{an|Florges}}'s minions. They were ordered to attack {{AP|Goodra}}'s homeland and its friends. They have since made further appearances in {{aniseries|XY}}.

Pinsir appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}. The corresponding Spirit Battle is set on {{sbw|Garden of Hope}} against four {{sbw|Ridley}}s who favor their side special. The only items that spawn are {{sbw|Beetle}}s, likely in reference to Pinsir's origins.

==Trivia==
* Pinsir can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Scyther}}. Both are {{type|Bug}} {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}. Pinsir is exclusive to {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|LeafGreen|s}}, {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pearl|s}}, {{LGPE|Let's Go, Eevee!}}, and [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Shining Pearl]], while Scyther is exclusive to Red, FireRed, Diamond, Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Brilliant Diamond.
** Pinsir can also be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Heracross}}. Both are Bug-type Pokémon based on beetles and lack an [[evolution]]ary line. Pinsir is not part {{t|Fighting}} like Heracross, but it learns several Fighting-type moves by leveling up. Excluding the [[Friend Safari]], both Pokémon and their [[Mega Stone]]s are version exclusives in {{pkmn|X and Y}}: Pinsir and [[Pinsirite]] are exclusive to X while Heracross and [[Heracronite]] are exclusive to Y. Each Mega Stone can be found in [[Santalune Forest]] in its respective version. The heights of both Pokémon are the same, even when Mega Evolved. The Pokémon are also version exclusives in the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]]. Pinsir can be found on the [[Isle of Armor]] if playing Sword, whereas Heracross can be found in its place when playing Shield. Both of their Japanese names end in the same two characters, ロス ''rosu''.
* Pinsir shares its category with {{p|Vikavolt}}. They are both known as the Stag Beetle Pokémon.
* In X and Y, Mega Pinsir has the same [[List of Pokémon by shape|shape]] as when it is not Mega Evolved.
* Pinsir's attraction to the color green may be a reference to how it is exclusive to {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Green}}. This is similar to {{p|Scyther}}'s depiction in the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'' where Scyther becomes enraged at the sight of the color red, with Scyther likewise being exclusive to {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Red}}.

===Origin===
Pinsir seems to be based on a {{wp|stag beetle}}, possibly ''{{wp|Prosopocoilus inclinatus}}'', a species commonly used in {{wp|insect fighting}}. Its thorn-like {{wp|Mandible (insect mouthpart)|mandibles}} most closely resemble that of ''{{wp|Lucanus maculifemoratus}} hopei'', whereas its Mega Evolved form's diagonal spikes resemble ''Calcodes versicolor''.

====Name origin====
Pinsir is a corruption of ''pincer'', referring to its horns.

Kailios may be a combination of the Greek letter ''{{wp|Chi (letter)|Χ}}'' (カイ ''kai''), 刈 ''kai'' (shear), 魁偉 ''kaii'' (brawny), ''cross'' (referring to its {{m|X-Scissor|scissor-like horns}}), and κοριός ''korios'' ({{wp|Greek language|Greek}} for ''bug'').

'''Dragonite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイリュー''' ''Kairyu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dragonair}} starting at [[level]] 55. It is the final form of {{p|Dratini}}.

Dragonite can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Dragonite''' using the [[Dragoninite]]. Mega Dragonite was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

It is referred to as a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] by fans.

==Biology==
[[File:Dragon Fossil Adventures.png|thumb|left|230px|The skeleton of a Dragonite in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Dragonite is a {{wp|dragon|draconic}}, bipedal {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with light orange skin. It has large, grayish-green eyes and a round snout with small nostrils. A pair of long, thin antennae sprout from the top of its head with a small horn set between them. Its striated underbelly is cream-colored and extends from its neck to the tip of its long, tapering tail. It has thick arms and legs ending in three claws each. The leg joints are well defined, while its arms have a smooth, rounded appearance. Dragonite's wings are small relative to its body with teal wing membranes. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Dragonite is known to sleep soundly while displaying its belly.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> This rare sight is said to be an exhausted Dragonite resting after flying over the vast seas.

Despite its bulky build, Dragonite is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound, being able to circle the globe in sixteen hours. A kind-hearted Pokémon with human-like intelligence, Dragonite shows signs of altruism: it is said to save humans from drowning and lead lost or foundering ships to safety. As demonstrated in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', however, it will go on an uncontrollable, destructive rampage if its environment is threatened. Dragonite will usually calm down and be satisfied after smashing down anything that has angered it to smithereens. It is known to engage in fierce battles with {{p|Kingdra}} whenever they meet. Dragonite has been referred to as the "sea guardian" and the "Sea Incarnate"; as such, there are many ships with figureheads decorated with Dragonite's look. [[Drayden]] stated in ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'' that Dragonite's power is capable of affecting the weather. In [[Fiore]], Dragonite used by {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s to travel to different areas in the region, this flying service is called the ''Dragonite Bus''. Dragonite is very rare in the wild, typically {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|living near the sea}}. Some claim that there is [[Dragonite Island|an island]] somewhere in the ocean that only Dragonite inhabit.

In [[Generation II]], Dragonite and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Outrage}}, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Dragonite pearl Hyper Beam.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Dragonite firing a {{m|Hyper Beam}} from the pearl near the tip of its tail]]
Dragonite can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Dragonite.

As Mega Dragonite, it gains features that are distinctive of {{p|Dragonair}}. Dragonite's antennae grows into large feathery wings on its head, which are light tan in color with white tips. These head wings function as feelers, while also allowing Mega Dragonite to fly.<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-dragonite Mega Dragonite | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Conversely, the wings on its back have shrunk and become purely teal. Feathery wing-like structures also sprout from Mega Dragonite's shoulders and legs. Mega Dragonite's tail is longer and has a multi-colored pearl near the tip; this pearl glows when Mega Dragonite performs certain attacks. Mega Dragonite's horn is white and now located on its forehead, and it has teal-green eyes. Its cream-colored underbelly no longer extends to its tail, and the numerous straight lines segmenting it are replaced with only five V-shaped ones.

Mega Dragonite's speed and strength have increased significantly from its regular form, but the process of Mega Evolution has also deluged its kindness and helpful nature. Its merciful nature makes it prefer to end matches quickly, smiling as it attacks its opponents with powerful techniques. Likewise, it will rush to help someone it senses to be in trouble, even while it is {{pkmn|battle|battling}}.<ref name=ZAsite/> As seen in the {{aniseries|HZ}} episode ''[[HZ107|Friends as Two, Me and You]]'', Mega Dragonite can fire moves like {{m|Hyper Beam}} from the pearl near the tip of its tail. According to the [[Mega Nidothing's Mega Mega! Mega Evolution]] short in ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]'', Mega Dragonite possesses the power to blast through [[mountain]]s, causing significant destruction in the process.

====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''Dragonite are known for their helpfulness toward people at sea, searching for drowning sailors or leading lost ships back to shore. This is probably why so many are quick to praise Dragonite for their kindness! In battle, though, Dragonite uses its strong body combined with quick moves. Don't worry - win or lose, it'll be friendly when the battle is over.''

'''PAL:''' ''A benevolent Pokémon said to search the ocean for drowning swimmers and guide damaged ships to shore. Because of this, many people venerate Dragonite as a guardian of the sea. In battle, on the other hand, it's a fearsome foe, soaring rapidly through the air to deliver incredible attacks. Let's be thankful it's usually friendly.''

* In {{v2|Yellow}}, Dragonite's [[catch rate]] was changed from 45 to 9, even though Dragonite couldn't be found in the wild. In all later games, its catch rate was changed back to 45.
* {{p|Kingdra}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword}} mentions Dragonite, which was unavailable prior to the release of the second expansion of the game, [[The Crown Tundra]].
* {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} is the only species owned by one of {{ashfr|Ash's friends}} that {{Ash}} himself would [[Ash's Dragonite|later catch]].
* Dragonite and {{p|Salamence}} have the highest base stat total of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon (excluding [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Legendary Pokémon]]).

* Dragonite, {{p|Beedrill}}, and {{p|Lucario}} (into Mega Lucario Z) are the only Pokémon to lower one of their base attacking stats when they undergo Mega Evolution.

===Cultural impact===
The design of Dragonite has been compared by Chinese Pokémon fans to the {{wp|Moomins}}, a Finnish story series. The phrase 快龍就是嚕嚕米 ''Kuailong jiùshì Lǔlǔmǐ'' (lit. "Dragonite is Moomins") is a meme among Chinese fans, and was even shown on the side of the {{wp|Taipei 101}} during the 2023-24 New Year's Countdown in Taiwan.<ref>(January 3, 2024). "[https://tech.udn.com/tech/story/123154/7680001 影／寶可夢快龍獲「台灣最高認證」！台北101外牆1句話讓網笑翻：新年就被臭]." 科技玩家 (Tech.UDN.com)</ref>

===Origin===
Dragonite's benevolent behavior and its description as the "guardian of the sea" may suggest inspiration from {{wp|Chinese dragon|Chinese}} and {{wp|Japanese dragon}}s being portrayed as auspicious creatures with their power to control over water and weather. Its yellow coloration may allude to the ''{{wp|Yellow Dragon}}'', commonly portrayed as the fifth symbol among the {{wp|Four Symbols|Four Auspicious Beast}} in Chinese mythology. Its wings may be a reference to the ''{{wp|Yinglong}}'', a type of dragon in Chinese mythology that is commonly described to be winged.

Physically, Dragonite resembles a classic {{wp|European dragon}}, but its design also parallels giant monsters from {{wp|kaijū}} films.

Mega Dragonite's design incorporates features from its pre-Evolution {{p|Dragonair}}, namely the head wings and the pearl on its tail.<ref name=ZAsite/> Its Shiny coloration also resembles Dragonair's standard colors. Its design may also invoke {{wp|angel}}s — the six wings Mega Dragonite gains upon Mega Evolving may reference the {{wp|seraph}}, a type of angel described in the Christian Bible to have six wings, with two wings covering its face and two wings covering its feet.

====Name origin====
Dragonite may be a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and ''{{wp|knight}}'', ''night'', or ''draconite'' (a mythical stone said to be found in the heads of dragons and are pyramidal in shape, similar to Dragonite's horn).

Kairyu may be derived from 海竜 ''kairyū'' (sea dragon). It may also involve 怪獣 ''kaijū'' (monster), 快 ''kai'' (cheerful), and 破壊 ''hakai'' (destruction).

'''Butterfree''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バタフリー''' ''Butterfree'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Metapod}} starting at [[level]] 10. It is the final form of {{p|Caterpie}}.

Butterfree can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Butterfree''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}.

==Biology==
Butterfree is a {{wp|lepidoptera|lepidopteran}} {{wp|insect}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which resembles a vaguely anthropomorphic {{wp|butterfly}} with a purple body. Unlike true insects, it only has two body segments and four light blue legs. The upper pair of its legs resembles small, three-fingered hands, while the lower pair resembles long, digit-less feet. Butterfree has two black antennae, a light blue snout with two fangs underneath, and large, red compound eyes. Its two pairs of wings are white with black {{wp|Insect wing#Venation|venation}}. Two oval scales on a female Butterfree's lower wings are black, but they are white on a male.

The wings of Butterfree are coated with poisonous scales that easily fall off continuously as it flies. If inhaled, it results in several status conditions. Using this powder, it will defend {{p|Caterpie}} from bird Pokémon. This powder also repels water, enabling it to fly and gather honey even in the rain. Butterfree can use its sensitive antenna to detect the odors of blooming flowers six miles (ten kilometers) from its nest in search of nectar, which it carries with the hairs of its legs. Sometimes, it has territorial disputes with {{p|Cutiefly}} over fields of flowers. It also consumes sap from trees pierced by {{p|Heracross}}, as seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]''. Butterfree is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests and jungles}}, but it is also observed in the episode ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'' flying near the ocean as part of its migratory breeding pattern. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Butterfree is known to sleep while flapping its wings. It tends to accidentally scatter highly toxic dust while sleeping.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Forms===
Butterfree has a [[Gigantamax]] Form.

As Gigantamax Butterfree, its wings become shades of bright and dark green with a white pattern. A fur-like circle attaches to Gigantamax Butterfree's back at the base of the wings. Its antennae also become bright green and extend to the point where the tip bends, and three red clouds surround them. Its eyes glow bright red. Several green scales, created from crystallized Gigantamax energy, can be seen floating around Gigantamax Butterfree. These are its most effective weapons, capable of causing paralysis, poisoning, or sleep. Gigantamax Butterfree scatters these scales by the winds that it generates with each flap of its wings; these winds are powerful enough to lift a 10-ton truck.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-butterfree/ Gigantamax Butterfree | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Gigantamax Butterfree is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Befuddle}}.

==Trivia==

* Butterfree was the first Pokémon shown in {{aniseries|PTS}} with an alternate color, [[Pink Butterfree|pink]] in its case. This has only been seen in a single female, and unlike a {{Shiny}} Butterfree, which has green eyes and pink wings, limbs, and snout, this Butterfree only differed in its pink body and wings.
* Butterfree shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Beautifly}}. They are both known as the Butterfly Pokémon.
* Butterfree can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Beedrill}}. Both of their unevolved stages [[Evolution|evolve]] at level 7 and again at level 10. They both go through metamorphosis-like Evolution and have the same base stat total of 395. Also, while Beedrill is [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|exclusive]] to {{game|Black and White|s|Black}} and {{B2W2|Black 2}}, Butterfree is exclusive to White and White 2. Both also have an alternate form only available in-battle ([[Gigantamax]] Butterfree and [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Beedrill, respectively).
* In Butterfree's artwork for {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed and LeafGreen}}, a line was missing from one of its lower wings; this would eventually be fixed with the release of {{game|X and Y|s|X and Y}}.

===Origin===
Butterfree seems to be based on the {{wp|Aporia crataegi|black-veined white}} {{wp|butterfly}}.

Butterfree's parallels to {{p|Beedrill}} could possibly be a reference to the phrase "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee", which was coined by American boxer {{wp|Muhammad Ali}}. This is further backed by the phrase being used in two episodes<ref>''[[AG061|Disaster of Disguise]]'' and [[BW106|Strong Strategy Steals the Show!]]</ref> of the English [[dub]] of the [[Pokémon animated series]] as "floating like a Butterfree and stinging like a Beedrill".

====Name origin====
Butterfree may be a combination of ''butterfly'' and ''free''. It may also involve パタパタ ''patapata'' (the sound of wings flapping) and 振る ''furu'' (to flap).

'''Shedinja''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌケニン''' ''Nukenin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It is considered a special [[Evolution]] of {{p|Nincada}}, appearing only when Nincada evolves into {{p|Ninjask}} starting at [[level]] 20, if the player has an empty slot in their [[party]] and an extra {{i|Poké Ball}} on hand.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

==Biology==
Shedinja is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a cicada's shed exoskeleton. Most of its body is light brown, but the abdomen is gray. It has four protrusions on its underside instead of legs; the top pair is brown, while the lower is gray. There are round protrusions on the side of its head with narrow slits for eyes. Two lines encircle its abdomen and a white crescent-shaped halo floats above its head. On its back is a pair of tattered wings divided into three wingtips. A hole between its wings reveals that its body is completely hollow and dark, as it possesses no internal organs.

Shedinja is said to be a very strange and peculiar Pokémon due to how it is created from an empty shell. It has the ability to inhabit an empty [[Poké Ball]] after it evolves from {{p|Nincada}}. It is said that looking into this empty space will steal one's spirit. Its shell is very hard, which grants it {{a|Wonder Guard|strong defense}} but renders it incapable of movement. It does not breathe and floats without moving its wings. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical and temperate forests}}.

Shedinja is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Wonder Guard}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
When {{p|Nincada}} evolves into {{p|Ninjask}}, it can also evolve into Shedinja simultaneously, which appears in an empty {{i|Poké Ball}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

Shedinja can also be damaged by {{m|Struggle}} and any of the [[Shadow move]]s from [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{Pokémon XD}}. The moves {{m|Beat Up}}, {{m|Future Sight}}, and {{m|Doom Desire}} could hit Shedinja prior to [[Generation V]] due to dealing [[typeless]] damage.

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], the [[regular attack]] will do 1 HP damage to Shedinja, or have no effect in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}. Foe Shedinja always have a maximum of 5 HP, or 10 HP in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]]. However, as a team member, Shedinja's HP is not capped.

Shedinja is available in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}} and {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.

In {{g|GO}}, Shedinja can be obtained by completing the [[Special Research]], ''Level 43 Challenge''. Shedinja cannot be used in {{OBP|Trainer Battle|GO}}s, but it can be used in [[Team GO Rocket]] battles.

===Evolution data===
Shedinja is considered a special Evolution of {{p|Nincada}}, appearing only when Nincada [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Ninjask}} starting at [[level]] 20, if the player has an empty slot in their [[party]] and an extra {{i|Poké Ball}} on hand. Note that the Poké Ball has to be a regular Poké Ball. In [[Generation III]], an extra Poké Ball is not necessary to obtain Shedinja.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, Shedinja will not be mentioned when evolving Nincada, but will subsequently appear in {{p|Chimecho}}'s Assembly.

==In animation==
[[File:Goh Shedinja.png|thumb|250px|Shedinja in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
===Major appearances===
Shedinja debuted in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', under the ownership of [[Colonel Hansen]]. It was his main battling Pokémon. It reappeared in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', where it was eventually defeated by a {{m|Flamethrower}} attack from [[Misty's Gyarados]].

In ''[[JN091|The Spectral Express!]]'', a {{pkmn2|wild}} Ninjask left behind a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Shedinja}} upon evolving. The Shedinja entered one of [[Goh]]'s empty {{i|Poké Ball}}s, becoming his Pokémon.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind!]]'' and ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'', a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Shedinja competed in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. Another Shedinja was also in a visualization in the former episode.

A Coordinator's Shedinja appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]''.

In ''[[XY077|A Relay in the Sky!]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Shedinja participated in the [[Pokémon Sky Relay]]. It was in a team also consisting of {{p|Vibrava}} and {{p|Ninjask}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Amber Shedinja Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Shedinja in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Shedinja first appeared in ''[[PS246|Can I Ninjask You a Question?]]'', when {{adv|Amber}}, having been deprived of his Pokémon after being abandoned by [[Archie]], borrowed a Nincada from his comrade [[Shelly]], which then immediately evolves into a {{p|Ninjask}}, putting [[Wattson]] in quite a pinch with the incredible speed it gained by the minute. Although the old Gym Leader eventually managed to defeat it, a Shedinja formed from the shell Ninjask shed and attacked him from behind, sending him sinking into the ocean.

In ''[[PS311|A Dust-Up With Dusclops]]'', {{adv|Emerald}} used a Shedinja during his [[Battle Pyramid]] challenge, exploiting the fact that it required no healing due to it always having just one HP to save on items.

In ''[[PS317|Sneaky Like Shedinja]]'', [[Greta]] used a Shedinja to battle [[Emerald's Sudowoodo]].

A student's Shedinja appeared in ''[[PS530|Movie Panic]]''.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Shedinja appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}. In the Spirit Battle, Shedinja, depicted as a yellow Mr. Game & Watch, has only 1 HP like in the core series games, but Wonder Guard is depicted as giving Shedinja complete invincibility for 90% of the match, as well as reflecting all projectiles. However, the invincibility is disabled periodically for about a second, allowing the player to KO Shedinja with just one hit.

==Trivia==
* From [[Generation IV]] onwards, a basic {{i|Poké Ball}} (a requirement for Evolution) is removed from the [[Bag]] upon Evolution to produce a Shedinja. In [[Generation III]], Shedinja instead copied the ball Nincada was in; this is one of only two legitimate ways to obtain Shedinja in a non-standard Poké Ball until [[Generation VIII]], where Shedinja can be caught in [[Max Raid Battle]]s or transferred from [[Pokémon GO]].
** The other option is to catch a Nincada in {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold or SoulSilver|s}} via the [[Bug Catching Contest]] in a [[Sport Ball]] and evolve it in {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Diamond, Pearl|s}}, or {{v2|Platinum}}. Because the Sport Ball is not coded to exist in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, it copies the Ball to the Shedinja without reassigning it to have a basic Poké Ball. This effect would also apply to [[Apricorn]] Balls (which are also considered "out-of-bounds" by these games), but in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Nincada is only obtainable in the wild from the Bug Catching Contest, in which only Sport Balls can be used.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Shedinja.
* Shedinja:
** has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
** has the lowest base stat total of any fully evolved [[Bug (type)|Bug-type]] Pokémon.
** is tied with {{p|Duskull}}, {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Yamask}}, and {{p|Greavard}} for the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
** is tied with {{p|Dreepy}} for the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* Shedinja is the only evolved Pokémon that has a lower base stat total than its {{p|Nincada|pre-evolved form}}.
* Shedinja is exclusively part of the [[Mineral (Egg Group)|Mineral]] [[Egg Group]], but its pre-Evolution is exclusively part of the [[Bug (Egg Group)|Bug]] Egg Group. These two are the only Pokémon related by Evolution to not share identical Egg Groups, excluding those that transition in or out of the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} Egg Group.
** However, because it is [[gender unknown]], it cannot breed with Pokémon other than {{p|Ditto}}.
* Shedinja inherits the same [[game of origin]], [[personality value]], {{IV}}s, {{EV}}s, [[original Trainer|OT]], [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID number and Secret ID number]], and met location as the Nincada it evolves from. It also inherits [[Pokérus]] if the Nincada had it. Among other things, due to keeping the same game of origin, personality value, and Trainer and Secret ID numbers, Shedinja will be Shiny if and only if the Nincada was {{Shiny}}.
* Shedinja is the only [[gender unknown]] Pokémon to have evolutionary relatives that are not gender unknown. This technically makes Nincada one of two Pokémon able to change [[gender]] upon Evolution, the other being {{p|Azurill}} prior to [[Generation VI]].
* In most games, Shedinja evolved from a Nincada has no [[nickname]] and the player is not prompted to nickname it, meaning the only way to give Shedinja a nickname is to take it to a [[Name Rater]]. However, in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Shedinja will have the same nickname as the Nincada it evolved from.
* In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], due to the game having no [[wild Pokémon]], the only way to completely fill the [[Pokémon Storage System]] is to [[trade]] for multiple Nincada and evolve them to produce Shedinja.
* Shedinja's {{a|Wonder Guard}} Ability renders it immune to 13 of 18 move types, the most of any Pokémon; four of these immunities (to {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Fairy}}) are entirely unique to Shedinja.
** Even if it is affected by {{m|Foresight}} or {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, or if the opposing Pokémon has {{a|Scrappy}} or {{a|Mind's Eye}}, Shedinja is still immune to {{t|Normal}} and {{type|Fighting}} moves.
* Prior to [[Generation V]], if Nincada learns a move upon evolving into {{p|Ninjask}}, Shedinja will also know this move. This means that Shedinja can learn any of Ninjask's level up moves starting at level 20, but can only simultaneously have multiple of them if they are learned at the same level. From Generation V onward, Shedinja starts with the moves Nincada knew prior to Evolution.
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] that is able to change its name.
* In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], wild Shedinja will spawn on any tile where a wild Nincada was defeated after several turns have passed. They move once every two turns and do not attack. Additionally, other wild Pokémon will try to attack the wild Shedinja if they are nearby, allowing them to [[Seed#Empowerment Seed|awaken]] without defeating the player or their allies if they succeed in causing it to faint.
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 236.
* Shedinja's barrier in Max Raid Battles requires the most hits to break, with 8. However, because it still faints in one hit and is immune to {{m|False Swipe}} and {{m|Hold Back}}, breaking the barrier is impossible.
* In [[Pokémon GO]], Shedinja and {{p|Ditto}} are the only Pokémon that cannot be used in [[Trainer Battle (GO)|Trainer Battles]].
* Despite Shedinja's HP being its lowest stat, Shedinja awards HP EVs.

