'''Mega Sol''' (Japanese: '''メガソーラー''' ''Mega Solar'') is an [[Ability]] introduced during [[Generation IX]], in {{g|Champions}}. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{me|Meganium}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Mega Sol causes all moves used by the Pokémon with this Ability to behave as though the weather were [[harsh sunlight]], regardless of the actual weather on the field. This means that, when used by a Pokémon with Mega Sol:
* {{m|Solar Beam}} and {{m|Solar Blade}} are executed in a single turn, instead of requiring a turn to charge.

* {{m|Weather Ball}} is a {{type|Fire}} move with a base power of 100.
* {{m|Synthesis}}, {{m|Moonlight}}, and {{m|Morning Sun}} restore ⅔ of the Pokémon's maximum HP.
* {{m|Thunder}} and {{m|Hurricane}} have their accuracy reduced to 50%.
* All Fire-type moves used by the Pokémon have their power increased by 50%, and all {{type|Water}} moves used by the Pokémon have their power decreased by 50%.

Because Mega Sol does not alter the weather itself, it is unaffected by the weather-negating effect of {{a|Cloud Nine}}. It also bypasses the {{stat|Special Defense}} boost granted to {{type|Rock}} Pokémon during {{weather|sandstorm}} and the {{stat|Defense}} boost granted to {{type|Ice}} Pokémon during {{weather|snow}}. Additionally, Solar Beam and Solar Blade do not have their power halved under [[rain]], snow, or sandstorm when used by a Pokémon with Mega Sol.

If a Pokémon with Mega Sol uses {{m|Growth}} and harsh sunlight isn't already on the field, the move won't have any effect.

{{Ability/foot|grass}}

==Trivia==
* Prior to its introduction in {{g|Champions}}, Mega Sol was first referenced in {{me|Meganium}}'s [[Pokédex entry]] from {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, despite the absence of {{Abilities}}. The entry mentioned "Mega Sol Cannon", referring to a "[[Plus Move|tremendously powerful]]" {{m|Solar Beam}} used by Mega Meganium.<ref>''"This Pokémon can fire a [[Plus Move|tremendously powerful]] {{m|Solar Beam}} from its four flowers. Another name for this is '''Mega Sol''' Cannon."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}}, [[Pokédex entry]] for {{me|Meganium}})</ref>
** In addition to this, the moves affected by Mega Sol act similarly to how they would act as [[Plus Move]]s in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, such as the aforementioned Solar Beam.

The '''Terarium''', also referred to as the '''Terarium Dome''' (Japanese: '''テラリウムドーム''' ''Terarium Dome''), is a facility of [[Blueberry Academy]] which sustains a variety of artificial biomes for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
[[File:SV Ditto Block.png|250px|thumb|A Ditto Block found in the Terarium]]
A world-renowned undersea facility constructed as a supportive learning environment for strong {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, the Terarium is divided into four areas: a [[Savanna Biome]], a [[Coastal Biome]], a [[Canyon Biome]], and a [[Polar Biome]]. Each biome has different climates, ecosystems, and [[wild Pokémon]], even including foreign [[regional form]] Pokémon such as {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Exeggutor}}, {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}}, {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Qwilfish}}, and [[starter Pokémon]]. The temperature of each area is also carefully regulated. The facility is enclosed within an artificial sky dome that changes to simulate the weather and time of day.<ref>(June 21, 2023). "[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/dlc_locations/ Mossui Town—Your Base of Operations during Your School Trip!]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website</ref> In the center of the facility, is [[Central Plaza]], a lobby area for students to take breaks between classes, as well as an easy way to travel from biome to biome.

The Terarium is located at the deepest end of the school, taking place beneath the school's classrooms and dorms, which are also underwater. Each biome contains small classrooms as well, allowing for students to learn within the biomes and environments that the Terarium provides. There is also multiple biome centered plazas, one for each of the [[Elite Four]] member. Each plaza, including Central Plaza, includes a battle field used for battling other students and Elite Four Members. Each of the Elite Four members have their trial in their respective themed biomes. Smaller healing stations and shelters are also seen throughout the Terarium, allowing the students and Trainers to take rest and recover.

The Terarium Core that hangs from the roof of the Terarium is filled with a mixture of [[Paldea]]n soil and water from the [[Crystal Pool]] in Kitakami, which is what stabilizes the [[Terastal phenomenon]] at [[Blueberry Academy]]. After the events of [[The Indigo Disk]], crystals from the [[Area Zero]] underdepths are added to the mixture which allows wild Pokémon to Terastallize into the {{t|Stellar}} [[type]]. The Terarium core is designed and maintained by [[Briar]].

Throughout the Terarium, the player can complete [[Blueberry Quest]]s to earn [[Blueberry Point|BP]], these quests can range from numerous objectives, such as taking pictures, catching or defeating of certain Pokémon in specific ways; collecting items, or making [[TM]]s. Several block-like formations taking the form of shelters, bridges, platforms and other formations are spread out through the Terarium. As a part of group quests, various Ditto Blocks<ref name=DittoBlock>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/_images/news/dec_23/p10_03_en.jpg Screenshot from the SV website showing a quest with a Ditto Block.]</ref> can be found in these formations, where {{p|Ditto}} will seemingly transform into a large cube with rounded edges. Despite being milestones for the player to obtain, and not actually obtainable themselves, they can still be {{Shiny}}.<ref name=ShinyDittoBlock>[https://twitter.com/jflash727/status/1735463386895270079 A player finding a Shiny Ditto block in the Terarium.]</ref>

When in the Terarium, the player can talk to [[Synclaire]] in order to access the [[Synchro Machine]], allowing them to see the world through the eyes of their Pokémon.

Due to being located in [[Unova]], Pokémon with regional forms cannot produce offspring that are regional forms themselves without the use of an Everstone and any Pokémon who evolves into another Pokémon with a regional form (such as {{p|Exeggcute}} or {{p|Pikachu}}) cannot evolve into said regional forms, even if the biome has an environment set for them.

'''Paradox Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''パラドックスポケモン''' ''Paradox Pokémon'') are a group of [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] introduced in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. They have two subgroups: one resembling ancient relatives of contemporary Pokémon{{sup/9|S}}, and one resembling futuristic relatives of contemporary Pokémon{{sup/9|V}}. They are all [[gender unknown]] and unable to [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]], and — with the exceptions of {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} — their names do not follow regular naming conventions. [[List of categories by abundance|All of them share]] the titular {{pkmn|category}} of "Paradox Pokémon".

They are also known as '''unidentified creatures''', '''Monsters of Area Zero''', and '''Enigmas of Paldea''' by researchers and {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine articles, respectively. [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} are the head researchers on the Paradox Pokémon. The professors also refer to the Paradox Pokémon as '''ancient Pokémon'''{{sup/9|S}}/'''future Pokémon'''{{sup/9|V}}. In the present, the true origins of the Paradox Pokémon is unknown. [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} claimed that these Pokémon originate from different points in the [[Pokémon world]]'s timeline, while the real professors from a past prior to building the Time Machine claimed that they are from parallel timelines. {{p|Terapagos}} is the source of the Paradox Pokémon's appearance in the present day.

* In one arid corner of Paldea, there have been reports of a mysterious life-form. It's said to resemble a Donphan at first glance, albeit one with gigantic tusks, tough scales, and an aggressive disposition.
* Leading theories hold that this being is nothing less than a living relic of the dinosaur era, but no one can say for sure. Apparently, it's called Great Tusk after the name of a strange being that was written about in the mysterious Scarlet Book.

* Somewhere in a Paldean forest, it's said, lurks Scream Tail—a being with Jigglypuff's own endearing puffball appearance but also a ferocious aggression that leads it to attack anyone who comes near.
* Its primitive appearance and savage nature have prompted rumors that it could be a Jigglypuff from one billion years ago. It's named after a creature in the Scarlet Book that is described as having a distinctive tail and scream.

* This bizarre creature is said to combine traits of dinosaurs with those of the Pokémon Amoonguss. It's named after a fierce mushroom creature of matching description that appears in the renowned Scarlet Book.
* Brute Bonnet certainly resembles Amoonguss, though with its own unique twists: its gigantic stature and seemingly low intelligence combine to make it a savage, powerful fighter.

* Flutter Mane—a name taken from a strange creature with a matching description appearing in the Scarlet Book—is said to float around the sky at night with its long hair writhing about it.
* Eyewitness accounts describe it as resembling a giant Misdreavus at first glance, albeit a highly fierce and aggressive one. Some believe that it's a ghost of a pterosaur from a long-gone era.

* There have been precious few sightings reported of the ultra-mysterious Slither Wing, a being whose name is taken from that of a similar-seeming creature described in the ever-puzzling Scarlet Book.
* Slither Wing shares traits with Volcarona, so some theorize that it may have been revived from fossils from a prehistoric era that we have discussed in these pages. However, no Volcarona fossils of that era are known to have been found.

* Some scientists claim that this mysterious being is a Magneton that has lived for 10 thousand years. It has been sighted numerous times in Paldea's more arid regions, but there are no reports of it ever having been caught.
* It's said that Sandy Shocks is an aggressive sort and that some people who've seen it have been attacked as well. It takes its name from a beast with a matching description in the era-defining Scarlet Book.

* This elusive creature is called Roaring Moon after a similarly described being in the Scarlet Book. It looks similar to Salamence when they undergo [[Mega Evolution|a certain phenomenon elsewhere in the world]], but it's unclear if there is any connection.
* This creature scatters feathers as it flies around at high speeds seeking prey. It's thought to be more savage than Salamence, and if you should encounter one, it's imperative that you avoid actual contact.

* In one arid corner of Paldea, there have been reports of a mysterious life-form. It's said to resemble a Donphan at first glance, albeit one that can abruptly assume a spherical shape and launch into a swift rolling attack.
* Rumors say this being is some kind of weapon using technology not of this world, but no one can say for sure. Apparently, it's called Iron Treads after the name of a strange being that was written about in the mysterious Violet Book.

* The mysterious Violet Book makes reference to a being called Iron Bundle, which was said to look like Delibird and to possess a spherical apparatus from which it would fire huge blasts of ice to propel itself through snowy lands.
* Plenty of theories about it have been floated. A leading one suggests it is the product of a long-gone civilization—a notion supported by ancient writings that describe the design and usage of machines resembling Iron Bundle.

* This being's name comes from the one given to an iron-handed entity in the mysterious Violet Book. It is said to have fists that move independent of its body and to be capable of throwing large, fast-moving vehicles.
* A leading theory holds that Iron Hands was once an athlete who became mortally wounded but was kept alive by being made into a cyborg. Why it so strongly resembles Hariyama, however, remains unanswered.

* This flying life-form bearing a resemblance to Hydreigon has been seen in a certain corner of Paldea. It was reported to have razed an entire building with a high-energy blast, then flown off as if to find its next objective.
* Iron Jugulis is theorized to be a sort of machine-Hydreigon hybrid, as it combines the former's ruthlessness with the latter's ferocity. It takes its name from a similarly described entity in the Violet Book.

* The name Iron Moth was borrowed from that of a flying object described in the era-defining Violet Book. It was said to resemble Volcarona and would descend from the skies, following people around and occasionally even attacking them.
* Some point to Iron Moth's aggression as a sign that it is, in fact, a UFO of sorts being controlled by alien life. Perhaps something out there is using Iron Moth to observe us, waiting for the moment to mount an invasion...

* A strange being called Iron Thorns has been sighted in a certain cave in Paldea. This being bears a strong resemblance to Tyranitar, but it apparently displays great coolheadedness and prefers to avoid unnecessary fights.
* It appears to be highly intelligent and clad in metallic armor, causing some to speculate that it may be a Tyranitar as it would appear a billion years from now. Its name comes from a similarly described entity that appears in the Violet Book.

==In the core series games==
===History===
{{spoilers}}
;Pre-games
It is unknown where the Paradox Pokémon originate from. Conflicting accounts claim that they either come from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}, or from alternate timelines.

;Area Zero expedition
[[File:Scarlet Book Great Tusk.png|thumb|200px|alt=An illustration of Great Tusk from the Scarlet Book|Illustration of {{p|Great Tusk}}, a Paradox Pokémon in the [[Scarlet Book]] that resembles {{p|Donphan}}.]]
[[File:Violet Book Iron Treads.png|thumb|200px|alt=An illustration of Iron Treads from the Violet Book|Illustration of {{p|Iron Treads}}, a Paradox Pokémon in the [[Violet Book]] that resembles {{p|Donphan}}.]]
The first recorded sightings of Paradox Pokémon were documented 200 years before the events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, in [[Area Zero]] within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] located in the center of the [[Paldea]] [[region]]. A member of the Area Zero expedition team, an author and natural historian named [[Heath]], wrote about these sightings in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}. Area Zero would be occupied by scientists researching the Paradox Pokémon and the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. During the expedition, a member of the team was fatally injured by a {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}} that attacked them, and another survey team member managed to take a photograph of the encountered Paradox Pokémon.

[[File:Scarlet Book Legendary-Beast.png|thumb|200px|Imaginary Paradox Pokémon from the Scarlet Book that resembles a fusion of the [[Legendary beasts]]]]
[[File:Violet Book Sword-Justice.png|thumb|200px|Imaginary Paradox Pokémon from the Violet Book that resembles a fusion of the [[Swords of Justice]]]]
At some point, the team's sketch artist made a drawing inspired by the Paradox Pokémon they had seen, imagining what other species in the crater might look like, which resembled a combined version of the [[Legendary beast]]s{{sup/9|S}}/[[Swords of Justice]]{{sup/9|V}}. {{p|Walking Wake}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Leaves}}{{sup/9|V}}, {{p|Gouging Fire}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Boulder}}{{sup/9|V}}, and {{p|Raging Bolt}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Crown}}{{sup/9|V}} would be later discovered, resembling the sketch, but their connection is unclear. It is unclear how these first Paradox Pokémon arrived in Paldea. It is later revealed they were brought over by {{p|Terapagos}}.

;Occulture
Eventually, a paranormal magazine called {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} published articles on these sightings and theorized about what the Paradox Pokémon could be. At the time, the Paradox Pokémon were believed to have been fabricated by Heath, thus not being considered real. As a result, Heath and his team were widely discredited. The Paradox Pokémon faded into obscurity and research on them ended for a time.

;Project Tera
10 years before the events of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the Paradox Pokémon claimed to be from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}} were brought to Area Zero using a Time Machine built by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} through Terapagos's [[Terastal energy]]. The professor is said to have used the Time Machine to send [[Poké Ball]]s to different points in the timeline. The Poké Balls then caught the Paradox Pokémon, before bringing them into modern time. The reason the professor created the time machine was because they were fascinated with the Paradox Pokémon after reading about them from the Scarlet Book/Violet Book.

The professor conducted research on these Pokémon, with the ultimate goal of establishing a sanctuary in which they would be able to coexist with modern-day Pokémon. This goal would be called Project Tera. At some point, the professor created an AI version of themselves, to assist in research on Paradox Pokémon, using the very same [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastal energy]] that helped create the time machine. However, due to how dangerous they were to the ecosystem of Paldea, the Paradox Pokémon were kept locked away in Area Zero. At some point, security blocks and a Poké Ball Lock System were created to help both protect the time machine and Paradox Pokémon.

The player's {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} was the first of the Paradox Pokémon to be brought into the present; a second specimen was later brought into the present as well, but it proved to be far more aggressive than the original and drove it away in a territorial dispute. It is later revealed that the professor was killed by the second specimen while defending the first. Because of this, the Paradox Pokémon would continue to arrive in the present and eventually form their own population in Area Zero. Meanwhile, the professor's AI counterpart realized that the project was a mistake and that their creator's dreams were doomed to failure; however, their programming prevented them from doing anything that might stop the project directly.

;The Quaking Earth Titan
Later, shortly before the events of Scarlet and Violet, a lone {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}} managed to escape Area Zero and become a [[Titan Pokémon]] after eating the [[Herba Mystica]] while roaming the [[Asado Desert]]. During the events of the games, the {{player}} and [[Arven]] defeat it, putting an end to its rampage.

;The Way Home
During the events of The Way Home in Scarlet and Violet, the player, Arven, [[Nemona]], and [[Penny]] encountered several Paradox Pokémon while heading deeper into Area Zero. At Research Station 2, they encountered a wild {{p|Scream Tail}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Bundle}}{{sup/9|V}}, which Penny mistook for an ordinary {{p|Jigglypuff}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Delibird}}{{sup/9|V}} until it became hostile. At Research Station 3, they encountered a wild Great Tusk{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, like the one fought in the Asado Desert. Then, outside the [[Zero Lab]], the other Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} was encountered before the group was ambushed by a group of Paradox Pokémon: Great Tusk, {{p|Brute Bonnet}}, and {{p|Flutter Mane}}{{sup/9|S}}; or Iron Treads, {{p|Iron Hands}}, and {{p|Iron Jugulis}}{{sup/9|V}}. The AI professor's Paradox Protection Protocol fights the player using seven Paradox Pokémon in an attempt to defend the time machine. After a long battle, the player and their Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} successfully defeat the Paradox Protection Protocol and the other Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}. The time machine that summoned the Paradox Pokémon was then shut down when the AI professor used it one final time to travel to the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}.

;Post-game Paradoxes
Afterward, the rest of the Paradox Pokémon can be found in Area Zero during the post-game, including {{p|Roaring Moon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Valiant}}{{sup/9|V}} and the second {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}. {{p|Walking Wake}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Leaves}}{{sup/9|V}} have only appeared in special [[Poké Portal News]] event [[Tera Raid Battle]]s. Great Tusk{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, Slither Wing{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Moth{{sup/9|V}}, and Iron Bundle have also appeared in special Tera Raids.

;The Indigo Disk
Later on after helping [[Perrin]] find the {{p|Ursaluna|Bloodmoon Beast}} in [[The Teal Mask]], she appears in the [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]] and shows the player two blurry pictures, one of {{p|Gouging Fire}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Boulder}}{{sup/9|V}} and one of {{p|Raging Bolt}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Crown}}{{sup/9|V}}. After that, the two Paradox Pokémon can be encountered in Area Zero close to where the pictures were taken.

During [[Briar]]'s expedition in [[Area Zero Underdepths]], the player encounters a [[Stellar (type)|Stellar Tera]] Sandy Shocks{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Thorns{{sup/9|V}} that they needed to defeat in order to travel deeper.

The Paradox Pokémon Great Tusk, Iron Treads, Koraidon, and Miraidon appear in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] starting with the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Scarlet ex}} and {{TCG|Violet ex}} expansions) as {{TCG|Pokémon ex}} cards. Non-Pokémon ex versions of Koraidon and Miraidon were also released in the same expansion.

Starting with the {{TCG|Paradox Rift}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Ancient Roar}} and {{TCG|Future Flash}} expansions), two new categories of cards were introduced: '''{{TCG|Ancient}}''' and '''{{TCG|Future}}''', which includes all cards of Paradox Pokémon released in this set. Ancient Pokémon cards tend to have direct attacks that deal a large amount of damage, while being difficult to Knock Out. Future Pokémon cards tend to have Abilities and attacks with extra effects, allowing for craftier strategies.

==Trivia==
* The Pokédex entries for each group of Paradox Pokémon in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} share a common theme depending on the version:
** Scarlet's entries regarding ancient Pokémon and Violet's entries regarding future Pokémon cite an "expedition journal" or an "old book", referring to the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}.
** Violet's entries regarding ancient Pokémon and Scarlet's entries regarding future Pokémon cite a "paranormal" or "dubious" magazine, referring to {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}}.
* {{p|Donphan}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Cyclizar}} are the only Pokémon to have both ancient and future Paradox Pokémon counterparts.
** All three of these Pokémon have {{type|Fighting}} ancient counterparts.
* {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} are the only Paradox Pokémon with a [[signature Ability]].
* {{p|Iron Valiant}} is the only Paradox Pokémon to be based on more than one Pokémon.
* {{p|Roaring Moon}}, {{p|Iron Jugulis}}, and {{p|Iron Thorns}} are the only Paradox Pokémon to have a lower base stat total than their contemporary counterparts.
* Every unevolved contemporary relative of a Paradox Pokémon can evolve further using an [[Evolution stone]].
** Every Paradox Pokémon that is based on an unevolved Pokémon is an ancient Pokémon.
* No Paradox Pokémon based on a {{DL|Version-exclusive Pokémon|Scarlet and Violet|version-exclusive Pokémon}} is available in the same version as its present-day counterpart in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, except for the post-release Paradox Pokémon based on [[Legendary trio]]s; for example, both {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Raging Bolt}} are exclusive to Pokémon Scarlet.
** Of these, {{p|Flutter Mane}} is the only one not based on a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].
* All Paradox Pokémon are dual-[[type]].
** All Paradox Pokémon share one of their types with their apparent relatives and have another type that the relative lacks.
** There is at least one Paradox Pokémon of every type except {{t|Normal}}.
** {{t|Dragon}} is the most common types for Paradox Pokémon to have, with six Paradox Pokémon having it.
** Miraidon and {{p|Raging Bolt}} are the only Paradox Pokémon to share both of their types with each other.
* Excluding Koraidon and Miraidon, all ancient Pokémon have odd-numbered [[base stats]] while all future Pokémon have even-numbered base stats.
* All future Paradox Pokémon have "Iron" (or the equivalent in other languages) in their names.
** While this does not explicitly apply to Miraidon, its alternate name is "Iron Serpent", as mentioned in its Pokédex entry from Pokémon Violet.
** Despite them all having "Iron" in their names, only {{p|Iron Treads}} and {{p|Iron Crown}} are actually {{type|Steel}}.
* The naming convention for Paradox Pokémon differs by language:
** In Japanese, {{pmin|Spanish}}, {{pmin|Italian}} and {{pmin|German}}, along with all East Asian translations, Paradox Pokémon are named with a single word.
** In {{pmin|English}}, Paradox Pokémon are named with a two-word descriptor; all future Paradox Pokémon have "Iron" as the first word in their names.
** In {{pmin|French}}, Paradox Pokémon are named with two or three words hyphenated into a single name; all future Paradox Pokémon have the suffix "-de-Fer" in their names.
* All ancient Pokémon are taller than the Pokémon they are based on, while all future Pokémon except Miraidon are shorter.
** Furthermore, all ancient Pokémon weigh more than the Pokémon they are based on except {{p|Sandy Shocks}}, which weighs the same as {{p|Magneton}}.
* Raging Bolt and Gouging Fire are the only ancient Paradox Pokémon that do not have yellow eyes.
* The [[cry|cries]] of all Paradox Pokémon except Koraidon and Miraidon sample the cries of their contemporary relatives. Furthermore, all ancient Pokémon share a unique whistle-like sound frequency in their cries, while all future Pokémon cries share a unique electronic, mechanical noise.
* All [[move]]s learned by Paradox Pokémon via leveling up are learned at levels which are multiples of 7 (excluding level 1).
* In their battle against the player in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} uses every Paradox Pokémon introduced before the 1.2.0 update in that version of the game, with the exception of {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, which is instead fought as a [[Titan Pokémon]] earlier in the story.
* [[Generation II]] has the most Paradox Pokémon counterparts of Pokémon that debuted during it, at seven. Out of the [[generation]]s that have at least one, [[Generation IV]] has the fewest, at {{p|Gallade|one}}.
* No Pokémon introduced in [[Generation]]s {{gen|VI}}, {{gen|VII}}, or {{gen|VIII}} have Paradox Pokémon counterparts.
** However, Roaring Moon is based on [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Salamence}}, a form that was introduced in Generation VI.
* In the Scarlet and Violet Books, there is a sketch of an imaginary Pokémon based on Paradox Pokémon found in Area Zero. The drawing in the Scarlet Book resembles a fusion of the three [[Legendary beasts]], while that of the Violet Book resembles a fusion of the three [[Swords of Justice]]. These designs are seemingly meant to be of fusions between {{p|Walking Wake}}, Raging Bolt, and {{p|Gouging Fire}}; and {{p|Iron Leaves}}, {{p|Iron Crown}}, and {{p|Iron Boulder}}.
* The Paradox Pokémon based on both the Legendary beasts and Swords of Justice are the only ones not to be in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]].
* The Paradox Pokémon share similarities with the [[Ultra Beast]]s, another group of Pokémon.
** Both only consist of Pokémon that cannot evolve in their debut games.
** Both play a role in the main story of their debut games.
** Both groups consist only of [[gender unknown]] Pokémon that are [[No Eggs Discovered (Egg Group)|unable to breed]].
** Both are connected to certain Legendary Pokémon.
** Both have base stats themed around a certain type of number, with the ancient Paradox Pokémon having odd-numbered base stats and future Paradox Pokémon having even-numbered base stats, while Ultra Beasts have base stats themed around prime numbers.
*** Additionally, the levels they learn moves at are themed around certain numbers, with Paradox Pokémon learning moves at levels that are multiples of seven, while Ultra Beasts learn moves at levels that are prime numbers (in [[Generation VII]]).
** The majority of Pokémon in both groups have a base stat total of 570.
** Every non-Legendary Paradox Pokémon and every Ultra Beast has an Ability that boosts its most proficient non-{{stat|HP}} stat.
** Promotional material for both groups' debut games did not refer to them as Pokémon or reveal any of their types prior to the games' releases.
** Characters in the games are initially unsure whether the members of either group are actually Pokémon.
* The Paradox Pokémon are similar to the [[ecologically similar Pokémon]] in that they bear a striking resemblance to certain other Pokémon but are nonetheless completely different species.
* The term "Paradox Pokémon" may be a reference to ''{{wp|Animalia Paradoxa}}''.
* The Paradox Pokémon (excluding Koraidon and Miraidon) and {{p|Type: Null}} are the only Pokémon to have [[List of Spanish Pokémon names|Spanish]] and [[List of Italian Pokémon names|Italian]] names different to their English names.

'''Paradox Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''パラドックスポケモン''' ''Paradox Pokémon'') are a group of [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] introduced in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. They have two subgroups: one resembling ancient relatives of contemporary Pokémon{{sup/9|S}}, and one resembling futuristic relatives of contemporary Pokémon{{sup/9|V}}. They are all [[gender unknown]] and unable to [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]], and — with the exceptions of {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} — their names do not follow regular naming conventions. [[List of categories by abundance|All of them share]] the titular {{pkmn|category}} of "Paradox Pokémon".

They are also known as '''unidentified creatures''', '''Monsters of Area Zero''', and '''Enigmas of Paldea''' by researchers and {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine articles, respectively. [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} are the head researchers on the Paradox Pokémon. The professors also refer to the Paradox Pokémon as '''ancient Pokémon'''{{sup/9|S}}/'''future Pokémon'''{{sup/9|V}}. In the present, the true origins of the Paradox Pokémon is unknown. [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} claimed that these Pokémon originate from different points in the [[Pokémon world]]'s timeline, while the real professors from a past prior to building the Time Machine claimed that they are from parallel timelines. {{p|Terapagos}} is the source of the Paradox Pokémon's appearance in the present day.

==List of Paradox Pokémon==
====Ancient Pokémon====
These Pokémon look like ancient relatives of contemporary Pokémon. They all share the {{a|Protosynthesis}} [[Ability]], with the exception of {{p|Koraidon}}, which has {{a|Orichalcum Pulse}}. Their Abilities involve the effect of [[harsh sunlight]] in battle.

| style="text-align: left" | '''Great Tusk: A Living Relic of the Dinosaur Era?!'''
* In one arid corner of Paldea, there have been reports of a mysterious life-form. It's said to resemble a Donphan at first glance, albeit one with gigantic tusks, tough scales, and an aggressive disposition.
* Leading theories hold that this being is nothing less than a living relic of the dinosaur era, but no one can say for sure. Apparently, it's called Great Tusk after the name of a strange being that was written about in the mysterious Scarlet Book.

* Somewhere in a Paldean forest, it's said, lurks Scream Tail—a being with Jigglypuff's own endearing puffball appearance but also a ferocious aggression that leads it to attack anyone who comes near.
* Its primitive appearance and savage nature have prompted rumors that it could be a Jigglypuff from one billion years ago. It's named after a creature in the Scarlet Book that is described as having a distinctive tail and scream.

* This bizarre creature is said to combine traits of dinosaurs with those of the Pokémon Amoonguss. It's named after a fierce mushroom creature of matching description that appears in the renowned Scarlet Book.
* Brute Bonnet certainly resembles Amoonguss, though with its own unique twists: its gigantic stature and seemingly low intelligence combine to make it a savage, powerful fighter.

* Flutter Mane—a name taken from a strange creature with a matching description appearing in the Scarlet Book—is said to float around the sky at night with its long hair writhing about it.
* Eyewitness accounts describe it as resembling a giant Misdreavus at first glance, albeit a highly fierce and aggressive one. Some believe that it's a ghost of a pterosaur from a long-gone era.

| style="text-align: left" | '''Slither Wing: A Prehistoric Volcarona, Revived?!'''
* There have been precious few sightings reported of the ultra-mysterious Slither Wing, a being whose name is taken from that of a similar-seeming creature described in the ever-puzzling Scarlet Book.
* Slither Wing shares traits with Volcarona, so some theorize that it may have been revived from fossils from a prehistoric era that we have discussed in these pages. However, no Volcarona fossils of that era are known to have been found.

| style="text-align: left" | '''Sandy Shocks: A Magneton with a 10-Thousand-Year Lifespan?!'''
* Some scientists claim that this mysterious being is a Magneton that has lived for 10 thousand years. It has been sighted numerous times in Paldea's more arid regions, but there are no reports of it ever having been caught.
* It's said that Sandy Shocks is an aggressive sort and that some people who've seen it have been attacked as well. It takes its name from a beast with a matching description in the era-defining Scarlet Book.

* This elusive creature is called Roaring Moon after a similarly described being in the Scarlet Book. It looks similar to Salamence when they undergo [[Mega Evolution|a certain phenomenon elsewhere in the world]], but it's unclear if there is any connection.
* This creature scatters feathers as it flies around at high speeds seeking prey. It's thought to be more savage than Salamence, and if you should encounter one, it's imperative that you avoid actual contact.

* In one arid corner of Paldea, there have been reports of a mysterious life-form. It's said to resemble a Donphan at first glance, albeit one that can abruptly assume a spherical shape and launch into a swift rolling attack.
* Rumors say this being is some kind of weapon using technology not of this world, but no one can say for sure. Apparently, it's called Iron Treads after the name of a strange being that was written about in the mysterious Violet Book.

* The mysterious Violet Book makes reference to a being called Iron Bundle, which was said to look like Delibird and to possess a spherical apparatus from which it would fire huge blasts of ice to propel itself through snowy lands.
* Plenty of theories about it have been floated. A leading one suggests it is the product of a long-gone civilization—a notion supported by ancient writings that describe the design and usage of machines resembling Iron Bundle.

| style="text-align: left" | '''Iron Hands: Secretly a Cyborg?!'''
* This being's name comes from the one given to an iron-handed entity in the mysterious Violet Book. It is said to have fists that move independent of its body and to be capable of throwing large, fast-moving vehicles.
* A leading theory holds that Iron Hands was once an athlete who became mortally wounded but was kept alive by being made into a cyborg. Why it so strongly resembles Hariyama, however, remains unanswered.

* This flying life-form bearing a resemblance to Hydreigon has been seen in a certain corner of Paldea. It was reported to have razed an entire building with a high-energy blast, then flown off as if to find its next objective.
* Iron Jugulis is theorized to be a sort of machine-Hydreigon hybrid, as it combines the former's ruthlessness with the latter's ferocity. It takes its name from a similarly described entity in the Violet Book.

* The name Iron Moth was borrowed from that of a flying object described in the era-defining Violet Book. It was said to resemble Volcarona and would descend from the skies, following people around and occasionally even attacking them.
* Some point to Iron Moth's aggression as a sign that it is, in fact, a UFO of sorts being controlled by alien life. Perhaps something out there is using Iron Moth to observe us, waiting for the moment to mount an invasion...

* A strange being called Iron Thorns has been sighted in a certain cave in Paldea. This being bears a strong resemblance to Tyranitar, but it apparently displays great coolheadedness and prefers to avoid unnecessary fights.
* It appears to be highly intelligent and clad in metallic armor, causing some to speculate that it may be a Tyranitar as it would appear a billion years from now. Its name comes from a similarly described entity that appears in the Violet Book.

