==Need to ask a favor==
Since you did a good job on the Unknown page with the new material I've added I've decided that you should look at Serebii's details on the Pokéthlon stats and do the pages in necessary on Pokémon that have multiple forms, like Wurmadam and Deoxys because you could probably do a quicker and better job than I could. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 02:05, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
:Yeah, sure. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 03:00, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

::::Oh, I didn't realise they were stuck to specific days. In any case I'm not a fan of hiding too much information.

:Yep, you did right. Technically it's meant to stay there until there are a few people using it, but this one is for an official game (as opposed to User has brown pants etc. etc.) so I decided to fast forward it.

== Are Certain Comments on Race Relevant? ==

Realizing that Pokémon is a franchise for entertainment, I would avoid the question of race on Bulbapedia. However, before a philosophical discussion on what exactly constitutes 'race' and related social constructs ensues, I am curious as to whether a comment on a certain character's race is relevant. After all, this might just be me, but the Pokémon franchise appears to feature ethnically East Asian (Japanese) and Caucasian characters for the most part with few or no representatives of other ‘races’ (or rather, ethnic groups, a different concept in itself). More specially, can I add the following comment on [[Rosie]] from Pokémon Battle Revolution onto her Bulbapedia reference page? Is it relevant? [Ha, ''relevant trivia'' – is that an oxymoron?]

===Trivia===
* Notably, Rosie (in her American rendition) is one of few characters in the Pokémon franchise to be explicitly racially black.

[I admit that the use of consecutive adverbs here is awkward.]

[[User:AceTrainerAlvaro|AceTrainerAlvaro]] 03:29, 13 October 2009 (UTC) AceTrainerAlvaro

==Race (cont.)==

Of course, adding this comment might necessitate similar comments on characters such as [[Sashay]] (in her American version). Help '''trom''' – I might be opening a can of worms here!

Sorry – I have yet to form a signature on Bulbapedia so I’ll sign however I can. Of course, you know how to contact me.

[[User:AceTrainerAlvaro|AceTrainerAlvaro]] 03:29, 13 October 2009 (UTC) AceTrainerAlvaro

==My Apologies==

'''trom''', it is my first time on a talk page and I already messed up. See, I deleted an earlier version of my first post on this talk page which I accidentally forgot to sign and published before editing, but apparently changing even undesired talk posts is illegal on Bulbapedia (aka ‘Edit conflict’). Sorry for any inconvenience.

::If you're bored, go look at lolcats. They always cheer me up. And yes, you are harassing our staff members. You're refusing to follow Bulbapedia policy and using nasty cusswords. Calling names isn't going to help your situation. Face it, your opinion doesn't count for anything. Encyclopedias are built on fact. Now go lol at those cats and leave us all alone. If you continue to harp on here I will have to put you out of your misery. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 08:49, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

[[User:OwnageMuch|OwnageMuch]] 07:47, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
:Apology acepted. If you can give it a break for now that would be appreciated. If you edit more in the mainspace, we will be more lenient on your userspace editing, btw. You've currently edited a grand total of zero encyclopedia articles... how about we changed that ;) —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:48, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm sure I'll be able to add lots of Trivia, but when will editing the Pokémon pages be allowed again? [[User:OwnageMuch|OwnageMuch]] 08:07, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
:At this stage, this time next month. That's when they will automatically unprotect themselves. As you may have seen on the Messages from the Editor we are having some... technical hitches... at the moment. Rest assured, we will have them active again as soon as we possibly can. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 08:09, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

== There is also a giant Drapion ==

Can you add J's Drapion to the list of the giants? In DP072 I saw that it's Giant. If you'll compare it to Aaron's, it defenitely giant.
And a question- the two Wiscash that in giant pokemon are really giant? I think they are a normal Wiscash. 2'11". [[User:Moti19909|Moti19909]] 09:55, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
:If someone else could confirm this for me. I don't watch the anime and [[Saturn's Toxicroak|some things are highly debatable]]. Same goes for Whishcash. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 09:56, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
::Whiscash is already in there, and about Drapion, I'm not sure, it seems nprmal to me.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Ho-Oh (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Lugia (Pokémon)|ire]] 09:57, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Of course that J's Drapion is giant. Look at it: [[http://www.pokemony.com/obrazki/galeria/odcinki/540/540_87.jpg]]

And look at Aaron's Drapion: [[http://www.pokemony.com/obrazki/galeria/odcinki/567/567_361.jpg]]
So I suggest you to add it to the list.

And you did not answer me: why those two Wiscash are considered as a giant??? [[User:Moti19909|Moti19909]] 12:40, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
:I told you, I don't watch the anime at all. If any of the RC-stalkers want to chime in here they can be my guest. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 18:56, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

::J's Drapion ''is'' quite large, about twice the hight that most Drapion are, but only in that scene. It's not that size in any of [http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/shinou/513ps8.shtml these]
::For the Whiscash, it should be painfully obvious why [[Nero]] is considered giant. Just read the page. And for Juan's Whiscash, it isn't directly stated, but if you look at the top right picture [http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/houen/388ps5.shtml here], Whiscash is much larger than Ash's Swellow. Swellow are 2'4", Whiscash are 2'11", but look at the size difference. There wouldn't be that much a difference when there should only be a 7 inch difference. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 21:27, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

== Userspace Privilages ==

When will I get my Userspace privilages back? I've made several contributions to the mainspace since then. I'm sorry for editing my user space too much, I didnt realize that I was and was trying to make a 'Future SoulSilver Team' chart but it totally messed up my page. I fixed it then lost my privilages. [[User:LugiaRocks|LugiaRocks]] 01:39, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
:You have made a lot of mainspace edits. A sincere congratulations to you. However, the standard time of service is one month, which may be lessened to two weeks in extreme cases.

==Caterpie and Weedle==
While they are listed as version exclusives on their own pages as well as their cocoon forms, but I noticed this does not include the Bug Catching Contest as a location and the fact they both appear there.

== Regarding Pokemon Pages ==

I know they are blocked for that App issue but here is something I want fixed in the Mesprit, Azelf, and Uxie Pages. In their Anime Appearances, it is included that a statue of them appeared in some episode. But I did this on DP147, with the Dialga & Palkia statues appearing in them. Kenji & Adyniz said that statues aren't Pokemon. So could you remove that from their Anime Appearances. Thanks [[User:BAC510]] 07:23, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
:Statues are of note. We list flashbacks and fantasies. I see no reason why they should not be included on DP147. As such, I have added it back in. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:29, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
::Flashbacks and fantasies have actual Pokémon in them. Statues are objects can't move and have no life to them. How come ''The Wacky Watcher'' doesn't have Rhyhorn in listed in the Pokémon section when it was a drawing of one in Tracey's sketchbook? Why doesn't ''The Crystal Onix'' have all the Pokémon that Mateo made glass sculptures off in the Pokémon section?

::And what of the case of Misty's lure? That's would be in the same category as statues but it doesn't have Misty under the human section.

::It should stay consistent. If one thing isn't mentioned then they other shouldn't either. If they are to stay then someone should look at all the episodes and put all the inanimate objects as characters.

:::I would actually count statues as something different entirely, particularly since the statues in question are of importance to the overall plot. They are of much more significance than a lure or a sketch. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 08:26, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

:::::Sure. Take it out of the DP page then, but I still think it should remain in the Dialga/Palkia pages. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 08:51, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

== Cut Glitch and Glitches Template ==

Just thought I'd ask you a question about the article you say you like! ;) -- Now that the page is no longer a stub, should I add it to the Glitches template and place that template at the bottom of the [[Cut Glitch]] page or is it not notable enough to be included in the template?

::Ok, there was one thing (there's always one thing!).

:::Okay... I left it on by default as most glitch Pokémon are in Gen I (and thus have often an equivalent), but that's okay too.

:::I fixed the Ten question marks page to show up correctly with the new template, but I sadly have to go offline now. There is a lot to fix; the thumb rule is that a generation tag should be added, the gender stuff should be changed to gendercode tag (works the same way as in normal Pokémon infobox, because this is based on it) if it exists, versions tag should be renamed as games, imgsize to size. I'll try to fix as many as I can once I get back on computer (hope at least someone else understands the code as well and goes to fix those - I'll also list the variables once I have time).

I just made a few edits to the [[TV2]] article.

The Pokémon pages are protected, yes: but there are over 15,000 non-protected articles and 99 times out of 100 these are the ones that need fixing!

:function.mkdir doesn't exist as a page because it isn't ''supposed'' to be a page, it's a php function. So I don't suggest clicking that link (I have no idea why it's supplied as a link in warning messages in the first place :|).

== Questionnnnnnn ==

Hey Trom (or whoever happens upon this who can answer, Trom was the first who came to mind though so here I am), got a little question.

Since the lockdown of the Pokemon articles I've been keeping a [[User:Umeko/HGSSdex|page of dex entries to be added after they're unlocked]].{{tt|*|The page hasn't been updated in over a week so I have several more entries to add to it, though}} I was thinking that I might as well (finally) go about and make edit requests on the appropriate talk pages, because hey, I had no reason not to, but with the upcoming maintenance would it just make more work for the admins at this point?

tl;dr: should I go ahead and make the edit requests {{tt|now|by which I mean in a few hours when I'm at home}}, or should I wait until after maintenance is done?

Thanks! [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 20:29, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Movie_13] {{unsigned|Mr.Anonymous}}
:Yeah, I don't do Japanese.... the point is that no official confirmation has been given yet. We've known there has been a third movie in the works for a while; it was hinted at at the end of Number 12. But there is so little information it doesn't justify making an article yet. Bulbapedia does have standards of quality and also takes care to ''not'' post articles before any official announcement has been made. Take note of the example I gave earlier; this is the exact same thing we're talking about. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 10:20, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm not trying to be rude but If you go on http://www.pokemon-movie.jp/ and watch the video it has the number 2010 and it shows Lugia and Ho-Oh . Which means there has to be a 13th Movie. And On Wikipedia It even says " : It is the thirteenth Pokemon Movie. It features Lugia and Ho-Oh from Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver."

PS. If it's confirmed can i make the article then ? {{unsigned|Mr.Anonymous}}
:Judging by the similarities between the two articles (your deleted one; the Wikipedia one) you either plagiarized or you wrote them both. That doesn't do a lot to make it more credible, btw. The video actually crashed my browser, but simply having Ho-Oh and Lugia does not mean there will be a movie. They could appear in the anime for all we know. I've told you already (and so has Kenji-girl) that Bulbapedia has high quality standards. The article is not allowed at present time. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 10:32, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

The reason that it does not refer to the Dragon Trio is this: It is talking about what binds together Time and Space, which is most defiantly a reference to the Lake Trio and the unused in-game item, the Red Chain.

"Two beings of time and space set free from the Original One."
"Three beings were born to bind time and space."
"Two make matter and three make spirit, shaping the world."

It doesn't even make sense to be the Dragon Trio just in the way it is worded. It's supposed to be a story, therefore two were created from the original one, and then three were born to bind them (which is why they had to create the red chain, because the Lake Trio binded time and space. Then the next line says that the five of them together shaped the world.

:Nothing has been deleted. It has been moved to the bottom of the page where it belongs. Additionally, I was away having dinner. I do have a life outside of this site, despite what most people may think. Now, let's examine that article.
:Firstly, you removed the whole Johto paragraph. Big no-no. That contained relevant information about the number of filler episodes that were used at the end of the season, as well as reasoned analysis about why they were included. That's a good thing. It never states that Johto inherently sucks, nor does it state that Sinnoh is pwningly cool. While I agree that the section does need to be rewritten to some extent, deleting paragraphs you disagree with was not the way to do it. That was why I—and others—reverted your edits (as well as the fact that you added Sinnoh-bias).
:Now regarding your block. Maverick Nate was not being mean to you; he was explaining on my behalf that I was away from my desk; we had previously been communicating on AIM and he did so under my instructions because I simply did not have the time to.

== So I was going through the block log for the lulz... ==

I was just curious: does the ''We've reached our monthly quota of new users'' actually mean what it says, or is it just a funny message the admins use for whatever reason? [[User:Frugali|Frugali]] 01:32, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
:Funny block reason. It's used if it's blatantly obvious why a user has been blocked (permanently), mostly to discourage them to go away. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 04:17, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

==Pictures on Bulbapedia==
I just have a quick question. I've been noticing that alot of the pictures on bulbapedia are... strange? The look it I mean. Kinda blocky, pixely? Does this have something to do with the message I kept getting over the screen when I was on the website yesturday, the 'error code 20221' or whatever it is? [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 16:41, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
:Yeah, that error code (from what I can make out and have been told) is to do with images. If it hasn't been fixed already, I'm sure there will be people working on it and you have no need to worry. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 21:21, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

hi, just keen to know if you've started any pages related to this.As its been a while since ive done any edits.Thanks.--[[User:Solidstate|Solid!]] 09:14, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
:I unfortunately have not had the time to do so yet. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 22:02, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

== protected pages ==

I just want to ask if any Bulbapedia articles such as a article on a old Pokemon episode or one on say pokemon blue game.Will ever become protected if all the information required is their , and no more needs to be added? thanks --[[User:Solidstate|Solid!]] 10:56, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
:We don't normally protect pages just because they're "old" or "complete". Someone may always have something to add or correct. It's a community project, and everyone is allowed to edit any page, unless there's a specific reason to protect it. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 13:51, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

== Protection of the page on future generations ==

[[Future generations of Pokémon]] was protected by you while everyone thought that TPCi had announced generation 5 on twitter. Now that we know that [http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Twitter_account_fake the announcement was a fake], can we please unprotect the page? [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] 21:09, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

== Usertag proposal ==

Hello Trom. Just to let you know, I am proposing this usertag: 
[[User:Andros 1337/User No Tiers]]

I would like to get approval on it before I can move it to the Template space. I hope you can help here. Thanks. [[User:Andros 1337|Andros 1337]] 05:15, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
:Approved. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 05:31, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

== Thank You ==

I would like to personally thank you for fixing the Pokémon pages that were affected by someone messing with the template. Seeing Missingno always seems to shock me due it the appearance. Thanks again. [[User:Super goku|Super goku]] 23:13, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

I was wondering, are you an administrator? The reason I asked is because this page[[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Template:PokémonInfobox]] has not been fixed. It was the main reason as you know, but I was wondering if you could edit it, so everything reverts back to normal and all the pokemon display the correct information [[User:Super goku|Super goku]] 00:41, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, Trom is an admin. That page you linked to is supposed to show as Missingno as that is the default for the template. That way if something is missed it makes it a bit more obvious. The reason all the pages were temporarily showing Missingno is that (I assume) the admins were changing the pages and template back to what it was before [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=46076 the iPhone app fiasco], and so the parameters for the pages and the template didn't match up. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 00:55, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
::That must explain it. For a while I believed someone hacked the template for some reason or another. Thanks for explaining thar Werdnae. [[User:Super goku|Super goku]] 03:54, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
:::It's not often people thank me for breaking the server. I think I like it. 495 edits in 67 minutes is an extreme effort. Good job, team. Let's do it again tomorrow, same time, same place. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 04:40, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I just realized that I made a slight oversight on [[template:PokéWalker]] and need someone help me fix it.

== Yesterday ==

We had decided on the continued use of [[a:File:Dominic.jpg]]. Even though it is still a jpg, it is better than that artifact ridden, jpg converted png. Earlier, I tried to restore what we decided on, but for whatever reason, the archives wouldn't let me restore the file part of the jpg. Now, we are stuck with this horrible quality lie of a png. I was wondering if you could try to restore the jpg yourself, because it isn't working for me. Since you brought us this mess, you are getting us out. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 14:25, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
:The two images looked the same to me, so I removed the jpg per usual policy. I have no idea why it won't let you restore the file (or if this has been resolved); I suggest you speak with Zhen or Evan. As no action had been taken on the png and no one had told me what was actually happening, I accept no responsibility for this. If a decision was made earlier, then action should have been taken at the time of the decision. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 05:25, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
::It was taken. We had already reverted the edit that put the png onto the page. Just, no one had deleted the png as of that moment. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 16:10, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Well, if u could, could u tell me on what page u changed and deleted? I want to know for sure :) Thanks --[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang95]] 09:08, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
:You can see the pages removed at [[Special:Log/delete|the deletion log]]. If you'd like me to email you the content of any of them, I am happy to do that. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 09:12, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

'''Newmoon Island''' (Japanese: '''しんげつじま''' ''New Moon Island'') is an island in the [[Sinnoh]] region, home to the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Darkrai}}. It is a rocky island that has a small clearing with a pond which is shaped as a circle to represent the new moon. Whether Pokémon did reside here or not is a mystery. If they did, they were probably scared off by Darkrai.

To get to the island, one must receive the [[Member Card]] at a Nintendo event. Due to [[Surf glitch|a glitch]] in the Japanese version of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, players are able to reach this area without the Member Card, a problem that Nintendo has fixed in subsequent releases of the games. Nintendo has also issued a patch to numerous retailers in Japan. A [[tweaking|similar glitch]] allows for the area to be visited in English and other international releases in Diamond and Pearl, as well, however, all of these have been addressed in all releases of {{game|Platinum}}.

Once this area is accessed. You can access it as many times as you want through the sailor at Canalave City.

:''For the Pokémon based on the animal seal, see {{p|Seel}}.''
----
[[Image:TRSeals.jpg|thumb|right|{{TP|James|Carnivine}}, {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}}, and {{MTR}} play around with seals]]'''Seals''' are small stickers that are able to be attached to [[Ball Capsule]]s, which can in turn be attached to [[Poké Ball]]s, to attain a special effect when a [[Pokémon]] comes out of them, instead of the usual flash of light. The majority of them can be purchased in the Sunyshore Market in [[Sunyshore City]], where the selection changes daily. However, there are an additional 28 seals (letters A through Z and the exclamation point and question mark), obtained by showing {{p|Unown}} to a boy in [[Solaceon Town]]. This can be repeated as often as needed - a new Unown is not needed each time.

Eight seals at a time can be attached to any Ball Capsule. They can be set on the {{player}}'s [[PC]]. Where they are placed on the Ball Capsule will affect where the effect is displayed upon the Pokémon's release.

A [[glitch]] on the [[Global Trade Station|GTS]] allows [[Player character|the player]] to get an [[item]] called [[Seal Bag]], which holds 10 seals. Its function was superseded by the [[Seal Case]].

Once a seal is bought, it cannot be sold or thrown away legally.

'''Explosion''' (Japanese '''だいばくはつ''' ''Giant Explosion'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is currently the most powerful move in terms of its base power, being a more powerful move than the similar {{m|Selfdestruct}}.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Explosion does damage, and causes the user to faint. Though its power is 170, the target's {{stat|Defense}} will be halved when damage from this attack is calculated, giving it an effective power of 340. The game will bump 0 up to 1 to avoid infinite damage, so Explosion will then effectively have a power of 170 if used against a target with a Defense value of 1.

If Explosion breaks a target's {{m|Substitute}}, the user will not faint, though its image will be replaced by a blank image. Additionally, if the user of Explosion had a Substitute at the time of such a situation, uses Substitute later, or switches out, its regular image will once again become visible.

If the user of Explosion attacks first and faints itself, the target will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round.

In Stadium, if Explosion breaks a target's Substitute, the user will faint.

Explosion has a power of 170 in Generation I.

===Generation II and on===
Explosion's base power was changed to the current 250. The Defense-halving step still applies, giving it an effective power of 500.

==In other games==
{{g|Mystery Dungeon}}: Explosion does not cause the user to faint, but instead cuts its HP in half, and affects all Pokémon, items, and walls within 2 tiles of the user, reducing HP by half on teammates, by 80 on hostile Pokémon, and destroying all walls and items.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Lickilicky}} and {{p|Smeargle}} are the only Pokémon that can learn this attack and receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] on it. This is not considering the possibility of {{m|Metronome}} selecting Explosion randomly.
* This attack can achieve up to 412.5 Base Power if powered up with {{p|Lickilicky}}'s STAB and a Silk Scarf.
* Pokémon in the animé (with the exception of Brock's {{p|Foretress}} who does explosion seems to die after using it, as they are not seen in the episode after using Explosion.

==In other languages==
* French: '''Explosion'''
* German: '''Explosion'''
* Italian: '''Esplosione'''
* Spanish: '''Explosión'''

'''Fly''' (Japanese: '''そらをとぶ''' ''Fly'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Flying}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is [[HM02]] in all generations.

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generation I====
[[File:Fly_battle_demo.gif|thumb|250px|left|Demonstration of Fly in battle]]
On the turn that Fly is selected, the user will fly up high, where the only attacks it cannot avoid are {{m|Bide}}, {{m|Swift}}, and {{m|Transform}}. On the following turn, Fly will inflict damage, PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Fly is selected, the user will be unable to switch out unless Fly is disrupted or fully executed.

If Fly is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted from it, and it will not count as the last move used. If the opponent uses {{m|Mirror Move}} during the turn that the user flies up high, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using Fly (or fail if it can't).

Full {{status|paralysis}} and self-inflicted damage due to confusion will disrupt Fly. Additionally, if the user is fully paralyzed during the mostly-invulnerable turn of Fly, the mostly-invulnerable part will not be reset until the user switches out or fully executes Fly.

In [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]], Fly will allow the user to avoid damage reversed by Bide. Full paralysis will reset the mostly-invulnerable part of Fly. Mirror Move will copy Fly on either of the turns it takes to execute.

====Generation II====
Same as Generation I, however, the user cannot avoid {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Twister}}, or {{m|Whirlwind}} whilst flying up high, and will receive double damage from Gust and Twister.

The user may also be hit in the air if it was previously targeted by {{m|Lock-On}} or {{m|Mind Reader}}, and then struck the following turn. Swift, Bide and Transform no longer hit on their own during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly.

====Generation III====
Same as Generation II, however, the user is now unable to avoid {{m|Sky Uppercut}} whilst flying up high.

====Generation IV====
Same as Generation III, however, the base [[Power]] has increased to 90, instead of 70.

===Outside of battle===
[[Image:Fly_demo.gif|right|thumb|250px|'''Fly''' in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]].]]
Players can fly to select spots they've been to, usually outside the entrance to a town's [[Pokémon Center]]. The only exceptions are the character's home town, where they land outside their house, the Regional Pokémon League, where they land at the entrance to the main building. A another notable exemption is the lake of Rage, where the player simply lands near the lake, the only place not to have the player land in front of a building.

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
Charizard uses Fly as its Up Special move. It rotates in the air while gaining height, damaging nearby enemies. It acts as a recovery move for returning to the stage.

==Trivia==
* In {{g|Colosseum}}, {{p|Charizard}} dives on the ground on the second turn of Fly.
* As of [[Generation IV]], Fly is one of three [[HM]] moves that can be learned by level-up; the other two are {{m|Whirlpool}} and {{m|Waterfall}}.
** The {{p|Salamence|two}} {{p|Rayquaza|Pokémon}} that learn it this way are dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation III]].
*Many Pokémon which are noted for their ability to fly (as well as carry a passenger) over long distances are unable to learn this move, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. Likewise, many Flying-types cannot learn this apparently due to their size ({{p|Drifloon}}) while their evolutions can, while others can learn it despite their size ({{p|Pidgey}} at 1'0").
*{{p|Doduo}} and {{p|Dodrio}} are both able to learn Fly, despite not having any wings. This is because the Japanese name for the move can also be translated as "sky jump", and both are known for their prowess at jumping.
*Until Generation III, the only Pokémon able to learn Fly (with the exception of Mew, who can learn any TM and HM move) were Flying-types. Since Generation III, the only non-Flying-types able to learn Fly have been Dragon-types.
*Mew and Arceus( not in Sky Plate or Draco Plate) are the only non-Flying or Dragon-types to be able to learn fly.

'''Anorith''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アノプス''' ''Anopth'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Bug}} Pokémon.

It is resurrected from a [[Fossil|Claw Fossil]] and then evolves into {{p|Armaldo}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
Anorith is a fossil Pokémon no longer found in the wild, and must be resurrected from a [[Claw Fossil]].

===Physiology===
Anorith is a swimming creature which uses flexible lobes on the sides of its body to propel itself through the water. Its large head had one pair of large, beady eyes. Two large claws protrude from its head, serving as either defense against predators or attack against prey. These claws eventually turn to the fossil that can be used to revive the Anorith.

====Gender differences====
No gender differences.

====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
Anorith hunt for prey on the sea floor and grip their prey in their sharp claws.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
The exact habitat of Anorith is unknown, but so far [[Root and Claw Fossils|Claw Fossils]] are only found in the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] regions.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:AnorithAnime.png|thumb|220px|Anorith in the anime]]
Its first appearance was on a small island to the east of Hoenn's mainland in ''[[AG102|Where's Armaldo?]]'' where it was being studied with the other fossil Pokémon from Hoenn.

More Anorith were resurrected and studied by the scientists in [[Oreburgh City]] in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]''.

Team Rocket's plan in ''[[DP107|Ancient Family Matters!]]'' is to steal a large Claw Fossil, though the Pokémon itself does not fully appear.

===Origin===
Anorith appears to be closely based on an {{wp|Anomalocaris}}.
====Name origin====
Anorith's name possibly comes from a combination of ''Anomalocaris'' and ''lith'', meaning rock or stone.

==Trivia==
*Anorith and its evolution, {{p|Armaldo}}, are the only {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon with genders that are not in the {{egg3|Bug}}.

*Despite hunting on the ocean floor, it is a rock-type. Therefore, it should be weak to water and not be able to be in the ocean.
===Origin===
Anorith appears to be closely based on an {{wp|Anomalocaris}}.
====Name origin====
Anorith's name possibly comes from a combination of ''Anomalocaris'' and ''lith'', meaning rock or stone.

'''Weezing''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マタドガス''' ''Matadogas'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Koffing}} starting at [[level]] 35.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Weezing mostly look like two {{P|Koffing}} stuck together, with one bigger than the other. The smaller head only has a circle on it, instead of the skull-and-crossbones. It also has a third chamber and two appendages connecting the three segments. The larger head has prominent eyebrows, pointed teeth protruding from its lower jaw, and flatter teeth on its upper jaw.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Each head had a different toxin in it. When one of the heads is inflated, the other deflates, mixing the gases. By doing this multiple times, it becomes more toxic and noxious. Unusually enough, high-grade perfumes could be made from Weezing. It's also prone to exploding.

===Behavior===

Weezing will find a dirty, unkept house and make it its home. At night, when the people in the house are asleep, it will go through the trash.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Weezing live in urban and suburban areas.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Weezing feed on the gases, dust, and microorganisms emitted by garbage and toxic waste.

==In the anime==
[[Image:James_weezing.jpg|thumb|right|{{TP|James|Weezing}} in the anime]]
===Major Appearances===
====[[James's Weezing]]====
[[James]]'s {{p|Koffing}} evolved into {{TP|James|Weezing}} during ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett]]''. In ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]'', it left them with [[Jessie's Arbok]] to protect a group of Koffing and {{p|Ekans}} that were freed from the captivity of a [[Pokémon poacher]].

====Other====

===Minor Appearances===
{{Ash}} used [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|a Weezing]] in a [[Pokémon League]] entrance exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]''. It defeated the instructor's {{p|Flareon}}, and eventually exploded.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Both [[Koga]] and his daughter, [[Janine]], have Weezing as a part of their [[party|arsenals]].

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

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

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Weezing|24}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Weezing will emit {{m|Poison Gas}} that juggles any opponent who comes near it.

Weezing is also a float in the Poké Float stage. It appears as {{p|Chikorita}} leaves. Once {{p|Slowpoke}} appears, it will slowly deflate and move to the top of the screen.

====Trophy information====
The evolved form of Koffing, Weezing is basically a pair of Koffing fused together. They tend to float in the air and emit gas or noxious smoke from the outgrowths that cover their bodies. As strange as it may seem, diluting Weezing emissions as much as possible creates one of the most exquisite perfumes known to man.

{{Dex
|type=poison
|gen=1
|redbluedex=Where two kinds of poison gases meet, two {{p|Koffing}}s can fuse into a Weezing over many years.
|yellowdex=It lives and grows by absorbing dust, germs, and poison gases that are contained in toxic waste and garbage.
|stadiumdex=A twinned Koffing that forms on rare occasions where poisonous gases pool. Its two toxic gases appear to be different.
|golddex=If one of the twin Koffing inflates, the other one deflates. It constantly mixes its poisonous gases.

==Trivia==
* In the English version of the game, Weezing was originally going to have the name ''La'', the abbreviation of {{wp|Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles}}, possibly representing its polluted air.
* Weezing and {{p|Koffing}} are the the only pure {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon immune to {{type2|Ground}} attacks, due to their in-game ability, {{a|Levitate}}.
* Only two Weezing have ever been shown in the anime - {{OP|James|Weezing}} and {{DL|Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|Weezing|the one}} belonging to the [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor]]. Of the two, James's Weezing is the only one to be seen in more than one episode.
* Weezing has the highest {{stat|Defense}} out of all Poison-type Pokémon.

===Origin===
Considering its looks, its ability to float, and its tendency to explode, it may have been based upon a floating {{wp|naval mine}}.
====Name origin====
Weezing's name is a corruption of the word ''wheezing''. Its Japanese name may come from 又 ''mata'', again, and 獰 ''dō'', meaning bad, or 毒 ''doku'', meaning poisonous, and ''{{wp|gas}}''. Essentially, it is a doubling of Koffing's Japanese name, and thus a doubling of Koffing – which is exactly what Weezing is.

'''Gyarados''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャラドス''' ''Gyarados'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magikarp}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gyarados is a large dragon Pokémon most similar in appearance to those seen in Chinese mythology. Its serpentine body is largely blue, but its underbelly is yellow. It has four white fins down its back. Its mouth is very large and gaping, but bears some resemblance to that of its pre-evolution {{p|Magikarp}}. Like Magikarp, it has barbels on its face. Its pectoral and dorsal fins also resemble Magikarp's. Gyarados is only rarely shown with its mouth closed.

====Gender differences====
A female has white barbels.

