'''Lucario''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルカリオ''' ''Lucario'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Riolu}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] during the [[Time#Time-based evolutions|day]].

Lucario can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Lucario''' using the [[Lucarionite]].

==Biology==
Lucario is a bipedal, canine-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with predominantly blue and black fur. It possesses a short, round spike on the back of each forepaw, in addition to a third on its chest. It has red eyes, a long snout, and ears. When its mouth is open, two pairs of pointed teeth, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower, can be seen. It possesses cream-colored fur on its torso and blue fur on its thighs that resemble shorts. It has a medium-length tail of the same blue color as well. It stands on its toes rather than on its entire foot. It has developed four black appendages that hang down from its head, which rise when Lucario reads or manipulates [[aura]], a special energy that it senses.

Lucario can study auras to predict the movements of its opponents and track their quarry. With sufficient training, a Lucario can read auras to understand how living beings are feeling from more than half a mile (1 kilometer) away. However, it sometimes ends up learning that it would not like to know, causing it to get stressed out easily. It also has the power to manipulate this energy in an offensive manner, in the form of {{m|Aura Sphere|explosive spheres of energy}}. Lucario can understand human speech and has been reported to communicate with humans through telepathy.

As [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Lucario, its cream fur becomes longer, and its thighs slim down. It develops more spikes on the back of its paws, which have turned crimson. It also develops spikes on both of its feet, which have become crimson too. Its previously red eyes are now orange-colored. Its aura-sensing appendages grow longer, and two of them are tipped in crimson. Its shoulders also possess a spike each. Its aura heightens throughout its body, which formed black markings on its blue fur.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Lucario</ref> In [[Kalos]], Mega Lucario is believed to be the first discovered Mega Evolution. People call Mega Lucario's fighting style heartless due to it being bathed in the explosive energy of Mega Evolution, awakening its combative instincts and causing it to not show any mercy to any of its opponents.

Lucario is considered to be prideful and is extremely loyal to its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It also seems to have a natural sense of justice, as it only trusts Trainers with righteous hearts. It is an exceptionally rare Pokémon that usually lives deep in mountains very far from people to improve their skills. Lucario are primarily carnivores, hunting their prey in packs, though one {{OBP|Lucario|M08}} was seen eating {{Berries}} and plants like roses. It has also been seen eating chocolate, even though chocolate is not part of its natural diet.

==Trivia==
[[File:Dusty.png|thumb|200px|Dusty's Lucario costume]]
* Because of its debut in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', Lucario appears in the original versions of {{so|Battle Frontier}} and its English dub counterpart, [[Unbeatable]], alongside {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Weavile}}, despite not debuting until the following generation.
* Lucario's English name was revealed on February 9, 2006, with the announcement of the title of ''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew''.
* In {{g|Battle Revolution}}, [[Dusty]] wears a Lucario costume.
* Due to Lucario's combination of {{Abilities}}, in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}} Steadfast only activates if Lucario becomes {{DL|Seeds|X-Eye Seed|cross-eyed}}, or if the opponent has {{a|Mold Breaker}}.
* Lucario has the fewest [[move]]s of all the [[Pokkén Tournament]] fighters, with a total of four.
* In the [[Pokémon Day#Pokémon of the Year|Pokémon of the Year]] poll held by The Pokémon Company in 2020, Lucario was voted the most popular [[Generation IV]] Pokémon, receiving 102,259 votes. It was also the second-most popular Pokémon overall.

===Origin===
Lucario appears to be based on the Egyptian god of funerals and the dead, {{wp|Anubis}}, who has the head of an {{wp|African golden wolf}}. Anubis's role in {{wp|Egyptian mythology}} was to judge the hearts of deceased souls based on their actions during their life. This resembles Lucario's ability to see a life form's aura. It also seems to be based on an Egyptian boxer. {{wp|Boxing}} is a sport that is believed to have origins in Egypt.

The markings on Lucario's face resemble a mask. The rings around its shoulders may be inspired by {{wp|iron rings}} used in martial arts. The four appendages on Lucario's head, together with the shape drawn by its mask (a bisected ring), may suggest inspiration from a {{wp|khakkhara}}, which in popular depictions can respond to spiritual energies similarly to how Lucario's appendages act when it senses aura. The appendages and the conical protrusions on Lucario's hands and chest may draw inspiration from the {{wp|jackal's horn}}, which is a conical growth that can grow on the back of a {{wp|golden jackal}}'s head that is believed to have magic powers in some regions.

Lucario's golden-yellow shiny coloration may be drawn from the African golden wolf and the golden jackal.

====Name origin====
Lucario may be derived from the reverse of the Japanese transcription of ''{{wp|orichalcum}}'' (a mythical metal) or ''{{wp|oracle}}'' (referring to its supernatural abilities involving [[aura]]). It may also involve ''{{wp|Egyptian wolf|Canis lupaster lupaster}}'' (Egyptian wolf), λύκος ''lúkos'' (Greek for wolf), and possibly ''luchar'' (Spanish for ''to fight'').

Gear (Masters)

M190049: /* Mechanics */ Fixing inaccuracy

[[File:Masters gear menu.png|thumb|200px|Gears in Pokémon Masters EX]]
A '''gear''' is an item in [[Pokémon Masters EX]] that can be equipped to a player's team to boost the stats of [[sync pair]]s. Gears can be obtained by completing Main Story Co-op battles (Very Hard and Super Hard modes) and EX-Challenges in the [[EX Plaza]]. A specific gear is guaranteed as a first-time reward with these stages, and can thereafter be obtained as random battle rewards after repeating these stages.

To unlock gears, the player must first complete Chapter 18: Team Unova in both Single and Co-op (Hard) mode to unlock the ''Get Stronger with Gear!'' battle. After completing all these, [[Professor Bellis]] will reward the player with a 1★ Electric Bracelet.

==Mechanics==
Gears come in three forms, Bracelets, which raise Attack, Bandannas, which raise Special Attack, and Pins, which raise HP. Only one of each can be equipped to a team at a time. 3★ gears also boost a secondary stat, Defense, Sp. Def, or Speed, respectively. Gears also have an associated [[type]], and they provide the full stat boost for Pokémon in the team with the same type, while Pokémon of other types will receive only half the boost, rounded down to nearest integer.

A gear's level can be upgraded to increase the boost the gear provides. Increasing the level of a 1★ gear raises its stat boost by one, increasing the level of a 2★ gear raises its boost by two, and increasing the level of a 3★ gear raises its primary stat boost by three and its secondary boost by one. Initially, the gear level is capped at Lv. 3, but the level cap can be unlocked by exchanging duplicate copies of the same gear. Up to four gears can be exchanged to increase the level cap to Lv. 15.

Gears are upgraded using Cloths of the respective type, as well as with Upgrade Threads, Scissors, and Needles which are used to upgrade Bracelets, Bandannas, and Pins respectively.

===Special gears===
Special gears have been made available during certain events. These grant different stat bonuses than the standard gear of the same type and level, but their upgrade requirements are the same. As with standard gears, the stat bonuses are halved for sync pairs that do not match the gear type.

'''Synchronoise''' (Japanese: '''シンクロノイズ''' ''Synchro Noise'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
===Generation V===
Synchronoise damages all adjacent Pokémon that share at least one type with the user. If the user has multiple types, any Pokémon that has any of those types will be damaged.

===Generation VI===
Synchronoise's power changed from 70 to 120, and its PP changed from 15 to 10.

Synchronoise can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if {{m|Reflect Type}} was used in the prior turn.

==Description==
{{movedesc|psychic}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev5|BWB2W2}} {{gameabbrev6|XYORAS}} {{gameabbrev7|SMUSUM}}|Using an odd shock wave, the user inflicts damage on any Pokémon of the same type in the area around it.}}

==Trivia==
* The English name of this move is a combination of the English words ''synchronize'' and ''noise'', of which the Japanese and Korean names are transliterations. The German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish names translate it instead.
* Due to the nature of this move, and the {{t|Dark}} type's immunity to the {{type|Psychic}} moves, pure Dark-type Pokémon (such as {{p|Umbreon}}) cannot use this move successfully under normal circumstances.
* Despite having "noise" in its name, Synchronoise is not a {{cat|Sound-based moves|sound-based move}}.

'''Castform''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポワルン''' ''Powalen'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon whose type can change to {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, or {{t|Ice}} depending on the [[Weather conditions|current weather]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Castform is an [[artificial Pokémon]] created by the [[Weather Institute]] in [[Hoenn]]. It was designed to help scientists predict the weather, and consequently changes its appearance (and [[elemental type|type]]) when the weather changes.

In its natural state, Castform is small, gray and resembles a cloud. When it is extremely sunny, Castform's lower half becomes pure white while the head turns orange with smaller orange balls surrounding it. This gives Castform's head a shape that is similar to the sun. During rain, Castform's lower half becomes a darker shade of gray. The head is blue, resembling a drop of rain. In hail or snowy weather, Castform's head turns purplish-blue. The rest of of the body changes into a mint green {{wp|cumulonimbus cloud}} that also appears to resemble a decorative ice sculpture. Strangely, Castform does not have a form for sandstorms or fog.

In all forms, Castform has markings around its eyes similar to a pair of {{wp|sunglasses}}.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Castform has the aforementioned ability to change its form with the weather (although it lacks forms for sandstorms and fog). Castform is capable of various {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, {{t|Electric}}- and {{type2|Grass}} moves. Castform is one of the few Pokémon that can learn {{m|Weather Ball}}.

===Behavior===
This Pokémon's feelings change with the weather.

===Habitat===

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[File:Bart.png|thumb|right|220px|A Castform in the anime]]
A Castform from the [[Weather Institute]] changed into various forms in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]''.

A Castform also appeared in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]''.

Another one made an appearance in ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom]]'' as one of the random Pokémon Spoink used to replace its lost pearl.

==In the manga==
[[Image:Adventures Castform.png|thumb|right|A Castform in the manga]]
A Castform, nicknamed Popo, belongs to {{adv|Ruby}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Previously, she belonged to [[Mr. Stone]], who was injured in an attack by [[Team Aqua]]. Popo was then given to [[Gabby & Ty|Gabby and Ty]] to be cared for while he was being healed. She later decided to travel with Ruby when he began traveling with the reporters because she was lonely. Until he was reunited with {{p|Ralts|Ruru}}, Popo was Ruby's Smart [[contest]] Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Castform's weather-based transformations are the same color whether or not it is {{shiny}}.
* When Castform undergoes a weather-based transformation, the graphical interlude is the same as that of a Pokémon using the move {{m|Transform}}.
* It is the only Pokémon able to learn both {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Water Gun}}, as well as the only Pokémon able to learn both {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Powder Snow}}.
* Castform will not transform in {{DL|Weather conditions|fog}}, during a {{DL|Weather conditions|sandstorm}} or in {{DL|Weather conditions|Shadow Sky}}.
** However, in {{g|Mystery Dungeon}}, fog transforms it into its Rain form.
** Weather Ball will become a {{type2|Rock}} attack in a sandstorm, despite Castform not having an elemental form for it.
* Castform's Weather Ball will always receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]], even when its form is changed, except in a sandstorm, when {{DL|Weather conditions|Shadow Sky}} is active, or if it loses its ability because of {{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Worry Seed}}, or {{m|Skill Swap}}.
**Castform is the only Pokémon to receive this benefit from Weather Ball.
* Castform and {{p|Cherrim}} are the only Pokémon to date that change with the weather.
** They are also the only fully-evolved Pokémon that can change forms freely and are not banned from tournaments.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], Castform is a body size 4 despite it being a body size 1 in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|first Mystery Dungeon games]] and its in-game sprite still being the same size in the second Mystery Dungeon games. This is probably for game balance reasons.
* Castform's weather-based transformations cannot be viewed in the forms section of the {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} or {{game|Platinum}} Pokédex, nor do they appear on the field in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. They do, however, appear in the {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} Pokédex forms section.
* Despite several Pokédex entries stating that its molecules are just like water, it is not a Water-type Pokémon, though it does become one in [[Weather conditions#Heavy rain|rain]]. It may also be a reference to the fact that it resembles a living cloud.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Castform}}
It appears to be intended to resemble and act like a living cloud. Its ability to change shape and type depending on the weather condition makes similar to a {{wp|weather balloon}}. It's also similar both in concept and design to a {{wp|teru teru bozu}}, a Japanese charm doll used to wish for good weather.

===Name origin===
Castform's name seems to be a combination of ''forecast'', predict the weather, and ''transform'', referring to its ability to change type depending on the weather. The German and French names refer to this as well.

''Powalen'' may be a combination of 天気予報 ''tenkyohō'', weather forecast, and 変わる ''kawaru'', to change or transform.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Formeo - From ''form''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Morphéo - From ''morph'' and ''météo'' (weather forecast).
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 캐스퐁 ''Caspong''
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 漂浮泡泡 ''Piāo Fú Pào Pào'' - "Floating puff/bubble".

M190049: /* Trivia */

[[File:Sugimori Starter artwork.png|thumb|Kanto starter Pokémon artwork]]
At the beginning of their quest, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are given a '''starter Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''はじめてのポケモン''' ''first Pokémon'' or '''さいしょのポケモン''' ''beginning Pokémon''; known as '''御三家''' ''the big three'' among Japanese fans). This Pokémon will be used to {{pkmn|battle}} the first [[wild Pokémon]] that the Trainer encounters. Once another Pokémon is caught, the starter may be retired, but it is often with this Pokémon that Trainers learn friendship and trust. As such, even advanced Trainers may still use their starters.

==In the games==
In the main {{pkmn|games}}, each starter Pokémon is at [[level]] 5, armed with one damage-dealing [[move]] and another that affects [[stat]]s. Trainers can choose between a {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, or {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon ([[Pokémon Yellow Version|with one exception]]). The Trainer that will be designated as the player's [[rival]] will always choose or have the Pokémon of the starter trio that has a type advantage over the one the player chooses, though it may not be the case that they remain the true rival.

The following is a list of starters by region:

===Normal starters===
====Main series====
=====[[Kanto]]=====
In {{game5|Red|Green|Blue|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, [[Professor Oak]] will bring Trainers to his lab to give them one of the following to begin their journey:

| colspan="2" style="background:#{{fire color}}" | [[Fire (type)|{{color|FFF|Fire}}]]
| colspan="2" style="background:#{{water color}}" | [[Water (type)|{{color|FFF|Water}}]]
|- align="center" style="background: #{{kanto color light}}"
| {{MS|003|Venusaur (Pokémon)}}
| {{pcolor|Venusaur|{{kanto color dark}}}}
| {{MS|006|Charizard (Pokémon)}}
| {{pcolor|Charizard|{{kanto color dark}}}}
| {{MS|009|Blastoise (Pokémon)}}
| {{pcolor|Blastoise|{{kanto color dark}}}}
|- align="center"
| style="background:#{{grass color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 5px;" | {{t|Grass|{{color|FFF|Grass}}}}

| style="background:#{{flying color}}" | [[Flying (type)|{{color|FFF|Flying}}]]
| colspan="2" style="background:#{{water color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | [[Water (type)|{{color|FFF|Water}}]]
|}

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

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

In {{game|Yellow}}, Oak instead gives out:

{| align="center" style="background: #{{kanto color dark}}; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #{{kanto color}}"
|-
! style="width:80px; background: #{{kanto color light}}; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 5px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 5px;" | [[Image:025.png]] '''{{color2|{{kanto color dark}}|Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu}}'''
|-
| align="center" colspan="2" style="background:#{{electric color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 5px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | [[Electric (type)|{{color|FFF|Electric}}]]
|}

This {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is the same one that attacked the player when they ventured onto {{rt|1|Kanto}} that Oak caught, which will be the only choice the player gets. Another notable change here involves the player's rival receiving an {{p|Eevee}} from Oak, which will evolve into one of its three [[Generation I]] evolutions, depending on the outcome of the battles between the player and the rival.

It should be noted that during the adventure, the player will be able to get the original three Kanto starters through special events not present in the earlier games. It remains to be the only main series game to allow the player to obtain all three starter Pokémon from a previous game legitimately, without trading. The Pikachu received from Oak will also refuse to evolve into {{p|Raichu}} by use of a {{evostone|Thunderstone}} unless it is traded away to do so.

=====[[Johto]]=====
In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Professor Elm]] will have an errand for the player to run, and will give them one of the following for protection on this errand, which they will then keep after completion:

|}

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

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

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

=====[[Hoenn]]=====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, after [[Professor Birch]] is rescued from a {{p|Poochyena}}{{sup|RS}} or {{p|Zigzagoon}}{{sup|E}}, he allows the player to keep the Pokémon they chose to rescue him with, either:

|}

The player's neighbor, {{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}}, already has his or her starter, which is always the one with the type advantage. [[Wally]] starts with {{p|Ralts}}; he seeks [[Norman]]'s and the player's assistance in catching his first Pokémon. By the end of the game, it seems that the player's nominal rival, the son/daughter of Professor Birch, has stopped being a Trainer, and Wally is actually the true rival, facing the player before he or she can leave {{ho|Victory Road}} and staying there to rebattle the player later.

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

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

|}

The player's friend and rival {{ga|Barry}} will choose the starter that has a type advantage against the player's choice, and the [[non-player character|NPC]] who is the other-gender choice ({{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}) will have the Pokémon weak to the player's choice. After fighting off the two Starly at the lake and returning the briefcase to Rowan, the professor will allow the player and {{ga|Barry}} to keep the Pokémon they used. Compared to previous games, NPC Trainers use their own starter Pokémon more than before, with notable figures such as the [[Gym Leader]] [[Gardenia]] and [[Elite Four]] member {{EF|Flint}} using them, as do several other Trainers.

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

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the regional professor, Araragi, will offer the player a choice of the {{type2|Grass}} {{p|Tsutarja}}, the {{type2|Fire}} {{p|Pokabu}}, or the {{type2|Water}} {{p|Mijumaru}}.

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

|}

This starter Pokémon is also in the player's possession right at the beginning. It is at level 10, knowing Bite which is again unique for this level. At an early point in the game, the player is offered one of five evolutionary items, {{evostone|Water Stone}}, {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, {{evostone|Fire Stone}}, {{evostone|Moon Shard}} and {{evostone|Sun Shard}}, to make the Eevee evolve into any of its [[Eeveelution|evolutions]] [[Generation III|(then)]].

In Pokémon XD, if the player completes the [[Mt. Battle]] challenge and beats all 100 trainers without quitting or switching Pokémon, [[Battlus]] will give him/her one of the Johto starters.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Starter Pokémon poster.jpg|thumb|A poster on Ash Ketchum's bedroom wall, depicting the Kanto starter Pokémon]][[File:LoT starters.png|thumb|[[Vincent]], {{jo|Marina}}, and {{jo|Jimmy}} with their starters]][[File:Sinnoh Starters.png|thumb|A postcard that Dawn received from Professor Rowan, depicting the Sinnoh starter Pokémon]]
Upon their tenth birthday, youth can register for a [[Pokédex]] and pick up a starter Pokémon from the local [[Pokémon professor]] or [[Pokémon Center]] free of charge. Starters are usually raised specifically to be easy to train.

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

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

Other rookie Trainers may receive their first Pokémon from a friend or relative instead; this means that Trainers can, in fact, start with any Pokémon, provided that their first Pokémon is received from someone that is not sanctioned by the Pokémon League.

===List of starter Pokémon in the anime===
* {{Ash}} received a {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]].
* {{an|Brock}} received an {{p|Onix}} from {{ka|Flint|his father}} that now belongs to his brother, [[Forrest]], with whom it evolved into a {{TP|Brock|Steelix}}.
* {{Gary}} received a {{p|Squirtle}} from Professor Oak that [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}.
* [[James]]'s first Pokémon is his pet {{p|Growlithe}} named [[Growlie]]. However, he left it at home when he ran away.
* {{an|Casey}} received a {{p|Chikorita}} from [[Professor Elm]] that evolved into a {{TP|Casey|Meganium}}.
* {{Jo|Jimmy}} received a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from Professor Elm that evolved into a {{TP|Jimmy|Typhlosion}}.
* {{Jo|Marina}} received a {{p|Totodile}} from Professor Elm that evolved into a [[Wani-Wani|Feraligatr]].
* [[Vincent]] received a Chikorita from Professor Elm that evolved into a {{TP|Vincent|Meganium}}.

* {{an|May}} received a {{p|Torchic}} from [[Professor Birch]] that evolved into a {{TP|May|Blaziken}}.
* {{Ho|Tommy}}'s first Pokémon was a {{p|Mudkip}}, that he evolved into a {{p|Marshtomp}}. He lost it on the [[Abandoned Ship]], where it evolved again into {{p|Swampert}}. They were later reunited.
* {{Ho|Stephanie}} (''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'') received a {{p|Mudkip}} from Nurse Joy at the [[Slateport City]] [[Pokémon Center]]. Her father received a {{p|Treecko}} at the same time.
* [[Xander]]'s (''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemna]]'') Caterpie was implied to be his starter Pokémon in the episode, as he mentioned that his Caterpie was his first Pokémon, albeit it was "not caught".
* {{Ka|Gilbert}} (''[[SS014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'') received a {{p|Bulbasaur}} from Professor Oak.
* {{an|Dawn}} received a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} from [[Professor Rowan]].
* [[Yuzo]] said that he started his Pokémon journey with a {{p|Starly}}.
* [[Paul]]'s starter Pokémon was a {{p|Turtwig}}, now a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}.
* {{Si|Kenny}}'s first Pokémon was a {{p|Piplup}} that evolved into an {{TP|Kenny|Empoleon}}.
* [[Tyler]] (''[[DP080|Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'') received a {{p|Piplup}} named ''Pippy'' from an unknown location in East [[Sinnoh]].
* [[Zoey]]'s first Pokémon was a {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} that she raised after it was abandoned. It is her signature Pokémon.
* [[Max]] intends to begin his journey with the {{p|Ralts}} that he met in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]''.
* {{an|Lyra}} received a {{p|Chikorita}} from [[Professor Elm]].
* [[Khoury]] received a {{p|Totodile}} from [[Professor Elm]].

Several characters have also captured Pokémon in the wild that are, in the games, only available as starter Pokémon.
* Ash Ketchum captured a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, a {{AP|Charmander}}, and a {{AP|Squirtle}} in quick succession in the [[Kanto]] region. Of the three, only Charmander evolved, becoming a {{p|Charmeleon}}, and later a {{AP|Charizard}}, both of which were ''very'' disobedient to Ash until [[EP105|an incident]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]], after which it served Ash as it had when it was a Charmander. Bulbasaur was also going to evolve, but decided itself against becoming an {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''.
* Ash also captured the three [[Johto]] region starters, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and {{AP|Totodile}}, of which Cyndaquil and Chikorita evolved, into {{AP|Quilava}} and {{AP|Bayleef}}, respectively.
* Ash captured as well a {{AP|Treecko}} in [[Hoenn]], while Brock captured a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. Treecko evolved twice, becoming {{AP|Sceptile}} before Ash left it at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab, while Brock's Mudkip evolved into {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}}. Along with May's {{TP|May|Torchic}}, the traveling trio had the three starters of Hoenn.
* {{an|May}} captured a {{p|Bulbasaur}} midway through her journey in Hoenn, and was given a {{TP|May|Squirtle}} by Professor Oak when she journeyed to Kanto. Bulbasaur evolved all the way into {{TP|May|Venusaur}} during May's travels through Johto. Squirtle also evolved into {{TP|May|Wartortle}} during May's travels through Johto.
* In [[Sinnoh]], Ash repeated himself by capturing {{AP|Turtwig}}, which has since evolved into a {{AP|Torterra}}. His rival, [[Paul]] owned a Chimchar that was confirmed to be caught in the wild. It was released, recaught by Ash, and is now an {{AP|Infernape}}.
* Dawn hatched a {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}} during her journey in Sinnoh.
* Gary Oak had an {{TP|Gary|Eevee}} at least since Ash was traveling in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]]. As it was revealed to be under his ownership before his Blastoise, it caused many to hearken back to {{game|Yellow}}, where the player starts with {{p|Pikachu}}, like Ash, and the rival starts with Eevee. Either way, it was disproven that this was the case when Gary finally revealed his Blastoise to Ash. His Eevee eventually evolved into {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}.