===1 HP trivia===
Shedinja has the lowest HP of all Pokémon, with only 1. As such, it has many unique characteristics:

* Excluding [[Starmobile]]s, Shedinja is the only Pokémon to have a stat not calculated by the [[Statistic#Generation III onward|standard formula]]; if it were, Shedinja would have at least 11 HP even at [[level]] 1.
** Shedinja can gain HP {{EV}}s, but they will have no effect.
* Having only 1 HP, Shedinja's {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats normally have no practical purpose in battle. However, if Shedinja receives a {{OBP|substitute|doll}} through {{m|Baton Pass}} or {{m|Shed Tail}}, its Defense and Special Defense are factored into damage the substitute takes. Shedinja's Defense and Special Defense stats also become relevant if a Pokémon uses {{m|Transform}} on it or if Shedinja uses {{m|Power Trick}} or {{m|Body Press}} (both via {{m|Mimic}}), or if an opponent has {{a|Download}}.
* From [[Generation IV]] onward, Shedinja is the only Pokémon that can knock itself out from full health with the recoil damage from {{m|Struggle}}.
* Outside of battle, Shedinja immediately recovers from {{status|poison}} after four steps in [[Generation IV]]; in [[Generation III]], it will immediately faint after four steps.
* Despite it being able to learn {{m|Substitute}}, {{m|Bide}}, and {{m|Rest}}, they will always fail; consequently, the only way Shedinja can have a substitute is via {{m|Baton Pass}} or {{m|Shed Tail}}.
** It can also have {{m|Final Gambit}} from one of {{p|Nincada}}'s [[Egg Move]]s, but it will only do 1 HP damage, due to Final Gambit doing damage equal to the user's current HP.
* Although Shedinja can learn {{m|Sandstorm}}, it cannot normally use the move without fainting as a result of damage from the {{weather|sandstorm}}. Use of [[Safety Goggles]] allows this to be circumvented.
* If Shedinja uses {{m|Pain Split}} (via Mimic), it will cut the target's current HP in half, similarly to {{m|Super Fang}}, {{m|Nature's Madness}}, and {{m|Ruination}}.
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon that has its HP restored to maximum when leveled up with a [[Rare Candy]] (prior to [[Generation VI]]) or revived with a [[Revive]].
* From [[Generation V]] onward, if a Shedinja has {{a|Sturdy}}, it can survive any damaging move or {{status|confusion}} damage an indefinite number of times.
* If a Shedinja is holding a [[Focus Sash]], it can survive any single damaging hit (including {{status|confusion}} damage) and remain at full HP.
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon that can never recover HP using an {{cat|HP-draining moves|HP-draining move}}.
* Although Shedinja can eat [[Dynamax Candy|Dynamax Candies]], its HP will remain at 1 regardless when it [[Dynamax]]es. This makes it the only Pokémon that doesn't get an HP boost when it Dynamaxes.
* {{m|Eruption}}, {{m|Water Spout}}, or {{m|Dragon Energy}} used by Shedinja via Mimic will always have 150 base power, while {{m|Flail}} from Nincada's Egg Moves and {{m|Reversal}} via Mimic will always have 20 base power, due to Shedinja always having full HP.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Nincada, Ninjask and Shedinja}}
Shedinja appears to be based on the {{wp|Exuviae|shed husk}} that {{wp|cicada}}s leave behind when they finish their {{wp|metamorphosis}} into adults. It also appears to be a reference to the fabled ninjutsu technique 空蝉 ''utsusemi'', where a {{wp|ninja}} uses a dummy or replica of themselves to evade and escape from threats, and where its namesake also alludes to the cast off shed husk of a cicada. It may also be based on a {{wp|guardian angel}} due to the {{wp|halo (religious iconography)|halo}}-like object floating above its head and its {{a|Wonder Guard}} [[Ability]].

====Name origin====
Shedinja may be a combination of ''shed'' (to cast off shell) and ''ninja''.

Nukenin may be a combination of 抜け殻 ''nukegara'' (empty shell) and 忍者 ''ninja'', as well as a pun on 抜け忍 ''nukenin'' (fugitive ninja).

'''Parasect''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パラセクト''' ''Parasect'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Paras}} starting at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
Parasect is a red-orange, {{wp|insect|insectoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has been completely overtaken by the parasitic mushroom on its back. It has a small head with pure white eyes and a segmented body that is mostly hidden by the mushroom. It has three pairs of legs with the foremost pair forming large pincers. The fungus growing on its back has a large red cap with yellow spots throughout.

The insect has been drained of nutrients and is now under the control of the fully-grown [[tochukaso]]. Removing the mushroom will cause Parasect to stop moving. It can thrive in dark {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}} with a suitable amount of humidity for growing fungi. Swarms of this Pokémon have been known to infest trees. The swarm will drain the tree of nutrients until it dies and will then move on to a new tree. It has been known to fight with {{p|Shiinotic}} over territory. Prior to [[Generation III]], {{m|Spore}} was its [[signature move]].

===Evolution===
Parasect evolves from {{p|Paras}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

{{main|Parasect (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Paras and Parasect with Dry Skin are the only Pokémon that can naturally take more than double damage from a move based on its type without the use of {{M|Forest's Curse}}.
* Parasect's [[Pokédex]] entry for [[Pokémon Stadium]] connects the [[Pokémon world]] with [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|the real world]], noting that its spores are sometimes used as medicine in {{wp|China}}.
* In [[Generation I]], {{type|Poison}} attacks were super effective against Bug-type Pokémon, making Parasect and Paras the only Pokémon to have ever had three 4× weaknesses.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[Egg Group]] combination as Parasect and its pre-Evolution.
** Parasect and its pre-Evolution are also the only {{type|Bug}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Grass}}.
* Paras and Parasect share their species name with {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Breloom}}, {{p|Foongus}} and {{p|Amoonguss}}. They are all known as the Mushroom Pokémon.
** All six Pokémon also share a common [[move]], {{m|Spore}}; and [[Ability]], {{a|Effect Spore}}.
** In [[Pokémon GO]], they all give more [[Stardust (GO)|Stardust]] than most other Pokémon upon capture.
* In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], Parasect's Japanese [[Pokédex entry]] was mistakenly left as the same entry from [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]] & [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon LeafGreen]]. This was the only instance in the [[Generation IV]] [[Sinnoh]] games of a Pokédex entry being [[Pokédex entry recycling|recycled]] from a previous game's entry.
** Because of this, the Japanese entry was retranslated differently from the previous wording in other languages.
* Parasect can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Shiinotic}}. Both share the {{t|Grass}} type, the same base stat total of 405, evolve at Level 24, both are mushroom-based Pokémon and thus can learn {{m|Spore}}, and both appeared as trial Pokémon of the [[Lush Jungle]] in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] depending on the game version, with Parasect being found in Pokémon Sun and Shiinotic in Pokémon Moon.
* {{p|Paras}} and Parasect are the first in the trend of odd-numbered generations introducing Pokémon that appear to be based on fungi, followed by the {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Foongus}}, {{p|Morelull}}, and {{p|Toedscool}} lines, as well as {{p|Brute Bonnet}}.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Paras and Parasect}}
Parasect resembles a {{wp|cicada}} {{wp|Nymph (biology)|nymph}}. It may also be based on an {{wp|Cryptolithodes sitchensis|umbrella crab}}, with a {{wp|mushroom}} for a carapace. In concept, it could be inspired by ants that are infected with mushroom spores that take control of the host ant's brain and sprout from its head or back.

The fungus on Parasect is identified as [[tochukaso]]. ''Tochukaso'' is the Japanese name of the real-world fungus ''{{wp|Ophiocordyceps sinensis}}'', an {{wp|Parasitoid|endoparasitoid}} that replaces the host tissue and can affect its behavior. It may also draw inspiration from ''{{wp|Massospora}}'', a genus of fungi which include species that specifically infect cicadas.

====Name origin====
Parasect may be a combination of ''{{wp|parasitism|parasite}}'' and ''{{wp|insect}}''.

'''Garchomp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ガブリアス''' ''Gaburias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gabite}} starting at [[level]] 48. It is the final form of {{p|Gible}}.

Garchomp can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into two forms:
*'''Mega Garchomp''' using the [[Garchompite]].
*'''Mega Garchomp Z''' using the [[Garchompite Z]].
It is referred to as a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] by fans.

==Biology==
[[File:Ash Garchomp.png|thumb|left|250px|Garchomp flying]]
Garchomp is a bipedal, draconian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is primarily dark blue in color. It has red on its underbelly from the lower jaw to the middle of the abdomen, including the undersides of its arms. A patch of gold comes to a point below the red on its belly, and a golden star shape adorns the tip of its snout. Garchomp has horn-like appendages that resemble a {{wp|jet}} or {{wp|plane}}'s engines, giving it an appearance similar to that of a {{wp|hammerhead shark}}. Its large mouth features razor-sharp teeth. Its feet have three white talons, and both of its arms have a large, white claw for a hand, as well as curved fins for flight. Garchomp also has a large dorsal fin and another on its tail that resembles a {{wp|shark}} {{wp|Caudal fin|tailfin}}. The [[Gender|male]]'s dorsal fin [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|has a notch on it]]. Pairs of small, white spikes protrude from its upper arms and legs, and there are gill-like slits on the sides of the neck. Its eyes are intense, with black {{wp|sclera}}e and gold-colored irises.

When Garchomp folds up its body and extends its wings, it resembles a jet plane. It can fly as fast as a jet fighter and is capable of reaching sonic speeds to catch its {{pkmn|predation|prey}}, which it will never allow to escape. It is also fast underground, and it is said that when it runs, its wings generate wind blades that cut down nearby trees. The fine scales on Garchomp's body reduce wind resistance for easier flight, and their sharp edges also serve to {{a|Rough Skin|injure}} opponents who attack it directly. It hunts down as much prey as it can, and is known to eat entire flocks of bird Pokémon. Garchomp sometimes {{pkmn|battle}}s {{p|Salamence}} in the air as they compete for food. The protuberances on its head act as sensors, allowing it to detect prey from afar. Garchomp lives in volcanic mountain ranges, and after finding its meal, it returns to its den before its body cools down from being outside. It is described as having a feral nature, requiring extreme caution if encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}}.

In [[Generation IX]], Garchomp and its pre-[[Evolution|evolved]] forms are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Rough Skin}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Garchomp can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Garchomp or Mega Garchomp Z.

====Mega Garchomp====
[[File:Mega Garchomp Flying.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Mega Garchomp flying in the air]]
When Garchomp Mega Evolves, several of its features become more angular, including its head and shoulders. A row of five tooth-like spikes sprouts from each side of its abdomen and red spikes grow from its knees. Its dorsal fin always has a notch on it, regardless of gender. The claws and fins on its arms melt from the excessive Mega Evolution energy and morph together to form sharp, red blades.

The increased energy of Mega Evolution turns Mega Garchomp's arms into blades.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Garchomp Mega Garchomp | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Garchomp archived])</ref> Because it takes great pride in its winglike fins, it is enraged at the sight of them melting into weapons. As a result, it is much more violent after Mega Evolving. Mega Garchomp viciously tears up the ground and its opponents to pieces with its scythes. While mostly seen grounded, it retains its ability to fly.

====Mega Garchomp Z====
Mega Garchomp Z resembles a regular Garchomp but gains a distinct purple, jet-like appearance. Its horn-like appendages feature a blood orange circle at the center, with jet-wing style fins on each side. It loses all its spikes except for one on each upper leg. The three talons are a dark purple color. There are dark yellow lines above each foot and in front of the shark-like tail fin, whose upper fin is longer, while the tail fin's end is white. Its dorsal fin does not have a notch on it, regardless of gender. The chest is also blood orange, with several V-shaped, continuous lines beneath the chest color in dark yellow, blood orange, and dark purple. The wing-like fins have become longer, with blood orange at the bottom and five tooth-like spikes at the front of each fin.

Mega Garchomp Z is said to maintain a calm and composed personality. Unlike its base form and Mega Garchomp, it constantly hovers above the ground, looking down on its opponents from the air with a sharp gaze. This is a result of its {{type|Dragon}} energy having grown more powerful, which also causes its Dragon-type [[move]]s to become stronger and gain more agility and momentum when they're used during flight. The wings on its arms have expanded, enabling greater lift. These wings are lined with large, sharp, and sinister claws that rend opponents even more aggressively than the scythe-shaped wings of Mega Garchomp, capable of shredding targets with a gouging motion as it flies at Mach speed. Additionally, there are small wings on both sides of its head that enhance its flight performance. Mega Garchomp Z is characterized by a fighting style that maximizes its speed, surpassing any Mega Garchomp discovered so far.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/dlc Mega Garchomp Z | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_z-a_dlc/ja/pokemon/260227_01/ メガガブリアスＺ｜『Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A M次元ラッシュ』公式サイト (Mega Garchomp Z | "Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A M-Dimension Rush" Official Website)]</ref>

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
[[File:Company Icon Mach Motors.png|thumb|150px|Logo of Mach Motors]]
*These notable Trainers all use Garchomp:
** [[Cynthia]]'s main partner is a [[Cynthia's Garchomp|Garchomp]], using her in all battles against the player (except battle facilities), and is frequently seen in multiple media. She may appear in the [[Alola]] [[Battle Tree]] where she can [[Mega Evolve]]. She debuted in {{g|Diamond and Pearl}}, reappearing in {{g|Platinum}}, [[Generation V]], and both [[Alola]]-based [[Generation VII]] titles.
** [[Lance]] uses a Garchomp in a rematch in {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}.
** [[Clair]] is seen to have a Garchomp in all battles in {{B2W2}}
** In [[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Black 2]] exclusively, [[Benga]] will use a Garchomp against the player as they make their way through [[Black Tower]].
** In the Type Expert and World Leaders Tournament of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], [[Giovanni]] will use a Garchomp.
** Starting in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, [[Wally]] uses a Garchomp in at the [[Battle Resort]]. It reappears in [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] where it could [[Mega Evolve]].
** [[Ryuki]] uses a Garchomp in both {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. It appears in all fights against him.
** In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, [[Volo]] has a Garchomp during his third battle against the player atop the [[Temple of Sinnoh]]. It is presumably seen as a {{p|Gible}} during his other two battles with the player. This Garchomp is a parallel to Cynthia's own Garchomp. He is never seen as {{p|Gabite}}.
** [[Lebanne]] uses a Garchomp in all matches with and against the player during {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.
* The company logo for [[Poké Job|Mach Motors]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}} depicts a stylized Garchomp head.
* In the Pokémon Research Lab in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, [[Professor Sycamore]] is seen next to a Garchomp. This is possibly a reference to [[Pokémon the Series: XY]], where he had a Garchomp who could [[Mega Evolve]]. In other parts of the building, diagrams of Mega Garchomp also appear.
* During [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|Main Mission 37: "Operation Protect Lumiose"]] a [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega Garchomp]] is fought on [[Vert Street]] at the climax of Legends: Z-A.

====In the spin-off games====
*[[Cynthia's Garchomp]] appears as an opponent in {{g|Unite}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Early Garchomp FrontSprite Platinum.png|thumb|200px|Garchomp's prototype sprite from Platinum]]
* Garchomp was designed by [[Takao Unno]].<ref>Creator profile on Takao Unno in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Illustration Collection]], p. 182: "He has created the designs for Garchomp, Croagunk, Arceus and others." ([https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1581735619637948416 archive])</ref>
* Although the Garchomp in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] and [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond|its sequel]] has no notch on his fin, he is referred to as [[Gender|male]].
* In an early Japanese trailer for {{game|Platinum}}, a [[Pokémon Platinum beta#Sprites|prototype front sprite]] is seen that is different from the final sprite.
* Garchomp is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon to have [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]].
* Garchomp (into Mega Garchomp Z) and {{p|Aggron}} are the only dual-[[type]] Pokémon to become single-type upon [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]].
* Garchomp is the only [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] with two Mega Evolutions.
* Mega Garchomp Z has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.
* Mega Garchomp Z was the last Mega Evolution to be revealed and released for [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]].

===Origin===
Garchomp appears to combine traits of dinosaurian {{wp|kaiju}}s, {{wp|wyvern}}s, {{wp|aircraft}}s, and different species of {{wp|shark}}s. It may also reference [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LandShark land sharks], a recurring creature in fantasy settings. Garchomp also shares traits with various species of sharks, noticeably the {{wp|hammerhead shark}}. Its {{t|Ground}} type might also be a reference to {{wp|Carcharhiniformes|ground sharks}} or {{wp|sand shark}}s. It may also be based on {{wp|Therapoda|theropod}} dinosaurs, particularly the ''{{wp|Carcharodontosaurus}}'', whose teeth are often compared to the great white shark's due to similar serrations and sharpness. Garchomp's aircraft traits may allude to {{wp|Curtiss P-40 Warhawk}} fighters. These models popularized shark-themed {{wp|nose art}}s on aircraft and were often referred to as "desert sharks". Mega Garchomp Z greatly emphasizes these aircraft designs, with its larger wing fins and extra wings on its head for faster flight speed.

Mega Garchomp's skull-like head and scythe-like arms may be based on traits of typical {{wp|Grim Reaper}} depictions.

====Name origin====
Garchomp may be a combination of its Japanese name, ''carcharias'' (Latinization of καρχαρίας ''karkharías'', Greek for shark), ''chomp'', and possibly ''gargantuan''.

Gaburias may be a combination of がぶり ''gaburi'' (with a big bite) and ''carcharias'' or アース ''āsu'' (earth).

'''Flygon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フライゴン''' ''Flygon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

==Biology==
Flygon is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a slightly insectoid, bipedal {{wp|dragon}}. It is primarily light green and has a pair of large rhombus-shaped wings with red trim, toeless hind legs, and skinny arms with three-clawed hands. Flygon's tail has several dark green stripes and three small green rhombus shapes with red trims at the end. It has large eyes and a pair of green antennae that point back. Its eyes have red covers that prevent sand from getting into them.

With its wings, it kicks up sandstorms to hide itself. Its wings make a "singing" sound when they are flapped, earning Flygon the name "The Desert Spirit". It uses this unique ability to attract prey, stranding them before it attacks. Flygon lives in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|desert}}, and it typically works together with {{p|Krookodile}} in searching for food, whipping up sandstorms for Krookodile to hide in as they hunt, then splitting the prey that they manage to catch. As mentioned in [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], a person can hear the beautiful sounds emitted from the very faint movement of its wings, should one listen very carefully. There are four different sleep styles it sleeps in: "Curled-Up Sleep", "Flutter Sleep", "Tummy-Up Sleep", and "Atop-Belly Sleep".

===Evolution===
Flygon evolves from {{p|Vibrava}} and is the final form of {{p|Trapinch}}.

==Trivia==
* Flygon shares its {{pkmn|category|categories}} with {{p|Xatu}}. They are both known as the Mystic Pokémon in English and the Spirit Pokémon in Japanese.
* Flygon has the same base {{stat|Attack}} stat as its base form Trapinch.
** Despite this, each of Flygon's [[base stats]] are exactly 30 points greater than those of its pre-evolved form.
* Flygon's [[Effort values|effort value]] [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|yield]] of 1 Attack and 2 Speed is unique.
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in his interview in the April 2015 issue of Nintendo Dream magazine, Flygon was intended to get a [[Mega Evolution]] in [[Pokémon X and Y]], but the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Pokémon designs|idea was later dropped]] due to him experiencing an artist's block.<ref>[https://www.pokebeach.com/2015/04/mega-flygon-excluded-from-xyoras-because-of-artists-block Mega Flygon Excluded from XY/ORAS Because of Artist's Block, PokeBeach,] translation of Nintendo Dream interview scan</ref>
* As of [[Generation VIII]], Flygon and its evolutionary relatives are the only Pokémon that are in the {{egg|Bug}} and {{egg|Dragon}} [[Egg Group]]s.
* Flygon and its pre-Evolution are the only {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon in the Bug Egg Group.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Trapinch, Vibrava and Flygon}}
Flygon appears to be based on the winged, adult stage of the {{wp|antlion}}. Oftentimes, the adult antlion and {{wp|dragonfly}} are confused with one another, and Flygon could draw inspiration from both. In fact, some species of dragonflies are commonly called "sand dragons", which could account for Vibrava and Flygon's type combination. In keeping with its {{t|Dragon}} type, it also possesses a dragon-like build and reptilian features such as its arms and tail, resembling a {{wp|European dragon}} overall. Its goggle-like lenses hiding a small eye could be inspired by {{wp|mantis|mantids}} and similar insects, which have large {{wp|compound eye}}s with {{wp|pseudopupil}}s - commonly mistaken for a true {{wp|pupil}}. Its tapered antennae bear some resemblance to the back-curved horns of certain {{wp|Antilopini|antelopes}} and may reference the {{wp|Shadhavar}}, a medieval Muslim desert spirit described as resembling an antelope or gazelle that, in some accounts, lures prey with music from its flute-like horn. The singing sound which this Pokémon produces and its connection to sand could be inspired by {{wp|singing sand}}.

====Name origin====
Flygon may be a combination of ''fly'' and ''dragon'', or an inversion of ''{{wp|dragonfly}}''.

'''Cubone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラカラ''' ''Karakara'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Marowak}} starting at [[level]] 28.

In [[Alola]], Cubone evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Marowak}} when leveled up at [[Time-based Evolution|night]] starting at level 28.

==Biology==
Cubone is a small, bipedal, {{wp|dinosaur}}-like {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a light brown hide that covers most of its body, except for its cream-colored belly. Two small claws, one on each hand, serve as its thumbs, and one large nail on each foot make up its toes. It has two small spikes on its back and a short tail. On its head, Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother as a helmet. Because of this, much of its actual face has never been seen, except for its triangular, black (sometimes green or blue) eyes and a small area surrounding them, and in its [[Bandai Namco]] card a bit of its mouth, where it has a pair of a few sharp teeth and a long pink tongue. The skull has two rounded horns on the top of its head and a tooth-like point on the lower sides. Under the skull, Cubone has a brown snout. This small Pokémon survives only through the immense skill it possesses in wielding the bone it carries as a weapon.

It is called the {{pkmn|category|Lonely Pokémon}} because of its tendency to keep to itself and avoid social situations, due to the trauma caused by the death of its {{p|Marowak}} mother. Cubone is said to have lost its mother shortly after being born. Cubone will often weep at night in mourning of its mother. When Cubone cries, the skull that it wears on its head vibrates and emits "a plaintive and mournful sound." On the night of a full moon, the cries are said to be especially terrible. Cubone seems to recognize a likeness of its mother in the full moon, and so it howls with a particular sadness. Its cries attract {{p|Mandibuzz}}, its natural predator, who uses this Pokémon's bones to decorate itself and its nest. It is said a Cubone will evolve into a {{p|Marowak}} once it comes to terms with the pain of its mother's death. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Cubone is known to cry while sleeping.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> It is theorized that Cubone's dreams are about its deceased mother. The dreams Cubone have make it cry, but crying makes it stronger. Cubone lives in rocky areas, usually on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}} or in caves. It also once inhabited the Pokémon Tower in [[Lavender Town]] where deceased Pokémon were buried and mourned. One such Cubone's mother is shown as a ghost there.

Cubone and its evolved form, {{p|Marowak}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Bone Club}} and {{m|Bonemerang}}. Cubone and Marowak are also the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Thick Club]] item. In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}}, {{m|Bone Rush}} was another one of their signature moves.

===Evolution===
Cubone evolves into {{p|Marowak}}.

In [[Alola]], it evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} Marowak.

===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]]: An orphaned Cubone appears in the care of [[Mr. Fuji]]. It lost its mother, a {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}}, while she was defending her charge from [[Team Rocket]].
* [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]: The same orphaned Cubone plays an expanded role in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, where it is kidnapped by [[Archer]] after wandering from [[Lavender Town]]. After being rescued by the {{player}} from [[Team Rocket Hideout]], it returns to [[Pokémon Tower]], where it helps the player and {{ga|Trace}} calm his mother's spirit. Trace later adopts Cubone into his [[party]], motivating himself to become stronger to stop Team Rocket and avenge Marowak. Cubone later [[Evolution|evolves]] under Trace's ownership.

==Trivia==

[[File:Bandai Cubone card.jpg|thumb|200px|Cubone's face partially revealed]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Cubone was originally known as "Orphon", a corruption of the word "orphan", based on its abandonment at birth.
* Cubone is [[Midori Harada]]'s favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Cubone is one of the Pokémon that appears in the [[Pokémon 151]] clothing line.
* Cubone is the only Pokémon that can [[Evolution|evolve]] into a dual-[[type]] Pokémon that doesn't share any types with its Evolution.
* A [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards|Japanese trading card]], which features Cubone using the move {{m|Growl}}, partially reveals Cubone's face.
* While {{rf|Alolan}} Marowak shares the {{a|Rock Head}} [[Ability]] with Cubone, Cubone is unable to retain this Ability after evolving in the [[Alola]] [[region]]. This is because Cubone's Rock Head is its first Ability, while Alolan Marowak's Rock Head is its Hidden Ability. It shares this trait with {{p|Tyrogue}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}'s Ability {{a|Steadfast}}.
* In the [[PO02|second episode]] of [[Pokémon Origins]], a mother Marowak is shown protecting her child Cubone from [[Team Rocket]]. Even though the Marowak is alive, the Cubone is still wearing a skull.
* Despite the Pokédex saying that Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother, Cubone are born wearing the skull when hatched from [[Pokémon Egg|Eggs]].
* In ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook|The Official Pokémon Handbook: Deluxe Edition]]'', there is no mention of Cubone wearing the skull of its mother. Instead, this is said in Cubone's Pokédex entry from this book: ''"Cubone uses the bones of ancient Pokémon to make armor and crude weapons."''

===Origin===
Cubone was created out of the thought of how sad it would be for a Pokémon to die.<ref>Satoshi Tajiri: "There's also Cubone, who was born from the thought of how sad it would be for a Pokémon to die. The bone Cubone holds is actually the bone of its dead mother. Cubone treasures it." [http://lavacutcontent.com/satoshi-tajiri-1997-interview/ Translation: Satoshi Tajiri Cuts Loose (1997 Interview)]</ref> In its design, it is reptilian in nature and seems to be loosely based on bipedal {{wp|dinosaur}}s. It also could be based on primitive cultures that wore bones for decoration and used them for weapons. The use of its bone {{m|Bonemerang|as a boomerang and as a weapon at the same time}} seems to be a reference to the {{wp|boomerang}}'s original use for hunting in {{wp|Indigenous Australians|Indigenous Australian}} cultures.