====Special abilities====
Gyarados, like most dragon-like Pokémon, has a high {{Stat|Attack}} stat, causing it to rely more on physical attacks than special ones. It is one of the few {{type2|Water}}s able to wield both [[Fire (type)#Moves|fire]] and [[Electric (type)#Moves|electric]] attacks.

===Behavior===
This Pokémon bears little resemblance to its docile {{p|Magikarp|pre-evolution}}. Gyarados is infamously known for its fierce temper and wanton destructive tendencies. Once it has worked itself into a frenzy, it will not calm until everything around it is destroyed—this tendency is attributed to the dramatic structural changes its brain undergoes during evolution. It seems attracted to violence, although this Pokémon is very rarely seen in the wild. During times of human conflict Gyarados are said to appear, burning entire cities down to the ground.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Gyarados usually live in large bodies of water, such as lakes and ponds or even seas and oceans. The [[Lake of Rage]] is a known nesting area for a [[red Gyarados]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Redgyaradoshyperbeam.jpg‎|thumb|210px|[[Red Gyarados]] using {{m|Hyper Beam}}]]
Gyarados had a cameo appearance in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' It was then seen in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''. [[James]] was frustrated with his {{p|Magikarp}} and kicked it into the water. That Magikarp [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|James|Gyarados}}.

Groups of Gyarados were seen from within a submarine disguised as or styled after a Gyarados by [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'' shortly before the onset of a massive, annual tidal wave celebrated by local surfers who were apparently not aware of the annual migration. According to James, the Gyarados gathered each year in this location to lay their eggs.

In ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Gyarados owned by [[Fergus]] was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}}. Fergus attacked Mewtwo with Gyarados' Hyper Beam but Mewtwo turned the attack back on itself, knocking the Gyarados out. The Gyarados clone is seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

A Gyarados appeared in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''.

[[Nurse Joy]] had befriended a [[giant Pokémon|giant]] Magikarp that later evolved into Gyarados in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''. Despite Magikarp being giant, it was regular sized as a Gyarados.

The Magikarp that [[Dr. Quackenpoker]] had been observing evolved into Gyarados in ''[[EP109|The Wacky Watcher!]]''.
[[Image:Gyarados 2.jpg|thumb|210px|left|[[Misty's Gyarados]] in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'']]
[[Trinity]] used a Gyarados in her battle against Misty in the Whirl Cup in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''.

''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' and ''[[EP236|Rage Of Innocence]]'' focused on a [[red Gyarados]]. It was on a destructive rampage until [[Lance]] captured it. This Gyarados appeared again in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'' to stop the feuding of {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.

Misty obtained a {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} after passing the [[PIA]] test in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]]''.

A Gyarados appeared in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]''.

A Gyarados was used in ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', under the ownership of [[Crasher Wake]].

A Gyarados is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP016|Gyarados|Ash's Pokédex|Gyarados. This Pokémon has a vicious temperament, so use extreme caution. Its fangs can crush stones and its scales are harder than steel.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Original|Kanto}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Gyarados debuts in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter in its own round, ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]''. Here, an enraged one attacks its own trainer, [[Misty]], but is recaught by {{Special|Red}}, who supposedly returns it to her. The drastic change in attitude of the Pokémon was the result of a [[Team Rocket]] experiment as is shown in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]''.

Later on, Misty traded this Gyarados to Red in exchange for Red's {{p|Krabby}}.

Gyarados is later seen with [[Lance]], using its {{m|BubbleBeam}} to shield him from the lava of [[Mt. Cerise]].

A [[Red Gyarados]] was seen in the [[Lake of Rage]] 3 years later, but it was caught by {{Special|Silver}}. It had the ability to control the other Gyarados in the lake.

When Red borrows {{Special|Green}}'s {{p|Charizard}} to travel to [[Mt. Silver]], he temporarily trades his Gyarados to Green. It later appears as one of Green's Pokémon in {{PSV|13}}, used against {{p|Entei}}, and later part of his revealed team during the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff. Prior to the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, Green returns Gyarados to Red.

Both Gyarados have remained on their {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s teams to this day.

==Game data==
In {{Game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] Gyarados is featured on the TV on a program called "Search for the Red Gyarados". It is this that inspires {{Ga|Lucas}} or {{Ga|Dawn}} and {{Ga|Pearl|their rival}} to go to [[Lake Verity]], to see if there is a rare [[Pokémon]] dwelling in it.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}: A Gyarados appears in the [[Miracle Sea]]. He attempts to take control of the {{p|Phione}}, but is stopped by the player's team.

==Trivia==
* According to some Nintendo of America artwork, Gyarados was originally slated to have the English name Skullkraken, a combination of the words "skull" and "{{wp|kraken}}" (a mythological sea monster). This wouldn't have worked in the games though because the game only allows a maximum of 10 letters in a Pokémon's name.
* Oddly, despite being part {{type2|Flying}}, it does not have wings and the only Flying-type move it can learn is {{m|Bounce}}, which it can only learn from a [[move tutor]] in {{game|Platinum}}. However, it has been seen flying in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* In Generation II, it became the only 100%-certain {{shiny2}} encounter and the first of only two {{shiny2}} Pokémon to be integrated into a game's plot (the second was [[Celebi (Mystery Dungeon 2 character)|Celebi]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]).
* Gyarados has minor differences between all of its {{shiny2}} sprites, making it slightly unique to each game. In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, Gyarados's shiny sprite is gold and red, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, its sprites have a pink hue to them. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, its sprites appear more orange. Lastly, in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, the sprite loses most of its gold and becomes a standard red color.
** Gyarados's normal colors during Gold and Silver showed it being darker hue of blue than previously displayed. This was corrected in {{game|Crystal}}.
* In the Pokémon anime, Gyarados's eyes are violet instead of the red that appears in its sprites and official artwork.
* Gyarados is one of ten non-{{t|Bug}}, {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that cannot learn {{m|Fly}}.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Gyarados is the only non-legendary boss Pokémon to speak entirely in capital letters.
* In the anime episode ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]'', Gyarados has the same cry as Dialga.
* None of its in-game sprites shows it with its mouth closed. It shared this trait with {{p|Magikarp}}, its pre-evolution, up until Platinum.
* In many ways, Gyarados is the [[Kanto]] counterpart of [[Hoenn]]'s {{p|Milotic}}. Both are the evolved forms of incredibly weak fish Pokémon, and both appear in times of conflict, Gyarados to destroy, Milotic to becalm. Both have base stat totals of 540, the only difference is the distribution in their stats: Gyarados is more offensively based while Milotic is more defensively based.
*It is ironic that many Pokédex entries says that Gyarados burns things down, despite being a Water-type.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on a sea dragon or {{wp|sea serpent}}. Gyarados is partially based on a legend about how carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles (which can be tied to the fact that Gyarados' pre-evolution, Magikarp, could possibly take a lot of drive and effort to legitimately evolve into Gyarados).
====Name origin====
Gyarados's name may be derived from a combination of 虐殺 ''gyakusatsu'' massacre/slaughter, and 逆境 ''gyakkyō'', hardship/adversity. Both words relate to the creature's violent nature and the hardship it experienced before evolving. The ''dos'' may just indicate that it's the second in its evolutionary line. Alternatively, the end of Gyarados' name, ドス ''dosu'', is a Japanese onomatopeic word representing the piercing of flesh, once again owing to Gyarados' violent nature.

'''Jessie''' (Japanese: '''ムサシ''' ''Musashi'') is one member of of the [[Team Rocket]] trio also consisting of [[James]] and {{MTR}}, that follows around {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} in the [[Pokémon anime]], usually trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]], but always failing.

==In the anime==
===Character===
Jessie's mother, [[Miyamoto]], was a high-ranking Team Rocket agent. When Jessie was around the age of three, Miyamoto left on a mission to the {{wp|Andes}} to record the voice of the elusive Pokémon {{p|Mew}}. However, after Miyamoto disappeared, Jessie was put into a foster home which had very little money. There were times when she had no choice but to eat snow because of a lack of more nourishing food.

When she was old enough, she left home to become a Pokémon nurse in [[Johto]]. However, the school she was enrolled in was literally for ''Pokémon'' nurses (i.e. {{p|Chansey}}), so she failed to graduate and left, leaving behind a Chansey she had befriended there. In the episode ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', Jessie was reunited with that same Chansey, which had since evolved into a {{p|Blissey}}. It is assumed that she then traveled back to [[Kanto]], where she enrolled in [[Pokémon Tech]], a trainer's school, she met [[James]], and subsequently failed and dropped out. After this, Jessie and James joined a bicycle gang in Sunny Town, where Jessie was known for swinging a chain above her head as she rode her bike, acquiring the nickname "Chainer Jess".
 
Due to conflicts in canon between Kanto and Johto episodes and the special episode ''[[H012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between Jessie and James after the bike gang is unknown. What ''is'' known, as shown in the special episode, is that they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with {{MTR}} but they quickly made up and became good friends.

Sometime before joining Team Rocket, and it is not known when, Jessie obtained a [[Contest Pass]] in the [[Hoenn]] region. Also during the years before Team Rocket, she had several boyfriends, all of whom left her and/or treated her badly. In ''[[EP234|Xatu the Future]]'', she revealed that she had once worked at a T.V. station as the weathergirl. In ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]'', it was revealed that she once was a ninja.

She has a long-standing bitter rivalry with [[Cassidy]], another member of Team Rocket. And Team Rocket member {{an|Wendy}} held a grudge against Jessie for failing to pay for a drink (making Wendy pay), but got her revenge when she added the charge to Jessie's overall Team Rocket bill.
[[File:Jessie hair.png|thumb|Jessie after beating up her Seviper for biting off her hair|220px]]
Jessie seems to have a special preference for snake-like [[Pokémon]], owning both an {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and a {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké Showdown]]'', she expressed a preference for {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon in general.

Jessie is also known to be very vain, and since she values her appearance she can get furious when her face or hair is damaged, such as in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile!]]'' and ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]''. When this happens, she may do things like beat up a Pokémon such as {{MTR}} or her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. Furthermore, Jessie goes into a violent outrage whenever someone insults her beauty by calling her old, such as the episode ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' when [[Misty]] calls Jessie an "old hag".

Starting in [[Hoenn]], Jessie became a [[Pokémon Coordinator]], entering every contest that she could. She frequently made it to the battle round, but usually lost there. However, in ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith]]'', she finally succeeded in winning an (unofficial) contest by using [[Ash's Aipom]], which she had saved earlier in the episode. And, in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', she won an official contest with her Dustox at [[Solaceon Town]]. Later in ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist]]'', she won a ribbon with help of her Yanmega. She has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in the Hoenn, Kanto, and Sinnoh regions.

In the Kanto contests, Jessie [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] herself as ''Jessebella'' (which is similar to James' former fiancée's name, [[Jessiebelle]]) wearing a red dress and glasses. Eventually, Ash, Brock, Max and May found out her true identity in the last contest.
[[File:Jessalina.png|thumb|left|220px|Jessie disguised as ''Jessalina'']]
During the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Jessie dressed up as ''Jessadia'' and wore glasses, long white socks, a yellow and orange dress, and had her hair in pigtails. She worked there as an announcer and [[Lilian Meridian]]'s assistant; Lilian herself said she did not really like "Jessadia"'s style, but recognized her talent.

In Sinnoh {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s, Jessie disguised herself as ''Jessalina'' (Japanese: '''キャンディ・ムサリーナ''' ''Candy Musalina''), using big glasses and an orange dress. She was notable for the fact that, in the appeals round of a contest, Jessie tended to use her Pokémon to show herself off, rather than showing them off. In the Latin American dub, she entered Super Contests under the name Jessiebella (referencing Jessiebelle again).

In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' she once again used her Jessadia disguise to report on the [[Wallace Cup]].

Although Jessie entered mostly every contest in Hoenn & Kanto, she lost in all of them, whether it was the first match of the Battle Rounds or the finals. But in the Sinnoh Region, she has so far won 2 ribbons using her Dustox and Yanmega.

===Pokémon===
As with the standards set by the Team Rocket organization, Jessie initially started off with mainly {{type2|Poison}}s. However, as the anime continued onward, her team has diversified. However, she is still strongly associated with poison-type serpentine Pokémon, such as Arbok and Seviper. Most of her other Pokémon tend to be unusual in appearance and don't usually fit the general image of "cute". However, she does display a desire to obtain Pokémon that are considered "adorable" when the opportunity presents itself, especially feminine Pokémon such as {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Smoochum}}. Occasionally, she manages to take control of some powerful Pokémon, but due to either inexperience or hubris, this often backfires and loses control of them. She doesn't appear to train her Pokémon that often. Instead, they are often used to fight against Ash and his friends. When she enters contests, she tends to involve herself in her Pokémon's appeals.

==In the games==
==={{game|Yellow}}===
Both Jessie and James appear in Pokémon Yellow as in-game bosses. They first attack the main character in [[Mt. Moon]], while trying to take one of the rare [[fossil]]s uncovered there.

Later, in [[Celadon City]]'s [[Rocket Game Corner]], Jessie and James guard Giovanni's room in the Team Rocket base. During that time, as the player runs into them, they are eager for revenge after the main character busted up their plans at Mt. Moon.

They hold Mr. Fuji hostage at [[Pokémon Tower]]. They attack the {{ga|Red|main character}} on the seventh floor.

Finally, at [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]], Jessie and James make their final appearance, once again trying to stall the main character from reaching [[Giovanni|their Boss]].

Unlike in the anime, Jessie and James do not follow the main character around and come up with their usual evil plans to capture Pikachu.

===Pokémon Puzzle League===
Along with many other anime characters, both Jessie and James appeared in [[Pokémon Puzzle League]].

==In the TCG==
Jessie and James appear on both versions of the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Here Comes Team Rocket!|15}}, which originally released in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set; it was re-released with different artwork in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}. In that expansion, there was also a preconstructed [[Theme Deck]] based on {{TCG|Jessie}}. 

==In the manga==
===[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]===
Jessie and James both made an appearance in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}, which was based off of the anime.

While Jessie's role in the Pokémon anime has not yet ended, in this manga, she ended up {{s|RocketShipping|married to James}} and having a baby on the way.

==Trivia==
* Both Jessie and [[James]] have used a {{p|Charizard}} at separate times. They used a third one together as well. None of the three remained in their care, however.
[[Image:Jessie's_Lure.jpg‎|Jessie's special lure|thumb]]
* In Sinnoh, she dressed up as a cowgirl and she was called Catherine Jessieburn. This is a direct reference to the legendary Hollywood actress {{wp|Katharine Hepburn}}.
* Jessie is currently the only member of the anime's main cast who is traveling with a Pokémon not in the extended Sinnoh Dex. In fact, she has two; {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}.
* Much like [[Misty's special lure|Misty's]], Jessie also has a special lure being modeled after her, like seen in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''.
* In ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom!]]'', Jessie had {{wp|sinusitis}}.
* In the main series games, Jessie and [[James]] are the only characters from [[Generation I]] to appear only in that generation, as they do not reappear in [[Generation II]] when [[Kanto]] is revisited, and (being exclusive to [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon Yellow]]) were not adapted into the [[Pokémon_FireRed_and_LeafGreen_Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]] remakes.
* Jessie's hair color changed from red to magenta in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin at You, Elekid]]''. This was because this episode was the first to feature digital colored animation. In all the hand-colored cel animated episodes before the latter, Jessie's hair color was red.

===Moves Used===

Fury Swipes

Mega Kick

===Name origin===
Jessie's English name is taken from {{wp|Jesse James}}, an American outlaw. Her Japanese name, Musashi, is taken from 宮本武蔵 ''{{wp|Miyamoto Musashi}}'', a famous Japanese swordsman. In his most famous duel, he defeated his rival, 佐々木小次郎 ''{{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}}'', after whom James got his Japanese name. However, one can argue that she is also named after the Japanese battleship {{wp|Musashi}}, as her rival [[Cassidy]]'s Japanese name is based off of the Japanese battleship {{wp|Yamato}}.

She is based on a combination of [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s old girlfriend from when he was in school and the female antagonist of the ''[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1472 Time Bokan]'' anime series.

'''Jessie's Seviper''' (Japanese: '''ムサシのハブネーク''' ''Musashi's Habunake'') was the first [[Pokémon]] caught by [[Jessie]] of [[Team Rocket]] during her travels through [[Hoenn]], presumably as a replacement for her recently released {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}. Its voice actress in Japanese is 佐藤智恵 ''[[Chie Satō]]'', and its English voice actors are [[Michael Sinterniklaas]] ([[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub) and [[Bill Rogers]] ({{PUSA}} dub). In the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] English dub, some of the noises made by Satō are retained along with Sinterniklaas's voice. When {{PUSA}} took over the dub, they stopped retaining Satō's voice.

==History==
[[Image:Musashitohabunake.jpg|Jessie showing her love towards Seviper|thumb|left]]
Jessie caught Seviper in ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]'' after initially being impressed with its sneaky and aggressive demeanor. It had defeated [[Ash's Sceptile|Ash's Treecko]] earlier in the episode, which is why Jessie wanted it so much. Although Seviper was intelligent, and outsmarted Team Rocket's multiple attempts to ensure its capture, Jessie caught Seviper after it had bitten off a chunk of her hair, mangling poor Seviper with her "{{m|Fury Swipes}}" and "{{m|Mega Kick}}".

Seviper is, along with [[Jessie's Yanmega|Yanmega]], Jessie's primary [[Pokémon battle|battling]] Pokémon, often seen battling alongside [[James's Cacnea]] in [[Hoenn]] and later [[James's Carnivine]] in [[Sinnoh]]. While shown to be fairly powerful before being caught by Jessie, after it fell into her command, it suffered the inevitable fate that all Team Rocket Pokémon face- defeat by {{Ash}} or another good character. In the episode ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose]]'', Jessie and Seviper were determined to win a battle against Seviper's mortal enemy, a {{p|Zangoose}} belonging to the trainer [[Nicolai]].

Seviper has also entered a few [[Pokémon contest|contests]]. In ''Mademoiselle Jessica'''s contest debut, in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', Seviper was Jessie's chosen Pokémon to enter the contest, but miserably failed to pass the Appeal Round, as Jessie didn't prepare herself to the contest, and ordered Seviper to use attacks that Seviper can't learn, such as {{m|Blaze Kick}}. She is then seen apologizing to it, meaning she does care about Seviper.
In ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', ''Jessalina'' used Seviper in the Appeal Round. Not much of the Appeal was seen, because while Seviper was performing it, {{an|Dawn}} was thinking about her [[Dawn's Pachirisu|Pachirisu]]'s Appeal, focusing the atention on her, not in Jessie. However, {{si|Kenny}} stated that Seviper was being quite good. Even though we couldn't see most of the appeal, we see how it finishes: Jessie ordered Seviper to perform {{m|Wrap}} and {{m|Bite}} on Jessie herself, and thus, amazing the crowd.
In the episode ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', ''Jessalina'' decided to face {{an|Dawn}} to "practice" for the [[Hearthome]] City contest. However, it was [[Zoey]] who accepted the challenge. Jessie used the combination of Seviper and {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} and her idea was to make Dustox use {{m|Poison Sting}} and then to make Seviper use {{m|Poison Tail}} on Dustox's {{m|Poison Sting}}, making it spin and added extra-power to it. [[Brock]] even said that that was a smart combination. However, that didn't work as [[Zoey's Glameow]] countered with {{m|Iron Tail}}, making the combination going to other side around and then [[Zoey's Shellos]] used {{m|Mud Bomb}}, breaking the combination of {{m|Poison Sting}} and {{m|Poison Tail}}. Seviper and Dustox both were then easily defeated by Zoey's Glameow.
In ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'' Seviper and Dustox were used in the Battle Round of the [[Hearthome]] City contest and lost against [[Nando]]. Not much of the battle was seen. In [[DP123]] it was also used in the battle round of a Contest and it was quite succesful until it lost to {{an|Dawn}}.

Since Jessie has caught [[Jessie's Yanmega|Yanmega]], Seviper isn't seen in as many battles as before.
It is also used as Team Rocket's escapist rogue to blanket the area in {{m|Haze}}, replacing [[James's Weezing]]'s duty to steal innocent Pokémon under the shrouded premises.

==Trivia==
*In [[DP023]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Jessie's Seviper. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: あかいキバ　わわるとアブネー　ハブネーク ''The red fangs, it's dangerous to touch them; Habunake''.
*In Jessie's first encounter with Seviper, she was taller than Seviper. However, in recent episodes, Seviper is much taller than her.
*Seviper also makes a second, low sound which sounds like purring. It usually does this when searching or surprised.
*Like its trainer, Seviper is "bossy", as shown in ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]'' when James insulted it and it hissed at him, in which James got scared and bowed to Seviper instead. It also hissed at {{MTR}} when he called it a big overgrown Caterpie and slapped him with its tail.
*In ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]'', its Japanese voice could be heard during the brawls with {{p|Zangoose}}.
*Aside from [[Ash's Pikachu]], {{MTR}}, and her {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, Seviper has been a part of a main character's [[party]] for longer than any other Pokémon, having been Jessie's main battler throughout all of {{series2|Advanced Generation}} and much of {{series2|Diamond and Pearl}}.
*This is the only Pokémon in the series that was caught while battling a human, and somehow, the human (Jessie) defeated Seviper.

----
[[Image:Pokémon_logo_English.png|200px|thumb|right|The logo of the Pokémon franchises used outside Japan]]'''Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters'', or '''ポケモン''' ''Pokémon'' for short) is a series of {{wp|video game}}s, and an entire franchise based around those games, that centers around the ability to "catch" and "train" creatures called ''Pokémon'', for which it is named. The term ''Pokémon'' may refer to the video game franchise, an individual Pokémon creature, or a Pokémon species.

==Etymology==
Pokémon is called "Pocket Monsters" in Japan. This would have been the name when transferred to North America, but "Pocket Monsters" would've caused trademarking problems with {{wp|Monster in My Pocket}}, so [[Nintendo]] settled on using the shortened version of the name which is also used in Japan, with the "Poké" coming from pocket and the "Mon" being derived from Monsters.

Due to the accent on the name, Pokémon has a specific pronunciation — ''Poh-Kay-Mon''. The emphasis on the '''e''' is from the accent. Common mispronunciations include ''Poke-Ay-Mon'', ''Poke-ee-man'', ''Poke-ee-mon'', ''Poke-ay-man'' and ''Pock-uh-mon''.

==Concept==
The basis of Pokémon is reminiscent of insect collecting, which the creator, [[Satoshi Tajiri]], enjoyed as a child.

At a glance, most Pokémon species are based off of ordinary animals, and sometimes plants. They are also inspired by ''{{wp|yōkai}}'', which are very popular in Japanese pop culture. This is evident from the extensive powers Pokémon exhibit, as well as their ever-growing, in-game mythology.

==Franchise==
Also called '''Pocket Monsters''' in Japan and some other countries, Pokémon is a mega-franchise including [[Pokémon games|video games]], an {{pkmn|anime}}, a {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, many {{pkmn|manga}} series, a [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game|miniatures game]], and much more merchandise. The concept of Pokémon was first created by [[Satoshi Tajiri]] and all Pokémon games are published by Nintendo Inc., Ltd for their video game systems, including the Game Boy, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo DS, and Wii. The games include strategy games and RPGs where the player becomes a "[[Pokémon Trainer]]" who encounters, captures, trains, and collects many Pokémon creatures; puzzle games; and pinball games. They were first released in 1996 in Japan, and were first released in the USA in 1998. Since then, as of 2009 the Pokémon Franchise has sold more than 186 million units worldwide, second only to {{wp|Mario}} with more than 201 million units sold worldwide and leaving even the next two closest franchises, {{wp|The Sims}} and {{wp|Final Fantasy}} in the dust with 100 million and 85 million, respectively.

Many sub-games have been released but three games managed to become series in and of themselves; the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series, the [[Pokémon Ranger]], and the [[Pokémon Stadium]] series.

==Collectively==
Pokémon inhabit virtually every corner of the {{pkmn|world}}: in forests, in deserts, in the sea, in the sky, and even in bustling cities. All Pokémon are hatched from {{pkmn|egg}}s and most can [[Pokémon breeding|reproduce]], save for legendary Pokémon, and other exceptions. In the wild, Pokémon sometimes fight one another. This can be for play, for food, or for defense. Pokémon, like all living creatures, are not immortal, although people new to Pokémon may have that misconception.

==Individually==
An individual Pokémon may be [[Wild Pokémon|encountered in the wild]], [[Captured Pokémon|caught]], [[Pokémon training|trained]], and [[Pokémon battle|battled with]]. In the games, individual Pokémon have many characteristics including [[stats]], [[individual values|IVs]], [[species]], [[Level]], [[Effort values|EVs]], [[Nature]], [[personality value]], [[Experience]], and known [[moves]].

==Species==
'''Pokémon species''' are "kinds" of Pokémon, such as {{p|Bulbasaur}} or {{p|Zubat}}. Individual Pokémon of certain species can change into some other species by [[evolution|evolving]], such as a Bulbasaur evolving into an {{p|Ivysaur}}. There are currently 493 officially released Pokémon species.

Species have certain characteristics inherent to each one. Examples include [[elemental types]], how many [[Effort values|EVs]] are awarded when a Pokémon of the species is defeated, [[base stats]], sprites and [[Alternate coloration|alternately-colored]] sprites, [[moves]] it learns by [[level|leveling up]], use of [[Technical Machine|TMs]] and [[Hidden Machine|HMs]] and by [[Move tutor]]s, [[experience|base experience]], experience required to level up, and evolution.

In the anime, most Pokémon [[cry|speak through syllables of their name]]. For example, Pikachu can only say the syllables Pi, Ka, and Chu. Some Pokémon, like Salamence and Flygon, make other noises, like roaring or growling. There have been instances of Pokémon being able to speak, most notably {{MTR}}, but most of them can only speak telepathically, like {{an|Mewtwo}}, {{an|Lucario}} or {{an|Shaymin}}. Pokémon in the games generally make animalistic noises, although when the player talks to a Pokémon in the overworld, it says its name, or sounds that imitate its cry.

Oftentimes, the name of a species can refer to an individual Pokémon of that species instead. For instance, "Bulbasaur is a {{type2|Grass}}" refers to the Bulbasaur species, but "Bulbasaur uses {{m|Vine Whip}}" refers to a single Bulbasaur.

Initially, when the [[Generation I]] games ([[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], and [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]]) were released, there were 151 species of Pokémon ({{p|Bulbasaur}} to {{p|Mew}}). This number grew to 251 with the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} of [[Generation II]] a few years later, adding an additional 100 species ({{p|Chikorita}} to {{p|Celebi}}). [[Generation III]] brought another 135 species ({{p|Treecko}} to {{p|Deoxys}}) to the Pokémon world with the release of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, bringing the total to 386. The most recent additions, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the beginning of [[Generation IV]] introduced 107 new species ({{p|Turtwig}} to {{p|Arceus}}), bringing the overall total to 493.

According to the ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'', biological taxonomies of cellular and genetic structure have revealed that Pokémon are all actually a single species of life form and that the individual differences between each creature are actually subspecies. The DNA of all Pokémon can be traced back to {{p|Mew}} (This can also explain why Pokémon can variously interbreed with each other.).

In the manga adaptation of [[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime]] it is shown that prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as ''majuu'' (魔獣, or "magical beasts").

Several games, especially the Red and Blue versions, have featured various hidden in-game [[Glitch Pokémon]], most notably [[Missingno.]] and [['M]]. There have also been glitches found that are unrelated to individual Pokémon, such as [[Glitch City]].

==Design themes==
The species of Pokémon for each [[generation]] are all designed in a similar fashion, though it is easily overlooked, especially to newcomers. The original 151 of [[Generation I]] were all very simple in appearance. At the time, the games were a very simple adventure and somewhat lacking in substance regarding the story. [[Generation II]] implemented much more creative features, emphasizing a more in-depth plot. Species in [[Generation III]] became more extravagant as the games took place in more exotic locations. Then there was [[Generation IV]]. Although not quite the same leap as before, the designs hold a dark elegance, symbolizing the themes of mysticism.

'''Top-Down Training!''' (Japanese: '''チャンピオン・シロナ登場！''' ''Enter Champion {{tt|Shirona|Cynthia}}!'') is the 40th episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 506th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on July 19, 2007 and in the United States on December 8, 2007.

[[Paul]] challenges the Champion of the Pokémon League, [[Cynthia]], to a battle.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
The episode starts off with a stadium filled with people. [[Lucian]] and [[Cynthia]] are battling with their Pokémon, {{TP|Lucian|Bronzong}} and {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}. Bronzong used its {{m|Flash Cannon}} on Garchomp which Garchomp was easily able to escape, coming out unscathed by blocking the attack with its fin.

{{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|friends}} were sitting in a [[Pokémon Center]], watching the {{pkmn|battle}} on television. Garchomp was able to use {{m|Giga Impact}}, knocking out Lucian's Bronzong. Ash was pumped as he watched the battle. He and the gang overheard someone say that Cynthia had shown up at a place called Amity Square.

The episode then switches to Cynthia and [[Team Rocket]]. Cynthia seemed indecisive about what kind of ice cream she wanted. She is later seen with a stone containing images of {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Dialga}}. This is when Ash and friends show up, adding more to the people surrounding Cynthia. All of sudden, [[Paul]] shows up.

Ash is seemingly excited about seeing Paul, saying that he's finally got two badges. After asking how many Paul has received, Paul replies with 'it's none of your business'. He then challenges Cynthia to a battle. Many people in the crowd are shocked when Cynthia agrees. Paul says that he wants a six-on-six match. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is watching the battle.

Cynthia calls out her Garchomp, while Paul chooses {{AP|Chimchar}}. Paul commands Chimchar to use {{m|Fire Spin}} and then {{m|Dig}}. Once hit with Fire Spin, Garchomp also used Dig under Cynthia's command. The dig collided with Chimchar, knocking it out.

Paul then uses {{TP|Paul|Weavile}} against Garchomp. He commands for his Weavile to use {{m|Blizzard}}, which seems to have no effect on Garchomp, despite being super-effective. Garchomp then uses {{m|Dragon Rush}}, which causes Weavile to freeze. Instead of trying to dodge, Paul tells Weavile to use {{m|Ice Beam}}. However, Garchomp was able to dodge the attack and slammed itself into Weavile, knocking it out cold.

