'''Fillet Away''' (Japanese: '''みをけずる''' ''Cut to the Bone'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IX]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Veluza}}.

==Effect==
Fillet Away deducts half of the user's maximum [[HP]] (rounded down) from its current HP and, in return, it raises the user's {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}} stats by two stages each.

Fillet Away fails if the user's current HP is less than or equal to half its maximum, or if the user's aforementioned stats are all at +6 stages.

==Description==

{{movebtm|type=normal|user=Veluza (Pokémon)|user1=A wild Veluza|startcode=HZ156|startname=HZ156|notes=Debut}}

==Trivia==
* The move's Japanese name, みをけずる (Mi o Kezuru), which can be translated literally as "to chip away at one's body," has the figurative meaning of "enduring severe hardships," generally in order to achieve a goal.<ref>[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E8%BA%AB%E3%82%92%E5%89%8A%E3%82%8B 身を削る at Wiktionary, the free dictionary]</ref>
** Similarly, the move's European Spanish name, ''Deslome'', can be understood as both "cutting fish fillets" or "wearing one's back out," normally from working too hard.

(Japanese: '''テツロンタウン''' ''Lake Zugogo'') is an {{pkmn|animated series}}-exclusive Lake located in the [[Paldea]] region.

[[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], [[Ult]], and [[Navie]] visited Lake Zugogo to let the {{p|Tatsugiri}} that resided on the [[Brave Olivine]] swim. Whilst there, they came across a large rock that broke, revealing itself to be a {{p|Dondozo}}. Shortly afterwards, a {{p|Veluza}} started to cause trouble by attacking them. The young [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] returned to the Brave Olivine with the Tatsugiri and discussed the situation with [[Murdock]].

Returning to the lake the next day, they discovered the Veluza was still causing trouble and the Tatsugiri teamed up with the Dondozo and were able to defeat it. Murdock decided the Tatsugiri were happy living there with the Dondozo so they left them behind.

'''Tatsugiri''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シャリタツ''' ''Syaritatsu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Tatsugiri has three [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Curly Form''', '''Droopy Form''', and '''Stretchy Form''', which can all [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Tatsugiri''' using the [[Tatsugirinite]]. Mega Tatsugiri was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

Tatsugiri interacts with {{p|Dondozo}} in [[Double Battle]]s via its [[signature Ability]], {{a|Commander}}, and Dondozo's [[signature move]], {{m|Order Up}}.

==Biology==
Tatsugiri is a small, piscine, dragon Pokémon that comes in three forms, which all share the same base physiology: a cylindrical body sitting above a white throat sac that resembles a bed of rice when inflated, two large eyes, long pectoral fins, a wavy dorsal fin, and a split tail fin.

Although small and relatively weak, Tatsugiri is an intelligent, thoroughly cunning Pokémon. It uses its sharp intellect to assess its chances of winning a battle, namely by feinging weakness or playing dead, and if it cannot win, it will flee. In order to overcome its vulnerability, Tatsugiri teams up with {{p|Dondozo}}, who takes it as its boss, following Tatsugiri's orders and providing it with protection and shelter in exchange for a greater chance of catching {{pkmn|predation|prey}}. When hunting, Tatsugiri plays dead or leans into its unsuspecting side to attract potential prey, mainly bird Pokémon, and then commands Dondozo to attack.<ref>''"It ambushes {{p|Flamigo}} from behind after Tatsugiri lures them in."'' - ''[[Pokécology]]'', page 79</ref> The interaction between the two Pokémon is so beneficial that Tatsugiri will even clash among themselves in order to get to partner with a particular Dondozo. Dondozo also serves as a home that Tatsugiri usually lives in.<ref>''"Tatsugiri usually live inside a {{p|Dondozo}}'s mouth, keeping themselves safe from enemies."'' - ''[[Pokécology]]'', page 79</ref> Tatsugiri's throat sac serves multiple purposes, allowing it to camouflage with its surroundings, and can be used to escape a predator's mouth if swallowed whole by inflating it.

A {{pkmn2|giant}} Tatsugiri and a giant Dondozo that live at [[Paldea]]'s [[Casseroya Lake]], feeding on [[Spicy Herba Mystica]], are known as the [[Titan Pokémon|False Dragon Titan]].

Tatsugiri is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Commander}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Tatsugiri has three forms: Curly Form, Droopy Form, and Stretchy Form. It is said that its forms are an adaptation to suit the preferences of its prey. All three of them can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Tatsugiri.

====Curly Form====
Curly Form Tatsugiri is mostly orange and often assumes an upcurled stance. It has splotches of dark orange on the upper side of its body and on the tips of its pectoral fins, as well as a white underbelly.

====Droopy Form====
Droopy Form Tatsugiri is mostly magenta and tends to droop on its throat sac. Its underbelly, dorsal fin, and the tips of its pectoral fins are white.

====Stretchy Form====
Stretchy Form Tatsugiri is a solid yellow. Unlike the other forms, its body sits straight and horizontally.

|}
|}

====Mega Tatsugiri====
As a result of Mega Evolution, Mega Tatsugiri consists of three Tatsugiri, one of each form, riding upon a pink and blue dish shaped like the Mega Evolution symbol. The central Tatsugiri on the dish will always be the same form of the Tatsugiri that Mega Evolved and is distinguished by the roe-shaped crown on its head, while the other two are copies it created. Overall, the three Tatsugiri are left mostly unchanged, only becoming longer and their dorsal fins changing from a single wavy fin to a row of three. A row of green and blue spikes divide the central Tatsugiri from the copies; when Mega Tatsugiri attacks, the spikes can extend outward.

Mega Tatsugiri's brain has been further enhanced by Mega Evolution, making it exceptionally clever. It can command its copies to assist it in battle and can also solidify the energy from Mega Evolution, enabling it to create its dish and generate an endless supply of exploding roe-shaped projectiles. By riding upon its dish, Mega Tatsugiri gains the freedom to move anywhere it desires, including through the air.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: Tatsugiri, known as the False Dragon Titan, is a minor character and a boss encounter in the games. It became a [[Titan Pokémon]] after consuming some [[Herba Mystica]].
** The {{player}} and [[Arven]] eventually found it in [[Casseroya Lake]] to find the [[Spicy Herba Mystica|Herba Mystica it guards]], however, its partner, {{p|Dondozo}} swallowed and rescued it, fighting them in its place. After Dondozo's defeat, Tatsugiri finally reappeared, being defeated as well and being forced to flee. After both took the Herba Mystica, Tatsugiri became a normal-sized Pokémon once again. After this, it can be rematched in its original location, and will have the [[Mark|Titan Mark]] when captured.

===Form data===
Tatsugiri has three different non-interchangeable forms: Curly Form (which is orange), Droopy Form (which is magenta), and Stretchy Form (which is yellow), each with different colors, fin shapes, and patterns on their bodies. When {{p|Dondozo}} uses the move {{m|Order Up}} after Tatsugiri has entered its mouth using its [[Ability]] {{a|Commander}}, the [[stat]] boost that Dondozo gains is based on the Tatsugiri form in its mouth, with Curly Form increasing {{stat|Attack}}, Droopy Form increasing {{stat|Defense}}, and Stretchy Form increasing {{stat|Speed}}.

===Concept and development===
Tatsugiri and its {{Shiny}} forms were designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1634467575898710017 James Turner on Twitter]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1634470202250342402 James Turner on Twitter]</ref>

===Origin===
Tatsugiri appears to be based on {{wp|sushi}}, specifically the ''{{wp|nigirizushi}}'' (also known as nigiri), a type of sushi pressed by hand, instead of rolled. Curly Form resembles a {{wp|Shrimp and prawn as food|shrimp}} (''ebi'') nigiri, Droopy Form resembles a {{wp|Tuna as food|tuna}} (''maguro'') nigiri, and Stretchy Form resembles an egg (''tamago'') or herring roe (''{{wp|kazunoko}}'') nigiri. Likewise, {{Shiny}} Curly Form resembles a freshwater eel (''{{wp|unagi}}'') nigiri, Shiny Droopy Form resembles a halibut (''{{wp|hirame}}''), {{wp|Squid as food|squid}} (''ika''), or Japanese butterfish (''{{wp|Pacific rudderfish|ibodai}}'') nigiri, and Shiny Stretchy Form resembles a {{wp|Salmon as food|salmon}} nigiri. Tatsugiri also somewhat resembles the {{wp|koi}} fish, which, like Tatsugiri, has many colored varieties.

Tatsugiri's habit of entering Dondozo's mouth is a possible reference to {{wp|Mouthbrooder|mouthbrooding}}, a parenting style performed by many species of fish where the parent fish will keep their offspring safe by holding them inside their mouth. Tatsugiri's hunting methods may also be a reference to {{wp|fishing lure}}s and {{wp|fishing bait}}. Tatsugiri and Dondozo's synergy together seems to reference the common [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrainsAndBrawn "brains and brawn" team-up] trope in media, as Tatsugiri is physically weak but highly intelligent, and acts as the boss for the physically powerful but less intelligent Dondozo.

Alternatively, this habit may also hint at Tatsugiri being partially inspired by parasitic isopods, such as the {{wp|Cymothoa exigua|tongue-eating louse}}, which attaches itself to the tongues of fish for sustenance. Its appearance may reference the parasitic isopod of the ''{{wp|Rocinela}}'' genus that went viral in Japan in 2021 [https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/creature-looks-like-salmon-sushi/ for resembling a ''nigirizushi''].

The 司 (''shi'') kanji in 寿司 (Sushi) can also be translated as commander, making it an another possible pun-based origin for Tatsugiri & Dondozo's relationship as well as Tatsugiri's [[signature Ability]], {{a|Commander}}.

Tatsugiri's Dragon type may be a reference to the East Asian cultural association of koi (and carp in general) with dragons. Curly Form's curved posture may also be a reference to {{wp|Shachihoko}}, a sea monster with the head of a dragon and the body of a koi. Tatsugiri's {{wp|Sarcopterygii|lobed fins}} and its ability to walk on land may be inspired by {{wp|lungfish}}es and lungfish-like species like ''{{wp|Polypterus senegalus}}'', sometimes known as "dragonfish".

Mega Tatsugiri resembles a 3-piece dish of ''nigirizushi'' served on a platter and separated with ''[[jwp:ハラン (植物)#人造バラン|baran]],'' a green plastic garnish resembling [[wp:Aspidistra elatior|cast-iron plant]] leaves which is commonly found in bento and sushi boxes. The "platter" also resembles the Mega Evolution symbol. The central Tatsugiri appears to have [[wp:Red_caviar|salmon roe]] on top of its head.

====Name origin====
Tatsugiri may be a combination of 竜 ''tatsu'' (Japanese for dragon) and 握り寿司 ''{{wp|nigirizushi}}''.

Syaritatsu may be a combination of シャリ ''shari'' (sushi rice) and 竜 ''tatsu''.

==Plot==
The young [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] happily welcome [[Friede]], with [[Navie]] nervously greeting him for the first time. They prepare to head out for fieldwork alongside Friede, but first, another [[Pokémon Professor]] joins them: [[Professor Willow]], Friede's old friend and a researcher specializing in studying Pokémon ecology and distribution. Given the Rising Volt Tacklers' reputation of having seen many different kinds of Pokémon, he's excited to work alongside them. Willow and Friede lead the children to what's known as a [[PokéStop]], several of which have been installed in the area to help in [[Field Research]]. [[Captain Pikachu]] hits the center of the PokéStop, causing {{i|Poké Ball}}s and [[Razz Berry|Razz Berries]] to fall out. After [[Ult]] tries another PokéStop out of excitement and gets the same kind of loot from it, Willow demonstrates another feature of the PokéStop by attaching a [[Lure Module]] into it, causing nearby [[wild Pokémon]] to be drawn towards it. Willow presents the children with a map of the surrounding woods and a nearby beach, asking them to {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} Pokémon they find in the area using the Berries and Balls they've gotten, also assuring them that he'll take care of any Pokémon they find.

The children spread out to begin their work. Ult spots a {{p|Toedscool}} that he decides to catch, but his thrown Poké Ball misses the target. He ignores Roy's reminder of using a Berry, like they were adviced to do, but does agree to follow Friede's hint of aiming for the head; however, Toedscool, now aware of Ult's presence, dodges the second throw as well. With Ult out of Poké Balls, he's forced to go find a PokéStop to restock, allowing Toedscool to get away. Upon finding a PokéStop, Ult finds Navie trying and failing to spin it. The reason for this turns out to be a {{a|Color Change|camouflaged}} {{p|Kecleon}}, which are known to hide on PokéStops. Ult decides to catch it, but as he still doesn't have any Poké Balls on hand, he's unable to do so, giving Kecleon the chance to run away. [[Liko]] and [[Dot]], meanwhile, are having some better success, successfully catching a {{p|Bounsweet}} and a {{p|Paras}}, respectively. Roy, at his own front, has managed to find an {{p|Oranguru}}, which appears to be a local boss Pokémon and is ignoring the Razz Berries Roy throws for it. To help him, Willow gives Roy a [[Golden Razz Berry]], which proves too tempting for Oranguru to ignore. While its guard is down, Roy throws a Poké Ball, but Oranguru succeeds in deflecting it. As such, Roy decides throwing a curve ball the next time. While Oranguru succeeds in deflecting this throw too, Roy uses the help of {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} and his fire bird to deflect the Ball right back at Oranguru, who's too late to react this time and is successfully caught, earning congratulations from his friends and making Ult consider using his [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Ult|Sableye}}'s gem as a deflector too.

The group decides to move on to the beach, where they discover a [[mass outbreak]] of {{p|Shellder}}. Ult throws a Razz Berry at one and tries to catch it while it's eating the Berry, but it finishes eating faster than Ult expected and catches the Ball, spitting it out before trying to flee. Ult chases after it, but Shellder's attention quickly refocuses on a {{p|Slowpoke}} tail sticking out of the nearby [[tall grass]], so it slings itself at the tail and clamps on it, causing Slowpoke to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Slowbro}}. Willow speculates that the mass outbreak could be a result of the Shellder gathering to find Slowpoke. When Navie's {{p|Ditto}} {{m|transform}}s into Slowpoke, one Shellder mistakes it for a real Slowpoke and clamps on it, but it becomes confused when the expected Evolution does not occur. Navie uses this confusion to her advantage and quickly catches Shellder. Ult, growing irritated when everyone else but him keeps succeeding, runs off to catch something. As Navie also heads out to look for more Pokémon, {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} spots a {{p|Wiglett}} poking out of the sand and points it out to Liko. Meowscarada's repeated and failed attempts at grabbing Wiglett as it pops up and down out of the sand produces a rhythm that Skeledirge and {{TP|Dot|Quaquaval}} join in on. The rhythm ends up being so catchy that Meowscarada and Wiglett also join in, giving Liko the chance to catch the {{pkmn|category|Garden Eel Pokémon}}.

Looking around for more Pokémon, Navie hears something in a nearby patch of tall grass, but instead of a wild Pokémon, it turns out to be a young boy, who's in the process of trying to catch a {{p|Fletchling}}. Unfortunately, Fletchling ends up spotting him, causing him to panic and throw his Poké Ball without a proper aim, allowing Fletchling to deflect it right back at him and fly away. Upon hearing that the boy does not have any Pokémon yet, Navie offers to show him how to catch a Pokémon, but her attempt at catching a {{p|Gossifleur}} ends in failure, causing both children to laugh. Introductions are made, with the boy introducing himself as [[Gōta]] from a nearby town. The rest of the group catches up with Navie and hears Gōta's story as well. Friede assures the young boy that catching is a twist of fate and that his first Pokémon will definitely come to him in response to his passion. While the Rising Volt Tacklers later gather at their campsite and Professor Willow thanks everyone for their help with big piles of {{GO|Candy}}, Navie can't stop thinking about Gōta, wondering if he's succeeded in catching his first Pokémon yet, sympathizing with him due to wanting him to experience the same joy she experienced upon meeting Ditto. Reminded of Friede's earlier words of encouragement, the children wonder if he experienced something like that too upon meeting his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} for the first time. Friede confirms this and starts telling the children a story of a time when he was younger than any of them.
[[File:Kid Friede and Charmander.png|thumb|left|250px|Friede choosing Charmander to be his first Pokémon]]
A young Friede rushes to [[Friede's school|school]], arriving late to a class taught by his teacher, [[Lucca]]. While the other students present each other with the Pokémon they have, Friede's interest lies elsewhere, spending his time in making sketches to improve his homemade {{wp|Hang gliding|hang glider}}. His friend and classmate, [[Orla]], asks him if he's chosen his first Pokémon yet, but Friede hasn't given any thought to that, being more interested in pursuing his dream of becoming a pilot than learning about Pokémon. After school, he goes to resume testing his glider at a nearby grassy hill, where his actions and goggles catch the attention of a wild {{p|Charmander}}. Following a glide where he breaks his personal record, Friede is approached by Charmander, which proceeds to nab his goggles and run away with them. Friede pursues through a forest, where he sees many different Pokémon and comes to realize how little he knows about them, despite living right next to them. He eventually finds Charmander again, seeing it wear his goggles as it runs down a hill and jumps, mimicking his glides before tumbling back down. Realizing they share the same dream of flying, Friede catches Charmander following another fall and asks it to come with him to realize their shared dream together. Charmander happily agrees, so Friede goes to show Charmander to Lucca, who's happy to see Friede having made a new friend and gives him a Poké Ball that he uses to officially catch Charmander. Following that, Friede's interest in Pokémon only grew over time, as did Charmander as it evolved into a {{p|Charmeleon}} and later a Charizard, allowing them to finally fly together. Eventually, Friede set his sights on becoming a Pokémon Professor and succeeded, his world having expanded thanks to him meeting Charizard.

Friede concludes his story, but the children barely have any time to admire the tale they just heard before Willow suddenly exclaims that there's still one nearby area left for them to research. While caught by surprise, the group decides to nevertheless tackle this one last bit of research before bedtime. The next morning, while Willow is once again thanking the children for their help, Navie spots Gōta nearby, looking at the same Fletchling he had his eyes on the day before. Fletchling approaches Gōta and allows him to catch it, becoming his first Pokémon. Navie congratulates Gōta, as does Willow, wishing good luck to the brand-new [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Later, Liko, Roy, Dot, Ult, and Navie part ways with Friede and Willow as the two Professors head out to do more research together, while the children run off along the road, also excited to see what kind of Pokémon they'll meet next.

'''Chien-Pao''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パオジアン''' ''Paojian'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Ice}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

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

Along with {{p|Wo-Chien}}, {{p|Ting-Lu}}, and {{p|Chi-Yu}}, Chien-Pao is a member of the [[treasures of ruin]].

==Biology==
Chien-Pao is a quadrupedal, pantherine Pokémon with an elongated body composed of snow. Ice crystals run down its back and legs, and also forms its claws, eyes, and whiskers. Its large fangs, tipped with ice, comprise two pieces of a broken, ornately patterned sword. The sword's blade, which narrows slightly near the tip, forms its left fang; while the sword's hilt forms its right fang. The broken ends of the sword halves jut through Chien-Pao's upper jaw.

Like the other treasures of ruin, Chien-Pao's true form is that of the broken sword forming its fangs, having been given life by the hatred of people slain by those who wielded it long ago, while its body is a form it has constructed using its control over ice and snow. As seen in the {{aniseries|HZ}} episode [[HZ155]], small pieces of Chien-Pao's body may break if it sustains damage in battle, but it is able to restore its form and health with snow. Chien-Pao can control up to 100 tons of fallen snow, causing avalanches with the intent of playing around in them. It possesses the power to {{a|Sword of Ruin|weaken the defenses}} of its opponents.<ref>[[Pokémon Deluxe Character Guide]], page 293</ref> It is known as the Sword of Ruin.

Chien-Pao and the other treasures of ruin are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Ruination}}. Chien-Pao is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Sword of Ruin}} as an [[Ability]].

==In animation==

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====Chien-Pao (recurring)=====
Chien-Pao debuted in [[HZ153]], having been unintentionally unsealed from the [[Icerend Shrine]] by [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]. It was first seen when [[Roy]] found and confronted it, only to be defeated. It reappeared in the [[HZ154|next episode]], where Roy confronted it again. In [[HZ155]], it battled Roy's [[party|team]], until it reunited with the other treasures of ruin and started fighting them instead. The battle was eventually stopped thanks to the arrival of {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}, who managed to get them to calm down, after which the treasures of ruin departed once more.

Chien-Pao's known moves are {{m|Ruination}}, {{m|Avalanche}}, {{m|Ice Fang}}, and {{m|Icicle Crash}}, and its [[Ability]] is {{a|Sword of Ruin}}.

====Minor appearances====
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Chien-Pao, along with the other [[treasures of ruin]], appeared in a fantasy in ''[[PASV13|Ruin! The Client, Raifort!!]]''.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Chien-Pao (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Chien-Pao has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Chien-Pao and the other [[treasures of ruin]] are the first Pokémon whose [[base stats]] were adjusted via a {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Version history|patch}} to the game.
* Chien-Pao is one of the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon, the other ones being {{p|Snom}} and {{form|Rotom|Frost}} {{p|Rotom}}, to not be able to learn {{m|Ice Beam}}.

===Origin===
Chien-Pao may be based on the {{wp|snow leopard}} and the prehistoric ''{{wp|Smilodon}}'', one of the most well-known true saber-toothed cats. It also may be inspired by {{wp|Nimravidae|nimravids}} such as ''{{wp|Dinictis}}'' and ''{{wp|Hoplophoneus}}'', {{wp|saber-toothed predator}}s with elongated bodies closely related to {{wp|felid}}s. The pieces of a sword that it uses as fangs may have been inspired by bronze swords, particularly the ''{{wp|jian}}'' (double-edged straight sword); and they may make Chien-Pao a literal interpretation of a "saber-toothed cat".

The {{wp|weasel}}- or {{wp|linsang}}-like shape of its form likely alludes to the {{wp|Fu (tally)|tiger tally}} (虎符 ''hǔfú''), the proof of imperial authorization in ancient China for implementation of troop orders. Most examples of the tiger tally depict a stylized tiger long and crouching.

Chien-Pao and the other treasures of ruin may be based on the {{wp|Four Perils}} of Chinese mythology. Specifically, Chien-Pao may be based on 窮奇 / 穷奇 ''Qióngqí'', a vicious tiger-like creature said to feed upon the flesh of righteous men, and was later identified as the prototype of ''{{wp|kamaitachi}}'' in Japanese folklore, hence Chien-Pao's similar stats and identical typing to {{p|Weavile}}. It may also be partly inspired by the 檮杌 / 梼杌 ''Táowù'', another of the Four Perils known for its large tusks as well as having a {{wp|Taowu liui|genus of saber-toothed cats}} named after it.

Chien-Pao's {{Shiny}} coloring might allude to how the fur coat in some mammals living in icy areas, such as the {{wp|arctic fox}}, changes from white to brownish in warmer seasons.

====Name origin====
Chien-Pao and Paojian may be a combination of 劍 / 剑 ''jiàn'' (Chinese for sword) or 寶劍 / 宝剑 ''bǎojiàn'' (Chinese for treasure sword) and 豹 ''bào'' (Chinese for leopard). The English name is formatted in {{wp|Wade–Giles}}, a romanization system used in the Anglosphere for most of the 20th century.

'''Koraidon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コライドン''' ''Koraidon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Koraidon is said to be either an ancestor of {{p|Cyclizar}} or a version of it from a parallel timeline. It also has a futuristic counterpart, {{p|Miraidon}}.

Koraidon can [[#Form data|change forms]] as it traverses varying terrain and adapts to different situations.
*When it is at full strength and in a {{pkmn|battle}}, it is in its '''Apex Build'''.
*Outside of a battle or when it has little power, it is in its '''Limited Build'''.
*When it is sprinting on the land, it is in its '''Sprinting Build'''.
*When it is swimming in the water, it is in its '''Swimming Build'''.
*When it is gliding in the sky, it is in its '''Gliding Build'''.

Koraidon is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet}}, appearing on the game's box art in its Apex Build. In the [[Scarlet Book]], it is also known as the "'''Winged King'''" (Japanese: '''ツバサノオウ''' ''Tsubasa no Ō''). Koraidon and Miraidon are often collectively referred to as the [[Paradox duo]] by fans.

==Biology==
[[File:Apex Build Koraidon wings.png|thumb|left|250px|Apex Build Koraidon with its wings unfurled]]
Koraidon is a large, {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} primarily covered in scarlet feathers with white accents on its cheeks, upper body, thighs, and tail. Its most notable feature is a tire-like {{wp|Gular skin|gular sac}} on its throat, which inflates and deflates depending on its form. Koraidon's head has a {{wp|Crest (feathers)|crest}} of feathers and a pair of long, twisted, brow-plume-like tendrils. Additional feathers at the base of its tail transition from blue to purple and end in white tips, creating a striking appearance. Its eyes have yellow sclerae, orange irises, and brown pupils, with red plumes giving the impression of eyebrows. Koraidon's body is adorned with blue markings on its elbows and shoulders, as well as blue frills down its neck. From each shoulder, a curved, handlebar-like structure extends backward. It has webbed feet, each with four claws; the two central claws are sometimes held close together, making it appear as though there are only three. The gular sac and base of its tail share a grooved texture, but the sac is also lined with spikes.

Koraidon bears a resemblance to {{p|Cyclizar}}, though it is known to be far more ferocious and muscular. According to [[AI Sada]], Koraidon is an ancestor of Cyclizar from the ancient past. However, according to a version of [[Professor Sada]] that was summoned at the [[Crystal Pool]], Koraidon is a counterpart of Cyclizar from {{Pkmn|multiverse|another timeline}}. The origins of Koraidon in the present day trace back to a [[time machine]] constructed by [[Professor Sada]], which brought two specimens to [[Area Zero]] ten years ago. These two individuals displayed contrasting temperaments: the {{ga|Koraidon|first one}} was friendly and curious, while the [[Area Zero#Area Zero Depths|second one]] was aggressive and territorial. 200 years ago, [[Heath]] also encountered a Koraidon, as seen in the [[Scarlet Book]], though it is unclear how it arrived in Area Zero at the time. It was formerly referred to as the "Winged King" in the Scarlet Book, with its current name coined by Professor Sada, potentially as a result of a {{wp|bootstrap paradox}}. Its ecology and other features remain a mystery. Though cautious around [[human]]s, its curiosity sometimes leads it to play with them.

