== Memory Girl ==

I saw your comment about a separate page for the Memory Girl. I've actually been doing some research on memories over the past few days since there's so little information about them out there (even Serebii doesn't have a page on them - HA!) Obviously as a new user I can't create the page myself, but if you could do it I'd be more than happy to contribute my findings. One thing though - should we have separate pages for the Memory Girl and the memory feature itself, or should everything be kept on one page? The memory page would have a list of all possible memories and feelings as well as what triggers each memory; I'm not sure if that would be too much to include on the character page or not.--[[User:Rebel Rebel|♪ Rebel Rebel]], [[User talk:Rebel Rebel|how could they know?]] [[Special:Contributions/Rebel Rebel|Hot tramp, I love you so! ♪]] 17:30, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
:Does the "memory" concept serve any role aside from the Memory Girl? If not, I don't see why we would want a separate memories page. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 17:33, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
::I hadn't considered that, good point. Having everything on one page seems like the best way to go. Although I wonder if maybe the page should be called Memories instead of Memory Girl, since the bulk of the information will be on the memories themselves rather than the character. On the other hand the memories are essentially character quotes, so I don't know. Whatever you decide is best.--[[User:Rebel Rebel|♪ Rebel Rebel]], [[User talk:Rebel Rebel|how could they know?]] [[Special:Contributions/Rebel Rebel|Hot tramp, I love you so! ♪]] 17:47, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

== [[Mossdeep City]] backdoor house ==

Is there perhaps a reason the QR Codes for the backdoor house are not on the wiki somewhere (like perhaps [[List of other event distributions in Generation VI]]; or on Mossdeep City itself, maybe in a gallery). You linked them in your edit summaries. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:54, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
:I think they should be on the wiki somewhere, I just didn't know where to put them. If you have a good place, by all means add them. I don't think they should be mixed in with other event distributions though. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:37, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

== PMD move mechanics. ==

So I was planning on researching PMD move workings in near future (so far, I've noticed that for some reason, there seems to be {{tt|two counters for drops and I have no idea how the other works|Normally, it caps at ±10, and so far [by playing Rescue Team] I've seen moves raise it by 1 or 2 and drop by 1 that work on normal cap}}, but seems to be cap at 4 uses). I've also noticed that German wiki has that nifty images to mark PMD targeting. The only place we have PMD info like that are the PMD-exclusive moves. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 12:38, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

== Dream World Artwork ==

The [[Roseli Berry]], [[Kee Berry]] and [[Maranga Berry]] articles each list their PGL artwork as Dream World Artwork despite these berries being introduced in Gen VI, and the fact that Gen VI does not have a Dream World. Shouldn't we change it from Dream World to PGL? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 01:39, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

== Heads-up on Soaring in the sky ==

Greetings. I hope it's okay if I'll leave my question here?
I feel like situation with duscussion of renaming Soaring in the sky went a bit too far with everything, not to telling about that aside of just decision to move it somethere, there's now also template asking about splitting it apart... and everyone in tell is now just talking about what suits them best in matters of article name, even though there's already redirects from alternative article name pages.
Maybe as member of Bulbapedia Staff, you can simply put an end to that discussion? i don't know... have a private discussion with other staff members on that topic for a bit, while talking on more important matters... as talk-page in Soaring in the sky now looks ridiculously long, as I see it.
Thanks for your attention. [[User:TLN|TLN]] ([[User talk:TLN|talk]]) 06:16, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

== NSW 2000 Crystal info ==

<ab>I'm not sure of the best place to put [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/event/sw2000/itiran/mgb/soft/crystal/ this] on the wiki. One of the screenshots is an early version of the PokéCom Club trade room ([http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,7191.0.html go here for a better copy]), while the other is the nurse asking which room the player wants to use for trading: Cable Club room or the PokéCom Club/mobile room (pic: モバイルと　ケーブル　どちらを　つかって　こうかん　しますか？; unused English text: ''Would you like to trade over a GAME LINK cable or by mobile phone?'')

The name "PokéCom Club" comes from unused English text, by the way ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wliHo3OuBc proof]). The Japanese version doesn't call it something different. つうしんクラブ is CABLE CLUB in the English versions and the green NPC in Cherrygrove's Pokémon Center also calls it COMMUNICATION CENTER.

<blockquote>There's a POKéCOM CLUB upstairs in any POKéMON CENTER. There, you can battle or trade with a friend far away by using a MOBILE ADAPTER.
To link up, your friend must have the same kind of MOBILE ADAPTER as you.</blockquote>
vs.
<blockquote>ポケモンセンター　２かいの　ポケモン　つうしん　クラブ　で　モバイルアダプタをつかって　とおくにいる　おともだちと　たいせんや　こうかんが　できます
つうしんは　おなじ　しゅるいの　モバイルアダプタを　つかっている　おともだちと　してください</blockquote>
Then again, the unused English text also calls it [https://github.com/iimarckus/iimarck.us/blob/master/dumps/dcrystal.txt#L27132 MOBILE ROOM], which I suppose is モバイルルーム in the Japanese version. </ab> — [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 18:12, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

== Template:Helditems ==

Could you please update [[Template:HeldItems]] so that it is compatable with OR and AS? I am asking you because you are familiar with how the template works and have done so for previous games. [[User:PartHunter|PartHunter]] ([[User talk:PartHunter|talk]]) 07:45, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
:Done. I really think that template needs to be overhauled so it is easier to maintain. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:26, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

== Memory indices ==

Why do you think the [[Memory Girl|memory]] indices are relevant? Is it just something like, for anyone who might want (and be able) to hack their Pokemon's memories? Personally, I don't see much use to be gotten out of adding the indices or a great benefit for most users.

FWIW, going by [http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?33024-Pkx-The-New-Pokemon-Format-For-Gen-6&p=182264&viewfull=1#post182264 a post] on the Project Pokemon forums by Kaphotics, it seems pretty clear that the game just uses a 0-based index into the list of memories or locations or feelings. And our lists are the same as the ORAS text dump, excepting the absence of a few memory indices in the text dump that apparently have no data (06, 09, 0C, 10, 15, 19, 1F, 2A, 2C, and 3C). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 13:19, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
:Personally, I like info to be as detailed as possible. It feels like it's similar to [[List of locations by index number (Generation VI)]]. Occasionally, these kind of things have relevance. However, it's incredibly minor and might not be worth the effort to collect them. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:23, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

== Wobbu-Palooza! characters ==

Are you fluent with Japanese and have access to the Japanese version of ''[[EP173|Wobbu-Palooza!]]''? There are two characters named Shinji and Yahichi who are created on my userspace. I can't tell who they are as their names were only listed in Pokeani and in a Japanese-related matter. Pokeani also lists Tatsuro who is on the same page as Shinji and Yahichi. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 02:25, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

== Help Requested! ==

Please verify that [[User:CycloneGU/Template:Sdex|my sdex template]] is set up correctly, then move it to that location (I thought of creating it there but held off) and assist in setting up the first reference at [[User:CycloneGU/List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle Browser number‎]]; I'll be able to do the rest from there. =) One thing that will be needed is the correct Pokémon images instead of the ones from other games, but that won't break the table if missing. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:37, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
:I'm going to need to look over it more carefully later, but the imediate issue I notice is that you're using "SDex", which refers to the Sinnoh Pokédex. Perhaps ShDex? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:57, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

== Zorua/Zoroark event-exclusives ==

Awhile ago, {{u|Solar Dragon}} and I had a [[User talk:Glik#Zorua/Zoruark and Deoxys|disagreement]] over Deoxys being the first event-exclusive to no longer be as such. I asked Arc about it, but she was [[User talk:ArcToraphim#Zorua, event-exclusive?|undecided]]. You've since altered Deoxys' trivia so that it's not an issue, but it still is for Zorua and Zoroark. Your thoughts? [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 21:44, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
:I'm going to say just call it non-notable trivia and forget about it. It's a "first" rather than an "only"; IMO, we should only really worry about "only", not "first". You also have to exclude transfers from spin-off games (e.g. Ranch Mew). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:08, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
::The current trivia for them isn't saying first to switch, but rather only non-Legendary to have ever been. Which, if considered true, I'd say is still notable. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 15:12, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
:::In that case, you're also ignoring Spiky-eared Pichu and the Rotom forms, although I guess you can since they are forms and not species. It's also ignoring Phione. I still think it's better to just leave it out. (If the trivia does stay though, it should be "non-Mythical and non-Legendary Pokémon".) --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:56, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

== [[User:CycloneGU/List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle Browser number|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle Browser number]] ==

I believe this page is ready to move to the mainspace as it is. However, the associated template, [[User:CycloneGU/Template:Sdex|Sdex]] (could be renamed to "ShDex" since Sdex is reserved for Sinnoh), might still use an improvement I want to ask about. Are we working to get the Pokémon Shuffle images on the Wiki for use instead of the other images in there? I know some fan sites already have all of them, but assume we are adding our own copies.

Other than the images question, I believe the pages are ready to be moved and would like your input. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 04:29, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

:I am still looking for input on whether these can be moved. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 23:28, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

== Soccer/Football ==

I won't go on about this, but "football" would only(!) be ambigous in the USA. *le sigh*

(Japanese: '''ウッシー''' ''Uschi'') is a character in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

He is a porter that bumps into {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} when they follow {{p|Diancie}} around the mall. He almost drops his load, but the others quickly grab them and return them to him.

Uschi is based on {{wp|Atsuto Uchida}}, a footballer who plays for the Japanese national team and participates in the {{wp|2014 FIFA World Cup}}, which was on course during the premiere of the film. Uchida himself also provided the voice for this character. A reference is made in that he is seen carrying a football.

Theres an error on the Politoed picture(anime shot). The top half of its belly is green instead of cream. I was wondering what ep. that was so I can put it in. [[User:Mooites|Mooites]] 02:23, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

==Tree Frog?==
It is likely based on a tree frog? Are you kidding me?
It's obviously based on either a toad or just some sort of not-tree frog. It's a water frog pokemon, if it was based on a tree frog it'd probably be grass. Even it's japanese name doesn't have anything to do with tree frogs. How is it in any way based on a tree frog? evidence please? [[User:Derian|[[Derian]]]]

Isn't "wordplay" more accurate than the current "misspelling"? "Misspelling" seems to imply that the spelling of Politoed is accidental. {{unsigned|PLA}}

==Cerulean City==
[[File:Cerulean City RBY.png|thumb|300px|Cerulean City]]

[[Cerulean City]] is a peaceful seaside city located in the north-central part of [[Kanto]]. Places of interest include the [[Miracle Cycle|Bike Shop]], [[Cerulean Gym]], and [[Cerulean Cave|a mysterious cave]] on the edge of town.

===A Rare Addition===
In the house next to the Pokémon Center is a girl who cares for injured Pokémon. She has nursed a {{p|Bulbasaur}} back to health, but now it needs a good Trainer to raise it properly.

===Gym Badge Man===
In the northwest house is a man who will explain the effects of the eight [[Badge|Gym Badges]]. The first five Badges enable the use of [[HM]] moves in the field. Four Badges increase a certain stat during battle, raising each respective skill to 112.5% of the normal value. The four other Badges ensure a Pokémon's obedience during battle. There is also a hidden [[Rare Candy]] in his back yard.

===Bike Shop===
The [[Miracle Cycle|Bike Shop]] has bicycles for sale, but the price is a whopping {{PDollar}}1,000,000! You can't carry that much cash, so it seems that you are out of luck for now.

===Something Shady===
The house behind the Gym is blocked off by a police officer. It seems that [[Team Rocket]] has stolen [[TM28|a valuable item]] from the people living here. Nothing can be done about this now, so set your sights on the Gym.

The [[Cerulean Gym]] specializes in {{type|Water}} Pokémon, so {{t|Grass}}- and {{type|Electric}} attacks will work wonders. This will likely be one of the easiest Gyms to defeat, as you have both {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Bulbasaur}} on your team. With moves like {{m|ThunderShock}} and {{m|Vine Whip}} at your disposal, you should have little trouble winning your second Badge.

Cerulean Gym is also one of the few buildings where wild Pokémon can be found and caught.

After he runs off, there are sixteen Trainers between [[Cerulean City]] and the [[Cerulean Cape|Sea Cottage]]; luckily you can backtrack to the Pokémon Center to heal up as necessary. When you beat the five Trainers on the bridge, a disguised [[Team Rocket]] Grunt tries to get you to join the organization. He attacks when you decline his offer, but gives up a valuable {{DL|Valuable item|Nugget}} when you defeat him.