====Name origin====
Cubone is a combination of ''cub'' and ''bone''.<ref name=MonsterKids>Dockery, Daniel (October 4, 2022). ''[[Monster Kids: How Pokémon Taught a Generation to Catch Them All]]''. Running Press. p. 33. ISBN 978-0762479504.</ref>

Karakara may be derived from カラカラ ''karakara'' (onomatopoeia for light clattering), contrasting with the ガラガラ ''garagara'' (onomatopoeia for heavy clattering) in {{p|Marowak}}'s Japanese name.

'''Delibird''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デリバード''' ''Delibird'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Iron Bundle}} is said to be a future relative of Delibird or a version of it from a parallel timeline.

==Biology==
Delibird is a red, {{wp|Aves|avian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a white, hollow, and bag-like tail. Its face and chest are covered in white feathers with two, three-pointed crests above its eyes. Black markings surround its circular eyes, and it has a light yellow beak and feet. There is a single white spot on its stomach. Its feet have two digits each.

Delibird is omnivorous and carries collected food bundled up in its tail, which it is frequently seen holding or tucking under its arm. It normally gives this stored food to its chicks, although it is generous enough to also share its food with other Pokémon and even humans, especially those lost or stranded in the mountains. Due to its omnivorous nature, however, it will sometimes offer bug Pokémon for these humans to eat. If attacked, it will also retaliate by throwing its food at the opponent. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Delibird is known to sleep while occasionally reaching inside its tail to pull something out.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> Prior to [[Generation IX]], Delibird was the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Present}} by leveling up. Present allows it to carry special items in its tail that may cause damage or heal its opponent. In a flock, the Delibird with the largest tail is its leader. Delibird tends to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous regions}}, making its nests over sharp cliffs; notably around Mt. Everest. {{p|Iron Bundle}} shares a resemblance to Delibird and is believed to be a Delibird-based machine built by an ancient civilization.

Delibird and its Paradox Pokémon counterpart, {{p|Iron Bundle}} are the only Pokémon capable of learning the move [[Present]] by leveling up.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: Delibird stars in its own mini-game called "Delibird's Delivery." In this game, players collect presents from one side of the field to the other. The player must avoid {{p|Swinub}} that scurry around or they will trip the Delibird and cause the player to lose the present they were carrying.
* [[Pokémon Channel]]: Delibird is the delivery boy for the "Shop 'n {{p|Squirtle}}."

==In animation==
[[File:Team Rocket Delibird.png|thumb|250px|Delibird in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Delibird (Team Rocket)]]====
Delibird made its animated series debut in ''[[EP231|Dues and Don'ts]]'', where one was affiliated with an [[Rocket Scout|elderly talent scout]] from [[Team Rocket]]. Since that episode, the {{pkmn|category|Delivery Pokémon}} kept following [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} to collect money that the three of them owe. Eventually, Delibird was unable to tail the [[Team Rocket trio]] ever since they moved to the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], but has still made several appearances in later [[series]].

====Other====
Delibird debuted in ''[[PK08|Delibird's Dilemma]]'', under the ownership of [[Santa Claus]]. [[Ash's Totodile]] shot it clear out of the sky with a {{m|Water Gun}}-propelled snowball while it was delivering presents. As a result, {{AP|Pikachu}} and his friends had to help the Delivery Pokémon find the five presents before midnight.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]'', a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Delibird competed in the {{to|Celestic}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

Multiple Delibird appeared in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

Three {{pkmn|Trainer}}s' Delibird appeared in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]''.

In ''[[SM133|Battling on the Wing!]]'', a Trainer's Delibird watched the {{pkmn|battle}}s during the [[Manalo Conference]].

A Delibird appeared in ''[[HZ060|Roy and Fuecoco's First Snow!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP231|Delibird|Ash's Pokédex|Delibird, the Delivery Pokémon. Delibird's most unique [[Move|attack]] is {{m|Present|giving presents}}. However, some of these presents have been known to explode. Sometimes, Delibird's presents can actually restore energy to its opponents.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Johto}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Masked Man Delibird.png|thumb|200px|Delibird in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
In ''[[PS103|You Ain't Nothin' but a Houndour]]'', a Delibird attacked {{adv|Gold}} under the command of the [[Masked Man]]. It is one of his most commonly used Pokémon. It appears to be the same Pokémon used by him in his alias, and was strong enough that it allowed him to capture {{p|Ho-Oh}}. However, Gold was able to knock it out with [[Polibo]]'s {{m|Perish Song}}.

[[Pryce]] owns a Delibird that first appeared with him in his Gym in ''[[PS143|Irked Igglybuff and Curmudgeonly Cleffa]]''. It is likely to be the same Delibird used by his alias.

===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
In ''[[PS387|Striking Out Snover]]'', a wild Delibird was near [[Snowpoint City]], being cared for by [[Candice]].

===Pokémon: Yeah! I Got Pokémon!===
A Delibird appeared in [[GDZ67]], under the ownership of a {{OBP|monk|GDZ}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Delibird is one of the few Pokémon who can learn TM moves when it learns fewer than four moves by leveling up.
* Delibird has {{a|Insomnia}} as its [[Hidden Ability]] although it already has access to {{a|Vital Spirit}}, another Ability with exactly the same in-battle effect.
* Starting in {{game|Emerald}}, both of Delibird's regular Abilities have the same field effect, which is also shared by {{a|Pressure}}.

===Origin===
Aspects of Delibird's appearance appear to come from the {{wp|rockhopper penguin}}. However, its red-and-white color scheme, its ability to give presents, and the appearance of carrying its sack-like tail may have been derived from {{wp|Santa Claus}} (which is further supported by it being associated with the month of December in various events and it being one of Santa Claus's Pokémon in {{aniseries|PTS}}) and possibly the {{wp|white stork}}.

====Name origin====
Delibird may be a combination of ''delivery'' and ''bird''. ''Deli'' may have derived from the {{wp|Adélie penguin}}. Pronouncing ''Delibird'' with the same inflection as ''delivered'' yields a very similar pronunciation, with the "b" and "v" being the only variation between the two words. As the "v" sound does not exist in the Japanese language, it is commonly pronounced as a "b" sound by Japanese speakers.

'''Smeargle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドーブル''' ''Doble'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Smeargle is best known for its [[signature move]] {{m|Sketch}}, which permanently copies the last move used by the opponent (with a few exceptions), thus allowing Smeargle to learn almost any move.

A form of Smeargle called '''Decorator''' appears exclusively in [[Pokémon Pokopia]] (as a character named [[Smearguru]]).

==Biology==
[[File:Jack Pollockson Smeargle.png|thumb|left|220px|Smeargle with various tail colors]]
[[File:Sugimori Smeargle AG.jpg|thumb|left|250px|{{aniseries|AG}} reference sheet]]
Smeargle is a bipedal, {{wp|beagle}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with white and brown fur. It has a long tail with an end resembling a paintbrush. The tail tip oozes with a mysterious paint-like fluid, and although the color of the paint is predetermined for each individual Smeargle, it may otherwise vary; a Smeargle's paint hue may also change in intensity with its emotional state. Smeargle has a footprint on its back that is typically the same color as the paint on the tip of its tail, though Smeargle can have separate back and tail colors in {{g|Stadium 2}}. The mark is placed on Smeargle's back as a sign of adulthood. Smeargle also has a round structure on its head with a point that resembles a {{wp|beret}}. It has floppy, brown ears and a brown collar on its neck. The rings encircling Smeargle's eyes are also brown, as are Smeargle's eyelids. Its arms have two brown bands, and its legs have only one. Each of its limbs has three digits.

Smeargle's in-game appearances in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} as well as [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] all depict it with red paint on its back and tail while its {{Shiny}} coloration is depicted with green; the inverse is true in the [[Generation III]] [[core series]] games and in every game from [[Generation IV]] onwards. Pokémon Stadium 2 and the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP197|The Art of Pokémon]]'' both depict Smeargle that have blue back and tail colors, with the animated series episode also depicting Smeargle that have yellow back and tail colors. Its Shiny coloration in Stadium 2 can also be seen with teal, orange, or indigo paint on its back and tail.

Smeargle uses its paint to mark its territory. There are over 5,000 known different marks that Smeargle uses, and paintings of certain symbols are highly valued by Smeargle fanatics, who will pay large sums to own them. It can also use its [[signature move]], {{m|Sketch}}, to copy moves from other Pokémon. Smeargle is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Sketch. Smeargle is often found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}} filled with graffiti.

===Forms===
A particular Smeargle, named [[Smearguru]], has a unique spin-off form called Decorator.

This Smeargle has several red, blue, green, and yellow paint stains across their body. Two small strokes of paint are just below their nose, appearing much like a moustache. Its tail-paintbrush has a much larger end compared to a regular Smeargle, and is also multiple colors instead of just one.

Smearguru can notably use its multicolored bodily fluids to create a variety of colors, rather than just a single color like a regular Smeargle. It dreams of one day painting the landscape of its birthplace. Smearguru's passion for art and painting is so strong that it easily inspires others to create their own artwork. Additionally, Smearguru can use its paint to customize various objects, blocks, or houses.

* Smeargle will know the same moves as the Pokémon it photobombed, if possible.
** If the Pokémon knows two Charged Attacks, Smeargle will learn the one in the first slot.
** If that Pokémon knows a move Smeargle cannot learn, Smeargle will have a random move instead.
* Smeargle cannot learn a second Charged Attack, even if the photobombed Pokémon has one.

=== [[Pokémon Channel]] ===

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Smeargle appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}. The Spirit Battle is against a green {{sbw|Inkling}} who heavily uses their Inkbrush and takes place on {{sbw|WarioWare, Inc.}}, albeit without the microgames. {{sbw|Vince}} will spawn in to assist the Inkling.

==Trivia==
* Due to its [[signature move]] {{m|Sketch}}, Smeargle can legitimately know almost any [[move]], giving it a number of distinctions:
** Smeargle can pass down any [[Egg Move]] combination to any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{egg3|Field}}. This was important in Generations II to V, when only the father could pass down Egg Moves.
** {{m|Hidden Power}}-evaluating NPCs cannot identify the type of Smeargle's Hidden Power even if Smeargle possesses the move, due to being unable to use the TM for it.
** Prior to [[Generation IX]], Smeargle was able to sketch {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} and {{m|Dark Void}}, but the moves would always fail when used by Pokémon other than {{p|Hoopa}} {{form|Hoopa|Unbound}} and (starting in {{g|Sun and Moon}}) {{p|Darkrai}}, respectively.
* Smeargle is the only Pokémon capable of learning the same move by leveling up more than four times—some Pokémon have the same move available at level 1 as well as by leveling up, while Smeargle has the same move available ten times as it levels up.
* In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] mission "Smeargle's Desperate Plea", even though the Smeargle refuses to have a paw painted onto its back, the paw print is nonetheless present on its sprite.
* In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], the paint on Smeargle's back and tail is red in its normal coloration and green in its shiny coloration, which how it was depicted in the [[Generation II]] [[Core series|core series]] games despite the inverse being the case in the [[Generation III]] core series games at the time of their release.
* In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Smeargle can have either red, green or blue back and tail paint colors and its {{Shiny}} coloration can have either teal, indigo or orange back and tail paint colors respectively, determined by a combination of its [[Stat#Speed|Speed]], [[Stat#Defense|Defense]], [[Stat#Special|Special]] and [[Stat#Attack|Attack]] [[Individual values|DVs]].<ref>[https://bluemoonfalls.com/pages/general/stadium-hues#smeargle Stadium's Color Changing Pokémon - Blue Moon Falls]</ref>
** Uniquely, Pokémon Stadium 2 is the only game in which Smeargle is depicted with additional paint colors that aren't tied to its Shiny coloration. It is also the only instance of the paint on Smeargle's back and tail being shown as two separate colors.
* Because it's only ever capable of learning Sketch by level up, and being unable to learn any [[TM]] or [[HM]] move, Smeargle has both the smallest and the largest move pool out of any Pokémon.

===Origin===
Smeargle appears to be based on a {{wp|beagle}} and a {{wp|painter}}. Its tail is used as a {{wp|paintbrush}}, its head looks like it is wearing a {{wp|beret}}, a hat often associated with painters, and it has a {{wp|footprint}} stamped on its back which is a form of art.

====Name origin====
Smeargle may be a combination of ''smear'' and ''beagle''.

Doble may be a combination of ''dog'', ''daub'', ''doodle'', and ''double'' (referring to Smeargle's ability to copy moves).

'''Ditto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Ditto is well known for its unique ability to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] with any Pokémon other than the Pokémon in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} group and other Ditto, including some [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] Pokémon, to produce Eggs of the other's species.

{{OBP|Ditto|Pokopia}} is the main protagonist of [[Pokémon Pokopia]], spending most of the game in [[human]] form.

==Biology==
In its natural state, Ditto is a light-purple or pink blob-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with {{wp|Vestigiality|vestigial}} facial features. It is often referred to as amorphous, but has a relatively consistent appearance in official artwork, including two small nubs on its "head", a few soft lumps at its base, and two {{wp|Pseudopodia|pseudopod}}-like protrusions in place of arms. The face consists of beady eyes and a simple mouth; almost always pulled into a smile.

Ditto bears a variety of unusual and often entirely unique traits that set it apart from every other Pokémon. It is capable of [[Ditto transformations|transforming]] into an exact replica of any physical object or living creature, including its form and properties. Each Ditto has its own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to transforming; being unable to remain transformed while laughing and getting details of its transformation wrong if based on memory being apparently universal. The [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards]] depict Ditto being able to transform separate sections of its body into parts from multiple Pokémon at once. Similarly, in [[Pokémon Pokopia]], Ditto can transform parts of its body even while transformed as a [[human]], such as transforming its arms into {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s vines to use {{m|Leafage}}. In the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episodes ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'' and ''[[SM046|Deceiving Appearances!]]'', as well as in the [[Ditto (TCG)|TCG]] and some {{spin-off games}}, it is shown that occasionally Ditto cannot change its face during transformation; this trait has become synonymous with the species, despite being incongruous with their depiction in the [[core series]] games. While its transformation ability allows it to get along with almost anything, it does not get along with its own kind, which it will quickly (and generally fruitlessly) attempt to transform into.

While Ditto can transform into a [[human]], it cannot mimic human speech. It transforms into a rock when sleeping to avoid being attacked. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Ditto is known to sleep while still transformed into either a rock or Pokémon, the latter is noted to be a very rare occasion.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> In [[Blueberry Academy]], various [[Blueberry Quest|Ditto Blocks]]<ref name=DittoBlock>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/_images/news/dec_23/p10_03_en.jpg Screenshot from the SV website showing a quest with a Ditto Block.]</ref> can be found as objectives in [[Blueberry Quest]]s throughout the [[Terarium]], where Ditto will seemingly transform into one of the many cubes with rounded edges that make up many of the structures of the Terarium. Despite being milestones for the player to obtain, and not actually obtainable themselves, they can still be {{Shiny}}.<ref name=ShinyDittoBlock>[https://twitter.com/jflash727/status/1735463386895270079 A player finding a Shiny Ditto block in the Terarium.]</ref>

Ditto is never far from {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|civilization or people}}, and is the only Pokémon capable of using the [[Metal Powder]] and [[Quick Powder]] items. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Imposter}} as an [[Ability]].

Ditto first became available in {{g|GO}} on November 23, 2016, disguised as other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn2|wild}}. Players will only find out whether a Pokémon is a Ditto if successfully [[caught Pokémon|captured]], upon which a cutscene will show the Pokémon transforming back into Ditto.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/en/post/ditto/ Ditto has been discovered... - Pokémon GO]</ref> Ditto can be used in {{OBP|Gym|GO}} and {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s, in which it will Transform into the first Pokémon it sees; however Ditto cannot be used in {{OBP|Trainer Battle|GO}}s.

As of September 1, 2021, wild Ditto may be Shiny, and some Pokémon whose [[Shiny Pokémon (GO)|Shiny forms]] are available may transform into Ditto. If a player encounters a Shiny Pokémon in the wild, it cannot be a disguised Ditto, but non-Shiny Pokémon have a small chance of being a Shiny Ditto.<ref>[https://pokemongohub.net/post/guide/how-does-shiny-ditto-work-in-pokemon-go/ How Does Shiny Ditto Work in Pokémon GO? | Pokémon GO Hub]</ref>

As of December 11, 2023, wild Ditto may be disguised as any of the following species:<ref>(December 1, 2023). [https://pokemongolive.com/post/adamant-time-kanto-event/ Catch up in time for the Adamant Time event, and party up in a Kanto comeback!]</ref>

== In animation==
[[File:Ditto anime.png|250px|thumb|{{Shiny}} and normal-colored Ditto in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Duplica's Ditto]]====
[[Duplica]] has a Ditto that debuted in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', where they used to perform for people, only to lack an audience since people saw that Ditto could not change its face. Ditto fixed that problem near the end of the episode, when it was captured by {{TRT}}.

====Other====
In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} used a Ditto in a [[Full Battle]] against {{Ash}} at the [[Pummelo Stadium]]. It faced [[Ash's Pikachu]], but ended up losing after Pikachu used {{m|Agility}} and then slammed its tail down on Ditto.

Sometime before ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'', Duplica found another Ditto, which she [[nickname]]d Mini-Dit. This second Ditto could transform into an exact mirror image of anything, but it could not change its size.

In ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]'', a Ditto was [[Brodie]]'s partner-in-crime. It reappeared in the same role in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]''.

A Ditto appeared in [[PK15]].

In ''[[DP173|Dealing With A Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', [[Narissa]] used two Ditto nicknamed Ditto 1 and Ditto 2. Ditto 2 is {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in animation|Ditto 2|Shiny}}.

In ''[[SM046|Deceiving Appearances!]]'', five Ditto were getting vaccinated at [[Aether Paradise]]. One of them escaped but was soon rescued. One of them reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]''. All of them reappeared in ''[[SM096|Don't Ignore the Small Stufful!]]''.

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', [[Margo]] befriended a Ditto. It and a {{p|Teddiursa}} were targeted by [[Pokémon hunter]]s looking for {{OBP|Zeraora|M21}}, but they were saved by Zeraora, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}}, and his friends.

In ''[[JN019|A Talent for Imitation!]]'', a Ditto works as a film actor because {{m|Transform}} is unusually efficient for impersonations. Its latest role was in a movie directed by [[Kublock]], about {{p|Gardevoir}} twins, but it ran away due to Kublock's overly strict attitude and its increasing inability to use Transform as effectively. Ditto eventually ran into and befriended Team Rocket, who taught it how to overcome its nerves and regain its confidence. As a result, it returned to the set and production resumed without any further problems.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[EP122|Flower Power]]'', a Ditto was part of [[Florando]]'s annual [[Pokémon Exhibition]].

In a flashback in ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', a Ditto was at the [[Pokémon Nurse School]].

In ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]'', the [[Pokémon Trainers' School]] lent a Ditto to the school's underage students for use in lessons.

A Ditto appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

A Ditto appeared in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Ditto appeared in ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]''.

A Trainer's Ditto appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''.

In ''[[SM131|The Battlefield of Truth and Love!]]'', a Trainer's Ditto watched the {{pkmn|battle}}s of the [[Manalo Conference]]. It reappeared in ''[[SM133|Battling on the Wing!]]''.

In ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]'', {{an|Mew}} transformed into a Ditto during a fantasy while {{an|Professor Oak}} was teaching [[Goh]] and [[Chloe]].

In ''[[JN050|A Pinch of This, a Pinch of That!]]'', two Ditto were in the [[Wild Area]].

A Trainer's Ditto appeared in ''[[JN125|Whittle While You Work!]]''.

A Ditto appeared in ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]''.

A {{tc|Student}}'s Ditto appeared in ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]''.

In [[HZ118]], Liko and Ann found a {{Shiny}} Ditto, amongst multiple other Ditto that were transformed into Ditto Blocks.

===POKÉTOON ===
Multiple Ditto appeared in ''[[PT04|Wait for Me, Magikarp!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Duplica Ditto EToP.png|thumb|200px|Ditto in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu ===
{{main|Duplica's Ditto}}
[[Duplica]] and her Ditto appeared in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''. Finding Ditto appealing, {{an|Misty}} decided to capture one of her own, but the plan was called off when {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} went missing.

Ditto was also featured in a minicomic, in which it transformed into [[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]], harassed Misty, and thereby got Ash into a lot of pain.

Ditto was the first Pokémon {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} used against Ash in ''[[ET17|The Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader]]''.

===Magical Pokémon Journey===

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
{{main|Ditty}}
In ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]'', Ditto is one of the members on {{adv|Green}}'s team. As a master of transformation, Green uses Ditto extensively in her schemes, such as morphing over her face to disguise her appearance (like when she infiltrated the [[Silph Co.]] building disguised as [[Sabrina]]), camouflaging into its background for subterfuge, as well as forming a protective shield with Green's umbrella.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Ditto appeared in ''[[PS107|Gligar Glide]]'', where it was seen in the [[Goldenrod Game Corner]].

Ditto is seen later used by [[Team Rocket]] in ''[[PS127|Miltank Melee]]'', to lure {{adv|Crystal}} and [[Eusine]] away from {{p|Suicune}} and smother them when discovered. It was, however, defeated by Crystal's {{p|Hitmonchan}}, [[Monlee]].

===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} ====
A Ditto appeared in ''[[PS442|Out-Odding Oddish]]'', under the ownership of a [[Pokéathlon]] participant.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[File:Ditto Melee.png|thumb|Ditto in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]]]
Ditto was originally intended to be one of the Pokémon randomly released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}. It would have transformed into a copy of the user's character and aided them in battle. However, it was removed for unknown reasons before the game's release. Ditto can still be unlocked through the debug menu (which is only accessible through the use of Action Replay), though it does not do anything other than deal 7-8% damage to those who touch it.

As for its official status, Ditto only appears as a random trophy and as a cameo in the Tournament Mode menu. In Winner Out or Loser Out tournaments, holding down L and R and pressing A will give the player a random character and color for each match. The usual character image will instead be a picture of Ditto.

====Trophy information ====
''Every Ditto has the ability to copy a Pokémon's entire cell structure in an instant and become its exact replica. They're terrible at remembering techniques, but when they use {{m|Transform}}, they temporarily learn all of their foe's moves. If a Ditto starts to laugh, it weakens and can't hold its transformation.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
[[File:SSB Ditto.png|thumb|250px|Ditto in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]
Ditto appears as a Pokémon summoned from the {{i|Poké Ball}}, where it uses {{m|Transform}} to duplicate the shape of the summoning character while still maintaining its own color. It then attacks opposing fighters. Ditto also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}. The corresponding Spirit Battle is set on {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium|stage}} against a {{sbw|Kirby}} who favors Inhale, referencing Ditto's Transform. The aforementioned Poké Ball summon is the only item that spawns.

==Trivia ==
[[File:Spr 2d 188.png|thumb|Sprite of Animon from the 1997 demo]]
*Ditto has a scrapped Evolution in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|1997 Nintendo Space World demo]] of Pokémon Gold and Silver named アニモン ''Animon'', which evolves from Ditto using a [[Metal Coat]].
*Ditto is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 35. However, in Generations [[Generation III|III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]], if Ditto {{m|transform}}s into another Pokémon, its catch rate will become that of the new Pokémon. In [[Generation IX]], its catch rate will become 0 by mistake if the Pokémon is not the primary [[form]], [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender]] (for Pokémon with differing stats or movesets), or [[regional form]].
* Ditto and {{p|Manaphy}} are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed yet unobtainable through breeding.
* In [[Pokémon Snap]], Ditto takes the form of {{p|Bulbasaur}} in the {{OBP|Cave|Snap}} stage. The {{player}} can cause them to return to their Ditto form by hitting them with an object. When the player takes their picture, Ditto has the same eyes when it is transformed as when it is not. This trait is shared by [[Duplica]]'s Ditto in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', although it was understood that this was not natural. {{TCG|Ditto|Ditto cards}} from the {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} {{Trading Card Game}} expansion, the Clefairy Ditto that may appear in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]'s slot machines, and [[Howard Clifford]]'s Ditto in {{DetPikMov}} also have this trait.
*Ditto is one of two Pokémon to have two different species-specific [[Stat-enhancing item]]s associated with it, the other being {{p|Clamperl}}. Ditto's two associated items, the Metal Powder and Quick Powder, seem to be the same colors as Ditto's normal and {{Shiny}} forms, respectively.
*In [[Pokémon Rumble]], since {{m|Transform}} was not programmed into the game, Ditto can only know {{m|Struggle}}. Since PP does not exist in Rumble, this makes Ditto the only Pokémon in Rumble that can use Struggle. However, Transform does exist in [[Pokémon Rumble Blast]], so Ditto has a move from that game onward.
*Ditto is the most common Pokémon in [[Pokémon Trozei!]], appearing in every area. This is due to its ability to transform, enabling the player a way to advance further if no links are available before Ditto appears.
*Prior to [[Generation VI]], Ditto and {{p|Poliwag}} had the same [[cry]].
*Since Transform copies its target's stats (except HP), Ditto cannot utilize its Special Attack stat before Transforming, though it can use its Attack stat for {{m|Struggle}} and {{status|confusion}} damage.
* Since Ditto's only move, Transform, cannot copy moves in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series and has only one PP, its only move after transforming is Struggle.
**However, in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red/Blue Rescue Team]] and in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], a player-controlled Ditto can learn the TM moves {{m|Vacuum-Cut}} and {{m|Wide Slash}}.
**Since [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Ditto is able to get the moveset of the target Pokémon when it transforms.
*In Generation VI, Ditto is only given one move animation (despite the two animations minimum most Pokémon have for contact and non-contact moves).
*On October 4, 2017, [[The Pokémon Company]] posted a Ditto-themed music video onto their YouTube channel titled [[Dit-to Ditto]].
*In [[Pokémon GO]], Ditto appears in the wild disguised as other Pokémon. After being caught, it will reveal its true form. At one point, a large amount of Ditto were seen disguised as the then-unrevealed [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Meltan}}.
*In Pokémon GO, Ditto and {{p|Shedinja}} are the only Pokémon that cannot be used in [[Trainer Battle (GO)|Trainer Battles]], unless the battle is against [[Team GO Rocket]].
*Ditto is the only non-playable Pokémon that can be defeated in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].
*In {{g|Shuffle}}, Ditto was originally coded as a wildcard prior to its official release, allowing it to match with any other Pokémon icon - its effect from {{g|Battle Trozei}}. This was not a {{OBP|skill|Shuffle}} effect (as its skill was {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Swarm}}), but rather a quality specific to Ditto itself. Some players obtained Ditto illegitimately during this time, and used its effect to gain high scores in [[competitive stage]]s from September 2015 until Ditto's official release in 2017, when the skill was changed to Shuffle's version of {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Transform}}.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonShuffle/comments/3lyk41/explaining_the_significance_of_ditto_spoilers/ "Explaining the significance of Ditto" - MikoUK - Reddit]</ref>
* Ditto is the only [[Generation I]] Pokémon that does not have evolutionary relatives, an alternate form (such as a [[regional variant]], [[Gigantamax]] form, or [[Mega Evolution]]), or a strong association with another Pokémon that it does not share an evolutionary line with (like the [[Mew duo]]).
*Ditto has the most [[sleep style]]s of any Pokémon, with a total of 11.