Paul then sends out {{TP|Paul|Murkrow}}. Immediately, he tells Murkrow to use {{m|Haze}}, which Garchomp dodges. Murkrow flies behind Garchomp and Paul tells it to use {{m|Sky Attack}}. Cynthia counters with Giga Impact. After returning his fallen Murkrow, he sends out {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}.

He commands Torterra to use {{m|Giga Drain}}. Since Giga Impact left Garchomp unable to move, Giga Drain was able to hit. After Giga Drain, Torterra uses {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. Garchomp is able to block the attack with its fins. Cynthia then tells Garchomp to use {{m|Brick Break}}. Garchomp pushes the vines from Frenzy Plant away and jumps into the air, hitting Torterra with Brick Break on its head and knocking it out.

Paul then gives up the battle, to which the crowd responds by poking fun at him. Ash, with newfound respect, tells them to knock it off and compliments Paul. Paul says goodbye to Cynthia and walks away. Ash realizes that isn't where the Pokémon Center is, and Cynthia demands that Paul go to the Center to heal his Pokémon.

Unfortunately, when the got there, [[Nurse Joy]] claims that she needs to preform surgery on an injured Pokémon. Cynthia decides to heal Paul's Pokémon by herself, to which Brock says that he'd love to help out. {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} comes out of its [[Poké Ball]] to use {{m|Poison Jab}}, but stops once it sees Cynthia.

The episode switches to Cynthia treating Paul's Torterra. She moves over to Chimchar, giving it a pill. Chimchar falls asleep and the episode goes to Team Rocket, who are hiding outside the window. Team Rocket claims that they are going to steal Paul's Pokémon.

Cynthia then tells Paul that his Pokémon are all healed and well trained, especially his Torterra. This is where Paul reveals that Torterra was his very first Pokémon. He also says that he traveled around [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]], where he caught his Murkrow and Weavile, before coming back to Sinnoh, where he caught his Chimchar.

When Cynthia compliments Chimchar, Paul complains that Chimchar didn't do well against Garchomp. Ash then argues that he didn't care how many of Pokémon got hurt, to which Paul responds with 'your point?'. Ash asks why Paul doesn't care about his Pokémon. Paul claims that his Pokémon will then become spoiled and not try hard enough in battle, and Chimchar was the perfect example.

Ash becomes angrier, saying that he has to support his Pokémon. Upon Paul saying that he wants to become stronger, Cynthia took them back to the stone tablet she was at earlier in Amity Square. She reads the tablet to them. She claims that before reading this tablet, she used to train endlessly. Then she discovered that all Pokémon have different personalities and she wanted to get to know all of them.

Meanwhile, back at the Pokémon Center, Team Rocket hover over the still sleeping Chimchar. Before trying to steal all of Paul's Pokémon, Nurse Joy catches them. Team Rocket makes a run for it, just grabbing Chimchar. Outside the center, the gang is headed back and sees Team Rocket with Chimchar. They chase after Team Rocket, who try to make a get away in their balloon. Chimchar then wakes up, using {{m|Flamethrower}} on Team Rocket. Before Ash could react and call out {{AP|Staravia}}, Paul sends out his {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} and tells it to use {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Chimchar jumped away from Team Rocket right before the attack collided with them, sending them blasting off.

Chimchar fell to the ground, getting injured once more. However, Paul didn't care, calling Chimchar useless for being captured by Team Rocket. {{an|Dawn}} said that it wasn't Chimchar's fault, since Chimchar was sleeping. Cynthia was able to stop the yelling when she said the only thing that matters was that Chimchar is okay. She advised Paul to stay the night at the Center.

The episode switches to the Center. Ash and the others are watching Sinnoh Now. A newscast about ancient ruins in [[Celestic Town]] held the [[Lustrous Orb]], which is related to the legendary Pokémon Palkia. The Lustrous Orb is related to the [[Adamant Orb]], on display in [[Eterna City]]. The Lustrous Orb is said to increase the powers of Palkia.

Cynthia then decides it was time to head to Celestic Town, saying goodbye to our heroes.

== Trivia ==
* No [[Professor Oak]]'s Pokémon lecture was aired; instead, a promotion for ''[[The Rise of Darkrai|Dialga vs. Palkia vs. Darkrai]]'' aired.
* The tablet that Cynthia was reading before battling Paul had {{p|Unown}} on it. The inscription is the Japanese version of the inscription in [[Solaceon Ruins]]. The inscription is in {{wp|Rōmaji}}, and is as follows (note that some parts of the inscription do not match the standard {{wp|Hepburn romanization}} system):
<blockquote>FRIEND SUBETE NO INOCHI HA BETSU NO INOCHI TO DEAI NANIKA WO UMIDASU</blockquote> The translation which is recited by Cynthia in the dub is ''When every life meets another life, something will be born''; this is correct, although she omits the ''"Friend"'' at the beginning of the inscription.
* Music from ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' was used as background music.
* The music that plays in the background during the battle between Paul's Chimchar and Cynthia's Garchomp is the same music played in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} when the player faces Cynthia after defeating the [[Elite Four#Sinnoh Elite Four|Elite Four]].
* {{an|Dawn}} narrates the next episode preview.
* When the flame on Chimchar's tail goes out, Dawn and Ash seemed surprised. However, in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]'', when Ash scanned Chimchar with his [[PokéDex]], it said that the flame on Chimchar's tail goes out when it sleeps.
* This is one of the few episodes of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} where [[Dawn's Piplup]] does not appear.
=== Errors ===
[[Image:TopDownTrainingColorError.PNG|thumb|right|The error]]
* Right before [[Paul's Torterra|Torterra]] is hit by [[Cynthia's Garchomp|Garchomp's]] {{m|Brick Break}} and by the end of the episode, the top half of {{p|Torterra}}'s face was brown, instead of the normal green.
*Despite Paul asking for a full battle (6 on 6), Cynthia only defeated 4 in order to win the battle. The only logical explanation is that Paul forfeited after Torterra was defeated.

=== Dub edits ===
* The dub places the setting of the episode as [[Amity Square]], while the Japanese version just places it in a nature park that is unique to the anime.

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Ash is apparently based on the main character of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]], {{ga|Red}}. He shares his name with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His Japanese name can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智). His English last name is a pun on the original English Pokémon motto, "[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]".

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]].]]

Ash's main goal in life, as described in the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', is to be the world's greatest {{g|Master}}. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn and unskilled {{g|Trainer}}. He was forced to accept the irreverent {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]] as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when he showed his willingness to give up his own safety to keep Pikachu safe, he formed a strong bond of friendship with his Pokémon which would set his course for the future.

However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. He [[captured Pokémon|caught]] his [[Ash's Caterpie|first Pokémon]] by luck, knew nothing about {{g|battle|battling}}, and showed a reluctance to admit when he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming a victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]], who always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his seventh, with matters being further hampered when his {{AP|Charizard}}, his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him due to his inexperience until he had proven himself to the powerful Fire-type.

Ash's dedication to his goal paid off over time, and after earning his first eight badges, he competed in the [[Indigo League]], and advanced further in the rounds than Gary, making it to Round Five while Gary lost his fourth round. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skill, take on new challenges, and compete in more {{g|League}} competitions, triumphing in the [[Orange League]] and the [[Battle Frontier]].

Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at {{g|training}}, but his earnestness and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them and learning where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack, and defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] with his {{AP|Charizard}} by causing the field to overheat and have Charizard mount a close-range attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without making it evolve, and he is hesitant to let his Pokémon evolve to get stronger, as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''.

[[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|Ash in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}.]]
[[Image:Ash No Hat.PNG|right|frame|200px|Ash without {{AP|his hat|hat}}.]]
Additionally, during the first season of the series, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than his rival, Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon, as when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat.

In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of [[Brock]]. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

He has traversed much of the {{g|world}} and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.

[[Image:AshAura.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]].]]

Ash apparently has a close connection with [[Legendary Pokémon]], especially {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{an|Latias}} and {{an|Shaymin}}. In the English dub of the [[The Power of One|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses [[aura]] again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. However, these were one time deals, as Riolu had an unnaturally powerful aura.

He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash also carries around a broken [[Poké Ball]], of which the other half belongs to Gary and is a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry, as well as [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift, and also half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto.
 

===Family===
Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.

His father was never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer that began his journey in Pallet Town, but it is unclear whether he is still living. There has been much discussion in the fandom as to the identity of Ash's father, though the writers have chosen to not focus on this aspect of Ash's life. Common characters put forward by fans for the role are [[Giovanni]], [[Professor Oak]] and {{an|Silver}}. 

An interview with the series' storyboarder confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According the same storyboarder, Ash's father may or may not be introduced at the series, depending its necessity to Ash's further maturity and development as a Trainer.

Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.

===[[Pokémon]]===
As a Trainer, Ash has captured and befriended a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime's run. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship and hard work are needed to overcome the toughest of challenges. He seems to battle best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are speedy and maneuverable, yet able to preform high-powered attacks, but he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care. Ash tends to battle in a fairly unorthodox manner as well, and his Pokémon often reflect this.

==In the manga==
{{mangastub}}
The [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|manga version]] of Ash Ketchum is based on the anime version, but there are many differences after both versions took different directions. For example, while anime Ash is indifferent to romance or members of the opposite gender (or same gender, some may argue), manga Ash has a big crush on Gary's sister, [[May Oak]]. He's also prone to quickly falling in love like Brock, but to a much less extreme degree.

==Trivia==
===Pokémon===
* Ash has caught 50 different kinds of Pokémon, including evolutions and counting Larvitar, Seaking, Beedrill, Haunter, and Raticate, even though Larvitar and Haunter were not officially his, Beedrill was given away nearly immediately, and Seaking was released as part of contest rules. The original tagline for the dub was "[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]", but Ash has only caught 10.14% of the current number of Pokémon. This line was eventually dropped in 2003, when he only had 8.03% of the then total of 386.
* Ash has caught or received 64 different individual Pokémon, 30 of which are his Tauros.
*Ash is apparently an reincarnation of himself due to the fact that he died in episode 22.
* Ash's first choice of a starter was Squirtle. Later, it is revealed that Gary was the Pallet Town Trainer who chose Squirtle. Ash's second choice was Bulbasaur, while his third was Charmander.
* Ash has captured each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]]: Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, and Turtwig.
* Ash has captured one {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon from each series region that players can encounter early in different games: {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Taillow}}, and {{AP|Starly}}.
* In both the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for both regions. This trend was broken in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, where he only captured {{AP|Treecko}}, while the other two were {{OP|May|Torchic}} and {{OP|Brock|Mudkip}}.
* Ash has the most Pokémon that know moves that [[Anime move errors|they can't learn in the games]]: [[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie]] with {{m|Counter}} (although it apparently failed to use the move); {{AP|Charizard}} with {{m|Tackle}}; {{AP|Bulbasaur}} with {{m|Tickle}} (debatable), {{m|Dig}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}}; {{AP|Raticate}} with {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}; {{AP|Staravia}} with {{m|Gust}}; and {{AP|Larvitar}} with {{m|Harden}}.
* Ash has three turtle-like Pokémon: Squirtle, Torkoal and Grotle. Each corresponds to one of the three elemental types of the starter Pokémon, though Torkoal isn't a starter itself.
* Three of Ash's Pokémon were caught by him after first premiering in Pokémon movies: {{AP|Donphan}} (''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''), {{AP|Aipom}} (''[[Spell of the Unown]]''), and {{AP|Buizel}} (''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'').
* The last Pokémon that Ash has captured in every [[region]] are a part of [[:category:Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line|one-evolution families]], namely {{AP|Phanpy|Donphan}} in [[Johto]], {{AP|Snorunt|Glalie}} in [[Hoenn]], {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}} in [[Kanto]] and {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} in [[Sinnoh]]. If the [[Orange Archipelago]] is also included, {{AP|Snorlax}} also falls in this category.
** All of them, except Snorlax, were caught in their base forms and has eventually evolved to its final form.
* All together, Ash has seen at least twenty-seven different species of legendary Pokémon, and at least ten of them multiple times.

===Challenges/Gym related===
* So far, every time Ash becomes the champion of something, he then battles and gets defeated by {{Gary}} a few episodes later, before heading off to a new region. This has happened after his championing of the [[Orange League]] and the Kanto {{ho|Battle Frontier}}, which were both "filler seasons" before the start of even-numbered generations.
* In each region (except for the Orange Islands), Ash always loses against at least one of the [[Gym Leader]]s before challenging them to a rematch.
* So far, Ash always befriends someone shortly before the regional tournament. That person will beat Ash later on in the semifinals.
* During his adventures in Kanto, the Orange Islands, and Johto, Ash pinned his badges to the inside of his jacket. From Hoenn onwards, they have been kept in some form of case.
* The most badges Ash has ever gotten in the first thirty-five episodes were six badges in Kanto, which makes sense considering that Kanto was significantly shorter than any other saga (aside from the Orange Island saga and the Battle Frontier saga). In every other region thus far, he has only won two badges in the first thirty-five episodes.
* Discounting [[Koga]], who was a [[Gym Leader]] at the time of Ash's battle against him, Ash has so far battled three [[Elite Four]] members, namely [[Lorelei|Prima]], {{EF|Drake}} and [[Agatha]], losing to all three.
* The most number of episodes that Ash has gone without obtaining a [[badge]] was the 31-episode gap between ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'' and ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''.

===Pokémon in relation to others===
* Ash has owned four Pokémon that have also been owned by [[Gym Leaders]]. [[Falkner]] ({{AP|Pidgeot}}), [[Flannery]] ({{AP|Torkoal}}), [[Winona]] ({{AP|Swellow}}), and [[Gardenia]] ({{AP|Turtwig}}). Coincidentally, all of them either have bird or turtle-like Pokémon. Other Gym Leaders have owned Pokémon that happened to be either the evolved form or pre-evolved form of one of Ash's Pokémon. [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] ({{AP|Pikachu}}), [[Cissy]]'s {{p|Blastoise}} ({{AP|Squirtle}}), [[Falkner]]'s {{p|Hoothoot}} ({{AP|Noctowl}}), [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}} ({{AP|Butterfree}}), and [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}} ({{AP|Buizel}}).
** A related coincidence is that three of the four female Gym Leaders listed above own a turtle/tortoise-like Pokémon.
* All of Ash's primate-based Pokémon have been owned by two Trainers - [[Paul]] previously owned {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{ka|Anthony}} currently owns {{AP|Primeape}}, and Dawn currently owns Aipom which later evolved into {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}.
* Ash owns the most Pokémon that have evolved twice since they were obtained, with four. His first three have parallels with the three Pokémon that May owns that have evolved twice. For both Trainers, they are the final form {{type2|Fire}} starter from [[Kanto|their own region]] ({{AP|Charizard}}), the final form {{type2|Grass}} starter from the [[Hoenn|other region]] that appeared in [[Generation III]]'s handheld games ({{AP|Sceptile}}), and the first Pokémon that they caught from the wild, their region's native butterfly ({{AP|Butterfree}}). These correspond to May's {{TP|May|Blaziken}}, {{TP|May|Venusaur}}, and {{TP|May|Beautifly}}. The fourth is his {{AP|Staraptor}}.
* Ash has owned at least one Pokémon of each type except {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Psychic}}.
** All of these types are those of the [[pseudo-legendary|pseudo-legendaries]]. {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Salamence}} and {{p|Garchomp}} are all {{type2|Dragon}}s, {{p|Tyranitar}} a {{type2|Dark}} and {{p|Metagross}} is both {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Psychic}}. However, he did temporarily own a {{p|Spoink}}, which is a Psychic-type, for an event.
* Four of Ash's Pokémon have been introduced to moves by someone else: {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{AP|Swellow}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{m|Energy Ball}}, and {{AP|Staravia}} and {{m|Brave Bird}}. Of these, three are [[TM]] moves in the games.

===Miscellaneous===
* Though not as touched on anymore, a running gag in the English version of the series involved [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] making sure that Ash changed his underwear every single day.
* The only girl Ash has even shown a confirmed [[Shipping|interest]] is named [[Giselle]] whom appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.
[[Image:Ash maid.jpg|200px|thumb|Ash crossdressed for a third time.]]
* Ash has crossdressed once in each anime series: ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'' was the first time, in the [[original series]], ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' was the second, in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' was the third, in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Each time Ash has crossdressed, he was never willing to do so and was coerced or forced into it in some fashion.
** In addition to dressing as a girl, Ash has dressed up as fruit on at least two occasions. The first time, he dressed as an apple in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'' while the second he dressed as an eggplant in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]''. On both occasions he was used to lure a large Pokémon.
** Ash has also had to dress up on numerous occasions as Pokémon to help out the [[characters of the day]]. He has so far been a Mr. Mime in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', as an Octillery in ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' and as a Seviper in ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]''.
* Ash's {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} outfit looks much like {{ga|Lucas}}'s. The biggest difference between the two is the fact that Lucas wears a scarf, and that Ash retains the {{wp|baseball cap}} style for his hat, while Lucas's is a {{wp|flat cap}}.
* Ash has been mistaken to be the son of two women from [[Kanto]] and the [[Orange Islands]]. The first time was in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'' where he was mistaken for a boy named Arnold, while the second was in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'' when [[Luana]] mistook him for her son [[Travis]].
* The Family of {{wp|Ash Tree}}s, which are considered a possible name source for Ash, contain trees known as the Blue Ash, Green Ash, and the {{tt|Red|or Pumpkin}} Ash, matching the first three games released. Also of note is that the three are native to {{wp|North America}}.

'''Hitmonlee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サワムラー''' ''Sawamular'') is a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Tyrogue}} starting at [[level]] 20 when Tyrogue's {{stat|Attack}} is higher than its {{stat|Defense}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Hitmonlee is a brown colored, human-shaped Pokémon. He has three-fingered hands and three claw-like toes. Hitmonlee has segmented, cream-colored arms and legs. Hitmonlee has almond-shaped eyes with black rings around them and appears to lack a nose and mouth.
====Gender differences====
Hitmonlee is a male-only species with no female counterpart.

====Special abilities====
Hitmonlee knows several kick-based moves, including the rarely seen {{m|Blaze Kick}}. His leg muscles have the special ability to freely stretch and compress. Hitmonlee also has a few mental-based moves such as {{m|Meditate}} and {{m|Mind Reader}}. As with other {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon, Hitmonlee is capable of a few {{type2|Rock}} moves and {{m|Earthquake}}.

Hitmonlee is one of [[Signature move|very few Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, and is the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Mega Kick}} through [[level]]-up.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Hitmonlee are extremely rare in the wild. Usually, they live around large cities.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Hitmonlee anime.PNG|right|thumb|A Hitmonlee in the anime]]
Hitmonlee first appeared in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. [[Team Rocket]] stole him from a man named Giant in order to compete in the [[P1 Grand Prix]]. The Kicking Pokémon defeated [[Brock's Geodude]], and {{Ka|Anthony}}'s Hitmonchan (by cheating) and lost fair and square to [[Ash's Primeape]].

Another Hitmonlee appears in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'' as one of the [[Yas Gym]]'s Pokémon.

A Hitmonlee was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

[[Shiro]], a challenger to the dojo in ''[[EP166|Two Hits and a Miss]]'' uses a Hitmonlee.

A Hitmonlee had a brief appearence in [[H001|The Legend of Thunder]] battling {{Jo|Jimmy}}'s Typhlosion.

''[[EP173|Wobbu-palooza]]'' featured a Hitmonlee belonging to a [[Wobbuffet Festival crashers|Festival Crasher]].

One of the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]] in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]]'' has a Hitmonlee.

A Hitmonlee was used during the preliminaries of the Hoenn League by {{Ho|Gilbert}} in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]''. Gilbert's Hitmonlee lost to [[Ash's Pikachu]].

[[Master Hamm]] used a Hitmonlee against his son [[Kyle Hamm|Kyle]], a cook, in ''[[AG145|Pasta la Vista]]''. If the Dojo Master won, he would retire, and Kyle would have to give up his shop for the Dojo. If Kyle won, it would all stay the same. {{Ash}}, and {{an|May}} ended up taking the place of the two. As it was a draw, Kyle and his father decided to both work at the restaurant while Kyle's girlfriend [[Terri]] took up ownership of the Dojo.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Hitmonlee makes a cameo in ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'' as a mysterious Pokémon aboard the [[S.S. Anne]].

Hitmonlee later appears as one of [[Bruno]]'s Pokémon, who destroyed [[Bill]]'s house. Bruno explains that Hitmonlee's legs are so flexible, it's impossible to locate the position of its knees and attack them.

Hitmonlee was also seen as one of [[Chuck]]'s Pokémon. In the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff of {{PSV|13}}, it used {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Reversal}} to turn {{Special|Green}}'s tactics against him.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Hitmonlee will preform a {{m|Hi Jump Kick}} dealing a great amount of damage on whoever it hit. Hitmonlee did not return in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] and was replaced by {{p|Scizor}} who attacks in a similar way.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Project MoveDex logo.png|right|thumb|Hitmonlee on the Project MoveDex logo]]
* A Hitmonlee is featured in the logo for [[Bulbapedia]]'s {{bp|Project MoveDex}}, seen to the right.
* Shiny Hitmonlee's legs have changed from purple to staying gray compared to the normal sprite.
* Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are the only Pokémon that weren't previously related through an evolution family, then later gained a shared pre-evolution.
* Hitmonlee is able to use its legs to swim very well as seen in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.
* Despite its [[Pokémon Crystal]] Pokédex entry stating that it can execute every known kick, Hitmonlee can not learn {{m|Low Kick}} or {{m|Triple Kick}} without the use of a cheating device.
* Ironically, considering that this Pokémon is based on the use of its feet, all of its [[Generation II]] sprites depict it with [[Wiktionary:two left feet|two left feet]]. Also, its {{v2|Yellow}} sprite has a right foot in place of a left foot — its actual right foot is too indistinct to tell which foot it is.
* Hitmonlee is the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Mega Kick}} by leveling up.
* Ironically, {{wp|Taekwondo}}, the martial art that Hitmonlee seems to reference is mostly defensive, while Tyrogue evolves into Hitmonlee due to having a higher Attack stat. This is also present with Hitmonchan, as {{wp|Boxing}} is mostly offensive.
* In Generation I, Hitmonlee had 3 [[signature move]]s; {{m|Rolling Kick}}, {{m|Jump Kick}}, and {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}. In [[Generation III]], Hi Jump Kick became available to {{p|Meditite}} and {{p|Medicham}}, and in [[Generation IV]], Jump Kick became available to {{p|Buneary}} and {{p|Lopunny}}, leaving Hitmonlee with only 1 signature move; Rolling Kick. However, due to having 3 signature moves in Generation I, it tied the current record for signature moves, currently held by {{p|Porygon-Z}} and {{p|Vespiquen}}. While Rolling Kick also became available to {{p|Hitmontop}} in [[Generation II]], Hitmonlee and Hitmontop are in the same evolution family, which means it counts as a signature move for both of them.
* In {{game|Platinum}}, Hitmonlee is the one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Dex, and not introduced in [[Generation IV]] to have a new sprite. {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Primeape}} and {{p|Registeel}} are the others, although Registeel's sprite isn't completely new, as it is the same as its European {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} sprite.
===Origin===
It may be a personification of {{wp|Taekwondo}}, a martial art that focuses on kicking and strengthening legs. Hitmonlee bears resemblance to {{wp|Blemmyes}} due to his lack of an actual head.
====Name origin====
Hitmonlee's name can be broken down into ''hit'', ''monster'' and ''Lee'' - as in {{wp|Bruce Lee}}; perhaps meaning "the monster that hits like Bruce Lee". The name is also related to {{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}, both of which are parallel evolutions to it as of [[Generation II]]. Its Japanese name comes from the world's first kickboxer, {{wp|Tadashi Sawamura}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Kicklee - From ''kick'' and ''Lee'', as in Bruce.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Kicklee - From ''kick'' and ''Lee'', as in Bruce.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 시라소몬 ''Sirasomon''

====Gender differences====
Hitmonlee is a male-only species with no female counterpart.

====Special abilities====
Hitmonlee knows several kick-based moves, including the rarely seen {{m|Blaze Kick}}. His leg muscles have the special ability to freely stretch and compress.

As with other {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon, Hitmonlee is capable of a few {{type2|Rock}} moves and {{m|Earthquake}}.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Hitmonlee anime.PNG|right|thumb|A Hitmonlee in the anime]]
Hitmonlee first appeared in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. [[Team Rocket]] stole him from a man named Giant in order to compete in the [[P1 Grand Prix]]. The Kicking Pokémon defeated [[Brock's Geodude]], and {{Ka|Anthony}}'s Hitmonchan (by cheating) and lost fair and square to [[Ash's Primeape]].

Another Hitmonlee appears in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'' as one of the [[Yas Gym]]'s Pokémon.

A Hitmonlee was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

[[Shiro]], a challenger to the dojo in ''[[EP166|Two Hits and a Miss]]'' uses a Hitmonlee.

A Hitmonlee had a brief appearence in [[H001|The Legend of Thunder]] battling {{Ho|Jimmy}}'s Typhlosion.

''[[EP173|Wobbu-palooza]]'' featured a Hitmonlee belonging to a [[Wobbuffet Festival crashers|Festival Crasher]].

One of the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]] in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]]'' has a Hitmonlee.

A Hitmonlee was used during the preliminaries of the Hoenn League by {{Ho|Gilbert}} in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]''. Gilbert's Hitmonlee lost to [[Ash's Pikachu]].

[[Master Hamm]] used a Hitmonlee against his son [[Kyle Hamm|Kyle]], a cook, in ''[[AG145|Pasta la Vista]]''. If the Dojo Master won, he would retire, and Kyle would have to give up his shop for the Dojo. If Kyle won, it would all stay the same. {{Ash}}, and {{an|May}} ended up taking the place of the two. As it was a draw, Kyle and his father decided to both work at the restaurant while Kyle's girlfriend [[Terri]] took up ownership of the Dojo.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Hitmonlee makes a cameo in ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'' as a mysterious Pokémon aboard the [[S.S. Anne]].

Hitmonlee later appears as one of [[Bruno]]'s Pokémon, who destroyed [[Bill]]'s house. Bruno explains that Hitmonlee's legs are so flexible, it's impossible to locate the position of its knees and attack them.

Hitmonlee was also seen as one of [[Chuck]]'s Pokémon. In the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff of {{PSV|13}}, it used {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Reversal}} to turn {{Special|Green}}'s tactics against him.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Hitmonlee will preform a {{m|Hi Jump Kick}} dealing a great amount of damage on whoever it hit. Hitmonlee did not return in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] and was replaced by {{p|Scizor}} who attacks in a similar way.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Project MoveDex logo.png|right|thumb|Hitmonlee on the Project MoveDex logo]]
* A Hitmonlee is featured in the logo for [[Bulbapedia]]'s {{bp|Project MoveDex}}, seen to the right.
* Shiny Hitmonlee's legs have changed from purple to staying gray compared to the normal sprite.
* Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are the only Pokémon that weren't previously related through an evolution family, then later gained a shared pre-evolution.
* Hitmonlee is able to use its legs to swim very well as seen in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.
* Despite its [[Pokémon Crystal]] Pokédex entry stating that it can execute every known kick, Hitmonlee can not learn {{m|Low Kick}} or {{m|Triple Kick}} without the use of a cheating device.
* Ironically, considering that this Pokémon is based on the use of its feet, all of its [[Generation II]] sprites depict it with [[Wiktionary:two left feet|two left feet]]. Also, its {{v2|Yellow}} sprite has a right foot in place of a left foot — its actual right foot is too indistinct to tell which foot it is.
* Hitmonlee is the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Mega Kick}} by leveling up.
* Ironically, {{wp|Taekwondo}}, the martial art that Hitmonlee seems to reference is mostly defensive, while Tyrogue evolves into Hitmonlee due to having a higher Attack stat. This is also present with Hitmonchan, as {{wp|Boxing}} is mostly offensive.
* In Generation I, Hitmonlee had 3 [[signature move]]s; {{m|Rolling Kick}}, {{m|Jump Kick}}, and {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}. In [[Generation III]], Hi Jump Kick became available to {{p|Meditite}} and {{p|Medicham}}, and in [[Generation IV]], Jump Kick became available to {{p|Buneary}} and {{p|Lopunny}}, leaving Hitmonlee with only 1 signature move; Rolling Kick. However, due to having 3 signature moves in Generation I, it tied the current record for signature moves, currently held by {{p|Porygon-Z}} and {{p|Vespiquen}}. While Rolling Kick also became available to {{p|Hitmontop}} in [[Generation II]], Hitmonlee and Hitmontop are in the same evolution family, which means it counts as a signature move for both of them.
* In {{game|Platinum}}, Hitmonlee is the one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Dex, and not introduced in [[Generation IV]] to have a new sprite. {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Primeape}} and {{p|Registeel}} are the others, although Registeel's sprite isn't completely new, as it is the same as its European {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} sprite.
===Origin===
It may be a personification of {{wp|Taekwondo}}, a martial art that focuses on kicking and strengthening legs. Hitmonlee bears resemblance to {{wp|Blemmyes}} due to his lack of an actual head.
====Name origin====
Hitmonlee's name can be broken down into ''hit'', ''monster'' and ''Lee'' - as in {{wp|Bruce Lee}}; perhaps meaning "the monster that hits like Bruce Lee". The name is also related to {{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}, both of which are parallel evolutions to it as of [[Generation II]]. Its Japanese name comes from the world's first kickboxer, {{wp|Tadashi Sawamura}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Kicklee - From ''kick'' and ''Lee'', as in Bruce.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Kicklee - From ''kick'' and ''Lee'', as in Bruce.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 시라소몬 ''Sirasomon''

'''Mewtwo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

It is one of the most famous legendary Pokémon, being the subject of two Pokémon {{pkmn|movie}}s, and starring as a fighter in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]].

==Biology==
Mewtwo is one of the first Pokémon created by science. The scientists who created it dreamed of making the strongest Pokémon ever.