There is [[Damian|a guy]] on the hill who thinks that he should release his {{p|Charmander}} because he is no good at raising Pokémon. Agree to take good care of it and it's yours! Pick up {{TM|45|Thunder Wave}} before leaving; this non-damaging move causes {{status|paralysis}}, which can be useful when catching new Pokémon.

==Route 25==
[[File:Kanto Route 25 RBY.png|thumb|400px|Route 25]]

There are nine more Trainers to fight on your way to the cape. One of them is standing in a line of trees, and you'll need to lure him out with a battle to reach the {{TM|19|Seismic Toss}} lying behind him. {{m|Seismic Toss}} can be helpful against durable Pokémon because it inflicts damage equal to the user's level, regardless of the combatants' {{stat|Attack}} or {{stat|Defense}}.

[[File:Sea Cottage interior RBY.png|thumb|right|Bill as a Pokémon]]
===Sea Cottage===
The Sea Cottage on [[Cerulean Cape]] belongs to [[Bill]], a famous Pokémon researcher. His latest experiment has gone wrong, and his DNA was combine with that of a Pokémon! He asks for your help, so when he steps into the machine, activate the program on his PC to return him to normal. As thanks, he gives you an {{key|I|S.S. Ticket}}. This ticket lets you board the [[S.S. Anne|luxury cruiseliner]] that is docked in [[Vermilion City]], which also happens to be the location of the third Gym. Before leaving the cape, re-enter the cottage and check out Bill's PC to view his favorite Pokémon, the [[Eeveelution|Eevee family]]. This adds {{p|Vaporeon|three}} {{p|Jolteon|new}} {{p|Flareon|pages}} to your Pokédex.

{{-}}
==Cerulean City==
Back in {{ci|Cerulean}}, you'll see that the officer blocking the burgled house has move out of the way. Inside lie obvious signs of a break-in, including muddy footprints, overturned plants, and a gaping hole in the wall that was used as an escape route. Step through the hole to find the thief.

When he loses, the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket}} hands over the stolen [[TM28]] before running off. {{m|Dig}} is useful when in a cave, as it instantly returns you to the entrance.

==Route 5==
[[File:Kanto Route 5 RBY.png|thumb|Route 5]]

The tall grass here is home to a few new Pokémon. An {{p|Abra}} is always quick to {{m|teleport}} away, meaning that you'll need to be even faster to prevent that. It's a good idea to have a {{p|Jigglypuff}} {{m|sing}} it to {{status|sleep}}, or have Pikachu {{status|paralyze}} it with {{m|Thunder Wave}}, before throwing a Poké Ball.

You can't get through the [[gate]] to [[Saffron City]] yet, so take the [[Underground Path (Kanto Routes 5-6)|Underground Path]] to {{rt|6|Kanto}}. At the north end is a woman who offers to trade her {{p|Machoke}} for your {{p|Cubone}}.

===Pokémon Daycare===
The house on the hill is the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. The old man inside will raise one Pokémon at a time for you while you are away. A Pokémon left here will gain one [[Experience|experience point]] for every step you take. If you bought the {{p|Magikarp}} near [[Mt. Moon]], this is a good way to raise it. The downside is that he will make every decision for you; he may delete a move you like, or ignore a new move. He charges {{PDollar}}100, plus another {{PDollar}}100 for every new level, to return a Pokémon.

MasterZeroFlash: /* Gym Badge Man */

==Cerulean City==
[[File:Cerulean City RBY.png|thumb|300px|Cerulean City]]

[[Cerulean City]] is a peaceful seaside city located in the north-central part of [[Kanto]]. Places of interest include the [[Miracle Cycle|Bike Shop]], [[Cerulean Gym]], and [[Cerulean Cave|a mysterious cave]] on the edge of town.

===A Rare Addition===
In the house next to the Pokémon Center is a girl who cares for injured Pokémon. She has nursed a {{p|Bulbasaur}} back to health, but now it needs a good Trainer to raise it properly.

===Gym Badge Man===
In the northwest house is a man who will explain the effects of the eight [[Badge|Gym Badges]]. The first five Badges enable the use of [[HM]] moves in the field. Four Badges increase a certain stat during battle, raising each respective skill to 112.5% of the normal value. The four other Badges ensure a Pokémon's obedience during battle. There is also a hidden Rare Candy in his back yard.

===Bike Shop===
The [[Miracle Cycle|Bike Shop]] has bicycles for sale, but the price is a whopping {{PDollar}}1,000,000! You can't carry that much cash, so it seems that you are out of luck for now.

===Something Shady===
The house behind the Gym is blocked off by a police officer. It seems that [[Team Rocket]] has stolen [[TM28|a valuable item]] from the people living here. Nothing can be done about this now, so set your sights on the Gym.

===Cerulean Gym===

{{sign|RBY|footer}}

The [[Cerulean Gym]] specializes in {{type|Water}} Pokémon, so {{t|Grass}}- and {{type|Electric}} attacks will work wonders. This will likely be one of the easiest Gyms to defeat, as you have both {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Bulbasaur}} on your team. With moves like {{m|ThunderShock}} and {{m|Vine Whip}} at your disposal, you should have little trouble winning your second Badge.

Defeated, [[Misty]] awards you the {{badge|Cascade}}, which ensures your Pokémon's obedience up to level 30, even those you got in a trade. It also enables the use of {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Misty then presents you with {{TM|11|BubbleBeam}} as a prize.

Cerulean Gym is also one of the few buildings where wild Pokémon can be found and caught.

After he runs off, there are sixteen Trainers between [[Cerulean City]] and the [[Cerulean Cape|Sea Cottage]]; luckily you can backtrack to the Pokémon Center to heal up as necessary. When you beat the five Trainers on the bridge, a disguised [[Team Rocket]] Grunt tries to get you to join the organization. He attacks when you decline his offer, but gives up a valuable {{DL|Valuable item|Nugget}} when you defeat him.

===Sea Cottage===
The Sea Cottage on [[Cerulean Cape]] belongs to [[Bill]], a famous Pokémon researcher. His latest experiment has gone wrong, and his DNA was combine with that of a Pokémon! He asks for your help, so when he steps into the machine, activate the program on his PC to return him to normal. As thanks, he gives you an {{key|I|S.S. Ticket}}. This ticket lets you board the [[S.S. Anne|luxury cruiseliner]] that is docked in [[Vermilion City]], which also happens to be the location of the third Gym. Before leaving the cape, re-enter the cottage and check out Bill's PC to view his favorite Pokémon, the [[Eeveelution|Eevee family]]. This adds {{p|Vaporeon|three}} {{p|Jolteon|new}} {{p|Flareon|pages}} to your Pokédex.

==Cerulean City==
Back in {{ci|Cerulean}}, you'll see that the officer blocking the burgled house has move out of the way. Inside lie obvious signs of a break-in, including muddy footprints, overturned plants, and a gaping hole in the wall that was used as an escape route. Step through the hole to find the thief.

When he loses, the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket}} hands over the stolen [[TM28]] before running off. {{m|Dig}} is useful when in a cave, as it instantly returns you to the entrance.

==Route 5==
[[File:Kanto Route 5 RBY.png|thumb|Route 5]]

The tall grass here is home to a few new Pokémon. An {{p|Abra}} is always quick to {{m|teleport}} away, meaning that you'll need to be even faster to prevent that. It's a good idea to have a {{p|Jigglypuff}} {{m|sing}} it to {{status|sleep}}, or have Pikachu {{status|paralyze}} it with {{m|Thunder Wave}}, before throwing a Poké Ball.

You can't get through the [[gate]] to [[Saffron City]] yet, so take the [[Underground Path (Kanto Routes 5-6)|Underground Path]] to {{rt|6|Kanto}}. At the north end is a woman who offers to trade her {{p|Machoke}} for your {{p|Cubone}}.

===Pokémon Daycare===
The house on the hill is the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. The old man inside will raise one Pokémon at a time for you while you are away. A Pokémon left here will gain one [[Experience|experience point]] for every step you take. If you bought the {{p|Magikarp}} near [[Mt. Moon]], this is a good way to raise it. The downside is that he will make every decision for you; he may delete a move you like, or ignore a new move. He charges {{PDollar}}100, plus another {{PDollar}}100 for every new level, to return a Pokémon.

'''Bruno''' (Japanese: '''シバ''' ''Siba'') is a {{pkmn|Master}} {{type|Fighting}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Elite Four]] of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

==In the games==
Bruno is a member of the [[Elite Four]]. He raises Fighting-type Pokémon, living with them and training with them. He joined the Elite Four out of a desire to challenge the best Trainers. Although he trains Fighting Pokémon, he also uses Onix and its evolution and his strongest Pokémon is always his Machamp.

Bruno regularly visits the [[Sevii Islands]]. He and his Pokémon use the spa on [[Knot Island]], and he visits [[Boon Island]] to buy [[Rage Candy Bar|RageCandyBars]].

[[Brawly]] is a former training partner of Bruno's.

In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Bruno continues to be a member of the Elite Four, having moved up in position one level.

[[File:Bruno anime.png|left|thumb|220px|Bruno in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Bruno's only appearance has been in ''[[EP071|To Master the Onixpected!]]''. While {{Ash}} was preparing for the [[Pokémon League]] in Kanto, he found out that Bruno was training in the mountains near [[Pallet Town]]. {{an|Brock}} was enthusiastic about meeting Bruno, so they took {{an|Misty}} and headed towards the mountains. In the local mountains, it was known that {{p|Onix}} grew much larger than usual.

After Bruno saved them from one of the giant Onix, Ash and Brock begged for Bruno to take them on as students. Bruno agreed, as long as Ash and Brock would do anything he said. Bruno had them chop wood, carry water, and carve chopsticks—among other chores. Misty began to suspect that Bruno was a phony.

Brock decided to prove how amazing Bruno was by surprising him with a sneak attack. He assumed that Bruno's reflexes would be so amazing, he'd stop Brock with ease. Brock nearly ended up knocking Bruno unconscious. Bruno admitted that he didn't know any secret techniques on how to train Pokémon and just wanted to have someone to do chores for him.

Later, the kids were again chased by a giant Onix. The giant Pokémon was upset because a Sandslash was stuck between two of its boulders. Bruno removed Sandslash, calmed Onix, and it decided to join his team. Bruno then said that the only true secret behind Pokémon training is that Trainers and their Pokémon should care for each other.

Bruno has amazing physical power and agility in the anime, and appears capable of using them with almost superhuman expertise.

When Ash and the others asked what Pokémon he was going to use, Bruno shocked them by telling that he wasn't going to use any Pokémon. Bruno soon found the reason for Onix's agony: a {{p|Sandslash}} had been stuck inside of it. After Sandslash was removed, Onix became very thankful for Bruno and accepted to come with him, so Bruno threw his [[Poké Ball]] at Onix and captured it.}}

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Bruno Adventures.png|thumb|260px|Bruno and his Pokémon]]
Bruno was primarily a villain. He challenged {{adv|Red}} to a Pokémon battle in a remote area and fought him evenly, defeating [[Poli]] and injuring his [[Pika]]chu and [[Gyara]]dos. Afterwards, his comrades [[Agatha]] and [[Lorelei]] then offered a position on the Elite Four to Red for his battling prowess, but Red refused so Lorelei froze him using her expanding ice cuffs. Many of his Machop were seen to decoy [[Pewter City]] and keep Brock at bay before stealing his Badge.

Later, the Elite Four were at [[Cerise Island]] unleashing the final part of their plan: to destroy humanity. {{Adv|Bill}} and [[Lt. Surge]] encountered Bruno near an acidic river, with his two Onix acting as bridges. The battle took place with Bruno standing on one Onix, and his opponents standing on the other. When Yellow and Blaine came along it was also revealed that he put up a barrier to stop any intruders from entering so a fair battle could be fought. Bill and Lt. Surge eventually gained the upper hand by combining {{p|Exeggcute}}'s {{m|Egg Bomb}} with {{p|Electrode}}'s {{m|Explosion}} to make the Onix collapse and make them all fall except Lt. Surge had his {{p|Magneton}} create a {{m|Barrier}} to keep them elevated. It later was revealed that Bruno really used his Hitmonlee's legs to keep him hanging on, and Agatha's mind-controlling armbands then forced him to try and drag Surge down to the acid, only to be saved by a stranger with a [[Saur|Venusaur]] riding a bike. Red then came, revealed himself, and defeated Bruno using [[Vee]] with new found control of its evolutions.

