Retreat Cost (TCG)

2026-04-24T11:33:57Z

Mateussf: Maybe there could be a :Category:Cards with effects based on Retreat Cost.

'''Retreat Cost''' (Japanese: '''にげる''' ''retreat'') is the amount of {{TCG|Energy}} attached to a Pokémon that must be discarded in order to retreat to the Bench, bringing up a new Active Pokémon from the Bench. A Pokémon's innate Retreat Cost, which is printed on its card (typically on the bottom right corner), ranges from 0 Energy (often called a "free retreat") all the way up to 5 Energy, although there was no card with a Retreat Cost of 5 since {{TCG|Stormfront}} {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Mamoswine|21}}. Retreat Costs are marked by {{TCG|Colorless}} ({{e}}) Energy symbols.

Prior to the release of {{TCG|EX Ruby & Sapphire}}, a player could retreat Pokémon as often as they liked during the same turn, discarding Energy each time, if necessary. If the Pokémon is {{TCG|Confused}}, the player had to discard energy cards then flip a coin. If heads, the retreat was successful. If tails, the energy cards were wasted and the Pokémon remained in play. Since the release of EX Ruby & Sapphire, the player can retreat Pokémon only once per turn, and is no longer required to flip a coin to retreat if their Pokémon is Confused.

Some cards have effects based on a Pokémon's Retreat Cost, such as {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Heavy Ball|88}} and [[:Category:Cards with Shadowy Knot|cards with Shadowy Knot]] attack.

==Effects that alter Retreat Costs==
Several Pokémon are capable of [[:Category:Cards_that_change_Retreat_Costs|altering]] a Pokémon's Retreat Cost, usually through [[Pokémon Power]]s or {{TCG|Ability|Abilities}}. Trainer cards such as {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card|Pokémon Tools}} and {{TCG|Stadium card|Stadiums}} can also alter a Pokémon's Retreat Cost. In most cases, increases in the Retreat Cost are done by fixed amounts, while reductions may be either by fixed amounts or by setting to 0 (referred to as having "no Retreat Cost").

Increases are calculated first, then reductions. If a Pokémon has no Retreat Cost due to an effect, it overrides all effects that increase its Retreat Cost.

Heavy Helmet (Mega Rising 219)

2026-04-24T11:04:50Z

Mateussf: /* Trivia */ Interaction with Shaymin (Triumphant Light 69) which reduces Retreat Cost. e.g. an Active Orthworm (original Retreat Cost 3) with a Heavy Helmet and a Shaymin on the Bench will not be protected by the Helmet.

This card effect triggers based on the current Retreat Cost, calculated after modifiers such as {{TCG ID|Triumphant Light|Shaymin|69|abilities that reduce Retreat Cost}}.

List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions

2025-06-13T23:33:27Z

Mateussf: Removing Mothim from section "...into different forms of the same species" since Mothim is not the same species than Wormadam. Only different forms of Wormadam are relevant in this section. It might be positive to also review Burmy's redundant entry in section "...into different species" with three Wormadam

{{move|List of branched evolutionary lines}}
[[File:Branched evolution.png|thumb|250px|Wurmple can evolve into either Silcoon or Cascoon.]]
This is a list of Pokémon which [[Evolution|evolve]] differently depending on certain [[Methods of Evolution|conditions]]. It does not include [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|Pokémon with gender differences]] which evolve differently depending on their [[gender]] (such as {{p|Espurr}}).

The branched Evolutions of an evolutionary line often have different strengths in their [[base stats]]. In some cases, certain stats may be exactly the same, with the rest being distributed differently depending on the branch. One example of this is {{p|Gardevoir}}, with 65 for its base {{stat|Attack}} and 125 for its base {{stat|Special Attack}}, while {{p|Gallade}}'s Attack and Special Attack are instead 125 and 65; the rest of their stats are exactly the same. A broader example is the [[Eeveelution]]s, whose stats all use the same numbers in different orders.

The majority of evolutionary lines that have a branched Evolution have only two evolutionary stages. Many evolutionary lines with branched Evolutions only gained a branched Evolution in a [[generation]] [[List of cross-generational evolutionary lines|after the line was introduced]]; for example, {{p|Kirlia}} was introduced in [[Generation III]] along with its Evolution {{p|Gardevoir}}, and Kirlia's alternate Evolution {{p|Gallade}} was introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Trivia==
* To date, no Pokémon whose pre-Evolution has a branched Evolution also has a branched Evolution.
** {{p|Wurmple}} and {{p|Goomy}} are the only Pokémon with a branched Evolution whose Evolutions can both evolve again.
** {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Applin}} are the only Pokémon with a branched Evolution where only one of the Evolutions can evolve again.
*Applin's branched Evolution line (2 branches of a two-stage evolutionary line and 1 branch of a three-stage evolutionary line) is unique.
* {{p|Burmy}} is the only Pokémon that can evolve both into different species and into different non-interchangeable forms of the same species.
* {{p|Cubone}} and {{p|Rowlet}} are the only Pokémon with a branched Evolution involving [[regional form]]s of the same species where the [[Methods of Evolution]] are not completely identical aside from the requirement to be in specific [[region]]s.
** {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}} is the only regional form Pokémon with a branched Evolution.
* [[Generation III]] introduced the most Pokémon with a branched Evolution at the time of debut, with three ({{p|Wurmple}}, {{p|Nincada}}, and {{p|Clamperl}}).
* {{p|Tyrogue}} is the only Pokémon with a branched Evolution where more than one Evolution is introduced in a different generation at the time of debut.

Wailmer is a spherical whale {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with no tail. It has a dark blue topside and a tan underbelly with grooves. It has two fins that have finger-like appendages, baleen plates that resemble teeth, and a pair of nostrils on the top of its head functioning as blowholes.

Wailmer stores water inside its body, which it expels through its nostrils to startle people. When storing water in its body, it can turn into a bouncing ball. The more water filling its body, the higher it can bounce. It becomes lethargic when it is dry. It swims with its mouth open and eats tons of food a day, such as {{p|Wishiwashi}}. It lives in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|sea}}, and can only live on land for a short amount of time. It occasionally bounces onto the beaches to play. On rare occasions, pods can be seen washed up on shore — a result of genetic memories of having once lived on land. {{p|Dhelmise}} and {{p|Sharpedo}} are natural predators to Wailmer, and {{p|Cetoddle}} is thought to be its close relative.

===Evolution===
Wailmer evolves into {{p|Wailord}}.

===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Hitting the ball into Wailmer's mouth will activate Catch 'Em Mode on the [[Sapphire Field]].
*[[Pokémon Channel]]: On the beach, the player can fish for Pokémon with the fishing rod and bait provided. Wailmer is uncommon, but if the player reels Wailmer to the shore, the player can see the tremendous size difference between Wailmer and {{p|Pikachu}}.
*[[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Wailmer was seen in the 12th and 13th mission, being caught by the [[Team Dim Sun]] for their cargo ship. They were supposed to take {{p|Wailord}}, but they tried to bluff their way through by calling Wailmer a Wailord Mini.

{{main|Wailmer (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Wailmer is the only [[Generation III]] Pokémon [[Ross's Wailmer (Theater VS Pack 5)|with a TCG card containing dot codes]] for an  [[e-Reader]] application.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Wailmer is the only Pokémon with a unique {{m|Surf}} model without any modified traversing features.
** This might be the cause of a [[List of overworld glitches in Generation VI#Evolving Wailmer Surf glitch|glitch]] that freezes the game if the player is surfing on a Wailmer and it evolves after a battle caused by a Rod.
* Despite being found as an overworld spawn in [[Frigid Sea]], Wailmer is not in the [[List of Pokémon by Crown Tundra Pokédex number|Crown Tundra Pokédex]]. It is the only Pokémon that can be found through random encounters in the [[Crown Tundra]] to not appear in this Pokédex.

'''Poke-tapa''' is a series of board games produced by {{wp|Estrela (company)|Estrela}} and sold in [[Brazil]]. Two versions have been released, each with 50 Pokémon, the first featuring [[Generation I]] Pokémon and a second featuring mostly Pokémon from [[Generation II]]. It combined pattern recognition, manual dexterity and speed, as players had to locate and slap the correct Pokémon card to capture it.

==Blurb==
===Generation I===
{{tt|Olhe as figuras das fichas. Combinou? Tapa na ficha.|Look at the images on the cards. Did they match? Slap the card!}}
{{tt|Pegue todos os Pokémons no tapa! Quem pegar mais é o mestre do Poke-Tapa!|Catch all the Pokémon slapping them! Whoever catches the most is the Poke-Tapa master!}}

===Generation II===
{{tt|Olhou? Combinou? Tapa na ficha.|Looked at it? Matched it? Slap the card!}}
{{tt|50 novos Pokémons para você pegar no tapa! Quem pegar mais é o mestre do Poke-Tapa!|50 new Pokémon to catch slapping them! Whoever catches the most is the Poke-Tapa master!}}

==Playing the game==

Each player receives one of four plastic hands with a suction cup at their end. The round Pokémon cards are distributed on a large surface, facing up. The square Pokémon cards are stacked facing down.

Each turn, one player turns the top square card, revealing it for everyone. Players must then look for the corresponding round card and try to slap it with the suction cup. The first player to slap the correct card "captures" it, getting it for their own pile. If a player slaps a wrong card, it is returned to its place. After the card has been captured by the player, the next round begins, with another square card being revealed. The game ends when the last round card is captured. The winner is the player with the most round cards captured.

Sandile (Pokémon)

Mateussf: /* Name origin */English Wikipedia says there is no etymological connection between "sand" and "sandal". A sandal is not a footwear for walking on sand.

'''Sandile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メグロコ''' ''Meguroco'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Krokorok}} starting at [[level]] 29, which evolves into {{p|Krookodile}} starting at level 40.

==Biology==
Sandile is a short, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long snout and tail. Its body is mostly light brown with the exception of black stripes crossing over and under its legs and its pink underbelly. It has a black stripe on its snout in front of its eyes, and black covering the tip of its tail. Its eyes resemble shaded binoculars and are shrouded in a black membrane all around their front. This membrane prevents sand from getting in Sandile's eyes and helps it see in the harsh desert sun. Its long snout is tipped by two protruding nostrils, and its mouth comprises the bottom half. Its feet are flat and contain three sharp, black claws. They are attached to stubby legs on its sides.

Sandile is only found in deserts, with the exception of [[Alola]], where the warm environment is comfortable enough for them to appear elsewhere. It usually burrows under the surface of the sand, with only its nose and eyes appearing above ground. Due to being so close to the surface, it can move around the desert and allow the heat of the sand to regulate its body temperature. This also serves as a way of hiding from enemies. Its movement through sand has been described as being similar to swimming. When the sun sets, it burrows deep into the sand to sleep until sunrise. As seen [[BW003|in the anime]], in the wild, Sandile can be mischievous and potentially troublesome to humans. However, Sandile will protect another of its species, and can be caring at times. Sandile is an ambush predator, hiding under the sand and waiting for unwary prey, such as {{p|Trapinch}}, to walk over it before it bites on their legs. However, Sandile is not very skilled at hunting prey, thus it also mostly eats anything that collapses in the desert; hence it has been known as "the cleaner of the desert."

===Evolution===
Sandile evolves into {{p|Krokorok}}, which evolves into {{p|Krookodile}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Sandile seems to be based on a baby {{wp|crocodile}}; specifically, it has traits from both the {{wp|Mecistops|slender-snouted crocodile}} and the {{wp|Nile crocodile}}. The stripes are similar to a stereotypical burglar, with the marking around the eyes resembling a mask or sunglasses. Sandile's movement through sand being described as similar to swimming may reference the {{wp|Scincus scincus|sandfish skink}}, named so because it is capable of burrowing and moving through sand as if it is swimming.

====Name origin====
Sandile may be a combination of ''{{wp|sand}}'', ''{{wp|crocodile}}'', and possibly a play on ''sandal'' (footwear).

Meguroco may be a combination of 目黒 ''meguro'' (black-eyed) and ''crocodile''.

Talk:Devolution

2023-12-27T15:19:18Z

Mateussf: /* TCG */ new section

== Ash's Pikachu/Raichu ==

I may be wrong, but didn't Ash's Pikachu evolve into Raichu in one of the early series anime episodes? He decided that his Raichu was slower and less versatile than his Pichaku, got very tearful, and managed to devolve it back into a Pikachu somehow? Did this happen or did I dream it up? I ask because I was never a huge fan or close follower of the anime. If it did, the anime section of the devolution page ought to be corrected. [[User:PurpleSector|PurpleSector]] 20:25, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
:You dreamed it. Pikachu never evolved. It was [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] you're thinking of in terms of being slower than Pikachu. [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 20:28, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

== Mew ex ==

Doesn't  [[Mew ex (PLAY Promo 7)|this card]] also cause devolution through the use of Mutation in certain situations...? --'''[[Special:Contributions/Zordon123456789mlw7|Azurill]][[User talk:Zordon123456789mlw7|glow2]][[User:Zordon123456789mlw7|mlw7]]''' 06:07, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

::Added. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:35, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

== XY097 ==

Shouldn't the scene in XY097 where Diggersby reverted back into Bunnelby have a mention in the anime section? I know it was a dream, but isn't that pretty much devolution? '''''[[Shadow Sneak (move)|Sneaking]] from page to page... It's the page-editing purple ghost... [[User:Gengarzilla|Gengar]][[User talk:Gengarzilla|zilla!]]''''' 23:23, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

== Type: Null ==

So... I've been meaning to ask this. Would Type: Null count as a devolution? Given how it started out as Silvally and was then forced to be Null. The reason I bring this up is mainly because of how Gladion's anime segment Pokémon reads 'Silvally → Type: Null → Silvally '. [[User:Pikatwig|Pikatwig]] ([[User talk:Pikatwig|talk]]) 17:10, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
:It is funny that the articles mention that {{p|Silvally}} basically devolved into {{p|Type: Null}} without using this exact term. However, Type: Null started off as "Type: Full", which is pretty much Silvally without [[RKS System (Ability)|RKS System]]. We may have to wait until the "Nebby arc" is dubbed first before we decide if this counts as devolution or Type: Full. [[User:UxieLover1994|UxieLover1994]] ([[User talk:UxieLover1994|talk]]) 22:55, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
:: Silvally has already been confirmed to regress to Type: Null! The best source is the [[SM049]] episode, where we clearly see the Gladion Pokémon saved to Lillie's child on the form of Silvally, while in [[SM037]] the same was on the form of Type: Null.

:::::I think you should add it [[User:Nightfall217|Nightfall217]] ([[User talk:Nightfall217|talk]]) 02:39, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
::::::Not really. The Pokémon articles constantly say Type: Null ''evolves'' into Silvally.

[[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 04:29, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
:::::::Either way that's not a good argument for it not to be included because regardless of if it is that way in the games it is that way in the anime therefore it is canon to the anime that Silvally can devolve into Type: Null as Gladion's Type: Null was a devolved Silvally [[User:Nightfall217|Nightfall217]] ([[User talk:Nightfall217|talk]]) 07:01, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
::::::::Yes, it is, because here, game information supersedes anime information. If many other sources (outside of your own opinion) explicitly confirm this is an example of devolution rather than evolution, then please provide links to them. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 21:45, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
:::::::::Alright I realize maybe I wasn't clear about what I meant in my last comment. What I meant was that while it's unconfirmed that all Type: Null are just devolved Silvally (like for instance I would never say that the same rules that apply to the anime apply to the games) we do know from multiple references in the anime that the anime version of Gladion's was and all I'm saying is that that should be added to the anime section of the article as an example seen in the anime [[User:Nightfall217|Nightfall217]] ([[User talk:Nightfall217|talk]]) 22:37, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
::::::::::And like I said, game information supersedes all else, no exceptions. Just because the anime does it differently doesn't mean it should be treated as such. We go by game information over all else. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 08:09, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

== Melmetal? ==

In Melmetal's ''Sword'' dex entry, it says that when it it dies, it is reborn as several Meltan. I think this should be noted of, as Exeggutor has a place on this page.--[[User:Power-Point Panpour|Power-Point Panpour]] ([[User talk:Power-Point Panpour|talk]]) 01:53, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

== TCG ==

This TCG card ([[Ancient Technical Machine Rock (EX Hidden Legends 85)]]) causes devolution and should be added to the list. [[User:Mateussf|Mateussf]] ([[User talk:Mateussf|talk]]) 15:19, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Deck archetype (TCG)

2023-11-01T19:18:32Z

Mateussf: /* Deckbuilding guidelines */ Making it more clear that there's no card named "Stormfront Pikachu"

[[File:WCS2004_Blaziken_Tech_Deck.jpg|thumb|Example of a sucessful archetype at the {{TCG|2004 World Championships}}, later printed as a non-legal deck]]
A '''deck archetype''' is a deck, built by players of the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, that utilizes one set structure, although various players may have slight differences between their own decks of the same archetype.

An example of a now-defunct archetype is {{TCG|Haymaker}}, which commonly used {{TCG|Base Set}} {{TCG ID|Base Set|Hitmonchan|7}} and {{TCG ID|Base Set|Electabuzz|20}}, and {{TCG|Jungle}} {{TCG ID|Jungle|Scyther|10}}. While these cards are usually a staple of the Haymaker archetype, they are not ''required'' to make a Haymaker deck. For example, instead of using the Jungle Scyther, a player may choose to instead focus on the {{ct|Fighting}} in the deck, and utilize Fossil {{TCG ID|Fossil|Hitmonlee|7}}. The exact number and kinds of {{TCG|Trainer}}s used with an archetype may also differ, with some users of Haymaker preferring the drawing power of {{TCG ID|Base Set|Professor Oak|88}} despite its disadvantage of discarding the entire hand, while others would choose {{TCG ID|Base Set|Bill|91}} instead.

==Deckbuilding guidelines==
:''These guidelines apply to building any tournament legal deck of Pokémon cards.''
In a standard legal deck, only four cards of the same name may be included, except for Basic Energy cards and {{TCG|Arceus}} (in [[Generation IV]]), of which there can be as many as a player desires to fill the deck to 60. This four-card rule includes cards with the same name but different effects: a player may have three {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Pikachu|70}} and one {{TCG|Majestic Dawn}} expansion {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Pikachu|70}}, but ''only'' four which have the name "Pikachu". Cards that have a different name ({{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Dark Crobat|3}} and {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Crobat|23}}, for example) count differently, and thus players may have four of each in their deck. {{TCG|δ Delta Species}} Pokémon count as the same as their non-δ counterparts.

==List of well-known archetypes==
This is a list of many of the most competitive decks that were legal during their respective eras of play.
''Note that variants of some archetypes may have been played in multiple seasons of play. These will be listed during the most recent format in which they were viable.''

Mateussf: /* Do the wave */ new section

Some of the SWSH decks don't seem to be actual archetypes?

I have never seen someone use Whimsicott VSTAR before
13:28, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

== Unkown history ==

Ok what if I know the the typical decklist and strategy/point of the deck (both from experience going against and using the decks) but I don't know any verbatim history? (like who first popularized it, etc) What do I do??
I can do Gardy+Gallade, Mother Gengar/Queengar, Salamence+Delcatty, Scizor+Cherrim, Shuppet hit-and-run, Palkia LV.X+Flygon (Stallgon), and Shaymin LV.X+Yanmega (thats my home deck but I'm sure some others have used it). So I know alot. [[User:Sivart345|--Sivart]][[User talk:Sivart345|3]][[Special:Contributions/Sivart345|4]][[User:Firestorm|'''5''']] 20:33, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

:Oh, those are some good decks. It really would be great to have someone else writing these... if you don't know a particular section, leave it blank with a tag stating that the section is incomplete. I should be able to clean it up once you finish. Include as much as you can, though. --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 20:40, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

::Ok I will see what I can do! With spring break coming, I should have more time! [[User:Sivart345|--Sivart]][[User talk:Sivart345|3]][[Special:Contributions/Sivart345|4]][[User:Firestorm|'''5''']] 22:27, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
::I wrote the ''Luxdrill'' and ''Stallgon'' articles! [[User:Sivart345|--Sivart]][[User talk:Sivart345|3]][[Special:Contributions/Sivart345|4]][[User:Firestorm|'''5''']] 17:29, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

== When adding decks ==
People...it would be very nice if when you add a deck to this list that you put it in ALPHABETICAL order. Several times I have fixed it. =)
Thanks.
[[User:Sivart345|--Sivart]][[User talk:Sivart345|3]][[Special:Contributions/Sivart345|4]][[User:Firestorm|'''5''']] 02:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

== Add Wiggly Deck! ==

Wigglytuff decks from Jungle-on was a very powerful deck, possibly on par with Haymaker, though it was a completely different deck. They were generally run with Cleffas and Scythers to help fill the deck up quickly. -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] 05:15, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

:Yeah, I know. Thank you. --[[User:Politoed666|''P'' ''o'']] [[User talk:Politoed666|''L'' ''i'']] 05:20, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

== {{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Durant|83}} Deck ==

Does anyone know what [http://www.pokemon.com/us/trading-cards/strategy/tcg_strategy_deck-out-with-durant/ this] deck is called? [[Special:Contributions/Enervation|~]][[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 02:55, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
:It's called Durant, sometimes "Durant Mill". ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 17:56, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

== Night March Page? ==

Night March is a huge deck in the format, and has been huge since it was printed. I believe it deserves its own article, similar to [[Porydonk (TCG)]] [[User:Pikachu6780|I'm still new to this forum thing -Pikachu6780]] ([[User talk:Pikachu6780|talk]]) 00:09, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

== Deck Names ==

I know I love giving my decks creative names and some of these decks are so well known that only a novice wouldn't know what they were called... but then again a novice is probably the one that needs to look up well known decks. When we get to the less well known decks or archetypes from the past, it can be quite frustrating to have to click through multiple articles because the deck has a name that doesn't mention any of the key cards or effects by name.