==In the manga==
===In Pokémon Adventures===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the Starter Pokémon featured in the games are reserved for the few people who hold a Pokédex. [[Professor Oak]] produces three Pokédex for each region, and gives out the three starter Pokémon in each region along with the Pokédex to Trainers he thinks are talented. He has colleagues and friends like Professor Birch do this for him in regions in which he isn't present.

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

====List of starter Pokémon in Pokémon Adventures====
* {{adv|Red}}'s starter was his [[Poli|Poliwag]]. Later, Professor Oak gave him a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]], which became a {{p|Venusaur}} in his travels.
* {{adv|Blue}}'s starter was his [[Blue's Scizor|Scyther]]. His grandfather later gave him a {{TP|Blue|Charmander}}, which evolved twice into a {{p|Charizard}} before Red's had.
* {{adv|Green}}'s starter was her [[Green's Wigglytuff|Jigglypuff]]. She stole a [[Blasty|Squirtle]] from Professor Oak and later obtained the third Pokédex after breaking down in tears in front of Professor Oak, who then recognized her a true Pokédex Holder and forgave her theft. By the time this happened, it had already evolved to a {{p|Blastoise}}.
* {{adv|Yellow}}'s starter a [[Ratty|Rattata]] that Red caught for her. Later, she borrowed Red's [[Pika|Pikachu]], and after Red took him back, caught a [[Chuchu|female Pikachu]] for herself. She originally borrowed Red's Pokédex for her journey to find and save Red, which she received permanently in the end of the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} after the three Pallet Town trainers received National Pokédexes (and the other two copies of the original Pokédex were destroyed dangerously close to the data transfer's finish). Like the Pikachu in [[Yellow Version|Yellow]], neither evolved.
* {{adv|Gold}}'s starter was his [[Aibo|Aipom]] that his mother gave him. Professor Elm allows him to keep a [[Exbo|Cyndaquil]], which becomes a {{p|Typhlosion}} alongside the other two starters.
* {{adv|Silver}}'s starter was the Sneasel that Giovanni gave him as a child. He later stole a {{TP|Silver|Totodile}} from Professor Elm, as well as the first Pokédex of [[Johto]]. His starter evolved twice into a {{p|Feraligatr}}.
* {{adv|Crystal}}'s starter is officially her Smoochum, although she acquired many wild Pokémon that lived as a family while she was in the wild. [[Mega|Chikorita]] later ran away from Professor Elm to go with her, and became a {{p|Meganium}} midway into their journey.
* {{adv|Ruby}}'s starter was his [[Nana|Poochyena]] that he received from his father, though he also received his Skitty and Ralts at the same time. Later, he got Professor Birch's [[Zuzu|Mudkip]]. It evolved into a {{p|Swampert}} from the concussive battles it underwent. He was never formally given the Pokédex, it ended up in his hands, and he was allowed to keep it.
* {{adv|Sapphire}}'s first Pokémon was the Aron her father gave her. Later, he gave her a [[Toro|Torchic]] along with her Pokédex, which evolved twice under her care into {{p|Blaziken}}.
* [[Wally]]'s first Pokémon was a Kecleon that Ruby helped him capture. However, he also borrowed Ruby's Ralts and rescued the Treecko intended for Emerald, but they ended up returned to their rightful owners, and the third Pokédex was returned to Birch, which was then finally given to Emerald.
* {{adv|Emerald}}'s first battle Pokémon was the {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} he rescued from the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, which was supposed to be his in the first place. It evolved from its {{p|Grovyle}} stage in the wild, after evolving once in Wally's care.
* {{adv|Diamond}}'s first was his Munchlax, and later he received a [[Wig|Turtwig]] from Professor Rowan because of a misunderstanding. It has since evolved to {{p|Torterra}} alongside the others.
* {{adv|Pearl}}'s first was his [[Chahiko|Chatot]], and later he received a [[Chimhiko|Chimchar]] from Professor Rowan with Diamond. The Chimchar has since evolved twice into an {{p|Infernape}}.
* {{adv|Platinum}}'s first Pokémon was her [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]], and later she received a [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]] from Professor Rowan. It has since become an {{p|Empoleon}} under her care.

==Trivia==
* For [[DP001]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the starter Pokémon of Sinnoh. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: シンオウで　たびがはじまる　ポケモンと ''Shin'ō de tabi ga hajimaru Pokémon to.'' "In [[Sinnoh]], a journey begins with Pokémon."
* All starters in the [[main series]] besides Pikachu have a 7:1 ratio of males to females.
** Due to this, as well as the way in which gender and shininess were determined, it was ''impossible'' to have a shiny female starter Pokémon in [[Generation II]], as the lowest Attack [[IV]] a [[shiny Pokémon]] can have was 2, while the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon in that gender group can have was 1.
* Each of the {{type2|Grass}} starters is based on a reptilian creature, with Bulbasaur and Chikorita being based on {{wp|dicynodont|prehistoric}} {{wp|sauropod|reptiles}}, Treecko on {{wp|gecko}}s, Turtwig on {{wp|turtle}}s, and Tsutarja on a lizard/snake.
** All of the Generation I starters are based on reptilian creatures. Bulbasaur's family resemble dinosaurs, Charmander's family is based on lizards, and Squirtle's is based on turtles.
* When [[gender differences]] were introduced in [[Generation IV]], none of the {{type2|Water}} starters received gender differences. Also, the Sinnoh region's starters were the only set not to have any gender differences, despite being introduced in the same generation as that feature.
* Starting in Generation III, all of the fully-evolved starters could learn {{m|Earthquake}}; this set a precedent for all later fully-evolved starters.
* The Hoenn starters all evolve for the first time at level 16, then again at level 36. Others have differences in either one or both evolutionary levels.
* Other than {{p|Pikachu}} in the main series, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}} are the only starter Pokémon to appear in more than one [[Regional Pokédex]].
* The starter Pokémon of Generation III each had their own [[signature moves]]: {{m|Leaf Blade}} (Sceptile), {{m|Blaze Kick}} (Blaziken), and {{m|Muddy Water}} (Swampert). However once Generation IV came around, other Pokémon were capable of learning these moves.
* Only the Johto starters' final forms can be legitimately obtained in a type of Poké Ball other than the standard one. This is due to the ability to [[snagging|snag]] the starters' middle forms in {{g|Colosseum}}.
* In interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] during 2009, he stated that starter Pokémon are the Pokémon from each game that the most work goes into, and usually take significantly more time than other Pokémon in each generation.
* {{p|Mudkip}} and {{p|Squirtle}} are the only starter Pokémon that can't learn {{m|Cut}}.
* All starter Pokémon in the main series besides Pikachu knows a [[Physical move]] and a [[Status move]] when the player first obtains it.
* Other than the Mystery Dungeon series, Pokémon Colosseum is the only Pokémon game that the player starts out with 2 Pokémon. They are also the highest leveled.
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and later in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, all of the starter Pokémon are taken, instead of one being left at the lab.
* All of the Grass-type starters have the ability {{a|Overgrow}}, the Fire-type ones {{a|Blaze}}, and the Water-type ones {{a|Torrent}}. The exception to this are the evolutions of the {{p|Eevee}} obtained in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
* In the National Pokédex and the Regional Pokédexes, the Grass-type starter comes numerically before the others. The Water-type ones always come last numerically.
* Espeon and Umbreon are the only starters that are received fully evolved. Also, these two are the only starters which are received together.

===Anime similarities===
* Ash has owned all four Grass-type starters: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Treecko}}, and {{AP|Turtwig}}. All of them except Bulbasaur have evolved since then.
* {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Treecko}} are both based on lizards (salamander, gecko). Ash had the final forms of them: {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Sceptile}}. It should be noted, however, that a real life salamander is an amphibian, not a lizard; however, Charmander is based upon the legendary creature known as the {{wp|salamander (legendary creature)|Salamander}}.
* {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Turtwig}} are both based on turtles and were the starters of two of Ash's rivals, {{Gary}} and [[Paul]].
* {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}} are both based on birds (chicken, penguin). They were also both owned by the anime's resident [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s.
* Both May and Dawn have a second starter Pokémon from a previous generation with a type disadvantage to their first.

M190049: /* Semi-newly Announced Pokemon */

==Semi-newly Announced Pokemon==

Hello,

This article needs to be update to include the two newer pokemon revealed.
Gigaiasu and Mamanbou.

Would it be safe to assume that Mamanbou is atleast a Water type?

{{rdexh|black|white|I}}
{{rdex|???|???|Mamanbou|1|Water}}
{{rdex|???|???|Gigaiasu|1|Rock}}
{{rdex|???|???|Miruhoggu|1|Normal}}
{{rdex|???|???|Shikijika|2|Normal|Grass}}
{{rdex|???|???|Emonga|2|Electric|Flying}}
{{rdex|???|???|Swana|2|Water|Flying}}
{{rdex|???|???|Kurumiru|2|Bug|Grass}}
{{rdex|???|???|Basurao|1|Water}}
{{rdex|???|???|Moguryuu|1|Ground}}
|}

--[[User:Paperstraw|Paperstraw]] 19:31, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Edit: Adding the revealing of two new pokemon; Miruhoggu (Minezumi's evoution) and Shikijika. {{unsigned|Paperstraw}}

Edit 2: Added the new Pika-clone from the Bus Demo, Emonga, plus Gigaiasu and Shikijika's type.--[[User:A Tell-Tale Heart|A Tell-Tale Heart]] 02:11, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Edit 3: Swana and Kurumiru need to be added to the list. Moguryuu's type needs to be changed to ground. And I think it's safe to say Basurao will be atleast part water.--[[User:Paperstraw|Paperstraw]] 16:17, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

* I'd add that Victini's details have been revealed as well in the hopes that someone will get off their *** and write the article, but there's no point requesting an update on this page or on any other pages for that matter. The people with editing privileges will update whenever the crap they feel like it (which will probably be a month after the games are released) and not a minute sooner. Apparently the people in charge of the definitive source of Pokémon knowledge on the web have more important things to do than, say, keep up with current events or keep the wiki up to date. You know, trivial things like that.--[[User:Bad Wolf|Bad Wolf]] 17:00, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

::Oh, I'm sorry? We're a couple of hours late on the news? Maybe even a day at most, but we are keeping up with the news, after all, WE'RE the ones writing the news articles most of the time. But yeah, thanks for letting us know we're not allowed to have lives. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jel]][[User Talk:Jello|lo]] 18:54, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry Jello, but I'll have to support Bad Wolf on this topic. Firstly this is an encyclopedia, something that is supposed to provide the most up-to-date information on its contents as fast as it's released, while this is not humanly possible all of the time, articles should be updated/culled atleast once per week, especially with news of a new game constantly trickling in.

You use the creation of news articles as an excuse, but there hasn't even been an average of 1 article/day, so that is not a satisfactory response in my opinion. There are currently 19 administrators on Bulbapedia, and one of them even stopped in to chastise some criticism, instead of actually editting the main article being criticized, which would have probably taken considerably less time to do, so I think it should be possible to maintain a healthy social life, while updating a couple dozen articles in a week.--[[User:Paperstraw|Paperstraw]] 20:37, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

:I apologize if I offended anyone here, I think I took this a little too personally, hence my comment may not have been appropriate. Speaking for myself here, I do try my hardest to do what I can here, but I'm only one person and it does get stressful. Please try to remember that we put up things that are confirmed, and are wary about putting up rumored information, so we'll always be late, but we can at least be right about it. If you think something should be updated and are not getting any response, the fastest thing would to contact an active staff member on their talk page and bring up the issue there. Thanks. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 20:02, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Hey- just wanted to ask something here... First of all, on the page, we listed Mamanbou as Water-Type due to the fact that it is (99% likely) an evolution of Luvdisc. Additionally, rather then keeping Musharna in "later-reveals-on-the-bottom order", we placed Musharna right after Munna, as they are related by evolution. Considering all that... Shouldn't we, similarly, place Darumakka right before Hihidaruma and state it as Fire-Type? [[User:M190049|'''''~m190049''''']][[User talk:M190049|'''''~talk''''']] 19:57, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
:Actually, Mamanbou is listed as a Water-type because it is a fish, not because it might be an evolution of Luvdisc. In fact, given that there are only Gen V Pokémon pre-national dex, it's also likely that none of the Pokémon currently revealed have cross generation evolutions. Until it is 100% confirmed, there will be no mention of the supposed evolutionary relationship in the articles. Secondly, does the order really matter at the moment? They are all going to be changed when we get their dex numbers anyway. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:25, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
::Ah- wasn't clear on that. Although the evolution thing wasn't really the point of what I was saying- we still assumed it's type, even though it's ''technically not 100% confirmed'', which is what I was trying to get across... Though anyway; Darumakka and Hihidaruma share obvious design aspects, colors, themes, and have similar names. It's pretty obvious they're related. Fine, there doesn't need to be a mention of the relationship in their articles- I didn't even say that anyway...- though it would still make sense to place them next to each other on this page, as we did with Musharna. As for the why does it matter thing- it doesn't. It's called aesthetics- In other words, because it looks nice- it's fun. Of course they're going to be changed when we get their dex numbers, but that shouldn't be for another month or so. We shouldn't just ''not care'' or whatever in the mean time.

==Pikachu Discussion==

who said pikachu's family is going to be there? coro coro said that The Isshu (Sound like issue) is located far away from the others. who said its getting special treatment (it has been used to much for such a weak pokemon. [[User:Vkickass|Vkickass]] 22:12, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
:It's pretty much set in stone that Pikachu will be in there...Its appeared in all main games in the regional Dex, and it's pretty much safe to say it will be there in Black and White...--[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psy''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''ライダー''']]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 22:19, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
::Most likely, all of [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|these Pokemon]] will be in Black and White's Pokedex. Pikachu is guaranteed because of being the mascot of Pokemon. '''[[User:Blake|Blake]]''' [[User talk:Blake#top|Talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Blake|Edits]] 22:27, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

pikachu is pokemons unofficial mascot why wouldnt it be here (honestly....it should be obvious by now and they'd be idiots to stop it now)
([[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 22:31, 12 May 2010 (UTC))
:While I agree that the Pikachu line will end up in the game at some point, we can't put it on the Regional Dex until we have confirmation that it's in the Regional Dex. It could end up being like DP's Eevee for all we know. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 11:50, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

== Needs Speculation and Current Event tags ==

This article has no "official" sources so should be tagged as such. Yes we all agree that the {{tt|cutesy yellow vermin|Pikachu}} will appear in the regional dex however this has not been confirmed by any sources official or unofficial. Therefore it is entirely fan speculation at this point and this status needs to be made clear.--[[User:Beligaronia|Beligaronia]] ([[User talk:Beligaronia|talk]]) 23:12, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
:See above, regarding the vermin. Tags will be put on. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 11:50, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
::Considering that Sdex had Electabuzz and Elekid ready and in waiting at the bottom back in 2006, I don't see why we can't put that Pikachu, which is obvious, will be in the Pokédex. It's not like we're speculating that Magikarp or Geodude will be. If Pikachu's not in the regional 'dex, it's not a Pokémon game. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 18:35, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

== Reshiraram and Zekrom Types ==
Reshiram and Zekrom have been revealed to be Dragon types.
:Yeah, this should be added. [[User:Shady|'''Shady]] got [[Image:PokémonDollar.png]][[User talk:Shady|10,000]] for [[Special:Contributions/Shady|winning]]''' 00:34, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

== Is it really necessary? ==
Do we really need to have all the ???'s in the Pokedex? I think it would be better to organize it just by what we know, like this:

{{rdexh|black|white|I}}
{{rdex|001|494|Tsutarja|1|Grass}}
{{rdex|004|497|Pokabu|1|Fire}}
{{rdex|007|500|Mijumaru|1|Water}}
{{rdex|078|???|Chiramii|1|Normal}}
|}

However, the unnumbered ones can remain as they were. Thoughts?--[[User:Goukazaru|Gou]] 19:11, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

:I partly agree since the number of new Pokémon is unknown as well as the number of previous Generation Pokémon that will be added is also undetermined. It would be a great way of dealing with speculation of the number of things that are unknown at the moment until further details are revealed. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 19:16, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

== Romanization inconsistencies ==

I was going to put this on Rankurusu's page, but since it applies to a few other Pokémon I figured I'd say it here. I noticed that Wōguru's article is entitled '''Wargle''' even though the official romanization has not been confirmed (as far as I know, correct me if I'm wrong). However, there are other new Pokémon whose names are partly derived from English words, but they aren't romanized as such on this page or in the article titles:

* Rankurusu should be '''Ranculus'''
* Chiramii should be '''Chillamii'''
* Giaru should be '''Gearu'''
* Meguroko should be '''Meguroc'''
* Gochikuzeru should be '''Gothiruzeru'''
* Denchura should be '''Dentula'''

I know that a lot of these names are being discussed on the individual pages, but I thought I'd list them here for discussion. Either we should change all of the article names to the ones I listed, or rename Wargle to Wooguru until the official romanization is given. We can't have one article titled with an assumed romanization (no matter how likely it may be) and leave the rest as their literal transliterations; this is, after all, an encyclopedia, and consistency is important.--[[User:Bad Wolf|Bad Wolf]] 07:22, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
:Giaru is "Gearl" in my mind. But I didn't make the article. I made Wargle. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:30, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Is it possible that the Abra, Machop, and Geodude evolutions will be included in the Isshu Pokédex?

I would think it would be possible that they will.But until there`s evidence that they are,They are as of the moment are not in the dex.But about the matter,The forum is a place to speculate this stuff not talk pages.[[User Talk:LucarioWolf|'''Lucario''']][[User:LucarioWolf|'''Wolf''']] 20:16, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

First partner Pokémon

2010-08-10T20:30:41Z

M190049: /* {{OBP|Pokémon World|Mystery Dungeon}} */ Doesn't this make more sense, visually? It's much better looking and more symmetrical. (Possibly left a few irregularities in there.)

[[File:Sugimori Starter artwork.png|thumb|Kanto starter Pokémon artwork]]
At the beginning of their quest, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are given a '''starter Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''はじめてのポケモン''' ''first Pokémon'' or '''さいしょのポケモン''' ''beginning Pokémon''; known as '''御三家''' ''the big three'' among Japanese fans). This Pokémon will be used to {{pkmn|battle}} the first [[wild Pokémon]] that the Trainer encounters. Once another Pokémon is caught, the starter may be retired, but it is often with this Pokémon that Trainers learn friendship and trust. As such, even advanced Trainers may still use their starters.

==In the games==
In the main {{pkmn|games}}, each starter Pokémon is at [[level]] 5, armed with one damage-dealing [[move]] and another that affects [[stat]]s. Trainers can choose between a {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, or {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon ([[Pokémon Yellow Version|with one exception]]). The Trainer that will be designated as the player's [[rival]] will always choose or have the Pokémon of the starter trio that has a type advantage over the one the player chooses, though it may not be the case that they remain the true rival.

The following is a list of starters by region:

===Normal starters===
====Main series====
=====[[Kanto]]=====
In {{game5|Red|Green|Blue|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, [[Professor Oak]] will bring Trainers to his lab to give them one of the following to begin their journey:

{| align="center" style="background: #{{kanto color dark}}; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #{{kanto color}}"

|- align="center" style="background: #{{kanto color light}}"
| style="background:#{{grass color}}" | [[Grass (type)|{{color|FFF|Grass}}]]
| style="background:#{{poison color}}" | [[Poison (type)|{{color|FFF|Poison}}]]
| colspan="2" style="background:#{{fire color}}" | [[Fire (type)|{{color|FFF|Fire}}]]
| colspan="2" style="background:#{{water color}}" | [[Water (type)|{{color|FFF|Water}}]]
|- align="center" style="background: #{{kanto color light}}"
| {{MS|003|Venusaur (Pokémon)}}
| {{pcolor|Venusaur|{{kanto color dark}}}}
| {{MS|006|Charizard (Pokémon)}}
| {{pcolor|Charizard|{{kanto color dark}}}}
| {{MS|009|Blastoise (Pokémon)}}
| {{pcolor|Blastoise|{{kanto color dark}}}}
|- align="center"
| style="background:#{{grass color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 5px;" | {{t|Grass|{{color|FFF|Grass}}}}
| style="background:#{{poison color}}" | [[Poison (type)|{{color|FFF|Poison}}]]
| style="background:#{{fire color}}" | [[Fire (type)|{{color|FFF|Fire}}]]
| style="background:#{{flying color}}" | [[Flying (type)|{{color|FFF|Flying}}]]
| colspan="2" style="background:#{{water color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | [[Water (type)|{{color|FFF|Water}}]]
|}

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

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

In {{game|Yellow}}, Oak instead gives out:

{| align="center" style="background: #{{kanto color dark}}; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #{{kanto color}}"
|-
! style="width:80px; background: #{{kanto color light}}; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 5px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 5px;" | [[Image:025.png]] '''{{color2|{{kanto color dark}}|Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu}}'''
|-
| align="center" colspan="2" style="background:#{{electric color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 5px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | [[Electric (type)|{{color|FFF|Electric}}]]
|}

This {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is the same one that attacked the player when they ventured onto {{rt|1|Kanto}} that Oak caught, which will be the only choice the player gets. Another notable change here involves the player's rival receiving an {{p|Eevee}} from Oak, which will evolve into one of its three [[Generation I]] evolutions, depending on the outcome of the battles between the player and the rival.

It should be noted that during the adventure, the player will be able to get the original three Kanto starters through special events not present in the earlier games. It remains to be the only main series game to allow the player to obtain all three starter Pokémon from a previous game legitimately, without trading. The Pikachu received from Oak will also refuse to evolve into {{p|Raichu}} by use of a {{evostone|Thunderstone}} unless it is traded away to do so.

=====[[Johto]]=====
In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Professor Elm]] will have an errand for the player to run, and will give them one of the following for protection on this errand, which they will then keep after completion:

{| align="center" style="background: #{{johto color dark}}; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #{{johto color}}"

| colspan="2" style="background:#{{water color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px" | [[Water (type)|{{color|FFF|Water}}]]
|}

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

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

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

=====[[Hoenn]]=====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, after [[Professor Birch]] is rescued from a {{p|Poochyena}}{{sup|RS}} or {{p|Zigzagoon}}{{sup|E}}, he allows the player to keep the Pokémon they chose to rescue him with, either:

|}

The player's neighbor, {{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}}, already has his or her starter, which is always the one with the type advantage. [[Wally]] starts with {{p|Ralts}}; he seeks [[Norman]]'s and the player's assistance in catching his first Pokémon. By the end of the game, it seems that the player's nominal rival, the son/daughter of Professor Birch, has stopped being a Trainer, and Wally is actually the true rival, facing the player before he or she can leave {{ho|Victory Road}} and staying there to rebattle the player later.