It was later revealed that Bruno was an unwilling member, and only strived to be the best fighter there is. [[Agatha]] used the mind controlling abilities of her {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to force Bruno to join. Due to this he was suffering memory loss and questions why he was in the Elite Four, so he couldn't even realize that he was being controlled.

Without any place to go, Bruno allied with three other ex-members of criminal organizations: [[Will]], [[Karen]], and [[Koga]]. Bruno apparently saved Koga when Cerise was about to collapse, and they both met Will and Karen in [[Ilex Forest]] at the end of the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}. The new Elite Four, as they would later be known as, were not seen in action until much later, in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}.

Bruno attaches his [[Poké Ball]]s to the ends of a nunchuck. The force of him using the weapon causes his Pokémon to be released at high speeds, giving him the advantage in battles. He also has a unique Hitmonlee with arms as flexible as its legs, something previously thought to be impossible. It has also been mentioned, similarly to the Generation III main games, that Bruno used to train with [[Brawly]], now a Gym Leader in Hoenn.

|desc={{p|Hitmonlee}} is Bruno's main Pokémon that specializes in kicking. He was known to have very strong legs as he was able to destroy Bill's house in one single kick and in other violent activities. He was used in a battle against Red on [[Mt. Moon]]. During their battle, Hitmonlee was able to land hefty damage on Red's [[Pika]], who was aiming for its knee but soon found that its elastic, spring-like legs made the feat virtually impossible. Soon afterwards, after [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]] joined the fray (and the latter activated the mind-controlling wristbands that she had Bruno wear), it was used alongside the former's {{p|Jynx}} and the latter's {{p|Gastly}} to defeat [[Poli]], [[Saur]], and [[Gyara]]. Hitmonlee was later used in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, where it fought with [[Koga]]'s Ekans against [[Lance's Dragonite]], but to no avail.

Hitmonlee's known moves are {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, {{m|Rolling Kick}} and {{m|Mega Kick}}.}}

Despite a type disadvantage against [[Gyara|Red's Gyarados]], it was able to hold its own and deftly avoid super-effective hits from its {{type|Water}} attacks. Afterwards, it used its {{m|Bind}} to keep the Gyarados from attacking at all, only to take damage from the latter's {{m|Bite}}. It then dug underground to launch a surprise attack, and this time faced off against [[Saur]]. However, before that fight could conclude, it was interrupted by a pack of {{p|Diglett}} crossing, and later Bruno's [[Elite Four]] comrades [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]]. A while later, it fought Bill and Lt. Surge on Cerise Island. He uses it this time to battle Red again. Onix was used to carry Red and the others off of Cerise Islands as it was collapsing.}}

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[File:Bruno PM.png|thumb|left|Bruno in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
[[File:Bruno PM 2.png|thumb|Bruno as a Johto Elite Four member]]
Bruno first appears in ''[[PM034|Clefairy's Under Training!!]]''. When {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} and {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} were out in a garden, they notice Bruno training with his {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}. Bruno invites them over and the first thing he has them do was go under a waterfall. After the waterfall training, he has them break some bricks. Afterwards, Bruno has them meditate. During meditation, Clefairy, for some odd reason, decides to disrupt the training, much to everyone's ire. This is when Bruno reveals himself as one of the Elite Four. Clefairy then starts to mess up his hair which resulted in Clefairy getting booted out of the dojo.

Bruno called out his Machamp and two Onix to handle Clefairy after forcing Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan to fight each other. However, they almost managed to defeat Clefairy if Pikachu didn't help him out in escaping.

Bruno reappears in ''[[PM106|A Challenge to the Elite Four]]'' where it was revealed that he is part of the Johto Elite Four. He, along with [[Koga]] and [[Will]] fell from the [[Indigo Plateau|Elite Four Tower]], seemly defeated by [[Karen]]. Red ask them what happened, but Koga ask him to ask Karen herself. It is later revealed that after being exhausted from training, Karen decided to tell them a joke, and they fell down the building after hearing her dumb joke.

==Trivia==
* Bruno's hair has changed from [[Generation II]] to [[Generation III]] to a longer, darker style; his skin tone became lighter as well.
* In Generation III, Bruno's overworld sprite always looks to right after being defeated.
* Bruno's original sprite in [[Generation I]] and overworld sprites in [[Generation II]] and {{Gen|III}} show him with remarkably closed eyes (somewhat similar to [[Brock]]'s), similar to his Pokémon Adventures version, but starting in the next generation, he looks the same way he did in the anime.
* Bruno was the first member of the [[Elite Four]] who was met in the anime, not counting [[Koga]], who was not a member at the time of his appearance.
* None of Bruno's sprites have ever shown him standing up.
* Bruno, [[Lance]], [[Koga]] and [[Caitlin]] are the only Elite Four members who have appeared in more than one generation (excluding [[remake]]s).
** Bruno, Lance, and Koga are the only members of the Elite Four who have appeared in all the generations prior to [[Generation V]]. Of the three, Bruno is the only one to always keep his status as an Elite Four member.
* Despite taking place three years later, Bruno's Pokémon are at a lower level in Generation II than they were in Generation I. The same thing happens to [[Lance]] and {{ga|Blue}}.
* Bruno, [[Will]] and [[Koga]] are the only Elite Four members to have the same type specialty as a Gym Leader of their specific regions.
* Bruno has an [[Game move errors|illegal]] Exeggutor in Pokémon Stadium 2: {{m|Ancient Power}} is an Egg move, while {{m|Explosion}} is a [[Generation I]] TM.

MasterZeroFlash: /* Is Q the Only Way? */

==A Mistake and a Question==
Before I changed the page it said "Charizard 'M can be found in all slots from 248 to 255", which is not true, I have tested it, though there is a another 'M found in between Slots 248 and 255 (I think the Hex was FE or FD), it is NOT the same glitch as 'M or Charizard 'M. As for my question, in TR Rose's GlitchDex it says in Charizard 'M's page "Although Charizard 'M seems to be the most common form (possibly caused by a blank spot in your party), this glitch can also be a glitched version of other Pokemon, such as Gengar, Machop, or Butterfree. A Gengar form of this glitch appeared after a trainer used the Extended Mew Trick to obtain a regular Gengar. The glitch will have the same elemental types as the other Pokemon, but will learn very different level-up moves." Has anyone EVER had this happen? Trust me, my Favorite Glitch is Charizard 'M and I have tried this so many times, but to no avail with this. --[[User:Boxman|Boxman]], a Guy who works with Glitches. 23:56, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

== Gameshark ==

I just got a Charizard 'M by using a Gameshark and Pokemon Blue. I put in the code for Professor Oak and then once he came on screen, I turned the code off. One of his Pokemon was a Charizard 'M. Then I used the catch trainer's Pokemon code to catch it. It was different than what was explained on the article, though. First off, I caught it, and the article said it was only available by trading a Q from Yellow. Second, it had my name for original trainer, its ID was #006, and it appeared in the Pokedex. I didn't try to name it, but I think it asked me. Its name wasn't in my list though, just a blank space. At first it seemed pretty normal. It didn't make my Pokemon invisible and I could heal it at a Pokemon Center. The only thing that happened was that when I switched it with another Pokemon, it turned into Charizard 'M, and my Pokemon's names messed up, but when I switched it back, everything was fine. No sign that anything happened. I think mine might be a different Charizard 'M, because when I battled it, its sprite wasn't backward, as depicted in the article. I will change the article though, to explain that it is available by use of Gameshark. If anyone tries this using a Gameshark, please comment and tell me if yours acts the same way.

The article indicates that "Charizard 'M only gets STAB from normal type moves," and it gives http://glitchcity.info/docs/q as a source. However, that page says nothing about STAB, and that website's Charizard 'M page says nothing about it either. Does anyone know if this is true for certain? Another thing is that our move list only indicates STAB for two of the Normal moves and one is a non-attacking move. Is this intentional? — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 20:00, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Pokémon merge glitch

2015-02-15T11:06:19Z

MasterZeroFlash: /* External links */

[[File:Charizard M Magikarp.png|frame|An [[unstable hybrid Pokémon]] with the donor being [['M (FF)]] and the recipient being {{p|Magikarp}}]]
The '''Pokémon merge glitch''', commonly known as the '''Q ◣ glitch''', is a glitch enabled by the [[glitch Pokémon]] [[Q ◣]] and [['M (FF)]]. It involves depositing Q ◣ and other Pokémon into the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in a certain order, which then causes the Pokémon's [[move]]s and [[stats]] to be transferred between each other, creating an [[unstable hybrid Pokémon]].

==Performing the glitch==
First, the player must have a Q ◣ or 'M (FF), at least one Pokémon above it and two Pokémon below it, all in the [[party]]. The Pokémon below the Q ◣ or 'M (FF) will be the 'donor' to the Pokémon below it; that Pokémon will then be the donor to the Pokémon below it, etc. The Q ◣ or 'M (FF) will appear in the top slot where the deposited Pokémon was, but also stay in its original spot and be the donor to the Pokémon directly below it. Each Pokémon is now an 'unstable hybrid' of it and the Pokémon that was below it. An unstable hybrid cannot be traded to Pokémon Gold, Silver, or Crystal. An unstable hybrid displays the sprite, mini-sprite and type of the 'donor' Pokémon, and evolves in the same way as it. It has the species name (shown on the second page of the summary screen), learnset, TM/HM compatibility and effective type combination of the donor Pokémon. An unstable hybrid Pokémon has the color palette of the recipient, and those created with the Pokémon merge glitch have the recipient's nickname.

===Stabilizing===
{{main|Unstable hybrid Pokémon}}
To stabilize an [[unstable hybrid Pokémon]], a Pokémon can be evolved (in the way the donor would), traded to Pokémon Stadium 2 (this makes both species bytes match the recipient), or deposited and withdrawn from [[Pokémon Day Care]] (this makes both species bytes match the recipient). Once stabilized, the Pokémon can be traded to the Generation II games.

Gym

2014-03-16T10:22:02Z

MasterZeroFlash: /* In other languages */ Added Swedish

[[File:Gym Symbol.png|thumb|150px|The Gym symbol, introduced in [[Generation V]]]]
A '''Gym''' (Japanese: '''ジム''' ''Gym'') is a place where [[Pokémon Trainer]]s go to train their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Just like real life {{wp|Gym|gymnasium}}s, where one can go to work out and build physical strength, Pokémon Gyms are places where Trainers can go to sharpen their {{pkmn|battle|battling}} skills and where their Pokémon can go to gain [[experience]].

Often specializing in a particular [[type]], Gyms create an environment which allows Trainers to test both their skills and Pokémon against those of others. The most powerful Trainer in a given Gym is called the [[Gym Leader]], who is revered by both the lower-ranking members of the Gym and local fans. In the games, there is [[Gym guide|a character]] that usually stands near the front door of each Gym, giving tips on how to beat the Gym's challenges.

==Official Gyms==
Gyms that are certified by the [[Pokémon League]] are vital to a Pokémon Trainer's journey. Leagues are designed so that conventional Trainers must travel far and wide before entering a [[Pokémon League#Types of competitions|League Competition]], as the only way to enter one is by gaining at least eight official Gym [[Badge]]s, and there can only be one official Gym per city. Usually, the Gyms are designed to follow and suit the [[type]] that the Gym specializes in. For example, [[Wattson]]'s Gym has electric gates to indicate that it is {{t|Electric}}. However, there are also Gyms that do not practice this, like [[Viridian Gym]] and [[Cinnabar Gym]], for example.

===In the games===
In the games, most Gyms feature a number of Trainers that the player may face before battling the Gym Leader. Their teams typically consist of the same [[type]] of Pokémon that the Gym Leader has. These Trainers cannot be battled after the Gym Leader has been defeated.

In all regions so far, the [[Gym guide]] routinely stands at the entrance of the Gym, giving the player advice about the type advantages corresponding to the signature type of the Gym Leader.

There are eight known official Gyms in each [[region]].

===In the anime===
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Gary Oak]] reveals that he has more than eight Badges, suggesting that there are more Gyms in the anime than {{player}}s are given access to in the {{pkmn|games}}. Specifically, he has at least ten Badges excluding the {{Badge|Earth}}. Before the [[Indigo League]] competition, Ash encounters [[Otoshi]] in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]''; he owns eight Badges, but only shares four in common with Ash. Later in the episode, another {{pkmn|Trainer}} appears with eight other completely different Badges. In total, Ash, Gary, [[Otoshi]] and the other Trainer displayed 27 different types of Badges prior to competing in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], so there must have been at least this number of official Gyms in the anime version of Kanto at the time.