So perhaps there is a better way to list (possibly even name) these articles? Some decks are very fluid so it might take some tinkering to make it work but having two columns, like "Primary Name" and "Primary Focus" with the former being the general deck name and the latter being the main card of the deck would help out a lot. By designating them as "Primary" it clues people in that there can be variation, but it still makes it so you don't have to remember the "kewl name" a deck was known by when someone added it to the Wiki. I'm a long term player and if I am getting confused, I pity the newbies.

[[User:Otakutron|Otakutron]] ([[User talk:Otakutron|talk]]) 16:54, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

== Greninja BREAK article created ==

I've just seen that this article is not updated at all about new rotations and deck archetypes. Despite this, I decided to write an article about Greninja BREAK archetype. I used as blueprint this: [[LuxChomp (TCG)| LuxChomp]]. It seems to me a good starting point. I don't have permission to create page yet, but I would appreciate if someone may look my work and tell me if I'm on the right way or not. [[User:Laspandrea|Laspandrea]] ([[User talk:Laspandrea|talk]]) 08:18, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

== Are some of the SWSH decks even a thing? ==
As a comp player, I have literally never seen someone use a Whimsicott deck before. Malamar is like a budget/meme at best, and there are like twelve different Arceus decks.

Also, Calyrex's name is spelt wrong.

== Do the wave ==

[[Do the wave]] is listed as a redlink. There is a draft of that page here: [[User:Zesty Cactus/Wigglytuff archetype (TCG)]]. I propose the draft be mainspaced. [[User:Mateussf|Mateussf]] ([[User talk:Mateussf|talk]]) 19:15, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

==Regional forms==
Hey pal, you are missing Exeggcute and Mime Jr. [[User:Oneofthosedf|Oneofthosedf]] ([[User talk:Oneofthosedf|talk]]) 12:38, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

:Anyway, thanks and feel free to edit this yourself. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 12:49, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

==Opposite page==
Great idea making this page! Is there a similar but opposite page? Pokémon that may gain a type? The [[Normal (type)]] page says that "No Pokémon gains the Normal type upon evolving. It shares this distinction with the Bug type.", but there's no list about this. [[User:Mateussf|Mateussf]] ([[User talk:Mateussf|talk]]) 19:09, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

List of Brazilian Portuguese Pokémon names

2023-10-27T17:41:46Z

Mateussf: Based on the Brazilian dub of the first season of the anime

This list is a record of the official {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} spellings for Pokémon names. Names are listed by number in the order dictated by the [[National Pokédex]].

The Brazilian Portuguese names of most Pokémon are the same as their English names, and are not listed below. Although these names are spelled identically to how they are spelled in English, some Pokémon names are pronounced in the {{pkmn|anime}} in a way that only approximates their English pronunciation; the most famous examples are {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Meowth}}, which are pronounced as if they were spelled "Bulbassauro" and "Miau", respectively. The same happens with Bulbasaur's evolutions, namely {{p|Ivysaur}} (pronounced "Ivyssauro") and {{p|Venusaur}} (pronounced "Venussauro"), and with {{p|Magikarp}} (pronounced "Magikarpa") in the earlier episodes of the anime.

{{p|Type: Null}} and the [[Paradox Pokémon]] (with the exceptions of {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}) are the only Pokémon whose names have been localized into Brazilian Portuguese.

==Columns==
* '''English''': The official English name as dictated by [[Nintendo of America]] and used in all English-language games and merchandise.
* '''Brazilian Portuguese''': The official Brazilian Portuguese name used in [[Pokémon GO]], [[Pokémon UNITE]], and in the Portuguese-language TCG, anime, and merchandise.

So far, you're doing a great job at putting in '''In the anime''' pictures for moves. But you need to know some things:

1. The section is 'In the '''a'''nime', NOT 'In the ''A''nime.

2. '''ALWAYS''' put <code><nowiki> </nowiki></code> after putting in the image, BEFORE the ''Pokémon'' section.

== Victreebel's gender ==

Somebody explain to me why James's first Victreebel kept biting him out of compassion while his second one did the same to Jessie. There's a possibility that James's first Victreebel's female. {{unsigned|Pikajigglychan}}

== So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd ==

Who decides that this is the earliest James could possibly have captured it? I thought it was similar to his Carnivine or Growlithe. '''[[User:Toon Ganondorf|Toon Ganondorf ]] [[User Talk:Toon Ganondorf|(t]] [[Special:Contributions/Toon Ganondorf|c)]]''' 00:22, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
:In a flashback he was shown to use Weezing to catch Wepinbell, so he did not have it pre-series. In this ep '''all''' of TR's pokemon are stolen, with no wepinbell [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 00:27, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
:That still doesn't tell me why he couldn't have it before So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd. What in the flashback tells you that it couldn't be before the previously mentioned episode? [[User:4Corry|4Corry]] ([[User talk:4Corry|talk]]) 23:13, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

In the Farfetch'd episode, the Weepinbell wasn't stolen, which means it wasn't with James. Team Rocket isn't shown to have anywhere to store Pokémon. So the conclusion is that Weepinbell wasn't caught before the Farfetch'd episode. [[User:Mateussf|Mateussf]] ([[User talk:Mateussf|talk]]) 16:06, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

== Victreebel's 'affection' ==

Is it actually stated in any episode that Victreebel is displaying its affection for James, rather than actually ''attacking'' James? Victreebel is always scowling when it bites James, even though it has been shown to display other emotions in the anime, and the second Victreebel also attacks Jessie, within the same episode it is captured, so it's not unique to James's Victreebel. Plus its Red & Blue Pokedex entries imply that they eat people. Cacnea and Carnivine may be showing their love of James when they jump on him, but Victreebel is a different Pokemon. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 15:29, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
:I seriously don't think that it's showing affection either. There's no evidence to prove this, and in EP269, James even says that
:Victreebel is always on confusing him for food![[User:Confusion|Confusion]] 19:18, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

== Victreebel's Sword Dance & Take Down ==

I'm a little confused, and having watched over [[EP122]], the English dub version that is, I noticed that the animation for Sword Dance and Take Down are the very same in this very episode where the two attacks debut. Sword Dance was used first in one battle, and Take Down was used second in a different confrontation. Is it possible this is another error? Also is there another episode where Victreebel uses either of these attacks again, to prove which one it actually is?

== Inclusion ==
I suggest adding [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]] to the Side Games section. I got [[Marine Resort]] up, and it's one of the places where Espeon can be found and recruited. [[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 15:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

== Espionage? ==
This probably sounds really strange, but is it possible that Espeon's name may also come from the word espionage? Wouldn't Espeon be able to use their psychic abilities to steal information?

==Real Japanese Name Origin==
I just found this information on a Japanese site today. The origin of Espeon's Japanese name エーフィ "eifi" is simply from エスパー (esupaa, or Esper) and フィール (fiiru, from the English "feel" because of how it can feel with its fur). [[User:Plutoplanetpower|Plutoplanetpower]] 05:02, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

==Eyes==
I know this is super minor, but the description of Espeon's eyes says that they're pupil-less, white iris and purple sclera. Unless this is in fact cannon, and if Espeon is really based on a cat, you shouldn't see the sclera at all, and it would have white pupils and purple irises. This seems to coincide with the shines and shadows in the anime and sprites on the purple. The sclera wouldn't reflect so much light. As I said, this is super minor, but would anyone mind me changing it to white pupils, etc? (or at least tell me whether or not it's cannon?) Thanks!

:Well Blaze is a cat, and she's the same color, but aside from that, there's not much similarity. By that logic, we'd need to mention that every cat-shaped Pokémon looks a lot like other cat-based characters.

== Cry Glitch ==

In my second generation games, I found a glitch with Espeon's cry - if you set the Pokédex to alphabetical, then go to Entei's page, play its cry and click down while Entei's cry is still playing, Espeon's cry glitches. I've never heard this documented anywhere else, so could anyone check if it happens for them too and, if so, is it worth putting in the 'Trivia' section? [[User:Mattachu|Mattachu]] 23:03, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

==Sun Pokemon==
Should it be noted in trivia that even though it is the Sun Pokemon, it can't learn Solarbeam? [[User:Sparky elemental|Sparky]] 12:24, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

== Sphynx cat comparison ==

In the origin, it is said that it might have been influenced by a sphynx cat because of the latter's pink skin, but not all sphynxes have pink skin - my own sphynx has grey skin, it can be white or even spotted. Not to mention Espeon has fur and it's purple rather than pink. So I'd say this is way too far-fetched. --[[User:Kiadony|Kiadony]] 11:25, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

"Inspiration of the pink-purple coloring of its fur can be drawn from sphynx cats as well."
I believe the sphynx cat origin only refers to the ''coloring'' of the fur, and ''not'' the skin. Also the keyword was 'can be,' which is implying that some sphynx cats can look pink or purplish.
--[[User:Stardustskittles|Pika Pika Pi~!!]] ([[User talk:Stardustskittles|talk]]) 23:55, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

----
Looking back on this, I realize that an animal's coloration can be a little too vague of an inspiration for a pokemon design, and that a sphynx cannot be a valid inspiration as you've said before, Espeon has been canonically stated to have fur (and you can see the fur texture on it's pokken model) and sunbathes which a sphynx cat cannot do, for it's skin is too sensitive against solar light/heat. --[[User:Stardustskittles|Pika Pika Pi~!!]] ([[User talk:Stardustskittles|talk]]) 11:01, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

== Do Trailers Count? ==

do trailers count as anime appearances? if so, espeon was in one of them for magnagate and the infinite labyrinth. {{unsigned|Fudgedara}}
:I'm not sure about everyone else, but in my opinion, no. Trailers shouldn't count.

== Zap Cannon ==

Should Espeon's capability of learning Zap Cannon in Gen 2 be listed in the moves section? {{unsigned|Reshiespeon}}
:It is listed; click on the "Other generations: II" link at the top of any of the learnset boxes. It's not mentioned on the main page because Pokémon from Generation II cannot be transferred forward, so it's impossible for an Espeon to have Zap Cannon in modern games.

== Beta Espeon... ==

So with the recent leak of the Gold Beta, a few pokemon we've come to know and love has made an appearance in the original beta version, but with some differences to their physical appearance. One of these being Espeon!
Espeon's beta sprite is shown to have twin tails (confirming the bakeneko/nekomata origin), and more singular whiskers (though, this could be due to sprite limitation) almost similar to a lynx.
My question is that, should the beta sprite be included in the trivia?

== Tail design and dowsing ==

The forked tail might be a reference to a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dowsing Dowsing] rod.
"Dowsing is a type of divination employed in attempts to locate ground water. (...) A Y-shaped twig or rod are sometimes used during dowsing." Dowsing (a form of rhabdomancy) is a pseudoscientific form of finding water, supposedly using extrasensory perception. This might be a good Trivia, or an addition to the Biology section.

== Inclusion ==
I suggest adding [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]] to the Side Games section. I got [[Marine Resort]] up, and it's one of the places where Espeon can be found and recruited. [[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 15:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:What's to suggest? We do need the complete location data. The information is in some of the articles but hasn't reached Espeon yet. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 16:08, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

== Espionage? ==
This probably sounds really strange, but is it possible that Espeon's name may also come from the word espionage? Wouldn't Espeon be able to use their psychic abilities to steal information? Although that does go against the sun theme of Espeon... Meh, it's just an idea. *shrug* [[User:Ayla|Ayla]] 17:10, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
:Thats a good idea but i think its ESP and the eon from all eeveelutions, great idea though :]--[[User:David aipom|''David Aipom'']] [[User talk:David aipom|(Talk to me)]] 17:23, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

==Real Japanese Name Origin==
I just found this information on a Japanese site today. The origin of Espeon's Japanese name エーフィ "eifi" is simply from エスパー (esupaa, or Esper) and フィール (fiiru, from the English "feel" because of how it can feel with its fur). [[User:Plutoplanetpower|Plutoplanetpower]] 05:02, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

==Eyes==
I know this is super minor, but the description of Espeon's eyes says that they're pupil-less, white iris and purple sclera. Unless this is in fact cannon, and if Espeon is really based on a cat, you shouldn't see the sclera at all, and it would have white pupils and purple irises. This seems to coincide with the shines and shadows in the anime and sprites on the purple. The sclera wouldn't reflect so much light. As I said, this is super minor, but would anyone mind me changing it to white pupils, etc? (or at least tell me whether or not it's cannon?) Thanks!

Blaze the cat looks alot like a espeon. Should this be mentioned? [[User:Glitchym1|Glitchedm1~♥]] 15:47, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

:Well Blaze is a cat, and she's the same color, but aside from that, there's not much similarity. By that logic, we'd need to mention that every cat-shaped Pokémon looks a lot like other cat-based characters.

== Cry Glitch ==

In my second generation games, I found a glitch with Espeon's cry - if you set the Pokédex to alphabetical, then go to Entei's page, play its cry and click down while Entei's cry is still playing, Espeon's cry glitches. I've never heard this documented anywhere else, so could anyone check if it happens for them too and, if so, is it worth putting in the 'Trivia' section? [[User:Mattachu|Mattachu]] 23:03, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

==Sun Pokemon==
Should it be noted in trivia that even though it is the Sun Pokemon, it can't learn Solarbeam? [[User:Sparky elemental|Sparky]] 12:24, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

== Sphynx cat comparison ==

In the origin, it is said that it might have been influenced by a sphynx cat because of the latter's pink skin, but not all sphynxes have pink skin - my own sphynx has grey skin, it can be white or even spotted. Not to mention Espeon has fur and it's purple rather than pink. So I'd say this is way too far-fetched. --[[User:Kiadony|Kiadony]] 11:25, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

"Inspiration of the pink-purple coloring of its fur can be drawn from sphynx cats as well."
I believe the sphynx cat origin only refers to the ''coloring'' of the fur, and ''not'' the skin. Also the keyword was 'can be,' which is implying that some sphynx cats can look pink or purplish.
--[[User:Stardustskittles|Pika Pika Pi~!!]] ([[User talk:Stardustskittles|talk]]) 23:55, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

----
Looking back on this, I realize that an animal's coloration can be a little too vague of an inspiration for a pokemon design, and that a sphynx cannot be a valid inspiration as you've said before, Espeon has been canonically stated to have fur (and you can see the fur texture on it's pokken model) and sunbathes which a sphynx cat cannot do, for it's skin is too sensitive against solar light/heat. --[[User:Stardustskittles|Pika Pika Pi~!!]] ([[User talk:Stardustskittles|talk]]) 11:01, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

== Do Trailers Count? ==

do trailers count as anime appearances? if so, espeon was in one of them for magnagate and the infinite labyrinth. {{unsigned|Fudgedara}}
:I'm not sure about everyone else, but in my opinion, no. Trailers shouldn't count.
:Might as well count intros as well. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 22:05, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

== Zap Cannon ==

Should Espeon's capability of learning Zap Cannon in Gen 2 be listed in the moves section? {{unsigned|Reshiespeon}}
:It is listed; click on the "Other generations: II" link at the top of any of the learnset boxes. It's not mentioned on the main page because Pokémon from Generation II cannot be transferred forward, so it's impossible for an Espeon to have Zap Cannon in modern games.

== Beta Espeon... ==

So with the recent leak of the Gold Beta, a few pokemon we've come to know and love has made an appearance in the original beta version, but with some differences to their physical appearance. One of these being Espeon!
Espeon's beta sprite is shown to have twin tails (confirming the bakeneko/nekomata origin), and more singular whiskers (though, this could be due to sprite limitation) almost similar to a lynx.
My question is that, should the beta sprite be included in the trivia?

== Evolve Eevee 2 ==

Ok hold up, why were my edits reverted? I thought that if Eevee knows a Fairy type moves, it evolves into Sylveon. This is Espeon's page. [[User:Aykrivwassup|Aykrivwassup]] ([[User talk:Aykrivwassup|talk]]) 03:06, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
:That is indeed the case and it's already stated:

== Tail design and dowsing ==

The forked tail might be a reference to a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dowsing|Dowsing] rod.
"Dowsing is a type of divination employed in attempts to locate ground water. (...) A Y-shaped twig or rod are sometimes used during dowsing." Dowsing (a form of rhabdomancy) is a pseudoscientific form of finding water, supposedly using extrasensory perception. This might be a good Trivia, or an addition to the Biology section.

Beast Ball

2022-09-14T00:23:30Z

Mateussf: /* Pokémon GO */ Apparently some raids have Beast Balls and others Premier Balls.

{{ItemInfobox/head
|name=Beast Ball
|jname=ウルトラボール
|jtrans=Ultra Ball
|gen=VII
|colorscheme=Poké Balls
}}
{{ItemInfobox/BagRow|VII|Items|colorscheme=Poké Balls}}
{{ItemInfobox/BagRowBottom|VIII|Poké Balls}}
|}

The '''Beast Ball''' (Japanese: '''ウルトラボール''' ''Ultra Ball'') is a type of [[Poké Ball]] introduced in [[Generation VII]]. It can be used to catch a [[wild Pokémon]], being more likely to succeed against [[Ultra Beast]]s and less likely against other Pokémon.

==In the core series games==
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], Beast Balls were developed by [[Faba]] of the [[Aether Foundation]], building on the work of a predecessor. In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], they were created through cooperation between the Aether Foundation and the [[Ultra Recon Squad]].

|}
|}

===Effect===
====Manual activation====
When used from the [[Bag]] in a {{pkmn2|wild}} encounter, it attempts to catch the wild Pokémon. If the wild Pokémon is an [[Ultra Beast]], it has a 5× [[catch rate]] modifier; otherwise, it has a 0.1× modifier.

Beast Balls cannot be used in situations in which Poké Balls cannot be used, such as in wild battles with two or more opponents currently present or against a [[Island challenge|trial]] Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle, the opposing Trainer will bat the ball away, wasting the item.

====Held item====
{{m|Fling}} fails if the user is holding a Beast Ball.

==In spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
Beast Balls are a special item exclusively used during Ultra Beast encounters in [[Pokémon GO]]. Like the [[Premier Ball]], they are never put into the player's [[Bag]] and cannot be kept after the encounter.

Currently, the player is provided with an unlimited number of Beast Balls to use during an Ultra Beast encounter. Additionally, [[Berry|Berries]] cannot be used during an Ultra Beast encounter.

The first Ultra Beast, {{p|Nihilego}}, debuted in a {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}} prior to the introduction of Beast Balls and was caught like normal Raid encounters (with Premier Balls and Berries usable). This was the only instance of an Ultra Beast in GO being catchable in a Ball other than a Beast Ball.

While attempting to catch {{p|Kartana}} and {{p|Celesteela}}, players could also catch these Ultra Beasts with normal Premier Balls.

==In the anime==
[[File:Beast Ball anime.png|thumb|250px|A Beast Ball in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Beast Balls debuted in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', where the [[Aether Foundation]] provided many of them for {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} to use during their [[Ultra Guardians]] missions. In the same episode, Ash used one of them to temporarily {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Buzzwole}}.

In ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]'', Ash used almost every Beast Ball provided to the group to try and catch a {{AP|Poipole}} in order to take care of it until the location of its [[Ultra Wormhole]] could be discovered. He eventually succeeded with the last one in the box.

In ''[[SM069|Rise and Shine, Starship!]]'', Ash and {{an|Kiawe}} tried to use Beast Balls to catch a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Celesteela}}, but they both failed due to it being rooted down to the ground at the time.

In ''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'', {{an|Lana}} and {{an|Lillie}} used a pair of Beast Balls to temporarily catch a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Xurkitree}} and a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Blacephalon}}, respectively.

In ''[[SM085|The Long Vault Home!]]'', Ash, Lana, Kiawe, and {{an|Mallow}} each tried to catch a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Stakataka}} with multiple Beast Balls, but it effortlessly dodged them all. Eventually, Ash was able to successfully catch Stakataka after getting rid of the statue that had been placed on top of its body and convincing it that they were going to return it to its home.

In ''[[SM114|Beauty is Only Crystal Deep!]]'', Ash used a Beast Ball to temporarily catch a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Pheromosa}} so that it could be returned home.

In ''[[SM124|Living on the Cutting Edge!]]'', Lana tried to use a Beast Ball to catch a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Kartana}}, but it simply sliced the Ball to pieces.

In [[JN111]], Lillie's family used a Beast Ball to catch a {{Shiny}} {{p|Nihilego}}, [[nickname]]d "{{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Lillie}}", that had taken care of [[Mohn]], with {{an|Gladion}} taking it under his care.

==In the manga==
[[File:Beast Ball Adventures.png|thumb|200px|A Beast Ball in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
Beast Balls were created for [[Aether Foundation]] by [[Colress]] with help from the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] as a means of catching [[Ultra Beast]]s. They were first seen in ''[[PASM28|Arrival at the Scientific Megalopolis]]'', where {{adv|Blake}}, disguised as Colress, delivered 100 of them to [[Lusamine]] in preparation for her plan to catch the ultimate Ultra Beast: {{DL|Light trio (Adventures)|Necrozma}}.

In ''[[PASM29|Darkness!! The Mysterious Claws of Necrozma!]]'', Lusamine used a Beast Ball to catch the {{p|Naganadel}} that [[Phyco]] had used to [[Ultra Warp Ride|ride]] through [[Ultra Space]]. In ''[[PASM30|Madness!! Mother Lusamine!]]'', after riding the Naganadel to [[Ultra Megalopolis]], she started throwing her Beast Balls at Necrozma. While her attention was focused on Necrozma, {{adv|Sun}} used one of the Beast Balls that Lusamine had dropped to catch himself a {{p|Stakataka}}. {{adv|Moon}} also tried to use a Beast Ball to separate Lusamine from the {{p|Nihilego}} she had fused with, but she missed her target.

In ''[[PASM35|Transcend!! Ultra Necrozma!]]'', [[Anabel]] was revealed to be in possession of the last known Beast Ball, which she was delivering to [[Mount Lanakila]], where Sun and {{adv|Zygarde}} were engaged in a battle with Necrozma. In ''[[PASM37|Finale!! The Battle Against the Other Dimension!]]'', Necrozma was defeated, but its last-ditch attack hit {{adv|Looker}} and Anabel's balloon, destroying the Beast Ball. Sun then revealed that the Beast Ball that Moon had tried to use on Nihilego earlier had ended up at Mount Lanakila through an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. He offered it to Anabel, but she believed that humanity shouldn't be entrusted with Necrozma's power, and instead gave the Beast Ball to the Ultra Recon Squad, with [[Zossie]] using it to catch Necrozma.

==In the TCG==
[[File:BeastBallCelestialStorm125.jpg|thumb|200px|Beast Ball]]
{{main|Beast Ball (Celestial Storm 125)}}
The {{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Beast Ball|125}}, released in the {{TCG|Celestial Storm}} expansion, allows the player to look at their Prize cards. If an Ultra Beast is found, they may reveal it and add it to their hand, replacing the Prize card with Beast Ball.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] only, {{p|Pheromosa}} and {{p|Kartana}} both have a [[catch rate]] of 255, meaning that Beast Balls can never fail to catch them in these games.
* In all European language versions of a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwgVAV-yG4c promotional trailer] for [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], {{p|Naganadel}} is shown to be sent out from a Beast Ball. However, there is no legitimate way to obtain a Naganadel in a Beast Ball in these games, as it is exclusively available as a [[gift Pokémon]] in a standard {{i|Poké Ball}} and as a gender unknown Pokémon, even if it could be bred, there would be no way to pass down a Beast Ball.
* Its Japanese name is the same as the [[Ultra Ball]] in English. "Ultra" in this case refers to "[[Ultra Beast]]s". This was likely changed due to the localization conflict with Ultra Ball, with "Beast" being used to refer to the Ultra Beasts instead.

Raid Battle (GO)

Mateussf: /* Raid Battle */7% raid damage bonus for Ultra Friends

{{search|feature in Pokémon GO|the feature in Pokémon Sword and Shield|Max Raid Battle}}
[[File:Pokémon GO raids artwork.png|thumb|300px|Promotional artwork featuring Raid Battles]]
A '''Raid Battle''' (Japanese: '''レイドバトル''' ''Raid Battle'') is a type of battle in {{g|GO}} that takes place at a {{OBP|Gym|GO}}. The goal of a Raid Battle is for players to collaboratively defeat the Raid Boss, a [[giant Pokémon]] with significantly inflated stats, within the time limit. Each Raid Boss is stationed at a particular Gym for a limited period of time, and players must use a [[Raid Pass]] to challenge it. As with other battles at Gyms, up to twenty trainers can join to fight the Raid Boss. After defeating the Raid Boss, players receive a variety of rewards and are given the opportunity to catch the Raid Boss.

==In Pokémon GO==
===Description===
''A raid is a battle where you and up to 20 other Trainers work together to defeat the Raid Boss—an extremely powerful Pokémon. Win to receive fantastic rewards and a chance to catch a stronger-than-normal Pokémon of your own!''

===Mechanics===
[[File:GO Guide Raid 1.jpg|thumb|200px|Nearby Raid Battles]]
From 5:00 a.m. to 8:59 p.m. local time, a Raid Egg may randomly spawn at any Gym, which does not already have a Raid Egg or Raid Boss, with a timer counting down until it hatches. Raid Eggs normally have a one-hour timer, but it may be shortened during certain in-game events. Once the egg hatches, the Raid Boss appears, and a new timer begins counting down until the Raid Boss disappears. Normally, Raid Bosses have a 45-minutes timer, but this can also vary during some in-game events. Effectively, a raid may begin any time from 6:00 a.m. to 9:59 p.m., and the latest a raid may be challenged is 10:44 p.m.

While a Raid Boss is present, a player may join a raid to challenge it by spending one [[Raid Pass]]. And during this time, Gym defenders cannot be challenged, cannot be fed [[Berry]] treats, and will not experience {{DL|Gym (GO)|motivation}} decay. Players will also not be able to deploy any more Pokémon to defend the Gym.

When a player uses a Raid Pass to join a raid, they enter a lobby with a two-minute countdown (from when the first player in that challenge entered the lobby), after which the Raid Battle immediately begins. While in the lobby, players can choose their team of six Pokémon to battle, use items from their [[Bag]], or invite {{OBP|friends|GO}} to raid remotely. The game automatically recommends a party to use based on the Raid Boss's weaknesses, as well as resistances against its move set. In the lobby, the player can see the other players currently waiting in that same lobby, along with which teams they belong to and whether their party has any [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon. Each lobby can hold up to 20 players; once a lobby has 20 players, newly joining players will instead be placed in a separate lobby for a separate challenge of that Raid Boss. If a player specifically chooses to quit a Raid Battle, either from the lobby or after the start of the Raid Battle, they cannot rejoin that same challenge{{tt|*|If the game crashes or is force-closed, a player will automatically rejoin the same raid upon interacting with the Gym again}}. Players can also opt to join a private group using a specific group code.

A Raid Pass is not removed from the Bag until the Raid Battle officially commences. After spending a Raid Pass, a player may repeatedly attempt that same raid until either they defeat the Raid Boss or the raid's timer expires. Raid Passes are not refunded if the player fails to complete a raid.

====Difficulty====
The difficulty of a Raid Battle varies depending on its level (also referred to as its tier or a by a star rating). A raid's difficulty can be seen even before the Raid Boss hatches, and it also determines the Raid Egg's color. A one-star raid typically has a basic Pokémon that can often be defeated by a single player, while five-star raids normally have [[Legendary]] Raid Bosses which may require at least several players to work together to defeat. Introduced on August 27, 2020 are Raid Battles featuring [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Raid Bosses of four-star{{tt|*|Five-star prior to April 28, 2022}} difficulty, known as a '''Mega Raid'''. On May 3, 2022, Raid Battles featuring Legendary Mega-Evolved Raid Bosses of six-star difficulty was introduced, which replaces both Legendary and Mega Raids during this time period.

Raid Bosses of the same tier all have in common a fixed HP value, Attack and Defense multiplier, and time limit for the raid. The following table details the Raid Eggs and values associated with Raid Bosses at each raid level.

|}

A Raid Boss's CP, as displayed during the raid, is determined using the standard CP formula. Note that the Attack and Defense multipliers are not factored into this calculation.

<math>CP = \left \lfloor \dfrac{\sqrt{HP} \times Attack \times \sqrt{Defense}}{10} \right \rfloor</math>

where
* <math>HP</math> is a fixed Boss HP value based on the raid level
* <math>Attack</math> = base Attack + 15
* <math>Defense</math> = base Defense + 15

During certain in-game events, the featured five-star Raid Bosses may use a different HP value than normal. Although still classified as a five-star raid in game and yielding the same rewards, these raids have been given unofficial designations as a result of their significantly affected difficulty:
* "Tier 6" raids have 50% more HP than standard tier 5 raids (22,500{{tt|*|18,750 before 2019}} HP)
** {{p|Mewtwo}} — Ultra Bonus 2018 and 2019
** {{p|Darkrai}} — [https://pokemongolive.com/en/post/halloween2019/ Halloween 2019]
* "Tier 4.5" raids have the same HP as tier 4 raids, but still use the longer time limit of tier 5 raids (9,000{{tt|*|7,500 before 2019}} HP)
** {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} — Raid Days (2018)
** {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} — [https://pokemongolive.com/en/post/a-regi-return-2019/ A Regi Return]

====Raid Battle====
During the Raid Battle, all normal battle techniques from Gym battles are available to the players. The Raid Boss attacks similarly to a [[Gym (GO)#Defender|Gym defender]]. As such, when a Raid Boss attacks, the damage is applied to all Pokémon on the battlefield. If a Raid Boss knows {{m|Hidden Power}}, it will always be set to {{t|Fighting}} type. The moves that a Raid Boss knows is randomly selected from its standard move pool and will remain the same throughout the entire raid. Therefore, different lobbies of players challenging the same Raid Boss will all battle against the same move set.

The group of players must defeat the Raid Boss within the time limit, otherwise the Raid Battle is lost. If all six of a player's Pokémon faint, the player is returned to the lobby, where they can heal their Pokémon using items from their Bag and choose six Pokémon to use to reenter the battle with; meanwhile the players who still have conscious Pokémon in their party continue to battle the Raid Boss.

Players who raid with {{OBP|friends|GO}} may deal extra damage depending on their highest Friendship level with another player. These bonuses are
* 3% for Good Friends
* 5% for Great Friends
* 7% for Ultra Friends
* 10% for Best Friends

Additionally, if any [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon are present on the battlefield on the players' side, then every Pokémon will deal bonus damage.
* 30% for all moves of the same types as any of the Mega-Evolved Pokémon's
* 10% otherwise for all other moves

Damage bonuses do not stack for having multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon present at once, and only the highest damage bonus will be used.

====Bonus challenge====
After being defeated, a Raid Boss will shrink down to normal size and can be captured during the bonus challenge. In Mega Raids, a Mega-Evolved Raid Boss will also revert to its normal form. Its stats will be reduced to normal, [[Power Up|powered up]] to level 20 (or 25 if its type has a [[Weather]] Boosted), and like Pokémon hatched from {{pkmn|Egg}}s, it will have random {{IV}}s of at least 10 per [[statistic|stat]]. The [[move]]s are also randomly re-rolled, so once captured, the Raid Boss may not necessarily know the same moves it used during the raid. [[Gender]] is the only fixed property, so different players winning the same raid will always encounter the Pokémon with the same gender. Raid Bosses have a chance of becoming [[Shiny Pokémon (GO)|Shiny]] during the bonus challenge if its Shiny form is obtainable by encounter. Since March 2018, with the introduction of Shiny Pokémon in Legendary raids, a Shiny Pokémon is guaranteed capture when successfully hit by a Ball.

For the bonus challenge, players are given [[Premier Ball]]s to capture the defeated Raid Boss. These Premier Balls are the only Poké Balls that can be used, but players may still use [[Berry|Berries]] from their Bag. If the player runs out of Premier Balls, the Raid Boss will flee, but will not flee otherwise. Even if the player fails to catch the Raid Boss, once they have successfully completed a Raid Battle, they cannot participate in it again.

Each player may receive between 6 and 24 Premier Balls for their bonus challenge, in which amount rewarded depends on the player's individual contribution to damage dealt, highest [[Friends (GO)|Friendship level]] with another participant, whether the Gym was under the player's team's control, and how quickly the raid was completed. Any leftover Premier Balls will be discarded and cannot be used for future raid challenges. In Mega Raids, the speed bonus rewards [[Mega Energy|Mega Energies]] corresponding to the Raid Boss; all other raids reward bonus Premier Balls instead.

===Rewards===
Upon completing a first attempt of a raid, participants are rewarded {{stardust}}1,000 regardless of victory. Winning a raid rewards all participants:
* [[Trainer level]] XP (amount depends on raid level)
* 1,000 Gym Badge XP
* Various item rewards

The following table was last updated November 15, 2020. It shows the quantity per bundle and an estimated probability based on empirical data.<ref>[https://thesilphroad.com/science/exploring-raid-rewards Exploring Raid Rewards - The Silph Road]</ref>

Since December 5, 2019, four-star raids guarantee a [[Charged TM]] as one of the reward bundles.<ref>[https://twitter.com/NianticHelp/status/1202706416986923010 Niantic Support Twitter]</ref> Following the retirement of two- and four-star raids, the prizes for one- and three-star raids have been increased to match what used to be given from two- and four-star raids, respectively. <ref>[https://twitter.com/NianticHelp/status/1298779087696064512 Niantic Support Twitter]</ref>

Six-star Legendary Mega Raids yield the same rewards as four-star Mega Raids.

* Gym Control

===Trainer Achievements===
{{incomplete|section|Mechanics on how/which achievements are awarded}}
Raid Battle Trainer Achievements is a feature that was added to Raid Battles on June 24, 2021. Upon successfully completing a Raid Battle, a screen will display any individual achievements earned by players during that raid. Trainer Achievements have no effect on the other rewards earned from a raid. Each type of achievement can only be awarded to at most one player, and each player can only earn at most one achievement.

The following lists all the Trainer Achievements that can be awarded from a raid:
* '''Charged and Ready''' — Performed ___ Charged Attacks
* '''Final Strike''' — Delivered the final attack
* '''Flush with Friends''' — Battled with ___ friends in the raid
* '''Hardest Hitter''' — Dealt ___ damage
* '''Mega Master''' — Used a Mega-Evolved Pokémon in battle
* '''Raid Buddy''' — Brought a Buddy Pokémon into battle
* '''Stamina Specialist''' — Battled for ___ seconds
* '''Style Savant''' — Dressed to Impress
* '''The Big One''' — Brought the largest Pokémon into battle
* '''Traveler''' — Joined from ___ km away
* '''Walk Star''' — Walked ___ km yesterday before the raid

===EX Raids===
[[File:GO EX Raid Invite.png|200px|thumb|An EX Raid invitation]]
'''Exclusive Raids''' (abbreviated as '''EX Raids''') are five-star raids that require an EX Raid Pass to join. EX Raid Passes are given out to players that have completed a raid at a chosen EX Raid Gym in the previous week. These EX Raid Gyms are generally situated at sponsored venues or in parks, and they can be identified by an "EX Raid Gym" label on the top right-hand corner of the Gym screen and by a darker green shade on the map. The EX Raid Pass is a one-time offer, and should a player not be present, the pass will expire and disappear from their inventory. During an EX Raid, players without passes cannot see the Egg or Raid Boss, and if they attempt to interact with the Gym, they will be informed that the Gym is closed and will reopen when the EX Raid has ended.

With few exceptions, EX Raids typically occur once every calendar week, on no particular day of the week, with the respective EX Raid Passes automatically distributed at least one week in advance. Each player can only receive one EX Raid Pass per distribution, even if they have raided at multiple Gyms selected for an EX Raid that week.

If a player receives an EX Raid Pass from a scheduled distribution, they may invite only one [[Friends (GO)|Ultra Friend]] to the EX Raid; however, even if the friend declines, they will not be able to issue another invitation. Although a player may hold multiple EX Raid Passes at once, they may only have one EX Raid Pass via invitation at a time. If a player wishes to invite a friend who already has an EX Raid invitation, the game will not allow it until that invitation is first used, expired, or declined. Players also cannot send invitations to EX Raids that have already started.

Very rarely, EX Raids may be cancelled for various reasons (such as a Gym being removed or major real-world incidents). Players with the respective EX Raid Passes usually have been compensated with {{stardust}}50,000 and five Premium Raid Passes. Due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], EX Raids have been indefinitely suspended since March 2020. {{p|Genesect}}, which was originally scheduled to be the next EX Raid Boss, has since been featured in standard five-star raids instead.

The following lists all the EX Raid Bosses by availability dates in reverse chronological order.

===Special events===
====Pokémon GO at Pikachu Outbreak====
During the Pikachu Outbreak event on August 9–15, 2017, special Raid Bosses were available at Pokémon GO Park events in Japan. These Raid Bosses have not been made available since the event. These were all classified as level 4 Bosses.

{{p|Mewtwo}} was also available as a level 5 Raid Boss during the event on August 14, 2017, at Yokohama Stadium, marking the first time that it had become available to players. Players who win the raid will also receive a minimum of 50 Premier Balls (instead of 6) for their bonus challenge.

====Raid Days====
'''Raid Days''' (also known as '''Special Raid Challenges''') are time-limited events which allow players to defeat a Raid Boss within a three-hour window. Most Gyms during this period of time will have the Boss active for the three hours, and if the Boss is defeated, the Pokémon encounter afterwards will have a 10% chance of becoming [[Shiny]].<ref>[https://thesilphroad.com/science/lapras-raid-day-shiny-rate/ LAPRAS RAID DAY: SHINY RATE]</ref> Players may receive up to five free Raid Passes from Gyms during the three hour window. Raid Days often include event-exclusive moves, which may be known by the featured Pokémon if obtained during the raid hours (including via evolution or capture outside of raids).

=====Professor Willow's Global Challenge 2018=====
The first three Raid Challenges, the [[Legendary birds]], were unlocked as part of Professor Willow's Global Challenge 2018, which ran over six days over the period from June 30 to September 2, 2018. As all three parts were successfully completed, all three legendary birds were available to players again from September 13 - 20, 2018 as part of the Ultra Bonus Event.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/en/post/globalchallenge-ultrabonus/ Professor Willow’s Global Research Challenge Ends with a Power-Packed Ultra Bonus Event!]</ref>

====Legendary Raid Hour====
Legendary Raid Hours were introduced to increase opportunities for more players to participate in Legendary Raids. Initially as an experiment, the event was known as Legendary Lunch Hour, in which level 5 Raid Bosses spawned in many Gyms all at once from 12 p.m. and remained for an entire hour until 1 p.m. After receiving player feedback, the hour was changed to start at 6 p.m. and remain until 7 p.m. Raid Eggs will also spawn with a 20-minute timer before the start of the raids. Only Gyms that do not currently have Raid Bosses or Eggs may spawn a raid for Legendary Raid Hour.