===Glitches===
====Index 000 post-capture====
In [[Generation I]], if the player manages to capture an [['M (00)]], it will still be in battle with the player, and the battle will not end. Catching 'M (00) again results in the second one becoming a Ditto of the same level.

====Transform glitches====

===Origin ===
{{Bulbanews|Unused Pokémon design revealed in magazine interview}}
In the sixth issue of {{wp|Best Buy}}'s @Gamer magazine, Game Freak developers [[Junichi Masuda]] and [[Ken Sugimori]] revealed that Ditto was originally based on the iconic {{wp|smiley}} face. Its eyes and mouth are exactly like ":)", which is an emoticon representing the smiley.

Additionally, Ditto strongly resembles an ''{{wp|amoeba}}'', a single-celled organism with no definite shape. This may emphasize its ability to alter its cellular composition. This could also explain why Ditto is unavailable through breeding, since single-celled organisms reproduce differently from multi-cellular plants and animals. It also could partially be based on an {{wp|Cellular differentiation|undifferentiated cell}}, a cell in the body that can change into any other cell by sampling it. In addition, it could have been based on a {{wp|blob}} or {{wp|modeling clay}}.

Ditto's ability to change into other beings is reminiscent of a variety of mythical creatures like {{wp|changeling}}s, {{wp|doppelgänger}}s, or {{wp|skin-walker}}s.

====Name origin====
Ditto is literally ''ditto'' (that which was stated before; copy of a document; imitation).

Metamon may be a combination of ''metamorphose'' (to undergo a physical transformation) or ''meta-'' (prefix meaning "encompassing" or "transcending", which may refer to {{m|Transform}} allowing Ditto to take on the shape of every other Pokémon) and ''monster''.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Arceus has a [[#Form data|form]] for each of the eighteen [[type]]s, which it can [[Type change|change into]] while holding a [[Plate]] or a type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].

Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially acknowledged by [[Nintendo]] until February 14, 2009, the year of its [[M12|debut movie]]. It was later officially revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009.

Arceus is the creator of the [[Pokémon of myth]], the [[lake guardians]], and the entire [[Pokémon universe]]. Known as the '''Original One''' (Japanese: '''そのもの''' ''Sono mono'', "the very being") in [[Sinnoh myths]], it was worshiped in ancient times by the people of [[Hisui]] under the name '''almighty [[Sinnoh]]''' (Japanese: '''シンオウ{{Ruby|様|さま}}''' ''Sinn'ō-sama'').

{{ga|Arceus}} plays a [[game mascot|central role]] in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, serving as the game's titular character and a key figure in its storyline.

==Biology==
[[File:LA Arceus Realm.png|thumb|250px|left|Arceus in [[Dimension#Arceus's realm|its realm]]]]
Arceus is a white, equine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an androgynous appearance. It resembles a {{wp|qilin}} or {{wp|centaur}} with a gray, vertically striated underside. The striated pattern also appears on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes, red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, which points upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. Arceus also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen. The wheel also has four green jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly continues past its waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is similar to its mane in terms of shape and coloration. It is capable of flight.

[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|200px|right|Arceus recreating the {{pkmn|egg}} of one of the [[Pokémon of myth]] in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]]]
According to [[Sinnoh]] [[Sinnoh myths|mythology]], a single [[Pokémon Egg]] emerged from a vortex of complete chaos and nothingness predating the [[Pokémon universe]]. Arceus hatched from this egg and shaped the universe using its 1,000 arms, including the Sinnoh (then known as [[Hisui]]) and [[Ransei]] [[region]]s. It also created the eggs from which the [[Pokémon of myth]], {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, and the [[lake guardians]], {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}, hatched from, and can recreate these eggs if it wants to. It is the oldest Pokémon in existence; as such, it is referred to as "Original One" in folklore. Arceus banished Giratina to the [[Distortion World]] due to its violent nature, and gave the lake guardians the power to control and calm either Dialga or Palkia should they become enraged. Like the Pokémon of myth, {{ga|Arceus}} also resides in another dimension, a [[Dimension#Arceus' realm|realm beyond time and space]] itself. There, it appears as a silhouette of golden light.

Arceus was also shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of speech]], stating that "Arceus" is simply the name [[human]]s call it. The ancient Sinnoh people worshipped it, referring to it as "almighty Sinnoh," "great Sinnoh," and "might of Sinnoh," with the term "Sinnoh" later on becoming the name of the region. The [[Diamond Clan]] and [[Pearl Clan]] also worshipped it, though they mistook {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} respectively for Arceus. Both Palkia and Dialga's {{form|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina|Origin Formes}} have body shapes similar to that of Arceus; this resemblance is believed to be a strategy in order to gain Arceus' powers. [[Professor Laventon]] describes Arceus as "the heavenly fount from which pours the light that shines across Hisui" and the protector of all Pokémon. In ancient myths, it is said that the [[Origin Ore]], an ore of mysterious power, contains the power of Arceus itself.

As shown in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Arceus was known to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times, protecting the world from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion to those who treated it with kindness. At the same time, Arceus does not suffer fools gladly; it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived and holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In modern times, Arceus continues to watch over the world and wishes for people and Pokémon to work together in the face of adversity. Even when it is needed, it only gives hints on how to solve problems instead of directly interfering. Arceus can also give its blessing to other Pokémon through bolts of light, making them bigger and more powerful, as seen with the [[ancient hero]]'s 10 Pokémon companions. This blessing is passed down through family lines, as seen with the descendants of the hero's Pokémon: the [[noble Pokémon]] and {{hi|ride Pokémon}} worshiped by the people of [[Hisui]].

In ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'', Arceus is portrayed as having powers such as bringing back things that it once destroyed, making certain things vanish into thin air, halting time, and overturning the very laws of nature. In said movie, using its [[Earth Plate|Earth]], [[Splash Plate|Splash]], [[Meadow Plate|Meadow]], [[Zap Plate|Zap]], and [[Draco Plate|Draco Plates]], it created the [[Jewel of Life]], a powerful artifact capable of turning a [[Michina Town|desolate land]] into a rich and fertile one. In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', it was shown to be able to stop the destruction caused by a space-time void. As shown in the {{aniseries|JN}} episode ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', Arceus has the power to not only calm Dialga and Palkia, but also destroy the [[Red Chain]] controlling them. Arceus also has the power to split in two, creating a piece of itself to exist outside of its realm. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Arceus transformed a normal smartphone into an [[Arc Phone]], a device that allows humans to communicate with it through text messages. Arceus also has the power to appear in dreams and create a variety of Pokémon to serve as challenges, as seen in [[Eternal Battle Reverie]]. In {{g|Masters EX}}, through the [[sync stone ultimate]], Arceus can give its blessing to a [[Pokémon Trainer]] it deems worthy, transforming their outfits into costumes known as [[arc suit]]s. As a result, their [[sync pair]] is blessed as well, granting them a {{DL|Sync move|Divine moves|divine move}} over their normal [[sync move]].

Arceus is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Judgment}}. It is also able to use charged-up versions of the Pokémon of myth's signature moves ({{m|Roar of Time}}, {{m|Spacial Rend}} and {{m|Shadow Force}}), as seen in its boss battle in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Additionally, Arceus is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Multitype}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Arceus has eighteen different forms, one for each [[type]].

Through its Multitype Ability, Arceus can change its type at will by holding one of its [[Plate]]s or a type-specific [[Z-Crystal]]. This causes its eyes, underbelly, face, hooves, snout, gems, and cross-like wheel to change color to match its current type. In ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'', it is also said to feed off the energy of its Plates.

In [[Alola]], the [[Aether Foundation]] gathered Arceus's data from myths and legends told in [[Canalave City]]'s [[Canalave Library|library]] to create an [[artificial Pokémon]] who was initially named {{p|Type: Null|Type: Full}}. Equipped with the {{a|RKS System}}, an Ability that allows it to simulate Arceus's Multitype through [[Memory|memories]], it was developed during the [[Beast killer project]] to protect Alola from the [[Ultra Beast]]s. However, the project was deemed a failure and was later abandoned, and Type: Full's Ability was sealed with a control helmet, which caused it to [[Devolution|devolve]] and be renamed Type: Null. [[Gladion]] eventually discovered it and renamed it {{p|Silvally}}, with their newfound bond allowing it to reawaken its dormant powers.

===NPC appearances===
[[File:Arceus LA.png|thumb|250px|{{ga|Arceus}} in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}]]
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Arceus appears when [[Dark Matter]] begins trying to take the [[Tree of Life]] to the sun, leading the other Pokémon in attempting to stop its ascent. He is able to telepathically reach the player thanks to {{p|Mewtwo}} and transports them to the [[Tree of Life: Roots|Tree of Life's roots]] to confront Dark Matter. When Dark Matter regenerates itself and sends out a massive shockwave, Arceus and the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] gathered to stop the Tree of Life are immediately turned to stone. After Dark Matter is defeated, Arceus will remain at the top of {{OBP|Destiny Tower|Super Mystery Dungeon}}.
* {{g|Legends: Arceus}}: {{ga|Arceus}} is the titular character of the game.

The [[Hall of Origin]] event in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} originally existed in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, but the required [[Azure Flute]] in [[Generation IV]] was an [[event item]] that was never distributed, although the text seen when receiving the 20th Anniversary Arceus states that Arceus could first be obtained in Diamond and Pearl in the Hall of Origin.

===Form data===
Arceus has multiple different forms that it switches between with its [[Ability]] {{a|Multitype}}, with each of its forms having a different [[type]]. In total, it has eighteen different forms, one for each type. Though most of its forms were introduced in [[Generation IV]], its {{type|Fairy}} form was introduced in [[Generation VI]], along with the Fairy-type as a whole.

By default, Arceus is in its {{type|Normal}} form. If it [[held item|hold]]s (or, in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, is exposed to) a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]], it changes its form to be the same type as the type the Plate or Z-Crystal corresponds to.

In games besides {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Arceus's [[signature move]] {{m|Judgment}} is Normal-type by default, but changes to match the type of the Plate that it holds (being unaffected by Z-Crystals). In Legends: Arceus, the type of Judgment is directly determined by Arceus's form, such that its type always matches that of Arceus; additionally, Arceus can change its form during a {{pkmn|battle}} using the [[Legend Plate]]. After being exposed to the Legend Plate, it will be in its Normal-type form by default and change its form before using {{m|Judgment}} to have a type advantage over the target, which also changes Judgment's type to match Arceus's. When determining the type that it changes into, any double weaknesses that the target may have are prioritized, followed by a type that resists the target's primary type (prioritizing immunities), then a type that resists the target's secondary type (again prioritizing immunities); if multiple types are equally valid, one of them is chosen at random. Arceus reverts to its Normal-type form when the battle ends. Arceus has a unique form change animation when using the Legend Plate, which shows it being enveloped in light from a Plate to change its form. If Arceus is deposited into {{g|HOME}} while in any of its alternate forms, it reverts to its Normal-type form; if it is under the effects of the Legend Plate when deposited into HOME, these effects wear off.

In addition to its changing type, Arceus's [[Pokéathlon]] performance differs depending on its form, and it can only learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} from a [[Move Tutor]] while in its {{type|Dragon}} form (though it can learn it via [[TM]] in any form).

[[File:493-Unknown.png|thumb|???-type Arceus sprite]]
In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is an unused {{type|???}} Arceus, but it cannot be legitimately obtained in the games, as there is no ???-type Plate. Due to how its Ability would automatically turn any Arceus without a Plate into a Normal-type Pokémon in Generation IV, a ???-type Arceus [[cheating|hacked]] into the game will be treated as Normal-type. This form was removed in [[Generation V]] due to the removal of the ??? type.

Prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Arceus's alternate forms were not registered separately in the [[Pokédex]]. All of its forms are named simply "Arceus" in the Pokédex.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)]], Arceus will be present in its Water, Electric or Fire-type form, depending on the game, as Plates do not exist. In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], only its Normal-type form is available, with Multitype serving a different function.

==In animation==
[[File:Arceus M12.png|thumb|250px|Arceus in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'']]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Arceus (M12)]]=====
Arceus debuted in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so it attempted to destroy the world. When {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Sheena]] were teleported by {{mov|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influenced the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus would stop its destruction.

=====Other=====
Arceus appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. Following the devastating incident at [[Dahara City]], Ash, his friends, [[Baraz]], [[Meray]], and {{an|Hoopa}} saw it floating in the sky before it soared away.

Arceus appeared in [[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]], where it and the {{an|lake guardians}} assisted Ash and his friends in stopping a rampaging {{p|Heatran}} that had engulfed the [[Flame Plate]] acquired by Team Galactic with its {{a|Flash Fire}} [[Ability]].

====Minor appearances====
Arceus made its animated series debut as a silhouette in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]''. It was called upon by Ash, his friends, their [[Pokémon multiverse#Pokémon Journeys: The Series|alternate world]] counterparts, and the people in both of their worlds to help stop {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}'s fight and destroy the [[Red Chain]] that was forcing them to battle.

==In the manga==
[[File:Arceus Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|Arceus in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Arceus Multitype Adventures.png|thumb|Arceus's various forms in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Movie adaptations===
Arceus appears as a central character in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga adaptation, reprising its role from the {{pkmn|movie}}. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michina Town]] rich and fertile. Damos then "betrayed" Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Arceus (Adventures)}}
In the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Arceus appears as one of the main antagonists, where it plans on destroying humanity due to its mistrust of humans. It was the target of [[Team Rocket]]'s plans to create {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. It first appeared in ''[[PS450|With a Little Help From Hitmonchan]]''.
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all {{TCG|type}}s but {{TCG|Fairy}}. Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set, which were printed with a rule that allows players to have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Arceus 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Arceus trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Arceus appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon where it uses {{m|Gravity}} to produce a shockwave that brings opponents downwards.

====Trophy information====
Arceus appears as a trophy in both versions.

''[[Sinnoh myths#The Original Story|A Pokémon said to have hatched from an egg that appeared from nothing. Newly hatched, it created the world and the sky.]] Its Gravity attack will bring any fighter in midair crashing down to earth. No ground below you? Looks like you're going to go plummeting off the stage as if you'd been hit by a Meteor Smash! ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Arceus appears as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==

* Arceus was designed by [[Takao Unno]].<ref>Creator profile on Takao Unno in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Illustration Collection]], p. 182: "He has created the designs for Garchomp, Croagunk, Arceus and others." ([https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1581735619637948416 archive])</ref>
* Arceus has the highest base stat total of all Normal-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the highest base stat total of any Pokémon in its base form.
** Arceus has the highest base stat total of all Mythical Pokémon.
** In its alternate forms, Arceus has the highest base stat total of all Rock, Bug, Ghost, Steel, Grass, Electric, Ice, Dark, and Fairy-type Pokémon.
** Arceus is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 720.
* In its alternate forms, Arceus is the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon, tied with {{p|Slither Wing}} as the tallest {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon, and tied with Slither Wing and [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Scolipede}} as the tallest {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.
* Arceus's {{type|Flying}} form is the first Pokémon to be pure Flying-type, making the type the last one to have a single-type Pokémon. {{p|Tornadus}} would later be introduced as the first Pokémon to be pure Flying-type in its default form.
** Due to being a pure Flying-type, Flying-type Arceus and Tornadus are the only Pokémon that can have the Flying-type backdrop in the [[Hall of Fame]] after defeating the {{un|Pokémon League}} in {{2v2|Black|White}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. This backdrop will always reflect the Pokémon's primary type, but all half-Flying-type Pokémon had Flying as their secondary type prior to [[Generation VI]].
* In [[Generation IV]], it was impossible to legitimately give Arceus more than 100 [[EV]]s in any stat, since it was only ever distributed at [[level]] 100. Prior to Generation V, level 100 Pokémon could not gain EVs through battling because they could not gain [[experience]].
* Arceus is the only pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* Arceus received the most votes of all pre-Generation V Pokémon in the {{g|Global Link}} [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Arceus|promotion]] poll in both the Japanese poll and the international (non-Japanese and non-Korean) poll.
* Prior to [[Generation VII]], Arceus was classified by Pokédex color sorting as gray.
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Arceus can be encountered without the use of the [[Azure Flute]] via a combination of [[Tweaking]] and the [[Pal Park Retire glitch]]. In addition, Arceus can be encountered an unlimited amount of times with this method, unlike {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as the player can no longer freely move in the "void".
* Arceus is the first [[Mythical Pokémon]] to be obtainable in-game in the core series without an event more than once.
* According to the {{pkmn|animated series}} [[dub]]'s then-voice director [[Tom Wayland]], the dub chose to pronounce Arceus with {{wp|Hard and soft C|a hard c instead of a soft c}} due to concerns over the latter pronunciation's potential {{wp|arse|implications}} in British English-speaking territories.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EuH-5Fv87g&t=2084s Convention Q&A panel with Tom Wayland]</ref>
** This pronunciation is also reflected in the name of the [[Ability]] RKS System.
[[File:Space Globe artwork S.png|thumb|150px|Space Globe]]
[[File:Company Icon RKS Laboratories.png|thumb|150px|Icon for RKS Laboratories]]
* Ever since Arceus's debut, certain aspects of the Pokémon series have made use of its iconography.
** In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], the [[Space Globe]] (Japanese: じくうのオーブ ''Space-Time Orb'') is an item that is described as the ultimate globe that holds the power to pass through space and time. It resembles Arceus's attached wheel and can be found on a statue of Arceus.
** According to {{p|Type: Null}} and {{p|Silvally}}’s [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]], Arceus served as the inspiration for the {{a|RKS System}}, which is Silvally’s [[signature Ability]]. It allows Silvally to change its [[type]] when holding a [[Memory]] of any kind, which is similar to how Arceus’s {{a|Multitype}} allows Arceus to change type when holding a [[Plate]] or a type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].
*** Arceus and Silvally have similar {{Shiny}} colorations, swapping their usual white to a light gold.
** The name of the Ability RKS System is a reference to Arceus, with its English name being similar to the pronunciation of "Arceus". In {{pmin|Germany|German}}, {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}}, {{pmin|France|French}}, and {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}, its name is instead a reference to Arceus's {{pkmn|category}}, the Alpha Pokémon.
*** The company {{DL|Poké Job|List of companies|RKS Laboratories}} (Japanese: アルセウス{{ruby|製薬|せいやく}} ''Arceus Pharma'') in [[Galar]] has a logo similar to the rings on Arceus's body, furthering the connection.
* Despite being a [[Mythical Pokémon]], Arceus has sometimes been [[Terminology of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|treated]] as a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** In {{g|Masters EX}}, Arceus is called a Legendary Pokémon by {{mas|Norman}} in the "Challenge the Normal Types" [[Daily Type Rotation]] event and by {{mas|Misty}} in her arc suit in one of her random conversations in the Pokémon Center.
** The official English website of {{g|Legends: Arceus}} used to refer to Arceus as a Legendary Pokémon, which was later corrected to Mythical Pokémon as of September 28, 2021.<ref>Archive of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] official website ([https://web.archive.org/web/20210818132639/https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/ August 18, 2021]; [https://web.archive.org/web/20210928190642/https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/ September 28, 2021])</ref> On the Japanese website, it has been referred to as a Mythical Pokémon from the beginning.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_arceus/ja/pokemon/210818_08/ Pokémon LEGENDS アルセウス]</ref>
* While using the [[Legend Plate]], Arceus will never transform back into the [[Normal (type)|Normal-type]], as nothing is weak to Normal.
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to narrate the introduction for a [[core series]] game.
* In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Arceus's summary will say it was met at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], despite being fought and obtained in the [[Hall of Origin]].
* Arceus was the only Pokémon first introduced during the DPt era of the Japanese [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. In the international TCG, Arceus and [[Shaymin (TCG)|Shaymin]] were both introduced in the Platinum series. 
* The [[origin mark]] for Legends: Arceus [[File:Arceus mark.png|30px]] and the symbols for the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolArceus.png|30px]] and the {{TCG|Brilliant Stars}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolBrilliant Stars.png|30px]] resemble Arceus's rings.
* Arceus's {{Type|Fairy}} form is the only Pokémon introduced after [[Generation IV]] to exist in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
* In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Arceus is the only Pokémon that can be registered in the player's [[Pokédex]] and have a [[Research task (Legends: Arceus)#Research level|research level]] of 0 at the same time.

===Origin===
Arceus appears to be particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. Arceus also appears to draw significant inspiration from {{wp|Classical Greece}}, evident in the (putative) onomastic nod to {{wp|Zeus}}, ruler of Mount Olympus; in the ancient Greek style settings that frequently frame its epiphanies, such as rows of classical columns, stepped stone platforms, and straight processional approaches typical of Greek sanctuaries; and in the Classical Greek styling favored by Arceus devotees such as {{wp|Volo}}, with tunic-like layering and a {{wp|himation}}-like draped cloak. Its cosmogonic emergence “from an egg” resonates with the {{wp|Orphic Egg}} and the birth of {{wp|Phanes|Phanes/Protogonos}}, as well as the broader {{wp|World egg}} motif found across numerous creation myths. The gold, cross-spoked ring fused around a white, near-abstract body operates as a built-in nimbus or solar crown in the manner of {{wp|Helios}} or a stylized {{wp|Halo (religious iconography)|halo}}, a widespread religious icon used to denote holy, divine, or sacred figures and, at various periods, rulers, heroes, and saints. The triadic delegation of domains (time, space, distortion) parallels the classical division of realms among Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, while Giratina’s banishment functions as a {{wp|Tartarus|Tartarean}} containment of rebellious force.

Based on its appearance and attack animations, Arceus may be modeled on a variety of animals, such as members of {{wp|Equidae}}, {{wp|Camelidae}}, or {{wp|Giraffidae}}, and/or fantastical beings, such as the {{wp|Centaurs}}, the {{wp|Sleipnir}}, the {{wp|Qilin}}, the {{wp|Uchchaihshravas}} or the {{wp|Longma}}. The [[Pokédex]] entry that states Arceus shaped the world with its multiple arms may also reference or be inspired by the many-armed {{wp|Bodhisattva}} {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}} in {{wp|Buddhism}} or by the many-armed {{wp|Hecatoncheires}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}}.

====Name origin====
Arceus may be a combination of αρχή ''{{wp|Arche|arkhé}}'' (Ancient Greek for ''origin'' and ''authority'') or ''{{wp|alpha}}'' and ''{{wp|deus}}'' (Latin for ''god'') or ''{{wp|Zeus}}'' (king of the gods in Greek mythology). It may also involve ''arcane'', ''aureus'' (Latin for golden), ''{{wp|arc}}'', ''arcesso'' (Latin for ''I summon''), ''{{wp|Archeus}}'' (an aspect of the astral plane), or ''{{wp|Chaos (cosmogony)|Chaos}}'' (the origin state of the universe in Greek mythology, often personified as the first primordial deity).

'''Haunter''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴースト''' ''Ghost'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gastly}} starting at [[level]] 25 and evolves into {{p|Gengar}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]].