Koraidon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Collision Course}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Orichalcum Pulse}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Koraidon has five forms: Apex Build, Limited Build, Sprinting Build, Swimming Build, and Gliding Build. In all of its travel forms, Koraidon's tail stays tucked in, displaying a pattern similar to that found on its gular sac.

|}

====Apex Build====
In its Apex Build, Koraidon shifts to a bipedal stance and adopts a poised, battle-ready posture. The feathers on its head and rear unfold and stand upright, forming a crest that resembles a {{wp|war bonnet}}. The gular sac on its throat inflates, displaying a red, gear-like pattern, while the base of its tail becomes more robust. Koraidon's claws spread apart, revealing the white membranes between its toes. According to [[Arven]], this is Koraidon's true form.

Aware of its formidable strength, Apex Build Koraidon exudes confidence and rarely feels threatened. Its power surges under [[harsh sunlight]] due to an {{a|Orichalcum Pulse|ancient energy}} coursing through its body. During {{pkmn|battle}}, Koraidon will {{m|Collision Course|unfurl its wings and crash into}} its targets with explosive force. It leverages its immense strength and array of natural weapons to overpower opponents, including powerful jaws, sharp claws, and a sturdy tail. Its legs possess extraordinary strength, allowing it to leap over 65 feet into the air and use the momentum from its falls for devastating kicks and body slams.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/koraidon/ Koraidon | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> It is said to have the power to shatter the ground with its fists alone.

====Limited Build====
In its Limited Build, Koraidon adopts a quadrupedal stance. The feathers on its head and rear are folded and closed, and the gular sac retracts, exposing a tire-like protrusion. The webbing between its claws is not visible, as its central claws stay close together. Koraidon typically takes on this form when weakened or not engaging in a battle.

====Sprinting Build====
In its Sprinting Build, Koraidon tucks its tail, causing it to resemble a motorcycle. It runs on all fours, allowing it to reach high speeds and climb steep cliffs.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/legendary_pokemon/ New Forms Discovered for the Legendary Pokémon Koraidon and Miraidon | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref>

====Swimming Build====
In its Swimming Build, the gular sac inflates, enabling Koraidon to float on water. It propels itself through rivers, lakes, and oceans by paddling with its webbed feet.<ref name=SVsite/>

====Gliding Build====
In its Gliding Build, the tendrils on Koraidon's head unfurl into wings, allowing it to glide or even fly in the sky.<ref name=SVsite/><ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/flying/ Unlock the Power to Fly with Koraidon or Miraidon! | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref>

===[[Form]] data===
Koraidon can switch between five forms: Apex Build, Limited Build, Sprinting Build, Swimming Build, and Gliding Build.

The Apex Build is the only form of Koraidon that can be used in a {{pkmn|battle}}. Koraidon assumes its Limited Build when it is not battling or has been weakened. The Sprinting, Swimming, and Gliding Builds are used for traveling in the land, water, or air, respectively.

Only Koraidon's Apex Build is recognized as a form in the [[Pokédex]]. However, its Limited Build is fully usable in battle when [[Cheating|hacked]] into {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, albeit with various glitches and oddities, and has an unused [[Pokédex entry]]. It shares these traits with {{p|Miraidon}}. Koraidon's other forms are listed as being 11'6" / 3.5 m tall, which is the same height as Ultimate Mode Miraidon and taller than Apex Build Koraidon.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Scarlet_and_Violet#Dex_Entries Miraidon & Koraidon's Ride forms on The Cutting Room Floor]</ref>

====Major appearances====
=====Koraidon (recurring)=====
Koraidon properly debuted in [[HZ148]], where it was found by [[Roy]]. They ended up unexpectedly participating in a [[Cyclizar Race]] together, though Koraidon eventually flew away just before the race ended. Koraidon was shown in its {{form|Koraidon|Limited Build, Sprinting Build, Gliding Build, and Apex Build}}. The same Koraidon reappeared in [[HZ155]] to help Roy battle the [[treasures of ruin]], being {{Tera}}stallized into a {{t|Fighting}} type in the process.

Koraidon's known moves are {{m|Dragon Claw}}, {{m|Collision Course}}, and {{m|Close Combat}}, and its [[Ability]] is {{a|Orichalcum Pulse}}.

====Minor appearances====
An Apex Build Koraidon debuted in a [[Team Rocket Expedition which stands by the evils of love and truth|post-episode segment]] that aired with [[JN137]], where it was found by {{TRT}} in [[Paldea]].

==Trivia==
* Koraidon and {{p|Miraidon}} are the only [[Paradox Pokémon]]:
** Whose names follow regular {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} naming conventions.
*** To not have different names between languages.
** To each have their own unique {{Abilities}}.
* The builds of Koraidon in Japanese and Korean use {{wp|Sino-Japanese vocabulary|Sino-Japanese}} and {{wp|Sino-Korean vocabulary|Sino-Korean}} words respectively, showing tradition and the past, while the modes of {{p|Miraidon}} in the same languages use borrowed words from English, showing modernity.
* Of all Pokémon, Koraidon and Miraidon have the highest number of forms that are obtainable in some capacity yet unusable in {{pkmn|battle}}s, as they each use three forms solely for travel and are obtained in their fourth low power forms, yet can only be used in battle in their high power forms.
** {{p|Rotom}} has five forms that are unusable in battle ([[Rotom Pokédex|Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone|Phone]], [[Rotom Bike|Bike]], [[Rotomi]], [[Drone Rotom|Drone]]), but Rotomi and Drone Rotom are completely unobtainable.
* Despite being able to swim and fly with the player on its back, Koraidon cannot learn {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Fly}}. It shares this trait with its counterpart {{p|Miraidon}}.

===Cultural impact===
[[File:Honda Koraidon Project Honda Koraidon.jpg|thumb|250px|
"Sprinting Build" Honda Koraidon created for the Honda Koraidon Project]]
Koraidon is the subject of the [[Honda Koraidon Project]], which seeks to recreate the Pokémon as a mobile model.

===Merchandise===
* Koraidon was featured as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card and on stickers in the [[2024 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Koraidon may be based on an amalgamation of various lizards, dinosaurs, and vague depictions of European fantasy dragons. It notably resembles the {{wp|Dactyloidae|anole}} and the genera ''{{wp|Sitana}}'' and ''{{wp|Sarada (lizard)|Sarada}}''—the latter two are collectively known as fan-throated lizards. It also has traits from other lizard species, namely the frills of the {{wp|iguana}}, the feet of the {{wp|gecko}}, and the prehensile tail of the {{wp|chameleon}}. It also bears some resemblance to the basilisk, a creature from medieval European mythology particularly popular in the Iberian Peninsula.

Koraidon's feathers may be a reference to {{wp|feathered dinosaur}}s, while its bipedal stance in its Apex Build is reminiscent of older depictions of {{wp|theropod}} dinosaurs. Furthermore, the English name of its [[signature move]], {{m|Collision Course}}, alludes to the asteroid that caused the {{wp|Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event}}, which eliminated most dinosaur species on Earth. Its head shape, posture in its Apex Build, and alternate name, "Winged King", may be a reference to the ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'', colloquially known as the "King of the Dinosaurs" due to its {{wp|type species}}, ''T. rex'', being named with the Latin word for "king": the word ''Tyrannosaurus'' itself is Greek for "King Lizard." As they're displayed mostly on the head and in the waist area, the colorful feathers might be reference to ancient cultures in general, as opposed to Miraidon's futuristic look. Ancient civilizations (notably Central and South American) and tribes often used bird feathers as ornaments and symbol of status. Koraidon's twisted tendrils also resemble the brow-plumes on the {{wp|King of Saxony bird-of-paradise}}.

Some elements of Koraidon's design may be based on parts of off-road motorcycles (such as {{wp|chopper (motorcycle)|choppers}} or dirt bikes built for off-road or natural terrains). This is shown by its brow plumes and shoulders which are similar to handlebars (especially longer ones known as "ape hangers"), and the protrusion on its chest together with its tail resemble rubber tires, the latter especially when curled. Koraidon may have conceptually been influenced by {{wp|cave paintings}}, as indicated by the ancient past motifs as well as its red color scheme; the oldest known cave painting is a red hand stencil found in the Maltravieso caves in Spain, one of the inspirations of the Paldea region.

Additionally, due to its color scheme and its status as a [[Paradox Pokémon]] and [[game mascot]] of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], it could be based on infrared, a color that exists beyond the human visible light spectrum. Even though it can't be seen, it still exists, much like the confusing and contradictory origins of the Paradox Pokémon. Building on to this, it could be based on the concept of {{wp|Redshift|redshifting}}, which is the phenomenon of things that move away from the observer (i.e things that have already gone by, in the past) appear reddish in color, which would make Koraidon a redshifted version of the green Cyclizar.

====Name origin====
Koraidon may be a combination of 古来 ''korai'' (from time immemorial) or 古代 ''kodai'' (ancient times), ライド ''raido'' (ride), and ''dragon'', ''don'' (Spanish for "lord"), or ''{{wp|wiktionary:-don|-don}}'' (common suffix in taxonomic names of prehistoric animals derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

Koraidon name may have been intentionally designed to sound phonetically like ''go ride on'', referencing how the player rides around the Paldea region on it.

Its alternate name, Winged King, is literally ''winged king''.

Tsubasa no Ō, its alternate name in Japanese, can be taken literally as 翼の王 ''tsubasa no ō'' (winged king).

In the [[Area Zero journals]], [[Professor Sada]] mentions having named Koraidon. Due to a {{wp|bootstrap paradox}} involving a version of Professor Sada [[time travel]]ing from the past, it is possible that the player in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]] may be responsible for indirectly coining Koraidon's name.

'''Miraidon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミライドン''' ''Miraidon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Miraidon is said to be either a decendant of {{p|Cyclizar}} or a version of it from a parallel timeline. It also has an ancient counterpart, {{p|Koraidon}}.

Miraidon can [[#Form data|change forms]] as it traverses varying terrain and adapts to different situations.
*When it is at full strength and in a {{pkmn|battle}}, it is in its '''Ultimate Mode'''.
*Outside of a battle or when it has little power, it is in its '''Low-Power Mode'''.
*When it is sprinting on the land, it is in its '''Drive Mode'''.
*When it is swimming in the water, it is in its '''Aquatic Mode'''.
*When it is gliding in the sky, it is in its '''Glide Mode'''.

Miraidon is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet}}, appearing on the game's box art in its Ultimate Mode. In the [[Violet Book]], it is also known as the "'''Iron Serpent'''" (Japanese: '''テツノオロチ''' ''Tetsu no Orochi''). Miraidon and Koraidon are often collectively referred to as the [[Paradox duo]] by fans. It is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]].

==Biology==
[[File:Miraidon tongue Adventures.png|thumb|left|180px|Miraidon's robotic tongue]]
Miraidon is a large, robotic, {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a primarily metallic, violet body. Its face, neck, abdomen, tail, and knee joints are silver, while its claws are white. A distinctive feature of Miraidon is the {{wp|gular skin|gular sac}} on its throat, which changes appearance across its various forms. Its head features a small, dark purple {{wp|Casque (anatomy)|casque}} reminiscent of a motorcycle windshield and circular, purple cheek markings. Miraidon's eyes resemble an {{wp|LED display}}, with black sclerae and pupils and pixelated irises that can change pattern to simulate blinking. Each eye is bordered by two connected silver plates that resemble eyelids, from which long blue and yellow plasma-like antennae extend, resembling eyebrows. Miraidon's shoulders are equipped with backward-curving, handlebar-like structures. A black, {{wp|Fender (vehicle)|fender}}-like structure is positioned on its lower back just above the base of its tail. Each of Miraidon's feet has three claws, with the central one marked by a vertical black line. Both its tail and gular sac have grooved surfaces, resembling {{wp|tire tread}}s. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Miraidon is shown to possess a robotic tongue that visually resembles its gular sac.

Miraidon bears a resemblance to {{p|Cyclizar}}, though it is notably more powerful and aggressive. According to [[AI Turo]], it is a descendant of Cyclizar from the distant future. However, according to a version of [[Professor Turo]] that was summoned at the [[Crystal Pool]], Miraidon is a counterpart of Cyclizar from {{Pkmn|multiverse|another timeline}}. The origins of Miraidon in the present day trace back to a [[time machine]] constructed by [[Professor Turo]], which brought two specimens to [[Area Zero]] ten years ago. These two individuals displayed contrasting temperaments: the {{ga|Miraidon|first one}} was friendly and curious, while the [[Area Zero#Area Zero Depths|second one]] was aggressive and territorial. 200 years ago, [[Heath]] also encountered a Miraidon as seen in the [[Violet Book]], though it is unclear how it arrived in Area Zero at the time. It was formerly referred to as the "Iron Serpent" in the Violet Book, with its current name, Miraidon, attributed to Professor Turo, potentially due to a {{wp|bootstrap paradox}}. Much remains unknown about Miraidon's ecology and other details. Despite its mechanical appearance, it displays behavior that suggests an advanced level of intelligence and perceptiveness. It carefully evaluates a person's character using keen insight before deciding to accompany them. Miraidon's calm and enigmatic nature makes it difficult to discern its thoughts or emotions, with subtle hints only visible in its eyes.<ref name=Miraidon>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/miraidon/ Miraidon | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> Miraidon also exhibits biological traits such as the ability to produce saliva and even consume food, specifically [[Herba Mystica]] [[sandwich]]es, to regain strength and power, allowing it to access its transformations after being weakened. Due to the smell of Herba Mystica smell on them, Miraidon can track down [[Titan Pokémon]].

Miraidon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Electro Drift}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Hadron Engine}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Miraidon has five forms: Ultimate Mode, Low-Power Mode, Drive Mode, Aquatic Mode, and Gliding Mode. In all of its travel forms, Miraidon's tail stays tucked in, and its back legs remain folded, exposing its jet engines for propulsion.

====Ultimate Mode====
[[File:Miraidon attacks anime.png|thumb|250px|Ultimate Mode Miraidon shooting electricity from its hind legs, functioning as cannons]]
In its Ultimate Mode, Miraidon's body becomes charged with purplish-yellow energy. Its gular sac inflates and glows with a bluish-white light, while its antennae flare with electricity, taking on the appearance of lightning bolts. The middle and tip of its tail also emit this energy. Miraidon's back legs fold into its thighs, forming jet engine-like structures that enable it to hover and fly. Its legs also double as electrical cannons in this form. Its irises display a unique combination of light blue outer rings and yellow inner rings. Areas on its cheeks, arms, handlebars, and thighs are filled with light purple energy. When Miraidon enters sleep, it deactivates, causing its glowing features to turn silver. According to [[Arven]], this is Miraidon's true form.

In {{pkmn|battle}}, Miraidon floats to maintain a strategic position, applying pressure to grounded foes while predicting their movements and striking at their weak points. It uses electricity generated within its body to charge its claws, fangs, and tail, with one strike from its charged tail said to knock out even the most resilient opponents.<ref name=Miraidon/> Miraidon can achieve high speeds and unleash powerful, electrically charged attacks, utilizing the {{a|Hadron Engine|advanced engine}} within its body to amplify its abilities, especially when surrounded by {{m|Electric Terrain}}. Miraidon can also {{m|Electro Drift|race at ultrafast speeds}} to pierce its targets with futuristic electricity. Miraidon can unleash lightning powerful enough to scorch the land from its mouth, neck, or hind legs.

====Low-Power Mode====
In Low-Power Mode, Miraidon adopts a quadrupedal stance. It lacks the intense purplish-yellow energy seen in Ultimate Mode, resulting in a monochromatic silver appearance on its gular sac, antennae, and tail similar to when entering sleep in that form. Its irises remain light blue, and areas on its cheeks, antennae, handlebars, and thighs retain subtle light purple energy. Miraidon assumes this form when weakened or not engaging in a battle.

====Drive Mode====
In Drive Mode, energy is channeled to Miraidon's tail and throat, creating wheel-like rings that make it resemble a motorcycle. This enables high-speed movement and also cliff climbing through its legs.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

====Aquatic Mode====
In Aquatic Mode, Miraidon's rings expand to help it float and propel itself through rivers, lakes, and oceans using either the rotation of the rings or its jet engines.<ref name=SVsite/>

====Glide Mode====
In Glide Mode, Miraidon's antennae extend to spread an energy membrane, allowing it to glide or even fly in the air.<ref name=SVsite/><ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/flying/ Unlock the Power to Fly with Koraidon or Miraidon! - Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

===[[Form]] data===
Miraidon can switch between five forms: Ultimate Mode, Low-Power Mode, Drive Mode, Aquatic Mode, and Gliding Mode.

The Ultimate Mode is the only form of Miraidon that can be used in a {{pkmn|battle}}. Miraidon assumes its Low-Power Mode when it is not battling or has been weakened. The Drive, Aquatic, and Gliding Modes are used for traveling in the land, water, or air, respectively.

Only Miraidon's Ultimate Mode is recognized as a form in the [[Pokédex]]. However, its Low-Power Mode is fully usable in battle when [[Cheating|hacked]] into {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, albeit with various glitches and oddities, and has an unused [[Pokédex entry]]. It shares these traits with {{p|Koraidon}}. Miraidon's ride forms are listed as being 9'2" / 2.7 m tall, which is smaller than its Ultimate Mode.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Scarlet_and_Violet#Dex_Entries Miraidon & Koraidon's ride forms on The Cutting Room Floor]</ref>

Miraidon's known moves are {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, {{m|Electro Drift}}, and {{m|Dragon Tail}}, and its [[Ability]] is {{a|Hadron Engine}}.

=====Minor appearances=====
Ultimate Mode Miraidon debuted in a [[Team Rocket Expedition which stands by the evils of love and truth|post-episode segment]] that aired with [[JN138]], where [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] found it in [[Paldea]].

Miraidon debuted in ''[[PASV01|Speeding! Paldea's Prince of Speed!!]]'' as [[Violet Lang]]'s ride. In ''[[PASV02|Discover! The Quaking Earth Titan!!]]'', Violet revealed to {{adv|Arven}} that he had encountered Miraidon as it crashed down on a beach near [[Cabo Poco]] and started following him after eating his [[sandwich]]. [[Professor Turo]] had then contacted him, informing him that Miraidon had previously been in his possession, and told Violet that its current depowered state could be remedied with the help of the [[Herba Mystica]], inspiring Violet to find them in order to unlock Miraidon's full potential. It debuted in its Drive Mode, with its other forms being unlocked and appearing later on.

==Trivia==
* Miraidon and {{p|Koraidon}} are the only [[Paradox Pokémon]]:
** Whose names follow regular {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} naming conventions.
*** To not have different names between languages.
** To each have their own unique {{Abilities}}.
* The modes of Miraidon in Japanese and Korean use borrowed words from English, showing modernity, while the builds of {{p|Koraidon}} in the same languages use {{wp|Sino-Japanese vocabulary|Sino-Japanese}} and {{wp|Sino-Korean vocabulary|Sino-Korean}} words respectively, showing tradition and the past.
* Miraidon is the tallest Paradox Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex and the only known future Paradox Pokémon to be taller than both its {{p|Cyclizar|present-day}} and {{p|Koraidon|ancient}} relatives.
** It is also the only future Paradox Pokémon not to have the word "Iron" in its name. However, its other name in the [[Violet Book]] is "Iron Serpent".
** Miraidon is also the only {{type|Dragon}} Paradox Pokémon to be a future Paradox Pokémon rather than an ancient one.
* Miraidon has the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Of all Pokémon, Miraidon and Koraidon have the highest number of forms that are obtainable in some capacity yet unusable in battle, as they each use three forms solely for travel and are obtained in their fourth low power forms, yet can only battle in their high-power forms.
** {{p|Rotom}} has five forms that are unusable in battle ([[Rotom Pokédex|Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone|Phone]], [[Rotom Bike|Bike]], [[Rotomi]], [[Drone Rotom|Drone]]), but Rotomi and Drone Rotom are completely unobtainable.
* Prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Miraidon was able to learn {{m|Power Gem}} at level 49. Now, it can only learn the [[move]] via [[TM]].
* Despite being able to swim and fly with the player on its back, Miraidon cannot learn {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Fly}}. It shares this trait with Koraidon.

===Cultural impact===
[[File:Toyota Miraidon Project Toyota Miraidon.jpg|thumb|250px|
"Drive Mode" Toyota Miraidon created for the Toyota Miraidon Project]]
Miraidon is the subject of the [[Toyota Miraidon Project]], which seeks to recreate the Pokémon as a mobile model.

===Merchandise===
* Miraidon was featured as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card and on stickers in the [[2024 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Miraidon's appearance may be based on a robotic serpentine dragon and various lizards, such as the {{wp|anole}} or the genera ''{{wp|Sitana}}'' and ''{{wp|Sarada (lizard)|Sarada}}''—the latter two are collectively known as fan-throated lizards. Its robotic look might also be a reference to how futuristic cultures are often depicted with the overuse of machines and robots, as opposed to Koraidon's traditional look. Some elements of its design may be based on parts of various {{wp|motor vehicle|motorized vehicle}}s (such as a {{wp|sport bike}} and other super bikes designed with maneuverability in mind for city streets and highways), with its {{wp|Casque (anatomy)|casque}} resembling a motorcycle windshield, its shoulders being similar to handlebars, its rear looking like the backrest of a vehicle seat, its throat and tail resembling wheels when active, and its legs resembling {{wp|jet engine|jet engines}} or {{wp|exhaust pipes}}. Miraidon's ability to rearrange itself when changing between forms may be inspired by {{wp|transforming robots}}. Miraidon's color scheme, along with the name of the game it debuts in, possibly stemmed from violet being on the opposite side of the visible spectrum of light from red (a prominent color associated with Pokémon Scarlet and Koraidon) as well as violet occasionally being associated with space (which is often considered the "final frontier", tying to Miraidon's hypothetical future motifs). Building on to this, it could be based on the concept of {{wp|Redshift#Blueshift|blueshifting}}, which is the phenomenon of things that move towards the observer (i.e things that are yet to come, in the future) appear blueish in color, which would make Miraidon a blueshifted version of the green Cyclizar.

Given its serpentine body and its {{t|Electric}} [[type]], it may take inspiration from {{wp|Sugaar}} in {{wp|Basque mythology}}. Originally venerated as the god of storms and thunder in pre-Christian Basque beliefs, Sugaar takes the form of a serpent and embodies lightning.

Additionally, due to its color scheme, its status as a [[Paradox Pokémon]], and it being the mascot of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]], it could be based on Ultraviolet, a color that exists beyond the human visible light spectrum. It can't be seen, but it's still there, much like the confusing and contradictory origins of the Paradox Pokémon.

====Name origin====
Miraidon may be a combination of 未来 ''mirai'' (future), ライド ''raido'' (ride), and ''dragon'', ''don'' (Spanish for "lord"), or ''{{wp|wiktionary:-don|-don}}'' (common suffix in taxonomic names of prehistoric animals derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

Miraidon's name may have been intentionally designed to sound phonetically like ''me ride on'', referencing how the player rides around the Paldea region on it.

Its alternate name, Iron Serpent, is literally ''iron serpent''.

Tetsu no Orochi, its alternate name in Japanese, can be taken literally as 鉄の大蛇 ''tetsu no orochi'' (iron serpent).

In the [[Area Zero journals]], [[Professor Turo]] mentions having named Miraidon. Due to a {{wp|bootstrap paradox}} involving a version of Professor Turo [[time travel]]ing from the past, it is possible that the player in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] may be responsible for indirectly coining Miraidon's name.

'''Fletchling''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤヤコマ''' ''Yayakoma'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Fletchinder}} starting at [[level]] 17, which evolves into {{p|Talonflame}} starting at level 35.

==Biology==
Fletchling is a small, avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar in appearance to a {{wp|Japanese robin|robin}}. It has a reddish-orange head with a triangular yellow mark on the back of each eye. Its body and wings are gray, and there are white tips on the wings. It has a long, black tail with a white V-shaped marking near the tip. The tail ends in two points and has two feathers sticking out at the base, resembling the {{wp|fletching}} on the end of an arrow. Its legs, small beak, and eyes are black. The legs are thin and spindly, with two toes facing forward and one facing backward on each foot.

Fletchling is said to be very friendly and is well known for its beautiful songs, which are in fact sounds of warning. It communicates by using chirps and moving its tailfeathers to signal others of its kind. In spite of its typically peaceful disposition, it is relentless in battle and very territorial, attacking perceived threats mercilessly. Its body is warm and doubles in temperature when startled or excited. This increase in temperature spikes hormone production in its body. It can burn someone if they touch it with their bare hands. Fletchling live in both rural and urban areas, and once had massive territorial fights with {{p|Squawkabilly}} in the [[Paldea]] region.

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

===Evolution===
Fletchling evolves into {{p|Fletchinder}}, which evolves into {{p|Talonflame}}.

Fletching also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''These Normal/Flying-type Pokémon are a popular choice with trainers, thanks to their beautiful voices and friendly personalities. They're found all over the cities of the Kalos region. They are quite territorial, however, and aren't afraid to use Peck on anyone who trespasses.''

'''PAL''': ''Fletchling, the Tiny Robin Pokémon. This Normal- and Flying- Pokémon is often seen in cities in the Kalos region. It's popular with trainers due to its friendly personality and beautiful voice. However, they can be very territorial, and if you bring one out in battle, it won't hesitate to use Peck on one of your opponents.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Fletchling returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining the same behavior from the previous game.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Fletchling is the only regional bird Pokémon to have its primary type changed upon [[Evolution]].

===Concept and development===
Fletchling was designed by [[Saya Tsuruta]].<ref>[[Pokémon Trading Card Game: Online Illustration Exhibition]]: Commentary by Saya Tsuruta on [[Fletchling (Unified Minds 179)]]</ref>

===Origin===
Fletchling seems to be based on a {{wp|Japanese robin}}. Its tail design and name might suggest that it was also based in part on an arrow.

====Name origin====
Fletchling may be a combination of ''{{wp|fletching}}'' (fin-shaped stabilizers on arrows, typically made from feathers) and ''{{wp|fledge|fledgling}}'' or ''{{wp|hatchling}}''.

Yayakoma may be a combination of 矢 ''ya'' (arrow), 稚児 ''yayako'' (baby), and 駒鳥 ''komadori'' ({{wp|Japanese robin}}).

'''Charmeleon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザード''' ''Lizardo'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charmander}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Charizard}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
Charmeleon is a bipedal, {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has dark red scales and a cream underside from the chest down. It has blue eyes and a long snout with a slightly hooked tip. On the back of its head is a single horn-like protrusion. It has relatively long arms with three sharp claws. Its short legs have {{wp|plantigrade}} feet with three claws and cream-colored soles. The tip of its long, powerful tail has a flame burning on it. The temperature rises to unbearable levels if Charmeleon swings its tail.

