==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial '''B''' (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. You will have to register separately for it, as well. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:{{PAGENAME}}/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! [[User:Tina|{{color|E75480|Tina}}]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|{{color|E75480|☆}}]][[User talk:Tina|{{color|E75480|♫}}]] 02:43, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

This may seem rude, but chill out on the Metagame terminology page. You don't have to jump down his throat just because he disagrees with you and the rest of smogon.[[User:DCM|DCM]][[User talk:DCM|((曲奇饼妖怪]][[Special:Contributions/DCM|Spy on My Edits))]] 21:18, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
* I have no intention of hurting anybody. The Wiki's purpose is to provide accurate information to the readers, and if you are going to have articles on Metagame terminology, you should assure that all information is accurate. I don't see the Garchomp edits as anything more than vandalism. And that is not "okay". I think that if you don't want to have these kinds of debates occurring on discussion pages, you should completely abandon any attempts to display competitive information, because these are the kind of discussions you will get.

Please don't erase talk page comments for no reason. Trust me, you do NOT want to end up like {{u|Big Johnno}}, who got into an edit war with [[User:Fabu-Vinny|a sysop]] over comments the former had erased and was trying to keep erased.

Definitions for most parts are wrong. These terms stemmed out from Smogon as usage based tiers and I am changing the definitions to reflect that.--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 20:01, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
::[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11508 SMogon Thread regarding Tiers] So I'm not saying that Competitive Battlign = Smogon always, but that these terms did originate from that source, and must have the proper definitions.--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 20:09, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
::Also forgot to add this quote from that thread that will sum this all up "People want to know which Pokemon are good. Now lets think about this: "since we are basing standards on which Pokemon are used in a competitive enviroment (namely, what you would use in a tournament), would someone over use a bad Pokemon?" No. People want to win, and since people like to use the best Pokemon, we have a correlation between usage and power. The problem comes around when people group Pokemon obviously meant for the BL tier in the OU tier and it becomes a meaningless list of what people think is strong"--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 20:11, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

== Stop ==

Can whoever keeps editing {{p|Garchomp}} off the Uber list please stop it. Especially since you aren't giving any reasons for removing it. [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] 05:49, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
:{{p|Castform}} = NU. Castform's {{m|Blizzard}} = OHKO on Garchomp. That's why I keep removing Garchomp from Uber. [[user:chocolate|Cho]][[user talk:chocolate|col]][[special:contributions/chocolate|ate]] 14:39, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

:I don't even think anyone should even humor that kind of stupidity and ignorance to the ways of the game. Garchomp was extensively tested by players much better than you. If you're going to dispute the logic of Smogon, at least come up with an argument more effective than "it can be one-hit killed by Castform." The icing on the cake is that you're not even correct, considering it runs Yache Berry. [[user:Lulz|Lulz]] 10:43, 28 November 2008 (EST)

::And '''I''' actually tested it myself. The Garchomp '''did''' even have Yache Berry, and my Castform still OHKO'd it with Blizzard. If Garchomp can be OHKO'd by a NU even when it's holding a Yache Berry, there's no way it's Uber. [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]][[User talk:Chocolate|((Talk to Me]][[Special:Contributions/Chocolate||Look at My Contributions))]] 19:44, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

:::Once again, you are ignorant to the ways of the game. That is not a competitive situation. Castform will never realistically be able to kill Garchomp with Blizzard because it has 70 Speed and no defenses. Let's say I have a Garchomp out against something that can't do shit to anything to it, like a Blissey without Ice Beam (and yes, they are common, Flamethrower is often over Ice Beam). If you switch your Castform in, I will use Swords Dance and outrun/kill it with Earthquake. The only time Castform will EVER outrun Garchomp is with a Choice Scarf, in which case you will do 61.45% - 72.63% with Blizzard, factoring in Yache and a +SpA nature. The only time you'll ever have a shot at OHKOing a 4 HP/min SpD Garchomp with Blizzard is if you run Modest Choice Specs, which won't even do it 100% of the time and I will still outrun and kill you with Earthquake. Now, I'd also like to get into the fact that this isn't even how tiers work. Pokemon aren't rated for their sturdiness at all. It should be noted that Deoxys-A is an Uber even though it actually will die to virtually any attack with 50/20/20 defenses. This is because it outruns just about everything in OU save for Ninjask (it can even run Extremespeed for it) and it has amazing type coverage + 180 in both attacking stats. If your test, which consists of taking a faulty calculation out of context and throwing it out there, was the way Smogon tested for Uber status, Deoxys-A would be in OU. Even if Garchomp DID die to Castform Blizzard (it doesn't always even with specs, you clearly were fighting a Garchomp with crappy IVs/Nature/etc.), it still wouldn't be Uber because the reason for it being banned was that if it switched in on something that couldn't damage it, which is quite a few things, it was essentially guaranteed a kill because with a Swords Dance it could 2HKO anything in OU and nothing could reliably OHKO it through the Yache except for Choice Band Weavile who is risking getting killed by any one of Garchomp's attacks if it switches in on a Scarfer or Bander by mistake. Let's not even mention that it might be running SUBSTITUTE, in which case Weavile is completely screwed if it stays in. Your logic is incredibly faulty and if you continue editing Garchomp out of Ubers even after reading this, I can't imagine what anybody could say to convince you of anything at all. [[user:Lulz|Lulz]] 23:40, 28 November 2008 (EST)

::::Only things is, it's not only '''one''' Garchomp. My Castform has OHKO'd '''5''' of them with just Blizzard. [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]][[User talk:Chocolate|((Talk to Me]][[Special:Contributions/Chocolate||Look at My Contributions))]] 01:36, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::Check the Archives. This has been discussed before. Just Because technically Fearow beats Heracross doesnt mean that Fearow is OU or Heracross Is UU. Tiers are not a "This pokemon trumps all below this category" Its a "Stats better, movepool better, typing better, therefore its the better pokemon"[[User:DCM|DCM]][[User talk:DCM|((Shut the **** up]][[Special:Contributions/DCM|Spy on My Edits))]]