Whilst on her journey collecting Badges, [[Sakura]] collected Badges from both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], so it is unclear what the rules are for competing in championship tournaments.

At the Hoenn Pokémon League Championship, [[Morrison]] is shown to have an eighth Badge different from Ash's, suggesting that there are at least 9 official Gyms in Hoenn. Many believe it could be a Badge from {{Ci|Slateport}} or {{to|Pacifidlog}}.

During ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', in the Sinnoh saga, {{an|Barry}} was seen to have a Badge that is not present in the games.
Barry was seen with two more unknown Badges in ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', two of which also appeared in [[Nando]]'s ownership in ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]''.

=====Orange Archipelago=====
The [[Orange Archipelago]] also contains its own league, complete with its own Gyms:

==Unofficial Gyms==
===In the games===
====Saffron City Dojo====
{{Main|Fighting Dojo}}
The Trainers of this Gym specialize in {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. It used to be an official Gym until [[Sabrina]] defeated its Leader, [[Kiyo]]. After the player defeats the Dojo's Karate Master Kiyo, he will give the player either {{p|Hitmonlee}} or {{p|Hitmonchan}} as a reward.

====Prestige Precept center====
{{main|Prestige Precept Center}}
Also known as the Pre Gym, this unofficial Gym of [[Phenac City]] doubles as an {{pkmn|academy}}. In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], its Leader, [[Justy]], will not battle the Trainer until they have at least six Pokémon, and will give away {{TM|27|Return}}.

===In the anime===
====A.J.'s Gym====
This Gym is run solely by the Trainer [[A.J.]], and is notable for its rigorous training methods. It is unknown what prize if any A.J. gave to any victorious challengers, because he left it to enter the [[Pokémon League]] after he defeated 100 challengers in a row using only his {{p|Sandshrew}}. This Gym appears in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''.

====Fighting Spirit Gym====
This Gym was run by {{ka|Anthony}}, who was training his {{p|Hitmonchan}} for the [[P1 Grand Prix]]. It did not appear to be used for actual [[Pokémon battle]]s. Instead, it had the appearance of a {{wp|gym}} used for training and exercising.

====Kaz Gym====
This Gym in [[Dark City]] wanted to become an official Gym to earn money, but was rejected by the [[Pokémon League]]. It has Pokémon of various types, but its primary Pokémon is an {{p|Electabuzz}}. This Gym appears in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'' and is run by [[Kaz]].

====Yas Gym====
This Gym in [[Dark City]] wanted to become an official Gym to earn money, but was rejected by the [[Pokémon League]]. The Gym Trainers specialize in [[Fighting]] but the Gym Leader's Pokémon is a {{p|Scyther}}. This Gym appears in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'' and is run by [[Yas]].

====Coastline Gym====
This is an unofficial Gym that was featured in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''. It is located on the outskirts of [[Blackthorn City]]. Led by [[Dorian]], the Gym specializes in {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Unlike the other Water-type Gyms, Dorian holds his battles underwater.

Although the Gym is unofficial, Dorian is hoping that by word of mouth it will become more popular. In fact, after {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited the Gym, they promised they would tell everyone at the [[Silver Conference]] about it. However, it hasn't been mentioned since then.

====Powerzone Gym====
This is an unofficial Gym run by [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]''. They used the Gym as a method of training and building strategies, however they were on a losing streak until a [[Brock's Croagunk|wild Croagunk]] appeared and was used as Jessie's powerhouse.

===In the TCG===
This listing is of cards that feature [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]]-exclusive Gyms, which focus on altering a certain gameplay mechanic.

==Differences between generations==
Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|V}} have a unique design for each Gym (except [[Cinnabar Gym]], which is destroyed). However, in Generation II, the only difference is the shape and color of the roof, with the exception of Saffron and Cerulean Gyms.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Gyms. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: かてるまで　なんどもちょうせん　ポケモンジム ''Kateru made nandomo chōsen, Pokémon Jimu'' "Until you win, battle again and again; that is a Pokémon Gym."
** This is also the episode {{TRT}} set up a fake Gym, with [[Jessie]] acting as its Leader.
* In [[Generation I]], {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|fishing in statues|a glitch}} allows Trainers to [[fishing|fish]] in the statues at the front of the Gyms.
* No known Gym has specialized in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
* As the [[Fighting Dojo]] in Kanto was once official, every region except [[Unova]] has had a {{type|Fighting}} Gym at one time.
** Despite the above fact, there has been a Fighting-type specialist in every region, either as a Gym Leader or an Elite Four member.
** A {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the [[Glitter Lighthouse]] also says Jasmine used to specialize in {{type|Rock}} Pokémon, meaning every region except [[Unova]] has had a {{type|Rock}} Gym at one time.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, each Gym's frame is colored according to the type, except for the [[Viridian Gym]], which has no specialist type. The Viridian Gym's frame is green.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Walking Pokémon|walking Pokémon]] are not allowed in the [[Blackthorn Gym]] and [[Viridian Gym]] because the flooring is unstable. Coincidentally, both Gyms are the last of the Gyms challenged in Johto and Kanto respectively.
* Eight of the eleven Unova Gyms serve dual purposes, both as a place of battle and as a service; [[Striaton Gym]] is a restaurant, [[Nacrene Gym]] is a museum, [[Castelia Gym]] is a gallery showcasing the paintings of the [[Gym Leader]] [[Burgh]], [[Nimbasa Gym]] is a set of roller coasters to go with the Ferris Wheel in [[Nimbasa City]] in [[Pokémon Black and White]] or a fashion show catwalk in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], [[Driftveil Gym]] is a mining operation, [[Mistralton Gym]] is an airfield, [[Aspertia Gym]] is a school, and [[Virbank Gym]] is a music club.
** In Generation V and VI, Gyms do not take on a single appearance, their look being customized to suit the Gym Leader's specialist type. Gyms had only previously had unique designs in Generation II, where the roof colors differed.
* In Pokémon Black and White 2, every Gym has, with the exception of [[Aspertia Gym]], a unique remix of the usual Pokémon Gym theme music.

Gym Leader

2014-03-16T10:20:27Z

MasterZeroFlash: /* In other languages */ Added Swedish

A '''Gym Leader''' (Japanese: '''ジムリーダー''' ''Gym Leader'') is the highest-ranking member of a Pokémon [[Gym]]. The main job of a Gym Leader is to test {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their Pokémon so that they are strong and resourceful enough to compete against the [[Elite Four]] in the games or the [[Pokémon League]] in the anime. If a Trainer defeats a Gym Leader in battle, then the Trainer earns that Gym's [[Badge]].

A Gym Leader's job is not just to test upcoming Trainers. They must oversee how their respective Gym is run and to maintain it. Great care must be taken to make sure that their Gym reflects the best environment for the Pokémon [[type]] and playing style of choice, usually an environment that suits that type of Pokémon used there (like pools in a {{type|Water}} Gym or flowers and plants in a {{type|Grass}} Gym). According to [[Morty]], teaching young people how to battle with Pokémon can also be the job of a Gym Leader.

It has not exactly been made clear how Gym Leaders attain their position, but it appears that it varies for each Gym. Some of them founded their Gym and are self-appointed; others, such as [[Whitney]], are chosen by the other members of the region's Pokémon League. A few appear to be passed on through families: [[Janine]], [[Falkner]], and [[Flannery]] all take over their respective Gyms from a close family member. However, Gyms do not necessarily belong to a particular family; [[Roark]] and his father [[Byron]] are both Gym Leaders at the same time, in different Gyms. Leaders can also choose to vacate their position; examples include [[Koga]], [[Giovanni]], and [[Wallace]].

Although similar in nature, [[Frontier Brain]]s, [[Colosseum Leader]]s and [[Club Master]]s are not considered Gym Leaders.

==Pokémon used==
Almost all Leaders rely on a single [[type]] of Pokémon. For example, [[Erika]] uses only {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in official Gym {{pkmn|battle}}s. Some Leaders, however, stray from this mold, albeit rarely. This is evidenced by the different types used by {{ga|Blue}} during his reign as the Gym Leader of the [[Viridian Gym]] in Generation II and IV, although he is the only Gym Leader to do so. However, many Gym Leaders have one or two Pokémon that stray from their type theme.

Geography and climate can often be connected to the type of Pokémon the Gym Leader of that area uses. [[Pastoria Gym]] Leader, [[Crasher Wake]], uses {{type|Water}} Pokémon, a direct allusion to the flooded marsh that surrounds the area and the constant downpour that plagues [[Pastoria City]]. Another example of this is the [[Cinnabar Gym]] Leader, [[Blaine]], who uses {{type|Fire}} Pokémon and lives in a volcanic area.

The character archetype can also reflect the type of Pokémon a Leader uses. For example, [[Roark]] and [[Byron]] are both miners, who use the related {{t|Rock}}- and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. [[Tate and Liza]] could be based on the archetype of twins who can communicate telepathically, and thus train {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon and being twins, they also battle opposing Trainers in Double Battles, being the only Leaders to do so.

==In the games==
[[File:Vs Brawly.png‎|frame|right|Leader [[Brawly]] challenges the player]]A '''Leader''' (Japanese: '''ジムリーダー''' ''Gym Leader'') is the [[Trainer class]] name given to the Gym Leaders when they are battled in the [[Pokémon games]]. Despite Gym Leaders themselves being introduced in [[Generation I]], the name did not appear onscreen until [[Generation II]], and has been incorporated into every game since. Gym Leaders are integral within the Pokémon universe. In order for one to advance in the game, the player must occasionally challenge and defeat the leader of a [[Gym]]. Each game is designed in such a way that the player will not be able to move forward until they receive a [[Badge|Gym Badge]] which will, in turn, either allow them to use a [[HM]] to overcome natural obstacles, or trigger a necessary event to continue with the game. It is one of the player's main objectives to collect eight Gym Badges, allowing him or her to challenge the [[Elite Four]].

Leaders do not seem to be required to be in their Gyms at all times. [[Giovanni]], for example, could keep his title as a Gym Leader despite not being at the [[Viridian Gym]] during the majority of the events of [[Generation I]], and his successor, {{ga|Blue}}, was also absent from the Gym several times. Beginning in [[Generation IV]], Leaders are increasingly encountered outside of their Gyms, evident in the remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where the Leaders have to be found in different locations at specific times before they can [[Pokégear#Gym Leader phone listing|exchange phone numbers]] with the player for a [[Fighting Dojo#Gym Leader Rematch Schedule|rematch at the Fighting Dojo]]. Some Leaders even appear across regions, such as [[Jasmine]] appearing in [[Sunyshore City]], [[Crasher Wake]] on {{rt|47|Johto}}, and [[Maylene]] in [[Celadon City]]. Leaders can even challenge other Gyms and the [[Elite Four]] (like [[Volkner]] wanted to do). In later games, it is made apparent that Gym Leaders know each other and are acquainted with Gym Leaders from other regions, as well as with members of the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}s. Examples of this are Jasmine being friends with [[Erika]], Volkner being friends with {{EF|Flint}}, [[Brawly]] training with [[Bruno]], and most [[Unova]] Gym Leaders coming together to fight [[Team Plasma]]'s [[Seven Sages]].

In addition, some Gym Leaders may be required to use Pokemon different then their usual team, such as [[Cheren]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

===Gym Trainers===
In addition to Gym Leaders, there are also Gym Trainers. While not an official [[Trainer class]], they are Trainers that are either a devotee or apprentice to the Gym Leader, who follow the same type theme as the Leader does. It is usually necessary to defeat multiple Gym Trainers before challenging the Gym Leader. Some Gyms in the game require the player to solve a puzzle, and one must often use Gym Trainers as obstacles to reach the solution. They have no direct impact on the overall plot, other than rarely offering the player helpful advice. It is also worth noting that the type of {{pkmn|Trainer}} appearing in a Gym will depend on the Gym itself. For instance, [[Gardenia]] employs {{tc|Aroma Lady|Aroma Ladies}} and {{tc|Beauty|Beauties}}, exclusively, while [[Misty]] recruits {{tc|Sailor}}s and {{tc|Swimmer}}s; these Gym Leaders represent the [[type]]s {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Water}}, respectively.

==In the anime==
{{incomplete|section}}
Since there seem to be many more [[Gym]]s in the anime than in other media, as evidenced by many Badges that do not belong to Gyms shown in other media, it follows that there would be many more Gym Leaders.

In the anime, Gym Leaders seem to be forbidden from [[Recall|switching]] their Pokémon. Those that Ash encountered before [[Blaine]] did switch; however, since {{Ash}}'s match against Blaine in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', only [[Lenora]] has switched out a Pokémon. In the games, they may switch their Pokémon as often as any other Trainer, itself a considerably rare event.