* {{p|Groudon}} - May 1, 2019, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (unannounced)

Since June 5, 2019, there has been a Legendary Raid Hour every Wednesday from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/en/post/legendaryraidhoursjune2019/ Get ready for Legendary Raid Hours every Wednesday evening in June!]</ref> Exception were on July 10 and July 31, 2019, when the Raid Hour was skipped due to the Legendary Raid Boss rotating the same day, which would have resulted in different Raid Bosses depending on the time zone. The Raid Hour for Mewtwo, on September 18, 2019, was also cancelled for most nations following reports of raids not appearing in New Zealand and appearing 30 minutes ahead of schedule in South Australia and Northern Territory; a makeup date was rescheduled for October 8, 2019, with players being able to obtain two additional free Raid Passes during the hour.

Due to the gathering restrictions put into effect because of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], the Raid Hour on March 18, 2020, was cancelled, and no Raid Hours took place until May 6.

===Updates===
* On February 3, 2019, the HP of three-, four-, and five-star Raid Bosses were increased by 20%. This adjustment was made to account for the recently increased multiplier for super effective moves.
* On August 27, 2020, Raid Battles have been consolidated from five levels to three; level 2 Raid Bosses were added to the level 1 pool, and level 4 Raid Bosses were added to the level 3 pool.<ref>[https://twitter.com/NianticHelp/status/1298779086332993536 Niantic Support Twitter]</ref>
* On September 3, 2020, the amount of [[Mega Energy|Mega Energies]] earned from a Mega Raid was significantly increased.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/post/megaevolution-updates Community Note: Updates to Mega Evolution - Pokémon GO]</ref>

==In the anime==
[[File:Raid Battle anime.png|thumb|250px|A Raid Battle in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
A Raid Battle was first seen in ''[[JN002|Legend? Go! Friends? Go!]]'', where a group of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, including {{Ash}}, teamed up to battle a {{p|Lugia}} that appeared in [[Vermilion City]]. However, Lugia was able to easily withstand all of the attacks thrown at it and defeat its opponents with little effort.

Another Raid Battle took place in ''[[JN014|Raid Battle in The Ruins!]]'', where Ash, [[Goh]], {{OBP|Kira|JN014}}, the excavation {{OBP|leader|JN014}}, and [[Shane Seeker]] participated in one against a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Goh|Golurk}} in the [[Colossus Ruins]]. After Golurk was defeated, it was {{pkmn2|caught}} by Goh.

In ''[[JN040|A Crackling Raid Battle!]]'', Ash, Goh, [[Jessie]], and [[James]] fought a {{p|Zapdos}} in a Raid Battle at the [[Kanto Power Plant]]. However, {{TRT}} soon abandoned the Raid Battle in favor of trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]], leaving Goh to battle Zapdos alone. Despite managing to land some hits on it, Goh ultimately failed to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]].

In ''[[JN102|Raiding on Thin Ice!]]'', Ash, Goh, {{Gary}}, and [[Horace]] took part in a Raid Battle against an {{p|Articuno}} at the [[Seafoam Islands]]. For the last three, the Raid Battle served as a [[Project Mew]] [[Field Research|Trial Mission]]. While they failed to defeat Articuno, they still fared well enough to pass the mission.

Hm. I typed in the "Delta" symbol, and it brought up this page without a "redirected" sign. Perhaps because it reads it as a triangle. [[User:TinaTheKirlia|TinaTheKirlia]] [[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|♪]][[User:TinaTheKirlia/Sandbox|☆]] 03:48, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

: Because δ is lowercase Greek letter delta and Δ is capital Greek letter delta. The wiki software automatically capitalizes the first letter of the page title no matter what. [[User:Zurqoxn|Zurqoxn]] 03:54, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

== Dual type in TCG ==

Are these the only cards that can be dual type in the TCG? How does dual type affect weaknesses and resistances? If a dual type Metal and Grass pokemon hits a Pokemon weak to Metal, is the damage doubled? What if the defending Pokemon is weak to one type but resists the other? There should be a section explaining this, either in this article or elsewhere. [[User:Mateussf|Mateussf]] ([[User talk:Mateussf|talk]]) 11:12, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Catch rate

2022-03-30T14:56:01Z

Mateussf: /* Gen 8 level modifier */ new section

==Untitled==
The computer science term for "Floor" is, in fact, "int(", which simply truncates the number. "round(" would make a value like 6.9 become 7; "int(" would make it 6. I believe Zhen is correct in this case. ~Evan
:What was that in reference to? - Jshadias
::Zhen's edit and your subsequent reversion, if I read the history right. ~Evan
:::He was just editing it to make it consistent with my other changes. In any case, the after revision is the right-side column. In any case, trunc() and floor() are the same, but int() is ambiguous. It simply means conversion to integer, which could be rounding or truncating. Wish I could get TeX-rendering working... - [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 09:40, 12 Feb 2005 (GMT)

== Is this formula accurate? ==

When using the formula

Chance = floor (((( TotalHP * 4 ) - ( CurrentHP * 2 )) * CatchRate ) / TotalHP ) + Status + 1

with Pokémon with high catch rates (ex. Pidgey and Rattata), the formula says that there should be about a 200% chance to catch a Pidgey at 100% HP. But there isn't a 200% chance or even a 100% chance. I caught 5 Pokémon on Route 1 of FireRed without weakening any of them and I used 15 Pokéballs. Despite the sample size, the fact that the Pokémon escaped even once is enough to raise concern about the formula. Any other thoughts on the matter? -Wild Eep

:Experimental data isn't the same as theoretical results. But then again, methinks you might be misinterpreting the results of using this formula. The formula does not return a percentage, it returns a number, and in order to capture a Pokémon, the randomly generated number between 0 and 255 (or possibly a higher number than that, say, 511) has to be below the number you obtain from this formula. But I'm not the game mechanics expert. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 02:16, 25 November 2005 (CST)

Hmm. . . using the formula for any pokémon at any level with full HP and no status ailments with a catch rate of 255 gives an output of 511. Every site I could find has the exact same formula, and they all say the random number is between 0-255. Those that site sources site [[user:Meowth346|Meowth346]] as their source, so maybe he knows, or can find out. [[User:Slim|Slim]] 15:54, 29 November 2005 (CST)

:Indeed, there seems to be something off with either this formula or the listed CatchRates. Trying to catch a Pokemon simply by chucking a normal Pokeball at it (that is, no damage done, no status changes) simplifies as so:

:Chance = floor (Poké Ball * (((( TotalHP * 4 ) - ( CurrentHP * 2 )) * CatchRate ) / TotalHP ) + Status + 1)

:Chance = floor (1 * (((( TotalHP * 4 ) - ( TotalHP * 2 )) * CatchRate ) / TotalHP ) + 0 + 1)

:Chance = floor ((( TotalHP * 2 * CatchRate ) / TotalHP ) + 1)

:Chance = floor (( 2 * CatchRate ) + 1)

:For any CatchRate of 128 or higher, Chance is at least 257. The random number between 0 and 255 this is compared to will always be less than this, and as a result any Pokemon with a CatchRate of 128 or higher should always be caught simply by chucking a Pokeball at it. Yet this does not seem to be the case -- you can't always catch an Abra this way, despite them having a CatchRate of 200. This should give them a Chance of 401, and thus a 100% catch rate.

::I just noticed something -- note the following line in the article:
:::'''CurrentHP''' is either the wild Pokémon's current HP, or if its current HP is greater than 255, use ''floor ( '''CurrentHP''' / 4)''.
::It doesn't make sense to simply replace '''CurrentHP''' with ''floor ( '''CurrentHP''' / 4)'' -- that would make for a very strange function, where a Pokemon with 256 HP would be easier to catch than one with 68. Replacing all of ''('''CurrentHP''' * 2 )'' just makes the problem worse. This suggests a typographical error somewhere in either the formula or its explanation.

::I had a hunch, and replaced ''(( '''TotalHP''' * 4 ) - ( '''CurrentHP''' * 2 ))'' with ''(( '''TotalHP''' / 4 ) - ( '''CurrentHP''' / 2 ))''. Unfortunately, that's not right either -- according to that forumla, a Pokemon above 50% health will have a negative Chance value and thus can NEVER be caught. We know that is not the case. However, I suspect something along those lines is the solution. Perhaps one of those multiplications is supposed to be a division instead. Is there any healthy chunk of experimental data to look at? [[User:Opaopa13|Opaopa13]] 05:24, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Examining an emulated copy of Pokemon Red, I did, indeed, find it impossible to NOT catch any Rattata or Pidgey I threw a Pokeball at. I was more than ready to believe this formula were true. But, as Opaopa13 said, we know it isn't, because anyone who has played the Red or Blue versions knows Abra is not so easy to catch.

Interestingly, I tried the same thing on a Pidgey in an emulated copy of the Gold version (throwing a ball at it when it was at full health), and failed to capture it until my third try.

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE! - Pineapple

:It would be easy to explain this if Abra's catch rate was just wrong, but the catch rates must have been data-mined, so that's out. Allow me to be completely speculative here, but perhaps it's something like a rare few Pokemon having an additional chance to escape capture? Or certain catch rates that are influenced by what badges you have? It would be odd to have something like that when the programmers could just alter something's catch rate instead, though...

:Well, we _know_ we get the wrong results for Abra. I'm guessing there was some minor typo somewhere, or else some minor modifier to the formula we aren't aware of.

:On a side-note, I'm still really confused by the "if CurrentHP > 256, use (CurrentHP / 4) instead" thing. I just can't imagine any reason, technical or modelling-wise, where "use CurrentHP = 255" doesn't work just as well or better. Or at least divide by 2! (Pokemon HP never exceeds 1024, right? Thinking in terms of the number of bits it takes to represent these numbers...). [[User:Opaopa13|Opaopa13]] 19:22, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I strongly suspect that the only problem with the formula on the site is the 2. I know that's how the old equation simplifies, so the original was probably off as well. 1+INT(B*(2-P)*C+S) makes perfect sense. Then a Pidgey or other Pokemon with a catch rate of 255 is guaranteed to be caught, since at full health and no ailments, you get 256. Any number from 0-255 will be lower than that, so you'll always catch it. On the other hand, a legendary Pokemon with 1/10th of its health left, paralyzed, with an ultra ball thrown an it, is 1+INT(2*1.9*3+5), or 17. 17/256 (since it's a less than roll, not less than or equal to) is about 6.6% (1 in 15). That seems about right, given that it's taken an average of 15-20 ultra balls for me to catch most of the legendaries. The current formula says it would be 28/256, or 10.9% (about 1 in 9), which is definitely not right. Easiest way to test would be to repeatedly try catching something with a catch rate around 120, using a standard ball, and see if it happens about half the time.

== The correct formula ==

Apparently someone at Smogon found an extremely complex formula on a Japanese website. A good friend of mine simplified it and it seems to be 100% Accurate:

( ( 1 - CurHP * 2 / ( MaxHP * 3 ) ) * Catch * Ball * Status ) / 256

Status:
*1 for Normal
*1.5 for Poisoned, Paralyzed, or Burned
*2 for Asleep or Frozen

Examples:
*A level 2 Rattata, with 13/13 HP, catch rate 255, using a Pokeball. No status effects.
**( ( 1 - 13 * 2 / ( 13 * 3 ) ) * 255 * 1 * 1 ) / 256
**= 0.33203125
**~ 33%
*A level 70 Regigigas, with 1/234 HP, frozen, catch rate 3, using a Dusk ball.
**( ( 1 - 1 * 2 / ( 234 * 3 ) ) * 3 * 4 * 2 ) / 256
**= 0.093482906
**~ 9%

== Formula is nowhere near correct ==

I just tried catching a Lv. 13 Feebas at full health (30 HP). I threw three dusk balls at it (while in the cavern, of course), and they all broke. On the fourth try I was able to catch it. It has a catch rate of 255, so according to this formula I have maybe a 400% chance of catching it at full health. Even going by the catch rate alone, I should have had a 100% chance of catching it. This wasn't an atypical situation either. I tried catching a few more before and after this one, and I generally wasn't able to capture them until I weakened them (I caught maybe one or two without hurting it). Once I threw an ultra ball at one, and it immediately broke. I think the pokemon's HP ratio definitely has a lot more to do with catching it than what this formula suggests.

If there are any sources on that other function that someone submitted in here (I don't know how to reply to comments, sorry :<), then that would be really nice. But I tried that equation on the above-mentioned feebas and got (1-(30*2)/(30*3))*255*4*1)/256 (the pokeball page on here says that the dusk ball is 4x in caverns, and Wikipedia says it's twice as good as an ultraball, so I'm going with 4x), which equals 340/256, or 1.328125. This is still above a 100% catch rate on something that seemed like it was maybe 50%. Even going with the assumption that the dusk ball is only 3x better than a pokeball, I still got 255/256, which awfully close to 100%. So unless the dusk ball didn't have its 3x/4x effect (maybe from me fishing in the cavern instead of walking in the cavern?), I don't think this function is true either.

:Were you surfing by any chance? There has to be some way to explain this. Feebas is extremely easy to capture regardless.

I think there should be an easier explanation included in this article, something of a tl;dr section. To me, this is all mathematical mumbo-jumbo, and I commonly fail anything and everything algebraic. I could honestly care less how the game determines how a pokemon is caught, I just know that I need to lower the HP of the wild Pokémon and possibly inflict a status problem on it to catch it. Also, on major thing that's missing from the article is it doesn't explain if a higher number for a catch rate is better or worse. It may be a dumb question to ask (but I don't honestly get it, either) but you quite often have to write for the five-year-old poké-tards that will be here.

::Luxury Balls increase the rate at which your pokemon becomes friendly from actions as outlined in the [[Happiness]] article.

== Reworking the ''a'' term ==

In every location in this article that I can tell, it would be clearer if ''a'' were already divided by 255, i.e. substituting ''a''/255 = ''a''/(2^8 - 1) in each formula with a new variable. (Even that odd-looking 16711680 is 255 * 65536 .) Then ''a'' simply becomes equal to the approximation to ''p'' and there is an obvious intuitive meaning to it. I used this idea in the new lede, and it'd probably be clearer to do this in the rest of the article as well.

Is there some reason why ''a'' was defined this way that I don't know of? [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 11:39, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

== Trivia on HP ==

There's a bit in the "Trivia" section about high-HP Pokémon being easier to catch at 1 HP than lower-HP ones. This is true, but it also states that "Pokémon with higher HP stats (such as Chansey) are easier to capture when their HP is reduced, despite low catch rates compared to others." But there isn't a big-enough effect to overwhelm the catch rate except at very very low HP levels. The equation in the current article can be reorganized this way:
a = catch_rate * ball_bonus * status_bonus * (1 - 2/3 * (currentHP / maxHP) )
And at 1 HP:
a = catch_rate * ball_bonus * status_bonus * (1 - 2/(3 * maxHP))
And comparing the HP penalties at 1 HP:
* 10 HP max: 1 - 2/(3 * 10) = 1 - 2/30 = 6.7% penalty (i.e. 0.933x)
* 20 HP max: 1 - 2/(3 * 20) = 1 - 2/60 = 3.3% penalty
* 100HP max: 1 - 2/(3 * 100) = 1 - 2/300 = 0.66% penalty
* 200HP max: 1 - 2/(3 * 200) = 1 - 2/600 = 0.33% penalty
... Once you get past 20ish HP, shaving off bits of that last 3% of (multiplicative) penalty is pretty negligible, equivalent to around 7 points of catch rate at most (3% of 255). [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 10:40, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

In Generation I, the mechanisms are somewhat different. For example, the number of shakes doesn't seem to be determined randomly and a Poké Ball can even entirely miss a target. Do the Gen.

::With this, if all the other factors in the formula multiplied would result in a number less than one, 'a' would be less than 255 and thus, the Pokémon would have a chance of escaping. Quoting from the article, "The minimum value for 'a' (for a Pokémon with full health) would be ⅓ × catch rate." Since the result of the formula without the BonusBall component has to be at least one for the Master Ball to work reliably, this means that the catch rate must at least be 3 (as ⅓ × 3 = 1).

All of what I've said above was, of course, simply evidence that pointed in the direction of a Master Ball with a value of 255.

If "a" is actually rounded down to an integer (which is actually stated in the article), then it would have to be at least 1 for the formula to work. However, this seems strange considering your last statement about the algorithm in Generation I. I haven't looked at it closely, but I guess it also needed catch rates of at least 3.

In the Critical Capture section right now, it says "A random number is generated, and if it is less than the modified value, a critical capture occurs." But what range is the random number in? [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 20:38, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
:It seems sensible for the range to be 0 to 255 inclusive, since that is the base of the modified value. [[User:Naokohiro|Naokohiro]] 23:54, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

== Catch chance ==
Can anybody tell me whether the chance to catch a Pokémon in Generation I is equal to them in Generation II (and the others) or the chance is different? E.g. I throw an ordinary ball to a full-healthy Weedle. Is the chance to catch it in all generations identically (according to [[Weedle]] 33,3%) despite the fact the capture methods are different? I'm sorry again for my bad English! --[[User:LaBumm|LaBumm]] 04:29, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

== Doubt Generation III Algorithm ==
I'm starting to doubt the generation III algorithm. These are my findings in FireRed. I calculated for a paralyzed lvl 50 Moltres at 1 HP (exactly 1 HP due to endure) with a maximum HPmax of 165 (courtesy of Pokemon.Marriland.com) and a capture rate of 3 with an Ultra Ball. 
A = (3x165-2x1)x3x2/3/156x1.5 = 8 (rounded down) 
B = (2^16-1)xA^(1/4)/(255)^(1/4) = 27581 (rounded down) 
This gives a success rate of: 
(27581 / 65535)^4 = 0.031 (rounded down) or 3.1% 
At the moment I have thrown 400 (FOUR HUNDRED!) Ultra Balls, and still not captured it. 
The chance of that happening would be (1-0.031)^400 = 0.000002902 or 1:344550 
Please tell me I made a mistake in my calculation. It lies rather far outside the normal 0.05 error margin for experimental testing of hypotheses. 
I redid the same sort of testing for Zapdos, I didn't calculate my exact chances, this time I didn't manage to catch it in 200 tries. 
[[User:Ghostbird|Ghostbird]] 00:11, 25 November 2011 (UTC) EDITED: [[User:Ghostbird|Ghostbird]] 12:41, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

I retried catching Moltres and this time I caught it after 15-20 tries. (I wasn't counting) 
The only differences I knew of:
* I had defeated team rocket in Saffron and Giovanni in Viridian's gym.
* I was facing it with a pokémon over lvl 50. (However I caught Articuno using a lvl 30-ish pokemon)
* It was at more than 1 HP (he had a two pixel health bar).

I retried catching Zapdos and this time I did 200 fruitless tries. I noticed that though it had very little health left, it almost always broke free at the first check. 
Something that you should know:
* I've been using a state reload system to quickly retry catching when the capture failed. (Otherwise these capture tests, which require as much attempts as possible, are infeasible.)

I managed to Capture Zapdos on try 41 after reloading the original save (not a state save), (re)initiating combat and then using the reload state method. This time it generally broke free much later, often passing two shake checks and only breaking free at the last check, until I captured it. 

Hypothesis:
* There's something that influences catch rate, which kicks in before you are at the [Use|Cancel] screen after selecting the capture device (Ultra Ball). 
[[User:Ghostbird|Ghostbird]] 17:55, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

* I believe your problem is the fact that you are using the same save state over and over. Typically, random number generators (RNG) initialize with a single random number called the seed and derive subsequent random values using a mathematical formula. When you save a state on your emulator, you are also saving the current state of the RNG used. So theoretically, you are asking the RNG for a random number in the same exact state each time, resulting in the same result every time you reload. I think this is why you managed to capture your Zapados some time after reloading the original save (new random seed). I'm not sure exactly how you used the reload state method after reinitializing combat. Did you have to hard reload the game 41 times or did you reload once and use the save state 41 times? Please elaborate on this. [[User:Invgamma|Invgamma]] 20:45, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

== Investigation of the RNG ==

I recently thought about the specific cases where the catch formula does not seem to describe the behavior of certain Pokemon. On review, I noticed that the catch formula assumes that every random number generated is completely independent of every other random number. If the random number were using some sort of non-deterministic input to calculate a new seed every time a number is requested, this certainly would be true; however, this is normally not the case.