* According to its few eyewitnesses, Iron Valiant appears similar to both Gardevoir and Gallade. It's also said to be cruel enough to take its brilliantly shining blade and cut down anyone confronting it without hesitation.

===History===
{{spoilers}}
;Pre-games
It is unknown where the Paradox Pokémon originate from. Conflicting accounts claim that they either come from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}, or from alternate timelines.

;Area Zero expedition
[[File:Scarlet Book Great Tusk.png|thumb|200px|alt=An illustration of Great Tusk from the Scarlet Book|Illustration of {{p|Great Tusk}}, a Paradox Pokémon in the [[Scarlet Book]] that resembles {{p|Donphan}}.]]
[[File:Violet Book Iron Treads.png|thumb|200px|alt=An illustration of Iron Treads from the Violet Book|Illustration of {{p|Iron Treads}}, a Paradox Pokémon in the [[Violet Book]] that resembles {{p|Donphan}}.]]
The first recorded sightings of Paradox Pokémon were documented 200 years before the events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, in [[Area Zero]] within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] located in the center of the [[Paldea]] [[region]]. A member of the Area Zero expedition team, an author and natural historian named [[Heath]], wrote about these sightings in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}. Area Zero would be occupied by scientists researching the Paradox Pokémon and the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. During the expedition, a member of the team was fatally injured by a {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}} that attacked them, and another survey team member managed to take a photograph of the encountered Paradox Pokémon.

[[File:Scarlet Book Legendary-Beast.png|thumb|200px|Imaginary Paradox Pokémon from the Scarlet Book that resembles a fusion of the [[Legendary beasts]]]]
[[File:Violet Book Sword-Justice.png|thumb|200px|Imaginary Paradox Pokémon from the Violet Book that resembles a fusion of the [[Swords of Justice]]]]
At some point, the team's sketch artist made a drawing inspired by the Paradox Pokémon they had seen, imagining what other species in the crater might look like, which resembled a combined version of the [[Legendary beast]]s{{sup/9|S}}/[[Swords of Justice]]{{sup/9|V}}. {{p|Walking Wake}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Leaves}}{{sup/9|V}}, {{p|Gouging Fire}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Boulder}}{{sup/9|V}}, and {{p|Raging Bolt}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Crown}}{{sup/9|V}} would be later discovered, resembling the sketch, but their connection is unclear. It is unclear how these first Paradox Pokémon arrived in Paldea. It is later revealed they were brought over by {{p|Terapagos}}.

;Occulture
Eventually, a paranormal magazine called {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} published articles on these sightings and theorized about what the Paradox Pokémon could be. At the time, the Paradox Pokémon were believed to have been fabricated by Heath, thus not being considered real. As a result, Heath and his team were widely discredited. The Paradox Pokémon faded into obscurity and research on them ended for a time.

;Project Tera
10 years before the events of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the Paradox Pokémon claimed to be from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}} were brought to Area Zero using a Time Machine built by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} through Terapagos's [[Terastal energy]]. The professor is said to have used the Time Machine to send [[Poké Ball]]s to different points in the timeline. The Poké Balls then caught the Paradox Pokémon, before bringing them into modern time. The reason the professor created the time machine was because they were fascinated with the Paradox Pokémon after reading about them from the Scarlet Book/Violet Book.

The professor conducted research on these Pokémon, with the ultimate goal of establishing a sanctuary in which they would be able to coexist with modern-day Pokémon. This goal would be called Project Tera. At some point, the professor created an AI version of themselves, to assist in research on Paradox Pokémon, using the very same [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastal energy]] that helped create the time machine. However, due to how dangerous they were to the ecosystem of Paldea, the Paradox Pokémon were kept locked away in Area Zero. At some point, security blocks and a Poké Ball Lock System were created to help both protect the time machine and Paradox Pokémon.

The player's {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} was the first of the Paradox Pokémon to be brought into the present; a second specimen was later brought into the present as well, but it proved to be far more aggressive than the original and drove it away in a territorial dispute. It is later revealed that the professor was killed by the second specimen while defending the first. Because of this, the Paradox Pokémon would continue to arrive in the present and eventually form their own population in Area Zero. Meanwhile, the professor's AI counterpart realized that the project was a mistake and that their creator's dreams were doomed to failure; however, their programming prevented them from doing anything that might stop the project directly.

;The Quaking Earth Titan
Later, shortly before the events of Scarlet and Violet, a lone {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}} managed to escape Area Zero and become a [[Titan Pokémon]] after eating the [[Herba Mystica]] while roaming the [[Asado Desert]]. During the events of the games, the {{player}} and [[Arven]] defeat it, putting an end to its rampage.

;The Way Home
During the events of The Way Home in Scarlet and Violet, the player, Arven, [[Nemona]], and [[Penny]] encountered several Paradox Pokémon while heading deeper into Area Zero. At Research Station 2, they encountered a wild {{p|Scream Tail}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Bundle}}{{sup/9|V}}, which Penny mistook for an ordinary {{p|Jigglypuff}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Delibird}}{{sup/9|V}} until it became hostile. At Research Station 3, they encountered a wild Great Tusk{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, like the one fought in the Asado Desert. Then, outside the [[Zero Lab]], the other Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} was encountered before the group was ambushed by a group of Paradox Pokémon: Great Tusk, {{p|Brute Bonnet}}, and {{p|Flutter Mane}}{{sup/9|S}}; or Iron Treads, {{p|Iron Hands}}, and {{p|Iron Jugulis}}{{sup/9|V}}. The AI professor's Paradox Protection Protocol fights the player using seven Paradox Pokémon in an attempt to defend the time machine. After a long battle, the player and their Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} successfully defeat the Paradox Protection Protocol and the other Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}. The time machine that summoned the Paradox Pokémon was then shut down when the AI professor used it one final time to travel to the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}.

Afterward, the rest of the Paradox Pokémon can be found in Area Zero during the post-game, including {{p|Roaring Moon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Valiant}}{{sup/9|V}} and the second {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}. {{p|Walking Wake}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Leaves}}{{sup/9|V}} have only appeared in special [[Poké Portal News]] event [[Tera Raid Battle]]s. Great Tusk{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, Slither Wing{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Moth{{sup/9|V}}, and Iron Bundle have also appeared in special Tera Raids.

;The Indigo Disk
Later on after helping [[Perrin]] find the {{p|Ursaluna|Bloodmoon Beast}} in [[The Teal Mask]], she appears in the [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]] and shows the player two blurry pictures, one of {{p|Gouging Fire}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Boulder}}{{sup/9|V}} and one of {{p|Raging Bolt}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Crown}}{{sup/9|V}}. After that, the two Paradox Pokémon can be encountered in Area Zero close to where the pictures were taken.

During [[Briar]]'s expedition in [[Area Zero Underdepths]], the player encoutners a [[Stellar (type)|Stellar Tera]] Sandy Shocks{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Throns{{sup/9|V}} that they needed to defeat in order to travel deeper.

The Paradox Pokémon Great Tusk, Iron Treads, Koraidon, and Miraidon appear in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] starting with the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Scarlet ex}} and {{TCG|Violet ex}} expansions) as {{TCG|Pokémon ex}} cards. Non-Pokémon ex versions of Koraidon and Miraidon were also released in the same expansion.

Starting with the {{TCG|Paradox Rift}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Ancient Roar}} and {{TCG|Future Flash}} expansions), two new categories of cards were introduced: '''{{TCG|Ancient}}''' and '''{{TCG|Future}}''', which includes all cards of Paradox Pokémon released in this set. Ancient Pokémon cards tend to have direct attacks that deal a large amount of damage, while being difficult to Knock Out. Future Pokémon cards tend to have Abilities and attacks with extra effects, allowing for craftier strategies.

==Trivia==
* The Pokédex entries for each group of Paradox Pokémon in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} share a common theme depending on the version:
** Scarlet's entries regarding ancient Pokémon and Violet's entries regarding future Pokémon cite an "expedition journal" or an "old book", referring to the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}.
** Violet's entries regarding ancient Pokémon and Scarlet's entries regarding future Pokémon cite a "paranormal" or "dubious" magazine, referring to {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}}.
* {{p|Donphan}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Cyclizar}} are the only Pokémon to have both ancient and future Paradox Pokémon counterparts.
** All three of these Pokémon have {{type|Fighting}} ancient counterparts.
* {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} are the only Paradox Pokémon with a [[signature Ability]].
* {{p|Iron Valiant}} is the only Paradox Pokémon to be based on more than one Pokémon.
* {{p|Roaring Moon}}, {{p|Iron Jugulis}}, and {{p|Iron Thorns}} are the only Paradox Pokémon to have a lower base stat total than their contemporary counterparts.
* Every unevolved contemporary relative of a Paradox Pokémon can evolve further using an [[Evolution stone]].
** Every Paradox Pokémon that is based on an unevolved Pokémon is an ancient Pokémon.
* No Paradox Pokémon based on a {{DL|Version-exclusive Pokémon|Scarlet and Violet|version-exclusive Pokémon}} is available in the same version as its present-day counterpart in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, except for the post-release Paradox Pokémon based on [[Legendary trio]]s; for example, both {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Raging Bolt}} are exclusive to Pokémon Scarlet.
** Of these, {{p|Flutter Mane}} is the only one not based on a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].
* All Paradox Pokémon are dual-[[type]].
** All Paradox Pokémon share one of their types with their apparent relatives and have another type that the relative lacks.
** There is at least one Paradox Pokémon of every type except {{t|Normal}}.
** {{t|Dragon}} is the most common types for Paradox Pokémon to have, with six Paradox Pokémon having it.
** Miraidon and {{p|Raging Bolt}} are the only Paradox Pokémon to share both of their types with each other.
* Excluding Koraidon and Miraidon, all ancient Pokémon have odd-numbered [[base stats]] while all future Pokémon have even-numbered base stats.
* All future Paradox Pokémon have "Iron" (or the equivalent in other languages) in their names.
** While this does not explicitly apply to Miraidon, its alternate name is "Iron Serpent", as mentioned in its Pokédex entry from Pokémon Violet.
** Despite them all having "Iron" in their names, only {{p|Iron Treads}} and {{p|Iron Crown}} are actually {{type|Steel}}.
* The naming convention for Paradox Pokémon differs by language:
** In Japanese, {{pmin|Spanish}}, {{pmin|Italian}} and {{pmin|German}}, along with all East Asian translations, Paradox Pokémon are named with a single word.
** In {{pmin|English}}, Paradox Pokémon are named with a two-word descriptor; all future Paradox Pokémon have "Iron" as the first word in their names.
** In {{pmin|French}}, Paradox Pokémon are named with two or three words hyphenated into a single name; all future Paradox Pokémon have the suffix "-de-Fer" in their names.
* All ancient Pokémon are taller than the Pokémon they are based on, while all future Pokémon except Miraidon are shorter.
** Furthermore, all ancient Pokémon weigh more than the Pokémon they are based on except {{p|Sandy Shocks}}, which weighs the same as {{p|Magneton}}.
* Raging Bolt and Gouging Fire are the only ancient Paradox Pokémon that do not have yellow eyes.
* The [[cry|cries]] of all Paradox Pokémon except Koraidon and Miraidon sample the cries of their contemporary relatives. Furthermore, all ancient Pokémon share a unique whistle-like sound frequency in their cries, while all future Pokémon cries share a unique electronic, mechanical noise.
* All [[move]]s learned by Paradox Pokémon via leveling up are learned at levels which are multiples of 7 (excluding level 1).
* In their battle against the player in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} uses every Paradox Pokémon introduced before the 1.2.0 update in that version of the game, with the exception of {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, which is instead fought as a [[Titan Pokémon]] earlier in the story.
* [[Generation II]] has the most Paradox Pokémon counterparts of Pokémon that debuted during it, at seven. Out of the [[generation]]s that have at least one, [[Generation IV]] has the fewest, at {{p|Gallade|one}}.
* No Pokémon introduced in [[Generation]]s {{gen|VI}}, {{gen|VII}}, or {{gen|VIII}} have Paradox Pokémon counterparts.
** However, Roaring Moon is based on [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Salamence}}, a form that was introduced in Generation VI.
* In the Scarlet and Violet Books, there is a sketch of an imaginary Pokémon based on Paradox Pokémon found in Area Zero. The drawing in the Scarlet Book resembles a fusion of the three [[Legendary beasts]], while that of the Violet Book resembles a fusion of the three [[Swords of Justice]]. These designs are seemingly meant to be of fusions between {{p|Walking Wake}}, Raging Bolt, and {{p|Gouging Fire}}; and {{p|Iron Leaves}}, {{p|Iron Crown}}, and {{p|Iron Boulder}}.
* The Paradox Pokémon based on both the Legendary beasts and Swords of Justice are the only ones not to be in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]].
* The Paradox Pokémon share similarities with the [[Ultra Beast]]s, another group of Pokémon.
** Both only consist of Pokémon that cannot evolve in their debut games.
** Both play a role in the main story of their debut games.
** Both groups consist only of [[gender unknown]] Pokémon that are [[No Eggs Discovered (Egg Group)|unable to breed]].
** Both are connected to certain Legendary Pokémon.
** Both have base stats themed around a certain type of number, with the ancient Paradox Pokémon having odd-numbered base stats and future Paradox Pokémon having even-numbered base stats, while Ultra Beasts have base stats themed around prime numbers.
*** Additionally, the levels they learn moves at are themed around certain numbers, with Paradox Pokémon learning moves at levels that are multiples of seven, while Ultra Beasts learn moves at levels that are prime numbers (in [[Generation VII]]).
** The majority of Pokémon in both groups have a base stat total of 570.
** Every non-Legendary Paradox Pokémon and every Ultra Beast has an Ability that boosts its most proficient non-{{stat|HP}} stat.
** Promotional material for both groups' debut games did not refer to them as Pokémon or reveal any of their types prior to the games' releases.
** Characters in the games are initially unsure whether the members of either group are actually Pokémon.
* The Paradox Pokémon are similar to the [[ecologically similar Pokémon]] in that they bear a striking resemblance to certain other Pokémon but are nonetheless completely different species.
* The term "Paradox Pokémon" may be a reference to ''{{wp|Animalia Paradoxa}}''.
* The Paradox Pokémon (excluding Koraidon and Miraidon) and {{p|Type: Null}} are the only Pokémon to have [[List of Spanish Pokémon names|Spanish]] and [[List of Italian Pokémon names|Italian]] names different to their English names.

Moves in this category can remove one or more immunities granted by type. For example, {{m|Odor Sleuth}} removes the {{type|Ghost}}'s immunity to {{type|Fighting}} and {{type|Normal}} attacks. They may also have additional effects, typically dealing with {{stat|evasion}}.

Some of the moves affect the target, while {{m|Gravity}} affects all Pokémon for several turns.

'''Ogerpon ''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オーガポン''' ''Ogerpon'') is a [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]], with [[The Teal Mask]].

Ogerpon is the [[game mascot]] of [[The Teal Mask]], appearing in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]].

==Biology==
[[File:Ogerpon 2.png|thumb|200px|left|Partially unmasked]]
Ogerpon is a small, green humanoid [[Pokémon]]. It has a green torso with a small blue star on its stomach, and long black legs with two toes on each foot. Between its toes are sprouts with two leaves. A green, leafy cloak covers its arms, the neck of which appears to be a large, thorny vine. Two thorns stick out prominently from the top, resembling two large horns. Underneath the mask, Ogerpon has yellow eyes.

[[File:Ogerpon Branch and Vine Arms.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Ogerpon's arms]]
It covers its face with a large mask that has a mischievous expression. The mouth is tan, sporting two protrusions from the chin that resemble pincers. One both sides of the mouth are three large green leaves that are larger than each one below. On top of the mask are 5 teal leaves fanned out to form a kind of crown, with the outer four having holes cut out towards the center. A type of crystal that resembles those found in the depths of [[Area Zero]] adorns its mask, a 4 sided star in the center of its crown, 6 more in the center of each leaf on the side of its mask, and two more used in the center as eyes.

The mask it wears is described as being fearsome<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/new_pokemon/</ref>. It resides in the land of [[Kitakami]], and is referred as the evil ogre that once attacked Kitakami until it was stopped by the Loyal Three: {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Ogerpon-Terastallized State.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Special Terastallized Form]]

Ogerpon has an unnamed, unique [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallized form]].

In its Terastallized form, Ogerpon's mask becomes bigger, completely covering all but its legs. The black part of mouth mask opens up more. The head crystal changes into having the Terastal Symbol at center along with two Ogre-like spikes on front of head. The lower three large green leaves change to bright green. Behind the mask is several bright green leaves and spit vines forming a fur like look for mask.


==Trivia==

===Origin===
Ogerpon may be based on {{wp|oni}}, creatures from Japanese folklore that often are referred to as demons or ogres in English. In particular, it may be based off the oni who live on Onigashima from the story of ''{{wp|Momotarō}}''. It may also be inspired by onikenbai, or {{wp|Devil's Sword Dance}}, a traditional festival and dance in Kitakami, Iwate.

====Name origin====
Ogerpon may be derived from ''{{wp|ogre}}'' and ''{{wp|ponkan}}'' or ''{{wp|dekopon}}'', a variety of orange, as well as {{j|～ぽん}} ''-pon'', a cutesy suffix applied to names as a form of endearment.

Pokémon doll

:''This article is about game decoration. For the [[escape item]], see [[Poké Doll]]. For the plush toy line, see [[Poké Doll (plush)]].''
[[File:Pokémon dolls anime.png|thumb|250px|Pokémon dolls in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
A '''Pokémon doll''' is a sort of [[decoration]] used in the Pokémon games.

==Generation I==
In [[Generation I]], decorations were not featured. Despite this, Pokémon dolls could be found decorating the {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s room in [[Saffron City]]. When talked to, the doll would turn to the {{player}} and this message would appear: "This is a rare <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Huh? It's only a doll!"

==Generation II==
In [[Generation II]], dolls became available as a decoration for the bedroom. In these games, sometimes the player character's mother will buy dolls for his or her room with saved up money, but the most common way to receive them is with [[Mystery Gift]].

One feature of {{g|Stadium 2}} allows players to view their entire room and its decorations, including any dolls, in 3D. The 3D models of the dolls were reused in {{g|Channel}}, being available for purchase at [[Shop 'N Squirtle]].

==Generation III==
In [[Generation III]], dolls can be used to decorate a [[Secret Base]], and can be either bought in various locations, such as at the marketplace in [[Slateport City]], at the [[Lilycove Department Store]], with coins at the [[Mauville Game Corner]] or with Battle Points at the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. [[Lanette]] will also give one in exchange for keeping her messy house a secret. A girl in [[Sootopolis City]] will also give the player one. All dolls must be placed on a [[desk]], a [[mat]], or a certain kind of [[ornament]]. Large dolls can only be placed on large desks and large mats.

Dolls are not available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, particularly because there are no Secret Bases in FireRed and LeafGreen. However, [[Lorelei]]'s house contains a number of dolls, since she collects them.

====Regi dolls====
The three [[Legendary titans]] also have dolls. Players with a Japanese copy of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} can obtain these dolls by scanning a [[Pokémon Battle e Promotional cards|promotional]] [[e-Reader]] card, {{DL|Pokémon Battle e: Series 1 & 2 Promotional cards (Battle e)|Decoration Present}}, or through participating official Nintendo events. It is possible to obtain them in the non-Japanese versions with the following method:
* Scan the appropriate Decoration set card for the Japanese Ruby/Sapphire, which gives a Regi Doll to the Decoration Trader at Mauville City's Pokémon Center.
* [[Record mixing|Exchange records]] with Japanese Emerald.
* Exchange records between Japanese Emerald and non-Japanese Emerald.
* Exchange records between the non-Japanese Emerald and non-Japanese R/S of the same language.

==Generation IV==
Dolls, like many other decorations in [[Generation IV]], are available by trading [[sphere]]s to {{tc|Hiker}}s in [[the Underground]]. They are used to decorate the player's Secret Base in the underground. They can also be purchased in the fourth floor of the [[Veilstone Department Store]].

Instead of placing them on desks or mats, dolls, like many other decorations, cannot be placed on top of any other objects.

The Lucario Doll was exclusively obtained via a Japanese event distribution for Platinum.

[[File:Pokémon dolls anime.png|thumb|250px|Pokémon dolls in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
A '''Pokémon doll''' is a sort of [[decoration]] used in the Pokémon games.

==Generation I==
In [[Generation I]], decorations were not featured. Despite this, Pokémon dolls could be found decorating the {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s room in [[Saffron City]]. When talked to, the doll would turn to the {{player}} and this message would appear: "This is a rare <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Huh? It's only a doll!"

==Generation II==
In [[Generation II]], dolls became available as a decoration for the bedroom. In these games, sometimes the player character's mother will buy dolls for his or her room with saved up money, but the most common way to receive them is with [[Mystery Gift]].

One feature of {{g|Stadium 2}} allows players to view their entire room and its decorations, including any dolls, in 3D. The 3D models of the dolls were reused in {{g|Channel}}, being available for purchase at [[Shop 'N Squirtle]].

==Generation III==
In [[Generation III]], dolls can be used to decorate a [[Secret Base]], and can be either bought in various locations, such as at the marketplace in [[Slateport City]], at the [[Lilycove Department Store]], with coins at the [[Mauville Game Corner]] or with Battle Points at the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. [[Lanette]] will also give one in exchange for keeping her messy house a secret. A girl in [[Sootopolis City]] will also give the player one. All dolls must be placed on a [[desk]], a [[mat]], or a certain kind of [[ornament]]. Large dolls can only be placed on large desks and large mats.

Dolls are not available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, particularly because there are no Secret Bases in FireRed and LeafGreen. However, [[Lorelei]]'s house contains a number of dolls, since she collects them.

====Regi dolls====
The three [[Legendary titans]] also have dolls. Players with a Japanese copy of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} can obtain these dolls by scanning a [[Pokémon Battle e Promotional cards|promotional]] [[e-Reader]] card, {{DL|Pokémon Battle e: Series 1 & 2 Promotional cards (Battle e)|Decoration Present}}, or through participating official Nintendo events. It is possible to obtain them in the non-Japanese versions with the following method:
* Scan the appropriate Decoration set card for the Japanese Ruby/Sapphire, which gives a Regi Doll to the Decoration Trader at Mauville City's Pokémon Center.
* [[Record mixing|Exchange records]] with Japanese Emerald.
* Exchange records between Japanese Emerald and non-Japanese Emerald.
* Exchange records between the non-Japanese Emerald and non-Japanese R/S of the same language.

==Generation IV==
Dolls, like many other decorations in [[Generation IV]], are available by trading [[sphere]]s to {{tc|Hiker}}s in [[the Underground]]. They are used to decorate the player's Secret Base in the underground. They can also be purchased in the fourth floor of the [[Veilstone Department Store]].

Instead of placing them on desks or mats, dolls, like many other decorations, cannot be placed on top of any other objects.

The Lucario Doll was exclusively obtained via a Japanese event distribution for Platinum.

'''Banette''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジュペッタ''' ''Juppeta'') is a {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Shuppet}} starting at [[level]] 37.

Banette can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Banette''' using the [[Banettite]].

==Biology==
[[File:Banette reborn from a doll in JN144.png|thumb|320px|left|A doll turning into a Banette]]
Banette is a dark gray, doll-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is possessed by pure hatred. It has three short spikes on its head and a long zigzagging ribbon trailing off the back of its head. A zipper acts as its mouth, and it has purplish-pink eyes with slit pupils. Its long, flat arms have three-fingered hands, while its legs are short and stubby. It has a yellow, brush-like tail.

Being driven to life by a powerful grudge, it keeps its life force safely in its body by the means of its zipped up mouth. If unzipped, it would lose its energy. It lays curses on others by using its body as a voodoo doll and sticking pins into itself. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|garbage dumps and dark alleys}}, where it searches for the person that threw it away before it became a Pokémon. It is said that treating it with enough care will satisfy its grudge and will turn it back into a stuffed toy.

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

As Mega Banette, this Pokémon gains several additional zippers: one running diagonally across its face, one on each hand, and another on its body. The first zipper runs from its left eye to the tip of its central spike. The other three are all unzipped, revealing parts of Mega Banette's cursed purple body. Its three long purple fingers and body revealing two pointed, purple legs are visible. Its zigzagging ribbon becomes somewhat erect, and now has two zipper rings around it and a short zipper on the tip. It gains four further spikes: one on the top and bottom of each hand and one on each hip. However, it loses its brush-like tail.

When it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]], it is filled with so much power and vindictiveness it cannot help cursing its Trainer.

==Trivia==
* Mega Banette has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Mega Banette is the lightest [[Mega Evolution]] at 13.0 kg (28.7 lbs.)
* Banette can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Dusclops}}. Both are [[Generation III]] Ghost-type Pokémon that evolve from their pre-evolved forms at level 37. Both also have the same base stat total. Wild Banette are exclusive to {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Sapphire}}, while wild Dusclops are exclusive to Pokémon Ruby.
** However, with the introduction of {{p|Dusknoir}} in [[Generation IV]] and Mega Banette in [[Generation VI]], the similarities between the two evolutionary lines have become less notable, as Dusknoir has not received a Mega Evolution and Banette cannot evolve further.
* Despite Banette's zipper needing to stay closed in order to conserve energy, Banette's [[Pokémon-Amie]] animation shows it unzipping and opening its mouth in order to smile or eat.
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|V}} and {{gen|VI}}, Banette can learn {{m|Gunk Shot}} via breeding, but not via [[Move Tutor]].

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Shuppet and Banette}}
Banette seems to be based on the idea of a {{wp|haunted doll}}, while its [[Pokédex]] backstory of an ordinary doll coming to life is similar to the {{wp|tsukumogami}}, an idea rooted in {{wp|Shinto}}'s {{wp|animism}}. Its appearance and habit of sticking itself with pins is also a reference to the popular concept of a {{wp|voodoo doll}}.

====Name origin====
Banette may be a combination of ''bane'' and ''{{wp|marionette}}''.

Juppeta may be a combination of 呪 ''ju'' (curse, spell) and ''puppet''. It may also refer to ''{{wp|Geppetto}}'', a woodcarver who built a puppet that came to life in {{wp|The Adventures of Pinocchio|the story}} of {{wp|Pinocchio}}.

Pokémon Master

Magicknight94: /* Intro */

{{samename|mobile game|Pokémon Masters EX}}
[[File:Pokémon League.png|thumb|220px|A [[Pokémon League]] poster aimed at aspiring Pokémon Masters]]
'''Pokémon Master''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンマスター''' ''Pokémon Master'') is a title in the [[Pokémon world]]. It is the goal of many [[Pokémon Trainer]]s to become a Pokémon Master. However, exactly what this position is and how one attains it is vague and never fully explained.

In response to an email sent to its mailbag, [[Pokémon.com]] posted the following:

<blockquote>"I'm very sorry, but the Pokémon Company does not answer questions of this nature.
It is the intent of the Pokémon creators that such questions be left to the imaginations and interpretations of Pokémon fans, adding more excitement and mystery to the Pokémon universe."</blockquote>

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{Ash}} left [[Pallet Town]] and started his {{pkmn|journey}} with the goal of becoming a Pokémon Master. In his endeavors to achieve this goal, he has traveled across many [[region]]s and competed in their respective [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, though he has mentioned that being a {{pkmn|Champion|Pokémon League Champion}} is just one step towards becoming a Pokémon Master. In [[JN147]], Ash specifies that to him, a Pokémon Master is someone who has befriended every Pokémon in the world.

==Usage==
* In {{5v2|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, after defeating [[Lance]] he says "''I hate to admit it, but you are a POKéMON master!''".
* In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, after defeating all the {{p|Electrode}} in the [[Team Rocket HQ]], Lance says "''The journey to becoming the Pokémon Master is long and difficult. Knowing that, will you keep going?''"
** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, he instead says "''The journey to becoming the Pokémon Champion is long and difficult. Knowing that, will you keep going?''"
* [[Extreme Pokémon: The Guide for the Ultimate Fan]] calls [[Lorelei|Prima]] a Pokémon Master.
** She's also given this title in the English [[dub]] of ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'' and ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?]]''. In the Japanese versions of these episodes and both versions of ''[[EP140|Wired for Battle!]]'', she's referred to by her proper title as an [[Elite Four]] member.
* [[The Official Pokémon Handbook]] states that a Trainer would deserve the title of Pokémon Master upon defeating or catching {{p|Mewtwo}}. The handbook also refers to the Elite Four members as "Master Trainers".
* According to [[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]], one of the tasks to become a Pokémon Master is to [[Gotta catch 'em all!|catch all Pokémon]].
* The book ''[[Charizard, Go!]]'' states that a Pokémon Master must catch one of every kind of Pokémon and become a member of the [[Pokémon League]].
* According to [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, a Pokémon Master is simply an elite Trainer who is considered a professional and regularly takes part in Pokémon League competitions.
* In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Nurse Joy (while brainwashed) invites the Trainers to have a battle against the world's greatest Pokémon Master on [[New Island]], who is later revealed to be {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}.
* In ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', {{jo|Marina}} called {{an|Lance}} a great Pokémon Master.
* In his [[DP075|debut episode]], [[Wallace]] is called a Champion Master. Likewise in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', {{an|Cynthia}} is referred to as a Champion Master. Both of them are the last person to be battled at the {{DL|Pokémon League|Champion League}}. Champion Masters must defend their title against all opposing Trainers. In a sense, they are undefeated by any Trainer that has officially challenged them to claim their title. Ash states that becoming a Champion Master is one step toward becoming a Pokémon Master.
* In ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', Ash says defeating {{an|Leon}} and winning the [[World Coronation Series]] will bring him one step closer to becoming a Pokémon Master.
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], a group of 153 trainers who are referred to as Master Trainers are scattered across the region (145 of which can be battled), each specializing in a different Pokémon (the original 151 plus {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}).
* In the lead up to the third anniversary of [[Pokémon Masters EX]], the official Twitter account for the game posed the question of what being a Pokémon Master meant, while also saying that trainers who go to [[Pasio]] to compete in the [[Pokémon Masters League]] could be considered as Pokémon Masters.<ref>https://twitter.com/PokemonMasters/status/1559616134600568832</ref>
*In [[JN147]], Ash defines his view of a Pokémon Master as someone who's befriended every Pokémon in the world.

==Theories==
{{fan speculation|section}}
* It has been theorized that when one becomes a [[Pokémon Champion]] of a regional [[Pokémon League]], one attains the title of Pokémon Master.
** This theory is supported by Lance calling the player a Pokémon Master upon his defeat in {{5v2|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, before revealing that the player must first face {{ga|Blue}} becoming Champion.
** It is implied in the dub of ''[[DP191|Memories Are Made Of Bliss!]]'' that this is the case. However, the Japanese version explicitly states that it is only one step to being a Pokémon Master.
** However, Ash became the Champion of the [[Alola League]] and still does not consider himself a Pokémon Master.
* In a 2008 interview with the webmaster of [[PokéBeach]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] stated that when Ash becomes a Pokémon Master, it would be the last episode of the show.<ref>[https://www.pokebeach.com/2008/07/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points PokéBeach]: Second Interview with Masamitsu Hidaka – Many Interesting Points!</ref>
* It has been theorized that, in the context of the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pokémon Masters are the members of the [[Elite Four]].
** This theory is supported by the book [[Extreme Pokémon: The Guide for the Ultimate Fan]] calling [[Lorelei|Prima]] a Pokémon Master.
* After defeating [[Giovanni]] at [[Viridian Gym]], when he gives the player the {{Badge|Earth}} he says it is "evidence of your mastery as a Pokémon Trainer" which may imply that a Pokémon Master is one who has collected all of the [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s in a [[region]].
** Yet, in the context of the anime, this is not the case as Ash has collected all the Gym Badges in multiple regions and still does not consider himself a Pokémon Master.
* It has been theorized that one who is unbeatable in battle is considered a Pokémon Master.
** This was implied in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} referred to himself as a Pokémon Master, with him being the strongest being emphasized throughout the movie.
* [[The Official Pokémon Collector's Sticker Book]] implies that one is made a Pokémon Master by [[Gotta catch 'em all!|catching all Pokémon]].
** It has also been theorized that this, along with becoming a Pokémon Champion, is the criteria.
* In ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', [[Verity]] questions if being a Pokémon Master meant being the world's strongest Pokémon Trainer; {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} replies that it is "much more than that".
** [[Goh]] asks Ash a similar question in ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'' and Ash gives a similar response.
* In a 2020 interview with the general director of [[Pokémon Journeys]], Daiki Tomiyasu reveals that he has asked the show's supervisor, [[Kunihiko Yuyama]], what Ash's "I wanna be a Pokémon Master!" dream means. He responded "It's just the silly dream of a child. It's something for him to idolize."<ref>[https://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/features/translations/animedia_june2020_daiki_tomiyasu.html]: Animedia June 2020 Daiki Tomiyasu Interview</ref>
* In an ORICON NEWS interview following Ash becoming the Monarch of the [[World Coronation Series]] in ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Ash's voice actress, [[Rica Matsumoto]], said "[Ash] may have become the strongest trainer, but it is said that the dream of becoming Pokémon Master is different." <ref>[https://twitter.com/arvenhlka/status/1591399326127120386?s=46&t=VKfYOR25ntNEQ1Qaq4pq-A]] A translated tweet from I L A ꕤ</ref>

'''Banette''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジュペッタ''' ''Juppeta'') is a {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Shuppet}} starting at [[level]] 37.