(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
Haunter is a purple {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a gaseous body. It has a round head flanked by three large, spiked protrusions on either side. It has triangular eyes with small pupils and a mouth with a long, pink tongue. The gases composing its head curve into its mouth to form several pointed teeth. Disembodied hands with three clawed fingers each float in front of its body. Its body tapers into a jagged tail. Haunter's gaseous form makes it one of the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest Pokémon]] in existence.

Haunter hides in very dark places, such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}, and is afraid of light. If a human or a Pokémon comes near Haunter, it will stalk the victim while floating and beckon it to come closer. Once approached it will then lick the victim with its gaseous tongue, inflicting convulsions in the victim that last until death. It can also float through walls. It has been shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' that it can control its hands from far away and can control any Pokémon that it touches with its hands. Haunter have also been depicted as being able to create illusions,<ref>''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion]]''</ref> pull out spirits from an individual’s body,<ref>''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''</ref> and even remove its own eyes from its face<ref>''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]''</ref>. Despite its predatory nature, it is known to entertain and prank people, such as in the episode ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''. Additionally, in ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'', it is even shown to feel intense loyalty to a deceased Trainer. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Haunter is known to sleep while floating.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> A sleeping Haunter will steal the {{DL|Death in the Pokémon world|life-force}} of anyone who comes near using its gaseous tongue.

In [[Generation I]], {{m|Night Shade}} was its [[signature move]].

===Evolution===
Haunter evolves from {{p|Gastly}} and evolves into {{p|Gengar}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

** Page 19 of the [[Pokémon Trainer's Survival Guide]] erroneously references Haunter by this name.
* Despite all of them being {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, Haunter and its [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|evolutionary line]] were not able to learn Poison-type moves by leveling up prior to {{LGPE}}.
* Haunter is the Pokémon with the most [[cry]] changes throughout the [[core series]] games, having been changed in [[Generation II|Generations II]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VI}}.
* Haunter and Gastly are the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] Poison-type Pokémon. They are also tied with {{form|Gimmighoul|Roaming Form}} {{p|Gimmighoul}} for the lightest {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
** Haunter is tied with Gastly, {{p|Flabébé}}, {{p|Cosmog}}, {{p|Kartana}}, and Roaming Form Gimmighoul for the lightest of all Pokémon.
* Haunter is the only Ghost-type Pokémon featured in {{g|Snap}}.
* Haunter's Japanese name, ゴースト ''Ghost'', is exactly the same as the Japanese name for the Ghost type.

===Design variations===
{{main|Pokémon controversies#Four-fingered hands|Pokémon controversies → Four-fingered hands}}
Haunter's [[Generation I]] artworks, Generation I sprites (except {{v2|Yellow}}), and [[Generation III]] sprites depict Haunter with three fingers and one thumb. However, in most of Haunter's appearances in other media, such as throughout ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' (including the [[original series]]), it has always been depicted with two fingers and a thumb.

===Origin===
Haunter appears to be based on a {{wp|ghost}}. Its evolutionary line appears to depict a ghost crossing from the afterlife into the living world, with Haunter representing one that has partially broken through. This is further supported by {{p|Gengar}}'s forms being able to create portals to other dimensions and the afterlife.

Haunter shares many similarities with the {{wp|yōkai}} {{wp|akashita#Akaguchi|akaguchi}}, a creature with a wide mouth and a big tongue whose body is covered by dark clouds, making only its head and clawed hands visible. While Haunter's long tongue is a recurring detail among many yōkai, its vampiric licking might have come from some variants of the {{wp|akaname}}; or from the Dila, a Philippine spirit that licked the life energy of sick people until they died.

Some of Haunter's traits, such as its {{t|Poison}} type and extremely light weight, could be based on {{jwp|浮遊霊|fuyūrei}}, floating spirits said to be able to spread diseases. Similarly, its Poison type and association with gases may be a reference to the {{wp|miasma theory}}, a belief that diseases were caused by toxic vapors.

====Name origin====
Haunter may be derived from ''haunt'' and the {{wp|agent noun|agentive suffix}} ''-er'' or possibly ''hunter''.

Ghost is literally ''ghost''.

'''Gengar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲンガー''' ''Gangar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Haunter}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]]. It is the final form of {{p|Gastly}}.

(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)

Gengar has two [[#Form data|forms]]:
*It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gengar''' using the [[Gengarite]].
*It can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Gengar''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}.

==Biology==
[[File:094Gengar Dream 5.png|thumb|left|120px|Gengar extending its tongue]]
Gengar is a dark purple, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a roundish body. It has red eyes, a wide mouth that is usually curled into a sinister grin, and pointed ears. On its back are numerous spikes, and it has smaller spikes on top of its head similar to tufty fur. Its arms and legs are short with three digits on both its hands and feet. It also has a stubby tail.

Gengar has the ability to hide perfectly in the shadow of any object, granting it exceptional stealth. Its body acts as a {{wp|heat sink}}, cooling the temperature of the surrounding area by nearly 10 °F (5 °C) by absorbing its warmth. It is shown in {{aniseries|PTS}} that Gengar can fly,<ref>''[[EP023|The Screen Actor's Guilt]]''</ref> turn intangible,<ref>''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]''</ref> possess people<ref>''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]''</ref> and other Pokémon, create illusions<ref>''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion!]]''</ref>, pass through dimensions,<ref>[[JN011|''Best Friend...Worst Nightmare!'']]</ref> and extend its tongue by several meters.<ref>''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]''</ref> In certain media, such as [[POKÉMON Detective Pikachu]] and the [[Pokémon Ranger series]], it is also able to create copies of itself. Gengar is very mischievous, and at times, malicious. It enjoys playing practical jokes and casting curses, such as pretending to be one's shadow during a full moon, then behaving erratically, or attacking people who get lost in the mountains. When the quarry notices, Gengar takes delight in its victim's terror. However, it has been known to be loyal to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who treats it well. It waits in people's shadows or the dark areas of their homes before stealing their life force. This is because it was once a [[human]] and wishes for a traveling companion. Being the result of [[Evolution]] via [[Trade|trading]], Gengar is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} and dark places where shadows form. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Gengar is known to sleep deeply while hiding in the shadow of a target it plans to curse.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

In [[Generation I]], {{m|Night Shade}} was Gengar's [[signature move]].

===Forms===
Gengar has two forms: [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gengar and [[Gigantamax]] Gengar.

====Mega Gengar====
As Mega Gengar, a portion of its body sinks into the ground, and its arms and tail lengthen. The lower portions turn a more reddish-purple, and a third eye appears on its forehead. This new unblinking eye is oval, yellow, and allows it to see into other dimensions.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Gengar Mega Gengar | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Gengar archived])</ref> The spikes on Mega Gengar's back are more numerous and pointed, and additional spikes appear on its hands and tail. Its ears are now considerably longer and tilt backward.

Mega Gengar has the ability to access other dimensions and has a vicious nature. It has no interest in opponents unless perceived as prey, and its relationships are warped due to [[Mega Evolution]]. Mega Gengar desires to take and curse the life of anyone or anything in its path; it may even curse its own Trainer. It sinks into another dimension to wait for a chance to attack; this power allows it to appear anywhere it wants to be. Mega Gengar caused an incident one time where it had one of its legs stick out of a wall.

===Gigantamax Gengar===
As Gigantamax Gengar, it becomes larger, with portions of its body sinking into the ground, and only the head, tail, and arms remain. Its body changes from dark-purple to light-purple, and its eyes become white with yellow sclera. The inside of its mouth changes to resemble a tunnel with a long purple tongue sticking out. Three red clouds surround the top of Gengar's head.

Gigantamax Gengar's mouth is rumored to not lead into its body, but the afterlife instead due to its cursed energy. By laying a trap, it attempts to steal the lives of those it captures. Should someone stand near its mouth, they can hear the voices of their loved ones calling out to them.

Gigantamax Gengar is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Terror}}.

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
*These notable Trainers all have a Gengar:
**[[Agatha]] owns two Gengar in all {{pkmn|battle}}s against the player.
**{{ga|Silver}} owns a {{p|Gastly}} in all [[Johto]]-based titles. It will eventually evolve into a {{p|Haunter}} and then a Gengar.
**[[Morty]]'s main partner is Gengar and owns one in all fights against the player. In his initial fights in [[Generation II]] and {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}, he only has one and gains a second in the rematching in the [[Fighting Dojo]]. It can be assumed one of his {{p|Haunter}} had evolved.
**In initial fights, [[Karen]] will use a Gengar in Generation II and HeartGold and SoulSIlver
**[[Fantina]] owns a Gengar in all [[Sinnoh]]-based titles. In {{g|Platinum}} Gengar is not seen until rematches, implying her Haunter had evolved.
**[[Mira]] uses a Gengar in the [[Sinnoh]] [[Battle Tower]] and Platinum's [[Battleground]].
**[[Shauntal]] obtains a Gengar in {{g|Black 2 and White 2}}'s Challenge Mode.
**While defending [[Alola Pokémon League|your title]] in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], [[Plumeria]] is seen to have obtained a Gengar. In the [[Battle Tree]] she may continue to use this Gengar where it can [[Mega Evolve]].
**In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, [[Allister]] owns a Gengar in all battles against the player. This Gengar will [[Dynamax]] into [[Gigantamax]] Gengar.
**As a parallel to Agatha, [[Charm (Hisui)|Charm]] also uses a Gengar.
**Starting with her second battle, [[Gwynn]] will use a Gengar in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.
*In Legends: Z-A, during [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|Mission 20: A Request from the Rust Syndicate]], the player is required to battle two Gengar to clear an old building for Gänger to live in. One Gengar remains and he decides to live with said Gengar. Side Mission 118: Goodbye, Gengar, focuses on this Gengar, who appears to have gone missing. After looking for Gengar with Gwynn, Gänger decides to leave the situation alone knowing Gengar is no where to be found. Gänger reunites with Gengar after the side mission.

====In the spin-off games====
{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Pinball}}: A Gengar appears in a bonus stage accessible from the Red Table. Once the player has knocked out the three {{p|Gastly}} and the pair of {{p|Haunter}}, a Gengar appears and must be defeated to win.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Gengar is the leader of [[Team Meanies]]. While often accompanied by {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Medicham}}, Gengar will often act alone and spends much of the game causing trouble, even convincing the village to exile the hero, blaming them for the natural disasters plaguing the world. However, it is later revealed that he is the actual cursed [[human]], having been cursed by {{p|Ninetales}} to be reborn as a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. After {{p|Rayquaza}} destroys the meteor heading for the world, Gengar will post a request, asking to visit Ninetales in the hopes of bringing back {{mdc|Gardevoir|1}}.

==Trivia==

* In the English [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Gengar's prototype name was "Phantom", which is also its Korean name (팬텀 ''Phantom'').
* Gengar is [[Ken Sugimori]]'s favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The reason for this is that he finds Gengar to be the easiest Pokémon to draw.<ref name=Pokémon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokémon.com] (archived)</ref><ref name=NintendoInt>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html Page 4 of interview with Game Freak, hosted on Nintendo's official website] (Japanese, archived)</ref>
* Despite Gengar and its evolutionary relatives all being part {{type|Poison}}, none of them were able to learn any Poison-type moves by [[level]]ing up until {{LGPE}}.
* Gengar is one of the first two Pokémon to appear in a [[Pokémon battle]] both in {{aniseries|PTS}} and in the {{pkmn|games}}, the other being {{p|Nidorino}}. This is due to their appearance in the opening animation of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, on which the beginning of [[EP001|the first TV episode]] was based on, as well as the Red and Green [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]].
* Gengar, along with Nidorino (and possibly other Pokémon), originate from the [[Capsule Monsters]] game design pitch, which would eventually become the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, Gengar was the only Pokémon included in the [[game credits|credits]] that did not appear in the credits of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
* In {{g|X and Y}}, Gengar is the only Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}} that is not eligible for [[Sky Battle]]s.
* When viewing [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gengar's [[Pokédex entry]], the camera's view can only be moved sideways.
* Gengar could be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Alakazam}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary line, require trading to reach their final stage of Evolution, and are capable of Mega Evolution. They are the same height, and both get shorter upon Mega Evolution. They share a base friendship of 70 and, since Generation VI, a base stat total of 500. Both are weak to the other's [[STAB]], and they share weaknesses to the {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}} types. In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', a Gengar and an Alakazam are put against each other.
** Gengar could also be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Machamp}}. They are, like Alakazam, the last stage of a three-part evolutionary line, can both be obtained through [[trade Evolution|Evolution induced by trade]], and are capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing in [[Generation VIII]]. Both Gengar and Machamp also share a base friendship of 70. While both are weak against {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, as Gengar is part {{type|Poison}} and Machamp is a {{type|Fighting}}, Gengar can counter it with its {{t|Ghost}} typing.
* When being escorted through [[Mt. Freeze]] and [[Murky Cave]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Team Meanies|Gengar]] knows {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Scratch}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}, although it [[game move errors|cannot learn]] those moves by any means in any generation. These are the exact same moves {{p|Absol}} has when joining the player's team during this point in the main story. It's likely the data was unintentionally copied over, as escort Pokémon are uniquely coded from normal Pokémon. In the Rescue Team remake, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], Gengar's moves were changed to {{m|Hypnosis}}, {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}}, and {{m|Sucker Punch}}.
* Gengar's identity as a former human, as described by the Pokédex in Generation VII, may have been inspired by its portrayal in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], which was released 11 years before {{g|Sun and Moon}}.
* In the [[core series]] games, Mega Gengar has small feet that can be seen by recalling it and sending it out. A glitch in [[Pokémon GO]] also allows Mega Gengar's feet to be seen. In [[Pokkén Tournament]], however, Mega Gengar does not have feet. Instead, a portal appears beneath it whenever it is airborne. Its tail will disappear as well.
* When Gengar [[Gigantamax]]es, it doesn't grow on screen. Instead, it pops out of the ground.
* Gengar is the only Pokémon capable of both Gigantamax and Mega Evolution that is not one of the [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]].
* Gengar is the only Ghost-type Pokémon with a Gigantamax form.
* Mega Gengar is immune to {{m|Telekinesis}}. This trait is shared with {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Dugtrio}}, {{p|Sandygast}}, and {{p|Palossand}}.
** In [[Generation VI]], due to a [[glitch]], on the first turn of becoming Mega Gengar, it can still be affected by {{m|Telekinesis}}.
* Gengar is tied with {{p|Snorlax}} for the most Pokédex entries in ''Pokémon the Series'', with a total of 7.
* Mega Gengar has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all Poison-type Pokémon.

===Design variations===
Gengar's {{Shiny}} coloration is inconsistent between official media.
* In the [[Generation II]] [[core series]] games as well as several [[side series]] games, Shiny Gengar has a dark, near-black, purple coloration with bright magenta eyes, as seen in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the {{g|Stadium series}}, {{g|Colosseum}}, {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, and {{g|Battle Revolution}}.
* In the [[core series]] games, {{g|HOME}}, {{g|GO}}, and {{g|Sleep}}, Shiny Gengar has a dull purple coloration with reddish pink eyes.
* In {{g|Shuffle}}, {{g|Duel}}, and the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', Shiny Gengar has a lighter, bluer coloration with reddish eyes.

===Concept and development===
Gigantamax Gengar and its {{Shiny}} form were designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1282081394940801025 Tweet by James Turner (@JamesTurner_42).] Posted on July 11, 2020.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1283183146972745728 Tweet by James Turner (@JamesTurner_42).] Posted on July 14, 2020.</ref>

===Origin===

Gengar appears to be based on a {{wp|ghost}}. Its evolutionary line appears to depict a ghost crossing from the afterlife into the living world, with Gengar representing one that successfully broke through. This is further supported by Mega Gengar and Gigantamax Gengar, which can create portals to other dimensions and the afterlife, respectively.

Gengar's many abilities revolving around shadows, as well as its [[Pokémon category]], may also suggest it is partially based on {{wp|Shadow person|shadow people}}. Both its Japanese and English name may also hint at it also possibly being inspired by certain ghostly beings, such as the {{wp|Gjenganger|genganger}}, {{wp|wiedergänger}}, or {{wp|doppelgänger}}s. Both of Gengar's types and shadow themes may be based on a {{wp|Ikiryō|生霊 ikiryō}}, specifically the doppelgänger-like ones caused by a paranormal illness called ''{{wp|Ikiryō#Ikiryō_as_an_illness|影の病 kage no yamai}}'' (lit. shadow sickness).

Due to its horn-like ears, large teeth, and dark nature, Gengar may also be loosely based on a {{wp|oni}} or oni masks. Oni sometimes have a third eye in the center of their forehead, which could be the reason for that detail in [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gengar. Gengar may also be loosely inspired by the {{wp|Cheshire Cat}}, as it possesses pointed ears, a wide toothy grin, and the ability to vanish at will.

Gigantamax Gengar may be based on popular depictions of mouth-shaped entryways found in carnivals and amusement park rides, often horror-themed ones. Its huge mouth acting as a portal to the afterlife also hints that it may be based on a {{wp|Hellmouth}}.

====Name origin====
Gengar and Gangar may come from ''-ganger'' or ''-gänger'' (walker), as found in ''genganger'' or ''wiedergänger'' (types of {{wp|revenant}}s), or ''doppelgänger'' (ghostly double of a living person). It may also involve 幻 ''gen'' (phantasm).

'''Wobbuffet''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ソーナンス''' ''Sonans'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Wynaut}} starting at [[level]] 15.

==Biology==
Wobbuffet is a tall, cyan {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a soft body. Its eyes usually appear scrunched, and it has a jagged upper lip. The female Wobbuffet has a red marking on its mouth that resembles lipstick, while the male does not. It has flat arms that are wider towards the tip and four stubby legs at the base of its body. There are two eyespots on its black tail. Its eyespots are revealed to be capable of blinking and looking around using its tail in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]]. Wobbuffet is very protective of its tail, supposedly due to the belief that said tail hides a secret about Wobbuffet, to the point where it will suddenly turn uncharacteristically aggressive if the tail is attacked.

Wobbuffet is usually a docile Pokémon that will never attack first. However, when it is attacked, it will inflate its body and initiate a counter-strike. When two or more of this Pokémon meet, they will attempt to outlast each other in a battle of endurance. However, since neither is able to attack, they may compete to see which can last without food. Because of its overprotective nature regarding its tail and hatred of light, Wobbuffet lives in dark {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Wobbuffet is known to keep its tail hidden even while it sleeps.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> However, it will drop its guard when deeply asleep, exposing its tail completely.

Prior to [[Generation V]], Wobbuffet and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Wynaut}}, were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Shadow Tag}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Wobbuffet evolves from {{p|Wynaut}}.

===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Wobbuffet and {{p|Wynaut}} send the {{player}} on a mission into the [[Uproar Forest]]. As thanks for completing it, they help to remodel the rescue base. Notably, the Wobbuffet is the only Pokémon in the entire game that doesn't speak in a way the player can understand, as it only says its own name, though in the later game Explorers of Sky, it does not speak this way.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: Wobbuffet (confirmed to be female by its [[gender differences#Wobbuffet|lipstick]]) once again joins Wynaut, only this time, they're running a shop in the [[Spinda's Café]], called the [[Spinda's Café#Recycle Shop|Recycle Shop]]. Unlike the first game, it no longer says its name, and instead says "That's right!".

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Jessie Wobbuffet.png|thumb|250px|Wobbuffet in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
[[File:Dr White Wobbuffet Wynaut.png|thumb|250px|Female Wobbuffet in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Jessie's Wobbuffet]]=====
[[Jessie]] has a Wobbuffet, originally owned by a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named {{OBP|Benny|EP146}}, that frequently emerges from his {{i|Poké Ball}} to shout his name or cause what Jessie considers to be trouble. Ever since she accidentally [[trade]]d her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} for him in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', which is also the species debut, he has appeared in almost every episode of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', excluding most of {{aniseries|BW}}. She rarely uses Wobbuffet in {{pkmn|battle}}, but when she does, the results are generally good. On the other hand, Jessie's few attempts at using Wobbuffet in Contests have all had negative results.

During ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'', Wobbuffet was left at {{an|Team Rocket HQ|Team Rocket's headquarters}} prior to Jessie, [[James]], and {{MTR}}'s departure to the [[Unova]] [[region]]. He was later reunited with Jessie when the trio returned to Kanto, and he was the only one of Jessie's Pokémon to accompany her to the [[Kalos]] and [[Alola]] regions, as well as her worldwide travels in {{aniseries|JN}}.

=====Other=====
''[[EP173|Wobbu-Palooza!]]'' featured a town in which everyone owned a Wobbuffet, including the local [[Officer Jenny]].

In ''[[XY063|A Fork in the Road! A Parting of the Ways!]]'', [[Dr. White]]'s [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|female]] Wobbuffet became the love interest of Jessie's own Wobbuffet.

A Wobbuffet belonging to [[Alternate World Team Rocket|an alternate world version of Jessie]] appeared in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'' and ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]''.

====Minor appearances====
The [[Mirror World]] has a counterpart for Jessie's Wobbuffet, appearing with [[Mirror Team Rocket|Mirror Jessie]] at the end of ''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]''.

A Trainer's Wobbuffet appeared in ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]''{{tt|*|Could be a different Pokémon or human dressed up as a Wobbuffet}}.

A Wobbuffet appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN019|A Talent for Imitation!]]''.

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Wobbuffet.png|220px|thumb|Wobbuffet in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Wobbuffet will stand on the stage in one place. Anyone attacking or running into it will be damaged by its {{m|Counter}}, apart from the player who threw the Poké Ball, who will only be knocked back.

Wobbuffet is also a [[Poké Floats|Poké Float]] in Melee. It appears on its side and never fully reveals itself. When it first appears, it will quickly return off-screen but will then come back and remain to allow for fighting to take place on top of it.

====Melee trophy information====
''A Patient Pokémon, Wobbuffet lives in darkness to hide its mismatched black tail. Even for a stoic Pokémon, this creature is a testament to self-control; it will not actively attack an opponent. Its {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}} moves are solely used for reflecting attacks directly back at its antagonist.''

====Brawl trophy information====
''A Patient Pokémon. A nocturnal, cave-dwelling creature, Wobbuffet is calm and collected, but it will fight back viciously if its black tail is attacked--this hints at something secretive about its tail. If Wobbuffet is put into battle, the opponent cannot run away or switch. Females have lipsticklike markings around their mouths.''

=== [[Pokémon Channel]] ===
A Wobbuffet appears as a host in the channel Quiz Wobbuffet. It also hosts a "Present Quiz", where the player can earn money for answering questions correctly.

There is also a Wobbuffet Punching Bag that Pikachu can punch. It can be purchased on the Shop 'N Squirtle channel.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Wobbuffet appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}. The corresponding Spirit Battle occurs on the Battlefield form of {{sbw|The Great Cave Offensive}} and is against two blue {{sbw|King K. Rool}}s, who favor their down specials and have {{sbw|Franklin Badge}}s equipped.

==Trivia==
* Wobbuffet has the highest base {{stat|HP}} stat of all {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.
* Wobbuffet is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* If the opponent does not attack Wobbuffet, Wobbuffet cannot harm the opponent except with {{m|Struggle}} (itself unusable unless Wobbuffet has run out of moves) or through the use of a [[Z-Move]] or a [[Max Move]].
* Before [[Generation IV]], Wobbuffet could not damage a {{t|Ghost}}- or {{type|Dark}} Pokémon (without the use of Struggle) that uses an attack of its own type because all Ghost-type moves were physical (the Ghost type is immune to {{m|Counter}}) and all Dark-type moves were special (the Dark type is immune to {{m|Mirror Coat}}). It is still not possible for Wobbuffet to counter the Ghost/Dark typed {{p|Sableye}} or {{p|Spiritomb}} unless another Pokémon uses {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, or {{m|Miracle Eye}} first or the Pokémon is holding a [[Ring Target]], or if {{a|Scrappy}} is passed onto Wobbuffet.
* In [[Generation III]], if two Wobbuffet with Leftovers are facing each other in a Single Battle, the battle will become [[endless battle|endless]] as all of Wobbuffet's moves do not directly damage the opponent, and the player cannot switch to their other Pokémon due to {{a|Shadow Tag}}. Even if the Wobbuffet use {{m|Struggle}}, the damage will be healed quickly by Leftovers. Shadow Tag and Struggle were both changed in [[Generation IV]], likely as a direct response to this scenario.
* Wobbuffet was designed by [[Hironobu Yoshida]].<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20080704081535/http://www.gpara.com/contents/creator/bn_225.htm Drill Dozer interview by Gpara] (Japanese)</ref>
* Wobbuffet's English name was suggested by Jeff Kalles, who assisted in the naming of many [[Generation II]] Pokémon.<ref>[https://twitter.com/sellak/status/1431016823810449410 Tweet by Jeff Kalles (@Sellak).] Posted on August 26, 2021.</ref>

===Origin===
Wobbuffet may be based on a {{wp|punching bag}}; that is, when it is hit, it bounces back. Alternatively, it may be based on the concept of {{wp|karma}} as it can only cause damage if it is attacked first. Wobbuffet may also be based on an {{wp|Okiagari-koboshi}} doll, a Japanese traditional doll with squinted eyes that stands back upright when pushed over.