===Physiology===
Mewtwo is a creature with a humanoid posture. Mewtwo's body is grayish-purple with a purple underside and a long, purple tail. Mewtwo has three digits on each appendage. It has purple eyes and two short ears.

One of the most notable features of Mewtwo is the tube extending from the back of its skull to its spine. It is not exactly a neck, as it obviously provides no support to the head, however, it still is most likely a secondary spinal cord, or a system of nerves, allowing for an increased amount of blood and sensory transmission to the brain, heightening its psychic powers.

However, it seems to be a bit cat-like, since it is a clone of {{p|Mew}}, who is also cat-like.

====Gender differences====
This Pokémon is genderless and it is the only one of its kind, but it looks somewhat more masculine. In the movies, it also has a male telepathic voice.

====Special abilities====
Mewtwo is highly skilled with {{t|Psychic}} powers. It can fly through use of telekinesis, speak telepathically, and take control of another living thing's mind. Mewtwo is also capable of wielding various types of attack (but at a slightly lesser extent than {{p|Mew}}).

In the [[Pokémon Special]] manga, Mewtwo fights with a highly skilled combination of {{m|Psywave}} for long range moves, and a giant spoon for close range battles.

Mewtwo also has the ability to telekinetically create massive hurricanes powerful enough to destroy the planet.

===Behavior===
Mewtwo is very aggressive and thinks of nothing but battling and defeating its foes. The reason for this might be somehow connected to the repeated recombining of its DNA or the loss of his/its best friend Amber.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Mewtwo, being a cloned Pokémon, has no ''natural'' habitat. However, during [[Generation I]]/[[Generation III]] it makes its hideout in [[Cerulean Cave]]'s basement. Also, in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Mewtwo has been seen roaming a large city under the cover of night.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the games==

Acording to the scientific logs found in the [[Pokémon Mansion]] of [[Cinnabar Island]], Mewtwo was born of a pregnant {{p|Mew}} whose embryo had been tampered with and its DNA had been repetitivey spliced. It was held and studied in the mansion where the scientists, including [[Blaine]] and [[Mr. Fuji|Dr. Fuji]] (now known as Mr. Fuji), performed horrific gene-splicing experiments that made it vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free of the Mansion (destroying it in the process) and fled to [[Cerulean Cave|the Unknown Dungeon.]] There, the player may capture it after beating the [[Elite Four]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Mewtwoanime.jpg|thumb|right|Mewtwo on a rooftop]]
{{main|Mewtwo (anime)}}

While {{an|Mewtwo}} has been the Pokémon of focus of two {{pkmn|movie}}s, it also made brief appearances in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Poké-Corral]]'' in its body armor. The first instance was when [[Giovanni]] used it to battle {{Gary}}'s {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}} and {{TP|Gary|Nidoking}}. The second time was when Mewtwo totaled Giovanni's headquarters and flew off. While a scene involving Mewtwo and Giovanni did appear in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', it wasn't in the movie.

A [[Mirage Pokémon|Mirage]] Mewtwo appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' and is the most powerful Pokémon controlled by the [[Mirage Master]].

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]] Mewtwo has a similar origin and personality to the Mewtwo that appeared in the anime. It is a genetically engineered created by [[Blaine]] for Team Rocket by splicing Mew's DNA with his own. Blaine later defected from Team Rocket and hid himself away, as both he and Mewtwo were suffering from an illness caused by a shared psychic link due to their mutual DNA. Mewtwo went on a rampage and hid itself in the Cerulean Cave, but {{Special|Red}} was able to capture him with a Master Ball and return him to Blaine so he could attempt to find a cure for their illness. Blaine and Mewtwo fought against [[Lance]] but were defeated when their condition weakened them. The pair were later cured by the flames of an {{p|Entei}} Blaine befriended and Mewtwo left on his own, returning when he learned of Giovanni's plans to use {{p|Deoxys}} for nefarious purposes. Mewtwo joined up with Red to attempt to defeat Deoxys and Giovanni.

[[Pokémon Get da ze!]] portrays [[Shuu]]'s father as having been the creator of Mewtwo after a failed five year search for the elusive Mew.

During the final volume of [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], [[Hazel]] goes to a forest in another dimension to find Mew so it can grant her a wish, and gets trapped by Mewtwo.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[Image:Mewtwo Melee.jpg|thumb|right|Mewtwo in SSBM]]
Mewtwo is a playable character and is unlocked after a lot of playing in VS. Mode; either after 700 matches or 20 hours of combined play. The time taken is reduced by the number of human players, so Mewtwo can be unlocked after just five hours if four players are playing for the whole time.

Ironically for its legendary status, Mewtwo is considered to be the poorest character when played at the highest metagame. It is easy to knock off the stage due to its large body and light weight. In addition, Mewtwo is slow, does not have any fast defensive options and also has general problems with some of its other moves. This all leads to Mewtwo's position at the bottom of the bottom tier, below even {{p|Pichu}}.

====Trophy information====
=====Classic Mode=====
A genetically created Pokémon, Mewtwo is the result of many long years of research by a solitary scientist. Although Mewtwo was born from the genes of the legendary Pokémon Mew, its size and character are far different than its ancestor. Its battle abilities have been radically heightened, making it ruthless.

=====Adventure Mode=====
As Mewtwo relies mostly on its powerful brain, there are times when it scarcely uses its arms and legs. Since Mewtwo spends much of its time floating, it flies far when struck. {{m|Shadow Ball}} traces a jagged path once released: the longer Mewtwo holds it, the more powerful it becomes. Mewtwo uses {{M|Confusion}} to spin its foes around.

=====All-Star Mode=====
Mewtwo is definitely not a speedy character, but its ESP-powered grab and throw moves are comparatively strong. {{m|Teleport}} has a short range, but doesn't leave it open to attack. It's best used as an escape move during disturbances. Mewtwo can daze a foe if it makes eye contact and uses {{m|Disable}}; the move is useless unless Mewtwo is facing its enemy.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Mewtwo was cut from the sequel's roster - effectively being replaced by {{p|Lucario}}. However, internal data features data for seven characters not in the roster; Mewtwo included. It is currently unknown if it will be possible to utilize this data in any way but this does show that Mewtwo was seriously considered for the game as there is the picture for ending classic mode of Mewtwo, and Mewtwo's voice was also found on the disc, but there is a chance that the data for Mewtwo is merely recycled from Melee. Mewtwo does appear as a random collectible trophy, however.

==Merchandise==
Mewtwo was one of the first four Pokémon designs revealed when the [[Pokémon 151]] brand was first announced. In the shirt design, two Mewtwo are holding a 150 Crest with a DNA Strand as its Header. On top of it is a crown with a Poké Ball as its Jewel.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*{{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}: Mewtwo is the player's final opponent.
*[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: {{ga|Silver}} uses a Mewtwo in the final battle.

==Trivia==
* Due to the {{type2|Psychic}} being off-balance with the fourteen other types in [[Generation I]], and combined with its high base stats (never surpassed until [[Generation IV]] introduced {{p|Arceus}}), Mewtwo was long regarded as the most powerful of all Pokémon.
* Mewtwo has the second highest Special Attack in the game, surpassed only by the attack form of {{p|Deoxys}}. This makes it the Pokémon with the highest Special Attack if event Pokémon are not counted.
* While it is supposed to be a clone of Mew, it precedes Mew in the National Dex, being number 150, while Mew is number 151. Also, while Mewtwo is needed to complete one's Pokédex, Mew isn't. Also, Mewtwo can't learn every TM.
** In [[Pokémon Special]], shortly after Mewtwo was revealed, ironically, (although none knew what it was) [[Red (Special)|Red]] mentioned there being 150 Pokémon, not knowing about Mew. After this, [[Blue (Special)|Blue]] contradicted Red, saying there were 151, and most [[Pokémon Breeder]]s' goals included finding Mew, to whom they referred to as #151, Mew. However, none of these people knew about #150, as it was secretly being created when this was pointed out, so only [[Team Rocket]], Red, and Blue knew about Mewtwo.
* Some of Mewtwo's sprites and images are seen with it having three segments while other sprites and images are seen of its with only two segments.
* Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English dub, as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].
* In the games, Mew was said to have given live birth to Mewtwo during Generation I. Pokémon were shown to hatch from {{pkmn|egg}}s, however, in the following generation. The statement about Mew giving birth remains in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], one of Mewtwo's alternate costumes makes it appear similar to its [[alternate coloration]].
*In the games, its birthday is February 6, as stated in a journal quote from the [[Pokémon Mansion]].
*In [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], Mewtwo's Standard Special attack, {{m|Shadow Ball}} is able to hit {{p|Jigglypuff}}, a {{type2|Normal}}, which it would not normally be able to do. This is not usually considered a true representation of the move, as in other games of that series, moves that are usually super-effective against a type do not apply, e.g. in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] {{p|Charizard}}'s Flamethrower does not deal massive amounts of damage to {{p|Lucario}} or {{p|Ivysaur}}, and similarly does not deal very low damage to {{p|Squirtle}}.
*Although Mewtwo's signature move in Super Smash Bro. Brawl is Shadow Ball, it dosen't learn Shadow Ball by level up.

===Origin===
Mewtwo is the result of humankind's attempts at creating a genetically enhanced clone of a Pokémon.

Its nature and origin are similar to elements of {{wp|Mary Shelly}}'s ''{{wp|Frankenstein}}'', in which a life-form created through unnatural means turns on its creators. Like Mew, Mewtwo has some {{wp|feline}} characteristics. Its body structure is much larger as a result of gene-splicing.

====Name origin====
Mewtwo's name is a combination of ''{{p|Mew}}'', referring to the Pokémon on which it was based, and ''two'', indicating that it is a clone of Mew. It also sounds somewhat phonetically similar to the English word ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (myūtanto).

==In the anime==
[[Image:LittleBigHorn.jpg|thumb|left|A Stantler in the anime.]]
In ''[[EP125|The Little Big Horn]]'', [[Brock]] helped a baby Stantler reunite with its herd. A little while before that, Stantler created an illusion of a stampeding herd of Stantler in self defense, but it was later seen through by Brock.

In ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'', Ash got lost in a forest that contained many Stantler with his {{AP|Turtwig}}. Some of the Stantler used {{m|Hypnosis}} on the two, giving them various hallucinations. [[Paul]] captured one of the Stantler but released it after deciding that it wasn't worthy for his team.

==Trivia==
*In some [[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori]] artwork of Stantler, it is depicted with a white tail. However only in its [[generation III|third generation]] sprites it has the white tail, which would be later dropped in [[Generation IV]].
*Though Stantler is based on a {{wp|reindeer}}, it is not an {{type2|Ice}} nor can it learn Ice-type moves apart from {{m|Hidden Power}} Ice.
*Stantler's {{shiny2}} form has a red nose which some compare to {{wp|Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer}}.
*Although Stantler is known for their power of hypnosis, it isn't a Psychic or Ghost-type.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on a {{wp|reindeer}}, since both the males and females have antlers.
====Name origin====
Stantler's name may be combination of ''{{wp|deer|stag}}'' and ''antler''. Its Japanese name probably comes from 鹿威し ''shishiodoshi'', which is a Japanese device traditionally used to scare deer and birds away from gardens.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Damhirplex - From ''Damhirsch'' ({{wp|fallow deer}}) and ''perplex'' (astonished).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cerfrousse - From ''cerf'' (deer) and ''frousse'' (fright).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 노라키 ''Noraki''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 驚角鹿

Animation physics

2008-12-14T18:08:17Z

Masterdude: /* Examples */

'''Anime physics''' is a [[fanon]] term used to describe all the unusual, impossible, and sometimes absurd moments in the {{pkmn|anime}} where real-world physics do not seem to apply. At times, the term can also be used to describe when an [[move|attack]] works differently in the anime than it would in the [[Pokémon games|games]]. Some common examples are unusual feats of strength and agility, surviving lethal attacks, and {{wp|hammerspace}}.

Anime physics are often caused by several factors. The anime is generally more focused on telling a story in one or several episodes than getting the details right, so sometimes the writers will twist or bend physics so the episode can unfold the way they want it so. Sometimes it is a case of oversight; anime physics do not seem unusual unless someone stops to think about how a situation would work in the real world.

==Examples==
* Everything explodes in the anime. Most attacks explode when they connect with an opposing attack, even if the attacks would not normally do so. (even, and some would say especially, non-flammable substances such as leaves or water).
* Ash and his friends seem to have an unlimited amount of space in their bags, especially Brock, from a sleeping bag to the things he uses to cook.
* Very often, Pokémon will be affected by moves they would be immune to, due to their type, according to the games. The is shown a lot when [[Ash's Pikachu]] fights a {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon, it uses an {{type2|Electric}} move and it works well.
** {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}'s electric attacks fluctuate between being able to affect {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon (such as [[EP005|Brock's Onix]] and [[AG016|Roxanne's Geodude]]) and having no effect at all (such as [[Spell of the Unown|Lisa's Quagsire]], [[AG096|Rocky's Quagsire]] and [[The Rise of Darkrai|Maurice's Torterra]]). The anime's explanation for this is that ever since [[EP005|Pikachu received a power up]], it has enough power to override the immunity. However, no matter how much power it has, it shouldn't be able to affect ground types.
* Another example is when [[May's Squirtle]] attacked [[Harley's Banette]] with {{m|Tackle}} in ''[[AG173|New Plot, Odd Lot]]'', despite the {{type2|Ghost}}'s immunity to {{type2|Normal}} attacks.
* Many Pokémon know [[anime move errors|moves they cannot learn in the games]].
* {{Ash}} was able to pick up {{TP|Ash|Larvitar}} despite it weighing more than [[List of Pokémon by weight|150 lbs (70 kg)]], according to game data. {{p|Hippopotas}} is also similar, due to the fact that it can rest on top of Ash's head without crushing him under 109 lbs (49 kg) of weight.
* Pokémon surviving [[one hit KO]] attacks, like {{m|Horn Drill}}, without fainting.
* In ''[[AG147|Sweet Baby James]]'', when Jessie picks up [[May's Munchlax]] and puts it in a bag, despite it weighing over 220 lbs (100kg). On another note of this, in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', [[Max]] was able to carry it on his back despite being less than a quarter of the weight that Munchlax is.
* Many Pokémon are able to dodge moves that are sure to hit, such as when [[Ash's Squirtle]] was able to dodge an {{m|Aerial Ace}} from [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon's]] {{p|Ninjask}}. In the games, Aerial Ace never misses. Another example is in ''[[AG185|Duels of the Jungle]]'' when a Weavile dodges [[Ash's Aipom]]'s {{m|Swift}}.
* [[Ash's Turtwig]] was hurt by [[Gardenia's Turtwig]]'s {{m|Leech Seed}}. However, in the games, {{type2|Grass}}s can't be hit by this move.
* {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}} appears to receive a power-down at the beginning of every saga, meaning it appears to have just as much skill as the new beginners on {{Ash}}'s team despite being shown to be very powerful in some of the matches towards the end of each saga. This is most evident during the changeover from the {{series2|Advanced Generation}} saga to the {{series2|Diamond and Pearl}} saga, when Pikachu is [[AG190|able to defeat]] Brandon's {{p|Regice}} single-handedly in a single hit, however just [[DP003|five episodes later]] Pikachu was unable to defeat {{TP|Paul|Elekid}}.

An additional use of anime physics is for humorous purposes; it is common in animated media to have characters do things that would cause harm to or be impossible for a live actor for the sake of entertainment.

==Examples==

*{{TP|Ash|Pikachu}} often shocks people (mostly {{Ash}} himself and members of [[Team Rocket]]) to the point where they appear scorched or blackened by the electrocution, yet soon afterward (often as soon as the next scene), they appear perfectly normal, without any lasting damage.
* In almost every episode, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} manage to get launched hundreds of feet into the air by various means (usually a Pokémon attack). However, others standing near them will not be moved or even affected, and Team Rocket never gets seriously hurt from the flight, which would surely kill a normal person.
* The capacity of [[Brock]]'s bag sometimes takes on impossible proportions, such as in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'' when he managed to pull a full tablet and entire tea set out of it.

'''Cyrus''' (Japanese: '''アカギ''' ''Akagi'') is [[Team Galactic]]'s leader.

Cyrus disregards all emotions, thinking of them as products of a weak human heart. His goal is to remake the {{pkmn|universe}} in his own image, with himself as the god. He was born and raised in [[Sunyshore City]], as noted in {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}} by an elderly couple residing there. When Cyrus was young, he was a very good student; however, he was antisocial, preferring the company of robots and machines over humans.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Cyrus anime.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Cyrus in the anime]]
He made his first appearance in [[DP096]] and [[DP097]], along with [[Mars]], [[Jupiter]] and [[Saturn]]. In this, he poses as an interested businessman while the remaining members of [[Team Galactic]] carry out a plan to steal the [[Lustrous Orb]] and the [[Adamant Orb]] from the [[Celestic Town]] museum.

He discovers from {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} that they have seen {{p|Azelf}} and {{p|Mesprit}} when the two tell of their encounters with the mysterious Pokémon at [[Lake Verity]] and [[Lake Valor]]. This apparently intrigues him, indicating that he will have future, possibly not as friendly, encounters with the group.

His Japanese voice actor is 三宅健太 ''[[Kenta Miyake]]''.
 

==In the games==
==={{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}===
The player first meets him in [[Mt. Coronet]], but he does not battle, nor give his name. Later on, the two men guarding [[Lake Valor]] will mention his name in passing, though Cyrus himself is not identified until he introduces himself after the {{player}} defeats a [[Galactic Grunt]] and investigates the ruins in [[Celestic Town]].

Upon being defeated at Mt. Coronet, Cyrus claims he will have revenge and disappears. His assets and duties are left to [[Saturn]].

====Quotes====
=====Mt. Coronet=====
''According to one theory, Mt. Coronet is where the Sinnoh region began. In a newly created world... A world where only time flowed and space expanded.. There should have been no strife. But what became of that world? Because the human spirit is weak and incomplete, strife has appeared... This world is being ruined by it...I find the state of things to be deplorable...''
=====Celestic Town=====
''There appears to have been an insignificant struggle here. Everyone should step back and view things from a bigger perspective. Yes, a bigger perspective, one that is on a universal scale. My name is Cyrus. I seek the power to create a new world, a world without strife. However that power seems to be unavailable here... We've met before, yes? It was at Mt. Coronet. If you discover any power derived from the legends of Sinnoh, inform me. For that power is what I need to create my new world.
=====Team Galactic HQ=====
*Before battle:
''I see. You must be the Trainer I've been hearing about. The foolhardy one that's trying to stand up to Team Galactic. Although I'd hardly expected to see that the Trainer is a mere child. I'd heard that our Commanders had a rough time with you... I know why you're here, I can sense it in you. It's about {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, correct? You want to save them... I no longer have any need for them. I am finished with them. If your heart aches to save them, go right ahead, I could care less. It will save me the trouble of disposing of them.''

''But I must say... You are a remarkable specimen. Those Pokémon have nothing to do with you, do they not? But still you came to rescue them out of pity? Such pitifully useless emotions... It's illogical and irrational. Pity and compassion are products of the weak and lacking human heart. You were compelled to come here by vacuous sentimentality! I will make you regret paying heed to your heart!''
*After sending out last Pokémon:
''My last Pokémon.''

*During battle:
''I see... I may lose if this pace continues...''

*When defeated:
''Interesting and quite curious.''

*After battle:
''I see. You are indeed strong. And the basis of your power is your compassion toward Pokémon. How wasteful... Such emotions are but mere illusions. And, like all illusions, they fade over time until death banishes them forever. That is why I have abandoned all emotions as useless sentimentality. But that doesn't matter. I doubt you will ever understand my position. That said, I recognise that you are strong and courageous to come alone. This is your reward.''

''The Master Ball is the ultimate Poké Ball. It will unfailingly catch any Pokémon in the wild. But it is not anything that I require. Unlike you Trainers, I do not make Pokémon my friends or partners. Unlike other Team Galactic members, I don't use Pokémon as tools. Instead, I make the power of Pokémon my own. If you wish to save the Pokémon from the lakes, take the warp panel ahead. I am off to Mt. Coronet. That's correct. Mt. Coronet. Where you and I first met. I will ascend the mountain to its peak and put an end to everything... No. I will bring about a new beginning for everything...''

=====Spear Pillar=====
''Now all will end. And everything will begin. With this [[Red Chain]] I will pry open the portal to another dimension. I command that you unleash all your power for me... {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}} the mythical Pokémon and the master of time/space. This will bring about the destruction of all thing.With everything gone, there will be no fighting and no strife. Can you feel time/space distorting? Only I can choose to stop it. This is the mythical Pokémon that created Sinnoh! Dialga/Palkia the ancient deity of time/space! This world cannot be molded into the ultimate world I seek! It's far easier to create an entirely new world than to change this one! A new world in which I am the ruler of all things! I shall become a deity!''

''Oh! Dialga/Palkia... This is... Fantastic! Beautiful! It's the creating of a new galaxy! My new world! ... Wh-what?!''

*Before battle:
''The Red Chain! It crumbled away to nothing?! But why? Why would {{p|Mesprit}}, the Pokémon of Lake Verity, appear by your side? But never mind that! It's all destroyed! My galaxy is gone! I won't allow this... I will capture those three again and craft another Red Chain! But before I even think about that, I'm going to completely crush you!

*After sending out last Pokémon:
''I admit that you have pushed me to this extreme.''

*During battle:
''This... this cannot be! It's not possible that I lose!''

*When defeated:
''I won't admit this! The power spoken of in mythology... I didn't just make it obey me, I made it my own!''

*After battle:
''What is truly ultimate to you? What do you consider perfection? The most important thing... What shines the brightest... Telling you is meaningless. But I will not give up. I will become a deity one day... And I will make the ultimate mine...'''

==Trivia==
* His Japanese name, {{wp|Akagi}}, is a common surname in Japan, which may indicate that, like [[Giovanni]], his name in Japan is merely his last name, leaving his first unknown. "Akagi" also means "red castle", "red tree", or "red future", the last of which may reference the many deaths that would have taken place if his scheme had come to fruition. It may also refer to the "red chain" which Cyrus needs to summon the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}, at the [[Spear Pillar]]
**It could also be in reference to Planet X, also known as the Red Planet, Nibiru, Wormwood, Quetzalcoatl, and many more names. It is an apocalyptic conspiracy, but there are many different theories about what exactly it is.
* Incidentally, there is a volcano called Akagi in the real-world [[wp:Kantō region|Kanto region]] of Japan.
* An old couple in [[Sunyshore City]] mentions that Cyrus was born and raised there. It also happens that [[Team Galactic]] has never attacked the city, perhaps because the leader, Cyrus himself, still has childhood memories of it.
* Until [[Pluto]]'s introduction, Cyrus was the only one of the four major characters of Team Galactic that does not share a name with a planet. {{wp|Pluto}}, however is a dwarf planet, but Pluto was formerly considered a planet before 2006.
* Cyrus is the first leader of a [[villainous teams|villanous team]] to appear in the opening of a {{game3|Platinum|game}}.
* Cyrus has, in a way, more of a role in {{v2|Platinum}}. He appears at [[Lake Verity]] at the start of the game and at other points in the game and is now battled for the first time in [[Celestic Town]].
* Although there are only three red gems visible on each of {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, Cyrus will recreate the Red Chain as many times as the player loses to him.

'''Cyrus''' (Japanese: '''アカギ''' ''Akagi'') is [[Team Galactic]]'s leader.

Cyrus disregards all emotions, thinking of them as products of a weak human heart. His goal is to remake the {{pkmn|universe}} in his own image, with himself as the god. He was born and raised in [[Sunyshore City]], as noted in {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}} by an elderly couple residing there. When Cyrus was young, he was a very good student; however, he was antisocial, preferring the company of robots and machines over humans.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Cyrus anime.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Cyrus in the anime]]
He made his first appearance in [[DP096]] and [[DP097]], along with [[Mars]], [[Jupiter]] and [[Saturn]]. In this, he poses as an interested businessman while the remaining members of [[Team Galactic]] carry out a plan to steal the [[Lustrous Orb]] and the [[Adamant Orb]] from the [[Celestic Town]] museum.

He discovers from {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} that they have seen {{p|Azelf}} and {{p|Mesprit}} when the two tell of their encounters with the mysterious Pokémon at [[Lake Verity]] and [[Lake Valor]]. This apparently intrigues him, indicating that he will have future, possibly not as friendly, encounters with the group.

His Japanese voice actor is 三宅健太 ''[[Kenta Miyake]]''.
 

==In the games==
==={{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}===
The player first meets him in [[Mt. Coronet]], but he does not battle, nor give his name. Later on, the two men guarding [[Lake Valor]] will mention his name in passing, though Cyrus himself is not identified until he introduces himself after the {{player}} defeats a [[Galactic Grunt]] and investigates the ruins in [[Celestic Town]].

Upon being defeated at Mt. Coronet, Cyrus claims he will have revenge and disappears. His assets and duties are left to [[Saturn]].

====Quotes====
=====Mt. Coronet=====
''According to one theory, Mt. Coronet is where the Sinnoh region began. In a newly created world... A world where only time flowed and space expanded.. There should have been no strife. But what became of that world? Because the human spirit is weak and incomplete, strife has appeared... This world is being ruined by it...I find the state of things to be deplorable...''
=====Celestic Town=====
''There appears to have been an insignificant struggle here. Everyone should step back and view things from a bigger perspective. Yes, a bigger perspective, one that is on a universal scale. My name is Cyrus. I seek the power to create a new world, a world without strife. However that power seems to be unavailable here... We've met before, yes? It was at Mt. Coronet. If you discover any power derived from the legends of Sinnoh, inform me. For that power is what I need to create my new world.
=====Team Galactic HQ=====
*Before battle:
''I see. You must be the Trainer I've been hearing about. The foolhardy one that's trying to stand up to Team Galactic. Although I'd hardly expected to see that the Trainer is a mere child. I'd heard that our Commanders had a rough time with you... I know why you're here, I can sense it in you. It's about {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, correct? You want to save them... I no longer have any need for them. I am finished with them. If your heart aches to save them, go right ahead, I could care less. It will save me the trouble of disposing of them.''

''But I must say... You are a remarkable specimen. Those Pokémon have nothing to do with you, do they not? But still you came to rescue them out of pity? Such pitifully useless emotions... It's illogical and irrational. Pity and compassion are products of the weak and lacking human heart. You were compelled to come here by vacuous sentimentality! I will make you regret paying heed to your heart!''
*After sending out last Pokémon:
''My last Pokémon.''

*During battle:
''I see... I may lose if this pace continues...''

*When defeated:
''Interesting and quite curious.''

*After battle:
''I see. You are indeed strong. And the basis of your power is your compassion toward Pokémon. How wasteful... Such emotions are but mere illusions. And, like all illusions, they fade over time until death banishes them forever. That is why I have abandoned all emotions as useless sentimentality. But that doesn't matter. I doubt you will ever understand my position. That said, I recognise that you are strong and courageous to come alone. This is your reward.''

''The Master Ball is the ultimate Poké Ball. It will unfailingly catch any Pokémon in the wild. But it is not anything that I require. Unlike you Trainers, I do not make Pokémon my friends or partners. Unlike other Team Galactic members, I don't use Pokémon as tools. Instead, I make the power of Pokémon my own. If you wish to save the Pokémon from the lakes, take the warp panel ahead. I am off to Mt. Coronet. That's correct. Mt. Coronet. Where you and I first met. I will ascend the mountain to its peak and put an end to everything... No. I will bring about a new beginning for everything...''

=====Spear Pillar=====
''Now all will end. And everything will begin. With this [[Red Chain]] I will pry open the portal to another dimension. I command that you unleash all your power for me... {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}} the mythical Pokémon and the master of time/space. This will bring about the destruction of all thing.With everything gone, there will be no fighting and no strife. Can you feel time/space distorting? Only I can choose to stop it. This is the mythical Pokémon that created Sinnoh! Dialga/Palkia the ancient deity of time/space! This world cannot be molded into the ultimate world I seek! It's far easier to create an entirely new world than to change this one! A new world in which I am the ruler of all things! I shall become a deity!''

''Oh! Dialga/Palkia... This is... Fantastic! Beautiful! It's the creating of a new galaxy! My new world! ... Wh-what?!''

*Before battle:
''The Red Chain! It crumbled away to nothing?! But why? Why would {{p|Mesprit}}, the Pokémon of Lake Verity, appear by your side? But never mind that! It's all destroyed! My galaxy is gone! I won't allow this... I will capture those three again and craft another Red Chain! But before I even think about that, I'm going to completely crush you!

*After sending out last Pokémon:
''I admit that you have pushed me to this extreme.''

*During battle:
''This... this cannot be! It's not possible that I lose!''

*When defeated:
''I won't admit this! The power spoken of in mythology... I didn't just make it obey me, I made it my own!''

*After battle:
''What is truly ultimate to you? What do you consider perfection? The most important thing... What shines the brightest... Telling you is meaningless. But I will not give up. I will become a deity one day... And I will make the ultimate mine...'''

'''Cyrus''' (Japanese: '''アカギ''' ''Akagi'') is [[Team Galactic]]'s leader.

Cyrus disregards all emotions, thinking of them as products of a weak human heart. His goal is to remake the {{pkmn|universe}} in his own image, with himself as the god. He was born and raised in [[Sunyshore City]], as noted in {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}} by an elderly couple residing there. When Cyrus was young, he was a very good student; however, he was antisocial, preferring the company of robots and machines over humans.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Cyrus anime.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Cyrus in the anime]]
He made his first appearance in [[DP096]] and [[DP097]], along with [[Mars]], [[Jupiter]] and [[Saturn]]. In this, he poses as an interested businessman while the remaining members of [[Team Galactic]] carry out a plan to steal the [[Lustrous Orb]] and the [[Adamant Orb]] from the [[Celestic Town]] museum.

He discovers from {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} that they have seen {{p|Azelf}} and {{p|Mesprit}} when the two tell of their encounters with the mysterious Pokémon at [[Lake Verity]] and [[Lake Valor]]. This apparently intrigues him, indicating that he will have future, possibly not as friendly, encounters with the group.

His Japanese voice actor is 三宅健太 ''[[Kenta Miyake]]''.
 