::::::But some of Garchomp's stats are horrible. Like its {{Stat|Special Defense}}. [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]][[User talk:Chocolate|((Talk to Me]][[Special:Contributions/Chocolate||Look at My Contributions))]] 01:41, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::::True. But Heracross has terrible stats too. But one stat doesnt sink a pokemon, and when you look at his movepool and what attacks he learns to benefit it, along with his typing, he is incredible, near broken[[User:DCM|DCM]][[User talk:DCM|((Shut the **** up]][[Special:Contributions/DCM|Spy on My Edits))]]
::::::::Don't say true, it's not true. Garchomp's Special Defense is not horrible in the least, it's actually quite decent. Combined with 108 HP, 85 SD is very respectable. I made a very long summary of the overcentralizing aspects of Garchomp and it's not Uber because it has "horrible" special defense? Which you define as 85? I'd also like to add that you said SOME of its stats are horrible. Other than Special Defense and Special Attack (which it doesn't even need on its most broken set), which are horrible, none of its stats are below 95, so I don't see where you get "some of Garchomp's stats are horrible". It doesn't have a single stat that can be defined as horrible, and it isn't "near broken". It IS broken. Chocolate you cannot argue with my calculation, you are obviously battling on Wi-Fi where there are a lot more factors than there are on a battling simulator like Shoddy Battle, where these Pokemon are being tested at their full potential. [[user:Lulz|Lulz]] 24:13, 2 December 2008 (EST)

{{Indent}} I will never agree with Garchomp being Uber no matter what. [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]][[User talk:Chocolate|((Talk to Me]][[Special:Contributions/Chocolate||Look at My Contributions))]] 15:40, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
*Then you are not being objective and you shouldn't be editing a Wiki article. [[user:Lulz|Lulz]] 4:18, 18 December 2008 (EST)

== EV spreads ==

I'm editing out any mention of (exact) EV spreads since for the most part they are opinionative. For example, someone mentioned a 126/126 EV spread for Infernape's offenses saying that is the standard. It is not, and its only the standard with those who are inexperienced and believe that Infernape would benefit more from this spread when it really doesn't ( 126 Atk EVs doesn't OHKO a Blissey and 24 EVs gives a good enough shot). Besides, it sounds too much like we're telling people what to use, and people ''do'' tailorr EV spreads for their specific needs.--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 15:00, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually, 126 ATK EVs is enough to OHKO Blissey with Life Orb (any Infernape running 126 / 126 without Life Orb is foolish) and it is the most common Infernape in Wi-Fi Competitive Battling. I'm not saying put it back in there or anything, just pointing that out [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] 10:40, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

'''Salamence''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ボーマンダ''' ''Bohmander'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shelgon}} starting at [[level]] 50. It is the final form of {{p|Bagon}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Salamence are fully formed quadrupedal dragons, complete with newly grown wings.

====Gender differences====
====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
Salamence is an extremely vicious Pokémon. It is also arrogant about its victories by spouting intense flames into the air. This behavior may be explained due to the fact that it faced many hardships to get its wings to grow, and therefore, it is very proud of its achievement.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]
Salamence supposedly lives atop tall mountains.

==In the anime==
[[Image:J and Salamence.JPG|thumb|right|[[J]] and her Salamence]]
Salamence was first seen in the 6th Pokémon movie: [[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]. Butler used it against a wild {{p|Flygon}} that was helping to free {{p|Jirachi}} from him.

{{an|Silver}} used his Salamence to battle {{p|Moltres}} in ''[[H018|The Search for the Legend]]''.

[[Drake (Elite Four)|Drake]] of the [[Elite Four]] uses a Salamence in ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]''.

[[Team Rocket]] found a Salamence in some underground ruins when they were searching for {{p|Ho-Oh}} in ''[[AG177|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

A Salamence belonging to [[J]] appeared in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty]]''.

==In the manga==

==Trivia==
* Salamence is the only {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon to have {{a|Intimidate}} as its ability.
* Salamence has the second highest [[base stat]] average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being {{p|Slaking}}. However, it is tied with the four other [[pseudo-legendary|powerhouse evolutions]]. Salamence is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}}.
* Salamence shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Horsea}}, {{p|Dratini}}, and their evolutions. They are all known as Dragon Pokémon.
* Salamence is one of the only four Pokémon that can learn a [[HM]] move by leveling up in the same generation as it is a [[HM]].
* Salamence is one of the rare cases of a stat dropping by evolution, as {{p|Shelgon}}'s base {{stat|Defense}} stat of 100 drops to only 80.
* While Salamance cannot learn {{m|Iron Defense}} itself, it can be taught it as a Shelgon before [[evolution|evolving]]. It shares this trait with {{P|Beedrill}}, {{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Dustox}} and {{p|Beautifly}}.
*Salamence have belonged to more villains in the anime than heroes.
*According to [http://gallery.gtsplus.net/Salamence GTS Plus], Salamence is the most popular Pokémon.
===Origin===

:I don't even think anyone should even humor that kind of stupidity and ignorance to the ways of the game. Garchomp was extensively tested by players much better than you. If you're going to dispute the logic of Smogon, at least come up with an argument more effective than "it can be one-hit killed by Castform." The icing on the cake is that you're not even correct, considering it runs Yache Berry. [[user:Lulz|Lulz]] 10:43, 28 November 2008 (EST)

::And '''I''' actually tested it myself. The Garchomp '''did''' even have Yache Berry, and my Castform still OHKO'd it with Blizzard. If Garchomp can be OHKO'd by a NU even when it's holding a Yache Berry, there's no way it's Uber. [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]][[User talk:Chocolate|((Talk to Me]][[Special:Contributions/Chocolate||Look at My Contributions))]] 19:44, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

:::Once again, you are ignorant to the ways of the game. That is not a competitive situation. Castform will never realistically be able to kill Garchomp with Blizzard because it has 70 Speed and no defenses. Let's say I have a Garchomp out against something that can't do shit to anything to it, like a Blissey without Ice Beam (and yes, they are common, Flamethrower is often over Ice Beam). If you switch your Castform in, I will use Swords Dance and outrun/kill it with Earthquake. The only time Castform will EVER outrun Garchomp is with a Choice Scarf, in which case you will do 61.45% - 72.63% with Blizzard, factoring in Yache and a +SpA nature. The only time you'll ever have a shot at OHKOing a 4 HP/min SpD Garchomp with Blizzard is if you run Modest Choice Specs, which won't even do it 100% of the time and I will still outrun and kill you with Earthquake. Now, I'd also like to get into the fact that this isn't even how tiers work. Pokemon aren't rated for their sturdiness at all. It should be noted that Deoxys-A is an Uber even though it actually will die to virtually any attack with 50/20/20 defenses. This is because it outruns just about everything in OU save for Ninjask (it can even run Extremespeed for it) and it has amazing type coverage + 180 in both attacking stats. If your test, which consists of taking a faulty calculation out of context and throwing it out there, was the way Smogon tested for Uber status, Deoxys-A would be in OU. Even if Garchomp DID die to Castform Blizzard (it doesn't always even with specs, you clearly were fighting a Garchomp with crappy IVs/Nature/etc.), it still wouldn't be Uber because the reason for it being banned was that if it switched in on something that couldn't damage it, which is quite a few things, it was essentially guaranteed a kill because with a Swords Dance it could 2HKO anything in OU and nothing could reliably OHKO it through the Yache except for Choice Band Weavile who is risking getting killed by any one of Garchomp's attacks if it switches in on a Scarfer or Bander by mistake. Let's not even mention that it might be running SUBSTITUTE, in which case Weavile is completely screwed if it stays in. Your logic is incredibly faulty and if you continue editing Garchomp out of Ubers even after reading this, I can't imagine what anybody could say to convince you of anything at all. [[user:Lulz|Lulz]] 23:40, 28 November 2008 (EST)

