Masatoshi:

==Origin==
Force Fire, I know you said "no copyrighted stuff", but keep in mind that Pokémon and Mario are both owned by Nintendo, so it is possible that Nacli's design could have been inspired by the Super Mushroom from the Mario franchise. Nintendo games reference other Nintendo franchises quite a lot. [[User:Buzzfan120|Buzzfan120]] ([[User talk:Buzzfan120|talk]]) 07:08, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
:I don't know what the issue with Nacli currently is, but we DID state in [[Pokémon Egg]]'s article that its design could have been inspired by Yoshi games. I don't see why one can be stated, while another cannot. [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 07:37, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Long time user of this wiki, first time poster adding to this discussion. I do understand the enforcement of the "no copyrighted stuff" rule on most articles, as allowing every little potential reference can muddy up the Origin section on almost every article. In this case of Nacli, and Naclstack/Garganacl, I do feel the references to Mario and Minecraft respectively are clearly noticeable in their designs. I believe a similar approach should be taken to [[Talk:Lokix (Pokémon)|Lokix]], where the reference to Kamen Rider was noticeable enough to mention in a general way. For example: "Nacli's design appears to resemble a Super Mushroom from the Super Mario franchise." and "Naclstack appears to resemble the blocky artstyle of the Minecraft franchise."

In addition, I think it is important to remember that references to other media are not unheard of in the Pokémon Franchise. [[Tiny_Mushroom]]/[[Big_Mushroom]] have been staple items for the series since Generation II, and [[Rotom_(Pokémon)]], one of the flagship Pokémon of the series, is based on one of Gamefreak's earlier games Pulseman.

:: While I do see the Super Mushroom resemblance with Nacli, I'm at a loss with Garganacl. If anything, Naclstack would be more like a Minecraft mob, but even then, I'm not sure. [[User:Masatoshi|<sc>'''Masatoshi'''</sc>]] [[User_talk:Masatoshi|''talk'']] 16:13, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
== Snails? ==

I'm looking at Nacli, and it sort of looks like a snail. Could this be another possible origin? [[User:Power-Point Panpour|Power-Point Panpour]] ([[User talk:Power-Point Panpour|talk]]) 04:43, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

Florian (game)

2022-11-30T01:32:30Z

Masatoshi: I do not believe it has a resemblance to the US State of Florida. No other language comes close to specify it. They do speak about youth, about being in the springtime of their lives, as I mentioned on the talk page, let us finish the discussion there.

Masatoshi:

==Artwork==
I noticed the character artwork on Florian's page is using the Scarlet artwork (Naranja Academy) as the default and Violet (Uva Academy Uniform) as "Alternate artwork". Given that the official Pokémon Scarlet and Violet website uses the Scarlet version Juliana and Violet version Florian artwork on the characters page, I suggest we do the same. The majority of trailers on the Official Pokémon YouTube channel use Scarlet version Juliana and Violet version Florian. Most promotional artwork follows this pattern as well. Does anyone have any thoughts on this suggested edit? [[User:Nyahoja|Nyahoja]] ([[User talk:Nyahoja|talk]]) 20:24, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

== Florian Name Origin ==

Is there a source for the origin of Florian's name being named after a US state, I don't think that sounds right if the region is based on Spain.--[[User:FrostyZippy|FrostyZippy]] ([[User talk:FrostyZippy|talk]]) 23:05, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

The term ''Florian'' is very similar to the US state of Florida. The Florida name is named after being one of the oldest Spanish colonies outside America. {{unsigned|Pokemondude1999}}
:That makes sense, however, the origin of Florida's name comes from the term "florido" which means full of flowers, thus why the named it La Florida. Also, it was because of Pascua Florida, the Festival of Flowers, from the Spanish Easter season. If anything, wouldn't the origin "flor" already listed include this? Feel free to correct me if you feel otherwise, I found a {{wp|Florian (name)|wikipedia article}} regarding the name itself, where its meaning mentions "flowering". I'm not going to remove your edit myself, I just wanted to point this out as it seems unnecessary.--[[User:FrostyZippy|FrostyZippy]] ([[User talk:FrostyZippy|talk]]) 00:48, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
::Be that as it may, if the region was based on the United States, I would give it a second thought. IMO, Florian being possibly based on the US State of Florida is a stretch. [[Juliana]] has no such references to that, if anything, both names are more closely related to youth, springtime of their lives. I'd advise not editing it back before reaching an agreement here.

== Multiple Edits ==

Hi! Thanks for dropping a message.

I know it seemed like I edited the same page multiple times but I was actually editing different sections of the same page, and the page being Mount Coronet, it had a lot of sections. I was adding the items obtained in Platinum in the area and each floor was edited and saved in its own sub-topic.

I do use the preview function every time to make sure there's no typo or code error. I'll try to minimise multiple edits in the future though I don't think any other page needs as much editing as that one.

== Why I made those edits ==

Beta is not the correct term to use for changed/removed content in video games, as the term "beta" refers to the stage of development where the game is tested before being shipped (i think?), it is highly unlikely huge amounts of data would be removed from the game at such a late point. Calling them "Beta elements" is disgustingly inaccurate. On the other hand, referring to such unused/changed content as things changed from the "Development cycle" is a more acceptable term. Please consider reverting back to "Development cycle", as beta is a horribly inaccurate term to use, especially since this is meant to be the Pokémon equivalent of Wikipedia. --[[User talk:Relicant|The]] [[Special:Contributions/Relicant|Truth]] aka Relicant 17:14, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

I noticed you've uploaded images of the models of all(at least I think you got them all, I just checked a bunch of random Pokemon from beginning to end) of the Pokemon in X and Y, are there plans for these to be added to the pages for every Pokemon under sprites or maybe a new section called "models" to be more accurate?

== about castform ==

ah, so there's a source to that? i did digging of my own and found nothing pointing to castform being artificial, if there is evidence then the issue is a lack of citation. maybe in the trivia section? [[User:Snow rat|Snow rat]] ([[User talk:Snow rat|talk]]) 22:51, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

| Hi, as you can see everywhere in this talk page, I'm '''Masatoshi''', and I'm a '''{{bp|Bureaucrat}}''' in '''Bulbapedia''' and a '''[[a:Archives:Senior Administrators|Senior Administrator]] in [[Bulbagarden Archives]]'''. I'm also the [[wp:Internet Relay Chat#Standard .28RFC1459.29 modes|owner]] of '''[irc://irc.systemnet.info/bulbapedia #bulbapedia]'''.
==Who/what/''why'' am I?==
I'm a soldier at the Uruguayan Army working with computers, I also fix computers. My {{tt|main|current}} goal is to become an English-to-Spanish-and-viceversa translator. I'm a tall and skinny guy (sack o' bones), being {{tt|176cm|5ft 9in}} tall and {{tt|67 kg|~just make the calculations lbs}} I'm a calm guy for most Bulbagarden-related issues, so {{ut|Masatoshi|fear not to talk to me}}, I will not bite (At least, not strongly, a tender nibble, if you ask...) you.
==History in Bulbagarden==
I joined in February 16, 2010 while being drawn closer due to the pretty templates over here (over {{#expr: (({{#time: U}} - {{#time: U|February 16, 2010}} - ({{#time: U}} - {{#time: U|February 16, 2010}}) mod 31536000)) div 31536000}} years ago) in the midst of the {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} hype and my first day editing here was in March 7, 2010; while [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Who%27s_That_Pok%C3%A9mon%3F&diff=prev&oldid=1029735 adding the Spanish variations for '''Who's That Pokémon?'''] and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Recurring_wild_Pok%C3%A9mon_in_the_anime&diff=prev&oldid=1029736 fixing a typo in '''Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime''']. However, I didn't get to edit more often as I didn't see what else to help the wiki on. Months passed by while trying to do some grunt work, with unsuccessful attempts until January 2011, when I started updating the TCG articles with the new templates.

A few days later, I offer myself to help with the new naming convention in Archives, updating the sprites' filenames to what they are now. The event lasted throughout the month of February, during which I was temporarily promoted to [[a:Archives:Junior Administrator|Junior Administrator]].

In March, on the verge of the English releases of {{2v2|Black|White}}, the wiki was locked down and I was promoted to {{bp|Junior Administrator}} in Bulbapedia.

After months of fluctuating activity (mostly based in mass edits), I was promoted to {{bp|Administrator}} in December 14, 2011. Not too long afterwards, I became a {{bp|Senior Administrator}}, and due to my continuous efforts to help during a massive update, I was promoted to '''Bureaucrat''' in Bulbapedia on February 26, 2014. Currently, due to work, studies and future work, my activity has decreased but am still available for minor edits, but watching over the Recent Changes and ensuring that Bulbapedia remains to be the best Pokémon-related wiki there is. That's all I have to say about that. *steps off the podium*

==Parties==
Not yet. Wait for a few months and I'll make one.

Artificial Pokémon

2021-12-16T22:39:42Z

Masatoshi: Undo revision 3443383 by Snow rat (talk)

{{samename|{{OBP|Pokémon|species}} identified in the [[Pokédex]] with the "Artificial" {{pkmn|category}}|Magearna (Pokémon)}}
In the [[Pokémon world]], a great deal of advanced technology is shown to be used by [[human]]s. Among this technology is the ability to create '''artificial Pokémon'''—{{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that have not emerged naturally but have been created, either through experiments or indirect means.

These Pokémon, other than being artificially created, are no different from natural Pokémon. They can breed, evolve, be found in the wild, be captured and be trained just as ordinary Pokémon would. Even these Pokémon have DNA which draws from the genetic code of {{p|Mew}}, the supposed ancestor of all other Pokémon besides these.

==Known artificial Pokémon==
===Voltorb and Electrode===
{{p|Voltorb}} and, as such, {{p|Electrode}}, first appeared, according to several Pokédex entries, at [[Silph Co.|the company]] where modern [[Poké Ball]]s were developed. It is rumored that it was first created when a {{i|Poké Ball}} was exposed to a powerful pulse of energy. This theory is supported further by the fact that its internal components are not a natural occurrence.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, {{rf|Hisuian}} Voltorb are also introduced, which resemble Poké Balls from the time period, and have a more natural appearance. The implications of this are not yet known.

===Porygon's evolutionary family===
[[File:Porygon Zero.png|thumb|220px|Porygon is a life form made of computer data.]]
Until the re-discovery of {{p|Golett}}, {{p|Porygon}} was thought to be the first Pokémon created deliberately. It is the first Pokémon deliberately created using modern technology, as the result of an experiment by the [[Cinnabar Lab]] in [[Kanto]]. [[Silph Co.]] possesses a report on the Pokémon, calling it the first "virtual-reality Pokémon." Because it is made up entirely of computer data, it can exist in cyberspace. According to some Pokédex entries, there is copy-protection data embedded in the program to prevent illegal reproduction, however as Porygon can be bred using {{p|Ditto}}, this is arguably ineffective. Porygon was developed to work in space, but it lacks this ability until evolving.

Porygon possesses two evolutions, both possible through artificial upgrades. {{p|Porygon2}} evolves from Porygon when it is traded while holding an [[Upgrade]]. According to some Pokédex entries, it is designed to work in and explore space; despite this, it is unable to reach and explore other planets. Unlike its predecessor, Porygon2 is not limited to what is contained in its program—it is capable of learning.

Porygon2 evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded holding a [[Dubious Disc]]. It is a modification of Porygon2, designed for travel between different [[dimensions]]. However, it did not work as planned, so it exhibits erratic behavior.

===Mewtwo===
[[File:Mewtwo M01.png|thumb|left|250px|Mewtwo is a clone of Mew.]]
{{p|Mewtwo}} is a powerful Legendary Pokémon, the result of gene-splicing experiments using the DNA of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. According to logs found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} in Kanto, Mew "gave birth" to Mewtwo after an embryo had been developed. This is inconsistent with Pokémon traditionally being born from {{pkmn|Egg}}s. It has a somewhat artificial appearance, most notably the tube protruding from the back of its neck. Like Mew, it harnesses powerful {{t|psychic}} energy. However, Mewtwo's power was amplified to exceed Mew's power to create the most powerful Pokémon in existence.

===Baltoy and Claydol===
Many of {{p|Claydol}}'s Pokédex entries state that it and its pre-evolution, {{p|Baltoy}}, were originally clay figures created by ancient people. The figures came to life after being exposed to mystical rays.

===Castform===
{{p|Castform}} was created by scientists at the [[Weather Institute]] in [[Hoenn]] to help predict the [[weather]]. Because of this, it has the ability to {{a|Forecast|change}} its [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]] and type with the weather.

===Banette===
{{p|Banette}} is a plush doll that was thrown away and came to life due to its grudge over being disowned. It seeks the child who abandoned it. However, it is said that treating Banette nicely will satisfy it, causing it to turn back into a plush toy.

===Trubbish and Garbodor===
{{p|Trubbish}}'s Pokédex entries say it was created when garbage and industrial waste mixed, causing a reaction that generated Trubbish. {{p|Garbodor}}, as its evolution, springs from the same source.

===Golett and Golurk===
{{p|Golett}} and {{p|Golurk}} were apparently created by an ancient civilization to protect people and Pokémon alike.

===Genesect===
{{p|Genesect}}, a Mythical Pokémon, was a different Pokémon many years ago. However, in [[Unova]], [[Team Plasma]] reconstructed it from a [[Fossil]] to create the most powerful Pokémon ever. [[N]] cancelled the project due to his belief that a Pokémon modified by science would lose its pureness. [[P2 Laboratory#Event 2|One scientist]], however, kept working on the project in secrecy, disagreeing with N's decision to cancel it. The scientist equipped Genesect with a metallic body, a cannon behind its head, and items known as [[drive]]s which change the type of its [[signature move]], {{m|Techno Blast}}.

===Type: Null and Silvally===
{{p|Type: Null}} was created by the [[Aether Foundation]] as part of its "Beast Killer" project - an initiative to create a Pokémon optimized for battling the [[Ultra Beast]]s by using cell cultures from all known types of Pokémon and combining their greatest strengths. Originally known as "Type: Full", the {{a|RKS System}} it was originally built with was intended to allow it to change types to adapt to any situation. When the three known models all rejected the RKS system and went berserk, the project was deemed a failure and they were placed into cryogenic stasis. The helmet Type: Null wears was made to stabilize the side-effects of the RKS System's rejection at the expense of suppressing its full power. When it evolves into {{p|Silvally}}, it deliberately destroys its helmet and becomes able to use the RKS System without losing control of itself. Silvally was named by [[Gladion]], according to the Pokédex.

Another Type: Null is later created in [[Galar]] by [[Macro Cosmos]] by using stolen research notes.

===Magearna===
{{p|Magearna}} was created over 500 years ago by human hands.

==Other Pokémon influenced by humans==
Some Pokémon that formed naturally are shown to be altered in some way by human involvement.

===Grimer and Muk===
According to several [[Pokédex]] entries, {{p|Grimer}} and consequently {{p|Muk}} were created from human pollution in a stream exposed to {{wp|X-ray}}s from the moon. As they were created from genetic waste, Grimer and Muk are {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.

===Deoxys===
{{p|Deoxys}} is said to be a virus that fell from space while attached to a meteor. Once on Earth, this virus was mutated by accidental exposure to a laser beam which transformed it into a Pokémon. Its DNA remains unstable and it will {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Deoxys|mutate further}} when exposed to certain sources of extraterrestrial radiation.

In [[Pokemon Adventures]], {{adv|Deoxys}} is one of two specimen. These specimen were used by [[Team Rocket]] to develop Deoxys similar to {{adv|Mewtwo}}.

===Burmy and Wormadam===
[[File:Cheryl Wormadam Trash Cloak.png|thumb|220px|Wormadam wearing the Trash Cloak]]
{{p|Burmy}} create outer {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Burmy and Wormadam|cloaks}} out of their habitat. This may be composed of natural materials, as seen in its Plant Cloak or Sandy Cloak, or of artificial insulation as seen in its Trash Cloak. Burmy's cloak will change depending on the location of its last battle.

A female Burmy with the Trash Cloak will evolve into Trash Cloak {{p|Wormadam}}, with the same artificial cloak it had as a Burmy. Unlike with Burmy, however, Wormadam's cloak is permanent.

===Spiritomb===
{{p|Spiritomb}} were once 108 separate entities whose sins caused their spirits to be bound together into the [[Odd Keystone]] as this Pokémon. The Keystones were then separated from the [[Hallowed Tower]], which triggers Spiritomb's release.

===Rotom===
[[File:Mow Rotom anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Rotom can take over man-made appliances such as a lawnmower.]]
{{p|Rotom}} can possess microwaves, washing machines, refrigerators, electric fans, lawnmowers, and even [[Rotom Pokédex|certain Pokédexes]].

===Yamask===
{{p|Yamask}} arose from the souls of dead people becoming attached to their respective death masks.

===Alolan Rattata and Raticate===
{{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Raticate}} in [[Alola]] were booming in population until {{p|Yungoos}} were imported as a control measure. As a result, they changed their habitat, settling in urban areas and becoming nocturnal - which gave it an additional {{t|Dark}} type and [[Regional form|changed its appearance]]. Due to the new environment, Rattata and Raticate indulged themselves in richer, high-calorie foods, which made Raticate fatter and have puffier cheeks.

===Alolan Meowth and Persian ===
{{p|Meowth}} were imported to Alola as a gift to royalty. Due to its pampered and luxurious lifestyle, Meowth grew greedy and selfish, becoming a pure Dark-type and changing its appearance, later becoming feral and more common in the wild after the monarchy in Alola fell and left it living on the streets. Its prideful nature continued upon evolution as a {{p|Persian}} and its distinct and round face is revered by the people of Alola.

===Alolan Grimer and Muk===
When Alola became more populated, {{p|Grimer}} were imported to deal with the garbage problem. Upon feeding on Alola's garbage, Grimer changed appearance and gained an additional Dark typing. The continual consumption of toxins also changed the appearance and typing of {{p|Muk}}, whose appetite now extends to anything within reach and has produced a new toxin from the accumulation of waste and manufactured materials.

===Galarian Meowth and Perrserker===
The bodies of {{p|Meowth}} in Galar were toughened into iron by their lifestyle alongside a seafaring people. This influenced its evolution, as it evolves into {{p|Perrserker}} instead of Persian.

===Galarian Weezing===
In the past, when there were a lot of factories that polluted the air in [[Galar]], {{p|Weezing}} fed on the air pollution. This resulted in Weezing changing its appearance and gaining an additional {{t|Fairy}} typing. Galarian Weezing can create clean air by absorbing polluted air and removing the toxins in it.

===Galarian Fossil Pokémon===
{{p|Dracozolt}}, {{p|Arctozolt}}, {{p|Dracovish}}, and {{p|Arctovish}} are four Galarian [[Fossil]] Pokémon revived by combining two different Fossils together. As such, their bodies feature many abnormalities that make it difficult for these Pokémon to live well. It is unknown what they looked like when they were alive in their proper forms.

The '''Weather Institute''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|天気研究所|てんきけんきゅうじょ}}''' ''Weather Institute'') is a weather research building located on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} in the region of [[Hoenn]], in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

The Weather Institute is like a bureau for the Hoenn [[region]]. It checks and keeps track of weather conditions throughout Hoenn. The Weather Institute has created a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} named {{p|Castform}}, which has the ability to predict the weather and its conditions on a specific location. Its main project is the weather control machine which allows them to change the weather in certain areas.

==Geography==
On the first trip through Route 119, the {{player}} will find that [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|Sa}}{{sup/3|Em}}{{sup/6|AS}} or [[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|Ru}}{{sup/6|OR}} have invaded the Institute, looking for information about {{p|Kyogre}} or {{p|Groudon}}, respectively, and the rare Pokémon, Castform. The team has also blockaded the bridge just outside the Institute, preventing access to [[Fortree City]] until the team is defeated.