==In the games==
==={{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}===
The player first meets him in [[Mt. Coronet]], but he does not battle, nor give his name. Later on, the two men guarding [[Lake Valor]] will mention his name in passing, though Cyrus himself is not identified until he introduces himself after the {{player}} defeats a [[Galactic Grunt]] and investigates the ruins in [[Celestic Town]].

Upon being defeated at Mt. Coronet, Cyrus claims he will have revenge and disappears. His assets and duties are left to [[Saturn]].

====Quotes====
=====Mt. Coronet=====
''According to one theory, Mt. Coronet is where the Sinnoh region began. In a newly created world... A world where only time flowed and space expanded.. There should have been no strife. But what became of that world? Because the human spirit is weak and incomplete, strife has appeared... This world is being ruined by it...I find the state of things to be deplorable...''
=====Celestic Town=====
''There appears to have been an insignificant struggle here. Everyone should step back and view things from a bigger perspective. Yes, a bigger perspective, one that is on a universal scale. My name is Cyrus. I seek the power to create a new world, a world without strife. However that power seems to be unavailable here... We've met before, yes? It was at Mt. Coronet. If you discover any power derived from the legends of Sinnoh, inform me. For that power is what I need to create my new world.
=====Team Galactic HQ=====
*Before battle:
''I see. You must be the Trainer I've been hearing about. The foolhardy one that's trying to stand up to Team Galactic. Although I'd hardly expected to see that the Trainer is a mere child. I'd heard that our Commanders had a rough time with you... I know why you're here, I can sense it in you. It's about {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, correct? You want to save them... I no longer have any need for them. I am finished with them. If your heart aches to save them, go right ahead, I could care less. It will save me the trouble of disposing of them.''

''But I must say... You are a remarkable specimen. Those Pokémon have nothing to do with you, do they not? But still you came to rescue them out of pity? Such pitifully useless emotions... It's illogical and irrational. Pity and compassion are products of the weak and lacking human heart. You were compelled to come here by vacuous sentimentality! I will make you regret paying heed to your heart!''
*After sending out last Pokémon:
''My last Pokémon.''

*During battle:
''I see... I may lose if this pace continues...''

*When defeated:
''Interesting and quite curious.''

*After battle:
''I see. You are indeed strong. And the basis of your power is your compassion toward Pokémon. How wasteful... Such emotions are but mere illusions. And, like all illusions, they fade over time until death banishes them forever. That is why I have abandoned all emotions as useless sentimentality. But that doesn't matter. I doubt you will ever understand my position. That said, I recognise that you are strong and courageous to come alone. This is your reward.''

''The Master Ball is the ultimate Poké Ball. It will unfailingly catch any Pokémon in the wild. But it is not anything that I require. Unlike you Trainers, I do not make Pokémon my friends or partners. Unlike other Team Galactic members, I don't use Pokémon as tools. Instead, I make the power of Pokémon my own. If you wish to save the Pokémon from the lakes, take the warp panel ahead. I am off to Mt. Coronet. That's correct. Mt. Coronet. Where you and I first met. I will ascend the mountain to its peak and put an end to everything... No. I will bring about a new beginning for everything...''

=====Spear Pillar=====
''Now all will end. And everything will begin. With this [[Red Chain]] I will pry open the portal to another dimension. I command that you unleash all your power for me... {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}} the mythical Pokémon and the master of time/space. This will bring about the destruction of all thing.With everything gone, there will be no fighting and no strife. Can you feel time/space distorting? Only I can choose to stop it. This is the mythical Pokémon that created Sinnoh! Dialga/Palkia the ancient deity of time/space! This world cannot be molded into the ultimate world I seek! It's far easier to create an entirely new world than to change this one! A new world in which I am the ruler of all things! I shall become a deity!''

''Oh! Dialga/Palkia... This is... Fantastic! Beautiful! It's the creating of a new galaxy! My new world! ... Wh-what?!''

*Before battle:
''The Red Chain! It crumbled away to nothing?! But why? Why would {{p|Mesprit}}, the Pokémon of Lake Verity, appear by your side? But never mind that! It's all destroyed! My galaxy is gone! I won't allow this... I will capture those three again and craft another Red Chain! But before I even think about that, I'm going to completely crush you!

*After sending out last Pokémon:
''I admit that you have pushed me to this extreme.''

*During battle:
''This... this cannot be! It's not possible that I lose!''

*When defeated:
''I won't admit this! The power spoken of in mythology... I didn't just make it obey me, I made it my own!''

*After battle:
''What is truly ultimate to you? What do you consider perfection? The most important thing... What shines the brightest... Telling you is meaningless. But I will not give up. I will become a deity one day... And I will make the ultimate mine...'''

==Trivia==
* His Japanese name, {{wp|Akagi}}, is a common surname in Japan, which may indicate that, like [[Giovanni]], his name in Japan is merely his last name, leaving his first unknown. "Akagi" also means "red castle", "red tree", or "red future", the last of which may reference the many deaths that would have taken place if his scheme had come to fruition. It may also refer to the "red chain" which Cyrus needs to summon the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}, at the [[Spear Pillar]]
**It could also be in reference to Planet X, also known as the Red Planet, Nibiru, Wormwood, Quetzalcoatl, and many more names. It is an apocalyptic conspiracy, but there are many different theories about what exactly it is.
* Incidentally, there is a volcano called Akagi in the real-world [[wp:Kantō region|Kanto region]] of Japan.
* An old couple in [[Sunyshore City]] mentions that Cyrus was born and raised there. It also happens that [[Team Galactic]] has never attacked the city, perhaps because the leader, Cyrus himself, still has childhood memories of it.
* Until [[Pluto]]'s introduction, Cyrus was the only one of the four major characters of Team Galactic that does not share a name with a planet. {{wp|Pluto}}, however is a dwarf planet, but Pluto was formerly considered a planet before 2006.
* Cyrus is the first leader of a [[villainous teams|villanous team]] to appear in the opening of a {{game3|Platinum|game}}.
* Cyrus has, in a way, more of a role in {{v2|Platinum}}. He appears at [[Lake Verity]] at the start of the game and at other points in the game and is now battled for the first time in [[Celestic Town]].
* Although there are only three red gems visible on each of {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, Cyrus will recreate the Red Chain as many times as the player loses to him.

'''Ninetales''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キュウコン ''' ''Kyukon'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Vulpix}} by {{evostone|Fire Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
This fox-like Pokémon is covered with a thick, luxurious white fur, as well as having nine tails, each of which is tipped with orange. They also have a fluffy crest atop their heads and a similar ruff around their necks. Ninetales have gleaming red eyes that are said to give them the power of mind control. They can also live up to one thousand years.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Ninetales are based on the ''{{wp|kitsune}}'' of Japanese mythology, giving them abilities to wield {{t|Ghost}}-type attacks such as {{m|Confuse Ray}}. They are also very vengeful Pokémon and have been known to curse those who mistreat them. Ninetales are highly intelligent Pokémon that understand human speech. Many legends surround this Pokémon, one of which stating that Ninetales {{m|Fire Blast|was born}} when 9 saints were united and reincarnated as this Pokémon.
Ninetales also always come with the ability {{a|Flash Fire}}.

===Behavior===
This Pokémon's extreme intelligence lends to what most consider {{type2|Psychic}} characteristics, though Ninetales has never officially been described as anything other than a {{type2|Fire}}. It also seems to hold grudges very easily and will curse humans and Pokémon alike if they touch one of its tails.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Ninetales can be found in grassy plains or in mountainous areas with lots of shade, but they are very rare.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ninetales anime.jpg|thumb|right|Ninetales in the anime]]Ninetales was first seen in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]''. The [[Cinnabar Island]] [[Gym Leader]], [[Blaine]], used it against {{Ash}} in their first Gym battle.

Ninetales was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

A Ninetales made a cameo appearance in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''. This Ninetales belonged to [[Rudy]].

In ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'', a friend of [[Suzy]] named [[Zane]] had a Ninetales and used it in a [[Pokémon breeding]] contest.

In ''[[EP232|Just Waiting On A Friend]]'', a very old Ninetales befriended [[Brock]], who bore a resemblance to her long lost master. This Ninetales created all sorts of illusions, including one of [[Lokoko|a woman]] through which it spoke.

Ninetales also had a cameo during the opening credits of ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', taking part in the festival honoring [[Sir Aaron]].

A Ninetales appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]'' as one of [[J]]'s captured Pokémon.

==In the manga==
In Pokémon Special, {{Special|Red}} and {{Special|Green}} both tried catching the same Ninetales. In the scuffle for its Poké Ball, Green managed to grab it first. [[Magma Admin Courtney]] uses a Ninetales as her main battler.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]], the curse that Ninetales can conjure is one of the main points of the plot.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===

==Trivia==
*Ninetales's name was originally spelled as "Nine Tales".
*Ninetales is a very intelligent Pokémon, and can understand human speech.
*Ninetales's name is misspelled as "Ninetails" in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (game)|Pokémon TCG Game]] for the [[Game Boy Color]].
*Ninetales can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Arcanine}}. Both of them are {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} whose only evolutionary event utilizes a {{evostone|Fire Stone}} from their unevolved forms. Ninetales is exclusive to {{game|LeafGreen}} while Arcanine is to {{game|FireRed}}, Arcanine has a 75% chance of being male while Ninetales has a 75% of being female, and they are both in the {{egg3|Ground}}. Additionally, both can have {{a|Flash Fire}} as their ability.
*None of Ninetales's sprites had their tail tips colored differently until [[Generation IV]], though the Sugimori art has had it all the time.
*In Pokémon Platinum, Ninetales is the one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Dex, and not introduced in Generation IV to have a new sprite.

===Origin===
Ninetales, like {{p|Vulpix}}, are based on foxes. However, in Japan there are certain legends concerning foxes, or ''{{wp|kitsune}}'', as they are known there. One such legend which relates to Ninetales the most is how many-tailed foxes can breathe fire, create illusions, and have extremely long lifespans. After living a long time, these creatures take on spirit forms, which may be the reason why these two related Pokémon can learn {{type2|Ghost}} moves.

In particular, Ninetales is based on the 九尾の狐, the nine-tailed fox, which is a fox of advanced age whose fur has turned silver-gold. It is said to have the power of infinite vision.
====Name origin====
Its name simply refers to the nine tails it has. ''Kyūkon'' can be taken to mean 旧恨, old grudge, although it is worth noting that the first syllable spells out 九 ''kyū'', nine and ''kon'' from the Japanese onomatopoeia ''konkon'' - the sound that foxes make. Furthermore, a コンロ ''konro'' is a gas burner stove. Also, an alternate reading of the Japanese word for fox, 狐 ''kitsune'', is ''ko''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Vulnona
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Feunard - ''Feu'' means fire, and ''renard'' means fox.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 나인테일 ''Nainteil''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 九尾 ''Jio Wei'' ("nine tails")

Later, she can join the player in competition at Sinnoh's [[Battle Tower (Sinnoh)|Battle Tower]]. She first appears in [[Eterna Forest]].

'''Pokémon Platinum Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスタープラチナ''' ''Pocket Monsters Platina'') is a sister game to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and is the third [[Generation IV]] [[main series]] game. The game was first seen on May 11, 2008 when a low-resolution cell-phone picture of an upcoming issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine was leaked around the Internet. On May 15, the magazine was officially released and the game was also officially confirmed by Nintendo. The game was released in Japan on September 13, 2008 and currently awaits release in other regions.

Like previous third versions, the region and starting area remain the same, and the player begins their journey from [[Twinleaf Town]] across all of [[Sinnoh]].

==Known changes from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl==
===Aesthetic changes===
* {{ga|Lucas}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Pearl}} have different outfits designed for colder weather, as the entire Sinnoh region has dropped in temperature.
* The template for the [[level]], [[HP]], and name of Pokémon in battle is a dark gray instead of white and its shape has changed.
* The [[Pokétch]] has been redesigned. Players can now move up and down between apps instead of having to go through all of them to return to a previous one.
* Some of the [[moves]] have been redesigned and have a different animation, such as {{m|Razor Leaf}}.
* When Pokémon are sent out from their [[Poké Ball]]s, their back sprites now animate much like their front sprites have since {{v|Emerald}}. Front sprites for {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} and other Pokémon in the [[Sinnoh Dex]] have also changed.
* When battling certain {{pkmn|Trainer}}s such as [[Gym Leader]]s and {{ga|Pearl}}, their sprites are now animated to move in the same manner as Pokémon.
* Some trainers now use [[seals]] when sending out some of their Pokémon.
* The [[Eterna Gym|Eterna]], [[Hearthome Gym|Hearthome]], and [[Veilstone Gym]]s have all had complete redesigns in the interior.
* Gym Leader closeups, just before a Gym battle, have been changed from enlarged sprites to higher-quality drawings and the terms VS.  The Elite Four now also has this but it includes the player on the left side of the VS. and the Elite Four member on the right of the VS.
* The rooms where the player battle the {{si|Elite Four}} have been redesigned. {{EF|Aaron}} now has logs and foliage in his room. [[Bertha]] now has rocks in her room. {{EF|Flint}} now contains lava pits in his room. [[Lucian]]'s room has only had minor changes to now include four large lights or glowing orbs on the floor. [[Cynthia]]'s room has changed its color scheme and the lift leading up to the [[Hall of Fame]] is now partially contained. The Pokémon Center at the Elite Four has also been redesigned.
* When entering new areas, the location 'labels' on the top-left corner have been redesigned, much like they were between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}.
*All gyms now only have Pokémon of their type specialty instead the extremely creative type chainging from Pokemon Diamond and Pearl.

===Storyline changes===
* The player meets [[Professor Rowan]] and the opposite gender character earlier, and obtains his or her [[starter Pokémon]] on [[Route 201]].
* The first battle is against the player's rival, who, as always, has chosen the starter Pokémon that weakens that of the player.
* The player and the rival now encounter [[Cyrus]] at [[Lake Verity]] at the start of the game. The player can also meet Cyrus at different venues such as the Eterna City statue.
* Both {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} appear on [[Spear Pillar]]. {{p|Giratina}}, the mascot of Platinum, then phases into [[Pokémon universe|the world]] in front of [[Cyrus]].
* A new area known as the [[Ruined World]] (Japanese: やぶれたせかい ''Torn World'') is playable. It has floor-like sections floating at ninety-degree angles from each other, creating an effect similar to the art of {{wp|M. C. Escher}}. It doesn't follow the {{wp|Laws of Physics}}, making things like {{m|Surf|surfing}} down a waterfall going up possible. The camera angle switches between perspective and isometric views to suit the angle of the player. It also has moving platforms with jumpable gaps between them. Giratina, when here, will be in its Origin Forme and is also the only wild Pokémon located here.
* At least two new characters were added. One is [[Pluto]], a professor of [[Team Galactic]], and the other is a police officer spying on Team Galactic, using the codename "[[Handsome]]" (Japanese: ハンサム).
* A tag battle between the player and his or her {{ga|Pearl|rival}} against {{EF|Flint}} and [[Volkner]] takes place at the entrance to the {{si|Battle Frontier}} when the player first arrives there.
* [[Team Galactic]]'s plans for world domination and the layouts of their HQs, such as the one in Eterna, have been changed. In addition, they openly recognize their goal and are more openly villainous.
* Some of the [[Gym Leader]]s have been reordered: [[Fantina]] is now the third Gym Leader, [[Maylene]] is the fourth and [[Crasher Wake]] is the fifth.
* {{ga|Dawn}}/{{ga|Lucas}} no longer gives the player the [[Dowsing Machine]] or the [[Vs Seeker]] near the [[Route 206]] junction; instead he/she meets the player at the entrance to [[Mt. Coronet]].
*[[Team Galactic]] appear in [[Stark Mountain]] under the command of [[Pluto]], who seeks to use the destructive power of the volcano to extort money from the people of Sinnoh. The player, with help from [[Buck]], must defeat them. During this event, [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] quit Team Galactic because Pluto does not share the same ideals as ex-boss [[Cyrus]]. Ultimately, Pluto and his two accompanying grunts are apprehended by [[Handsome]] and two policemen.
* After the aforementioned event, the player is able to challenge all the [[Gym Leader]]s of Sinnoh to rematches in the [[Match Place]]. The player's tag battle partners from throughout the game ([[Cheryl]], [[Buck]], [[Marley]], [[Mira]], and [[Riley]]) are also able to be challenged in this café. Each of the 13 characters has a team of five Pokémon, whose levels are between 61 and 66.
* The {{si|Elite Four}} increase their Pokémon's levels after the player has completed the [[Stark Mountain]] event. Their levels are now between 65 and 78.
* When one finishes the [[Stark Mountain]] quest, instead of the [[rival]] appearing at the [[Fight Area]] on weekends, he now appears at the [[Survival Area]] in front of the [[Match Place]]. During the first battle, the levels of the Pokémon in his party range from 59-65, second battle 69-75, and third and beyond 79-85. On his last battle, he is the trainer with the highest-leveled Pokémon in all main series games.
* When first visiting the [[Resort Area]], the player receives a villa. Inside on a table is a catalog that lists items that can be purchased to furnish the house in the same manner as decorating a secret base. The player will be visited by NPCs such as the Sinnoh Gym Leaders, the player's [[mom]], [[Professor Rowan]], and the rival.
*All gyms only have Pokémon from their type specialty, which is very dull.

===Gameplay changes===
* Giratina's cry will be heard when "Start" or "A" are pressed at the title screen, unlike in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} which just play the background music. It shares this trait with some previous generation games.
* The Wi-Fi area has been enhanced with the [[Wi-Fi Square]], which supports up to 20 people at a time. The new area seems to focus exclusively on mini-games, which include ''Rapid Wobbuffet'', where players hit a {{p|Wobbuffet}}, and ''Merry Mime Jr.'', where players can balance {{p|Mime Jr.}} on a ball.
* The [[Poffin]] making has been modified with a new feature involving a {{p|Swalot}}-shaped machine, into which [[Berry|Berries]] can be thrown. This can be done over Wi-Fi in the new [[Wi-Fi Square]].
* There is a new [[key item]] called the [[Battle Recorder]] (given by [[Handsome]] when the player first meets him in [[Jubilife City]]), which allows players to record battles in {{si|Battle Frontier}} and Wi-Fi, and share the records with other players over the [[GTS]]. Battle records can be rated by other players upon viewing, and the most popular battle records are displayed for all to see. Players can also take pictures of their [[PC]] boxes and share them with other players in a similar fashion.
* The [[GTS]] has incorporated an E-mail system that allows players to be notified of completed trades. Notification messages are sent to the player's actual E-mail address.
* The Sinnoh starters and their evolutions are now allowed in an expanded [[Amity Square]], making a total of 20 Pokémon allowed in the Square.
* Over local wireless, there is a new feature where the player and their friends can put their Pokémon eggs in and randomly swap.
* {{HM|05|Defog}} is now located inside the [[Solaceon Ruins]] instead of the [[Pastoria Great Marsh]].
* The player now receives {{HM|04|Strength}} from [[Riley]] on [[Iron Island]] instead of in the [[Lost Tower]].
* The player can now challenge other trainers in certain [[Pokémon Center]]s. The trainer(s) are located in front of the desk. These trainers change location every day.
* In addition to the move tutors in Diamond and Pearl, three new [[move tutors]] are added, in [[Snowpoint City]], on [[Route 212]] and in the [[Survival Area]].
* Hypnosis's accuracy was changed back to 60.
* The {{m|Surf|surfing}} speed has become faster.

====Obtainable Pokémon====
* 59 more Pokémon have been added to the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] to give it a grand total of 210 entries, with all non-legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV now included, along with their pre-evolved forms and several other Pokémon. The added Pokémon, such as {{p|Rotom}} and {{p|Giratina}}, are now available prior to the [[Elite Four]] challenge.
* Giratina can appear both as Another Forme and Origin Forme in Platinum. It will appear in Origin Forme while in the [[Ruined World]], and in Another Forme while out of it. A [[Platinum Orb]] is required to transform it to its Origin Forme outside of the Ruined World.
* The [[ability]] of Origin Forme is {{a|Levitate}} and its [[Stat|base stats]] mirror those of Another Forme in that the offensive stats have been switched with their respective defensive stats.
* Shaymin's new Forme is called ''Sky Forme'' and takes on a canine appearance. Its [[ability]] is {{a|Serene Grace}} and the form is focused on {{stat|Speed}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}. It will be able to learn new moves like {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Air Slash}} and {{m|Leaf Storm}}.
* {{p|Shaymin}} is able to change between its two forms via the use of the [[Glacidea Flower]] (Japanese: グラシデアのはな). This item doesn't work at [[Time#Times of day|night]] or if Shaymin is {{status|Freeze|frozen}}.
*{{p|Rotom}} has new forms as well. Each of the five forms is a Rotom that has possessed an electrical appliance. Despite having visual characteristics of other types, the five forms share the original Rotom's {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ghost}} types, whereas their [[Stat|base stats]] are far higher. They also share the original Rotom's ability: {{a|Levitate}}. These Pokémon are not normally available and are therefore banned from official tournaments. The item to unlock these Pokémon in the game, the [[List of key items in Generation IV#Secret Key|Secret Key]], is an event-only item.
* {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} are catchable at level 30 with the help of an [[List of Nintendo event Pokémon in 2008#Movie Regigigas, Japan, June 20-August 31, 2008|event]] {{p|Regigigas}} that has been distributed in Japan.
*{{p|Regigigas}} is now found at level 1, making it the lowest-[[level]] non-glitch wild Pokémon in a game (not to mention the lowest-level non-glitch legendary in a game).
* The [[legendary birds]] can be found as roaming Pokémon after the [[National Dex|National Pokédex]] is obtained. They roam Sinnoh much like {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Cresselia}} do. The player has to talk to [[Professor Oak]] in [[Eterna City]] to trigger their appearance. They are all at level 60.
* {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} appear on [[Spear Pillar]] one at a time after the player has spoken with Cynthia's grandmother in [[Celestic Town]], and obtained the [[Adamant Orb|Adamant]] and [[Lustrous Orb]]s in [[Mt. Coronet]].
* [[Cynthia]] now gives the player a {{g|egg}} containing {{p|Togepi}} after the player has defeated the [[Galactic Eterna Building]].
* [[Bebe]] now gives the player an {{p|Eevee}} before the player receives the [[National Dex]]; Eevee can now be obtained from the first time the player arrives in [[Hearthome City]]. It is at level 20.
* A man in [[Veilstone City]] gives the player a level 25 {{p|Porygon}} as a gift.
* {{p|Manaphy}}, while still uncatchable in-game, is now required to obtain the [[National Dex]]. It can be added to the [[Sinnoh Dex]] from finding its picture in a book in the [[Trophy Garden]].

===Map changes===
*Much like the [[Pokémon Emerald Version|third version of the last generation]], a new {{si|Battle Frontier}} takes the place of the {{si|Battle Park}}. It has the {{si|Battle Tower}}, {{si|Battle Factory}}, {{si|Battle Castle}}, {{si|Battle Roulette}} and {{si|Battle Stage}} as venues.
*[[Twinleaf Town]] and nearby routes now have snow patches.
*[[Jubilife City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and some buildings have animated roof lights.
*The [[Global Trade Station]] in [[Jubilife City]] has been redesigned and now includes a bigger global terminal.
*An arch now represents the entrance to [[Floaroma Town]].
*The trees in [[Eterna Forest]] cast shadows that cover the forest floor.
*[[Eterna City]] has been refurbished with new foliage and pathways. Also the [[Galactic Eterna Building]] has had a complete redesign, inside and out.
*[[Route 206|Cycling Road]] has been redesigned and now has tunnel-like shelters in the middle of the Cycle Route.
*[[Hearthome City]] has been refurbished with new pathways.
*[[Amity Square]] has been completely remodeled. It now includes a small lake, more paths and more upper levels. The old buildings that previously inhabited Amity Square now contain Warp Panels which transport the player to the other old buildings within Amity Square.
*[[Lost Tower]] has had its color scheme changed and now has fog on three of its five floors, which can be cleared by {{HM|05|Defog}}.
*[[Solaceon Town]]'s houses have been remodeled and the [[Pokémon Daycare]] now has a trough filled with water and tent-like shelters.
*[[Veilstone City]] has been refurbished with new pathways. The [[Galactic Veilstone Building]] has been redesigned, inside and out. The [[Veilstone Department Store]] now has a basement.
*The [[Hotel Grand Lake]] has been refurbished with new pathways.
*[[Pastoria City]]'s houses have been remodeled and now also includes a board with a {{p|Croagunk}} on it which is located in front of the [[Great Marsh]].
*The [[Great Marsh]] has had its color scheme changed and has also had foliage changed and added.
*[[Celestic Town]]'s houses have been remodeled.
*[[Canalave City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and its houses and library have also been remodeled.
*The player now needs to use {{HM|08|Rock Climb}} to access [[Lake Acuity]].
*The area of water to the south of [[Snowpoint City]] where the player can get a boat to the [[Battle Zone]] now contains a small amount of icebergs. These can also be seen in the ocean when the boat is crossing to the Battle Zone. The boat has also been redesigned, most likely due to the icebergs in the sea.
*[[Sunyshore City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and its houses have been remodeled.
*Sinnoh's climate has changed drastically. Snow is now found as far south as [[Twinleaf Town]], whereas the [[Battle Zone]] is now warmer. Palm trees can be found in the Battle Zone.
*[[Stark Mountain]] now has more features evocative of a {{wp|volcano}}, such as crags and pits of lava.
*Veilstone Department Store now has a basement, in which contest items can be sold and bought. Berries and Lava Cookies can be bought as well.
*The entrance and exit of {{si|Victory Road}} have become wider, having a [[Poké Ball]] at the center of the arch.
*[[Oreburgh Mine]] now has twin coal transporters starting from the entrance and ending at the entrance to the last section of the mine.

==Connectivity==
*The game can connect automatically to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} once the player has access to a [[Pokémon Center]]. It retains the same compatibility with [[Generation III]] games and [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] as its predecessors, while an update for [[My Pokémon Ranch]] is required for it to be able to connect.

==Trivia==
*This is the first game where a [[version mascot]]'s primary color is not the name of the game. However, while no color is especially dominant in {{p|Giratina}}'s color scheme, it has gray elements that the "Platinum" may refer to, and the names ''Giratina'' and ''Platina'' share the same word ending.
* Platinum is the only game thus far to have altered a [[regional Pokédex]].
* Platinum is the first game to be named after a metal since {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. However, both Gold and Silver are also considered colors, making Platinum the first game named solely after a metal.
** It also makes [[Generation IV]] the first generation in which two game names have the same first initial in English ('''P'''earl and '''P'''latinum). However, other languages have had the same initial in their game names, with Spanish '''A'''zul and '''A'''marillo for Blue and Yellow and German '''S'''aphir and '''S'''maragd for Sapphire and Emerald. Coincidentally, all three of these are the respective second and third versions of their generation.
* Two of the mini-games feature [[Team Rocket]]'s Pokémon: {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}}
* According to {{wp|Famitsu}}, Pokémon Platinum is the fastest-selling [[Nintendo DS]] game.
* A small cosmetic mistake was made during the development of Platinum. Normally, when the player picks up an item on the ground, it disappears and the message saying "[PLAYER] received a Poké Ball" or whichever item it happens to be. However, when the Platinum Orb was placed in the Torn World, the programmers got this backwards for the first known time in Pokémon history. When the player "talks" to the Poké Ball containing the Platinum Orb, it displays "[PLAYER] received a Platinum Orb!" ''before'' it disappears.

'''Pokémon Platinum Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスタープラチナ''' ''Pocket Monsters Platina'') is a sister game to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and is the third [[Generation IV]] [[main series]] game. The game was first seen on May 11, 2008 when a low-resolution cell-phone picture of an upcoming issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine was leaked around the Internet. On May 15, the magazine was officially released and the game was also officially confirmed by Nintendo. The game was released in Japan on September 13, 2008 and currently awaits release in other regions.

Like previous third versions, the region and starting area remain the same, and the player begins their journey from [[Twinleaf Town]] across all of [[Sinnoh]].

==Known changes from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl==
===Aesthetic changes===
* {{ga|Lucas}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Pearl}} have different outfits designed for colder weather, as the entire Sinnoh region has dropped in temperature.
* The template for the [[level]], [[HP]], and name of Pokémon in battle is a dark gray instead of white and its shape has changed.
* The [[Pokétch]] has been redesigned. Players can now move up and down between apps instead of having to go through all of them to return to a previous one.
* Some of the [[moves]] have been redesigned and have a different animation, such as {{m|Razor Leaf}}.
* When Pokémon are sent out from their [[Poké Ball]]s, their back sprites now animate much like their front sprites have since {{v|Emerald}}. Front sprites for {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} and other Pokémon in the [[Sinnoh Dex]] have also changed.
* When battling certain {{pkmn|Trainer}}s such as [[Gym Leader]]s and {{ga|Pearl}}, their sprites are now animated to move in the same manner as Pokémon.
* Some trainers now use [[seals]] when sending out some of their Pokémon.
* The [[Eterna Gym|Eterna]], [[Hearthome Gym|Hearthome]], and [[Veilstone Gym]]s have all had complete redesigns in the interior.
* Gym Leader closeups, just before a Gym battle, have been changed from enlarged sprites to higher-quality drawings and the terms VS.  The Elite Four now also has this but it includes the player on the left side of the VS. and the Elite Four member on the right of the VS.
* The rooms where the player battle the {{si|Elite Four}} have been redesigned. {{EF|Aaron}} now has logs and foliage in his room. [[Bertha]] now has rocks in her room. {{EF|Flint}} now contains lava pits in his room. [[Lucian]]'s room has only had minor changes to now include four large lights or glowing orbs on the floor. [[Cynthia]]'s room has changed its color scheme and the lift leading up to the [[Hall of Fame]] is now partially contained. The Pokémon Center at the Elite Four has also been redesigned.
* When entering new areas, the location 'labels' on the top-left corner have been redesigned, much like they were between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}.
*All gyms now only have Pokémon of their type specialty instead the extremely creative type chainging from Pokemon Diamond and Pearl.