Banette can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Banette''' using the [[Banettite]].

==Biology==
[[File:Banette reborn from a doll in JN144.png|thumb|left|Banette creation from a doll in anime]]
Banette is a dark gray, doll-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is possessed by pure hatred. It has three short spikes on its head and a long zigzagging ribbon trailing off the back of its head. A zipper acts as its mouth, and it has purplish-pink eyes with slit pupils. Its long, flat arms have three-fingered hands, while its legs are short and stubby. It has a yellow, brush-like tail.

As Mega Banette, this Pokémon gains several additional zippers: one running diagonally across its face, one on each hand, and another on its body. The first zipper runs from its left eye to the tip of its central spike. The other three are all unzipped, revealing parts of Mega Banette's cursed purple body. Its three long purple fingers and body revealing two pointed, purple legs are visible. Its zigzagging ribbon becomes somewhat erect, and now has two zipper rings around it and a short zipper on the tip. It gains four further spikes: one on the top and bottom of each hand and one on each hip. However, it loses its brush-like tail.

Being driven to life by a powerful grudge, it keeps its life force safely in its body by the means of its zipped up mouth. If unzipped, it would lose its energy. It lays curses on others by using its body as a voodoo doll and sticking pins into itself. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|garbage dumps and dark alleys,}} where it searches for the person that threw it away before it became a Pokémon. It is said that treating it with enough care will satisfy its grudge and will turn it back into a stuffed toy. When it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]], it is filled with so much power and vindictiveness it cannot help cursing its Trainer. As shown in [[JN144]], Banette is formed from [[Pokémon doll]]s and can store objects inside its mouth.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* Mega Banette has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Mega Banette is the lightest [[Mega Evolution]] at 13.0 kg (28.7 lbs.)
* Banette can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Dusclops}}. Both are [[Generation III]] Ghost-type Pokémon that evolve from their pre-evolved forms at level 37. Both also have the same base stat total. Wild Banette are exclusive to {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Sapphire}}, while wild Dusclops are exclusive to Pokémon Ruby.
** However, with the introduction of {{p|Dusknoir}} in [[Generation IV]] and Mega Banette in [[Generation VI]], the similarities between the two evolutionary lines have become less notable, as Dusknoir has not received a Mega Evolution and Banette cannot evolve further.
* Despite Banette's zipper needing to stay closed in order to conserve energy, Banette's [[Pokémon-Amie]] animation shows it unzipping and opening its mouth in order to smile or eat.
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|V}} and {{gen|VI}}, Banette can learn {{m|Gunk Shot}} via breeding, but not via [[Move Tutor]].

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Shuppet and Banette}}
Banette seems to be based on the idea of a {{wp|haunted doll}}, while its [[Pokédex]] backstory of an ordinary doll coming to life is similar to the {{wp|tsukumogami}}, an idea rooted in {{wp|Shinto}}'s {{wp|animism}}. Its appearance and habit of sticking itself with pins is also a reference to the popular concept of a {{wp|voodoo doll}}.

====Name origin====
Banette may be a combination of ''bane'' and ''{{wp|marionette}}''.

Juppeta may be a combination of 呪 ''ju'' (curse, spell) and ''puppet''. It may also refer to ''{{wp|Geppetto}}'', a woodcarver who built a puppet that came to life in {{wp|The Adventures of Pinocchio|the story}} of {{wp|Pinocchio}}.

Ride Pokémon (Hisui)

2023-02-08T10:06:21Z

Magicknight94: /* Ursaluna */

{{incomplete|article|Lacking the name in other languages, }}
[[File:LA Ride Basculegion.png|thumb|300px|Riding a Basculegion]]
In [[Hisui]], '''Ride Pokémon''' are a select group of Pokémon that are dedicated to assisting humans that they have deemed worthy. Ride Pokémon are descendants of five of the ten companions of the ancient hero of legend, who have received their blessing from {{ga|Arceus}}.

==History==
There are five Ride Pokémon who, along with the five [[noble Pokémon]], are watched over and cared for by [[Warden]]s of the [[Diamond Clan|Diamond]] and [[Pearl Clan]]s. Ride Pokémon are often [[giant Pokémon|noticeably larger than average Pokémon]] of the same species, and cannot be {{pkmn2|caught}}.

After opening their heart by playing the [[Celestica Flute]], a Ride Pokémon will give the [[player character]] a [[plate]] of its corresponding [[type]]. Once unlocked, the Ride Pokémon can be summoned at any time by replaying the Celestica or [[Azure Flute]]s.

==Gameplay==
After being unlocked, the [[player character|player]] can summon a Ride Pokémon at any time by pressing the + button. If multiple Ride Pokémon are accessible, the player can toggle between them at any time pressing the left and right buttons on the directional buttons or D-Pad. When harmed by a wild Pokémon's poison, paralysis, or drowsiness, the Ride Pokémon will disappear and cannot be resummoned until the player recovers from the status condition, Basculegion and Braviary excluded. Like the Ride Pokémon from the [[Alola]] region, many Ride Pokémon are seen as alternatives for specific [[Key Item]]s and [[HM]]s.

===Wyrdeer===
Wyrdeer can be seen as a replacement for the game's [[bike]] function from other games, allowing the player to travel faster than on foot. By holding the B button, Wyrdeer will be able to sprint faster than his standard run speed, this may cause the camera to automatically adjust to a better angle, however, the camera can still be moved manually during this action. Pressing the Y button allows Wyrdeer to jump over obstacles. During these jumps, if unlocked, pressing the A button will allow the player to switch to the Braviary mount. Wyrdeer can be summoned automatically by riding onto land with Basculegion or Braviary if the player previously used Wyrdeer, he is also the default Ride Pokémon if no previous Ride Pokémon was chosen before Basculegion or Braviary.

===Ursaluna===
Ursaluna can be seen as a replacement for the game's [[Dowsing Machine]] from other games, allowing players to locate hidden items from underneath the ground by having Ursaluna sniff out where they are. The player rides on Ursaluna's back at a slightly faster pace than their standard run speed. A radar appears in front of Ursaluna's face, this radar starts off as a small green semi-circle. Once Ursaluna picks up the scent of an item, the radar will grow larger, turn yellow, and Ursaluna will start running at a faster speed. When close to a hidden item, the radar will turn red, until a red ! appears over a digging spot for an item, allowing the player to press Y and dig up the item. When over a spot without any sort of buried item underneath, Ursaluna will shake telling the player that he is unable to dig if the player attempts to dig. Ursaluna can be summoned automatically by riding onto land with Basculegion or Braviary if the player previously used Ursaluna.

===Basculegion===
Basculegion is seen as an alternative to the {{m|Surf}} HM, allowing the player to traverse through water. He can be summoned by either pressing + or A while in the water. Diving into the water with another Ride Pokémon will also automatically swap to Basculegion. While riding Basculegion, the player can do many things that they normally can do while on land, including catching and battling wild Pokémon using the ZR button and lock onto them by holding the ZL button. Like Wyrdeer, holding the B button will allow Basculegion to dash at a faster speed, this may cause the camera to automatically adjust to a better angle, however, the camera can still be moved manually during this action. By pressing the Y button, Basculegion is able to jump, Basculegion can then jump again by pressing Y a second time. While midair, holding the ZR button will cause the screen to blur and the game to slow down, allowing for more accurate throws against wild Pokémon and objects. Like Wyrdeer, being midair in either of these jumps can allow the player to swap over to Braviary by pressing the A button.

===Sneasler===
Sneasler allows the player to climb over most terrain and obstacles. The tall and lanky Pokémon moves slightly faster than what the player can normally walk, however, she cannot run and the player is unable to throw objects. Getting close to a wall and pressing A will allow Sneasler to grab onto the wall, while getting close to an edge or cliff and pressing Y will allow Sneasler to descend. Sneasler is only able to latch onto certain terrains, such as rocky cliffs and trees, she cannot climb up icy surfaces. Sneasler can be summoned automatically by riding onto land with Basculegion or Braviary if the player previously used Sneasler.

===Braviary===
Braviary acts similarly to a hang glider. Once summoned, Braviary will take off with the player high in the air in the spot they are currently in. Braviary can be used to travel long distances across the map, however, he slowly descends, regardless if he is moving or standing in place in the air. Like Wyrdeer and Basculegion, holding the B button in the air will allow Braviary to dash, moving faster, but descends at a quicker pace. Holding the Y button allows for Braviary to dive instead. This dive goes at the same speed as his dash, but is pointed towards the ground for easier landing. Unlike Wyrdeer and Basculegion's dashes, the player is locked into a single camera angle while dashing. Braviary can also be summoned any time in the air by pressing the A button, either by walking off a cliff, or jumps caused by Wyrdeer and Basculegion.

==Trivia==
* Statues of the Ride Pokémon, along with the [[noble Pokémon]], were built at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]] by the original Hisuian inhabitants. These are destroyed at the climax of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
* The concept of Ride Pokémon is noted by [[Professor Laventon]] to be similar to the [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] of [[Alola]].
* Sneasler is the only female Ride Pokémon.
* Hisuian {{p|Braviary}} is the only Ride Pokémon to be a [[regional form]]. The rest are new evolutions of preexisting Pokémon.
** Interestingly, the Ride Pokémon of Hisui consist of four evolutions of preexisting Pokémon and one Pokémon with a regional form, while the noble Pokémon consist of four Pokémon with regional forms and one evolution of a preexisting Pokémon.

'''Oblivious''' (Japanese: '''どんかん''' ''Thickheaded'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generation III====
Oblivious prevents the Pokémon from being afflicted by [[infatuation]].

A Pokémon with this Ability will be cured of infatuation if it is infatuated while in battle (such as if it gains the Ability by an effect like {{m|Skill Swap}}).

====Generation IV====
Pokémon with Oblivious also cannot be affected by {{m|Captivate}}.

If the Pokémon with this Ability is infatuated and is holding a [[Mental Herb]], Oblivious will cure the Pokémon of infatuation before the Mental Herb has a chance to be consumed. If the Pokémon with this Ability is holding a [[Destiny Knot]], the Destiny Knot will be activated before Oblivious cures the Pokémon of infatuation.

====Generation V====
If the Pokémon with this Ability is infatuated and is holding a [[Mental Herb]], the Mental Herb will be consumed before Oblivious cures the Pokémon of infatuation.

====Generation VI to VII====
In addition to preventing infatuation, Oblivious now prevents the Pokémon from being afflicted by {{m|Taunt}}.

A Pokémon with this Ability will be cured of Taunt if it is taunted while in battle (such as if it gains the Ability by an effect like {{m|Skill Swap}}, or is taunted by a Pokémon with an Ability like {{a|Mold Breaker}}). If the Pokémon is holding a [[Mental Herb]], it will be consumed before Oblivious cures the Pokémon of the Taunt.

====Generation VIII onward====
Oblivious now also blocks {{a|Intimidate}}.

===Outside of battle===
Oblivious has no effect outside of battle.

The status condition icon is still displayed in the party menu; if the Pokémon is switched out, the status condition icon will appear again when it is switched back in.

Aura

2022-12-26T04:09:24Z

Magicknight94: /* In the anime */

{{cleanup}}
[[File:Ash Aura.png|thumb|right|250px|{{Ash}} using Aura]]
'''Aura''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|波導|はどう}}''' ''wave-guiding'') is a form of spiritual energy introduced in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. It is described as the essence of every living creature.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lucario movie aura.png|thumb|left|250px|{{OBP|Lucario|M08}} using Aura]]
[[File:Riley aura.png|thumb|210px|Riley using Aura to contain an explosion]]
In the [[Pokémon world]]'s past, there were once [[human]]s that could sense Aura and control its power. These humans, known as Aura Guardians, traveled around doing good deeds and passing on their skills to those who also possessed this innate ability. One famous Aura Guardian was [[Sir Aaron]], who took a {{OBP|Lucario|M08}} as his apprentice and became a hero when he sacrificed himself to stop a war from destroying the area around the [[Tree of Beginning]].

In ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} heard the story of how a {{p|Spiritomb}} was sealed away by an Aura Guardian who traveled with a {{p|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} meet an unnaturally strong {{p|Riolu}} [[Aura Sphere Riolu|capable of using]] the move {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Ash demonstrates the ability to sense Riolu's Aura several times over the remainder of the episode and [[DP072|the next]].

In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh]]'', the [[Pokédex]] entry of {{p|Medicham}} revealed that it has the capability to read Aura.

The Aura Guardians disappeared from history, for some undisclosed reason, a long time before the present era. The only humans in the present time known to have the ability to control Aura are [[Riley]] and Ash, though Ash has chosen to continue his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] rather than follow up on the revelation. However, he did follow in the footsteps of both known Aura Guardians by helping Lucario to save the Tree of Beginning and resealing Spiritomb.
[[File:Ash Lucario Aura vision.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash's Lucario using its Aura vision]]
In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', it was revealed that Riolu are capable of sensing Aura even before they hatch and are able to react to it. This ability is demonstrated in [[Ash's Riolu]], who, after hatching, ran away from Ash and Goh's room in search of the Aura that it had sensed prior to hatching. When Ash and Pikachu found Riolu battling an {{p|Onix}}, they prepared to help Riolu fight it off. In the process, Ash started emitting the same Aura waves Riolu sensed earlier, driving it to help Pikachu and Ash fight the Onix.
[[File:Ash Greninja aura.png|250px|thumb|Ash's Greninja using its Aura]]
In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', Ash's newly evolved {{AP|Lucario}} contacted its Trainer using its Aura and requested to use {{m|Aura Sphere}} instead of {{m|Vacuum Wave}} while battling [[Rose]].

In ''[[JN084|An Adventure of Mega Proportions!]]'', Ash's Lucario had its Aura power enhanced when Ash received a [[Key Stone]], which {{an|Korrina}} attributed to their already strong bond. Using its new power, Lucario was able to sense a [[Lucarionite]] on [[Mega Island]]. When Ash and Lucario were separated after arriving on the island, Lucario used Aura to locate the Lucarionite and telepathically guided Ash to its exact location. Also during the separation, Ash's Aura powers enhanced through the Key Stone, which helped him sense his Lucario from great distances.

In ''[[JN108|Catching the Aura of Fate!]]'', Ash claimed that Lucario's Aura felt similar to [[Bond Phenomenon|his bond]] with his {{AP|Greninja}}. Greninja later demonstrated this Aura ability and helped Lucario polish its own Aura. After training with Greninja, Lucario and Ash were able to sync up more than before, allowing Lucario to create a giant Aura Sphere. In ''[[JN109|Aim For The Eight!]]'' and [[JN125]], Lucario used this newfound synchronicity to draw power from the Aura of its allies and make its Aura Sphere grow even bigger than before.

In [[JNS05]], [[Ash Ketchum (M20)|Ash]] was able to see and speak to [[Haruto]] because of his Aura despite Haruto dying to illness last year. Ash later used his Aura to allow Haruto to touch Pikachu, fulfilling his wish to touch a Pokemon and allowing him to pass on.

===Capabilities of Aura===
* Ability to read minds and actions of another being.
* Ability to "sense" other Auras and view surroundings even with a blindfold, also allows users to view through some objects.
* Projection of one's Aura; such as to create barriers or {{m|Aura Sphere|attacks}}. It can also be used to transfer Aura to others, a method that can be fatal to the user.
* Activation of [[time flower]]s
* Telepathy
* To see and speak to the spirits of the dead
* To allow the spirits of the dead the ability to touch the physical world.
* When in sync with the Trainer and by invoking the bonds with its friends, a Pokémon can use its Aura to supercharge an {{m|Aura Sphere}} to a gigantic size.
[[File:Aura with Key Stone.png|thumb|250px|Ash feeling Lucario's Aura through his Key Stone]]
When used in conjunction with a [[Key Stone]], Aura allows a Trainer and their Pokémon to:
* Locate the matching [[Mega Stone]] even from miles away.
* Create a telepathic vision, in which they can feel each other and anyone inside the other's Aura from far away.

==In the games==
[[File:Aura Sphere VIII.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Lucario}} using Aura Sphere]]
===Core series===
[[File:Spr Pt Riley.png|left|frame|Riley's sprite in Platinum]]
The [[move]] {{m|Aura Sphere}} explicitly uses "aura power" (Japanese: '''{{tt|波導|はどう}}の　{{tt|力|ちから}}''' ''wave-guiding power'') and is in a group of {{cat|aura and pulse moves}} that can be boosted by the [[Ability]] {{a|Mega Launcher}}.

The [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Cutiefly}} state that they have the ability to sense auras. Only the entries for Lucario and {{p|Sylveon}} confirm that the Pokémon make use of aura. During [[Mega Evolution]], Lucario's aura expands and races through its body, with the black streaks on Mega Lucario's body showing where its aura has intermingled with the energy of Mega Evolution.

[[Riley]]'s animations in the [[Sinnoh]] games suggest that he can use Aura as well. In {{v2|Platinum}}, his hand lights up with a blue glow in his opponent animation. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, his hair and hat will shake in his idle animation, similar to Lucario's aura-sensing appendages. The {{p|Riolu}} Egg he gives the player is the only available Riolu in the game, and Riley also trains a Lucario.

In {{g|X and Y}}, [[Korrina]] claims that something in the {{player}}'s aura (Japanese: '''{{tt|波動|はどう}}''' ''wave'') is the reason why one of her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} feels a bond with them, which drives her to give that Lucario to the player.

According to Lucario's Pokédex entry in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, aura was named by [[Professor Laventon]] but this can be contradicted if the player meets [[Rye]] before getting Lucario's Pokédex entry.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
The personality quiz at the beginning of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]] mentions Aura. After answering the quiz, the player's Aura is read and described as being a particular color, which is determined by the [[Nintendo DS]]'s UI color or MAC address.

===Pokémon Colosseum series===
In both {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, a "black aura" surrounds [[Shadow Pokémon]] and can only be seen by a character named [[Rui]], or with a device called an [[Aura Reader]]. These Pokémon are described as "corrupted", and must be [[purification|purified]].

===Super Smash Bros. series===
In the Super Smash Bros. series, almost all of {{SSB|Lucario}}'s moves use {{sbw|Aura}}. Due to Aura, the more damage Lucario has, the more powerful its attacks are. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], when Lucario gets a Smash Ball, it can execute its [[Final Smash]], {{DL|Final Smash|Aura Storm}}. During the attack, Lucario focuses its Aura into a powerful beam that the player controls. During the Subspace Emissary, Lucario used its Aura to see Snake hiding in his box.

In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], [[Mega Evolution]], Lucario's new Final Smash, maximizes the Aura, which normally requires it to take at least 190% damage.

In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], Lucario combines its previous Final Smashes into one by Mega Evolving into Mega Lucario before using Aura Storm.
 

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Aura Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Riley and his Lucario using Aura]]
Aura in [[Pokémon Adventures]] is explained as a wave that can be picked up by people just like sound. Certain Pokémon and humans can pick up this sound, allowing them to see and sense the Auras of others. However, due to the fact that Aura is the same as sound, it can be interrupted by anything that cuts the airspace.

Known users of Aura include Riley and his Pokémon, {{TP|Riley|Lucario}} and {{p|Riolu}}. Riley and {{p|Lucario}} had their Aura abilities blocked by two {{tc|Roughneck}}s that were attacking [[Iron Island]] when the Roughnecks commanded their {{p|Mothim}} to use {{m|Air Slash}}, cutting up the airspace around it. This prevented Riley and his Pokémon from tracking their Aura, along with blinding their eyes with {{p|Vespiquen}} honey. Once {{adv|Diamond}} defeated the Mothim, thus causing the Aura to be visible again, Riley and Lucario unleashed their wrath upon them.

[[Korrina's Lucario]] is also able to use Aura, preventing [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}} from mind controlling those around it.

====Capabilities of Aura====
* Ability to read minds and actions of another being
* Ability to "sense" other Auras even while blinded
* Ability to track an Aura belonging to a specific person as long as they have a piece of the Aura to track
* Ability to prevent mind control of itself and those around it

===Phantom Thief Pokémon 7===
[[File:Aura P7.png|thumb|200px|Lily using Aura]]
Aura is first revealed in ''[[P7-05|Escape From Team Galactic]]'' as a form of energy that all humans and Pokémon emit. While Pokémon like [[Hiori's Lucario]] can naturally sense Aura, there are certain cases when a human can sense it. One known human who can sense Aura is Hiori's sister, {{OBP|Lily|Pokémon 7}}, who was kidnapped by [[Team Galactic]] at a young age in order to use her power for their own selfish goals.

A special cloak made by Team Galactic was shown to be able to hide the Aura of the user, preventing them from being tracked.

In paranormal theory, an {{wp|Aura (paranormal)|aura}} is a field of light said to surround living beings, the color of which is determined by the particular person's disposition. It is often used in artwork to cause objects or people of high importance to stand out. Aura could also be based on the Chinese concept of ''{{wp|qi}}'', which often refers to the life-force existing in all living things.

[[File:Ash Aura.png|thumb|right|250px|{{Ash}} using Aura]]
'''Aura''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|波導|はどう}}''' ''wave-guiding'') is a form of spiritual energy introduced in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. It is described as the essence of every living creature.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lucario movie aura.png|thumb|left|250px|{{OBP|Lucario|M08}} using Aura]]
[[File:Riley aura.png|thumb|210px|Riley using Aura to contain an explosion]]
In the [[Pokémon world]]'s past, there were once [[human]]s that could sense Aura and control its power. These humans, known as Aura Guardians, traveled around doing good deeds and passing on their skills to those who also possessed this innate ability. One famous Aura Guardian was [[Sir Aaron]], who took a {{OBP|Lucario|M08}} as his apprentice and became a hero when he sacrificed himself to stop a war from destroying the area around the [[Tree of Beginning]].

In ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} heard the story of how a {{p|Spiritomb}} was sealed away by an Aura Guardian who traveled with a {{p|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} meet an unnaturally strong {{p|Riolu}} [[Aura Sphere Riolu|capable of using]] the move {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Ash demonstrates the ability to sense Riolu's Aura several times over the remainder of the episode and [[DP072|the next]].

In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh]]'', the [[Pokédex]] entry of {{p|Medicham}} revealed that it has the capability to read Aura.

The Aura Guardians disappeared from history, for some undisclosed reason, a long time before the present era. The only humans in the present time known to have the ability to control Aura are [[Riley]] and Ash, though Ash has chosen to continue his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] rather than follow up on the revelation. However, he did follow in the footsteps of both known Aura Guardians by helping Lucario to save the Tree of Beginning and resealing Spiritomb.

When used in conjunction with a [[Key Stone]], Aura allows a Trainer and their Pokémon to:
* Locate the matching [[Mega Stone]] even from miles away.
* Create a telepathic vision, in which they can feel each other and anyone inside the other's Aura from far away.

[[File:Aura Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Riley and his Lucario using Aura]]
Aura in [[Pokémon Adventures]] is explained as a wave that can be picked up by people just like sound. Certain Pokémon and humans can pick up this sound, allowing them to see and sense the Auras of others. However, due to the fact that Aura is the same as sound, it can be interrupted by anything that cuts the airspace.

Known users of Aura include Riley and his Pokémon, {{TP|Riley|Lucario}} and {{p|Riolu}}. Riley and {{p|Lucario}} had their Aura abilities blocked by two {{tc|Roughneck}}s that were attacking [[Iron Island]] when the Roughnecks commanded their {{p|Mothim}} to use {{m|Air Slash}}, cutting up the airspace around it. This prevented Riley and his Pokémon from tracking their Aura, along with blinding their eyes with {{p|Vespiquen}} honey. Once {{adv|Diamond}} defeated the Mothim, thus causing the Aura to be visible again, Riley and Lucario unleashed their wrath upon them.

[[Korrina's Lucario]] is also able to use Aura, preventing [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}} from mind controlling those around it.

====Capabilities of Aura====
* Ability to read minds and actions of another being
* Ability to "sense" other Auras even while blinded
* Ability to track an Aura belonging to a specific person as long as they have a piece of the Aura to track
* Ability to prevent mind control of itself and those around it

===In the Phantom Thief Pokémon 7 manga===
[[File:Aura P7.png|thumb|200px|Lily using Aura]]
Aura is first revealed in ''[[P7-05|Escape From Team Galactic]]'' as a form of energy that all humans and Pokémon emit. While Pokémon like [[Hiori's Lucario]] can naturally sense Aura, there are certain cases when a human can sense it. One known human who can sense Aura is Hiori's sister, {{OBP|Lily|Pokémon 7}}, who was kidnapped by [[Team Galactic]] at a young age in order to use her power for their own selfish goals.

A special cloak made by Team Galactic was shown to be able to hide the Aura of the user, preventing them from being tracked.

[[File:Aura Sphere VIII.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Lucario}} using Aura Sphere]]
===In core series games===
[[File:Spr Pt Riley.png|left|frame|Riley's sprite in Platinum]]
The [[move]] {{m|Aura Sphere}} explicitly uses "aura power" (Japanese: '''{{tt|波導|はどう}}の　{{tt|力|ちから}}''' ''wave-guiding power'') and is in a group of {{cat|aura and pulse moves}} that can be boosted by the [[Ability]] {{a|Mega Launcher}}.

The [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Cutiefly}} state that they have the ability to sense auras. Only the entries for Lucario and {{p|Sylveon}} confirm that the Pokémon make use of aura. During [[Mega Evolution]], Lucario's aura expands and races through its body, with the black streaks on Mega Lucario's body showing where its aura has intermingled with the energy of Mega Evolution.

[[Riley]]'s animations in the [[Sinnoh]] games suggest that he can use Aura as well. In {{v2|Platinum}}, his hand lights up with a blue glow in his opponent animation. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, his hair and hat will shake in his idle animation, similar to Lucario's aura-sensing appendages. The {{p|Riolu}} Egg he gives the player is the only available Riolu in the game, and Riley also trains a Lucario.

In {{g|X and Y}}, [[Korrina]] claims that something in the {{player}}'s aura (Japanese: '''{{tt|波動|はどう}}''' ''wave'') is the reason why one of her Lucario feels a bond with them, which drives her to give that Lucario to the player.

According to Lucario's Pokédex entry in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, aura was named by [[Professor Laventon]].

===In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
The personality quiz at the beginning of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]] mentions Aura. After answering the quiz, the player's Aura is read and described as being a particular color, which is determined by the [[Nintendo DS]]'s UI color or MAC address.

===In the Pokémon Colosseum series===
In both {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, a "black aura" surrounds [[Shadow Pokémon]] and can only be seen by a character named [[Rui]], or with a device called an [[Aura Reader]]. These Pokémon are described as "corrupted", and must be [[purification|purified]].

===In the Super Smash Bros. series===
In the Super Smash Bros. series, almost all of {{SSB|Lucario}}'s moves use {{sbw|Aura}}. Due to Aura, the more damage Lucario has, the more powerful its attacks are. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], when Lucario gets a Smash Ball, it can execute its [[Final Smash]], {{DL|Final Smash|Aura Storm}}. During the attack, Lucario focuses its Aura into a powerful beam that the player controls. During the Subspace Emissary, Lucario used its Aura to see Snake hiding in his box.

In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], [[Mega Evolution]], Lucario's new Final Smash, maximizes the Aura, which normally requires it to take at least 190% damage.

In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], Lucario combines its previous Final Smashes into one by Mega Evolving into Mega Lucario before using Aura Storm.

[[File:Ash Aura.png|thumb|right|250px|{{Ash}} using Aura]]
'''Aura''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|波導|はどう}}''' ''wave-guiding'') is a form of spiritual energy introduced in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. It is described as the essence of every living creature.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lucario movie aura.png|thumb|left|250px|{{OBP|Lucario|M08}} using Aura]]
[[File:Riley aura.png|thumb|210px|Riley using Aura to contain an explosion]]
In the [[Pokémon world]]'s past, there were once [[human]]s that could sense Aura and control its power. These humans, known as Aura Guardians, traveled around doing good deeds and passing on their skills to those who also possessed this innate ability. One famous Aura Guardian was [[Sir Aaron]], who took a {{OBP|Lucario|M08}} as his apprentice and became a hero when he sacrificed himself to stop a war from destroying the area around the [[Tree of Beginning]].

In ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} heard the story of how a {{p|Spiritomb}} was sealed away by an Aura Guardian who traveled with a {{p|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} meet an unnaturally strong {{p|Riolu}} [[Aura Sphere Riolu|capable of using]] the move {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Ash demonstrates the ability to sense Riolu's Aura several times over the remainder of the episode and [[DP072|the next]].

In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh]]'', the [[Pokédex]] entry of {{p|Medicham}} revealed that it has the capability to read Aura.

The Aura Guardians disappeared from history, for some undisclosed reason, a long time before the present era. The only humans in the present time known to have the ability to control Aura are [[Riley]] and Ash, though Ash has chosen to continue his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] rather than follow up on the revelation. However, he did follow in the footsteps of both known Aura Guardians by helping Lucario to save the Tree of Beginning and resealing Spiritomb.
[[File:Ash Lucario Aura vision.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash's Lucario using its Aura vision]]
In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', it was revealed that Riolu are capable of sensing Aura even before they hatch and are able to react to it. This ability is demonstrated in [[Ash's Riolu]], who, after hatching, ran away from Ash and Goh's room in search of the Aura that it had sensed prior to hatching. When Ash and Pikachu found Riolu battling an {{p|Onix}}, they prepared to help Riolu fight it off. In the process, Ash started emitting the same Aura waves Riolu sensed earlier, driving it to help Pikachu and Ash fight the Onix.
[[File:Ash's Greninja aura.png|250px|thumb|Ash's Greninja using its Aura]]
In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', Ash's newly evolved {{AP|Lucario}} contacted its Trainer using its Aura and requested to use {{m|Aura Sphere}} instead of {{m|Vacuum Wave}} while battling [[Rose]].

In ''[[JN084|An Adventure of Mega Proportions!]]'', Ash's Lucario had its Aura power enhanced when Ash received a [[Key Stone]], which {{an|Korrina}} attributed to their already strong bond. Using its new power, Lucario was able to sense a [[Lucarionite]] on [[Mega Island]]. When Ash and Lucario were separated after arriving on the island, Lucario used Aura to locate the Lucarionite and telepathically guided Ash to its exact location. Also during the separation, Ash's Aura powers enhanced through the Key Stone, which helped him sense his Lucario from great distances.

In [[JN108]], Ash claimed that Lucario's Aura felt similar to [[Bond Phenomenon|his bond]] with [[Ash's Greninja|his Greninja]]. Greninja later demonstrated this Aura ability and helped Lucario polish its own Aura.

===Capabilities of Aura===
* Ability to read minds and actions of another being.
* Ability to "sense" other Auras and view surroundings even with a blindfold, also allows users to view through some objects.
* Projection of one's Aura; such as to create barriers or {{m|Aura Sphere|attacks}}. It can also be used to transfer Aura to others, a method that can be fatal to the user.
* Activation of [[time flower]]s
* Telepathy
[[File:Aura with Key Stone.png|thumb|250px|Ash feeling Lucario's Aura through his Key Stone]]

* Create a telepathic vision, in which they can feel each other and anyone inside the other's Aura from far away.

One known human who can sense Aura is Hiori's sister, {{OBP|Lily|Pokémon 7}}, who was kidnapped by [[Team Galactic]] at a young age in order to use her power for their own selfish goals.