A notable occurrence in the anime is that one does not necessarily have to defeat the Gym Leader to obtain a Badge. Badges are given out on a case by case basis based on whether the Gym Leader feels that the Trainer has earned it. Examples include Ash winning his early Gym Badges, not by defeating the Gym Leader, but with other selfless acts such as rescuing Erika's Pokémon from a burning Gym.

There is also an entire league exclusive to the anime where the Gym Leaders all have special requirements in order to gain their Gym Badges, the [[Orange League]], located on the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]].

==In the manga==
{{incomplete|section|Needs other manga}}
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Gym Leaders have the same jobs as in the games and anime, but are also shown to throw away their role as Leader and pursue other goals. Some Gym Leaders even become evil, such as [[Koga]], [[Lt. Surge]], [[Sabrina]], and [[Pryce]]. In order to become a Gym Leader in ''Adventures'', one needs to fight a Trainer chosen by the [[Pokémon Association]] and win in front of them without letting one of their own Pokémon faint. The one exception to this rule seen so far has been by {{adv|Blue}} when he defended the building where {{adv|Red}} took his exam, since Red had to decline becoming a Gym Leader due to an injury, despite having passed the exam. Some Gym Leaders have jobs outside of their Gyms, but some of them focus solely on training their skills.

Gym Leaders are highly respected in their respective home regions and usually in other regions as well. When crises emerge, it is highly probable for Gym Leaders to gather to discuss about the situation that has befallen the region and what to do with it, with the most well-known example being the Hoenn Gym Leaders gathering at [[Fortree City]] during the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} to decide which team—[[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]]—they should support. They also tend to help [[Pokédex holder]]s to fight the villains who are usually behind different crises, a great example being the Sinnoh Gym Leaders fighting [[Team Galactic]] at [[Spear Pillar]] near the end of the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}.
All of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] Gym Leaders were called up for a tournament held at [[Indigo Plateau]] (which was interrupted by the [[Masked Man]]) to fight as teams to see which region had stronger Gym Leaders. The Kanto team won with four wins, three losses and one draw.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]], {{GnB|Gold}} meets many Gym Leaders in his travels, as it is his goal to collect all eight Gym Badges. The first Gym Leader challenged by Gold was [[Falkner]], who he defeated in ''[[GB02|Falkner The Bird Keeper's Challenge!!]]''. He defeats [[Bugsy]] in ''[[GB06|Get up Again, Bayleef]]''. He meets [[Whitney]] in ''[[GB08|For Pikachu's Sake!! The Search For The Missing Farfetch'd]]'' and loses to her in battle, so she takes away his {{p|Pikachu}} temporarily. Whitney travels with Gold for a while, arriving at the [[Pokémon Summit]], a conference for Gym Leaders and Pokémon researchers, in ''[[GB11|Gold and Black VS Team Rocket]]''. Gold finally defeats Whitney in ''[[GB13|A Promise Given to Miltank]]'', earning his Pikachu back as well as the {{Badge|Plain}}.

In ''[[GB14|Let's Fight! The Mini Pokémon Tournament]]'', [[Morty]] offers Gold the {{Badge|Fog}} for free, as he is unable to battle him at the time due to other commitments and he believes that Gold has already demonstrated his fighting skills by defending the Pokémon Summit against [[Team Rocket]]. However, Gold refuses, insisting that he must battle Morty another time and earn the Badge properly. He meets [[Jasmine]] in ''[[GB17|A Spectacular Battle To Save Ampharos]]'' and [[Chuck]] in ''[[GB21|The Secret Of The Fighting Type Pokémon]]''. As the manga ended abruptly, [[Pryce]] and [[Clair]] never appeared, nor did the [[Pokémon League]].

==Trivia==
* Every Gym Leader that specializes in {{t|Ghost}}- and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon uses {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Steelix}} respectively in battle.
* Even though there are 51 known Gyms in the games, with 58 Gym Leaders among them, there has not yet been a Gym specializing in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon, although there have been three [[Elite Four]] members; [[Karen]], [[Sidney]], and [[Grimsley]]. All the other seventeen types have at least one Gym associated with them. {{type|Electric}} specialist Gyms appear in five of the six regions.
* The only Gym Leaders so far whose parents have been seen in the anime are [[Brock]], [[Sabrina]], [[Tate and Liza]], [[Roark]] and [[Clemont]].
** Among those, Roark is the only one whose mother has not been seen in the anime.
** Janine, Roark, Maylene, Cheren and Roxie are the only ones who have a parent the {{player}} can encounter in the games. Koga, Giovanni, [[Norman]], and Byron are the only Gym Leaders whose children can be encountered, or in Norman's case, played as, in the games.
** Other in-game relatives of Gym Leaders include Clair's [[Lance|cousin]], Blue's [[Professor Oak|grandfather]] and [[Daisy Oak|sister]], [[Viola]]'s [[Alexa|sister]], [[Korrina]]'s [[Gurkinn|grandfather]] and [[Clemont]]'s [[Bonnie|sister]]. Additionally, Tate and Liza are brother and sister, while Cilan, Chili, and Cress are brothers.
* For ''[[DP009|Setting the World on Its Buneary]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Gym Leaders. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: ジムリーダー　いのちをかけて　かかってこい ''Jimu Rīdā / Inochi o kakete / Kakatte koi'' "Gym Leader, put your life on the line and challenge me".
* In the Johto saga of the anime, none of the Gym Leaders had exactly the same lineups as they do in the games.
* In the games, every Gym Leader has at least one Pokémon in his or her party that knows the [[TM]] move he or she gives out upon defeat. Former Gym Leaders do not count in this, as Wallace when he is faced as Champion and Giovanni when he is faced in Generation IV do not have Pokémon that know the move they gave out as TMs when they were faced as Gym Leaders in previous games. Koga, despite not being a Gym Leader in Generation IV, has several Pokémon that know Toxic, the move he last gave out as a TM.
* From Generations I-V (not counting remakes), every move that was in a TM given out by a Gym Leader was a new move for that generation, and many of them were rarely (if ever) seen on any other Pokemon in the generation they were introduced. This trend has been broken in Generation VI, where only three Gym Leaders—Viola, Korrina, and Valerie—hand out TMs with moves new to the generation.
* In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the player can continue the game without defeating [[Winona]] of [[Fortree City]] until attempting to battle the Elite Four.
* The Hoenn Gym Leaders are the only Gym Leaders not to have VS sprites, since these sprites were not introduced until [[Generation IV]] and the Pokémon World Tournament does not use VS sprites.
* The Orange League is the only one so far in which Ash has successfully defeated all the Gym Leaders without a rematch.

Fairy (type)

2014-03-16T10:16:05Z

{{redirect|Fairy|the Egg Group|Fairy (Egg Group)}}
{{types}}
The '''Fairy type''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|フェアリータイプ|Fearī Taipu}}''' ''Fairy type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers who specialize in Fairy-type Pokémon include [[Valerie]] of [[Laverre City]].

The Fairy type was introduced in [[Generation VI]]. As well as introducing new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the Fairy type, 22 Pokémon were changed to Fairy types.

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
The Fairy type is arguably one of the best defensive types in the game, along with {{t|Steel}}. It has a resistance to {{t|Fighting}} types, as well as the {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Bug}} types, which means resistance to {{m|Pursuit}} and {{m|U-turn}}. Most of all, it also has a useful immunity to {{type|Dragon}} moves. Its only weaknesses are to {{t|Poison}} and Steel, both of which are rarely used offensively.

===Offense===
Fairy is very strong on offense as well. It is super-effective against Dragon, Fighting, and Dark, all of which are otherwise great types defensively. Though resisted by {{t|Fire}}, Poison, and Steel, Fire types still struggle defensively, Poison types are statistically weak, and Steel types struggle offensively.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 35 Fairy-type Pokémon, or 4.8% of all Pokémon (counting [[Form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon), making it the second rarest Pokémon type, behind {{t|Ghost}}.

==Trivia==
* As the Fairy type was introduced after [[Physical move|physical]] and [[Special move|special]] became attributes assigned to individual moves rather than types, it is the only type that has never had an associated damage category.
* More Pokémon were changed to Fairy than either of the other types added since [[Generation I]] (the other two being {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Steel}} in [[Generation II]]), with 22. Also, more moves were changed to Fairy, with three (each one originally a {{type|Normal}} move).
** It is also the only one out of the three types to completely change the types of Pokémon from previous generations, changing several previously pure Normal-type Pokémon—like {{p|Snubbull}}—to pure Fairy.
* All types that resist Fairy are weak to {{t|Ground}}; however, some type combinations such as Fire/Flying and Steel/Flying resist both because of the Flying type's immunity to Ground.
** Every type that resists Fairy also resists {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Bug}}.

The '''Rock Tunnel''' (Japanese: '''イワヤマトンネル''' ''Rock Mountain Tunnel'') is a naturally formed underground tunnel. Since it has not been developed, it is pitch black inside. A light of some sort is needed for travelers to find their way, so it is recommended that [[Pokémon Trainer]]s bring along a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that can use {{m|Flash}} outside of battle.

Rock Tunnel is the only alternative route to [[Lavender Town]], as any other route has either been rendered inaccessible by a slumbering {{p|Snorlax}} or the [[Saffron City]] gatekeepers. The cave has two separate floors, both of which are roughly the same size. There are many Trainers within the cave, there for the fun of exploring, training, or are simply lost in the darkness.

{{rt|10|Kanto}} leads from [[Cerulean City]] to Rock Tunnel. At the northern entrance of the cave is a convenient [[Pokémon Center]]. The roof of the [[Kanto Power Plant]] can also be seen from here (excluding Generation III). The southern entrance exits onto the remainder of Route 10, leading to [[Lavender Town]].

In FireRed and LeafGreen, there is a [[Move Tutor]] who will teach the move {{m|Rock Slide}} to a Pokémon.

===In Pokémon Origins===
Rock Tunnel was briefly shown in the beginning of the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]'' when {{OBP|Red|Origins}} exited it on his way to [[Lavender Town]].
{{right clear}}

==Trivia==
* One of the {{tc|Hiker}}s in the tunnel makes a reference to the song ''{{wp|Hit Me with Your Best Shot}}'' by {{wp|Pat Benatar}}, saying "Hit me with your best shot!" prior to battle, and "Fired away!" after being defeated.
* One of the {{tc|Poké Maniac}}s in the tunnel makes a reference to ''{{wp|Mobile Fighter G Gundam}}'', saying "Pokémon Fight! Ready, Go!" prior to battle. Official Gundam Fights in the series began with both participants declaring "Gundam Fight! Ready, Go!"

Psychic (type)

2012-11-21T10:36:09Z

MasterZeroFlash: /* In other languages */

{{types}}
The '''Psychic type''' (Japanese: '''エスパータイプ''' ''Esper type'') is one of the seventeen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Psychic-type Pokémon are [[Sabrina]] of [[Saffron City]], [[Will]] of the [[Johto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Tate and Liza]] of [[Mossdeep City]], [[Lucian]] of the [[Sinnoh]] Elite Four, and [[Caitlin]] of the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Castle}} and the [[Unova]] Elite Four. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Psychic-type moves were special.

==Characteristics==
===Offense===
Psychic-type Pokémon have been fairly popular since [[Generation I]]. Offensively, can also act as a special sweeper due to their typically high {{stat|Speed}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}. Furthermore, Psychic-type Pokémon can often learn moves of other types to deal with a multitude of types, especially their weaknesses to {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Ghost}}, and {{t|Bug}}. However, the greatest disadvantage is that Psychic-type moves are unable to affect Dark-type Pokémon. This immunity can be eliminated by using {{m|Miracle Eye}}.

===Defense===
Their defensive capabilities are generally poor, with low {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|HP}} despite excellent {{stat|Special Defense}}. Possibly compensating for their relatively insubstantial Defense and HP, Psychic-type Pokémon have access to moves such as {{m|Recover}}. Still, they can often only survive special-based hits, but can easily be defeated by one or two high-powered moves from a Pokémon with an average or above-average Attack stat. Psychic-type Pokémon also often fall to a single {{m|Crunch}} or {{m|Night Slash}} due to the high Attack of many Dark-type Pokémon. There are exceptions to this, such as {{p|Bronzong}} or {{p|Metagross}}, who have high defenses and lack a weakness to Dark-type moves.

===Contest properties===
When used in Contests, Psychic-type moves are typically [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but can also be of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Tough Contest|Tough]].