Charmeleon has a vicious, hotheaded nature and will constantly seek out opponents. Strong opponents excite this Pokémon, causing it to spout bluish-white flames that torch its surroundings. Charmeleon enjoys tormenting the opponents it fights. However, it will relax once it has won a {{pkmn|battle}}. It is rare in the wild but can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Charmleon is known to sleep with a laid-back posture, using its hands as a pillow. Its fierce fervor disappears when it sleeps.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Evolution===
Charmeleon [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charmander}} and evolves into {{p|Charizard}}.

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

This Charmander will eventually evolve into Charmeleon, which Blue will use in battles against the player on the [[S.S. Anne]] and in the [[Pokémon Tower]] before it further evolves into {{p|Charizard}}.

A Charmeleon appeared in ''[[GB04|Let's Aim For The Goal!]]'', under the ownership of {{tc|Firebreather}} Takeo.

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

==Trivia==
* In English, the {{pkmn|category}} "Flame Pokémon" is shared by Charmeleon, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Flareon}}, Kantonian {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Infernape}}.
** In Japanese, Flareon has the category ほのおポケモン ''Honō Pokémon'' (Flame Pokémon), while the other four Pokémon share the category かえんポケモン ''Kaen Pokémon'' (Flame Pokémon).
* Charmeleon, {{p|Quilava}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
* In [[Generation IX]], Charmeleon and its evolved form are unable to learn {{m|Metal Claw}} via [[TM]], but its pre-evolved form can.
** Similarly, Charmeleon cannot learn {{m|Fire Spin}} by [[level]] up, while its evolutionary relatives can.

===Design variations===
In {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Charmeleon's [[#Sprites|sprites]] depict it with what appears to be a {{wp|Horn (anatomy)|keratinous horn}}, which is more clearly seen on the back sprite. The front sprite in [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Pokémon Blue]] shows Charmeleon with a dark red crest instead of a white horn, which was also carried over to the localized Generation I games.

===Concept and development===
Charmeleon, along with its evolutionary relatives, was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website] (archived, Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://funs-project.com/poplab/007/index_2.html Fun's Project interview with Atsuko Nishida] (Japanese)</ref>

===Origin===
Charmeleon may be based on {{wp|lizard}}s, as its name suggests. It could also be based on {{wp|Legendary salamander in popular culture|mythical fire salamander}}, as salamanders and lizards are very similar. The crest on its head resembles that of the dinosaur [[wp:Parasaurolophus|Parasaurolophus]].

====Name origin====
Charmeleon may be a combination of ''[[Wiktionary:char#English|char]]'' (to burn) and ''{{wp|chameleon}}''.

Lizardo may be derived from the transcription of the English word ''{{wp|lizard}}''.

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

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Parasect}} starting at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
[[File:Mt Moon Paras.png|thumb|left|250px|Paras removing its [[tochukaso]]]]
Paras is a red-orange, {{wp|insect|insectoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles the nymph stage of a {{wp|cicada}}. Its ovoid body is segmented, and it has three pairs of legs. The foremost pair of legs is the largest and has sharp claws at the tips. There are five specks on its forehead and three teeth on either side of its mouth. It has circular eyes with large pseudopupils.

Red-and-yellow mushrooms known as [[tochukaso]] grow on this Pokémon's back. The mushrooms can be removed at any time and grow from spores that are doused on this Pokémon's back at birth by the mushroom on its mother's back. Tochukaso are parasitic in nature, drawing their nutrients from the host Paras's body in order to grow and exerting some command over the Pokémon's actions. For example, Paras drains nutrients from tree roots due to commands from the mushrooms. The mushrooms are also popular among collectors and have medicinal uses, usually involving extended life.

Paras can often be found in [[cave]]s; however, it can also thrive in damp {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}. In the [[Alola]] [[region]], the mushrooms on its back do not grow well. This is thought to be from a lack of moisture or nutrients.

Prior to [[Generation III]], Paras and its evolved form, {{p|Parasect}}, were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Spore}}.

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

{{main|Paras (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Paras and {{p|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 [[Generation I]], {{type|Poison}} attacks were super effective against {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, making Paras and {{p|Parasect}} the only Pokémon to have ever had three vulnerabilities.
* 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}}.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[Egg Group]] combination as Paras and its Evolution.
** Paras and its Evolution are also the only {{type|Bug}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Grass}}.
* Paras and {{p|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}}.
* Paras can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Morelull}}.
** They are both part {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.
** They share the same Medium Fast [[experience]] growth rate.
** they have the same base experience yield of 57.
** They are both {{wp|fungi}}-based Pokémon.
** They both evolve starting at level 24.
** They have the same [[Base stats|base stat]] total of 285.
*** They have the same base {{stat|Defense}} stat.
** In {{game|Sun and Moon|s}}, both can be found in the wild, with Morelull appearing at night and Paras appearing during the day.
* Paras' Ultra Moon Pokédex contains a pun in Japanese and English. In Japanese, the pun is based around two homophones: 虫 ''mushi'', meaning "insect", and 無視 ''mushi'', meaning "ignore", referring to how the mushroom ignore's the insect's will. The English entry changes the entry's meaning slightly to incorporate a pun on "bug", where the bug (insect) bugs (annoys) the mushrooms, which tell it to bug off (stop). Other languages translate the entry literally, without incorporating any wordplay.

===Concept and development===
In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta]], Paras was originally known in English as ''Parasyte''.

[[File:Spr 2d 184.png|thumb|150px|right|Early design of Paras's pre-Evolution]]
In the [[Spaceworld '97 demo]], Paras appears to have had a pre-Evolution known as ''Para'' (パラ). It resembled a Paras-like {{wp|larva}} coming out of a mushroom.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Paras and Parasect}}
The fungus on Paras is identified as [[tochukaso]], an {{wp|Parasitoid|endoparasitoid}} that replaces the host tissue and can affect the behavior of its {{wp|insect}} host. The base insect appears to be a {{wp|cicada}} {{wp|nymph (biology)|nymph}}. 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. It may also draw inspiration from ''{{wp|Massospora}}'', a genus of fungi which include species that specifically infect cicadas.

====Name origin====
Paras may be derived from ''{{wp|Parasitism|parasite}}'', referring to the parasitic {{wp|mushroom}} growing on its back.

==Blurb==

On the way to Hearthome City, Ash and his friends spot a sightseeing steamboat and decide to take a ride. But the old man in charge of the boat informs them that it doesn't depart until noon, which leaves our three Trainers with plenty of time to go shop at a nearby Poké Mart. All their Pokémon stay on the boat to have some fun in the meantime, since there are no other passengers yet. The fun starts to get a little messy, however, and on top of that, Pachirisu's clowning around accidentally sets the ship in motion!

Team Rocket is already onboard and in disguise, planning to carry out their latest criminal scheme. Using the power of song and dance, they lure Pikachu and the Pokémon into a trap—except all the Pokémon escape when the ship suddenly changes course! Pachirisu is still up in the boat's cockpit, and it accidentally turned the steering wheel. Pikachu and friends have no problem blasting Team Rocket off and overboard, but now the boat's new course is taking it right toward a giant waterfall!

Ash, Dawn, and Brock return to the boat dock and discover that their Pokémon are in danger. With the help of the old man's Mantine, Ash and Dawn catch up to the runaway boat and jump onboard. Then, with Ash at the wheel and some Pokémon teamwork, the ship is steered away from the waterfall and back to safety. Our heroes apologize to the old man for all the trouble, but he's proud of what they accomplished and wishes them good luck on their adventures.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stand on a cliff overlooking a large river. After spotting a large {{p|Wailord}}-shaped [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|boat]] docked in a harbor below, {{an|Brock}} reads from his guidebook that it will get them to [[Hearthome City]], their next destination. While an {{OBP|old man|DP039}}, supposed to be watching the ship, naps in a chair on the shore, Ash's group boards the ship. They marvel at a large dining room complete with a bandstand and instruments. {{AP|Pikachu}} leads everyone up to the sun deck, where they admire the magnificent view. Ash and friends follow and release their Pokémon to join them. The Pokémon take to a game of ring toss while others decide to relax.

{{an|Dawn}} spots the old man napping, and she calls out to him, which wakes him up. The old man informs Dawn and her friends that the steamboat leaves port at noon. With plenty of time to spare, Brock decides to stock on supplies. The old man points the group to a [[Poké Mart]] nearby. Ash and Dawn also want to do some shopping, though Brock reminds them that someone needs to look after the Pokémon. With the old man’s assurances, Ash and Dawn put Pikachu and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} in charge of the other Pokémon while they leave to do shopping. Flying overhead in their balloon, {{TRT}} spots the group’s abandoned Pokémon and decide to nab them all for {{an|Giovanni}}.

Aboard the steamboat, the Pokémon have migrated to the dining room. {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} settles himself in front of a mirror, staring at his own reflection. {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} bangs on the piano, Pikachu plucks the bass, {{AP|Buizel}} plays the saxophone, and {{AP|Turtwig}} plays the drums. Piplup, {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, {{AP|Aipom}}, and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} enter a dressing room filled with costumes, and the latter three dive into a rack of dresses. Pachirisu looks up on a shelf and sees some balloons, and it imagines itself floating along with {{AP|Staravia}}. It rushes up a ladder, ties the balloons around its waist and begins to drift out of the room and into the kitchen. The sounds of crashing pots and pans alerts Pikachu, who narrowly spots Pachirisu floating through. Pachirisu continues onto the {{wp|Bridge (nautical)|bridge}}, and its balloon pop as it hits the windscreen. Pachirisu is startled by the popping that it lets out an electric shock before fainting unconscious. The jolt starts the ship’s engine, and it leaves the harbor, while the old man is still asleep on shore and completely unaware of the situation.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket take to the stage, with [[Jessie]] [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised as the lead]] while [[James]] is dressed as a {{p|Plusle}}, and {{MTR}} is dressed as a {{p|Minun}}. The three sing a variation of their {{motto}}, and the Pokémon dance along with them after being invited to do so. James leads the Pokémon into a small doorway that reads "Welcome," and a door shuts behind them. James waves the key and Jessie and Meowth comment, not noticing Croagunk still at the mirror. Pachirisu, still in the control room, wakes up and falls on the steering wheel, making it turn several rotations. The ship makes a hard turn, and the key falls out of James's hands and bounces across the floor. Team Rocket chases after it, and Meowth picks it up, but they turn around to see the Pokémon have escaped from behind the door and are angry. Aipom uses {{m|Swift}}, Buizel launches a {{m|SonicBoom}}, Piplup uses {{m|Bubble Beam}}, and Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} to send Team Rocket flying off the ship.

The Pokémon on the ship look up through the hole created by Team Rocket and see the ship is moving quickly, so they run on deck. Back on land, the old man wakes up and sees the ship chugging away. Ash and friends return and immediately notice the situation, and they ask if they can use one of the other boats to chase after the ship. The man says they aren't fast enough, so he sends out his {{p|Mantine}}, and Ash and Dawn jump on its back and rush after the ship, which is approaching a massive waterfall. The Pokémon on deck are frightened and appear helpless. Pikachu and Piplup nod at each other and attempt to organize the Pokémon. Pachirisu and Happiny get on Staravia's back, while Buneary, Piplup, Aipom, Turtwig, Buizel, and Sudowoodo jump up on the ship's ledge to attempt to stop the impact with attacks. Croagunk is still in front of the mirror, so Pikachu drags him away to help. Ash and Dawn appear alongside the ship, and the Pokémon rush over to meet them.

Ash tells Mantine to jump over the ship, and he and Dawn jump on deck as it does. Dawn admires Aipom and Buneary's dresses, and Ash runs to grab the steering wheel. Dawn tells Piplup to use {{m|Whirlpool}}, which, in conjunction with Ash's turning, causes the ship to turn around. The whirlpool, however, begins to drag the ship back, so Buneary uses {{m|Ice Beam}} to seal it. Ahead is a rock pillar, so Pikachu, Turtwig, and Buizel aim their attacks to break it up. A chunk of rock flies toward the ship, but Mantine crashes through it at the last second, breaking it into pieces that fall into the water. Ash collapses on the wheel in relief as the Pokémon cheer.

Back at the harbor, the old man apologizes, but the group doesn't make a big deal over it because everything turned out okay. In turn, they thank him for the use of his Mantine. The man praises Pikachu and Piplup's quick thinking. As the ship is about to set off, the man wishes the group all the best with their ventures, and he waves as they sail towards Hearthome.

* In this episode, {{TRT}} sings a song containing some of the words of their {{motto}}.
* [[Dawn's Pachirisu]] flying around the ship using balloons may be a reference to [[flying Pikachu]].
* [[James]] and {{MTR}} [[Breaking the fourth wall|break the fourth wall]] during their blastoff. [[Jessie]] says, "I don't care what those Pokémon party poopers thought, I liked our song." James refers to the viewers when he replies, "Bet the kids did." Meowth then shook his hand and said, "Fat chance."

===Errors===
* During Meowth's [[boss fantasy]], when {{an|Giovanni}} is sliding with Ash, Dawn, and {{an|Brock}}'s Pokémon, Buneary's feet are brown, when they should be cream colored.

===Dub edits===
* In the English dub, the old man tells Ash and his friends that there is a [[Poké Mart]] past the woods, where they can get supplies. In the original Japanese version, he just says there is a small town where they can get supplies.

'''Oranguru''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤレユータン''' ''Yareyuutan'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it is considered to be a counterpart of {{p|Passimian}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Oranguru SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[:a:Category:Concept art from Pokémon Sun and Moon|Concept art]] featuring Oranguru from {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Oranguru is a simian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling an orangutan. While most of its body is covered in white fur, its hands, feet, and snout are bare with its light gray skin visible. The fur around its head and under its chin is longer and creates the impression of a long beard. It has a broad, flat nose and a black area around its eyes. Underneath each eye is a yellow ring marking, which is encircled by a light blue ring marking. In the center of its forehead is a yellow marking shaped like a four-pointed star. A cape of purple fur covers its back and is divided into many wavy clumps with strands of orange and light blue throughout. The purple fur grows longer as it ages. Oranguru holds a fan created from green leaves woven together with its own purple fur.

This solitary Pokémon spends its time deep in the forest, meditating high up in the trees. While it is not normally active, it will provide food to hungry Pokémon and give medicine to injured ones. It has even been known to use [[human]] tools or items, including [[Poké Ball]]s. It has a lofty attitude and will give other Pokémon orders. This can make them difficult Pokémon for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to handle. Ancient people actually thought Oranguru were people and called them the "people of the forests."<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/oranguru/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Oranguru]</ref> Oranguru does not get along with others of its kind, often battling out their wits for superiority. It will also occasionally venture to the beach to match wits with {{p|Slowking}}.

Oranguru is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Instruct}}. Additionally, in [[Generation VIII]], Oranguru was the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Symbiosis}} as an [[Ability]].

==Trivia==
* Oranguru is pronounced "or-RANG-goo-roo" according to a segment featuring commonly mispronounced Pokémon names in a [[2023 Pokémon World Championships]] livestream and a challenge at the 2026 Latin America International Championships.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/0osUMcJcffE?t=14680 2023 Pokémon World Championships livestream]</ref><ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/DRXQATkEgPf/?img_index=6 Instagram post by Pokémon]</ref>
* Oranguru can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Passimian}}. Both are primate-like Pokémon with the same base stat total. While Oranguru is exclusive to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon]], [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Shield]], and [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet]], Passimian is exclusive to Pokémon Sun, Ultra Sun, Sword and Violet.
* Despite not being associated with a certain group, both Oranguru and Passimian are listed in the same [[Pokédex]] page in {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. The same trait is true with {{p|Tauros}} and {{p|Miltank}}.

===Origin===
Oranguru appears to be based on an {{wp|orangutan}} and a {{wp|guru}}. The name "orangutan" translates as "person of the forest", which Oranguru has also been referred to as. Oranguru's Psychic typing and demeanor may reference the orangutan's high intelligence. Oranguru may also be based on the mythical {{wp|Satori (folklore)|satori}}, an ape-like yōkai that could read human minds.

====Name origin====
Oranguru may be a combination of ''orangutan'' and ''guru''.

Yareyuutan may be a combination of やれ ''yare'' ("Do it") and オランウータン ''oran'ūtan'' (orangutan).

==Blurb==

The time has come for Ash's Eterna Gym Battle with Gym Leader Gardenia, who's a Grass-type Pokémon expert. The battle will be 3-on-3, starting with Ash's Turtwig against Gardenia's Cherubi. The sun is out and that means Cherubi's Chlorophyll ability gives it a speed boost, so before long Ash recalls Turtwig and swaps in Staravia. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is digging into the Eterna Gym in hopes of stealing Pokémon, but they end up hitting a network of underground tunnels instead. There they meet an Underground explorer who convinces them to help him dig for sphere and other buried treasures—too bad he doesn't plan on sharing the loot!

Back on the surface, it's Ash's turn to use the weather to his advantage. He has Staravia dive at Cherubi, using the glare of the sun as a distraction, and Staravia wins this round. Next up is Gardenia's Turtwig: Ash has a strategy to neutralize her Turtwig's speed, but Turtwig still manages to knock Staravia out with Leech Seed.

Now it's Ash's Turtwig against Gardenia's Turtwig! These Pokémon have faced each other before and neither one wants to lose. Ash's Turtwig wins this round, but it's been weakened by a Leech Seed from Gardenia's Turtwig. Gardenia's Roserade is then able to defeat Ash's Turtwig with ease, but that just means Ash's Aipom is ready to go next! More of Ash's quick strategizing wins the final round, and now he's earned his Forest Badge!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive at the [[Eterna Gym]] for Ash's second [[Sinnoh]] [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. [[Gardenia]] arrives shortly after and they prepare for their official battle. Outside the [[Gym]], {{TRT}} plans to tunnel underneath to steal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, though it is something they have done before and [[James]] is left completely unenthusiastic about it.

The three-on-three Gym battle begins as Gardenia summons {{p|Cherubi}} as Ash sends out {{AP|Turtwig}}. Turtwig makes the first move with {{m|Tackle}}, but Cherubi dodges effortlessly. Turtwig follows up with {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but Cherubi dodges that as well. {{an|Brock}} notices that this amazing speed is coming from the [[harsh sunlight]] enabling Cherubi's [[Ability]], {{a|Chlorophyll}}. Cherubi fires an instant {{m|Solar Beam}} [[Move|attack]], which Turtwig jumps up to dodge. Thinking it will take time to fire another, Ash commands Turtwig to use Razor Leaf, but to their surprise, the harsh sunlight allows Cherubi to fire another instant Solar Beam, negating the Razor Leaf and hitting Turtwig. Cherubi uses {{m|Magical Leaf}}, but Ash recalls Turtwig before the move can land, causing Gardenia to commend Ash on the smart decision. Underneath, Team Rocket continues digging as they emerge into a lit [[Underground|underground]] tunnel. A [[Underground Man|miner]] approaches and Team Rocket recites its {{motto}}. The miner reveals that there are treasures underneath, [[Shard]]s and [[Sphere]]s among them. He recruits Team Rocket to help find the treasure and split the profit.

Meanwhile, Ash sends out {{AP|Staravia}}. Cherubi launches another Solar Beam, but Staravia dodges and uses {{m|Wing Attack}}. Cherubi dodges and readies another Solar Beam, but is unable to do an instant-fire due to the sun now being concealed by clouds. Cherubi switches to Magical Leaf, and Staravia flies straight up, eventually getting out of Magical Leaf's range. Ash has Staravia descend slowly, which confuses everyone, before having him use a nosediving Wing Attack. Gardenia commands Cherubi to dodge, but the harsh sunlight returns and blinds Cherubi, rendering it vulnerable to Staravia's Wing Attack, which explains why Ash waited to counterstrike. Staravia follows up with {{m|Quick Attack}}, followed by an {{m|Aerial Ace}} that [[fainting|knocks out]] Cherubi.

[[File:Gardenia DP037.png|thumb|left|220px|Gardenia]]
[[File:Ash DP037.png|thumb|220px|Ash]]
Gardenia calls Cherubi back, praising Ash's clever strategy of using the weather to his advantage. She sends out {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}} as her second Pokémon, and Staravia takes on an angry look, wanting redemption after [[DP031|losing to Turtwig before]]. Staravia uses Wing Attack, but Turtwig quickly dodges. Ash orders Staravia to push forward with multiple Wing Attacks, but Turtwig retreats backwards to dodge all of them. Gardenia wonders why Ash insists on sticking with a move that isn't working, until she realizes too late that his real intention is to trap Turtwig into a tree. Staravia hits the immobilized Turtwig with Aerial Ace, causing a good amount of damage. Staravia tries to follow up with Wing Attack, but Turtwig's {{m|Leech Seed}} stops him in his tracks and [[Seeding|saps]] his [[HP|energy]], exposing him to Turtwig's Tackle, which knocks him out. Ash recalls Staravia and sends his Turtwig back out, who is more than ready for a rematch.

Ash's Turtwig uses Tackle, but Gardenia's Turtwig dodges and fires {{m|Leaf Storm}}. Ash's climbs into a tree, dodges and starts circling Gardenia's. Ash's tries to attack from behind with {{m|Bite}}, but Gardenia's beats him to the punch with Leech Seed, draining him of his energy just like before. Ash quickly orders his Turtwig to use {{m|Synthesis}}, right before Gardenia's Turtwig fires Leaf Storm, which Ash's quickly dodges by leaping into the sunlight, fully healing in the process. He fires Razor Leaf, which hits Gardenia's Turtwig. Both Turtwig rush toward each other with Tackle, causing a big impact. After the dust clears, Ash's Turtwig falters, but is able to remain standing as Gardenia's Turtwig faints. Gardenia recalls her Turtwig, and Dawn congratulates Turtwig on redeeming himself, although Brock notes that the Leech Seed is still in play, and may cause Turtwig trouble against Gardenia's last Pokémon.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket continues digging while the miner stands back. Eventually, they unearth a Red Sphere. The discovery gives Team Rocket renewed digging as they dig out many Spheres, the miner scooping them up. After digging the miner gives Team Rocket lunch. While they eat, the miner slips out with the Spheres. Team Rocket finishes and notices that he has the treasure, but they don't care, wanting to eat more. Gardenia summons {{p|Roserade}} as her final Pokémon. Turtwig goes in for a Tackle, but Roserade surreptitiously uses {{m|Grass Knot}} to trip Turtwig, before using {{m|Weather Ball}}, the sunlight doubling its power and turning it into a {{type|Fire}} move, to torch Turtwig and knock him out. Ash recalls Turtwig and sends out his last Pokémon, {{AP|Aipom}}, who makes a showy entrance as if she were in a [[Pokémon Contest]].

Aipom uses {{m|Double Team}} and runs toward Roserade, but Grass Knot eliminates all the duplicates. However, the real Aipom jumps over the knot and lands a {{m|Focus Punch}}. Roserade fires Magical Leaf, but Aipom easily dodges by jumping along through the trees. However, Roserade grabs Aipom with vines from its bouquets and throws her down, before using {{m|Flash}} to blind her. Aipom tries to use Focus Punch, but due to Roserade's Flash, she simply thrashes about while Roserade steps aside, before hitting her with Magical Leaf. Aipom gets back up, still blind and thrashing about. Ash tells Aipom to calm down and use her ears instead of her eyes. Roserade uses another Fire-type Weather Ball, but Aipom's hearing allows her to use Focus Punch to deflect the attack, and Roserade ends up being blasted by its own Weather Ball. Roserade uses another Magical Leaf, but Aipom regains her sight and uses {{m|Swift}} to not only block the attack, but also create a Swift ring around Roserade. Aipom uses Focus Punch to catalyze the Swift stars to converge, hammering Roserade relentlessly. Aipom quickly follows up with Focus Punch, which hits Roserade hard enough to break a tree, slam into the wall, and faint, which gives Ash the win. Ash hugs Aipom at triumphing on the opponent's home field. At sunset, Gardenia gives Ash the {{Badge|Forest}}.

* This episode introduces the [[Underground]] of [[Sinnoh]], but only to {{TRT}}.
* {{OBP|Yoko|DP037}} strongly resembles Kumiko Yamaguchi from the manga and anime series ''{{wp|Gokusen}}'', who is also voiced by 早水リサ ''Risa Hayamizu''.

* Assistant executive animation director Yamashita Megumi is dropped from the ending credits.
* The English title of this episode is a reference to {{wp|Tennessee Williams}}'s play ''{{wp|The Glass Menagerie}}''.
* This is one of the few episodes of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' where [[Dawn's Piplup]] does not appear.
* This is the first time since ''[[AG031|Just One of the Geysers]]'', almost 200 episodes ago, where Ash hasn't used {{AP|Pikachu}} in a Gym battle.
** Coincidentally, both are the second gyms of their respective regions.
* In this episode, Team Rocket uses a variation of their {{motto}}.
* Team Rocket doesn't blast off in this episode.
* The [[Pokémon in Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese]] title of this episode may be a reference to "Perfume de gardenias", a {{wp|bolero}} by {{wp|Rafael Hernández Marín}}, or the movie ''{{wp|Perfume de Gardênia}}'' by {{wp|Guilherme de Almeida Prado}}.

===Errors===
* In the European Portuguese dub, the episode [[title card]] is written in English.
* {{AP|Turtwig}} was affected by a {{m|Leech Seed}} from [[Gardenia]]'s {{p|Turtwig}}. However, being a {{t|Grass}} type, Turtwig would not be affected by Leech Seed in the {{pkmn|games}}.

===Dub edits===
* In the original Japanese version, when Team Rocket digs a hole and end up in the Sinnoh [[Underground]], they wonder if they dug to too far and ended up in {{wp|Hell}}. They also reference Hell in their motto. In the English dub, they say it doesn't look like a {{type|Grass}} Gym since it doesn't have grass. They also don't mention Hell in their motto, likely because of the religious connotations.

'''Cyclizar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モトトカゲ''' ''Mototokage'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} are said to be either ancient and future relatives of Cyclizar, respectively, or versions of it from parallel timelines.

==Biology==
[[File:Team Dragon Rampage Cyclizar.png|thumb|left|250px|A group of Cyclizar fitted with riding equipment]]
Cyclizar is a green reptilian Pokémon resembling a lizard. Its head is mostly black, with a green coloration between its {{wp|Casque (anatomy)|casque}} and lower jaw, along with orange circular cheeks. Its neck, paw pads, and tail are also black; the latter has a white tip. Its rear has a covering resembling a motorcycle seat, located at the base of its tail. On its throat is a black sac with a white inner coloring, resembling a rubber tire.