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

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

|}

The player's friend and rival {{ga|Barry}} will choose the starter that has a type advantage against the player's choice, and the [[non-player character|NPC]] who is the other-gender choice ({{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}) will have the Pokémon weak to the player's choice. After fighting off the two Starly at the lake and returning the briefcase to Rowan, the professor will allow the player and {{ga|Barry}} to keep the Pokémon they used. Compared to previous games, NPC Trainers use their own starter Pokémon more than before, with notable figures such as the [[Gym Leader]] [[Gardenia]] and [[Elite Four]] member {{EF|Flint}} using them, as do several other Trainers.

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

=====[[Isshu]]=====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the regional professor, Araragi, will offer the player a choice of the {{type2|Grass}} {{p|Tsutarja}}, the {{type2|Fire}} {{p|Pokabu}}, or the {{type2|Water}} {{p|Mijumaru}}.

====Side series====
=====[[Orre]]=====
In {{g|Colosseum}}:

{| align="center" style="background: #{{colo color dark}}; text-align: center; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #{{colo color}}"
|-
! style="width:80px; background:#{{colo color light}}; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 5px;" | [[Image:196.png]] '''{{pcolor|Espeon|{{colo color dark}}}}'''

| style="background:#{{dark color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | [[Dark (type)|{{color|FFF|Dark}}]]
|}

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

In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]:

|}

This starter Pokémon is also in the player's possession right at the beginning. It is at level 10, knowing Bite which is again unique for this level. At an early point in the game, the player is offered one of five evolutionary items, {{evostone|Water Stone}}, {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, {{evostone|Fire Stone}}, {{evostone|Moon Shard}} and {{evostone|Sun Shard}}, to make the Eevee evolve into any of its [[Eeveelution|evolutions]] [[Generation III|(then)]].

In Pokémon XD, if the player completes the [[Mt. Battle]] challenge and beats all 100 trainers without quitting or switching Pokémon, [[Battlus]] will give him/her one of the Johto starters.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Starter Pokémon poster.jpg|thumb|A poster on Ash Ketchum's bedroom wall, depicting the Kanto starter Pokémon]][[File:LoT starters.png|thumb|[[Vincent]], {{jo|Marina}}, and {{jo|Jimmy}} with their starters]][[File:Sinnoh Starters.png|thumb|A postcard that Dawn received from Professor Rowan, depicting the Sinnoh starter Pokémon]]
Upon their tenth birthday, youth can register for a [[Pokédex]] and pick up a starter Pokémon from the local [[Pokémon professor]] or [[Pokémon Center]] free of charge. Starters are usually raised specifically to be easy to train.

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

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

Other rookie Trainers may receive their first Pokémon from a friend or relative instead; this means that Trainers can, in fact, start with any Pokémon, provided that their first Pokémon is received from someone that is not sanctioned by the Pokémon League.

===List of starter Pokémon in the anime===
* {{Ash}} received a {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]].
* {{an|Brock}} received an {{p|Onix}} from {{ka|Flint|his father}} that now belongs to his brother, [[Forrest]], with whom it evolved into a {{TP|Brock|Steelix}}.
* {{Gary}} received a {{p|Squirtle}} from Professor Oak that [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}.
* [[James]]'s first Pokémon is his pet {{p|Growlithe}} named [[Growlie]]. However, he left it at home when he ran away.
* {{an|Casey}} received a {{p|Chikorita}} from [[Professor Elm]] that evolved into a {{TP|Casey|Meganium}}.
* {{Jo|Jimmy}} received a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from Professor Elm that evolved into a {{TP|Jimmy|Typhlosion}}.
* {{Jo|Marina}} received a {{p|Totodile}} from Professor Elm that evolved into a [[Wani-Wani|Feraligatr]].
* [[Vincent]] received a Chikorita from Professor Elm that evolved into a {{TP|Vincent|Meganium}}.
* {{Jo|Harrison}} received a Torchic from [[Professor Birch]] that evolved into a {{TP|Harrison|Blaziken}}.
* {{an|May}} received a {{p|Torchic}} from [[Professor Birch]] that evolved into a {{TP|May|Blaziken}}.
* {{Ho|Tommy}}'s first Pokémon was a {{p|Mudkip}}, that he evolved into a {{p|Marshtomp}}. He lost it on the [[Abandoned Ship]], where it evolved again into {{p|Swampert}}. They were later reunited.
* {{Ho|Stephanie}} (''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'') received a {{p|Mudkip}} from Nurse Joy at the [[Slateport City]] [[Pokémon Center]]. Her father received a {{p|Treecko}} at the same time.
* [[Xander]]'s (''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemna]]'') Caterpie was implied to be his starter Pokémon in the episode, as he mentioned that his Caterpie was his first Pokémon, albeit it was "not caught".
* {{Ka|Gilbert}} (''[[SS014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'') received a {{p|Bulbasaur}} from Professor Oak.
* {{an|Dawn}} received a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} from [[Professor Rowan]].
* [[Yuzo]] said that he started his Pokémon journey with a {{p|Starly}}.
* [[Paul]]'s starter Pokémon was a {{p|Turtwig}}, now a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}.
* {{Si|Kenny}}'s first Pokémon was a {{p|Piplup}} that evolved into an {{TP|Kenny|Empoleon}}.
* [[Tyler]] (''[[DP080|Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'') received a {{p|Piplup}} named ''Pippy'' from an unknown location in East [[Sinnoh]].
* [[Zoey]]'s first Pokémon was a {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} that she raised after it was abandoned. It is her signature Pokémon.
* [[Max]] intends to begin his journey with the {{p|Ralts}} that he met in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]''.
* {{an|Lyra}} received a {{p|Chikorita}} from [[Professor Elm]].
* [[Khoury]] received a {{p|Totodile}} from [[Professor Elm]].

Several characters have also captured Pokémon in the wild that are, in the games, only available as starter Pokémon.
* Ash Ketchum captured a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, a {{AP|Charmander}}, and a {{AP|Squirtle}} in quick succession in the [[Kanto]] region. Of the three, only Charmander evolved, becoming a {{p|Charmeleon}}, and later a {{AP|Charizard}}, both of which were ''very'' disobedient to Ash until [[EP105|an incident]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]], after which it served Ash as it had when it was a Charmander. Bulbasaur was also going to evolve, but decided itself against becoming an {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''.
* Ash also captured the three [[Johto]] region starters, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and {{AP|Totodile}}, of which Cyndaquil and Chikorita evolved, into {{AP|Quilava}} and {{AP|Bayleef}}, respectively.
* Ash captured as well a {{AP|Treecko}} in [[Hoenn]], while Brock captured a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. Treecko evolved twice, becoming {{AP|Sceptile}} before Ash left it at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab, while Brock's Mudkip evolved into {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}}. Along with May's {{TP|May|Torchic}}, the traveling trio had the three starters of Hoenn.
* {{an|May}} captured a {{p|Bulbasaur}} midway through her journey in Hoenn, and was given a {{TP|May|Squirtle}} by Professor Oak when she journeyed to Kanto. Bulbasaur evolved all the way into {{TP|May|Venusaur}} during May's travels through Johto. Squirtle also evolved into {{TP|May|Wartortle}} during May's travels through Johto.
* In [[Sinnoh]], Ash repeated himself by capturing {{AP|Turtwig}}, which has since evolved into a {{AP|Torterra}}. His rival, [[Paul]] owned a Chimchar that was confirmed to be caught in the wild. It was released, recaught by Ash, and is now an {{AP|Infernape}}.
* Dawn hatched a {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}} during her journey in Sinnoh.
* Gary Oak had an {{TP|Gary|Eevee}} at least since Ash was traveling in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]]. As it was revealed to be under his ownership before his Blastoise, it caused many to hearken back to {{game|Yellow}}, where the player starts with {{p|Pikachu}}, like Ash, and the rival starts with Eevee. Either way, it was disproven that this was the case when Gary finally revealed his Blastoise to Ash. His Eevee eventually evolved into {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}.

==In the manga==
===In Pokémon Adventures===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the Starter Pokémon featured in the games are reserved for the few people who hold a Pokédex. [[Professor Oak]] produces three Pokédex for each region, and gives out the three starter Pokémon in each region along with the Pokédex to Trainers he thinks are talented. He has colleagues and friends like Professor Birch do this for him in regions in which he isn't present.

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

====List of starter Pokémon in Pokémon Adventures====
* {{adv|Red}}'s starter was his [[Poli|Poliwag]]. Later, Professor Oak gave him a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]], which became a {{p|Venusaur}} in his travels.
* {{adv|Blue}}'s starter was his [[Blue's Scizor|Scyther]]. His grandfather later gave him a {{TP|Blue|Charmander}}, which evolved twice into a {{p|Charizard}} before Red's had.
* {{adv|Green}}'s starter was her [[Green's Wigglytuff|Jigglypuff]]. She stole a [[Blasty|Squirtle]] from Professor Oak and later obtained the third Pokédex after breaking down in tears in front of Professor Oak, who then recognized her a true Pokédex Holder and forgave her theft. By the time this happened, it had already evolved to a {{p|Blastoise}}.
* {{adv|Yellow}}'s starter a [[Ratty|Rattata]] that Red caught for her. Later, she borrowed Red's [[Pika|Pikachu]], and after Red took him back, caught a [[Chuchu|female Pikachu]] for herself. She originally borrowed Red's Pokédex for her journey to find and save Red, which she received permanently in the end of the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} after the three Pallet Town trainers received National Pokédexes (and the other two copies of the original Pokédex were destroyed dangerously close to the data transfer's finish). Like the Pikachu in [[Yellow Version|Yellow]], neither evolved.
* {{adv|Gold}}'s starter was his [[Aibo|Aipom]] that his mother gave him. Professor Elm allows him to keep a [[Exbo|Cyndaquil]], which becomes a {{p|Typhlosion}} alongside the other two starters.
* {{adv|Silver}}'s starter was the Sneasel that Giovanni gave him as a child. He later stole a {{TP|Silver|Totodile}} from Professor Elm, as well as the first Pokédex of [[Johto]]. His starter evolved twice into a {{p|Feraligatr}}.
* {{adv|Crystal}}'s starter is officially her Smoochum, although she acquired many wild Pokémon that lived as a family while she was in the wild. [[Mega|Chikorita]] later ran away from Professor Elm to go with her, and became a {{p|Meganium}} midway into their journey.
* {{adv|Ruby}}'s starter was his [[Nana|Poochyena]] that he received from his father, though he also received his Skitty and Ralts at the same time. Later, he got Professor Birch's [[Zuzu|Mudkip]]. It evolved into a {{p|Swampert}} from the concussive battles it underwent. He was never formally given the Pokédex, it ended up in his hands, and he was allowed to keep it.
* {{adv|Sapphire}}'s first Pokémon was the Aron her father gave her. Later, he gave her a [[Toro|Torchic]] along with her Pokédex, which evolved twice under her care into {{p|Blaziken}}.
* [[Wally]]'s first Pokémon was a Kecleon that Ruby helped him capture. However, he also borrowed Ruby's Ralts and rescued the Treecko intended for Emerald, but they ended up returned to their rightful owners, and the third Pokédex was returned to Birch, which was then finally given to Emerald.
* {{adv|Emerald}}'s first battle Pokémon was the {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} he rescued from the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, which was supposed to be his in the first place. It evolved from its {{p|Grovyle}} stage in the wild, after evolving once in Wally's care.
* {{adv|Diamond}}'s first was his Munchlax, and later he received a [[Wig|Turtwig]] from Professor Rowan because of a misunderstanding. It has since evolved to {{p|Torterra}} alongside the others.
* {{adv|Pearl}}'s first was his [[Chahiko|Chatot]], and later he received a [[Chimhiko|Chimchar]] from Professor Rowan with Diamond. The Chimchar has since evolved twice into an {{p|Infernape}}.
* {{adv|Platinum}}'s first Pokémon was her [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]], and later she received a [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]] from Professor Rowan. It has since become an {{p|Empoleon}} under her care.

==Trivia==
* For [[DP001]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the starter Pokémon of Sinnoh. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: シンオウで　たびがはじまる　ポケモンと ''Shin'ō de tabi ga hajimaru Pokémon to.'' "In [[Sinnoh]], a journey begins with Pokémon."
* All starters in the [[main series]] besides Pikachu have a 7:1 ratio of males to females.
** Due to this, as well as the way in which gender and shininess were determined, it was ''impossible'' to have a shiny female starter Pokémon, as the lowest Attack [[IV]] a [[shiny Pokémon]] can have was 2, while the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon in that gender group can have is 1.
* Each of the {{type2|Grass}} starters is based on a reptilian creature, with Bulbasaur and Chikorita being based on {{wp|dicynodont|prehistoric}} {{wp|sauropod|reptiles}}, Treecko on {{wp|gecko}}s, Turtwig on {{wp|turtle}}s, and Tsutarja on a lizard/snake.
** All of the Generation I starters are based on reptilian creatures. Bulbasaur's family resemble dinosaurs, Charmander's family is based on lizards, and Squirtle's is based on turtles.
* When [[gender differences]] were introduced in [[Generation IV]], none of the {{type2|Water}} starters received gender differences. Also, the Sinnoh region's starters were the only set not to have any gender differences, despite being introduced in the same generation as that feature.
* Starting in Generation III, all of the fully-evolved starters could learn {{m|Earthquake}}; this set a precedent for all later fully-evolved starters.
* The Hoenn starters all evolve for the first time at level 16, then again at level 36. Others have differences in either one or both evolutionary levels.
* Other than {{p|Pikachu}} in the main series, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}} are the only starter Pokémon to appear in more than one [[Regional Pokédex]].
* The starter Pokémon of Generation III each had their own [[signature moves]]: {{m|Leaf Blade}} (Sceptile), {{m|Blaze Kick}} (Blaziken), and {{m|Muddy Water}} (Swampert). However once Generation IV came around, other Pokémon were capable of learning these moves.
* Only the Johto starters' final forms can be legitimately obtained in a type of Poké Ball other than the standard one. This is due to the ability to [[snagging|snag]] the starters' middle forms in {{g|Colosseum}}.
* In interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] during 2009, he stated that starter Pokémon are the Pokémon from each game that the most work goes into, and usually take significantly more time than other Pokémon in each generation.
* {{p|Mudkip}} and {{p|Squirtle}} are the only starter Pokémon that can't learn {{m|Cut}}.
* All starter Pokémon in the main series besides Pikachu knows a [[Physical move]] and a [[Status move]] when the player first obtains it.
* Other than the Mystery Dungeon series, Pokémon Colosseum is the only Pokémon game that the player starts out with 2 Pokémon. They are also the highest leveled.
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and later in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, all of the starter Pokémon are taken, instead of one being left at the lab.
* All of the Grass-type starters have the ability {{a|Overgrow}}, the Fire-type ones {{a|Blaze}}, and the Water-type ones {{a|Torrent}}. The exception to this are the evolutions of the {{p|Eevee}} obtained in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
* In the National Pokédex and the Regional Pokédexes, the Grass-type starter comes numerically before the others. The Water-type ones always come last numerically.
* Espeon and Umbreon are the only starters that are received fully evolved. Also, these two are the only starters which are received together.

===Anime similarities===
* Ash has owned all four Grass-type starters: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Treecko}}, and {{AP|Turtwig}}. All of them except Bulbasaur have evolved since then.
* {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Treecko}} are both based on lizards (salamander, gecko). Ash had the final forms of them: {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Sceptile}}. It should be noted, however, that a real life salamander is an amphibian, not a lizard; however, Charmander is based upon the legendary creature known as the {{wp|salamander (legendary creature)|Salamander}}.
* {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Turtwig}} are both based on turtles and were the starters of two of Ash's rivals, {{Gary}} and [[Paul]].
* {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}} are both based on birds (chicken, penguin). They were also both owned by the anime's resident [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s.
* Both May and Dawn have a second starter Pokémon from a previous generation with a type disadvantage to their first.

M190049: /* Semi-newly Announced Pokemon */

==Semi-newly Announced Pokemon==

Hello,

This article needs to be update to include the two newer pokemon revealed.
Gigaiasu and Mamanbou.

Would it be safe to assume that Mamanbou is atleast a Water type?

{{rdexh|black|white|I}}
{{rdex|???|???|Mamanbou|1|Water}}
{{rdex|???|???|Gigaiasu|1|Rock}}
{{rdex|???|???|Miruhoggu|1|Normal}}
{{rdex|???|???|Shikijika|2|Normal|Grass}}
{{rdex|???|???|Emonga|2|Electric|Flying}}
{{rdex|???|???|Swana|2|Water|Flying}}
{{rdex|???|???|Kurumiru|2|Bug|Grass}}
{{rdex|???|???|Basurao|1|Water}}
{{rdex|???|???|Moguryuu|1|Ground}}
|}

--[[User:Paperstraw|Paperstraw]] 19:31, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Edit: Adding the revealing of two new pokemon; Miruhoggu (Minezumi's evoution) and Shikijika. {{unsigned|Paperstraw}}

Edit 2: Added the new Pika-clone from the Bus Demo, Emonga, plus Gigaiasu and Shikijika's type.--[[User:A Tell-Tale Heart|A Tell-Tale Heart]] 02:11, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Edit 3: Swana and Kurumiru need to be added to the list. Moguryuu's type needs to be changed to ground. And I think it's safe to say Basurao will be atleast part water.--[[User:Paperstraw|Paperstraw]] 16:17, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

* I'd add that Victini's details have been revealed as well in the hopes that someone will get off their *** and write the article, but there's no point requesting an update on this page or on any other pages for that matter. The people with editing privileges will update whenever the crap they feel like it (which will probably be a month after the games are released) and not a minute sooner. Apparently the people in charge of the definitive source of Pokémon knowledge on the web have more important things to do than, say, keep up with current events or keep the wiki up to date. You know, trivial things like that.--[[User:Bad Wolf|Bad Wolf]] 17:00, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
:{{p|Victini}}--[[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]][[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 17:50, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
::Oh, I'm sorry? We're a couple of hours late on the news? Maybe even a day at most, but we are keeping up with the news, after all, WE'RE the ones writing the news articles most of the time. But yeah, thanks for letting us know we're not allowed to have lives. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jel]][[User Talk:Jello|lo]] 18:54, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry Jello, but I'll have to support Bad Wolf on this topic. Firstly this is an encyclopedia, something that is supposed to provide the most up-to-date information on its contents as fast as it's released, while this is not humanly possible all of the time, articles should be updated/culled atleast once per week, especially with news of a new game constantly trickling in.

You use the creation of news articles as an excuse, but there hasn't even been an average of 1 article/day, so that is not a satisfactory response in my opinion. There are currently 19 administrators on Bulbapedia, and one of them even stopped in to chastise some criticism, instead of actually editting the main article being criticized, which would have probably taken considerably less time to do, so I think it should be possible to maintain a healthy social life, while updating a couple dozen articles in a week.--[[User:Paperstraw|Paperstraw]] 20:37, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

:I apologize if I offended anyone here, I think I took this a little too personally, hence my comment may not have been appropriate. Speaking for myself here, I do try my hardest to do what I can here, but I'm only one person and it does get stressful. Please try to remember that we put up things that are confirmed, and are wary about putting up rumored information, so we'll always be late, but we can at least be right about it. If you think something should be updated and are not getting any response, the fastest thing would to contact an active staff member on their talk page and bring up the issue there. Thanks. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 20:02, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Hey- just wanted to ask something here... First of all, on the page, we listed Mamanbou as Water-Type due to the fact that it is (99% likely) an evolution of Luvdisc. Additionally, rather then keeping Musharna in "later-reveals-on-the-bottom order", we placed Musharna right after Munna, as they are related by evolution. Considering all that... Shouldn't we, similarly, place Darumakka right before Hihidaruma and state it as Fire-Type? [[User:M190049|'''''~m190049''''']][[User talk:M190049|'''''~talk''''']] 19:57, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

==Pikachu Discussion==

who said pikachu's family is going to be there? coro coro said that The Isshu (Sound like issue) is located far away from the others. who said its getting special treatment (it has been used to much for such a weak pokemon. [[User:Vkickass|Vkickass]] 22:12, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
:It's pretty much set in stone that Pikachu will be in there...Its appeared in all main games in the regional Dex, and it's pretty much safe to say it will be there in Black and White...--[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psy''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''ライダー''']]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 22:19, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
::Most likely, all of [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|these Pokemon]] will be in Black and White's Pokedex. Pikachu is guaranteed because of being the mascot of Pokemon. '''[[User:Blake|Blake]]''' [[User talk:Blake#top|Talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Blake|Edits]] 22:27, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

pikachu is pokemons unofficial mascot why wouldnt it be here (honestly....it should be obvious by now and they'd be idiots to stop it now)
([[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 22:31, 12 May 2010 (UTC))
:While I agree that the Pikachu line will end up in the game at some point, we can't put it on the Regional Dex until we have confirmation that it's in the Regional Dex. It could end up being like DP's Eevee for all we know. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 11:50, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

== Needs Speculation and Current Event tags ==

This article has no "official" sources so should be tagged as such. Yes we all agree that the {{tt|cutesy yellow vermin|Pikachu}} will appear in the regional dex however this has not been confirmed by any sources official or unofficial. Therefore it is entirely fan speculation at this point and this status needs to be made clear.--[[User:Beligaronia|Beligaronia]] ([[User talk:Beligaronia|talk]]) 23:12, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
:See above, regarding the vermin. Tags will be put on. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 11:50, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
::Considering that Sdex had Electabuzz and Elekid ready and in waiting at the bottom back in 2006, I don't see why we can't put that Pikachu, which is obvious, will be in the Pokédex. It's not like we're speculating that Magikarp or Geodude will be. If Pikachu's not in the regional 'dex, it's not a Pokémon game. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 18:35, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

== Reshiraram and Zekrom Types ==
Reshiram and Zekrom have been revealed to be Dragon types.
:Yeah, this should be added. [[User:Shady|'''Shady]] got [[Image:PokémonDollar.png]][[User talk:Shady|10,000]] for [[Special:Contributions/Shady|winning]]''' 00:34, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

== Is it really necessary? ==
Do we really need to have all the ???'s in the Pokedex? I think it would be better to organize it just by what we know, like this:

{{rdexh|black|white|I}}
{{rdex|001|494|Tsutarja|1|Grass}}
{{rdex|004|497|Pokabu|1|Fire}}
{{rdex|007|500|Mijumaru|1|Water}}
{{rdex|078|???|Chiramii|1|Normal}}
|}

However, the unnumbered ones can remain as they were. Thoughts?--[[User:Goukazaru|Gou]] 19:11, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

:I partly agree since the number of new Pokémon is unknown as well as the number of previous Generation Pokémon that will be added is also undetermined. It would be a great way of dealing with speculation of the number of things that are unknown at the moment until further details are revealed. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 19:16, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

== Romanization inconsistencies ==

I was going to put this on Rankurusu's page, but since it applies to a few other Pokémon I figured I'd say it here. I noticed that Wōguru's article is entitled '''Wargle''' even though the official romanization has not been confirmed (as far as I know, correct me if I'm wrong). However, there are other new Pokémon whose names are partly derived from English words, but they aren't romanized as such on this page or in the article titles:

* Rankurusu should be '''Ranculus'''
* Chiramii should be '''Chillamii'''
* Giaru should be '''Gearu'''
* Meguroko should be '''Meguroc'''
* Gochikuzeru should be '''Gothiruzeru'''
* Denchura should be '''Dentula'''

I know that a lot of these names are being discussed on the individual pages, but I thought I'd list them here for discussion. Either we should change all of the article names to the ones I listed, or rename Wargle to Wooguru until the official romanization is given. We can't have one article titled with an assumed romanization (no matter how likely it may be) and leave the rest as their literal transliterations; this is, after all, an encyclopedia, and consistency is important.--[[User:Bad Wolf|Bad Wolf]] 07:22, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
:Giaru is "Gearl" in my mind. But I didn't make the article. I made Wargle. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:30, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
:Chillarmy is the trademarked romanization. And yeah, Gearl, makes the most sense, since gear is "gia", and adding an extra r would be pointless. [[User:Goldenpelt|Gοlden]][[User talk:Goldenpelt|pelt]] 04:59, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

== Just one question before the pre-release of the games... ==

Is it possible that the Abra, Machop, and Geodude evolutions will be included in the Isshu Pokédex? 
~~'''''[[User:LDEJRuff|LDE]][[User_talk:LDEJRuff|JRuff]]'''''~~([[Special:Contributions/LDEJRuff|see what I have contributed]]) July 27, 2010, 15:16 (EDT)

I would think it would be possible that they will.But until there`s evidence that they are,They are as of the moment are not in the dex.But about the matter,The forum is a place to speculate this stuff not talk pages.[[User Talk:LucarioWolf|'''Lucario''']][[User:LucarioWolf|'''Wolf''']] 20:16, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

== Name romanization ==

Why are we romanizing the name as "Tsutaaja"? {{bp|Manual of style/Romanization}} states that macrons should be used instead of doubling letters, unless the trademarked romanization begs to differ. And there is no trademarked romanization (I scoured the trademark database last night) - we don't even have official confirmation that these ''are'' the starters' names.