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are {{tt|67|69, including Darmanitan and Meloetta forms}} Psychic-type Pokémon or {{tt|10.32%|10.63%, including Darmanitan and Meloetta forms}} of all Pokémon, making it the fifth most common type.

==Balance issues==
Psychic-type Pokémon were at the center of a balance issue in the [[Generation I]] games.<ref> Sugimori, Ken ''"Psychic Pokémon seemed to dominate in the previous Pokémon game, so we needed to come up with new Pokémon and types to make Gold and Silver more balanced."'' Nintendo Power 134 (July 2000) p. 79 (retrieved August 16, 2010) </ref> The issue arose from the lack of an effective countermeasure against Psychic types caused by the absence of any powerful {{type|Bug}} moves (at the time the only weaknesses of Psychic types). Strengthening the gap was the fact that {{p|Beedrill|the only actual Bug-type Pokémon}} to know {{m|Pin Missile|the only potentially good Bug move}} was also part Poison-type, creating a vulnerability to Psychic moves, and that in the first-generation games, Ghost-type moves were not only ineffective against Psychic Pokémon, the only Ghost Pokémon at the time were part-Poison, also creating a vulnerability.

The issue was rectified in later generations with the addition of {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Dark}} types, an added weakness to {{type|Ghost}} moves, and more powerful Bug- and Ghost-type moves.

==Trivia==
* {{m|Psycho Cut}}, {{m|Zen Headbutt}} and {{m|Heart Stamp}} are the only [[Physical move|physical]] Psychic-type moves.
** As these moves were introduced after [[Generation III]], this makes Psychic the only former special type not to have any of its moves changed into physical moves.
* Psychic is the most common type for [[legendary Pokémon]], with at least two Psychic-type [[legendary Pokémon]] introduced in each generation for a total of 14.
* Psychic is the only type that shares its name with {{m|Psychic|a move}} and {{tc|Psychic|a Trainer Class}}.
* Despite the balance issue during [[Generation I]], it was not until Generation IV that {{p|Croagunk|a Pokémon}} and {{p|Toxicroak|its evolution}} with a double weakness to Psychic-type moves were introduced.
* There has been one Elite Four member or Gym Leader specializing in Psychic-type Pokémon in every generation.
* All of Psychic's weaknesses (Bug, Ghost and Dark) are based on typical fears. This is most likely because fears can manipulate the mind. Hence, the [[Ability]] {{a|Rattled}}.
* A Pokémon cannot have a double resistance to Psychic without being a Psychic type itself.
** However, a Psychic-type Pokémon also cannot have a double resistance to more than one type.
* The Psychic-type could be considered a special counterpart to {{t|Fighting}}-type:
** The Psychic-type highest average stat is {{stat|Special Attack}}, while the Fighting-type is {{stat|Attack}}.
** The Psychic-type is the only former special type to not have any of old moves changed into physical moves, while the Fighting-type is the only former physical type to not have any of old moves changed into special moves.
** {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}}, moves countering physical and special attacks are, respectively, Fighting- and Psychic-type moves.
* Two of the types that are super-effective against Psychic share a weakness with it. Dark types are also weak to Bug, and Ghost types are weak to Dark and Ghost.
** Also, each of these types is immune to a type Psychic resists.
* Generation III introduced the most Psychic-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 20 and Generation IV introduced the least Psychic-type Pokémon, with nine.
* Generation I introduced the most Psychic-type moves of any Generation, with 15 and Generation II introduced the least Psychic-type moves, with two.

Grass (type)

MasterZeroFlash: /* In other languages */

{{types}}
The '''Grass type''' (Japanese: '''くさタイプ''' ''Grass type'') is one of the seventeen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Grass-type Pokémon are [[Erika]] of [[Celadon City]], [[Gardenia]] of [[Eterna City]], and [[Cilan]] of [[Striaton City]]. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Grass-type moves were special.

==Characteristics==
===Offense===
Offensively, Grass-types have problems. The main problem Grass-type moves face is that nearly all of the few Pokémon they are advantageous against are also weak to moves of other types, hence making them seem dwarfed by the effectiveness of moves of other types. Other problems are that too {{t|Bug|many}} {{t|Fire|Pokémon }} {{t|Steel|types}} {{t|Flying|resist}} {{t|Dragon|these}} {{t|Poison|moves}} (including themselves) to rely on them as a main form of dealing damage, and most of them aren't very powerful. Even then, most of the powerful moves have drawbacks, which can cause more trouble. For example, {{m|Leaf Storm}} sharply lowers Special Attack, {{m|Wood Hammer}} causes recoil damage, {{m|Petal Dance}} causes confusion, {{m|SolarBeam}} requires charging up if {{m|Sunny Day|intense sunlight}} is not nearby and {{m|Frenzy Plant}} requires a turn to recharge after being used. The moves that have no drawbacks, like {{m|Power Whip}}, are very rare. Furthermore, the majority of Grass-types have very narrow movesets, often where the only damage-dealing level up moves are Grass-type and {{type|Normal}} moves (as seen in Pokémon such as {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Cherrim}} and {{p|Sunflora}}). Another problem is that double resistances to Grass are extremely common, even more so than double weaknesses, and the Ability {{a|Sap Sipper}}, which several Pokémon have, negates Grass-type attacks, raising Attack whenever hit with one.

Grass-type Pokémon seem to be affected by [[weather conditions]] more than most other Pokémon, due to their closeness with plants and nature. Most power up under {{weather|intense sunlight}}, while a few others work best under other conditions, such as {{p|Ludicolo}} in {{weather|heavy rain}}, {{p|Cacturne}} in {{weather|sandstorm}}s or {{p|Abomasnow}} in {{weather|hailstorm}}s. A majority of Grass types have above-average Attack or Special Attack as well as high Speed, as seen in {{p|Sceptile}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Lilligant}}, which can become mixed, physical, and special sweepers, respectively.

===Defense===
Defensively speaking, Grass types have both good and bad points. Whilst weak to {{type|Ice}} and {{type|Fire}}—two very commonly used types offensively—the other weaknesses of the Grass types are rarely used offensively; furthermore, two of the types that specialise in moves that Grass types are weak to are hindered by their poor offensive stats. Also, most Grass types have a secondary type which eliminates their weaknesses to Poison- and Bug-type moves (which in turn makes {{type|Flying}} moves more of a threat). Further, all of Grass's resistances are quite common.

On the other hand, Grass types' main problem is their weakness to five types—the most weaknesses of all types (tied with {{t|Rock}}). Also, in practice, Grass types' resistances are still of little use. Almost all Water types can use {{m|Ice Beam}}, and most Electric types can learn {{m|Signal Beam}}. With a number of Grass types being part Poison-type as well, Grass types' resistance to Ground-type moves has been hindered. Given all of this, Grass types are difficult to switch into play.

Despite some of its defensive flaws, it is typical for Grass types to learn Leech Seed and Synthesis, among other disabling moves, like {{m|PoisonPowder}}, {{m|Sleep Powder}} and {{m|Stun Spore}}. This enables these Pokémon to provide support to the rest of their team, and can make them difficult to faint. In addition, a particular asset of this type is being the only one immune to Leech Seed.

===Contest Properties===
When used in Contests, Grass-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but can also be any of the other four Contest types.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are {{tt|74|77, including Wormadam, Rotom, and Shaymin's forms}} Grass-type Pokémon or {{tt|11.40%|11.86%, including Wormadam, Rotom, and Shaymin's forms}} of all Pokémon, making it the fourth most common type.

==Trivia==
* The Grass type is tied with the {{t|Rock}} type for the largest number of weaknesses when unpaired, with five: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Poison}}. Coincidentally, Rock is super effective against all of Grass's weaknesses except for Poison.
* All Pokémon that have seven weaknesses are partially of the Grass type.
* There is at least one Pokémon with each type combination that has a double weakness to Grass. For example, {{p|Omanyte}} is {{2t|Water|Rock}}, {{p|Whiscash}} is {{2t|Water|Ground}}, and {{2t|Rock|Ground}} types are the most plentiful.
** This trait is also shared with {{t|Water}}, {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Psychic}}.
* Grass type has been resisted by the most types, having the {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Poison}} types resist it, as well as resisting itself.
* The Grass type has the most Pokémon that evolve by [[evolutionary stone]]s, with a total of 11. It is also the type that can utilize the most stones, having at least one Pokémon that can evolve via the {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}, {{evostone|Sun Stone}}, {{evostone|Water Stone}}, and {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}.
* Grass type is the only type that both resists and is strong against {{t|Water}} type.
* Generation V introduced the most Grass-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 20 and Generation II introduced the fewest Grass-type Pokémon, with 10.
* There are 27 Pokémon with double weakness to Grass, more than any other type.
** Moreover, in all generations Grass was the most common double weakness, with the exception of [[Generation I]] where {{t|Bug}} type had one more Pokémon with a double weakness to it.
** However, Grass is also the most doubly resisted type.
* Generation I introduced the most Grass-type moves of any Generation, with ten and Generation II introduced the fewest Grass-type moves, with three.

==More rumours==
Not mentioned on the rumours page is a theory about missingo's origin and why cubone and marowak seem so similar to kangaskhan. The theory is easy to believe even if it comes from a 4chan post. see [http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs043.snc3/13067_211106843303_637453303_3035423_5482389_n.jpg] for a screencap of the argument. --[[User:Iain7|Iain7]] 23:45, 17 December 2009 (GMT)
:There are quite a few problems with that theory, the first being that its speculation and does not belong on the article. Secondly, I don't think it is that complex or time consuming to delete an evolution. Also, Missingno. is completely unrelated to both Kangaskhan and Cubone. Also, if you look at [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)|the Hex list]], you'll see that Missingno. has multiple index numbers.--[[User:SnorlaxMonster|Snorlax]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|Monster]].

== Can Yellow Missingno. replicate 128 of an item? ==

I read somewhere that Missingno. in Yellow can replicate 128 of an item, but elsewhere that it cannot. Which is true? [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] 17:46, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
:First another question, can Missingno. (in either game) replicate items when encountered using the [[Mew glitch]]? If no, then it cannot. If yes it might be able to. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:40, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
::Never mind, found the answer here: http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,5904.0.html. When encountered through the Mew glitch in any of RBY, it will still duplicate items. However, it will only do so in Yellow if the game doesn't freeze. Apparently it will ''always'' freeze in an emulator since it can't detect the glitchy game code properly, unlike a cartridge which has a small chance of not freezing. [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] 03:38, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