A special cloak made by Team Galactic was shown to be able to hide the Aura of the user, preventing them from being tracked.

====Capabilities of Aura====
* Ability to sense other Auras
* Ability to see the Auras of others

===In the Pokémon Try Adventure manga===
{{incomplete|section}}
[[File:Aura TA.png|thumb|200px|Riolu using Aura]]
[[Manami]]'s {{p|Riolu}} used Aura in [[TA34]].

==In the games==
[[File:Aura Sphere VIII.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Lucario}} using Aura Sphere]]
===In core series games===
[[File:Spr Pt Riley.png|left|frame|Riley's sprite in Platinum]]
The [[move]] {{m|Aura Sphere}} explicitly uses "aura power" (Japanese: '''{{tt|波導|はどう}}の　{{tt|力|ちから}}''' ''wave-guiding power'') and is in a group of {{cat|aura and pulse moves}} that can be boosted by the [[Ability]] {{a|Mega Launcher}}.

The [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Cutiefly}} state that they have the ability to sense auras. Only the entries for Lucario and {{p|Sylveon}} confirm that the Pokémon make use of aura. During [[Mega Evolution]], Lucario's aura expands and races through its body, with the black streaks on Mega Lucario's body showing where its aura has intermingled with the energy of Mega Evolution.

[[Riley]]'s animations in the [[Sinnoh]] games suggest that he can use Aura as well. In {{v2|Platinum}}, his hand lights up with a blue glow in his opponent animation. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, his hair and hat will shake in his idle animation, similar to Lucario's aura-sensing appendages. The {{p|Riolu}} Egg he gives the player is the only available Riolu in the game, and Riley also trains a Lucario.

In {{g|X and Y}}, [[Korrina]] claims that something in the {{player}}'s aura (Japanese: '''{{tt|波動|はどう}}''' ''wave'') is the reason why one of her Lucario feels a bond with them, which drives her to give that Lucario to the player.

According to Lucario's Pokédex entry in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, aura was named by [[Professor Laventon]].

===In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
The personality quiz at the beginning of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]] mentions Aura. After answering the quiz, the player's Aura is read and described as being a particular color, which is determined by the [[Nintendo DS]]'s UI color or MAC address.

===In the Pokémon Colosseum series===
In both {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, a "black aura" surrounds [[Shadow Pokémon]] and can only be seen by a character named [[Rui]], or with a device called an [[Aura Reader]]. These Pokémon are described as "corrupted", and must be [[purification|purified]].

===In the Super Smash Bros. series===
In the Super Smash Bros. series, almost all of {{SSB|Lucario}}'s moves use {{sbw|Aura}}. Due to Aura, the more damage Lucario has, the more powerful its attacks are. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], when Lucario gets a Smash Ball, it can execute its [[Final Smash]], {{DL|Final Smash|Aura Storm}}. During the attack, Lucario focuses its Aura into a powerful beam that the player controls. During the Subspace Emissary, Lucario used its Aura to see Snake hiding in his box.

In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], [[Mega Evolution]], Lucario's new Final Smash, maximizes the Aura, which normally requires it to take at least 190% damage.

In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], Lucario combines its previous Final Smashes into one by Mega Evolving into Mega Lucario before using Aura Storm.

==Origin==
In paranormal theory, an {{wp|Aura (paranormal)|aura}} is a field of light said to surround living beings, the color of which is determined by the particular person's disposition. It is often used in artwork to cause objects or people of high importance to stand out. Aura could also be based on the Chinese concept of ''{{wp|qi}}'', which often refers to the life-force existing in all living things.

Bond Phenomenon

2022-05-02T14:42:57Z

Magicknight94: /* In the anime */

[[File:Ash Greninja Lumiose Conference.png|250px|thumb|{{Ash}} and his {{AP|Greninja}} have perfected the transformation]]
'''Bond Phenomenon''' (Japanese: '''キズナ{{tt|現象|げんしょう}}''' ''Bond Phenomenon'') is a transformation affecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that was introduced in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''. It is said to have some connection to the Pokémon's hidden potential.

Unlike [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Primal Reversion]], the transformation does not require any specific [[item]]s for either the {{pkmn|Trainer}} or the Pokémon, though in the games it requires the ability {{a|Battle Bond}}. So far, the only known Pokémon to have this transformation is {{p|Greninja}}. In this form, the strength of Greninja's legs are superior to that of an ordinary Greninja. Additionally, it gains the ability to form large-sized {{m|Water Shuriken}}s on its back.

==In the games==
Bond Phenomenon made its [[core series]] debut in the form of a {{p|Greninja}} that can be transferred to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] from the [[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version|Special Demo Version]]. This unique Greninja possesses the {{a|Battle Bond}} [[Ability]], which triggers the transformation after the opposing Pokémon has [[Fainting|fainted]] and increases the [[power]] of {{m|Water Shuriken}}. This [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Greninja|alternate form]] is called '''Ash-Greninja''' (Japanese: '''サトシゲッコウガ''' ''Satoshi Gekkouga''). In addition, the base Battle Bond Greninja, before transforming, are treated as an alternate form separate from Greninja with {{a|Torrent}} or {{a|Protean}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ninja Village's Hero Greninja.png|thumb|250px|Depiction from the [[Ninja Village]] of a Greninja who achieved the transformation]]
In the [[Pokémon anime]], Bond Phenomenon first appeared in ''[[XY100|A Festival of Decisions!]]'', in which {{Ash}}'s {{p|Frogadier}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{AP|Greninja}} and assumed the Ash-Greninja form. However, the transformation would not be addressed by name until ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', in which {{an|Professor Sycamore}}, after researching the matter, reported his results to Ash and {{ashfr}}.

In the anime, Bond Phenomenon may be achieved when the [[Friendship|trust]] between the Trainer and the Pokémon reaches maximum. While a Pokémon and Trainer are using this form, the Trainer shares the Pokémon's pain in the same place the Pokémon was dealt [[damage]]. The Trainer can also share the Pokémon's point of view. If the form is not mastered, the Trainer and Pokémon can pass out from exhaustion.

Ash described that his ability to become one with Greninja felt similar to Lucario's [[Aura]].

'''Eevee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イーブイ''' ''Eievui'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into one of [[Eeveelution|eight different Pokémon]] through various methods:
* Eevee evolves into {{p|Vaporeon}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].
* Eevee evolves into {{p|Jolteon}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].
* Eevee evolves into {{p|Flareon}} when exposed to a [[Fire Stone]].
* Eevee evolves into {{p|Espeon}} when leveled up with high [[friendship]] during the [[Time#Time-based evolutions|daytime]] ([[Generation II]] onward, except for [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]), except in areas with a Moss Rock or Ice Rock or while knowing a Fairy-type move.
** It also evolves into Espeon when leveled up with high friendship with a [[Sun Shard]] in the [[Bag]] (in {{Pokémon XD}}).
* Eevee evolves into {{p|Umbreon}} when leveled up with high friendship during the [[Time#Time-based evolutions|nighttime]] (Generation II onward, except for Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen), except in areas with a Moss Rock or Ice Rock or while knowing a Fairy-type move.
** It also evolves into Umbreon when leveled up with high friendship with a [[Moon Shard]] in the Bag (in Pokémon XD).
* Eevee evolves into {{p|Leafeon}} when leveled up near a [[Moss Rock]] (Generations {{gen|IV}} to {{gen|VII}}), when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]] ({{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}), or through either method ({{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]).
* Eevee evolves into {{p|Glaceon}} when leveled up near an [[Ice Rock]] (Generations IV to VII and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl), when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]] (Sword and Shield), or through either method (Pokémon Legends: Arceus).
* Eevee evolves into {{p|Sylveon}} (except for {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}) when leveled up with a {{type|Fairy}} [[move]] and either two levels of [[Affection]] (Generations {{gen|VI}} and VII) or high friendship ([[Generation VIII]]), except in areas with a Moss Rock or Ice Rock.

Eevee has a [[Gigantamax]] form. Eevee with the Gigantamax Factor cannot evolve.

Eevee is the [[game mascot]] and [[starter Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]], as well as for the main characters of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Conquest]]. It is the starting Pokémon and first Pokémon employee of the player in [[Pokémon Café Mix]]. It is also the [[rival]]'s starter Pokémon in {{game|Yellow}}, although [[Professor Oak]] originally intended to give it to the {{player}}.

==Biology==
Eevee is a mammalian, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with primarily brown fur. The tip of its bushy tail and its large furry collar are cream-colored. It has short, slender legs with three small toes and a pink paw pad on each foot. Eevee has brown eyes, long pointed ears with dark brown interiors, and a small black nose. Eevee is rarely found in the wild and is mostly only found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|cities and towns}}. However, it is said to have an irregularly shaped genetic structure that is easily influenced by its environment. This allows it to adapt to a variety of habitats by [[Evolution|evolving]]. Eevee is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the exclusive [[Z-Move]] {{m|Extreme Evoboost}}.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]], the {{player}} [[starter Pokémon|starts with]] a special Eevee known as a {{ga|Partner Pokémon|Partner}} Eevee. The Partner Eevee has purple eyes and a lighter shade of fur. These design elements were likely taken from the {{pkmn|anime}}, which implemented similar traits starting in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''. Partner Eevee has higher base stats and access to [[move]]s that normal Eevee do not. Partner Eevee is the only Pokémon capable of performing {{m|Bouncy Bubble}}, {{m|Buzzy Buzz}}, {{m|Sizzly Slide}}, {{m|Glitzy Glow}}, {{m|Baddy Bad}}, {{m|Sappy Seed}}, {{m|Freezy Frost}}, {{m|Sparkly Swirl}}, and the Partner Power, {{m|Veevee Volley}}. The marking on the tip of a [[Variant Pokémon#Eevee|female Partner Eevee]]'s tail is heart-shaped. Before [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], this trait was unique and wasn't found on other female Eevee. In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] and later [[Pokémon GO]] updates, the unique tail pattern is present on all female Eevee as a true gender difference.

As [[Gigantamax]] Eevee, it has become larger and more fluffy. The fur collar becomes longer with several triangular furs pointing straight up. The right ear has three red clouds surrounding it like a circle. Due to the fur becoming fluffier and luxurious, any enemies caught in it will lose the will to fight due to being enamored by its presence. Due to Gigantamaxing, Eevee becomes even more playful and rambunctious, desiring to play with its opponent and often unintentionally crushing them with its size.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-eevee/</ref>

Gigantamax Eevee is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the exclusive [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Cuddle}}.

Sadly, this attack isn't incredibly powerful. ''

'''PAL''': ''This adorable Normal-type Pokémon's ability to evolve in so many different ways makes it a popular choice with trainers. When brought out in battle, Eevee uses Take Down on the first opponent it sees, but...it's not very effective. Never mind. Eevee may not be the toughest Pokémon, but it'll always be one of the cutest. ''

===Evolution===
{{evobox/1branch7}}

* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Eevee can only evolve into {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, or {{p|Flareon}}, as the other evolved forms are unavailable in those games.
* Eevee can't evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} due to the lack of [[time|day and night cycle mechanics]] in those games.
* Eevee can't evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} due to the lack of a [[Moss Rock]] and [[Ice Rock]], respectively, in those games.
* Eevee can't evolve into {{p|Sylveon}} in {{game|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|s}} as Sylveon is unavailable in those games.
* If the evolution methods for more than one of Eevee's possible evolved forms are triggered at the same time, it prioritizes Leafeon or Glaceon over Sylveon, and Sylveon over Espeon or Umbreon.

** The fan-made term to describe the evolutions of Eevee, Eeveelutions, was made official after its use in the strategy guide for [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], followed by {{TCG|Eeveelution|a TCG Theme Deck}}.
* In early English promotional material for [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue]], Eevee was called "Eon", the suffix of all of the evolved forms of Eevee.
* In [[Generation I]], Eevee is the only Pokémon to have a branched evolution.
* It is impossible for Eevee to evolve into {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} because the games lack a {{DL|Time|Generation III|time system}}. It is also impossible for it to evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} and {{p|Glaceon}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} since neither [[Johto]] nor [[Kanto]] has a [[Moss Rock]] or an [[Ice Rock]].
* Despite Eevee being obtainable before the {{un|Pokémon League}} in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, it cannot evolve into Leafeon or Glaceon until after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. This is because [[Twist Mountain]] and [[Pinwheel Forest]] are inaccessible before then.
* Eevee is the only pre-existing Pokémon to [[List of cross-generational evolution families|receive an evolution]] in [[Generation VI]], though many received [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* Four of Eevee's evolved forms evolve through abnormal means in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] ({{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}}).
** In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Eevee evolves using the {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Sun Ribbon}} or {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Lunar Ribbon}} with at least 1 star of IQ, a {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Mossy Rock}}, or a {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Frozen Rock}} into its respective evolved forms.
* In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, all of Eevee's evolved forms up to the third generation can be captured; however, Eevee is completely unobtainable. This was changed in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]].
* Despite the fact that {{an|May}}, {{Gary}}, and [[Sakura]] each owned an Eevee that went on to evolve, Eevee was never seen evolving onscreen in the {{pkmn|anime}} until ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', when [[Ursula]] evolved her two Eevee into {{p|Flareon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}} during a Contest appeal, over thirteen years into the anime.
* As a species, Eevee has appeared in the [[Party|teams]] of the most main characters in the anime, with {{an|May}}, {{an|Serena}}, and {{an|Lana}} each owning one.
** This also makes Eevee the only Pokémon species in the anime to have been owned by more than two different main characters.
* Eevee has more [[signature moves]] than any other Pokémon, with a total of nine.
* Eevee is the only pre-existing Pokémon to [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|receive a gender difference]] after [[Generation IV]].

===Origin===
In the 2018 artbook, EVs, [[Motofumi Fujiwara]] revealed that Eevee was inspired by vague childhood memories of an unknown creature he encountered in the forest. Though it wasn't based on any distinct animal, Fujiwara mentioned that Eevee reminded him of a fluffy cat or dog-like creature.<ref>https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2018-09-10/pokemon-designers-reflect-on-history-of-eevee-design/.136529</ref>

====Name origin====
Eevee and Eievui are the pronunciations of ''E-V'', the first two letters in the word [[evolution]].

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

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Arceus will {{form|Arceus|change type}} when it is holding a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].

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

Arceus is known as "The Original One", as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[creation trio]].

It is the [[trio master]] of both the lake guardians and the creation trio.

Arceus is featured prominently in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

==Biology==
Arceus is a white equine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a {{wp|qilin}} or {{wp|centaur}} with a gray, vertically-striated underside. The striated pattern has similar recurrences on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. Arceus also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on its current type, which depends on the [[Plate]] or [[Z-Crystal| type-specific Z-Crystal]] that it wields. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in terms of shape and coloration.

According to legend, it shaped the Pokémon universe using its 1000 arms. Arceus has been refer to as ''The Original One'' in myths and legends. Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[lake guardians]] {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}; and the [[creation trio]] {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Because of this, Arceus is thought to be one of the most long-lived of all Pokémon species. It has the power to recreate the creation trio as well, presumably to guard the dimensions when a Trainer has caught one of them. In the anime, Arceus has been portrayed as having powers such as bringing back things that it once destroyed, making certain things vanish into thin air, halting time, and overturn the very laws of nature. Arceus also has the power to not only calm {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} but also destroy the [[Red Chain]] as seen in [[JN090|anime]]. In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] it is capable of [[time travel]]. Arceus can change its type at will in order to adapt to a situation and can even use the power of all but one of the 18, single-type [[Plate]]s at once (the power of the [[Blank Plate]] will never be used by the Legend Plate, as nothing is weak to the Normal type), as seen with the Legend Plate. Arceus also has the power to create a piece of itself to exist outside of its home dimension which is just as powerful as the original.

Arceus is shown to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times and protected it from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion in return to those who treated it with equal kindness. In the modern time, Arceus continues to watch over the world, and it wishes for people and Pokémon to work together in face of adversity. Even when it is needed, it would only give out hints for how to solve the problem, instead of directly interfering. In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] it is explained that Arceus can give its blessing to Pokémon to make them more powerful, which are referred to as [[Noble Pokémon]], and the power is passed down through family lines. The people of [[Hisui]] worshiped the Noble Pokémon. Arceus can also create items for humans to use such as the [[Arc Phone]] and [[Celestica Flute]]. Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates. It is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Judgment}}.

In the introduction sequence of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], Arceus is shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of human speech]], and it states that Arceus is simply the name humans call it. The ancient inhabitants of the [[Hisui]] region who worshiped it referred to it as almighty Sinnoh.

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

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

The Alpha Pokémon appeared in [[JNS01]]. Sensing the experience of [[Team Galactic]] on the [[Flame Plate]], it summoned the [[Lake guardians (anime)|lake guardians]]. Later, in [[JNS02]], Arceus and the lake guardians appeared in a vision to {{Ash}}, [[Dawn (anime)|Dawn]], and [[Goh]] to warn them about an upcoming disaster. When the power of the Flame Plate went out of control and combined with Heatran to create a rampaging lava monster, Arceus dispatched the lake guardians to help the team. In [[JNS03]], Arceus appeared at the [[Spear Pillar]] after Ash and his friends were unable to prevent the berserk Heatran's advance, and subsequently unleashed {{m|Judgment}}. In [[JNS04]], the move managed to destroy Team Galactic's helicopter. After closing the dimensional portal over [[Mount Coronet]], the Pokémon agreed to help Ash save Heatran. Changing its type to water, Arceus created a gigantic mass of water to trap the lava monster. This allowed Ash and his friends to perpetrate the monster's body and rescue Heatran. After the adversity was averted, Arceus absorbed the Flame Plate back and took its leave along with the lake guardians.

====Minor appearances====
Arceus made its main series debut as a silhouette in [[JN090]]. It was called upon by Ash, his friends, their alternate world counterparts, and the people in both of their worlds to help stop {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}'s fight and destroy the [[Red Chain]] that was forcing them to battle.

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

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

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all {{TCG|type}}s but {{TCG|Dragon}} and {{TCG|Fairy}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set.

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

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

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

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearance===
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Arceus appears when [[Dark Matter]] begins trying to take the [[Tree of Life]] to the sun, leading the other Pokémon in attempting to stop its ascent. He is able to telepathically reach the player thanks to {{P|Mewtwo}} and transports them to the Tree of Life's roots to confront Dark Matter. When Dark Matter regenerates itself and sends out a massive shockwave, Arceus and the other legendary Pokémon gathered to stop the Tree of Life are immediately turned to stone. After Dark Matter is defeated, Arceus will remain at the top of [[Destiny Tower (Super Mystery Dungeon)|Destiny Tower]].

Arceus was originally intended to appear in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} in the [[Hall of Origin]] when summoned using an [[event item]] called the [[Azure Flute]]. However, the Azure Flute was never distributed, although the text seen when receiving the 20th Anniversary Arceus states that Arceus could first be obtained in Diamond and Pearl in the Hall of Origin.

==Trivia==

[[File:493-Unknown.png|thumb|???-type Arceus]]
* In the [[Generation IV]] {{pkmn|games}}, there are sprites for ???-type Arceus, but this is not obtainable without [[cheating]], as there is no [[Plate]] for ???-type.
** Due to how its [[Ability]] would automatically turn any Arceus without a Plate into the {{type|Normal}} in Generation IV, a ???-type Arceus hacked into the game will be treated as a Normal type.
* According to the {{pkmn|anime}} [[dub]]'s then-voice director [[Tom Wayland]], the dub chose to pronounce Arceus with {{wp|Hard and soft C|a hard ''c'' instead of a soft ''c''}} due to concerns over the latter pronunciation's potential {{wp|arse|implications}} in British English-speaking territories.
** This pronunciation is also reflected in the name of the {{a|RKS System}} ability.
* Arceus has the highest base stat total of all Normal-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
** Arceus also has the highest base stat total of all [[Mythical Pokémon]].
* Arceus is the only [[trio master]] of two different trios: the [[lake guardians]] and the [[creation trio]].
* In Generation IV (its debut generation), it was impossible to legitimately give Arceus more than 100 [[EV]]s in any stat (without the use of glitches), since it was only ever distributed at [[level]] 100. Prior to Generation V, level 100 Pokémon could not gain EVs through battling because they could not gain [[experience]].
* Arceus is the only pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* Arceus received the most votes of all pre-Generation V Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Arceus|promotion]] poll in both the Japanese poll and the international (non-Japanese and non-Korean) poll.
* Prior to [[Generation VII]], Arceus was classified by Pokédex color sorting as gray.
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Arceus can be encountered without the use of the [[Azure Flute]] by a combination of [[Tweaking]] and the [[Pal Park Retire glitch]]. In addition, Arceus can be encountered an unlimited amount of times with this method, unlike {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as the player can no longer freely move in the "void".
* Arceus is the first Mythical Pokémon to be a game mascot.
* The name of the [[Ability]] {{a|RKS System}} is a reference to Arceus, with its English name being similar to the pronunciation of "Arceus". In {{pmin|Germany|German}}, {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}}, {{pmin|France|French}}, and {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}, its name is instead a reference to Arceus's {{pkmn|category}}, the Alpha Pokémon.
** The company {{DL|Poké Job|List of companies|RKS Laboratories}} (Japanese: '''アルセウス{{tt|製薬|せいやく}}''' ''Arceus Pharma'') in [[Galar]] has a logo similar to the rings on Arceus's body, furthering the connection.
* Despite it being a [[Mythical Pokémon]], Arceus has been sometimes treated as a Legendary Pokémon.
** Arceus is called a Legendary Pokémon by {{mas|Norman}} in the "Challenge the Normal Types" [[Daily Type Rotation]] event of [[Pokémon Masters EX]].
** The official English website of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] used to refer to Arceus as a Legendary Pokémon, which was later corrected to Mythical Pokémon.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/ Pokémon Legends: Arceus]</ref> In the Japanese website, it has been referred to as a Mythical Pokémon from the beginning.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_arceus/ja/pokemon/210818_08/ Pokémon LEGENDS アルセウス]</ref>

===Origin===
Arceus appears to be particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. Arceus's stance and general form are similar to Egyptian bull and calf idols, particularly {{wp|Apis (deity)|Apis}}. Based on its appearance and attack movements in the 3D games, Arceus may be modeled after a {{wp|horse}} or {{wp|qilin}}. The arc on its back may be inspired by the {{wp|Dharmachakra}}, or the {{wp|Bhavacakra}}, used to represent a concept similar to the reincarnation in {{wp|Hinduism}}.

The conception of the first god might be influenced by the {{wp|Shinto}} gods {{wp|Kuninotokotachi}} and {{wp|Amenominakanushi}}, who summoned {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}} to create Japan with the spear. It may also be a reference to the {{wp|qilin}}, a Chinese mythical creature. Its myth is nearly identical to the {{wp|world egg}}, found in creation myths of many cultures and civilizations. Arceus may also represent or be inspired by the {{wp|bodhisattva}} {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}}, who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's Pokédex entry) or in a {{wp|Avalokiteśvara#Tibetan Buddhist beliefs|white, four-armed manifestation}} (which could look similar to Normal-type Arceus).

====Name origin====
Arceus may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:arch-|arch-]]'' (most extreme, highest), ''{{wp|archon}}'' (a Greek word that means "ruler" or "lord"), ''[[wiktionary:arcanus|arcanus]]'' (Latin for ''secret, mystery''), ''archaic'' (ancient), αρχή ''arkhē'' (Greek for ''beginning''), or ''archetypus'' (Latin for ''original''), and ''{{wp|deus}}'' (Latin for ''god''). It may also derive from ''[[wiktionary:aureus|aureus]]'' (golden, in reference to its hooves and wheel), ''[[wiktionary:arc|arc]]'' (round or ring), ''arcessere'' (Latin for ''to summon''), or ''{{wp|Archeus}}'' (an aspect of the astral plane). It may also be a reference to Arcesius, the king of Ithaca mentioned in the Odyssey that was a son of Zeus.

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

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Arceus will {{form|Arceus|change type}} when it is holding a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].

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

Arceus is known as "The Original One", as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[creation trio]].

It is the [[trio master]] of both the lake guardians and the creation trio.

Arceus is featured prominently in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

==Biology==
Arceus is a white equine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a {{wp|qilin}} or {{wp|centaur}} with a gray, vertically-striated underside. The striated pattern has similar recurrences on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. Arceus also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on its current type, which depends on the [[Plate]] or [[Z-Crystal| type-specific Z-Crystal]] that it wields. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in terms of shape and coloration.

According to legend, it shaped the Pokémon universe using its 1000 arms. Arceus has been refer to as ''The Original One'' in myths and legends. Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[lake guardians]] {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}; and the [[creation trio]] {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Because of this, Arceus is thought to be one of the most long-lived of all Pokémon species. It has the power to recreate the creation trio as well, presumably to guard the dimensions when a Trainer has caught one of them. In the anime, Arceus has been portrayed as having powers such as bringing back things that it once destroyed, making certain things vanish into thin air, halting time, and overturn the very laws of nature. Arceus also has the power to not only calm {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} but also destroy the [[Red Chain]] as seen in [[JN090|anime]]. In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] it is capable of [[time travel]]. Arceus can change its type at will in order to adapt to a situation and can even use the power of all 17 [[Plate]]s at once as seen with the Legend Plate. Arceus also has the power to create a piece of itself to exist outside of its home dimension which is just as powerful as the original.

Arceus is shown to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times and protected it from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion in return to those who treated it with equal kindness. In the modern time, Arceus continues to watch over the world, and it wishes for people and Pokémon to work together in face of adversity. Even when it is needed, it would only give out hints for how to solve the problem, instead of directly interfering. In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] it is explained that Arceus can give its blessing to Pokémon to make them more powerful, which are referred to as [[Noble Pokémon]] and the power is passed down through family lines. The people of [[Hisui]] worshiped the Noble Pokémon. Arceus can also create items for humans to use such as the [[Arc Phone]] and [[Celestica Flute]]. Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates. It is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Judgment}}.

In the introduction sequence of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] Arceus is shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of human speech]], and it states that Arceus is simply the name humans call it. The ancient inhabitants of the [[Hisui]] region who worshiped it referred to it as almighty Sinnoh.

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

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

The Alpha Pokémon appeared in [[JNS01]]. Sensing the experience of [[Team Galactic]] on the [[Flame Plate]], it summoned the Lake Trio. Later, in [[JNS02]], Arceus and the Lake Trio appeared in a vision to {{Ash}}, [[Dawn (anime)|Dawn]], and [[Goh]] to warn them about an upcoming disaster. When the power of the Flame Plate went out of control and combined with Heatran to create a rampaging lava monster, Arceus dispatched the Lake Trio to help the team. In [[JNS03]], Arceus appeared at the [[Spear Pillar]] after Ash and his friends were unable to prevent the berserk Heatran's advance, and unleashed {{m|Judgment}}. In [[JNS04]], the move managed to destroy Team Galactic's helicopter. After closing the dimensional portal over [[Mount Coronet]], the Pokémon agreed to help Ash save Heatran. Changing its type to water, Arceus created a gigantic mass of water to trap the lava monster. This allowed Ash and his friends to perpetrate the monster's body and rescue Heatran. After the adversity was averted, Arceus absorbed the Flame Plate back and took its leave along with the Lake Trio.

====Minor appearances====
Arceus made its main series debut as a silhouette in [[JN090]]. It was called upon by Ash, his friends, their alternate world counterparts, and the people in both of their worlds to help stop {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}'s fight and destroy the [[Red Chain]] that was forcing them to battle.

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

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

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all {{TCG|type}}s but {{TCG|Dragon}} and {{TCG|Fairy}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set.

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

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

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

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearance===
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Arceus appears when [[Dark Matter]] begins trying to take the [[Tree of Life]] to the sun, leading the other Pokémon in attempting to stop its ascent. He is able to telepathically reach the player thanks to {{P|Mewtwo}} and transports them to the Tree of Life's roots to confront Dark Matter. When Dark Matter regenerates itself and sends out a massive shockwave, Arceus and the other legendary Pokémon gathered to stop the Tree of Life are immediately turned to stone. After Dark Matter is defeated, Arceus will remain at the top of [[Destiny Tower (Super Mystery Dungeon)|Destiny Tower]].

Arceus was originally intended to appear in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} in the [[Hall of Origin]] when summoned using an [[event item]] called the [[Azure Flute]]. However, the Azure Flute was never distributed, although the text seen when receiving the 20th Anniversary Arceus states that Arceus could first be obtained in Diamond and Pearl in the Hall of Origin.

==Trivia==

[[File:493-Unknown.png|thumb|???-type Arceus]]
* In the [[Generation IV]] {{pkmn|games}}, there are sprites for ???-type Arceus, but this is not obtainable without [[cheating]], as there is no [[Plate]] for ???-type.
** Due to how its [[Ability]] would automatically turn any Arceus without a Plate into the {{type|Normal}} in Generation IV, a ???-type Arceus hacked into the game will be treated as a Normal type.
* According to the {{pkmn|anime}} [[dub]]'s then-voice director [[Tom Wayland]], the dub chose to pronounce Arceus with {{wp|Hard and soft C|a hard ''c'' instead of a soft ''c''}} due to concerns over the latter pronunciation's potential {{wp|arse|implications}} in British English-speaking territories.
** This pronunciation is also reflected in the name of the {{a|RKS System}} ability.
* Arceus has the highest base stat total of all Normal-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
** Arceus also has the highest base stat total of all [[Mythical Pokémon]].
* Arceus is the only [[trio master]] of two different trios: the [[lake guardians]] and the [[creation trio]].
* In Generation IV (its debut generation), it was impossible to legitimately give Arceus more than 100 [[EV]]s in any stat (without the use of glitches), since it was only ever distributed at [[level]] 100. Prior to Generation V, level 100 Pokémon could not gain EVs through battling because they could not gain [[experience]].
* Arceus is the only pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* Arceus received the most votes of all pre-Generation V Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Arceus|promotion]] poll in both the Japanese poll and the international (non-Japanese and non-Korean) poll.
* Prior to [[Generation VII]], Arceus was classified by Pokédex color sorting as gray.
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Arceus can be encountered without the use of the [[Azure Flute]] by a combination of [[Tweaking]] and the [[Pal Park Retire glitch]]. In addition, Arceus can be encountered an unlimited amount of times with this method, unlike {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as the player can no longer freely move in the "void".
* Arceus is the first Mythical Pokémon to be a game mascot.
* The name of the [[Ability]] {{a|RKS System}} is a reference to Arceus, with its English name being similar to the pronunciation of "Arceus". In {{pmin|Germany|German}}, {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}}, {{pmin|France|French}}, and {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}, its name is instead a reference to Arceus's {{pkmn|category}}, the Alpha Pokémon.
** The company {{DL|Poké Job|List of companies|RKS Laboratories}} (Japanese: '''アルセウス{{tt|製薬|せいやく}}''' ''Arceus Pharma'') in [[Galar]] has a logo similar to the rings on Arceus's body, furthering the connection.
* Despite it being a [[Mythical Pokémon]], Arceus has been sometimes treated as a Legendary Pokémon.
** Arceus is called a Legendary Pokémon by {{mas|Norman}} in the "Challenge the Normal Types" [[Daily Type Rotation]] event of [[Pokémon Masters EX]].
** The official English website of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] used to refer to Arceus as a Legendary Pokémon, which was later corrected to Mythical Pokémon.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/ Pokémon Legends: Arceus]</ref> In the Japanese website, it has been referred to as a Mythical Pokémon from the beginning.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_arceus/ja/pokemon/210818_08/ Pokémon LEGENDS アルセウス]</ref>

===Origin===
Arceus appears to be particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. Arceus's stance and general form are similar to Egyptian bull and calf idols, particularly {{wp|Apis (deity)|Apis}}. Based on its appearance and attack movements in the 3D games, Arceus may be modeled after a {{wp|horse}} or {{wp|qilin}}. The arc on its back may be inspired by the {{wp|Dharmachakra}}, or the {{wp|Bhavacakra}}, used to represent a concept similar to the reincarnation in {{wp|Hinduism}}.