This facility is used in {{game|Emerald}} to find Groudon and Kyogre after becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}. By speaking to the meteorologist inside, players will learn of unusual weather patterns in certain routes. If he says there is a drought, Groudon slumbers in the [[Terra Cave]]; if downpours are coming down, Kyogre awaits in the [[Marine Cave]]. If the {{player}} does not reach the cave fast enough, it will temporarily disappear and the other cave will appear. However, after defeating or catching one of the Pokémon, the other cave simply relocates if the player does not visit it fast enough.

The Weather Institute has two accessible stories, both with many desks and computers. On the far left side of the bottom floor is a [[PC]] and bed which can heal the Pokémon in one's [[party]].

===First floor===
Upon entering, the first floor is accessible. By going west along the entrance hallway, there will be another opening to three rooms. The room on the western side is a rest area that contains a [[PC]] and bed which can heal the Pokémon in a Trainer's [[party]].

The room on the eastern side is the research area where scientists work on projects and study weather patterns within the region. There are four workstations each containing a computer. There is also a computer positioned at the north side of the room, that will study and record all weather patterns within the [[Hoenn]] region. In the northwestern corner of the room, there are bookshelves crammed with books and there are plants scattered around the room. The stairs to the second floor is located in the northwestern corner of the room.

====Vending Machine====
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], there is a [[Vending Machine]] on the first floor of the institute.
{{shop|}}
{{shoprow|{{shopitem|Fresh Water|200}}|{{shopitem|Soda Pop|300}}}}
{{shoprow|{{shopitem|Lemonade|350}}}}
{{shopfooter}}

===Second floor===
More workstations are located on this floor along with the head of the Weather Institute's office being up here. In total, there are ten workstations each containing a computer, one of them however is missing a chair. In the northwestern corner of the room, there are bookshelves crammed with books and there are plants scattered around the room.

Right on the far western side of the room is the head of the Weather Institute's office. This is the location that [[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}} rounded up the residents and scientists of the Weather Institute.

Once the player defeats the villainous team and saves the Weather Institute, the professor of the institute will give the player a Castform, though in Ruby, Sapphire, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire, the player must have an empty slot in the party to obtain it.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Weather Institute anime.png‎|thumb|250px|The Weather Institute in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]‎
{{spoilers}}
In ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} traveled to the Weather Institute, where they got caught up in a takeover by [[Team Aqua]]. Team Aqua planned to steal all of the facility's data on weather and ancient Pokémon, but their plan was stopped by a disguised [[Team Magma]] member named [[Brodie]], who escaped with the data himself.

[[Bart]] is the manager of the Weather Institute, which employs several scientists, including [[Millie]]. The facility contains multiple rooms with many different machines. A weather data machine stores data like temperature and weather patterns on a large computer so the employees can do tests and experiments later. There is also a huge satellite outside the institute, called the Weather Control Machine, which can manipulate the weather. The Weather Institute has archived hard copies of its research, which act as a backup if the main computer system goes down.

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Weather Institute PG.png‎|thumb|250px|The Weather Institute in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
The Weather Institute appeared along with {{rt|119|Hoenn}} in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} was seen battling a {{p|Vigoroth}} outside of the building.

The inside of the Weather Institute briefly appeared in a flashback in ''[[PG08|The Cavern]]''. [[Team Aqua]] was revealed to have taken over the Institute, restraining the Scientists inside and allowing [[Shelly]] to conduct research on the effects of [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}} on the weather of [[Hoenn]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Weather Institute Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Weather Institute in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
Weather Institute appeared from ''[[PS208|On the Loose and Hyper With Zangoose and Seviper II]]'' to ''[[PS211|Hanging Around With Slaking III]]''. {{adv|Ruby}} and {{tc|Swimmer}} Jack fled there after being attacked by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Zangoose}} and {{p|Seviper}}, only for Ruby to be confronted by his father [[Norman]], who had come to take him home after he had run away to participate in {{pkmn|Contest}}s. As they battled, [[Gabby and Ty]] also arrived at the site with [[Mr. Stone]]'s {{p|Castform}}.

Eventually, both Ruby and Norman fell off the side of the building, but were saved by a combination of [[Feefee|Ruby's Feebas]]'s {{m|Light Screen}} and his [[Running Shoes]], which Norman had given to him as a gift. After surviving the fall, Ruby fainted, and Norman was approached by [[Flannery]] and [[Winona]], who had come to take him back to the [[Petalburg Gym]], which he had left unattended without permission. Having no other choice, Norman left with them, telling his unconcious son to realize his dream of winning every Contest. Gabby and Ty also left [[Fofo|Castform]] with Ruby, as it had taken a liking to him.

==Trivia==
* A woman on {{rt|212|Sinnoh}} west of [[Pastoria City]] in [[Sinnoh]] says she used to work at the Weather Institute of Hoenn. She will trade [[TM]]s of weather-changing moves for [[shard]]s.

'''Castform''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポワルン''' ''Powalen'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Castform has the ability to [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Castform|change forms]] depending on the current [[weather]].
* During normal weather, {{weather|fog}}, a {{weather|sandstorm}}, or a {{weather|shadowy aura}}, it is in '''Normal''' form and is a {{t|Normal}} type.
* During {{weather|harsh sunlight}}, it is in '''Sunny Form''' and is a {{t|Fire}} type.
* During {{weather|rain}}, it is in '''Rainy Form''' and is a {{t|Water}} type.
* During {{weather|hail}} it is in '''Snowy Form''' and is an {{t|Ice}} type.

==Biology==
Castform is an [[artificial Pokémon|artificial]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that changes appearance and attitude based on the weather. Its body is made of cells exactly like those of water molecules, causing its cellular structure to be chemically altered by temperature and humidity. Though not of its free will, Castform uses this ability to protect its tiny body. In its Normal Form, it resembles a plain, gray cloud with a single wisp extending from the top of its head.

Under bright sunlight, it takes on its Sunny Form. Its lower half becomes pure white, while the head turns orange has develops small orange spheres around it. This gives it the overall appearance of the sun above a small cloud. Its skin glows and dries, and becomes hot to the touch.

When it is soaked in rain, it takes on its Rain Form. It has a dark gray lower half resembling a storm cloud. The head turns blue and resembles a raindrop. Its body is soft and slippery and seeps with water when compressed.

When it is hit by hail, it takes on its Snowy Form. Its head turns purplish-blue. The rest of the body changes into the shape of a mint green, {{wp|cumulonimbus cloud}}. Its body becomes a smooth ice-like material, partially frozen measuring temperatures near 23 degrees Fahrenheit.

Regardless of the form it takes, it will always have a large, spherical head and a lighter colored mask-like marking over its eyes. Various experiments were conducted to change its form in artificial conditions, but all have failed. Aside from its various forms, Castform is able to utilize weather powers in the form of its previously [[signature move]], {{m|Weather Ball}}. Despite its man-made origins, it can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassland areas}}.

==Trivia==
* Castform's {{m|Weather Ball}} will always receive {{STAB}} in any of its forms unless in a sandstorm, under {{m|Shadow Sky}}, or if it loses {{a|Forecast}}.
** Castform is the only Pokémon to receive this benefit from Weather Ball.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, Castform has a body size of 4, despite it being a body size 1 in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|first Mystery Dungeon games]] and having the same in-game sprite in the second Mystery Dungeon games. This may have been changed to balance gameplay.
* Castform's weather-based transformations cannot be viewed in the forms section of the {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} Pokédex, nor do they appear on the field in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
** All of Castform's forms will appear in the forms section of the HeartGold and SoulSilver Pokédex upon obtaining one, even if it never transformed.
* Castform is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Prior to [[Generation VIII]], unlike most Pokémon with [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form differences]], Castform's alternate forms had no {{Shiny}} variations of their own, so only the Normal form of a Shiny Castform would look different.
** Because Castform is not present in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, these new shiny forms were first shown in [[Pokémon HOME]]. They were later [[Shiny Pokémon (GO)|included]] in the files of [[Pokémon GO]], and Shiny Rainy Form Castform became available in game on March 24, 2021.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/post/weather-week-2021/?hl=en Therian Forme Thundurus brings rain and wind to Weather Week!]</ref>
* Before [[Generation VII]], Castform's Normal form was classified by Pokédex color sorting as white.
* Castform is the only Normal-type Pokémon in the {{egg3|Amorphous}}.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Castform}}
Castform resembles a living {{wp|cloud}} and acts like weather in general, but it may also be based on a {{wp|weather balloon}}. It is similar in both concept and design to a ''{{wp|teru teru bōzu}}'', a Japanese charm doll used to wish for good weather. Its forms and their types may have originated from the English saying "rain, hail, or shine". As Castform is said to be composed of molecules similar to water, its shape of a large sphere with two smaller orbs resembles an H2O molecule.

====Name origin====
Castform may be a combination of ''forecast'' (the prediction of weather) and ''transform'' or ''form'' (referring to its ability to change form depending on the weather). The German and French names reflect this.

Powalen may be a combination of ポワン ''powan'' (onomatopoeia of a sudden transformation, similar to "poof" in English) and 変わる ''kawaru'' (to change or transform).

'''The Evolution Solution''' (Japanese: '''ヤドンがヤドランになるとき''' ''When {{tt|Yadon|Slowpoke}} Becomes {{tt|Yadoran|Slowbro}}'') is the 66th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 15, 1998 and in the United States on October 2, 1999.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash decides to join his mom and friends who are vacationing on Seafoam Island. While there, he searches out the programmer of the Pokedex to get information about the evolution of a Slowpoke. The mystery of how Slowpoke evolves into a Slowbro is surprisingly revealed when Team Rocket makes their usual bumbling interference.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} is surprised to learn that his mother {{Delia}}, some of [[Pallet Town]]'s locals, and {{ashfr}} are going to go to {{an|Seafoam Island}} for a beachside holiday. Delia tells Ash that he has to stay behind to train, just as the tour group leaves shortly after. Ash goes to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab, only to discover that Oak is trying to find out why {{p|Slowpoke}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Slowbro}}. When Ash suggests that he use the [[Pokédex]] to search for answers, Oak is instantly reminded of [[Professor Westwood V]], a Pokéologist and the original creator of the [[Pokédex]] who would know the answer. He conveniently lives of Seafoam Island, so Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} quickly decide to assist, capitalizing on an excuse to go to the beach.

Ash arrives and surprises {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}. They walk to Westwood's lab, where they discover that he is actually the fifth of many Westwoods, and insists on being called that. He is also trying to figure out the mystery of Slowpoke and {{p|Shellder}}, and hopes to present a theory to the world's leading body of Pokéologists, the Pokémon Suppositum. Westwood V goes outside to fish, trying to understand Slowpoke. As Ash and his friends find a Slowpoke sitting next to them, {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} comes out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} and talks to the Slowpoke. After what seems to be some random, unintelligent conversation, a {{p|Krabby}} comes out the water. It first grabs onto Slowpoke's tail, and then Psyduck's, which the two register several seconds later. The team decides to go have some lunch for a break.

Meanwhile, {{an|Giovanni|Team Rocket's Boss}} is taking a vacation on the beach to rest and recover from the stress of having {{an|Team Rocket HQ|Team Rocket's headquarters}} [[EP065|destroyed]] and making [[Jessie]] and [[James]] dig for clams, having already cleaned his private yacht. Upset that they cannot take a break, James digs up a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Shellder}} and decides to try to capture it. James calls out {{TP|James|Weezing}}, who, after dodging Shellder's {{m|Ice Beam}}, defeats it with {{m|Haze}}. However, just as James attempts to capture the Shellder, Jessie butts in and captures it herself, much to James's disappointment. They go to the Boss, but he disapproves of their capture and orders them to steal potentially invaluable information from Westwood V's lab.

Westwood V shows Ash and his friends a computer simulation of Slowpoke's evolution, and notes the form change Shellder undergoes when it clamps on to Slowpoke's tail. {{TRT}} arrives in a parasail and startles everyone when it crash-lands on the lab's balcony. After performing their {{motto}}, they hand Westwood V a paper with their own "Team Rockédex" entries about themselves. Westwood V is instantly impressed by {{MTR}}'s speech and starts writing notes. He then realizes that Team Rocket may be trying to enslave him and tries to escape. The trio finds that the only Pokémon Westwood V has is a Slowpoke, and decide to use their new Shellder to make Slowpoke evolve into Slowbro and thus make it more valuable.

Westwood V tries to flee with his Slowpoke, but after tripping, Team Rocket catches up and sends out Shellder. To everyone's surprise, Slowpoke, regarded as the Dopey Pokémon, runs around in an attempt to flee from Shellder. Misty decides to intervene with the seaside location perfect for her {{type|Water}} Pokémon, but Psyduck emerges. Psyduck turns around and Shellder {{m|clamp}}s onto its tail instead. After a delayed pain reaction, Psyduck throws Shellder off, sending the Pokémon flying. Weezing attempts to knock Psyduck out, but only bounces on its head. Infuriated, Jessie throws Shellder again, but it clamps onto Psyduck's head this time, giving it a major headache. Psyduck, now much more powerful because of its headache, uses {{m|Disable}} to stop everyone and its {{m|Confusion}} sends Team Rocket flying. It suddenly loses concentration, however, both Team Rocket and Shellder land close by. As Slowpoke walks towards Psyduck to thank it, it trips and Shellder clamps onto its tail, evolving it. Team Rocket runs back to grab Slowbro, but Westwood V orders Slowbro to attack them with {{m|Mega Punch}}. Although Slowbro temporarily forgets the attack due to {{m|Amnesia}}, it quickly regains it and sends Team Rocket blasting off once again.

Misty asks if Westwood V figured out why Slowpoke evolves. He answers confidently, with a brand-new theory, that {{wp|Mutualism (biology)|both Pokémon benefit}}. He explains that Shellder helps Slowpoke to balance on two legs instead of four, freeing its hands so it can use Mega Punch, and Shellder gains land transportation on Slowpoke's tail. As the group leaves, Ash thinks Psyduck may want to say goodbye to Slowbro. Misty, Ash, and Brock watch on as the two Pokémon have a rather slow conversation.

==Major events==

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]]: {{p|Alakazam}}
** Pokémon senryū summary: "I want to see an {{p|Alakazam}} using a fork."
* Part of the lecture for this episode was [[dub]]bed for an introduction on the American VHS version of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.
* This episode was partially adapted into the book [[Prepare for Trouble]].
* {{MTR}} imitates {{wp|Moe Howard}} of {{wp|The Three Stooges}} by saying "Oh, you're a wise guy, huh?" after {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Shellder}} appears and sticks out its tongue.
* Music from ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' and ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'' is played in the episode. However, the background music is replaced in the English dub.
* The episode's {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish}} dub title is a reference to ''{{wp|On the Origin of Species}}'' (Swedish translation: Om arternas uppkomst).
* The events of this episode take place after ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

===Errors===
* {{an|Misty}} says that {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} used its "tail wag attack", although in multiple episodes, she uses the proper name "{{m|Tail Whip}}".
* When {{p|Slowbro}} uses {{m|Amnesia}}, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are stunned, and {{an|Brock}} says, "That's supposed to make its opponents forget!" This is untrue, since Amnesia only affects the user in the {{pkmn|games}}.

===Dub edits===
* [[Pikachu's Jukebox]]: [[My Best Friends]]
* The setting of the episode is said to be {{an|Seafoam Island}} in the English dub, a reference to the [[Seafoam Islands]] in the games. In the original Japanese version, this location is named Binnes (ビンヌ), a reference to {{wp|Cannes}}, with no relation to the game location.
* [[Professor Westwood V]] is outright said to have programmed the [[Pokédex]] in the English dub, when he was simply one of the people to write the device's bestiary in the Japanese version.
* [[James]] tells {{TP|James|Weezing}} to use {{m|Haze}} in the English dub. In the original Japanese version, it was told to counterattack.

'''Teddiursa''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒメグマ''' ''Himeguma'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Ursaring}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
Teddiursa is a bipedal, ursine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered in short, orange-brown fur. Its muzzle is a light tan color with a small black nose and black eyes. There is a slightly paler tan crescent marking on its face, and it has round ears. It has three claws on its forepaws as well as two claws and yellow paw pads on its hind paws. Its tail is short, round, and puffy.

Teddiursa uses {{p|Beedrill}} pollen and fruit to create its own honey. The marking on its face glows when it finds honey already made. Honey is often absorbed into Teddiursa's forepaws, and it is often seen licking them. It will hide food stores throughout its territory before food becomes scarce in winter. Teddiursa lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous forests}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Margo Teddiursa.png|thumb|left|250px|Teddiursa in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Teddiursa Egg.png|thumb|100px|A Teddiursa {{pkmn|Egg}} in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Teddiursa debuted in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', where [[Molly Hale]] used an illusion of one, created by the {{OBP|Unown|M03}}, as her second Pokémon in her {{pkmn|battle}} against {{an|Brock}}. It quickly defeated {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} with a combination of {{m|Dynamic Punch}} and {{m|Fury Swipes}}. She was later seen playing with a real Teddiursa during the ending credits.

Teddiursa made its main series debut in ''[[EP186|UnBEARable]]''. It was a manipulative thief who would pretend to be cute to humans in order to steal their food and blame it on their Pokémon. Ultimately, it evolved into {{p|Ursaring}} at the end of the episode, and was thus no longer able to use its charm on humans with ease anymore.

A Teddiursa is one of the best friends of the [[Pichu Brothers]]. It appeared in ''[[Trouble in Big Town]]'', ''[[HS06|Of Meowth]] [[HS07|and Pokémon]]'', ''[[HS09|Big Meowth]]'', ''[[HS10|Little Dreams]]'', and ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]'', and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

In ''[[AG057|Going For A Spinda]]'', a Teddiursa was disguised as a {{p|Spinda}} by {{TRT}}. It was tied up in order to lure a Spinda to them, but instead, its Ursaring parent came and blasted them away.

In ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'', multiple Teddiursa helped a {{p|Luxio}} free a {{p|Wailmer}} trapped in the sewers.

In ''[[DP190|The Brockster Is In!]]'', [[Normajean]]'s Teddiursa was badly poisoned by a {{p|Tentacruel}} alongside several of her other baby Pokémon. It was then healed by a {{m|Softboiled}} from [[Brock's Chansey]].

In ''[[XY046|The Clumsy Crier Quiets the Chaos!]]'', a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}'s Teddiursa was playing with a {{p|Bidoof}} and a {{p|Linoone}} when they were all attacked by a rampaging {{p|Salamence}}. Teddiursa was then taken to a [[Pokémon Center]] and healed with the help of [[Nurse Joy]] and her {{TP|Nurse Joy|Wigglytuff}}.

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', a Teddiursa befriended by [[Margo]] was targeted alongside a {{p|Ditto}} by [[Pokémon poacher|Pokémon hunters]] looking for {{OBP|Zeraora|M21}}. They were then saved by Zeraora, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}}, and his friends.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', a Teddiursa was living in {{OBP|Celebi|M04}}'s forest.

In ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'', a baby Teddiursa was being cared for by [[Mr. Shellby]].

A Teddiursa appeared in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

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

A {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Teddiursa appeared in ''[[AG050|Pros and Con Artists]]''.

A Teddiursa appeared in ''[[AG077|A Fan with a Plan]]''.

In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'', a Teddiursa was an actor in a film starring {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} that {{Ash}} and {{Gary}} watched when they were younger.

A Coordinator's Teddiursa appeared in ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]''.

A Teddiursa appeared in ''[[DP010|Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!]]''.

A Teddiursa appeared in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Teddiursa is one of the fourteen Pokémon for which [[foreign Pokédex entries]] can be collected in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Teddiursa is the only non-{{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} with a unique sprite in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} (aside from the [[List of Pokémon with form differences|different forms]] of {{p|Deoxys}}).
* Teddiursa can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Phanpy}}: their evolution lines are exclusive to opposite versions of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} (and are the only Pokémon to swap version-exclusive status between localizations), they each have one evolved form, and they both have {{a|Pickup}} as an [[Ability]] and lose it upon evolution.