Cyclizar has a mild temperament. It has been kept by humans and used for transport since ancient times, with depictions of this behavior found in murals dating back 10,000 years ago. This relationship appears to be mutualistic since the warmth of Cyclizar's rider helps it avoid getting cold, along with lifting its spirit. Cyclizar stores energy in the folds of its throat, allowing it to run continuously over long distances while carrying a passenger. When carrying a human, Cyclizar can reach a speed of over 70 mph (120 km/h). Cyclizar maintains its balance and absorbs shock while running by using its hard head and thick yet supple tail. It also uses its head and tail to attack during battles.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/cyclizar/ Cyclizar — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> Cyclizar is strong enough to carry luggage and equipment used by humans. It has been seen equipped with metal seats and headlights, allowing humans to ride it more easily and navigate. In other cases, it has been seen equipped with a jet seat, allowing it to move faster as seen with [[Team Star]].

According to [[Jacq]], Cyclizar has three [[form]]s. First, Cyclizar's basic form is where it walks on all four legs. Second, the battle form is where it stands on its hind legs in order to battle. Finally, the ride form, which it assumes when humans ride on it. When Cyclizar is being ridden on, it puffs up its throat sac and curls its tail, making the appearance of wheels.

Both {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} bear a resemblance to Cyclizar, a detail even noted in their own Pokédex entries and by several people in [[Paldea]]. According to [[AI Sada]]{{Sup/9|S}}/[[AI Turo]]{{Sup/9|V}}, the Pokémon are relatives of Cyclizar from the ancient past and distant future respectively. However, according to a version of [[Professor Sada]]{{Sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{Sup/9|V}} that was summoned at the [[Crystal Pool]], both Pokémon are counterparts of Cyclizar from {{pkmn|multiverse|parallel timelines}}.

==Trivia==
* Cyclizar shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Skiddo}} and {{p|Gogoat}}. They are all known as the Mount Pokémon.
* Cyclizar has several unique attributes:
** It is the only {{type|Dragon}} [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] in the {{egg|Field}} [[Egg Group]].
** It is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 501.
** It is the only [[Generation IX]] Pokémon with a [[Paradox Pokémon]] counterpart.
*** It is also the only known Pokémon that is shorter than its {{p|Miraidon|future Paradox Pokémon relative}}.
* Cyclizar is one of three Pokémon with more than one Paradox Pokémon counterpart, the others being {{p|Donphan}} and {{p|Volcarona}}.

===Merchandise===
* Cyclizar was featured in the digital play/card listing in the [[2023 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Cyclizar may be based on lizards, most notably the {{wp|Dactyloidae|anole}} and the genera ''{{wp|Sitana}}'' and ''{{wp|Sarada (lizard)|Sarada}}'' — the latter two are collectively known as fan-throated lizards. It also has traits from other lizard species: its foot pads resemble those of the {{wp|gecko}}, its tail resembles the prehensile tail of the {{wp|chameleon}}, and its {{wp|Casque (anatomy)|casque}} appears to be based on that of the chameleon or the {{wp|Corytophanidae|helmeted lizards}}. Some elements of its design appear to be based on parts of a motorcycle: its casque resembles both a motorcycle windshield and a helmet, its cheeks are similar to turn signal lights, its rear looks like a motorcycle seat, and the protrusion on its chest together with its tail resemble rubber tires, the latter especially when curled. The idea of being both lizard and motorcycle, as well as Cyclizar's {{t|Dragon}} typing, may be inspired by the {{wp|Ctenophorus cristatus|bicycle dragon}}.

Cyclizar may represent a "{{wp|Missing link (human evolution)|missing link}}" between {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}, with its anatomy reflecting an intermediate state between the two. For example, Koraidon's second and third digits are separated but connected by a skin membrane, whereas Cyclizar's seem to be partially fused, and Miraidon's are fully fused. Cyclizar and Miraidon share an elongated crest, subtympanic shields, a beak-like snout, and a lack of feathers, while Cyclizar and Koraidon share black tire-like scales on the tail and chest region, black pads on the inner sides of their feet, and a lack of exposed claws.

====Name origin====
Cyclizar may be a combination of ''cycle'' and ''lizard''.

Mototokage may be a combination of ''moto'' (Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese for "motorcycle") and 蜥蜴 ''tokage'' (lizard).

'''Altaria''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チルタリス''' ''Tyltalis'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Swablu}} starting at [[level]] 35.

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

==Biology==
Altaria is a blue, avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its body and cloud-like wings are covered in fluffy, white feathers. It often folds its wings behind it, obscuring its back. Two long, blue plumes extend like streamers from the back of its head. It has a short, hooked beak and prominent cheek patches, both of which are white. Additionally, it has beady, black eyes. It has a long neck and short legs protruding from its fluffy body. The feet are blue, with four toes, three claws forward, and one backward. The tail comprises five feathers, the outer two longer than the inner ones.

This Pokémon uses its wings to catch updrafts and soar across the sky calmly and gracefully. It gracefully glides through the clouds, often while singing or humming in a soprano voice. Its voice seems to have special properties that induce a dreamy state for listeners. Altaria can be very affectionate, enveloping people it has bonded with in its cotton-like wings. While normally kind, Altaria can attack foes with shrill cries without mercy if provoked. As shown in the {{aniseries|HZ}} episode ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', Altaria's beak is strong enough to shatter boulders. According to [[Solana]] in the {{aniseries|AG}} episode ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis!]]'', Altaria uses geomagnetic fields to navigate their flight, and any disturbances can affect their sense of direction. Altaria is often found living in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}, though it also inhabits mountain ranges. Altaria has been shown to enjoy water in both the {{pkmn|animated series}} and the {{Trading Card Game}}, although if its wings are exposed to too much of it, they lose their fluffiness, revealing their actual anatomy. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Altaria is known to sleep while wrapped inside its wings. While sleeping in its soft, beautiful wings, Altaria may be enjoying the most comfortable sleep ever.

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

Mega Altaria has more extensive cloud-like plumage, with a large, fluffy mass extending from its back. The feathers have grown as a self-protective measure and glimmer with an iridescent sheen. Its cottony wings are more distinct than its base form, and its blue belly is now exposed. Additional fluff surrounds its neck like a collar, and its head is adorned with a hat-like crest. A single, small feather curls out from its forehead, though its facial features are unchanged. Its tail feathers have grown into a long, wavy streamer with three longer central plumes.

Mega Altaria's singing voice is even more beautiful than its regular form. By singing its beautiful melodies, Mega Altaria's crystal-clear voice can make its listeners experience a dreamy wonderment.<ref>[https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1967996909672407224 Pokémon Official X Account]</ref> It is known for its pleasant personality and is not timid.<ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-altaria Mega Altaria]</ref> Mega Altaria's {{wp|Down feather|down}} is so soft that it seems as though just one touch can melt it. In reality, the down is so strong that just a few strands of it could be used to lift a dump truck.

==Trivia==
* Altaria and the {{p|Applin}} family require only 600,000 experience points to reach level 100, the least of all Dragon-type Pokémon.
* Altaria is the only {{type|Dragon|Dragon-type}} Pokémon that evolves from a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
** It is also the only Pokémon whose pre-Evolution and [[Mega Evolution]] do not share any types.
* No other Pokémon has the [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|same type combination]] as Mega Altaria.
** Mega Altaria is also the only Mega Evolved Pokémon with a unique type combination.
* In [[Pokémon Sleep]], due to dual-type Pokémon being retooled into single-type Pokémon, Altaria was classified as a pure Dragon-type, and consequently was the only Dragon-type Pokémon to be available in the game at launch; more Dragon-type Pokémon, such as {{P|Dratini}} and {{P|Bagon}}, would be introduced to the game later on.

===Origin===
Altaria appears to be primarily inspired by a {{wp|Bluebird}}. Its Dragon typing and the elongated body it gains after evolution may also suggest influence from {{wp|Chinese dragons}}. In Chinese culture, dragons, much like bluebirds, bear associations with auspiciousness and good fortune. Another possible motif is the traditional connection between Chinese dragons and clouds, where {{wp|Feilong|flying dragons}} are frequently depicted soaring through or riding upon them.

Altaria may also be based on a {{wp|Peng (mythology)|Peng}}, a Chinese legendary bird of enormous size, said to travel 3000 {{wp|li (unit)|li}} in one flap of its mighty, {{wp|cloud}}-like wings. It is often portrayed as having a fish's head and whiskers. Altaria may also resemble a {{wp|cockatiel}}, albeit with clouds as wings. Similar characteristics shared with cockatiels include its crest and cheek spots. The resemblance is further expanded upon by Altaria's {{Shiny}} form resembling a {{wp|lutino cockatiel}}, which is famous for its mostly white and yellow coloration.

The shape of the fluff on Mega Altaria's head may draw inspiration from {{wp|dutch cap}}s or {{wp|ushanka}}s.

====Name origin====
Altaria may be a combination of ''{{wp|alto}}'' (Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian for ''high''; musical {{wp|Part (music)|part}} between tenor and soprano) and ''aria'' (Italian for ''air''; musical piece for a single voice). Both words being terminologies used in music relate to Altaria's singing abilities. The name may also refer to the star ''{{wp|Altair}}'' (named after the Arabic phrase Al-Nisr Al-Ṭa'ir, "the flying eagle")<ref>https://www.dictionary.com/browse/altair</ref>, the brightest star in the constellation {{wp|Aquila (constellation)|Aquila}}, with the latter's name being the Latin word for eagle; or the former name of the star {{wp|Delta Draconis}}, ''Altais'', a yellow star in the constellation {{wp|Draco (constellation)|Draco}}, with the latter's name being the Latin word for dragon.

Tyltalis may be derived from チルット ''Tyltto'' ({{p|Swablu}}) and ''alis'' (Latin for "wings"). It may also be a reference to the play ''{{wp|The Blue Bird (play)|The Blue Bird}}'' (L'Oiseau bleu) by Belgian playwright {{wp|Maurice Maeterlinck}}, featuring two siblings named ''Mytyl'' and ''Tyltyl'' tasked in finding the {{wp|bluebird of happiness}}. The latter half of the name may be derived from ''{{wp|cockatrice}}'', a mythical creature with a draconic or serpentine body and a rooster's head. It may also involve チル ''chiru'' ({{wp|Ryukyuan languages|Ryukyuan}} for crane) or ''Tyl'' (alternate name of the star {{wp|Epsilon Draconis}}, located in the constellation Draco) and ''Altais'' (former name of the star Delta Draconis, also located in the constellation Draco).

'''Charmander''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトカゲ''' ''Hitokage'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Charizard}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, Charmander is one of the three [[Kanto first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Kanto]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

==Biology==
[[File:Ash Charmander waiting for Damian.png|thumb|left|250px|Charmander protecting the flame on its tail from the rain]]
Charmander is a bipedal, {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a primarily orange body and blue eyes. Its underside from the chest down and the soles of its feet are cream-colored. It has two small fangs visible in its upper jaw and two smaller fangs in its lower jaw. A fire burns at the tip of this Pokémon's slender tail, which has blazed there since Charmander's birth.

The flame can indicate Charmander's health and mood, burning brightly when the Pokémon is strong, weakly when it is exhausted, wavering when it is happy, and blazing when it is enraged. It is said that Charmander would die if its flame were to go out. However, if the Pokémon is healthy, the flame will continue to burn even if it gets a bit wet and is said to steam in the rain. Charmander can be found in hot, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas}}. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. However, it is found far more often in the ownership of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. As seen in [[Pokémon Snap]] and [[New Pokémon Snap]], Charmander exhibits pack behavior, calling others of its species if it finds food and watching the flames on each other's tails to ensure they don't go out. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Charmander is known to sleep while curled up. Supposedly, it draws warmth from the flame on its tail. During quiet nights, the sounds of its flame can be heard by listening carefully while Charmander sleeps.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Evolution===
Charmander [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Charmeleon}}, which evolves into {{p|Charizard}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
*If the player chose {{p|Bulbasaur}}, the player's [[rival]], {{ga|Blue}}, will pick Charmander in [[Generation I]] and {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}}. Blue will use this Charmander in his first three battles against the player before it evolves into {{p|Charmeleon}}.
*[[Professor Sycamore]] will use a Charmander in his first battle against the player in {{g|X and Y}}.

====In the spin-off games====
* [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]: Charmander is one of {{OBP|Pikachu|PokéPark}}'s best friends. After falling through the mysterious tunnel, he almost lands into a pool of molten lava, only to be saved by the [[Lava Zone]] leader, {{p|Blaziken}}, who takes him in as his pupil and trains to become stronger. After he's been found, he journeys to the [[Meeting Place]], where he helps {{p|Piplup}} mend the balloon and makes fireworks. He later accompanies Pikachu to the [[Sky Pavilion]] along with {{p|Piplup}} and {{p|Chikorita}}, where he meets {{p|Mew}}. Once the [[Sky Prism]] has been restored, Charmander celebrates by firing off the fireworks he made.

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Charmander anime.png|thumb|250px|Charmander in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Charmander]]=====
Charmander physically debuted in ''[[EP011|Charmander - The Stray Pokémon]]'', where {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} found him after he was abandoned by his {{pkmn|Trainer}}, [[Damian]], who only cared about raising strong Pokémon. At first, Charmander refused to leave the spot he was at, believing Damian would return for him. However, when a rainstorm picked up, Charmander grew ill and Ash took him to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Charmander eventually realized that Damian had been abusing him, and allowed Ash to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} him. He later evolved into Charmeleon in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', and then into Charizard in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''.

Ash's Charmander also appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from {{aniseries|PTS}}. In this continuity, it previously belonged to [[Cross]] and evolved into Charmeleon after defeating a {{p|Jigglypuff}} in {{pkmn|battle}}. It later evolved into Charizard while battling Cross's {{p|Incineroar}}.

=====[[Zippo]]=====
[[Ritchie]] owned a Charmander [[nickname]]d [[Zippo]], which debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. It would evolve into Charmeleon by its appearance in ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]''.

=====[[Team Go-Getters]]=====
A Charmander starred in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]'' as the leader of Team Go-Getters.

=====[[Alain's Charmander]]=====
A Charmander appeared in a flashback in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'' as the unevolved form of [[Alain]]'s Charizard.

=====[[Trevor's Charmander]]=====
{{an|Trevor}}'s Charmander first appeared in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]''. It would be revealed to have evolved into Charmeleon by ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]'', and then into Charizard by ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]''.

=====[[Leon's Charmander]]=====
In ''[[JN043|Sword and Shield: The Darkest Day!]]'', {{an|Leon}}'s Charizard was revealed to have been a Charmander in a flashback. It made more flashback appearances later in {{aniseries|JN}}.

=====Other=====

It later evolved into a Charmeleon between ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'' and ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'' and then a Charizard between ''File 2: Cubone'' and ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''.

====Other====

==In the manga==
[[File:X Salamè Charmander.png|thumb|220px|Charmander in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Blue's Charmander]]=====
Charmander debuted in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''. It first appeared in {{adv|Red}}'s fantasy, then as one of {{adv|Blue}}'s first Pokémon, received from his grandfather {{adv|Professor Oak}}. He has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} before facing off against [[Brock]] of [[Pewter City]], and then to {{p|Charizard}} before the [[Silph Co.]] {{pkmn|battle}}s against [[Team Rocket]].

=====[[Salamè]]=====
After {{adv|X}}'s {{p|Chespin}}, [[Marisso]], lost to him in a battle, X decided to take him and named him Salamè in ''[[PS559|Chespin Sows the Seeds of Change]]''. He later evolved into a Charmeleon alongside Marisso, who evolved into a {{p|Quilladin}} in ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]''.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[PS017|The Jynx Jinx]]'', a Charmander appeared as a silhouette when {{adv|Green}} talked about {{adv|Mew}}.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
{{main|Green's Charmander}}
In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], {{PPM|Red}}'s rival, {{PPM|Green}}, chose Charmander as his [[first partner Pokémon]]. Green's Charmander is mischievous and has a rivalry with [[Red's Clefairy]]. Green's Charmander has evolved into {{p|Charizard}}. It seems to be able to skip the {{p|Charmeleon}} stage, as it was seen evolving directly into Charizard. Although it has devolved back to the Charmander stage, it currently seems to have permanently evolved back into Charizard.

{{OBP|Blue|Ruby-Sapphire}} also owns a Charmander.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
{{main|Ash's Charmander}}
{{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}'s Charmander makes a few appearances in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

The capture of Ash's Charmander diverges considerably from ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''. In the manga, [[Damian]] seems to have abandoned his Charmander at the beginning of the chapter ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]'', but it turns out that he had just been injured and went to the hospital.

Ash is shown to own a Charmander despite this, his own Charmander first appears in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Ash's Charmander's capture is not shown in the manga, instead, when Charmander first appears from its {{i|Poké Ball}}, it is simply stated that "Ash has been busy since the last comic".

Ash's Charmander reappears as a {{p|Charizard}} in the chapter ''[[ET13|The Indigo Finals]]'' at the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. In this chapter, Charizard battles [[Zippo|Charley]], [[Ritchie]]'s own Charizard.

===Magical Pokémon Journey===
{{main|Peanut's Charmander}}
{{main|Mandy (MPJ)}}
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the sickly Trainer [[Peanut]] owns an aggressive Charmander. Peanut's Charmander first appears in ''[[PPP11|Charmander's Peanut]]''.

===Pokémon Zensho===
{{main|Satoshi's Charmander (Zensho)}}
In [[Pokémon Zensho]], {{Zensho|Satoshi}} chooses Charmander as his first partner Pokémon.

===Pokémon: Yeah! I Got Pokémon!===
A Charmander appeared in a background collage in ''[[GDZ09|Catch the Poliwag!]]''.

A Charmander appeared in [[GDZ23]].

A Charmander first appeared in [[GDZ33]], under the ownership of a researcher.

===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===
{{OBP|Akira|LDK}} owns a Charmander, as seen in [[LDK1]]. It evolved into a Charizard in the same chapter.

===Movie adaptations===
A Charmander appeared in a flashback in [[ICYR1]], under the ownership of {{an|Professor Oak}}.

===Pokémon Journeys===
{{main|Leon's Charmander}}
A Charmander appeared in a flashback in ''[[JNM13|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken! (Part 1)]]'', under the ownership of [[Leon]]. It is now his Charizard in the present day.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Charmander appears as a trophy.

====Trophy information====
''"A Lizard Pokémon. It just downright likes hot stuff. The always-burning tail indicates its mood--waving gently when content and burning intensely when angry. If the tail were to go out, it would be the end of Charmander's life. Its tail is believed to emit steam when it rains. Charmander evolves into Charmeleon by leveling up."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Charmander appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}. Its Spirit Battle is against a tiny {{SSB|Charizard}} and is set on the Battlefield form of {{sbw|The Great Cave Offensive}}, which has a lava floor.

==={{DetPikMov}}===
Multiple Charmander appeared in {{DetPikMov}}.

===Celestial===

==Merchandise==
Charmander was featured as:
* a light-up toy in the [[1999 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys]].
* a light-up Power Card in the [[2000 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys]].
* a light-up tail toy in the [[2001 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].
* a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card and stickers in the [[2021 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

==Trivia==
* Charmander, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.

===Design variations===
In its [[Generation I]] [[#Sprites|sprites]] and original key artwork, Charmander is depicted with a small line of spikes on its back. These spikes are also seen on [[Blue's Charmander]] in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, where the spikes are larger and easier to see, and on [[Green's Charizard|Green's Charmander]] in the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga.

Additionally, Charmander is depicted with [[Pokémon controversies#Four-fingered hands|an inconsistent number of fingers]] in its designs. The original sprites designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]] for {{game|Red and Green|s}} featured three fingers, while the artwork [[Ken Sugimori]] drew based on those sprites had four fingers. Currently, the {{pkmn|animated series}}, {{pkmn|movie}}s, and [[List of animated series specials|specials]], as well as artwork unrelated to {{pkmn|games}} and {{pkmn|merchandise}}, use the three-finger design; while the key artwork used since {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as well as the games' 3D models and artwork based on those (such as artwork for {{LGPE}}), feature the four-finger design. The number of fingers used for {{Trading Card Game}} card art often varies between illustrators, and even within a single illustrator's works; compare {{TCG|Boundaries Crossed}} {{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Charmander|18}} and {{TCG|Generations}} {{TCG ID|Generations|Charmander|RC3}}, both illustrated by [[Akira Komayama]].

===Cultural impact===
[[File:Niue Dollar Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|$1 coins from {{wp|Niue}}]]
In 2001, the country of {{wp|Niue}} issued a $1 commemorative {{wp|silver}} coin featuring Charmander on one side and the national coat of arms on the other.<ref name=PCGSNiueSilver>[https://www.pcgs.com/pop/detail/silver-coinage-dollars/196330?sn=1011053&p=PR&ccid=196330 PCGS Population Report - Niue Silver Coinage, Dollars]</ref>

===Concept and development===
Charmander and its evolved forms were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website] (archived, Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://funs-project.com/poplab/007/index_2.html Fun's Project interview with Atsuko Nishida] (Japanese)</ref>

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Charmander}}
Charmander's design was based on Charizard in such a way that it was surprising to see it evolving into the latter Pokémon.<ref name=Origin>[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 - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref> In particular, Charmander was designed as a {{wp|lizard}}.<ref name=Origin/> Based on its name, Charmander is also based on a {{wp|salamander}}, which are amphibians that physically resemble lizards. {{wp|Cultural depictions of salamanders|In folklore and mythology}}, salamanders are often thought of as fire spirits capable of surviving in extreme heat or flames. As Charizard is based on a {{wp|European dragon}}, Charmander's lizardlike design seems to reference how Western dragons in folklore are heavily inspired by lizards and other reptiles, as well as how various types of lizards are likened to (and named after) dragons due to this connection. Its bipedal design resembles a baby {{wp|theropod}} dinosaur.

====Name origin====
Charmander is a combination of ''[[Wiktionary:char#English|char]]'' (to burn) and ''{{wp|salamander}}'', as stated in the January 1999 "POCKEMON JOURNAL" on the official [[Game Freak]] website.<ref>(January 1999). [https://web.archive.org/web/19990221135156/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/NEWS/NEWS.HTM GAME FREAK | POCKEMON JOURNAL] (archive)</ref> Alternatively, in a 2016 interview with [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]] by INSIDE, Charmander is stated to be a combination of ''{{wp|charcoal}}'' (carbon residue produced by strongly heating wood) and ''{{wp|Salamandra}}'' (a genus of salamander including four species of fire salamander).<ref>(February 27, 2016). "[https://web.archive.org/web/20220928180754/https://www.inside-games.jp/article/2016/02/27/96339_2.html ポケモンが現実世界と仮想世界を繋いでいく、20年目の挑戦・・・株式会社ポケモン代表取締役社長・石原恒和氏インタビュー]" ''inside-games.jp''.</ref>

Hitokage may come from [[Wiktionary:火蜥蜴#Japanese|火蜥蜴]] ''hitokage'' ({{wp|Salamanders in folklore|mythical salamander}} or {{wp|fire salamander}}), which is a combination of [[Wiktionary:火#Japanese|火]] ''hi'' (fire) and [[Wiktionary:蜥蜴#Japanese|蜥蜴]] ''tokage'' (lizard).

'''Charmeleon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザード''' ''Lizardo'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charmander}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Charizard}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
Charmeleon is a bipedal, {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has dark red scales and a cream underside from the chest down. It has blue eyes and a long snout with a slightly hooked tip. On the back of its head is a single horn-like protrusion. It has relatively long arms with three sharp claws. Its short legs have {{wp|plantigrade}} feet with three claws and cream-colored soles. The tip of its long, powerful tail has a flame burning on it. The temperature rises to unbearable levels if Charmeleon swings its tail.

Charmeleon has a vicious, hotheaded nature and will constantly seek out opponents. Strong opponents excite this Pokémon, causing it to spout bluish-white flames that torch its surroundings. Charmeleon enjoys tormenting the opponents it fights. However, it will relax once it has won a {{pkmn|battle}}. It is rare in the wild but can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Charmleon is known to sleep with a laid-back posture, using its hands as a pillow. Its fierce fervor disappears when it sleeps.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Evolution===
Charmeleon [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charmander}} and evolves into {{p|Charizard}}.

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

Anne]] and in the [[Pokémon Tower]] before it further evolves into {{p|Charizard}}.

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

==Trivia==
* In English, the {{pkmn|category}} "Flame Pokémon" is shared by Charmeleon, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Flareon}}, Kantonian {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Infernape}}.
** In Japanese, Flareon has the category ほのおポケモン ''Honō Pokémon'' (Flame Pokémon), while the other four Pokémon share the category かえんポケモン ''Kaen Pokémon'' (Flame Pokémon).
* Charmeleon, {{p|Quilava}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
* In [[Generation IX]], Charmeleon and its evolved form are unable to learn {{m|Metal Claw}} via [[TM]], but its pre-evolved form can.
** Similarly, Charmeleon cannot learn {{m|Fire Spin}} by [[level]] up, while its evolutionary relatives can.

===Design variations===
In {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Charmeleon's [[#Sprites|sprites]] depict it with what appears to be a {{wp|Horn (anatomy)|keratinous horn}}, which is more clearly seen on the back sprite. The front sprite in [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Pokémon Blue]] shows Charmeleon with a dark red crest instead of a white horn, which was also carried over to the localized Generation I games.

===Concept and development===
Charmeleon, along with its evolutionary relatives, was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website] (archived, Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://funs-project.com/poplab/007/index_2.html Fun's Project interview with Atsuko Nishida] (Japanese)</ref>

===Origin===
Charmeleon may be based on {{wp|lizard}}s, as its name suggests. It could also be based on {{wp|Legendary salamander in popular culture|mythical fire salamander}}, as salamanders and lizards are very similar. The crest on its head resembles that of the dinosaur [[wp:Parasaurolophus|Parasaurolophus]].

====Name origin====
Charmeleon may be a combination of ''[[Wiktionary:char#English|char]]'' (to burn) and ''{{wp|chameleon}}''.

Lizardo may be derived from the transcription of the English word ''{{wp|lizard}}''.