Consider the case of an encounter with a rare Pokemon with a somewhat high catch rate. Assume that the game finds a new random seed whenever an encounter is supposed to happen (probably sometime before) and uses that number to both determine the Pokemon encountered and to seed further random numbers. When you ask the RNG to generate the next couple random numbers, they are completely dependent on the algorithm used and the seed. With a rare Pokemon, the number of random seeded values that result in an encounter with it is sizable, but smaller than a common Pokemon. If the RNG is not reseeded, the number of possible scenarios (with strings of random numbers) greatly decreases. In this case, it could simply be a mathematical oddity (of the algorithm) where the select few seeds that allows an encounter with a rare Pokemon has subsequent random values that allow it to easily be caught (or even possibly more difficult to catch).

If this is the case, then the rarity of each Pokemon can easily influence catch probabilities by "shaping" the subsequent numbers (by pure mathematical accident). Some random values might even be impossible for, let's say, the first pokeball thrown right after an encounter of a rarer Pokemon.
[[User:Invgamma|Invgamma]] 21:02, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

* Just ran a couple of scenarios on an emulated version of Pokemon White. If I load save states right before encountering a Pokemon (a legendary that you can approach), you can get different random seeds for the battle (first action resulted differently each time). This probably means that the seed for the battle is determined based on conditions right when you encounter the pokemon. [[User:Invgamma|Invgamma]] 23:58, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

:Just to let you know, I've done the investigation already :) Check Smogon's RNG Research thread[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3698857&postcount=765] to get filled in on how the game seeds the battle RNG and (approximately) does the majority of battle RNG operations. RNG is only reseeded between battles. Every game uses 4 random numbers for the shake calculations, the only thing new in gen 5 is the critical capture calc.
:First it calculates if critical capture, then the shake/capture values. If result < CV, pass check. Total of 4 for regular catch, 1 for CC.

== A comment on Critical Capture ==

Having read through the article and especially the section describing the critical capture, it occurred to me that since it usually uses three shake checks, it is cubing the base probability of capture. By only using one shake check, it does not get cubed, which is why it allows capture to occur easier. However, the amount it increases capture rate is dependent on how difficult it is to capture in the first place. Another way to think about what I previously said is to take any specific set of conditions (a species in the wild, how much HP it has out of its total HP, and if it has any status ailments) and calculate the probability of catching it with any one type of ball. You could then take that final probability and, assuming that the same exact conditions and ball are used, a critical capture will increase the chances of capture to the cube root of the capture probability without a critical capture. This relationship means that the lower the capture rate is in specific conditions, the more difference a critical will make in the probability of catching it.

A couple examples would be if a legendary pokemon is attempting to be caught in specific conditions that would create a normal capture probability of 1%, if it is instead a critical capture, that will increase to a 21.5% capture probability. However, at higher capture probability this difference is much smaller. If there is an easily captured pokemon at low health, with a status ailment, and the normal capture probability is 90%, a critical capture in the same circumstances would mean a 96.5% capture probability.

Is this worth adding into the article, or am I just having too much fun with the math?[[User:Morranr|Mor'ranr]] 16:07, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

:It would be cool to see the adjusted probability of that helping, but I don't think it would be one dimensional because of the different critical capture rates.
: If critical capture calc passes, shake check once; else thrice.
:[[User:Kaphotics|Kaphotics]] 00:04, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

:I definitely think it is useful to point out the relationship, and the difference in effect between Pokémon with low rates and high rates. But it might be better to use "realistic" numbers for any examples in the article (i.e. 3/255 instead of 1%). [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 05:07, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
:<s>Wait, shouldn't it be fourth root? The article says there's needs to be one shake check to pass instead of ''four'' normally. [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 05:14, 24 February 2012 (UTC)</s>
:: Oops, no, was accidentally looking at a different generation. [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 07:40, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
::: Fourth roots and third roots never happen in game. The b equation listed is just a probability of you catching (ie all the shake compares lumped together). It does a*0x100 > rand(0,65535) for a pass shake calc. 4 times for gen 3-4, 3x for gen 5 after criticalcapture. That's the one gripe I have about this page, the mathematical approximations aren't what the game does. [[User:Kaphotics|Kaphotics]] 19:22, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
:::: I'm not sure what you're saying here. Yes, the algorithm used for a shake check is not literally a third or fourth root. But while it's nice to document the exact algorithm somewhere, it's probably much more useful to explain the practical results of the algorithm - thus why there are the approximations used in the lede (and occasionally sprinkled elsewhere). You can be sure that when the game designers were playing with formulas, they were doing it in general terms, not caring about whether the RNG was 16-bit or whether a division rounded up or down. The algorithms in the code are crafted to follow their intent. (The difference is famously illustrated in that [https://www.google.com/search?q=pokemon+serious+business old "Pokémon: Serious Business" image] that had an old version of this article - indeed, it's what inspired me to craft the new lede in the first place.) Let's keep our audience in mind.
:::: Though, that does bring up something else: it might be a good idea to more clearly separate the exact algorithms from the approximate interpretations, instead of the hodgepodge mix in the article currently. [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 05:23, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

:::: Kaphotics (or, anyone), could you elaborate on "It does a*0x100 > rand(0,65535) for a pass shake calc."? I don't understand how multiplying by 256 is equivalent to 65536 / (255/''a'')(1/4) as listed in the article. —[[User:Naokohiro|Naokohiro]] 10:55, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
::::: When I wrote that I wasn't thinking clearly, it does keep the 4th root and such. For every check it does - rand(0xFFFF) and compares it to b. If it is less than b, it passes the wiggle calc and checks again until it either fails or the wiggles result in capture. [[User:Kaphotics|Kaphotics]] 17:45, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

== Generation V -- Interesting Probabilities ==

Since we are still getting the 4th root of the initial probability a and doing 3 shake checks, that makes the chance of capture when the critical capture chance is 0 equal to a3/4.

This takes what would normally be a linear probability always equal to a and puts it on an exponential curve.

If we have more than 30 in the dex, the probability now changes. There is a (a*m)*a1/4 chance of getting a critical capture and then succeeding in capture. Let m be the multiplier for critical capture which is based on the amount caught in the Pokédex. There's also a (1 - a*m)*a3/4 chance of getting a normal capture. So, the total chance of getting a capture is now (a*m)*a1/4 + (1 - a*m)*a3/4 (with m=0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, or 2.5 respectively).

What this does is make an increasingly steeper curve the higher the value of m, but the curve always starts at (0, 0) and ends at (1, 1).
Actually, in the higher values for m, the curve actually gets so steep that it begins to increase a by more than 100% for part of the curve, which suggests a higher chance of capture when the Pokémon isn't completely at its weakest.
I just thought this information was interesting. It's almost like catching Pokémon has its own level up system. [[User:Naokohiro|Naokohiro]] 00:55, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

== Level ball ==

The formula seems to be flawed for the Level Ball. I'm playing HeartGold and I was trying to catch a level 4 Aipom (full health) using my level 58 Crobat. According the the formula, I should have had a 140% chance of catch the Aipom with a Level Ball. I threw 3 or 4 level balls at the Aipom and all of them broke. I've generally found most Pokémon to be more difficult to catch than this formula and their catch rates indicated that they should be, but the Level Ball, in particular, doesn't seem to increase catch rates significantly, if at all.

== The Formula Simplified (as much as possible) ==
Here's the simple explanation (in Gen V): Your chances to catch a Pokemon are based on 5 things normally (6, if you count capture power, but that is not a normal thing).

'''1st. Species Specific Catch Chance:''' Meaning some pokemon are super easy to catch and come are super hard. The only way to look get this is to just look up the Pokemon, it's Catch Rate is listed in it's info box (on a scale of 0 to 255). So, if it has a 255, you will catch it.
:Pretty much a 100% chance. If it is a 45 (like Celibi) then you only have a 6% chance to catch it before any other factors.

'''2nd. It's Current Health:''' If the creature is at full HP, than your normal chances are cut to 1/3. This means that a 255 would be a 33% chance with a Pokeball at full HP and a Celibi would be a 2% chance. This continues to decrease all the way to 1 HP,
:which gives you between 99% and 99.9% of your normal. Meaning the HP basically no longer negatively affects your catch chance at 1 HP.

'''3rd. The Type of Ball Used:''' You have a normal chance with a Pokeball. Your chance is multiplied by 1.5x for a Great Ball, 2x for an Ultra Ball, 3x for a Repeat or Net Ball, 3.5x for Dive or Dusk Ball, 4x for a Timer or Nest Ball (at max), and 5x for a Quick Ball.
:These all assume you are using them correctly (i.e. Dusk in caves, Repeat on owned Pokemon, and Quick in round 1). Timer and Nest balls can multiply your chances by everything from 1x to 4x (including 3.2134x or some other random number).
:Nest Balls are 4x for a level 1 Pokemon, 3x for a level 11, 2x for a level 21, and 1x for everything above level 30. Timer balls are 1x in the first round, 2x after 10 rounds, 3x after 20, and 4x after 30 rounds.
:This means, if you are trying to catch a pokemon with a catch rate of 255 (easiest possible) at full HP with a Great Ball your chances would start at 100% for the 255, drop to 33% because he is at full HP, and then would increase back to 50% with a Great Ball ((((255 * .33) * 1.5) = 114.75) 114.75/255 = 0.495).
:The same Pokemon would be a 100% chance of catching it with a Quick, Dive, or Dusk Ball (also 100% with a Nest or Timer Ball at max conditions). It is still a 99% chance with a Repeat or Net Ball. It is only a 66% chance; however, with an Ultra Ball or a 50% chance with a Great Ball.
:It would be a 33% chance with a normal Pokeball (Basically normal, Great, and Ultra Balls suck).

'''4th. Status Ailments:''' This is simple, and it stacks multiplicity. Meaning if the pokemon is Paralyzed, Poisoned, or Burned then your chances are 1.5x and if it is Slept or Frozen, then your chances are 2.5x.
:So, in the above example, a 255 Pokemon (100%) at full HP (33%) using a Great Ball (1.5x) gives you a 50% chance. If that same Pokemon is Paralyzed then your chances increase to 75%. If it is Paralyzed AND Poisoned then your chances are 100%.
:Also, if it was JUST Asleep (no Poison or Paralysis) then your chances are still 100% ((255 (Catch Rate) * 0.33 (Full HP) = 84.15) (84.15 * 1.5 (Great Ball) = 126.225) (126.225 * 2.5 = 315.5625) That is higher than 255 so you have a 100% chance).

'''5th. Dark Grass:''' Basically this means that if your encounter is in Dark Grass it is harder to catch the Pokemon based on how far through the game you are. In the beginning of the game, it will further decrease the penalty for it's HP by up to half and at the end of the game you will have full chances.
:100% normal chance if you have more than 600 Completed Pokedex Entries (not just seen, but caught). You will have a 90% of your normal chance if you have between 451 and 600 completed Pokedex entries, 80% for 301 to 450 entries, 70% for 151 to 300 entries, 60% for 30 to 151 entries,
:and 50% of your normal chance if you have less than 30 completed Pokedex entries. Meaning, almost the entire game you will sit at 60% in dark grass. This means that if you have a Pokemon with a Catch Rate of 255 at full HP and you tried to catch him with a normal Pokeball then normally you have a 33% chance.
:If it happens in Dark Grass you have a 16.6% chance. If you used an Ultra Ball, normally you would have a 66% chance, in Dark Grass you would have a 33% chance. The math is a little longer to show here but ...
:Here: (250HP x3 = 750 - (250x2) = 250) <- 1st half of the HP formula. now ((250 * .5 (Dark Grass)) = 125), then (125 * 2 (Ultra Ball) = 250) and Finally ((250/(250 * 3)) = 0.333) <- 2nd half of the HP formula.

I know that is sort of long, but I hope that makes more sense.

EDIT: Sorry forgot that whole Capture Power thing. The 6th factor is Capture Power.

How rare is it to get a Critical Capture?

:It says how rare it is.

The example can't be right. It says, that catching Kyurem with catch rate 3 with max HP and Pokéball has a probability of 0.4%, which is right. For a critical capture the value 25.03% is given, which is (0.4%)^(1/4) or the forth-root of the chance, respectively. But why should it be the forth-root instead of third-root? Remember that in Gen V only THREE shake checks are performed. The example would be right for Gen IV, but not for Kyurem. Or is there something I do not understand? - Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 23:37, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

:I have checked the version history now. In fact this example has been done before finding out that since Generation V only three shakes are performed (or one for a critical capture).

:I believe it means the game uses 12 fractional bits. If the program is executed in the order shown, "(3*HP_MAX - 2*HP_Current)*rate*ball/3/HP_MAX*status", the "/3" will round the result then "/HP_Max" will round the result again. If we were only dealing with int data types, each division would round the result to the next lowest integer (1/3 = 0, 13/10 = 1, 9000/4096 = 2). The fractional bits ensure a calculation like 400/3 yields 546133/4096 (133.33325) instead of just 133 - an error of .006% instead .25%.

:::Likely there are only 3 checks for some reason, since it's Generation V, and probably people have simply ripped out code from theame itself. Also, I am sure 3 checks would actually make Pokémon ''easier'' to catch. Checking for eg. a 3/255 four times gives a lower chance than checking for it three times.

== Is the Information for Generation VI Truly Missing? ==

I may be mistaken with regard to most of this, but in my experience, the Generation VI games ''seem'' to use basically the same formula to calculate modified catch rate as Generation V, except for the following differences: there are no longer Pass Powers that increase catch rate, but instead an [[O-Power]] can increase catch rate using different coefficients applied in the same part of the formula; and there is no longer a dark grass factor (maybe a flower factor in X and Y?). I know that Pokémon are able to break out of Poké Balls after two shakes, suggesting that the game performs four shake checks, but is there evidence to suggest that the formula that calculates shake probability is different in Generation VI than it was in Generations III-V?
Now, what I'm trying to figure out by posting this topic is what we suspect works in ways we do not understand in Generation VI. What is there to research, and how would we go about doing this research? I would happily help out with this research in any way I can. [[User:Superbreeder|Super]][[User talk:Superbreeder|breeder]] 23:53, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
:The issue isn't that we suspect it works differently somehow; it's that nobody has analyzed the capture routine in the code for the sixth-generation games, so we can't actually know how it works the way we do for the previous games. It's quite likely that it works exactly as you suggest, with the same method as gen V except with four shake checks, but probabilistic formulas are essentially impossible to figure out reliably by experimentation. That said, it could be useful to gather a lot of data just to see if the probabilities seem to match up with what we'd expect if it's gen V with four shake checks.

::Thank you for your thorough reply, Dragonfree. Your suggestion to test if the probability is what it would be if Generation V performed a fourth shake check is probably the best path we can take, so I might try to do the experimentation on my own as I like to think I have a fair bit of skill when it comes to collecting, managing, and analyzing data. I think I may use a Pokémon which I may find easily and which has a fairly low catch rate to test so that it won't be guaranteed to be caught in a Quick Ball (i.e. I can attract {{p|Skarmory}} by leading with a Pokémon with {{a|Magnet Pull}}, and Skarmory's catch rate is low for a non-legendary Pokémon at 25). Also, I can record the number of shake checks the ball passes in each attempt just in case there was a change to how the games calculate that. I don't know exactly how many data points I'll collect, but probably between 1,000 and 5,000 to reduce error as much as possible. If I get conclusive data, I'll put my findings under this talk page topic. Perhaps there are other users who would like to help test this as well?

== Critical catch shakes in Gen VI ==

[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Catch_rate&diff=2212060&oldid=2209174 Recently] the critical capture section was edited to say that Gen VI has two shake checks on a critical capture. Either someone must have looked at the code/debugged the process, or someone saw two shakes on a critical capture. I doubt it was the former, though (and if it was, the source should be cited). Which leaves the latter...

I can't see how it could be the latter, though. As far as I remember, critical capture in X/Y did one shake. Did ORAS perhaps change this? Can someone with ORAS confidently say how many times the ball shakes on a critical capture? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 16:43, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

:Critical captures in ORAS definitely only do one shake, like in Gen V. However, do note that when normally when a ball shakes once and then breaks, it means the ball failed the ''second'' shake check - the first happens before any shakes. This is unlike Gen V critical captures, where the ball always shakes once and only then does the single shake check. So it is possible that a) the editor is right and the sixth-generation games perform a shake check both before and after the shake on a critical capture (and thus a failed critical capture can either fail ''before'' or ''after'' the shake), or b) the one shake simply confused the editor into thinking two shake checks were involved based on their understanding of what shakes normally mean. Presumably it would be best to ask them. [[User:Dragonfree|Dragonfree]] ([[User talk:Dragonfree|talk]]) 17:36, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
::Since {{u|Pokémon}} visited my talk page to inform me of a comment [[User talk:Dragonfree#Critical Captures|on Dragonfree's talk page]] responding to this issue, I would like to "move" it here so that any of us (or anyone else) can freely respond without having to do so on a single user's talk page.

''Well, my source is my own experience. I saw Pokémon several times breaking out after two shakes though critical capture. The first time I was surprised, because I read on this page before that with one shake the capture would be sure.

''(Furthermore I saw them breaking out within all four different shake steps, so there must be also four all in all.) 
''But what [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] recently has done is muddle. He also changed the probability for the non-critical capture for different generations which should be wrong. Regardless of three or four shakes - the whole probability remains the same. (0.39% in the example)

::First off: I cannot help but doubt what you think you saw. I can only think you are mistaken that it was a critical capture. I would like to hear from someone else that it is possible for two shakes to occur in a critical capture. (Also, can you say whether you saw it in XY or in ORAS?)
::(FWIW: the 0.39% thing has reared its head again on a new comment from Pokémon [[User talk:Tiddlywinks#Critical Captures|on my talk page]]. I will attempt to address it there.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:38, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

The editor - me - has seen both situations while critical capture: breaking after one and after two shakes. It would also make sense, because there are totally four checks again. I saw that in X & Y. But I see, as I have no solid proof... 
So and why should the formula of b in GenV contain 65536 (=2^16) instead of 65535 (=2^16-1) like it always does? 65536 also is inconsistent with the other generations.--- Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 15:56, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
:Alright, if you want to discuss 65536 vs 65535 here... I agree with you. Thank you for pointing out the "other generations" this time. The Gen III-IV formula is the same as the Gen V formula (after some transformation, and ignoring 65536 vs 65535), so I agree that it should probably be 65535.

::No, it's definitely 6553'''6''' in the fifth generation, not 65535.

Please don't make edits based on vague common-sense feelings about what seems right when there are known facts at hand.
::Meanwhile, Pokémon, you do realize critical captures that ''succeed'' only show one shake? Are you suggesting it sometimes shows a whole extra shake only if you fail? That sounds quite unlikely, especially since if they ''did'' want to incorporate two shake checks into critical captures, the logical way to do it would be like with regular shake checks, where one happens before the first shake and the second happens just after it. I'm sorry, but unless you can provide something more solid than anecdotal experience, it's more likely that you just mistook a non-critical capture for a critical, one way or another. I've seen people swear they personally saw completely impossible things on their Pokémon games hundreds of times before, so I'm inclined to take "This happened to me once" stories with a grain of salt - nothing against you personally, but human perception and memory can be pretty flawed.

:::::The calculator uses the level to calculate the Pokémon's actual HP, mostly significant if you select the "Exactly 1 HP" option - it makes a bit of a difference whether the Pokémon has one out of 20 HP or one out of 200 HP.

::::::From the level alone you can't know the max HP, thats no precision. And percent is percent, neither it is needed to know the exactly HP nor the level.