===Origin===
Teddiursa is based on a {{wp|teddy bear}} and possibly a {{wp|sun bear}} or {{wp|sloth bear}} {{wp|cub}}, both {{wp|honey bear}}s. The moon marking and the fact that it is a bear cub may mean it might have been based on the constellation {{wp|Ursa Minor#History and mythology|Ursa Minor}}'s mythology.

====Name origin====
Teddiursa is a combination of ''{{wp|teddy bear}}'' and ''ursa'' ({{wp|Latin}} for ''bear'').

Himeguma may be a combination of 姫 ''hime'' (princess, small) or ''hi'' (an alternate reading of 朏 ''mikazuki'' [crescent moon]) and 熊 ''kuma'' (bear).
''Hime'' is the Japanese word for ''princess'', but also used as ''small'' in {{jwp|種名|Japanese nomenclature of species}}.

'''Green''' (Japanese: '''ブルー''' ''Blue'') is the female [[player character]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and also appears as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. Her male counterpart is {{ga|Red}}. As the player character in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, she is known as '''Leaf''' (Japanese: '''リーフ''' ''Leaf'').

==In the games==
{{spoilers}}
Leaf's adventure begins after [[Professor Oak]] calls her to his lab and gives her a [[Starter Pokémon|choice of Pokémon]]. {{ga|Blue}} challenges Leaf to a [[Pokémon battle]] as soon as they get their Pokémon. A bit later, Professor Oak calls the two back, gives each of them a [[Pokédex]], and sends them on a journey to fulfill their dream of capturing every kind of Pokémon.

Leaf travels all over Kanto, filling in the Pokédex and defeating the [[Gym Leader]]s. Her [[rival]] Blue constantly stays one step ahead, and shows up quite a few times to impede her progress. When Leaf eventually reaches the [[Elite Four]], she finds that Blue has beaten her to a milestone yet again and has become the [[Indigo League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. Leaf defeats Blue in the final battle, and becomes the Champion herself. Her adventure continues even after that, with Leaf discovering new places, such as the [[Sevii Islands]].

Leaf's main conflict in the games, aside from Blue, is [[Team Rocket]], an infamous group of Pokémon thieves. Leaf clashes with Team Rocket many times in her quest. She defeats a group of grunts at [[Mt. Moon]] who are attempting to steal rare Pokémon [[Fossil]]s, and defeats another group ahead at a bridge in [[Cerulean City]]. Leaf protects the [[Pokémon Tower]] and [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[Lavender Town]] and destroys their hold on the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]]. After she foils their plot to take over [[Silph Co.]], Leaf encounters [[Giovanni]], the leader of Team Rocket, as the final Gym Leader in [[Viridian City]]. Upon defeating him, Leaf stops the group's world domination plots once and for all, though a few remaining grunts, many who appeared and were defeated by Leaf on [[Five Island]] in [[Generation III]], would band together in [[Johto]] to [[Generation II|try to revive the group]].

Green makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].

===Pokémon===
====[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]====
The first battle against Green takes place in [[Cerulean Cave]] after the player has {{pkmn2|caught}} {{p|Mewtwo}} and met up with {{ga|Trace}} outside of the cave. The second battle takes place in [[Cerulean City]] after Green has been defeated in Cerulean Cave.

==In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series==
[[File:Female Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|right|200px|Leaf as a palette swap of Pokémon Trainer in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
Leaf's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{p|Jigglypuff}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] onward, in parallel to {{p|Pikachu}} wearing {{ga|Red}}'s hat.

===Super Smash Bros. Ultimate===
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}
Leaf appears as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], where she is part of Red's palette swaps. Much like him, she is referred to as "Pokémon Trainer", sharing his team of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}.
{{-}}

==In other games==
Leaf makes a cameo appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While she does not appear in the games' Story Mode, she is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used with her as the player character. She can take on [[Mt. Battle]]'s 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles.

==Counterparts==
[[File:Green Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Green in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the manga===
====In Pokémon Adventures manga====
{{main|Green (Adventures)}}
{{adv|Green}} from the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga serves as Green's counterpart.

====In Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga====
{{main|Blue (Ruby-Sapphire)}}
Green also has a counterpart in the [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] manga series, who is named {{OBP|Blue|Ruby-Sapphire}}.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
[[File:RGB guidebook.jpg|200px|thumb|Cover of the Pocket Monsters Red, Green, and Blue guidebook]]
* An artwork of an [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Female character|unnamed female character]] drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]] was released in the games' official strategy guide. Sugimori had stated that he wanted to portray a trio of Trainers facing against each other, hence designed the female character for the cover.<ref>[https://twitter.com/super_32x/status/269844962118610945 Twitter - Sugimori on the origins of the unknown female character] (Japanese)</ref> The female character was later adapted for the Pokémon Craft DX magazine drawn by Emiko Yoshino, as well as the character {{adv|Green}} in Pokémon Adventures. Sugimori also noted that he took the unnamed female character into consideration when he was designing the female protagonist of FireRed and LeafGreen.<ref>[https://twitter.com/super_32x/status/269847118754217986 Twitter - Sugimori on designing the FRLG female protagonist] (Japanese)</ref>
* Leaf's hat somewhat resembles a {{ball|Premier}}.
* Leaf's FireRed and LeafGreen sprite shows her with blue eyes, although every other sprite and the official artwork shows her with brown eyes.
* The majority of her Japanese default names are shared with {{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Lyra}}. She also shares all of {{ga|Kris}}'s alternate Japanese names.
* Though she is neither playable nor an opponent in the handheld [[Generation IV]] games, Leaf made a brief cameo battling against {{ga|Red}} in an early trailer for [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] on the Wii.
* Leaf is the only non-rival female player character to have a [[Blue (Ruby-Sapphire)|counterpart]] who appeared in Pokémon Pocket Monsters.

==Names==
Although she is referred to as "Leaf" in unused Trainer data in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, she was not officially referred to as such until the reveal of the Kotobukiya ArtFx J figurine featuring her as リーフ ''Leaf''.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/146236304957513728 Twitter - Sugimori on the name of the FRLG female protagonist] (Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/kotobukiyas/status/1048377301530947584 Twitter - Kotobukiya ArtFx J figurine announcment] (Japanese)</ref> Because of this, she was also known in the fandom as "Green" (ブルー ''Blue'' in Japanese) to match her {{adv|Green|Pokémon Adventures counterpart}}. This name would later be used officially in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. She is also sometimes referred to as フグリ ''Fuguri'' in the Japanese fandom. The name is derived from the katakana rendering of "LeafGreen", リー'''フグリ'''ーン ''rī'''fugurī'''n''.

en realidad?
Quien llora queriendo escapar
El tiempo llegó, voy a intentar
Nadie me detendrá
Quiero demostrarte,
sé que ya puedo lograrlo

Ven, trata de entender
lo que hay en mi
Ven, entra al interior
verás al fin

Dentro, ¿quién soy yo

in reality?
The one that cries wanting to escape
The time came, I'll try
No one will stop me
I want to show you,
I know I can do it now

Come, try to understand
what's in me
Come, enter inside
you'll finally see

Inside, who am I

We always were the two, the best friends
And if I was afraid, you'd help me to continue
Forever friends me and you

He estado aquí
¿Que no recuerdas este sentimiento
de vacío como una tormenta?

Si nos quedamos juntos,

Y si luchamos por lo que tenemos,
nos ayudará, nos ayudará esta vez

Oh oh oh

Si es que pierdes fuerza,
yo la pierdo también
No te des por vencido aún,
que no te lo permitiré

Si nos quedamos juntos,
todo estará bien
Y si luchamos por lo que tenemos,
nos ayudará, nos ayudará, nos ayudará

Nos ayudará

Oh oh oh

If you lose strength,
i lose it too
Don't give up now,
because I won't let you

If we stay together,
everything will be good
And if we fight for what we have,

'''Haunting My Dreams''' (Japanese: '''シオン塔''' ''{{tt|Cion|Lavender}} Tower'') is the fourth chapter of the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

==Plot==
A weary {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} finally arrives in front of the [[Saffron Gym]] and challenges [[Sabrina]], but faints soon afterwards. Later, a fully restored Ash, alongside {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}}, eat and talk to Sabrina. She tells him that she had dreamed he was coming and Ash compliments her premonition skills. Soon afterwards, [[Brock]] arrives and joins in the conversation. He teases Ash about him not really coming to [[Saffron City]] only to challenge Sabrina. Ash, flustered, replies that it is indeed the only reason, much to Sabrina's cluelessness. Sabrina accepts Ash’s challenge and fights using an {{TP|Sabrina|Abra}} which was sleeping when the battle started. Sabrina tells Ash to go on with the battle since Abra can fight even while sleeping. Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunder Shock}}, but Abra {{m|teleport}}s away, dodging the attack. Pikachu tries using the same attack repeatedly, yet Abra kept teleporting and dodging each one. Eventually, one of the Thunder Shock attacks gets reflected and hits Pikachu, knocking him out, and making Ash lose the match.

Later at the [[Pokémon Center]], Ash expresses his amazement of {{t|Psychic}} Pokémon, and Sabrina warmly welcomes him to stay at the Gym for as long as he wants, since he could watch and learn how other [[Pokémon Trainer]]s battle. [[Nurse Joy]] appears and announces to Sabrina that she has a phone call to attend. Sabrina excused herself leaving the two boys, and then Brock tells Ash that he thinks that Ash has a weakness for cute girls. Ash confirms it, and they both shake hands in understanding. Ash then asks Brock what he is doing in Saffron City in the first place. Brock replies that he and Sabrina are old friends and he happened to be around. Ash prods further about being no further than old friends, but Brock asks to not rub it in, since he gets depressed easily. Sabrina picks up the phone, and she is told that something is back.

A week later, Sabrina lies unconscious in a hospital bed. The phone call she had received was about the [[Black Fog]], a high level {{p|Haunter}} who has been preying on people and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s souls for years. A group of Trainers explained what had happened. Sabrina had fallen prey to a Haunter’s {{m|Dream Eater}} attack and her soul had been sucked out. While most people had given up the fight, the group of Trainers vowed to get rid of the wretched Pokémon. Sabrina made the same vow since she wishes to exact revenge for her Pokémon who got wiped out by that Haunter back when she was eleven years old. But when she was helping her friends last time, she herself had her soul sucked out by the Haunter’s Dream Eater attack and ended up in a coma.

As they were talking, Abra suddenly moves and writes "[[Lavender Town]]" on a clipboard telepathically. The group then realized that it is Sabrina. Even if she had her soul sucked out, she can still tell them where she is through telepathy. Ash then assumes that she may still be alive, and Brock adds that there has been a person who came back to life after the Haunter was defeated and agrees that they could bring Sabrina back. Whipping out a [[Poké Ball]], Ash suddenly exclaims that he will be catching a Haunter. Brock scolds the young Trainer but Ash says that it is a Pokémon after all. Gleefully, he deduces that if it is big, they could always make a giant Poké Ball for it. The leader of the troupe laughs at Ash's idea yet quickly agreed. It is a Pokémon after all, and as such it is catchable.

The group quickly develops a giant Poké Ball and stationed themselves outside the [[Pokémon Tower]] in Lavender Town. The giant Poké Ball or Enormo Poké Ball XI has a capture net that is a hundred times more powerful than an ordinary Poké Ball, so normal Pokémon have no chance against it. Then they get a report of the Haunter sleeping in the Tower, and the leader quickly orders to move out. The first group enters the tower and lures out the {{p|Gastly}}, followers of the Haunter. After that, Ash enters and wakes the sleeping Haunter by throwing rocks at it. Brock is surprised that the gas Pokémon could take a solid shape. After throwing another rock, the Haunter charged at the Trainers. Ash and Brock quickly got their whole party to attack. Although the Haunter was too strong and presses everyone to the wall using a strong psychic attack.

Before any of the Pokémon could get crushed, Sabrina combines her powers with her Abra and neutralizes the Haunter's attack. The Haunter then uses {{m|Night Shade}}, to which Ash responds by commanding {{AP|Fearow}} to use {{m|Mirror Move}}. It reflected its attack but Haunter quickly uses Dream Eater, eating up the attack and defeating all the Pokémon with no effort. Having no more opponents, the Haunter goes for Abra. But Pikachu quickly got up, and saved Abra using {{m|Agility}}. The Haunter chased the two Pokémon out, luring it to the giant Poké Ball where it got caught. When everything seemed to be over, the Haunter uses {{m|Explosion}}. It destroyed the giant Poké Ball and escaped. The wounded leader said that even if it escaped, its health must be very low and now it can be caught with just an ordinary Poké Ball.

Following Sabrina's lead through Abra, Ash finds the Haunter hiding underground. Pikachu and Abra work together and manage to land a devastating {{m|Thunder}} attack on the Pokémon. Ash sees his chance and throws an {{ball|Ultra}}. Unfortunately, before it could reach the Pokémon, Haunter uses {{m|Self-Destruct}}, killing itself and causing the underground cavern to collapse. The moment Haunter dies, Sabrina wakes up and teleports Ash to safety, who was about to be crushed by falling debris.

They teleported back up to the surface and see the partly destroyed statue of a Haunter. Brock says that people used to worship Pokémon like gods in the past, and that maybe the Haunter was used to being worshipped, it would rather kill itself than get caught, fitting for a god. Sabrina started sobbing, saying that it can no longer hate the Pokémon, despite doing so for ten years. She threw herself to Brock and starts to cry it all out. Ash starts crying too as Brock tries to comfort Sabrina. Brock wonders if he's crying out of sympathy, but the boy replies that the Ball he threw and got destroyed was an Ultra Ball that he had bought with the last of his allowance.

List of references to Pokémon in popular culture

'''References to Pokémon in popular culture''' are instances where television shows, music and video clips, or other non-Pokémon medium explicitly refer to or show a Pokémon (or to a specific Pokémon). These are distinct from parodies (which feature deliberately resemble or mock Pokémon, without actually explicitly mentioning Pokémon by name). Likewise, species being scientifically named after Pokémon are considered references to Pokémon in popular culture). Similarities between character designs, especially for background characters, are not considered references.

==References in fiction shows and movies==

She then puts the hoodie on and goes to lay down on her bed, before flailing around.

| ''Umaru and Her Rival''
| After being told not to play with a cat souvenir, Umaru plays with it the next day alongside her hamster toys, calling it "Pocket Hamsters GK". She makes them battle, and during the battle, she starts by shouting "A wild Hamsaburou has appeared!" She then proceeds to summon the cat souvenir, shouting "Metal Nyankos! I choose you!" She makes the cat bob its head, saying that it makes Hamsaburou's defense fall while a health bar on the side of the screen drops by about half. She then reaches for a capsule to use to catch Hamsaburou, but trips and knocks the cat off the table, breaking it. Later, while trying to rebuild it, she remakes the head from scratch, but can't remember its face, and gives it a face similar to that of Pikachu's, with a voice shouting "Pukka!" Lastly, in between scenes, the room from the opening's reference appears, with a logo underneath it very similar to Pokémon's Japanese logo. Taihei walks up to a sleeping Umaru and tells her in a dialogue box "Umaru, starting today, you're a trainer!", to which she responds "Ugh, just five more minutes."

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

In a beautiful meadow, Ash’s Noibat accidentally runs into a Breloom, who attacks with its poisonous spores! Clemont doesn’t have any medicine, but a passing Floette sees Noibat in distress and uses Aromatherapy to cure it.

A sudden gust sends Floette flying, and Noibat takes off to rescue its new friend! The two are playing together when Breloom barges in with a bouquet for Floette and then gets angry when Floette isn’t interested. Noibat steps up to protect Floette from the unwanted attention—and then from Team Rocket! Soon, much more Floette drift by on the wind, and Noibat has to say goodbye as its friend continues its own journey.

==Plot==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}} find a meadow and decide to take a break. They send out their Pokémon as well. As {{AP|Noibat}} and {{AP|Talonflame}} fly around, Ash reminds them not to fly too far. Meanwhile, a {{p|Breloom}} in the forest is drawing a {{p|Floette}} in the dirt. He is also holding a bunch of flowers and appears to have three {{p|Beedrill}} following him. Noibat flies through the forest and ends up running into Breloom. [[Squishy]] is sunbathing as usual, when Bonnie comes from behind and squishes it. The scene cuts back into the forest, and Breloom gets up. He looks around and finds his flowers ruined by Noibat. Noibat apologizes, but the Beedrill surround him and Breloom is furious. He uses {{m|Poison Powder}} and Noibat cries out. The gang hear him and have their Pokémon return to their Poké Balls. Then, they run into the forest and find Noibat {{status|poisoned}}. Clemont is out of [[Antidote]]s and [[Pecha Berry|Pecha Berries]] to cure Noibat's poison, and everyone starts to worry. However, a passing {{p|Floette}} floats down and uses {{m|Aromatherapy}} on the ailing Pokémon. Serena opens her [[Pokédex]] and scans Floette. Noibat is now healed of his poisoning.

{{TRT}} is hiding in a tree, and [[Jessie]] remarks how Floette could be a sidekick with {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}} in a [[Pokémon Showcase]]. However, {{MTR}} wants the two to swap positions and [[James]] adds that Floette is cuter. Jessie then tells them off and says that Gourgeist is cuter. Serena reads from her Pokédex that many Floette gather around this time every year in the field. Suddenly, a gust of wind blows and Floette is blown up, and then starts to fall. Noibat catches her and plays with her. Breloom is very upset to see the two get along well. Clemont says that a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon like Noibat shouldn't get along well with a {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon like Floette. Bonnie tells him to 'lighten up'. {{AP|Hawlucha}} also agrees that Noibat and Floette are a great pair. Breloom and the Beedrill show themselves again. Serena then opens her Pokédex again and scans Breloom. Breloom orders Beedrill to harrass Noibat. He tries to fly away, but they follow them. Noibat is so terrified of the Beedrill's sharp stingers that he falls and Floette floats to the ground. Breloom begins to confess his feelings to Floette. Bonnie tells the gang that Breloom has a crush on Floette, leaving them appalled. He reveals his new bouquet of flowers. Serena now understands that he didn't like Noibat and Floette acting so friendly.

However, Floette turns away, disinterested. Then, Breloom is angry again and pulls her back. Bonnie realizes that Floette doesn't like him. As Breloom walks away, Ash notices that Noibat wants to save Floette. Noibat rushes in to attack, but Breloom easily dodges and Noibat flies into a tree. Floette is worried, but Noibat gets up to face Breloom again. This time, Breloom orders the Beedrill to stay out of the scene as he challenges Noibat to a one-on-one battle, deciding to put Floette at stake. Serena tells Ash to stop them, but he says he can't do anything. Breloom starts with {{m|Seed Bomb}}, which Noibat counters with {{m|Supersonic}}. However, he could not see Breloom following up with {{m|Headbutt}} in the smoke and was hit. Noibat gets back up but is tossed into the air by Sky Uppercut. {{AP|Pikachu}} wants to help Noibat, but Hawlucha stops him. Ash says that Noibat must take Breloom on all by himself. Team Rocket is still up in the tree. Jessie wonders what the gang is doing. Meowth tells her that there is a battle that they are watching. Jessie reminds them that they must execute their plan. Noibat charges at Breloom again, but still missed. Then, Breloom approaches with {{m|Cut}}, but Noibat manages to dodge him. Ash cheers him on as Noibat attacks Breloom on the leg. However, Breloom stretches himself to grab onto Noibat and charge with Headbutt. Noibat is badly hurt and close to fainting. As Breloom prepared for another strike, Floette stops him. Breloom doesn't want her interfering with their battle, but they end up trapped in a net. Team Rocket reveal themselves and say their motto.