I mean, I personally don't like macrons, but shouldn't we romanize it as "Tsutāja," as per the MoS? [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 17:45, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

I wrote up a physical description of Tsutarja for the Physiology section, since as of now it's pretty sparce. I know there's certain info that can't be added as of now, but I don't see why we can't have basic appearance descriptions. Besides, Pokabu has a much more extensive Physiology section. It's up for use if someone wants to add it.

"Tsutarja is a reptilian Grass-type Pokémon. Most of its body is green in coloration, while it has a cream-colored underside. A yellow stripe runs down the length of its back and tail, and it also has yellow markings around its large eyes. Yellow, curved structures protrude from its shoulders and bend backwards. These structures resemble leaves or small wings and give Tsutarja the appearance of wearing a collar. In spite of being snake-like in appearance, it has fully-developed limbs. Its slender arms are the same green color as the rest of its body and have three fingers, while its tiny feet match its underside in coloration and have no digits whatsoever. It has large, palmate leaf with three prongs on the end of its tail.

== About its National number ==

Yes. We know. {{p|Victini}} is #000 in the Isshu dex. This means nothing right now about its National number. Think of it this way: they put Victini at #000 so that you'd not know right off the bat getting it how many other Pokémon there are to find, especially given that it's gonna be an early event, like Manaphy. If you got Mew just after you got your starter in RBY, you'd know there's 151 Pokémon in Kanto. Same with Celebi in GSC, Deoxys in RSE, and so on. This is a failsafe to make Pokémon feel less like "let's see how many they added" and more like "oh, there's so many of these things, I wonder what they all are...". Sure, futile anyway, given that we'll likely have access to the games and have figured out everything by the day after it comes out... but still. An admirable solution to that huge-empty-Pokédex problem we've had since Gen I.

Tsutarja, until further notice, is staying at #494. We cannot assume anything different than it directly following Arceus, just as Chikorita followed Mew, Treecko followed Celebi, and Turtwig followed Deoxys. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:55, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

== Poor Origin Species Choice ==

The Origin Section on Tsutarja's page lables it as "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opheodrys_aestivus Opheodrys aestivus], more commonly known as the rough green snake or green grass snake". I honsetly STRONGLY disagree with this noition. Other than the somewhat-similar color scheme, there's not TOO much in common- the face is WAY too different. I think that Tsutarja is MUCH more likely based on a somewhat-popular species [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/03/Oxybelis_fulgidus_4.jpg known] [http://www.naturfoto-cz.de/photos/sevcik/green-vine-snake--oxybelis-fulgidus.jpg as the] [http://travel.mongabay.com/animals/080923/600/brnxz_711.jpg Vine] [http://www.jmg-galleries.com/blog_images/best_photos_2009/9_TRAVEL_COSTARICA_JMG9804_c.jpeg Snake]. The Vine Snake is a snake species found all throughout the Americas. Specifically notice the very similar ''pointed nose'', that the Rough Green Snake notably lacks. Also note the similar nostril and the very sharp line that passes straight through it's eye. ...Thoughts?

It's up for use if someone wants to add it.

"Tsutarja is a reptilian Grass-type Pokémon. Most of its body is green in coloration, while it has a cream-colored underside. A yellow stripe runs down the length of its back and tail, and it also has yellow markings around its large eyes. Yellow, curved structures protrude from its shoulders and bend backwards. These structures resemble leaves or small wings and give Tsutarja the appearance of wearing a collar. In spite of being snake-like in appearance, it has fully-developed limbs. Its slender arms are the same green color as the rest of its body and have three fingers, while its tiny feet match its underside in coloration and have no digits whatsoever. It has large, palmate leaf with three prongs on the end of its tail.

== About its National number ==

Yes. We know. {{p|Victini}} is #000 in the Isshu dex. This means nothing right now about its National number. Think of it this way: they put Victini at #000 so that you'd not know right off the bat getting it how many other Pokémon there are to find, especially given that it's gonna be an early event, like Manaphy. If you got Mew just after you got your starter in RBY, you'd know there's 151 Pokémon in Kanto. Same with Celebi in GSC, Deoxys in RSE, and so on. This is a failsafe to make Pokémon feel less like "let's see how many they added" and more like "oh, there's so many of these things, I wonder what they all are...". Sure, futile anyway, given that we'll likely have access to the games and have figured out everything by the day after it comes out... but still. An admirable solution to that huge-empty-Pokédex problem we've had since Gen I.

Tsutarja, until further notice, is staying at #494. We cannot assume anything different than it directly following Arceus, just as Chikorita followed Mew, Treecko followed Celebi, and Turtwig followed Deoxys. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:55, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

== Poor Origin Species Choice ==

The Origin Section on Tsutarja's page lables it as "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opheodrys_aestivus Opheodrys aestivus], more commonly known as the rough green snake or green grass snake". I honsetly STRONGLY disagree with this noition. Other than the somewhat-similar color scheme, there's not TOO much in common- the face is WAY too different. I think that Tsutarja is MUCH more likely based on a somewhat-popular species [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/03/Oxybelis_fulgidus_4.jpg known] [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/03/Oxybelis_fulgidus_4.jpg as the] [http://travel.mongabay.com/animals/080923/600/brnxz_711.jpg Vine] [http://www.jmg-galleries.com/blog_images/best_photos_2009/9_TRAVEL_COSTARICA_JMG9804_c.jpeg Snake]. The Vine Snake is a snake species found all throughout the Americas. Specifically notice the very similar ''pointed nose'', that the Rough Green Snake notably lacks. Also note the similar nostril and the very sharp line that passes straight through it's eye. ...Thoughts?

==Physiology for the admins to implement==
Chiramii is a furry, white-colored rodent-like Pokémon, sporting scruffs of fur on its head, ear insides, and neck. Chiramii’s large ears, located to the sides of its head, have red insides partly covered by the aforementioned tufts of fur there. Its eyes are large and brown, with a small, dot-like nose. Its limbs are somewhat rounded and small, and its tail is long and particularly furry. (I hope that this description is phrased well, I felt that it was more repetitive than the others....)

:It doesn't always work like that. The Isshu dex may have Pokémon that are already known, like how Magikarp and Gyarados are found in the Sinnoh dex.

Shouldn't we use a better romanized name, like we did back in [[Generation IV]]? It can be replaced when the trademarked romaji comes out.

From Serebii

<blockquote>The Japanese Trademark database has been updated with a few new trademarks for the Japanese names of the Pokémon. As always, most recently seen with Victini this weekend, the Pokémon get their Japanese names as well as an official romanisation, being the Japanese name stated in English. Usually, we just include the literal translation of the names until we get the romanisation. Well, today we have received the official romanisation for the Pokémon Chiramii (チラーミィ). It's official romanisation is Chillarmy, derived from Chinchilla and army.</blockquote>

:This, sorta. I honestly doubt it is a combination of chinchilla and army. I mean, how exactly does army come into place?

:::Not so much, it's way more likely based on "dark" than "dirt". And also, that -u from "tengu" is gone for no reason, which also obscures the meaning. So still, it doesn't change my point at all. Trademarked Romaji aren't really the "correct" Romaji. They're just used on merch, that's all. They are often made of Engrish and fail to convey the intended meaning (like "Prasle" for Plusle). I don't really see how would Chillarmy be related to army. It doesn't wear a uniform or anything. -army is just an Anglicized phonetic spelling of -aamyi, which probably has some Japanese etymology (or is just some kind of sound effect). "Army" doesn't make any kind of sense. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 20:45, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

We're doing the same thing. --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 15:53, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

== Sweep Binta ==
[http://www.filb.de/1353 Filb.de] has video of Chiramii using a move called スイープビンタ　''Sweep Binta'' on Munna. ''Binta'' translates as "slap in the face". So my guess is this will likely be translated as "Sweep Slap", and it appears to be a multi-hit move.--[[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]][[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 08:20, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

== Chillarmy ==
From Serebii

<blockquote>The Japanese Trademark database has been updated with a few new trademarks for the Japanese names of the Pokémon. As always, most recently seen with Victini this weekend, the Pokémon get their Japanese names as well as an official romanisation, being the Japanese name stated in English. Usually, we just include the literal translation of the names until we get the romanisation. Well, today we have received the official romanisation for the Pokémon Chiramii (チラーミィ). It's official romanisation is Chillarmy, derived from Chinchilla and army.</blockquote>

==Habitat==
Hey, can an admin add to the habitat section that they are known to live in forests? A trailer showed the player walking in a forest, then encountering a wild Chillarmy. [[User:Torngentleman2|MAMOSWINEPwnz! (Torngentleman2)]] 19:28, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

== Army ==

It's just as based on "army" as Himanuts is based on "nuts", Dirteng is based on "dirt" and Dogohmb is based on... nevermind. Don't trust trademarked Romaji. It's just a pile of stupid Engrish. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 20:22, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

:This, sorta. I honestly doubt it is a combination of chinchilla and army. I mean, how exactly does army come into place? According to its translated Pokédex entry, it has nothing in common with troops or anything. I seriously doubt it's 'army'. I think it's possibly a corruption or a shorter form of a different word. And for the record, how do we pronounce its name again? [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 20:25, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
::CHEE RA MEE. Dirteng's definitely a combination of dirt and tengu, though. Its feet and nose indicate that much. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 20:29, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
:::Not so much, it's way more likely based on "dark" than "dirt". And also, that -u from "tengu" is gone for no reason, which also obscures the meaning. So still, it doesn't change my point at all. Trademarked Romaji aren't really the "correct" Romaji. They're just used on merch, that's all. They are often made of Engrish and fail to convey the intended meaning (like "Prasle" for Plusle). I don't really see how would Chillarmy be related to army. It doesn't wear a uniform or anything. -army is just an Anglicized phonetic spelling of -aamyi, which probably has some Japanese etymology (or is just some kind of sound effect). "Army" doesn't make any kind of sense. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 20:45, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
::::I took it to come from the faux word "Charmy" or something. Or just "Charm" with a -y. [[User:M190049|'''''~m190049''''']][[User talk:M190049|'''''~talk''''']] 22:37, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

'''Gallade''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エルレイド''' ''Erlade'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fighting}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation IV]].

He [[Evolution|evolves]] from male {{p|Kirlia}} when exposed to radiation from a [[Dawn Stone]]. It is one of
{{p|Ralts}}'s final forms.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gallade have a white lower body that consists of bold rounded hips with strong legs. The torso is thin and colored in a balance between the green of its upper body, and the white of its lower body. Sharp red hornlike protrusions stick out of the chest and back similar to {{p|Gardevoir}}. Gallade's arms are shaped like {{wp|tonfa}}s, with extendable blades in the elbows. His head resembles a gladiator's helmet, with a white face and a light-teal colored head crest. Like his counterpart Gardevoir, Gallade has spikes on the sides of his face.

====Gender differences====
Gallade is male-only. Some count Gardevoir as his female counterpart, as they both evolve from the same Pokémon, although Gardevoir can be of either gender.

====Special abilities====
Thanks to Gallade's arm blades, which can be withdrawn and extended to two lengths, he can learn a variety of sword-like attacks in several types. These include {{m|Leaf Blade}}, {{m|Night Slash}}, and the rarely known {{m|Psycho Cut}}. As with other {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon, Gallade can summon {{m|Earthquake}}s, and launch rocks at his opponents (in the forms of {{m|Stone Edge}}, {{m|Rock Slide}} or {{m|Rock Tomb}}). It can also learn punching attacks. Since Gallade is a fully-evolved Pokémon, he can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} or {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Gallade are masters of courtesy and swordsmanship, defending the weak from harm.

===Habitat===
Gallade hide up in very tall trees, watching for trouble. When the time is right, they leap from their homes to forewarn civilians or fight enemies.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Gallade.png|thumb|right|210px|Gallade in the anime]]
Gallade made a minor appearance in the 10th movie, ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. One led [[Alice]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} to the area that [[Baron Alberto]] believed {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} had first "infected". He reappeared some time later.

A Gallade under [[Zoey]]'s command made his TV episode debut in [[DP177]] featuring the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] finale.



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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Gallade is a member of the legendary Exploration Team, [[Team Raider]], alongside {{p|Roserade}} and {{p|Rhyperior}}.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Gallade is used by [[Sinis Trio#Ice|Ice]] to protect the blue circuit ball. It was in a three-way boss battle with Heath's {{p|Rhyperior}} and Lavana's {{p|Magmortar}} in the trio's efforts to thwart the player.

==Trivia==
*Gallade's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are the reverse of Gardevoir's.
*Gallade's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] in {{game|Platinum}} and the [[List of Pokémon by Almia Browser number|Almia Browser]] is the same: 160. This makes him and his evolution family one of only four families of Pokémon (comprising eleven Pokémon altogether) to have the same numbers in more than one Pokédex-like listing.
*Gallade is the last {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
*Gallade has the same weight as {{p|Blaziken}}, another dual-typed final form {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon whose first form only has its primary type.
*Gallade is the only Pokémon that is able to learn {{m|Leaf Blade}} naturally that is not of the {{type|Grass}}.
*Gallade is capable of learning attacking moves of 14 of the 17 types, excluding Water, Dragon and Steel.
*Although Gallade can learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} by breeding, it can't learn it by TM.
*Despite what its HeartGold and SoulSilver entries state, Gallade cannot have {{a|Anticipation}}.
*Gallade has the highest Special Defense of all Fighting-type Pokémon.

==Origin==
The single fin on Gallade's head is reminiscent of the {{wp|Murmillo}} helmet worn by murmillo-class Roman gladiators or the {{wp|Corinthian helmet}} (with a horsehair crest) which is worn by Greek Hoplites. Therefore, Gallade may be based on a Roman {{wp|gladiator}} or a Greek {{wp|hoplite}}. It could also be reminiscent of a {{wp|knight}}.
====Name origin====
''Gallade'' may be a combination of ''{{wp|gladiator}}'', ''gallant'', and ''blade''. It may also be a reference to ''{{wp|Galahad|Sir Galahad}}''. ''Erlade'' might be a combination of ''{{wp|Earl}}'' (meaning chieftain), or ''elbow'', and ''blade'', referring to the sword-like appendages on its arms. Or, in accordance with the musical origin of Ralt's and the French Gardevoir, it could be based on "ballade," French for "ballad" and also a type of French poetry.

'''Piloswine''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イノムー''' ''Inomoo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Swinub}} starting at [[level]] 33, and evolves into {{p|Mamoswine}} when leveled up while knowing {{m|AncientPower}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[Image:Dawn's Piloswine's eyes.jpg|[[Dawn's Piloswine]]'s eyes|right|thumb]]
Piloswine are big brown furry Pokémon that have an impressive hump on their backs, giving them a hunchbacked appearance. They also have two tusks made of ice, which seem small but can be pretty lethal, and floppy ears which are sensitive to sound. Piloswine’s shaggy coat makes it unable to see, so it checks surroundings with its sensitive pig-like nose instead. Piloswine’s hair is so long that it usually covers its small, hooved legs.
In the 3-D Pokémon console games, as well as the anime, it is shown that Piloswine has two beady eyes in its head; however, these are usually covered up by tufts of fur.

====Gender differences====
A female Piloswine has shorter tusks than a male.

====Special abilities====

Although its legs are short, its rugged hooves give it sure footing even on icy ground. As an dual {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon, Piloswine can also use a variety of moves from both types. Its tusks of ice thicken when it snows.

===Behavior===
Piloswine are strong, brave, and undeniably stubborn. Wild Piloswine jealously guard their herd's territory, driving off any creatures that trespass. Domesticated Piloswine are loyal to a fault. There are stories of Piloswine who refuse to go down no matter how hard a battle becomes in an attempt to live up to their trainer's expectations of them.

If Piloswine charges at an enemy, the hairs on its back stand up straight. It is very sensitive to sound, and because its long hair obscures its sight, it will continue charging repeatedly.
[[Image:Cave.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
===Habitat===
Piloswine tend to inhabit cold places, such as icy caves, mountainous regions and frozen tundra.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Piloswine.png|thumb|right|210px|Piloswine in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Dawn's Piloswine]]====
{{an|Dawn}}'s {{p|Swinub}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Piloswine in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle]]''. It later evolved into {{p|Mamoswine}} in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''.

====Other====
[[Pryce's Piloswine]] first appeared in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]''. [[Pryce]] thought that his Piloswine had abandoned him when he was a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] after the two of them got hit by a {{p|Magmar}}'s {{m|Fire Blast}} and thus became cold and bitter. When Pryce found his Piloswine in a cave and frozen solid with a Burn-Healing Herb, Pryce let go of his coldness. Pryce used his Piloswine in the [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}} in the [[EP238|following episode]].

===Minor appearances===
Piloswine made its animated debut in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' as one of the Pokémon captured in the Poacher's cage at the start of the film. Its appearance in the film was very brief, lasting barely a second.

In ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]'' during the chase between the [[Pichu Brothers]] and a {{p|Houndour}}, the Pichu Brothers disguised themselves as a Piloswine but the Houndour wasn't easily fooled and eventually dismantled the disguise, revealing the Pichu Brothers.

{{Animedexbody|DP104|Piloswine|Dawn's Pokédex|Piloswine, the Swine Pokémon and the evolved form of {{p|Swinub}}. Piloswine's entire body is covered with fur, which makes it hard to see, so it uses its nose to sense its environment instead.}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Piloswine appeared in {{PAV|9}} under the control of [[Keane]], who used its sheer power to devastate [[Ecruteak City]] with an {{m|Earthquake}}. However, {{adv|Silver}} defeated it easily with {{adv|Gold}}'s [[Poltaro|Politoed]].

==Trivia==
* Prior to Generation IV, Piloswine can learn {{m|AncientPower}} by {{pkmn|breeding}} or by evolution of a [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow]] {{p|Swinub}} caught in {{Pokémon XD}}. Despite this, it cannot evolve into {{p|Mamoswine}} in those generations because Mamoswine did not yet exist. This makes it and {{p|Lickitung}} the only Pokémon which could not evolve even if the criteria were met because their evolved forms were not yet created.
* Of all the [[Methods of evolution#When the Pokémon knows a certain move|Pokémon that need to know a certain move to evolve]], Piloswine is the only one that has already evolved once.
** It is also the only one of the move-based evolutions that does not learn the required move at a specific level. However, AncientPower is in Piloswine's list of level up moves and thus can be recovered by a [[move relearner]] in exchange for a [[Heart Scale]].
*Pryce's Piloswine was defeated by {{AP|Pikachu}} with several {{m|Thunderbolt}}s with great effect, despite Piloswine being a {{type|Ground}}.
*The first syllable in Piloswine's name is pronounced with a short "i" by the announcer in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; in keeping with its name origin, it is pronounced with a long "i" in the [[Pokémon anime |anime]].

===Origin===
Piloswine's size/appearance seem to be based off a mix of a {{wp|yak}}, whose mountainous habitat echoes that of the [[Ice Path]] in Northern Johto, and a {{wp|boar}}. It also share traits with Mastodons/Mammoths the latter of which is expressed in its later evolution.

====Name origin====
A combination of ''pilose'', meaning "covered in distinct hairs", and ''swine'' (pig). Pilo may also come from the {{wp|Pliocene}} period, which is the period the arctic ice cap formed, or ''pillow'', referring to its puffy nature.

Its Japanese name may be a combination of 猪 ''inoshishi'', boar, and ブーブー ''bū bū'', an {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for oinking.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Keifel - From ''Keiler'' (boar) and ''Fell'' (fur). Possibly also from ''keifen'' (to nag or shriek).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cochignon - From ''cochon'' (pig) and ''chignon'' (hair bun).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 메꾸리 ''Mekkuri''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 長毛豬 ''Cháng Máo Zhū'' - Literally "Long-haired hog". 長毛 can be derived from 長毛象 ''Chángmáoxiàng'' ({{wp|mammoth}}).

'''Piloswine''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イノムー''' ''Inomoo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Swinub}} starting at [[level]] 33, and evolves into {{p|Mamoswine}} when leveled up while knowing {{m|AncientPower}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[Image:Dawn's Piloswine's eyes.jpg|[[Dawn's Piloswine]]'s eyes|right|thumb]]
Piloswine are big brown furry Pokémon that have an impressive hump on their backs, giving them a hunchbacked appearance. They also have two tusks made of ice, which seem small but can be pretty lethal, and floppy ears which are sensitive to sound. Piloswine’s shaggy coat makes it unable to see, so it checks surroundings with its sensitive pig-like nose instead. Piloswine’s hair is so long that it usually covers its small, hooved legs.
In the 3-D Pokémon console games, as well as the anime, it is shown that Piloswine has two beady eyes in its head; however, these are usually covered up by tufts of fur.

====Gender differences====
A female Piloswine has shorter tusks than a male.

====Special abilities====

Although its legs are short, its rugged hooves give it sure footing even on icy ground. As an dual {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon, Piloswine can also use a variety of moves from both types. Its tusks of ice thicken when it snows.

===Behavior===
Piloswine are strong, brave, and undeniably stubborn. Wild Piloswine jealously guard their herd's territory, driving off any creatures that trespass. Domesticated Piloswine are loyal to a fault. There are stories of Piloswine who refuse to go down no matter how hard a battle becomes in an attempt to live up to their trainer's expectations of them.

If Piloswine charges at an enemy, the hairs on its back stand up straight. It is very sensitive to sound, and because its long hair obscures its sight, it will continue charging repeatedly.
[[Image:Cave.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
===Habitat===
Piloswine tend to inhabit cold places, such as icy caves, mountainous regions and frozen tundra.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Piloswine.png|thumb|right|210px|Piloswine in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Dawn's Piloswine]]====
{{an|Dawn}}'s {{p|Swinub}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Piloswine in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle]]''. It later evolved into {{p|Mamoswine}} in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''.