:::::::It's not the level alone - we also know the species, and thus its base HP, and wild Pokémon's EVs are always zero. The only remaining variable needed to determine the max HP is the IV, and the calculator calculates the result for each of the 32 possible IVs. By default the calculator then averages the results, since each IV is generally equally likely, but if you check the "Show detailed report?" box, you'll see the exact results for each HP IV.
:::::::Percent is percent, yes, but 1 out of 20 HP is 5%, while 1 out of 200 HP is 0.5%. Like I said, it's only actually significant at exactly 1 HP. Usually you don't actually know the Pokémon's exact current HP, so there's an unavoidable margin of error there either way, but by calculating the actual max HP we can get guaranteed exact results at full and 1 HP (this is why I have a special "exactly 1 HP" option, separate from "1%"). And while the results at full HP will be pretty much identical no matter what the actual max HP is, there are rounding errors that this allows for taking into account accurately, which I like to do because as I said, I like precision.
:::::::Please consider that maybe I know what I'm talking about. I've spent a ''lot'' of time on these pages and calculators; I assure you I didn't just throw the level in there for no reason. [[User:Dragonfree|Dragonfree]] ([[User talk:Dragonfree|talk]]) 00:18, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

::::::::But I wonder why the result is also influenced, when I set neither 100% nor 1 HP but e.g. 40%? A percentage is already most precise and independent from the level! I have seen there differences of over three percent between level 1 and 100 which is a large amount and no rounding errors. Just want to understand that phenomenon and why I can't calculate these results with the formulas on Bulbapedia... --- Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 11:29, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
:::::::::Ah, that's just because when you set a percentage, the calculator uses it to come up with an actual integer current HP value to use in the calculation, and at very low max HPs that can introduce a slightly significant error. So, rounding errors, but not in the formula per se. (Actually, it was a bigger rounding error than it needed to be; I just made a small change that reduces it.) In general it's always going to be a bit fuzzy when you're not at 100% or exactly one HP, because both the HP bar itself and the player's approximation of how much of it is filled inevitably introduce a degree of error. I'd rather have it show the actual results for a reasonable guess at the exact HP than make up a general fuzzy result for that percentage of HP, though. The calculators simulate the calculations the game performs very exactly; having the HP part just rely on it being roughly such-and-such kind of defeats the point. (Besides, of course, that this way the result is exact at 100% or exactly 1 HP without having to special-case it.)

would a=2.5, or be rounded down to 2, or up to 3 before put into the equation for b. [[User:Zombiedude347|Zombiedude347]] ([[User talk:Zombiedude347|talk]]) 22:12, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

== Are we sure the shake probabilities for Gen III-VI are correct? ==

And I don't mean just numerically correct--I ask because, the formula written down for Gen III-IV is:
'''''b'' = 1048560 / sqrt(sqrt(16711680/''a''))''';
which is weird, since it uses numbers that require 3-bytes to represent. It is made even weirder when you consider that the formula there is ''exactly'' equivalent to:
'''''b'' = 65535 / sqrt(sqrt(255/''a''))''';
which takes numbers of no more than 2-bytes, which makes a lot more sense, and unless the former was ripped straight from the code, seems closer to what the function actually would be (since it takes up less memory and uses numbers on a similar scale found elsewhere in the mechanics).

This also makes me want to ask if the shake probabilities on Gen V and Gen VI don't have a small typo, since both have similar formulas to the above (though Gen VI has a denominator of (255/''a'')^0.1875), but instead of 65535, they have 65536, which is 1 off, but is 17-bit to 65535's 16-bits and that would be...inelegant. It would break the symmetry, since if it's 65535, then Gen III-V would all have the same shake probability function, and it seems a little silly to tweak it by 1 in a way that would require an extra byte of memory for the input, and right before a more substantial tweak in the very next gen.
But I don't know--for all I know, that could be faithfully ripped straight from the source code.

[[User:Xovvo|Xovvo]] ([[User talk:Xovvo|talk]]) 20:46, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
:Yes, they are correct, and all of these numbers are indeed taken straight from the actual code.

:Your Gen III/IV alternative formula is actually ''not'' exactly equivalent, because the square roots and divisions prior to Gen V are integer operations, i.e. they always round down: if they used the shorter version, then any ''a'' of 16 or above would actually give the same ''b'', which would be completely absurd. (255/16 gets rounded down to 15, the square root of which is rounded down to 3, the square root of which is rounded down to 1, and we end up with a ''b'' of 65535, exactly like if ''a'' were 255.) Effectively, Game Freak took the formula they wanted and multiplied by 16 both above and below the line, in order to have bigger numbers to work with in the calculation that would result in less drastic rounding errors. (There are still fairly major rounding errors, mind you; any ''a'' of 200 or above still results in a ''b'' of 65535.)

:The reason Gen V-VI use 65536 and not 65535 is that there is a tiny chance for the Pokémon not to be caught if ''b'' is 65535; presumably they ''wanted'' ''b'' to be able to be 65536 all along but originally used 65535 exactly because 65536 can't be stored in a two-byte register. In Gen V onwards they're using bigger fixed-precision numbers where they can fit 65536 in just fine anyway.

:* Throwing a Poke Ball on turn 1 until caught (or unless lead Pokemon faints)

And my data as follows (using 100 standard Poke Balls)
: Normal throws (catch/miss ratio) = 42:44 (49%)
: Critical throws = 12:2 (85%)

Which is close to the expected catch rate. Also note a much lower incidence of critical throws this time (1:7 versus 2:5). Hmmm...

(This also gives me a huge supply of Lv.60 Zigzagoons for performing a level-matched experiment later)

So if I'm understanding this correctly, the level is affecting the catch rate? Doesn't crit rate increase the more the Pokedex is filled? Would the results skew to more misses if you have a very incomplete Pokedex, or does it just affect the chance of a crit happening?

== Dive Ball doesn't actually work while Surfing or Fishing in FRLG ==

Looking at the pokefirered decompilation, the check is the same as in RSE: [[https://github.com/pret/pokefirered/blob/master/src/battle_script_commands.c#L9032 Source]] {{unsigned|AsparagusEduardo}}

== Generation I "Great ball better than Ultra" ==

Upon reading the Gen I article i got very confused by this:

"Due to the nature of the algorithm, Ultra Balls will only perform better than Great Balls on Pokémon whose capture rates are above 55 and below 200 in Generation I. Ultra Balls increase the overall chance of capture by as much as 20% in comparison to Great Balls for Pokémon near the center of that range."

This is not at all what the full algorithm description says, neither what the formula says. The only benefit of great ball is on step 6 when the pokémon has more than 1/3 hp. I would guess that the contributor forgot to say that his statement is only valid against 100% hp pokémons? Which is not a very useful info anyway.

== Failed to parse ==

Is it just something on my end or is this article littered with "failed to parse" error messages for displaying math? [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 02:34, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

:I mean I don't see that. I'd say try again today, I know Bulbagarden overall was having website issues of some sort yesterday. [[User:Karasuhebi|Karasuhebi]] ([[User talk:Karasuhebi|talk]]) 18:37, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

== Gen 8 level modifier ==

Gen 8 added a L modifier based on the level. The section should explain what it means, in addition to the formula. Does it mean that higher levels are harder to capture? Up to what level? By what rate? What's that 70 doin in the formula? [[User:Mateussf|Mateussf]] ([[User talk:Mateussf|talk]]) 14:56, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

'''Silvally''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シルヴァディ''' ''Silvady'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Type: Null}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]].

Silvally will {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Silvally|change type}} when it is holding any type of [[memory]].

==Biology==
[[File:Gladion Silvally RKS System.png|thumb|left|250px|A [[Fighting Memory]] being installed into the disk drive in Silvally's head in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Silvally is a quadrupedal, chimeric {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with traits from a variety of creatures. It has a mammalian head with mechanical parts. Covering most of its head and neck is a thick, silver mane that extends down over its chest. Its blunt snout is metallic on the bridge of its nose and upper jaw. Silvally has a triangular black nose framed by three red lines, pointed ears with bright pink and black insides, one visible fang on each side of its lower jaw, and a slight overbite. Its eyes are bright silver, have no visible pupils, and appear to be surrounded by an empty, black space. On each side of its head is a circular, metallic {{wp|Optical disc drive|drive}}, with a white circle crossed by a metal line. On top of its head is a large, axe-like fur or feather crest. The tip of the crest as a hooked, metallic piece, while the back has three white feathers.

Silvally's lower body is mostly covered in short, black fur. The lower half of each front leg is insectoid and green with spikes along the back, while the rear legs have thick purple scales on the flanks, shins, and on the top of the foot. All four of its feet have three toes, but in the front two toes face forward and one backward. Additionally, the hind paws have a short, gray claw on the back of the ankle. Its fishlike tail consists of two dark blue spines with a white fin stretched between them. The top spine has a line of short, gray spikes.

Once it finds a partner it trusts, Type: Null destroys its own control mask to become Silvally. It reverts to its natural, wild temperament, but it is nonetheless loyal to its Trainer, and will even risk its own life in its partner's defense. The destruction of its mask re-activates its {{a|RKS System}}, allowing it to change its [[type]] according to the [[memory]] attached to it; its eyes, spikes, drives, and fin membrane all change color to match its current type.

Silvally is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Multi-Attack}}.

==Trivia==

* In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], Silvally has a base [[experience]] yield of 114.
* Silvally's stat distribution is identical to its pre-evolution, with the exception of its [[Stat#Speed|Speed stat]] rising to match its other stats.
** The change in its Speed stat to 95 from 59 is a reversal of the digits.
* In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], Silvally is programmed to be able to be taught all three {{DL|Move variation|Pledge moves}} ({{m|Grass Pledge}}, {{m|Fire Pledge}}, and {{m|Water Pledge}}). However, due to a coding error, the [[Move Tutor]] will only offer to teach it Grass Pledge, making the latter two unable to be learned legitimately. This glitch continues to exist in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}.

===Origin===
Silvally, like its pre-evolved form, seems to be based on a {{wp|chimera}}. Parts of it also resemble a {{wp|griffin}}. Silvally's concept also bears resemblance to {{p|Arceus}}, which can also change type and appearance based on item held. Like its pre-evolution, it also appears to be based on {{wp|Frankenstein's monster}} due to the bolt-like objects on its face and it being created from cells of different Pokémon types.

====Name origin====

Silvally may be a combination of ''silver'' and ''ally''. In-universe, it was named by Gladion.

Silvady may be a combination of ''silver'' and ''buddy''.

Devolution

[[File:Slowbro losing Shellder.png|thumb|200px|Slowbro losing Shellder]]
'''Devolution''' (Japanese: '''退化''' ''degeneration'') is the process of an [[Evolution|evolved]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} reverting to its previous form. This is not nearly as well-known among the fandom as evolution is, due to devolution being impossible within the {{pkmn|games}} and {{pkmn|anime}}. In most media in which it exists, devolution is not nearly as commonplace as evolution, and is generally brought about mainly through artificial means, such as sprays or genetic engineering.

This should not be confused with a [[Mega Evolution]] being reverted, or with Pokémon changing [[forms]].

==In the games==
[[File:Slowking losing Shellder.png|left|thumb|250px|Slowking losing Shellder]]
While devolution is not possible within the [[core series]] games, the notion is referred to by {{p|Slowbro}}'s numerous [[Pokédex]] entries. Said entries claim that if the {{p|Shellder}} falls off, the Slowbro turns back into a Slowpoke. It is said that if {{p|Slowking}} loses its Shellder, it forgets everything it has learned.<ref>[http://www.pokemon.jp/special/yadon_paradise/illustrated/ 絵で見るヤドンずかん｜ヤドンパラダイス｜ポケモンだいすきクラブ]</ref>

A similar situation applies to {{p|Exeggutor}}, as it is stated in its Pokédex entries that if one of its heads were to fall off, it would become an {{p|Exeggcute}}.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===

The only Pokémon games in which devolution is possible are games from the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] games of the [[Nintendo 3DS]].

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], the Devolve Orb is a [[Wonder Orb]] that devolves all enemies in the room.
{{spoilers}}
In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], the player and their partner evolve and later devolve three times during the game's main story, thanks to the [[Harmony Scarf|Harmony Scarves]] they wear.
{{endspoilers}}

===Pokémon Trading Card Game===
Pokémon cards can devolve in {{cat|Pokémon Trading Card Game video games}}, which contain cards that can cause devolution.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
In the [[Pokémon anime]], the subject of devolution has rarely been brought up. {{an|Misty}} explicitly states in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'' that evolution cannot be reversed, effectively confirming the nonexistence of devolution within the anime. This was reconfirmed in ''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]'', where {{an|Bonnie}} asked {{AP|Frogadier}} to devolve into {{p|Froakie}} so she could see it evolve again, but {{an|Clemont}} explained that it doesn't work that way.

The only known instance of devolution in the anime occurred when {{an|Faba}} fitted {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}} with a restraining mask, thereby turning it into a {{p|Type: Null}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Devolution Adventures.png|thumb|220px|Eevee devolving from {{p|Jolteon}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Before [[Vee]], {{adv|Red}}'s {{p|Eevee}}, evolved into {{p|Espeon}}, he had been the subject of an experiment by [[Team Rocket]], which allowed him to evolve into any of his three [[Eeveelution|evolutions]] that were known at the time. He was also able to devolve back into an Eevee and evolve into a different Eeveelution. Although this does mean that devolution is possible in [[Pokémon Adventures]], the artificial means through which this was achieved and the lack of any other instances of devolution suggest that it may not be possible through natural means.

===In the Pokémon Horizon manga===
{{OBP|Akira|Horizon}}'s {{p|Rockruff}} has the unique ability to evolve into {{p|Lycanroc}} and then devolve into Rockruff again, thanks to the strange red stone on its neck. It also has the ability to change in between its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Lycanroc|Midday and Midnight Forms}} while being evolved.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
Unlike any other media, Pokémon are capable of devolving just as easily as they evolve in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]. This became especially evident when [[Red's Clefairy]] and {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}} evolve into {{p|Clefable}} and {{p|Raichu}} respectively, then revert to their original forms, as well as when {{PPM|Green}}'s {{p|Charmander}} evolved into {{TP|Green|Charizard}} and then turned back into Charmander.

==In the TCG==
[[File:DevolutionSprayDragonsExalted113.jpg|thumb|200px|{{TCG ID|Base Set|Devolution Spray|72}}, one of the few methods of inducing devolution in the TCG]]
In the TCG, devolution is perfectly possible, albeit not at a player's whim. Devolution must be induced by the effects of an attack, a {{TCG|Pokémon Power|Poké-Power}}, or a {{TCG|Trainer card}}. Examples include {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Mew|8}}'s Devolution Beam attack, {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Flareon|19}}'s Undevelop Poké-Power, and the {{TCG ID|Base Set|Devolution Spray|72}} Item. The following is a list of cards that can achieve devolution.

'''Type: Null''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タイプ：ヌル''' ''Type: Null'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Silvally}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]].

==Biology==
Type: Null is a quadrupedal, chimeric {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with traits from a variety of creatures. Its head is enclosed in a brown helmet with green markings, designed to suppress its power to stable levels. The helmet has a large jaw piece that wraps around the front with large, round hinges on the side. Each hinge is covered by a green X-shaped marking. Small gray eyes can be seen from within rectangular black holes on the front, and there are two pointed ears on the top. Around the base is a collar with four protruding vanes that are tipped with a three-way spike. This collar has a thin green line between the vanes, and each vane has a green hexagon near the end. An axe-like blade with a band around the middle extends backward from the top of the helmet. The front tip of the blade has a small, silver spike that hooks downward.

A mane of gray fur hangs from below Type: Null's helmet and covers its shoulders and chest. Most of its torso and legs is covered in short black fur. The lower half of each front leg is insectoid and green with spikes along the back, while the rear legs have thick purple scales on the flanks, shins, and on the top of the foot. All four of its feet have three toes, but in the front two toes face forward and one backward. Additionally, the hind paws have a short, gray claw on the back of the ankle. Its fishlike tail consists of two dark blue spines with a light blue fin stretched between them. The top spine has a line of short, gray spikes.
{{Spoilers}}
Type: Null was created by [[Faba]] of the [[Aether Foundation]] to be an "Anti-[[Ultra Beast|UB]] Fighting life-form". Codenamed "Beast Killer", Type: Null was developed with cells taken from all known Pokémon [[type]]s. This was done with the intention of giving it the ability to {{a|RKS System|shift between types}} by holding a corresponding [[memory]], an ability originally inspired by the myths researched at [[Canalave Library]]. This ability led the Aether Foundation to give it the name '''Type: Full''' (Japanese: '''タイプ：フル''' ''Type: Full''). Three known models of Type: Full were created, but all three rejected the RKS System and went berserk. After being subdued, the three Type: Full were given limiter helmets to lessen the effects of the RKS System's rejection and were put into permanent cryogenic stasis. Thus, the Beast Killer Project was deemed a failure, and the creature's name changed to Type: Null. At some point before the events of Generation VII, [[Gladion]] was able to free one of the Type: Null, which he adopted as his own in the hopes of finding a way to undo the effects of the limiter helmet and allow it to use the RKS System.

In [[Generation VIII]], a new Type: Null surfaces in the [[Galar]] region, apparently created by [[Macro Cosmos]] by utilizing research notes stolen from [[Alola]].

==Trivia==
* Type: Null is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}, {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}}, and {{pmin|the Netherlands|Dutch}} names all differ from its English name.
* Type: Null has the highest [[List of Pokémon by base stats (Generation VIII-present)|base stat total]] of all Pokémon that are able to [[Evolution|evolve]].
* Type: Null's [[Stat#Speed|Speed stat]] is the only one of its stats to not be 95. Instead, it is the reverse, at 59.
** Upon evolving, its Speed is reversed to match the other stats - this is the only change in its stat distribution.
* Type: Null shares several similarities with {{p|Mewtwo}}. Both were created by humans using science, were intended to be stronger than other Pokémon, and went berserk, causing a large amount of damage.
* Type: Null is the first [[Legendary Pokémon]] to be given as a gift by an NPC.
* Despite what its name may imply, Type: Null does have a type, being a Normal-type Pokémon.

===Origin===
Type: Null appears to be based on a {{wp|Chimera (mythology)|chimera}}. Its history and patchwork design may also be a reference to {{wp|Frankenstein's monster}}, and its collar may reference the ring encircling {{p|Arceus}}.

====Name origin====
Type: Null is literally ''[[type]]'' and ''null'' (nothing).

Type: Full is literally ''type'' and ''full'' (everything).

== A laptop is not a mecha ==

In fact, a majority of these aren't mechas at all. Particularly the BW section; they are more like devices and/or weaponry. A mecha should be limited to mechanical robots, not a smartphone. Though when you get down to it, the BW section is probably the only section with questionable "Mecha" as everything before and after fit the "Mecha criteria".--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:30, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

==EP215==
In the [[EP215]] "Octillery The Outcast" , Team Rocket have an aquarium truck where they aspire some Remoraid, I think it should be added what you think ? {{unsigned|LeoKetchumB}}

== Vehicles, weaponry, and balloon attachments ==

Either a second section should be added and linked to this page or the title of the page should be changed to include all of Team Rocket's devices. Technically if the article were to only be limited to mechas, having been defined as a walking or moving object with arms or legs which resembles an animal or Pokémon, then many of these contraptions shouldn't be on here at all. Ones that should be removed include: Flying Stadium, Team Rocket Automated Pep Squad, The Pitching Machine, The Snowball Launcher, and The Gust Attack Blowing Vac, just to name a few.

I propose that the page be divided into 6 sections:
*Machines resembling Pokémon
*Drills
*Machines with arms and/or legs
*Vehicles (such as getaway cars and trucks)
*Devices and weaponry
*Balloon attachments and add-ons

Right now the page is missing over 40 different devices if not way more. Removing so many of Team Rocket's devices from this page, or including some while excluding others seems beyond counterproductive. [[User:TomAto|TomAto]] ([[User talk:TomAto|talk]]) 16:21, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
:[[User:Force Fire/Team Rocket's arsenal|I've created a sub page]] for the "mechas" that I've removed. For me, a Mecha is simply just a humanoid robot or a robotic version of a Pokemon.

:: This is agreeable, especially with how Best Wishes and XY have generally changed the tone of Team Rocket's technology away from classic mechas and more toward conventional weaponry in many circumstances.

==Blurb==

While our heroes are stopped at a Pokémon Center, Squirtle runs off—never a good idea when Team Rocket is lurking nearby! May finds Squirtle at an empty train station with an old lady, Edna. Edna's granddaughter Katrina tells May (and an eavesdropping Meowth) the story: Grandpa Jonathan left to become a Pokémon doctor, but Grandma Edna didn't want to leave town. She changed her mind when she realized they were going to have a baby, but she missed his train and he passed away in an accident before she could see him again.

After May returns to the Pokémon Center, Squirtle disappears again. She goes to the train station and finds Meowth pondering Edna's story. Then she sees Squirtle, who's found Edna's old locket. A bright light envelops all three and they're transported back in time! May spots Jonathan and realizes this is the day he leaves for the city, but she can't enter the train station without a ticket.

Thinking fast, May and Meowth use a hot air balloon and Squirtle's Ice Beam to turn rain clouds into snow. Jonathan's train is delayed and Edna catches up in time to tell him about the baby. Then our trio returns to the present day just in time to see May's Pokémon Egg hatch into an Eevee, watched over by Jonathan and Edna. Not only have their lives been changed, but the entire town is better than ever! May and Meowth look on, happy to have done a good deed.