===Storyline changes===
* The player meets [[Professor Rowan]] and the opposite gender character earlier, and obtains his or her [[starter Pokémon]] on [[Route 201]].
* The first battle is against the player's rival, who, as always, has chosen the starter Pokémon that weakens that of the player.
* The player and the rival now encounter [[Cyrus]] at [[Lake Verity]] at the start of the game. The player can also meet Cyrus at different venues such as the Eterna City statue.
* Both {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} appear on [[Spear Pillar]]. {{p|Giratina}}, the mascot of Platinum, then phases into [[Pokémon universe|the world]] in front of [[Cyrus]].
* A new area known as the [[Ruined World]] (Japanese: やぶれたせかい ''Torn World'') is playable. It has floor-like sections floating at ninety-degree angles from each other, creating an effect similar to the art of {{wp|M. C. Escher}}. It doesn't follow the {{wp|Laws of Physics}}, making things like {{m|Surf|surfing}} down a waterfall going up possible. The camera angle switches between perspective and isometric views to suit the angle of the player. It also has moving platforms with jumpable gaps between them. Giratina, when here, will be in its Origin Forme and is also the only wild Pokémon located here.
* At least two new characters were added. One is [[Pluto]], a professor of [[Team Galactic]], and the other is a police officer spying on Team Galactic, using the codename "[[Handsome]]" (Japanese: ハンサム).
* A tag battle between the player and his or her {{ga|Pearl|rival}} against {{EF|Flint}} and [[Volkner]] takes place at the entrance to the {{si|Battle Frontier}} when the player first arrives there.
* [[Team Galactic]]'s plans for world domination and the layouts of their HQs, such as the one in Eterna, have been changed. In addition, they openly recognize their goal and are more openly villainous.
* Some of the [[Gym Leader]]s have been reordered: [[Fantina]] is now the third Gym Leader, [[Maylene]] is the fourth and [[Crasher Wake]] is the fifth.
* {{ga|Dawn}}/{{ga|Lucas}} no longer gives the player the [[Dowsing Machine]] or the [[Vs Seeker]] near the [[Route 206]] junction; instead he/she meets the player at the entrance to [[Mt. Coronet]].
*[[Team Galactic]] appear in [[Stark Mountain]] under the command of [[Pluto]], who seeks to use the destructive power of the volcano to extort money from the people of Sinnoh. The player, with help from [[Buck]], must defeat them. During this event, [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] quit Team Galactic because Pluto does not share the same ideals as ex-boss [[Cyrus]]. Ultimately, Pluto and his two accompanying grunts are apprehended by [[Handsome]] and two policemen.
* After the aforementioned event, the player is able to challenge all the [[Gym Leader]]s of Sinnoh to rematches in the [[Match Place]]. The player's tag battle partners from throughout the game ([[Cheryl]], [[Buck]], [[Marley]], [[Mira]], and [[Riley]]) are also able to be challenged in this café. Each of the 13 characters has a team of five Pokémon, whose levels are between 61 and 66.
* The {{si|Elite Four}} increase their Pokémon's levels after the player has completed the [[Stark Mountain]] event. Their levels are now between 65 and 78.
* When one finishes the [[Stark Mountain]] quest, instead of the [[rival]] appearing at the [[Fight Area]] on weekends, he now appears at the [[Survival Area]] in front of the [[Match Place]]. During the first battle, the levels of the Pokémon in his party range from 59-65, second battle 69-75, and third and beyond 79-85. On his last battle, he is the trainer with the highest-leveled Pokémon in all main series games.
* When first visiting the [[Resort Area]], the player receives a villa. Inside on a table is a catalog that lists items that can be purchased to furnish the house in the same manner as decorating a secret base. The player will be visited by NPCs such as the Sinnoh Gym Leaders, the player's [[mom]], [[Professor Rowan]], and the rival.

===Gameplay changes===
* Giratina's cry will be heard when "Start" or "A" are pressed at the title screen, unlike in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} which just play the background music. It shares this trait with some previous generation games.
* The Wi-Fi area has been enhanced with the [[Wi-Fi Square]], which supports up to 20 people at a time. The new area seems to focus exclusively on mini-games, which include ''Rapid Wobbuffet'', where players hit a {{p|Wobbuffet}}, and ''Merry Mime Jr.'', where players can balance {{p|Mime Jr.}} on a ball.
* The [[Poffin]] making has been modified with a new feature involving a {{p|Swalot}}-shaped machine, into which [[Berry|Berries]] can be thrown. This can be done over Wi-Fi in the new [[Wi-Fi Square]].
* There is a new [[key item]] called the [[Battle Recorder]] (given by [[Handsome]] when the player first meets him in [[Jubilife City]]), which allows players to record battles in {{si|Battle Frontier}} and Wi-Fi, and share the records with other players over the [[GTS]]. Battle records can be rated by other players upon viewing, and the most popular battle records are displayed for all to see. Players can also take pictures of their [[PC]] boxes and share them with other players in a similar fashion.
* The [[GTS]] has incorporated an E-mail system that allows players to be notified of completed trades. Notification messages are sent to the player's actual E-mail address.
* The Sinnoh starters and their evolutions are now allowed in an expanded [[Amity Square]], making a total of 20 Pokémon allowed in the Square.
* Over local wireless, there is a new feature where the player and their friends can put their Pokémon eggs in and randomly swap.
* {{HM|05|Defog}} is now located inside the [[Solaceon Ruins]] instead of the [[Pastoria Great Marsh]].
* The player now receives {{HM|04|Strength}} from [[Riley]] on [[Iron Island]] instead of in the [[Lost Tower]].
* The player can now challenge other trainers in certain [[Pokémon Center]]s. The trainer(s) are located in front of the desk. These trainers change location every day.
* In addition to the move tutors in Diamond and Pearl, three new [[move tutors]] are added, in [[Snowpoint City]], on [[Route 212]] and in the [[Survival Area]].
* Hypnosis's accuracy was changed back to 60.
* The {{m|Surf|surfing}} speed has become faster.

====Obtainable Pokémon====
* 59 more Pokémon have been added to the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] to give it a grand total of 210 entries, with all non-legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV now included, along with their pre-evolved forms and several other Pokémon. The added Pokémon, such as {{p|Rotom}} and {{p|Giratina}}, are now available prior to the [[Elite Four]] challenge.
* Giratina can appear both as Another Forme and Origin Forme in Platinum. It will appear in Origin Forme while in the [[Ruined World]], and in Another Forme while out of it. A [[Platinum Orb]] is required to transform it to its Origin Forme outside of the Ruined World.
* The [[ability]] of Origin Forme is {{a|Levitate}} and its [[Stat|base stats]] mirror those of Another Forme in that the offensive stats have been switched with their respective defensive stats.
* Shaymin's new Forme is called ''Sky Forme'' and takes on a canine appearance. Its [[ability]] is {{a|Serene Grace}} and the form is focused on {{stat|Speed}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}. It will be able to learn new moves like {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Air Slash}} and {{m|Leaf Storm}}.
* {{p|Shaymin}} is able to change between its two forms via the use of the [[Glacidea Flower]] (Japanese: グラシデアのはな). This item doesn't work at [[Time#Times of day|night]] or if Shaymin is {{status|Freeze|frozen}}.
*{{p|Rotom}} has new forms as well. Each of the five forms is a Rotom that has possessed an electrical appliance. Despite having visual characteristics of other types, the five forms share the original Rotom's {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ghost}} types, whereas their [[Stat|base stats]] are far higher. They also share the original Rotom's ability: {{a|Levitate}}. These Pokémon are not normally available and are therefore banned from official tournaments. The item to unlock these Pokémon in the game, the [[List of key items in Generation IV#Secret Key|Secret Key]], is an event-only item.
* {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} are catchable at level 30 with the help of an [[List of Nintendo event Pokémon in 2008#Movie Regigigas, Japan, June 20-August 31, 2008|event]] {{p|Regigigas}} that has been distributed in Japan.
*{{p|Regigigas}} is now found at level 1, making it the lowest-[[level]] non-glitch wild Pokémon in a game (not to mention the lowest-level non-glitch legendary in a game).
* The [[legendary birds]] can be found as roaming Pokémon after the [[National Dex|National Pokédex]] is obtained. They roam Sinnoh much like {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Cresselia}} do. The player has to talk to [[Professor Oak]] in [[Eterna City]] to trigger their appearance. They are all at level 60.
* {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} appear on [[Spear Pillar]] one at a time after the player has spoken with Cynthia's grandmother in [[Celestic Town]], and obtained the [[Adamant Orb|Adamant]] and [[Lustrous Orb]]s in [[Mt. Coronet]].
* [[Cynthia]] now gives the player a {{g|egg}} containing {{p|Togepi}} after the player has defeated the [[Galactic Eterna Building]].
* [[Bebe]] now gives the player an {{p|Eevee}} before the player receives the [[National Dex]]; Eevee can now be obtained from the first time the player arrives in [[Hearthome City]]. It is at level 20.
* A man in [[Veilstone City]] gives the player a level 25 {{p|Porygon}} as a gift.
* {{p|Manaphy}}, while still uncatchable in-game, is now required to obtain the [[National Dex]]. It can be added to the [[Sinnoh Dex]] from finding its picture in a book in the [[Trophy Garden]].

===Map changes===
*Much like the [[Pokémon Emerald Version|third version of the last generation]], a new {{si|Battle Frontier}} takes the place of the {{si|Battle Park}}. It has the {{si|Battle Tower}}, {{si|Battle Factory}}, {{si|Battle Castle}}, {{si|Battle Roulette}} and {{si|Battle Stage}} as venues.
*[[Twinleaf Town]] and nearby routes now have snow patches.
*[[Jubilife City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and some buildings have animated roof lights.
*The [[Global Trade Station]] in [[Jubilife City]] has been redesigned and now includes a bigger global terminal.
*An arch now represents the entrance to [[Floaroma Town]].
*The trees in [[Eterna Forest]] cast shadows that cover the forest floor.
*[[Eterna City]] has been refurbished with new foliage and pathways. Also the [[Galactic Eterna Building]] has had a complete redesign, inside and out.
*[[Route 206|Cycling Road]] has been redesigned and now has tunnel-like shelters in the middle of the Cycle Route.
*[[Hearthome City]] has been refurbished with new pathways.
*[[Amity Square]] has been completely remodeled. It now includes a small lake, more paths and more upper levels. The old buildings that previously inhabited Amity Square now contain Warp Panels which transport the player to the other old buildings within Amity Square.
*[[Lost Tower]] has had its color scheme changed and now has fog on three of its five floors, which can be cleared by {{HM|05|Defog}}.
*[[Solaceon Town]]'s houses have been remodeled and the [[Pokémon Daycare]] now has a trough filled with water and tent-like shelters.
*[[Veilstone City]] has been refurbished with new pathways. The [[Galactic Veilstone Building]] has been redesigned, inside and out. The [[Veilstone Department Store]] now has a basement.
*The [[Hotel Grand Lake]] has been refurbished with new pathways.
*[[Pastoria City]]'s houses have been remodeled and now also includes a board with a {{p|Croagunk}} on it which is located in front of the [[Great Marsh]].
*The [[Great Marsh]] has had its color scheme changed and has also had foliage changed and added.
*[[Celestic Town]]'s houses have been remodeled.
*[[Canalave City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and its houses and library have also been remodeled.
*The player now needs to use {{HM|08|Rock Climb}} to access [[Lake Acuity]].
*The area of water to the south of [[Snowpoint City]] where the player can get a boat to the [[Battle Zone]] now contains a small amount of icebergs. These can also be seen in the ocean when the boat is crossing to the Battle Zone. The boat has also been redesigned, most likely due to the icebergs in the sea.
*[[Sunyshore City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and its houses have been remodeled.
*Sinnoh's climate has changed drastically. Snow is now found as far south as [[Twinleaf Town]], whereas the [[Battle Zone]] is now warmer. Palm trees can be found in the Battle Zone.
*[[Stark Mountain]] now has more features evocative of a {{wp|volcano}}, such as crags and pits of lava.
*Veilstone Department Store now has a basement, in which contest items can be sold and bought. Berries and Lava Cookies can be bought as well.
*The entrance and exit of {{si|Victory Road}} have become wider, having a [[Poké Ball]] at the center of the arch.
*[[Oreburgh Mine]] now has twin coal transporters starting from the entrance and ending at the entrance to the last section of the mine.

==Connectivity==
*The game can connect automatically to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} once the player has access to a [[Pokémon Center]]. It retains the same compatibility with [[Generation III]] games and [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] as its predecessors, while an update for [[My Pokémon Ranch]] is required for it to be able to connect.

==Trivia==
*This is the first game where a [[version mascot]]'s primary color is not the name of the game. However, while no color is especially dominant in {{p|Giratina}}'s color scheme, it has gray elements that the "Platinum" may refer to, and the names ''Giratina'' and ''Platina'' share the same word ending.
* Platinum is the only game thus far to have altered a [[regional Pokédex]].
* Platinum is the first game to be named after a metal since {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. However, both Gold and Silver are also considered colors, making Platinum the first game named solely after a metal.
** It also makes [[Generation IV]] the first generation in which two game names have the same first initial in English ('''P'''earl and '''P'''latinum). However, other languages have had the same initial in their game names, with Spanish '''A'''zul and '''A'''marillo for Blue and Yellow and German '''S'''aphir and '''S'''maragd for Sapphire and Emerald. Coincidentally, all three of these are the respective second and third versions of their generation.
* Two of the mini-games feature [[Team Rocket]]'s Pokémon: {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}}
* According to {{wp|Famitsu}}, Pokémon Platinum is the fastest-selling [[Nintendo DS]] game.
* A small cosmetic mistake was made during the development of Platinum. Normally, when the player picks up an item on the ground, it disappears and the message saying "[PLAYER] received a Poké Ball" or whichever item it happens to be. However, when the Platinum Orb was placed in the Torn World, the programmers got this backwards for the first known time in Pokémon history. When the player "talks" to the Poké Ball containing the Platinum Orb, it displays "[PLAYER] received a Platinum Orb!" ''before'' it disappears.

'''Shedinja''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌケニン''' ''Nukenin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Ghost}} Pokémon. It is considered a "special" evolution of {{p|Nincada}}, appearing only when it evolves into {{p|Ninjask}} and there is an extra space in the player's [[party]] and an extra [[Poké Ball]] in their bag.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Shedinja is a brownish Pokémon resembling an insect's exoskeleton. Shedinja has a white halo floating over its head and a black hole on its back. As a matter of fact, it is the shed remains of a {{p|Nincada}} after it evolves into a {{p|Ninjask}}. However, there is no logical explanation as to how Shedinja gained a "life" of its own.
====Gender differences====
This Pokémon is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
It is rumored that if a human peers into its back, their soul will be stolen. Shedinja is impervious to direct-damage from all attacks that its type combination isn't weak to. However, any direct-damage from attacks that Shedinja is weak to (or any form of indirect damage) will always knock it out.

Shedinja's movepool is the same as Ninjask's, but with the addition of several {{type2|Ghost}} moves.

===Behavior===
Shedinja appear to be wise and intelligent Pokémon. They are also very quiet and stealthy, like a Ninja. They are protective over Ninjask but otherwise very little is known about them.

===Habitat===
Shedinja probably live in forests, anywhere where there are Nincada and Ninjasks and many other bug Pokémon.
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Shedinja don't eat anything at all.

==In the anime==
Shedinja first appeared in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''. It was owned by [[Colonel Hansen]].

Since then, it has appeared in some episodes involving [[Pokémon Contest]]s as an extra.

==In the TCG==

Shedinja can also be damaged by {{m|Struggle}} and any of the [[Shadow moves]] from [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD]]. Also, the move {{m|Future Sight}} can still hit it.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|its sequel]], the standard A-button tackle will do one HP damage and wild Shedinja always has a maximum of 5 HP. However, as a team member, Shedinja's HP is not capped.

===Learnset===
{{learnset intro|Shedinja}}
In addition to its normal movepool, Shedinja can also learn a single move from Ninjask's movepool or more than one, if Ninjask would learn multiple moves in a single level. This is because when Shedinja is "shed," it copies Ninjask's current moveset.

==Trivia==
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon whose HP [[IVs|IV]] cannot be determined, due to it always having the same amount of HP. To figure out a Shedinja's HP IV, one must find out the HP IV of the Ninjask that shed it.
* A [[Poké Ball]] is only needed to obtain a Shedinja in the [[Generation IV]] games. In other games, it creates its own Poké Ball in the same way that eggs do.
* Shedinja can be in any type of Poké Ball provided it is the first one listed in the player's bag upon its evolution.
* No other Pokémon shares the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Shedinja.
* Shedinja has the lowest base HP stat of all Pokémon.
**Shedinja's base HP stat is also the lowest base stat number of any legitimate Pokémon (although it is tied with {{p|Missingno.}}'s base Defense stat).
** Shedinja also has the lowest base stat total of all fully-evolved Pokémon.
* Shedinja is one of only three Pokémon that is not a [[baby Pokémon]] to have a different [[egg group]] than its evolutionary relatives (if Nincada and Ninjask are considered part of its evolutionary line), being in the {{egg|Mineral}} egg group while {{p|Nincada}} and {{p|Ninjask}} are in the {{egg|Bug}} group. It cannot breed normally with Mineral group Pokémon either way, however, as it has no gender. The other two Pokémon that share this trait are {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}}.
*Despite having the lowest HP of all Pokémon, a defeated Shedinja will give 2 HP [[EV]]s.
*Shedinja is one of three Ghost-types whose [[List of Pokémon by color|color]] isn't in the black or purple category. The others are {{p|Froslass}} (white) and {{p|Rotom}} (red).
* Shedinja is one of the only two {{type2|Ghost}}s that cannot learn {{m|Psychic}}, the other being {{p|Rotom}}.
* During [[Generation III]], Shedinja's entire body was shown as a dull shade of gold. Shedinja's colors were changed to match its official artwork more closely in [[Generation IV]].

===Origin===
It is based on the shed husk that {{wp|cicada}}s leave behind when they finish their {{wp|metamorphosis}} into adults.
====Name origin====
Shedinja's name is a combination of ''shed'', casting off of skin or exoskeleton, and ''{{wp|ninja}}''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 抜け殻 ''nukegara'', casting off skin, and 忍者 ''ninja''. ''Nukenin'' is also a term describing ninja who have abandoned their clan and lord.

'''Shedinja''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌケニン''' ''Nukenin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Ghost}} Pokémon. It is considered a "special" evolution of {{p|Nincada}}, appearing only when it evolves into {{p|Ninjask}} and there is an extra space in the player's [[party]] and an extra [[Poké Ball]] in their bag.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Shedinja is a brownish Pokémon resembling an insect's exoskeleton. Shedinja has a white halo floating over its head and a black hole on its back. As a matter of fact, it is the shed remains of a {{p|Nincada}} after it evolves into a {{p|Ninjask}}. However, there is no logical explanation as to how Shedinja gained a "life" of its own.
====Gender differences====
This Pokémon is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
It is rumored that if a human peers into its back, their soul will be stolen. Shedinja is impervious to direct-damage from all attacks that its type combination isn't weak to. However, any direct-damage from attacks that Shedinja is weak to (or any form of indirect damage) will always knock it out.

Shedinja's movepool is the same as Ninjask's, but with the addition of several {{type2|Ghost}} moves.

===Behavior===
Shedinja appear to be wise and intelligent Pokémon. They are also very quiet and stealthy, like a Ninja. They are protective over Ninjask but otherwise very little is known about them.

===Habitat===
Shedinja probably live in forests, anywhere where there are Nincada and Ninjasks and many other bug Pokémon.
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Shedinja don't eat anything at all.

==In the anime==
Shedinja first appeared in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''. It was owned by [[Colonel Hansen]].

Since then, it has appeared in some episodes involving [[Pokémon Contest]]s as an extra.

==In the TCG==

===Pokédex entries===

Shedinja can also be damaged by {{m|Struggle}} and any of the [[Shadow moves]] from [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD]]. Also, the move {{m|Future Sight}} can still hit it.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|its sequel]], the standard A-button tackle will do one HP damage and wild Shedinja always has a maximum of 5 HP. However, as a team member, Shedinja's HP is not capped.

===Learnset===
{{learnset intro|Shedinja}}
In addition to its normal movepool, Shedinja can also learn a single move from Ninjask's movepool or more than one, if Ninjask would learn multiple moves in a single level. This is because when Shedinja is "shed," it copies Ninjask's current moveset.

*Shedinja is one of three Ghost-types whose [[List of Pokémon by color|color]] isn't in the black or purple category. The others are {{p|Froslass}} (white) and {{p|Rotom}} (red).
* Shedinja is one of the only two {{type2|Ghost}}s that cannot learn {{m|Psychic}}, the other being {{p|Rotom}}.
* During [[Generation III]], Shedinja's entire body was shown as a dull shade of gold. Shedinja's colors were changed to match its official artwork more closely in [[Generation IV]].

===Origin===
It is based on the shed husk that {{wp|cicada}}s leave behind when they finish their {{wp|metamorphosis}} into adults.
====Name origin====
Shedinja's name is a combination of ''shed'', casting off of skin or exoskeleton, and ''{{wp|ninja}}''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 抜け殻 ''nukegara'', casting off skin, and 忍者 ''ninja''. ''Nukenin'' is also a term describing ninja who have abandoned their clan and lord.

Damage

2008-11-30T20:29:07Z

Masterdude: /* Critical hit */

'''Damage modification''' is a system of multipliers used to change the damage dealt in a battle. These modifiers affect how the damage is calculated by multiplying the move's base power in various ways. These modifiers range from doubling to halving and even negating the damage done.

==Super effective==
When a move is '''super effective''', it does double the damage it would normally do. For example, a move like {{m|Megahorn}} used against a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon will be super effective because {{type2|Bug}} moves are super effective against Psychic-types. This effect can stack up; for example, a Pokémon that is {{t|Rock}}/{{t|Ground}} and is hit by a {{type2|Water}} move like {{m|Surf}} will be damaged four times as much by the move as it would normally be, because both Rock and Ground Pokémon are weak to Water moves.

==Not very effective==
When a move is '''not very effective''', it does half of the damage it would normally do. This works exactly like super effective moves, and can stack up. For example, a {{t|Steel}}/{{t|Rock}} Pokémon will be damaged by a quarter of the amount by a {{type2|Normal}} move. Likewise, a {{t|Normal}}/{{t|Flying}} Pokémon hit by a {{type2|Fighting}} move will be damaged normally, as the super-effectiveness of Fighting against Normal is canceled out by the not-very-effectiveness of Fighting against Flying.

==Not effective==
When a move is '''not effective''', it does not damage the Pokémon at all and that Pokémon is "immune" to that type. This immunity includes status moves of that type. For example, the {{type2|Electric}} move {{m|Thunderbolt}} will have no affect on a {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon such as {{p|Garchomp}}. Likewise, using the move {{m|Thunder Wave}} will prove useless and yields a "It '''does''' not affect Garchomp" (whereas a {{m|Confuse Ray}} that simply missed yields "It '''did''' not affect Garchomp"). Certain types are immune to specific moves, such as {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon being immune to {{m|Leech Seed}}.

==Critical hit==
A move will sometimes get a '''critical hit''' against another Pokémon, some moves more than others. This will double the damage done after after an attack will have a small chance of having a critical hit.
Critical hits work through levels, which determine the chance for a critical hit:

{| border="1" style="border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse;" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"
|- style="background: #ccf;"
! Level
! Percentage
! Moves
|-
|1
|6.25%
|Normal moves
|-
|2
|12.5%
|Moves with an increased critical hit rate: {{m|Slash}}, {{m|Stone Edge}} etc.
|-
|3
|25%
|Moves used by {{p|Farfetch'd}} with the [[Stat-enhancing item#Stick|Stick]] attached
|-
|4
|33.3%
|Critical hit moves used in combination with {{a|Super Luck}}
|-
|5
|50%
|Critical hit moves used in combination with {{a|Super Luck}} and a [[Razor Claw]] or [[Scope Lens]].
|}

[[Scope Lens]] and [[Razor Claw]] add 1 level each, the [[Stat-enhancing item#Stick|Stick]] adds 2 levels (for {{p|Farfetch'd}} only), {{m|Focus Energy}} adds a level, {{a|Super Luck}} doubles the amount of levels and goes before the items are calculated in. 50% is the cap, no situation reaches above it.

When a move is a critical hit, damage is calculated based on either the modified or unmodified attack and defense stats, whichever is more advantageous to the attacker. For example, an attacker who has used {{m|Swords Dance}} and then makes a critical hit will get the benefit of the increased Attack, while one affected by {{m|Charm}} will use its normal Attack score. Another example would be if a team had {{m|Light Screen}} or {{m|Reflect}} on it and the attacker scored a critical on the team with the certain wall; the defense added by the wall would then be ignored, and will do double normal damage.

==Same-type attack bonus==
{{main|Same-type attack bonus}}
A move used by a Pokémon that is of the same type as the move itself will do 150% of its normal damage, such as a {{type2|Fire}} move used by a Fire-type Pokémon. Dual-typed Pokémon will receive this bonus for both of their types, and a Pokémon whose type can change in-battle will receive the bonus for whatever type they are when they make the move.

==Weather==
{{main|Weather conditions}}
{{type2|Water}} and {{type2|Fire}} moves' damage will be modified by rain and sunshine. If {{m|Rain Dance}} causes a downpour, Water-type moves will do 50% more damage and Fire-type moves will do 50% less damage. If {{m|Sunny Day}} causes harsh sunlight, Fire-type moves will do 50% more damage and Water-type moves will do 50% less damage.

==Abilities==
{{main|Abilities}}
Abilities come in a wide variety, and have various effects on damage modification. These affects range from increasing and decreasing the power of moves of a specific [[type]], granting immunities, and even changing the power of moves affected by other damage modifiers. These abilities include:

*{{a|Blaze}}, {{a|Overgrow}}, {{a|Torrent}} and {{a|Swarm}} increase the power of {{type2|Fire}}, {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Water}} and {{type2|Bug}} moves by 50% when the user's HP falls below 33%, respectively.
*{{a|Thick Fat}} decreases the power of the opponents' Fire-type and Ice-type moves by 50%. {{a|Heatproof}} decreases the power of opponents' Fire-type moves by 50%.
*{{a|Levitate}} provides immunity to {{type2|Ground}} moves, and {{a|Soundproof}} provides immunity to sound-based moves.
*{{a|Volt Absorb}} and {{a|Water Absorb}} grant immunity to {{type2|Electric}} and {{type2|Water}} moves respectively, healing the user's HP by 25% instead.
*{{a|Dry Skin}} works in part like Water Absorb, healing when hit with a {{type2|Water}} move, but it also heals the Pokémon slightly during [[Weather conditions#Heavy rain|rain]]. However, it also causes the Pokémon to receive additional damage from {{type2|Fire}} attacks and receive slight damage during [[Weather conditions#Intense sunlight|sunshine]].
*{{a|Flash Fire}} negates the effect of opponents' Fire-type moves and instead increases the power of the ability's user's own Fire-type attacks. Similarly, {{a|Motor Drive}} negates the effect of opponents' Electric-type moves and instead causes the ability's user's Speed to increase. These abilities include [[status move]]s like {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and {{m|Thunder Wave}}.
*{{a|Mold Breaker}} removes all immunities to the user's moves.
*{{a|Scrappy}} removes {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon's immunity to the {{type2|Normal}} and {{type2|Fighting}} moves of the user.
*{{a|Drizzle}}, {{a|Drought}}, {{a|Sand Stream}} and {{a|Snow Warning}} all cause different weather conditions.
*{{a|Adaptability}} doubles the power of moves of the same type as the user.
*{{a|Hustle}} boosts the power of the user's moves by 50%.
*{{a|Pure Power}} and {{a|Huge Power}} both double the power of the user's [[Physical move|physical attack]]s.
*{{a|Technician}} increases the power of the user's moves with base power 60 or less by 50%.
*{{a|Super Luck}} increases the user's critical hit ratio.
*{{a|Battle Armor}} and {{a|Shell Armor}} block critical hits.
*{{a|Sniper}} increases the power of the user's critical hits.
*{{a|Tinted Lens}} doubles the power of the user's moves that are not very effective.
*{{a|Solid Rock}} and {{a|Filter}} each reduce the power of super effective moves on the ability's user by one third.
*{{a|Wonder Guard}} reduces the power of the opponent's attacks that are not super effective to zero.

Hitmons

2008-11-26T21:04:05Z

Masterdude:

'''Hitmons''' is a fan term used to refer to the three [[evolution]]s of {{p|Tyrogue}} ({{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}). The name comes from the prefix shared by all three Pokémon, ''hitmon''. The Hitmons all have high Attack, high Special Defense, average Defense, average Speed, and low Special Attack. All the Hitmons are male.

== Tyrogue ==
{{main|Tyrogue (Pokémon)}}
Tyrogue is the first Hitmon and a baby form of the other Hitmons. Like others such as Eevee it can evolve into a few different Pokémon. Tyrogue was introduced in [[Generation II]]. Tyrogue originally only learned the attack {{m|Tackle}} by [[level|leveling up]] (but it could learn TM moves) until [[Generation IV]] when it learned {{m|Helping Hand}} and {{m|Fake Out}} as well. In Generation II, Tyrogue is given away by the Karate King in [[Mt. Mortar]] after defeating him. In [[Generation III]], it could be obtained by breeding the evolved Hitmons. In Generation IV, it can be found with the [[Poké Radar]] on [[Route]]s {{rtn|208}} and {{rtn|211}}.

== Hitmonlee ==
{{main|Hitmonlee (Pokémon)}}
Hitmonlee evolves from Tyrogue when Tyrogue's Attack is higher than its Defense. Hitmonlee focuses on kicking moves; it learns the rarely seen {{m|Blaze Kick}} and {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}. In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, Hitmonlee can be chosen as one of the prizes for beating the [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]]. In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, it is obtained by evolving Tyrogue.