The conception of the first god might be influenced by the {{wp|Shinto}} gods {{wp|Kuninotokotachi}} and {{wp|Amenominakanushi}}, who summoned {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}} to create Japan with the spear. It may also be a reference to the {{wp|qilin}}, a Chinese mythical creature. Its myth is nearly identical to the {{wp|world egg}}, found in creation myths of many cultures and civilizations. Arceus may also represent or be inspired by the {{wp|bodhisattva}} {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}}, who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's Pokédex entry) or in a {{wp|Avalokiteśvara#Tibetan Buddhist beliefs|white, four-armed manifestation}} (which could look similar to Normal-type Arceus).

====Name origin====
Arceus may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:arch-|arch-]]'' (most extreme, highest), ''{{wp|archon}}'' (a Greek word that means "ruler" or "lord"), ''[[wiktionary:arcanus|arcanus]]'' (Latin for ''secret, mystery''), ''archaic'' (ancient), αρχή ''arkhē'' (Greek for ''beginning''), or ''archetypus'' (Latin for ''original''), and ''{{wp|deus}}'' (Latin for ''god''). It may also derive from ''[[wiktionary:aureus|aureus]]'' (golden, in reference to its hooves and wheel), ''[[wiktionary:arc|arc]]'' (round or ring), ''arcessere'' (Latin for ''to summon''), or ''{{wp|Archeus}}'' (an aspect of the astral plane). It may also be a reference to Arcesius, the king of Ithaca mentioned in the Odyssey that was a son of Zeus.

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

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Arceus will {{form|Arceus|change type}} when it is holding a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].

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

Arceus is known as "The Original One", as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[creation trio]].

It is the [[trio master]] of both the lake guardians and the creation trio.

Arceus is featured prominently in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

==Biology==
Arceus is a white equine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a {{wp|qilin}} or {{wp|centaur}} with a gray, vertically-striated underside. The striated pattern has similar recurrences on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. Arceus also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on its current type, which depends on the [[Plate]] or [[Z-Crystal| type-specific Z-Crystal]] that it wields. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in terms of shape and coloration.

According to legend, it shaped the Pokémon universe using its 1000 arms. Arceus has been refer to as ''The Original One'' in myths and legends. Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[lake guardians]] {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}; and the [[creation trio]] {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Because of this, Arceus is thought to be one of the most long-lived of all Pokémon species. It has the power to recreate the creation trio as well, presumably to guard the dimensions when a Trainer has caught one of them. In the anime, Arceus has been portrayed as having powers such as bringing back things that it once destroyed, making certain things vanish into thin air, halting time, and overturn the very laws of nature. Arceus also has the power to not only calm {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} but also destroy the [[Red Chain]] as seen in [[JN090|anime]]. In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] it is capable of [[time travel]]. Arceus can change its type at will in order to adapt to a situation and can even use the power of all 17 [[Plate]]s at once as seen with the Legend Plate. Arceus also has the power to create a piece of itself to exist outside of its home dimension which is just as powerful as the original.

Arceus is shown to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times and protected it from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion in return to those who treated it with equal kindness. In the modern time, Arceus continues to watch over the world, and it wishes for people and Pokémon to work together in face of adversity. Even when it is needed, it would only give out hints for how to solve the problem, instead of directly interfering. In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] it is explained that Arceus can give its blessing to Pokémon to make them more powerful, which are referred to as [[Noble Pokémon]] and the power is passed down through family lines. The people of [[Hisui]] worshiped the Noble Pokémon. Arceus can also create items for humans to use such as the [[Arc Phone]] and [[Celestica Flute]]. Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates. It is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Judgment}}.

In the introduction sequence of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] Arceus is shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of human speech]], and it states that Arceus is simply the name humans call it. The ancient inhabitants of the [[Hisui]] region who worshiped it referred to it as almighty Sinnoh.

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

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

The Alpha Pokémon and the Lake Trio appeared in a vision to {{Ash}}, [[Dawn (anime)|Dawn]], and [[Goh]] in [[JNS01]] to warn them about an upcoming disaster. Reacting to the rising power of [[Flame Plate]], Arceus in [[JNS02]] dispatched the Lake Trio to help the team. In [[JNS03]], Arceus appeared at the [[Spear Pillar]] after Ash and his friends were unable to prevent the berserk Heatran's advance, and unleashed {{m|Judgment}}. In [[JNS04]], the move managed to destroy [[Team Galactic]]'s helicopter. After closing the dimensional portal over [[Mount Coronet]], the Pokémon agreed to help Ash save Heatran. Changing its type to water, Arceus created a gigantic mass of water to trap the lava monster. This allowed Ash and his friends to perpetrate the monster's body and rescue Heatran. After the adversity was averted, Arceus and the Lake Trio took their leaves.

====Minor appearances====
Arceus made its main series debut as a silhouette in [[JN090]]. It was called upon by Ash, his friends, their alternate world counterparts, and the people in both of their worlds to help stop {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}'s fight and destroy the [[Red Chain]] that was forcing them to battle.

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

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

Arceus appears in the TCG in all {{TCG|type}}s but {{TCG|Dragon}} and {{TCG|Fairy}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set.

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

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

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

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearance===
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Arceus appears when [[Dark Matter]] begins trying to take the [[Tree of Life]] to the sun, leading the other Pokémon in attempting to stop its ascent. He is able to telepathically reach the player thanks to {{P|Mewtwo}} and transports them to the Tree of Life's roots to confront Dark Matter. When Dark Matter regenerates itself and sends out a massive shockwave, Arceus and the other legendary Pokémon gathered to stop the Tree of Life are immediately turned to stone. After Dark Matter is defeated, Arceus will remain at the top of [[Destiny Tower (Super Mystery Dungeon)|Destiny Tower]].

Arceus was originally intended to appear in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} in the [[Hall of Origin]] when summoned using an [[event item]] called the [[Azure Flute]]. However, the Azure Flute was never distributed, although the text seen when receiving the 20th Anniversary Arceus states that Arceus could first be obtained in Diamond and Pearl in the Hall of Origin.

==Trivia==

[[File:493-Unknown.png|thumb|???-type Arceus]]
* In the [[Generation IV]] {{pkmn|games}}, there are sprites for ???-type Arceus, but this is not obtainable without [[cheating]], as there is no [[Plate]] for ???-type.
** Due to how its [[Ability]] would automatically turn any Arceus without a Plate into the {{type|Normal}} in Generation IV, a ???-type Arceus hacked into the game will be treated as a Normal type.
* According to the {{pkmn|anime}} [[dub]]'s then-voice director [[Tom Wayland]], the dub chose to pronounce Arceus with {{wp|Hard and soft C|a hard ''c'' instead of a soft ''c''}} due to concerns over the latter pronunciation's potential {{wp|arse|implications}} in British English-speaking territories.
** This pronunciation is also reflected in the name of the {{a|RKS System}} ability.
* Arceus has the highest base stat total of all Normal-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
** Arceus also has the highest base stat total of all [[Mythical Pokémon]].
* Arceus is the only [[trio master]] of two different trios: the [[lake guardians]] and the [[creation trio]].
* In Generation IV (its debut generation), it was impossible to legitimately give Arceus more than 100 [[EV]]s in any stat (without the use of glitches), since it was only ever distributed at [[level]] 100. Prior to Generation V, level 100 Pokémon could not gain EVs through battling because they could not gain [[experience]].
* Arceus is the only pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* Arceus received the most votes of all pre-Generation V Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Arceus|promotion]] poll in both the Japanese poll and the international (non-Japanese and non-Korean) poll.
* Prior to [[Generation VII]], Arceus was classified by Pokédex color sorting as gray.
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Arceus can be encountered without the use of the [[Azure Flute]] by a combination of [[Tweaking]] and the [[Pal Park Retire glitch]]. In addition, Arceus can be encountered an unlimited amount of times with this method, unlike {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as the player can no longer freely move in the "void".
* Arceus is the first Mythical Pokémon to be a game mascot.
* The name of the [[Ability]] {{a|RKS System}} is a reference to Arceus, with its English name being similar to the pronunciation of "Arceus". In {{pmin|Germany|German}}, {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}}, {{pmin|France|French}}, and {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}, its name is instead a reference to Arceus's {{pkmn|category}}, the Alpha Pokémon.
** The company {{DL|Poké Job|List of companies|RKS Laboratories}} (Japanese: '''アルセウス{{tt|製薬|せいやく}}''' ''Arceus Pharma'') in [[Galar]] has a logo similar to the rings on Arceus's body, furthering the connection.
* Despite it being a [[Mythical Pokémon]], Arceus has been sometimes treated as a Legendary Pokémon.
** Arceus is called a Legendary Pokémon by {{mas|Norman}} in the "Challenge the Normal Types" [[Daily Type Rotation]] event of [[Pokémon Masters EX]].
** The official English website of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] used to refer to Arceus as a Legendary Pokémon, which was later corrected to Mythical Pokémon.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/ Pokémon Legends: Arceus]</ref> In the Japanese website, it has been referred to as a Mythical Pokémon from the beginning.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_arceus/ja/pokemon/210818_08/ Pokémon LEGENDS アルセウス]</ref>

===Origin===
Arceus appears to be particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. Arceus's stance and general form are similar to Egyptian bull and calf idols, particularly {{wp|Apis (deity)|Apis}}. Based on its appearance and attack movements in the 3D games, Arceus may be modeled after a {{wp|horse}} or {{wp|qilin}}. The arc on its back may be inspired by the {{wp|Dharmachakra}}, or the {{wp|Bhavacakra}}, used to represent a concept similar to the reincarnation in {{wp|Hinduism}}.

The conception of the first god might be influenced by the {{wp|Shinto}} gods {{wp|Kuninotokotachi}} and {{wp|Amenominakanushi}}, who summoned {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}} to create Japan with the spear. It may also be a reference to the {{wp|qilin}}, a Chinese mythical creature. Its myth is nearly identical to the {{wp|world egg}}, found in creation myths of many cultures and civilizations. Arceus may also represent or be inspired by the {{wp|bodhisattva}} {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}}, who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's Pokédex entry) or in a {{wp|Avalokiteśvara#Tibetan Buddhist beliefs|white, four-armed manifestation}} (which could look similar to Normal-type Arceus).

====Name origin====
Arceus may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:arch-|arch-]]'' (most extreme, highest), ''{{wp|archon}}'' (a Greek word that means "ruler" or "lord"), ''[[wiktionary:arcanus|arcanus]]'' (Latin for ''secret, mystery''), ''archaic'' (ancient), αρχή ''arkhē'' (Greek for ''beginning''), or ''archetypus'' (Latin for ''original''), and ''{{wp|deus}}'' (Latin for ''god''). It may also derive from ''[[wiktionary:aureus|aureus]]'' (golden, in reference to its hooves and wheel), ''[[wiktionary:arc|arc]]'' (round or ring), ''arcessere'' (Latin for ''to summon''), or ''{{wp|Archeus}}'' (an aspect of the astral plane). It may also be a reference to Arcesius, the king of Ithaca mentioned in the Odyssey that was a son of Zeus.

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

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Arceus will {{form|Arceus|change type}} when it is holding a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].

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

Arceus is known as "The Original One", as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[creation trio]].

It is the [[trio master]] of both the lake guardians and the creation trio.

Arceus is featured prominently in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

==Biology==
Arceus is a white equine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a {{wp|qilin}} or {{wp|centaur}} with a gray, vertically-striated underside. The striated pattern has similar recurrences on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. Arceus also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on its current type, which depends on the [[Plate]] or [[Z-Crystal| type-specific Z-Crystal]] that it wields. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in terms of shape and coloration.

According to legend, it shaped the Pokémon universe using its 1000 arms. Arceus has been refer to as ''The Original One'' in myths and legends. Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[lake guardians]] {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}; and the [[creation trio]] {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Because of this, Arceus is thought to be one of the most long-lived of all Pokémon species. It has the power to recreate the creation trio as well, presumably to guard the dimensions when a Trainer has caught one of them. In the anime, Arceus has been portrayed as having powers such as bringing back things that it once destroyed, making certain things vanish into thin air, halting time, and overturn the very laws of nature. Arceus also has the power to not only calm {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} but also destroy the [[Red Chain]] as seen in [[JN090|anime]]. In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] it is capable of [[time travel]]. Arceus can change its type at will in order to adapt to a situation and can even use the power of all 17 [[Plate]]s at once as seen with the Legend Plate. Arceus also has the power to create a piece of itself to exist outside of its home dimension which is just as powerful as the original.

Arceus is shown to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times and protected it from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion in return to those who treated it with equal kindness. In the modern time, Arceus continues to watch over the world, and it wishes for people and Pokémon to work together in face of adversity. Even when it is needed, it would only give out hints for how to solve the problem, instead of directly interfering. In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] it is explained that Arceus can give its blessing to Pokémon to make them more powerful, which are referred to as [[Noble Pokémon]] and the power is passed down through family lines. The people of [[Hisui]] worshiped the Noble Pokémon. Arceus can also create items for humans to use such as the [[Arc Phone]] and [[Celestica Flute]]. Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates. It is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Judgment}}.

In the introduction sequence of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] Arceus is shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of human speech]], and it states that Arceus is simply the name humans call it. The ancient inhabitants of the [[Hisui]] region who worshiped it referred to it as almighty Sinnoh.

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

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

The Alpha Pokémon and the Lake Trio appeared in a vision to {{Ash}}, [[Dawn (anime)|Dawn]], and [[Goh]] in [[JNS01]] to warn them about an upcoming disaster. Reacting to the rising power of [[Flame Plate]], Arceus in [[JNS02]] dispatched the Lake Trio to help the team. In [[JNS03]], Arceus appeared at the [[Spear Pillar]] after Ash and his friends were unable to prevent the berserk Heatran's advance, and unleashed {{m|Judgment}}. In [[JNS04]], the move managed to destroy [[Team Galactic]]'s helicopter. After closing the dimensional portal over [[Mount Coronet]], the Pokémon agreed to help Ash save Heatran. Changing it type to water, Arceus created a gigantic mass of water to trap the lava monster. This allowed Ash and his friends to perpetrate the monster's body and rescue Heatran. After the adversity was averted, Arceus and the Lake Trio took their leaves.

====Minor appearances====
Arceus made its main series debut as a silhouette in [[JN090]]. It was called upon by Ash, his friends, their alternate world counterparts, and the people in both of their worlds to help stop {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}'s fight and destroy the [[Red Chain]] that was forcing them to battle.

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

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

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all {{TCG|type}}s but {{TCG|Dragon}} and {{TCG|Fairy}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set.

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

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

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

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearance===
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Arceus appears when [[Dark Matter]] begins trying to take the [[Tree of Life]] to the sun, leading the other Pokémon in attempting to stop its ascent. He is able to telepathically reach the player thanks to {{P|Mewtwo}} and transports them to the Tree of Life's roots to confront Dark Matter. When Dark Matter regenerates itself and sends out a massive shockwave, Arceus and the other legendary Pokémon gathered to stop the Tree of Life are immediately turned to stone. After Dark Matter is defeated, Arceus will remain at the top of [[Destiny Tower (Super Mystery Dungeon)|Destiny Tower]].

Arceus was originally intended to appear in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} in the [[Hall of Origin]] when summoned using an [[event item]] called the [[Azure Flute]]. However, the Azure Flute was never distributed, although the text seen when receiving the 20th Anniversary Arceus states that Arceus could first be obtained in Diamond and Pearl in the Hall of Origin.

==Trivia==

[[File:493-Unknown.png|thumb|???-type Arceus]]
* In the [[Generation IV]] {{pkmn|games}}, there are sprites for ???-type Arceus, but this is not obtainable without [[cheating]], as there is no [[Plate]] for ???-type.
** Due to how its [[Ability]] would automatically turn any Arceus without a Plate into the {{type|Normal}} in Generation IV, a ???-type Arceus hacked into the game will be treated as a Normal type.
* According to the {{pkmn|anime}} [[dub]]'s then-voice director [[Tom Wayland]], the dub chose to pronounce Arceus with {{wp|Hard and soft C|a hard ''c'' instead of a soft ''c''}} due to concerns over the latter pronunciation's potential {{wp|arse|implications}} in British English-speaking territories.
** This pronunciation is also reflected in the name of the {{a|RKS System}} ability.
* Arceus has the highest base stat total of all Normal-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
** Arceus also has the highest base stat total of all [[Mythical Pokémon]].
* Arceus is the only [[trio master]] of two different trios: the [[lake guardians]] and the [[creation trio]].
* In Generation IV (its debut generation), it was impossible to legitimately give Arceus more than 100 [[EV]]s in any stat (without the use of glitches), since it was only ever distributed at [[level]] 100. Prior to Generation V, level 100 Pokémon could not gain EVs through battling because they could not gain [[experience]].
* Arceus is the only pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* Arceus received the most votes of all pre-Generation V Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Arceus|promotion]] poll in both the Japanese poll and the international (non-Japanese and non-Korean) poll.
* Prior to [[Generation VII]], Arceus was classified by Pokédex color sorting as gray.
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Arceus can be encountered without the use of the [[Azure Flute]] by a combination of [[Tweaking]] and the [[Pal Park Retire glitch]]. In addition, Arceus can be encountered an unlimited amount of times with this method, unlike {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as the player can no longer freely move in the "void".
* Arceus is the first Mythical Pokémon to be a game mascot.
* The name of the [[Ability]] {{a|RKS System}} is a reference to Arceus, with its English name being similar to the pronunciation of "Arceus". In {{pmin|Germany|German}}, {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}}, {{pmin|France|French}}, and {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}, its name is instead a reference to Arceus's {{pkmn|category}}, the Alpha Pokémon.
** The company {{DL|Poké Job|List of companies|RKS Laboratories}} (Japanese: '''アルセウス{{tt|製薬|せいやく}}''' ''Arceus Pharma'') in [[Galar]] has a logo similar to the rings on Arceus's body, furthering the connection.
* Despite it being a [[Mythical Pokémon]], Arceus has been sometimes treated as a Legendary Pokémon.
** Arceus is called a Legendary Pokémon by {{mas|Norman}} in the "Challenge the Normal Types" [[Daily Type Rotation]] event of [[Pokémon Masters EX]].
** The official English website of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] used to refer to Arceus as a Legendary Pokémon, which was later corrected to Mythical Pokémon.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/ Pokémon Legends: Arceus]</ref> In the Japanese website, it has been referred to as a Mythical Pokémon from the beginning.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_arceus/ja/pokemon/210818_08/ Pokémon LEGENDS アルセウス]</ref>

===Origin===
Arceus appears to be particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. Arceus's stance and general form are similar to Egyptian bull and calf idols, particularly {{wp|Apis (deity)|Apis}}. Based on its appearance and attack movements in the 3D games, Arceus may be modeled after a {{wp|horse}} or {{wp|qilin}}. The arc on its back may be inspired by the {{wp|Dharmachakra}}, or the {{wp|Bhavacakra}}, used to represent a concept similar to the reincarnation in {{wp|Hinduism}}.

The conception of the first god might be influenced by the {{wp|Shinto}} gods {{wp|Kuninotokotachi}} and {{wp|Amenominakanushi}}, who summoned {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}} to create Japan with the spear. It may also be a reference to the {{wp|qilin}}, a Chinese mythical creature. Its myth is nearly identical to the {{wp|world egg}}, found in creation myths of many cultures and civilizations. Arceus may also represent or be inspired by the {{wp|bodhisattva}} {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}}, who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's Pokédex entry) or in a {{wp|Avalokiteśvara#Tibetan Buddhist beliefs|white, four-armed manifestation}} (which could look similar to Normal-type Arceus).

====Name origin====
Arceus may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:arch-|arch-]]'' (most extreme, highest), ''{{wp|archon}}'' (a Greek word that means "ruler" or "lord"), ''[[wiktionary:arcanus|arcanus]]'' (Latin for ''secret, mystery''), ''archaic'' (ancient), αρχή ''arkhē'' (Greek for ''beginning''), or ''archetypus'' (Latin for ''original''), and ''{{wp|deus}}'' (Latin for ''god''). It may also derive from ''[[wiktionary:aureus|aureus]]'' (golden, in reference to its hooves and wheel), ''[[wiktionary:arc|arc]]'' (round or ring), ''arcessere'' (Latin for ''to summon''), or ''{{wp|Archeus}}'' (an aspect of the astral plane). It may also be a reference to Arcesius, the king of Ithaca mentioned in the Odyssey that was a son of Zeus.

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

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Arceus will {{form|Arceus|change type}} when it is holding a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].

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

Arceus is known as "The Original One", as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[creation trio]].

It is the [[trio master]] of both the lake guardians and the creation trio.

Arceus is featured prominently in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

==Biology==
Arceus is a white equine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a {{wp|qilin}} or {{wp|centaur}} with a gray, vertically-striated underside. The striated pattern has similar recurrences on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. Arceus also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on its current type, which depends on the [[Plate]] or [[Z-Crystal| type-specific Z-Crystal]] that it wields. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in terms of shape and coloration.

According to legend, it shaped the Pokémon universe using its 1000 arms. Arceus has been refer to as ''The Original One'' in myths and legends. Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[lake guardians]] {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}; and the [[creation trio]] {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Because of this, Arceus is thought to be one of the most long-lived of all Pokémon species. It has the power to recreate the creation trio as well, presumably to guard the dimensions when a Trainer has caught one of them. In the anime, Arceus has been portrayed as having powers such as bringing back things that it once destroyed, making certain things vanish into thin air, halting time, and overturn the very laws of nature. Arceus also has the power to not only calm {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} but also destroy the [[Red Chain]] as seen in [[JN090|anime]]. In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] it is capable of [[time travel]]. Arceus can change its type at will in order to adapt to a situation and can even use the power of all 17 [[Plate]]s at once as seen with the Legend Plate. Arceus also has the power to create a piece of itself to exist outside of its home dimension which is just as powerful as the original.

Arceus is shown to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times and protected it from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion in return to those who treated it with equal kindness. In the modern time, Arceus continues to watch over the world, and it wishes for people and Pokémon to work together in face of adversity. Even when it is needed, it would only give out hints for how to solve the problem, instead of directly interfering. In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] it is explained that Arceus can give its blessing to Pokémon to make them more powerful, which are referred to as [[Noble Pokémon]] and the power is passed down through family lines. The people of [[Hisui]] worshiped the Noble Pokémon. Arceus can also create items for humans to use such as the [[Arc Phone]] and [[Celestica Flute]]. Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates. It is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Judgment}}.

In the introduction sequence of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] Arceus is shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of human speech]], and it states that Arceus is simply the name humans call it. The ancient inhabitants of the [[Hisui]] region who worshiped it referred to it as almighty Sinnoh.

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

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

====Minor appearances====
Arceus made its main series debut as a silhouette in [[JN090]]. It was called upon by Ash, his friends, their alternate world counterparts, and the people in both of their worlds to help stop {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}'s fight and destroy the [[Red Chain]] that was forcing them to battle.

===Movie adaptations===
Arceus appears as a central character in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga adaptation, reprising its role from the {{pkmn|movie}}. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michina Town]] rich and fertile. Damos then "betrayed" Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

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

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all {{TCG|type}}s but {{TCG|Dragon}} and {{TCG|Fairy}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set.

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

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

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

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearance===
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Arceus appears when [[Dark Matter]] begins trying to take the [[Tree of Life]] to the sun, leading the other Pokémon in attempting to stop its ascent. He is able to telepathically reach the player thanks to {{P|Mewtwo}} and transports them to the Tree of Life's roots to confront Dark Matter. When Dark Matter regenerates itself and sends out a massive shockwave, Arceus and the other legendary Pokémon gathered to stop the Tree of Life are immediately turned to stone. After Dark Matter is defeated, Arceus will remain at the top of [[Destiny Tower (Super Mystery Dungeon)|Destiny Tower]].

Arceus was originally intended to appear in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} in the [[Hall of Origin]] when summoned using an [[event item]] called the [[Azure Flute]]. However, the Azure Flute was never distributed, although the text seen when receiving the 20th Anniversary Arceus states that Arceus could first be obtained in Diamond and Pearl in the Hall of Origin.

Arceus is available in {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

==Trivia==

[[File:493-Unknown.png|thumb|???-type Arceus]]
* In the [[Generation IV]] {{pkmn|games}}, there are sprites for ???-type Arceus, but this is not obtainable without [[cheating]], as there is no [[Plate]] for ???-type.
** Due to how its [[Ability]] would automatically turn any Arceus without a Plate into the {{type|Normal}} in Generation IV, a ???-type Arceus hacked into the game will be treated as a Normal type.
* According to the {{pkmn|anime}} [[dub]]'s then-voice director [[Tom Wayland]], the dub chose to pronounce Arceus with {{wp|Hard and soft C|a hard ''c'' instead of a soft ''c''}} due to concerns over the latter pronunciation's potential {{wp|arse|implications}} in British English-speaking territories.
** This pronunciation is also reflected in the name of the {{a|RKS System}} ability.
* Arceus has the highest base stat total of all Normal-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
** Arceus also has the highest base stat total of all [[Mythical Pokémon]].
* Arceus is the only [[trio master]] of two different trios: the [[lake guardians]] and the [[creation trio]].
* In Generation IV (its debut generation), it was impossible to legitimately give Arceus more than 100 [[EV]]s in any stat (without the use of glitches), since it was only ever distributed at [[level]] 100. Prior to Generation V, level 100 Pokémon could not gain EVs through battling because they could not gain [[experience]].
* Arceus is the only pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* Arceus received the most votes of all pre-Generation V Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Arceus|promotion]] poll in both the Japanese poll and the international (non-Japanese and non-Korean) poll.
* Prior to [[Generation VII]], Arceus was classified by Pokédex color sorting as gray.
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Arceus can be encountered without the use of the [[Azure Flute]] by a combination of [[Tweaking]] and the [[Pal Park Retire glitch]]. In addition, Arceus can be encountered an unlimited amount of times with this method, unlike {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as the player can no longer freely move in the "void".
* Arceus is the first Mythical Pokémon to be a game mascot.
* The name of the [[Ability]] {{a|RKS System}} is a reference to Arceus, with its English name being similar to the pronunciation of "Arceus". In {{pmin|Germany|German}}, {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}}, {{pmin|France|French}}, and {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}, its name is instead a reference to Arceus's {{pkmn|category}}, the Alpha Pokémon.
** The company {{DL|Poké Job|List of companies|RKS Laboratories}} (Japanese: '''アルセウス{{tt|製薬|せいやく}}''' ''Arceus Pharma'') in [[Galar]] has a logo similar to the rings on Arceus's body, furthering the connection.
* Despite it being a [[Mythical Pokémon]], Arceus has been sometimes treated as a Legendary Pokémon.
** Arceus is called a Legendary Pokémon by {{mas|Norman}} in the "Challenge the Normal Types" [[Daily Type Rotation]] event of [[Pokémon Masters EX]].
** The official English website of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] used to refer to Arceus as a Legendary Pokémon, which was later corrected to Mythical Pokémon.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/ Pokémon Legends: Arceus]</ref> In the Japanese website, it has been referred to as a Mythical Pokémon from the beginning.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_arceus/ja/pokemon/210818_08/ Pokémon LEGENDS アルセウス]</ref>

===Origin===
Arceus appears to be particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. Arceus's stance and general form are similar to Egyptian bull and calf idols, particularly {{wp|Apis (deity)|Apis}}. Based on its appearance and attack movements in the 3D games, Arceus may be modeled after a {{wp|horse}} or {{wp|qilin}}. The arc on its back may be inspired by the {{wp|Dharmachakra}}, or the {{wp|Bhavacakra}}, used to represent a concept similar to the reincarnation in {{wp|Hinduism}}.

The conception of the first god might be influenced by the {{wp|Shinto}} gods {{wp|Kuninotokotachi}} and {{wp|Amenominakanushi}}, who summoned {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}} to create Japan with the spear. It may also be a reference to the {{wp|qilin}}, a Chinese mythical creature. Its myth is nearly identical to the {{wp|world egg}}, found in creation myths of many cultures and civilizations. Arceus may also represent or be inspired by the {{wp|bodhisattva}} {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}}, who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's Pokédex entry) or in a {{wp|Avalokiteśvara#Tibetan Buddhist beliefs|white, four-armed manifestation}} (which could look similar to Normal-type Arceus).

====Name origin====
Arceus may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:arch-|arch-]]'' (most extreme, highest), ''{{wp|archon}}'' (a Greek word that means "ruler" or "lord"), ''[[wiktionary:arcanus|arcanus]]'' (Latin for ''secret, mystery''), ''archaic'' (ancient), αρχή ''arkhē'' (Greek for ''beginning''), or ''archetypus'' (Latin for ''original''), and ''{{wp|deus}}'' (Latin for ''god''). It may also derive from ''[[wiktionary:aureus|aureus]]'' (golden, in reference to its hooves and wheel), ''[[wiktionary:arc|arc]]'' (round or ring), ''arcessere'' (Latin for ''to summon''), or ''{{wp|Archeus}}'' (an aspect of the astral plane). It may also be a reference to Arcesius, the king of Ithaca mentioned in the Odyssey that was a son of Zeus.

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached '''{{wp|Vietnam}}''' in the early 2000s. Currently, the license to the Pokémon franchise has been held by GoGo Entertainment Co., a Vietnamese company with 100% Japanese investment, since 2013.

==Pokémon games==
Due to the high popularity of PC gaming, dedicated game consoles are not very popular in Vietnam.The first games in Vietnam were distributed by the Japanese Nintendo division.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080304201947/http://www.nintendo.com/corp/distributors.jsp</ref> Since 2011, the distributor of Nintendo is the Japanese store called nShop.<ref>https://www.nshop.com.vn/</ref>

==Pokémon anime==
===VTV3===
The [[original series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] aired on {{wp|VTV3}}, an official national free-to-watch TV channel in Vietnam, with the name "Pokémon". This version of the anime was a {{wp|voice-over translation}} rather than being [[dub]]bed into Vietnamese.

===Phương Nam Film===
Additionally, another voice-over translation was available of the original and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', released on {{wp|VCD}} by Phương Nam Film. The Japanese version was used for these releases, with character and location names pronounced the same as in Japanese. A variety of sources were used for Pokémon names, including names wholly or partially based on the Japanese names and names translated from the official [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese Pokémon names]]. In this version, the word "Pokémon" itself was translated into "Bửu Bối Thần Kỳ", directly from Chinese. PNF's released ended with [[AG088]]

===HTV3===
In the winter of 2013, {{wp|HTV3}}, a cable channel focused on children and families, created a poll on their website for everyone to vote for programs they would like to see aired on HTV3. HTV3 is well-known for dubbing all of the programs they air on their channel. Pokémon was one of the choices, and within a few weeks, it was announced that HTV3 would air the Pokémon anime for the first time on January 25, 2014. The series began on HTV3 with ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', which currently airs on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 9:30am, with the same episode repeating again at 5:30pm on the same day.

The Vietnamese dub on HTV3 is based directly on the Japanese version. Pokémon and characters are referred by their Japanese names, while [[move]], [[Ability]] and [[item]] names are translated into Vietnamese. Unlike HTV3's other shows, the original Japanese themes are used, rather than themes dubbed in Vietnamese. The songs {{so|Best Wishes!}} and [[Fanfare of the Heart]] are used as the opening and ending themes for the whole series, even after the points which they would have been switched in the Japanese version. Beginning from [[BW070]], a subtitled Vietnamese translation of the lyrics to Fanfare of the Heart began airing with the ending theme.

A controversy arose with fans due to HTV3 re-dubbing many of the Pokémon cries (except for [[Ash's Pikachu]]), despite that the Pokémon names are the same as in the Japanese version.

HTV3's run of the series ended with [[BW108]]. HTV3 also aired nine Pokémon movies from [[M10]] though [[M18]], starting in July 2018.

===VTV2===
''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' began airing on {{wp|VTV2}} on September 28, 2015, with two time slots. Half of an episode (12 minutes) is aired from Monday to Saturday at 17:45 while full episodes (25 minutes) are aired on Saturday and Sunday at 10:40. An official Facebook fan page and YouTube channel were created for fans to discuss and take part in various activities. Weekly games pertaining to the broadcast are held with Pokémon merchandise offered as prizes for the winners. The Vietnamese dub on VTV2 was based on the Japanese version of the series. VTV2's run of the series ended with [[XY093]].

===POPS Kids===
''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' was uploaded to the POPS Kids YouTube channel from October 28, 2017 to April 29, 2018. [[BW055]], [[BW076]], and [[BW077]] were not uploaded to the channel and are skipped in the episode numbering. The Vietnamese dub that aired on HTV3 is used through [[BW108]] including the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]] segments; the dub of the remainder of the series does not include the segments. The season was later transferred to BH Kids channel and removed from POP Kids channel.