==Plot==
[[Nurse Joy]] greets {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} at the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Fuchsia City]], immediately noticing {{an|May}}’s {{pkmn|Egg}}. {{an|Brock}} stops feeding his newly obtained {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}} to try and woo Joy over. However, Bonsly attacks Brock knocking him to the ground. Bonsly cries as {{TP|May|Munchlax}} slurps down its bottled formula for itself. Brock picks Bonsly up to comfort it and lessens its pain. Nurse Joy advises Brock that there is plenty of food in the cafeteria, so Brock carries Bonsly over to feed and Max escorts Munchlax as well. {{Ash}} decides to continue training for his [[Battle Pike]] match, and {{TP|May|Squirtle}} also follows him outside. {{an|May}} is alarmed and heads after Squirtle.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} spies on the [[twerps]] from their treetop location, plotting to capture {{AP|Pikachu}}. [[James]] spots the stray Squirtle running off into the distance as May trails behind. At [[Jessie]]’s suggestion, the trio splits up to better their chances of stealing a Pokémon. Squirtle finally stops running as it comes upon an abandoned train station, and May follows it inside. May steps out on to the platform where she finds Squirtle in the arms of an elderly woman, [[Edna]].

A soft rain begins to fall as Edna explains that she is waiting for someone to arrive on the next steam train service. May is perplexed as the station is clearly abandoned, though Edna is determined to wait. Edna’s explanation is cut short as her granddaughter {{OBP|Katrina|AG157}} rushes in, frantically looking for her. Edna becomes sombre as Katrina tells her it is time to go. Edna grabs her umbrella and proceeds to leave the platform, disappointed that she once again missed the train service. The rain reminds her of the day that he went missing, and she wishes it had snowed that day. May notices a picture lying on the bench where Edna is sitting, which resembles Edna in her younger days. Seeing the photograph, Katrina details Edna’s tragic past to May while {{MTR}} spies on them. Edna used to own and operate a [[Pokémon breeding]] Center where she cared for and nurtured [[Pokémon Egg]]s alongside her husband {{OBP|Jonathan|AG157}}. Jonathan left the Fuchsia for the city to study medicine, though Edna refused to leave her hometown. Having read Jonathan’s goodbye letter, Edna ran to the station to stop her husband leaving and inform him that she was having their baby. Though she narrowly missed the train service that day and lost her locket after bumping into a stranger on the platform. A year later, Edna received news that Jonathan had passed away in an accident, leaving her heartbroken. Katrina explains that her grandmother refused to believe the letter and has attended the train station everyday awaiting Jonathan's return.

In another location, Ash begins his training as the ever devious [[Jessie]] is just feet away spying on his actions. Ash continues his {{m|Volt Tackle}} training with Pikachu as an electrical force begins to rotate around Pikachu's body as it blasts through a boulder. The rubble hurls towards Jessie's location and collides into her. Pikachu lands as the force dissipates and Ash commends Pikachu for his agile movements. Meanwhile, James spies on Brock and [[Max]] inside the Pokémon Center as they devour the food inside.

Nighttime falls and May's {{pkmn|Egg}} begins to glow a faint white. Nurse Joy kindly offers to take Egg from her and explains that it is about to hatch soon. Max notices that Squirtle has disappeared again, so May immediately rushes to the abandoned train station to find it. Instead she finds Meowth sitting on a platform bench. Meowth explains that he is taking some time to think about Edna’s tragic story. May is unimpressed to learn that Meowth was eavesdropping, but he tells her to get off his back. Suddenly a familiar sound alerts May to Squirtle as it stands on the tracks pointing to something - Edna's lost locket. As May opens the locket she notices a picture of Edna's husband. A mysterious light begins to emit from the trinket as it then envelops the May, Squirtle and Meowth, transporting them back in time to when Edna's husband is about to make his departure.

A train roars down the track, forcing the trio to dash for the train platform. A station attendant scolds them for playing on the tracks, so the trio flee from the station to avoid further trouble. With the now bustling town in front of them, they quickly come to realize that they've been transported back in time to the exact moment when Edna's husband begins his departure. As they begin to try to explain the situation to each other, Edna's husband walks passed and enters the station. May sprints into action, hoping to change Edna’s future for the better. However, the same attendant from before stops them walking onto the platform and removes them for the station. As Edna reads the letter left by her husband and heads for the station, May and Meowth hop inside a hot air balloon and ascend into the air. The last calls for the train are heard as Squirtle begins to aims its {{m|Ice Beam}} at the sky. As hoped, a faint snow begins to fall, causing the train to delay its departure. Edna successfully reaches the station and this time manages to find Jonathan to inform him that she is pregnant. Edna and her husband walk outside to notice the solitary fir tree covered in snow and glistening with color, created by {{p|Volbeat}} and {{p|Illumise}} in a courtship dance. The town has dubbed this phenomenon as the "Lights of Joy".

The mysterious light emits from the amulet once more as May and Meowth are then returned to their own time. The trio are again forced to flee the tracks to safety as a train approaches. As they walk outside, Fuchsia City is now flourishing with citizens as Ash, Max, and Brock rush over to her location and alert her that her Egg is about to hatch. They rush to the Pokémon Center where they are greeted by Pokémon pediatricians Edna and her husband Jonathan, who are helping the Egg hatch. May is startled by the array of changes resulting from her trip to the past, as neither Edna, now with her locket around her neck, or Katrina recognize her. As the Egg grows ever so brightly, the light begins to dissipate to reveal an {{TP|May|Eevee}}. Jonathan remarks that Eevee is healthy before handing it to May. Outside the Center, Jessie and James confront Meowth as they prepare to capture Pikachu. Meowth, having traveled back in time to rewrite Edna's tragic past and watched Eevee hatch, declares that he has no interest at the moment and promptly walks off. His teammates are left baffled. As night befalls, the fir tree glistens with the "Lights of Joy". With her newly forged friendship between Eevee and herself, and seeing Edna happy with Jonathan, May looks forward to the adventures and battles that await her.

{{samename|the general concept|Time travel}}
[[File:E Reader Time Travel.png|thumb|Time Travel]]
'''Time Travel''' (Japanese: '''ちいさなときわたり''' ''The Little Time Traveler'') is the name of a Pokémon-based [[e-Reader]] application from the {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos}}. It is a short cartoon featuring {{p|Celebi}}. Only one card is required for the Time Travel application: {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Celebi|50}}.

The application is a [https://youtu.be/xuAP6ksKBTo?t=1315 short cartoon] with two variations, both with different endings. Celebi happens upon a tree with three berries growing upon it. It happily eats the berries, but seems to still be hungry. It then uses time travel to go back/forwards in time, to when the tree has more berries falling off and ready to eat. From here there are two different endings;

'''Ending 1:''' Celebi expresses happiness and proceeds to eat the tree's new berries, and the animation ends.

'''Ending 2:''' Celebi goes to start eating the berries, but is disturbed by the tree rustling. After flying about for a couple seconds investigating, a {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Pichu}} pop out of the tree's leaves, startling Celebi and making it fall to the ground. The Electric Pokémon laugh, and the animation ends.

The '''Pokémon metagame''' has a wide range of '''fanmade terminology''' for various aspects of the games. These are colloquial terms originating from unofficial sources, and are not found within the games themselves. However, some terms originally coined by the fandom have been used officially, such as [[Eeveelution]] and {{Shiny}}; these terms are not listed here.

==Pokémon terms==
===Early-route Pokémon===
A Pokémon found in the first few routes of the game. These can be divided into ones that are based on mammals that are either {{t|Normal}} or {{t|Dark}} types ({{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Poochyena}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Bidoof}}, {{p|Patrat}}, {{p|Lillipup}}, {{p|Purrloin}}, {{p|Bunnelby}} and {{p|Yungoos}}), birds that are {{t|Flying}} ({{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Spearow}}, {{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Taillow}}, {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Pidove}}, {{p|Fletchling}} and {{p|Pikipek}}) and {{t|Bug}}s ({{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, {{p|Kricketot}}, {{p|Sewaddle}}, {{p|Venipede}}, {{p|Scatterbug}}, {{p|Grubbin}}, and {{p|Cutiefly}}).

===Electric rodents===
{{redirect|Pikachu clone|the Pikachu that is a clone|Pikachutwo}}
A group of {{type|Electric}} Pokémon based on {{wp|rodent}}s, consisting of {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}}{{tt|*|sometimes omitted}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Emolga}}, {{p|Dedenne}}, and {{p|Togedemaru}}. All of its members are in either the {{egg|Fairy}} or {{egg|Field}} [[Egg Group]]. With the exception of Pichu, all of them (and only them) can learn {{m|Nuzzle}} starting in [[Generation VI]]. This group is also referred to as the '''Pikachu family''', '''Pikachu clones''' or '''Pikaclones'''. They all have {{stat|speed}} as their highest stat, with the exception of Togedemaru, for which it is the second highest.

{{p|Marill}} and its evolutionary relatives are sometimes erroneously placed in this group, despite not being Electric types and having {{stat|HP}} as their highest stats.

===Elemental monkeys===
{{main|Elemental monkeys}}
{{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, {{p|Panpour}}, {{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Simisear}}, and {{p|Simipour}}.

===Eon duo===
{{main|Eon duo}}
{{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}. Often referred to collectively as '''Lati@s'''.

==Game terms==

====Living Pokédex====

Having a Pokémon of every species (available in that game) in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] at the same time.

Specifically, it has gained no [[experience]], [[level]]s, {{EV}}s, or [[Ribbon]]s, had none of its [[move]]s changed or reordered, and has not [[Evolution|evolved]], gained [[Pokérus]], or had its pre-existing Pokérus become inactive. Commonly used to refer to [[event Pokémon]] and in-game [[gift Pokémon]].

===Gameplay terms===
====Cheating====
{{main|Cheating}}
The use of any device unauthorized by [[Nintendo]] or [[Game Freak]] to modify a Pokémon game. Being found to have cheated in any way, or having a Pokémon that was obtained by cheating on another game will result in immediate disqualification from any official tournament, and disqualification from all future official tournaments.

====EV training====
Intentionally battling Pokémon for the {{EV}}s they give out in order to ensure EVs are distributed in a specific way or capped.

====Gear Station or Centrico Plaza trick====
Securing the D-pad or analog stick in one direction so that the player continuously walks around the circular {{DL|Battle Subway|Gear Station}} or {{DL|Lumiose City|Prism Tower|Centrico Plaza}}, resulting in an effortless refilling of [[Hidden Grotto]]es, increase in [[friendship]], hatching of {{pkmn|Egg}}s, and accumulation of [[Poké Mile]]s.

====Grinding====
{{pkmn|training|Training}} a Pokémon to a certain [[level]] through repetitive battling.

====HM slave====
{{main|HM slave}}
A Pokémon kept in the party primarily for its ability to use one or more [[HM]] moves outside of battle.

[[File:HSOWA HGSS.png|thumb|220px|right|A Skitty and a Wailord at the Day Care]]
The fan term '''HSOWA''' is an initialism that stands for '''Hot Skitty On Wailord Action'''. It is derived from the fact that {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Wailord}} can {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} in the {{pkmn|games}} despite the massive size difference. It has reached cult status on some message boards. The term originates from GameFAQs.

====IV breeding====
Intentionally [[breeding]] Pokémon to have a specific {{IV}} or set of IVs.

====Masuda method====
{{main|Masuda method}}
The game mechanic that increases the likelihood of [[Shiny Pokémon]] to hatch from {{pkmn|Egg}}s if the parents are from differing real-world geographical locations. Named after [[Junichi Masuda]], who first documented this mechanic in his blog.

====Nuzlocke Challenge====
{{main|Nuzlocke Challenge}}
A special challenge playthrough of a Pokémon game in which the player must follow a set of self-enforced rules to make the game more difficult. Most notably, the player can only catch the first Pokémon they encounter on each route, and must release any Pokémon that faints. Named after the [http://nuzlocke.com/ comic series] of the same name that first proposed the type of playthrough.

====Repel trick====
{{main|Appendix:Repel trick}}
Using [[Repel]]s and a lead Pokémon of a specific level to restrict [[wild Pokémon]] encounters to a specific Pokémon or group of Pokémon due to the maximum level at which wild Pokémon can appear.

====Spinner trick====
Securing the D-pad or analogue stick in a single direction so that the player continuously walks into a [[spin tile]], resulting in an effortless increase in [[friendship]] and hatching of {{pkmn|Egg}}s. Often called the "Fuego trick" in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} due to [[Fuego Ironworks]] being the optimal location for doing so.

===Metagame terms===
{{main|Appendix:Metagame terminology}}

===Technical terms===
====EVs====
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values, often shortened to EVs, are capped permanent stat bonuses gained by defeating Pokémon, using items such as [[vitamin]]s or [[wing]]s, or using services such as those in [[Join Avenue]]. They ensure trained Pokémon are stronger than newly caught Pokémon.

====IVs====
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values, often shortened to IVs, are fixed values that can be inherited from the Pokémon's parents. They ensure Pokémon are genetically different.

====RNG====
{{main|Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon}}
Refers to the Random Number Generator, or rather the practice of manipulating it through the use of fan-made software, in order to obtain [[Shiny Pokémon]] or Pokémon with specific {{IV}}s—both endeavors which would otherwise leave a lot up to chance.

[[File:GoogleMapsPokemonChallenge.jpg|thumbnail|Banner of Google Maps: Pokémon Challenge]]
The '''Google Maps: Pokémon Challenge''' was a special event launched by {{wp|Google}} during [[April Fools' Day 2014]]. During the event, users of the Google Maps mobile application were given the ability to catch Pokémon scattered around the actual maps. Google's Pokédex consists of 151 Pokémon from the first six generations, including all [[starter Pokémon]], [[Eevee]] and all 8 [[Eeveelutions]], all seven final form [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]s, all [[Electric rodent]]s, as well as {{p|Mew}}, who appears and roams after the user catches the other 150 Pokémon.

==Overview==
[[File:Professor Pegman.png|thumbnail|Professor Pegman]]
The event launched as part of Google's {{wp|List of Google easter eggs|April Fools' tradition}} for 2014. Announced in Google Asia Pacific's blog, it made use of social media like Twitter, Google+ and Facebook for promotion and communication with players. Google Maps' mascot Pegman took the attire of [[Professor Oak]] during the event. Initially planned to last until April 3, its popularity extended it for five days, giving players who had previously caught at least 5 Pokémon the opportunity to complete their Pokédex. Those who managed to catch all 151 Pokémon during the challenge received a congratulatory letter along with "Pokémon Master" business cards from Google on June 2014.

==Lab locations==
When users start out, they will appear at a Pokémon Lab chosen for them. They can return to their home lab when they wish.

{{bulbanews|game}}
{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon GO''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|Pokémon GO|ポケモン　ゴー}}}}''') is a multiplayer, location-based, {{wp|augmented reality}} Pokémon game for {{wp|iOS}} and {{wp|Android (operating system)|Android}}. The game results from a collaboration between [[The Pokémon Company]], [[Nintendo]], and [[Niantic]], Inc., and is {{wp|Freemium|free to download}} with in-app purchases. It was released in the Americas, Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Oceania, and most of Europe on a staggered schedule starting on July 6, 2016, and is scheduled to be released in Russia soon.

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

The game is compatible with the [[Pokémon GO Plus]], a {{wp|Bluetooth}} device that allows players to enjoy elements of the game without looking at their phone. Compatibility with the {{wp|Apple Watch}} is also forthcoming.

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

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

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

Search far and wide for Pokémon and items

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

Catching, hatching, evolving, and more

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

Take on Gym battles and defend your Gym

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Players can customize their appearance, such as clothing and accessories, which can be shown to other players. [[Pokémon Trainer]]s collect XP from performing various actions, such as catching Pokémon, which allows them to increase their Trainer [[level]]. Leveling up rewards the player with items, and some levels unlock features of the game. Wild Pokémon encountered by Trainers at higher levels are more likely to have higher CP. The maximum number of times an individual Pokémon can be [[Power Up|Powered Up]] increases with the Trainer's level.

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

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

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

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

{{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and {{p|Tauros}} appear to be region-exclusive, currently only being found in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America, respectively.

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

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

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

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

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

Pokémon Appraisal, added in version 0.35.0 (labelled version 1.5.0 on the iOS App Store), has the chosen Team's leader detail a Pokémon's stats much like a [[stats judge]] in the core series. They describe how good the Pokémon would be in a battle, which of its three stats is its highest, and how good its stats are overall. They will also note if the Pokémon's height or weight is particularly far from the average listed in the Pokédex.

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

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

===Experience===
{{main|Experience#Pokémon GO|Experience → Pokémon GO}}
In Pokémon GO, the player earns experience (abbreviated XP), rather than the Pokémon. As the player gains experience they gain levels. Leveling up awards the player with items, and certain levels unlock particular items. After reaching level 5, the player can choose a team, which allows them to use {{OBP|Gym|GO}}s. As the player's level increases, their Pokémon are able to achieve a higher Combat Power as the player powers them up.

===Eggs===
[[File:GO Egg.png|thumb|150px|An Egg in Pokémon GO]]
{{main|Pokémon Egg#Pokémon GO|Pokémon Egg → Pokémon GO}}
The player can obtain Eggs at [[PokéStop]]s. An Egg will hatch after traveling a certain distance while the Egg is in an incubator. Three Egg distances are possible: 2 km, 5 km, and 10 km. Each species has a set Egg distance and can only hatch from Eggs with this distance.

===Buddy===
By assigning a Buddy Pokémon, the player can get additional candies for that species of Pokémon as it walks. Depending on the species, one can get candies every 1 km, 3 km or 5 km walked. One can only have one Buddy at a time, and by changing the Buddy the progress made is lost, but the candies earned are kept.

===Medals===
{{main|Medal#Pokémon GO|Medal → Pokémon GO}}
The game has challenges that award [[Medal#Pokémon GO|medals]] upon completion. Medals can be viewed from a player's profile.

==Trivia==
* This is the only Pokémon game to have the word "Pokémon" spelled in Latin letters in its Japanese name.
* Because the game currently only features Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]], it is possible to hatch {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}}, {{p|Jynx}}, {{p|Electabuzz}}, and {{p|Magmar}} from {{pkmn|Egg}}s despite them being evolved Pokémon, since their pre-evolutions were introduced in later generations.
* Because the game only features Pokémon introduced in Generation I, no {{type|Dark}} Pokémon can be obtained.
* Pokémon GO has been banned in Iran due to security concerns.<ref>[http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-36989526 Pokemon Go banned by Iranian authorities over 'security' | BBC]</ref> However, some Iranians are still playing the game publicly regardless.<ref>[https://www.yahoo.com/tech/iranians-hunt-pokemon-despite-ban-071914210.html Iranians hunt Pokemon despite ban | Yahoo]</ref>

Talk:Rowlet (Pokémon)

2016-05-10T13:59:10Z

Mateussf: /* Type Effectiveness */ new section

==Rowlet's Design Origin==
Sorry for editing Popplio earlier. I edited before it got restricted in editing. Anyways, since Gen VII seems to be based in Hawaii, I think Rowlet is based on the {{wp|Pueo}}, the Hawaiian Owl.-[[User:Naui|Naui]] ([[User talk:Naui|talk]]) 12:48, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

And the name of the region is not Aloha, it is Alola, from Aloha. [[User:Chomper4|Chomper4]] ([[User talk:Chomper4|talk]]) 12:54, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

==Rowlet's Biology Section==
"Rowlet is an avian Pokémon that resembles a young owl. Its body is rounded in appearance, having no discernible head. A white facial disc frames its beady, dark eyes, and it has a short, stubby beak that is white on top and brownish-orange on the lower mandible. Most of its plumage is light brown in coloration, but it has white feathers at the base of its body. Part of its feathers are made of razor-sharp leaves, including a bow tie-like marking on the chin and its tail. There are also green feathers on the undersides of its wings that are revealed when they are spread. It's feet are brownish-orange with two claws facing forward and one pointing backwards.

Rowlet is capable of twisting its head nearly 180 degrees, which allows it to look behind itself. It has impressively keen eyesight and can fly silently through the darkness of night. As it approaches an opponent, it attacks with either powerful kicks or a flurry of leaves launched from a distance."