'''Magikarp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイキング''' ''Koiking'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Gyarados}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
[[File:Magikarp Jump Pattern 30.png|thumb|left|200px|The "Blue Raindrops" variety of Magikarp]]
Magikarp is a {{wp|fish|piscine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with large, heavy reddish-orange scales. It has large, vacant eyes and pink lips. Its {{wp|fish fin|pectoral}} and tail fins are white. On its back is a stiff, three-peaked yellow fin, resembling a crown; there is an identical fin on its underside. It also has long {{wp|barbel (anatomy)|barbels}}. The barbels are white on a female and pale-yellow on a male.

A long-lived Magikarp is able to utilize its immense splashing power to leap high enough to scale mountains. It also has a strong enough immune system to survive in the most polluted of waters. However, it is usually overlooked by Trainers because of its slow movements and physical weakness: even in the heat of battle, it will do nothing but flop around. It is believed that the ancestors of Magikarp were actually much stronger than modern Magikarp, and this led scientists to research this species.

Magikarp is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|many bodies of water}}, such as lakes, rivers, and ponds. However, due to its weak swimming ability, it usually lives downstream of the water's flow. In [[Generation I]], {{m|Splash}} was its [[signature move]]. It is often seen using Splash to leap out of the water, which makes it an easy target for predators such as {{p|Pidgeotto}} and {{p|Pidgeot}}. {{p|Frillish}} is also known to prey on Magikarp.

In [[Hoppy Town]], there are at least [[Variant Pokémon#Magikarp|31 unique pattern varieties]] of Magikarp, with their scales coming in colors such as gray, black, white, purple, pink, violet, apricot, and brown. These patterns can be classified by groups, depending on how the Magikarp looks while it is still small; a specific pattern arises when it becomes bigger. Which patterns can be caught depend on the type of Old Rod; the better the rod, the more groups of patterns can be fished. The people in Hoppy Town train their Magikarp to jump the highest in order to compete in a series of [[League]]s to win prizes.

===Evolution===
Magikarp evolves into {{p|Gyarados}}.

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

* On July 28, 2016, and May 12, 2017, [[The Pokémon Company]] and [[The Pokémon Company International]] respectively posted a Magikarp-themed music video onto their YouTube channels, titled [[the Magikarp Song]].
* Magikarp and Gyarados, from the {{TCG|Neo Revelation|Neo Revelation set}}, were the first Shiny Pokémon to be {{TCG ID|Neo Revelation|Shining Magikarp|66|featured in}} the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

===Concept and development===
Internal code names in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] suggest that Magikarp and Gyarados may have been planned to receive [[convergent species]] based on them, codenamed OKAKINGU, literally "hill king" from Koiking, and OKAGYARADOSU, literally "hill Gyarados". These code names were instead assigned to {{p|Toedscool}} and {{p|Toedscruel}}, respectively.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Magikarp}}
Magikarp appears to be based on the {{wp|Asian carp}}, which are easily frightened by disturbances in water and can jump 8–10 feet (2.5–3 m.) in the air. Its Shiny coloration may be a visual pun on a {{wp|goldfish}}. The golden dorsal fin of Magikarp may be based on a crown which likely originate from the pun on the Japanese word for goldfish 金魚 ''Kingyo''. Magikarp's permanently open mouth may be a reference to ''{{wp|koinobori}}'', a carp-shaped {{wp|windsock}} traditionally flown to celebrate {{wp|Children's Day (Japan)|Children's Day}} in Japan.

Magikarp's Evolution into Gyarados may be based on a legend about how carp that leaped over the {{wp|Longmen (mythology)|Dragon Gate}} would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles. This may have inspired an element in {{g|Snap}} where, after certain steps are taken, a Magikarp can splash its way into a waterfall where it evolves, as well as in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, as there is a waterfall in the Fabled Springs area of the [[Coronet Highlands]] where a school of Magikarp can be found at the plunge pool of the waterfall, while a small population of Gyarados can be found at the edge of the waterfall.

====Name origin====
Magikarp may be a combination of ''magic'' (referring to its drastic power increase upon evolving into Gyarados or to magical goldfishes) and ''{{wp|carp}}''.

Koiking may be a combination of 鯉 ''{{wp|koi}}'' (carp) and ''king'', which may come from 金魚 ''kingyo'' (goldfish).

'''Totodile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ワニノコ''' ''Waninoko'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Croconaw}} starting at [[level]] 18, which evolves into {{p|Feraligatr}} starting at level 30.

Along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Cyndaquil}}, Totodile 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 [[Lumiose first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Lumiose City]] in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, alongside Chikorita and {{p|Tepig}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Sleep Style 0158-1.png|thumb|left|200px|Totodile sleeps with one eye open]]
Totodile is a bipedal, {{wp|Crocodylia|crocodilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with well-developed jaws. It has red eyes with ridges above them, black markings around its eyes, and several sharp teeth. On its chest is a yellow, V-shaped marking that extends to its arms; there is a thin line through the center of the marking. Totodile has five fingers and three toes. Down its back is a row of three red spines with a small, red ridge on either side. The tip of its tail has a single red spine as well.

Totodile tends to be both playful and rough by nature and has a habit of biting anything it sees, including its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Despite its size, Totodile's jaws are capable of crushing anything, so it sometimes causes serious injuries. Turning one's back on Totodile is considered to be a bad idea as it can bite without warning. Totodile are scarce in the wild, though it can be found around bodies of water like {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|rivers, ponds, and lakes}}. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Totodile and its Evolutions are known to sleep with one eye open and rest only half of its brain at a time — a practice known as {{wp|Unihemispheric slow-wave sleep|unihemispheric sleep}}. This practice is hypothesized to be a defense mechanism against enemy attacks.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Totodile was the only Generation II first partner Pokémon to appear only as a random trophy, not in a Poké Ball.

====Melee trophy information====
''"Little but feisty is the best description for these Water-type Pokémon. The first thing they do when they see something move is latch onto it with their powerful jaws. Totodile was one of the three Pokémon that [[Professor Elm]] offered to Trainers in [[Generation II|Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal]]. They evolve into {{p|Croconaw}}."''

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Big Jaw Pokémon. This alligator-like Pokémon stands on two legs. It has a small body but an impressive jaw that boasts potent bite power. It can do serious damage to someone even if it's just playing. Its tendency to chomp down on anything that moves in front of it means Trainers have to be extra cautious around it. When it levels up, it evolves into Croconaw."''

==={{DetPikMov}}===
A Totodile appeared in {{DetPikMov}}.

==Trivia==
===Merchandise===
* Totodile was featured as a toy with a flapping mouth in the [[2016 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].
* Totodile was featured as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card and on stickers in the [[2021 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Totodile appears to be based on a baby {{wp|Crocodilia|crocodilian}}. The yellow marking on its chest may be a reference to the yellow stripes on young {{wp|American alligator}}s. In {{g|Sleep}}, Totodile and its [[Evolution]]s are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles. The crest on Totodile's back is similar to the {{wp|mohawk}} hairstyle which may allude to Totodile's boisterous personality.

====Name origin====
Totodile may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:tot#Noun|tot]]'' (small child) and ''{{wp|crocodile}}''.

Waninoko may be taken to mean [[wiktionary:鰐#Japanese|鰐]][[wiktionary:の#Etymology 2|の]][[wiktionary:子#Japanese|子]] ''wani no ko'' (child of a crocodile/{{wp|alligator}}).

'''Croconaw''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アリゲイツ''' ''Alligates'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Totodile}} starting at [[level]] 18 and evolves into {{p|Feraligatr}} starting at level 30.

==Biology==
[[File:Sleep Style 0159-1.png|thumb|left|200px|Croconaw sleeps with one eye open]]
Croconaw is a bipedal, {{wp|Crocodylia|crocodilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has well-developed, rounded jaws with two fangs visible in the corners of the lower jaw even when closed. Its eyes are red with black markings around them. There are three clusters of red spikes on its body: one with three points on top of its head, one with two points between its shoulders, and a diamond-shaped one near the tip of its tail. While most of its body is blue, its lower jaw is yellow and there is an asymmetrical, yellow-and-blue pattern around its chest that resembles a spotted animal skin.

Although Croconaw is described as always having forty-eight fangs lining its mouth, only six are discernible. The tips of its teeth are slanted backward similar to a barbed fish hook; this makes them impossible to remove once embedded in something. Once Croconaw has bitten down onto something, it will not let go until it loses its teeth; any missing teeth will quickly grow back. Croconaw can rarely be found {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|near water}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Croconaw and its evolutionary relatives are known to sleep with one eye open and rest only half of its brain at a time — a practice known as {{wp|Unihemispheric slow-wave sleep|unihemispheric sleep}}. During sleep, as one half of Croconaw's brain rests, the eye on the same side opens. This allows Croconaw to watch for enemy attacks while it sleeps.

===Evolution===
Croconaw evolves from {{p|Totodile}} and evolves into {{p|Feraligatr}}.

{{main|Croconaw (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Croconaw is the first partner Pokémon with the shortest level gap between Evolutions at 12, evolving from Totodile at level 18, and into Feraligatr at level 30.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Generation V|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s from being traded on the [[GTS]], an English-language Croconaw cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

===Origin===
Croconaw appears to be based on a {{wp|crocodilia}}n. In {{g|Sleep}}, Croconaw and its evolutionary relatives are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles.

It also appears to have a {{wp|prehistory|prehistoric}} theme, as its head spikes and chest patterns seems to be based on the wild hair and animal-skin cloth worn by {{wp|caveman|cavemen}}, while its head resembles that of a {{wp|theropoda|theropod dinosaur}}. The crest on Croconaw's head is similar to the {{wp|mohawk}} hairstyle which may allude to Croconaw's boisterous personality.

====Name origin====
Croconaw may be a combination of ''{{wp|crocodile}}'' and ''[[Wiktionary:gnaw|gnaw]]'', though it may also involve ''[[Wiktionary:maw#Noun|maw]]'' or ''[[Wiktionary:jaw#Noun|jaw]]''.

Alligates may be derived from ''{{wp|alligator}}''.

'''Chikorita''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''{{j|チコリータ}}''' ''Chicorita'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Bayleef}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Meganium}} starting at level 32.

Along with {{p|Cyndaquil}} and {{p|Totodile}}, Chikorita 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 [[Lumiose first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Lumiose City]] in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, alongside {{p|Tepig}} and Totodile.

==Biology==
Chikorita is a small, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a pale green body, a large head in proportion to the rest of its body, a pair of large eyes with red irises, and a stubby tail. Each of its short legs end in a single white nail. There are dark green buds around its neck and a large, green leaf on top of its head.

Chikorita has a gentle personality<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/ Chikorita | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> and is docile by nature. The leaf on its head emits a pleasant, sweet aroma, which can soothe even battling Pokémon. Chikorita also uses it to sense the temperature and humidity of the area around itself, checking for a nice, warm place for it to sunbathe or, as mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, to sleep in.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> Chikorita can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}, but it is rare to come by and is generally only found under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} due to its status as a [[first partner Pokémon]]. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]].

===Evolution===
Chikorita evolves into {{p|Bayleef}}, which evolves into {{p|Meganium}}.

[[File:Chikorita SSBB.png|220px|thumb|Chikorita in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]

Chikorita returns to do the same as it did in Melee, unleashing {{m|Razor Leaf}} when released from a Poké Ball. It swings its leaf around violently until the green blades fly directly in front of it for a few seconds.

''"A Leaf Pokémon. It loves sunbathing and can use the leaf on its head to check the temperature and humidity around it. Chikorita releases a sweet aroma from its leaf to becalm opponents into a slumber. It can also learn moves to help recover all Pokémon allies. Chikorita evolves into Bayleef by leveling up."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Chikorita returns as a {{sbw|Spirit}}. The corresponding Spirit Battle is set on {{sbw|Distant Planet}} with the Slumber Floor Hazard active. The puppet fighter is a giant {{OBP|Ivysaur|Super Smash Bros.}}, whose attacks will become critical hits at random.

==Trivia==
* Due to a programming error, Chikorita is not required to receive the [[Diploma]] in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
* In the animated series, Chikorita have had the most {{pkmn|Trainer}}s among the [[Johto first partner Pokémon]]. One Chikorita has been trained by each of {{Ash}}, {{an|Casey}}, [[Vincent]], {{OBP|Silver|HS18}}, {{an|Lyra}}, and [[Horace]]. However, Ash is the only one who is confirmed to not have received Chikorita as a first partner Pokémon.
* The Chikorita line is the only [[Evolution|evolutionary line]] of a [[first partner Pokémon]] to keep their Japanese voices in the English-language [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, due to having nearly identical names in English and Japanese.

===Concept and development===
[[File:Spr 2d 152.png|thumb|150px|right|Early design of Chikorita]]
In the [[Spaceworld '97 demo]], Chikorita appears to be based on the Pokémon known as ''Happa'' (ハッパ). Chikorita is the only [[first partner Pokémon]] from [[Generation II]] to be preserved from demo.

===Design variations===
[[File:152Chikorita GS 2.png|thumb|200px|Chikorita's original yellow body]]
Early artwork and in-game [[#Sprites|sprites]] of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} depict Chikorita's body as yellow. This was changed to light green in later artwork and {{game|Crystal}}.

===Merchandise===
* Chikorita was featured as an air-pump toy with a moving leaf in the [[2001 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].
* Chikorita was featured as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card and stickers in the [[2021 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Chikorita appears to be based on {{wp|sauropoda|sauropod}}s. Its shape and appearance also alludes to that of a {{wp|pear}}, or a Belgian {{wp|endive}}, a type of chicory. Buds around Chikorita's neck look like a {{wp|necklace}} adding feminine touch to the design.

====Name origin====
Chikorita and Chicorita may be a combination of ''{{wp|chicory}}'' (a flowering plant) and ''[[wiktionary:-ita#Spanish|‑ita]]'' (the feminine form of the Spanish suffix for something small or young).

Happa is the Japanese word [https://jisho.org/word/葉っぱ {{j|葉っぱ}}] ''happa'', meaning "{{wp|leaf}}".

'''Bayleef''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベイリーフ''' ''Bayleaf'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Chikorita}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Meganium}} starting at level 32.

==Biology==
Bayleef is a quadrupedal, {{wp|Reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|Sauropoda|sauropod}} {{wp|dinosaur}}. It has a pale yellow body, a long, well-defined neck, a pair of eyes with red irises, a short, rounded snout, and a stubby tail. Each of its feet have a single white nail. There are a series of tubular, tightly-curled leaves around its neck and a large, green leaf, bent backwards at the stem, sprouting from its forehead.

The leaves around its neck contain a small tree shoot inside, which emits a stimulant, spicy aroma. The fragrance has a combination of energizing, stimulating, and healing effects, which, as mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, makes even Pokémon that sleep near Bayleef feel invigorated.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> Bayleef can be rarely found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

===Evolution===
Bayleef evolves from {{p|Chikorita}} and evolves into {{p|Meganium}}.

===Major appearances===
====[[Casey's Bayleef]]====
Bayleef debuted in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', where {{an|Casey}}'s Chikorita evolved into one. It evolved again into a {{p|Meganium}} off-screen prior to the events of ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]''.

====[[Ash's Bayleef]]====
In ''[[EP199|Current Events]]'', {{Ash}}'s {{p|Chikorita}} evolved into a Bayleef while protecting Ash from {{TRT}}. Bayleef still had the same personality she had when she was still a Chikorita, but she soon mellowed out.

====Other====
[[Horace]]'s Chikorita was revealed to have evolved into a Bayleef in ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]''. It was used in a [[Raid Battle (GO)#In animation|Raid Battle]] against an {{p|Articuno}}, only to be defeated.

===Minor appearances===
A Bayleef appeared in a fantasy in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Bayleef appeared in ''[[DP158|Regaining the Home Advantage!]]''.

Four Bayleef appeared in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', with two under the ownership of two different Trainers (including [[Mother and daughter|an unnamed recurring woman]]), the third being {{pkmn2|wild}}, and the fourth appearing during a flashback.

A Student's Bayleef appeared in ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part One)]]''.

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
{{main|Gold's Bayleef}}
{{GnB|Gold}} has a Bayleef that used to belong to {{GnB|Black}}, but was released by its former Trainer for being too weak. After joining Gold's team, it has been able to defeat strong opponents, such as [[Bugsy's Scyther]].

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

==Trivia==
* In English, Bayleef is currently first in [[List of Pokémon by name|alphabetical order]] for all first partner Pokemon and their evolutionary relatives.
* Bayleef and Meganium are the only Pokémon to have a one-point difference between their base Attack and Special Attack stats.
* Bayleef's "necklace" is consistently described as having a spicy aroma, while real {{wp|bay leaves}} have a bitter and herbal taste, which is similar to {{wp|thyme}}.
* Bayleef is one of the very few Pokémon who has the same front sprite in both ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold and Silver]]''.
* Bayleef and its evolutionary relatives are the only evolutionary line of a [[first partner Pokémon]] to keep their Japanese voices in the English [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, due to having nearly identical names in English and Japanese.

===Concept and development===
[[File:Spr 2d 153.png|thumb|150px|right|Early design of Bayleef]]
In the [[Spaceworld '97 demo]], Bayleef appears to be based on the Pokémon known as ''Hanamogura'' (ハナモグラ). It is seemingly based on moles, which use the kanji meaning "earth dragon" (土竜 ''mogura''), thus being a mole that blossoms into a dragon. The antennae from this design persist in {{p|Meganium}}'s final design.

===Origin===
Bayleef appears to be based on {{wp|sauropoda|sauropods}}, specifically the ''{{wp|Apatosaurus}}''. Its vegetable part may be based on the leaves of the {{wp|Laurus nobilis|bay laurel}}, whose oil is used for healing and as a stimulant in {{wp|aromatherapy}}.

====Name origin====
Bayleef and Bayleaf derive from ''{{wp|bay leaf}}'', a herb used in cooking known for its pungent smell.

'''Fuecoco''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホゲータ''' ''Hogator'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Crocalor}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Skeledirge}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Sprigatito}} and {{p|Quaxly}}, Fuecoco is one of the three [[Paldea first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Paldea]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. They were also the first Generation IX Pokémon to be revealed to the public on February 27, 2022, through a [[Pokémon Presents]] video presentation.

==Biology==
[[File:Fuecoco emiting light.png|250px|thumb|left|Fuecoco emitting light from the tufts on its head]]
[[File:Sleep Style 0909-1.png|thumb|right|200px|Fuecoco sleeps with one eye open]]
Fuecoco is a bipedal crocodilian Pokémon with a mostly red body and a white stomach and face. Its body contains a small flame sac, which constantly leaks fire energy due to its size. The energy releases in the form of two bright yellow tufts of flame on top of its head; should Fuecoco get excited, more of these tufts of flame may emerge.<ref name=SVsite/> As shown in the in the {{aniseries|HZ}} episode ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Fuecoco's tufts can emit light. Fuecoco has black eyes and triangular nostrils, and its mouth has three teeth, with one in the upper jaw and two in the lower jaw. It has stubby arms and large feet with two black toes on each foot. Fuecoco has yellow square scales on its stomach, back, tail, and the soles of its feet. These scales are warm to the touch, although they can become heated. The scales absorb external heat, such as from warm rocks where it lies on, to be turned into fire energy.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/fuecoco/ Fuecoco — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

Fuecoco is laid-back and does things at its own pace. It enjoys eating, and it will rush towards any food it sees.<ref name=SVsite/> As shown in Pokémon Sleep, Fuecoco and its Evolutions are known to sometimes sleep with one eye open. While asleep, Fuecoco sometimes moves its mouth as if it is chewing.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Fuecoco (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Fuecoco is tied with {{p|Slugma}}, {{p|Litten}}, {{p|Salandit}}, {{p|Scorbunny}}, and {{p|Charcadet}} for the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all Fire-type Pokémon.
* Prior to the introduction of [[Crispin]] in [[The Indigo Disk]], if the {{player}} chooses Fuecoco, no [[Non-player character|NPC]] {{pkmn|Trainer}} in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} {{Tera}}stallizes their Pokémon into the {{t|Fire}} [[type]].

===Merchandise===
* Fuecoco was featured as a Match Battle pack variant and in the digital play/card listing in the [[2023 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Fuecoco appears to be based on a baby {{wp|crocodile}}, although it has some similarities to {{wp|theropod}} dinosaurs and crocodile-shaped toys. In {{g|Sleep}}, Fuecoco and its Evolutions are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles. Its {{t|Fire|Fire typing}} may be inspired by the fact that crocodiles release excess heat through their mouths. Alternatively, The fiery tufts on its head, its coloration, and its overall body shape together make it resemble a {{wp|bell pepper}} or a {{wp|chili pepper}}, like the {{wp|ghost pepper}}.

Given its final [[Evolution]], the light color of its face might be inspired by a {{wp|calavera}} design, commonly found in celebrations of the Mexican holiday of the {{wp|Day of the Dead}}. Fuecoco may also reference to some crocodile legends in the {{wp|Iberian Peninsula}}, such as the {{wp|ca:Drac_de_na_Coca|Drac de Na Coca}}, whose preserved body with an exposed skull may have inspired a skeletal appearance, and whose presence in pyrotechnical {{wp|correfoc}} festivities may have inspired its Fire type. It may also be based on {{wp|Coco (folklore)#Mythical_animals|Cucafera}}, depicted as a crocodilian dragon creature with a round body.

====Name origin====
Fuecoco may be a combination of ''fuego'' (Spanish for "fire") and ''cocodrilo'' (Spanish for "crocodile"). It may also come from ''fuocoso'' (Italian for "fiery, especially relating to music").

Hogator may be a combination of 火 ''ho'' (fire), ほげー ''hogē'' (onomatopoeia for being dumbfounded), ''fogata'' (Spanish for "campfire") or ''hoguera'' (Spanish for "bonfire"), and ''{{wp|alligator|gator}}''. It may also involve ''{{wp|Malagueta pepper|malagueta}}'' (type of chili pepper) or ''{{wp|Aframomum melegueta|melegueta}}'' (grains of paradise; a spice).

'''Crocalor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アチゲータ''' ''Achigator'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Fuecoco}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Skeledirge}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
Crocalor is a bipedal, crocodilian Pokémon. Its stout, melon-shaped body is primarily red, but its face and chest are white simulating a mask; its hands and feet are black with three digits each. It has yellow rectangular scales covering its back and tail, and a pattern of black and yellow stripes on its chest. Its face has a long snout, red square cheeks, a pattern of two red triangles resembling nostrils, and a hook-like upper jaw. When Crocalor opens its mouth, three pairs of sharp teeth can be seen lining its lower jaw.

Atop Crocalor's head is an orange mass of fire energy shaped like a nest, with yellow squares patterning it. This "nest" contains a yellow, glowing, egg-shaped fireball on top, borne out of Crocalor's fire energy and overflowing vitality. Crocalor can control the fireball, sending it out and using it for its moves.<ref name=SVsite/> As shown in Pokémon Sleep, Crocalor and its evolutionary relatives are known to sometimes sleep with one eye open. The fireball on Crocalor's head never falls off even as the Pokémon sways rhythmically in its sleep.

Crocalor's internal flame sac has a valve that connects to its vocal cords. As a result, Crocalor lets out guttural cries as it releases fire from its mouth. Its voice can hardly be described as beautiful; moreover, its voice becomes more destructive as it breathes more powerful fire.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/crocalor/ Crocalor — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

==In the TCG==
{{main|Crocalor (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Crocalor was unable to learn {{m|Encore}} via [[TM]], while its evolutionary relatives could.

===Origin===
Crocalor resembles a {{wp|crocodile}} with a {{wp|calavera}} pattern. In {{g|Sleep}}, Crocalor and its evolutionary relatives are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles. Its {{t|Fire|Fire type}} may be inspired by the fact that crocodiles release excess heat through their mouths.

The fire decorations on Crocalor's head resembles a nest for the egg-shaped fireball. This may reference certain crocodilian behaviors such as them {{wp|Crocodilia#Cognition|balancing sticks and branches on their heads to lure nest-building birds}}; or how some bird species benefit from nearby crocodilians predating ovivores, thus protecting their nests. Additionally, it may be based on {{wp|Trochilus (crocodile bird)|trochilus}}, a legendary bird (speculated to be a {{wp|Egyptian plover}} or a {{wp|Spur-winged lapwing}}) depicted as having a {{wp|cleaning symbiosis}} relationship with a {{wp|Nile crocodile}}. The decorations also resemble a {{wp|sombrero}} or a {{wp|Easter mona}}, a Spanish Easter cake served with a hard-boiled egg or egg-shaped confectionery on top.

The white calavera pattern on Crocalor's may suggest it being based on certain hat-wearing {{wp|calaca}}s associated with the Mexican holiday of the {{wp|Day of the Dead}}, such as a stereotypical skeleton {{wp|mariachi}} or {{wp|La Calavera Catrina}}. The former could also explain Crocalor's association with singing. Additionally, the "nest" atop its head vaguely resembles a bouquet of {{wp|Tagetes erecta|Mexican marigold}}, put on display to honor the dead. Its body shape and variegated body markings may be loosely inspired by a {{wp|piñata}}.

Crocalor may also be a reference to some crocodile legends in the {{wp|Iberian Peninsula}}, such as the {{wp|ca:Drac_de_na_Coca|Drac de Na Coca}}, whose preserved body with an exposed skull may have inspired Crocalor's skeletal appearance, and whose presence in pyrotechnical {{wp|correfoc}} festivities may have inspired Crocalor's Fire type. It may also be based on {{wp|Coco (folklore)#Mythical_animals|Cucafera}}, depicted as a crocodilian dragon creature with round body.

====Name origin====
Crocalor may be a combination of ''crocodile'' and ''calor'' (Spanish and Portuguese for "heat"). It may also involve ''vocal'' or ''{{wp|coloratura}}'' (an ornamentation of vocal melody).

Achigator may be a combination of あちち ''achichi'' ("hot!"), ''{{wp|mariachi}}'', and ''alligator''.

'''Quaxly''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クワッス''' ''Kuwassu'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Quaxwell}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Quaquaval}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Sprigatito}} and {{p|Fuecoco}}, Quaxly is one of the three [[Paldea first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Paldea]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. They were also the first Generation IX Pokémon to be revealed to the public on February 27, 2022, through a [[Pokémon Presents]] video presentation.