::::::::Don't say true, it's not true. Garchomp's Special Defense is not horrible in the least, it's actually quite decent. Combined with 108 HP, 85 SD is very respectable. I made a very long summary of the overcentralizing aspects of Garchomp and it's not Uber because it has "horrible" special defense? Which you define as 85? I'd also like to add that you said SOME of its stats are horrible. Other than Special Defense and Special Attack (which it doesn't even need on its most broken set), which are horrible, none of its stats are below 95, so I don't see where you get "some of Garchomp's stats are horrible". It doesn't have a single stat that can be defined as horrible, and it isn't "near broken". It IS broken. Chocolate you cannot argue with my calculation, you are obviously battling on Wi-Fi where there are a lot more factors than there are on a battling simulator like Shoddy Battle, where these Pokemon are being tested at their full potential.

== EV spreads ==

I'm editing out any mention of (exact) EV spreads since for the most part they are opinionative. For example, someone mentioned a 126/126 EV spread for Infernape's offenses saying that is the standard. It is not, and its only the standard with those who are inexperienced and believe that Infernape would benefit more from this spread when it really doesn't ( 126 Atk EVs doesn't OHKO a Blissey and 24 EVs gives a good enough shot). Besides, it sounds too much like we're telling people what to use, and people ''do'' tailorr EV spreads for their specific needs.--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 15:00, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually, 126 ATK EVs is enough to OHKO Blissey with Life Orb (any Infernape running 126 / 126 without Life Orb is foolish) and it is the most common Infernape in Wi-Fi Competitive Battling. I'm not saying put it back in there or anything, just pointing that out [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] 10:40, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

::And '''I''' actually tested it myself. The Garchomp '''did''' even have Yache Berry, and my Castform still OHKO'd it with Blizzard.

[[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]][[User talk:Chocolate|((Talk to Me]][[Special:Contributions/Chocolate||Look at My Contributions))]] 19:44, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

:::Once again, you are ignorant to the ways of the game. That is not a competitive situation. Castform will never realistically be able to kill Garchomp with Blizzard because it has 70 Speed and no defenses. Let's say I have a Garchomp out against something that can't do shit to anything to it, like a Blissey without Ice Beam (and yes, they are common, Flamethrower is often over Ice Beam). If you switch your Castform in, I will use Swords Dance and outrun/kill it with Earthquake. The only time Castform will EVER outrun Garchomp is with a Choice Scarf, in which case you will do 61.45% - 72.63% with Blizzard, factoring in Yache and a +SpA nature. The only time you'll ever have a shot at OHKOing a 4 HP/min SpD Garchomp with Blizzard is if you run Modest Choice Specs, which won't even do it 100% of the time and I will still outrun and kill you with Earthquake. Now, I'd also like to get into the fact that this isn't even how tiers work. Pokemon aren't rated for their sturdiness at all. It should be noted that Deoxys-A is an Uber even though it actually will die to virtually any attack with 50/20/20 defenses. This is because it outruns just about everything in OU save for Ninjask (it can even run Extremespeed for it) and it has amazing type coverage + 180 in both attacking stats. If your test, which consists of taking a faulty calculation out of context and throwing it out there, was the way Smogon tested for Uber status, Deoxys-A would be in OU. Even if Garchomp DID die to Castform Blizzard (it doesn't always even with specs, you clearly were fighting a Garchomp with crappy IVs/Nature/etc.), it still wouldn't be Uber because the reason for it being banned was that if it switched in on something that couldn't damage it, which is quite a few things, it was essentially guaranteed a kill because with a Swords Dance it could 2HKO anything in OU and nothing could reliably OHKO it through the Yache except for Choice Band Weavile who is risking getting killed by any one of Garchomp's attacks if it switches in on a Scarfer or Bander by mistake. Let's not even mention that it might be running SUBSTITUTE, in which case Weavile is completely screwed if it stays in. Your logic is incredibly faulty and if you continue editing Garchomp out of Ubers even after reading this, I can't imagine what anybody could say to convince you of anything at all.

I'd also like to add that you said SOME of its stats are horrible. Other than Special Defense and Special Attack (which it doesn't even need on its most broken set), which are horrible, none of its stats are below 95, so I don't see where you get "some of Garchomp's stats are horrible". It doesn't have a single stat that can be defined as horrible. [[user:Lulz|Lulz]] 24:13, 2 December 2008 (EST)

== EV spreads ==

I'm editing out any mention of (exact) EV spreads since for the most part they are opinionative. For example, someone mentioned a 126/126 EV spread for Infernape's offenses saying that is the standard. It is not, and its only the standard with those who are inexperienced and believe that Infernape would benefit more from this spread when it really doesn't ( 126 Atk EVs doesn't OHKO a Blissey and 24 EVs gives a good enough shot). Besides, it sounds too much like we're telling people what to use, and people ''do'' tailorr EV spreads for their specific needs.--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 15:00, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually, 126 ATK EVs is enough to OHKO Blissey with Life Orb (any Infernape running 126 / 126 without Life Orb is foolish) and it is the most common Infernape in Wi-Fi Competitive Battling. I'm not saying put it back in there or anything, just pointing that out [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] 10:40, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

:::Once again, you are ignorant to the ways of the game. That is not a competitive situation. Castform will never realistically be able to kill Garchomp with Blizzard because it has 70 Speed and no defenses. Let's say I have a Garchomp out against something that can't do shit to anything to it, like a Blissey without Ice Beam (and yes, they are common, Flamethrower is often over Ice Beam). If you switch your Castform in, I will use Swords Dance and outrun/kill it with Earthquake. The only time Castform will EVER outrun Garchomp is with a Choice Scarf, in which case you will do 61.45% - 72.63% with Blizzard, factoring in Yache and a +SpA nature. The only time you'll ever have a shot at OHKOing a 4 HP/min SpD Garchomp with Blizzard is if you run Modest Choice Specs, which won't even do it 100% of the time and I will still outrun and kill you with Earthquake. Now, I'd also like to get into the fact that this isn't even how tiers work. Pokemon aren't rated for their sturdiness at all. It should be noted that Deoxys-A is an Uber even though it actually will die to virtually any attack with 50/20/20 defenses. This is because it outruns just about everything in OU save for Ninjask (it can even run Extremespeed for it) and it has amazing type coverage + 180 in both attacking stats. If your test, which consists of taking a faulty calculation out of context and throwing it out there, was the way Smogon tested for Uber status, Deoxys-A would be in OU. Even if Garchomp DID die to Castform Blizzard (it doesn't always even with specs, you clearly were fighting a Garchomp with crappy IVs/Nature/etc.), it still wouldn't be Uber because the reason for it being banned was that if it switched in on something that couldn't damage it, which is quite a few things, it was essentially guaranteed a kill because with a Swords Dance it could 2HKO anything in OU and nothing could reliably OHKO it through the Yache except for Choice Band Weavile who is risking getting killed by any one of Garchomp's attacks if it switches in on a Scarfer or Bander by mistake. Let's not even mention that it might be running SUBSTITUTE, in which case Weavile is completely screwed if it stays in. Your logic is incredibly faulty and if you continue editing Garchomp out of Ubers even after reading this, I can't imagine what anybody could say to convince you of anything at all.