== Name Capitalization ==

Just wondering, why is MissingNo. spelled with a lowercase N in the article? It doesn't make sense. The "No." is obviously meant to be a separate word from "Missing", so it should be capitalized, just like what has been done to many names of moves and items in Generation IV. Now, before you say ''"But it's never been officially spelled like that!"'', it's ''also'' never been officially spelled with ''any'' lowercase letters, just in all capitals, so the current capitalization that you're using can't be considered officially correct, either. "MissingNo." with a capital N is the most logical capitalization, so why not use it? Also, using the current article's capitalization is just encouraging the common mispronunciation ''"Missing-No"'' instead of ''"Missing-Number"'', how it ''should'' be pronounced.
—[[User:Tyeforce|Tyeforce]] 07:36, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
:Based on what you just said, your version of the capitalization is no more correct or incorrect than this one. This one just looks better. And based on the fact that nobody's changed it back in the months since I moved the page to this name indicates that the vast majority of Bulbapedia would agree with me. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 12:14, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
::Perhaps even MISSINGNO. would be a better location. But for now, this location is fine. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:24, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
:::But although the game refers to the 30 odd variations of these glitches as just "MISSINGNO." that doesn't mean we need to change the article names of Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Mewtwo to PIKACHU, BULBASAUR and MEWTWO either. We are a Pokémon encyclopaedia, not a Pokémon mechanics encyclopaedia. I can confirm though that Nintendo does refer to these glitches as "MissingNO" here [http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/gameboy/trouble_specificgame.jsp] --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 12:31, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
::::We don't capitalize the Pokémon names because that's not the right way to spell them. They're in all capitals in the main games, but that's just because that's always how been. I'm sure they would have changed the capitalization format for Pokémon names in Generation IV if it weren't the Generation III compatibility (because that would look extremely weird if all the Pokémon you caught in your DS game had proper capitalization, while any Pokémon you migrated from your GBA games would be in all caps). We've seen Pokémon names spelled with correct capitalization in official places outside of the main games themselves, so it's safe to assume that the correct spelling of Pokémon names isn't in all caps. And you could take Nintendo's quotes as evidence, but they contradict themselves in the spelling. First they call it "MissngNO" with a capital "NO" and no period, and then they call "MissingNo", with the O being lowercase and still no period. Obviously, there's supposed to be a period in its name, so Nintendo's spellings of the name in that particular instance can't be correct. But even if it's not 100% correct, it does provide evidence that "Missing" is separate from "No." and should be capitalized to show that. Think of how some items and moves are spelled in Generation IV that were previously in all caps. SquirtBottle, SolarBeam, DynamicPunch, etc. It's just the most logical way to spell the name. —[[User:Tyeforce|Tyeforce]] 15:59, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::Yes, a lot of things do use the camelcase to separate two words, but then [[Pokéwalker]] and [[Pokédex]] come up (there are other examples, but that's off the top of my head). Anyway, we won't be calling it MissingNO., but the rule here is that allcaps in the games goes to Proper noun. But when we're quoting the game we keep the original case (as seen in the Pokédex entries). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:07, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
::::::Pokéwalker and Pokédex are made up words, though. They're not two separate words fused together, like Missing and Number. "Missingno." just looks plain weird. It just looks better when written as "MissingNo.", and it implies that it's "Missing Number", ''not'' "Missingno". —[[User:Tyeforce|Tyeforce]] 05:19, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::::Pokéwalker is more two words than Pokédex, but you also have [[Pokégear]]. Anyway, allcaps in the games goes to Proper noun unless otherwise specified. And to me, MissingNo. looks much weirder than Missingno., plus saying that a word looks funny is no excuse. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:28, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
(resetting indent) But the "Poké" in those words isn't a ''real'' word. Typically, words that being with "Poké" just flow together as a brand new word, without any capitalization other than the "P", like ''Pokémon'', ''Pokédex'', etc. Either that, or the "Poké" is a separate word and is followed by a space, in the case of ''Poké Ball'', etc. But anyway, yes, I know that we can't change the spelling based on opinion, which is why I gave another reason; spelling it "MissingNo." implies that it's "Missing Number", ''not'' "Missingno", as many people think it is. That, and the fact that Nintendo has spelled it "MissingNO" and "MissingNo", in both cases capitalizing the "No." part. —[[User:Tyeforce|Tyeforce]] 14:24, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
:The Nintendo part does however seem unreliable due to the inconsistencies as well as lack of period after MissingNO and MissingNo. This discussion will not be enough to move a page on such a well known topic, especially a featured article, but since an official source decided to separate the two with camelcase, it should be moved. I suggest you take it to the editorial board to see what they think about it. But I do agree with you that "MISSING" and "NO." are separate and that "NO." clearly stands for number, it may not be appropriate to assume that it should be separated by camelcase. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 00:06, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
::Maybe we could have some sort of community poll? —[[User:Tyeforce|Tyeforce]] 01:23, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
:::Bulbapedia is not a democracy. It's a policy somewhere. Anyway, you can make a poll and have people say why they think so, then the EB will review it and decide from their.

*Nintendo hates Missingno., so their capitalization of it can hardly be called official.

===Move it to [[MissingNo.]]===
[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:46, 8 April 2010 (UTC) - Nintendo has officially referred to it with a capital "n" in every case, despite other inconsistencies, also stands for Missing Number.

I agree with what many others have said: MissingNo. is a reference to "Missing Number." To have it written in the current format of Missingno. suggests that it is a word of its own or a single word, rather than a contraction of the two words, "Missing Number." Also, Nintendo has officially referred to it as MissingNO.

:I agree that "Missingno." should be moved to "MissingNo.". A lot of things about this issue were talked, in addition to those things I'd like to add this: some people would said it should be better to move it to "Missing No." because the name doesn't has separation because of the 10 chars space... But... Nintendo wrote MissingNo and MissingNO without the dot, what gave them the chance to write it with the space between Missing and No, but they choose not to do this, that is clearly a way to show us there's no such space separation. They predicted we would discuss MissingNo. name right now and left a hidden message to us: "there's no separation, look here, even with the space left of the dot we haven't wrote it separated!" ;) AND MORE: one time they wrote it MissingNo and just after it they wrote it MissingNO, which was a mental pulse of the writer, a way to mask us that Nintendo doesn't cares about MissingNo.: by leaving the last character of what they wrote one time uppercase and in the other time lowercase they meant "we don't really care about MissingNo. we just write it like we don't care if the o turned out uppercase or lowercase". The uppercase N doesn't changes in the two writings.

== The article tends to focus too much on one index number of Missingno. in Pokémon Yellow ==

Although variations of glitch Pokémon which use the name "Missingno." do indeed exist in Pokémon Yellow, this does not mean that there is just one [[index number]] of Missingno. in Pokémon Yellow. Different Missingno. in Pokémon Yellow commonly use different sprites, different base stats, different cries and have completely different movesets. Not all "yellow Missingno." are of the 999 type either, I think this article needs rewording to address that problem, its not as if there are 5 distinctive forms of Missingno. there are in fact (39*2) in Red/Blue and Yellow alone, not including different language games. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 12:33, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

== Some possibly helpful questions ==

1. It seems the list of characters in a player's name that can trigger Missingno.'s various forms is not exhaustive. Does anyone know what Pokemon would appear when one of those characters is used in the appropriate spot? It might be useful to have this information in the article, even if it's just a simple "having other characters in these positions will not produce Missingno. but, instead, some other Pokemon to appear".

2. The next one is more of a general programming question regarding this comment: ''Due to the limited space in the Game Boy memory, the programmers decided to use the space where data for wild Pokémon found in the grass is stored (which is completely blank in Viridian City; only Surfing and Fishing data is used) to save the player's name temporarily.'' Are there any other circumstances where a player's name has to be stored into this space? [[User:Starscream|Starscream]] 17:06, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
:1. This page should actually list less of that. That is the [[old man glitch]]. Missingno. is one possible result, so most of this info should be moved there and this to link there as a main article. In addition, Missingno. can be found via the [[Mew glitch]], but this section only explains how it works via the old man glitch. I will fix this after replying.

::2. Regarding surfing on land strips, there is another process which could be exploited legitimately, although it is less practical than entering an Old Man battle. It is possible to make a trade within Cinnibar's Lab (as name data is stored within the RAM and recalled after trading) and then surf along any 'coast'. There are several other processes, but realistically unless messing with the RAM itself (e.g. save corruption, select bugs) they would require an external device, e.g. Professor Oak's battle mode used for catching the starter Pikachu and then surfing along a coast without encountering another Pokémon. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 16:31, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

== Why don't we move it? ==

I mean, MissingNo.'s in-game name really means "Missing Number," it's as if the game's trying to tell you that the Pokémon you're encountering is missing, and it's index number is 0.
All a Pokémon name is is a permanently nicknamed number, for example, [[Mew]]'s index equivalent is 21. The game thinks "21 used (index number of a move)! It's super effective!" but the game translates it to "[[Mew]] used [[Psychic]]! It's super effective!" To recap what I have just said, as you are probably thinking "What is this kid getting at?" what I mean is, MissingNo.'s name is an abbreviated message, not an actual name.

:No, Missingno. is NOT a Pokémon. It's a glitch encountered when a wild Pokémon is encountered in an area where wild Pokémon are not meant to appear. Therefore Missingno. appears because the numerical data (no.) for which Pokémon should appear are missing. Thus the "name" isn't even a name so much as an error message. This argument has been had a number of times on this wiki, and the conclusion has always been that "Glitch Pokémon" are not technically real Pokémon. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 23:29, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

== Can Yellow Missingno. replicate 128 of an item? ==

I read somewhere that Missingno. in Yellow can replicate 128 of an item, but elsewhere that it cannot. Which is true? [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] 17:46, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
:First another question, can Missingno. (in either game) replicate items when encountered using the [[Mew glitch]]? If no, then it cannot. If yes it might be able to. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:40, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
::Never mind, found the answer here: http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,5904.0.html. When encountered through the Mew glitch in any of RBY, it will still duplicate items. However, it will only do so in Yellow if the game doesn't freeze. Apparently it will ''always'' freeze in an emulator since it can't detect the glitchy game code properly, unlike a cartridge which has a small chance of not freezing. [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] 03:38, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

== Name Capitalization ==

Just wondering, why is MissingNo. spelled with a lowercase N in the article? It doesn't make sense. The "No." is obviously meant to be a separate word from "Missing", so it should be capitalized, just like what has been done to many names of moves and items in Generation IV. Now, before you say ''"But it's never been officially spelled like that!"'', it's ''also'' never been officially spelled with ''any'' lowercase letters, just in all capitals, so the current capitalization that you're using can't be considered officially correct, either. "MissingNo." with a capital N is the most logical capitalization, so why not use it? Also, using the current article's capitalization is just encouraging the common mispronunciation ''"Missing-No"'' instead of ''"Missing-Number"'', how it ''should'' be pronounced.
—[[User:Tyeforce|Tyeforce]] 07:36, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
:Based on what you just said, your version of the capitalization is no more correct or incorrect than this one. This one just looks better. And based on the fact that nobody's changed it back in the months since I moved the page to this name indicates that the vast majority of Bulbapedia would agree with me. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno.

:::But although the game refers to the 30 odd variations of these glitches as just "MISSINGNO." that doesn't mean we need to change the article names of Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Mewtwo to PIKACHU, BULBASAUR and MEWTWO either.

::::We don't capitalize the Pokémon names because that's not the right way to spell them. They're in all capitals in the main games, but that's just because that's always how been. I'm sure they would have changed the capitalization format for Pokémon names in Generation IV if it weren't the Generation III compatibility (because that would look extremely weird if all the Pokémon you caught in your DS game had proper capitalization, while any Pokémon you migrated from your GBA games would be in all caps). We've seen Pokémon names spelled with correct capitalization in official places outside of the main games themselves, so it's safe to assume that the correct spelling of Pokémon names isn't in all caps. And you could take Nintendo's quotes as evidence, but they contradict themselves in the spelling. First they call it "MissngNO" with a capital "NO" and no period, and then they call "MissingNo", with the O being lowercase and still no period. Obviously, there's supposed to be a period in its name, so Nintendo's spellings of the name in that particular instance can't be correct. But even if it's not 100% correct, it does provide evidence that "Missing" is separate from "No." and should be capitalized to show that. Think of how some items and moves are spelled in Generation IV that were previously in all caps. SquirtBottle, SolarBeam, DynamicPunch, etc. It's just the most logical way to spell the name. —[[User:Tyeforce|Tyeforce]] 15:59, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::Yes, a lot of things do use the camelcase to separate two words, but then [[Pokéwalker]] and [[Pokédex]] come up (there are other examples, but that's off the top of my head).

::::::Pokéwalker and Pokédex are made up words, though. They're not two separate words fused together, like Missing and Number. "Missingno." just looks plain weird.

(resetting indent) But the "Poké" in those words isn't a ''real'' word. Typically, words that being with "Poké" just flow together as a brand new word, without any capitalization other than the "P", like ''Pokémon'', ''Pokédex'', etc. Either that, or the "Poké" is a separate word and is followed by a space, in the case of ''Poké Ball'', etc. But anyway, yes, I know that we can't change the spelling based on opinion, which is why I gave another reason; spelling it "MissingNo." implies that it's "Missing Number", ''not'' "Missingno", as many people think it is. That, and the fact that Nintendo has spelled it "MissingNO" and "MissingNo", in both cases capitalizing the "No." part. —[[User:Tyeforce|Tyeforce]] 14:24, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
:The Nintendo part does however seem unreliable due to the inconsistencies as well as lack of period after MissingNO and MissingNo. This discussion will not be enough to move a page on such a well known topic, especially a featured article, but since an official source decided to separate the two with camelcase, it should be moved. I suggest you take it to the editorial board to see what they think about it. But I do agree with you that "MISSING" and "NO." are separate and that "NO." clearly stands for number, it may not be appropriate to assume that it should be separated by camelcase. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 00:06, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:46, 8 April 2010 (UTC) - Nintendo has officially referred to it with a capital "n" in every case, despite other inconsistencies, also stands for Missing Number.