Breloom struggles in the net, but Team Rocket moves off and disappears in a cloud of smoke. The Beedrill and Noibat begin to worry, but Ash says that they will rescue Breloom and Floette. Clermont reveals another one of his machines, which he calls the Aroma Detector. It looks like a {{p|Probopass}} attached to a sensor. Bonnie stares at him blankly and asks if it will blow up. Clemont responds with confidence that there won't be an explosion. The machine picks up a scent and points to a direction, in which everyone heads toward. Breloom furiously shakes the cage as Team Rocket celebrate their victory. Meowth starts to think about them failing again, but James and Jessie tell him to be happy for them. Floette looks out sadly, and Breloom attempts to court Floette again, failing as he did before. As the gang get closer, the machine begins to heat up. Eventually, it explodes and everyone is covered in dust. Bonnie says that she knew that that would happen. Ash asks Noibat to use Supersonic to find Breloom and Floette, and Noibat starts flying towards a direction. The gang follows and the scene cuts to Team Rocket still celebrating. Then, James says that they will give their efforts to the boss and they were excited about getting a big promotion. When they notice Ash and the gang, they get startled and demand them to stop ruining their victory. Ash says that they won't get away with it, and Serena tells them to let Breloom and Floette go.

James sends out {{TP|James|Inkay}}, using {{m|Psybeam}} and knocking out the Beedrill. Noibat and Bonnie rush to take care of Breloom and Floette. Then, Jessie sends out Gourgeist, using Seed Bomb. Ash tells Pikachu to counter with {{m|Electro Ball}} and Hawlucha uses {{m|X-Scissor}}. Then, Inkay charges up to use Psybeam again. Clemont sends out {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}} to use {{m|Swift}}. Meanwhile, Noibat attempts to push into the cage to break Breloom and Floette out. However, the cage isn't dented at all and Noibat falls to the ground. Noibat goes for another strike but fails again. Another hit and the cage still isn't broken. Bonnie wants Noibat to stop before he hurts himself. However, Noibat flies up and strikes with his newly learned move, {{m|Acrobatics}}. The cage is broken and Team Rocket is shocked. Breloom hands Floette to Noibat. Inkay and Gourgeist are called for a double, powerful attack. However, before they could charge, Ash orders Noibat to attack with his newly learned Acrobatics. Breloom also rushes in with Headbutt, sending Team Rocket blasting off again. Ash and Hawlucha then praise Noibat. The Beedrill return to Breloom, as he finally gets on good terms with Noibat.

Later that evening, Breloom attempts to court Floette once more, but when he is rejected, he pulls her back again. Noibat comes in to stop them, and they argue once again. Ash and Serena see the argument and say that Breloom can't let go of Floette. Suddenly, another gust of wind blows. Floette is blown away and gives her farewell to the gang. Breloom is confused and distressed, and the gang notices that Floette has joined a big group of other Floette. Serena remarks that this was the group of Floette that visit the flower field once a year. The gang then say their farewell, and Breloom is now really upset. Hawlucha comes to cheer him up, and Ash suggests that they continue their journey to [[Snowbelle City]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Ash V2.png|200px|thumb|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
* [[Poké TV]]: "Burn! Pokémon Challenge!!" focusing on {{p|Hawlucha}}.
* {{an|Serena}} reads the title card for this episode.
* Serena narrates the preview for the [[XY105|next episode]].
* [[Ash's Noibat]] is confirmed to be male in this episode.
** [[Ash's Hawlucha]] is also confirmed to be male in this episode's [[Poké TV]].
* [[Team Rocket's Team Song]] and [[Brilliantly]] are used as insert songs in this episode.

===Errors===
* When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are relaxing at the flower field, {{an|Bonnie}} is sitting at the table. When the camera focuses on [[Squishy]], Bonnie is hiding behind the rock it's standing on.
* In the dub, when Noibat saved Floette from falling, Noibat's Japanese voice can be heard when they're circling in the air.
** This may have been done so Floette's voice could be retained, however.
* In one scene, {{AP|Noibat}}'s eyelids are colored light-purple instead of black.
* When James commands {{TP|James|Inkay}} to use {{m|Psybeam}}, it is seen charging up the move, but in the next shot when {{an|Clemont}} sends out {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}} to battle, Inkay is shown just getting ready to charge up the attack, despite already starting to do so in the previous shot.
* {{p|Breloom}} hit [[Jessie's Gourgeist]] with {{m|Headbutt}}, even though it should have no effect on a {{t|Ghost}} type.

===Dub edits===
* The title card segment is read by Ash instead of Serena.
* In the dub, when Jessie sends {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}} to battle, she tells her to "teach them to be polite", instead of commanding her to use {{m|Seed Bomb}} like in the Japanese version.
* When [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] recites the motto, a new music is inserted instead of [[Team Rocket's Team Song]].

==Blurb==

Having defeated Clair and earned his eighth gym badge, Ash must now set out for the Johto League championship, which he learns is to be held on Mt Silver in three months time. As Ash heads toward New Bark Town, where he will register for entry in this competition, he is stopped by two reporters who ask for a shot of the trainer making his triumphant return. The reporters turn out to be none other than Jessie and James of Team Rocket. They trick Ash out of all eight of his badges, but the plan backfires when a passing Wynaut steals the badges from Wobbuffet. Remembering each of the eight victories that earned him these badges, Ash sets out after Team Rocket, determined to get back what is rightfully his.

==Plot==
While they are still in [[Blackthorn City]], {{Ash}} and friends are sitting on [[Clair]]'s outdoor balcony at the Gym, eating breakfast with her. After some discussion, Ash plans to go to [[New Bark Town]] to register for the Johto [[Silver Conference]] now that he has all eight [[Badge]]s even though the Silver Conference is in three months. {{TRT}} has plans of their own, and they decide to steal Ash's Badges for their own purposes. {{MTR}} and [[James]] want to sell the Badges, while [[Jessie]] wants to enter the Silver Conference using them. In the midst of their discussion Team Rocket's food is stolen, with Wobbuffet receiving the blame.

Jessie and James pose as a reporter and cameraman just as Ash and friends are walking out of the gates. Jessie takes Ash's jacket and hands it to Meowth, who is hidden behind a photographer's background, whilst James puts Ash into an oversized red coat and golden crown. Ash poses for several photos, and Meowth and Wobbuffet are admiring Ash's now stolen Badges. Jessie then returns Ash's jacket and begins to walk away. Ash utters the word prepared, and suddenly, Jessie and James stop in their tracks attempting to resist the urge to say their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]]. Ash mentions the word trouble, and Team Rocket instinctively reveal their true identities. Meowth and James tell Ash that they have come for his Badges. Ash peers inside his coat, noticing that the eight Badges have been replaced with bottle caps.

Ash and friends give chase to Team Rocket, while {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} is further ahead with the Badge case and decides to rest on a marked ledge with a 'Jessie' flag on it. Wobbuffet then moves from its position, locating red Berry-filled trees. Wobbuffet imagines Jessie, James, and Meowth happily thanking it and stuffing their faces with the Berry. It fills the Badge carrying case with the Berries as a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Wynaut}} watches hidden behind some shrubs. The Wynaut's appendages reach over and grab the case filled with the Berries and Ash's Badges. Wobbuffet quickly notices and the two Pokémon have an interchange. Jessie and the gang suddenly arrive, startling Wobbuffet and giving Wynaut time to flee. Unable to locate the case, Wobbuffet tries to explain what happened, with Meowth translating its accounts and Wobbuffet drawing a picture of Wynaut in the dirt. James believes that the drawing was of his childhood nanny, but after Wobbuffet states that the thief was blue, Jessie believes a {{p|Wooper}} stole the Badges, and they try to find one.

While Ash tries on his own to try to find the Badges. Clair mentions that Ash could have the Badges reissued. Ash acknowledges this, though states those particular Badges had special meaning and he begins to reminisce about all of his Gym challenges in the Johto region, from [[Falkner]] to Clair.

Team Rocket suddenly stumble across a Wooper sitting on a rock in the middle of a running stream. She attempts to grab it with her hands, but it dodges the trio and runs into the forest with Jessie, James and Meowth trailing behind. Meanwhile, Ash calls upon {{AP|Noctowl}} and {{AP|Bayleef}} to search through the forest, alongside Clair who is riding her [[Clair's Dragonair|Dragonair]]. Misty and Brock stay together whilst Ash goes in a different direction to find Team Rocket. Noctowl and Bayleef find Wynaut, the Badges, and some berries it has in a case. Wynaut is having trouble opening the case, so Bayleef lends its vines and returns the case back to Wynaut. With glee the blue Pokémon tips the contents of the case onto the ground, and to Bayleef's astonishment, Ash's Badges also fall out. Noctowl flies off, locating Ash by a stream and notifies him of the find.

Bayleef has since gathered the Badges on a large leaf. Wynaut's snack is suddenly interrupted when Wooper followed by Team Rocket appear. Team Rocket state Wooper led them there. {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}} are sent out to deal with the situation. Bayleef jumps backwards holding both Wooper and the leaf of Badges to avoid Arbok's {{m|Poison Sting}}. Victreebel's {{m|Vine Whip}} trips the fleeing Bayleef, separating it from the Badges. Jessie again calls for a Poison Sting attack, but the Wynaut's {{m|Counter}} intercepts, sending the attack back towards Arbok. Just as Meowth retrieves the Badges from the ground. Ash arrives on the scene. Arbok uses Poison Sting again, this time allowing Team Rocket to escape to their awaiting Meowth balloon. Bayleef's Vine Whip send Ash flying towards Team Rocket. He narrowly misses the balloon's basket, and begins falling to the ground. Noctowl quickly tries to catch him by the bag, but it slips from its grip. Clair and Dragonair then arrive to the scene and manage to rescue Ash.

Ash gets Noctowl to pick Pikachu up from the ground, reaching the escaping Team Rocket soon after. Pikachu lets out a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and the balloon bursts sending Team Rocket flying. Ash and crew manage to rescue seven of the eight Badges, with only the Rising Badge missing. The group disperse once again to find the missing Badge in the surrounding greenery. Wynaut appears from the bushes, with the Rising Badge in hand, and hands it to Bayleef. Bayleef then gives the Badge to Ash who is searching nearby, when Bayleef tries to give credit to Wynaut for finding it, it disappears. A ship carrying logs suddenly travels past them through a stream nearby with Wynaut waving from it, though by the time Ash looks up, both the ship and Wynaut have passed through. Misty, Clair, and Brock gather near Ash, where he shows them that the Badge has been recovered.

The group later talks to [[Professor Oak]] via the video phone in the Pokémon Center. Ash announces that he has all eight of his Johto Badges. The call ends abruptly, however, when [[Ash's Snorlax]], {{AP|Kingler}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and {{AP|Muk}} become too enthusiastic, crushing Professor Oak. Now that Ash has all eight Badges, Clair tells Ash to follow a road to the sea, then to follow the coastline to reach New Bark Town, which she estimates will take a day or so, to register for the Johto League Silver Conference. The group wave goodbye to Clair and begin to head towards their next destination.

==Trivia==
[[File:EP255 wrong title.png|thumb|200px|''Why? Why Not!'']]
[[File:EP255 right title.png|thumb|200px|''Why? Wynaut!'']]
* One version, such as certain broadcasts and the {{DL|List of English language Master Quest home video releases (Region 1)|Box sets|first US home video release}}, has the erroneous title ''Why? Why Not!'', somewhat ignoring the intended pun. Another version, including the version streaming on [[Pokémon TV]] and the {{DL|List of English language Master Quest home video releases (Region 1)|The Complete Collection|second US home video release}}, gives the title correct as ''Why? Wynaut!'', making the pun clearer.
** Some dubs, like Iberian Spanish, use translations of the first title whereas others, like Latin American Spanish, use the second.
* Throughout the entire Blackthorn City arc, {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Wynaut}} is never seen by a human. This perhaps accounts for its perceived rarity outside of [[Hoenn]].
* This is one of the few times in the anime a member of {{TRT}} (in this case, [[Jessie]]) refers to {{Ash}} by his name and not "[[twerp]]" or "brat". The first time was in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'' when Meowth was cheering for Pikachu and Ash, the second time was in ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'' when Jessie was talking about how the crowd was cheering for Ash, and the third time was in ''[[EP245|Will the Real Oak Please Stand Up]]'' when she addresses {{an|Brock}} as "Brock".
** They were in disguise during the first, third and fourth incidents.
* This is the only episode where a Pokémon from a future [[Generation]] is used in ''Dare da?'' — its [[Pokédex]] number is listed as ''???''.
* Music from ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]'' can be heard during Wobbuffet's fantasy.
* In the original Japanese version, {{p|Wobbuffet}} and {{p|Wynaut}}'s conversation contains a pun that was lost in translation. Their Japanese names, ソーナノ (Wynaut) and ソーナンス (Wobbuffet) translates into "Really?" and "That's right!" respectively.
* This episode is featured on ''Pokémon All-Stars: Wobbuffet'' from {{wp|Magna Pacific}}'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 4}} series.

===Errors===

* When remembering his Badges, Ash says he received the {{Badge|Glacier}} twice. The first one was actually the {{Badge|Zephyr}}.
* Meowth was holding the leaf that had Ash's Badges in it, then it shows Meowth holding nothing, and then holding the leaf again.
* Ash says he won his Plain Badge from Whitney in the [[Goldenrod Gym]]; however, this is incorrect as he won it on her uncle's Miltank farm. However, it's highly possible he was referring to how she is the Gym Leader at Goldenrod.
* In the recap of the previous episode, the {{m|Seismic Toss}} animation is flawed.
* There is a repeated frame when Team Rocket finds Ash's Badges.

Game mascot

The '''mascot''' of a {{pkmn|games|Pokémon game}} is the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that appears on the boxart—and often label—of that game.

Early on, the mascot of a game was not necessarily relevant plot-wise, and did not have to be even met to complete the game. [[Generation III]] (with the exception of the [[Generation I]] [[remake]]s) began the trend of the game mascot being mandatory to encounter in order to progress the plot, and more recent games even force the player to catch the mascot to continue. Game mascot Pokémon are often given increased [[catch rate]]s and the ability to respawn if they are defeated in order to account for this. All game mascots after [[Generation I]] have been [[Legendary Pokémon]], barring Generation I's remakes.

In general, only [[core series]] games have mascots, as most [[Spin-off Pokémon games|side series and spin-off games]] display multiple Pokémon on their box covers and so none of them qualify as mascots. The only current exception to this is the side series game [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

'''Professor Willow''' (Japanese: '''ウィロー博士''' ''Dr. Willow'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] who appears in the [[Pokémon GO]] mobile game. Similar to [[Professor Birch]], he specializes in Pokémon habitats and distribution. Unlike other Professors who directly give {{pkmn|Trainer}}s their first Pokémon, Professor Willow gives Trainers their first {{ball|Poké}}s to capture their first Pokémon.

==Transferring Pokémon==
The player can transfer Pokémon to Professor Willow using the "Transfer" option on the status screen in exchange for 1 [[Candy]] for that Pokémon's evolutionary family. A Pokémon transferred to the Professor is permanently lost, equivalent to [[Released Pokémon|releasing]] a Pokémon in the [[core series]] games.

==Assistants==
[[File:GO Professors Assistants.png|250px|thumb|left|Candela, Blanche and Spark.]]
Professor Willow has three assistants who each are head of a {{DL|Pokémon GO|Teams|team}}, that research Pokémon in different ways. They perform this research inside Gyms owned by their respective teams, with each team's mascot being one of the [[Legendary birds]].

His assistants are:
:'''Spark''' (Japanese: '''スパーク''' ''Spark'')
::''Team Instinct'' (Japanese: '''チーム・インスティンクト''' ''Team Instinct'')
:::He is researching [[Pokémon breeding]], and Team Instinct Trainers believe a Pokémon's intuition is linked to how they are hatched. They are represented by {{p|Zapdos}}.

:'''Blanche''' (Japanese: '''ブランシェ''' ''Blanche'')
::''Team Mystic'' (Japanese: '''チーム・ミスティック''' ''Team Mystic'')
:::She is researching Pokémon [[Evolution]], and Team Mystic Trainers believe that by staying calm and analysing every situation, they can't lose. They are represented by {{p|Articuno}}.

:'''Candela''' (Japanese: '''キャンデラ''' ''Candela'')
::''Team Valor'' (Japanese: '''チーム・ヴァーラー''' ''Team Valor'')
:::She is researching Pokémon strength, and Team Valor Trainers believe that their Pokémon are the strongest because they train to naturally enhancing a Pokémon's power in search of true strength. They are represented by {{p|Moltres}}.

==Quotes==
;Intro
:''"Hello there! I am Professor Willow. Did you know that this world is inhabited by creatures knows as Pokémon? Pokémon can be found in every corner of the earth. Some run across the plains, others fly through the skies, some live in the mountains, or in the forests, or near water... I have spent my whole life studying them and their regional distribution. Will you help me with my research? That's great! I was just looking for someone like you to help! You'll need to find and collect Pokémon from everywhere! Now, choose your style for your adventure."''

;After customizing avatar
:''"There's a Pokémon nearby! Here are some Poké Balls. These will help you catch one!"''

;After catching starter
:''"Congratulations! You've caught your first Pokémon! You are such a talented Pokémon Trainer! What should I call you?"''
:''"Oh, what a cool nickname! Nice to meet you! You will need more Poké Balls and other useful items during your exploration. You can find items at PokéStops. They're found at interesting places like sculptures and monuments. From now on, you'll be off exploring all over the world. I hope you get out there and catch Pokémon—and register them in your Pokédex! It's time to GO!"''

;Trying to enter a Gym while below Trainer level 5
:''"This is a Gym, a place where you'll test your skills at Pokémon battles. It looks like you don't have much experience as a Pokémon Trainer yet. Come back when you've reached level 5!"''

;First time entering a Gym
:''"Wow! Looks like you've caught a bunch of Pokémon and gained a lot of experience as a Pokémon Trainer, huh? Great work! It looks like you're about ready to start participating in Pokémon battles! I have three excellent assistants. They each direct a team, and each has a slightly different approach to researching Pokémon. Part of their research is conducting Pokémon battles at Gyms. They're apparently excited to have you joining as a team member."''

;Tips or Quick Start
:''"This is a PokéStop. It's a real-world location where you can find Poké Balls and other items. The PokéStop will change its shape when you walk close enough. Tap it to interact with it. Spin the Photo Disc to generate items. Tap or swipe the items to collect them."''
:''"This is a Gym. Teams battle for control of these real-world locations. Assign one of your Pokémon to an open Gym to claim it for your team. Strengthen a friendly Gym by assigning one of your Pokémon to help defend it. Train the Pokémon at a friendly Gym to increase the Gym's Prestige and level. Challenge a rival Gym to lower its Prestige and level. During battle, swipe right or left to dodge incoming attacks."''

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon GO''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|Pokémon|ポケモン}} GO}}''') is a multiplayer, location-based, {{wp|augmented reality}} Pokémon game for {{wp|iOS}} and {{wp|Android (operating system)|Android}}. The game is a collaboration between [[The Pokémon Company]], [[Nintendo]], and [[Niantic]], Inc., and is {{wp|Freemium|free to download}} with in-app purchases. It was released in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, most of Europe, Canada, and Japan on a staggered schedule starting on July 6, 2016, and is scheduled to be released in Latin America, South America, and Russia soon.

The game was announced at a press conference in Japan on September 10, 2015. Field tests for Pokémon GO were held from March 29, 2016 through June 30, 2016.

The game is compatible with the [[Pokémon GO Plus]], an upcoming {{wp|Bluetooth}} device that allows players to enjoy the game without looking at their phone.

==Blurb==
Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Pikachu, and many other Pokémon have been discovered on planet Earth!

Now’s your chance to discover and capture the Pokémon all around you—so get your shoes on, step outside, and explore the world. You’ll join one of three teams and battle for the prestige and ownership of Gyms with your Pokémon at your side.