==Biology==
[[File:Quaxly Messy Coif anime.png|250px|thumb|left|Quaxly with a messy, unkempt coif]]
Quaxly is a white duckling-like Pokémon. It has a yellow beak and blue eyes. It has teal webbed feet and a large teal coif-like crest that covers its head, with a feathery tuft in the front and a white curvy line shaped like a wave. Quaxly's coif has a smooth feel thanks to the rich, moist cream that holds it. The cream it secretes can repel grime. The coif can become unkempt should it get dry.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/quaxly/ Quaxly — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

Quaxly is an earnest and tidy Pokémon, and tends to overthink things. Quaxly's feathers secrete a glossy gel which protects its body against water and grime. It hates getting itself dirty, especially on its head. Quaxly's strong legs allow it to swim without issues, even in strong currents. It also uses its legs to repeatedly kick its foes with swift speed.<ref name=SVsite /> Although found in [[Paldea]], Quaxly is not native to the region, instead having migrated from faraway places a long time ago. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], the coif on its head grows dry and messy should Quaxly sleep for a very long time. However, this tend to happen on extremely rare occasions.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Quaxly (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Quaxly is the only one of the [[first partner Pokémon]] that is foreign to the [[region]] that it was introduced in, as evidenced by its [[Pokédex]] entry in Pokémon Scarlet.
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Quaxly and its Evolution were unable to learn {{m|Substitute}} and {{m|Sleep Talk}} via [[TM]]. However, this has since been fixed.

===Concept and development===
[[File:Quaxly SV concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|[[:a:Category:Concept art from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Concept art]] featuring Quaxly from {{game|Scarlet and Violet|s}}.]]
[[File:Quaxly expressions SV concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|Concept art featuring Quaxly's expressions.]]

===Merchandise===
* Quaxly was featured as a Match Battle pack variant and in the digital play/card listing in the [[2023 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Quaxly appears to be based on a duckling of the {{wp|Crested (duck breed)|Crested domestic duck breed}} or the {{wp|crested duck|South American crested duck}}. The crest itself resembles a {{wp|beret}}, a {{wp|turban}}, or a {{wp|pompadour hairstyle}}. The crest might also be a visual pun on the hairstyle called the {{wp|ducktail}}. The teal colorations on its feet and crest may be inspired by the {{wp|blue-footed booby}}, or another visual pun on the {{wp|Eurasian teal|teal}} (a type of duck). Its behavior may also be based on {{wp|hornpipe}} dancing.

Quaxly's Pokédex entry in Scarlet could be a reference to the exotic origin of aforementioned species in regard to Iberia. The crested breed of ducks was introduced from the {{wp|Dutch East Indies}} and popularized in North America. Crested ducks and blue-footed boobies are native to South America. Given the carnival theme in its Evolutions, this may also refer to the {{wp|Rio Carnival}}.

====Name origin====
Quaxly may be a combination of ''quack'', ''wax'' (referring to {{wp|hair wax}}), and ''duckling''.

Kuwassu may be derived from クワック ''kuwakku'' (quack) and an {{wp|anagram}} of ワックス ''wakkusu'' (wax).

==Biology==
[[File:Quaxwell messy coif anime.png|250px|thumb|left|Quaxwell with a messy, unkempt coif]]
Quaxwell is a white, duck-like Pokémon. Its face has blue eyes, a pointed yellow beak, and a teal brow just above it which flares into two large branches flanking a small bump in the middle. On top of Quaxwell's head is a round blue crest twice as large, which droops towards the back. Various blue and teal-colored feathers also adorn its chest, forearms, tail, and the insides of its feet. The three feathers at the end of its arms are similar to fingers. Quaxwell's legs are long and its feet are yellow with three toes each, and they wrap around its ankles in a manner that resembles ballet shoes.

The crest above Quaxwell's head is capable of absorbing impacts, and is used by Quaxwell to shield itself from incoming attacks. Doing this may mess up the crest, however, which causes its body and mind to feel unwell and weakened. If its crest becomes unkempt and messy, it will quickly use gel to comb it back into shape.<ref name=SVsite/>

Quaxwell has a serious, stoic personality, though it is also known to be temperamental. It learns and practices dance routines by observing the movements of people and Pokémon from various regions. Quaxwell is a hard worker, and constantly trains its strength and technique. Flocks of Quaxwell train by running their legs through shallow waters, and then compete with each other for the most graceful kicks.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/quaxwell/ Quaxwell — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Quaxwell maintains its beautiful posture. However, the daily training it maintains can occasionally leave it too tired to care for its coif. As a result, the coif is usually left messy as it sleeps.

===Evolution===
Quaxwell evolves from {{p|Quaxly}} and evolves into {{p|Quaquaval}}.

===POKÉTOON===
A Quaxwell appeared in [[PT16]], under the ownership of {{OBP|Yūto|POKÉTOON}}. It evolved into {{p|Quaquaval}}.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Quaxwell and its pre-Evolution were unable to learn {{m|Substitute}} and {{m|Sleep Talk}} via [[TM]].

===Origin===
Quaxwell may be based on a {{wp|Crested (duck breed)|crested duck}} or {{wp|Roman goose|goose}} and a {{wp|ballet}} dancer. It also has elements of performers for carnivals such as the {{wp|Rio Carnival}} or the {{wp|Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife}} in the Canary Islands. The cultural association between {{wp|Anatidae|anatids}} and carnivals could date to ancient Rome, where the crested goose was a sacred animal of the goddess {{wp|Juno (mythology)|Juno}}.

Quaxwell's feathers and crest also look like a swim suit and a swim cap, respectively. Thus, another possible inspiration could be {{wp|synchronized swimming}}, which was also known as "water ballet".

====Name origin====
Quaxwell may be a combination of ''quack'', ''aqua'', ''wax'' (referring to {{wp|hair wax}}), ''well'', ''swell'' (series of ocean waves) and the name ''Maxwell''.

Welkamo may be a combination of ''well'' or ''swell'' and 鴨 ''kamo'' (duck). It may also involve ''well combed''.

'''Quaquaval''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウェーニバル''' ''Wanival'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Quaxwell}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Quaxly}}.

==Biology==
[[File:914Quaquaval Dream 2.png|thumb|left|230px|Quaquaval's water feathers]]
Quaquaval is a humanoid avian Pokémon resembling a waterfowl. Its plumage is mostly dark blue, except for the light blue on its shoulders and tail, along with the white on its head, neck, chest, and individual tail feathers. Its face has blue eyes and a pointed yellow beak. Atop its head is a large, flowing, slick, dark blue crest, with long light blue and orange-red feathers at the front, separating the crest from the head. Its forearms have three sets of feathers, each tipped with light blue; and it has what resembles hands with three "fingers" each. Additional light blue accents decorate its waist and legs. Its yellow feet have bulbous segments with three toes each; the front-most segments are orange in color. It has a defined rump and an elaborate-looking tail, with a circular base and three teardrop-shaped feathers decorating it at the top, along with two chains consisting of three feathers flanking it on either side.

In battle, Quaquaval is accompanied with a series of teardrop-shaped decorative water feathers, which are ejected from the organs on its tail feathers and fanned out behind its back. When attacking, these water feathers move forward and spin around Quaquaval's body, making a buzzsaw-like arrangement that it uses to slice into its enemies. Quaquaval's legs are well-trained and have incredible strength, being able to launch a truck away with a single kick. It uses its legs to perform dance moves, some of which appear to be based on dances from faraway lands.<ref name=SVsite/> Quaquaval is viewed by {{p|Tsareena}} as its rival. Quaquaval's dances can mesmerize all those who see it. Even while Quaquaval is asleep, it has been seen swaying its whole body at every opportunity. On occasion, a sleeping Quaquaval has been seen striking elegant poses. In [[HZ138]], Quaquaval is shown to be able to comically spray small fountains of water from its wing arms as a celebratory dance move.

Quaquaval has a cheerful and energetic disposition, dancing away no matter what situation it faces. However, it can also express a more serious demeanor, especially when it comes to consistently polishing its skills. It can become very focused during critical situations.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/quaquaval/ Quaquaval — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

Quaquaval is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Aqua Step}}.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Quaquaval may be primarily based on a {{wp|peacock}}, as its coloration and water feathers around its tail, which are visually and functionally based on the {{wp|covert feather|train}} of said bird, suggest; as well as on the Iberian {{wp|red-knobbed coot}}, with whom it shares the lobed feet and the red head ornamentation. The {{wp|Crested (duck breed)|crested duck}} or {{wp|Roman goose}} could also take part of its inspiration. The association between ducks or geese and peacocks could date to ancient Rome, where both the crested goose and the peacock were sacred animals of the goddess {{wp|Juno (mythology)|Juno}}. Quaquaval could also be inspired by the {{wp|Basque mythology|Basque}} {{wp|Lamia (Basque mythology)|Lamia}}, a duck-footed woman-like cryptid known for living around rivers, where they would often comb their hair.

Quaquaval may also take inspiration from carnivalesque performers, such as those from the {{wp|Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife}} in the {{wp|Canary Islands}}, which are known for their distance from the Iberian Peninsula despite still being part of {{wp|Spain}}; thing referenced in Quaquaval's Pokédex entries with the mentions to far-away lands. Considering its dancelike movements and exuberant plumage, Quaquaval resembles the {{wp|pt:Escola de samba#A corte da bateria|rainha de bateria}} dancer allegory from the {{wp|Rio Carnival}}, in {{wp|Brazil}}, with its Water typing being a possible reference to Rio meaning River in Spanish and Portuguese. The carnival dance it performs could be inspired by {{wp|Samba (Brazilian dance)|samba}}, an Afro-Brazilian dance often associated with the national identity of Brazil. Its Fighting type and [[signature move]], {{m|Aqua Step}}, may be based on {{wp|capoeira}}, a martial art that combines elements of dance which also originated in Brazil.

====Name origin====
Quaquaval may be a combination of ''quá-quá'' (Spanish and Portuguese onomatopoeia for duck sounds), ''aqua'', and ''carnaval'' (Spanish and Portuguese for "carnival"). The name also appears to draw from the adjective ''quaquaversal'', referring to a pattern that radiates in all directions from a common center; such is the case for the water feathers that fan out from Quaquaval's tail during battle.

Wanival may be a combination of ''wave'' and ''carnival''.

'''Skeledirge''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラウドボーン''' ''Laudbon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Crocalor}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Fuecoco}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Sleep Style 0911-1.png|thumb|200px|Skeledirge sleeping with one eye open]]
Skeledirge is a large, red, crocodilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered in rectangular scales. Its belly is angular and has a white coloration flanked by black stripes on either side, resembling an open suit jacket and dress shirt. It also has various white-colored patterns on its head, lower jaw, neck, back, shoulders, arms, legs, and the cylindrical tip of its tail. The white coloration on the top of its head resembles a {{wp|lute}}. Skeledirge has three black claws on each foot, and while it usually walks on all fours, it is capable of standing on its hind legs. Its head is delineated with a black circular shape at the top. It has black eyes with yellow irises and red eyelids, serrated jaws with purple insides, and various square and triangular patterns that come in red, orange, yellow, and purple. A wreath of solid orange-and-yellow fire energy emerges from the back of Skeledirge's jaws, which circles around its head.

There is an orange fiery bird resting on top of Skeledirge's head, which is a separate, independent entity from the Pokémon. This bird is spherical, with a yellow face, white eyes, a short crest and tail, and a singular tiny pointed "foot" it balances itself on. The bird was born when the egg-shaped fireball Skeledirge had as a {{p|Crocalor}} gained a soul, which also gave it its {{t|Ghost}} [[type]].<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/skeledirge/ Skeledirge | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> It can sometimes be seen pecking at Skeledirge's jaws, supposedly cleaning its teeth.

Skeledirge has a meddlesome but caring personality. Its singing is gentle but powerful and full of vitality, capable of soothing the souls of all who hears it. Opponents hearing its singing will feel warm and fulfilled inside, losing their will to battle. Skeledirge burns its enemies by unleashing flames that exceed 5,400 °F (3,000 °C). When it sings, its bird transforms into a microphone, growing its "foot" longer until it reaches the ground. {{m|Torch Song|The bird is then powered up by Skeledirge's singing, growing larger and flying towards its target}}. As shown in {{g|Sleep}}, Skeledirge and its pre-[[Evolution]]s are known to sometimes sleep with an eye open. The fiery bird on Skeledirge's head occasionally moves about and even plays pranks on it when its sleep is shallow. An excellent caretaker, it never gets angry no matter what's done to it and continues sleeping.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

Skeledirge is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Torch Song}}.

==Trivia==
* In a trademark filed by [[The Pokémon Company]] on November 7, 2022, Skeledirge's Japanese name was romanized as "'''Loudbone'''" instead of "Laudbon".<ref>[https://www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp/c1801/TR/JP-2022-127332/40/en Trademark Reg.No.6699982 (Appl.No.2022-127332)] — J-PlatPat (Japan Platform for Patent Information)</ref> The trademark name "Laudbon" was filed a month later on December 19, 2022.<ref>[https://www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp/c1801/TR/JP-2022-144611/40/en Trademark Reg.No.6717877 (Appl.No.2022-144611)] — J-PlatPat (Japan Platform for Patent Information)</ref>
* Skeledirge is the first fully evolved Fire-type [[first partner Pokémon]] to be quadrupedal.
* Skeledirge is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] fully evolved [[first partner Pokémon]], weighing 719.8 lbs (326.5 kg).
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Skeledirge was unable to learn {{m|Yawn}}, while its pre-Evolutions could.

===Origin===
Skeledirge resembles a {{wp|crocodile}} with a skull pattern or a {{wp|calavera}} on its forehead. In {{g|Sleep}}, Skeledirge and its pre-Evolutions are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles. Skeledirge's association with singing and "suited" appearance in general resembles a singer such as those in {{wp|rock music}}, {{wp|mariachi}}, or {{wp|opera}}; or a {{wp|Conducting|conductor}}. Its {{t|Fire|Fire typing}} and {{m|Torch Song|signature move}} may be inspired by the fact that crocodiles release excess heat through their mouths.

Skeledirge may be a reference to some crocodile legends in the {{wp|Iberian Peninsula}}, notably the {{wp|ca:Drac_de_na_Coca|Drac de Na Coca}}, whose preserved body with an exposed skull may have inspired Skeledirge's skeletal appearance, and whose presence in pyrotechnical {{wp|correfoc}} festivities may have inspired Skeledirge's Fire type. It may also reference other legends such as the ghostly {{wp|Cocollona}}; or the {{wp|Coco (folklore)#Mythical_animals|Cucafera}}, depicted as a crocodilian dragon creature with the dome-shaped body of a turtle.

The "hatched" fiery bird on its head may be based on {{wp|Trochilus (crocodile bird)|trochilus}}, a legendary bird (speculated to be a {{wp|Egyptian plover}} or a {{wp|Spur-winged lapwing}}) depicted as having a {{wp|cleaning symbiosis}} relationship with a {{wp|Nile crocodile}}. The location of the bird might also be inspired by the bulbous protuberance at the tip of male {{wp|gharial}}s' snouts, which enables them to produce certain sounds.

Skeledirge's {{t|Ghost|Ghost type}} may also be inspired by Mexican holiday of the {{wp|Day of the Dead}}, with its face resembling a calavera and the fire energy around its neck resembling {{wp|Tagetes erecta|Mexican marigolds}} put on display to honor the dead. Its colorful look may be based on {{wp|alebrije}}, a form of Mexican sculpture art depicting fantastical creatures in brightly colored patterns, or {{wp|trencadís}}.

====Name origin====
Skeledirge may be a combination of ''skeleton'' and ''{{wp|dirge}}'' (a song or hymn performed in mourning, such as during funerals).

Laudbon may be a combination of ''{{wp|laúd}}'' (Spanish lute, a musical instrument), ''loud'', and ''bone''.

'''Yveltal''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イベルタル''' ''Yveltal'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

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

Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Xerneas}}, Yveltal was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.

Yveltal is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon Y}}, appearing on its boxart. Yveltal, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.

==Biology==
[[File:717 Cocoon VI OD.png|thumb|left|185px|Yveltal's dormant form, the Cocoon of Destruction]]
Yveltal is a large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with both avian and draconic traits. The back of its body is black with white spots along the wings and back; its front, head, and neck are bright red with branching, black lines throughout. It has a pointed, beak-like snout, bright blue eyes, a black, forward-curving horn over each eye, and a thin, antenna-like growth behind each eye. A feathery gray ruff encircles its neck and billows out over its back. Yveltal's wings each have three spikes along the bottom edge near the body and five large, black claws on the tip. It has small, birdlike legs with gray talons. Each foot has two toes facing forward and one pointing backward. Its tail is similar in structure to its wings, including the five claws on the tip.
[[File:Yveltal ZA.png|250px|thumb|right|Yveltal crawling on the ground.]]
Yveltal is said to represent destruction and death. It has the power to absorb life energy by spreading its wings and tailfeathers; according to legend, it does this in order to power up its own energy. It is highly feared by the ancient people of [[Kalos]] because of this. Yveltal is known to appear during a conflict, draining the life energy of any person or Pokémon that it encounters. Upon reaching the end of its lifespan, Yveltal steals the life energy of everything around it, then encases itself in a cocoon and falls into a deep slumber. Both Yveltal and {{p|Xerneas}} are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Yveltal's power can be used to power up machines, as seen with the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal's [[Infinity Energy|light energy]] has the power to transform [[Evolution stone]]s into [[Mega Stone]]s when directed through the ultimate weapon.<ref>[[Emma]]: "[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that [[Mega Stone]]s formed three thousand years ago... when [[Evolution stone|certain stones]] were irradiated by the light-energy of the Legendary Pokémon-that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It can also {{m|Oblivion Wing|release a red beam that absorbs its target's energy}}, restoring its vitality as a result. Said attack can also burn the ground it hits in the process.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Pokémon Y | Legendary Pokémon!] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> Yveltal can crawl on the ground using its wings and talons, similar to a bat. It can also use its wings to propel itself back into the air. It will harm anyone who tries to take it, even while it's in its dormant, cocoon-like state. Yveltal is drawn to the life energy that's released or disturbed within the ecosystem, such as the [[Mega Power]] emitted by the [[Ange]] machine. According to research done by [[Mable]] of [[Team Flare]], Yveltal's ability to manipulate life is considered so mysterious that not even science could successfully solve it.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref>

The relationship between Yveltal and Xerneas can vary between different [[Canon|canons]], with the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicting it as antagonistic and the ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' movie depicting it as cooperative. As shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', any living creatures drained by Yveltal will turn into petrified stone, though it is unknown whether this action is intentionally malicious or not. As depicted in ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction,'' Yveltal can be very vengeful to anyone who disturbs its sleep and will seek to destroy it. Its counterpart Xerneas has the power to cure Yveltal's victims by filling them with life energy, but as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. Xerneas is also shown to be capable of calming down Yveltal should it get enraged. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Yveltal was shown making plants wither away by simply touching them. It has been referred to as "the one who takes" due to its ability to take life. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Y".

Yveltal is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Oblivion Wing}} and the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Dark Aura}} as an [[Ability]].

===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: {{mdc|Yveltal|smd}} is one of the main antagonists of the game. It first appears on [[Revelation Mountain]], turning the {{player}}, partner, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Entei}} to stone. Later, Yveltal and the other Pokémon possessed by [[Dark Matter]] attack the group again at the [[Road to Primeval Forest]]. Once freed from its possession, Yveltal feels deep regret for its actions, despite having been under the control of something else, and tries to make amends by attacking Dark Matter later on, only to be turned to stone itself.

[[File:Yveltal PG.png|thumb|250px|Yveltal in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Yveltal (M17)]]=====
Yveltal debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It was first seen in a flashback destroying the [[Allearth Forest]] before transforming into a cocoon and slumbering. Years later, it reawakened and attempted to destroy the Allearth Forest again, turning [[Argus Steel|Argus]] and [[Millis Steel]], [[Merilyn]], [[Riot]], and [[Ash's Pikachu]] to stone in the process. It was then calmed by {{OBP|Xerneas|M17}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and flew away peacefully.

=====Other=====
Yveltal made its animated series debut in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it unleashed trouble on a kingdom, turning people and Pokémon to stone such as [[Aila]]. Its attack prompted {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} to embark on a quest to find {{p|Xerneas}} and have it restore the land and Aila.

====Minor appearances====

===Pokémon Generations===
[[Team Flare]] captured Yveltal in ''[[PG16|The Beauty Eternal]]'' so they could begin the next phase of their plans, which they titled "Project Y".

A Yveltal briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
Yveltal debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside [[Xerxer|Xerneas]]. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant cocoon and tree states, which are being sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal was later captured by [[Malva]], who revealed that it had been resting in the ground under the tree form Xerneas the entire time. In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', both Yveltal and Xerneas returned to their dormant states once again, choosing to do so in order to prevent [[Lysandre]] from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''With its wings spread wide, this Legendary Pokémon looks just like the letter Y. Since its name also starts with the same letter, it's difficult to imagine a more appropriate mascot for Pokémon Y. Apparently, when Yveltal's life comes to an end, it will absorb the life force of all living things— here's to a long and healthy life! ''

===Concept and development===
Yveltal and Xerneas were designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref> Their initial designs were started by Sugimori, but he encountered {{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}, having a hard time coming up with concepts for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]]. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura, who furthered the designs before giving them back to Sugimori to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development].

===Merchandise===
Yveltal was featured as a rock-paper-scissors [[Poké Ball]] launcher toy in the [[2014 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Yveltal is shaped like the letter Y. It resembles birds such as the {{wp|long-tailed widowbird}}, or {{wp|carrion}} birds such as {{wp|Carrion crow|crows}} and {{wp|vulture}}s.

Yveltal may also be based on any number of avian-related figures from mythology, such as the Celtic death-goddess {{wp|Morrigan}}, which often takes the form of a raven; or Norse mythological figures such as {{wp|Hræsvelgr}}, which takes the form of an eagle and sits at the end of the world, or the hawk {{wp|Veðrfölnir and eagle|Veðrfölnir or the unnamed eagle}} that resides at the top of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasil}}. Additionally, it bears a striking resemblance to a species of fungus known as "{{wp|Clathrus archeri|devil's fingers}}."

====Name origin====
Yveltal begins with the letter Y. It may be derived from ''{{wp|wiktionary:yvel|yvel}}'' (a {{wp|Middle English}} spelling of ''evil'') and ''{{wp|quetzal}}'' or ''{{wp|talon}}''.

'''Palkia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルキア''' ''Palkia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Palkia [[#Form data|transforms]] into its '''Origin Forme''' using the [[Lustrous Globe]].

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

Along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}}, Palkia is one of the [[Pokémon of myth]] created by {{p|Arceus}}, representing {{wp|space}}. In the past, it was worshipped by the [[Pearl Clan]] under the name '''almighty [[Sinnoh]]''' (Japanese: '''シンオウ{{ruby|様|さま}}''' ''Shin'ou-sama'').

Palkia is the [[game mascot]] of {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Pearl Version|s}} and its [[remake]] {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Pokémon Shining Pearl}}, appearing on the box art of both games in its normal form.

[[File:Universal destruction BDSP.png|thumb|left|240px|Palkia destroying the {{pkmn|universe}}]]
Palkia is a light-purple, {{wp|theropod}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with stripes and markings of a darker shade and gray underarms and waist. It has round purple-striped plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearl-like crystals lie encrusted with a gray rim encircling them, and fin-like wings on its back. Palkia's arms have extended formations resembling gauntlets and a purple band around each wrist. Palkia has a long neck that is normally bent, a pointed white crest on the top of its head that extends to its wings, two strong horn-like tusks on the sides of its jaw, and a powerful tail. It has faint cracks along its legs and tail.

According to the [[Sinnoh myths|myths and legends]] of the [[Hisui]]/[[Sinnoh]] [[region]], in the beginning of existence, the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Arceus}} created {{Pkmn|egg|eggs}} in which the Pokémon of space–Palkia, the Pokémon of time–{{p|Dialga}}, and the Pokémon of antimatter–{{p|Giratina}}, hatched from, all three in their {{form|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina|Origin Formes}}. Arceus also created the [[lake guardians]] and gave them the mission of calming down Dialga or Palkia whenever they were enraged. After the [[Pokémon universe]] was created, Palkia retreated into its [[Dimension#Palkia's world|own dimension]], which is said to be in shreds as if it had been torn to ribbons. It was revered and feared as a deity in the past, being worshipped by the [[Pearl Clan]], who mistook it for Arceus and referred to it as "almighty Sinnoh". Palkia is capable of [[Talking Pokémon|speaking human language]] via telepathy, as seen when it communicates through the leader of the Pearl Clan, [[Irida]]. Palkia and Dialga may be also thrown into a frenzy by powerful [[space-time distortion]]s created by Giratina. They can control and spread said distortions, resulting in the generation of [[alpha Pokémon]] and causing [[noble Pokémon]] to become frenzied through lightning bolts that come out of them.

Palkia has power over space–it can warp space and travel to faraway places, as well as alternate [[dimension]]s and parallel [[Pokémon multiverse|timelines]]. Additionally, it is capable of {{m|Spacial Rend|rending its targets along with the space around it}}. It even has the power to destroy and create an entire [[Pokémon universe|universe]], either by itself or with {{p|Dialga}}'s aid. As seen in {{aniseries|JN}}, Palkia can open and close dimensional portals to alternate universes. It is said that the birth of Palkia was what caused the walls of the world to disappear, creating a sky that spans for infinity, and that space becomes more stable with its every breath. Palkia usually travels by levitating. Since it primarily resides in a different dimension, its behavior is nearly impossible to study. In the anime, {{mov|Palkia}} has been shown to be very protective of its home, and as a result, tends to have violent conflicts with {{mov|Dialga}} when their dimensions intersect. Palkia is capable of travelling by creating a large yellow sphere from its two pearls, then using it to fly very fast, as seen in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]].

Palkia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Spacial Rend}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Palkia Origin Forme mouth open.png|thumb|right|240px|Origin Forme Palkia's plate mask opened]]
Palkia can change between its standard form and its Origin Forme.

In its Origin Forme, which is said to be its true form, Palkia's appearance changes drastically from its other theropod-like Forme, taking on a centaur-dragon hybrid look while resembling its creator, {{p|Arceus}}. The main body becomes larger and grayish pink, with light gray accents on the tips of its wings and legs, along with various dark purple accents. Its shoulder plates are larger and seem to be made of the same pearl-like crystals as the ones embedded at the center, with six rectangular dark purple protrusions surrounding them. Its lower half becomes bigger and resembles that of a horse. Palkia's arms become its forelegs, with hooves, protrusions on the knees, and rectangular spikes on its upper forelegs akin to its other Forme's arms. The back legs gain hooves as well, with heels on the back of the foot, and they are bent in such a way that allows Palkia to stand up on its two back legs. The tail becomes shorter and splits into five. On the center of Palkia's abdomen is a structure consisting of two dark purple circular shapes connected to two circles of the same color, resembling Arceus's cross-like wheel. Palkia's neck and markings on its lower body become shorter. The pointed crest on its neck becomes taller and longer. Its lower jaw gets a plate-like mask covering it, with multiple spikes all over it: one at the front, a pair extending towards the bottom of the jaw, and two pairs on either side extending towards the back. The plate-like mask can be lowered to reveal its mouth when roaring or using attacks.