====Other====
[[Pryce's Piloswine]] first appeared in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]''. [[Pryce]] thought that his Piloswine had abandoned him when he was a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] after the two of them got hit by a {{p|Magmar}}'s {{m|Fire Blast}} and thus became cold and bitter. When Pryce found his Piloswine in a cave and frozen solid with a Burn-Healing Herb, Pryce let go of his coldness. Pryce used his Piloswine in the [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}} in the [[EP238|following episode]].

===Minor appearances===
Piloswine made its animated debut in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' as one of the Pokémon captured in the Poacher's cage at the start of the film. Its appearance in the film was very brief, lasting barely a second.

In ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]'' during the chase between the [[Pichu Brothers]] and a {{p|Houndour}}, the Pichu Brothers disguised themselves as a Piloswine but the Houndour wasn't easily fooled and eventually dismantled the disguise, revealing the Pichu Brothers.

{{Animedexbody|DP104|Piloswine|Dawn's Pokédex|Piloswine, the Swine Pokémon and the evolved form of {{p|Swinub}}. Piloswine's entire body is covered with fur, which makes it hard to see, so it uses its nose to sense its environment instead.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Piloswine appeared in {{PAV|9}} under the control of [[Keane]], who used its sheer power to devastate [[Ecruteak City]] with an {{m|Earthquake}}. However, {{adv|Silver}} defeated it easily with {{adv|Gold}}'s [[Poltaro|Politoed]].

==Trivia==
* Prior to Generation IV, Piloswine can learn {{m|AncientPower}} by {{pkmn|breeding}} or by evolution of a [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow]] {{p|Swinub}} caught in {{Pokémon XD}}. Despite this, it cannot evolve into {{p|Mamoswine}} in those generations because Mamoswine did not yet exist. This makes it and {{p|Lickitung}} the only Pokémon which could not evolve even if the criteria were met because their evolved forms were not yet created.
* Of all the [[Methods of evolution#When the Pokémon knows a certain move|Pokémon that need to know a certain move to evolve]], Piloswine is the only one that has already evolved once.

** It is also the only one of the move-based evolutions that does not learn the required move at a specific level. However, AncientPower is in Piloswine's list of level up moves and thus can be recovered by a [[move relearner]] in exchange for a [[Heart Scale]].
*Pryce's Piloswine was defeated by {{AP|Pikachu}} with several {{m|Thunderbolt}}s with great effect, despite Piloswine being a {{type|Ground}}.
*The first syllable in Piloswine's name is pronounced with a short "i" by the announcer in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; in keeping with its name origin, it is pronounced with a long "i" in the [[Pokémon anime |anime]].

===Origin===
Piloswine's size/appearance seem to be based off a mix of a {{wp|yak}}, whose mountainous habitat echoes that of the [[Ice Path]] in Northern Johto, and a {{wp|boar}}. It also share traits with Mastodons/Mammoths the latter of which is expressed in its later evolution.

====Name origin====
A combination of ''pilose'', meaning "covered in distinct hairs", and ''swine'' (pig). Pilo may also come from the {{wp|Pliocene}} period, which is the period the arctic ice cap formed, or ''pillow'', referring to its puffy nature.

Its Japanese name may be a combination of 猪 ''inoshishi'', boar, and ブーブー ''bū bū'', an {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for oinking.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Keifel - From ''Keiler'' (boar) and ''Fell'' (fur). Possibly also from ''keifen'' (to nag or shriek).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cochignon - From ''cochon'' (pig) and ''chignon'' (hair bun).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 메꾸리 ''Mekkuri''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 長毛豬 ''Cháng Máo Zhū'' - Literally "Long-haired hog". 長毛 can be derived from 長毛象 ''Chángmáoxiàng'' ({{wp|mammoth}}).

'''Scizor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハッサム''' ''Hassam'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scyther}} via [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|trade]] with a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Scizor has a similar appearance to its evolutionary predecessor {{p|Scyther}}, except with a thick, red metallic exoskeleton, which comes at the expense of much of the speed Scyther had, but makes up for it by having a higher Defense and Attack. Scizor also has crab-like claws, with yellow-and-black eye-like patterns on them that bear a faint resemblance to a {{p|Trapinch}}'s head. Scizor has two-toed feet with one clawed toe in front and the other in the back. Scizor has a pair of retractable, two-lobed wings, similar to that of a butterfly. Aside from its primarily red coloration, Scizor has accentuations of black on its neck, chest, and abdomen, and yellow eyes.
====Gender differences====
The female Scizor has a bigger abdomen than the male.
====Special abilities====
Scizor's abilities are basically stronger versions of Scyther's. However, it cannot match its pre-evolution's speed. It is however, stronger and much more durable, and capable of learning Steel-type moves.

===Behavior===
Scizor are known to upraise their claws and wave them around to scare others, as their claws look like two heads. A Scizor's wings are not meant for flying but rather used to cool down body temperature; however, Scizor have been seen being able to 'glide' with their wings in the anime, by doing things such as riding wind currents, suggesting their wings still posses minimal flight capability.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Vicious's Dark Scizor.png|thumb|220px|right|In ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', under the ownership of [[Iron-Masked Marauder]]]]
===Major appearances===
Scizor was first seen under the ownership of a Trainer named [[Shingo]] who thought he could always predict the outcome of a match by the database on his computer in ''[[EP140|Wired For Battle]]''.

The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] used a Scizor to retrieve {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

[[Gary Oak]] used a Scizor against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]''

In ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'', [[Katie]] used a Scizor to battle [[Ash's Swellow]] during the [[Hoenn]] League. Katie's Scizor lost.

In ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', a girl named [[Luna]] had a Scizor disguise itself as "Red Lightning". Red Lightning went around a city, battling other people's Pokémon. Red Lightning would then scribble on the defeated Pokémon's face. The disguised Scizor's reign of terror ended when [[Ash's Pikachu]] blasted its costume off and [[Ash's Sceptile]] defeated it in battle.

[[Image:McCann Scizor.png|thumb|right|220px|Scizor in the anime]]
A Scizor under the ownership of [[McCann]] battled {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP154|Mastering Current Events!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Scizor also appeared in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]'' under the ownership of a girl named [[Minnie]]. It fought against [[Brock's Croagunk|Jessie's Croagunk]] and lost.

A Scizor appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', used to cut Jessie's hair as it was tangled with James's Cacnea.

A Scizor appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

Another one appeared in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[Image:Green_Scizor.jpg|thumb|right|Scizor in Adventures]]
Scizor is first seen in {{PAV|9}} under the control of {{adv|Blue}}, having evolved from his {{p|Scyther}} prior to the events of the volume. He brings it on his journey to the [[Sevii Islands]].

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Scizor is a more dangerous version of {{p|Marill}}. Not only does it do more damage but it will also jump around the screen targeting an opponent.

====Trophy information====
This evolved form of {{p|Scyther}} has arms ending in large pincers with distinctive eye-spot markings. It's unable to fly very far with its wings, but it can affect its body temperature by flapping them at high speeds. Its sleek look has made Scizor quite popular among collectors.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*{{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Go-Rock Quads|Garret]] uses a Scizor in his attempts to stop the player.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Scizor is a famous explorer who is captured by {{p|Froslass}} in ice for several decades. The player defeats Froslass and frees Scizor, who bestows the Secret Rank upon the player's team in gratitude.

==Trivia==
{{bad picture|section|jpg and slightly blurry }}
[[Image:TheRedInazumaofSkyscraper.jpg|right|thumb|A Scizor {{m|fly}}ing in the anime]]
* Although Scizor cannot learn the move {{m|Fly}}, and its [[Pokédex]] entries (as well as in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]) say that Scizor doesn't use its wings to fly, Scizor has been seen being able to still use its wings to 'glide' in the anime. In the anime episode ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', Brock notes that the gusts of wind blowing around the tall buildings on which they stood were helping {{ka|Luna}}'s Scizor to 'fly' around them.
* Scizor shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Kingler}}. They are both known as Pincer Pokémon, though Scizor has also been called the Scissors Pokémon.
* Despite having different base stats, Scizor and its pre-evolution, {{p|Scyther}}, have the same base stat total: 500.
* Scizor is one of the only three Pokémon to gain [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] from {{m|Steel Wing}}. The other two are {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Empoleon}}.
*Scizor has the highest {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon and is second only to {{p|Metagross}} for highest Attack of all {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Scizor appears to share characteristics with flying red {{wp|ant}}s and {{wp|praying mantis}}es. It also somewhat resembles the {{wp|Moth Man}}.

====Name origin====
Scizor's name is a combination of ''{{wp|Scissors|scissor}}'' and {{wp|razor}}.

Its Japanese name is a corruption of 剪む ''hasamu'', to clip or snip.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Scherox - From ''Schere'' (scissors) and possibly ''ferox'' (Latin for wild) or ''{{wp|oxidation}}'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cizayox - From a corruption of ''ciseaux'' (scissors), and possibly ''oxidation'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 핫삼 ''Hassam''

Transportation in the Pokémon world

2010-05-01T23:49:41Z

M190049: /* S.S. Cactus */

{{Unsatisfactory}}
There are various methods of '''transportation''' used in the [[Pokémon world]].

==Land==
===Shoes===
====Normal shoes====
These are the primary way of getting around in the games. The {{player}} starts with these, and with them is able to walk around. They are used by using the directional controls only.

====Running shoes====
Introduced in [[Generation III]], the [[running shoes]] are a pair of shoes that allow the player to run by holding down the B button in conjunction with the directional pad. Running is not allowed in many buildings, however, until [[Generation IV]]. Running speed is affected by terrain, such as marshes and snow. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Running Shoes can be permanently activated using the touch screen.

===Cycles===
====Bikes====

[[Image:Ash riding Misty's bike.JPG|200px|thumb|right|{{Ash}} "borrows" [[Misty]]'s bike]]

=====Generation I and II=====
In the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games, as well as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there is only a basic [[bicycle]] which is sold by [[Miracle Cycle]]. Only one obstacle is passable solely by bicycle, and that is {{ka|Cycling Road}}. Bicycling is disallowed in most buildings.

=====Generation III=====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there are two types of bicycle: the {{DL|Bicycle|Mach Bike}} and {{DL|Bicycle|Acro Bike}}. They can be swapped at [[Rydel's Cycles]] in [[Mauville City]].

The Mach Bike can move so fast that it can climb muddy slopes or pass over weak ground without falling through. If the player collides with something, the speed at which they are traveling will reset. On the [[Seaside Cycling Road]], the player's time and amount of collisions are recorded, and will be sent over to another player if the records are swapped. In addition, there is a period of two blocks of acceleration and deceleration when traveling on the Mach Bike, which makes immediate stops impossible.

The Acro Bike has the same speed as the bikes in earlier games, but can climb rocks in areas like {{rt|112}} and travel on white rails on {{rt|119}} and other places. In addition, if the B button is held while on the Acro Bike, the player will perform a wheelie. If the B button and directional pad are used together, the player is able to bunny hop over small gaps.

=====Generation IV=====
In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, only one bicycle is available. This, however, has two gears which can be changed by pressing the B button, allowing [[Bike obstacles|obstacles]] to be jumped over with sufficient speed. Unlike the previous generations, bikes cannot be ridden in any buildings in Diamond and Pearl. This was changed in Platinum. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the bike only has one speed, as in Generation II. Unlike Generation II, however, it is given to the player for free by the owner of Miracle Cycle.

=====In the anime=====
Bikes are used at various times in the anime, most notably when {{Ash}} borrows [[Misty]]'s bike, but crashes, thus ruining it. This bike is alluded to frequently throughout the first few seasons as a reason Misty is angry at Ash. All of the main female characters owned bikes, which were eventually destroyed. In the [[Diamond and Pearl]] saga, when Ash and the gang are traveling on [[Cycling Road]], they use bikes. {{an|Barry}} is also seen with a Bike in [[DP157]].

===={{wp|Motorbike}}s====
=====In the games=====
[[Image:Wes's Motorcycle.png|left|thumb|Wes's motorcycle, as seen in the beginning of {{game|Colosseum}}.]]

====[[S.S. Anne#Rumors|S.S. Anne truck]]====
A truck is located in a normally inaccessible part of the S.S. Anne, in Red and Blue, there are rumors that one can get a Mew or a rare item by using {{m|Strength}} on it. However, these proved to be false. In FireRed and LeafGreen, if you use the [[Itemfinder]] to look for an item near the truck, a Lava Cookie can be found instead, as a reference to the rumors.

===Trains===
====Magnet Train====
The [[Magnet Train]] runs between [[Saffron City]] and [[Goldenrod City]] in the Generation II games and their Generation IV remakes, and was constructed some time after [[Generation I]]. To ride it, a person needs a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Pass}}, which was given to those displaced by the train stations' construction. A Pass can be received by the Copycat if the player returns her doll which was given to her by the player in Generation I and III and found by a person in Vermilion City.

====Freight Train====
A freight train appeared in ''[[PK12|Camp Pikachu]]''. It consisted of a red steam locomotive, numerous freight wagons and a passenger carriage at the rear. It runs on a line in the mountainous areas of [[Johto]]. The [[Pichu Brothers]] enjoy going for rides on it. The [[PokéPark#The Pichu Brothers#Rascal Railway|Pichu Brothers' Rascal Railway]] at [[PokéPark]] is likely based on this train.

====Ampharos Train====
A train powered solely by [[Ampharos Train crew|an Ampharos]] that runs between [[Snowpoint City]] and [[Lake Acuity]] in [[Sinnoh]]. It was featured in ''[[DP130|Frozen on Their Tracks]]''.

It is not specifically known where the boat ran between, though based on its location, one could assume it might have stopped at either Slateport City or [[Dewford Town]]. In present day, many Pokémon live in, and lots of trainers enjoy exploring and training on the boat, known as the '''Abandoned Ship'''.

====Seagallop Ferries====

The [[Seagallop Ferries]] run between [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]] and each of the nine [[Sevii Islands]].

There are currently four known tickets that can be used to board a Seagallop Ferry: The {{DL|Sevii Island passes|Tri-Pass}} allows the holder to travel to [[Knot Island|Knot]], [[Boon Island|Boon]] and [[Kin Island|Kin]] Islands, the {{DL|Sevii Island passes|Rainbow Pass}} to the same three islands, as well as [[Floe Island|Floe]], [[Chrono Island|Chrono]], [[Fortune Island|Fortune]], and [[Quest Island|Quest]] Islands, the [[Mysticticket]] allows travel to [[Navel Rock]], and the [[Aurora Ticket]] allows travel to [[Birth Island]].

===[[Pokémon]]===
[[File:Riding on Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Pokémon riding on Pokémon]]
Pokémon are also used occasionally for transportation. People, as well as Pokémon themselves, may ride on Pokémon for various reasons. This is mostly seen in races, wherein only Pokémon may be used to move around. This was first notable in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', where Ash and his friends joined a race. Ash and his friends also used {{AP|Lapras}} in going around the [[Orange Archipelago]].

Ash's {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon were rode on many times, mostly by {{AP|Pikachu}} for looking for something or attacking [[Team Rocket]]'s balloon. Pikachu rode on {{AP|Butterfree}} in episodes such as ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''. It also rode on Pidgeotto, Swellow and Staraptor, Ash's bird-based Pokémon, multiple times.

Transportation in the Pokémon world

2010-05-01T23:46:50Z

M190049: /* Water */

{{Unsatisfactory}}
There are various methods of '''transportation''' used in the [[Pokémon world]].

==Land==
===Shoes===
====Normal shoes====
These are the primary way of getting around in the games. The {{player}} starts with these, and with them is able to walk around. They are used by using the directional controls only.

====Running shoes====
Introduced in [[Generation III]], the [[running shoes]] are a pair of shoes that allow the player to run by holding down the B button in conjunction with the directional pad. Running is not allowed in many buildings, however, until [[Generation IV]]. Running speed is affected by terrain, such as marshes and snow. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Running Shoes can be permanently activated using the touch screen.

===Cycles===
====Bikes====

[[Image:Ash riding Misty's bike.JPG|200px|thumb|right|{{Ash}} "borrows" [[Misty]]'s bike]]

=====Generation I and II=====
In the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games, as well as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there is only a basic [[bicycle]] which is sold by [[Miracle Cycle]]. Only one obstacle is passable solely by bicycle, and that is {{ka|Cycling Road}}. Bicycling is disallowed in most buildings.

=====Generation III=====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there are two types of bicycle: the {{DL|Bicycle|Mach Bike}} and {{DL|Bicycle|Acro Bike}}. They can be swapped at [[Rydel's Cycles]] in [[Mauville City]].

The Mach Bike can move so fast that it can climb muddy slopes or pass over weak ground without falling through. If the player collides with something, the speed at which they are traveling will reset. On the [[Seaside Cycling Road]], the player's time and amount of collisions are recorded, and will be sent over to another player if the records are swapped. In addition, there is a period of two blocks of acceleration and deceleration when traveling on the Mach Bike, which makes immediate stops impossible.

The Acro Bike has the same speed as the bikes in earlier games, but can climb rocks in areas like {{rt|112}} and travel on white rails on {{rt|119}} and other places. In addition, if the B button is held while on the Acro Bike, the player will perform a wheelie. If the B button and directional pad are used together, the player is able to bunny hop over small gaps.

=====Generation IV=====
In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, only one bicycle is available. This, however, has two gears which can be changed by pressing the B button, allowing [[Bike obstacles|obstacles]] to be jumped over with sufficient speed. Unlike the previous generations, bikes cannot be ridden in any buildings in Diamond and Pearl. This was changed in Platinum. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the bike only has one speed, as in Generation II. Unlike Generation II, however, it is given to the player for free by the owner of Miracle Cycle.

=====In the anime=====
Bikes are used at various times in the anime, most notably when {{Ash}} borrows [[Misty]]'s bike, but crashes, thus ruining it. This bike is alluded to frequently throughout the first few seasons as a reason Misty is angry at Ash. All of the main female characters owned bikes, which were eventually destroyed.

{{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} went on a {{p|Wailord}}-shaped Steam Boat in ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies!]]''.

Pokémon are also used occasionally for transportation. People, as well as Pokémon themselves, may ride on Pokémon for various reasons. This is mostly seen in races, wherein only Pokémon may be used to move around. This was first notable in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', where Ash and his friends joined a race. Ash and his friends also used {{AP|Lapras}} in going around the [[Orange Archipelago]].

Ash's {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon were rode on many times, mostly by {{AP|Pikachu}} for looking for something or attacking [[Team Rocket]]'s balloon. Pikachu rode on {{AP|Butterfree}} in episodes such as ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''. It also rode on Pidgeotto, Swellow and Staraptor, Ash's bird-based Pokémon, multiple times.

User is too lazy to create an adequate user page.

He will maybe make one someday... Maybe.

Probably not.

Woo.

In the mean time, to the right, you can find the art for {{p|Scizor}}, his favorite Pokémon.

'''Scizor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハッサム''' ''Hassam'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scyther}} via [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|trade]] with a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Scizor has a similar appearance to its evolutionary predecessor {{p|Scyther}}, except with a thick, red metallic exoskeleton, which comes at the expense of much of the speed Scyther had, but makes up for it by having a higher Defense and Attack. Scizor also has crab-like claws, with yellow-and-black eye-like patterns on them that bear a faint resemblance to a {{p|Trapinch}}'s head. Scizor has two-toed feet with one clawed toe in front and the other in the back. Scizor has two-lobed wings like a butterfly. Aside from its primarily red coloration, Scizor has accentuations of black on its neck, chest, and abdomen, and yellow eyes.
====Gender differences====
The female Scizor has a bigger abdomen than the male.
====Special abilities====
Scizor's abilities are basically stronger versions of Scyther's. However, it cannot match its pre-evolution's speed. It is however, stronger and much more durable, and capable of learning Steel-type moves.

===Behavior===
Scizor are known to upraise their claws and wave them around to scare others, as their claws look like two heads. A Scizor's wings are not meant for flying but rather used to cool down body temperature; however, Scizor have been seen flying with wings in the anime.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[Image:Vicious's Dark Scizor.png|thumb|220px|right|In ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', under the ownership of [[Iron-Masked Marauder]]]]
===Major appearances===
Scizor was first seen under the ownership of a Trainer named [[Shingo]] who thought he could always predict the outcome of a match by the database on his computer in ''[[EP140|Wired For Battle]]''.

The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] used a Scizor to retrieve {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

[[Gary Oak]] used a Scizor against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]''

In ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'', [[Katie]] used a Scizor to battle [[Ash's Swellow]] during the [[Hoenn]] League. Katie's Scizor lost.

In ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', a girl named [[Luna]] had a Scizor disguise itself as "Red Lightning". Red Lightning went around a city, battling other people's Pokémon. Red Lightning would then scribble on the defeated Pokémon's face. The disguised Scizor's reign of terror ended when [[Ash's Pikachu]] blasted its costume off and [[Ash's Sceptile]] defeated it in battle.

[[Image:McCann Scizor.png|thumb|right|220px|Scizor in the anime]]
A Scizor under the ownership of [[McCann]] battled {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP154|Mastering Current Events!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Scizor also appeared in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]'' under the ownership of a girl named [[Minnie]]. It fought against [[Brock's Croagunk|Jessie's Croagunk]] and lost.

A Scizor appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', used to cut Jessie's hair as it was tangled with James's Cacnea.

A Scizor appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

Another one appeared in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]''.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Scizor is a more dangerous version of {{p|Marill}}. Not only does it do more damage but it will fly around the screen targeting an opponent.

====Trophy information====
This evolved form of {{p|Scyther}} has arms ending in large pincers with distinctive eye-spot markings. It's unable to fly very far with its wings, but it can affect its body temperature by flapping them at high speeds. Its sleek look has made Scizor quite popular among collectors.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*{{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Go-Rock Quads|Garret]] uses a Scizor in his attempts to stop the player.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Scizor is a famous explorer who is captured by {{p|Froslass}} in ice for several decades. The player defeats Froslass and frees Scizor, who bestows the Secret Rank upon the player's team in gratitude.

==Trivia==
{{bad picture|section|jpg and slightly blurry }}
[[Image:TheRedInazumaofSkyscraper.jpg|right|thumb|A Scizor {{m|fly}}ing in the anime]]
* Although Scizor cannot learn the move {{m|Fly}}, and its [[Pokédex]] entries (as well as in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]) say that Scizor doesn't use its wings to fly, Scizor has a modified version of flying in the anime. In the anime episode ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', Brock notes that the gusts of wind blowing around the tall buildings on which they stood were helping {{ka|Luna}}'s Scizor to 'fly' around them.
* Scizor shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Kingler}}. They are both known as Pincer Pokémon, though Scizor has also been called the Scissors Pokémon.
* Despite having different base stats, Scizor and its pre-evolution, {{p|Scyther}}, have the same base stat total: 500.
* Scizor is one of the only three Pokémon to gain [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] from {{m|Steel Wing}}. The other two are {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Empoleon}}.
*Scizor has the highest {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon and is second only to {{p|Metagross}} for highest Attack of all {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Scizor appears to share characteristics with flying red {{wp|ant}}s and {{wp|praying mantis}}es. It also somewhat resembles the {{wp|Moth Man}}.

====Name origin====
Scizor's name is a combination of ''{{wp|Scissors|scissor}}'' and {{wp|razor}}.