Given that Wobbuffet often touches its hand to its forehead, it may also be based on the late Japanese ''{{wp|Rakugo|rakugoka}}'' 林家三平 ''{{wp|Hayashiya Sanpei I|Sanpei Hayashiya}}'', who was famous for repeatedly touching his hand to his forehead while saying one of his trademark lines, そうなんす、奥さん ''Sō nansu, okusan'' ("That's the way it is, ma'am").

====Name origin====
Wobbuffet may be a combination of ''wobble'' and ''buffet'' (to strike repeatedly). It might also incorporate a corruption of "What about that?".

Sonans is homophonous with the interjection そうなんす ''Sō na-n-su'', which roughly means, "That's the way it is." It is played off by its pre-Evolution, {{p|Wynaut}}, whose Japanese name, Sohnano, is nearly homophonous with the phrase そうなの？ ''Sō na no?'', meaning, "Really?" Together, they make for a potential perpetual conversation of, "Really?" followed by, "That's the way it is," and so on, as seen in ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]''.

'''Victini''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビクティニ''' ''Victini'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fire}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Victini is a small, rabbit-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with large, pointed ears which form the letter V. It has large, blue eyes and a round, cream-colored head, which is comparatively large compared to its small, cream body, while the tops of its ears, crest, and extremities are all orange. Its bulbous arms and legs are rounded to make a sort of "cuff" before ending with small, three-fingered hands and two-toed feet. It has two pointed teeth that can be seen on its upper jaw. It also has two cream winglike tails, which allow it to fly. Though timid, it is a caring Pokémon; it will fight if its friends are in danger.

Victini is said to bring victory to the [[Pokémon Trainer]] that befriends it. It produces an infinite amount of energy within itself that it can share with others by touch. It can also become invisible. In ''[[M14|White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram]]'', Victini is shown sending visions to people and enjoying {{wp|macaron}}s. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], it's stated that people who believed the legends of Victini's power waged war to get their hands on it.

Victini is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Searing Shot}}. It is also the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|V-create}} by leveling up. Additionally, Victini is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Victory Star}} as an [[Ability]].

==In animation==
[[File:Victini M14.png|thumb|250px|Victini in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Victini (M14)]]====
Victini debuted in [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']]. It lived in [[Eindoak Town]], where it was a friend of the [[King of the People of the Vale]] one thousand years prior to the {{pkmn|movie}}s. In the present day, it was targeted by [[Damon]] in his plan to fly the [[Sword of the Vale]] back to the [[Kingdom of the Vale]] and resurrect his peoples' glory.

====Other====
In ''[[PK26|Pikachu, What's This Key?]]'', {{AP|Pikachu}} and his friends visited a Victini courtesy of {{p|Klefki}}'s keys. It rescued Pikachu and brought him back to safety as he was falling into a chasm.

===Minor appearances===

==In the manga==
[[File:Monta Victini.png|120px|thumb|Victini in [[Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]]]]
===Be the Best! Pokémon B+W===
[[Monta]] received a Victini from an {{pkmn2|event}} in ''[[PBW7|Victini - A New Friend!]]''. It reappeared in ''[[PBW8|The Birth of the Best Pokémon Trainer!]]''.

===Movie adaptations===
{{main|Victini (M14)}}
Victini is a major character in ''[[M14|White—Victini and Zekrom]]''. Likewise, it appears in the {{ma|White—Victini and Zekrom|manga adaptation}} of the film by [[Momota Inoue]] that was serialized in [[CoroCoro]].

===Pocket Monsters BW===
A Victini appeared in [[PMBW13]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
In ''[[PS480|At Liberty on Liberty Garden]]'', Victini was seen on [[Liberty Garden]], where [[Team Plasma]] attempted to catch it, but were thwarted by {{adv|Black}}. Two years later in ''[[PS547|The Final Battle]]'', Victini returned the favor by helping {{adv|Blake}} defeat [[Colress]].

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Victini appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} Pokémon, after playing 100-Man Smash at least once. It uses {{a|Victory Star}}, which causes fighters (and teammates, if any) who send it out to gain immunity to knockback and have their attack power boosted.

[[File:Victini 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Victini trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
Victini also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This Psychic/Fire-type Pokémon shares the limitless energy it creates with others. In Smash Bros., Victini uses Victory Star to power up the fighter that brought it into battle. The fighter won't flinch from damage and will launch foes easier, as well as glow with power. They aren't invincible, though...''

'''PAL''': ''Victini can create an endless supply of energy and share it with others. Its Victory Star move makes the other fighter who summoned it glow with power from head to toe. As long as they're glowing, their launch ability will shoot up and they'll never flinch. That said, they're not invincible - Victini isn't a miracle-worker.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Victini returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, where it gives the summoner their [[Final Smash]] with Victory Star. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Victini Yellow Battle Chess.png|thumb|Victini in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* Victini was first revealed in a preview for the [[M14|fourteenth Pokémon movie]] at the end of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
* Victini has several unique attributes:
** Its [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]] number is 000, making it the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to legitimately have the number 000 in any Pokédex listing.
*** Victini is the only Pokémon to be listed before the [[first partner Pokémon]] of its home region.
*** Consequently, Victini is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] of a later [[generation]] to appear next to {{p|Arceus|a Mythical Pokémon}} of an earlier generation in the National Pokédex.
** It is the only Mythical Pokémon from [[Generation V]] to not have a [[form]] change.
** Victini is the only Mythical Pokémon in Generation V to be caught in a battle instead of received via [[Mystery Gift]].
** Victini is the only Mythical Pokémon in Generation V to have not been made available in the core series games without requiring access to a limited time event.
*** It and {{p|Zarude}} are currently the only Mythical Pokémon to have not been made available in the core series games without requiring access to a limited time event.
** It is the only Pokémon from Generation V that has yet to be legitimately available {{Shiny}} in a later Pokémon game.
* Victini appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version}}. To use it, one must have their {{pkmn|Egg}} damaged three times, then Victini hatches and behaves like a king piece in chess. When the player loses their Victini, they lose. Along with {{p|Emboar}}, it is the only Pokémon that has its power raised when damaged.
* Victini was added at the request of [[Junichi Masuda]].<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref><ref name=IGN20110216>MacDonald, Keza (16 February 2011). [https://www.ign.com/articles/2011/02/16/pokemons-master-speaks "Pokemon's Master Speaks".] ''IGN''.</ref> Masuda himself mentioned in multiple interviews that Victini is his favorite Generation V Pokémon.<ref name=IGN20110216/><ref>Skrebels, Joe (19 October 2016). [https://www.ign.com/articles/2016/10/19/pokemon-creator-picks-his-6-favourites/ "Pokemon Creator Picks His 6 Favourites".] ''IGN''.</ref><ref name=Eurogamer/>
** In a 2011 interview with Eurogamer, Junichi Masuda mentioned [[Mana Ibe]] as Victini's designer, and that it was meant to appeal more to girls than to boys.<ref name=Eurogamer>Yin-Poole, Wesley (23 February 2011). [http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-02-22-the-brains-behind-pokemon-black-and-white-interview?page=2 "The brains behind Pokemon Black and White." (Page 2)]. ''Eurogamer''.</ref>
* {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s [[The Crown Tundra]] expansion contains an unused Victini encounter, suggesting it was planned to be made available in the game without an event.

===Origin===
Victini's appearance seems to be based on うさぎリンゴ ''usagi-ringo'', a method of cutting apple slices to make them look similar to rabbits — this may ultimately be reference to "The Big Apple", one of the nicknames for {{wp|New York City}}, which the [[Unova]] [[region]] is based on. Conceptually, it might draw inspiration from {{wp|Nike (mythology)|Nike}}, the Greek goddess of victory; or her Roman equivalent, {{wp|Victoria (mythology)|Victoria}}. Its tail wings may be a reference to Nike's wings. Its Fire typing may draw from the concept of the {{wp|eternal flame}}, given the Pokédex describes it as having infinite energy and the eternal flame has been used to represent competition and victory, such as for the {{wp|Olympics}}. More specifically, given Victini's location on [[Liberty Garden]] (inspired by {{wp|Liberty Island}}), it could be a personification of the torch held by the {{wp|Statue of Liberty}}. The torch itself has a large number of symbolic associations and meanings.

Victini's "V" theme could be linked to it being introduced in [[Generation V]], "V" being the Roman numeral for 5. "V" could also be a reference to the {{wp|V sign}}.

====Name origin====
Victini is derived from ''victory'',<ref name=IGN20110216/> and also possibly ''destiny'', ''teeny'', or ''tiny''.

'''Malamar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラマネロ''' ''Calamanero'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Inkay}} starting at [[level]] 30 when leveled up while the game system is held upside-down. When playing on the [[Nintendo Switch]] or [[Nintendo Switch 2]], this can only be done in handheld mode and while no other controllers are connected, using the orientation of the attached Joy-Con controllers.

Malamar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Malamar''' using the [[Malamarite]]. Mega Malamar was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
[[File:MalamarXYPromo58.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Malamar under water]]
Malamar is an amphibious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an upside-down squid. Several purple tentacles with bright blue undersides sprout from the top of its bluish-purple head. It has yellow eyes with black sclerae, a dark pink {{wp|cephalopod beak|beak-like mouth}}, and lighter purple eyelids. Its main body is dark purple and has six circular yellow lights on the front and back. There is also a yellow stripe of light nearly encircling its upper body. Covering its main body is a transparent {{wp|Mantle (mollusc)|mantle}} with two white fins on the bottom that function as legs. On each side of the mantle is a long tentacle with dark pink at the top and white, scythe-like fins at the ends. The edge of Malamar's fins are said to be extremely sharp and can be enhanced using {{m|Psycho Cut|psychic energy}} during battles.

Malamar possesses strong hypnotic powers, which are said to be the most powerful of any Pokémon. It induces hypnosis by flashing the lights on its body and performing certain hypnotic motions. It uses its hypnotic powers to lure in other Pokémon it deems prey, before ensnaring them in its tentacles and finishing them off with its digestive fluids. Malamar can also hypnotize people and control them to do its bidding; those under Malamar's control will lose their memories surrounding the event once the hypnosis wears off. Malamar's hypnotic powers are often used by people for nefarious deeds, and these powers are said to influence several history-changing events. As depicted in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'' and ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', Malamar is shown to be very intelligent — reaching almost human levels — and it is capable of running devices designed and handled by humans.

Both the {{pkmn|animated series}} and the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] depict Malamar living near water or even under water. As shown in the {{aniseries|XY}} episode ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Malamar uses its tentacles to propel itself, swimming "legs"-first.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]] and in [[Generation IX]], Malamar and its pre-evolved form, Inkay, were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Topsy-Turvy}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Malamar brain blast.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Malamar can stimulate its brain to boost its psychic powers<ref name=ZAsite2/>]]
Malamar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Malamar.

Mega Malamar's body grows to be thinner and taller, and its brain has become larger thanks to the power of Mega Evolution.<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-malamar Mega Malamar | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> The tentacles on its head all wrap around themselves, forming a brain-like shape. It has large shoulders that form the appearance of a popped collar, and under these shoulders are its two longer arm tentacles, which are roughly twice as long as its body. Mega Malamar moves around by levitating.

Mega Malamar exhibits luminescence in many parts of its body: the tentacles on its head have a bright blue glow, while its body emits a shifting rainbow as a result of its overflowing psychic power. The light on Mega Malamar's body further amplifies its hypnotic abilities. The tips of its arms also glow when Mega Malamar uses its hypnotic powers:<ref name=ZAsite/> the tip on its right arm glows green, while the tip on its left arm glows pink. Mega Malamar's tentacle arms allow it to sense the feelings of those around it.<ref name=ZAsite/>

Mega Malamar possesses greatly enhanced psychic powers, allowing it to go beyond simple hypnosis and overwrite the personalities and memories of its targets, making them act entirely different.<ref name=ZAsite/> Mega Malamar can further boost its psychic powers by sticking its arms into its head, stimulating its brain.<ref name=ZAsite2>(September 10, 2025). [https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega-malamar Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Vivid and Brightly Glowing: Get to Know Mega Malamar!] — Pokémon Official Website</ref> Highly intelligent, this Pokémon prefers to battle with efficiency, and uses its powerful intellect to calmly analyze the situation during battles. Mega Malamar's haughty personality makes it see others, including Pokémon Trainers, as pawns, and it may even hypnotize its own Trainer if it disagrees with their commands.<ref name=ZAsite/>{{left clear}}

===Major appearances===
====[[Malamar (anime)]]====
An evil, psychopathic Malamar appeared in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''. It had hypnotized an [[Officer Jenny]] to pose as "Madame X". While it was defeated in the end, it escaped. Malamar reappeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', along with two other evil Malamar, where they attempted to initiate their plan of world conquest. After being foiled again, they used a machine to [[Time travel|escape into the future]].

====Other====
Six Malamar appeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', along with the three evil Malamar. Unlike the three evil Malamar, these Malamar were peaceful and lived with Pokémon living in the forest. They later helped [[James]] and {{an|Clemont}} stop the three evil Malamar from completing their plans and rescue their friends.

A Malamar appeared in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', under the ownership of [[Xerosic]]. Xerosic used his Malamar to battle several of Clemont's Pokémon, but it was soon defeated. It reappeared in ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', where it attempted to {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotize}} Clemont, but failed.

A Malamar appeared in ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', under the ownership of [[Alain]]. It fought [[Leon's Charizard]] in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] and lost.

===Minor appearances===
Malamar debuted in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''.

==Trivia==
[[File:My Friend Calamanero Pokémon Center announcement.jpg|thumb|250px|"My Friend Calamanero" Pokémon Center campaign announcement]]
* In addition to {{p|Inkay}}'s method of [[Evolution]] into Malamar being unique, it would have been impossible in any of the previous [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] because the [[Nintendo 3DS]] is Nintendo's first handheld system with an internal {{wp|gyroscope}}.
* Malamar and its pre-Evolution are the only Pokémon to have {{a|Contrary}} as a standard [[Ability]] instead of a [[Hidden Ability]].
* Malamar was the subject of the "[[My Friend Malamar]]" (Japanese: マイ・フレンド・カラマネロ ''My Friend Calamanero'') campaign, which ran from September 4 to 10, 2025. The campaign culminated with the reveal of [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Malamar.
* Mega Malamar is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 582.

===Concept and development===
Malamar and its pre-Evolution were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref>

===Origin===
Malamar is based on an upside-down {{wp|squid}}. According to Hitoshi Ariga, Malamar's upside-down design was inspired by the fact that squids are commonly illustrated upside-down in pictorial books.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/921753659381202944 Tweet by ありがひとし/HitoshiAriga (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on Oct 21, 2017.</ref> Its hypnosis ability appears to be a reference to the {{wp|cuttlefish}} and its ability to mesmerize prey by rhythmically changing color. Its body orientation and bioluminescence may also have been inspired by the {{wp|vampire squid}}'s abilities to invert its tentacles and produce light.

Additionally, as alluded to by Ariga,<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1115591492926468096 Tweet by ありがひとし/HitoshiAriga (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on April 9, 2019.</ref> Malamar's physical appearance and its use of hypnosis to forcefully control others may be inspired by the extraterrestrial supervillain trope, common in {{wp|tokusatsu}} shows. Its tentacles acting as living hair also shares some similarities with {{wp|witches}} and {{wp|gorgon}}-like monsters.

Mega Malamar appears to iterate on the supervillain trope; particularly, its large, swollen brain and the tentacles wrapped around its head mirrors super-intelligent characters and genius supervillains in popular media, and its high collar is also a common trait in villain costumes. Mega Malamar using its tentacles to stimulate its own brain may also allude to the trope of characters who enhance their cognitive or psychic abilities by injecting a serum or connecting computer cables to their brains. Its body shape may also be based on the {{wp|nervous system}}, with its head, body, and tentacles standing in for the brain, {{wp|spinal cord}}, and nerves. Its shape may also be inspired by {{wp|fountain pen}}s, with its legs resembling a {{wp|Nib (pen)|pen nib}}. Mega Malamar may also be inspired by various squid species, including the {{wp|bigfin squid}}, a deep sea organism which also possesses extremely long and thin tentacles.

====Name origin====
Malamar may be a combination of ''mal-'' (Latin-derived prefix for bad), μαλάκιο ''malákio'' (Greek for {{wp|mollusk}}), ''{{wp|calamari}}'', and ''mare'' (Latin for sea). It could also be a reference to the Spanish expression ''mala mar'' (literally "bad sea"), used by fishermen or sailors to describe rough sea conditions.

Calamanero may be a combination of ''calamaro'' (Italian for squid) and ''nero'' (Italian for black). It may also involve 絡ます ''karamasu'' (to entangle) and 魔 ''ma'' (demon).

'''Gardevoir''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サーナイト''' ''Sirnight'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kirlia}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is one of {{p|Ralts}}'s final forms, the other being {{p|Gallade}}.

Gardevoir can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gardevoir''' using the [[Gardevoirite]].

The [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Iron Valiant}} is said to be a future relative of Gardevoir and Gallade or a version of them from a parallel timeline.

==Biology==
Gardevoir is a bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose body resembles a flowing gown. Most of its body is white, but its hair, arms, and the underside of its gown are green. Its hair curls over its face and down the sides of its head. Behind its red eyes are short spikes, resembling a masquerade mask. It has long arms with three fingers on each hand and slender white legs. A red, fin-like plate goes through its chest and extends from the back. A band of green on its chest extends to the center of the plate's front half and connects to its sleeve-like arms.

Gardevoir is able to see the future using its psychic powers. Its telekinetic powers enable it to lift objects and support itself without feeling the pull of gravity. Additionally, it is able to create small black holes, distort dimensions, and fire {{m|Aura Sphere|a destructive energy wave}}. Gardevoir's power reaches its peak when protecting its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, whom it will protect with its life. This Pokémon typically inhabits {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}, but has occasionally been sighted in snowy regions. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Gardevoir often sleeps upright in order to protect people or Pokémon instantly at any moment.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> There is a rumor that if anyone sees Gardevoir moving its dress-like body in its sleep, they will never forget that beautiful sight. {{P|Iron Valiant}} shares a resemblance to Gardevoir and {{P|Gallade}}.

===Forms===
Gardevoir can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Gardevoir.

As Mega Gardevoir, it turns almost completely white; only its hair remains green. Its gown becomes longer and wider, resembling a bridal gown. The forearms are slightly thicker with a pointed extension above the elbow, resembling gloves. Its facial spikes are larger and now curl upwards. In contrast, its hair is now shorter and more tightly curled. The plate in its chest has now split in two in the front, the halves extending to either side. The plate is said to be a physical manifestation of this Pokémon's heart, and it is able to use tremendous psychic power now that it is open.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Gardevoir</ref>

* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}: Gardevoir is the spirit of a Pokémon who sacrificed herself for her {{p|Gengar|Trainer}}.

==Trivia==
* Gardevoir's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] ({{v2|Platinum}} only) and the [[List of Pokémon by Almia Browser number|Almia Browser]] are the same: 159.
* Gardevoir's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats are the reverse of {{p|Gallade}}'s, while their other stats are identical.
* Gardevoir and its evolutionary relatives have several unique attributes:
** Gardevoir and Gallade are the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 518.
*** Mega Gardevoir and Mega Gallade are the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 618.
** As of [[Generation VIII]], they are the only Pokémon that are in the {{egg|Amorphous}} and {{egg|Human-Like}} [[Egg Group]]s.
* The trophy descriptions for Gardevoir in both [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] point out the fact that Gardevoir can be both [[gender]]s, despite sporting a feminine-looking design. This is never brought up in any other Pokémon-related media.
* Gardevoir was featured in the ninth episode of [[Beyond the Pokédex]] series.

===Origin===
Gardevoir seems to be based on a feminine {{wp|principal dancer|principal}} {{wp|ballet dancer}} and a {{wp|knight}}, as well as the concepts of {{wp|chivalry}} and {{wp|empathy}}. The long, white frills surrounding its body resemble a floor-length dress, and its thin, pointed legs make it appear as if it is standing {{wp|Pointe technique|en pointe}} and wearing white {{wp|tights}}. Its hair is styled into a {{wp|bob cut}}, which resembles a {{wp|Barbute|barbuta helmet}}, and the short spikes behind its eyes resemble a {{wp|Masquerade ball|masquerade}} mask. Its split red plate resembles a {{wp|heart symbol}} and seems to pierce its chest, implying that its ability to sense emotions is even stronger than its pre-evolved forms since the plate is connected directly to its heart.

Gardevoir's {{t|Fairy}} type and protective nature over its {{pkmn|Trainer}} seem to be inspired by {{wp|guardian angel}}s, and its flowing, white body is reminiscent of {{wp|ghost}}s or {{wp|spirit}}s such as a {{wp|White Lady}}.

Its large head, minimal facial features, and frail physique are similar to ''anesama ningyō'', a type of {{wp|Japanese dolls|Japanese paper doll}}.

Gardevoir and its evolutionary line also bear a strong resemblance to the {{wp|elf|meadow elves}}, who were believed to possess magical powers and supernatural beauty. These beings were often ambivalent toward ordinary people, capable of either helping or hindering them. The word ''elf'' in {{wp|Germanic|Germanic}} languages originally meant "white being", which may explain why they were often depicted wearing white tights. By the end of the medieval period, the word ''elf'' was frequently supplanted by the French loanword ''fairy,'' which may explain its {{t|Fairy}} type.

[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gardevoir appears to be based on a {{wp|ballroom dance}}r wearing a large {{wp|ball gown}} and {{wp|evening glove}}s. It may also be based on an elven {{wp|Magician (fantasy)|mage}}, with its white cloak resembling a mage's robe and the red horns on its chest being a magic pendant or artifact, which serves as their source of power.

====Name origin====
Gardevoir may be a combination of the French words ''garde'' (guard) or ''garder'' (to guard) and ''devoir'' (duty), as well as ''voir'' (to see; referring to its psychic powers).

Sirnight may be a combination of ''{{wp|sir}}'' (an honorific for male knights), ''{{wp|knight}}'', ''sight'', ''{{wp|Syrinx}}'' (a nymph from ancient Greek mythology), and possibly a pun on さあ、ナイト ''saa, naito'' ("Come here, Knight").

'''Sudowoodo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウソッキー''' ''Usokkie'') is a {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Bonsly}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Mimic}}.

In [[Generation II]], its [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]], and {{game|Emerald}}, {{pkmn2|wild}} Sudowoodo can be found blocking the road in inconvenient locations in [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]]. In order to engage it in battle, a {{pkmn|Trainer}} must first squirt it with water from either a [[Squirt Bottle]] or [[Wailmer Pail]].

==Biology==
Sudowoodo is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a brown, log-shaped body with yellow spots. It has short legs with toeless feet, and thin forelegs with three green spheres at the ends of its fingers. It has a forked "branch" on top of its head, which is shorter on the female than on the male. Despite its appearance, Sudowoodo's composition is closer to a rock than a {{t|Grass|plant}}. This stony composition grants it a {{a|Sturdy|durable physique}}.

Sudowoodo disguises itself as a tree and stands along paths to avoid being attacked. Sudowoodo's camouflage fails in the winter, as its forelegs remain green, unlike real trees. Sudowoodo is very weak to water and hates it, so whenever it starts to rain, it will break their disguise and flee to the nearest source of shelter. Because it holds its position for so long, its arms have become supple yet strong. It is popular with the elderly, with available magazines and fans devoted to its arm angle and length. Sudowoodo can be found living {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|in forests}}, sometimes [[Kalos Route 20|sharing a habitat]] with {{p|Trevenant}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Sudowoodo is known to keep its tree mimicry even when sleeping.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> However, it will occasionally retire this stance and instead sleep on the ground.

In [[Generation II]], {{m|Mimic}} was its [[signature move]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Brock's Sudowoodo]]=====
{{an|Brock}}'s Bonsly [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Sudowoodo in ''[[DP014|Leave It To Brocko!]]''. Although he was needy and easily distressed as a Bonsly, Sudowoodo proved a strong and reliable partner.

=====Other=====
Sudowoodo debuted in ''[[EP162|Type Casting]]''. Two Pokémon researchers, [[Marie]] and [[Pierre]], were arguing over the issue of whether Sudowoodo as a species is a {{t|Grass}}- or {{type|Rock}} Pokémon. As a result, they pursued one in order to prove their own points to each other.

In ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]'', a Sudowoodo pretended to be part of a tree and hoarded grapes for itself rather than share them with the [[Pichu Brothers]].

In ''[[AG173|All That Glitters is Not Golden!]]'', [[Keenan]] owns a {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in animation|Sudowoodo|golden Sudowoodo}}. He experimented on it with the hopes of giving it resistance against {{type|Water}} Pokémon, but he made it turn golden in color in the process. Sudowoodo, however, was unhappy with the change and was eventually reverted to its previous type and color scheme.

In ''[[PK27|Pikachu and the Pokémon Music Squad]]'', a Sudowoodo noticed the fight among {{MTR}}, {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}, and a {{p|Torchic}} over a [[Pecha Berry]].

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', [[Callahan]] saved a Sudowoodo by catching the {{p|Golduck}} that was chasing it. Afterwards, it followed Callahan around before being caught by him.