::::::::Don't say true, it's not true. Garchomp's {{Stats|Special Defense}} is actually quite high. Comebined with 108 HP, 80 SD is very respectable. I made a very long summary of the overcentralizing aspect of Garchomp and it's not Uber because it has "horrible" special defense? Which you define as 80? I'd also like to add that you said SOME of its stats are horrible. Other than Special Defense, which is not horrible, none of its stats are below 95, so I don't see where you get "some of Garchomp's stats are horrible".

== EV spreads ==

I'm editing out any mention of (exact) EV spreads since for the most part they are opinionative. For example, someone mentioned a 126/126 EV spread for Infernape's offenses saying that is the standard. It is not, and its only the standard with those who are inexperienced and believe that Infernape would benefit more from this spread when it really doesn't ( 126 Atk EVs doesn't OHKO a Blissey and 24 EVs gives a good enough shot). Besides, it sounds too much like we're telling people what to use, and people ''do'' tailorr EV spreads for their specific needs.--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 15:00, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually, 126 ATK EVs is enough to OHKO Blissey with Life Orb (any Infernape running 126 / 126 without Life Orb is foolish) and it is the most common Infernape in Wi-Fi Competitive Battling. I'm not saying put it back in there or anything, just pointing that out [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] 10:40, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Fighting (type)

2008-08-19T08:10:20Z

Lulz:

{{ElementalTypes}}
{{TypeNotice|Fighting|かくとう|Kakutō}}
Notable trainers that specialize in the Fighting-type include [[Bruno]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Elite Four]], [[Chuck]] of [[Cianwood City]], [[Brawly]] of [[Dewford Town]], and [[Maylene]] of [[Veilstone City]]. The [[Fighting Dojo]] of [[Saffron City]] is also home to several trainers of Fighting-type Pokémon, although it is not an official gym.

==Statistical averages==
{{BaseStats|
HP=67 |
Attack=93 |
Defense=64 |
SpAtk=51 |
SpDef=70 |
Speed=64 }}

==Battle properties==
Fighting-type moves:
* Are super effective against: {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Normal}}, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Steel}}
* Are not very effective against: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Poison}}, {{t|Psychic}}
* Have no effect against: {{t|Ghost}}

Fighting-type Pokémon:
* Resist: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Rock}}
* Are weak to: {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Psychic}}
* Have immunity to: None

''Note:'' Although Fighting-type attacks normally have no effect on Ghost-type Pokémon, the moves {{m|Foresight}} and {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, as well as the ability {{a|Scrappy}}, allow both Normal-type and Fighting-type moves to affect Ghost-type Pokémon.

==Characteristics==
The Fighting-type is often considered the best type in the game as of the fourth generation. In the past, the type was not as effective thanks to the power of the {{p|Psychic}}-types, but now their useful resistances and vast type coverage allow many Fighting-types to sweep freely.

Defensively, the Fighting-type is rather strong. While many Fighting-types have below average defenses, resistances to Dark and Rock are key. In addition, Psychic and Flying are not very common offensive types.

Offensively, the Fighting-type is very powerful. It hits 5 different types for Super Effective damage, more than any other type in the game, and tied with the Ground-type. It deals super effective damage to Rock and Steel, types which generally have high Defense, and is the only type super effective against Normal. It is also one of the two types super effective against Dark. This is slightly balanced out by the fact that Ghosts are immune to Fighting attacks without the aide of Foresight/Odor Sleuth or the Scrappy ability. For a while there were very few powerful Fighting-type moves, but with the introduction of {{m|Close Combat}}, most teams must prepare at least one counter to powerful Fighting-type hitters, such as {{p|Heracross}}, in order to stand a chance at victory.

==Trivia==
* If it weren't for the addition of Aura Sphere, Focus Blast and Vacuum Wave in Generation IV, Fighting-type moves would be all Physical.
* With the exception of {{p|Arceus}} holding a [[Fist Plate]], there has yet to be a Fighting-type [[legendary Pokémon]].
* The Fighting-type is as of [[Generation IV]] the only type that has not been paired with {{t|Flying}}.
* All of the [[legendary golems]], including {{p|Regigigas}}, are weak to Fighting moves.
* In only Generation I, {{m|Karate Chop}} was a Normal-type move.

Lulz:

Its resistance to Dark is impossibly useful in dealing with Ttars that decide to use Crunch, and the ilk.

Can we remove the opinion from all of thsoe segments? They don't really state too much competitive truth, sometimes...[[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 06:43, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

==Question==

Generic question regarding the organization of all the type pages. Is there an appreciable difference between dual-types with a type (Fighting) as Type 2 or Fighting as Type 1? For example, Medicham is listed as a Fighting/Psychic type while Gallade is a Psychic/Fighting type. Beyond the order in which their types are listed in their summaries, is there a difference? [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 01:22, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

==Edited==

I'm sorry, but who wrote that Fighting is weak defensively? That's very untrue, and whoever wrote it clearly has very little knowledge of the game. I edited this out. [[User:Lulz|Lulz]] 16:33, 26 June 2008 (EST)

{{TypeNotice|Fighting|かくとう|Kakutō}}
Notable trainers that specialize in the Fighting-type include [[Bruno]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Elite Four]], [[Chuck]] of [[Cianwood City]], [[Brawly]] of [[Dewford Town]], and [[Maylene]] of [[Veilstone City]]. The [[Fighting Dojo]] of [[Saffron City]] is also home to several trainers of Fighting-type Pokémon, although it is not an official gym.