Its Japanese name is a corruption of 剪む ''hasamu'', to clip or snip.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Scherox - From ''Schere'' (scissors) and possibly ''ferox'' (Latin for wild) or ''{{wp|oxidation}}'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cizayox - From a corruption of ''ciseaux'' (scissors), and possibly ''oxidation'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 핫삼 ''Hassam''

'''Yellow Forest''' (Japanese: '''きいろのもり''' ''Yellow Forest'') is an area in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It was first announced on [[Pokémon Sunday]], exactly forty days before the games' release in Japan.

It can be accessed on the [[Pokéwalker]] after the {{player}} obtains the Route's Route Map from a [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|Wi-Fi]] event. The only Pokémon that reside in Yellow Forest are {{p|Pikachu}}, some of which are said to know the move {{m|Fly}}. Pikachu captured in the forest can also know moves such as {{m|Volt Tackle}}, {{m|Flail}}, and even {{m|Surf}}.

Lake guardians

2010-03-31T20:19:03Z

M190049: /* Trivia */

[[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|right|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf]]
The '''lake guardians''', sometimes referred to as the '''lake trio''' or the '''legendary pixies''', is a term used to describe the [[legendary trio]] residing in the three lakes of [[Sinnoh]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. They are meant to represent knowledge, emotion, and willpower, respectively. They are based off of the {{wp|Imperial Regalia of Japan}}: the {{wp|Yata no Kagami}} (wisdom), {{wp|Yasakani no Magatama}} (benevolence), and {{wp|Kusanagi}} (valor).

Unlike previous trios, all three of the lake trio are of a single type, the {{type2|Psychic}}, though like the others, they share an [[ability]]: {{a|Levitate}}. According to [[Sinnoh myths|legend]], when {{p|Arceus}} created the universe it created Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, and therefore is believed to be their [[Trio master|master]]. According to one of Azelf's Pokédex entries, all three of them were born from the same egg.

It is interesting to note that each of the members of the lake trio has one of the qualities of the {{wp|Abrahamic God}}: Uxie is omniscient, Mesprit is omnipresent, and Azelf is omnipotent. They could also be equated to, respectively, the Greek/Roman deities of {{wp|Athena}}/{{wp|Minerva}}, {{wp|Poseidon}}/[[wp:Neptune (mythology)|Neptune]], and {{wp|Zeus}}/[[wp:Jupiter (mythology)|Jupiter]]. Another parallel for the trio rest within {{wp|Norse Mythology}}. {{wp|Odin}} along with his brothers {{wp|Vili and Vé}} bestow upon {{wp|Ask and Embala}} various corporeal and spiritual gifts similar to those the trio represent. Odin gave soul and life; Vili gave wit (intelligence) and sense of touch; and Vé gave countenance (appearance, facial expression), speech, hearing, and sight. It should also be noted that parts of their name come from fantasy creatures, {{wp|pixie}}s, {{wp|sprite}}s and {{wp|elf|elves}}, respectively. The other parts of their names come from pronouns: you ('''U'''xie), me ('''Me'''sprit), and us ('''Az'''elf).

The members of the lake trio are tied for the lightest legendary Pokémon, and, tied with {{p|Rotom}}, are second for the lightest of all Pokémon (after {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}).

==In the games==
===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
The three pixies are obtainable after the defeat of [[Team Galactic]] at [[Mt. Coronet]]. Uxie resides at the northern tip of Sinnoh, [[Acuity Cavern]]; Mesprit, after being encountered in [[Verity Cavern]], will roam throughout Sinnoh; and Azelf sits at the mid-eastern part of Sinnoh, sitting in [[Valor Cavern]].

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
The three are also found in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness, and]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]]. They are found in three different lakes and are in charge of protecting three [[Time Gears]].

==In the anime==
{{main|Lake guardians (anime)}}
[[File:Mesprit Azelf Uxie anime.png|thumb|250px|In the anime]]
All three first appeared in forms similar to souls, floating above their respective lakes, to the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}'s main characters. Mesprit appeared to {{an|Dawn}} during the start of her journey in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', Azelf appeared to {{Ash}} during the duration of the [[Wallace Cup]] in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' and Uxie appeared to Brock while he was looking for a [[berry]] in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''. Due to these encounters, all three established a connection to the human they each met.

They appeared in their physical forms for the first time in ''[[DP151|The Needs of Three!]]'', wherein, after being hired by [[Team Galactic]], [[J]] was able to capture all three of them. Team Galactic was then able to control them using red gems. With their power, [[Cyrus]] was able to summon {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} during [[DP152|the next episode]].

When the gems were broken by {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, the three were set free from Team Galactic's control. They then helped Ash and his friends stop the effects of summoning Dialga and Palkia.

==Trivia==
* The two circles in each of the Pokémon's caves are the relative positions of the other two, when compared to a map of Sinnoh.
* The lake trio is the only trio whose members are all the same type. However, the [[legendary birds]] and the [[dragon trio]] share secondary types.
* The lake trio are the first set of [[legendary Pokémon]] since the legendary birds to have their names changed for the English language versions of the game - from Yuxie, Emrit, and Agnome to {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}.
* The lake trio help the player through the [[Distortion World]] in {{game|Platinum}}.
* The lake trio contains the three {{wp|subtractive colors}} of yellow (Uxie), magenta (Mesprit) and cyan (Azelf).
** In addition; they share the same main colors with {{p|Cresselia}}.
* The trio's encounter music is a different version of their cavern music.
* None of the lake trio can learn [[HM]] moves.
* Each of the members' abilities have some connection to a Pokemon's stat. Uxie gives knowledge (ability), Mesprit gives emotions (nature and happiness), and Azelf gives willpower (stats and moves).
* Each member of the lake trio has appeared to one of the three current main characters of the {{pkmn|anime}}:
** Mesprit appeared to {{an|Dawn}}, highlighting her ability to understand what Pokémon feel, in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage]]''.
** Azelf appeared to {{Ash}}, highlighting his courageous actions without fear of his own harm, in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]''.
** Uxie appeared to [[Brock]], highlighting his superior knowledge of Pokémon to his companions, in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''.
***Coincidentally, the genders of the three main characters are parallel to the trio's genders in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].
*The lake guardians are sometimes referred to in Japan as the "UMA trio" or "UMA combination", with "UMA" standing for "unidentified mysterious animal". Coincidentally, "UMA" is the initials of their English names.
*All members of the lake guardians learn sacrificing moves at level 76. Uxie to lower both attack stats of the opponent, Mesprit to heal a party member, and Azelf to highly damage the opponent.
*The Lake guardians are the only trio that have not been featured in any of the Ranger games.

'''Unown''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アンノーン''' ''Unknown'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. However, as of [[Generation III#Kanto|Generation III]], Unown has 28 derivative shapes. There are 26 English alphabet characters, plus two punctuation marks: ''?'' (question mark) and ''!'' (exclamation mark). Its shape is determined by its [[personality value]].

==Biology==
They tend to stick to walls or orbit other Unown when in a group.

===Physiology===
Unown are floating, flat, eye-shaped Pokémon with appendages that make them resemble letters. They are black all over.

====Gender differences====
This Pokémon is genderless.

====Different forms====
Unown has 28 different forms, one for each letter of the alphabet, as well as '!' and '?'. These are chronicled in the [[Unown Dex]] in Generation II and the [[Unown Notebook]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
The '!' and '?' forms were not introduced until [[Generation III]].

===Special abilities===

Unown's only known move in battle is the enigmatic {{m|Hidden Power}}.

In the anime, they are capable of reading the thoughts of other lifeforms. Great numbers of them are capable of warping reality to suit the dreams and wishes of whoever they read the thoughts of and is in control of the Unown.

Their mind reading ability seems to suggest that they should be able to learn {{m|Mind Reader}}. However, they can only do this when more Unown are present, so it could be a shared effort rather than an ability unique to each Unown.

===Behavior===
Unown can make telepathic contact with humans (and many other creatures also). Unown have a timidness that rarely makes them venture outside of their dimension.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Unown live in [[Alternate dimension|their own dimension]].

When they move to the Pokémon World, Unown seem to prefer to make their habitat in ancient ruins stuck to the walls, appearing only in the [[Ruins of Alph]] in [[Johto]], [[Tanoby Chambers]] in the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Solaceon Ruins]] in [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unown Relic]] and [[Aegis Cave]] in the [[Pokémon World (Mystery Dungeon)|Mystery Dungeon world]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Unown anime.png|right|210px|thumb|Unown in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]====
Unown play a large role in the third movie, creating the illusions which drive the plot.

Notes about Unown can be seen on [[Professor Oak]]'s computer at the beginning of the movie. The information (as presented in the Japanese version) has been cleaned up and transcribed here:
* Because of their very timid and careful character, Unown do not want to go out to the external world.
* Unown have the power to perceive the feelings of other creatures (including human beings).
* Unown communicate with each other over electromagnetic waves but cannot use telepathy.
* Given all this, Unown are still classified as a species of Pokémon, as opposed to any other sort of creature.

====Other====
An Unown fell out of the Unown dimension in ''[[EP263|Address Unown]]''. After it was healed by the group, it helped defend against Team Rocket and its mind merged with that of [[Ash's Larvitar]] so that the group could help it to address its inner pain.

[[Image:Tablet DP060.png|thumb|right|200px|The tablet]]
Markings of Unown were on a tablet in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]''. Many Unown appeared in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', also the same tablet from last appearence is shown.

The tablet is written (in Roomaji):
 ''FRIEND''
 ''SUBETE NO INOCHI HA''
 ''BETSU NO INOCHI TO DEAI''
 ''NANIKA WO UMIDASU''
 (In the dub, Dawn reads it as ''"When every life meets another life, something will be born"'').

===Minor appearances===
Multiple Unown also made a brief appearance in the ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' fleeing from Dialga and Palkia in a different dimension.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP263|Unown|Ash's Pokédex|Unown, the Symbol Pokémon. Unown are said to have existed since [[History of the Pokémon world|ancient times]]. There are many in [[Form differences|form]] and shape but little is known about this mysterious Pokémon.}}

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Unown first appeared in {{PAV|8}} when {{adv|Gold}} and [[Bugsy]] were in the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Gold had his {{p|Sunkern}} use {{m|Flash}} to blind [[Team Rocket]], but accidentally disturbed the Unown from their slumber with the light from Flash. Bugsy later returns to study the Ruins further in {{PAV|11}}, where he captures an Unown (G).

Unown later appear in {{PAV|24}}, having been awakened by [[Sird]] from the [[Tanoby Ruins]] to use as a distraction while she fought [[Lorelei]]. The Unown later appear again throughout the volume, being employed by Team Rocket as living security cameras while impeding the progress of {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}}.

It also appeared in DP saga when {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} were visiting Solaceon Town. Diamond and Pearl befriended two Unown (D and P) who behaved like them.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When one Unown is released from a Poké Ball it will fly off the screen. It then returns with a large swarm similar to what {{p|Beedrill}} did in the original [[Super Smash Bros.]] The only difference is that Beedrill only attack from left or right while Unown can come from any direction. Any opponent caught in this is damaged and juggled.

There are also a number of Unown Pokéfloats. In the second half of the cycle, a number fly across the screen. Towards the end of the cycle, staying on the stage relies on hopping between the Unown.

====Trophy Information====
These Psychic-type symbol Pokémon resemble ancient hieroglyphics found on rocks, a resemblance that's said to be more than superficial. Quite a few different shapes of Unown have been confirmed, and it's believed that each type has unique abilities. These enigmatic Pokémon can be found in the [[Ruins of Alph]].

==Trivia==
[[Image:Unreleased Unown.jpg|thumb|right|Unreleased Unown]]
*In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'', [[Professor Oak]] had some pictures of {{pkmn2|unreleased}} Unown on his computer. They resemble a few {{wp|Greek alphabet}} letters, especially σ (lowercase sigma), Σ (capital sigma), Π (pi) and Ω (omega). However, lowercase letters have never been made into Unown before, so this may be an error or a misinterpretation by fans. The top-middle Unown may be also a variation of an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, the {{wp|Eye of Horus}}, or the Russian letter Я (ya). This may lead to the conclusion that there are more forms of Unown, being the prototypes of other known (or unknown) alphabets.
**It is, however, possible that the creators of the carvings drew Unown in the form of other letters and symbols, even if actual living equivalents did not exist.
*Unown apparently generate a radio signal where they are found in large numbers, which can be listened to by any Trainer with a [[PokéGear]].
*In [[M03|the third movie]], [[Molly Hale]] owned a book that had Unown on the cover of it.
*It is the first non-legendary to be in a central role in a Pokémon movie.
*Unown, {{p|Nidorina}}, {{p|Nidoqueen}}, and {{p|Ditto}} are the only non-legendary, non-baby Pokémon that cannot breed with Ditto.
*Despite being in the book of legendary Pokémon, Unown is not considered a legendary Pokémon.
*The two punctuation Unown have half-closed eyes; all alphabetic Unown have fully open eyes.
*If a player does not have Unown's Pokédex data on a [[Generation II]] game when in Oak's lab in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Unown's Pokédex number is listed as {{p|Treecko|252}} instead of 201. This happens regardless of which Pokédex display mode is selected.
*It has the smallest movepool of all Pokémon, learning only one move, {{m|Hidden Power}}, and being unable to learn any other moves through [[TM|TMs]], [[HM|HMs]], and [[Pokémon breeding]] (as it cannot breed). It shares this distinction with {{p|Ditto}}, and {{p|Smeargle}}, however they can potentially expand their movepools through the use of {{m|Transform}} and {{m|Sketch}} respectively.
*Despite having their own movie about their power, they are relatively weak in the games due to a very shallow move pool.
**Their power of warping reality is barely acknowledged in the games. Only the pokédex data in {{game|Platinum}} even hints to their power, saying that "an odd power is said to emerge" when two or more are together. Nothing special occurs when two Unown are sent out side by side in a double battle, however.
*[[Generation II]] is the only Generation in which all Unown have their own separate animations. Consequently, Unown ''?'' (question mark) and ''!'' (exclamation mark) never experience this because in all following generations, the Unown share the same animations.

===Origin===
Their appearances are corruptions of the modern {{wp|Latin alphabet}}. The shapes of the Unown are used like runes in the Pokémon world, although in [[Generation III]] their place has been taken by {{wp|Braille}}.
====Name origin====
Unown's name is a corruption of the word ''unknown''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Icognito - From ''Inkognito'' (incognito); similar to the English corruption of "unknown".
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Zarbi - From the word ''bizarre'' in {{wp|verlan}}, a youth language.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 안농 ''Annong''
*Norwegian: Ukjent - ''Unknown'', only in episode 264 - Address Unown, where it was mistakenly translated.
*Swedish: Okänd - ''Unknown'', only in episode 264 - Address Unown, where it was mistakenly translated. Also of note was that they always referred to the Unown with very bad grammar, for example: "the place where Unknown comes from".

==Trivia==
*Chinchou and {{p|Lanturn}} are the only {{type|Electric}}s whose primary type is not Electric.
*Although Chinchou is shown to have the ability to walk on land in the {{pkmn|anime}}, in the games it may only be caught in water.
*The vowel sounds in Chinchou's English name are reverse of the vowels in its Japanese name.
*Both Chinchou and Lanturn are the only Pokémon not of the Steel type to have a double resistance to {{type2|Steel}}s.

===Origin===
It is based on an {{wp|anglerfish}}, its species name.

====Name origin====
Chinchou's name is a play on 提灯 ''chōchin'', {{wp|lantern}}. Its Japanese name is also a corruption of ''chōchin''. Also, the チョウチンアンコウ ''chouchin-anko'' is the name of the ''footballfish'', a deep-sea fish similar to {{p|Lanturn}}. It is also interesting to note that ''chouwa'' is the Japanese word for harmony, since this would describe the balance of Chinchou's water and electric types.

==In other languages==

==Trivia==
* {{p|Hippopotas}} and Hippowdon are currently the only Pokémon whose [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|male and female sprites]] show completely different colors.
* Hippowdon's species is Heavyweight Pokémon; however, it is only the the 16th heaviest Pokémon currently known.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], both Hippowdon and Hippopotas have the same recruit rate, something rarely found with Pokémon of the same evolutionary line.
===Origin===
Hippowdon is based on a {{wp|hippopotamus}}.
====Name origin====
Hippowdon's name is derived from ''hippopotamus'', either ''power'', ''powder'' (as in sand), or possibly the onomatopoeia "''Pow!''", and the suffix ''-don'' which can be taken to mean "tooth" or "lord".
Kabarudon's name is derived from the Japanese word 河馬 ''kaba'', hippopotamus, which it is based on, and the aforementioned ''-don''.

Flute

2009-11-13T01:22:16Z

M190049: /* Generation IV */

:''This article is about the [[Generation III]] colored flutes. For one of the [[key item]]s, see [[Poké Flute]] or [[Azure Flute]].''

A '''flute''' is a type of item from the [[Pokémon games]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effects==
Each of the colored flutes has a different effect, similar to consumables purchased at a [[Poké Mart]], but flutes are not consumed when used. The Red, Yellow, and Blue Flutes, cure {{status|Attract|Attraction}}, {{status|Confusion}}, and {{status|Sleep}}, respectively. The Black Flute makes [[wild Pokémon]] encounters less common, while the White Flute makes wild Pokémon encounters more common.

==Location==
===In [[Generation I]] and [[Pokémon Snap]]===
The [[Poké Flute]], while not a colored flute, is a [[key item]] which works similarly to the Blue Flute, acting like a reusable [[Awakening]].

===In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}===
To obtain the flutes in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the player must first receive the [[Soot Sack]] from the man in the glass-blowing shop on [[Route 113]]. Then, ash must be collected by walking through the [[Volcanic ash|ash-covered grass]] on the route. Once the player has enough ash, he/she can exchange it for one of the flutes.

|}

===In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}===
[[Image:PokeFlute.png|thumb|right]]
In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, only the Yellow Flute is obtainable without trading a Pokémon over from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], or [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]] holding one. The Yellow Flute can be purchased for 1600 coins at the Prize Corner of the [[Rocket Game Corner]]. The [[Poké Flute]], which acts like a Blue Flute, also exists in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

===In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]===

The Yellow Flute can be found in an item box inside the [[S.S. Libra]].

===In [[Pokémon Colosseum]]===
The Time Flute appears twice and can completely purify any [[Shadow Pokémon]].

===Generation IV===
The colored flutes cannot be obtained in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} except by making a Pokémon hold them in [[Generation III]] and transferring them over via [[Pal Park]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, the player will automatically receive a Black Flute from [[Looker]] when examining the broken cave painting on the third floor of [[Mt. Coronet]] before chasing Team Galactic. The White Flute will be given by the girl that owns the [[Suite Key]]. The Blue Flute is no longer usable outside of battle. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a Red Flute is available in the [[Lake of Rage]], and a Black Flute can be found in [[Dark Cave]].

==Trivia==
* The flutes, along with the [[Poké Flute]], are the only items that can be used in-battle and can be used multiple times.
* In [[Generation III]] games, the Blue Flute can be used outside of battle, but it cannot be used this way in [[Generation IV]] games, as it is classified as a [[Battle item]].

Lake guardians

2009-11-04T04:29:31Z

M190049: /* Moveset similarities */

[[Image:LakeTrio.gif|thumb|right|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf.]]
The '''lake guardians''', sometimes referred to as the '''lake trio''' or the '''Legendary Pixies''', is a term used to describe the [[legendary trio]] residing in the three lakes of [[Sinnoh]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. They are meant to represent knowledge, emotion, and willpower, respectively. They are based off of the {{wp|Imperial Regalia of Japan}}: the {{wp|Yata no Kagami}} (wisdom), {{wp|Yasakani no Magatama}} (benevolence), and {{wp|Kusanagi}} (valor).

Unlike previous trios, all three of the lake trio are of a single type, the {{type2|Psychic}}, though like the others, they share an [[ability]]: {{a|Levitate}}. According to [[Sinnoh myths|legend]], when {{p|Arceus}} created the universe it created Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, and therefore is believed to be their [[Trio master|master]]. According to one of Azelf's Pokédex entries, all three of them were born from the same egg.

It is interesting to note that each of the members of the lake trio has one of the qualities of the [[wikipedia:Abrahamic God|Abrahamic God]]: Uxie is omniscient, Mesprit is omnipresent, and Azelf is omnipotent. They could also be equated to, respectively, the Greek/Roman deities of {{wp|Athena}}/{{wp|Minerva}}, {{wp|Poseidon}}/[[wp:Neptune (mythology)|Neptune]], and {{wp|Zeus}}/[[wp:Jupiter (mythology)|Jupiter]]. It should also be noted that parts of their name come from fantasy creatures, {{wp|pixie}}s, {{wp|sprite}}s and {{wp|elf|elves}}, respectively. The other parts of their names come from pronouns: you ('''U'''xie), me ('''Me'''sprit), and us ('''Az'''elf).

The members of the lake trio are tied for the lightest legendary Pokémon, and, tied with {{p|Rotom}}, are second for the lightest of all Pokémon (after {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}).

==Trivia==
* As seen in the pictures above, the two circles in each of the Pokémon's caves are the relative positions of the other two, although the meaning of the shapes of the puddles is unknown. They could be there to show where the other members are located, though.
* The lake trio is the only trio whose members are all {{type2|Psychic}}, and the same type for that matter. However the [[legendary birds]] and the [[dragon trio]] share their secondary types.
* The lake trio are the first set of [[legendary Pokémon]] since the legendary birds to have their names changed for the English language versions of the game - from Yuxie, Emrit, and Agnome to Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf.
* The lake trio helps the player through the [[Distortion World]] in Pokémon {{v|Platinum}}.
* The lake trio contains the three {{wp|subtractive colors}} of yellow (Uxie), magenta (Mesprit) and cyan (Azelf).
** In addition; they share the same main colors with {{p|Cresselia}}.
* The trio's encounter music is a different version of their cavern music.
* None of the lake trio can learn [[HM]] moves.
* Each member of the lake trio has appeared to one of the three current main characters of the {{pkmn|anime}}:
** Mesprit appeared to {{an|Dawn}}, highlighting her ability to understand what Pokémon feel, in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage]]''.
** Azelf appeared to {{Ash}}, highlighting his courageous actions without fear of his own harm, in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]''.
** Uxie appeared to [[Brock]], highlighting his superior knowledge of Pokémon to his companions, in [[DP133]].
**Coincidentally, the genders of the three main characters are parallel to the Lake trio's genders in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].

'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

While it is similar to other legendary Pokémon in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, including its post-National Dex appearance and lack of relation to the games' overall plot, it was revealed in early February, 2008 to have an [[Form differences#Giratina|alternate form]] known as the Origin Forme, in addition to the form it takes in Diamond and Pearl, the Altered Forme. It is in this new form that Giratina took its place as [[version mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}, the third version of [[Generation IV]].

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
As first revealed by Japan's CoroCoro Magazine, Giratina has two forms. The first (Altered Forme) is the form that appeared in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. In this form, Giratina is has a large, gray, centipede-like body with six short legs. Its legs have gold claws and gold bands on them. It has a tail and a thick black stripe running vertically along the front of its body. There is a series of red horizontal stripes running across the large black one. Three gold half-rings circle the back half of Giratina's neck at the same points that three of the red stripes are at on its front, resembling a ribcage. On its back are two large, black wings that are decorated with red, conical objects that also could be claws. The wings seem oddly out of place, due to the fact that Giratina seems far too heavy to fly effectively. The wings also seem to be ghostly, as they can change shape as if they were made of a liquid.