Pokémon are out there, and you need to find them. As you walk around a neighborhood, your smartphone will vibrate when there’s a Pokémon nearby. Take aim and throw a Poké Ball… You’ll have to stay alert, or it might get away!

Search far and wide for Pokémon and items

Certain Pokémon appear near their native environment—look for Water-type Pokémon by lakes and oceans. Visit PokéStops, found at interesting places like museums, art installations, historical markers, and monuments, to stock up on Poké Balls and helpful items.

Catching, hatching, evolving, and more

As you level up, you’ll be able to catch more-powerful Pokémon to complete your Pokédex. You can add to your collection by hatching Pokémon Eggs based on the distances you walk. Help your Pokémon evolve by catching many of the same kind.

Take on Gym battles and defend your Gym

As your Charmander evolves to Charmeleon and then Charizard, you can battle together to defeat a Gym and assign your Pokémon to defend it against all comers.

It’s time to get moving—your real-life adventures await!

Note: This app is free-to-play and is optimized for smartphones, not tablets.

==Gameplay==
[[File:GO Guide Catch 3.png|thumb|200px|Encountering a wild Rattata, with AR mode disabled]]
In the game, [[wild Pokémon]] appear on a map of the real world, with the player moving in the game by travelling in the real world. When a Pokémon is nearby, the player's phone vibrates. The player can encounter a nearby Pokémon by tapping it in the Map View. Different kinds of Pokémon will appear in different environments; for example, {{type|Water}} Pokémon are more common near water. The player is assisted by [[Professor Willow]] throughout the game. Players can login using a [[Pokémon Trainer Club]] account or a Google account.

In a wild encounter, the player attempts to capture a wild Pokémon in a [[Poké Ball]] before it runs away. Unlike in the [[core series]] games, these encounters do not involve battle. At higher levels, the player can use [[Razz Berry|Razz Berries]] to make wild Pokémon easier to catch or use more powerful Poké Balls like {{ball|Great}}s and {{ball|Ultra}}. While holding a press on a Poké Ball, a ring will appear around the Pokémon. This ring shrinks over time; once it reaches its smallest size it immediately returns to full size and the cycle repeats. If the Poké Ball is thrown while the ring is very small, the capture is more likely to be successful.

The game can be played as an {{wp|augmented reality}} (AR) game, so that in wild encounters and Gym battles the Pokémon appear to be in the real world when looking at the smart device's screen. However, it is also possible to disable this functionality, which saves battery power and is necessary on some devices which do not support AR.

Catching and hatching Pokémon earns the player [[Candy]], which can be spent to [[evolution|evolve]] or [[Power Up]] Pokémon. Each evolutionary family has its own type of Candy ({{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}} have separate Candy), so in order to evolve a Pokémon the player needs to catch a number of Pokémon from that same evolutionary family. If a player wants to get rid of a Pokémon, they can transfer it to Professor Willow, who will permanently keep the Pokémon but give 1 Candy in return.

There are two main types of locations in Pokémon GO: [[PokéStop]]s and {{OBP|Gym|GO}}s. PokéStops and Gyms exist at pre-defined real world locations, and the player must be within range of them in order to interact with them (although they can be inspected as long as they shown up in the Map View). Players can obtain items and {{pkmn|Egg}}s by visiting PokéStops, whereas players fight for control of Gyms.

Players can customize their appearance, such as clothing and accessories, which can be shown to other players. Players have a [[Pokémon Trainer]] level that, when raised by catching many Pokémon, allows them to find more kinds of Pokémon to complete the [[Pokédex]].

[[PokéCoin]]s can be obtained in-game or via in-app purchases with real money. They can be traded for extra items and other enhancements.

===Available Pokémon===
Only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] are currently available in the game. Evolved Pokémon can be caught in the wild, but currently {{p|Ditto}}, {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] have not been found in the wild. Pokémon from other [[generation]]s may be made available in the future.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqbsdqjgj-k Pokémon GO - Demonstration - Nintendo E3 2016]</ref>

The player may choose from the three [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] at the beginning of the game: {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}. If the player walks away from the starter Pokémon four times, {{p|Pikachu}} will also appear as a possible starter Pokémon. These Pokémon may also be found in the wild later on.

Which Pokémon {{p|Eevee}} evolves into is normally random. However, if Eevee is nicknamed after one of the [[Eevee brothers]] before evolving, it will evolve into their respective evolution: Sparky for {{p|Jolteon}}, Rainer for {{p|Vaporeon}}, and Pyro for {{p|Flareon}}.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4t0cpo/psa_how_to_force_your_eevee_to_evolve_into_your/?st=iqo9zize&sh=66e8bdd1</ref>

{{p|Farfetch'd}} appears to be region-exclusive, currently only being found in Asia.

===Locations===
There are two main types of locations in Pokémon GO: [[PokéStop]]s and {{OBP|Gym|GO}}s. PokéStops and Gyms exist at pre-defined real world locations, and the player must be within range of them in order to interact with them (although they can be inspected as long as they shown up in the Map View).

The locations of PokéStops and Gyms are based on a selection of portals from the Niantic game {{wp|Ingress (video game)|Ingress}}. Until 2015, Ingress players could submit proposals for portals which subsequently had to be approved by Niantic.

PokéStops allow players to obtain items and Eggs by spinning the Photo Disc. At Gyms, players can battle to weaken those belonging to opposing teams or strengthen those belonging to their own team; a player can earn {{OBP|Stardust|GO}} and [[PokéCoin]]s by holding onto Gyms. PokéStops are much more common than Gyms.

Depending on where a player lives, PokéStops and Gyms may be very common or very sparse, tending to be more common in urban areas due to a higher population density resulting in more Ingress players in those areas. If there are no nearby PokéStops, the player will can only obtain Poké Balls by leveling up or purchasing them with PokéCoins; if there are no nearby Gyms, the player can only obtain PokéCoins by purchasing them with real currency.

===Teams===
[[File:GO Professors Assistants.png|300px|thumb|The Team Leaders, Candela, Blanche and Spark.]]
After the player reaches level 5, they can choose a team by tapping a Gym. There are three teams: Team Instinct (yellow) whose leader is Spark, Team Mystic (blue) whose leader is Blanche, and Team Valor (red) whose leader is Candela. A Gym can only be controlled by one team at a time. If a Gym is controlled by the player's team, they can train at it and add one of their own Pokémon to defend it. If a Gym is controlled by a rival team, the player can battle it to decrease its Prestige; when a Gym's Prestige reaches zero, the player can claim it for their own team.

===PokéCoins===
[[File:PokéCoin.png|thumb|100px|A PokéCoin]]
{{main|PokéCoin}}
PokéCoins are the in-app currency used in Pokémon GO. There are two ways of obtaining PokéCoins: the {{OBP|Gym|GO}} Defender bonus or by purchasing them with real money.

To obtain the Defender bonus, the player must open the Shop menu and tap the shield icon while they have a Pokémon in at least one Gym. They will earn {{OBP|Stardust|GO}} and 10 PokéCoins for each Gym they currently hold, being able to obtain this bonus once every 21 hours.

===Experience===

Leveling up awards the player with items, and certain levels unlock particular items. After reaching level 5, the player can choose a team, which allows them to use {{OBP|Gym|GO}}s. As the player's level increases, their Pokémon are able to achieve a higher Combat Power as the player powers them up.

===Eggs===

Walkthrough:Pokémon GO/Gyms

2016-07-13T01:33:51Z

Masatoshi:

==Basics of Gyms in Pokémon GO==
[[File:GO Guide Gym 1.png|thumb|150px|A Gym nearby, claimed by Team Mystic, with a {{p|Pidgeot}} as its strongest Pokémon.]]
The {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Gym]] challenge has been the core of the Pokémon narrative for over twenty years now, and as such the Gym mechanic of [[Pokémon GO]] is arguably the most complex and nuanced feature of the game. Before [[Pokémon Trainer|trainers]] can even begin claiming Gyms in Pokémon GO they must have reached Trainer [[Level]] 5. If you are not yet Level 5, you are encouraged to get back out there and catch every Pokémon you see and visit every [[PokéStop]] you can. Before long you'll be ready to begin battling Gyms and claim them for your own.

Upon reaching Trainer Level 5 you'll be prompted to choose one of three teams.
* Team Instinct is represented by {{p|Zapdos}} and led by [[Professor Willow#Assistants|Spark]]. They value Pokémon breeding and state that there's no losing if you trust your instincts.
* Team Mystic is represented by {{p|Articuno}} and led by [[Professor Willow#Assistants|Blanche]]. They value Pokémon evolution and state that calm analysis is the key for victory.
* Team Valor is represented by {{p|Moltres}} and led by [[Professor Willow#Assistants|Candela]]. They value training, battling, and pure strength.

Currently, your team affiliation is permanent and affects only how you interact with Gyms. All other aspects are merely cosmetic.

In Pokémon GO, like the [[core series]] games, players can challenge Pokémon Gyms, which are shown on the map as large towers. If a tower is visible on your screen it can be selected from any distance away and its information can be scouted. The Gym screen will always show the Pokémon stationed there, the Pokémon's CP, the Trainers who have claimed the Gym (if any), the Trainer's level, and the battles won by the victorious Pokémon. Once the Pokémon is defeated it will be removed from the Gym and its stats will disappear.

If the tower is colorless, it means that the Gym is without an owner at the moment. You can give it a Pokémon so that you can gain control of the Gym immediately. Gyms automatically begin at level 2, allowing up to two Pokémon to be stationed there. A Pokémon placed in a Gym cannot be removed until it is defeated by a challenging Trainer, at which point the Pokémon will return to your collection so you can use it again. This Pokémon will return at 1 HP, so remember to use healing items to restore your Pokémon's health.

However, if the tower is colored red, yellow, or blue it means that one or more Trainers have claimed the location for their team. Trainers on the same team can use their team's Gyms to train or fortify the Gym itself. Trainers on opposing teams will be prompted to challenge the Gym, potentially even to claim it in their team's color.

==Training==
Let's create a short scenario: You are a Trainer aligned with Team Mystic and across the street from your house is a Gym that has also been claimed by Team Mystic. This Gym can be used as a training spot for your own Pokémon. Defeating the defending Pokémon will make earn experience for both Pokémon and Prestige points for the Gym. Don't worry, you don't have to defeat all Gym defenders to earn experience and Prestige. Each Pokémon you defeat will yield at least some rewards. In addition, your Pokémon cannot faint during training battles, instead remaining at a minimum of 1 HP.

Raising Prestige points for the team will increase the Gym's overall level and will allow more friendly Trainers to defend it from being claimed by rival teams. Currently, the maximum level and amount of Pokémon that can be stationed at a Gym is 10.

==Defeating a Gym==
[[File:GO Guide Gym 4.png|thumb|150px|A trainer has defeated the Gym, losing all its prestige, the Gym is now neutral and up for grabs.]]
Like in the core series games, you will need to make use of strategies to defeat the Gym Leader or Leaders. Things such as [[type]] effectiveness can play a big role on defeating them, but the most important thing to take into account is knowing their Combat Power (CP).

You should use your strongest Pokémon during the battle. It could take a few battles to claim a Gym as yours, especially when there are more Pokémon to defeat. A battle of attrition makes the Gym lose their Prestige level, reducing the number of usable Pokémon and improving the chances of defeating the Gym. However, if you lose at the Gym, this will award the winner Prestige, also allowing them to level up this way, so make sure to play your cards right.

Pokémon that are stationed at Gyms will be ordered by CP with the weakest being fought first and the strongest being fought last. In addition, the strongest Pokémon in the Gym will be marked with a crown icon on the Gym home screen, signifying that they are the ''Gym Leader''.

You may need to battle a Gym multiple times in order to fully claim it. Gyms will lose approximately one level for each time you defeat its full compliment of defenders. As a Gym loses levels it will also lose defending Pokémon. If you can get a Gym down to Level 1 with a prestige of 0 you will have defeated the Gym completely.

Once defeated the Gym tower will be colorless and will no longer be affiliated with any team. Deposit one of your Pokémon in the now vacant Gym in order to claim it for you and your team. Remember, only Pokémon will full hit points can be deposited in Gyms.

For now Gyms are the only places where you can fight in Pokémon battles.

===Choosing your Pokémon team===
As stated previously, when challenging an enemy Gym, you can choose up to six Pokémon; when you are training in a friendly Gym, you can only choose one. Look at which types of Pokémon you'll be battling and pick your team accordingly, bearing in mind the type of Pokémon and whether its type is super effective or not. Type matchups have not changed from the core series.

Another important aspect of choosing your team, is to look at the Pokémon's CP. The bigger the CP is, the stronger the Pokémon will be. However, don't always focus entirely on a Pokémon's CP. Although difficult, it's possible for a Pokémon even six hundred points weaker to overpower its opponent through type effectiveness alone.

===Gym battles===
[[File:GO Guide Gym 3.png|thumb|150px|A Pokémon battle, for now only available in Gyms, eventually, Pokémon will be able to battle outside them.]]
In Pokémon GO, battles can only be conducted at Gyms. Battles are not turn-based, and they are not conducted directly between two players. Rather, your opponent is always under AI control. Battles are also timed, limited to 100 seconds.

Depending on whether the Gym is a rival Gym or a friendly Gym, the format will be slightly different.
* At a rival Gym...
** You will choose six of your own Pokémon to battle one or more Pokémon from the Gym.
** If you lose, your Pokémon faint.
* At a friendly Gym...
** You will choose one of your own Pokémon to train against a single Pokémon from the Gym.
** If you lose, your Pokémon will return to your collection with 1 HP.

During a battle, you can make your Pokémon perform three basic actions.
* '''Dodge''': swipe left or right on the screen.
* '''Fast attack''': tap your Pokémon.
* '''Special attack''': hold a long press on your Pokémon; BUT, this can only be used after the special attack meter is charged!
Basic type effectiveness also plays an important role, exactly like in the core games, but there does not appear to be any [[same-type attack bonus]].

Two buttons in the bottom-right of the screen will also allow you to forfeit the battle (top) or switch to another Pokémon on your team (bottom).

===Dodging===
Dodging can prove vital to prolonging a low-powered Pokémon's fight against a high-powered opponent! When a Pokémon is about to use its secondary attack a message will appear above its head. Do your best to avoid these attacks.

But beware! Successfully dodging an attack is about timing. Even if you're out of your opponent's apparent line of attack, if you don't dodge at the right time, you can still get hit.

===Moves===
All Pokémon have two moves, as seen on their summary screen (under the label "8" seen [https://support.pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/hc/en-us/articles/222049867-Viewing-a-Pok%C3%A9mon-s-Summary- here]). The first move listed is the Pokémon's '''fast attack''', and the second is its '''special attack'''.

====Fast attacks====
A Pokémon's fast attack can be used at any time during a battle simply by tapping your Pokémon. Using your Pokémon's fast attack charges its special attack meter.

====Special attacks====
Using a Pokémon's special attack requires that it consume one charged bar of its special attack meter and is triggered by holding a long press on your Pokémon. This pressing requires a slight charging time, during which your Pokémon can be hit, so timing this attack well may be wise.

=====Special attack meter=====
On a Pokémon's summary screen, the blue bar or bars shown after the special attack's name make up its special attack meter. As a rule, a special attack's power is inversely related to the number of bars in its meter. That is, a weak special attack like {{m|Struggle}} has a power of 15 and 5 bars, while a strong special attack like {{m|Hyper Beam}} has a power of 70 and 1 bar. In the end, what this means is simply that weaker special attacks can be used more often or in quick succession if so desired, while stronger special attacks can only be used infrequently (since they need more charging for one use) and fewer times in succession.

During battle, the special attack meter starts out as an empty gray meter under your Pokémon's HP and must be filled. It can be filled two ways:
* Use fast attacks
* Take damage from the opponent
Each attack received or dealt does not necessarily fill a whole bar of the special attack meter. It may only fill a small portion, or it may fill a large portion.

If your Pokémon faints or switches, its special attack meter is reset!

===Important factors in a battle===
These are the statistics that will influence how well one of your Pokémon will do against another Pokémon in battle. Smart play in attacking and dodging can potentially mitigate any disadvantages you may have against a "stronger" Pokémon, but at the same time, being more evenly matched will make for an easier battle.

* [[Statistic#Hit Points|HP]] (Hit Points): obviously more HP means you (or your opponent) can survive longer. Exact HP cannot actually be seen in-battle, so you may have to keep it in mind for your own Pokémon or try to guess it based on your opponent's CP.
* CP (Combat Power): this is a measure of a Pokémon's attack strength. It can also suggest a Pokémon's HP, as CP and HP usually increase together.
* Attack power: the power of your Pokémon's fast and special attacks. Most fast attacks are relatively weak while special attacks are generally stronger, sometimes significantly so. However, the requirement to charge your special attack means you won't be able to use it as often as your fast attack (especially for stronger special attacks).
* [[Type]]s: attacking and defending types also factor into damage just like in the core games.

==Defending your Gym==
[[File:GO Guide Gym 2.png|thumb|150px|Use your strongest Pokémon if you want to keep the Gym for your team.]]
When your team has a Gym, plenty of Trainers are required to work together so as to build up the Gym's defense. Upon challenging a friendly Gym, you are helping it build their Prestige level up, so that more Pokémon can be used to defend the Gym.

To reinforce your friendly Gym, you need to walk up to that Gym, touch it to enter, and at the bottom of the screen, touch '''Add Pokémon''', and select the Pokémon you want to add to the Gym. Bear in mind that you can only add one Pokémon per Gym, so make sure to choose carefully.

Battles in a friendly Gym are similar to those fought in a rival one, although neither the Gym's Pokémon nor Prestige level will be damaged. However, your Pokémon will be damaged, so you will need to heal them through items obtained at PokéStops.

The longer you keep on battling on that Gym, the better its Prestige level will be, eventually allowing another slot on the Pokémon list for defending the tower. The higher the Prestige level is, the longer it will take for Gyms to level up even further. For example, going from level 2 to 3 can be done in about two matches while going from Level 6 to 7 could take over ten matches.

==When interacting with other players==
While Pokémon GO does not currently feature any direct connection between players' devices, there are still ways for players to interact at Gyms. If a tower on the map has explosions and battle signs, it means that the Gym is being challenged by other Trainers. You may choose to assist the challenger, even if they are on a different team. Joining a battle will allow both Trainers' Pokémon to appear on each other's screens and both Pokémon will be able to team up to defeat the defending Pokémon. Remember though that defeating a Gym leaves in its neutral stage. If you're fighting alongside an opposing team member, you'll have to be quick if you want to claim the Gym for yourself.

===Good sportsmanship===
As Pokémon Trainers, you should always practice good sportsmanship when interacting with others playing the game, especially when it comes to Gyms. Although we laugh and make jokes about the turf-war nature of teams controlling Gyms, they should never come at the expense of anyone's enjoyment of the game. Here are a few tips for sportsmanship and Gym challenges.

* New players join the game every day and are not always able to understand the battle mechanics. If a Trainer challenges your Gym while you are present and asks you questions about how to play, don't ignore them. Let them experience the thrill of defeating a Gym. Remember, Gym Leaders originally existed to give out [[Badge]]s upon a loss and were expected to lose.
* If your Gym is conquered remind the new leader that they should claim their PokéCoins before someone else takes the now-weakened Gym.
* Don't hang around a Gym that is being taken and then rush in to claim it without participating in the battle. It's not fair to the players who had to battle the Gym to not get to benefit from it.
* Remember to be respectful of all players. This is a game that is meant to be enjoyed together. Bullying, discrimination, harassment, etc. does not create a welcoming community and will not encourage others to play the game.
* When you claim a new Gym consider training there for a bit to raise its Prestige level. This will allow other members of your team to quickly place other Pokémon in the Gym without having to defeat your strongest Pokémon and leveling Prestige themselves.
* Many Gyms are at locations such as churches, hospitals, and cemeteries. In some cases they may also be located at a place of residence, or in an area protected by a homeowner's association or gated community. Always be aware of where Gyms are located and do not trespass. If asked by security, neighborhood watch, or local police to leave the premises, always be polite and comply. If a resident asks you to leave their property, apologize and comply.