A Sudowoodo appeared in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and…]]'', under the ownership of [[Brassius]]. It battled against [[Roy's Fuecoco]] and won after {{Tera}}stallizing into a Grass [[type]], despite its newly acquired type disadvantage. In ''[[HZ049|Dot and Nidothing]]'', Sudowoodo was used by Brassius for [[Roy]]'s [[Tera Training]] battle. This time, both parties Terastallized, and Fuecoco was to one to emerge victorious.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', multiple Trainers' Sudowoodo joined the rest of [[Alola]] in showering {{an|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}.

A Trainer's Sudowoodo appeared in ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]''.

Four Sudowoodo appeared in ''[[SM125|A Timeless Encounter!]]''. In [[SM126|the next episode]], [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Lycanroc}} tackled one of them after they mistook it for their Trainer, due to it wearing [[Ash's hat]].

====Trophy information====
''"An imitation {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an aversion to battle, Sudowoodo always poses as a tree in order to avoid being attacked. Despite their arboreal appearance, these Pokémon are actually Rock-types, and therefore highly vulnerable to water. When it begins to rain, they vanish. A Sudowoodo can be found blocking {{rt|36|Johto}} in [[Johto]]."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Sudowoodo appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}. The corresponding Spirit Battle occurs on the hazardless version of {{sbw|Green Greens}} and is against two orange {{sbw|Ridley}}s and a green Ridley, although only the green Ridley needs to be defeated to win. All three Ridleys favor their smash attacks, which they gain super armor for charging.

==Trivia==
* Sudowoodo was created by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It was created to serve as an obstacle in the overworld.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0007/gfreak/page06.html</ref>
* In [[Generation II]], only one Sudowoodo appears (from being sprayed with water from a [[Squirt Bottle|SquirtBottle]]). Similarly, in [[Generation III]], only one Sudowoodo appears—this time as the result of a spray from the [[Wailmer Pail]]. However, in [[Generation IV]], the {{player}} can get multiple wild Sudowoodo by evolving {{p|Bonsly}} or by catching it in [[tall grass]].
* Sudowoodo's habit of disguising itself as a tree has been occasionally shown in the games.
** In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Sudowoodo stand still in dungeons, in a similar manner to the Sudowoodo in [[Johto]].
** In {{g|X and Y}}, a Sudowoodo can be encountered in a [[Horde Encounter]] with four {{p|Trevenant}}.
** Starting in [[Generation VI]], Sudowoodo stand still when idle.
** [[Brassius]], the {{type|Grass}} [[Paldea]] [[Gym Leader]], uses a Sudowoodo with a Grass [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera Type]].

===Origin===
Sudowoodo seems to be based on a small {{wp|tree}} and {{wp|petrified wood}}, which is a plant that has become fossilized over time. This would explain its pure {{t|Rock}} type since all of the organic material in petrified wood is replaced with minerals. It may also be based on the concept of {{wp|mimicry}}, such as that exhibited by {{wp|Phasmatodea|stick insects}}, bugs that evolved to resemble twigs and leaves to evade predators – Sudowoodo's forked horn resembles an insect's antennae.

====Name origin====
Sudowoodo is a corruption of ''pseudo'' (false) and ''wood''.

Usokkie is derived from 嘘 ''uso'' (false) possibly in combination with 木 ''ki'' (''wood'' or ''tree''). It could also derive from 嘘つき ''usotsuki'' (liar).

This is referenced by [[Brassius]] referring to his Grass-type Terastallized Sudowoodo as '''Truleewoodo''' (Japanese: '''ウソから出た{{tt|実|まこと}}''' ''truth from lies'').

'''Kleavor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バサギリ''' ''Basagiri'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation VIII]], in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scyther}} when exposed to a [[Black Augurite]]. It is one of Scyther's final forms, the other being {{p|Scizor}}.

==Biology==
Kleavor is a {{wp|Mantis|mantis-like}} insect {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a craggy {{wp|exoskeleton}} featuring a rock-like composition. Its predominantly beige and white body is adorned with numerous black rocky protrusions, including a ring of angular rocks on each of its shoulders, a mask of rock lining its brows down to its jawline, two sharp toe claws on each foot, and a single black shard of rock atop the crown of its head. The large wings present on Scyther's back seem to have atrophied into {{wp|Vestigiality|vestigial features}} on Kleavor. Most notably, each of Kleavor's two spindly front limbs ends in large axe-like appendages made of heavy, {{a|Sharpness|extremely sharp}} black rock, capable of causing severe damage to even the hardiest of foes. Kleavor swings these appendages to carve and chop down trees, marking its territory.<ref name=LAsite>[https://legends.arceus.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/kleavor/ Kleavor | Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website]</ref> It also uses these heavy stone axes to finish off prey.

Kleavor is an Evolution of {{p|Scyther}} caused by [[Black Augurite]]s, which are said to originate from volcanic regions in [[Hisui]] but are now extremely rare. The stones that adorn Kleavor's body often get chipped during fierce fights; larger chips are a sign that it is experienced in battle. Stone shards that fell off Kleavor during the battle were known to have been collected and used by the settlers of Hisui to craft tools.<ref name=LAsite/> Kleavor is known to be very hostile, and it is best avoided if ever encountered in the wild. Kleavor's nature is described as being rough, crude, and violent.

Kleavor is implied to be at the brink of extinction in the present day, only known to be found in [[Blueberry Academy]], located somewhere in Unova's ocean, specifically in its [[Terarium]]'s [[Canyon Biome]] as well as [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].

A special Kleavor is worshiped by the Hisui people as he is descended from one of the ten ancient Pokémon blessed by {{p|Arceus}}. In particular, he is one of the [[Noble Pokémon]] who resides in [[Obsidian Fieldlands]] watched by the [[warden]] [[Lian]].

Kleavor is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Stone Axe}}.

===Evolution===
Kleavor evolves from Scyther. It is one of Scyther's final forms, the other being {{p|Scizor}}.

===Evolution data===
Kleavor evolves from {{p|Scyther}} when exposed to a [[Black Augurite]]. Scyther cannot evolve into Kleavor in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], as Black Augurite cannot be obtained in those games, but can be transferred over to [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] via [[Pokémon HOME]] and evolved in that game.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Lucius's Kleavor]]=====
A Kleavor first appeared in a fantasy in ''[[HZ025|Rivals in the Dark of Night!]]'', where it's revealed that it was one of [[Lucius]]'s Pokémon and one of the [[Six Heroes]]. It physically debuted at the very end of ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', albeit heavily shadowed, where it was spotted by [[Perrin]]. It properly appeared to Liko and her friends in ''[[HZ073|Kleavor the Solitary Warrior]]''. Unlike other depictions of its species, Kleavor's axes are heavily worn out.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Kleavor (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Despite having different base stats, Kleavor, {{p|Scizor}}, and {{p|Scyther}} all have a base stat total of 500. As such, Kleavor and Scizor are the only Pokémon to not have their base stat total change upon [[Evolution|evolving]].
* Kleavor, along with {{p|Wyrdeer}} and {{p|Ursaluna}}, are the first [[List of cross-generational evolutionary lines|cross-generational Evolutions]] that evolve from the original form rather than the regional form to be introduced since {{p|Sylveon}} in [[Generation VI]].
* Kleavor is the only {{type|Rock}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with two or more pairs of wings}}.
* Kleavor is the only Pokémon introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} that can have the [[Galar]] [[origin mark|symbol]] or [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go mark]], due to Scyther being able to have them.
* In the internal code of Legends: Arceus, Kleavor's Hidden Ability is {{a|Steadfast}} instead of {{a|Sharpness}}.
* Prior to Version 1.2.0 of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Kleavor's base Attack stat was decreased by 5 points to 130, and its Special Defense stat was increased by 5 to 75. This change was undone when Kleavor became available in those games. Similar occurences happened to Hisuian {{p|Zorua}} and Hisuian {{p|Zoroark}}.
** Prior to Version 2.0.1, Kleavor was unable to learn {{m|Rain Dance}} via [[TM]], while its pre-Evolution could.

===Origin===
Kleavor may be based on a {{wp|Mantis|praying mantis}}. Due to its coloration, it may be based on a {{wp|dead leaf mantis}} in particular. Its stones appear to be based on {{wp|obsidian}}, a volcanic glass with a deep black color that produces sharp edges when fractured. The shard on its head resembles a stylized {{wp|chonmage}}, a topknot hairstyle worn by samurai and sumo wrestlers, or a 髻 ''jì'', a Chinese topknot that was worn by men.

Kleavor's overall design, especially its stone axe forelegs, may be inspired by the idiom 蟷螂の斧 ''tōrō no ono'' (lit. mantis's axe), a figurative expression that connotes a courageous but doomed resistance. In Japanese, the alternate name for the mantis is 斧虫 ''onomushi'', literally meaning "axe bug".

====Name origin====
Kleavor seems to be a corruption of ''cleaver'', or a combination of ''cleaver'' and ''razor''. It may also involve ''{{wp|ore}}'' (a natural and valuable rock) and [[wp:Cleavage_(crystal)|''cleavage'']] (the tendency of crystals to split along defined structural planes).

Basagiri may be a combination of バッサリ ''bassari'' (with a single stroke), ばさら ''basara'' (acting without restraint; a term used during medieval Japan describing the disregard for the higher ranks), a corruption of ''berserker'', 鉞 ''masakari'' ({{wp|broadaxe}}), and カマキリ ''kamakiri'' (mantis).

'''Regidrago''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジドラゴ''' ''Regidorago'') is a {{type|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation VIII]], in [[The Crown Tundra]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

It is a member of the [[legendary giants]] along with {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regieleki}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Gary Regidrago Dragon Energy.png|thumb|left|250px|Regidrago forming a mouth while using {{m|Dragon Energy}}]]
Regidrago is a spherical, golem-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a dark red body made of crystallized dragon energy, with the energy being the densest at its central core. Its face has a pattern of seven blue dots that resembles the capital letter "Y". It has two red legs with black feet that are shaped like teeth. Its arms are black on the outside and dark red on the inside, and resemble a dragon's head; the right arm resembles a dragon's upper jaw, complete with horns and "eye sockets", while the left arm is shaped like a lower jaw. Two red spikes shaped like wings are located behind its back, although it doesn't use these to fly, as it is capable of floating in the air. Regidrago's body and the "eye sockets" on its right arm can glow pink when attacking.

According to legend, Regidrago was created by the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Regigigas}} using crystallized dragon energy. It used to be worshipped by [[Human|humans]], however, at some point, ancient people started fearing its power and sealed it away in the [[Split-Decision Ruins]]. Regigigas ran out of crystals after building Regidrago's head and it was sealed away by ancient people, who feared the destruction it would cause should it ever be completed.<ref name=SwShsite/> Due to its body composition, Regidrago is said to have the most powerful {{type|Dragon}} moves of all Pokémon,<ref name=SwShsite/> along with the power of every Dragon-type Pokémon. Regidrago can fire an attack made of intense dragon energy by combining its arms to form a mouth<ref name=SwShsite>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/regidrago/ Newly discovered Legendary Pokémon Regidrago | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>. There is an unproven academic theory that posits that Regidrago's arms originated from the head of an ancient dragon Pokémon. It can {{m|Dragon Energy|convert its life-force into power}}, attacking its opposers.

Regidrago is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Dragon Energy}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Dragon's Maw}} as an [[Ability]].

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===

* [[Pokémon UNITE]]: Regidrago appears as a wild Pokémon in the [[Mer Stadium|Full-Burst Battle! Dragon Dustup]] quickplay mode, and the [[Theia Sky Ruins|Theia Sky Ruins (Groudon)]] map. Defeating it will make it advance towards one of the opposing team's goal zones while attacking opposing Pokémon on the way, scoring some points depending on its current HP and making said goal zone defenseless for a while upon reaching it. Its moves contain Dragon Energy, that can stun Pokémon in a straight shot and {{m|Crunch}} that can deal damage when it gets close. On [[Theia Sky Ruins]], it spawns in the central area at 8:00.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Regidrago (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
*Regidrago is the only member of the [[legendary giants]] that:
**Does not have a base {{stat|HP}} stat of 80.
**Does not have a base {{stat|Speed}} that is a multiple of 50.
**Cannot learn {{m|Lock-On}} and {{m|Zap Cannon}} by level up; instead it learns {{m|Laser Focus}} (in [[Generation VIII]]) or {{m|Focus Energy}} (in [[Generation IX]]) and {{m|Dragon Energy}}.
**Does not learn a move at level 24.
**Does not share a weakness with any of the other giants.
**Has its official romanized Japanese name differ from its English name.
*Along with {{p|Regieleki}}, Regidrago is the only [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in Generation VIII that is not prevented from being {{Shiny}} in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
*Regidrago's base HP and Speed stats are the reverse of Regieleki's.
*Regidrago is the only pure Dragon-type Legendary Pokémon.
* When Regidrago {{Tera}}stallizes, the Tera Jewel appears on top of its right arm instead of on its head.

===Origin===
Regidrago appears to be based on a dragon head and a crystal ball or a pearl held by an {{wp|Asian dragon}}. Along with the other [[legendary giants]], Regidrago may also be based on the golems of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened, or even killed in some legends. Regidrago's face that consists of seven dots may be based on the {{wp|Braille alphabet}} which was used in the puzzle for encountering the legendary giants for the first time in the [[Sealed Chamber]].

The five legendary giants may also collectively be themed after historical epochs, with Regidrago representing the {{wp|Middle Ages}}, a period known for its legends of dragons. Alternatively, Regidrago may represent the {{wp|Mesozoic}}, the era when dinosaurs walked the Earth, also known as the Age of Reptiles. Regidrago being the remnants of an ancient dragon or crystallized dragon energy may be a vague reference to {{wp|fossil fuel}}s.

====Name origin====
Regidrago and Regidorago may be a combination of ''regis'' (Latin for royal) and ''dragon''.

'''Regieleki''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジエレキ''' ''Regieleki'') is an {{type|Electric}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation VIII]], in [[The Crown Tundra]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

It is a member of the [[legendary giants]] along with {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regidrago}}.

==Biology==
[[File:RegielekiVSilverTempest57.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Regieleki opening its arms]]
Regieleki is an electric golem-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} made mostly of electric energy generated by a single organ. It has a round yellow body with three spikes on top of its head, and a pattern of seven pink dots on its face that resembles the letter "X". Regieleki's arms are shaped like lightning and usually appear bunched together, while its legs are tiny and resemble both lightning bolts and an electrical plug. Its body can glow bright yellow when attacking. Regieleki has five blue rings on its body, with two on the base of its arms acting as its shoulders, and the other three located at the bottom connecting to its legs.

According to legend, Regieleki was created by the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Regigigas}} using pure electric energy. It used to be worshipped by [[human]]s, however, at some point, ancient people started fearing its power and sealed it away in the [[Split-Decision Ruins]]. The blue rings are insulated and cannot conduct electricity, they've been put on it by ancient people who were tormented by it, in order to restrain its powers.<ref name="SwShsite">[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/regieleki/ Newly discovered Legendary Pokémon Regieleki | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>. It is said that if the rings on its body were to be removed, Regieleki would be able to unleash its latent powers. Regieleki absorbs electrons in order to stay alive and is said to have the greatest power of any {{type|Electric}} Pokémon,<ref name="SwShsite" /> being powerful enough to generate all of [[Galar]]'s electricity. It can trap its foes inside {{m|Thunder Cage|a cage of sparking electricity}} that inflicts damage over time.

Regieleki is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Thunder Cage}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Transistor}} as an [[Ability]].

==Trivia==
*Regieleki has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Along with {{p|Regidrago}}, Regieleki is the only [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]] that is not prevented from being {{Shiny}} in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
* Regieleki is the smallest and lightest of the [[legendary giants]], at 3'11" (1.2 m) and 319.7 lbs. (145.0 kg).
*Regieleki is the only member of the legendary giants that cannot learn {{m|Hammer Arm}} by leveling up. Instead, it learns {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
*Regieleki's base {{stat|HP}} and Speed stats are the reverse of Regidrago's.

===Origin===
Regieleki appears to be based on the concept of an electric charge being restrained by electrical insulation. Its overall shape resembles an {{wp|incandescent light bulb}}, its restraints resemble electrical coils, its arms resemble {{wp|electric arc}}s, and its legs resemble a {{wp|AC power plugs and sockets|power plug}}. As an electric generator found in ancient ruins, its inspiration may also be drawn from an {{wp|out-of-place artifact}} (OOPART), such as the {{wp|Baghdad Battery}}.

Along with the other [[legendary giants]], Regieleki may also be based on the golems of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened, or even killed in some legends. Regieleki's face, which consists of seven dots, may be based on the {{wp|Braille alphabet}} which was used in the puzzle for encountering the legendary giants for the first time in the [[Sealed Chamber]].

The five legendary giants may also collectively be themed after historical epochs, with Regieleki representing the {{wp|Modern Age}}.

====Name origin====
Regieleki may be a combination of ''regis'' (Latin for royal) and エレキ ''ereki'' (Japanese for electric).

'''Regigigas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジギガス''' ''Regigigas'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Regigigas is the creator of the [[legendary giants]], often viewed as their [[Legendary leader|leader]] by fans.

==Biology==
[[File:Regigigas orb.png|thumb|left|250px|Regigigas in the form of a stone of life]]
Regigigas is a large, white, golem-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has large yellow bands on its shoulders and wrists, and a yellow sloping section on its chest that appears to be its head. This section contains seven black circular "eyes" arranged in a specific pattern. The pattern is Regigigas's way of showing its anger; its eyes glow red when it is provoked. It has six gems around around its head, the upper ones are red, the middle ones are teal, and the bottom ones are gray. Regigigas has long arms, with three fairly human-like white fingers, and short legs. Its body is covered in black stripes, and it has large bushes of moss growing in its back and feet.

Regigigas is an extremely skilled craftsman. Long ago, it created five golems in its image and brought them to life. It used {{t|ice}}, {{t|rock}}s, {{t|steel|magma}}, a cluster of {{t|electric}} energy, and crystallized {{t|dragon}} energy to create these golems. They would become known as the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regieleki}}, and {{p|Regidrago}}. Regigigas is also capable of controlling these legendary giants, even if they already belong to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It can also survive extreme conditions as it is able to work with the boiling temperatures of magma as well as frigid ice (−328 °F / −200 °C). When Regigigas is disturbed from its slumber, it goes on a rampage and shoots powerful beams of energy. However, it becomes calm and gentler if befriended. According to an enduring [[Sinnoh]] [[Sinnoh myths|legend]], after it created the [[legendary giants]], Regigigas pulled landmasses together and binded them with ropes to create the [[region]]s of the [[Pokémon world]]. At some point, Regigigas fell into a deep sleep inside the [[Snowpoint Temple]]. To reawaken it, one must unlock the door to the chamber where Regigigas is sealed.

Regigigas is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Crush Grip}}. Prior to [[Generation IX]], {{a|Slow Start}} was its [[Signature Ability|signature]] [[Ability]].

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===

==== In the core series ====

* These notable Trainers all use Regigigas:
** In all [[Generation IV]] games, as well as {{G|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, in the [[Battle Tower (Sinnoh)|Battle Tower]], Palmer will use a Regigigas during the 49th consecutive battle in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond, Pearl]], Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, or the Gold Print challenge in [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]]. Additionally, in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Palmer may use a Regigigas in Master Class battles against the player.
** In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, during a Multi Battle challenge in the Battle Tower, one of the Pokémon that [[Riley]] can select to help the player is a Regigigas.

==== In the spin-off games ====
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Regigigas appears as a statue, along with four {{p|Bronzong}} and four {{p|Hitmonlee}}, in [[Aegis Cave]]. When the player's team and [[Team Charm]] reach them, the statues come to life and battle the two teams. After being defeated, Regigigas rises again and smashes the ground with its fist, causing the earth outside to heave up and reveal the entrance to the [[Concealed Ruins]]. Afterward, Regigigas can be battled again and recruited.

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Regigigas anime.png|thumb|250px|Regigigas in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
====Major appearances====
Regigigas debuted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. It lives in a temple in the mountains of [[Ten'i Village]] and had been asleep for centuries, subsequently having moss growing on its feet and shoulders. However, when [[Zero]] entered the [[Reverse World]] and began shattering pillars of ice within it, the glacier in front of Regigigas' temple suffered catastrophic explosions and began moving. This disturbed its slumber, rousing it into action. When [[Dawn's Buneary]] and {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}} failed to stop the glacier with the help of a large group of [[wild Pokémon]], Regigigas appeared and commanded a herd of dozens of {{p|Mamoswine}} to hold the glacier back. Once the crisis was resolved, Regigigas returned to its temple. It was last seen using {{m|Hyper Beam}} on {{TRT}} during the ending credits.

Regigigas made its animated series debut in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'' at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]. [[J]] wanted to steal it, and a result, it was rudely awakened. It went on a rampage afterwards, using Hyper Beam on anything. It even used {{m|Confuse Ray}} to control {{an|Brandon}}'s set of {{TP|Brandon|legendary giants}} and force them to help it. At the end of the episode, it healed Brandon and his giants using {{m|Hidden Power}} to restore them from their petrification. It was then taken back to the temple to return to its slumber.

In ''[[JN113|Chasing to the Finish!]]'', a [[Dynamax]] Regigigas was awakened in the [[Crown Tundra]] after [[Project Mew]] succeeded in gathering all the legendary giants together.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', {{MTR}}'s [[boss fantasy]] featured a Regigigas.

A Regigigas appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

In the beginning of ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', a Regigigas was summoned by a {{an|Hoopa}} Unbound in [[Dahara City]] one hundred years prior to the events of the {{pkmn|movie}}, alongside a {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}. The three fought Hoopa, but were easily defeated and sent back through portals to their original homes.

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Regigigas PG.png|thumb|250px|Regigigas in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
In ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', a {{pkmn2|wild}} Regigigas was awakened in the [[Snowpoint Temple]] by a nearby battle between [[Red's Pikachu]] and a wild {{p|Probopass}}. It proceeded to easily smack Probopass aside, shrug off Pikachu's {{t|Electric}} attack, and retaliate with a devastating attack of its own.

===Movie adaptations===

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Reg}}
Regigigas's silhouette was first seen inside the [[Snowpoint Temple]] in ''[[PS400|Bogging Down Quagsire]]''. When {{adv|Platinum}}, [[Maylene]], and [[Candice]] were about to freeze in a blizzard following their defeat at the hands of [[Jupiter]], it was the one who carried them to safety. Whilst in her trance, Platinum unconsciously rolled over an empty {{i|Poké Ball}} to the creature, and it ended up in her bag. At the [[Spear Pillar]], it emerged and chose to join {{adv|Diamond}}'s [[party|team]] in an effort to stop {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}'s clash. It was later [[nickname|named]] "Reg."

In ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', it was revealed that Regigigas had originally been unsealed and caught by [[Palmer]], who had eventually chosen to return it to the Snowpoint Temple.

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
{{main|Hareta's Regigigas}}
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], [[Hareta]] captures Regigigas by persuading it to help him stop [[Team Galactic]]. It first appeared in ''[[DPA14|A Novel Test!!]]''

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Regigigas appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* Due to {{a|Slow Start|its Ability}} [[:Category:Abilities with negative effects|weakening it]], Regigigas has more in common with {{p|Slaking}} than it does with other [[Legendary Pokémon]]. They share the same {{t|Normal}} [[type]], the same base stat total of 670, the same base {{stat|Attack}} stat of 160, and {{Abilities}} that limit their power.
** Regigigas and Slaking also have the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all Normal-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Regigigas is the only one of the [[legendary giants]] not to have its type referenced in its name.
* In Platinum, by hacking to obtain [[Cherish Ball]]s, it is possible to trick the game into opening {{si|Rock Peak Ruins|Rock Peak}}, {{si|Iceberg Ruins|Iceberg}}, and {{si|Iron Ruins}}: by catching the in-game Regigigas in a Cherish Ball, the game thinks the Regigigas was obtained at an event.
* In [[Generation IV]], Regigigas is the only Pokémon required to acquire the [[diploma]] that cannot be obtained without the use of [[Pal Park]] or an event, even with all Generation IV titles. This limitation occurs because Regigigas cannot be obtained without the use of the other legendary giants, which in turn cannot be obtained without either [[transfer]]ring them from [[Generation III]] or obtaining them in Platinum with an event Regigigas.
* Regigigas is the only [[Generation IV]] Legendary Pokémon whose Attack stat is higher than its {{stat|Special Attack}} stat.
* Regigigas, {{p|Magikarp}}, and {{p|Gyarados}} are the three {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that can be encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} at the lowest and highest levels.
** Regigigas is the lowest-[[level]]ed Legendary Pokémon that can be encountered in the wild, being level 1 when fought in {{game|Platinum}}.
** Regigigas also has the highest level of any scripted Pokémon encounter in the wild at level 100 in [[The Crown Tundra]], tied with the Shadow {{p|Giratina}} in [[Ramanas Park]] in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Regigigas has the widest [[walking Pokémon|overworld sprite]] of all Pokémon.
* Regigigas and {{p|Eternatus}} have very similar category names in Japanese, with the only difference being in how they're written: Regigigas's category name is in {{wp|hiragana}} (きょだいポケモン), while Eternatus's category name is in {{wp|katakana}} (キョダイポケモン). In either case, the category name is pronounced the same: {{tt|''Kyodai Pokémon''|Gigantic Pokémon}}.
* In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], Regigigas is the only Legendary Pokémon whose [[Research task (Legends: Arceus)|research tasks]] for the [[Pokédex]] do not involve seeing it use its [[signature move]].