==Statistical averages==
{{BaseStats|
HP=67 |
Attack=93 |
Defense=64 |
SpAtk=51 |
SpDef=70 |
Speed=64 }}

==Battle properties==
Fighting-type moves:
* Are super effective against: {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Normal}}, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Steel}}
* Are not very effective against: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Poison}}, {{t|Psychic}}
* Have no effect against: {{t|Ghost}}

Fighting-type Pokémon:
* Resist: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Rock}}
* Are weak to: {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Psychic}}
* Have immunity to: None

''Note:'' Although Fighting-type attacks normally have no effect on Ghost-type Pokémon, the moves {{m|Foresight}} and {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, as well as the ability {{a|Scrappy}}, allow both Normal-type and Fighting-type moves to affect Ghost-type Pokémon.

==Characteristics==
Defensively, the Fighting-type is rather strong. While many Fighting-types have below average defenses, resistances to Dark and Rock are key. In addition, Psychic and Flying are not very common offensive types.

Offensively, the Fighting-type is also very useful. It hits 5 different types for Super Effective damage, more than any other type in the game, and tied with the Ground-type. It deals super effective damage to Rock and Steel, types which generally have high Defense, and is the only type super effective against Normal. It is also one of the two types super effective against Dark. This is slightly balanced out by the fact that Ghosts are immune to Fighting attacks without the aide of Foresight/Odor Sleuth or the Scrappy ability.

'''Garchomp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ガブリアス''' ''Gablias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} Pokémon. Being such a powerful Pokémon, it is deemed [[pseudo-legendary]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Garchomp appears to be a blue dragon crossed with a hammerhead shark. On each limb are two spikes, their use unknown, with a red belly with one yellow triangle near its pelvis. On each of its forelegs are a single, sharp claw, with two dorsal fin-like "wings" that it flies with. On the sides of its head are two extensions from a hammerhead shark, and resemble plane turbines.

====Gender differences====
The female has a full dorsal fin, while the male's has a triangular cut in it, like its pre-evolutions.

====Special abilities====
Though Garchomp is not able to learn the move {{M|Fly}}, and cannot possess {{A|Levitate}} it can still fly at an incredible speed to catch its prey.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
It may live in warm caves, like Gible.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Garchomp-anime.jpg|thumb|[[Cynthia's Garchomp]]]]
[[Cynthia]]'s {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} made its debut appearance in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Cynthia]]'s signature Pokémon like in the games and anime was a Garchomp.

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

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=dragon
|gen=4
|diamonddex=When it folds up its body and extends its wings, it looks like a jet plane. It flies at sonic speed.
|pearldex=It flies at speeds equal to a jet fighter plane. It never allows its prey to escape.

==Trivia==
*Because of its 600 base stat total, a combination of high Speed/Attack and above-average defenses and a 20% evasion boost in sandstorms thanks to Sand Veil, many believe Garchomp is unbalanced and is in the Uber tier. However it is still considered OU on most tier lists, largely thanks to its x4 Ice weakness.
*Garchomp bears the same star-shaped mark as {{p|Sharpedo}}.
*Garchomp has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being Slaking. However, it is tied with the four other powerhouse evolutions. Garchomp is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.
*Though its Pokédex entries make note of its astounding flying abilities, Garchomp cannot learn {{m|Fly}}. Similarly, though known as the Mach Pokémon, it cannot learn {{m|Mach Punch}} or any other variation of {{m|Quick Attack}}, including Quick Attack itself, in general.
===Origin===
Appearance-wise, Garchomp seems like a cross between a {{wp|European dragon}} and a {{wp|hammerhead shark}}. It may have the genuine apperance of a land shark. It also seems to have the appearence of a {{wp|jet}}
====Name origin====
Its English name clearly comes from ''chomp''. The Japanese name may come from がぶがぶ ''gabugabu'', the sound of gobbling or gulping down, がぶりと ''gaburito'', bite or chew, or がぶりと噛み付く ''gaburitokamitsuku'', sink one's teeth into, and アース ''āsu'', {{wp|Soil|earth}}.

Its German name, Knakrack, comes from {{tt|knackig|crackling}} and {{tt|Krach|crack}}. Its French name, Carchacrok, comes from ''Carcharodon'', scientific name of sharks, and ''{{tt|croquer|to bite}}''.

'''Infernape''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴウカザル''' ''Goukazaru'') is a dual-typed {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} Pokémon.

Infernape comes with the [[ability]] {{a|Blaze}}, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Infernape evolves from {{p|Monferno}} at level 36. It is the final form of {{p|Chimchar}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Its body is a brownish-red color and it has a large flame on its head. The tail flame it had as a Monferno has disappeared. Infernape wears a gold chest ring in place of a chest plate. It also has gold shoulder pads, knee pads and wrist bands. The blue and red markings it had on its forehead as a Monferno have now changed to a deep blood-red color. Its hands, feet, and inner ears are blue. It uses its hands and feet to pull off special fighting attacks. It is most competitive when it comes to speed. It is the shortest fully-evolved main series starter Pokémon to date, being only three feet and eleven inches tall.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
Being powerful fighters, Infernape test their fighting abilities against each other. An Infernape's fighting spirit is determined by the size of the flame on its head.

===Habitat===
Infernape prefer to live in trees and heavily forested grassland. They often live in groups, with the male that has the biggest flame on their head being the leader.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Infernape Movie10.JPG|250px|thumb|right|[[Brock's Croagunk]] battling against [[Maki]]'s Infernape]]
Infernape made its first appearance in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''. It battled with [[Brock's Croagunk]].

==Trivia==
*On a height basis, Infernape is the shortest final form of a [[starter Pokémon]] standing at only 3 feet and 11 inches (1.2 meters).
*Chimchar and Monferno have a flame on their tail, but Infernape has the flame on its head instead.
*Infernape is the only final form [[Sinnoh]] [[starter Pokémon]] not to have a unique [[Elemental types|type combination]].
*Infernape has the second-highest Speed of the starters (second only to {{p|Sceptile}}). Because of this, some consider Infernape to be a stronger version of {{p|Blaziken}}. However, it does have a lower {{stat|Attack}} base stat than Blaziken.
*Infernape shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Charmeleon}} and {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Flareon}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
*Infernape is one of only two starters in the OU metagame tier. It shares this title with ((p|Swampert)).

===Origin===
Infernape is based on a {{wp|monkey}}. It is also possible that he is based on {{wp|Sun Wukong}}, the Chinese mythical "Monkey King". The gold elements in his design seem to indicate this, and his name can also be linked to Japanese interpretations of the character (e.g. Son '''Goku'''). Its appearance is similar to the Colobus Monkeys of Africa.

====Name origin====
Goukazaru is a combination of 業火 ''gōka'', hellfire or inferno, and 猿 ''saru'', ape. Infernape is a combination of "inferno" and "ape". Its German name, Panferno, comes from {{tt|Schimpanse|chimpanzee}} and ''inferno''. Its French name, Simiabraz, comes from ''simia'', latin for monkey, and ''braise'', ember.