I agree with what many others have said: MissingNo. is a reference to "Missing Number." To have it written in the current format of Missingno. suggests that it is a word of its own or a single word, rather than a contraction of the two words, "Missing Number." Also, Nintendo has officially referred to it as MissingNO. Besides, it's a matter of basic English more than anything else; considering the fact that Nintendo doesn't really consider this an official Pokemon, we can't really go to them for the way it should be written, nor can we competently search for sources on the matter.--[[User:Aureol|Aureol]] 07:42, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

But... Nintendo wrote MissingNo and MissingNO without the dot, what gave them the chance to write it with the space between Missing and No, but they choose not to do this, that is clearly a way to show us there's no such space separation. They predicted we would discuss MissingNo. name right now and left a hidden message to us: "there's no separation, look here, even with the space left of the dot we haven't wrote it separated!" ;) AND MORE: one time they wrote it MissingNo and just after it they wrote it MissingNO, which was a mental pulse of the writer, a way to mask us that Nintendo doesn't cares about MissingNo.: by leaving the last character of what they wrote one time uppercase and in the other time lowercase they meant "we don't really care about MissingNo. we just write it like we don't care if the o turned out uppercase or lowercase".

::::::::Well, as it turns out, your "official source" is unreliable, so why should we trust it? First paragraph spells it "MissingNO", second paragraph spells it "MissingNo".

And as if that weren't enough, this same so-called "reliable" source also says that restarting the game is the only way to fix the scrambled graphics Missingno. causes sometimes.

:::::::::While it is true that it inconsistent, does not use a period and is not very reliable, it is much more reliable that assuming. The "O" changes, but there is always a capital "N". Unless we find a reliable source that uses something other than a capital "N" in "NO.", then the article should stay at the more accurate, logical and official location. Nintendo most likely didn't bother doing a large amount of research into solving the glitch (due to the age of the game), and simply told people to do the obvious approach. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:03, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

== The article tends to focus too much on one index number of Missingno. in Pokémon Yellow ==

Although variations of glitch Pokémon which use the name "Missingno." do indeed exist in Pokémon Yellow, this does not mean that there is just one [[index number]] of Missingno. in Pokémon Yellow. Different Missingno. in Pokémon Yellow commonly use different sprites, different base stats, different cries and have completely different movesets. Not all "yellow Missingno." are of the 999 type either, I think this article needs rewording to address that problem, its not as if there are 5 distinctive forms of Missingno. there are in fact (39*2) in Red/Blue and Yellow alone, not including different language games. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 12:33, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
:You raise a valid point. However, new comments go at the bottom of talk pages. That said, you are right. We do need information on the other Yellow Missingno. formes... - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno.

i dont know how to make a new section but when used a gameshark code to make it appear in the wild i caught it then it turned into a rhydon why??[[User:ArceusLX|arceusLX leveled up!]] 01:23, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
:Its the internal error trap (as Rhydon has an index number of 01) for when the game brings up a new Pokédex entry for an invalid Pokémon. Try capturing it again, so that the "New Pokédex entry" interface doesn't pop up again. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 14:24, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

== Some possibly helpful questions ==

1. It seems the list of characters in a player's name that can trigger Missingno.'s various forms is not exhaustive. Does anyone know what Pokemon would appear when one of those characters is used in the appropriate spot? It might be useful to have this information in the article, even if it's just a simple "having other characters in these positions will not produce Missingno. but, instead, some other Pokemon to appear".

2. The next one is more of a general programming question regarding this comment: ''Due to the limited space in the Game Boy memory, the programmers decided to use the space where data for wild Pokémon found in the grass is stored (which is completely blank in Viridian City; only Surfing and Fishing data is used) to save the player's name temporarily.'' Are there any other circumstances where a player's name has to be stored into this space? [[User:Starscream|Starscream]] 17:06, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
:1. This page should actually list less of that. That is the [[old man glitch]]. Missingno. is one possible result, so most of this info should be moved there and this to link there as a main article. In addition, Missingno. can be found via the [[Mew glitch]], but this section only explains how it works via the old man glitch. I will fix this after replying.
:2. No, not in Generation I. If there was, that would have been exploited a long time ago. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:52, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
::2. Regarding surfing on land strips, there is another process which could be exploited legitimately, although it is less practical than entering an Old Man battle. It is possible to make a trade within Cinnibar's Lab (as name data is stored within the RAM and recalled after trading) and then surf along any 'coast'. There are several other processes, but realistically unless messing with the RAM itself (e.g. save corruption, select bugs) they would require an external device, e.g. Professor Oak's battle mode used for catching the starter Pikachu and then surfing along a coast without encountering another Pokémon. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 16:31, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

== Missingno.'s exp. group? ==

For such a well-known glitch, I'd think that there would be some sort of investigation on this. Is there such a levelling formula? [[User:Ztobor|Ztobor]] 03:35, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
:It's not a topic of focus when discussion glitches, but from screenshots that I've seen, it appears to be the formula that yields 1000000 at level 100 (like with most Pokémon). [[User:Ultraflame|Ultraflame]] 04:00, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

== Why don't we move it? ==

I mean, MissingNo.'s in-game name really means "Missing Number," it's as if the game's trying to tell you that the Pokémon you're encountering is missing, and it's index number is 0.
All a Pokémon name is is a permanently nicknamed number, for example, [[Mew]]'s index equivalent is 21. The game thinks "21 used (index number of a move)! It's super effective!" but the game translates it to "[[Mew]] used [[Psychic]]! It's super effective!" To recap what I have just said, as you are probably thinking "What is this kid getting at?" what I mean is, MissingNo.'s name is an abbreviated message, not an actual name.
Cheers!

[[User:Alex128|Alex128]] 01:36, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
:Missingno. is not index number 000, that is [['M]]. Missingno. has a Pokédex number of 000 ('M does too), but has a large number of different index numbers (see the infobox). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:42, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
@SnorlaxMonster: Enlighten me. Why does MissingNo. revert to Rhydon when certain forms are caught? If Rhydon's index number is 001, MissingNo. has to revert to the next valid index number, 001. That means MissingNo. has to be 000. It's Pokédex number is also 000. 'M could possibly share index 000 with MissingNo. [[User:Alex128|Alex128]] 00:27, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
::Its only if a glitch Pokémon displays its Pokédex entry upon capture and has an invalid Pokédex number that it reverts to {{p|Rhydon}} (see new [[Rhydon glitch]] article). This is not specific to Yellow Missingno. as many glitch Pokémon have high Pokédex numbers and revert back to Rhydon after their Pokédex entry is registered. Its not possible to have more than one Pokémon with the same index number in the same game. You can have multiple glitch Pokémon with the same Pokédex number or 'family', but not index number. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 02:44, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
::::(conflicted)It is impossible for two Pokémon to be at the same index number in the same game (Pokédex numbers are different). All non-[[hybrid glitch Pokémon]] revert to Rhydon when their Pokédex entry is viewed after being caught, because it has the first valid index number. [[p T]] would also revert to Rhydon, despite clearly not being 00 in any aspect. It's called the [[Rhydon glitch]]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:49, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Okay, I'll admit I'm wrong. I had forgotten that MissingNo. takes up multiple index numbers, and one of them was Index 000. I apologize for my mistake, but let it be known that I support its movement. Go MissingNo.! [[User:Alex128|Alex128]] 17:48, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

== GBA Missingno ==

I've seen videos on youtube demonstrating how to catch missingno in the GBA Pokemon games.
 
 
Here's one of them just to clarify.
http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZTvJWlpfV3s
 [[User:Pgj1997|Pgj1997]]
:We know about them but refer to them here as [[glitch Pokémon]] rather than Missingno. here please. The name "Missingno." is the error handler used for placeholder/formatted species and only 39 instances used this in the GB/C games (with the other 107 being generic invalid Pokémon). [[? (glitch Pokémon)|?]] is the closest approximation to its function (25 empty spaces), though we still call it ? because that's what the game calls it. [[??????????]] and others are essentially invalid Pokémon (like the past 107 generic glitch Pokémon) but improved error handling techniques dummy out their names. Thanks. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 16:56, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

== Trivia And More! ==

For the trivia, couldn't it be stated that Missing No. is the first pokemon to have alternate forms?

Also, should Missing No.'s alternate forms be added to the Form Change page? [[User:Super Glitch-Missing No.|Super Glitch-Missing No.]] 22:42, 15 April 2011 (UTC)Super Glitch-Missing No.
:Possibly, but as long as it is only mentioned on this page
:Absolutely not. The [[form differences]] page is only for true Pokémon. Missingno. would get no more than a trivia mention there. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:44, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

So I can add the Forme Differences onto Missing No.'s trivia, but not on the page? And technically, Missing No. is a real pokemon, but not obtained by normal means with some side effects. It is still a pokemon.--[[User:Super Glitch-Missing No.]]
:No, Missingno. is NOT a Pokémon. It's a glitch encountered when a wild Pokémon is encountered in an area where wild Pokémon are not meant to appear. Therefore Missingno. appears because the numerical data (no.) for which Pokémon should appear are missing. Thus the "name" isn't even a name so much as an error message. This argument has been had a number of times on this wiki, and the conclusion has always been that "Glitch Pokémon" are not technically real Pokémon. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 23:29, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

A '''Pokémon Trainer''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon Trainer'') is a person who {{pkmn2|caught|catches}}, {{pkmn|training|trains}}, cares for and {{pkmn|battle}}s with Pokémon. The majority of people within the known [[Pokémon world]] are Trainers.

==Background==
Many Trainers leave home at about the age of ten, sometimes accompanied with a [[starter Pokémon]] obtained from a [[Pokémon professor]], such as {{prof|Oak}}. Many will travel around one or more [[region]]s, doing such things as gathering information for a [[Pokédex]], perfecting their technique, collecting [[badge]]s, and working to become a [[Pokémon master]]. No matter what their specialties or aims, there is one code that they all follow - when two Trainers make eye contact, they must have a battle.

A Trainer's class may reflect their Pokémon of choice, the areas they prefer, their technique, and their level of skill; however, even among their classes, Trainers may vary greatly.
[[File:Beginning Trainer kit.png|thumb|240px|right|A Pokédex and set of Poké Balls for a Trainer in the anime]]
Many towns have a [[Gym]] run by a strong and experienced Trainer known as a [[Gym Leader]]. Other Trainers may challenge a Gym Leader, and if the Gym Leader is defeated in battle, he or she awards them a Pokémon League [[badge]]. However, in the Pokémon anime, the Gym Leader may award the Trainer a badge for other reasons, since the badge is a symbol of the Trainer's skill. For example, [[Ash Ketchum]] won several of his early badges by refusing to take an unfair advantage or going out of his way to save a gym, which proved himself as an exceptional Trainer outside of battle.

Above the level of Gym Leaders are the [[Elite Four]] Trainers and [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. There are also a special class of Trainers known as the [[Frontier Brain]]s, but they are unique to {{game|Emerald}}, {{game|Platinum}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and part of a privately owned institution known as the [[Battle Frontier]], and so may not be recognized by the League. These Trainers are considered the cream of the crop, and can only be challenged if a Trainer has met requirements such as winning eight badges. Should a Trainer defeat other Trainers at this level, it is not uncommon for him or her to be offered a place in these high ranks.

However, just as there are many Trainers with noble goals and lawful methods, there are also corrupt Trainers, including a number of [[villainous team]]s. These Trainers often use powerful Pokémon to take what they want and further their plans.

==Super Smash Bros. Brawl==
{{main|Red (game)#In the Super Smash Bros. series|Red (game)}}
There is a {{player|playable character}} called "Pokémon Trainer" in the game [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. His appearance is based on {{ga|Red}}'s [[Generation III]] design, and he uses {{p|Squirtle|me}}{{p|Ivysaur|mb}}{{p|Charizard|ers}} of the [[evolution]] families of the [[Kanto]] {{pkmn2|starter}}s to battle against the others.

==As a Trainer class==
In the games, Pokémon Trainer (rendered as "{{PK}}{{MN}} Trainer") is used as the Trainer class for certain storyline characters. These opponents tend to be the most powerful non-arena trainers the player will face, notably including the [[rival]]s of all generations; [[Red (game)|Red]] from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, {{v2|Crystal}}, and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}; and [[Steven]] from {{game|Emerald}}. In link battles, all players have this Trainer class.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the Pokémon Trainer. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: さあ10さい　ぼくもわたしも　トレーナー ''Sā jussai, boku mo watashi mo torēnā.'' "Ah, the age 10; we will all be Trainers."
* Even though it is stated in the anime that a person may not become a Trainer until the age of 10, there are many Trainers in other media that are obviously below the minimum age, such as the {{tc|Twins|Twins Trainer class}}, {{tc|Tuber|Tuber Trainer class}}, and {{tc|Kindergartner|Kindergartner Trainer class}}.
* In Generation I, opposing Trainers' AI would always choose a move whose type is [[super effective]] against the player's Pokémon, even if the move itself does no damage (using Mist, for example, on a Dragon-type Pokémon), until that move's PP ran out.