It would be easy to change the voice from "it" to "they" if that's what's preferred. [[User:Togeknight|~Destruction on Wings~]] ([[User talk:Togeknight|talk]]) 13:10, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

== Name Origins ==

Rowlet may be a combination or Rowan (the tree) and Owlet

Since we have this Pokémon's type already, then we can add its type effectiveness (which should be the same as [[Hoppip_(Pokémon)#Type_effectiveness|Hoppip's]], for example). [[User:Mateussf|Mateussf]] ([[User talk:Mateussf|talk]]) 13:59, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Artificial Pokémon

2011-02-03T23:59:55Z

Mateussf: /* Known artificial Pokémon */

In the [[Pokémon world]], a great deal of advanced technology is shown to be used by [[humans]]. Among this technology is the ability to create '''artificial Pokémon''' - [[Pokémon]] that have not emerged naturally but have been created, either through experiments or indirect means.

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

==Known artificial Pokémon==
===#088 Grimer===
[[File:Grimer anime.jpg|right|thumb|Human pollution is the indirect cause of the formation of Grimer.]]
{{p|Grimer}} (and consequently {{p|Muk}}), according to several [[Pokédex]] entries, was created from human pollution in a stream which was exposed to x-rays from the Moon. This would make it the first (by Pokédex number) Pokémon to emerge due to involvement from humans. Because of the nature of its development, Grimer is highly toxic and uses {{type2|Poison}} attacks.

===#100 Voltorb===
[[File:Wattson Voltorb.png|left|thumb|Voltorb takes on the appearance of a Poké Ball.]]
{{p|Voltorb}} (and consequently {{p|Electrode}}), according to several Pokédex entries, first appeared at the company where modern [[Poké Ball]]s were developed. While it is not known why, Voltorb looks strikingly similar to the red and white device, and this likely indicates some level of human involvement. It has been speculated to be a conscious form of energy, a theory supported by its {{m|Selfdestruct|unstable nature}}.

===#137 Porygon===
[[File:PorygonZero.png|right|thumb|Porygon can exist as computer data in cyberspace.]]
Before the discovery of {{p|Gobitto}}, {{p|Porygon}} was thought to be the first Pokémon created deliberately. It is the first Pokémon deliberately created using modern technology, as the result of an experiment by the [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Kanto]]. [[Silph Co.]] possesses a report on the Pokémon, calling it the first "virtual-reality Pokémon". It is made up entirely of computer data and programming, and is able to exist in cyberspace. According to some Pokédex entries, there is copy-protection data embedded in the program to prevent illegal reproduction. Also, Porygon does not breathe. Its Pokédex entry in {{game|Yellow}} speculates it may be capable of space travel; however, this and other abilities are limited to what is included in its program.

Porygon possesses two evolutions, both possible through artificial upgrades. {{p|Porygon2}} evolves from Porygon when it is traded while holding an {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Up-Grade}}. According to some Pokédex entries, it is designed to work in and explore space. However, its Pokédex entry in {{game|Platinum}} states it is unable to reach and explore other planets. Porygon2, unlike Porygon, is not limited to what is contained in its program - it is capable of learning.

Porygon2 evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Dubious Disc}}. It is apparently a modification of Porygon2, designed for travel between different [[dimensions]]. However, it did not work as planned and exhibits erratic behavior. Its body and head are in awkward positions, and is capable of displaying emotion.

===#150 Mewtwo===
[[File:Capture14.png|left|thumb|Mewtwo was created artificially as a clone of Mew.]]
{{p|Mewtwo}} is a powerful legendary Pokémon which is the result of gene splicing experiments using the DNA of {{p|Mew}}. According to logs found in the [[Pokémon Mansion]] in Kanto, Mew "gave birth" to Mewtwo after an embryo had been developed. This is inconsistent with Pokémon traditionally being born from {{pkmn|egg}}s. It has a somewhat artificial appearance, most notably the tube protruding from the back of its neck. Like Mew, it harnesses powerful {{t|psychic}} energy.

===#351 Castform===
[[File:Bart.png|right|thumb|Castform was created by scientists and can change forms with the weather.]]
{{p|Castform}} was created by scientists at the [[Weather Institute]] in [[Hoenn]]. It was created to help the scientists predict the weather - because of this, it has the ability to change its [[Form differences|form]] and type with the [[Weather conditions|weather condition]].

===#354 Banette===
Benette is a puppet that was thrown away and became a Pokémon.

===#568 Yabukuron===
{{p|Yabukuron}} (and consequently {{p|Dasutodasu}}) according to its Pokédex entry was created when a garbage dump accidentally had a chemical change of some sort.

===#622 Gobitto===
{{p|Gobitto}} and {{p|Goruugu}} were apparently created by an ancient civilization to protect people and Pokémon alike. This makes them the first Pokémon created by humans.

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

===#412 Burmy===
[[File:Wormadam Trash.png|left|thumb|Wormadam donning the Trash Cloak]]
{{p|Burmy}} create outer cloaks out of their habitat. This may be composed of natural materials, as seen in its Plant Cloak or Sandy Cloak, or of artificial building insulation as seen in its Trash Cloak. Burmy can change its cloak depending on the area it is used to battle in.

Female Burmy evolve into {{p|Wormadam}}, which retain the last cloak it had as a Burmy. This may be the artificial Trash Cloak. If so, it will be a {{2t|Bug|Steel}}-type Pokémon.

===#479 Rotom===
[[File:Cut Rotom.png|right|thumb|Rotom has the ability to take over man-made appliances, such as this lawnmower.]]
{{p|Rotom}}, as a {{type2|Ghost}}/{{type2|Electric}} Pokémon, has the ability to possess artificial machinery. These include toasters, washing machines, refrigerators, electric fans and lawnmowers. These allow Rotom to learn moves of different types and change its [[base stats]], while its Ghost typing is lost and substituted with a type characteristic of the possessed object.

===#649 Genesect===
{{p|Genesect}}, a legendary Pokémon, was a different Pokémon many years ago. However, in Unova, Team Plasma reconstructed it with a metal body, and also gave it items known as cassettes which change the type of {{m|Techno Buster|one of its attacks}}.

== Move '''In the anime''' pictures ==
So far, you're doing a great job at putting in '''In the anime''' pictures for moves. But you need to know some things:

1. The section is 'In the '''a'''nime', NOT 'In the ''A''nime.

2. '''ALWAYS''' put <code><nowiki> </nowiki></code> after putting in the image, BEFORE the ''Pokémon'' section.

That's all for now. --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User talk:Theryguy512|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Similarities|2]]''' 15:14, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[[Image:Akihabara.jpg|thumb|right|Dr. Akihabara]]
'''Dr. Akihabara''' (Japanese: '''アキハバラ博士''' ''Dr. Akihabara'') is a [[character of the day]] from the episode ''[[EP038|Computer Soldier Porygon]]'', but because the seizures in the episode caused it to be banned worldwide, he has never appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}} outside Japan. His last name is the name of a {{wp|Akihabara|Japanese district}} famous for its electronics stores. His Japanese voice actor is 島田敏 ''Bin Shimada''.

Although not much is known about this mysterious man, it is revealed that he created the Pokémon Transfer System. He has blue hair and wears glasses with strange patterns on the lenses. He is also a little bit eccentric and is thought to be slightly insane. He has created two {{p|Porygon}}, one prototype and one full model. At the end of the seizure-inducing explosion, Akibahara's house is destroyed, along with his software, disabling him from entering the computer world.

Team Rocket also used Porygon Zero to fight against the other Porygon that Akihabara had loaned to {{Ash}} and his {{AP|friends}}, and eventually lost.

'''Fergus''' (Japanese: '''ウミオ''' ''Umio'') is one of the main characters from ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. His Japanese voice actor is ''Wataru Takagi'' and his English voice actor is [[Jimmy Zoppi]].

Fergus was one of the only [[Pokémon Trainer]]s who was able to make it through {{an|Mewtwo}}'s storm and reach [[New Island]], along with {{Ash}}, {{ashfr|his friends}}, [[Neesha]] and [[Corey]]. When Mewtwo revealed himself to be the one who invited all the Trainers to New Island, Fergus was the first to speak out against it, claiming a Pokémon could not be a Trainer. He tried using his {{p|Gyarados}} to {{pkmn|battle}} Mewtwo, but the {{t|Psychic}} Pokémon easily defeated it.

Just like those of the other Trainers on New Island, all of his Pokémon were cloned by Mewtwo.

Shiny Pokémon

2009-09-02T21:14:36Z

Mateussf: /* Pokémon Stadium */

[[Image:Shiny charizard from (pokemon pokedex colecters edition).JPG|300px|thumb|right|"Pokémon Gallery: Encounter with Shining Pokémon" by [[Ken Sugimori]].]]

A '''shiny Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''色違い''' ''differently colored'' or '''光る''' ''shining'') is a specific Pokémon with different coloration to what is usual for its species. It is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species. The term "Shiny Pokémon" refers to the sparkling sound effect made at the start of an encounter with one in the games.

Shiny Pokémon in the games may differ in color from their normal counterparts either very little or very much. Usually the former is the case, with some Pokémon, such as {{p|Froslass}}, having their shiny form be only a few shades lighter in color. However, many Pokémon will have a spectacular difference between their normal and shiny variations; even extremely common Pokémon like {{p|Caterpie}} show a dramatic difference. An evolutionary line is not necessarily guaranteed to have similar alternate colorations, even if their standard colorations remain consistent; both {{p|Ponyta}} and {{p|Rapidash}} have orange flames, but an alternate colored Ponyta has blue flames, while an alternate colored Rapidash has gray flames.

Despite being completely different colors, however, the two forms of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} are not normal/shiny variations of one another. Their difference is more akin to [[form differences|the difference]] between {{p|Unown}} or {{p|Spinda}}.

Also, if a Pokémon is first encountered with an alternate color, then the Pokédex will have the normal counterpart's color.

==In the games==
In the [[version|main series]], shiny Pokémon were first introduced in [[Generation II]]. This was likely to take fullest advantage of the [[Game Boy Color]], which enhanced {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} and was required for {{game|Crystal}}.
{| align="left"
| [[Image:ShinyGSStars.png|left]]
|-
| height="5px" |
|-
| [[Image:Shinystar.gif|left]]
|}
When a shiny Pokémon appears in the wild or from a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s [[Poké Ball]], stars will surround it and make a pinging sound effect. In Generation II, this ping happens before the Pokémon's cry, while in Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, it occurs afterward. In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], a flash of light circles the Pokémon upon its release from the Poké Ball. On the Pokémon's status screen, its shiny status is indicated in Generation II as three small stars beside its gender and in Generations III and IV as a large star near its picture. In Generation III, the Pokémon's [[Pokédex]] number will also be colored gold instead of black, and in Generation IV, the number will be colored red.

===Pokémon Stadium===
In {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Pokémon with a nickname can be colored slightly differently, whether or not they are actually shiny. This seems to have been removed from later games. In the Ekans Hoop Hurl game in the [[Pok%C3%A9mon_Stadium_%28English%29#Kids.27_Club|Kid's Club]], there are golden Diglett, that are worth extra points.

===Generation II===
[[File:Red Gyarados.jpg|frame|A Red Gyarados.]]
[[Image:130.png|thumb|left|Regular {{p|Gyarados}}.]]
[[Image:130 s.png|thumb|left|Red Gyarados.]]
In Generation II, shininess is determined by the [[individual values]] (IVs) of a Pokémon. If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be shiny. This determination allowed for compatibility with [[Generation I]], as if a shiny Pokémon is traded back, then traded forward, it would retain its shininess. Despite the bonus of backward compatibility allowing for a shiny Pokémon to learn Generation I [[TM]]s, provided it was a Generation I Pokémon, shiny Pokémon are only slightly above average in terms of IVs.

Due to the probability of the IVs lining up in any of these manners to produce a shiny Pokémon, the chance of obtaining one in Generation II is approximately 1/8192. However, if one breeds a shiny Pokémon properly, the offspring may have as high as a 1/64 chance of being shiny, depending on the species of Pokémon.

Shininess is inherent to an individual Pokémon; that is, a Pokémon that starts out shiny will always be shiny, and one that is not will never be (provided its data is unaltered). Upon evolution, a Pokémon will retain its shiny status. A shiny {{p|Charmander}}, if leveled up, will eventually become a shiny {{p|Charmeleon}} and then a shiny {{p|Charizard}}, just as a regular Charmander will become a regular Charmeleon and then a regular Charizard. This is due to the status being determined by values inherent to the Pokémon; however, there is a [[Personality value|difference]] in the determination between Generation {{gen|II}} and Generations {{gen|III}} to {{gen|IV}}.

To highlight alternate coloration, a [[red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]] is part of the plot of the Generation II games and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|their remakes]]. After its defeat or capture, a Red Scale will be obtained, which can be given to [[Mr. Pokémon]] in exchange for an [[Exp. Share]]. The red Gyarados is the only Pokémon in the games that will be shiny without fail.

===Generations III and IV===
In [[Generation III]], most of the [[Template:data structure|data structure]]s were redone. As such, a Pokémon's shininess would no longer need to be linked to its stats due to incompatibilities between the previous generations. The determinant for shininess is instead a calculation based on the [[Trainer ID number]] of the player encountering it and the [[personality value#Shininess|personality value]] of the Pokémon. The same method is used in [[Generation IV]].

The secret ID and Trainer ID bytewords are first xored together, and then the first byteword of the personality value is xored with the second byteword of the personality value. If the xor of these two results is less than eight, then the Pokémon is shiny. This results in a [[Personality value#Shininess|probability]] of 8 in 65536; simplified as 1/8192 (2-13, or approximately 0.012207%), just as in Generation II. Symbolically:

(Trainer ID) '''xor''' (Secret ID) = E

(First byteword of personality value) '''xor''' (Second byteword of personality value) = F

If E '''xor''' F is less than eight, then the Pokémon is shiny.

In the [[Trainer Tower]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} there are three Trainers which have shiny Pokémon. In the single battle mode, the seventh Trainer has a shiny {{p|Meowth}}, while in [[double battle]] mode, the first pair of Trainers have a shiny {{p|Espeon}}. In another series of battles, a Trainer will send out a shiny {{p|Seaking}}.

In Generation IV, some Pokémon, such as Mystery Gifts and Ranger Manaphy, can't be shiny due to the game's code. However, the Ranger Manaphy's shininess won't be altered by the game if traded to a second cartridge as an {{pkmn|egg}} (changing the ID and SID). There are other methods which make obtaining alternately colored Pokémon a little bit easier: the [[Masuda method]] and the [[PokéRadar]] slightly raise the probabilities of hatching Pokémon from eggs and catching Pokémon from the wild, respectively.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
[[Image:207episode.jpg|right|thumb|A regular {{p|Kecleon}} with a purple Kecleon.]]
It is sometimes thought that the TM Merchant in the first [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] is a shiny Pokémon. It is a Kecleon, and although Kecleon are normally green, it is actually purple, including its sprite. However, though it is alternate-colored (like the Kecleon in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]''), it is not shiny (shiny Kecleon have a blue stripe instead of a red stripe) and is more likely a different color due to its {{a|Color Change}} ability. It says that it was so excited about [[Wonder Orbs|Orbs]] that it turned rosy-colored.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], a [[Celebi (Mystery Dungeon 2 character)|shiny Celebi]] appears, although shiny Pokémon are not obtainable normally in the game. Some argue that due to an altered timeline, this particular Celebi is shiny. Others argue that this one has feelings for a [[Grovyle (Mystery Dungeon 2 character)|male Pokémon]]. It is shown when the player talks with Celebi at the relay point in the [[Deep Dusk Forest]], where Celebi blushes when trying to deny her feelings for Grovyle. Therefore, the shiny coloring (pink) further emphasizes that this particular Celebi is inherently female. Grovyle also refers to this Celebi as 'she' and 'her'. Also, {{p|Dialga}} appears in different coloration. Like the purple Kecleon, this Dialga is not shiny. Unlike Kecleon, however, this is caused by a collapsing [[Temporal Tower]], resulting in complete loss of self-control, which earns it the name of "[[Primal Dialga]]".

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon WiiWare===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games]] for [[WiiWare]], Shiny Pokémon can be found in dungeons. The chances of finding one in a dungeon is the same chances as finding one in the wild in the [[main series]]. Unlike Shiny Pokémon in the past, however, the Alternate Colored Pokémon found in these games have an added bonus. Their Hunger stat is 200 as opposed to the 100 of normal Pokémon. A [[Red Gyarados]] can also be obtained at Level 30 via Wondermail password as a reference to the one found in the Johto-based games.

===Super Smash Bros.===
In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Lucario}} each have several different colorations exclusive to the series. One of {{p|Pikachu}}'s alternate colorations is its shiny form wearing {{ga|Red}}'s hat; however, all other playable Pokémon in the series, except Mewtwo, do not have their actual shiny form as an alternate coloration.

==In the TCG==
Alternate colored Pokémon have appeared in the TCG as well, first as {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} in {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} and {{TCG|Neo Destiny}}, and later as [[Pokémon Star (TCG)|Pokémon]] {{Star}} in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} - {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}}. {{TCG|Stormfront|Intense Fight in the Destroyed Sky}} includes three cards with alternate coloration artwork and a reverse holo effect, but are not classified as rare cards. Unlike Shining Pokémon and Pokémon {{Star}}, these newest alternate coloration cards do not play significantly differently from their normal coloration counterparts, and since the names of the cards are not changed to indicate the alternate coloration, they can be evolved into Stage 1 Pokémon, or from normal basic Pokémon.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
{{main|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime}}
Although the games had not premiered alternate colored Pokémon until Generation II, several Pokémon seen beforehand were colored differently. One such example is the [[pink Butterfree]], the mate of [[Ash's Butterfree]], which appeared as early as [[EP021|the twenty-first episode]]. This is, however, not the standard alternate coloration for a {{p|Butterfree}}, causing many to not count it. Likewise, the first appearance of a {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'' featured a non-standard alternate colored Pokémon, this time a purple {{p|Kecleon}}, this may be due to Kecleon's {{a|Color Change}} ability however, similarly to the case in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon.

The first Pokémon with an alternate coloration that was seen was also the first {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to appear, a {{an|Ho-Oh}} in [[EP001|the first episode]]. However it is possible that it may not have been intended to be an alternate coloration, as Ho-Oh may not have been fully designed by the episode's release and may have simply been colored after the version it represents, {{game|Gold}}. However since alternate coloration was also not yet an explored concept, however, most do not consider this to be a shiny Pokémon either. A blue {{p|Breloom}} and a light-blue {{p|Marill}} also appeared in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', which aren't the official alternate colors for those Pokémon, and are possibly coloring errors.

In the [[Orange Archipelago]], certain Pokémon have a different coloration because the climate is different than that of the mainland. For example, a Butterfree would have gold wings with red spots on them instead of just being white.

The first true shiny Pokémon that appeared, however, was a {{AP|Noctowl}} in ''[[EP154|Fowl Play!]]''. {{Ash}} eventually captured it, and, as in the games, sparkles surround it as it comes from its [[Poké Ball]]. Several other shiny Pokémon have appeared later as well.

== Recruit Rate ==
Should there be a section for Recruit Rates and stuff??? --[[User:CoolPikachu!|'''Co''']][[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin|'''ol''']] [[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''Pika''']][[User:CoolPikachu!/Extra‎|'''chu''']][[User:CoolPikachu!/Sig|'''!''']][http://www.pokemon-movie.jp/ '''!!''']

== Humans in the PMD world ==

there has to have been humans in the world the game takes place in. How else would all the pokémon in the story line know about humans? and also some of the friend areas were made by humans long ago. I think they went extinct due to the natural disasters that were ravaging the land. {{unsigned|TeamMegaraptor}}

== Typeless? ==

The typeless moves Vacuum Cut and Wide Slash, can one hack the game to get STAB from these moves? '''[[User:Optimus35|It's the <sc>Θρtιmαtum♏</sc>]][[User talk:Ph34r4ever|Talk]]|[[User:Optimus35/sig/Pikachu|Links]]''07:32 18 Jun 2008'''''

== Evolution? ==

How do Pokémon evolve in this game? I've been playing for a while and I haven't evolve yet (or maybe I won't evolve xD). I'm a Mudkip and I'm level 18 =S. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 01:48, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

You can't evolve pokemon until after you have beaten Rayquaza. after that, this cave appears in [[Whiscash pond]], where you can evolve pokemon. basiacally you have to finish the main plotline to evolve. --[[User:Cadellin|Cadellin]] 16:00, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