== Hitmonchan ==
{{main|Hitmonchan (Pokémon)}}
Hitmonchan evolves from Tyrogue when Tyrogue's Attack is lower than its Defense. Hitmonchan focuses on punch-based moves. In {{v2|Red}}, {{v2|Blue}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, Hitmonchan can be chosen as one of the prizes for beating the [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]]. In {{v2|Gold}}, {{v2|Silver}}, and {{v2|Crystal}}, it is obtained by evolving {{p|Tyrogue}}.

== Hitmontop ==
{{main|Hitmontop (Pokémon)}}
Hitmontop evolves from Tyrogue when Tyrogue's Attack is equal to its Defense. Hitmontop attacks with both feet and hands. It is the [[signature move|only Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Triple Kick}}. In Gold, Silver, Crystal, FireRed, and LeafGreen, Hitmontop is obtained by evolving Tyrogue. In {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, it can be [[snagging|snagged]] from Cipher Peon Skrub.

'''Ditto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

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

Ditto uses the move {{m|Transform}} to copy the opponent's moves, types, form, and non-HP stats. It is sought out for its ability to breed with any Pokémon other than the Pokémon in the {{egg|No eggs}} group, including genderless ones.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
In its natural state, Ditto is a purplish gelatinous blob with vestigial facial features. However, it can take the form of anything.
====Gender differences====
Ditto is a genderless Pokémon.
====Special abilities====
Ditto is capable of {{m|Transform}}ing in to an an exact replica of any other Pokémon (an ability that is also shared with {{p|Mew}}), or indeed any physical object. However, if Ditto tries to transform into something based on memory, it may get some of the details wrong. Ditto will also be unable to remain in a transformed state if it starts laughing. Frequently, a Ditto appears that can't transform its face. This fact is seen in the anime, as well as in [[Pokémon Snap]] (in which several Ditto are transformed into {{p|Bulbasaur}}), and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] (in which, during the [[Veilstone Game Corner|Game Corner]] [[slot machine]] game, a {{p|Clefairy}} with a Ditto's face will occasionally appear instead of a real Clefairy). In rare cases it will lack the ability to increase or decrease in size, thus rather than creating exact duplicates, it will create (usually) miniature versions. Ditto can not mimic the strength of another Pokémon. Ditto's ability to breed with any non-legendary Pokémon is also useful for creating Pokémon eggs of the more rare Pokémon that it may be difficult to get a mate for, such as the [[starter Pokémon]].

===Behavior===
Ditto's primary defense mechanism is its ability to rearrange its cellular structure. This permits it to transform into essentially any other physical object. When two Ditto meet in the wild, they will attempt to transform into each other. This tendency makes Ditto a unique Pokémon in battle, as it will adapt the form and abilities of its foe. Ditto is best able to transform into something if it has a model to work from. Although Ditto can transform via memory, it has a tendency to forget important details, particularly with its foe's face.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Ditto live in very diverse habitats, the most common being caves and forested areas. However, Ditto are never far from civilization or people. There have even been sightings of Ditto in places such as the Pokémon Mansion.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:DittosMysteriousMansion.gif|right|thumb|[[Ash's Pikachu]] with [[Duplica's Ditto]].]]
Ditto first appeared in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''. [[Duplica]] and her {{TP|Duplica|Ditto}} used to perform for people, but the two hadn't had an audience since people saw that Ditto couldn't change its face. Ditto fixed that problem near the end of the episode, when captured by [[Team Rocket]].

In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', [[Drake (Orange Islands)|Drake]] of the [[Orange Islands]] owns a Ditto and uses it to fight [[Ash's Pikachu]]. After the battle with Drake's Ditto, Pikachu came out the victor.

Duplica found another Ditto sometime before ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'' that she named [[Mini-Dit]]. This second Ditto could transform into an exact mirror image of anything, but it couldn't change its size.

Ditto was also owned by a member of [[Team Magma]] named [[Brodie]], who debuted in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]''. A Ditto suited Brodie well because he ''is'' a master of disguise.

==In the manga==
Ditto is one of the members on {{Special|Blue}}'s team in [[Pokémon Special]]. As a master of transformation, Blue uses Ditto extensively in her schemes, such as morphing over her face to disguise her appearance, camouflaging into its background for subterfuge, as well as forming a protective shield with Blue's umbrella.

Ditto is seen later used by [[Team Rocket]], to lure {{Special|Crystal}} and [[Eusine]] away from {{p|Suicune}}, and smother them when discovered. It was, however, defeated by Crystal's {{p|Hitmonchan}}.

Duplica and her Ditto are seen in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Finding Ditto appealing, [[Misty]] decides to capture one of her own, but the plan is called off when {{p|Pikachu}} goes missing. Ditto also featured in a minicomic in which it transforms into {{Ash}}, harasses Misty and thereby getting Ash into a lot of pain.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[Image:Ditto Melee.png|right|thumb|A screenshot of Ditto in Melee.]]
Ditto was originally intended to be one of the Pokémon randomly released from a [[Poké Ball]]. It would have transformed into a copy of the user's character and aided them in battle. However, processing problems forced its removal before the game's release. Ditto can be still be unlocked through the debug menu (which is only accessible through the use of Action Replay), though it does not do anything other than give 7-8% damage to those who touch it.

As for its official status, Ditto only appears as a random trophy and as a cameo in the Tournament Mode menu. In Winner Out or Loser Out tournaments, holding down L and R and pressing A will give the player a random character and color. The usual character image will instead be taken by a picture of Ditto.

====Trophy information====
Every Ditto has the ability to copy a Pokémon's entire cell structure in an instant and become its exact replica. They're terrible at remembering techniques, but when they use {{M|Transform}}, they temporarily learn all of their foe's moves. If a Ditto starts to laugh, it weakens and can't hold its transformation.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*[[Pokémon Trozei!]]: Ditto serves as a "wild card", meaning it can Trozei with any Pokémon and must be used to get rid of Jammer Balls. One will appear when a Trozei is made with more Pokémon than necessary and multiple appear at the beginning of a new round in Endless and Forever mode to clear out the remaining Pokémon.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Ditto is found in many dungeons. In a complete twist from its previous appearance in Trozei, in this game it is quite useless. While Transform gives the user the appearance of a random Pokémon found on the current floor, it does not copy the opponent's moves or stats. In addition, it only has 1 PP, allowing only one use per dungeon without restoring items. After using Transform, Ditto's only options are to {{M|struggle}} or use the basic tackle attack exclusive to Mystery Dungeon.

==Trivia==
* Ditto's in-game cry is very similar to that of {{p|Poliwag}}.
* Ditto is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 35.
* Ditto and {{p|Manaphy}} are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed yet unobtainable through breeding.
* According to some fans, the reason why Ditto can breed with any [[Pokémon]] is because it can take the other Pokémon's form (by using {{m|Transform}}). This has stemmed a lot of jokes on Ditto.
**It is sometimes referred to on forums as the "Pimp of Pokémon".
*Ditto is one of the few [[Generation I]] non-legendary Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Lapras}}.
*In {{g|Snap}}, Ditto take the form of {{p|Bulbasaur}} towards the end of the game. The player can cause them to return to their Ditto form by hitting them with an object. When the player takes their picture, Professor Oak treats the photo as that of a real Bulbasaur, although Ditto has the same eyes when it is transformed as when it is not. This trait is shared by a Ditto in the {{pkmn|anime}}, although it was understood in the anime that this was not normal.
*Ditto shares its name with an alien in Ben 10.
===Glitches===
Ditto has been closely associated with several [[Glitch|Pokémon glitches]]. When an [['M]] is captured in the Red and Blue versions, the trainer will still be in battle and an invisible Ditto will be where 'M once was. Additionally, Ditto is a necessary Pokémon for carrying out Method #3 of the [[Mew Glitch]], a glitch capable of allowing the player to run into any Pokémon or any glitch Pokémon ([http://www.trsrockin.com/hexlist.html]). Furthermore, if a glitch involving a Ditto's {{m|Transform}} is performed, it will learn the {{m2|Cooltrainer|Cooltrainer move}}.

In [[Generation IV]], more glitches involving Ditto's transformation have been discovered. In the original Japanese {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, a Ditto using Transform during a battle can duplicate the Pokémon's [[held item]] as well as its species, allowing rare items to be duplicated. Additionally, another glitch allows it to Transform and then keep the moveset of the Pokémon it became permanently, allowing it to pass down previously impossible [[egg move]] combinations to ''any'' Pokémon in a large-scale version of {{p|Smeargle}}'s ability to do this with any {{egg2|Ground}} Pokémon by way of {{m|Sketch}}.
===The Transform paradox===
If Ditto (or another Pokémon with only {{m|Transform}}) faces another Pokémon with Transform in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle where neither Trainer has any items and no Pokémon besides the Pokémon with Transform, the battle will never end. This is because when Transform is used, the Pokémon will turn into its opponent, resulting in a Transform moveset of, again, only Transform. Since every time Transform is used, it gives the Pokémon using it the target's moveset with 5 [[PP]] each, Transform will continue to Transform into itself, restoring the PP every time it is used. Due to this, one will never reach a point where it can only use {{m|Struggle}}, unlike what is the case with {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}}. This is likely why no Trainers have Ditto in the Generation IV games, except in the {{si|Battle Tower}}, where one can always retire.

===Origin===
Ditto strongly resembles an {{wp|amoeba}}, a single-celled organism with no definate shape. This may emphasize its ability to alter its cellular compostion. This could also explain why Ditto is unavailable through breeding, since single-celled organisms reproduce differently from multi-cellular plants and animals.
====Name origin====
A ''ditto'' is a substitute for repeating what was previously written or said. Ditto's Japanese name is a combination of ''{{wp|metamorph}}'', ''monster'', and possibly ''transformation'', while its French name is a corruption of the word ''{{wp|metamorph}}''.

*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Metamorph

'''Ditto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

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

Ditto uses the move {{m|Transform}} to copy the opponent's moves, types, form, and non-HP stats. It is sought out for its ability to breed with any Pokémon other than the Pokémon in the {{egg|No eggs}} group, including genderless ones.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
In its natural state, Ditto is a purplish gelatinous blob with vestigial facial features. However, it can take the form of anything.
====Gender differences====
Ditto is a genderless Pokémon.
====Special abilities====
Ditto is capable of {{m|Transform}}ing in to an an exact replica of any other Pokémon (an ability that is also shared with {{p|Mew}}), or indeed any physical object. However, if Ditto tries to transform into something based on memory, it may get some of the details wrong. Ditto will also be unable to remain in a transformed state if it starts laughing. Frequently, a Ditto appears that can't transform its face. This fact is seen in the anime, as well as in [[Pokémon Snap]] (in which several Ditto are transformed into {{p|Bulbasaur}}), and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] (in which, during the [[Veilstone Game Corner|Game Corner]] [[slot machine]] game, a {{p|Clefairy}} with a Ditto's face will occasionally appear instead of a real Clefairy). In rare cases it will lack the ability to increase or decrease in size, thus rather than creating exact duplicates, it will create (usually) miniature versions. Ditto can not mimic the strength of another Pokémon. Ditto's ability to breed with any non-legendary Pokémon is also useful for creating Pokémon eggs of the more rare Pokémon that it may be difficult to get a mate for, such as the [[starter Pokémon]].

===Behavior===
Ditto's primary defense mechanism is its ability to rearrange its cellular structure. This permits it to transform into essentially any other physical object. When two Ditto meet in the wild, they will attempt to transform into each other. This tendency makes Ditto a unique Pokémon in battle, as it will adapt the form and abilities of its foe. Ditto is best able to transform into something if it has a model to work from. Although Ditto can transform via memory, it has a tendency to forget important details, particularly with its foe's face.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Ditto live in very diverse habitats, the most common being caves and forested areas. However, Ditto are never far from civilization or people. There have even been sightings of Ditto in places such as the Pokémon Mansion.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:DittosMysteriousMansion.gif|right|thumb|[[Ash's Pikachu]] with [[Duplica's Ditto]].]]
Ditto first appeared in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''. [[Duplica]] and her {{TP|Duplica|Ditto}} used to perform for people, but the two hadn't had an audience since people saw that Ditto couldn't change its face. Ditto fixed that problem near the end of the episode, when captured by [[Team Rocket]].

In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', [[Drake (Orange Islands)|Drake]] of the [[Orange Islands]] owns a Ditto and uses it to fight [[Ash's Pikachu]]. After the battle with Drake's Ditto, Pikachu came out the victor.

Duplica found another Ditto sometime before ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'' that she named [[Mini-Dit]]. This second Ditto could transform into an exact mirror image of anything, but it couldn't change its size.

Ditto was also owned by a member of [[Team Magma]] named [[Brodie]], who debuted in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]''. A Ditto suited Brodie well because he ''is'' a master of disguise.

==In the manga==
Ditto is one of the members on {{Special|Blue}}'s team in [[Pokémon Special]]. As a master of transformation, Blue uses Ditto extensively in her schemes, such as morphing over her face to disguise her appearance, camouflaging into its background for subterfuge, as well as forming a protective shield with Blue's umbrella.

Ditto is seen later used by [[Team Rocket]], to lure {{Special|Crystal}} and [[Eusine]] away from {{p|Suicune}}, and smother them when discovered. It was, however, defeated by Crystal's {{p|Hitmonchan}}.

Duplica and her Ditto are seen in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Finding Ditto appealing, [[Misty]] decides to capture one of her own, but the plan is called off when {{p|Pikachu}} goes missing. Ditto also featured in a minicomic in which it transforms into {{Ash}}, harasses Misty and thereby getting Ash into a lot of pain.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[Image:Ditto Melee.png|right|thumb|A screenshot of Ditto in Melee.]]
Ditto was originally intended to be one of the Pokémon randomly released from a [[Poké Ball]]. It would have transformed into a copy of the user's character and aided them in battle. However, processing problems forced its removal before the game's release. Ditto can be still be unlocked through the debug menu (which is only accessible through the use of Action Replay), though it does not do anything other than give 7-8% damage to those who touch it.

As for its official status, Ditto only appears as a random trophy and as a cameo in the Tournament Mode menu. In Winner Out or Loser Out tournaments, holding down L and R and pressing A will give the player a random character and color. The usual character image will instead be taken by a picture of Ditto.

====Trophy information====
Every Ditto has the ability to copy a Pokémon's entire cell structure in an instant and become its exact replica. They're terrible at remembering techniques, but when they use {{M|Transform}}, they temporarily learn all of their foe's moves. If a Ditto starts to laugh, it weakens and can't hold its transformation.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*[[Pokémon Trozei!]]: Ditto serves as a "wild card", meaning it can Trozei with any Pokémon and must be used to get rid of Jammer Balls. One will appear when a Trozei is made with more Pokémon than necessary and multiple appear at the beginning of a new round in Endless and Forever mode to clear out the remaining Pokémon.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Ditto is found in many dungeons. In a complete twist from its previous appearance in Trozei, in this game it is quite useless. While Transform gives the user the appearance of a random Pokémon found on the current floor, it does not copy the opponent's moves or stats. In addition, it only has 1 PP, allowing only one use per dungeon without restoring items. After using Transform, Ditto's only options are to {{M|struggle}} or use the basic tackle attack exclusive to Mystery Dungeon.

==Trivia==
* Ditto's in-game cry is very similar to that of {{p|Poliwag}}.
* Ditto is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 35.
* Ditto and {{p|Manaphy}} are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed yet unobtainable through breeding.
* According to some fans, the reason why Ditto can breed with any [[Pokémon]] is because it can take the other Pokémon's form (by using {{m|Transform}}). This has stemmed a lot of jokes on Ditto.
**It is sometimes referred to on forums as the "Pimp of Pokémon".
*Ditto is one of the few [[Generation I]] non-legendary Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Lapras}}.
*In {{g|Snap}}, Ditto take the form of {{p|Bulbasaur}} towards the end of the game. The player can cause them to return to their Ditto form by hitting them with an object. When the player takes their picture, Professor Oak treats the photo as that of a real Bulbasaur, although Ditto has the same eyes when it is transformed as when it is not. This trait is shared by a Ditto in the {{pkmn|anime}}, although it was understood in the anime that this was not normal.
===Glitches===
Ditto has been closely associated with several [[Glitch|Pokémon glitches]]. When an [['M]] is captured in the Red and Blue versions, the trainer will still be in battle and an invisible Ditto will be where 'M once was. Additionally, Ditto is a necessary Pokémon for carrying out Method #3 of the [[Mew Glitch]], a glitch capable of allowing the player to run into any Pokémon or any glitch Pokémon ([http://www.trsrockin.com/hexlist.html]). Furthermore, if a glitch involving a Ditto's {{m|Transform}} is performed, it will learn the {{m2|Cooltrainer|Cooltrainer move}}.

In [[Generation IV]], more glitches involving Ditto's transformation have been discovered. In the original Japanese {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, a Ditto using Transform during a battle can duplicate the Pokémon's [[held item]] as well as its species, allowing rare items to be duplicated. Additionally, another glitch allows it to Transform and then keep the moveset of the Pokémon it became permanently, allowing it to pass down previously impossible [[egg move]] combinations to ''any'' Pokémon in a large-scale version of {{p|Smeargle}}'s ability to do this with any {{egg2|Ground}} Pokémon by way of {{m|Sketch}}.

If Ditto (or another Pokémon with only {{m|Transform}}) faces another Pokémon with Transform in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle where neither Trainer has any items and no Pokémon besides the Pokémon with Transform, the battle will never end. This is because when Transform is used, the Pokémon will turn into its opponent, resulting in a Transform moveset of, again, only Transform. Since every time Transform is used, it gives the Pokémon using it the target's moveset with 5 [[PP]] each, Transform will continue to Transform into itself, restoring the PP every time it is used. Due to this, one will never reach a point where it can only use {{m|Struggle}}, unlike what is the case with {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}}. This is likely why no Trainers have Ditto in the Generation IV games, except in the {{si|Battle Tower}}, where one can always retire.

===Origin===
Ditto strongly resembles an {{wp|amoeba}}, a single-celled organism with no definate shape. This may emphasize its ability to alter its cellular compostion. This could also explain why Ditto is unavailable through breeding, since single-celled organisms reproduce differently from multi-cellular plants and animals.
====Name origin====
A ''ditto'' is a substitute for repeating what was previously written or said. Ditto's Japanese name is a combination of ''{{wp|metamorph}}'', ''monster'', and possibly ''transformation'', while its French name is a corruption of the word ''{{wp|metamorph}}''.

Quick note, at the top of the page it still says 6 tiers when there's only 4. [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] 09:40, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

I have a lot of experience Competitive Battling, in both OU and UU environments. Please take my suggestions into consideration. I am most concerned with the difference between certain Pokémon as UU or higher.

Tentacruel needs to move up, out of UU. It is too good for UU, a powerful Special wall with a nice SPD and SpA stat to back it up. It's very difficult for a UU to KO Tentacruel with Special, much like it's near impossible for an OU to KO a Blissey with Special. However a Blissey-like Pokémon in UU is not desirable, the common counter for Blissey being mixed sweepers and mixed sweepers being rare and considerably weaker in UU. And the fact that it outclasses basically every other potential UU special wall warrants its promotion out of UU. Some sites put it at OU, I personally would say BL, either way I don't mind but it should not stay in UU.

I have a huge list of BLs that should be UU, so please bear with me. With all of these I am not saying they suck, if it sounds that way don't take it that way, I'm just saying how they fit into UU.

Aggron, Articuno, Bastiodon, Blastoise, Blaziken, Cloyster, Dewgong, Drifblim, Exeggutor, Golduck, Golem, Hitmontop, Hitmonchan, Kabutops, Kingler, Lanturn, Lapras, Nidoking, Ninetales, Omastar, Probopass, Walrein.

Tbh, I have no idea why half of these are in the BL list. I'll start with these - Aggron, Probopass and Bastiodon. Their unfortunate type combination makes them 4x weak to Ground and Fighting, two of the most predominant physical attacking types. Consider that many physical attackers carry either Close Combat or Earthquake, or in absence of Close Combat, Brick Break or Superpower, and any of these moves is an almost guaranteed OHKO. This hurts even more when the 3 Pokémon's stats basically only allow them to work as physical walls or physical tanks.

Lanturn, Nidoking, Omastar, Dewgong, Kingler, Golduck and Golem I hope I don't have to explain. I will make a quick note that it makes no sense for Nidoking to be BL when Nidoqueen is UU, considering Nidoqueen is widely considered better and actually gets used occasionally.

Omastar and Kabutops fall under the same category so I'll explain them next. Again, their weakness to Fighting AND Ground hurts, but it doesn't help that they're also weak to Electric which is possibly the most common special attacking type along with Ice. They have potential as Rain Dance sweepers, yes, but that's about it since they're both certainly not doing any physical walling with their only other good stat, due to the aforementioned weaknesses in the physical area.

Cloyster has huge DEF but no reliable recovery move and not enough HP to support it. It is a DEF wall, but nothing too strong for UU like Bronzong or Skarmory. And once again, it's weakness to Fighting damages its capability a bit, as well as weakness to Rock this time which is just as common a physical type and, gives 1/4 HP damage from Stealth Rock.

Walrein and Lapras both have good stats all round but don't excel in anything. Well, Walrein excels at tanking in Hail, but that requires continuous hail which is only possible in UU by Snover. Both Pokémon have a weakness to Rock, Fighting and Electric, very common attacking types on the physical and special end of the spectrum, and they take 1/4 HP from Stealth Rock. They also lacking a reliable recovery move to support their wall stats.

Being Legendary, one would immediately call me insane to put Articuno in UU. But actually look at Articuno, think about it, and you'll realise. Straight off it has a 4x weakness to Stealth Rock. Its offensive movepool is tiny - the special end conisisting entirely of Ice Beam/Blizzard, Air Cutter, Hidden Power, Signal Beam and Extrasensory (from XD). The physical end is equally pathetic if not more so, with only Aerial Ace or Ice Shard for STAB then U-Turn and Return. It's supportive capabilities are slightly more promising, with Reflect, Light Screen, Haze and Heal Bell (last two from XD). With Roost, that's seriously all it can do, or Toxistall. Not very threatening.

I'd say more but I've written enough for now. Maybe later. Please take what I've said into consideration. [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] 07:14, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

OK I've got some more to say. What on Earth is Claydol doing in OU. It can drop down to UU no problem - UUs can handle it, it's defensive but not overly so due to poor HP, and it is nowhere near good enough for OU. It lacks a reliable recovery move and has an Ice weakness. It doesn't shine as a special attacker and it doesn't have a big enough DEF & HP combined for Calm Mind without reliable recovery.

I'll write a nice big post about why Garchomp is Uber soon.

Not that it honestly matters, but Sudowoodo and Bibarel can safely move up to UU. Sudowoodo is actually quite a decent UU with some unique options, while Bibarel has access to Curse now and it can seriously become quite threatening. For example, it can get both defensive stats at 450+ after one use of Curse and one use of Amnesia, which also raises ATK to 400+. Waterfall/Return combination has never looked better when both get STAB, with only Empoleon resisting both. [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] 08:19, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

::Mr Black, you have my thanks. I've been begging for updates for ages but to no avail. I agree on everything you've said so far (with only the possible exception of Blaziken) and this thing really needs work.

::I have no freaking clue what Claydol is doing in OU. He's UU, sure, he's a top-quality UU, but he certainly should never be higher than BL.

==Garchomp Uber?==
I'll say that Garchomp should be in the Borderline tier. I can OHKO a Garchomp with an Ice Beam easily.
Yeah well I can due that to dragonite and salamence but without ice beam their good, doesn't matter what you can do.

:My god. If you think Garchomp is BL, you are freaking retarded. I don't mean to be rude, but he's been known as one of the most devastatingly fearsome OUs since D/P came out, and now he's considered to powerful for OU and Smogon moved him up to Uber. 
:The fact is, a Pokémon can't be considered weak just because it has one compound weakness. The vast majority of Pokémon actually do have one (think Scizor, one of the most popular Pokémon in the game right now.) Also, nearly all Garchomps carried Yache berries, meaning they can take an Ice Beam and KO you due to those powerful moves and a massive Attack stat. It was way too common for Garchomp sweeps to decide the outcome of a battle, so Smogon banned him. They did their research, too, it wasn't a hasty decision. They spent upwards of a month battling without him to see how the metagame would change, and his disappearance changed everything.

I have made my own. I would be more than happy for this site to use it. But if they don't want to, I'll have to stick with helping out this one.

Quote: 'take it to the forums for discussion'

Well I assumed I could discuss it on the page called 'Discussion'

And the idea of a good tier list IS one based on fact not opinion.

::Thank you. Sorry for the outburst but I got tired of this crap in brawl.[[User:Shadow1337|Shadow1337]] 01:16, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
:::i know what you mean. any Brawl character can destroy another, it depends on whos holding the controller. also is ti say that my UU Kingler can destroy an OU T-tar. but, you also have to realize that for the most part, its based on how often its used. thusly, over-'''used'''. but either way, this sort of stuff isnt useful on a wiki.

==Awaiting deletion==

A [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=31749 discussion] has been raised by Mr. Black on the forums; practically all the participants are now of the opinion that the tier lists do not belong in Bulbapedia. My stance on the subject is expressed in [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showpost.php?p=645239&postcount=45 this post]. Argy and I are the only editorial board members to have voiced our opinions so far, but we both agree that the tiers lists should be replaced with detailed explanations of the six different tiers, their merit and possibly a collection of links to established lists.

This is now a matter to be decided by the editorial board. However, those of you who feel that the lists should not be removed, are welcome to raise their points either here or in the specified forum thread. Be aware that the arguments in favor of removing the lists are quite compelling, so unless you can come up with equally good points, it is only a matter of time before the final decision is made to dispense with the tiers. --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 12:17, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
:I think more important than the fact that people don't come to Bulbapedia to see tiers is that having such a subjective list on this site will be too unmanageable. If we do become a resource for battling, we would have many, many people complaining about how this subjective list is not subjected to their own subjective views. --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] 06:33, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

==overused?==
How could {{p|Regice}} be in the Overused tier when {{p|Regigigas}} is not?!
I do think {{p|Empoleon}} belongs in the Overused tier. {{unsigned|Masterdude}}
:Regigigas ability makes it horrible. That's why it's not OU. Regice is OU because it is the best Special wall in the game; after one {{m|Amnesia}}, it isn't even 3HKO'd by super effective Special attacks. <big>[[user:chocolate|Cho]][[user talk:chocolate|col]][[special:contributions/chocolate|ate]]</big> 22:30, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::Then what about Physical Attacks like Flare Blitz?- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Masterdude|Masterdude]] ([[User talk:Masterdude|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Masterdude|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''
:::seriously, empoleon, tortera and infernape are so OU. ~Masterdude~
::::Physical attacks also won't do much to a Pokémon with 100 base {{stat|Defense}}. Just think about it. Regice has 80 base {{stat|HP}}, 50 base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Speed}}, 100 base Defense and {{stat|Special Attack}}, and a colossal 200 base {{stat|Special Defense}}. I think it's safe to say that Regice is OU. <big>[[user:chocolate|Cho]][[user talk:chocolate|col]][[special:contributions/chocolate|ate]]</big> 01:00, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
But I say that Regigigas is a definite OU if you use it properly in double battles.Just remove its ability with Gastro Acid or Skill Swap and Regigigas is back in action.

== Suggestion ==

Why not change this page to list different tier lists from prominent websites such as Smogon? Then, we wouldn't have people bitching about how it's done on this talk page, but rather they'd have to bitch about it on the website in question. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno.

==Empoleon==
I really think Empoleon belongs to the Overused tier due to its major resistances, 1 immunity, not effected by sandstorm and resists stealth rock. Also adding its super special attack stat makes this pokemon worthy of being OU. [[User:Masterdude|Masterdude]] 21:28, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

===Name origin===
*Stunky's name comes from the words ''{{wp|skunk}}'' or "stunk" and ''stinky''. Skunpoo's name comes from the words ''skunk'' and ''pyoo'', which is what someone says when something stinks. Its French name, Moufouette, comes from {{tt|moufette|striped skunk}}.

==Trivia==
*Despite being based off a striped species of skunk, Stunky sprays from a handstand like a Spotted Skunk.
* It is a surprise that skunks can {{m|explode|Explosion}}.

==Origin==
It is based on a {{wp|skunk}}, likely a Hognosed Skunk.
===Name origin===
*Stunky's name comes from the words ''{{wp|skunk}}'' or "stunk" and ''stinky''. Skunpoo's name comes from the words ''skunk'' and ''pyoo'', which is what someone says when something stinks. Its French name, Moufouette, comes from {{tt|moufette|striped skunk}}.

'''Alan''' (Japanese: '''アツオ''' ''Atsuo'') is a [[Character of the day|one-time character]] of the {{pkmn|anime}} that appeared in ''[[DP058|Nosing 'Round The Mountain!]]''. His Japanese voice actress is 沢海陽子 ''[[Yōko Sōmi]]'' and his English voice actor is [[Sean Schemmel]].

He met with {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} while they were passing through [[Mt. Coronet]]. His dream was to [[evolve]] his {{p|Nosepass}}, which became true.

Alan appeared in a flashback in [[DP093]] where it was revealed that he challenged [[Fantina]]. He lost the first match with his Nosepass but was able to defeat her with his newly evolved {{p|Probopass}}.

Alan's Probopass is the only Pokémon to not disappear after using {{m|Explosion}}. However, the Probopass may have used {{m|Selfdestruct}} since Pokémon using Selfdestruct does not disappear in the anime.

----
'''Stats''', short for '''statistics''', determine certain aspects of {{pkmn|battle}}s in the {{pkmn|games}}. More specifically, stats may also refer to the numerical values of each field in regards to individual Pokémon.

==List of stats==
===Permanent stats===
====Hit Points====
'''Hit Points''', or '''HP''' for short, determine how much damage a Pokémon can receive before [[faint]]ing. It is the most visible of the stats in battle, appearing both graphically (as a bar that is green, yellow, or red depending on how much HP is left) and as a current/total amount below the bar. Currently {{P|Blissey}} holds the honor of having the highest HP among all the Pokémon in the game.

====Attack====
The '''Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[physical move]]. {{p|Slaking}} currently holds the honor of having the highest attack stat among all the Pokémon.

====Defense====
The '''Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a physical move. {{P|Shuckle}} currently holds the highest defense among all the Pokémon in the game.