''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' began premiering on the POPS Kids app with the [[S20|twentieth season]] airing from May 31, 2018 to July 5, 2018. A few days following its availability in the app, the episodes are made available on their [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdhrcCVXurgJ5RRH4pprOwpy-Ew_piwg6 YouTube channel]. The dub uses footage from the English dub of the series (including the opening theme and background music), while it continues to use Japanese names and terms.

''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' was uploaded to the POPS Kids YouTube channel from August 17, 2018 to February 27, 2019. The Vietnamese dub that aired on VTV2 is used through [[XY093]], while the [[Mega Evolution Specials]] and episodes from [[XY094]] onward that were not previously dubbed are dubbed based on the English dub, including the background music.

The [[original series]] was uploaded to the POPS Kids YouTube channel starting with [[EP001]] on May 17, 2019. Unlike the previous voice-over translations, the series is dubbed into Vietnamese based on the original Japanese version. [[EP096]], [[EP098]], and [[EP099]] were skipped due to copyright restrictions from Japan. [[EP113]] was also skipped for unknown reasons.

''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' premiered on POPS Kids app in 2021.

===BH Kids ===
''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' began to be uploaded on BH Kids YouTube channel in October 2021.

===Voice actors===
:''Note: All names are shown in Eastern order, and the name of the characters are shown in Vietnamese.''
The voice director for the official Vietnamese dub of the Pokémon anime is Nguyễn Anh Tuấn (Võ Ngọc Quyên at Novel Production). The dialogue editing is done by TVM CORP (Ace Media from BW109, and Novel Production from M10 to M18). The visual technical managers for the series are Thanh Mai, Duy Quang, Nhựt Minh, Huy Tú, Tấn Trạng and Quang Minh. The audio technical managers for the series are Minh Khương, Tào Tịch, Kim Long, Quốc Tuân and Phong Nguyên.

{{main|List of Vietnamese Pokémon themes}}
For the [[original series]] on POPS Kids, the original Japanese opening and ending themes are used.

For ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' on POPS Kids, {{so|Best Wishes!}} and [[Fanfare of the Heart]] are used from [[BW001]] to [[BW020]], shown with Vietnamese subtitles and credits in place of the original Japanese lyrics and credits, with the opening additionally being shown with synchronized, romanized subtitles. From [[BW021]] to [[BW052]], the opening is shown in the same manner, but the ending theme is skipped entirely. Starting in [[BW053]], the original Japanese credits and lyrics are shown for both the opening and ending themes.

[[Eternal Friendship]] by Cindy V is used for both the opening and the ending for the VTV2 dub of ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''. For these episodes on POPS Kids, 30 seconds of the song is played over the opening animations of [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub OP 17|Pokémon Theme (Version XY)]] and [[Be a Hero]] at the very beginning of the episode and another 30 seconds are played over the credits from the English dub at the very end of the episode. However, the first eight episodes maintain the original minute-long opening animation with translated credits. The remaining episodes of the series, including [[XYS04]] and episodes from [[XY094]] onward use the opening and ending themes of the English dub.

For ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', the dub retained [[Under The Alolan Sun]], using the opening and ending themes of the English dub.

[[By My Side]] and [[Best Friend]] were used as the ending themes for ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' and ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', respectively.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
Like the video games, there is not currently an official distributor for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in Vietnam. Despite this, some specialty stores import cards from overseas, usually English language cards from {{pmin|the United States}}.

==Pokémon manga==
[[File:Pokémon Adventures VI volume 1 Ed 2.png|thumb|right|200px|''{{tt|Pokémon Đặc Biệt|Pokémon Special}}'' Volume 1 cover (second edition)]]
{{bulbanews|Pokémon Adventures to return to Vietnam}}
[[Pokémon Adventures]] is known as {{tt|Pokémon Đặc Biệt|Pokémon Special}} in Vietnam. In the Vietnamese translation, the trademarked romanizations of Japanese names are used for characters, Pokémon and locations; whereas moves are translated into Vietnamese.

In 2003, Pokémon Adventures was licensed by Kim Đồng Publishing House, one of the largest manga publishers in Vietnam. They published translated versions of {{PAV|1}} through {{PAV|12}}, until the series was discontinued due to Kim Đồng's Japanese partner cancelling their contract. These volumes were published in a left-to-right format with reversed artwork.

In late 2014, Kim Đồng regained the publishing rights to Pokémon Adventures. The first volume was originally projected for a January 2015 release, but was delayed due to changes requested by [[Shogakukan]] and by GoGo Entertainment Co., the company that holds the license to the Pokémon franchise in Vietnam. The new volumes are presented in the original right-to-left reading format. {{PAV|1}} was released on April 6, 2015. {{PAV|2}} was originally scheduled for an April 20 release date, but was delayed due to complaints from readers on vocabulary choices in the translation from the Japanese names to Vietnamese language. It was finally released on August 24, 2015, and subsequent volumes are scheduled to follow every two weeks on Mondays.

Additionally, in the early years of the Pokémon franchise in Vietnam, the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga was translated and published illegally by Kim Đồng with the name "Pokémon". This translation was published in a left-to-right reading format and used transliterations of Japanese proper names for Pokémon, characters and locations. The series was dropped after {{Vol|Pokémon Pocket Monsters|13}}. Kim Đồng and GoGo Entertainment are attempting to license the series for an official re-release in Vietnam, and Volume 1 were re-published on October 11, 2019 under the name Pokémon - Cuộc phiêu lưu của Pippi.

==Pokémon merchandise==
[[File:Pokémon backpack VI.png|thumb|200px|right|A backpack licensed by GoGo Entertainment, featuring Tepig, Pikachu and Snivy]]
In Vietnam, there are two official Pokémon shops in the country - one in Aeon Mall Bình Dương Canary, which held its opening ceremony on November 1, 2014; and one in Aeon Mall Tân Phú Celadon, which had its opening ceremony on January 11, 2015. The shops are operated in collaboration with GoGo Entertainment (which produces licensed items such as t-shirts and school bags), Kid's Kingdom Trading Co. and AEON Vietnam.

In the early years of Pokémon in Vietnam, most of the merchandise available was counterfeit, although some official items were released in the country. Many books were available in Vietnamese, including the [[Pokémon anime novelization series]], quiz books, colouring and activity books, sticker books, and the like. In recent years, some specialty shops have begun importing official merchandise by [[Takara Tomy]], such as toys and figures.

In December 2014, to promote the upcoming re-release of the Pokémon Adventures manga, Kim Đồng Publishing House released a 2015 calendar featuring images from ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' of the Pokémon anime.

==Community==
[http://www.poke-mega.org/ Poke-mega.org], namely Pokémon & Mega Man FC Việt Nam, is one of the first and biggest Pokémon fan sites and forums in Vietnam. They also host content and forums related to the {{wp|Mega Man}} series.

==Events==
To promote the upcoming re-release of the Pokémon Adventures manga, Kim Đồng Publishing House held a contest called {{tt|POKÉMON - TỚ CHỌN CẬU|Pokémon - I Choose You}} from December 25, 2014 through January 21, 2015. Participants wishing to enter had to email a favorite picture from the Pokémon Adventures series, as well as writing about their favourite characters and memories of the manga. 20 winners will be selected — 10 participants whose photos had the most likes/shares on Kim Đồng's Facebook page and 10 winners chosen by the contest organizers. A list of winners has not yet been announced. The 20 winners received a tour of the factory in {{wp|Hanoi}} where the manga is printed. Winners were also to receive a Pokémon figure by [[Takara Tomy]], however, upon the closing of the contest, it was decided that all participants would receive a figure.

Kim Đồng Publishing House hosted an event called {{tt|Selfie cùng Pikachu|Selfie Together with Pikachu}}, which was held in {{wp|Ho Chi Minh City}} on April 5, 2015, the day before Volume 1 was released. Attendees could purchase the volume early and have their photo taken with a Pikachu mascot. Attendees arriving between 8 am and 11 am had the chance to pick up special gift items including Pikachu balloons, paper hats, and stamps. Attendees who emailed their photos with the Pikachu mascot were entered into a special contest on Kim Đồng Publishing House's Facebook page; five winners received a Pokémon figure and a free copy of {{PAV|2}}. The photos had to be submitted on April 5—submissions after this date weren't accepted.

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached '''{{wp|Vietnam}}''' in the early 2000s. Currently, the license to the Pokémon franchise has been held by GoGo Entertainment Co., a Vietnamese company with 100% Japanese investment, since 2013.

==Pokémon games==
Due to the high popularity of PC gaming, dedicated game consoles are not very popular in Vietnam.The first games in Vietnam were distributed by the Japanese Nintendo division.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080304201947/http://www.nintendo.com/corp/distributors.jsp</ref> Since 2011, the distributor of Nintendo is the Japanese store called nShop.<ref>https://www.nshop.com.vn/</ref>

==Pokémon anime==
===VTV3===
The [[original series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] aired on {{wp|VTV3}}, an official national free-to-watch TV channel in Vietnam, with the name "Pokémon". This version of the anime was a {{wp|voice-over translation}} rather than being [[dub]]bed into Vietnamese.

===Phương Nam Film===
Additionally, another voice-over translation was available of the original and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', released on {{wp|VCD}} by Phương Nam Film. The Japanese version was used for these releases, with character and location names pronounced the same as in Japanese. A variety of sources were used for Pokémon names, including names wholly or partially based on the Japanese names and names translated from the official [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese Pokémon names]]. In this version, the word "Pokémon" itself was translated into "Bửu Bối Thần Kỳ", directly from Chinese. PNF's released ended with [[AG088]]

===HTV3===
In the winter of 2013, {{wp|HTV3}}, a cable channel focused on children and families, created a poll on their website for everyone to vote for programs they would like to see aired on HTV3. HTV3 is well-known for dubbing all of the programs they air on their channel. Pokémon was one of the choices, and within a few weeks, it was announced that HTV3 would air the Pokémon anime for the first time on January 25, 2014. The series began on HTV3 with ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', which currently airs on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 9:30am, with the same episode repeating again at 5:30pm on the same day.

The Vietnamese dub on HTV3 is based directly on the Japanese version. Pokémon and characters are referred by their Japanese names, while [[move]], [[Ability]] and [[item]] names are translated into Vietnamese. Unlike HTV3's other shows, the original Japanese themes are used, rather than themes dubbed in Vietnamese. The songs {{so|Best Wishes!}} and [[Fanfare of the Heart]] are used as the opening and ending themes for the whole series, even after the points which they would have been switched in the Japanese version. Beginning from [[BW070]], a subtitled Vietnamese translation of the lyrics to Fanfare of the Heart began airing with the ending theme.

A controversy arose with fans due to HTV3 re-dubbing many of the Pokémon cries (except for [[Ash's Pikachu]]), despite that the Pokémon names are the same as in the Japanese version.

HTV3's run of the series ended with [[BW108]]. HTV3 also aired nine Pokémon movies from [[M10]] though [[M18]], starting in July 2018.

===VTV2===
''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' began airing on {{wp|VTV2}} on September 28, 2015, with two time slots. Half of an episode (12 minutes) is aired from Monday to Saturday at 17:45 while full episodes (25 minutes) are aired on Saturday and Sunday at 10:40. An official Facebook fan page and YouTube channel were created for fans to discuss and take part in various activities. Weekly games pertaining to the broadcast are held with Pokémon merchandise offered as prizes for the winners. The Vietnamese dub on VTV2 was based on the Japanese version of the series. VTV2's run of the series ended with [[XY093]].

===POPS Kids===
''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' was uploaded to the POPS Kids YouTube channel from October 28, 2017 to April 29, 2018. [[BW055]], [[BW076]], and [[BW077]] were not uploaded to the channel and are skipped in the episode numbering. The Vietnamese dub that aired on HTV3 is used through [[BW108]] including the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]] segments; the dub of the remainder of the series does not include the segments. The season was later transferred to BH Kids channel and removed from POP Kids channel.

''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' began premiering on the POPS Kids app with the [[S20|twentieth season]] airing from May 31, 2018 to July 5, 2018. A few days following its availability in the app, the episodes are made available on their [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdhrcCVXurgJ5RRH4pprOwpy-Ew_piwg6 YouTube channel]. The dub uses footage from the English dub of the series (including the opening theme and background music), while it continues to use Japanese names and terms.

''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' was uploaded to the POPS Kids YouTube channel from August 17, 2018 to February 27, 2019. The Vietnamese dub that aired on VTV2 is used through [[XY093]], while the [[Mega Evolution Specials]] and episodes from [[XY094]] onward that were not previously dubbed are dubbed based on the English dub, including the background music.

The [[original series]] was uploaded to the POPS Kids YouTube channel starting with [[EP001]] on May 17, 2019. Unlike the previous voice-over translations, the series is dubbed into Vietnamese based on the original Japanese version. [[EP096]], [[EP098]], and [[EP099]] were skipped due to copyright restrictions from Japan. [[EP113]] was also skipped for unknown reasons.

''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' premiered on POPS Kids app in 2021.

===BH Kids ===
''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' began to be uploaded on BH Kids YouTube channel in October.

===Voice actors===
:''Note: All names are shown in Eastern order, and the name of the characters are shown in Vietnamese.''
The voice director for the official Vietnamese dub of the Pokémon anime is Nguyễn Anh Tuấn (Võ Ngọc Quyên at Novel Production). The dialogue editing is done by TVM CORP (Ace Media from BW109, and Novel Production from M10 to M18). The visual technical managers for the series are Thanh Mai, Duy Quang, Nhựt Minh, Huy Tú, Tấn Trạng and Quang Minh. The audio technical managers for the series are Minh Khương, Tào Tịch, Kim Long, Quốc Tuân and Phong Nguyên.

Kim Đồng and GoGo Entertainment are attempting to license the series for an official re-release in Vietnam, and Volume 1 were re-published on October 11, 2019 under the name Pokémon - Cuộc phiêu lưu của Pippi.

==Pokémon merchandise==
[[File:Pokémon backpack VI.png|thumb|200px|right|A backpack licensed by GoGo Entertainment, featuring Tepig, Pikachu and Snivy]]
In Vietnam, there are two official Pokémon shops in the country - one in Aeon Mall Bình Dương Canary, which held its opening ceremony on November 1, 2014; and one in Aeon Mall Tân Phú Celadon, which had its opening ceremony on January 11, 2015. The shops are operated in collaboration with GoGo Entertainment (which produces licensed items such as t-shirts and school bags), Kid's Kingdom Trading Co. and AEON Vietnam.

In the early years of Pokémon in Vietnam, most of the merchandise available was counterfeit, although some official items were released in the country. Many books were available in Vietnamese, including the [[Pokémon anime novelization series]], quiz books, colouring and activity books, sticker books, and the like. In recent years, some specialty shops have begun importing official merchandise by [[Takara Tomy]], such as toys and figures.

In December 2014, to promote the upcoming re-release of the Pokémon Adventures manga, Kim Đồng Publishing House released a 2015 calendar featuring images from ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' of the Pokémon anime.

==Community==
[http://www.poke-mega.org/ Poke-mega.org], namely Pokémon & Mega Man FC Việt Nam, is one of the first and biggest Pokémon fan sites and forums in Vietnam. They also host content and forums related to the {{wp|Mega Man}} series.

==Events==
To promote the upcoming re-release of the Pokémon Adventures manga, Kim Đồng Publishing House held a contest called {{tt|POKÉMON - TỚ CHỌN CẬU|Pokémon - I Choose You}} from December 25, 2014 through January 21, 2015. Participants wishing to enter had to email a favorite picture from the Pokémon Adventures series, as well as writing about their favourite characters and memories of the manga. 20 winners will be selected — 10 participants whose photos had the most likes/shares on Kim Đồng's Facebook page and 10 winners chosen by the contest organizers. A list of winners has not yet been announced. The 20 winners received a tour of the factory in {{wp|Hanoi}} where the manga is printed. Winners were also to receive a Pokémon figure by [[Takara Tomy]], however, upon the closing of the contest, it was decided that all participants would receive a figure.

Kim Đồng Publishing House hosted an event called {{tt|Selfie cùng Pikachu|Selfie Together with Pikachu}}, which was held in {{wp|Ho Chi Minh City}} on April 5, 2015, the day before Volume 1 was released. Attendees could purchase the volume early and have their photo taken with a Pikachu mascot. Attendees arriving between 8 am and 11 am had the chance to pick up special gift items including Pikachu balloons, paper hats, and stamps. Attendees who emailed their photos with the Pikachu mascot were entered into a special contest on Kim Đồng Publishing House's Facebook page; five winners received a Pokémon figure and a free copy of {{PAV|2}}. The photos had to be submitted on April 5—submissions after this date weren't accepted.

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached '''{{wp|Vietnam}}''' in the early 2000s. Currently, the license to the Pokémon franchise has been held by GoGo Entertainment Co., a Vietnamese company with 100% Japanese investment, since 2013.

==Pokémon games==
Due to the high popularity of PC gaming, dedicated game consoles are not very popular in Vietnam.The first games in Vietnam were distributed by the Japanese Nintendo division.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080304201947/http://www.nintendo.com/corp/distributors.jsp</ref> Since 2011, the distributor of Nintendo is the Japanese store called nShop.<ref>https://www.nshop.com.vn/</ref>

==Pokémon anime==
===VTV3===
The [[original series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] aired on {{wp|VTV3}}, an official national free-to-watch TV channel in Vietnam, with the name "Pokémon". This version of the anime was a {{wp|voice-over translation}} rather than being [[dub]]bed into Vietnamese.

===Phương Nam Film===
Additionally, another voice-over translation was available of the original and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', released on {{wp|VCD}} by Phương Nam Film. The Japanese version was used for these releases, with character and location names pronounced the same as in Japanese. A variety of sources were used for Pokémon names, including names wholly or partially based on the Japanese names and names translated from the official [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese Pokémon names]]. In this version, the word "Pokémon" itself was translated into "Bửu Bối Thần Kỳ", directly from Chinese. PNF's released ended with [[AG088]]

===HTV3===
In the winter of 2013, {{wp|HTV3}}, a cable channel focused on children and families, created a poll on their website for everyone to vote for programs they would like to see aired on HTV3. HTV3 is well-known for dubbing all of the programs they air on their channel. Pokémon was one of the choices, and within a few weeks, it was announced that HTV3 would air the Pokémon anime for the first time on January 25, 2014. The series began on HTV3 with ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', which currently airs on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 9:30am, with the same episode repeating again at 5:30pm on the same day.

The Vietnamese dub on HTV3 is based directly on the Japanese version. Pokémon and characters are referred by their Japanese names, while [[move]], [[Ability]] and [[item]] names are translated into Vietnamese. Unlike HTV3's other shows, the original Japanese themes are used, rather than themes dubbed in Vietnamese. The songs {{so|Best Wishes!}} and [[Fanfare of the Heart]] are used as the opening and ending themes for the whole series, even after the points which they would have been switched in the Japanese version. Beginning from [[BW070]], a subtitled Vietnamese translation of the lyrics to Fanfare of the Heart began airing with the ending theme.

A controversy arose with fans due to HTV3 re-dubbing many of the Pokémon cries (except for [[Ash's Pikachu]]), despite that the Pokémon names are the same as in the Japanese version.

HTV3's run of the series ended with [[BW108]]. HTV3 also aired nine Pokémon movies from [[M10]] though [[M18]], starting in July 2018.

===VTV2===
''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' began airing on {{wp|VTV2}} on September 28, 2015, with two time slots. Half of an episode (12 minutes) is aired from Monday to Saturday at 17:45 while full episodes (25 minutes) are aired on Saturday and Sunday at 10:40. An official Facebook fan page and YouTube channel were created for fans to discuss and take part in various activities. Weekly games pertaining to the broadcast are held with Pokémon merchandise offered as prizes for the winners. The Vietnamese dub on VTV2 was based on the Japanese version of the series. VTV2's run of the series ended with [[XY093]].

===POPS Kids===
''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' was uploaded to the POPS Kids YouTube channel from October 28, 2017 to April 29, 2018. [[BW055]], [[BW076]], and [[BW077]] were not uploaded to the channel and are skipped in the episode numbering. The Vietnamese dub that aired on HTV3 is used through [[BW108]] including the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]] segments; the dub of the remainder of the series does not include the segments. The season was later transferred to BH Kids channel and removed from POP Kids channel.

''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' began premiering on the POPS Kids app with the [[S20|twentieth season]] airing from May 31, 2018 to July 5, 2018. A few days following its availability in the app, the episodes are made available on their [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdhrcCVXurgJ5RRH4pprOwpy-Ew_piwg6 YouTube channel]. The dub uses footage from the English dub of the series (including the opening theme and background music), while it continues to use Japanese names and terms.

''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' was uploaded to the POPS Kids YouTube channel from August 17, 2018 to February 27, 2019. The Vietnamese dub that aired on VTV2 is used through [[XY093]], while the [[Mega Evolution Specials]] and episodes from [[XY094]] onward that were not previously dubbed are dubbed based on the English dub, including the background music.

The [[original series]] was uploaded to the POPS Kids YouTube channel starting with [[EP001]] on May 17, 2019. Unlike the previous voice-over translations, the series is dubbed into Vietnamese based on the original Japanese version. [[EP096]], [[EP098]], and [[EP099]] were skipped due to copyright restrictions from Japan. [[EP113]] was also skipped for unknown reasons.

''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' premiered on POPS Kids app in 2021.

===BH Kids ==
''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' began to be uploaded on BH Kids YouTube channel in October.

===Voice actors===
:''Note: All names are shown in Eastern order, and the name of the characters are shown in Vietnamese.''
The voice director for the official Vietnamese dub of the Pokémon anime is Nguyễn Anh Tuấn (Võ Ngọc Quyên at Novel Production). The dialogue editing is done by TVM CORP (Ace Media from BW109, and Novel Production from M10 to M18). The visual technical managers for the series are Thanh Mai, Duy Quang, Nhựt Minh, Huy Tú, Tấn Trạng and Quang Minh. The audio technical managers for the series are Minh Khương, Tào Tịch, Kim Long, Quốc Tuân and Phong Nguyên.

===Music===
{{main|List of Vietnamese Pokémon themes}}
For the [[original series]] on POPS Kids, the original Japanese opening and ending themes are used.

For ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' on POPS Kids, {{so|Best Wishes!}} and [[Fanfare of the Heart]] are used from [[BW001]] to [[BW020]], shown with Vietnamese subtitles and credits in place of the original Japanese lyrics and credits, with the opening additionally being shown with synchronized, romanized subtitles. From [[BW021]] to [[BW052]], the opening is shown in the same manner, but the ending theme is skipped entirely. Starting in [[BW053]], the original Japanese credits and lyrics are shown for both the opening and ending themes.

[[Eternal Friendship]] by Cindy V is used for both the opening and the ending for the VTV2 dub of ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''. For these episodes on POPS Kids, 30 seconds of the song is played over the opening animations of [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub OP 17|Pokémon Theme (Version XY)]] and [[Be a Hero]] at the very beginning of the episode and another 30 seconds are played over the credits from the English dub at the very end of the episode. However, the first eight episodes maintain the original minute-long opening animation with translated credits. The remaining episodes of the series, including [[XYS04]] and episodes from [[XY094]] onward use the opening and ending themes of the English dub.

For ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', the dub retained [[Under The Alolan Sun]], using the opening and ending themes of the English dub.

[[By My Side]] and [[Best Friend]] were used as the ending themes for ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' and ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', respectively.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
Like the video games, there is not currently an official distributor for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in Vietnam. Despite this, some specialty stores import cards from overseas, usually English language cards from {{pmin|the United States}}.

==Pokémon manga==
[[File:Pokémon Adventures VI volume 1 Ed 2.png|thumb|right|200px|''{{tt|Pokémon Đặc Biệt|Pokémon Special}}'' Volume 1 cover (second edition)]]
{{bulbanews|Pokémon Adventures to return to Vietnam}}
[[Pokémon Adventures]] is known as {{tt|Pokémon Đặc Biệt|Pokémon Special}} in Vietnam. In the Vietnamese translation, the trademarked romanizations of Japanese names are used for characters, Pokémon and locations; whereas moves are translated into Vietnamese.

In 2003, Pokémon Adventures was licensed by Kim Đồng Publishing House, one of the largest manga publishers in Vietnam. They published translated versions of {{PAV|1}} through {{PAV|12}}, until the series was discontinued due to Kim Đồng's Japanese partner cancelling their contract. These volumes were published in a left-to-right format with reversed artwork.

In late 2014, Kim Đồng regained the publishing rights to Pokémon Adventures. The first volume was originally projected for a January 2015 release, but was delayed due to changes requested by [[Shogakukan]] and by GoGo Entertainment Co., the company that holds the license to the Pokémon franchise in Vietnam. The new volumes are presented in the original right-to-left reading format. {{PAV|1}} was released on April 6, 2015. {{PAV|2}} was originally scheduled for an April 20 release date, but was delayed due to complaints from readers on vocabulary choices in the translation from the Japanese names to Vietnamese language. It was finally released on August 24, 2015, and subsequent volumes are scheduled to follow every two weeks on Mondays.

Additionally, in the early years of the Pokémon franchise in Vietnam, the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga was translated and published illegally by Kim Đồng with the name "Pokémon". This translation was published in a left-to-right reading format and used transliterations of Japanese proper names for Pokémon, characters and locations. The series was dropped after {{Vol|Pokémon Pocket Monsters|13}}. Kim Đồng and GoGo Entertainment are attempting to license the series for an official re-release in Vietnam, and Volume 1 were re-published on October 11, 2019 under the name Pokémon - Cuộc phiêu lưu của Pippi.

==Pokémon merchandise==

Dynamax

2021-11-23T02:45:23Z

Magicknight94: /* In other languages */

[[File:SwSh Prerelease Dynamax Pikachu.png|thumb|300px|A Dynamaxed {{p|Pikachu}}]]
'''Dynamax''' (Japanese: '''ダイマックス''' ''Daimax'') is a temporary transformation affecting Pokémon that was introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who obtain a [[Dynamax Band]] are able to Dynamax their Pokémon. According to [[Professor Magnolia]], the Pokémon distorts space to change its size while affecting the world around them. This transformation has another special variant known as [[Gigantamax]].

==History==
After its defeat thousands of years ago by {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}, {{p|Eternatus}}'s energy leaked out during its slumber in the form of [[Galar]] particles. This resulted in the creation of {{cat|Power Spots}}, where Trainers can trigger the Dynamax transformation. Some Power Spots had Gym Stadiums built over them, and others in the [[Wild Area]] became [[Pokémon Den]]s, where [[Max Raid Battle]]s take place. Parts of Eternatus's body, known as [[Wishing Star]]s, rained across [[Galar]], allowing whoever found them to Dynamax their Pokémon when at a Power Spot. [[Dynamax Band]]s were later created by [[Oleana]] to help anyone fully utilize the transformation there. Dynamax was later implemented into the [[Galar League]]'s Gym Battles by [[Rose]] who had most of the [[Gym]]s built atop of the {{cat|Power Spots}}<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/story/pokemon-league/</ref>. On the [[Isle of Armor]], [[Max Mushrooms]] and [[Max Honey]] are grown and created exclusively on the island due to the Dynamax phenomenon affecting the flora and {{p|Vespiquen}} producing it.

==Effects==
Dynamaxing increases a Pokémon's size drastically, as well as changing the moves of the Pokémon and doubling their max and current {{stat|HP}} in battle (except for {{p|Shedinja}}), but can only be used once during a battle, and ends after three turns or if the user is switched out. In addition, it can only be performed in areas known to have {{cat|Power Spots}}, such as [[Galar]]'s [[Gym|Gym Stadiums]], [[Master Dojo|Battle Court]], and {{gdis|Battle Tower|VIII}}. When Dynamaxed, all of the Pokémon's [[move]]s will turn into [[Max Move]]s that correspond to those moves' [[type]]s and categories. Like with [[Mega Evolution]], Dynamax is activated at the start of the turn before all other moves are executed. If a Dynamax Pokémon runs out of [[PP]] of one move, it still can be selected but fails; if it is unable to use any moves (e.g., running out of PP), it will use {{m|Struggle}}.

In a [[Max Raid Battle]], the wild Pokémon is a Dynamax Pokémon for the entire duration of the battle. Only one of the Trainers' Pokémon can Dynamax during a Max Raid Battle, and only for the standard three turns. The first Trainer with the chance to Dynamax is the host, with the chance passing to the next player who joined until it returns to the first player.

{{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, and {{p|Eternatus}}, including Pokémon {{m|transform}}ed into one of these, cannot Dynamax.

===Gigantamax===
{{main|Gigantamax}}
If a Pokémon has the Gigantamax Factor, it can undergo Gigantamax, a special kind of Dynamax that results in a different appearance to its regular form in addition to being larger. Only specific individual members of a select group of species can Gigantamax. Each Gigantamax Pokémon has an exclusive Max Move known as a [[G-Max Move]]. Other than having a G-Max Move, Gigantamax is functionally identical to a Dynamax.

===Dynamax Level and HP===
Dynamaxing provides Pokémon with an increase to its maximum and current HP (with the exception of Shedinja) by the same factor. The amount of HP gained depends on the Pokémon's Dynamax Level, which can be increased with [[Dynamax Candy]]. At Dynamax Level 0, a Pokémon will gain 50% more HP. For every Dynamax Level above that, the Pokémon will gain 5% more HP, up to a 100% HP increase at Dynamax Level 10. All other [[stat]]s, as well as its [[Ability]] and [[held item]], remain the same.

Whenever a Pokémon enters into or reverts from Dynamax, its current HP is adjusted to retain the same percentage of HP remaining, the HP will be rounded up to the nearest positive integer. For instance, if a Pokémon at Dynamax Level 10 has 100/200 HP remaining, then upon Dynamaxing, its HP will be adjusted to 200/400. Conversely, if the same Pokémon has 101/400 HP in Dynamax form, then when its dynamax expires its HP will be adjusted down to 50.5/200 then be rounded up to 51/200.

====HP-based effects====
When calculating changes in HP (damage or restoration) based on the percentage of a Pokémon's maximum HP, the Dynamax Pokémon's non-Dynamax HP is used. For example:
* {{m|Super Fang}} inflicts damage to a Dynamax Pokémon equal to 50% of its non-Dynamax HP.
* A held [[Figy Berry]] will restore HP equal to 1/3 of the Dynamax Pokémon's non-Dynamax maximum HP.
* {{m|Endeavor}} inflicts damage equal to the amount that the target's non-Dynamax HP exceeds the user's non-Dynamax HP.
* {{m|Pain Split}} averages the two Pokémon's non-Dynamax HP, calculates the {{wp|Sign (mathematics)|signed}} difference between that average and each Pokémon's non-Dynamax HP, then changes each Pokémon's HP by that signed difference.

Effects that vary based on the percentage of HP a Pokémon has remaining use the Dynamax Pokémon's Dynamax HP. For example:
* {{a|Emergency Exit}} activates when the Dynamax Pokémon's current Dynamax HP falls to 50% or less of its maximum Dynamax HP.
* A Pokémon will consume its held [[Figy Berry]] when its HP falls to 25% or less of its maximum Dynamax HP.
* {{m|Brine}}'s [[power]] is increased if a target Dynamax Pokémon's current Dynamax HP is 50% or less of its maximum Dynamax HP.

The moves {{m|Dynamax Cannon}}, {{m|Behemoth Blade}}, and {{m|Behemoth Bash}} do double damage against a Dynamax Pokémon.

===Immunities===
Dynamax Pokémon are immune to [[flinch]]ing. {{m|Fake Out}} can still damage a Dynamax Pokémon, but will have no secondary effect.

Dynamax Pokémon are unaffected by {{cat|moves affected by weight}} (such as {{m|Low Kick}} and {{m|Heavy Slam}}), [[one-hit knockout move]]s, and {{m|Destiny Bond}}.

Moves and Abilities that replace the target's [[Ability]] with the user's (such as {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{m|Entrainment}}, and {{a|Wandering Spirit}}) have no effect on Dynamax Pokémon. However, moves that {{cat|Ability-changing moves|change or suppress}} the Dynamax Pokémon's Ability altogether (such as {{m|Gastro Acid}} and {{m|Worry Seed}}) still work.