'''Breloom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キノガッサ''' ''Kinogassa'') is a {{2t|Grass|Fighting}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
In sharp contrast to the diminutive Shroomish, Breloom sports an agile shape, similar to a kangaroo or a theropod dinosaur. It has a mushroom-like "cap" on its head and seed clusters on the end of its tail. Its arms appear to be short and off little use, but they can stretch surprisingly far to deliver punches.
===Gender differences===
None.

===Special abilities===
In addition to storing up spores that causes several status aliments, they also physically very strong, much like most Fighting-types.

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]

==Diet==
{{main|Pokémon food}}

=In the anime=
[[Image:Kenny's Breloom.jpg|right|thumb|{{si|Kenny}}'s Breloom]]
Breloom's first appearance was a cameo in the first Advanced Generation movie, ''[[Jirachi: Wishmaker]]''. This Mushroom Pokémon was one of the residents of Forina, {{an|Jirachi|Jirachi's}} home.
[[Image:Breloom anime.jpg|left|thumb|A group of Breloom from ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]''.]]
The first major role Breloom had was in ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]''. {{Ash}} and {{AP|friends}} were being attacked by Breloom that had evolved from Shroomish that were mad at them for stealing their food. {{an|May}}'s newly evolved [[May's Blaziken|Combusken]] defeated the Breloom and saved the day.

Breloom had another cameo in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' as a Pokémon belonging to [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]].

{{si|Kenny}} has a Breloom that appeared in [[DP060]] and [[DP061]].

==Trivia==
* Though an [[alternate coloration|alternate colored]] Breloom that was once shown in the anime was dark blue with a green lower neck, the real shiny form of Breloom is red.
* Breloom is considered one of the most fearsome Pokémon in competitive play because of its imposing Attack stat and its reliable sleep-inducing move. For these reasons, it is very commonly used.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[Elemental types|type]] combination as Breloom.

===Origin===
Breloom is based on a mushroom.

====Name origin====
Breloom's name may be a combination of ''{{wp|umbrella}}'' and ''{{wp|mushroom}}''. Its Japanese name is likely a combination of 茸 ''kinoko'', mushrooms, and 傘 ''kasa'', umbrella.

'''Tyranitar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: バンギラス ''Bangiras'') is a {{2t|Rock|Dark}}-type Pokémon. It is also a [[Pseudo-legendary]].

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Tyranitar is a large, green, reptilian Pokémon. Tyranitar appears to have spikes near the end of its tail with the tip of the tail itself being segmented. Tyranitar's feet and hands each have three claws on them. Tyranitar has a blue rhombus on its chest and has two rows of green spikes running down its back. There are black, triangular holes on Tyranitar's knees, chest and back.
===Gender differences===
None.

===Special abilities===
Like some {{T|Dragon}} Pokémon, Tyranitar is capable of learning various elemental attacks, including {{M|Surf}}. Like almost all fully-evolved Pokémon, Tyranitar can learn {{M|Hyper Beam}} or {{M|Giga Impact}}.

==Behavior==
Because of its Dark sub-type, Tyranitar are insolent and selfishly uncaring towards others. They are extremely strong, and their thick, rocky hides give them a good resistance. Because of this, they are always looking forward for a battle, and will not flinch at anything. If enraged, Tyranitar sets off outstanding earthquakes that can completely change the entire landscape, often representing a major headache for cartographers causing them to redraw maps.

==Habitat==
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Tyranitar are mercifully rare in the wild. They normally live in the mountains.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
Tyranitar first appeared in ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''. [[Vicious's Tyranitar|It]] was captured in a Dark Ball and used by [[Vicious]].

When [[Ash]] and company entered the mind of [[Ash's Larvitar]] during ''[[EP263|Address Unown]]'', they saw a vision of Larvitar being separated from its Tyranitar mother. That Tyranitar was seen during [[EP264|the following episode]].

A Pupitar belonging to a Pokémon Poacher evolved into Tyranitar in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]''.

In [[DP072]], a Tyranitar was among the Pokémon used to attack {{an|Dawn}}, [[Brock]], [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Solana]].

=In the manga=
==In the Pokémon Special manga==
Prior to the events of {{PSV|8}}, {{Special|Silver}} was given a {{p|Pupitar}} from [[Lance]]. It evolved into Tyranitar prior to Silver's showdown with {{Special|Gold}} in {{PSV|9}}. Silver remarked that Tyranitar's level was so high that "even I can't control it", likely referencing the tendency for traded Pokémon to disobey. Silver eventually returned Tyranitar to Lance, deeming himself still unsuitable to own it.

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

=Game data=
==NPC appearances==
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Tyranitar is a member of [[Team A.C.T.]]
* [[Pokémon Ranger]]: [[Go-Rock Quads|Billy]] uses a Tyranitar in his attempts to stop the player.

=Trivia=
* Tyranitar has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being Slaking. However, it is tied with the four other powerhouse evolutions. Tyranitar is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.
* Although Tyranitar has a base stat total of 600, it technically has more because of the Special Defense boost given by Sand Stream.
* Tyranitar is the only Pokémon that is not a {{type2|Ground}} to learn {{m|Earthquake}} by leveling up. This may be because it evolves from a Pokémon that is part Ground.
* Tyranitar and its [[Evolve|evolutionary line]] are amongst the few Pokémon to be placed behind a [[Legendary Pokémon]] in a regional [[Pokédex]].
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] combination as Tyranitar.
* Of all the evolved Pokémon that evolve naturally, Tyranitar evolves to its final form later than any other Pokémon, at level 55. It shares this trait with {{p|Dragonite}}.
==Origin==
Its penchant for shattering the countryside is similar to that of the [[wp:Tarasque|Tarasque]]. It also vaguely resembles [[wp:Godzilla|Godzilla]].
===Name origin===
Tyranitar's name is based on ''tyrannize'', to violently antagonize. It may also be based on ''{{wp|tyrannosaurus rex}}'', a carnivorous dinosaur that supposedly behaved violently.

'''Tyranitar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: バンギラス ''Bangiras'') is a {{2t|Rock|Dark}}-type Pokémon. It is also a [[Pseudo-legendary]].

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Tyranitar is a large, green, reptilian Pokémon. Tyranitar appears to have spikes near the end of its tail with the tip of the tail itself being segmented. Tyranitar's feet and hands each have three claws on them. Tyranitar has a blue rhombus on its chest and has two rows of green spikes running down its back. There are black, triangular holes on Tyranitar's knees, chest and back.
===Gender differences===
None.