====Special====
The '''Special''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon both receives and deals in regards to [[special move]]s. The Special stat was divided into Special Attack and Special Defense in terms of [[base stats]] in [[Generation II]], and further divided in terms of [[IV]]s and [[EV]]s in [[Generation III]].
=====Special Attack=====
The '''Special Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[special move]].

=====Special Defense=====
The '''Special Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a special move. Shuckle also holds the honor of having the highest Special Defense among all the Pokémon.

====Speed====
The '''Speed''' stat determines how quickly a Pokémon can act in battle. Pokémon with higher speed will make a [[move]] before ones with lower speed under normal conditions. {{p|Deoxys}} Speed-Form currently holds the honor of having the highest Speed among all the Pokémon.

===In-battle Stats===
====Evasion====
The '''Evasion''' stat determines how much percent chance an opponent's move will have of missing. Initial value at the start of any battle is 0%.
====Accuracy====
The '''Accuracy''' stat determines how much percent chance an attacker's move will have of hitting. Initial value at the start of any battle is 100%.

==Determination of stats==
===Base stats===
A Pokémon's [[base stats]] will most often have the greatest influence over their specific stats at any level. Disregarding individual values, effort values, and Nature, a level 100 Pokémon's stats in Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense will be exactly 5 more than double its base stats in each, while the HP stat will be 10 more than the Pokémon's level plus double the base stat (except in the case of {{p|Shedinja}}, whose HP is always 1).

For a list of Pokémon by their base stat values, see the [[list of Pokémon by base stats]].

===Level===
{{main|Level}}
When a Pokémon grows a level, its stats will increase. For each level gained (ignoring nature), stats will increase by 1/50 the base stat value, and 1/100 combined individual value and effort value. This means that there is no possible way, through leveling up, for a Pokémon to ever ''lose'' points in a stat unless it evolves into a Pokémon with a lower base stat value for that specific stat.

===Nature===
{{main|Nature}}
Most natures enhance the growth of one stat, while hindering the growth of another. After all other calculations are finished, the stat that the nature enhances will be 110% of what it would be without the nature, and the stat hindered will be 90% of its normal value.

===Individual values===
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values cause two Pokémon of the same species to have different stats. Between generations there are different manners of determining them.

===Effort values===
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values are what cause a trained Pokémon to have higher stats than an untrained counterpart of the same level. For every 4 EVs gained, a level 100 Pokémon will have 1 extra point in its stats.

===Formula===
The stat is rounded down if the result is a decimal.

'''HP Stat''' = <big>'''('''</big>'''('''IV + 2 * Base + (EV/4)''')''' * Level/100<big>''')'''</big> + 10 + Level

'''Other Stats''' = <big><big>[</big></big><big>'''('''</big>'''('''IV + 2 * Base + (EV/4)''')''' * Level/100<big>''')'''</big> + 5<big><big>]</big></big> * Nature

==Stat modifiers==
Some [[move]]s and [[Ability|abilities]] can change stats during battle, raising them and lowering them as part of the effect. Some [[items]] are made that will also do this.

In-battle stat modifers multiply specific stats by a certain amount, meaning that a higher starting stat will have a bigger change. For each stat, there are six stages of increase, and six stages of decrease. The stages are cumulative: adding a stage of increase, and then a stage of decrease, results in no net change to the stat. The six stages of increase are x1.5, x2.0, x2.5, x3.0, x3.5, and x4.0. The six stages of decrease are 2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3, 2/7, and 1/4.

Some modifiers, such as {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}, do not work with the above stages, and thus can stack on top of them. For example, a Pokémon with Pure Power and six stages of increase would have eight times its normal attack.

During a {{m|Sandstorm}}, all {{t|Rock}} Pokémon gain 50% Special Defense, which does not work with stages.

All stat modifiers listed below except the [[vitamin]]s will increase the corresponding stats only for the battle that they are used in. [[Vitamin]]s increase the corresponding stats permanently.

Stat

Masterdude: /* Speed */

:'''''HP''' redirects here. For the move commonly referred to in competitive battling as "HP", see {{m|Hidden Power}}. For the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] set commonly abbreviated as "HP," see {{TCG| EX Holon Phantoms}}.''
----
'''Stats''', short for '''statistics''', determine certain aspects of {{pkmn|battle}}s in the {{pkmn|games}}. More specifically, stats may also refer to the numerical values of each field in regards to individual Pokémon.

==List of stats==
===Permanent stats===
====Hit Points====
'''Hit Points''', or '''HP''' for short, determine how much damage a Pokémon can receive before [[faint]]ing. It is the most visible of the stats in battle, appearing both graphically (as a bar that is green, yellow, or red depending on how much HP is left) and as a current/total amount below the bar. Currently {{P|Blissey}} holds the honor of having the highest HP among all the Pokémon in the game.

====Attack====
The '''Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[physical move]]. {{p|Slaking}} currently holds the honor of having the highest attack stat among all the Pokémon.

====Defense====
The '''Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a physical move. {{P|Shuckle}} currently holds the highest defense among all the Pokémon in the game.

====Special====
The '''Special''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon both receives and deals in regards to [[special move]]s. The Special stat was divided into Special Attack and Special Defense in terms of [[base stats]] in [[Generation II]], and further divided in terms of [[IV]]s and [[EV]]s in [[Generation III]].
=====Special Attack=====
The '''Special Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[special move]].

=====Special Defense=====
The '''Special Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a special move. Shuckle also holds the honor of having the highest Special Defense among all the Pokémon.

====Speed====
The '''Speed''' stat determines how quickly a Pokémon can act in battle. Pokémon with higher speed will make a [[move]] before ones with lower speed under normal conditions. {{p|Deoxys}}speed-form currently holds the highest speed among all the Pokémon.

===In-battle Stats===
====Evasion====
The '''Evasion''' stat determines how much percent chance an opponent's move will have of missing. Initial value at the start of any battle is 0%.
====Accuracy====
The '''Accuracy''' stat determines how much percent chance an attacker's move will have of hitting. Initial value at the start of any battle is 100%.

==Determination of stats==
===Base stats===
A Pokémon's [[base stats]] will most often have the greatest influence over their specific stats at any level. Disregarding individual values, effort values, and Nature, a level 100 Pokémon's stats in Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense will be exactly 5 more than double its base stats in each, while the HP stat will be 10 more than the Pokémon's level plus double the base stat (except in the case of {{p|Shedinja}}, whose HP is always 1).

For a list of Pokémon by their base stat values, see the [[list of Pokémon by base stats]].

===Level===
{{main|Level}}
When a Pokémon grows a level, its stats will increase. For each level gained (ignoring nature), stats will increase by 1/50 the base stat value, and 1/100 combined individual value and effort value. This means that there is no possible way, through leveling up, for a Pokémon to ever ''lose'' points in a stat unless it evolves into a Pokémon with a lower base stat value for that specific stat.

===Nature===
{{main|Nature}}
Most natures enhance the growth of one stat, while hindering the growth of another. After all other calculations are finished, the stat that the nature enhances will be 110% of what it would be without the nature, and the stat hindered will be 90% of its normal value.

===Individual values===
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values cause two Pokémon of the same species to have different stats. Between generations there are different manners of determining them.

===Effort values===
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values are what cause a trained Pokémon to have higher stats than an untrained counterpart of the same level. For every 4 EVs gained, a level 100 Pokémon will have 1 extra point in its stats.

===Formula===
The stat is rounded down if the result is a decimal.

'''HP Stat''' = <big>'''('''</big>'''('''IV + 2 * Base + (EV/4)''')''' * Level/100<big>''')'''</big> + 10 + Level

'''Other Stats''' = <big><big>[</big></big><big>'''('''</big>'''('''IV + 2 * Base + (EV/4)''')''' * Level/100<big>''')'''</big> + 5<big><big>]</big></big> * Nature

==Stat modifiers==
Some [[move]]s and [[Ability|abilities]] can change stats during battle, raising them and lowering them as part of the effect. Some [[items]] are made that will also do this.

In-battle stat modifers multiply specific stats by a certain amount, meaning that a higher starting stat will have a bigger change. For each stat, there are six stages of increase, and six stages of decrease. The stages are cumulative: adding a stage of increase, and then a stage of decrease, results in no net change to the stat. The six stages of increase are x1.5, x2.0, x2.5, x3.0, x3.5, and x4.0. The six stages of decrease are 2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3, 2/7, and 1/4.

Some modifiers, such as {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}, do not work with the above stages, and thus can stack on top of them. For example, a Pokémon with Pure Power and six stages of increase would have eight times its normal attack.

During a {{m|Sandstorm}}, all {{t|Rock}} Pokémon gain 50% Special Defense, which does not work with stages.

All stat modifiers listed below except the [[vitamin]]s will increase the corresponding stats only for the battle that they are used in. [[Vitamin]]s increase the corresponding stats permanently.

Effort values are what cause a trained Pokémon to have higher stats than an untrained counterpart of the same level. For every 4 EVs gained, a level 100 Pokémon will have 1 extra point in its stats.

===Formula===
The stat is rounded down if the result is a decimal.

'''HP Stat''' = <big>'''('''</big>'''('''IV + 2 * Base + (EV/4)''')''' * Level/100<big>''')'''</big> + 10 + Level

'''Other Stats''' = <big><big>[</big></big><big>'''('''</big>'''('''IV + 2 * Base + (EV/4)''')''' * Level/100<big>''')'''</big> + 5<big><big>]</big></big> * Nature

==Stat modifiers==
Some [[move]]s and [[Ability|abilities]] can change stats during battle, raising them and lowering them as part of the effect. Some [[items]] are made that will also do this.

In-battle stat modifers multiply specific stats by a certain amount, meaning that a higher starting stat will have a bigger change. For each stat, there are six stages of increase, and six stages of decrease. The stages are cumulative: adding a stage of increase, and then a stage of decrease, results in no net change to the stat. The six stages of increase are x1.5, x2.0, x2.5, x3.0, x3.5, and x4.0. The six stages of decrease are 2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3, 2/7, and 1/4.

Some modifiers, such as {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}, do not work with the above stages, and thus can stack on top of them. For example, a Pokémon with Pure Power and six stages of increase would have eight times its normal attack.

During a {{m|Sandstorm}}, all {{t|Rock}} Pokémon gain 50% Special Defense, which does not work with stages.

All stat modifiers listed below except the [[vitamin]]s will increase the corresponding stats only for the battle that they are used in. [[Vitamin]]s increase the corresponding stats permanently.

Stat

Masterdude: /* Attack */

:'''''HP''' redirects here. For the move commonly referred to in competitive battling as "HP", see {{m|Hidden Power}}. For the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] set commonly abbreviated as "HP," see {{TCG| EX Holon Phantoms}}.''
----
'''Stats''', short for '''statistics''', determine certain aspects of {{pkmn|battle}}s in the {{pkmn|games}}. More specifically, stats may also refer to the numerical values of each field in regards to individual Pokémon.

==List of stats==
===Permanent stats===
====Hit Points====
'''Hit Points''', or '''HP''' for short, determine how much damage a Pokémon can receive before [[faint]]ing. It is the most visible of the stats in battle, appearing both graphically (as a bar that is green, yellow, or red depending on how much HP is left) and as a current/total amount below the bar. Currently {{P|Blissey}} holds the honor of having the highest HP among all the Pokémon in the game.

====Attack====
The '''Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[physical move]]. {{p|Slaking}} currently holds the honor of having the highest attack stat among all the Pokémon.

====Defense====
The '''Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a physical move.
====Special====
The '''Special''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon both receives and deals in regards to [[special move]]s. The Special stat was divided into Special Attack and Special Defense in terms of [[base stats]] in [[Generation II]], and further divided in terms of [[IV]]s and [[EV]]s in [[Generation III]].
=====Special Attack=====
The '''Special Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[special move]].

=====Special Defense=====
The '''Special Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a special move.
====Speed====
The '''Speed''' stat determines how quickly a Pokémon can act in battle. Pokémon with higher speed will make a [[move]] before ones with lower speed under normal conditions.

===In-battle Stats===
====Evasion====
The '''Evasion''' stat determines how much percent chance an opponent's move will have of missing. Initial value at the start of any battle is 0%.
====Accuracy====
The '''Accuracy''' stat determines how much percent chance an attacker's move will have of hitting. Initial value at the start of any battle is 100%.

==Determination of stats==
===Base stats===
A Pokémon's [[base stats]] will most often have the greatest influence over their specific stats at any level. Disregarding individual values, effort values, and Nature, a level 100 Pokémon's stats in Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense will be exactly 5 more than double its base stats in each, while the HP stat will be 10 more than the Pokémon's level plus double the base stat (except in the case of {{p|Shedinja}}, whose HP is always 1).

For a list of Pokémon by their base stat values, see the [[list of Pokémon by base stats]].

===Level===
{{main|Level}}
When a Pokémon grows a level, its stats will increase. For each level gained (ignoring nature), stats will increase by 1/50 the base stat value, and 1/100 combined individual value and effort value. This means that there is no possible way, through leveling up, for a Pokémon to ever ''lose'' points in a stat unless it evolves into a Pokémon with a lower base stat value for that specific stat.

===Nature===
{{main|Nature}}
Most natures enhance the growth of one stat, while hindering the growth of another. After all other calculations are finished, the stat that the nature enhances will be 110% of what it would be without the nature, and the stat hindered will be 90% of its normal value.

===Individual values===
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values cause two Pokémon of the same species to have different stats. Between generations there are different manners of determining them.

===Effort values===
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values are what cause a trained Pokémon to have higher stats than an untrained counterpart of the same level. For every 4 EVs gained, a level 100 Pokémon will have 1 extra point in its stats.

===Formula===
The stat is rounded down if the result is a decimal.

'''HP Stat''' = <big>'''('''</big>'''('''IV + 2 * Base + (EV/4)''')''' * Level/100<big>''')'''</big> + 10 + Level

'''Other Stats''' = <big><big>[</big></big><big>'''('''</big>'''('''IV + 2 * Base + (EV/4)''')''' * Level/100<big>''')'''</big> + 5<big><big>]</big></big> * Nature

==Stat modifiers==
Some [[move]]s and [[Ability|abilities]] can change stats during battle, raising them and lowering them as part of the effect. Some [[items]] are made that will also do this.

In-battle stat modifers multiply specific stats by a certain amount, meaning that a higher starting stat will have a bigger change. For each stat, there are six stages of increase, and six stages of decrease. The stages are cumulative: adding a stage of increase, and then a stage of decrease, results in no net change to the stat. The six stages of increase are x1.5, x2.0, x2.5, x3.0, x3.5, and x4.0. The six stages of decrease are 2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3, 2/7, and 1/4.

Some modifiers, such as {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}, do not work with the above stages, and thus can stack on top of them. For example, a Pokémon with Pure Power and six stages of increase would have eight times its normal attack.

During a {{m|Sandstorm}}, all {{t|Rock}} Pokémon gain 50% Special Defense, which does not work with stages.

All stat modifiers listed below except the [[vitamin]]s will increase the corresponding stats only for the battle that they are used in. [[Vitamin]]s increase the corresponding stats permanently.

Stat

Masterdude: /* Hit Points */

:'''''HP''' redirects here. For the move commonly referred to in competitive battling as "HP", see {{m|Hidden Power}}. For the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] set commonly abbreviated as "HP," see {{TCG| EX Holon Phantoms}}.''
----
'''Stats''', short for '''statistics''', determine certain aspects of {{pkmn|battle}}s in the {{pkmn|games}}. More specifically, stats may also refer to the numerical values of each field in regards to individual Pokémon.

==List of stats==
===Permanent stats===
====Hit Points====
'''Hit Points''', or '''HP''' for short, determine how much damage a Pokémon can receive before [[faint]]ing. It is the most visible of the stats in battle, appearing both graphically (as a bar that is green, yellow, or red depending on how much HP is left) and as a current/total amount below the bar. Currently {{P|Blissey}} holds the honor of having the highest HP among all the Pokémon in the game.

====Attack====
The '''Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[physical move]].
====Defense====
The '''Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a physical move.
====Special====
The '''Special''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon both receives and deals in regards to [[special move]]s. The Special stat was divided into Special Attack and Special Defense in terms of [[base stats]] in [[Generation II]], and further divided in terms of [[IV]]s and [[EV]]s in [[Generation III]].
=====Special Attack=====
The '''Special Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[special move]].

=====Special Defense=====
The '''Special Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a special move.
====Speed====
The '''Speed''' stat determines how quickly a Pokémon can act in battle. Pokémon with higher speed will make a [[move]] before ones with lower speed under normal conditions.

===In-battle Stats===
====Evasion====
The '''Evasion''' stat determines how much percent chance an opponent's move will have of missing. Initial value at the start of any battle is 0%.
====Accuracy====
The '''Accuracy''' stat determines how much percent chance an attacker's move will have of hitting. Initial value at the start of any battle is 100%.

==Determination of stats==
===Base stats===
A Pokémon's [[base stats]] will most often have the greatest influence over their specific stats at any level. Disregarding individual values, effort values, and Nature, a level 100 Pokémon's stats in Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense will be exactly 5 more than double its base stats in each, while the HP stat will be 10 more than the Pokémon's level plus double the base stat (except in the case of {{p|Shedinja}}, whose HP is always 1).

For a list of Pokémon by their base stat values, see the [[list of Pokémon by base stats]].

===Level===
{{main|Level}}
When a Pokémon grows a level, its stats will increase. For each level gained (ignoring nature), stats will increase by 1/50 the base stat value, and 1/100 combined individual value and effort value. This means that there is no possible way, through leveling up, for a Pokémon to ever ''lose'' points in a stat unless it evolves into a Pokémon with a lower base stat value for that specific stat.

===Nature===
{{main|Nature}}
Most natures enhance the growth of one stat, while hindering the growth of another. After all other calculations are finished, the stat that the nature enhances will be 110% of what it would be without the nature, and the stat hindered will be 90% of its normal value.

===Individual values===
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values cause two Pokémon of the same species to have different stats. Between generations there are different manners of determining them.

===Effort values===
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values are what cause a trained Pokémon to have higher stats than an untrained counterpart of the same level. For every 4 EVs gained, a level 100 Pokémon will have 1 extra point in its stats.

===Formula===
The stat is rounded down if the result is a decimal.

'''HP Stat''' = <big>'''('''</big>'''('''IV + 2 * Base + (EV/4)''')''' * Level/100<big>''')'''</big> + 10 + Level

'''Other Stats''' = <big><big>[</big></big><big>'''('''</big>'''('''IV + 2 * Base + (EV/4)''')''' * Level/100<big>''')'''</big> + 5<big><big>]</big></big> * Nature

==Stat modifiers==
Some [[move]]s and [[Ability|abilities]] can change stats during battle, raising them and lowering them as part of the effect. Some [[items]] are made that will also do this.

In-battle stat modifers multiply specific stats by a certain amount, meaning that a higher starting stat will have a bigger change. For each stat, there are six stages of increase, and six stages of decrease. The stages are cumulative: adding a stage of increase, and then a stage of decrease, results in no net change to the stat. The six stages of increase are x1.5, x2.0, x2.5, x3.0, x3.5, and x4.0. The six stages of decrease are 2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3, 2/7, and 1/4.

Some modifiers, such as {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}, do not work with the above stages, and thus can stack on top of them. For example, a Pokémon with Pure Power and six stages of increase would have eight times its normal attack.

During a {{m|Sandstorm}}, all {{t|Rock}} Pokémon gain 50% Special Defense, which does not work with stages.

All stat modifiers listed below except the [[vitamin]]s will increase the corresponding stats only for the battle that they are used in. [[Vitamin]]s increase the corresponding stats permanently.

'''Gary's Electivire''' (Japanese '''シゲルのエレキブル''' ''Shigeru's Elekibull'') is one of the many Pokémon owned by [[Gary Oak]] which he had assumably captured in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Its Japanese voice actor is 石塚運昇 ''[[Unshō Ishizuka]]'' and its English voice actor is [[Bill Rogers]].

Its first appearance was in ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start is]]''. It looked as if it was a wild Electivire at first because it was shooting apples by itself from a tree with its {{m|Thunderbolt}}. [[Team Rocket]] attempted to take it by capturing it in an electricity-proof net. It looked as if they were about to succeed until Gary showed up and told it to use {{m|Iron Tail}} to cut free of the net. Once out, it zapped Team Rocket with Thunderbolt and they were sent flying.

[[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] was impressed by {{p|Electivire}}. He went to look it up on his [[Pokédex]], but there was no data on it. Ash then wanted to battle it, but Gary said to come back to the [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] first.

Once there, Ash sent out his [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] to fight Electivire. Unfortunately for him, Electivire proved too much for Pikachu to handle and he ended up losing. When Gary left for [[Sinnoh]], he took Electivire as well with him.

Electivire appeared again in ''[[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]]'' as it fought by Gary's side against [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]] and [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]] in order to protect the {{p|Shieldon}} from being captured.

== Appropriate Edits ==

Quick note, at the top of the page it still says 6 tiers when there's only 4. [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] 09:40, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

I have a lot of experience Competitive Battling, in both OU and UU environments. Please take my suggestions into consideration. I am most concerned with the difference between certain Pokémon as UU or higher.

Tentacruel needs to move up, out of UU. It is too good for UU, a powerful Special wall with a nice SPD and SpA stat to back it up. It's very difficult for a UU to KO Tentacruel with Special, much like it's near impossible for an OU to KO a Blissey with Special. However a Blissey-like Pokémon in UU is not desirable, the common counter for Blissey being mixed sweepers and mixed sweepers being rare and considerably weaker in UU. And the fact that it outclasses basically every other potential UU special wall warrants its promotion out of UU. Some sites put it at OU, I personally would say BL, either way I don't mind but it should not stay in UU.

I have a huge list of BLs that should be UU, so please bear with me. With all of these I am not saying they suck, if it sounds that way don't take it that way, I'm just saying how they fit into UU.

Aggron, Articuno, Bastiodon, Blastoise, Blaziken, Cloyster, Dewgong, Drifblim, Exeggutor, Golduck, Golem, Hitmontop, Hitmonchan, Kabutops, Kingler, Lanturn, Lapras, Nidoking, Ninetales, Omastar, Probopass, Walrein.

Tbh, I have no idea why half of these are in the BL list. I'll start with these - Aggron, Probopass and Bastiodon. Their unfortunate type combination makes them 4x weak to Ground and Fighting, two of the most predominant physical attacking types. Consider that many physical attackers carry either Close Combat or Earthquake, or in absence of Close Combat, Brick Break or Superpower, and any of these moves is an almost guaranteed OHKO. This hurts even more when the 3 Pokémon's stats basically only allow them to work as physical walls or physical tanks.

Lanturn, Nidoking, Omastar, Dewgong, Kingler, Golduck and Golem I hope I don't have to explain. I will make a quick note that it makes no sense for Nidoking to be BL when Nidoqueen is UU, considering Nidoqueen is widely considered better and actually gets used occasionally.

Omastar and Kabutops fall under the same category so I'll explain them next. Again, their weakness to Fighting AND Ground hurts, but it doesn't help that they're also weak to Electric which is possibly the most common special attacking type along with Ice. They have potential as Rain Dance sweepers, yes, but that's about it since they're both certainly not doing any physical walling with their only other good stat, due to the aforementioned weaknesses in the physical area.

Cloyster has huge DEF but no reliable recovery move and not enough HP to support it. It is a DEF wall, but nothing too strong for UU like Bronzong or Skarmory. And once again, it's weakness to Fighting damages its capability a bit, as well as weakness to Rock this time which is just as common a physical type and, gives 1/4 HP damage from Stealth Rock.

Walrein and Lapras both have good stats all round but don't excel in anything. Well, Walrein excels at tanking in Hail, but that requires continuous hail which is only possible in UU by Snover. Both Pokémon have a weakness to Rock, Fighting and Electric, very common attacking types on the physical and special end of the spectrum, and they take 1/4 HP from Stealth Rock. They also lacking a reliable recovery move to support their wall stats.

Being Legendary, one would immediately call me insane to put Articuno in UU. But actually look at Articuno, think about it, and you'll realise. Straight off it has a 4x weakness to Stealth Rock. Its offensive movepool is tiny - the special end conisisting entirely of Ice Beam/Blizzard, Air Cutter, Hidden Power, Signal Beam and Extrasensory (from XD). The physical end is equally pathetic if not more so, with only Aerial Ace or Ice Shard for STAB then U-Turn and Return. It's supportive capabilities are slightly more promising, with Reflect, Light Screen, Haze and Heal Bell (last two from XD). With Roost, that's seriously all it can do, or Toxistall. Not very threatening.

I'd say more but I've written enough for now. Maybe later. Please take what I've said into consideration. [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] 07:14, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

OK I've got some more to say. What on Earth is Claydol doing in OU. It can drop down to UU no problem - UUs can handle it, it's defensive but not overly so due to poor HP, and it is nowhere near good enough for OU. It lacks a reliable recovery move and has an Ice weakness. It doesn't shine as a special attacker and it doesn't have a big enough DEF & HP combined for Calm Mind without reliable recovery.

I'll write a nice big post about why Garchomp is Uber soon.

Not that it honestly matters, but Sudowoodo and Bibarel can safely move up to UU. Sudowoodo is actually quite a decent UU with some unique options, while Bibarel has access to Curse now and it can seriously become quite threatening. For example, it can get both defensive stats at 450+ after one use of Curse and one use of Amnesia, which also raises ATK to 400+. Waterfall/Return combination has never looked better when both get STAB, with only Empoleon resisting both. [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] 08:19, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

::Mr Black, you have my thanks. I've been begging for updates for ages but to no avail. I agree on everything you've said so far (with only the possible exception of Blaziken) and this thing really needs work.
::I've actually seen quite a lot of Tentacruel lately, and that's in OU. It's those decent defensive stats combined with Rapid Spin and Toxic Spikes that make him so valuable.
::I have no freaking clue what Claydol is doing in OU. He's UU, sure, he's a top-quality UU, but he certainly should never be higher than BL.
::Like I've said, the huge things that are really eating me are Garchomp and Scizor. Anyone who play competitively knows that almost every team has a Scizor, and that none of them have Garchomp because he's Uber.
::Also, as much as I love Umbreon, he's not as good as he was back in ADV. Drop him down to BL. [[User:Scarfcrosspwns|Scarfcrosspwns]] 05:23, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

==Garchomp Uber?==
I'll say that Garchomp should be in the Borderline tier. I can OHKO a Garchomp with an Ice Beam easily.
Yeah well I can due that to dragonite and salamence but without ice beam their good, doesn't matter what you can do.

:My god. If you think Garchomp is BL, you are freaking retarded. I don't mean to be rude, but he's been known as one of the most devastatingly fearsome OUs since D/P came out, and now he's considered to powerful for OU and Smogon moved him up to Uber. 
:The fact is, a Pokémon can't be considered weak just because it has one compound weakness. The vast majority of Pokémon actually do have one (think Scizor, one of the most popular Pokémon in the game right now.) Also, nearly all Garchomps carried Yache berries, meaning they can take an Ice Beam and KO you due to those powerful moves and a massive Attack stat. It was way too common for Garchomp sweeps to decide the outcome of a battle, so Smogon banned him. They did their research, too, it wasn't a hasty decision. They spent upwards of a month battling without him to see how the metagame would change, and his disappearance changed everything. 
:You know a Pokémon's popular when people EV their Special Attack stat specifically to KO him. [[User:Scarfcrosspwns|Scarfcrosspwns]] 05:12, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

And the idea of a good tier list IS one based on fact not opinion.

==Awaiting deletion==

A [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=31749 discussion] has been raised by Mr. Black on the forums; practically all the participants are now of the opinion that the tier lists do not belong in Bulbapedia. My stance on the subject is expressed in [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showpost.php?p=645239&postcount=45 this post]. Argy and I are the only editorial board members to have voiced our opinions so far, but we both agree that the tiers lists should be replaced with detailed explanations of the six different tiers, their merit and possibly a collection of links to established lists.

This is now a matter to be decided by the editorial board. However, those of you who feel that the lists should not be removed, are welcome to raise their points either here or in the specified forum thread. Be aware that the arguments in favor of removing the lists are quite compelling, so unless you can come up with equally good points, it is only a matter of time before the final decision is made to dispense with the tiers. --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 12:17, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
:I think more important than the fact that people don't come to Bulbapedia to see tiers is that having such a subjective list on this site will be too unmanageable. If we do become a resource for battling, we would have many, many people complaining about how this subjective list is not subjected to their own subjective views. --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] 06:33, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

How could {{p|Regice}} be in the Overused tier when {{p|Regigigas}} is not?!
I do think {{p|Empoleon}} belongs in the Overused tier. {{unsigned|Masterdude}}
:Regigigas ability makes it horrible. That's why it's not OU. Regice is OU because it is the best Special wall in the game; after one {{m|Amnesia}}, it isn't even 3HKO'd by super effective Special attacks. <big>[[user:chocolate|Cho]][[user talk:chocolate|col]][[special:contributions/chocolate|ate]]</big> 22:30, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::Then what about Physical Attacks like Flare Blitz?- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Masterdude|Masterdude]] ([[User talk:Masterdude|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Masterdude|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''
:::seriously, empoleon, tortera and infernape are so OU. ~Masterdude~
::::Physical attacks also won't do much to a Pokémon with 100 base {{stat|Defense}}. Just think about it. Regice has 80 base {{stat|HP}}, 50 base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Speed}}, 100 base Defense and {{stat|Special Attack}}, and a colossal 200 base {{stat|Special Defense}}. I think it's safe to say that Regice is OU. <big>[[user:chocolate|Cho]][[user talk:chocolate|col]][[special:contributions/chocolate|ate]]</big> 01:00, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
==Empoleon==
I really think Empoleon belongs to the Overused tier due to its major resistances, 1 immunity, not effected by sandstorm and resists stealth rock. Also adding its super special attack stat makes this pokemon worthy of being OU. [[User:Masterdude|Masterdude]] 21:28, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

== Suggestion ==

Why not change this page to list different tier lists from prominent websites such as Smogon? Then, we wouldn't have people bitching about how it's done on this talk page, but rather they'd have to bitch about it on the website in question. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno.