==Benefits of combat in Gyms==
[[File:GO Guide Gym 5.png|thumb|150px|Earning PokéCoins and Stardust with only one Pokémon stationed in a Gym.]]
When you fight on Gyms, you will earn experience points, but you also win a daily reward for leaving a Pokémon on a Gym's team.

In the Store menu, you will find a shield which will let you know how many Pokémon you have defending Gyms. You will earn 500 Stardust and 10 PokéCoins for every Gym held, having a maximum of ten Gyms. You can claim them every 21 hours, after of which the timer will refresh and you will have to wait until you can cash them in again. You could also bypass the timer and buy them instead.

==Current bugs encountered in Gyms==
Currently it has been reported by a number of Trainers that Gym battles can experience a number of issues that will result in the battle being inconclusive. Niantic has already stated that they are working on the problem and hopefully all bugs will sorted out quickly. We here at Bulbagarden have encountered some of these issues ourselves and have a couple tips that might help ease the frustration.

The most common bug is usually encountered in the final stage of a Gym battle, though it can sometimes occur earlier. When a Pokémon, usually the final defender, reaches 1 HP, it will be unable to lose any more hit points and the Gym will be unable to be defeated. While there has been no official explanation of the problem, it's likely that this remains a server connection failure. The Gym is possibly attempting to update itself with the Pokémon GO servers and is unable to do so. In the event that you encounter this bug, it is possible to continue battling until a connection is reestablished, at which point Pokémon will be able to faint once more. If the glitch persists for more than 15 seconds, it is recommended that you close and reload Pokémon GO and attempt the battle again. Remember to check your Pokémon's health before going into the battle. It's possible that the last fight will still have been recorded and your team will require healing.

Another common bug occurs at the beginning of Gym battles. Sometimes, when the word "GO!" appears at the start of a match the battle will reset itself back to the main Gym screen. This sequence will continue in a never ending loop so long as the Trainer continues to attempt to challenge the Gym. While there is again no official explanation for this glitch we have personally experienced it most often when there are multiple users interacting with the same Gym. We suggest closing and reloading Pokémon GO as soon as you experience the glitch. Once you have returned to the overworld screen, begin walking away from the Gym until it returns to its collapsed tower form. Approach the Gym and attempt the battle again. We cannot guarantee 100% success with this method, but positive results have been repeatedly observed.

It should be noted that Gyms are currently more stable during non-peak hours of play. If you are able and willing, consider challenging Gyms before going to bed for the night. Please remember to always take safety measures when venturing out after dark. For more information on safety measures, please check the [[Appendix:Pokémon GO Player's Guide/Safety|Safety Guide]].

Walkthrough:Pokémon GO/Gyms

Masatoshi:

==Basics of Gyms in Pokémon GO==
The {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Gym]] challenge has been the core of the Pokémon narrative for over twenty years now, and as such the Gym mechanic of [[Pokémon GO]] is arguably the most complex and nuanced feature of the game. Before [[Pokémon Trainer|trainers]] can even begin claiming Gyms in Pokémon GO they must have reached Trainer [[Level]] 5. If you are not yet Level 5, you are encouraged to get back out there and catch every Pokémon you see and visit every [[PokéStop]] you can. Before long you'll be ready to begin battling Gyms and claim them for your own.

Upon reaching Trainer Level 5 you'll be prompted to choose one of three teams.
* Team Instinct is represented by {{p|Zapdos}} and led by [[Professor Willow#Assistants|Spark]]. They value Pokémon breeding and state that there's no losing if you trust your instincts.
* Team Mystic is represented by {{p|Articuno}} and led by [[Professor Willow#Assistants|Blanche]]. They value Pokémon evolution and state that calm analysis is the key for victory.
* Team Valor is represented by {{p|Moltres}} and led by [[Professor Willow#Assistants|Candela]]. They value training, battling, and pure strength.

Currently, your team affiliation is permanent and affects only how you interact with Gyms. All other aspects are merely cosmetic.

In Pokémon GO, like the [[core series]] games, players can challenge Pokémon Gyms, which are shown on the map as large towers. If a tower is visible on your screen it can be selected from any distance away and its information can be scouted. The Gym screen will always show the Pokémon stationed there, the Pokémon's CP, the Trainers who have claimed the Gym (if any), the Trainer's level, and the battles won by the victorious Pokémon. Once the Pokémon is defeated it will be removed from the Gym and its stats will disappear.

If the tower is colorless, it means that the Gym is without an owner at the moment. You can give it a Pokémon so that you can gain control of the Gym immediately. Gyms automatically begin at level 2, allowing up to two Pokémon to be stationed there. A Pokémon placed in a Gym cannot be removed until it is defeated by a challenging Trainer, at which point the Pokémon will return to your collection so you can use it again. This Pokémon will return at 1 HP, so remember to use healing items to restore your Pokémon's health.

However, if the tower is colored red, yellow, or blue it means that one or more Trainers have claimed the location for their team. Trainers on the same team can use their team's Gyms to train or fortify the Gym itself. Trainers on opposing teams will be prompted to challenge the Gym, potentially even to claim it in their team's color.

==Training==
Let's create a short scenario: You are a Trainer aligned with Team Mystic and across the street from your house is a Gym that has also been claimed by Team Mystic. This Gym can be used as a training spot for your own Pokémon. Defeating the defending Pokémon will make earn experience for both Pokémon and Prestige points for the Gym. Don't worry, you don't have to defeat all Gym defenders to earn experience and Prestige. Each Pokémon you defeat will yield at least some rewards. In addition, your Pokémon cannot faint during training battles, instead remaining at a minimum of 1 HP.

Raising Prestige points for the team will increase the Gym's overall level and will allow more friendly Trainers to defend it from being claimed by rival teams. Currently, the maximum level and amount of Pokémon that can be stationed at a Gym is 10.

==Defeating a Gym==
Like in the core series games, you will need to make use of strategies to defeat the Gym Leader or Leaders. Things such as [[type]] effectiveness can play a big role on defeating them, but the most important thing to take into account is knowing their Combat Power (CP).

You should use your strongest Pokémon during the battle. It could take a few battles to claim a Gym as yours, especially when there are more Pokémon to defeat. A battle of attrition makes the Gym lose their Prestige level, reducing the number of usable Pokémon and improving the chances of defeating the Gym. However, if you lose at the Gym, this will award the winner Prestige, also allowing them to level up this way, so make sure to play your cards right.

Pokémon that are stationed at Gyms will be ordered by CP with the weakest being fought first and the strongest being fought last. In addition, the strongest Pokémon in the Gym will be marked with a crown icon on the Gym home screen, signifying that they are the ''Gym Leader''.

You may need to battle a Gym multiple times in order to fully claim it. Gyms will lose approximately one level for each time you defeat its full compliment of defenders. As a Gym loses levels it will also lose defending Pokémon. If you can get a Gym down to Level 1 with a prestige of 0 you will have defeated the Gym completely.

Once defeated the Gym tower will be colorless and will no longer be affiliated with any team. Deposit one of your Pokémon in the now vacant Gym in order to claim it for you and your team. Remember, only Pokémon will full hit points can be deposited in Gyms.

For now Gyms are the only places where you can fight in Pokémon battles.

===Choosing your Pokémon team===
As stated previously, when challenging an enemy Gym, you can choose up to six Pokémon; when you are training in a friendly Gym, you can only choose one. Look at which types of Pokémon you'll be battling and pick your team accordingly, bearing in mind the type of Pokémon and whether its type is super effective or not. Type matchups have not changed from the core series.

Another important aspect of choosing your team, is to look at the Pokémon's CP. The bigger the CP is, the stronger the Pokémon will be. However, don't always focus entirely on a Pokémon's CP. Although difficult, it's possible for a Pokémon even six hundred points weaker to overpower its opponent through type effectiveness alone.

===Gym battles===
In Pokémon GO, battles can only be conducted at Gyms. Battles are not turn-based, and they are not conducted directly between two players. Rather, your opponent is always under AI control. Battles are also timed, limited to 100 seconds.

Depending on whether the Gym is a rival Gym or a friendly Gym, the format will be slightly different.
* At a rival Gym...
** You will choose six of your own Pokémon to battle one or more Pokémon from the Gym.
** If you lose, your Pokémon faint.
* At a friendly Gym...
** You will choose one of your own Pokémon to train against a single Pokémon from the Gym.
** If you lose, your Pokémon will return to your collection with 1 HP.

During a battle, you can make your Pokémon perform three basic actions.
* '''Dodge''': swipe left or right on the screen.
* '''Fast attack''': tap your Pokémon.
* '''Special attack''': hold a long press on your Pokémon; BUT, this can only be used after the special attack meter is charged!
Basic type effectiveness also plays an important role, exactly like in the core games, but there does not appear to be any [[same-type attack bonus]].

Two buttons in the bottom-right of the screen will also allow you to forfeit the battle (top) or switch to another Pokémon on your team (bottom).

===Dodging===
Dodging can prove vital to prolonging a low-powered Pokémon's fight against a high-powered opponent! When a Pokémon is about to use its secondary attack a message will appear above its head. Do your best to avoid these attacks.

But beware! Successfully dodging an attack is about timing. Even if you're out of your opponent's apparent line of attack, if you don't dodge at the right time, you can still get hit.

===Moves===
All Pokémon have two moves, as seen on their summary screen (under the label "8" seen [https://support.pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/hc/en-us/articles/222049867-Viewing-a-Pok%C3%A9mon-s-Summary- here]). The first move listed is the Pokémon's '''fast attack''', and the second is its '''special attack'''.

====Fast attacks====
A Pokémon's fast attack can be used at any time during a battle simply by tapping your Pokémon. Using your Pokémon's fast attack charges its special attack meter.

====Special attacks====
Using a Pokémon's special attack requires that it consume one charged bar of its special attack meter and is triggered by holding a long press on your Pokémon. This pressing requires a slight charging time, during which your Pokémon can be hit, so timing this attack well may be wise.

=====Special attack meter=====
On a Pokémon's summary screen, the blue bar or bars shown after the special attack's name make up its special attack meter. As a rule, a special attack's power is inversely related to the number of bars in its meter. That is, a weak special attack like {{m|Struggle}} has a power of 15 and 5 bars, while a strong special attack like {{m|Hyper Beam}} has a power of 70 and 1 bar. In the end, what this means is simply that weaker special attacks can be used more often or in quick succession if so desired, while stronger special attacks can only be used infrequently (since they need more charging for one use) and fewer times in succession.

During battle, the special attack meter starts out as an empty gray meter under your Pokémon's HP and must be filled. It can be filled two ways:
* Use fast attacks
* Take damage from the opponent
Each attack received or dealt does not necessarily fill a whole bar of the special attack meter. It may only fill a small portion, or it may fill a large portion.

If your Pokémon faints or switches, its special attack meter is reset!

===Important factors in a battle===
These are the statistics that will influence how well one of your Pokémon will do against another Pokémon in battle. Smart play in attacking and dodging can potentially mitigate any disadvantages you may have against a "stronger" Pokémon, but at the same time, being more evenly matched will make for an easier battle.

* [[Statistic#Hit Points|HP]] (Hit Points): obviously more HP means you (or your opponent) can survive longer. Exact HP cannot actually be seen in-battle, so you may have to keep it in mind for your own Pokémon or try to guess it based on your opponent's CP.
* CP (Combat Power): this is a measure of a Pokémon's attack strength. It can also suggest a Pokémon's HP, as CP and HP usually increase together.
* Attack power: the power of your Pokémon's fast and special attacks. Most fast attacks are relatively weak while special attacks are generally stronger, sometimes significantly so. However, the requirement to charge your special attack means you won't be able to use it as often as your fast attack (especially for stronger special attacks).
* [[Type]]s: attacking and defending types also factor into damage just like in the core games.

==Defending your Gym==
When your team has a Gym, plenty of Trainers are required to work together so as to build up the Gym's defense. Upon challenging a friendly Gym, you are helping it build their Prestige level up, so that more Pokémon can be used to defend the Gym.

To reinforce your friendly Gym, you need to walk up to that Gym, touch it to enter, and at the bottom of the screen, touch '''Add Pokémon''', and select the Pokémon you want to add to the Gym. Bear in mind that you can only add one Pokémon per Gym, so make sure to choose carefully.

Battles in a friendly Gym are similar to those fought in a rival one, although neither the Gym's Pokémon nor Prestige level will be damaged. However, your Pokémon will be damaged, so you will need to heal them through items obtained at PokéStops.

The longer you keep on battling on that Gym, the better its Prestige level will be, eventually allowing another slot on the Pokémon list for defending the tower. The higher the Prestige level is, the longer it will take for Gyms to level up even further. For example, going from level 2 to 3 can be done in about two matches while going from Level 6 to 7 could take over ten matches.

==When interacting with other players==
While Pokémon GO does not currently feature any direct connection between players' devices, there are still ways for players to interact at Gyms. If a tower on the map has explosions and battle signs, it means that the Gym is being challenged by other Trainers. You may choose to assist the challenger, even if they are on a different team. Joining a battle will allow both Trainers' Pokémon to appear on each other's screens and both Pokémon will be able to team up to defeat the defending Pokémon. Remember though that defeating a Gym leaves in its neutral stage. If you're fighting alongside an opposing team member, you'll have to be quick if you want to claim the Gym for yourself.

===Good sportsmanship===
As Pokémon Trainers, you should always practice good sportsmanship when interacting with others playing the game, especially when it comes to Gyms. Although we laugh and make jokes about the turf-war nature of teams controlling Gyms, they should never come at the expense of anyone's enjoyment of the game. Here are a few tips for sportsmanship and Gym challenges.

* New players join the game every day and are not always able to understand the battle mechanics. If a Trainer challenges your Gym while you are present and asks you questions about how to play, don't ignore them. Let them experience the thrill of defeating a Gym. Remember, Gym Leaders originally existed to give out [[Badge]]s upon a loss and were expected to lose.
* If your Gym is conquered remind the new leader that they should claim their PokéCoins before someone else takes the now-weakened Gym.
* Don't hang around a Gym that is being taken and then rush in to claim it without participating in the battle. It's not fair to the players who had to battle the Gym to not get to benefit from it.
* Remember to be respectful of all players. This is a game that is meant to be enjoyed together. Bullying, discrimination, harassment, etc. does not create a welcoming community and will not encourage others to play the game.
* When you claim a new Gym consider training there for a bit to raise its Prestige level. This will allow other members of your team to quickly place other Pokémon in the Gym without having to defeat your strongest Pokémon and leveling Prestige themselves.
* Many Gyms are at locations such as churches, hospitals, and cemeteries. In some cases they may also be located at a place of residence, or in an area protected by a homeowner's association or gated community. Always be aware of where Gyms are located and do not trespass. If asked by security, neighborhood watch, or local police to leave the premises, always be polite and comply. If a resident asks you to leave their property, apologize and comply.

==Benefits of combat in Gyms==
When you fight on Gyms, you will earn experience points, but you also win a daily reward for leaving a Pokémon on a Gym's team.

In the Store menu, you will find a shield which will let you know how many Pokémon you have defending Gyms. You will earn 500 Stardust and 10 PokéCoins for every Gym held, having a maximum of ten Gyms. You can claim them every 21 hours, after of which the timer will refresh and you will have to wait until you can cash them in again. You could also bypass the timer and buy them instead.

==Current bugs encountered in Gyms==
Currently it has been reported by a number of Trainers that Gym battles can experience a number of issues that will result in the battle being inconclusive. Niantic has already stated that they are working on the problem and hopefully all bugs will sorted out quickly. We here at Bulbagarden have encountered some of these issues ourselves and have a couple tips that might help ease the frustration.

The most common bug is usually encountered in the final stage of a Gym battle, though it can sometimes occur earlier. When a Pokémon, usually the final defender, reaches 1 HP, it will be unable to lose any more hit points and the Gym will be unable to be defeated. While there has been no official explanation of the problem, it's likely that this remains a server connection failure. The Gym is possibly attempting to update itself with the Pokémon GO servers and is unable to do so. In the event that you encounter this bug, it is possible to continue battling until a connection is reestablished, at which point Pokémon will be able to faint once more. If the glitch persists for more than 15 seconds, it is recommended that you close and reload Pokémon GO and attempt the battle again. Remember to check your Pokémon's health before going into the battle. It's possible that the last fight will still have been recorded and your team will require healing.

Another common bug occurs at the beginning of Gym battles. Sometimes, when the word "GO!" appears at the start of a match the battle will reset itself back to the main Gym screen. This sequence will continue in a never ending loop so long as the Trainer continues to attempt to challenge the Gym. While there is again no official explanation for this glitch we have personally experienced it most often when there are multiple users interacting with the same Gym. We suggest closing and reloading Pokémon GO as soon as you experience the glitch. Once you have returned to the overworld screen, begin walking away from the Gym until it returns to its collapsed tower form. Approach the Gym and attempt the battle again. We cannot guarantee 100% success with this method, but positive results have been repeatedly observed.

It should be noted that Gyms are currently more stable during non-peak hours of play. If you are able and willing, consider challenging Gyms before going to bed for the night. Please remember to always take safety measures when venturing out after dark. For more information on safety measures, please check the [[Appendix:Pokémon GO Player's Guide/Safety|Safety Guide]].

Walkthrough:Pokémon GO/Rural and Suburban areas

2016-07-12T12:17:47Z

Masatoshi: Created page with "Using augmented reality technology, '''Pokémon GO''' has brought the beloved Pokémon franchise to the real world. Unfortunately, it appears that urban areas have benefit..."

Using augmented reality technology, '''[[Pokémon GO]]''' has brought the beloved Pokémon franchise to the real world. Unfortunately, it appears that urban areas have benefitted the most in terms of activity for Pokémon GO. Although there are still Pokémon to be found in more remote regions, the variety is limited compared to urban areas. [[PokéStop]]s and gyms are also more scarce. Nonetheless, there are still ways to enjoy Pokémon GO even if you happen to live in these areas.

First, it’s important to understand why urban areas such as large cities are the ideal location for playing Pokémon GO. The game uses your phone’s GPS, clock, and camera to create an augmented reality where [[wild Pokémon]] appear around you in the real world. It appears that the areas of interest in Pokémon GO are largely determined by data that [[Niantic]], the publisher for Pokémon GO, has gathered about cellphone data usage, as well as additional crowd sourced information. The source of much of this data is Ingress, the first augmented reality mobile game created by Niantic, and is used to create the data pool where PokéStops and [[Gym]]s appear in Pokémon GO. Evidently, areas with greater population density and active telecommunication networks proved to be the most popular locations for these landmarks. As for the locations where Pokémon spawn, these are determined by geographical markers in the game’s map that designate areas based on certain properties such as climate, vegetation, and soil or rock type. The amount and frequency of spawning seem to correlate with more populated areas as well.

==The Pokémon GO experience in rural and suburban areas==
Although you should be able to find Pokémon anywhere, the variety of available Pokémon decreases the further you are from active urban areas. According to a statement by Niantic CEO John Hanke, Niantic’s goal is "to make it so you can walk out of the house and within five minutes, you can find Pokémon. It may not be the most rare Pokémon in the world, but there’ll be a population of Pokémon living near all our players." So if {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Zubat}}, are some of the only Pokémon that you are able to encounter, you are probably living in a rural area. Furthermore, you may find it difficult to locate PokéStops and Gyms nearby.