===Special abilities===
Like some {{T|Dragon}} Pokémon, Tyranitar is capable of learning various elemental attacks, including {{M|Surf}}. Like almost all fully-evolved Pokémon, Tyranitar can learn {{M|Hyper Beam}} or {{M|Giga Impact}}.

==Behavior==
Because of its Dark sub-type, Tyranitar are insolent and selfishly uncaring towards others. They are extremely strong, and their thick, rocky hides give them a good resistance. Because of this, they are always looking forward for a battle, and will not flinch at anything. If enraged, Tyranitar sets off outstanding earthquakes that can completely change the entire landscape, often representing a major headache for cartographers causing them to redraw maps.

==Habitat==
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Tyranitar are mercifully rare in the wild. They normally live in the mountains.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
Tyranitar first appeared in ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''. [[Vicious's Tyranitar|It]] was captured in a Dark Ball and used by [[Vicious]].

When [[Ash]] and company entered the mind of [[Ash's Larvitar]] during ''[[EP263|Address Unown]]'', they saw a vision of Larvitar being separated from its Tyranitar mother. That Tyranitar was seen during [[EP264|the following episode]].

A Pupitar belonging to a Pokémon Poacher evolved into Tyranitar in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]''.

In [[DP072]], a Tyranitar was among the Pokémon used to attack {{an|Dawn}}, [[Brock]], [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Solana]].

=In the manga=
==In the Pokémon Special manga==
Prior to the events of {{PSV|8}}, {{Special|Silver}} was given a {{p|Pupitar}} from [[Lance]]. It evolved into Tyranitar prior to Silver's showdown with {{Special|Gold}} in {{PSV|9}}. Silver remarked that Tyranitar's level was so high that "even I can't control it", likely referencing the tendency for traded Pokémon to disobey. Silver eventually returned Tyranitar to Lance, deeming himself still unsuitable to own it.

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

=Game data=
==NPC appearances==
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Tyranitar is a member of [[Team A.C.T.]]
* [[Pokémon Ranger]]: [[Go-Rock Quads|Billy]] uses a Tyranitar in his attempts to stop the player.

=Trivia=
* Tyranitar has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being Slaking. However, it is tied with the four other powerhouse evolutions. Tyranitar is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.
* Although Tyranitar has a base stat total of 600, it technically has more because of the Special Defense boost given by Sandstream.
* Tyranitar is the only Pokémon that is not a {{type2|Ground}} to learn {{m|Earthquake}} by leveling up. This may be because it evolves from a Pokémon that is part Ground.
* Tyranitar and its [[Evolve|evolutionary line]] are amongst the few Pokémon to be placed behind a [[Legendary Pokémon]] in a regional [[Pokédex]].
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] combination as Tyranitar.
* Of all the evolved Pokémon that evolve naturally, Tyranitar evolves to its final form later than any other Pokémon, at level 55. It shares this trait with {{p|Dragonite}}.
==Origin==
Its penchant for shattering the countryside is similar to that of the [[wp:Tarasque|Tarasque]]. It also vaguely resembles [[wp:Godzilla|Godzilla]].
===Name origin===
Tyranitar's name is based on ''tyrannize'', to violently antagonize. It may also be based on ''{{wp|tyrannosaurus rex}}'', a carnivorous dinosaur that supposedly behaved violently.

Breloom's first appearance was a cameo in the first Advanced Generation movie, ''[[Jirachi: Wishmaker]]''. This Mushroom Pokémon was one of the residents of Forina, {{an|Jirachi|Jirachi's}} home.
[[Image:Breloom anime.jpg|left|thumb|A group of Breloom from ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]''.]]
The first major role Breloom had was in ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]''. {{Ash}} and {{AP|friends}} were being attacked by Breloom that had evolved from Shroomish that were mad at them for stealing their food. {{an|May}}'s newly evolved [[May's Blaziken|Combusken]] defeated the Breloom and saved the day.

Breloom had another cameo in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' as a Pokémon belonging to [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]].

{{Si|Kenny}} has a Breloom that appeared in [[DP060]] and [[DP061]].

=Trivia=
* Though an [[alternate coloration|alternate colored]] Breloom that was once shown in the anime was dark blue with a green lower neck, the real shiny form of Breloom is red.
* Breloom is considered one of the most fearsome Pokémon in competitive play because of his imposing Attack stat and his reliable sleep-inducing move. For these reasons, it is very commonly used.
==Origin==
Breloom is based on a mushroom. It is also possible that the ''[[wp:Macropodidae|macropodidae]]'' and/or ''[[wp:Dromaeosaurid|dromaeosaurids]]'' helped serve as a basis for this Pokémon.

===Name origin===
Breloom's name may be a combination of ''[[wp:umbrella|umbrella]]'' and ''[[wp:mushroom|mushroom]]''. Its Japanese name is likely a combination of 茸 ''kinoko'', mushrooms, and 傘 ''kasa'', umbrella.

=Trivia=
* Though an [[alternate coloration|alternate colored]] Breloom that was once shown in the anime was dark blue with a green lower neck, the real shiny form of Breloom is red.
* Breloom is considered one of the most fearsome Pokémon in the metagame because of his imposing Attack stat and his reliable sleep-inducing move. For these reasons, he is very commonly used.
==Origin==
Breloom is based on a mushroom. It is also possible that the ''[[wp:Macropodidae|macropodidae]]'' and/or ''[[wp:Dromaeosaurid|dromaeosaurids]]'' helped serve as a basis for this Pokémon.

===Name origin===
Breloom's name may be a combination of ''[[wp:umbrella|umbrella]]'' and ''[[wp:mushroom|mushroom]]''. Its Japanese name is likely a combination of 茸 ''kinoko'', mushrooms, and 傘 ''kasa'', umbrella.

'''Breloom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: キノガッサ ''Kinogassa'') is a {{2t|Grass|Fighting}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
In sharp contrast to the diminutive Shroomish, Breloom sports an agile shape, similar to a kangaroo or a theropod dinosaur. It has a mushroom-like "cap" on its head and seed clusters on the end of its tail. Its arms appear to be short and off little use, but they can stretch surprisingly far to deliver punches.
===Gender differences===
None.

===Special abilities===
In addition to storing up spores that causes several status aliments, they also physically very strong, much like most Fighting-types.

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
[[Image:Kenny's Breloom.jpg|right|thumb|{{Si|Kenny}}'s Breloom]]
Breloom's first appearance was a cameo in the first Advanced Generation movie, ''[[Jirachi: Wishmaker]]''. This Mushroom Pokémon was one of the residents of Forina, {{an|Jirachi|Jirachi's}} home.
[[Image:Breloom anime.jpg|left|thumb|A group of Breloom from ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]''.]]
The first major role Breloom had was in ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]''. {{Ash}} and {{AP|friends}} were being attacked by Breloom that had evolved from Shroomish that were mad at them for stealing their food. {{an|May}}'s newly evolved [[May's Blaziken|Combusken]] defeated the Breloom and saved the day.