Giratina's head and eyes resemble those of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, causing many to theorize that it is related to the two. This assumption is confirmed in Pokémon Platinum. Giratina's {{shiny2}} form is nearly opposite in color compared to the original. The colors of the shiny Origin Forme is the same as the Altered Forme's except for the wings which appear to be a dark shade of brown.

The second is a new Origin Forme which made its debut in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''; it uses this form when traveling through dimensions other than ours, such as the Distortion World. The form-altering is triggered by a change of gravity. This form is more serpentine than Giratina's Altered Forme. The Origin Forme of Giratina has six black streamers on its back that each have a red spike at the end. Its mouth is hidden by the head plates, which swing open sideways when the mouth is opening. Giratina's legs have been reduced to spike-like protrusions. There are four more golden spikes near the edge of the tail. This version of Giratina also appears in {{game|Platinum}}, and can be activated outside of the [[Distortion World]] if it is holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}}.

Giratina's body is likely made up of antimatter, like all things from the Distortion World.
====Gender differences====
Giratina is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
As to be expected with other {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, Giratina is capable of using Ghost, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Psychic}} and {{t|Electric}}al attacks. Unlike other {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon, Giratina lacks the ability to wield {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Fire}} attacks (save for {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, which most Ghost-types learn anyway). Giratina is one out of seven Pokémon that is capable of using {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Since Giratina is a "true" Dragon Pokémon, it is also capable of using {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

In Platinum, Giratina can transform to its Origin Forme by equipping the Griseous Orb. If the orb is unequipped in battle, it goes back to Altered Forme. The Origin Forme has higher offensive stats while the Altered Forme has higher defenses. Since Giratina's Origin Forme (and the Griseous Orb, for that matter) is exclusive to Platinum, when it is traded to Diamond or Pearl it will revert back to its Altered Forme, and the Griseous Orb it was holding goes back into the player's bag.

Giratina is able to control dimensions besides those of time and space.

Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Shadow Force}}.

When in its Origin Forme, it is able to pass through dimensions at will, however, it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the [[Reverse World]]. It does so by emitting a whirlwind from its mouth which creates a portal.

It also seems to have a connection to reflective objects, such as mirrors and pools of water. Reflections embody the concept of an antimatter world.

===Behavior===
Judging by the events in Pokémon Platinum and ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', its portrayal in [[Sinnoh myths|ancient folklore]], and its Platinum Pokédex entry, it's assumed that Giratina is a highly aggressive Pokémon protective of [[Distortion World|its home]]. It should be noted that despite the legends depicting it in a more evil light than the others in its trio, Giratina arrived at Spear Pillar to save the world from Cyrus' attempted apotheosis; though it may have arrived to protect its own world from destruction.

===Habitat===
Legends claim that Giratina appear in cemeteries and that this Pokémon species supposedly lives in the spirit world, on the reverse side of ours. It was banished for violence.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:{{#ifexpr: ({{#time: H}} mod 2) = 0|Giratina Altered Forme.png|Giratina Origin Form.png}}|thumb|right|210px|Giratina's {{#ifexpr: ({{#time: H}} mod 2) = 0|Altered|Origin}} Forme in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'']]
{{an|Giratina}} made its anime debut in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the movie, Giratina ambushes and drags {{an|Dialga}} into the [[Reverse World]] in order to exact revenge against the Temporal Pokémon for causing damage to it during its fight with {{an|Palkia}} [[The Rise of Darkrai|some time before]]. [[Zero]] also attempts to copy Giratina's powers in order to take control over the Reverse World. Throughout the movie, Giratina takes on its Origin Forme whenever it is in the Reverse World, and its Altered Forme whenever it is in the real world.

The Giratina makes a second appearance in the [[Arceus and the Jewel of Life|twelfth movie]] alongside {{an|Dialga}}, {{an|Palkia}}, and {{p|Arceus}}.

==In the manga==
In ''{{OBP|Arceus and the Jewel of Life|manga}}'', Giratina, along with the members of its trio, battles in a final showdown.

==In the TCG==

* Giratina is the only dual-type Pokémon that has weaknesses to both of its own types, as well as the only {{type2|Ghost}} legendary Pokémon.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Giratina.
* Giratina has the highest HP stat of all legendary Pokémon, however, it is tied with non-legendaries {{p|Slaking}} and {{p|Drifblim}} and beaten by {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Wailord}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Blissey}}, all non-legendary.
* Giratina is one of very few non-{{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that is able to learn {{m|Fly}}. The others are: {{p|Vibrava}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}} (all four of which have the [[ability]] {{a|Levitate}}), {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, and {{p|Arceus}} (all three of which can learn all [[HM]] moves). It is the only one who does not permanently keep Levitate. Additionally, before the revelation of its Origin Forme, it was unique in learning Fly but not having legitimate access to Levitate at all.
* It is one of eight Pokémon which can change forms, the other seven being {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Cherrim}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}. Giratina's Origin Forme is only available in {{game|Platinum}}.
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Giratina is met at level 70, while {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} are met at level 47, but in {{v2|Platinum}}, Giratina is met at level 47, while {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} are met at level 70.
*Among all members of the Dragon trio, Giratina is the only one not having Special Attack as its highest stat, having HP as its highest stat.
* Giratina, as of Platinum, is the only Pokémon to come out from above instead of from the left of the screen during the start of the battle.
* When Giratina is first fought against in Platinum, it does not have a shadow. After capturing it, though, it has one when leaving a [[Poké Ball]]. This may also occur following the use of {{m|Shadow Force}}.
** Coincidentally, [[Cyrus]] keeps referring to Giratina as ''the shadowy creature''.
* The first shown sprite of its Origin Forme was not used in Platinum.
* Giratina is the only one of the [[dragon trio]] with a catch rate of 3.
* In its Origin Forme, Giratina has the highest {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Giratina's Altered Forme is the second heaviest of all Pokémon, surpassed only by {{p|Groudon}}; however, its Origin Forme is the fourth heaviest.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon in a legendary trio that is separated from the other members of its group in the Pokédex; {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Regigigas}} separate Giratina from {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon of its trio whose {{m|Shadow Force|signature move}} is not of the {{type|Dragon}}.
* Giratina is the only one of its trio without a jewel located somewhere on its body.
* Giratina is considered to be the forgotten one among itself, Dialga and Palkia, even though all three were created by {{p|Arceus}}.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon that is able to hold the Griseous Orb; a Ditto that transforms into an Origin Forme Giratina during battle will immediately change back into Altered Forme (unless in battle with it in the Distortion World).
* In {{v2|Platinum}}, if Giratina is knocked out in the [[Distortion World]], it can be battled again in [[Turnback Cave]] (and thus in Altered Forme).
** If it is defeated a second time in the Turnback Cave battle, it will reappear in one week for another battle. It shares this trait with {{p|Heatran}}. However, the items rewarded for completing Turnback Cave's maze will be unavailable during this time.
* In interviews [[Junichi Masuda]] and [[Takeshi Kawachimaru]] did for G4, it was said that Giratina and its Distortion World were created to be personifications of {{wp|antimatter}}.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon at the end of a regional Pokédex listing that is not an event-exclusive Pokémon.
===Origin===
Giratina is possibly based on a {{wp|basilisk}}. In the Altered Forme, the wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a {{wp|sauropod}}. Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based off of a [[wp:scorpion|scorpion]]'s stinger.
====Name origin====
Giratina's name may be derived from {{wp|platinum}} (written as プラチナ ''platina'' in {{wp|katakana}}; compare to ギラティナ) and either {{wp|guillotine}}, [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Girasol girasol], {{wp|giraffe}} or girare (meaning to wander).

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

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Like its previous stage Paras, Parasect is an insectoid creature. However, in this stage the mushroom has completely overtaken the host's body. The insect has been drained of nutrients and is now under the control of the fully grown tochukaso.

Due to the influence of the tochukaso in its growth, the insect's metamorphosis has been stunted and it instead resembles a grotesque, exaggerated version of its {{p|Paras|former self}}. Its pincers and legs have grown much larger and the mushrooms on its back have grown together into one giant mushroom. Its eyes have become whited out, likely due to its being possessed by the tochukaso.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
The mushroom completely takes over its host's body. Parasect now has more control over it. It still releases irritating spores that can paralyze, poison, or put to sleep.

===Behavior===

Although appearing to be docile, they are actually quite dangerous and will attempt to attack anything that invades their territory. They can use many moves which involve slashing, such as {{m|Slash}}, {{m|Cross Poison}} and {{m|X-Scissor}}, which makes them quite deadly.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Parasect can often be found in caves, since sunlight and dry air hurt their skin. They can also thrive in dank forests with lots of humidity where conditions are ideal for fungi.

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

==In the anime==
[[File:Parasect anime.png|thumb|right|Parasect in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Parasect first featured in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'' under the ownership of [[Cassandra]] as a very weak {{p|Paras}}. Cassandra needed it to [[Evolution|evolve]] into a Parasect so she can use the giant mushroom to aid in her medical research. After it battled with Ash's Pokémon (albeit, all of them not trying at all), and a battle with [[Team Rocket]], Paras evolved.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'', {{jo|Lily}} needed {{m|Stun Spore}} from a Parasect to complete a spell.

[[Officer Jenny]] uses a Parasect in ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP044|Parasect|Ash's Pokédex|Parasect, the Mushroom Pokémon. Battles using {{m|PoisonPowder|poison spears}} that spread from the [[Valuable item#Tinymushroom and Big Mushroom|mushroom]] canopy on its back.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Kanto}}

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Crystal}} uses a Parasect extensively in her Pokémon capturing, using its {{M|Spore}} attack to put targets to sleep. In {{PSV|10}}, her Parasect is seen to be capable of increasing the radius of its Spore attack to at least three kilometres. In {{PSV|11}}, the origin of Crystal's Parasect is revealed: it, along with Crystal's {{P|Natu}}, {{P|Hitmonchan}} and {{P|Cubone}}, were wild Pokémon living in [[Mt. Mortar]] and had fought with a local {{P|Arcanine}} that had gone berserk from a severe eye injury. Parasect was able to create medicinal spores to help Arcanine heal and Crystal recover from her fractured arms. In {{PSV|13}}, Crystal reveals yet another ability of Parasect: it is able to use the powder attacks it possesses to combine into a wider range of spores, including one for corroding metals.

==Trivia==
* Parasect's [[Pokédex]] entry for [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] connects the [[Pokémon world]] with [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|the real world]], noting that its spores are sometimes used as medicine in {{wp|China}}.
* Parasect and {{p|Paras}} are the only Pokémon in the game to take more than 4 times as much damage from any one type of attack (if they have the ability {{a|Dry Skin}}, they both take 8× damage, from {{type2|Fire}} attacks).
* In Generation I, {{type2|Poison}} attacks are super effective against Bug-types, making Parasect and Paras the only Pokémon to have ever had three 4× weaknesses or double weakness to Poison.
* Parasect is one of the few Pokémon not in the [[Sinnoh Pokédex]] that has different [[Pokédex]] entries in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
*Paras, Parasect, and {{p|Wormadam}} in its Plant Cloak are the only {{type2|Bug}}s that also take super-effective damage from Bug attacks, due to their part {{t|Grass}} typing.
* Parasect's colors on its {{shiny2}} sprite resembles its pre-evolution's colors.
===Origin===
There are many forms of fungus that grow on insects, any one of which could have inspired Parasect's design, like the ''entomophthora muscae'', which grows on the back of the common {{wp|housefly}}. Its base insect is a distorted version of what is probably a cicada nymph, the parasetic fungi having caused a form of {{wp|neoteny}}.
====Name origin====
Parasect's name could be a combination of ''{{wp|parasite}}'' and ''{{wp|insect}}'', referring to the parasitic {{wp|mushroom}} on this insect's back. Alternatively, it could be a combination of ''{{wp|parasite}}'' and ''sect'', which is the Latin word for cut.

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

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Paras is an insectoid creature, with the unique feature of having mushrooms known as tochukaso growing from its back. They grow from spores that are doused on this Pokémon's back at birth by the mushroom on its parent's back.

Though tochukaso are parasitic in nature, Paras manages to make use of the mushrooms by creating a semi-symbiotic relationship; the mushrooms draw their nutrients from the host Paras's body in order to grow, and Paras is able to use the mushrooms spores along with its own pincers for self-defense.

Paras may have fairly long life spans, because the tochukaso is known for having properties that are beneficial for longevity.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
The mushrooms growing out of its back will release irritating spores that can paralyze, poison, or put to sleep.

===Behavior===
The mushrooms on its back have a very commanding influence over Paras and order it to extract juice from tree trunks. It is also very timid as shown in the anime when it runs away from a battle with a {{TP|Ash|Charmeleon|Charizard}}.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitatForest Pokémon}}]]
Paras can often be found in caves, since sunlight and dry air hurt their skin. They can also thrive in dank forests with lots of humidity where conditions are ideal for fungi.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
It is unknown if Paras eats regular food in the wild or if it gets all of its nutrients from the roots that it sucks, though most of the food is absorbed by the mushrooms on its back.

==In the anime==
[[Image:TheProblemwithParas.gif|thumb|right|Paras in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Paras is first featured in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'' under the ownership of [[Cassandra]]. It is extremely weak, but Cassandra needs it to [[Evolution|evolve]] into a {{p|Parasect}} so she can use the giant mushroom to aid in her medical research.

===Minor appearances===
A group of Paras can be seen briefly in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'' removing the mushrooms on their backs.

A differently patterned Paras appeared in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''.

Paras had a small cameo in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'' as one of the Bug Pokémon on [[Murcott Island]].

It also appeared in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'' during the [[Bug-Catching Contest]].

==Trivia==
*Paras's name was originally "Parasyte". The name was probably abandoned because it was also the official English name of an {{wp|Parasyte|extremely graphic Japanese horror comic.}}
*In [[Generation I]], {{t|Poison}} attacks are super effective against {{t|Bug}}, making Paras and {{p|Parasect}} the only Pokémon to have ever had three 4× weaknesses or double weakness to Poison.
*Due to the ability {{a|Dry Skin}}, Paras and {{p|Parasect}} are also the only Pokémon to have a 8× weakness (to {{t|Fire}}).
*Paras and {{p|Parasect}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Shroomish}} and {{p|Breloom}}. They are all known as Mushroom Pokémon.
*Paras, Parasect, and {{p|Wormadam}} in its Plant cloak are the only {{type2|Bug}}s that also take super-effective damage from Bug attacks, due to their part {{t|Grass}} typing.
* Paras' colors on its {{shiny2}} sprite resembles its evolution's colors.
===Origin===
There are many forms of fungus that grow on insects, any one of which could have inspired Paras's design, like the ''{{wp|Entomophthora muscae}}'', which grows on the back of the common {{wp|housefly}}. As for the insect itself, it bears a resemblance to a cicada larva, more so than {{p|Nincada}}.
====Name origin====
Paras's name is a shortening of the word ''{{wp|parasite}}'', referring to the parasitic {{wp|mushroom}} growing on its back. "Paras" also means "the best" in {{wp|Finnish}}.

==In other languages==

== The part about Gold's pants ==

It says Gold is the only male player character who wears shorts. This is not true; Brendan wears shorts in Emerald. --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 04:03, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
:It says he's the only male character who doesn't wear long pants. That is different. --[[User:Galladeon|Galladeon]] 04:50, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

:::While it is a confusing style choice (and hell for cosplay), Brendan does wear trousers and then shorts on top. They're not long socks, at least from what I can tell. Unless you have some official source which specifically says something about Brendan's choice of lower-half clothing. '''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 16:20, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
::::How exactly can you tell that they aren't long socks? They look like tube socks that are about the same color as his shorts (notice how what you're calling "long pants" aren't as baggy as his pants in Ruby and Sapphire; rather, they're tight like socks). It's not like there aren't socks that are that long. Do ''you'' have an official source regarding his clothes? Wearing shorts over long pants isn't exactly common. --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 22:58, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
:::::Do you have a source that they are are tube socks? --[[User:PsychicRider|PsychicRider]] [[User talk:PsychicRider|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|C]] 23:08, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
::::::(EC) I've debated it a lot myself, but short of getting some official word on it, it's best to go based on what most people assume it to be at first glance, which seems to be shorts over trousers. I'm really unsure myself, seeing as I don't try and pay all too much attention to it, and my interpretation is also slightly askew because [[Ruby (Special)|of the manga]]. This topic is starting to drift away from being related to Gold and more being related to Brendan, so can we either get back onto it, or move this section to [[Talk:Brendan (game)|Brendan's page]]. '''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 23:11, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

== Gold's Gen II sprites ==

I started up Crystal and got into a battle with [[Carrie]] at the Trainer House and Gold's Gold and Silver sprite is used for her (her page mentions using Gold's sprite), despite Gold's own Trainer Card displaying that game's new sprite (shown in the sprites section). Can this usage be mentioned? The only problem is that I haven't been able to confirm how it's used for other Trainer House opponents (such as [[Cal]]) as well as during link battles. Does anyone know what the case is with those? --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 23:57, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
:Cal uses character's sprite because he's a placeholder for a proper player (who the player connects, when he uses IR-DA capabilities of GBC). This is a simply technical limitation. If Cal's gonna be featured in HGSS, then he'll probably have his own sprite (he had his own design in Stadium 2, anyways). --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 06:17, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

== Hibiki? ==

Since the girl was confirmed to be Kotone, why isn't Gold's article moved to Hibiki. It was shown on the PokeGear screen referring to him as such and doesn't seem likely the opposite gender character is nameable.

And the girl is Kotone, not Hibiki. {{unsigned|Raine}}

:The player's mom refers to a friend named Hibiki while playing as the girl, so it must indeed be his NPC name. See here: [http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g29/vs_seeker/mom.jpg].

== Title translation ==
I'd like to note that 超克の時空 means the Space-Time of Overcoming/Conquering and not the other way around. Even if it doesn't make much sense, this means that "To the Conquering of Space-Time" is wrong and Serebii.net's "Towards The Overcome's Time Space" is the only English translation that seems correct with everyone else seemingly believing PokéBeach.
I think we need to correct this before people memorize the incorrect translation that we apparently see almost everywhere.
As for whether "overcoming" or "conquering", to me "overcoming" sounds more accurate, but I can't say for sure as I'm not a native English speaker. It should be considered that the official movie website has an explanation for the word which says that it means "to overcome difficulties/pain": http://www.pokemon-movie.jp/chokoku/
--[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 13:19, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

:Japanese is amazing eh? Considering ''everyone'' (including Serebii) has changed it to "To the Conquering of Space-Time" (and remember, the previous translation we had was "Towards Overcoming the Space-Time Void") there's either, A: a really bad translation going around, or B: People are all getting this from one source, i.e. the movie poster. [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 13:53, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

::I don't see where you read "To the Conquering of Space-Time" on Serebii.net - I clearly read "Towards The Overcome's Time Space" there. Are you trying to tell us that the poster has an English version of the title? If so, would you kindly point out where exactly I can see this on the poster?! --[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 15:02, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
:::What I meant was that most people over there are refering to it as such and Serebii himself has said that he is busy for the holidays, so it hasn't been changed yet. This universal translation; just accept it, its tenative anyway, we get the real title in Jan. And also, I can't read a word of Japanese, but if ''hundreds'' of fans can agree on a title, that says something. [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 16:22, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

::::I would be willing to accept it as a universal translation, but your reasoning to call it that is pretty flawed. The number of people who can really tell whether the translation is accurate is by far less than "hundreds", most just take what is written and take it as confirmed as long as it isn't corrected. And if you say yourself that you can't read Japanese, why are you taking part in this discussion then? I mean, I don't mind your input, but you don't seem to belong to the people who can validate a translation either. It also isn't as tenative as you seem to think. Going by how Japanese movie titles have been in previous years, the title (and the logo) will be almost the same in its final version, only having a Pokémon name added to it - most likely it will be something like "超克の時空へアルセウス". And that's why we need to work out a more accurate translation as the order of words/kanji in the title can't just be a mistake, or at least it's not safe at all to assume so. Now if nobody else is interested in discussing this, I assume I shouldn't just go about changing the article and moving it. I'd be glad if someone with more knowledge of Japanese could contribute to this discussion. --[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 11:28, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't like babelfish's translations, and agree with nYoo's point that "To the Conquering of Space-Time" is inaccurate, but the truth is the majority always wins.

== Arceus ==

I'll clear one thing up before I kick off the main point of the message: I fully believe that a movie featuring Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Spear Pillar will feature Arceus. HOWEVER, in the blurb for PikaProj09 on the movie list article (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_movie) it is stated that the movie is "expected to feature Arceus." By whom? By whomever happened to write that sentence. I don't think that should be there until there is some actual proof beyond opinion. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]]

:Here is a photo that could help with proving Arceus is in the movie. The pic is from pokebeach but they only outlined part of what seems to be part of the "pointed ring" that is showed in the light.I circled the other parts. Looking at it from different angles, sometimes I think i can see its ears and a small part of its head. But that's what i think i saw so i didn't circle it. You can see it very well in the first pic. Since many people say that arceus is in the movie, I'd say this is very good proof.

Can we please put Piplup on the cast sheet? You know it's going to be there. And please don't give me the "unconfirmed" lecture. It was in the first two movies, is featured on the poster for this and the previous Pikachu movie. I get why you might not want it for the regular episodes but, come on now... There is really no good reason it wouldn't appear. Do you really think after all the writers have done with Piplup so far that there really going to make it skip a movie appearance? Or are you going to get all mad at me if I add it on the cast sheet? Face it, Piplup IS the new Togepi. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 09:59, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

You know, even IF I did want it to appear in the episodes, we still should wait for more information in regards to whether Piplup is actually appearing or not. For all we know, the poster could have just misled us. It's not like they haven't done that before [cough, cough, cough, cough, [[Palkia (anime)|Palkia]], [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|Sky Warrior]] poster cough, cough, cough, cough] [cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, [[Brock's Marshtomp|Mudkip]] and [[Ash's Sceptile|Treecko]] in [[Jirachi: Wish Maker|Jirachi poster]] cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough]. I won't argue that it should be erased, since, as you said, it's officially confirmed. However, for episodes, we DEFINITELY need to wait until the the previews at least before we add in Piplup. I mean, should we add in Wobbuffet in every single pokemon episode that's upcoming just because it appears in a lot of the episodes? Because that would be the same thing. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 20:50, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
:I was referring to the trailer, not the poster. Piplup was in the trailer. And Wobbuffet hasn't been in the anime for nearly 50 episodes straight without an absence. Piplup has. It's not just the number of episodes its appeared in. It's the consistency. Wobbuffet is in a lot of episodes but will be absent once every 10 or 15 episodes. Each week that passes, Piplup gets confirmed for yet another episode and some still wanna believe that its all of a sudden not going to appear next week. Besides, Wobbuffet belongs to an antagonist who are not the absolute central point of the anime like the heroes are. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 21:22, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

::Meowth belonged to the Antagonists, as well, and yet that never stopped people from adding in his name before. I'm not saying that Piplup shouldn't be in any episodes, I'm actually more neutral to the debate. All I'm saying that it still needs more information. And I still don't see too much of a difference between Piplup appearing and Wobbuffet appearing. I mean, at least with Pikachu, Meowth, and up until "A Togepi Mirage", Togepi, they weren't in pokeballs, so their appearances were definitely a given. Piplup, no matter how many appearances it's made in a way similar to Pikachu and Meowth, is still a pokeball pokemon that makes multiple appearances in episodes, not unlike Wobbuffet, in one sense. Unlike Piplup, Wobbuffet still doesn't get inserted into the cast pokemon of the episode [or rather, people aren't trying to insert it in.]. Basically, what I'm saying is that we shouldn't be too hasty to add in Piplup before we have undeniable proof that it's in. I mean, I don't add in Wobbuffet to the pokemon appearing in every upcoming episode, and you don't either, so what makes Piplup any different? [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 22:22, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

:::Okay... appearently you haven't read anything I said to why Piplup should be treated different than Wobbuffet. <big><big>NEARLY 50 EPISODES STRAIGHT WITHOUT AN ABSCENCE.</big></big> That's why Piplup should be added in automatically. It be different if Piplup was absent every few episodes during this span but it wasn't. Wobbuffet has never appeared for 50 episodes without an absence. As for Meowth, he's an antagonist in himself. He really doesn't belong to anyone like Wobbuffet does. And he's actually appeared in every episode.