Palkia is in its true form and at its full power while in its Origin Forme. It has the power to warp, destroy, and create space itself.<ref>[https://legends.arceus.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/palkia/ Palkia (Origin Forme) | Pokémon Legends: Arceus]</ref> It is believed that Palkia's Origin Forme resembles Arceus to strategically gain its power. Palkia's transformation into its Origin Forme can be triggered by a radiant light or the [[Lustrous Globe]]. Origin Forme Palkia can walk on all fours and fly, and is capable of unleashing meteors and shockwaves. Its {{m|Spacial Rend}} can even be charged into a more powerful version of itself while in Origin Forme, as seen in its boss battle in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. The crystals and purple accents on Palkia's body glow brightly when it uses its powers.

===NPC appearances===

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

* [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]: [[Temple of Sinnoh#Special encounters|Palkia]] is a main antagonist and boss in the game. It is one of {{ga|Arceus}}'s creations alongside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}}. After [[Volo]] and Giratina tore open a [[Space-time distortion|rift in space-time]] above [[Mount Coronet]], Palkia along with Dialga, became enraged, causing many [[Alpha Pokémon]] and [[Space-time distortion]]s to appear all over [[Hisui]].

==== In the side series games ====

* In {{g|Battle Revolution}}, during the [[Masters Battle]] [[Masters Battle/Set 4|Set 4]] and [[Masters Battle/Set 8|Set 8]], [[Mysterial]] will use a Palkia as part of his team, if the player has copied Pokémon from a save file of any game except {{g|Pearl}}.

==== In the spin-off games ====
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: {{mdc|Palkia|2}} plays a major part in the game's post-story. Palkia first appears when he attacks the {{player}} and their partner at [[Sharpedo Bluff]], having learnt from {{mdc|Darkrai|2}} (disguised as {{p|Cresselia}}) that they were responsible for space being distorted, but the real Cresselia appeared and sorted things out.
* {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}: Palkia appears as a bonus boss during one of the [[Ranger Net]] extra missions. Palkia was injured and entered [[Hippowdon Temple]]. In its pain, it warped the space of the [[Almia]] [[region]] and caused all of the locations of Almia to be shuffled together.

===Form data===
Along with the other members of the [[Pokémon of myth]], Palkia has the ability to switch to a second form: Origin Forme.

The standard form of Palkia debuted in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, and its Origin Forme was introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, in which it changes between its standard form and Origin Forme when exposed to a [[Lustrous Globe]]. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Palkia transforms into its Origin Forme while holding a Lustrous Globe. If it is deposited in {{g|HOME}}, it will revert to its standard form.

}}

The forms differ in their [[base stats]]: Palkia's Origin Forme has decreased {{stat|Attack}} and increased {{stat|Speed}} compared to its standard form, though its base stat total is the same. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, its [[signature move]], {{m|Spacial Rend}}, has modified base power and accuracy when used by its Origin Form, as well as a unique animation.

===Main series===
[[File:Palkia anime.png|thumb|250px|Palkia in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Palkia (movie)]]=====
Palkia made its physical debut in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where it fought with {{mov|Dialga}} and {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} in a {{pkmn|battle}} that nearly destroyed [[Alamos Town]]. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Palkia was shown for the first time with both the other members of [[Pokémon of myth|its trio]]. It joined forces with Dialga and {{mov|Giratina}} to fight against {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}.

=====Palkia (recurring)=====
A Palkia appeared in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'' and ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', where it was a target of [[Alternate World Team Rocket]], along with {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}}. Using a [[Red Chain]], Alternate World Team Rocket forced the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] to fight, creating time distortions that caused Pokémon to start [[Devolution|devolving]] and eventually revert into {{pkmn|Egg}}s, which Team Rocket would then steal and raise to be their own. The battle was finally stopped when {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, [[Goh]], [[Chloe]], and their alternate world counterparts prayed for {{p|Arceus}} to do so. Freed from the Red Chain, Dialga and Palkia then undid all the devolutions their battle had caused.

=====Other=====
In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', Palkia and Dialga were summoned by [[Cyrus]] on the [[Spear Pillar]]. They were put under his control through the use of the Red Chain and were tasked by him to open a portal to another dimension, wanting a world of his own. After the Red Chain's destruction and Cyrus's exit, Palkia and Dialga rampaged, creating a danger for [[Sinnoh]]. However, the two were calmed down and sent away with the help of the {{an|lake guardians}}.

In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', Palkia was one of six Legendary Pokémon summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{form|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real {{an|Hoopa}} in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Palkia and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Palkia departed for its home.

====Minor appearances====
Palkia debuted as a shadowy figure in a fantasy in ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]''.

Palkia appeared in a fantasy in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.

Palkia appeared in a fantasy in ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]''.

In ''[[DP178|For The Love of Meowth!]]'', {{MTR}}'s fantasy featured Palkia.

A silhouetted Palkia appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.

====Pokédex entries====
{{Animedexheader|Galar}}

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Galar}}

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Palkia PG.png|thumb|250px|Palkia in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
In ''[[PG11|The New World]]'', Palkia and Dialga were captured at [[Spear Pillar]] by [[Cyrus]], who intended to use them to destroy the world and create a new one. Along with Dialga, it was freed by {{p|Giratina}} before they could help Cyrus succeed in his goal.

===GOTCHA!===
A Palkia briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].

===Movie adaptations===
{{main|Palkia (movie)}}
Palkia debuted in {{ma|The Rise of Darkrai}} manga adaptation, where it was fighting {{mov|Dialga}}. In the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga adaptation, Palkia, along with the members of its trio, were summoned by [[Sheena]] to help Ash and his friends. Palkia and the other members of its trio soon engaged {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} in a battle.

Palkia also appeared in {{OBP|Arceus and the Jewel of Life|graphic novel|the graphic novel adaptation}} of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Pokémon of myth (Adventures)}}
===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
Palkia first appeared in ''[[PS410|Creeping Away from Cradily]]''. Palkia, along with Dialga, was summoned by [[Cyrus]] in order to create a new world. Cyrus used the Red Chains to force Dialga and Palkia to fight each other in order to distort time and space and create a portal that would swallow the existing world. {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} worked together with their Pokémon to free Dialga and Palkia from their controlled states.

Later on, an accident with handling [[Charon]]'s machine caused Dialga, Palkia and Cyrus to be dragged into the portal before it closed completely.

===={{MangaArc|Platinum}}====
It was revealed that {{p|Giratina}} imprisoned both Dialga and Palkia in the [[Distortion World]] before setting off into the current dimension to wreak havoc. Soon, Cyrus and Diamond met in the Distortion World, and agreed to free Dialga and Palkia using their Pokémon. Dialga and Palkia later resumed their struggle against Giratina in the Distortion World. When Charon decided to escape from the Distortion World on Giratina, Pearl got on Palkia and chased after him. Giratina was eventually defeated, with Dialga and Palkia forcing it back into the Distortion World for good before both returned to the Spear Pillar.

===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
Palkia was created in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], along with Dialga and Giratina, by {{p|Arceus}}'s creation process, which was forced by [[Team Rocket]]'s {{tc|Executive}}s. Knowing that the creation process would threaten the [[Johto]] region, Team Rocket's true leader {{adv|Giovanni}} returned with [[Lance]] and [[Pryce]] to keep the three Pokémon of myth at bay while {{adv|Gold}} tried to calm Arceus down. Palkia was kept at bay by Lance and his {{p|Dragonite}}. Once Arceus was eventually becalmed, Dialga and Palkia departed from Johto and were spotted by [[Cynthia]].

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
Palkia appeared in ''[[DPA20|The Advent of the Legendary Pokémon!!]]'' as a silhouette. It officially debuted in ''[[DPA21|Will Hareta's Wish Get Through?!]]''.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:SSBBSpearPillarPalkia.png|thumb|200px|Palkia on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
Palkia occasionally appears on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it. It only appears on the stage when the ground on the upper level has a purple tinge to it. Unlike {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Cresselia}}, however, it will use its powers to distort the stage in multiple ways. Some examples include tilting the stage, turning the stage completely upside down, and reversing the screen itself (the last two will cause the movement controls to be reversed temporarily). It often shoots beams in the cave below, dealing a lot of damage to the players that get caught in the blast.

====Trophy information====
''"A Spatial Pokémon. In the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], this {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has been revered for many generations, much like Dialga. Dialga warps time, but Palkia has control over space. It lives between parallel dimensions and is known for its power, rumored to be able to warp space. It can use {{m|Spacial Rend}} to rip through the very space an enemy resides in, damaging the foe at the same time. It is Pearl's [[Game mascot|mascot]]."''
{{-}}

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Palkia SSB4.jpg|thumb|250px|Palkia summoned from a {{i|Poké Ball}} in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]]]
Palkia appears as a Pokémon released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}. It uses Spacial Rend, which flips the stage for a time, and can cause damage. Palkia also causes damage on contact.

[[File:Palkia_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|left|150px|Palkia trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Palkia also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''Stories surround this Legendary Water/ Dragon-type Pokémon, saying that it has control over all of space. Its Spacial Rend attack will tear space and flip the screen upside down. When this happens, the left and right controls of the fighters will become flipped as well. ''

'''PAL''': ''Stories of this Legendary Pokémon say that Palkia is a god that controls all of space. When it uses its Spacial Rend attack in Super Smash Bros., it causes the screen to flip upside down. If that wasn't confusing enough, it also flips the left and right controls!''
{{-}}

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
[[File:SSBUPalkia.png|thumb|left|250px|Palkia summoned from a {{i|Poké Ball}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]
[[File:SSBUSpearPillarPalkia.png|thumb|250px|Palkia on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]
Palkia returns as a Pokémon summoned from a Poké Ball, using Spacial Rend like its appearance in ''For Nintendo 3DS/Wii U'' while also appearing as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}. Palkia cannot be summoned on 3D Land, Arena Ferox, Balloon Fight, Brinstar, Dream Land GB, Golden Plains, Green Hill Zone, Jungle Japes, Mushroomy Kingdom, Mute City SNES, Paper Mario, PictoChat 2, {{St|Prism Tower}}, Reset Bomb Forest, {{St|Spear Pillar}} (for obvious reasons), Suzaku Castle, Tomodachi Life, Tortimer Island, WarioWare Inc., or Yoshi's Island. Palkia's Spacial Rend will not be able to flip the stage upside down if a fighter is equipped with a spirit with Screen-Flip Immunity, though it will still remain on stage to damage any opponents who touch it. Palkia also reprises its role as a stage hazard on the returning {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage. Spear Pillar now allows for any of the three [[Legendary Pokémon]] to appear each time, rather than being set for the whole match.

==Trivia==
[[File:Spatial World.png|thumb|right|250px|Palkia's world in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'']]
* Palkia is the only Pokémon that will cause an {{p|Arceus}} equipped with the [[Legend Plate]] to become {{t|Dragon}}-type when using {{m|Judgment}}. This is because Palkia's type permutation is the only one that can result in a Dragon-type Judgment, and Palkia is the only Pokémon with this permutation in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
* Palkia's [[gender]] differs between various [[Pokémon]] media. It is gender unknown in the [[core series]] games, male in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}'s story (although it is still gender unknown for purposes of gameplay) and female in the {{pmin|Russia}}n dub of the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* In games prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Palkia has a catch rate of 30.
* Origin Forme Palkia is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Palkia and {{p|Dialga}} are the only two Pokémon that can be legitimately caught in every kind of [[Poké Ball]] in the core series to date (besides the [[Park Ball]], which cannot be the registered Poké Ball of any Pokémon), as they are the only two Pokémon that can be caught with the [[Origin Ball]].
* The gems on Palkia's shoulders resemble Pale [[Sphere]]s.
* Palkia is in the highest [[IQ]] group. [[List of Pokémon by IQ group|It takes this position in IQ group J]], and is the only Pokémon in IQ group J.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness]], Palkia, along with [[Primal Dialga]], the [[legendary giants]], the {{p|Magnemite}} family, and {{p|Regigigas}}, all speak in all capital letters, unlike the other Pokémon in the game.
* Although the portal to [[Dimension#Palkia's world|Palkia's world]] appears in [[core series]] games, the inside of that world has only been shown in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* At the end of one of Palkia's roars from the animated series and {{pkmn|movies}}, a roar of {{wp|King Ghidorah|Mecha-King Ghidorah}}, a {{wp|kaiju}} from the 1991 {{wp|Toho}} film ''{{wp|Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah}}'', can be heard.

===Concept and development===
Palkia and Dialga were designed by [[Ken Sugimori]].<ref>[[https://web.archive.org/web/20100111034554/http://www.go-pokemon.com/op/news/articles/16.html Pokémon Creators, Artists at the World Championships</ref>

===Merchandise===
* Palkia was featured as a card caddy in the [[2008 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys]].
* Palkia was featured as a promotional toy in the [[2018 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Origin===
Palkia, along with {{p|Dialga}}, may be based on the {{wp|Shinto}} legend of {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}}, who are said to have created one island with a spear, erected a pillar on it, and from there created the islands of Japan. Appearance-wise, Palkia is likely based after a European {{wp|dragon}} combined with a {{wp|pearl}}. Its appearance may also be derived from the ''{{wp|Plateosaurus}}'' or other bipedal dinosaurs such as the ''{{wp|Oviraptor}}''. The plates covering its face along with the crest on its neck together resemble the helmets worn by soldiers in {{wp|Ancient Greece}} and {{wp|Ancient Rome|Rome}} — this resemblance is made even more apparent in its Origin Forme.

Its {{t|Water}} [[type]] is possibly inspired by its association with pearls, or the large space that {{wp|ocean}}s are known to span. Metaphorically, it could be a reference to the ever-changing forms of physical matter in the universe, with energy and matter flowing between states and changing forms. It could also refer to the Ancient Greek astronomy depicting Earth submerged in water. Its Water type might also represent the liquid {{wp|state of matter}}, whereas Dialga's {{t|Steel}} type represents the solid state and {{p|Giratina}}'s {{t|Ghost}} type represents the gaseous state.

Palkia's Origin Forme appears to be based on {{p|Arceus}}. It bears similarities to a {{wp|centaur}} and the winged horse {{wp|Pegasus}} from Greek mythology. As Arceus seems to take inspiration from the ''{{wp|qilin}}'', this influence is seen with Origin Forme Palkia as well with its mix of equine and draconic qualities (including Palkia's Dragon typing).

====Name origin====
Palkia may be derived from パール ''pāru'' (pearl), ''[[Wiktionary:galaxia|galaxia]]'', and 海 ''kai'' (sea, ocean, referring to their liquid state of matter theme).

'''Empoleon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エンペルト''' ''Emperte'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Prinplup}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Piplup}}.

==Biology==
Empoleon is a large, navy-blue, {{wp|penguin}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a wide, yellow beak that extends upward into three pointed horns that form a trident-shaped crest bracketing blue eyes. Large horns are a symbol of leadership and strength for Empoleon. There is a blue marking resembling a crown over its eyes and a white, lacy marking running down its chest. A blue, fin-like projection forms a collar around its throat and runs down the length of its chest and belly. On its back are two raised, gold bumps and a second blue fin that forms its tail. Its yellow feet are webbed with three toes each and its feathers form ruffs above its feet. It has wide, flipper-like wings rimmed with blue along the tips, and three golden claws.

The edges of these wings are comparable to master-crafted blades, capable of slicing through ice floes, and this Pokémon will use them to attack anyone or anything that damages its pride. Empoleon is known to be merciless, decimating anything that harms its colony. However, it prefers to avoid unnecessary disputes at times. When swimming in the water, Empoleon can move as fast as a jet boat. In [[Hisui]], people have revered Empoleon since ancient times, referring to it as the Master of the Waves. As mentioned in [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Empoleon has occasionally been seen swiping its wings furiously even as it sleeps. It is believed Empoleon is dreaming of protecting its colony in a battle against foes.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Evolution===
Empoleon evolves from {{p|Prinplup}} and is the final form of {{p|Piplup}}.

===NPC appearances===

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

** If the player chose {{p|Chimchar}}, the player's [[rival]], {{Ga|Barry}}, will pick {{P|Piplup}} in {{G|Diamond and Pearl}}, as well as {{G|Platinum}} and [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]. This Piplup will eventually evolve into Empoleon.

** In {{G|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]], [[Amarys]] of the [[Blueberry Academy|Blueberry]] [[Elite Four]] will use an Empoleon as part of her team.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Empoleon.
** Due to this unique type combination, Empoleon is also currently the only fully evolved [[first partner Pokémon]] which neither resists nor is weak to the moves of the other first partner Pokémon types ({{t|Fire}} and {{t|Grass}}).
** In addition, this type combination provides the most resistances-plus-immunities for Empoleon out of all fully [[Evolution|evolved]] [[first partner Pokémon]], at 11 (8 ½× resistances, 2 ¼× resistances, and 1 immunity).
* Empoleon is the only evolved [[first partner Pokémon]] to be {{type|Steel}}.
* In {{g|Black and White}}, a {{tc|Biker}} gang called the Black Empoleon will gather along the [[Tubeline Bridge]] on Friday nights. If the player defeats their leader, they will rename themselves after the player's lead Pokémon.

===Origin===
Empoleon appears to be based on an {{wp|emperor penguin}} and an emperor, about its royal appearance. Based on its names in various languages, Empoleon may specifically take inspiration from {{wp|Napoleon Bonaparte}}, an emperor of {{wp|France}}. Empoleon's beak has the appearance of both a crown and a {{wp|trident}}, a fishing tool and the weapon of choice for the Greek god of the sea, {{wp|Poseidon}}. Empoleon also bears some resemblance to the {{wp|royal penguin}}. Its ability to cut through ice with its sharp wings could be a reference to an {{wp|icebreaker}}.

====Name origin====
Empoleon may be a combination of ''emperor penguin'', ''polar'' or ''South Pole'', and ''{{wp|Napoleon}}''.

Emperte may be a combination of ''emperor penguin'' and ''Bonaparte'' (Napoleon's surname).

'''Meganium''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メガニウム''' ''Meganium'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bayleef}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Chikorita}}.

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

==Biology==
Meganium is a large, quadrupedal, {{wp|Reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|Sauropoda|sauropod}} {{wp|dinosaur}}. It has a pale green body, a long, well-defined neck, a pair of eyes with yellow irises, a short, rounded snout, a pair of {{wp|stamen}}-like feelers, and a stubby tail. Each of its feet have a set of three white claws. Around its neck, there is a large, pink flower with six petals, a frilly white edge, and a short, spiky, yellow patern on the center.

The flower around its neck emits a soothing, refreshing aroma, and its breath has the power to restore the life of withered plants. Meganium can use its fragrance to weaken the fighting spirit of opposing Pokémon, causing them to even sleep peacefully side-by-side with it, as mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> The flower's calming effects appear to extend to being something of a sleep aid. It tends to be very docile and has been portrayed as a peacemaker in the {{aniseries|AG}} episode ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out!]]''. Meganium can rarely be found living in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

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

As a result of Mega Evolution, Mega Meganium undergoes rapid growth,<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-meganium Mega Meganium | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> making its body bigger and increasing the number of large flowers around its neck to four. The flowers are noticeably thicker than on regular Meganium, have each a different color (from top to bottom: red, dark pink, light pink, and white), and have six petals ending in a pointy tip, with a spiky pattern branching radially from the center on three of these petals. This pattern is red on the white flower and white in all of the others. Mega Meganium's stamen-like feelers branch from a single point as a V-shape and curl onto themselves near the tip. Its tail has grown, and the bottom of each of its legs is covered in dark green frills that resemble foliage.

Mega Meganium can detect changes in the weather with its feelers, allowing it to seek out places where it can photosynthesize more efficiently. Accordingly, its four flowers store up massive amounts of solar energy, producing a fragrant substance that, depending on the dosage inhaled, can either calm down or cause agitation on those who smell it. The accumulated solar power also allows Mega Meganium to unleash powerful {{m|Solar Beam}}s instantly from its four flowers, a move also known as "{{a|Mega Sol|Mega Sol Cannon}}". Due to its larger body, Mega Meganium's physical capabilities have been improved, with it now excelling in close combat and trampling foes when its Solar Beams prove ineffective. Mega Evolution is said to have made its fighting style bolder, but this has also led to it becoming more careless in certain situations.<ref name=ZAsite/><ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_z-a/ja/pokemon/251106_01/ 『Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A 公式サイト (Mega Meganium | "Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A" Official Website)]</ref>

Mega Meganium is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Mega Sol}} as an [[Ability]].

{{main|Meganium (UNITE)}}
Meganium is playable through obtaining a Unite License. It is a melee supporter that starts as Chikorita and evolves into Bayleef at level 5, which evolves into Meganium at level 7.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Bayleef and Meganium are the only Pokémon to have a one-point difference between their base Attack and Special Attack stats.
* Meganium's evolutionary line are the only [[first partner Pokémon]] evolutionary line to keep their Japanese voices in the English [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}}. This is due to them having nearly identical names in English and Japanese (with Meganium even being spelled identically to its official Japanese romanization).

===Concept and development===
[[File:Spr 2d 154.png|thumb|150px|right|Early design of Meganium]]
In the [[Spaceworld '97 demo]], Meganium appears to be based on the Pokémon known as ''Hanaryū'' (ハナリュウ).

===Design variations===
Meganium's design has slightly changed over the years. Its original design in {{v2|Gold and Silver|s}} had orange petals, round green inner petals, and florets around the base of the neck. In {{v|Crystal}}, Meganium's flower was changed to be closer to the modern design, save for a pair of stripes on each petal. These stripes would remain until their removal in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

===Origin===
Meganium has the appearance of a {{wp|sauropoda|sauropod}}, particularly an ''{{wp|Apatosaurus}}''. Its flower seems to be based on a type of hybrid {{wp|daylily}} with ruffled edges and its long neck makes it similar to the ''{{wp|Amorphophallus titanum|titan arum}}''. It may also draw inspiration from {{wp|pelargonium|geraniums}}, as suggested by its name. Meganium's design may have also been influenced by ''{{wp|Aachenosaurus}}'', an ancient plant whose fossils were once believed to belong to a dinosaur. Its proportions and face resemble those of the herbivorous {{wp|Galápagos tortoises}}, with its neck flower resembling the way their shells open at the front.

====Name origin====
Meganium, in English, may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:mega-#English|mega‑]]'' and ''{{wp|geranium}}''.

Meganium, in Japanese, may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:メガ|メガ]]'' ''mega‑'' and ''geranium''.

'''Feraligatr''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オーダイル''' ''Ordile'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

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

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

==Biology==
[[File:Sleep Style 0160-1.png|thumb|left|200px|Feraligatr sleeps with one eye open]]
Feraligatr is a bulky, bipedal, {{wp|Crocodylia|crocodilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with blue scales. It has large, powerful jaws lined with several sharp fangs. Three teeth are visible when its jaws are closed: two in its lower jaw and one in its upper jaw. Its eyes are red with black markings around them and ridges above them and its lower jaw is yellow. There are three red spines on its body, each with three points: one on top of its head, one between its shoulders, and one near the tip of its tail. There are also several groups of large, rectangular scales on its arms, knees, tail, and waist. Its back is slightly hunched with ridges behind the shoulders and hips. On its lower body is a yellow V-shaped marking that extends up to its thighs; there is a thin line through the center of the marking. Its arms have five clawed fingers each, and its feet three clawed toes.

Feraligatr opens its powerful jaws to intimidate its foes and viciously shakes its head once it clamps down on foes or prey. Because it has difficulty supporting its weight out of the water, it has been known to move on all fours. However, when hunting or fighting, it is agile and fast, due to its powerful hind legs. Feraligatr can rarely be found living near {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|the water's edge}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Feraligatr and its pre-Evolutions are known to sleep with one eye open and rest only half of its brain at a time — a practice known as {{wp|Unihemispheric slow-wave sleep|unihemispheric sleep}}. As Feraligatr sleeps, it constantly keeps watch on its surroundings; it will immediately charge towards threats should it sense any.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Feraligatr Totodile Mask.png|200px|thumb|left|Mega Feraligatr's Totodile mask]]
Feraligatr can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Feraligatr.

As a result of Mega Evolution, Mega Feraligatr's dorsal fin has grown gigantic and transformed into a dark red, hoodlike structure with a serrated edge. On either side of its dorsal fin, there is a false red eye with black sclera debossed into the surface. Notably, it now resembles a {{p|Totodile}}'s head, which led some people to call it a "Totodile mask".<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-feraligatr Mega Feraligatr | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> The rectangular scales spread throughout Feraligatr's body have all changed in some way: the ones on its arms and tail became covered by a dark red and blue-gray spike each, respectively; the ones on its shoulders and knees have simply changed to a blue-gray color, as did its four sets of claws; and the ones on its waist completely transformed into dark red, arm-like fins with a small nub near the end. The yellow V-shaped split marking has moved upward in Mega Feraligatr's body, with a new V-shaped, continuous blue-gray plate on its place. It now has three dark red ridges running down its back, with the one on the center ending in a large spike, and a singular spike at the end of its tail.

Mega Feraligatr uses its gigantic dorsal fin in tandem with its arm spikes in order to create a massive false jaw, which possesses a bite force that is ten times stronger than its actual jaws and is even able to crunch objects larger than its actual jaws. In order to accomplish this, it clasps its hands together to form the mandible and lowers the Totodile mask to act as the maxilla; when doing so, the center of its false eyes glow white, resembling pupils. Mega Feraligatr's dorsal fin has other purposes: it protects its head from incoming physical attacks and helps it dissipate the excess body heat generated by Mega Evolution. While the reason why its dorsal fin resembles a Totodile's head is still unknown, it has been theorized that it could be to restore the optimized biting power it had as a Totodile.<ref name=ZAsite/>

Mega Feraligatr is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Dragonize}} as an [[Ability]].

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Feraligatr reaches its final evolutionary form earlier than any other [[first partner Pokémon]], at level 30. However, {{p|Totodile}} evolves at level 18, the latest of any basic first partner Pokémon, tied with {{p|Turtwig}}.
* Mega Feraligatr is tied with Hero Form {{p|Palafin}} for the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* Feraligatr is the only fully evolved [[Johto]] first partner Pokémon to appear in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]].