Dynamax Pokémon cannot be switched out by the effects of {{cat|moves that switch the target out}} (like {{m|Roar}} and {{m|Whirlwind}}). {{m|Circle Throw}} and {{m|Dragon Tail}} will still damage Dynamax Pokémon without switching it out. [[Red Card]] also fails to switch out a Dynamax Pokémon, but is still activated and consumed. Dynamax Pokémon can still be forced out by their own Abilities or items, such as {{a|Emergency Exit}} or an [[Eject Button]]. If a Dynamax Pokémon has {{a|Magic Bounce}} and is targeted by {{m|Parting Shot}}, the move will be reflected and force the Dynamax Pokémon to switch out (the owner of the Dynamax Pokémon is still able to choose the Pokémon that it is replaced with).

Dynamax Pokémon cannot be affected by {{m|Disable}} or {{a|Cursed Body}}. A Max Move or G-Max Move can still be used if its base move was disabled prior to Dynamax. Dynamax Pokémon are also immune to {{m|Encore}}, {{m|Torment}}, and {{m|Instruct}}. [[Choice Band]], [[Choice Scarf]], [[Choice Specs]], {{a|Gorilla Tactics}}, and {{a|Sheer Force}} temporarily stop working (including the stat boosts) if the holder is Dynamaxed. However, [[Assault Vest]] still works accordingly and prevents the holder from using [[Max Guard]].

In addition to the above, there are certain moves that will fail if used during a Max Raid Battle, but will work against a Dynamax Pokémon otherwise.
:''See also: [[Max Raid Battle#Battle|Max Raid Battle → Battle]]''

===Effects on Transformed Pokémon===
If {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}} is used against a Dynamax Pokémon, only its base form and base moves will be copied, and the user can Dynamax separately. The Gigantamax Factor, however, is not copied at all; instead, the user can only achieve the standard Dynamax form. Additionally, if a Pokémon incapable of Dynamax (e.g., {{p|Zacian}}) is copied, then the user will not be able to Dynamax afterwards. If a Pokémon attempts to copy a Max Move (e.g., using {{m|Copycat}}), it will copy the base move of that Max Move.

===Move animations===
{{incomplete|section|Move images}}
Unless Behemoth Blade, Behemoth Bash or Dynamax Cannon, or a Max Move is used, all moves used on Dynamax Pokémon have generic animations. These depend on type if the move is a damaging move, but all status moves use one of two different animations: either when the move targets the user (which is only possible for bosses in [[Max Raid Battle]]s), or when the move targets another Pokémon.

==In the anime==
[[File:Goh Raboot Dynamax.png|thumb|250px|Dynamax Raboot in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Dynamaxing was first featured in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', where [[Lance's Gyarados]] was shown Dynamaxing during his battle against [[Leon]] and his {{p|Charizard}} at the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]], which was held at [[Wyndon Stadium]]. Leon [[Gigantamax]]ed his Charizard in response to [[Lance]]'s Dynamax.

In ''[[JN042|Sword and Shield, Slumbering Weald!]]'', {{Ash}} and Leon headed to battle a {{p|Pangoro}} that had started rampaging after spontaneously Dynamaxing, and successfully defeated it in [[JN043|the next episode]]. Later in the same episode, [[Goh]] Dynamaxed his {{TP|Goh|Raboot}} to battle [[Oleana's subordinate]], who had sent out a Gigantamax {{p|Garbodor}} in an attempt to stop Sonia and Goh's investigation into the kings of [[Galar]].

In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', many Pokémon across Galar had Dynamaxed due to the [[Darkest Day]]. Once the event was stopped by Ash and Goh, the Dynamaxed Pokémon returned to normal.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Sword & Shield}}====
A Dynamax Pokémon first appeared in ''[[PASS04|Zap!! A Rising Beam of Light]]'', where [[Henry Sword|Henry]], [[Casey Shield|Casey]], and a pair of {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s battled a Dynamax {{p|Gurdurr}} in a [[Max Raid Battle]]. After defeating him, Henry was able to catch him, add him to his [[party]], and [[nickname]] him Steeler.

Dynamax appeared again [[PASS06]] during Henry's [[Gym]] battle against [[Milo]], where the {{type|Grass}} [[Gym Leader]] Dynamaxed his {{p|Eldegoss}}. Henry responded by doing the same with his [[Lancelot|Sirfetch'd]].

In [[PASS09]], Henry Dynamaxed his [[Twiggy|Thwackey]] during his Gym battle against [[Nessa]].

In [[PASS11]], Casey Dynamaxed her {{p|Arrokuda}} during her Gym battle against [[Kabu]].

In [[PASS13]], Henry Dynamaxed his {{p|Oranguru}} during his Gym battle against [[Allister]].

In [[PASS17]], a Dynamaxed {{p|Dracovish}} was shown in a news article.

[[Marnie]] Dynamaxed her {{p|Scrafty}} during her battle against [[Gordie]]. In the same round, Henry and [[Hop]] Dynamaxed their {{p|Mr. Rime}} and {{p|Pincurchin}} against [[Melony]] in their respective battles.

==In the TCG==
Dynamax is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as {{VMAX}}. It was added as a new mechanic to the game in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion (the {{TCG|Sword}} and {{TCG|Shield}} sets in Japan).

Released along with the first {{TCG|Pokémon V}} cards, '''Pokémon VMAX''' introduce the Dynamax and [[Gigantamax]] mechanics into the Trading Card Game. Pokémon VMAX evolve from their respective Pokémon V, giving them boosted {{TCG|Hit Points}} (so far, the biggest HPs in a Pokémon card) and more powerful attacks. When a VMAX Pokémon is knocked out, the opponent takes three Prize cards instead of one.

So far, all released VMAX Pokémon have one or two attacks and no abilities. While keeping the same layout of Pokémon V, VMAX Pokémon cards have a rainbow background and details on the card's bottom, as well its illustration also fading into the top-most area and having the visual aura of Dynamaxing/Gigantamaxing on the Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Dynamax Battles were inspired by the {{wp|Giant's Causeway}}.<ref>[https://assets.pokemon.com/assets/cms2/pdf/video-game/sword-shield/Galar_Tour_Brochure_US.pdf Galar Tour Brochure]</ref>
* Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus are the only Pokémon to be unable to Dynamax.
* When {{p|Calyrex}} Dynamaxes, instead of the usual red aura that would surround a Dynamaxed or Gigantamaxed Pokémon, it yields off a blue aura. Calyrex is the only Pokémon to do this.

'''No Retreat''' (Japanese: '''はいすいのじん''' ''Last Stand'') is a non-damaging {{type|Fighting}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Falinks}}.

==Effect==
No Retreat raises the user's {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, and {{stat|Speed}} by one stage each. It also prevents the user from [[switching out]] or [[escape|fleeing]], unless the user has Ghost type. No Retreat fails if the user is prevented from switching out or fleeing from No Retreat.

If the user has already been given the "Can't Escape" status by another move such as {{m|Mean Look}}, No Retreat will successfully grant its stat boosts but will not create an additional status line to trap the user again. In this case, using No Retreat multiple times will create multiple boosts.

Holding the item [[Shed Shell]], [[Eject Button]] or [[Red Card]] allows the user of No Retreat to switch out even after using the move.

==Trivia==
* The Japanese, Chinese, and Korean names of this move literally mean "to fight with one's back to the river," an idiom for a desperate last stand. The idiom originated from the historical {{wp|Battle of Jingxing}}, where the now-renowned Chinese general {{wp|Han Xin}} ordered his army to fight with a river at their backs and no way to cross, successfully routing an enemy ten times their number. The move's animation is a reference to this.

'''Sparkling Aria''' (Japanese: '''うたかたのアリア''' ''Bubble Aria'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Water}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VII]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Primarina}}. It can be upgraded to the special [[Z-Move]] {{m|Oceanic Operetta}} by Primarina holding [[Primarium Z]].

==Effect==
Sparkling Aria inflicts damage to all adjacent Pokémon, including allies. If the target was {{status|burn}}ed, the burn is healed. Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Soundproof}}, {{a|Dry Skin}}, {{a|Storm Drain}}, or {{a|Water Absorb}} are not affected by this move. Burned Pokémon are not healed of their burns if the move does not affect them.

If the user is affected by {{m|Throat Chop}}, it will be unable to use this move for two turns.

Sparkling Aria will have its power boosted by 30% when used by a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Punk Rock}}. The damage dealt by Sparkling Aria will also be halved when used against a Pokémon with Punk Rock. If the user is holding a [[Throat Spray]], the [[item]] will be consumed and the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} stat will raise by one stage.

Corrosion (Ability)

}}
'''Corrosion''' (Japanese: '''ふしょく''' ''Corrosion'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation VII]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Salandit}} and {{p|Salazzle}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Corrosion allows the user to inflict {{status|poison}} on any Pokémon regardless of type, allowing them to poison {{t|Poison}} and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. However, the user cannot conventionally poison the target with a [[physical move]] or a [[special move]], and can only be conventionally done with a [[status move]] that inflicts poison.

If a Poison- or Steel-type Pokémon with Corrosion holds a [[Toxic Orb]], it will badly poison itself. A Pokémon with Corrosion can poison Poison-type and Steel-type Pokémon if it uses {{m|Fling}} while holding a Toxic Orb or a [[Poison Barb]].

This Ability has no effect on {{m|Toxic Spikes}}. It does not allow the Pokémon with this Ability to poison a Pokémon with {{a|Immunity}}. Corrosion does not allow the Pokémon with this Ability to damage Steel-type Pokémon with Poison-type moves.

If the Pokémon with this Ability uses a move, and that move gets reflected by the target due to {{m|Magic Coat}} or {{a|Magic Bounce}}, the reflected move will not be able to poison Steel- or Poison-type Pokémon. If a Poison- or Steel-type Pokémon with this Ability poisons a target with {{a|Synchronize}}, Synchronize will not be able to affect the Pokémon with this Ability.

If the Pokémon with this Ability uses {{m|Magic Coat}} to reflect a [[status move]] that inflicts poison, the reflected move will be able to poison Steel- or Poison-type Pokémon.

===Outside of battle===
Corrosion has no effect outside of battle.

'''Leech Seed''' (Japanese: '''やどりぎのタネ''' ''{{wp|Mistletoe}} Seed'') is a non-damaging {{type|Grass}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Leech Seed plants a seed on the target. After a target under the effect of Leech Seed takes its turn, 1/16 of its HP will be drained (rounded down, but not less than 1), and the same amount of HP will be restored to the target's opponent (even if it was not the Pokémon that originally used the attack). Recurrent Leech Seed draining will not occur if the seeded Pokémon defeats the target. Unlike other types of damage, the recurrent damage done by Leech Seed can exceed the target's current HP. Leech Seed will not work against {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, and attempts to seed an already-seeded Pokémon will fail.

Leech Seed draining will occur even if the seeded Pokémon knocks itself out with crash damage, recoil damage, or self-inflicted confusion damage, or by making a {{m|substitute}} before the end of its turn. Draining from Leech Seed is done after continuing partial trapping damage and recurrent poison or burn damage. Leech Seed can be removed by {{m|Haze}} or switching. If the target is seeded during a round that it switches in, it will take recurrent damage during that round, but only if its speed is less than or equal to the user's speed.

If the target of Leech Seed is also under the effect of {{m|Toxic}} (or was under that effect and healed itself with {{m|Rest}}), because Leech Seed and Toxic both use the same damage algorithm, Leech Seed damage will be affected by Toxic's '''N''' parameter, and will increase each turn.

In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] and Japanese Cartridges, Leech Seed will not work against a target with a substitute.

===Generation II===
⅛ of the target's HP is drained instead. {{m|Rapid Spin}} will release a Pokémon from the effects of Leech Seed. Also, Leech Seed no longer interacts with {{m|Toxic}} damage and Haze no longer affects Leech Seed. If a Pokémon uses {{m|Baton Pass}}, Leech Seed will still be in effect, even if the switched in Pokémon is a Grass type. The user can no longer plant a seed on a target with a substitute (but setting up a substitute does not release a Pokémon from existing effects of Leech Seed).

===Generation III onwards===
Leech Seed will now drain HP at the end of each turn.

In battles involving multiple Pokémon, Leech Seed will only heal the Pokémon that is in the same position as the Pokémon that originally used Leech Seed was in. If no Pokémon is in that position (for example, if it fainted and could not be replaced), Leech Seed will not take any health from the seeded Pokémon. However, if a Pokémon is later able to occupy that position (if it was revived), Leech Seed will once again sap HP from the seeded Pokémon. While a Pokémon is seeded, even if it cannot have its health drained due to there being no Pokémon in the appropriate slot to drain its HP, it cannot be affected by Leech Seed again.

Leech Seed can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining an extra two appeal points if {{m|Growth}} was used in the prior turn. It is also part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if {{m|Rototiller}} was used in the prior turn.

If the target has the [[Ability]] {{a|Liquid Ooze}}, the beneficiary Pokémon takes damage instead of restoring HP. If the user is under the effect of {{m|Heal Block}}, Leech Seed will not restore any of the user's HP. However, the effect damage will be dealt normally. If the user has a [[Big Root]] as its held item, it will recover 30% more HP than it normally would. Big Root does not increase damage dealt. All other effects remain the same.

If powered up by a [[Grassium Z]] into Z-Leech Seed, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

Using {{m|Sappy Seed}} will plant a Leech Seed on the target if it hits.

'''Teatime''' (Japanese: '''おちゃかい''' ''Tea Party'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Polteageist}}.

==Effect==
Teatime causes all Pokémon on the field to eat their held [[Berry]].

If a Pokémon has eaten its Berry, Teatime fails to work on that Pokémon. The Berry is eaten even if it would not have any effect, such as eating a [[Mago Berry]] at full health. If no Pokémon on the field has a held Berry, Teatime fails with the message "But nothing happened!". Teatime causes Pokémon to eat their Berries even in the presence of {{a|Unnerve}} or {{m|Magic Room}}. This move does not affect Pokémon under the effect of {{m|Max Guard}}.

Pokémon in the [[semi-invulnerable]] turn of a move are not affected by Teatime. If Teatime has its type changed by {{m|Electrify}} or {{m|Plasma Fists}}, Pokémon with {{a|Volt Absorb}}, {{a|Lightning Rod}} or {{a|Motor Drive}} will not use up their Berries but will instead gain the benefit of the Ability regardless of whether they are holding a Berry or not.

Photon Geyser (move)

'''Photon Geyser''' (Japanese: ''' フォトンゲイザー''' ''Photon Geyser'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. It is one of the [[signature move]]s of {{p|Necrozma}}.

It can be upgraded to the special [[Z-Move]] {{m|Light That Burns the Sky}} by [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Ultra Necrozma]] holding [[Ultranecrozium Z]].

==Effect==
Photon Geyser deals damage. If the user's Attack stat is higher than its Special Attack stat, Photon Geyser becomes a [[physical move]]; otherwise (i.e. if the user's Special Attack is greater than or equal to its Attack) it is a [[special move]]. During the execution of Photon Geyser, all {{cat|ignorable Abilities}} that could affect the success or damage of a move are ignored, except when Photon Geyser is called by {{cat|moves that call other moves|another move}} rather than directly used.

For determining which stat is higher, stat stage-modifiers are taken into account, but other effects (e.g. [[held item]]s such as a [[Choice Band]], Abilities such as {{a|Huge Power}}, {{status|burn}}, etc.) are not.

===Other effects===
Photon Geyser does not exist in the game data of {{g|Sun and Moon}}. As a result, a Pokémon knowing Photon Geyser cannot be traded from Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon to Sun and Moon, and if a Pokémon in [[Pokémon Bank]] knows the move, it cannot be withdrawn in Pokémon Sun and Moon. In order to be transferred to Pokémon Sun and Moon, the Pokémon must forget Photon Geyser.

'''Light That Burns the Sky''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|天焦がす滅亡の光|てんこがすめつぼうのひかり}}''' ''Heaven-Scorching Light of Destruction'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Psychic}} [[Z-Move]] introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. It is the exclusive Z-Move of {{p|Necrozma|Ultra Necrozma}} and an upgraded version of its [[signature move]], {{m|Photon Geyser}}.

==Effect==
===Generation VII===
Light That Burns the Sky compares the user's Attack and Special Attack stats, dealing damage to the target using the higher stat. If the user's Attack is greater than its Special Attack, the move will be a [[physical move]]; if its Special Attack is equal to or greater than its Attack, it will remain a [[special move]]. During the execution of Light That Burns the Sky, all {{cat|ignorable Abilities}} that could affect the success or damage of a move are ignored.

For determining which stat is higher, stat stages are taken into account; however, it does not consider the effects of [[held item]]s (such as a [[Choice Band]]) or {{Abilities}} (such as {{a|Huge Power}}) that do not use stat stages. If the user's Attack is higher, Light That Burns the Sky becomes a physical move in all aspects: the move's damage is affected by {{m|Reflect}} (but not {{m|Light Screen}}), it will activate {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Shell Trap}} (but not {{m|Mirror Coat}}), and it triggers the [[Kee Berry]] (but not the [[Maranga Berry]]). Otherwise, it is treated as a special move in all of these cases.

===Generation VIII===
Light That Burns the Sky cannot be selected in a battle.

Magicknight94: /* Capabilities of Aura */

{{cleanup}}
[[File:Ash Aura.png|thumb|right|250px|{{Ash}} using Aura]]
'''Aura''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|波導|はどう}}''' ''wave-guiding'') is a form of spiritual energy introduced in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. It is described as the essence of every living creature.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lucario movie aura.png|thumb|left|250px|{{OBP|Lucario|M08}} using Aura]]
In the [[Pokémon world]]'s past, there were once [[human]]s that could sense Aura and control its power. These humans, known as Aura Guardians, traveled around doing good deeds and passing on their skills to those who also possessed this innate ability. One famous Aura Guardian was [[Sir Aaron]], who took a {{OBP|Lucario|M08}} as his apprentice and became a hero when he sacrificed himself to stop a war from destroying the area around the [[Tree of Beginning]].

In ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', the group heard the story of how a {{p|Spiritomb}} was sealed away by an Aura Guardian who traveled with a {{p|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} meet an unnaturally strong {{p|Riolu}} [[Aura Sphere Riolu|capable of using]] the move {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Ash demonstrates the ability to sense Riolu's Aura several times over the remainder of the episode and [[DP072|the next]].

In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh]]'', the [[Pokédex]] entry of {{p|Medicham}} reveals that it has the capability to read Aura.
[[File:Riley aura.png|thumb|210px|Riley using Aura to contain an explosion]]
The Aura Guardians disappeared from history, for some undisclosed reason, a long time before the present era. The only humans in the present time known to have the ability to control Aura are [[Riley]] and Ash, though Ash has chosen to continue his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] rather than follow up on the revelation. However, he did follow in the footsteps of both known Aura Guardians by helping Lucario to save the Tree of Beginning and resealing Spiritomb.

In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', it was revealed that Riolu are capable of sensing Aura before they even hatch and are able to react to it. This ability is demonstrated in [[Ash's Riolu]], who, after hatching, ran away from Ash and Goh's room in search of the Aura that it had sensed prior to hatching. When Ash and Pikachu found Riolu battling an {{p|Onix}}, they prepared to help Riolu fight it off. In the process, Ash started emitting the same Aura waves Riolu sensed earlier, driving it to help Pikachu and Ash fight the Onix.

In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', Ash's newly evolved {{AP|Lucario}} contacted its Trainer using its Aura and requested to use {{m|Aura Sphere}} instead of {{m|Vacuum Wave}} while battling [[Rose]].

In [[JN084]], Ash's Lucario's Aura power was enhanced when its trainer received a [[Key Stone]], which [[Korrina (anime)|Korrina]] attributed to their already close bonding. Using its new power, Lucario was able to sense a [[Lucarionite]] on [[Mega Island]]. When Ash and Lucario were separated after arriving on the island, Lucario used Aura to locate the Lucarionite and telepathically guided Ash to the its exact location.

===Capabilities of Aura===

* Ability to read minds and actions of another being.
* Ability to "sense" other Auras and view surroundings even with a blindfold, also allows users to view through some objects. It is shown in ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'' that Aura can be sensed by Riolu that have yet to hatch.
* Projection of one's Aura; such as to create barriers or {{m|Aura Sphere|attacks}}. It can also be used to transfer Aura to others, a method that can be fatal to the user.
* Activation of [[time flower]]s
* Telepathy
[[File:Aura with Key Stone.png|thumb|250px|Ash feeling Lucario's Aura through a Key Stone]]
When used in conjunction with a [[Key Stone]], Aura allows a Trainer and their Pokémon to:
* Locate the matching [[Mega Stone]] even from miles away.
* Create a telepathic vision, in which they can feel each other and anyone inside the other's Aura from faraway.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Aura Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Riley and his Lucario using Aura]]
Aura in [[Pokémon Adventures]] is explained as a wave that can be picked up by people just like sound. Certain Pokémon and humans can pick up this sound, allowing them to see and sense the Auras of others. However, due to the fact that Aura is the same as sound, it can be interrupted by anything that cuts the airspace.

Known users of Aura include Riley and his Pokémon, {{TP|Riley|Lucario}} and {{p|Riolu}}. Riley and {{p|Lucario}} had their Aura abilities blocked by two {{tc|Roughneck}}s that were attacking [[Iron Island]] when they used their {{p|Mothim}} to use {{m|Air Slash}}, cutting up the airspace around it. This prevented Riley and his Pokémon from tracking their Aura, along with blinding their eyes with {{p|Vespiquen}} honey. Once {{adv|Diamond}} defeated the Mothim, thus causing the Aura to be visible again, Riley and Lucario unleashed their wrath upon them.

[[Korrina's Lucario]] is also able to use Aura, using it to prevent [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}} from mind controlling itself and those around it.

====Capabilities of Aura====
* Ability to read minds and actions of another being
* Ability to "sense" other Auras even while blinded
* Ability to track an Aura belonging to a specific person as long as they have a piece of the Aura to track
* Ability to prevent mind control of itself and those around it

===In the Phantom Thief Pokémon 7 manga===
[[File:Aura P7.png|thumb|200px|Lily using Aura]]
Aura is first revealed in ''[[P7-05|Escape From Team Galactic]]'' as a form of energy that all humans and Pokémon emit. While Pokémon like [[Hiori's Lucario]] can naturally sense Aura, there are certain cases when a human can sense it. One known human who can sense Aura is Hiori's sister, {{OBP|Lily|Pokémon 7}}, and it was this ability that [[Team Galactic]] kidnapped her at a young age for their own selfish, evil goals.

A special cloak made by Team Galactic was shown to be able to hide the Aura of the user, preventing them from being tracked.

====Capabilities of Aura====
* Ability to sense other Auras
* Ability to see the Auras of others

===In the Pokémon Try Adventure manga===

==In the games==
[[File:Aura Sphere VIII.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Lucario}} using Aura Sphere]]
===In core series games===
[[File:Spr Pt Riley.png|left|frame|Riley's sprite in Platinum]]
The [[move]] {{m|Aura Sphere}} explicitly uses "aura power" (Japanese: '''{{tt|波導|はどう}}の　{{tt|力|ちから}}''' ''wave-guiding power'') and is in a group of {{cat|aura and pulse moves}} that can be boosted by the [[Ability]] {{a|Mega Launcher}}.

The [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Cutiefly}} state that they have the ability to sense auras. Only the entries for Lucario and {{p|Sylveon}} confirm that the Pokémon make use of aura. During [[Mega Evolution]], Lucario's aura expands and races through its body, with the black streaks on Mega Lucario's body showing where its aura has intermingled with the energy of Mega Evolution.

[[Riley]]'s animation in {{v2|Platinum}} seems to suggest he can use Aura as well, as his hand lights with a blue glow. The {{p|Riolu}} Egg he gives the player is the only available Riolu in the game, and Riley also trains a Lucario.

In {{g|X and Y}}, [[Korrina]] claims that something in the {{player}}'s aura (Japanese: '''{{tt|波動|はどう}}''' ''wave'') is the reason why one of her Lucario feels a bond with them, which drives her to give that Lucario to the player.

===In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
The personality quiz at the beginning of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]] mentions Aura. After answering the quiz, the player's Aura is read, and described as being a particular color, which is determined by the [[Nintendo DS]]'s UI color or MAC address.

===In the Pokémon Colosseum series===
In both {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, a "black aura" surrounds [[Shadow Pokémon]] and can only be seen by a character named [[Rui]], or with a device called an [[Aura Reader]]. These Pokémon are described as "corrupted", and must be [[purification|purified]].

===In the Super Smash Bros. series===
In the Super Smash Bros. series, almost all of {{SSB|Lucario}}'s moves use Aura. In these games, thanks to Aura, the more damage Lucario has, the more powerful its attacks are. In Brawl, when Lucario gets a Smash Ball, it can execute its [[Final Smash]], {{DL|Final Smash|Aura Storm}}. During the attack, Lucario focuses its Aura into a powerful beam that the player controls. During the Subspace Emissary, Lucario used its Aura to see Snake hiding in his box.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, [[Mega Evolution]], Lucario's new Final Smash, maximizes the Aura, which normally requires it to take at least 190% damage.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Lucario combines its previous Final Smashes into one by Mega Evolving into Mega Lucario before using Aura Storm.

==Origin==
In paranormal theory, an {{wp|Aura (paranormal)|aura}} is a field of light said to surround living beings, the color of which is determined by the particular person's disposition. It is often used in artwork to cause objects or people of high importance to stand out. Aura could also be based on the Chinese concept of ''{{wp|qi}}'', which often refers to the life-force existing in all living things.

A '''Key Stone''' (Japanese: '''キーストーン''' ''Key Stone'') is a [[Key Item]] introduced in [[Generation VI]], which is used to allow a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} holding a [[Mega Stone]] to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. It cannot be obtained in [[Generation VIII]].

When the Key Stone is activated, the Pokémon's corresponding Mega Stone reacts to it, starting the Mega Evolution process. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s typically keep their Key Stone inside a personal accessory, such as a [[Mega Ring]], [[Mega Bracelet]], [[Z-Ring]], or [[Z-Power Ring]].

==In the core series games==
===Player characters===
====Pokémon X and Y====
{{main|Mega Ring}}
In {{g|X and Y}}, the player characters hold their Key Stones in a [[Mega Ring]], a large black bracelet that {{ga|Calem}} and {{ga|Serena}} wear on their left wrist.

The possession of one Mega Ring is offered to the player and each of their friends, who have to pick the most deserving out of their group. The selection is quickly whittled down to two people: the player and {{ga|Serena}} or {{ga|Calem}} (depending on the gender of the player). Upon defeating their rival, the player must obtain the {{badge|Rumble}} at the [[Shalour Gym]] and then go to the top of the [[Tower of Mastery]] to receive the ring from [[Korrina]].

After the player has beaten their rival in [[Kiloude City]], [[Professor Sycamore]] will upgrade their Mega Ring at the [[Anistar City|Anistar Sundial]] by having the player touch the sundial. Once upgraded, the player can then find hidden Mega Stones around Kalos from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

====Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire====
{{main|Mega Bracelet}}
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the player characters hold their Key Stones in a [[Mega Bracelet]], a large white bracelet that {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} wear on their left wrist. {{Steven}} gives the Mega Bracelet to the player on [[Southern Island]] after {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}}, holding its respective Mega Stone, joins the player.

The player character also wears a special Mega Bracelet during {{pkmn|Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars}}, Brendan's being a '''Mega Cuff''', a black band with a circle of large, connected red diamonds affixed to it, with the Key Stone embedded in the band, while May's is a '''Mega Charm''', a chain of cream bows with the Key Stone embedded into a pink heart charm.

{{tc|Secret Base Trainer}} avatars of player characters that have a Mega Bracelet will use it in battle if possible.

====Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon====
In [[Generation VII]], after becoming the {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player receives a '''Key Stone''' from [[Sina]] and [[Dexio]] at [[Ancient Poni Path]]{{sup/7|SM}}/[[Poni Plains]]{{sup/7|USUM}} after defeating Dexio. They hold their Key Stone in their [[Z-Ring]]{{sup/7|SM}} or [[Z-Power Ring]]{{sup/7|USUM}}.

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player receives a '''Key Stone''' from {{ga|Blue}} at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in [[Pallet Town]] after earning seven [[Badge]]s and meeting {{ga|Trace}} in front of the [[Viridian Gym]]. They do not hold it in any accessory and it does not show up on the player's models.

===Non-player characters===
Many non-player characters keep their Key Stones in special items, many of which differ from the items that the player can use.

====Pokémon X and Y====
* [[Lysandre]]'s '''Mega Ring''' (Japanese: '''メガリング''' ''Mega Ring'') takes the form of a silver ring that he wears on the middle finger of his left hand.
* [[Korrina]] uses a '''Mega Glove''' (Japanese: '''メガグローブ''' ''Mega Glove''), which is a white glove she wears on her left hand.
* [[Diantha]] uses a '''Mega Charm''' (Japanese: '''メガチャーム''' ''Mega Charm''), which is a gold pendant she wears on her neck.

===Pokémon Adventures===
====History====
[[File:Mega Ring Adventures.png|230px|thumb|A Mega Ring in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
====={{chap|X & Y}}=====
{{adv|X}} was given a [[Mega Ring]] with a Key Stone inside from [[Gurkinn]] as a child. With it, he can Mega Evolve his [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], [[Salamè]], [[Élec]], {{p|Gengar|Garma}}, and {{p|Pinsir|Rute}}, into {{me|Kangaskhan}}, Mega Charizard X, Mega Manectric, Mega Gengar, and Mega Pinsir, respectively.

Those taught by Gurkinn, the Mega Evolution guru, tend to use Mega Gloves. This includes [[Korrina]], three unnamed students, and Gurkinn himself. Gurkinn stated that he gave Key Stones to 16 people through a Mega Evolution successor ceremony, with X being the sole exception. He later gave his Key Stone to {{adv|Y}}, thus making her a successor as well.

At Lysandre Café in [[Lumiose City]], Diantha shields Y and her friends from Lysandre's Pokémon by using her Mega Charm to Mega Evolve her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} into Mega Gardevoir.

Lysandre later obtains a Mega Ring from Malva outfitted with a Key Stone stolen from Korrina.

At the [[Lost Hotel]], {{adv|Y}} is made a Mega Evolution successor by Gurkinn. She is given a Mega Ring outfitted with the Key Stone from Gurkinn's Mega Glove. With it, she can Mega Evolve her {{p|Absol|Solsol}} into Mega Absol.

{{adv|Blue}} is later revealed to be a successor as well, keeping his Key Stone on a ring. When not in use, Blue wears the ring around his neck as a pendant. With it, he can Mega Evolve his {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} into Mega Charizard Y.

[[Blaine]] later appears at the [[Pokémon Village]], revealed to have reunited with {{adv|Mewtwo}}. He had gained a Key Stone sometime prior and placed it in his cane, using it to Mega Evolve Mewtwo into either Mega Mewtwo Y or Mega Mewtwo X.

[[File:Mega Bracelet Adventures.png|230px|thumb|Mega Bracelets in Pokémon Adventures]]
====={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
{{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} acquired [[Mega Bracelet]]s from [[Ultima]] and {{Steven}} in preparation for another disaster coming to Hoenn. In ''[[PAORAS02|Omega Alpha Adventure 2]]'', Ruby successfully used his Mega Bracelet and {{p|Latios}}'s Latiosite to Mega Evolve the Eon Pokémon and [[Soaring in the sky|soar]] with it to the [[Sky Pillar]].

Many members of the [[Draconid people]] possess Key Stones, such as Zinnia, [[Renza]], [[Jinga]], [[Tomatoma]], and the [[Elder (Meteor Village)|Meteor Village Elder]]. While Zinnia keeps her Key Stone in her Mega Anklet, Renza, Jinga, and Tomatoma keep theirs in arm bands, similar to Zinnia's anklet, while the Elder keeps hers in a walking cane. When battling Ruby and Sapphire, Zinnia wears a second Mega Anklet that originally belonged to [[Aster]].

In ''[[PAORAS06|Omega Alpha Adventure 6]]'', {{Steven}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} into Mega Metagross with his Mega Stickpin. In ''[[PAORAS20|Omega Alpha Adventure 20]]'', he reveals that he is a Mega Evolution successor, having obtained the Key Stone from Gurkinn. He later gives Zinnia a jar of Key Stones belonging to Aster that were taken from the [[Embedded Tower]].