==Suggestions for playing in rural and suburban areas==
* '''Get on the go:''' True to its name, Pokémon GO encourages exploration of the real world in search of Pokémon. For the most part, the Pokémon won’t come to you, you have to go to them. It’s highly recommended that you visit the most populated areas in your region to get the greatest experience possible out of the game. Walking seems to be the most effective method of encountering Pokémon, but it is certainly not the only way to do so. Pokémon GO also works inside mobile vehicles while in motion, so your avatar will continue to move on the screen as your location in the real world changes. Note that attempts to hatch eggs faster using vehicles may not work because the game will not record distance travelled if you are moving too fast. Another thing to keep in mind is that if you happen to leave the area when interacting with PokéStops you won't be able to finish interacting with them. In general, if you are playing in a moving vehicle, the interactions work best when you're slowing down or fully stopped near an area of interest. However, once you initiate an encounter with a Pokémon, it will stay with you until it [[Escape|flees]] or you [[Caught Pokémon|catch]] it. Additionally, please remember to stay safe at all times and don't play Pokémon GO while operating a vehicle. For more information of safety measures, follow the [[Appendix:Pokémon GO Player's Guide/Safety|Safety Guide]].
* '''Make the most out of opportunities:''' Since the amount of PokéStops and Gyms in your area may be limited, it would be advantageous to capitalize on every interaction with them. Once you have collected items from a PokéStop, it will automatically restock with supplies after a few minutes. This will allow you to stock up on a bulk of items if desired. You also do not need to move away from the PokéStop for it to refresh (however you do still need to be in range to access them).
* '''Location:''' Similar to the [[Core series|main series]] Pokémon games, some wild Pokémon can only be found in certain real-life locations with various environments depending on their type. In rural and suburban areas, these landmarks may historical and cultural markers such as sculptures, monuments, churches, and memorials. A good idea in general is to situate yourself in locations with heavy cell phone traffic and places with large crowds of people. Some popular hotspots for Pokémon GO activity include: college/university campuses, shopping centers, metro/bus stops, and busy streets. It’s also possible but unlikely for Pokémon to appear inside your home. Remember to keep the app open or it will not alert you to new Pokémon.
* '''Trade:''' As with the main series Pokémon games, one of the best ways to acquire new Pokémon is to [[trade]] with fellow [[Pokémon Trainer|trainers]]. Although yet to be implemented, Niantic has stated that they are working on a trading feature for future versions of the game. This will give players who live in areas with access to only certain Pokémon an opportunity to trade their commonly found Pokémon for more rare Pokémon from other regions around the world.
* '''Items:''' You can use [[Incense]]s to increase your chances of attracting Pokémon to your current location. You can use Lure Modules when on a PokéStop to lure Pokémon to said PokéStop. It is suggested that you stock up on as many items as possible when you get the chance to interact with a PokéStop as you are probably not going to encounter many of them, and doing so will make its available items respawn in a few minutes.

Walkthrough:Pokémon GO/Malware

2016-07-12T11:37:11Z

Masatoshi: Created page with "'''Pokémon GO''' has become very popular, incredibly so. For this reason, many people got it on release date. There was a problem, however. It was only released in very..."

'''[[Pokémon GO]]''' has become very popular, incredibly so. For this reason, many people got it on release date.

There was a problem, however. It was only released in very limited areas. As a result, many people wanted the software early. Then, it got so popular that the servers were slow and froze often. [[The Pokémon Company International]] didn’t want to release the software in any more regions until these problems were fixed.

It is for these reasons that people downloaded Pokémon GO in less-than-legitimate means. And when people do that, then there are those that want to profit from it by putting potentially dangerous malware into Pokémon GO. This guide will determine whether your version is dangerous, and what to do about it if it is.

==Checking whether the app is malware==

Before this begins, it should be noted that if you downloaded GO from a legitimate app store (such as Google's [https://play.google.com/store Play Store] and Apple's [https://itunes.apple.com/us/genre/ios/id36%3Fmt%3D8 App Store]), it is almost certainly free from malware. Thus, you do not need to read the rest of the guide. In order to get the bad version, you must have disabled Android security and sideloaded the app.

The first thing to note is the bad version itself. It is afflicted with a tool known as Droidjack. Droidjack gives its controller full control of the phone, and monitors everything that you do on it. Its first known occurrence on GO was a little less than 72 hours after the Australian release, but it’s likely that it happened before that point.

While Droidjack seems scary, it also leaves behind telltale signs that you can look at to tell if your version is infected.

===App permissions===

Possibly the easiest way to tell is to look at the permissions of the app, which can be found in your phone’s settings. If your version is legitimate, these should be the permissions:
* Take pictures and videos
* Approximate location (network based)
* Precise location (GPS and network based)
* Modify or delete the contents of your SD card
* Read the contents of your SD card
* Find accounts on the device
* Use accounts on the device
* Full network access
* View network connections
* Access Bluetooth settings
* Pair with Bluetooth devices
* Control vibration
* Prevent phone from sleeping

If it has anything else, the game is fake, and almost certainly harmful. In particular, a DroidJack version will have permissions such as:

* Directly call phone numbers (this may cost you money)
* Read phone status and identity
* Edit your text messages (SMS or MMS)
* Receive text messages (SMS)
* Send SMS messages (this may cost you money)
* Record audio
* Modify your contacts
* Read call log
* Read your contacts
* Write call log
* Read your Web bookmarks and history
* Change network connectivity
* Connect and disconnect from Wi-Fi
* View Wi-Fi connections
* Retrieve running apps
* Run at startup

That’s a long list. In particular if you see anything that makes absolutely no sense to be there or can cost you money, then it’s malicious.

==Verifying if the file has been changed==

Another method, though not as simple, involves looking at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1 SHA-1 hash], which is a string of characters that tells whether a file has been changed. The first string of characters below is the one associated with the legitimate app. The second is one that is known to have been used by a DroidJack version.

<code>8bf2b0865bef06906cd854492dece202482c04ce9c5e881e02d2b6235661ab67</code> - Legitimate app.

<code>15db22fd7d961f4d4bd96052024d353b3ff4bd135835d2644d94d74c925af3c4</code> - App using a DroidJack version.

In order to check the SHA-1 hash, you must use a tool from an external source (there’s no method of finding it that’s predownloaded in your phone). There are a few online tools that allow you to do this, one good example being this: http://onlinemd5.com/ (You’d upload the app’s file onto this tool in much the same way you’ve sidedownloaded the app to your phone).

If the app is malicious, then it can be deleted from the application manager, similarly to any other app.

Walkthrough:Pokémon GO/Gyms

2016-07-11T07:23:31Z

Masatoshi: /* Basics of Gyms in Pokémon GO */

==Basics of Gyms in Pokémon GO==
The {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Gym]] challenge has been the core of the Pokémon narrative for over twenty years now, and as such the Gym mechanic of [[Pokémon GO]] is arguably the most complex and nuanced feature of the game. Before Trainers can even begin claiming Gyms in Pokémon GO they must have reached Trainer Level 5. If you are not yet Level 5, you are encouraged to get back out there and catch every Pokémon you see and visit every PokéStop you can. Before long you’ll be ready to begin battling Gyms and claim them for your own.

Upon reaching Trainer Level 5 you’ll be prompted to choose one of three teams.
* Team Instinct is represented by {{p|Zapdos}} and led by [[Spark]]. They value Pokemon breeding and state that there’s no losing if you trust your instincts.
* Team Mystic is represented by {{p|Articuno}} and led by [[Blanche]]. They value Pokemon evolution and state that calm analysis is the key for victory.
* Team Valor is represented by {{p|Moltres}} and led by [[Candela]]. They value training, battling, and pure strength.

Currently, your team affiliation is permanent and affects only how you interact with Gyms. All other aspects are merely cosmetic.

In Pokémon GO, like the core series games, players can challenge Pokémon Gyms, which are shown on the map as large towers. If a tower is visible on your screen it can be selected from any distance away and its information can be scouted. The Gym screen will always show the Pokémon stationed there, the Pokémon’s CP, the Trainers who have claimed the Gym (if any), the Trainer’s level, and the battles won by the victorious Pokémon. Once the Pokémon is defeated it will be removed from the Gym and its stats will disappear.

If the tower is colorless, it means that the Gym is without an owner at the moment. You can give it a Pokémon so that you can gain control of the Gym immediately. Gyms automatically begin at level 2, allowing up to two Pokémon to be stationed there. A Pokémon placed in a Gym cannot be removed until it is defeated by a challenging Trainer, at which point the Pokémon will return to your collection so you can use it again. This Pokémon will return at 1 HP, so remember to use healing items to restore your Pokemon’s health.

However, if the tower is colored red, yellow, or blue it means that one or more Trainers have claimed the location for their team. Trainers on the same team can use their team’s Gyms to train or fortify the Gym itself. Trainers on opposing teams will be prompted to challenge the Gym, potentially even to claim it in their team’s color.

==Training==
Let’s create a short scenario: You are a Trainer aligned with Team Mystic and across the street from your house is a Gym that has also been claimed by Team Mystic. This Gym can be used as a training spot for your own Pokémon. Defeating the defending Pokémon will make earn experience for both Pokémon and Prestige points for the Gym. Don’t worry, you don’t have to defeat all Gym defenders to earn experience and Prestige. Each Pokémon you defeat will yield at least some rewards. In addition, your Pokémon cannot faint during training battles, instead remaining at a minimum of 1 HP.

Raising Prestige points for the team will increase the Gym’s overall level and will allow more friendly Trainers to defend it from being claimed by rival teams. Currently, the maximum level and amount of Pokémon that can be stationed at a Gym is 10.

==Defeating a Gym==
Like in the core series games, you will need to make use of strategies to defeat the Gym Leader or Leaders. Things such as type effectiveness can play a big role on defeating them, but the most important thing to take into account is knowing their Combat Power (CP).

You should use your strongest Pokémon during the battle. It could take a few battles to claim a Gym as yours, especially when there are more Pokémon to defeat. A battle of attrition makes the Gym lose their Prestige level, reducing the number of usable Pokémon and improving the chances of defeating the Gym. However, if you lose at the Gym, this will award the winner Prestige, also allowing them to level up this way, so make sure to play your cards right.

Pokemon that are stationed at Gyms will be ordered by CP with the weakest being fought first and the strongest being fought last. In addition, the strongest Pokemon in the Gym will be marked with a crown icon on the Gym home screen, signifying that they are the ''Gym Leader''.

You may need to battle a Gym multiple times in order to fully claim it. Gyms will lose approximately one level for each time you defeat its full compliment of defenders. As a Gym loses levels it will also lose defending Pokemon. If you can get a Gym down to Level 1 with a prestige of 0 you will have defeated the Gym completely.

Once defeated the Gym tower will be colorless and will no longer be affiliated with any team. Deposit one of your Pokémon in the now vacant Gym in order to claim it for you and your team. Remember, only Pokémon will full hit points can be deposited in Gyms.

For now Gyms are the only places where you can fight in Pokémon battles.

===Choosing your Pokémon team===
As stated previously, when challenging an enemy Gym, you can choose up to six Pokémon; when you are training in a friendly Gym, you can only choose one. Look at which types of Pokémon you’ll be battling and pick your team accordingly, bearing in mind the type of Pokémon and whether its type is super effective or not. Type matchups have not changed from the core series.

Another important aspect of choosing your team, is to look at the Pokémon’s CP. The bigger the CP is, the stronger the Pokémon will be. However, don’t always focus entirely on a Pokemon’s CP. Although difficult, it’s possible for a Pokémon even six hundred points weaker to overpower its opponent through type effectiveness alone.

===Gym battles===
In Pokémon GO, battles can only be conducted at Gyms. Battles are not turn-based, and they are not conducted directly between two players. Rather, your opponent is always under AI control. Battles are also timed, limited to 100 seconds.

Depending on whether the Gym is a rival Gym or a friendly Gym, the format will be slightly different.
* At a rival Gym...
** You will choose six of your own Pokémon to battle one or more Pokémon from the Gym.
** If you lose, your Pokémon faint.
* At a friendly Gym...
** You will choose one of your own Pokémon to train against a single Pokémon from the Gym.
** If you lose, your Pokémon will return to your collection with 1 HP.

During a battle, you can make your Pokémon perform three basic actions.
* '''Dodge''': swipe left or right on the screen.
* '''Fast attack''': tap your Pokémon.
* '''Special attack''': hold a long press on your Pokémon; BUT, this can only be used after the special attack meter is charged!
Basic [[type]] effectiveness also plays an important role, exactly like in the core games, but there does not appear to be any [[same-type attack bonus]].

Two buttons in the bottom-right of the screen will also allow you to forfeit the battle (top) or switch to another Pokémon on your team (bottom).

===Dodging===
Dodging can prove vital to prolonging a low-powered Pokémon's fight against a high-powered opponent! When a Pokemon is about to use its secondary attack a message will appear above its head. Do your best to avoid these attacks.

But beware! Successfully dodging an attack is about timing. Even if you're out of your opponent's apparent line of attack, if you don't dodge at the right time, you can still get hit.

===Moves===
All Pokémon have two moves, as seen on their summary screen (under the label "8" seen [https://support.pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/hc/en-us/articles/222049867-Viewing-a-Pok%C3%A9mon-s-Summary- here]). The first move listed is the Pokémon's '''fast attack''', and the second is its '''special attack'''.

====Fast attacks====
A Pokémon's fast attack can be used at any time during a battle simply by tapping your Pokémon. Using your Pokémon's fast attack charges its special attack meter.

====Special attacks====
Using a Pokémon's special attack requires that it consume one charged bar of its special attack meter and is triggered by holding a long press on your Pokémon. This pressing requires a slight charging time, during which your Pokémon can be hit, so timing this attack well may be wise.

=====Special attack meter=====
On a Pokémon's summary screen, the blue bar or bars shown after the special attack's name make up its special attack meter. As a rule, a special attack's power is inversely related to the number of bars in its meter. That is, a weak special attack like {{m|Struggle}} has a power of 15 and 5 bars, while a strong special attack like {{m|Hyper Beam}} has a power of 70 and 1 bar. In the end, what this means is simply that weaker special attacks can be used more often or in quick succession if so desired, while stronger special attacks can only be used infrequently (since they need more charging for one use) and fewer times in succession.

During battle, the special attack meter starts out as an empty gray meter under your Pokémon's HP and must be filled. It can be filled two ways:
* Use fast attacks
* Take damage from the opponent
Each attack received or dealt does not necessarily fill a whole bar of the special attack meter. It may only fill a small portion, or it may fill a large portion.

If your Pokémon faints or switches, its special attack meter is reset!

===Important factors in a battle===
These are the statistics that will influence how well one of your Pokémon will do against another Pokémon in battle. Smart play in attacking and dodging can potentially mitigate any disadvantages you may have against a "stronger" Pokémon, but at the same time, being more evenly matched will make for an easier battle.

* [[Statistic#Hit Points|HP]] (Hit Points): obviously more HP means you (or your opponent) can survive longer. Exact HP cannot actually be seen in-battle, so you may have to keep it in mind for your own Pokémon or try to guess it based on your opponent's CP.
* CP (Combat Power): this is a measure of a Pokémon's attack strength. It can also suggest a Pokémon's HP, as CP and HP usually increase together.
* Attack power: the power of your Pokémon's fast and special attacks. Most fast attacks are relatively weak while special attacks are generally stronger, sometimes significantly so. However, the requirement to charge your special attack means you won't be able to use it as often as your fast attack (especially for stronger special attacks).
* [[Type]]s: attacking and defending types also factor into damage just like in the core games.

==Defending your Gym==
When your team has a Gym, plenty of Trainers are required to work together so as to build up the Gym’s defense. Upon challenging a friendly Gym, you are helping it build their Prestige level up, so that more Pokémon can be used to defend the Gym.

To reinforce your friendly Gym, you need to walk up to that Gym, touch it to enter, and at the bottom of the screen, touch '''Add Pokémon''', and select the Pokémon you want to add to the Gym. Bear in mind that you can only add one Pokémon per Gym, so make sure to choose carefully.

Battles in a friendly Gym are similar to those fought in a rival one, although neither the Gym’s Pokémon nor Prestige level will be damaged. However, your Pokémon will be damaged, so you will need to heal them through items obtained at PokéStops.

The longer you keep on battling on that Gym, the better its Prestige level will be, eventually allowing another slot on the Pokémon list for defending the tower. The higher the Prestige level is, the longer it will take for Gyms to level up even further. For example, going from level 2 to 3 can be done in about two matches while going from Level 6 to 7 could take over ten matches.

==When interacting with other players==
While Pokémon GO does not currently feature any direct connection between players’ devices, there are still ways for players to interact at Gyms. If a tower on the map has explosions and battle signs, it means that the Gym is being challenged by other Trainers. You may choose to assist the challenger, even if they are on a different team. Joining a battle will allow both Trainers’ Pokémon to appear on each other’s screens and both Pokémon will be able to team up to defeat the defending Pokémon. Remember though that defeating a Gym leaves in its neutral stage. If you’re fighting alongside an opposing team member, you’ll have to be quick if you want to claim the Gym for yourself.

===Good sportsmanship===
As Pokémon Trainers, you should always practice good sportsmanship when interacting with others playing the game, especially when it comes to Gyms. Although we laugh and make jokes about the turf-war nature of teams controlling Gyms, they should never come at the expense of anyone’s enjoyment of the game. Here are a few tips for sportsmanship and Gym challenges.

* New players join the game every day and are not always able to understand the battle mechanics. If a Trainer challenges your Gym while you are present and asks you questions about how to play, don’t ignore them. Let them experience the thrill of defeating a Gym. Remember, Gym Leaders originally existed to give out Badges upon a loss and were expected to lose.
* If your Gym is conquered remind the new leader that they should claim their PokéCoins before someone else takes the now-weakened Gym.
* Don’t hang around a Gym that is being taken and then rush in to claim it without participating in the battle. It’s not fair to the players who had to battle the Gym to not get to benefit from it.
* Remember to be respectful of all players. This is a game that is meant to be enjoyed together. Bullying, discrimination, harassment, etc. does not create a welcoming community and will not encourage others to play the game.
* When you claim a new Gym consider training there for a bit to raise its Prestige level. This will allow other members of your team to quickly place other Pokemon in the Gym without having to defeat your strongest Pokémon and leveling Prestige themselves.
* Many Gyms are at locations such as churches, hospitals, and cemeteries. In some cases they may also be located at a place of residence, or in an area protected by a homeowner’s association or gated community. Always be aware of where Gyms are located and do not trespass. If asked by security, neighborhood watch, or local police to leave the premises, always be polite and comply. If a resident asks you to leave their property, apologize and comply.

==Benefits of combat in Gyms==
When you fight on Gyms, you will earn experience points, but you also win a daily reward for leaving a Pokémon on a Gym’s team.

In the Store menu, you will find a shield which will let you know how many Pokémon you have defending Gyms. You will earn 500 Stardust and 10 PokéCoins for every Gym held, having a maximum of ten Gyms. You can claim them every 21 hours, after of which the timer will refresh and you will have to wait until you can cash them in again. You could also bypass the timer and buy them instead.

==Current bugs encountered in Gyms==
Currently it has been reported by a number of Trainers that Gym battles can experience a number of issues that will result in the battle being inconclusive. Niantic has already stated that they are working on the problem and hopefully all bugs will sorted out quickly. We here at Bulbagarden have encountered some of these issues ourselves and have a couple tips that might help ease the frustration.

The most common bug is usually encountered in the final stage of a Gym battle, though it can sometimes occur earlier. When a Pokémon, usually the final defender, reaches 1 HP, it will be unable to lose any more hit points and the Gym will be unable to be defeated. While there has been no official explanation of the problem, it’s likely that this remains a server connection failure. The Gym is possibly attempting to update itself with the Pokémon GO servers and is unable to do so. In the event that you encounter this bug, it is possible to continue battling until a connection is reestablished, at which point Pokémon will be able to faint once more. If the glitch persists for more than 15 seconds, it is recommended that you close and reload Pokemon GO and attempt the battle again. Remember to check your Pokémon’s health before going into the battle. It’s possible that the last fight will still have been recorded and your team will require healing.