Breloom had another cameo in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' as a Pokémon belonging to [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]].

{{Si|Kenny}} has a Breloom that appeared in [[DP060]] and [[DP061]].

==Quotes==
Before battle: 
''"One look at you tells me many things about you. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. That's enough talking. Let's get on with why you're here. I, Cynthia, accept your challenge as the Pokémon League Champion! There won't be any letup from me!"''

OR

''"Have you been keeping well? Thank you for Mt. Coronet. I'm truly grateful. Together, you and your pokemon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can fel it emanating from you. But that's enough talk. Let's get on with why you're here. As the Pokémon League Champion, I accept your challenge!"''

During battle: 
''"I can't remember the last time I was put in a corner like this!"''

''"I won't let this end yet! This match is too fun to let it end this easily!"''

When defeated: 
''"Just a few moments ago, you were the most powerful challenger. And just now, you became the most powerful of all the Trainers. You are now our newest Champion!''

=Trivia=
Cynthia is the first female NPC champion, and the first NPC champion since [[Blue (game)|Blue]] to not have a type theme.

'''Saturn''' makes part of [[Team Galactic]]'s Commander trio.

=In the games=
He is seen leading the efforts of Team Galactic near [[Pastoria City]], at [[Lake Valor]]. He seems to be the loose cannon among the Commanders, as he engages the player within Team Galactic's hideout in [[Veilstone City]], regardless of Cyrus's orders to let him or her leave safely.

After the events at the [[Spear Pillar]] (which Saturn was not present for), he can be found in the Galactic Veilstone Building, contemplating what direction to take Team Galactic in after [[Cyrus]] has disappeared.

'''Saturn''' makes part of [[Team Galactic]]'s Commander trio.

=In the games=
He is seen leading the efforts of Team Galactic near [[Pastoria City]], at [[Lake Valor]]. He seems to be the loose cannon among the Commanders, as he engages the player within Team Galactic's hideout in [[Veilstone City]], regardless of Cyrus's orders to let him or her leave safely.

After the events at the [[Spear Pillar]] (which Saturn was not present for), he can be found in the Galactic Veilstone Building, contemplating what direction to take Team Galactic in after [[Cyrus]] has disappeared.

Drink

2007-08-28T20:13:04Z

Lulz: /* Image:MoomooMilkSprite.png MooMoo Milk */

A '''drink''' is a type of [[item]] from the [[Pokémon games]]. Most can be used during or out of [[Pokémon battle|battle]] to restore a [[Pokémon]]'s [[Stat#Hit Points|HP]].

Drinks are found in a variety of special places. The main three, Fresh Water, Soda Pop, and Lemonade, can be bought from vending machines atop the [[Celadon Department Store]], [[Goldenrod Department Store]], [[Lilycove Department Store]], and [[Veilstone Department Store]], as well as the vending machines in [[The Under]] ([[Pokémon Colosseum]] only) and [[Pyrite Town]] ([[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] only), and on [[Boon Island|Two Island]] after certain requirements are met.

==Types of drink==
====[[Image:FreshWaterSprite.png]] Fresh Water====
A refreshing drink which restores 50 HP. Costs [[Image:Pokébuck sign.gif]]200, and can be found at all vending machines and at the store on Two Island.

Atop the Celadon Department Store, there is a thirsty girl who will give away a TM in exchange for a drink from the vending machines. In [[Generation I]], she will give away a [[TM13]] ({{m|Ice Beam}}) for a Fresh Water, and in [[Generation III]], she will give a [[TM16]] ({{m|Light Screen}}).

====[[Image:SodaPopSprite.png]] Soda Pop====
A fizzy drink which restores 60 HP. Costs [[Image:Pokébuck sign.gif]]300, and can be found at all vending machines, on Two Island after rescuing [[Lostelle]] on [[Kin Island|Three Island]], and at the Seashore House south of [[Slateport City]].

Atop the Celadon Department Store, there is a thirsty girl who will give out a TM in exchange for a drink from the vending machines. In [[Generation I]], she will give a [[TM48]] ({{m|Rock Slide}}) for a Soda Pop, and in [[Generation III]], she will give a [[TM20]] ({{m|Safeguard}}).

====[[Image:LemonadeSprite.png]] Lemonade====
A sweet drink which restores 80 HP. Costs [[Image:Pokébuck sign.gif]]350, and can be found at all vending machines, on Two Island after acquiring the National [[Pokédex]], and at the [[Mt. Moon]] souvenir shop in [[Generation II]].

Atop the Celadon Department Store, there is a thirsty girl who will give away a TM in exchange for a drink from the vending machines. In [[Generation I]], she will give [[TM49]] ({{m|Tri Attack}}) for a Fresh Water, and in [[Generation III]], she will give [[TM33]] ({{m|Reflect}}).

On [[Chrono Island|Five Island]], at the [[Memorial Pillar]], a trainer can be found mourning his deceased {{p|Onix}}, who loved Lemonade. If the player sets one on the memorial to honor the Onix, its owner will reward him or her with {{TM|42|Facade}}.

====[[Image:MoomooMilkSprite.png]] MooMoo Milk====
A nutritious drink which restores 100 HP. Costs [[Image:Pokébuck sign.gif]]500, and can be bought at the [[MooMoo Farm]] on [[Route 39]], on Two Island after acquiring the National [[Pokédex]], in the vending machine in Pyrite Town, and in the Cafe Cabin on [[Route 210]]. In [[Pokémon Emerald|
Emerald]], it is also sometimes held by {{p|Miltank}} found in the [[Safari Zone]].

====[[Image:BerryJuiceSprite.png]] Berry Juice====
A strange drink which restores 20 HP. This drink must be made by attaching a plain [[Berries|Berry]] ([[Generation II]]) or an {{b|Oran}} ([[Generation III]]) to a {{p|Shuckle}}. Over time, the berry will become Berry Juice.

====[[Image:TeaSprite.png]] Tea====
A hot drink which is good for quenching thirst. In the [[Generation I]] games, a Fresh Water, Soda Pop, or Lemonade has to be given to the thirsty guards who will not allow the main character to enter [[Saffron City]]. However, in [[Generation III]], the guards must drink this key item instead. It can be found in the [[Celadon Mansion]] in [[Celadon City]]. This was possibly done to prevent entering Saffron too early because Pokémon were now able to [[held items|hold items]], unlike in [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue]], or [[Pokémon Yellow|Yellow]], allowing someone with another [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed or LeafGreen]] game to trade a Pokémon holding one of the three other drinks to a player who had not yet reached the point in the game that they were supposed to.