In ''[[PAORAS11|Omega Alpha Adventure 11]]'', [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] used their Mega Glasses and Mega Anchor to Mega Evolve their {{p|Camerupt}} and {{p|Sharpedo}} respectively. After Maxie and Archie disappeared from exhausting the energy keeping their bodies stable, [[Blaise]] and {{adv|Amber}} took their Key Stones and Mega-Evolving Pokémon.

When battling against Maxie and Archie, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} used rings with patterns similar to the Mega Bracelets to Mega Evolve [[Saur]] and [[Blasty]] respectively to battle them. Though their rings resemble the one owned by Blue, it is unknown where they received them.

In ''[[PAORAS20|Omega Alpha Adventure 20]]'', {{adv|Giovanni}} reveals he has a Key Stone placed in the "R" of his chest pocket. With it, he can Mega Evolve his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}}.

In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Ruby used his Mega Cuff to Mega Evolve {{p|Diancie}} for a {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Appeal]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Bag unknown Sprite.png|thumb]]
* The Key Stone items used by NPCs [[List of unobtainable items|exist within the data]] of [[Pokémon X and Y]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. They have a sprite (a white question mark), but cannot be obtained in normal gameplay. They were programmed into the game because if not, NPCs wouldn't be able to Mega Evolve their Pokémon.
* In [[Generation VI]], before battle with a non-player character that can use Mega Evolution, the Key Stone accessory is often shown off. For Trainers that use VS sprites (such as [[Korrina]] and [[Diantha]]), often the Key Stone is clearly visible in the zoomed-in VS sprite. For Trainers that use 3D models (such as [[Lysandre]] and [[Zinnia]]), the camera often starts by focusing on the Key Stone before zooming out to show the full body. Some Trainers, such as {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} and {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}, have the Key Stone accessory visible on their 3D model, but it is not focused on. However, other Trainers, such as [[Courtney]], [[Matt]] and the [[Hoenn]] [[Elite Four]], do not have visible Key Stones at all. {{tc|Secret Base Trainer}}s have no visible indication of possessing a Key Stone.

Aura

2021-10-23T11:15:42Z

Magicknight94: /* In the anime */

{{cleanup}}
[[File:Ash Aura.png|thumb|right|250px|{{Ash}} using Aura]]
'''Aura''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|波導|はどう}}''' ''wave-guiding'') is a form of spiritual energy introduced in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. It is described as the essence of every living creature.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lucario movie aura.png|thumb|left|250px|{{OBP|Lucario|M08}} using Aura]]
In the [[Pokémon world]]'s past, there were once [[human]]s that could sense Aura and control its power. These humans, known as Aura Guardians, traveled around doing good deeds and passing on their skills to those who also possessed this innate ability. One famous Aura Guardian was [[Sir Aaron]], who took a {{OBP|Lucario|M08}} as his apprentice and became a hero when he sacrificed himself to stop a war from destroying the area around the [[Tree of Beginning]].

In ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', the group heard the story of how a {{p|Spiritomb}} was sealed away by an Aura Guardian who traveled with a {{p|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} meet an unnaturally strong {{p|Riolu}} [[Aura Sphere Riolu|capable of using]] the move {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Ash demonstrates the ability to sense Riolu's Aura several times over the remainder of the episode and [[DP072|the next]].

In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh]]'', the [[Pokédex]] entry of {{p|Medicham}} reveals that it has the capability to read Aura.
[[File:Riley aura.png|thumb|210px|Riley using Aura to contain an explosion]]
The Aura Guardians disappeared from history, for some undisclosed reason, a long time before the present era. The only humans in the present time known to have the ability to control Aura are [[Riley]] and Ash, though Ash has chosen to continue his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] rather than follow up on the revelation. However, he did follow in the footsteps of both known Aura Guardians by helping Lucario to save the Tree of Beginning and resealing Spiritomb.

In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', it was revealed that Riolu are capable of sensing Aura before they even hatch and are able to react to it. This ability is demonstrated in [[Ash's Riolu]], who, after hatching, ran away from Ash and Goh's room in search of the Aura that it had sensed prior to hatching. When Ash and Pikachu found Riolu battling an {{p|Onix}}, they prepared to help Riolu fight it off. In the process, Ash started emitting the same Aura waves Riolu sensed earlier, driving it to help Pikachu and Ash fight the Onix.

In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', Ash's newly evolved {{AP|Lucario}} contacted its Trainer using its Aura and requested to use {{m|Aura Sphere}} instead of {{m|Vacuum Wave}} while battling [[Rose]].

In [[JN084]], Ash's Lucario's Aura power was enhanced when its trainer received a [[Key Stone]], which [[Korrina (anime)|Korrina]] attributed to their already close bonding. Using its new power, Lucario was able to sense a [[Lucarionite]] on [[Mega Island]]. When Ash and Lucario were separated after arriving on the island, Lucario used Aura to locate the Lucarionite and telepathically guided Ash to the its exact location.

===Capabilities of Aura===

* Ability to read minds and actions of another being.
* Ability to "sense" other Auras and view surroundings even with a blindfold, also allows users to view through some objects. It is shown in ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'' that Aura can be sensed by Riolu that have yet to hatch.
* Projection of one's Aura; such as to create barriers or {{m|Aura Sphere|attacks}}. It can also be used to transfer Aura to others, a method that can be fatal to the user.
* Activation of [[time flower]]s
* Telepathy
[[File:Aura with Key Stone.png|thumb|250px|Ash feeling Lucario's Aura through a Key Stone]]
When used in conjunction with a [[Key Stone]], Aura allows a trainer and their Pokémon to:
* Locate the matching [[Mega Stone]] even from miles away.
* Create a telepathic vision, in which they can feel each other and anyone inside the other's Aura from faraway.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Aura Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Riley and his Lucario using Aura]]
Aura in [[Pokémon Adventures]] is explained as a wave that can be picked up by people just like sound. Certain Pokémon and humans can pick up this sound, allowing them to see and sense the Auras of others. However, due to the fact that Aura is the same as sound, it can be interrupted by anything that cuts the airspace.

Known users of Aura include Riley and his Pokémon, {{TP|Riley|Lucario}} and {{p|Riolu}}. Riley and {{p|Lucario}} had their Aura abilities blocked by two {{tc|Roughneck}}s that were attacking [[Iron Island]] when they used their {{p|Mothim}} to use {{m|Air Slash}}, cutting up the airspace around it. This prevented Riley and his Pokémon from tracking their Aura, along with blinding their eyes with {{p|Vespiquen}} honey. Once {{adv|Diamond}} defeated the Mothim, thus causing the Aura to be visible again, Riley and Lucario unleashed their wrath upon them.

[[Korrina's Lucario]] is also able to use Aura, using it to prevent [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}} from mind controlling itself and those around it.

====Capabilities of Aura====
* Ability to read minds and actions of another being
* Ability to "sense" other Auras even while blinded
* Ability to track an Aura belonging to a specific person as long as they have a piece of the Aura to track
* Ability to prevent mind control of itself and those around it

===In the Phantom Thief Pokémon 7 manga===
[[File:Aura P7.png|thumb|200px|Lily using Aura]]
Aura is first revealed in ''[[P7-05|Escape From Team Galactic]]'' as a form of energy that all humans and Pokémon emit. While Pokémon like [[Hiori's Lucario]] can naturally sense Aura, there are certain cases when a human can sense it. One known human who can sense Aura is Hiori's sister, {{OBP|Lily|Pokémon 7}}, and it was this ability that [[Team Galactic]] kidnapped her at a young age for their own selfish, evil goals.

A special cloak made by Team Galactic was shown to be able to hide the Aura of the user, preventing them from being tracked.

====Capabilities of Aura====
* Ability to sense other Auras
* Ability to see the Auras of others

The [[move]] {{m|Aura Sphere}} explicitly uses "aura power" (Japanese: '''{{tt|波導|はどう}}の　{{tt|力|ちから}}''' ''wave-guiding power'') and is in a group of {{cat|aura and pulse moves}} that can be boosted by the [[Ability]] {{a|Mega Launcher}}.

The [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Cutiefly}} state that they have the ability to sense auras. Only the entries for Lucario and {{p|Sylveon}} confirm that the Pokémon make use of aura. During [[Mega Evolution]], Lucario's aura expands and races through its body, with the black streaks on Mega Lucario's body showing where its aura has intermingled with the energy of Mega Evolution.

[[Riley]]'s animation in {{v2|Platinum}} seems to suggest he can use Aura as well, as his hand lights with a blue glow. The {{p|Riolu}} Egg he gives the player is the only available Riolu in the game, and Riley also trains a Lucario.

In {{g|X and Y}}, [[Korrina]] claims that something in the {{player}}'s aura (Japanese: '''{{tt|波動|はどう}}''' ''wave'') is the reason why one of her Lucario feels a bond with them, which drives her to give that Lucario to the player.

===In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
The personality quiz at the beginning of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]] mentions Aura. After answering the quiz, the player's Aura is read, and described as being a particular color, which is determined by the [[Nintendo DS]]'s UI color or MAC address.

===In the Pokémon Colosseum series===
In both {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, a "black aura" surrounds [[Shadow Pokémon]] and can only be seen by a character named [[Rui]], or with a device called an [[Aura Reader]]. These Pokémon are described as "corrupted", and must be [[purification|purified]].

===In the Super Smash Bros. series===
In the Super Smash Bros. series, almost all of {{SSB|Lucario}}'s moves use Aura. In these games, thanks to Aura, the more damage Lucario has, the more powerful its attacks are. In Brawl, when Lucario gets a Smash Ball, it can execute its [[Final Smash]], {{DL|Final Smash|Aura Storm}}. During the attack, Lucario focuses its Aura into a powerful beam that the player controls. During the Subspace Emissary, Lucario used its Aura to see Snake hiding in his box.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, [[Mega Evolution]], Lucario's new Final Smash, maximizes the Aura, which normally requires it to take at least 190% damage.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Lucario combines its previous Final Smashes into one by Mega Evolving into Mega Lucario before using Aura Storm.

==Origin==
In paranormal theory, an {{wp|Aura (paranormal)|aura}} is a field of light said to surround living beings, the color of which is determined by the particular person's disposition. It is often used in artwork to cause objects or people of high importance to stand out. Aura could also be based on the Chinese concept of ''{{wp|qi}}'', which often refers to the life-force existing in all living things.

'''Professor Kukui''' (Japanese: '''ククイ博士''' ''Dr. Kukui'') is a major supporting character of the [[Pokémon anime]], who appeared in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''. He is a [[Pokémon Professor]] in the [[Alola]] [[region]] and a teacher at the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]]. He is also the true identity of '''The Masked Royal''' (Japanese: '''ロイヤルマスク''' ''Royal Mask'').

==History==
===Pre-series===
[[File:Professor Kukui young anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Professor Kukui at the age of five]]
Since his childhood, Kukui had been a fan of Pokémon [[move]]s, often observing [[Hala]]'s {{pkmn|battle}}s to witness these attacks in action. He would follow the matches along with his Move Index guidebook. At some point, he befriended and later obtained a {{TP|Professor Kukui|Litten}}, which originally belonged to his parents. The pair would often spend time in the forests of [[Melemele Island]] playing with all of the [[wild Pokémon]]. He also befriended a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Trevenant}} living in the forests and received a [[Firium Z]] after helping to relieve it of its sneezing. In addition, he is a childhood friend of [[Molayne]] and [[DJ Leo]].

[[SM125|At the age of five]], he met {{Ash}}, whom a {{OBP|Celebi|recurring}} had accidentally [[time travel|sent into the past]]. Due to Ash's mastery of [[Z-Move]]s, he started calling him the "Move [[Island Kahuna|Kahuna]]" (Japanese: '''ワザキング''' ''Move King'') and asked to battle with him. Ash easily won the battle and taught the young Kukui, whom he started calling "Roarie" (Japanese: '''ガオ''' ''Gao'') due to his {{p|Incineroar}} cap, that there was no shame in losing. He then proceeded to tell Kukui about his [[Gym]] and [[Pokémon League]] battles in other [[region]]s, inspiring Kukui's own ambitions. Soon, Ash was transported back to the present by Celebi, leaving both young boys unaware of each other's real names.

In ''[[SM128|League Offenders and Defenders!]]'', Hala revealed that Kukui and [[Guzma]] were once his apprentices. However, the two had a falling-out after Guzma expressed beliefs that [[Z-Ring]]s and [[Z-Move]]s were pointless. While Guzma abandoned his training and established [[Team Skull]], Kukui continued to study under Hala.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''===
Professor Kukui debuted in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''. He was first seen entering his classroom, where he was introduced to Ash, apparently not recognizing him from his youth. He later watched as Ash battled [[Team Skull]] and was impressed by his battling skills. After Team Skull's defeat, he told Ash about Z-Moves and the [[island challenge]]. Following Ash's decision to attend the [[Pokémon School]], he allowed Ash to live with him during his stay in [[Alola]]. At the end of [[SM002|the next episode]], he handed Ash a new [[Pokédex]], which [[SM003|then]] got inhabited by a {{Rotom}}.

In ''[[SM015|Rocking Clawmark Hill!]]'', he and Ash returned home one night, only to notice the absence of {{AP|Rockruff}}. Rockruff soon returned injured, prompting Kukui to heal it with a [[Potion]]. Upon further investigation, they found out that it had been training on [[Clawmark Hill]]. After watching Ash train Rockruff, Kukui noticed the bond they had developed and encouraged Ash to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Rockruff.

In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', Kukui accompanied his students and [[Samson Oak]] to [[Kanto]] for an extracurricular activity, where they visited [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. In the [[SM043|following episode]], he and the others traveled to the [[Cerulean Gym]], where his students battled {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}. Seeing these battles inspired him to realize his childhood dream an official Pokémon League in Alola.

In ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'', Kukui told Ash about {{an|Professor Burnet}} and her research on [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. He later introduced her to him when she, along with {{an|Lusamine}}, {{an|Faba}}, and [[Wicke]], visited his home to meet Ash and {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Solgaleo|Nebby}}. During his class's sleepover in ''[[SM048|A Dream Encounter!]]'', Kukui began to bond with Burnet, who also stayed over at his house.

In ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'', Kukui accompanied his students to the [[Altar of the Sunne]] on [[Poni Island]] to catch up with {{an|Lillie}}, who had run away from home with her brother, {{an|Gladion}}, in search of a way to save Lusamine, who had been abducted by a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}}. [[SM052|Later]], while watching Alola's [[guardian deities]] bless Nebby, he received a phone call for help from Professor Burnet and left to help her out. He soon witnessed Burnet and her {{p|Munchlax}} being surrounded by a group of {{p|Jangmo-o}} and {{p|Hakamo-o}}, but using his {{p|Braviary}} he was able to drive the Scaly Pokémon off. By the time the two professors returned to the altar though, Ash and the others had already ridden off on Nebby into an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. Kukui and Burnet stayed behind and waited until the group [[SM054|finally]] returned with Lusamine.
[[File:Professor Kukui Burnet Wedding Outfits.png|thumb|250px|Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet about to get married]]
In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', during a walk on the beach with Burnet, Kukui proposed to her. A few days later, the wedding ceremony, which was arranged by his students, was held on the beach outside his house. Since their marriage, Burnet has moved in with Kukui and Ash.

[[File:Masked Royal anime.png|thumb|left|250px|As the Masked Royal]]
Kukui's alter-ego, the Masked Royal, debuted in ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]''. When Ash and {{ashcl}} visited the [[Battle Royal Dome]], Ash's {{p|Litten}} got agitated upon seeing Royal's {{TP|Professor Kukui|Incineroar}}. This prompted him to invite Ash, along with {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Sophocles}}, to take part in a [[Battle Royal]], which the Masked Royal easily won. Days later, after seeing Litten training to master {{m|Flame Charge}}, Kukui, dressed up again as the Masked Royal, showed up to have a one-on-one battle with Ash. During the battle, Litten evolved into {{AP|Torracat}} and was able to perfect Flame Charge. Despite this, however, the battle ended in the Masked Royal's victory. Afterwards, the Masked Royal declared that he and Incineroar were now Torracat's rivals.

The Masked Royal reappeared in ''[[SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!]]'', where he faced a member of the [[Revengers]], [[Mr. Electric]], and his {{p|Electivire}} in a Battle Royal. However, due to interference [[Mad Magmar]]'s {{p|Magmortar}}, Mr. Electric was disqualified. The Masked Royal then got challenged by Mad Magmar to a battle for the title of the strongest fighter, which he accepted. The next day, Kukui accompanied Burnet and his students to the Battle Royal Dome, but began feeling nervous as he had to take on his role as the Masked Royal without his identity being found out. After managing to sneak away, he was able to reach the ring in time, where his battle would begin. However, Mad Magmar played dirty again by having other members of the Revengers gang up on Incineroar until Ash's Torracat interfered. Teaming up with Torracat and Ash, the Masked Royal and Incineroar took on Mad Magmar and Mr. Electric and eventually managed to beat them, despite all the interference.

In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', mysterious dark clouds appeared over Alola, leaving Kukui and all other adults tired and without motivation. [[SM088|Later]], after this was resolved, Kukui met up the [[Ultra Guardians]], Burnet, Lusamine, Faba, and Wicke inside the Ultra Guardians base, where he oversaw {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Lunala}} recovering. [[SM089|Later]], when the Ultra Guardians left for [[Ultra Space]] with Lunala, Kukui and Faba volunteered to aid them. On [[Ten Carat Hill]], he and Faba confronted [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Matori]] Matrix by using their Pokémon to damage the team's airship and prevent them from entering the Ultra Wormhole. Afterwards, Kukui and Faba faced [[Gozu]] and his {{me|Aggron}} in battle, but their Pokémon were swiftly beaten. In [[SM090|the next episode]], Kukui asked Faba if he had more Pokémon, and the latter replied he did not. Thus, Kukui was forced to send out his Incineroar and perform its Z-Move, {{m|Malicious Moonsault}}, which managed to defeat Mega Aggron. However, this also caused him to reveal his secret identity to Faba, who in turn revealed that he was a big fan of the Masked Royal. Later, alongside Incineroar and Faba, Kukui joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} with Z-Power so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}. After Necrozma returned to its Ultra form, Kukui watched as the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala returned to Alola, alongside Faba, Burnet, Lusamine, and Wicke.

In ''[[SM092|Turning the Other Mask!]]'', the Masked Royal announced a handshake event to be held on Melemele Island. When Ash and Burnet told Kukui they wanted him to go with them to the event, Kukui asked [[Molayne]] to help keep his Masked Royal identity a secret. The day of the event, Molayne prepared to change into the Masked Royal costume, only to be tied up by Faba and [[James]], who had mistaken him for an imposter. When Mad Magmar came around looking for revenge, Faba donned the Masked Royal costume and tried to defeat him with Incineroar, only to be easily defeated. After freeing himself, Molayne had his {{p|Magneton}} shut the lights off, giving Kukui the time to slip back into his Masked Royal costume and defeat Mad Magmar.

[[File:Kukui and Guzma.png|thumb|250px|[[Guzma]] taunting Kukui prior to the start of the [[Manalo Conference]]]]
In ''[[SM115|The Dealer of Destruction!]]'', Kukui hosted a press conference at [[Aether Paradise]], where he announced the formation of the first-ever Alola {{al|Pokémon League}} and revealed [[Manalo Stadium|the stadium]] that was being constructed to host it, called Manalo. The next day, [[Guzma]] arrived at the Pokémon School and told Kukui that Alola didn't need a Pokémon League. When Ash challenged Guzma to a battle, Kukui refereed the match. The battle ended prematurely when Guzma's {{p|Golisopod}} returned to its {{i|Poké Ball}} due to {{a|Emergency Exit}}. As Guzma left, swearing to destroy the Alola League, Kukui confronted him, claiming that Guzma was running away like he did in the past with the island challenge and the Island Kahunas.

In ''[[SM127|Chasing Memories, Creating Dreams!]]'', Kukui announced the completion of the Manalo Stadium to the people of Alola. He also revealed that the winner of the [[Manalo Conference|Alola League]] would get to have an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} against the Masked Royal.

In ''[[SM139|Enter the Champion!]]'', Kukui, as the Masked Royal, handed Ash a trophy as a recognition of him winning the Alola League. However, the award ceremony was interrupted by a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Manalo Stadium Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} emerging from an Ultra Wormhole. In [[SM140|the next episode]], Ash and Royal battled another {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Shiny Guzzlord|Guzzlord}}, a {{pkmn2|giant}}, {{Shiny}} one, which was endangering the Manalo Stadium docks. During the battle, Ash's {{p|Poipole}}, having evolved into {{AP|Naganadel}} since Ash parted ways with it, arrived through a wormhole of its own. With Naganadel's help, Royal was able to help Ash perform a double {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} that sent Guzzlord through Naganadel's Ultra Wormhole and back into Ultra Space. However, the shock-wave caused by the Z-Moves and Guzzlord's attack colliding caused the Royal's mask to be blown away, revealing his true identity to Ash.
[[File:Masked Royal unmasked.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash and {{Rotom}} discovering the Masked Royal's true identity]]
In ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'', the rest of Alola learned of Kukui's secret identity as the Masked Royal, but Ash still insisted on battling Kukui. The next day, the exhibition match began and an undisguised Kukui sent out Incineroar to face Ash, who started with Torracat. During the battle, Torracat powered itself up by absorbing Incineroar's {{m|Blast Burn}}, but it was unable to fully control the flames, forcing Ash to switch it out for Lycanroc. When Lycanroc used the shards of its broken {{m|Stone Edge}} to injure Incineroar, Kukui switched it out for his Braviary.

In ''[[SM142|A Full Battle Bounty!]]'', the battle continued, with Braviary managing to defeat Lycanroc before losing to {{AP|Rowlet}}. Kukui then sent out his {{p|Venusaur}}, who was able to defeat Rowlet before losing to Torracat. Kukui then sent out his {{p|Empoleon}}, who briefly battled {{AP|Pikachu}} before losing to {{AP|Melmetal}}. Kukui then sent out Lucario to battle {{AP|Naganadel}}.

In ''[[SM143|Fiery Surprises!]]'', though Lucario and Naganadel were evenly matched at first, Lucario was eventually defeated. Ash then recalled Naganadel and brought out Torracat to fight Incineroar. After several fierce exchanges, both sides went for {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}, creating a massive fireball at the center of the field. Both Torracat and Incineroar leaped into the blaze to land a final blow, with their collision causing a massive explosion. When the smoke cleared, both Pokémon were on their feet at first, and although Torracat wavered, it was Incineroar who took the fall. The energy that Torracat built up caused it to evolve into an Incineroar itself, but the combination of the strain of evolving and its exhaustion setting in caused it to faint as well. Kukui prepared to summon his final Pokémon, but suddenly, {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}} appeared and knocked the Poké Ball from his hand. Wanting to team up with Kukui to battle Ash, Tapu Koko became Kukui's temporary sixth Pokémon.

[[File:Kukui Guardian of Alola pose.png|thumb|250px|Kukui performing {{m|Guardian of Alola}} with Tapu Koko]]
In ''[[SM144|From Z to Shining Z!]]'', Tapu Koko engaged in a blindingly fast aerial battle with Naganadel. Eventually, however, Naganadel was defeated by the guardian deity, leaving Ash with just Pikachu. After the two {{t|Electric}} types exchanged some attacks, Tapu Koko expressed that it wanted to perform a Z-Move with Kukui. When Kukui said he had already used his Z-Move for the battle, Tapu Koko called the other guardian deities to the stadium, and the four restored Z-Power for both Ash and Kukui. Tapu Koko then handed Kukui a [[Tapunium Z]], a legendary [[Z-Crystal]] for the guardian deities' exclusive Z-Move, {{m|Guardian of Alola}}. Both Kukui and Ash agreed to go all out in their battle. As Kukui and Tapu Koko performed their Z-Move, Ash's [[Electrium Z]] transformed into a [[Pikashunium Z]], allowing Ash and Pikachu to respond with their own signature Z-Move, {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. Eventually, Pikachu's Z-Move proved to be superior to Guardian of Alola and managed to defeat Tapu Koko, ending the exhibition match in Ash's victory. Kukui thanked both Tapu Koko and Ash for the great battle and declared the Manalo Conference a success.

In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', Ash, following his decision to start traveling around the {{pkmn|world}}, said goodbye to Kukui and Burnet, leaving all of the Pokémon he caught in Alola under their care. Sometime later, Kukui and Burnet were revealed to be expecting a child.

===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===
In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', Kukui met Ash and Goh upon their arrival in Alola. He took them home, where Ash was reunited with his Alolan team. Kukui also introduced them to his newborn son [[Lei]].

==Character==
[[File:Kukui family.png|thumb|left|250px|Kukui and his family]]
Professor Kukui is fairly serious, but mostly friendly and upbeat. He usually likes to add the names of [[move]]s into conversations every now and then, much like how [[Samson Oak]] uses Pokémon-related puns. He also tends to break from his serious and calm attitude, as shown in ''[[SM017|Crystal-Clear Sleuthing!]]'', when he was completely shocked at the notion that {{an|Kiawe}} had stolen {{Ash}}'s missing [[Electrium Z]]. Like {{an|Rotom Pokédex}}, he enjoys watching the [[television]] show Alolan Detective [[Laki]] and try to figure out who the culprit is during the episode. Much like his use of move names when he talks, he was shown to find it funny that the viewers assumed that the {{AP|Rockruff}} which he befriended was actually his. The fact that Professor Kukui befriended the stray Rockruff, when he came upon the Pokémon, who had recently been attacked with {{m|Teeter Dance}} and decided to nurture it, shows that he is also a friendly and hospitable person.

Professor Kukui is a skilled Pokémon Trainer, and as the Masked Royal, he is able to handle battling multiple Pokémon at once in [[Battle Royal]]s. The Masked Royal is the [[Battle Royal Dome]]'s star Trainer, having a known record win streak of at least 21 victories. Despite some comically close calls, no one has been able to discern the Masked Royal's true identity. The only exceptions are his longtime friend [[Molayne]]; {{an|Faba}}, who realized the truth after Kukui blew his cover in front of him; and [[Ash's Torracat]], who was able to recognize him from his scent, and later, {{ash}} himself, along with {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{rotom}}, and {{AP|Naganadel}} in the aftermath of the battle with the {{pkmn2|giant}} {{shiny}} {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Shiny Guzzlord|Guzzlord}}. As of ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'', all of the Alola region knows of Kukui's double identity.

{{p|Tapu Koko}} temporarily teamed up with Professor Kukui during his [[Full Battle]] against Ash during the [[Manalo Conference]]. In ''[[SM143|Fiery Surprises!]]'', Tapu Koko stopped Professor Kukui from sending out his last Pokémon by slapping away the {{i|Poké Ball}} in his hand, indicating that it wanted to battle Ash as Kukui's final Pokémon. Kukui accepted this offer. The battle commenced in ''[[SM144|From Z to Shining Z!]]'', where Tapu Koko faced [[Ash's Naganadel]] and won, before going up against Pikachu.

Along with its fellow deities, Tapu Koko restored Z-Power to Ash and Kukui's Z-Rings. It then gave Kukui a [[Tapunium Z]], allowing it to perform {{m|Guardian of Alola}}, while Ash and Pikachu countered with {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. Pikachu's Z-Move managed to overpower Tapu Koko's Z-Move, leading to Tapu Koko fainting and making Ash the winner of the exhibition match. Afterwards, Tapu Koko was restored by Tapu Lele's scales and thanked by Kukui for battling well.}}

==Trivia==
* Professor Kukui is the first {{pkmn|Professor}} who is not shown giving out any [[starter Pokémon]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* Professor Kukui's {{p|Lucario}} is the only Lucario with a named Trainer in the anime that has not used {{m|Aura Sphere}}.
** Similarly, it is also the only Lucario to be shown using a move, other than Aura Sphere, that contains the word はどう ''hadō'' in its Japanese name which can be translated as either ''wave'' or ''[[aura]]''.
* Professor Kukui has more known Pokémon on hand than any other Professor in the anime.
* Royal Mask's role as a masked supporting character is similar to [[Blaziken Mask]] from ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''. They both use the final forms of Fire-type [[starter Pokémon]] as their partner Pokémon.

'''Lightning Rod''' (Japanese: '''ひらいしん''' ''Lightning Rod''), formatted as '''Lightningrod''' prior to {{g|X and Y}}, is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generation III====
Lightningrod forces all single-target {{type|Electric}} moves used by foes to target the Pokémon with this Ability. Electric-type moves used by foes will never miss the Pokémon with this Ability, unless it is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}} ({{m|Thunder}} will never miss it if it is in the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Bounce}}).

Lightningrod cannot redirect Electric-type {{m|Hidden Power}}.

If another Pokémon becomes the {{status|center of attention}}, Electric-type moves will be directed to it instead of the Pokémon with Lightningrod.

====Generation IV====
Lightningrod now also forces all single-target {{type|Electric}} moves used by allies to target the Pokémon with this Ability. Electric-type moves used by allies will now never miss the Pokémon with this Ability, unless it is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}} ({{m|Thunder}} will never miss a Pokémon in the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Bounce}}).

Lightningrod cannot redirect Electric-type {{m|Judgment}} or {{m|Natural Gift}}.

====Generations V and VI====
Along with its previous effects, Lightning Rod also gives the Pokémon immunity to all Electric-type moves, and raises the Pokémon's {{stat|Special Attack}} by one stage whenever it is hit by an Electric-type move. Electric-type [[multi-strike move]]s (such as multi-strike moves affected by {{m|Electrify}} or Electric-type moves affected by {{a|Parental Bond}}) will only activate this effect once. If the Pokémon is {{cat|Protection moves|protected}} from the move or immune to the move due to being {{type|Ground}}, its {{stat|Special Attack}} will not increase.

Lightning Rod can now redirect Electric-type {{m|Hidden Power}}, {{m|Judgment}}, and {{m|Natural Gift}}.

If a Pokémon with Lightning Rod is holding a [[Cell Battery]], Lightning Rod absorbs the move, so the Cell Battery's effect is not triggered.

In [[Triple Battle]]s, Lightning Rod cannot redirect Electric-type moves if the Pokémon is out of range.

====Generation VII onward====
Even if the Pokémon would be immune to the move due to being {{type|Ground}}, Lightning Rod activates and boosts the Pokémon's {{stat|Special Attack}}.

The Abilities {{a|Propeller Tail}} and {{a|Stalwart}} bypass the targeting effect of Lightning Rod but not the Electric-type immunity.

===Outside of battle===
In {{game|Emerald}}, Trainers registered with the [[PokéNav]]'s Match Call function will call twice as often if a Pokémon with Lightningrod is in the first place in the [[party]] (even if [[fainting|fainted]]).

In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], if a Pokémon with Lightning Rod is in the first place in the party, there is a 50% chance the game will force an encounter with an Electric-type Pokémon, if one is possible. It shares this effect with {{a|Static}}.

* In [[Generation V]] games, {{p|Zapdos}} has Lightning Rod as its Hidden Ability, but it cannot be obtained by any legitimate means. It is replaced with {{a|Static}} as its Hidden Ability in [[Generation VI]].
* {{p|Plusle}} does not have a Hidden Ability in Generation V.

==In other games==
==={{g|Mystery Dungeon series}}===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Darkness]], a Pokémon with Lightning Rod draws in all enemy {{type|Electric}} attacks on the floor, completely neutralizing them. Unlike the main series, Lightning Rod is capable of attracting moves that target multiple Pokémon.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], the effect is now only room-wide.

Since [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]] also increases the Pokémon's Special Attack.

==Trivia==
* In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', {{AP|Pikachu}} is able to defeat [[Blaine]]'s {{p|Rhydon}} by aiming {{m|Thunderbolt|its electric attack}} at the Rhydon's horn, with it being stated that the horn acts as a lightning rod, apparently allowing Pikachu to overcome Rhydon's {{t|Ground|normal immunity}} to Electric attacks. However, in Generations III and IV, it didn't affect type immunity at all, and nullifies Electric damage in Generations V and on.
* Prior to becoming an Ability, Lightning Rod [[Electabuzz (Wizards Promo 46)|appeared]] as a TCG {{TCG|attack}}.