===Origin===
Feraligatr appears to be based on a {{wp|crocodilia}}n. It visually resembles an {{wp|alligator}}. The yellow marking on its belly might be a reference to the yellow stripes on young {{wp|American alligator}}s. In {{g|Sleep}}, Feraligatr and its pre-Evolutions are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles. The crest on Feraligatr's head is similar to the {{wp|mohawk hairstyle}} which may allude to Feraligatr's boisterous personality.

Mega Feraligatr's appearance when closing its external "jaw" is similar to that of its pre-Evolution {{p|Totodile}}.<ref name=ZAsite/> Mega Feraligatr's ability to change into a Totodile-like form may be a reference to {{wp|Category:Transforming toys|transforming toy}}s. The enlarged, Totodile-shaped dorsal fin resembles the "[[Wiktionary:kibble#Etymology 4|kibble]]" parts found on such toys, or the headpiece of a {{wp|Costume#Mascots|mascot costume}}. It may also reference the behavior of certain crocodile species that carry their young within their jaws, although in this case the imagery is inverted, since the Totodile-shaped dorsal fin encloses Feraligatr’s own head. Together with Mega Feraligatr's secondary {{type|Dragon}}, its Totodile mask gimmick may also be a reference to {{p|Regidrago}} and its ability to similarly transform into a dragon head, with its ability of {{a|Dragonize}} being similar to Regidrago's [[signature ability]], {{a|Dragon's Maw}}.

====Name origin====
Feraligatr may be a combination of ''{{wp|feral|feral}}'' or ''[[wiktionary:ferocious|ferocious]]'' and ''{{wp|alligator}}''. The shortening of "gator" into ''gatr'' may be a result of the ten-character limit on English Pokémon names in [[Generation II]].

Ordile may be a combination of [[wiktionary:王#Etymology 1 2|王]] ''ō'' (king), [[wiktionary:皇#Japanese|皇]] ''ō'' (emperor), or [[wiktionary:大#Japanese|大]] ''ō'' (large), and ''{{wp|crocodile}}''.

'''Gyarados''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャラドス''' ''Gyarados'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magikarp}} starting at [[level]] 20.

Gyarados can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gyarados''' using the [[Gyaradosite]].

==Biology==
[[File:Gyarados Mouth Closed.png|thumb|left|250px|Gyarados with its mouth closed]]
Gyarados is a {{wp|fish|piscine}}, draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long serpentine body covered in slightly overlapping scales. It is mostly blue with a yellow underbelly, and it has a row of yellow spots down each side. Its mouth is very large and gaping, bearing four pointed teeth and yellow lips. It has one pair of {{wp|barbels (anatomy)|barbel}} and a small white fin on each side of its face. The barbels are white on a female and blue on a male. It has small, red eyes, a three-pointed, dark blue crest on its head, and four white, spiky {{wp|dorsal fin}}s. Gyarados's tail fin is similar in structure to the crest on its head, except with a thin, white fin spread between the points.

The process of Evolution causes a change in its brain structure that is believed to cause its violent nature. Gyarados's fangs can crush stones and its scales are harder than steel. Gyarados is feared for its fierce temper and wanton destructive tendencies since ancient times. In some regions, Gyarados is called the "deity of destruction" because of this. It appears in times of conflict and destroys the surrounding area. Its rampages have been known to last a month at a time. These rampages can occur even during a harsh storm. A Gyarados' rage won't stop completely until everything is destroyed. Some believed any human settlement is fated to be destroyed should a Gyarados appear. Gyarados lives in both {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|fresh and salty waters}}. Both Gyarados and its Mega form have demonstrated in [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' that it can leap huge distances both from the water<ref>''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]''</ref> and from the ground<ref>''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]''</ref>, usually several times its own body length. However, Gyarados is rarely seen in the wild. The move {{m|Hyper Beam}} is often associated with Gyarados due to it being powerful enough to instantly destroy everything it hits.

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

When it Mega Evolves, Gyarados becomes bulkier. The fins on its cheeks become longer and gain a yellow tint. Its crest is larger and black, and its barbels also gain considerable length. A large spike extends downward underneath its chin, and it now has a black underside with a red stripe around the edges. The yellow spots along its body are replaced by raised red scales, which propel Mega Gyarados through the water. Two large yellow fins with blue spines appear on its back. Most of the other fins along its back disappear, replaced by two rows of blue spikes. There are now four yellowish, spiky fins near its tail: two on its back and two on its underside.

Due to the stress Mega Evolution puts on a Gyarados's body, it becomes even more ferocious and rough-tempered than before.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Gyarados Mega Gyarados | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Gyarados archived])</ref> All other brain functions cease when Mega Evolution occurs, except for the destructive drive to burn down anything into cinders. Despite its brain having a powerful destructive instinct, it will obey a {{pkmn|Trainer}} it truly trusts. Mega Gyarados can launch at Mach speed by using its orifices to release water from both sides. With this speed, it has enough power to split large ships in two. Mega Gyarados is tied with {{p|Hoopa}} {{fd|Hoopa|Unbound}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Dark}}.

[[File:Gyarados Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Gyarados in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
Gyarados appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. It doesn't behave like any traditional piece in chess. It is only present after Magikarp is damaged.

Gyarados was featured as:
* a Poké Beanbag in the [[1999 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys]].

===Concept and development===
Gyarados was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]].<ref name=Yomiuri>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/ichiran/20180501-OYT8T50139/1/ Interview with Yomiuri] about Pikachu's creation (page 1)</ref>

[[File:Gyarados Capsule Monsters 1990 Sprite Sheet.png|thumb|150px|Gyarados sprite from Capsule Monsters]]
An early design of Gyarados was shown in the original [[Capsule Monsters]] pitch to [[Nintendo]].<ref>https://helixchamber.com/media/capsule-monsters/</ref> On December 2018, the beta sprite for Gyarados was showcased on a NHK Broadcast in Japan, where it had a worm-like body with a mouthful of sharp teeth and barbels on the top of its head.<ref>https://www.newsweek.com/pokemon-beta-designs-red-green-1265710</ref>

In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta]], Gyarados was originally known in English as ''Skulkraken''. This is a combination of ''skull'' and ''{{wp|kraken}}'', which is a mythological sea monster. According to Pokémon translator [[Nob Ogasawara]], he was the one who suggested that [[Nintendo of America]] keep Gyarados's Japanese name unchanged after "Skulkraken" was rejected by the company's legal department.<ref>(November 27, 2024). "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJMh4v-wicg A Vocation in Translation with Nob Ogasawara]." ''4Kids Flashback'' Podcast hosted by [[Tara Sands]] and Steve Yurko.</ref>

[[File:Mega Gyarados XY concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|[[:a:Category:Concept art from Pokémon X and Y|Concept art]] featuring Mega Gyarados from {{game|X and Y|s}}.]]

Internal code names in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] suggest that Gyarados and Magikarp may have been planned to receive [[convergent species]] based on them, codenamed OKAGYARADOSU, literally "hill Gyarados", and OKAKINGU, literally "hill king" from Koiking. These code names were instead assigned to {{p|Toedscruel}} and {{p|Toedscool}}, respectively.

===Origin===
[[File:EP244 Unknown Pokémon.png|thumb|200px|The unnamed Pokémon resembling Mega Gyarados]]
Gyarados appears to be based on a {{wp|Chinese dragon}} and a {{wp|koinobori}}. Gyarados is heavily hinted to be based on the Chinese tale of a {{p|Magikarp|carp}} ascending into a dragon upon swimming up a river or waterfall and then {{m|Splash|leaping}} over the {{wp|Longmen (mythology)|Dragon Gate}}. This legend is an allegory for the drive needed to overcome obstacles, which can be tied to the fact it can take a lot of effort to evolve a Magikarp into Gyarados.

Gyarados may also reference myths about earthquakes that were popular in Japan until the late Edo period. While said phenomenon is currently associated with the giant catfish {{wp|Namazu}}, older explanations involved a giant underground dragon encircling the Japanese archipelago, or located under certain islands (such as the {{wp|Chikubu Island}} in the {{wp|Lake Biwa}}). Notably, the [[Lake of Rage]] appears to be the Pokémon world's counterpart of the Lake Biwa.

Gyarados also seems to be inspired by depictions of vicious {{wp|sea monster}}s — mainly sea dragons and {{wp|sea serpent}}s — found on medieval and Renaissance maritime navigation maps, such as the ''{{wp|Carta marina}}''. This is further hinted by one of Gyarados' English names during early localization ("Skulkraken"), which references a {{wp|kraken}}. Alternatively, Gyarados could also be inspired by the South African cryptid {{wp|Inkanyamba}}, a giant, winged eel that causes storms when angry.

Mega Gyarados appears to continue the theme of cartographic sea monsters, incorporating details of fish-like depictions of creatures such as the {{wp|Leviathan}} and the Serra. Furthermore, its design, specifically its large dorsal fins, strongly resembles that of the unnamed "legendary water Pokémon" seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP244|Enlighten Up!]]'', first aired on April 18, 2002, in which Misty recounts seeing an unknown water Pokémon. This creature may have inspired the design of Mega Gyarados when it was eventually created 10 years later.

====Name origin====
According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Gyarados's name has no specific origin and was chosen merely for its "force".<ref name=Nameorigin>[https://archive.ph/ueFjq Tweet by 杉森建 (@SUPER_32X).] Posted on December 12, 2011. Archived from the original via Archive.today.</ref> However, it may be variously derived from 虐殺 ''gyakusatsu'' (slaughter), 逆境 ''gyakkyō'' (adversity), or 逆転 ''gyakuten'' (reversal, turnaround); 荒らす ''arasu'' (to devastate); and 脅す ''odosu'' (to threaten).

'''Charizard''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザードン''' ''Lizardon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Charmander}}.

Charizard has three forms:
* It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Charizard X''' using the [[Charizardite X]] or '''Mega Charizard Y''' using the [[Charizardite Y]].
* It can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Charizard''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}.

Charizard is the [[game mascot]] of {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Red Version}}, its {{game|Red and Blue|s|international counterpart}}, and its [[remake]], {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed Version}}, appearing on the boxart of all three games.

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

==Biology==
Charizard is a {{wp|dragon|draconic}}, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is primarily orange with a cream underside from the chest to the tip of its tail. It has a long neck, small blue eyes, slightly raised nostrils, and two horn-like structures protruding from the back of its rectangular head. Two fangs are visible in its upper jaw when its mouth is closed. Two large wings with blue-green undersides sprout from its back, and a horn-like appendage juts out from the top of the third joint of each wing. A single wing finger is visible through the center of each wing membrane. Charizard's arms are short and skinny compared to its robust belly, and each limb has three white claws. In {{g|Red and Green Versions}}, Charizard is seemingly shown holding a fireball, implying that it's capable of manipulating its flames using its hands; this is seen in media where it uses {{m|Fire Punch}}. It has stocky legs with cream-colored soles on each of its {{wp|plantigrade}} feet. The tip of its long, tapering tail burns with a sizable flame, which can intensify to a blue flame if Charizard is irritated.

Charizard flies in search of powerful opponents to battle, and its fire will burn hotter as it gains experience. Its fiery breath can melt boulders and massive glaciers and has been known to cause forest fires accidentally. Though its fiery breath is hot, it never turns it on any opponent weaker than itself. In the {{aniseries|GS}} episode ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', it is established that only a weak Charizard would show off its power. Its wings can carry it to an altitude of 4,600 feet (1,400 meters), but [[An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS]] notes that its droppings were found on {{wp|Mt. Fuji}}, implying it could fly thrice as high. In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', it was shown that Charizard is vulnerable to having its tail flame going out in the same way as {{p|Charmander}}, as [[Ash Ketchum]] warns [[Ash's Charizard|his Charizard]] to not let its flame go out. However, the side story episode ''[[HS17|Those Darn Electabuzz!]]'' showed that Charizard can swim underwater, with [[Pokémon Origins]] further showing that the flame on the tip of the tail can still keep burning underwater. Charizard typically inhabits {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains and valleys}}, such as the [[Charicific Valley]] in [[Johto]]. However, Charizard can also live in volcanoes, forming packs with other members of its family, including {{p|Charmander}}. In [[Pokémon Snap]], it's shown that Charizard is fully capable of living inside lava within volcanic craters. In {{g|Sleep}}, as well as media like the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Charizard is known to sleep in an incredibly relaxed position, as it is very confident in its power. A Charizard sleeping flat on its back may be an indicator of that Charizard being especially strong.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

Even though Charizard originally couldn't learn the [[move]] {{m|Fly}}, [[Pokémon Trainer]]s have been shown riding Charizard in official artwork dating back to the 1997 [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards|Carddass Trading Cards]]. Ash himself was shown riding his Charizard already in the [[S02|second season]] of the [[original series]] of ''Pokémon the Series''. Eventually, in {{game|Yellow}}, Charizard became able to learn Fly and has since been frequently depicted as a Pokémon able to carry people on its back to fly them to distant areas. In [[Alola]], Charizard is a [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] called Charizard Glide, being used by the natives to fly around the region or make deliveries.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Charizard X Mega Charizard Y artwork 2.png|left|thumb|250px|Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y.]]
Charizard has three alternate forms: [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, and [[Gigantamax]] Charizard.

Both of Charizard's Mega Evolutions feature a shorter snout, white, vertical slit pupils, and a bright underside reaching the lower jaw.

====Mega Charizard X====
As Mega Charizard X, its body and legs are more physically fit, though its arms remain thin. Its skin turns black with a sky-blue underside and soles. Two spikes with blue tips curve upward from the front and back of each shoulder, while the tips of its horns sharpen, turn blue, and curve slightly upward. Its brow and claws are larger, and its eyes are now red. It has two small, fin-like spikes under each horn and two more down its lower neck. The finger disappears from the wing membrane, and the lower edges are divided into large, rounded points. The third joint of each wing-arm is adorned with a claw-like spike. It breathes blue flames out the sides of its mouth, and the flame on its tail now burns blue consistently.

The overwhelming power of Mega Evolution causes Mega Charizard X's body to turn black and its intense flames to become blue and burn hotter.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Charizard%20X Mega Charizard X | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Charizard%20X archived])</ref><ref name=MEgaCharizardXY>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-gb/story/#:~:text=Mega%20Charizard%20X%20/%20Mega%20Charizard%20Y Mega Charizard X / Mega Charizard Y | Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee!]</ref>

====Mega Charizard Y====
As Mega Charizard Y, it becomes sleeker in appearance but retains its normal coloration. It has three pointed horns on the back of its head, the middle of which is longer. Its snout has larger fangs and a ridge on the nose. Its neck is shorter, but its torso is thinner and longer. It features longer {{wp|digitigrade}} feet. Its hands are less developed, with extremely shortened fingers that are no longer separated from each other. Small wings develop on its wrists, while the ones on its back become larger, lose the wing finger passing through their membrane and end up with ragged edges. The back of its tail has a large spike at the base and three smaller ones near the tip, which now burns with a longer flame.

Mega Charizard Y has an incredible flying prowess that allows it to reach great heights in the sky.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Charizard%20Y Mega Charizard Y | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Charizard%20Y archived])</ref> Its speed and maneuverability is greater than that of a jet fighter,<ref name=MEgaCharizardXY/> and the source of its power is said to come from its bond with its {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

|
|}

====Gigantamax Charizard====
[[File:Leon Charizard G-Max Wildfire.png|thumb|left|220px|Gigantamax Charizard's wingless body]]
Gigantamax Charizard's belly is now white instead of its normal cream coloration, with a distinctive pattern of diamonds (some fully colored yellow, others merely outlined in yellow) on the lower portion. A similar pattern (this time filled and edged with a brown color) is on each leg facing forward. Its hand and feet claws are proportionally larger; also, Charizard now stands in a digitigrade stance. The sclerae of the eyes become yellow. The glow of a flame can be seen in the mouth, and the teeth grow, with the lower front teeth and three teeth in the middle now protruding when the mouth is closed. Its tail flame has expanded with respect to its body, growing down the tail towards the body instead of simply sprouting from the end; this enlarged flame is where the three orbiting clouds signature to the Dynamax phenomenon manifest themselves. Each of its horns now emits flames, and its wings have become constructs of pure fire, with burning extensions that outline its clavicle and stop right before they connect on its chest.

Due to being enhanced by Gigantamax energy, the fire within Charizard's body has become much stronger, burning hotter than 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit (2,000 degrees Celsius) and continuing to rise in temperature when Gigantamax Charizard roars. When using its [[Signature move|signature]] [[G-Max Move]], {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}, it launches its colossal fiery wings in the shape of a bird, which circles opponents while continuously scorching them with flames even hotter than magma.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-charizard/ Gigantamax Charizard | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Charizard]]=====
{{Ash}} has a Charizard that he {{pkmn2|caught}} as a Charmander in ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]''. He evolved from Charmeleon in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to fight against an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. Unfortunately, Charizard [[Obedience|disobeyed]] Ash's orders until ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''.

Charizard also appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from {{aniseries|PTS}}. In this continuity, it previously belonged to [[Cross]] and evolved from Charmander after defeating a {{p|Jigglypuff}} in {{pkmn|battle}} and later evolved into Charizard while battling Cross's {{p|Incineroar}}. Unlike its ''Pokémon the Series'' counterpart, this Charizard never had obedience issues.

=====[[Charla]]=====
{{jo|Liza}} of the [[Charicific Valley]] owns her own Charizard, [[nickname]]d Charla, which first appeared in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]''. She apparently has a romantic relationship with Ash's Charizard after he became her bodyguard.

=====[[Team A.C.T.]]=====
A Charizard was a member of [[Team A.C.T.]], who was considered for the job of rescuing Big Brother {{p|Pikachu}} in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]''. They were, however, occupied on another mission.

=====[[Alain's Charizard]]=====
[[Alain]] owns a Charizard that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Charizard X. It is his ace Pokémon and first appeared in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]''.

=====[[Trevor's Charizard]]=====
{{an|Trevor}} has a Charizard that he received as a Charmander from {{an|Professor Sycamore}}. It was revealed to be capable of Mega Evolving into Mega Charizard Y, as shown in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]''.

=====[[Kiawe's Charizard]]=====
{{an|Kiawe}} owns a Charizard that was given to him by [[Kiawe's grandfather|his grandfather]]. He often uses it as his personal [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]]. It first appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''.

=====[[Leon's Charizard]]=====
In ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', {{an|Leon}}'s Charizard battled {{an|Lance}}'s {{TP|Lance|Gyarados}} during the [[World Coronation Series]] finals and won. It since made further appearances in {{aniseries|JN}}. Charizard is capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing.

=====[[Friede's Charizard]]=====
In ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', a Charizard appeared under the ownership of [[Friede]]. It is capable of {{Tera}}stallizing into a {{t|Dark}} [[type]] and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Charizard Y, as first seen in ''[[HZ014|Fly!

===Cultural impact===
Charizard was [[List of references to Pokémon in science|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''{{wp|Chilicola charizard}}'', a species of stem-nesting bees. The discoverer, Spencer K. Monckton, was inspired to name the species after Charizard thanks to its mountainous habitat and the orange coloration found in the first specimen he observed.<ref name="Real-life taxonomic influence">[http://zookeys.pensoft.net/articles.php?id=7731 A revision of ''Chilicola'' (''Heteroediscelis''), a subgenus of xeromelissine bees (Hymenoptera, Colletidae) endemic to Chile: taxonomy, phylogeny, and biogeography, with descriptions of eight new species]</ref><ref>(June 1, 2016). "[https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/844107 One of 8 new endemic polyester bees from Chile bears the name of a draconic Pokemon]." ''EurekAlert!''. Pensoft Publishers.</ref>

In the [[Pokémon of the Year]] poll held by [[The Pokémon Company]] in 2020, Charizard was voted the most popular [[Generation I]] Pokémon, receiving 93,968 votes. It was also the fourth most popular Pokémon overall.

===Concept and development===
Charizard, its pre-evolved forms, and Mega Charizard X were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website] (archived, Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://funs-project.com/poplab/007/index_2.html Fun's Project interview with Atsuko Nishida] (Japanese)</ref>

In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta]], Charizard was originally known in English as ''Charizr''.

[[File:Mega Charizard X XY concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|[[:a:Category:Concept art from Pokémon X and Y|Concept art]] featuring Mega Charizard X from {{game|X and Y|s}}.]]

[[File:Mega Charizard Y XY concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|[[:a:Category:Concept art from Pokémon X and Y|Concept art]] featuring Mega Charizard Y from {{game|X and Y|s}}.]]

===Origin===
Charizard may be based on {{wp|European dragon}}s, which are heavily associated with the element of fire in {{wp|European folklore}}; this draconic appearance would later be reflected in the {{2t|Fire|Dragon}} typing of Mega Charizard X. Like its pre-evolved forms, it may also take inspiration from lizards, dinosaurs, and the mythical {{wp|Salamanders in folklore|salamander}}. Its English and Japanese nomenclature may be a reference to how Western dragons are heavily inspired by lizards and other reptiles.

====Name origin====
Charizard may be a combination of ''[[Wiktionary:char#English|char]]'' (to burn) and ''{{wp|lizard}}''.

Lizardon may be a combination of ''lizard'' and either ''{{wp|dragon}}'' or ''{{wp|wiktionary:-don#Translingual|‑don}}'' (common suffix in taxonomic names of prehistoric animals derived from the Ancient Greek word for "tooth").

In [[Hisui]], Sneasel has a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Poison}} [[regional form]], '''{{rf|Hisuian}} Sneasel'''. It evolves into {{p|Sneasler}} when [[level]]ed up while holding a Razor Claw during the day.

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

==Biology==
Sneasel is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles both a cat and a weasel. It is primarily dark teal with three bright red feathers for its tail and a single one on its left ear. The ear feather is shorter on the female than on the male. The other ear is short and pointed, and it has narrow red eyes. On its forehead and chest are oval, yellow gem-like protrusions. It has red eyes with black eyelash-like markings on the edges. It has long limbs with two large, white retractable claws on its hands and feet. It is perfectly capable of using its claws to do substantial damage. Its claws are also used for climbing trees in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|boreal or sub-alpine forests}} where it lives. It can also bring out its claws to startle foes that attacked it.

Sneasel is a smart, sneaky, and notoriously vicious Pokémon, and blends well into the night in order to ambush their prey. Sneasel feeds on {{pkmn|Eggs|eggs}}, such as those of {{p|Pidgey}}, that it steals from unattended nests. It uses its claws to poke a hole in the egg before slurping the contents out. It has been known to form pairs to hunt: one Sneasel will lure the parents away from their nest, while the other steals their eggs. Although the Sneasel pair works together, they will also fight over their hunt among themselves. As a result of its egg-based diet, Sneasel are despised by [[Pokémon Breeder (Trainer class)|Breeders]] to the point where they try to drive away or even outright eradicate them. Sneasel also preys on {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Sandshrew}}, but the Sandshrew's skin is so hard that it can cause Sneasel's claws to snap off. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Sneasel has been observed sleeping peacefully on very rare occasions despite its savage personality. Additionally, it has been seen sleeping with its belly out and languidly washing its face.

Prior to [[Generation IV]], {{m|Beat Up}} was its [[signature move]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Forms===
Sneasel has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Hisuian}} Sneasel.

In [[Hisui]], Sneasel has a similar appearance to its [[Johto]]nian counterpart. It has a lavender body with purple colorations on its face, chest, shoulders, and forelimbs. The feathers on its tail and ear are light purple; like Johtonian Sneasel, the ear feather is shorter on the female than on the male. It has rounder eyes than its Johtonian form, although it shares the latter's gem-like protrusions, as well as the large claws on its hands and feet. The claws are tipped with poison, and are purple on its forelimbs and white on its feet.

Hisuian Sneasel's sturdy and curved claws allow it to climb and travel through the walls of precipitous cliffs where it lives. The venom from the tips of its claws is capable of invading the nervous system of any prey it scratches. It has been observed that Hisuian Sneasel lacks the spitefulness of its Johtonian counterpart, and it has been theorized that differences in their environments account for the differing personalities. As a result, Hisuian Sneasel evolves into {{p|Sneasler}} instead of {{p|Weavile}}.

===Evolution===
Sneasel evolves into {{p|Weavile}}.

{{rf|Hisuian}} Sneasel evolves into {{p|Sneasler}}.

===Concept and development===
{{rf|Hisuian}} Sneasel and {{p|Sneasler|its Evolution}} were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1493600999038021632 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on February 16, 2022.</ref>

[[File:Spr 2d 246.png|thumb|150px|right|Early design of Sneasel]]
In the [[Spaceworld '97 demo]], Sneasel appears to be based on the Pokémon known as ''Nyūra'' (ニューラ). It was a Dark-type Pokémon with a design closer to a weasel.

===Design variations===
Sneasel has been depicted with three variants in color. In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Sneasel had a bronze coloration while its tail feathers were a dark cyan; while in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], Sneasel had a light purple body. The third color variant is its current bluish black color which has been consistently depicted in the main series games from {{game|Crystal}} onwards.

===Origin===
Sneasel's design appears to be based on a cross between a ''{{wp|kamaitachi}}'' and a {{wp|cat}}. More specifically, its feline aspect may have been inspired by {{wp|cat-sìth}}, black cat fae often depicted in {{wp|swashbuckler|swashbuckling}} {{wp|Puss in Boots}} fashion in Japanese media. This may also play on 構太刀 ''kamae tachi'' ("stance sword"), thought to be the origin of ''kamaitachi'', with the Japanese-flavored fairy's sword swapped for ''kamaitachi'' claws.

Hisuian Sneasel might be based on versions of the ''kamaitachi'' that are said to inflict diseases on those who encounter it instead of cuts, which could explain its Poison type. One of these version is called ''yama-misaki'', spirits of people who had accidental deaths that can be found deep into the mountains and in some versions are associated with cliffs, reflecting Hisuian Sneasel's usual habitat.

====Name origin====
Sneasel may be a combination of ''sneaky'' and ''weasel''. It may also derive from ''sneeze'', an action associated with having a cold or being cold, or ''sneesl'' (Scots for ''to begin to rain or snow''), both in reference to its Ice type.

Nyula may be a combination of 潜入 ''sennyū'' (sneaking), にゅー ''nyu'' (cat's purr), 鼬 ''yū'' (alternate reading of ''itachi'', weasel), and 氷柱 ''tsurara'' (icicle). It may also involve 野良 ''nora'' (stray or feral).

==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''.