===Origin===
Regigigas seems to be based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend. Specifically, Regigigas seems to have parallels to the Legendary Golem of Prague, whose immense power also intimidated people, and which ultimately resulted in it being subdued and sealed away. The seven eyes on Regigigas's face may be based on the {{wp|Braille alphabet}}, which was necessary to use in order to encounter the [[legendary giants]] for the first time in the [[Sealed Chamber]], possibly alluding to the writing placed on the forehead of Hebrew golems.

Alternatively, Regigigas may be based on the {{wp|Titan (mythology)|Titans}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}}, with it being sealed away likely being a reference to the aftermath of the {{wp|titanomachy}}, which resulted in the titans being imprisoned in the underworld.

Regigigas also shares some similarities with the {{wp|Daidarabotchi}}, a gigantic ''{{wp|yōkai}}''. Regigigas's Pokédex entries seem to reference the ''Kunibiki'' myth, which describes how {{wp|Omizunu|Oumitsunu}}, a demigod said to have the strength and size of a Daidarabotchi, pulled huge chunks of land via ropes to expand his kingdom.

Regigigas's three pairs of gems might represent its servant golems that were introduced before it: the red pair might represent {{p|Regirock}}, the blue pair might represent {{p|Regice}}, and the gray pair might represent {{p|Registeel}}. Its overall form also resembles that of a ''{{wp|headless men|Blemmyes}}''.

====Name origin====
Regigigas may be a combination of ''regis'' (Latin for royal) and ''gigas'' (Latin for giant).

'''Regirock''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジロック''' ''Regirock'') is a {{type|Rock}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

It is a member of the [[legendary giants]] along with {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regieleki}}, and {{p|Regidrago}}.

==Biology==
Regirock is a large golem-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} made of beige and orange rocks, granting it a {{a|Sturdy|durable}} physique. It has a pattern of seven orange dots on its face that resembles a capital letter "H". It has long arms with jutting shoulders and club-like hands without fingers. There is a line of orange rocky spines running down its back, and its legs are short in comparison to its body.

According to legend, Regirock was created by the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Regigigas}} using rocks. It used to be worshipped by [[Human|humans]], however, at some point, ancient people started fearing its power and sealed it away. In [[Hoenn]], it was sealed in the [[Desert Ruins]]; in [[Sinnoh]], it was sealed in the [[Rock Peak Ruins (Sinnoh)|Rock Peak Ruins]]; and in [[Galar]], it was sealed in the [[Rock Peak Ruins (Galar)|Rock Peak Ruins]]. When it gets damaged in battle, it will search for new rocks to repair itself. Because of this, the rocks it is made of come from several different places around the world, which contributes to Regirock's patchwork appearance. Recently, cutting-edge technology has found that Regirock is entirely made of stone and rock; not even a heart or a brain was found.

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Regirock M08.png|thumb|250px|Regirock in {{aniseries|AG}}]]
====Major appearances====
====={{DL|Legendary giants (M08)|Regirock|Regirock (M08)}}=====
Regirock debuted alongside the other members of its [[Legendary giants|trio]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. It is a guardian of the [[Tree of Beginning]], and it was the first to attack perceived intruders {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. In the end, Regirock and the other guardians realized they were not a danger and kept on with protecting the Tree of Beginning.

====={{DL|Brandon's legendary giants|Regirock|Brandon's Regirock}}=====
Regirock made its animated series debut in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', under the ownership of {{an|Brandon}}. He used his Regirock to battle Ash when he was being possessed by the [[King of Pokélantis]], and it was able to defeat {{AP|Sceptile}}. It reappeared in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', and was brought to [[Sinnoh]] in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' and ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]''.

=====Other=====
A Regirock appeared in ''[[JN088|Looking Out for Number Two!]]'', where it was confronted by [[Danika]] and [[Quillon]]. In ''[[JN113|Chasing to the Finish!]]'', it was revealed to have been successfully {{pkmn2|caught}} by them.

====Minor appearances====
In the opening sequence of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', a Regirock, Regice, and Registeel fired {{m|Hyper Beam}}s that combined into one.

In [[PK18]], a Regirock sent {{MTR}} and his cronies blasting off after they tried to move it out of their way.

A Regirock appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]''.

===GOTCHA!===
A Regirock briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Brandon Regirock Adventures.png|200px|thumb|Regirock in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Brandon's legendary giants#Pokémon Adventures|Brandon's Regirock}}
Regirock debuted in ''[[PS252|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV]]'', when [[Sidney]] attempted to open the [[Desert Ruins]]. Together, {{Steven}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} created a team consisting of four {{p|Beldum}} and Sapphire's {{DL|Sapphire (Adventures)|Relly|Relicanth}} and {{DL|Sapphire (Adventures)|Lorry|Wailord}}, thus opening up the chamber containing Regirock, as well as the other two [[Legendary giants|giants]], {{p|Registeel}} and {{p|Regice}}. Regirock used {{m|Superpower}} to stop {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} from spreading destruction. After the battle, it and the other two giants—left weak and powerless—traveled to the mountains, where they were later caught by [[Brandon]] shortly before the opening ceremony of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

Regirock was Brandon's first Pokémon during his battle with {{adv|Emerald}}, where it found {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}'s {{m|Leech Seed}} attack to be of minor annoyance and knocked it out right away with its {{m|Explosion}} attack. However, while the Pyramid King's attention was focused on {{adv|Jirachi}}'s light coming from the horizon, Emerald was able to revitalize the fainted Sceptile with a [[Revive]] and win the battle.

In ''[[PASS36|Rrmbll!! Serious Tower Battle]]'', [[Hop]], [[Marnie]], and [[Bede]] were revealed to have caught a Regirock at the [[Crown Tundra]] during one of their expeditions as part of [[Peony]]'s expedition team.

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
[[Candice]] owns a Regirock, along with the other two [[Legendary giants]]. She uses them against [[Hareta]] to test his worthiness to challenge {{TP|Hareta|Regigigas}} in ''[[DPA14|A Novel Test!!]]''.

==Trivia==
* In the international versions of {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there is an unobtainable Regirock Doll programmed into the game. It was unlockable with the Japan-exclusive ''Regi-Dolls Decoration set'' [[e-Reader]] card.
* Regirock's in-game footprint resembles a ''{{wp|Scarabaeus sacer}}'', a real-life insect that was considered sacred by {{wp|ancient Egypt}}ians.
* Regirock's base Attack and Special Attack, as well as Defense and Special Defense, are reverse of Regice's.
* Regirock is the first [[Legendary Pokémon]] to have been featured as a [[caught Pokémon]] in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.

===Origin===
Regirock may be based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened, or even killed in some legends. Regirock's face that consists of seven dots may be based on {{wp|Braille alphabet}} which was necessary to use to encounter the [[legendary giants]] for the first time in [[Sealed Chamber]].

The five legendary giants may be collectively themed after historical epochs, with Regirock representing the {{wp|Stone Age}}.

====Name origin====
Regirock may be a combination of ''regis'' (Latin for royal) and ''rock''.

'''Regice''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジアイス''' ''Regice'') is an {{type|Ice}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

It is a member of the [[legendary giants]] along with {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regieleki}}, and {{p|Regidrago}}.

==Biology==
Regice is a large, cyan {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of solid {{wp|Antarctic}} ice. Its body is composed of angular crystal-like shapes and its face has an unusual pattern consisting of seven yellow dots in a "+" formation. It has four spikes on its back and its two legs are conical and it balances its entire body on their points. There are three fingers on each of its pentagonal arms.

According to legend, Regice was created by the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Regigigas}} using ice from the {{wp|ice age}}. It used to be worshipped by [[Human|humans]], but at some point, they started fearing its power and sealed it away. In [[Hoenn]], it was sealed in the [[Island Cave]]; in [[Sinnoh]] and [[Galar]], it was sealed in the [[Iceberg Ruins (Sinnoh)|Iceberg]] [[Iceberg Ruins (Galar)|Ruins]]. Regice moves around by floating in the air. It cloaks itself in air that is −328 °F (−200 °C), and anything near it will become frozen solid. Its deep-frozen body can't be melted, even surviving when submerged in molten lava. It is said that Regice has slept in a glacier for thousands of years.

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Regice anime.png|thumb|250px|Regice in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
====Major appearances====
====={{DL|Legendary giants (M08)|Regice|Regice (M08)}}=====
Regice debuted alongside the other members of its [[Legendary giants|trio]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. It was a guardian of the [[Tree of Beginning]]. It first tried to attack {{Ash}}, but was stopped by {{OBP|Lucario|M08}}. In the end, it and the other guardians realized Ash and {{ashfr}} were not a threat and continued protecting the Tree of Beginning.

====={{DL|Brandon's legendary giants|Regice|Brandon's Regice}}=====
Regice made its animated series debut in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'' under the ownership of {{an|Brandon}}. He {{pkmn2|caught}} it at some point in-between the events of ''[[AG186|Overjoyed!]]'' and ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing!]]''. Brandon used it to battle {{AP|Pikachu}}, but lost after a tough match. Brandon brought Regice with him to Sinnoh in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' and ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]''.

=====Other=====
A Regice appeared in ''[[JN071|Leaping Toward the Dream!]]'', where Ash, [[Goh]], and [[Quillon]] encountered it on [[Mount Coronet]]. After Ash's Pikachu failed to beat it, Quillon easily defeated it with his {{p|Urshifu}}. Quillon promised to return for it in the future as part of a study regarding the origins of Pokémon. In ''[[JN113|Chasing to the Finish!]]'', he was revealed to have caught it.

====Minor appearances====
In the opening sequence of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', a Regice, Regirock, and Registeel fired {{m|Hyper Beam}}s that combined into one.

In [[PK18]], a Regice met Pikachu and {{MTR}}'s groups at the other side of an ice bridge and sent them into a lake.

A Regice appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]''.

====Pokédex entries====
{{Animedexheader|Emerald}}
{{Animedexbody|AG190|Regice|May's Pokédex|Regice, the Iceberg Pokémon. Formed in the {{wp|ice age}}, its body stays at a temperature of {{tt|minus 328 degrees|-200 degrees Celsius}} and cannot be melted, even by fire.}}

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Galar}}

===GOTCHA!===
A Regice briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Brandon Regice Adventures.png|150px|thumb|Regice in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Brandon's legendary giants#Pokémon Adventures|Brandon's Regice}}
Regice debuted in ''[[PS252|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV]]'', when [[Glacia]] was attempting to open the [[Island Cave]]. Together, {{Steven}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} created a team consisting of four {{p|Beldum}} and Sapphire's {{DL|Sapphire (Adventures)|Relly|Relicanth}} and {{DL|Sapphire (Adventures)|Lorry|Wailord}}, thus opening up the chamber containing Regice, as well as the other two [[Legendary giants|giants]], {{p|Regirock}} and {{p|Registeel}}. Regice used {{m|Superpower}} to stop {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} from spreading destruction. After the battle, it and the other two giants—left weak and powerless—traveled to the mountains, where they were later caught by [[Brandon]] shortly before the opening ceremony of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

Brandon used Regice in his battle with {{adv|Emerald}}. It defeated {{adv|Crystal}}'s [[Bonee|Cubone]], which Emerald had borrowed to use in the [[Battle Pyramid]]. However, Regice was subsequently defeated by [[Emerald's Sceptile]] and its {{m|Iron Tail}}.

In ''[[PASS36|Rrmbll!! Serious Tower Battle]]'', [[Hop]], [[Marnie]], and [[Bede]] were revealed to have caught a Regice at the [[Crown Tundra]] during one of their expeditions as part of [[Peony]]'s expedition team.

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
[[Candice]] owns a Regice, along with the other two [[legendary giants]]. She uses them against [[Hareta]] to test his worthiness to challenge {{TP|Hareta|Regigigas}} in ''[[DPA14|A Novel Test!!]]''.
{{-}}

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

==Trivia==
* Regice has the lowest base Attack stat of all [[Legendary Pokémon]] that do not evolve.
* Regice has the highest base Special Defense stat of all {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.
* In the international versions of {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there is an unobtainable Regice Doll programmed into the game. It was unlockable with the Japan-exclusive ''Regi-Dolls Decoration set'' [[e-Reader]] card.
* Regice shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Avalugg}}. They are both known as the Iceberg Pokémon.
* Regice's base Attack and Special Attack, as well as Defense and Special Defense, are reverse of Regirock's.

===Origin===
Regice may be based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened, or even killed in some legends. Regice's face that consists of seven dots may be based on {{wp|Braille alphabet}} which was necessary to use to encounter the [[legendary giants]] for the first time in [[Sealed Chamber]]. The geometrical shapes that make Regice's body resemble naturally occurring {{wp|crystal}}s.

The five legendary giants may be collectively themed after historical epochs, with Regice representing the {{wp|Pleistocene|Ice Age}}.

====Name origin====
Regice may be a combination of ''regis'' (Latin for royal) and ''ice''.

'''Registeel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジスチル''' ''Registeel'') is a {{type|Steel}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

It is a member of the [[legendary giants]] along with {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Regieleki}}, and {{p|Regidrago}}.

==Biology==
Registeel is a large robotic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Most of Registeel's body is spherical and silver while the middle of its face has the appearance of being exposed as it shows black "skin" and is surrounded by raised metal. Registeel's lower half is disc-like in shape and has two cylindrical legs without toes. Its face consists of seven red dots in a hexagonal formation, and it has black arms with three fingers each that are connected to its upper half by gray hemispherical shoulders. The backs of its hands have three red triangles pointing away from the fingers.

According to legend, Registeel was created by the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Regigigas}} using magma. It used to be worshipped by [[Human|humans]], however, at some point, ancient people started fearing its power and sealed it away. In [[Hoenn]], it was sealed in the [[Ancient Tomb]]; in [[Sinnoh]], it was sealed in the [[Iron Ruins (Sinnoh)|Iron Ruins]]; and in [[Galar]], it was sealed in the [[Iron Ruins (Galar)|Iron Ruins]]. Registeel's body is hollow and made of a material that is harder than any other known metal found on [[Pokémon world|earth]]. However, this material stretches and shrinks despite its hardness. Tempered by pressure {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|underground}} over tens of thousands of years, its body cannot be scratched. It is also rumored that Registeel was born deep underground in the planet's mantle and that it emerged onto the surface 10,000 years ago. It is unknown what it can eat.

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Brandon Registeel.png|thumb|250px|Registeel in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
====Major appearances====
====={{DL|Legendary giants (M08)|Registeel|Registeel (M08)}}=====
In ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', Registeel was a [[Legendary giants|guardian]] of the [[Tree of Beginning]]. Registeel first attacked {{TRT}}, but when they tried to flee, it attacked {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} too. After everyone was saved by {{OBP|Mew|M08}}, Registeel and the other guardians realized they were not a danger and left to continue their duties.

====={{DL|Brandon's legendary giants|Registeel|Brandon's Registeel}}=====
Registeel made its animated series debut in ''[[AG186|Overjoyed!]]'', in which {{an|Brandon}} used his Registeel against Ash and {{AP|Torkoal}} at the [[Battle Pyramid]], eventually winning after a tough battle. In ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', it and {{DL|Brandon's legendary giants|Regirock}} blasted off Team Rocket. Brandon brought Registeel to [[Sinnoh]] with him in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' and ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]''.

=====Other=====
In ''[[JN113|Chasing to the Finish!]]'', [[Quillon]] confronted a Registeel at the [[Galar]] [[region]]'s {{gal|Iron Ruins}} and {{pkmn2|caught}} it for [[Project Mew]].

====Minor appearances====
Registeel debuted in the opening sequence of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

In the opening sequence of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', a Registeel, Regirock, and Regice fired {{m|Hyper Beam}}s that combined into one.

In [[PK18]], a Registeel sent {{MTR}} and his cronies blasting off after they mistook him for a floating Pokémon.

A Registeel appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]''.

====Pokédex entries====
{{Animedexheader|Emerald}}
{{Animedexbody|AG186|Registeel|May's Pokédex|Registeel, the Iron Pokémon. Its body is harder than any metal found upon {{pkmn|world|this planet}}. Its body is also hollow, and its {{pkmn|food}} source remains a mystery.}}

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Sinnoh}}

===GOTCHA!===
A Registeel briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Brandon Registeel Adventures.png|170px|thumb|Registeel in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Brandon's legendary giants#Pokémon Adventures|Brandon's Registeel}}
Registeel debuted in ''[[PS252|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV]]'', when [[Drake]] attempted to open the [[Ancient Tomb]]. Together, {{Steven}} and {{Adv|Sapphire}} created a team consisting of four {{p|Beldum}} and Sapphire's {{DL|Sapphire (Adventures)|Relly|Relicanth}} and {{DL|Sapphire (Adventures)|Lorry|Wailord}}, thus opening up the chamber containing Registeel, as well as the other two [[Legendary giants|giants]], {{p|Regirock}} and {{p|Regice}}. Registeel used {{m|Superpower}} to stop {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} from spreading destruction. After the battle, it and the other two giants—left weak and powerless—traveled to the mountains, where they were later caught by [[Brandon]] shortly before the opening ceremony of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

Brandon used Registeel first in his battle with {{adv|Emerald}}, where it squared off against the [[Monlee|Hitmonchan]] the boy borrowed from {{adv|Crystal}}. Though Registeel took considerable damage from the accumulation of many {{m|Fire Punch}}es and was eventually beaten by a strong {{m|Sky Uppercut}} attack, it managed to cause its opponent to faint as well with a clever {{m|Toxic}} maneuver.

In ''[[PASS36|Rrmbll!! Serious Tower Battle]]'', [[Hop]], [[Marnie]], and [[Bede]] were revealed to have caught a Registeel at the [[Crown Tundra]] during one of their expeditions as part of [[Peony]]'s expedition team.

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
Registeel, along with the other two [[legendary giants]], are seen under the possession of [[Candice]]. She uses them against [[Hareta]] to test his worthiness to challenge {{TP|Hareta|Regigigas}} in ''[[DPA14|A Novel Test!!]]''.
{{-}}

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Registeel appears as an occasional stage hazard in the {{DL|Pokémon League (Kalos)|Ironworks Chamber}} of the {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}} stage. Appearing rarely, it will use {{m|Stomp}} to dislodge the swords embedded in the stage, causing them to fly upwards and damage fighters. Grounded characters will also take damage from Stomp.

====Trophy information====
''This Steel-type Pokémon's hollow body is made out of an ultrahard metal, forged under pressure over thousands of years underground. It can appear in the Kalos Pokémon League stage, in the Elite Four's Steel-type chamber. Its Stomp attack will launch fighters on the ground, and even the giant swords mounted on the stage!''

==Trivia==
* In the non-English European versions of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Registeel's sprite was edited because of its arm. The arm's original position is reminiscent of the {{wp|Nazi}} {{wp|Nazi salute|salute}}. In {{game|Platinum}}, the sprite was changed for all regions to the continental European variation (which would be retained in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}).
** This also makes Registeel the only Pokémon whose [[Pokéwalker]] sprite is not its Diamond and Pearl one (not counting alternate forms of Pokémon that were introduced in Platinum).
* In the international versions of {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there is an unobtainable Registeel Doll programmed into the game. It was unlockable with the Japan-exclusive ''Regi-Dolls Decoration set'' [[e-Reader]] card.
* Registeel is tied with {{p|Probopass}} and [[Hisuian form|Hisuian]] {{p|Goodra}} for the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.
* Registeel shares both its standard and hidden {{Abilities}} with the {{p|Beldum}} evolutionary line.
* Registeel is the only [[Legendary giants|legendary giant]]:
** To not have one of its base [[stat]]s reach 200.
** To have base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats that are not multiples of 10.
===Origin===
Registeel may be based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened, or even killed in some legends. Given its metallic construction, it may also be based on a {{wp|humanoid robot}}. Registeel's face that consists of seven dots may be based on {{wp|Braille alphabet}} which was necessary to use to encounter the [[legendary giants]] for the first time in [[Sealed Chamber]].

The five legendary giants may be collectively themed after historical epochs, with Registeel representing the {{wp|Iron Age}}.

====Name origin====
Registeel may be a combination of ''regis'' (Latin for royal) and ''steel''.

'''Mawile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クチート''' ''Kucheat'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Mawile can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Mawile''' using the [[Mawilite]].

==Biology==
Mawile is a short, bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a pale yellow body. Its three-fingered hands and two-toed feet are black. It has red eyes and a pair of long, black, ear-like extensions on either side of its head. Its legs resemble a {{wp|hakama}}. Its most notable feature is a pair of large black jaws emerging from the back of its head. These jaws have a yellow, oval-shaped spot on their top surface. They contain ten sharp, metallic teeth—six on the top row and four on the bottom. While the jaws are actually transformed steel horns, Mawile can articulate them at will, using them to bite enemies with enough force to break an iron beam. These jaws are incapable of tasting, leading Mawile to use them to eat food it does not like.

Mawile is typically found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}. It uses its non-threatening facial appearance to make foes underestimate it, then attacks with its giant jaws, sometimes swallowing its prey whole. When engaged in battle, Mawile usually has its back turned to the enemy to make better use of its jaws. As mentioned in [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Mawile tends to sleep while hugging its jaws occasionally. It is unknown whether it's a trap or not, unless one takes a closer look. Mawile has four different sleep styles it sleeps in: ''Flattened Sleep'', ''Jaw-Swinging Sleep'', ''Jaw-Hugging Sleep'', and ''Atop-Belly Sleep''.

===Forms===
Mawile can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Mawile.

Mega Mawile now has two sets of jaws protruding from the back of its head, and both sets have a spiky tuft of hair. It also seems to be able to control the jaws independently of one another.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mawile</ref> The ear-like extensions on its head are longer and have tips with two points. Its legs have grown longer, and its "hakama" is now magenta. Its arms now resemble thick sleeves, with magenta markings around the wrists. Mega Mawile's strength has {{a|Huge Power|dramatically risen}} from its previous form, and it can use both its jaws to grip on prey and tear them apart. These jaws thrash around violently.

====Major appearances====
Mawile made its animated series debut in ''[[AG105|Once in a Mawile]]'', under the ownership of [[Samantha]]. It had a crush on [[Brock's Lombre]], but Lombre didn't reciprocate its feelings.

It was always seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside its Poké Ball]].

In ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]'', [[Mabel]] owns a Mawile that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. She used it in a fight against [[Korrina's Lucario]]. Due to Mega Lucario unable to control itself, Mega Mawile was easily able to win.

In ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]'', [[Count Pumpka]] [[trade]]d his Mawile to [[Jessie]] for her {{p|Pumpkaboo}}. After Pumpkaboo evolved into {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}}, Mawile was traded back to Count Pumpka.

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

== Others ==

=== [[MELLOMELLOID]] ===
Mawile, alongside many other Fairy-type Pokémon, appears in the music video for the song "[https://youtu.be/TFpizvPDbec?si=kju3QG_MwE3uGTpx MELLOMELLOID]" ('''メロメロイド)''', composed by Vocaloid producer Kairiki Bear for the [[Pokémon feat. Hatsune Miku Project VOLTAGE 18 Types/Songs]]. Mawile's cute nature concealing its large jaws is reflected in the song through an idol who acts cutesy and friendly in order to trick a romantic partner close to her, before revealing her true nature, showing that she has been lying all this time to trap someone. The symbolism is further reinforced by Miku's twintails and color palette being stylized to ressemble Mawile's jaw, and later on Mega Mawile's two jaws.

==Trivia==
* Mawile's [[footprint]] is different between the [[Generation III]] {{pkmn|games}} ([[File:F303gen3.png]]) and the [[Generation IV]] games ([[File:F303.png]]).
* Since Mawile's back faces its opponent in battles, it uniquely uses its "back" sprite in [[Pokémon Musical]]s.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Mawile}}
Mawile may have been based on the Japanese legend of the ''{{wp|futakuchi-onna}}'', a woman with a mouth in the back of her head. Artistic depictions of the ''futakuchi-onna'' commonly depict her eating {{wp|mochi}} through her "back-mouth", which could explain Mega Mawile's [[Huge Power]] ability, as the ability's Japanese name — ちからもち (''chikaramochi'') — is a pun, being readable as both "muscleman" and "strengthening mochi". It may also be influenced by ''{{wp|ouni}}'', a demon with a torn mouth and a body covered in hair that lives in the mountains.

Its mouth resembles a {{wp|Trapping#Foothold traps|bear-trap}}, which may explain its unexpected {{t|Steel}} typing. This design choice might also align with its classification as the "Deceiver" Pokémon, using misdirection in its typing. Additionally, the Steel type could be a nod to the "silk hiding steel" metaphor.

====Name origin====
Mawile may be a combination of ''{{wp|maw}}'' (jaws of a voracious animal) and ''wile'' (cunning stratagem) or ''smile''.

Kucheat may be a combination of 口 ''kuchi'' (mouth) and ''cheat'' or ''eat''.