From http://www.pokemon-movie.jp:

:Ash and friends arrive in a town called Michiina to see its landmark ancient ruins. Next to some of the ruins is a beautiful lake. Suddenly, a wave emerges and chases our heroes, forming into a water funnel that surrounds and engulfs them. From within, a girl's voice yells, "Dialga, I beg you!" Dialga appears. [The summary doesn't say what happens to Dialga, but it implies that the funnel dissipates, which means Dialga probably leaves.]

:The girl is named Sheena and she protects the ruins. She can also read the hearts of Pokemon. She invites Ash and friends to the ruins and explains to them a "Time and Space Law" and how Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina relate to this law. She also talks about an old myth of Michiina. The myth states that Arceus created all things and in the ancient past saved all Pokemon from a meteor...

== Title translation ==
I'd like to note that 超克の時空 means the Space-Time of Overcoming/Conquering and not the other way around. Even if it doesn't make much sense, this means that "To the Conquering of Space-Time" is wrong and Serebii.net's "Towards The Overcome's Time Space" is the only English translation that seems correct with everyone else seemingly believing PokéBeach.
I think we need to correct this before people memorize the incorrect translation that we apparently see almost everywhere.
As for whether "overcoming" or "conquering", to me "overcoming" sounds more accurate, but I can't say for sure as I'm not a native English speaker. It should be considered that the official movie website has an explanation for the word which says that it means "to overcome difficulties/pain": http://www.pokemon-movie.jp/chokoku/
--[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 13:19, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

:Japanese is amazing eh? Considering ''everyone'' (including Serebii) has changed it to "To the Conquering of Space-Time" (and remember, the previous translation we had was "Towards Overcoming the Space-Time Void") there's either, A: a really bad translation going around, or B: People are all getting this from one source, i.e. the movie poster. [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 13:53, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

::I don't see where you read "To the Conquering of Space-Time" on Serebii.net - I clearly read "Towards The Overcome's Time Space" there.

:::What I meant was that most people over there are refering to it as such and Serebii himself has said that he is busy for the holidays, so it hasn't been changed yet. This universal translation; just accept it, its tenative anyway, we get the real title in Jan. And also, I can't read a word of Japanese, but if ''hundreds'' of fans can agree on a title, that says something. [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 16:22, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

::::I would be willing to accept it as a universal translation, but your reasoning to call it that is pretty flawed. The number of people who can really tell whether the translation is accurate is by far less than "hundreds", most just take what is written and take it as confirmed as long as it isn't corrected. And if you say yourself that you can't read Japanese, why are you taking part in this discussion then? I mean, I don't mind your input, but you don't seem to belong to the people who can validate a translation either. It also isn't as tenative as you seem to think. Going by how Japanese movie titles have been in previous years, the title (and the logo) will be almost the same in its final version, only having a Pokémon name added to it - most likely it will be something like "超克の時空へアルセウス". And that's why we need to work out a more accurate translation as the order of words/kanji in the title can't just be a mistake, or at least it's not safe at all to assume so. Now if nobody else is interested in discussing this, I assume I shouldn't just go about changing the article and moving it. I'd be glad if someone with more knowledge of Japanese could contribute to this discussion. --[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 11:28, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

I'll clear one thing up before I kick off the main point of the message: I fully believe that a movie featuring Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Spear Pillar will feature Arceus. HOWEVER, in the blurb for PikaProj09 on the movie list article (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_movie) it is stated that the movie is "expected to feature Arceus." By whom?

Looking at it from different angles, sometimes I think i can see its ears and a small part of its head. But that's what i think i saw so i didn't circle it. You can see it very well in the first pic.

Ok, Guys, I just want to say that, those of you still maintaining the site, I'll keep in the part on the Gen V Pokémon reveal speculation until December the 15th, only then, can we determine whether it should be kept in (As most of the info for the movie will be unveiled on that date.), if there is no mention of any Pokémon belonging to the new generation (not even showing a sihlouette, for that matter) then we must remove that tidbit.

Although, they could settle for a happy medium of sorts, something like having Cyrus appear in the movie but never in the series, and just have the Galactic admins make allusions to him in the series.

It was in the first two movies, is featured on the poster for this and the previous Pikachu movie. I get why you might not want it for the regular episodes but, come on now... There is really no good reason it wouldn't appear. Do you really think after all the writers have done with Piplup so far that there really going to make it skip a movie appearance? Or are you going to get all mad at me if I add it on the cast sheet?

You know, even IF I did want it to appear in the episodes, we still should wait for more information in regards to whether Piplup is actually appearing or not. For all we know, the poster could have just misled us. It's not like they haven't done that before [cough, cough, cough, cough, [[Palkia (anime)|Palkia]], [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|Sky Warrior]] poster cough, cough, cough, cough] [cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, [[Brock's Marshtomp|Mudkip]] and [[Ash's Sceptile|Treecko]] in [[Jirachi: Wish Maker|Jirachi poster]] cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough]. I won't argue that it should be erased, since, as you said, it's officially confirmed. However, for episodes, we DEFINITELY need to wait until the the previews at least before we add in Piplup. I mean, should we add in Wobbuffet in every single pokemon episode that's upcoming just because it appears in a lot of the episodes? Because that would be the same thing. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 20:50, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
:I was referring to the trailer, not the poster. Piplup was in the trailer. And Wobbuffet hasn't been in the anime for nearly 50 episodes straight without an absence. Piplup has. It's not just the number of episodes its appeared in. It's the consistency. Wobbuffet is in a lot of episodes but will be absent once every 10 or 15 episodes. Each week that passes, Piplup gets confirmed for yet another episode and some still wanna believe that its all of a sudden not going to appear next week. Besides, Wobbuffet belongs to an antagonist who are not the absolute central point of the anime like the heroes are. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 21:22, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

::Meowth belonged to the Antagonists, as well, and yet that never stopped people from adding in his name before. I'm not saying that Piplup shouldn't be in any episodes, I'm actually more neutral to the debate. All I'm saying that it still needs more information. And I still don't see too much of a difference between Piplup appearing and Wobbuffet appearing. I mean, at least with Pikachu, Meowth, and up until "A Togepi Mirage", Togepi, they weren't in pokeballs, so their appearances were definitely a given. Piplup, no matter how many appearances it's made in a way similar to Pikachu and Meowth, is still a pokeball pokemon that makes multiple appearances in episodes, not unlike Wobbuffet, in one sense. Unlike Piplup, Wobbuffet still doesn't get inserted into the cast pokemon of the episode [or rather, people aren't trying to insert it in.]. Basically, what I'm saying is that we shouldn't be too hasty to add in Piplup before we have undeniable proof that it's in. I mean, I don't add in Wobbuffet to the pokemon appearing in every upcoming episode, and you don't either, so what makes Piplup any different? [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 22:22, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

:::Okay... appearently you haven't read anything I said to why Piplup should be treated different than Wobbuffet. <big><big>NEARLY 50 EPISODES STRAIGHT WITHOUT AN ABSCENCE.</big></big> That's why Piplup should be added in automatically. It be different if Piplup was absent every few episodes during this span but it wasn't. Wobbuffet has never appeared for 50 episodes without an absence. As for Meowth, he's an antagonist in himself. He really doesn't belong to anyone like Wobbuffet does. And he's actually appeared in every episode.

First of all, I would like to point out to the comment above mentioning that Heatrans also on the poster. Also, shouldn't the title be renamed to "The Conquering of Space and Time"? There's no "To" anywhere in the text. And also, yes, Space and Time is written as Space-Time...but it should be translated to Space '''AND''' Time.

From http://www.pokemon-movie.jp:

:Ash and friends arrive in a town called Michiina to see its landmark ancient ruins. Next to some of the ruins is a beautiful lake. Suddenly, a wave emerges and chases our heroes, forming into a water funnel that surrounds and engulfs them. From within, a girl's voice yells, "Dialga, I beg you!" Dialga appears. [The summary doesn't say what happens to Dialga, but it implies that the funnel dissipates, which means Dialga probably leaves.]

:The girl is named Sheena and she protects the ruins. She can also read the hearts of Pokemon. She invites Ash and friends to the ruins and explains to them a "Time and Space Law" and how Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina relate to this law. She also talks about an old myth of Michiina. The myth states that Arceus created all things and in the ancient past saved all Pokemon from a meteor...

'''Wormadam''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミノマダム''' ''Minomadam'') is a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from [[gender|female]] {{p|Burmy}} starting at [[level]] 20.

It has three different secondary types: {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Grass}}, and {{t|Ground}}, determined by the cloak that Burmy was in when it last battled. In its Plant Cloak, it is {{2t|Bug|Grass}}, in its Sandy Cloak, it is {{2t|Bug|Ground}}, and in its Trash Cloak it is {{2t|Bug|Steel}}. Unlike Burmy, its cloak is permanent.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
The coat of leaves/sand/building insulator has now fused with Wormadam's body on a sub-molecular level. Wormadam's eyes have changed from yellow to white. Wormadam's beak is longer and is tipped with either green, brown or pink. Wormadam has a pair of arms that are either made from leaves, chains of brown pebbles or pink ribbons.
====Gender differences====
Wormadam is female only. For the male counterpart see {{p|Mothim}}.
====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
Wormadam appear to swing like a pendulum, with the ball at the top of it's antenna always staying in the exact same spot, even when hit with an attack, as if it was glued to that space. This may be to it's slightly {{type2|Psychic}} nature, learning many Psychic-type attacks naturally. However the antenna falls out of place when it faints.

===Habitat===
===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Cheryl]] has three Wormadam, each representing one of the forms. They appeared in ''[[DP030|Some Enchanted Sweetening]]''.

A group of Wormadam also appeared in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

A Sandy Cloak Wormadam belonging to [[Ursula]] appeared in ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Wormadam is unique for the fact that it can be three different types permanently yet shares a Pokédex entry and name.
* Each of Wormadam's three forms shares a [[type]] with another Pokémon: the Plant Cloak is the same type combination as {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Parasect}}, the Sandy Cloak is the same type combination as {{p|Nincada}}, and the Trash Cloak is the same type combination as {{p|Forretress}} and {{p|Scizor}}.
* Wormadam in her Plant Cloak is the only Grass-type that cannot learn {{m|Swords Dance}}.
* Wormadam was once the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] with [[form differences]] that learns different moves depending on her form. This is no longer true, as the different forms of Rotom all learn at least one different move from the others.
* Wormadam with a Sandy Cloak is the only form of Wormadam that does not have a 4× weakness.
* Wormadam with a Plant Cloak is the only form of Wormadam that does not have an immunity.
* Despite being a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon, Wormadam could not learn any Bug-type attacks until {{v2|Platinum}}.
* In its Sandy Cloak, Wormadam is the only Bug-type Pokémon capable of learning {{m|Fissure}}.
* Wormadam and {{p|Deoxys}} are the only Pokémon to have different EV yields depending on their form and are, as such, the only Pokémon with varying EV yields.
===Origin===
Wormadam is based on an adult female {{wp|bagworm}}, which never develops wings.
====Name origin====
Minomadam (the Japanese name) is a combination of 蓑虫 ''minomushi'', ''bagworm'', and ''madam'', indicating its exclusively female nature. Wormadam (the English name) is a combination of the words ''bagworm'' and ''madam''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Burmadame - From ''{{P|Burmy}}'', whose German name is the same as its English, and ''madame''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cheniselle - From ''chenille'' (caterpillar) and ''demoiselle'' (damsel).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 도롱마담 ''Dorongmadam''

'''Wormadam''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミノマダム''' ''Minomadam'') is a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from [[gender|female]] {{p|Burmy}} starting at [[level]] 20.

It has three different secondary types: {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Grass}}, and {{t|Ground}}, determined by the cloak that Burmy was in when it last battled. In its Plant Cloak, it is {{2t|Bug|Grass}}, in its Sandy Cloak, it is {{2t|Bug|Ground}}, and in its Trash Cloak it is {{2t|Bug|Steel}}. Unlike Burmy, its cloak is permanent.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
The coat of leaves/sand/building insulator has now fused with Wormadam's body on a sub-molecular level. Wormadam's eyes have changed from yellow to white. Wormadam's beak is longer and is tipped with either green, brown or pink. Wormadam has a pair of arms that are either made from leaves, chains of brown pebbles or pink ribbons.
====Gender differences====
Wormadam is female only. For the male counterpart see {{p|Mothim}}.
====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
Wormadam appear to swing like a pendulum, with the ball at the top of it's antenna always staying in the exact same spot, even when hit with an attack, as if it was glued to that space. This may be to it's slightly {{type2|Psychic}}] nature, learning many Psychic-type attacks naturally. However the antenna falls out of place when it faints.

===Habitat===
===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Cheryl]] has three Wormadam, each representing one of the forms. They appeared in ''[[DP030|Some Enchanted Sweetening]]''.

A group of Wormadam also appeared in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

A Sandy Cloak Wormadam belonging to [[Ursula]] appeared in ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Wormadam is unique for the fact that it can be three different types permanently yet shares a Pokédex entry and name.
* Each of Wormadam's three forms shares a [[type]] with another Pokémon: the Plant Cloak is the same type combination as {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Parasect}}, the Sandy Cloak is the same type combination as {{p|Nincada}}, and the Trash Cloak is the same type combination as {{p|Forretress}} and {{p|Scizor}}.
* Wormadam in her Plant Cloak is the only Grass-type that cannot learn {{m|Swords Dance}}.
* Wormadam was once the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] with [[form differences]] that learns different moves depending on her form. This is no longer true, as the different forms of Rotom all learn at least one different move from the others.
* Wormadam with a Sandy Cloak is the only form of Wormadam that does not have a 4× weakness.
* Wormadam with a Plant Cloak is the only form of Wormadam that does not have an immunity.
* Despite being a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon, Wormadam could not learn any Bug-type attacks until {{v2|Platinum}}.
* In its Sandy Cloak, Wormadam is the only Bug-type Pokémon capable of learning {{m|Fissure}}.
* Wormadam and {{p|Deoxys}} are the only Pokémon to have different EV yields depending on their form and are, as such, the only Pokémon with varying EV yields.
===Origin===
Wormadam is based on an adult female {{wp|bagworm}}, which never develops wings.
====Name origin====
Minomadam (the Japanese name) is a combination of 蓑虫 ''minomushi'', ''bagworm'', and ''madam'', indicating its exclusively female nature. Wormadam (the English name) is a combination of the words ''bagworm'' and ''madam''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Burmadame - From ''{{P|Burmy}}'', whose German name is the same as its English, and ''madame''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cheniselle - From ''chenille'' (caterpillar) and ''demoiselle'' (damsel).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 도롱마담 ''Dorongmadam''

'''Ekans''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アーボ''' ''Arbo'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Arbok}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
This reptilian Pokémon resembles a snake (its English name even being an anagram of the word "snake" spelled backward while other languages use an anagram of the word "boa"). It has a rattle at the tip of its tail, and is mostly purple while its underbelly, eyes, rattle, and the "bands" on it are yellow.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Ekans are able to detach their jaws to {{m|swallow}} large prey whole, although this makes their bodies heavy. It can also use its tongue to sense danger, and can move quietly through the grass.

===Behavior===
Like actual snakes, Ekans will lash out with a bite when frightened by anything it sees as a threat. If one happens to be bitten by a young Ekans, they are lucky. As an Ekans doesn't possess the ability to add poison to its bite until after it evolves into an Arbok, though this last bit of information clashes with Ekans's dungeon phrase.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Ekans live in grassy savannas and plains.

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

Ekans' favorite food is eggs from {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Spearow}} nests.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Jessie's Ekans.JPG|right|thumb|210px|Jessie's Ekans]]
===Major appearances===
Ekans was part of "Team Meanies" in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' Special. {{p|Gengar}} commanded the Poisonous Snake Pokémon to eat all the berries Team Go-Getters collected. At one point, Ekans was incorrectly referred to as Arbok by Gengar. While this was an intentional error that Ekans rebuked in the original version (due to the similarities in the Japanese names), this came across as a general mistake in the dub and was corrected in reairings of the episode.

====[[Jessie's Arbok|Jessie's Ekans]]====
[[Jessie]] had an Ekans, which for most of the [[original series]], was her only Pokémon. It was extremely loyal to her and eventually evolved into an {{p|Arbok}} just to make her happy.

====Other====
[[Rico|A poacher]] had captured a bunch of Ekans in [[AG006]].

Ekans made a cameo appearance in [[DP006]].

===Major appearances===

==In the manga==
[[Koga]] has an Ekans in [[Pokémon Special]].

A twin pair of Ekans are antagonists in [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]].

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

==In the TFG==
One Ekans figure has been released.

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Ekans|28}}

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Ekans is a member of [[Team Meanies]]. It attempted to climb [[Wish Cave]] with {{p|Medicham}} but collapsed on the first floor.

==Trivia==
*Ekans was originally going to use its Japanese name as its English name, "Arbo".
*In ''[[The Power of One]]'', it is shown that Ekans can swim, though to date it has never been able to learn {{m|Surf}}.
**Stragely, even though Ekans was shown swimming, it's evolution was seen with all the other Pokémon that were "stuck on land and unable to do a thing."
*An Ekans was originally going to be featured in [[Pokémon Snap]], shown in an early test shot of an environment that was never featured in the final product. This is also true of its evolution, Arbok.
*Ekans is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Poison Tail}} through breeding.
*Only the band around Ekans's neck is clearly visible, being a bright yellow color. Its other bands are the same color as the rest of its body, making them harder to see.
*Ekans is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[Meister (Sinnoh)|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
*The line in front of Ekans's eyes, which curve to meet the other eye, when seen from above, looks like the pattern of the {{wp|Spectacled Cobra}}.
*Ekans is the first pure {{t|Poison}} Pokémon in the National Dex order, though {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s and {{p|Weedle}}'s evolutionary lines, which are secondarily Poison, come before it.
*Despite what is said Ekans's Pokémon Silver and Crystal Pokédex entries, it is possible for an Ekans to hatch knowing Poison moves.
===Origin===
It appears to be based upon a boa and {{wp|rattlesnake}}.
====Name origin====
Ekans's name is ''snake'' spelled backwards. ''Arbo'' is either ''{{wp|cobra}}'' spelled backwards with the ''c'' removed, or a corruption of ''{{wp|boa}}'' spelled backwards.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Rettan - ''Natter'' (viper) backwards.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Abo - Most likely an anagram of ''boa''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 아보 ''Abo''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 阿柏蛇 ''Á Bó Shí'' - Transliteration of Ekans's Japanese name, Arbo. The last character, 蛇, means snake.

'''Ekans''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アーボ''' ''Arbo'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Arbok}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
This reptilian Pokémon resembles a snake (its English name even being an anagram of the word "snake" spelled backward while other languages use an anagram of the word "boa"). It has a rattle at the tip of its tail, and is mostly purple while its underbelly, eyes, rattle, and the "bands" on it are yellow.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Ekans are able to detach their jaws to {{m|swallow}} large prey whole, although this makes their bodies heavy. It can also use its tongue to sense danger, and can move quietly through the grass.

===Behavior===
Like actual snakes, Ekans will lash out with a bite when frightened by anything it sees as a threat. If one happens to be bitten by a young Ekans, they are lucky. As an Ekans doesn't possess the ability to add poison to its bite until after it evolves into an Arbok, though this last bit of information clashes with Ekans's dungeon phrase.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Ekans live in grassy savannas and plains.

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

Ekans' favorite food is eggs from {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Spearow}} nests.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Jessie's Ekans.JPG|right|thumb|210px|Jessie's Ekans]]
===Major appearances===
Ekans was part of "Team Meanies" in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' Special. {{p|Gengar}} commanded the Poisonous Snake Pokémon to eat all the berries Team Go-Getters collected. At one point, Ekans was incorrectly referred to as Arbok by Gengar. While this was an intentional error that Ekans rebuked in the original version (due to the similarities in the Japanese names), this came across as a general mistake in the dub and was corrected in reairings of the episode.

====[[Jessie's Arbok|Jessie's Ekans]]====
[[Jessie]] had an Ekans, which for most of the [[original series]], was her only Pokémon. It was extremely loyal to her and eventually evolved into an {{p|Arbok}} just to make her happy.

====Other====
[[Rico|A poacher]] had captured a bunch of Ekans in [[AG006]].

Ekans made a cameo appearance in [[DP006]].

===Major appearances===

==In the manga==
[[Koga]] has an Ekans in [[Pokémon Special]].

A twin pair of Ekans are antagonists in [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]].

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

==In the TFG==
One Ekans figure has been released.

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Ekans|28}}

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Ekans is a member of [[Team Meanies]]. It attempted to climb [[Wish Cave]] with {{p|Medicham}} but collapsed on the first floor.

==Trivia==
*Ekans was originally going to use its Japanese name as its English name, "Arbo".
*In ''[[The Power of One]]'', it is shown that Ekans can swim, though to date it has never been able to learn {{m|Surf}}.
**Stragely, even though Ekans was shown swiming, it's evolution was seen with all the other Pokémon that were "stuck on land and unable to do a thing."
*An Ekans was originally going to be featured in [[Pokémon Snap]], shown in an early test shot of an environment that was never featured in the final product. This is also true of its evolution, Arbok.
*Ekans is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Poison Tail}} through breeding.
*Only the band around Ekans's neck is clearly visible, being a bright yellow color. Its other bands are the same color as the rest of its body, making them harder to see.
*Ekans is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[Meister (Sinnoh)|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
*The line in front of Ekans's eyes, which curve to meet the other eye, when seen from above, looks like the pattern of the {{wp|Spectacled Cobra}}.
*Ekans is the first pure {{t|Poison}} Pokémon in the National Dex order, though {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s and {{p|Weedle}}'s evolutionary lines, which are secondarily Poison, come before it.
*Despite what is said Ekans's Pokémon Silver and Crystal Pokédex entries, it is possible for an Ekans to hatch knowing Poison moves.
===Origin===
It appears to be based upon a boa and {{wp|rattlesnake}}.
====Name origin====
Ekans's name is ''snake'' spelled backwards. ''Arbo'' is either ''{{wp|cobra}}'' spelled backwards with the ''c'' removed, or a corruption of ''{{wp|boa}}'' spelled backwards.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Rettan - ''Natter'' (viper) backwards.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Abo - Most likely an anagram of ''boa''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 아보 ''Abo''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 阿柏蛇 ''Á Bó Shí'' - Transliteration of Ekans's Japanese name, Arbo. The last character, 蛇, means snake.