Another common bug occurs at the beginning of Gym battles. Sometimes, when the word “GO!” appears at the start of a match the battle will reset itself back to the main Gym screen. This sequence will continue in a never ending loop so long as the Trainer continues to attempt to challenge the Gym. While there is again no official explanation for this glitch we have personally experienced it most often when there are multiple users interacting with the same Gym. We suggest closing and reloading Pokemon GO as soon as you experience the glitch. Once you have returned to the overworld screen, begin walking away from the Gym until it returns to its collapsed tower form. Approach the Gym and attempt the battle again. We cannot guarantee 100% success with this method, but positive results have been repeatedly observed.

It should be noted that Gyms are currently more stable during non-peak hours of play. If you are able and willing, consider challenging Gyms before going to bed for the night. Please remember to always take safety measures when venturing out after dark. For more information on safety measures, please check the [[Appendix:Pokémon GO Player's Guide/Safety|Safety Guide]].

==Basics of Gyms in Pokémon GO==
The {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Gym]] challenge has been the core of the Pokémon narrative for over twenty years now, and as such the Gym mechanic of [[Pokémon GO]] is arguably the most complex and nuanced feature of the game. Before Trainers can even begin claiming Gyms in Pokémon GO they must have reached Trainer Level 5. If you are not yet Level 5, you are encouraged to get back out there and catch every Pokémon you see and visit every PokéStop you can. Before long you’ll be ready to begin battling Gyms and claim them for your own.

Upon reaching Trainer Level 5 you’ll be prompted to choose one of three teams.
* Team Instinct is represented by {{p|Zapdos}} and led by [[Spark]]. They value Pokemon breeding and state that there’s no losing if you trust your instincts.
* Team Mystic is represented by {{p|Articuno}} and led by [[Blanche]]. They value Pokemon evolution and state that calm analysis is the key for victory.
* Team Valor is represented by {{p|Moltres}} and led by [[Candela]]. They value training, battling, and pure strength.

Currently, your team affiliation is permanent and affects only how you interact with Gyms. All other aspects are merely cosmetic.

In Pokémon GO, like the core series games, players can challenge Pokémon Gyms, which are shown on the map as large towers. If a tower is visible on your screen it can be selected from any distance away and its information can be scouted. The Gym screen will always show the Pokémon stationed there, the Pokémon’s CP, the Trainers who have claimed the Gym (if any), the Trainer’s level, and the battles won by the victorious Pokémon. Once the Pokémon is defeated it will be removed from the Gym and its stats will disappear.

If the tower is colorless, it means that the Gym is without an owner at the moment. You can give it a Pokémon so that you can gain control of the Gym immediately. Gyms automatically begin at level 2, allowing up to two Pokémon to be stationed there. A Pokémon placed in a Gym cannot be removed until it is defeated by a challenging Trainer, at which point the Pokémon will return to your collection so you can use it again. This Pokémon will return at 1hp, so remember to use healing items to restore your Pokemon’s health.

However, if the tower is colored red, yellow, or blue it means that one or more Trainers have claimed the location for their team. Trainers on the same team can use their team’s Gyms to train or fortify the Gym itself. Trainers on opposing teams will be prompted to challenge the Gym, potentially even to claim it in their team’s color.

==Training==
Let’s create a short scenario: You are a Trainer aligned with Team Mystic and across the street from your house is a Gym that has also been claimed by Team Mystic. This Gym can be used as a training spot for your own Pokémon. Defeating the defending Pokémon will make earn experience for both Pokémon and Prestige points for the Gym. Don’t worry, you don’t have to defeat all Gym defenders to earn experience and Prestige. Each Pokémon you defeat will yield at least some rewards. In addition, your Pokémon cannot faint during training battles, instead remaining at a minimum of 1 HP.

Raising Prestige points for the team will increase the Gym’s overall level and will allow more friendly Trainers to defend it from being claimed by rival teams. Currently, the maximum level and amount of Pokémon that can be stationed at a Gym is 10.

==Defeating a Gym==
Like in the core series games, you will need to make use of strategies to defeat the Gym Leader or Leaders. Things such as type effectiveness can play a big role on defeating them, but the most important thing to take into account is knowing their Combat Power (CP).

You should use your strongest Pokémon during the battle. It could take a few battles to claim a Gym as yours, especially when there are more Pokémon to defeat. A battle of attrition makes the Gym lose their Prestige level, reducing the number of usable Pokémon and improving the chances of defeating the Gym. However, if you lose at the Gym, this will award the winner Prestige, also allowing them to level up this way, so make sure to play your cards right.

Pokemon that are stationed at Gyms will be ordered by CP with the weakest being fought first and the strongest being fought last. In addition, the strongest Pokemon in the Gym will be marked with a crown icon on the Gym home screen, signifying that they are the ''Gym Leader''.

You may need to battle a Gym multiple times in order to fully claim it. Gyms will lose approximately one level for each time you defeat its full compliment of defenders. As a Gym loses levels it will also lose defending Pokemon. If you can get a Gym down to Level 1 with a prestige of 0 you will have defeated the Gym completely.

Once defeated the Gym tower will be colorless and will no longer be affiliated with any team. Deposit one of your Pokémon in the now vacant Gym in order to claim it for you and your team. Remember, only Pokémon will full hit points can be deposited in Gyms.

For now Gyms are the only places where you can fight in Pokémon battles.

===Choosing your Pokémon team===
As stated previously, when challenging an enemy Gym, you can choose up to six Pokémon; when you are training in a friendly Gym, you can only choose one. Look at which types of Pokémon you’ll be battling and pick your team accordingly, bearing in mind the type of Pokémon and whether its type is super effective or not. Type matchups have not changed from the core series.

Another important aspect of choosing your team, is to look at the Pokémon’s CP. The bigger the CP is, the stronger the Pokémon will be. However, don’t always focus entirely on a Pokemon’s CP. Although difficult, it’s possible for a Pokémon even six hundred points weaker to overpower its opponent through type effectiveness alone.

===Gym battles===
In Pokémon GO, battles can only be conducted at Gyms. Battles are not turn-based, and they are not conducted directly between two players. Rather, your opponent is always under AI control. Battles are also timed, limited to 100 seconds.

Depending on whether the Gym is a rival Gym or a friendly Gym, the format will be slightly different.
* At a rival Gym...
** You will choose six of your own Pokémon to battle one or more Pokémon from the Gym.
** If you lose, your Pokémon faint.
* At a friendly Gym...
** You will choose one of your own Pokémon to train against a single Pokémon from the Gym.
** If you lose, your Pokémon will return to your collection with 1 HP.

During a battle, you can make your Pokémon perform three basic actions.
* '''Dodge''': swipe left or right on the screen.
* '''Fast attack''': tap your Pokémon.
* '''Special attack''': hold a long press on your Pokémon; BUT, this can only be used after the special attack meter is charged!
Basic [[type]] effectiveness also plays an important role, exactly like in the core games, but there does not appear to be any [[same-type attack bonus]].

Two buttons in the bottom-right of the screen will also allow you to forfeit the battle (top) or switch to another Pokémon on your team (bottom).

===Dodging===
Dodging can prove vital to prolonging a low-powered Pokémon's fight against a high-powered opponent! When a Pokemon is about to use its secondary attack a message will appear above its head. Do your best to avoid these attacks.

But beware! Successfully dodging an attack is about timing. Even if you're out of your opponent's apparent line of attack, if you don't dodge at the right time, you can still get hit.

===Moves===
All Pokémon have two moves, as seen on their summary screen (under the label "8" seen [https://support.pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/hc/en-us/articles/222049867-Viewing-a-Pok%C3%A9mon-s-Summary- here]). The first move listed is the Pokémon's '''fast attack''', and the second is its '''special attack'''.

====Fast attacks====
A Pokémon's fast attack can be used at any time during a battle simply by tapping your Pokémon. Using your Pokémon's fast attack charges its special attack meter.

====Special attacks====
Using a Pokémon's special attack requires that it consume one charged bar of its special attack meter and is triggered by holding a long press on your Pokémon. This pressing requires a slight charging time, during which your Pokémon can be hit, so timing this attack well may be wise.

=====Special attack meter=====
On a Pokémon's summary screen, the blue bar or bars shown after the special attack's name make up its special attack meter. As a rule, a special attack's power is inversely related to the number of bars in its meter. That is, a weak special attack like {{m|Struggle}} has a power of 15 and 5 bars, while a strong special attack like {{m|Hyper Beam}} has a power of 70 and 1 bar. In the end, what this means is simply that weaker special attacks can be used more often or in quick succession if so desired, while stronger special attacks can only be used infrequently (since they need more charging for one use) and fewer times in succession.

During battle, the special attack meter starts out as an empty gray meter under your Pokémon's HP and must be filled. It can be filled two ways:
* Use fast attacks
* Take damage from the opponent
Each attack received or dealt does not necessarily fill a whole bar of the special attack meter. It may only fill a small portion, or it may fill a large portion.

If your Pokémon faints or switches, its special attack meter is reset!

===Important factors in a battle===
These are the statistics that will influence how well one of your Pokémon will do against another Pokémon in battle. Smart play in attacking and dodging can potentially mitigate any disadvantages you may have against a "stronger" Pokémon, but at the same time, being more evenly matched will make for an easier battle.

* [[Statistic#Hit Points|HP]] (Hit Points): obviously more HP means you (or your opponent) can survive longer. Exact HP cannot actually be seen in-battle, so you may have to keep it in mind for your own Pokémon or try to guess it based on your opponent's CP.
* CP (Combat Power): this is a measure of a Pokémon's attack strength. It can also suggest a Pokémon's HP, as CP and HP usually increase together.
* Attack power: the power of your Pokémon's fast and special attacks. Most fast attacks are relatively weak while special attacks are generally stronger, sometimes significantly so. However, the requirement to charge your special attack means you won't be able to use it as often as your fast attack (especially for stronger special attacks).
* [[Type]]s: attacking and defending types also factor into damage just like in the core games.

==Defending your Gym==
When your team has a Gym, plenty of Trainers are required to work together so as to build up the Gym’s defense. Upon challenging a friendly Gym, you are helping it build their Prestige level up, so that more Pokémon can be used to defend the Gym.

To reinforce your friendly Gym, you need to walk up to that Gym, touch it to enter, and at the bottom of the screen, touch '''Add Pokémon''', and select the Pokémon you want to add to the Gym. Bear in mind that you can only add one Pokémon per Gym, so make sure to choose carefully.

Battles in a friendly Gym are similar to those fought in a rival one, although neither the Gym’s Pokémon nor Prestige level will be damaged. However, your Pokémon will be damaged, so you will need to heal them through items obtained at PokéStops.

The longer you keep on battling on that Gym, the better its Prestige level will be, eventually allowing another slot on the Pokémon list for defending the tower. The higher the Prestige level is, the longer it will take for Gyms to level up even further. For example, going from level 2 to 3 can be done in about two matches while going from Level 6 to 7 could take over ten matches.

==When interacting with other players==
While Pokémon GO does not currently feature any direct connection between players’ devices, there are still ways for players to interact at Gyms. If a tower on the map has explosions and battle signs, it means that the Gym is being challenged by other Trainers. You may choose to assist the challenger, even if they are on a different team. Joining a battle will allow both Trainers’ Pokémon to appear on each other’s screens and both Pokémon will be able to team up to defeat the defending Pokémon. Remember though that defeating a Gym leaves in its neutral stage. If you’re fighting alongside an opposing team member, you’ll have to be quick if you want to claim the Gym for yourself.

===Good sportsmanship===
As Pokémon Trainers, you should always practice good sportsmanship when interacting with others playing the game, especially when it comes to Gyms. Although we laugh and make jokes about the turf-war nature of teams controlling Gyms, they should never come at the expense of anyone’s enjoyment of the game. Here are a few tips for sportsmanship and Gym challenges.

* New players join the game every day and are not always able to understand the battle mechanics. If a Trainer challenges your Gym while you are present and asks you questions about how to play, don’t ignore them. Let them experience the thrill of defeating a Gym. Remember, Gym Leaders originally existed to give out Badges upon a loss and were expected to lose.
* If your Gym is conquered remind the new leader that they should claim their PokéCoins before someone else takes the now-weakened Gym.
* Don’t hang around a Gym that is being taken and then rush in to claim it without participating in the battle. It’s not fair to the players who had to battle the Gym to not get to benefit from it.
* Remember to be respectful of all players. This is a game that is meant to be enjoyed together. Bullying, discrimination, harassment, etc. does not create a welcoming community and will not encourage others to play the game.
* When you claim a new Gym consider training there for a bit to raise its Prestige level. This will allow other members of your team to quickly place other Pokemon in the Gym without having to defeat your strongest Pokémon and leveling Prestige themselves.
* Many Gyms are at locations such as churches, hospitals, and cemeteries. In some cases they may also be located at a place of residence, or in an area protected by a homeowner’s association or gated community. Always be aware of where Gyms are located and do not trespass. If asked by security, neighborhood watch, or local police to leave the premises, always be polite and comply. If a resident asks you to leave their property, apologize and comply.

==Benefits of combat in Gyms==
When you fight on Gyms, you will earn experience points, but you also win a daily reward for leaving a Pokémon on a Gym’s team.

In the Store menu, you will find a shield which will let you know how many Pokémon you have defending Gyms. You will earn 500 Stardust and 10 PokéCoins for every Gym held, having a maximum of ten Gyms. You can claim them every 21 hours, after of which the timer will refresh and you will have to wait until you can cash them in again. You could also bypass the timer and buy them instead.

==Current bugs encountered in Gyms==
Currently it has been reported by a number of Trainers that Gym battles can experience a number of issues that will result in the battle being inconclusive. Niantic has already stated that they are working on the problem and hopefully all bugs will sorted out quickly. We here at Bulbagarden have encountered some of these issues ourselves and have a couple tips that might help ease the frustration.

The most common bug is usually encountered in the final stage of a Gym battle, though it can sometimes occur earlier. When a Pokémon, usually the final defender, reaches 1 HP, it will be unable to lose any more hit points and the Gym will be unable to be defeated. While there has been no official explanation of the problem, it’s likely that this remains a server connection failure. The Gym is possibly attempting to update itself with the Pokémon GO servers and is unable to do so. In the event that you encounter this bug, it is possible to continue battling until a connection is reestablished, at which point Pokémon will be able to faint once more. If the glitch persists for more than 15 seconds, it is recommended that you close and reload Pokemon GO and attempt the battle again. Remember to check your Pokémon’s health before going into the battle. It’s possible that the last fight will still have been recorded and your team will require healing.

Another common bug occurs at the beginning of Gym battles. Sometimes, when the word “GO!” appears at the start of a match the battle will reset itself back to the main Gym screen. This sequence will continue in a never ending loop so long as the Trainer continues to attempt to challenge the Gym. While there is again no official explanation for this glitch we have personally experienced it most often when there are multiple users interacting with the same Gym. We suggest closing and reloading Pokemon GO as soon as you experience the glitch. Once you have returned to the overworld screen, begin walking away from the Gym until it returns to its collapsed tower form. Approach the Gym and attempt the battle again. We cannot guarantee 100% success with this method, but positive results have been repeatedly observed.

It should be noted that Gyms are currently more stable during non-peak hours of play. If you are able and willing, consider challenging Gyms before going to bed for the night. Please remember to always take safety measures when venturing out after dark. For more information on safety measures, please check the [[Appendix:Pokémon GO Player's Guide/Safety|Safety Guide]].

{{AdminLevels}}{{shortcut|2|Bcrat|BP:Bcrat}}
'''Bureaucrats''' on Bulbapedia are users which the {{bp|Editorial Board}} considers to go above and beyond being a normal administrator, and are the most important to the policy of the wiki aside from the Editorial Board itself.

{{bp|Senior Administrators}} may be promoted to Bureaucrat level if they have demonstrated significant dedication to the Bulbagarden community.

==List of Bureaucrats==
If in need of a Bureaucrat's assistance, please contact an '''Active''' Bureaucrat for quickest results; all active Bureaucrats generally check messages daily.

If an active Bureaucrat cannot be found, consider speaking with a member of the {{bp|Editorial Board}}.

==Authority==
Bureaucrats have authority over all users below them on the hierarchy, unless they are superseded by a member of the Editorial Board.

Bureaucrats have the power, in addition to all powers of the ranks below them, to add users to and remove users from the {{bp|Junior Administrator}}, {{bp|Administrator}}, and {{bp|Senior Administrator}} usergroups. The Editorial Board has a final say over their decision to do so. Bureaucrats can also edit pages in the MediaWiki {{bp|namespace}}, in order to change the appearance of the wiki, though again, approval by the Editorial Board should be sought before performing such an action. Bureaucrats may also hide revisions of a page from all users below the Bureaucrat ranking.

Bulbapedia:Staff

Masatoshi: It's not like I've been particularly helpful lately anyway.

{{AdminLevels}}{{shortcut|2|Staff|BP:Staff}}
Bulbapedia's '''staff''' consists of seven levels of power, ranging from {{bp|Junior Administrators}} to the {{bp|Webmasters}}. Being part of the staff of Bulbapedia gives users a special ranking on the [[Bulbagarden forums]], which allows them access to the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=192 Bulbapedia Administration] forum, where the inner workings of Bulbapedia's activities are discussed.

What Bulbapedia looks for in its staff is a willingness to contribute meaningfully above all. Expert knowledge of Bulbapedia's templates and style is one of the most major points of consideration for users to move up to the Junior Administrator level, while users are strongly encouraged to be more than just contributors. What makes Bulbapedia, and Bulbagarden as a whole, a community, is that we don't just have facts and figures put up by robots, but by individuals creative enough to come up with new and unique ways to state even the most boring of our subjects.

==List of staff==
The following are Bulbapedia's staff members in order of rank, which therein they are organized alphabetically. Other than exact rank, no user listed above another (unless otherwise noted) is of a higher rank than a user below them.

Masatoshi:

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

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

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! [[User:Tina|Tina]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|☆]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 21:18, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
== User Page Edits ==
You've just made many little edits for many little things. If you are creating your user page, you should put everything you want on there in one edit using the preview button so you could make one big edit instead of many little edits.--[[User:Taviource|Tavis]][[User talk:Taviource|ource]] 21:53, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
:Okay. [[User:Porygon-man|Porygon-man]] 21:55, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
::And just for a heads up, put colons before your post to make a break after the previous one. And I forgot to mention why you shouldn't do that. See, the user pages were all locked down for a long, long time, and the ban was just lifted on Monday. The cause of the ban was that too many people were editing their user pages too many times, which caused problems in the server. But don't worry, you aren't the only one who got this warning. All the others helping to spread the word had been warned too. Join the force in spreading this word. I have also heard rumors that the user page ban would return at the end of the week, so just to be safe, finish it quickly.--[[User:Taviource|Tavis]][[User talk:Taviource|ource]] 22:01, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Uhm...No offence, and i don't want to seem mean but please try to make less edits. Please use the Preview button to preview before you click "Save Page"...So if there's any mistakes you can stop them...Uhm...I don't want to seem mean...SO yeah D: [[User:Takoto|Takoto タコト]]| サソデイ = 愛 22:58, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

== Common courtesy ==

It should be assumed that if I'm uploading images of products that I'm also working on adding their information to the pages that need that information. (You used the images that I uploaded less than half an hour prior so I know you knew I was working on XY merch.) It is incredibly frustrating that after an hour of work, I'm edit conflicted by an edit that's only adding less than half of the content that I'm adding. Be mindful how the edits you are doing affect the bigger picture, and consider what is going on at a given point in time before jumping into a specific project. There's so much to be doing in the TCG section that we don't need wastefully working on the same thing at the same time. That effort can be incredibly useful elsewhere. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 22:01, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section.
