MatoroBro0107: /* Generation IX */

'''Pokémon availability''' refers to the various means of obtaining {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|games}}.

==Overview==
In all [[core series]] games, some Pokémon may be {{pkmn2|caught}} and others are available via [[evolution]]. There are various [[methods of evolution]], including by reaching a certain [[level]], using an [[evolution stone]], or when the Pokémon is [[trade]]d. Other methods to obtain Pokémon also exist, including [[breeding]], [[in-game trade]]s, receiving them as [[gift Pokémon]], and {{pkmn2|event}}s. Some Pokémon may not be available in a certain game, but may be [[trade]]d from another game, or [[transfer]]red from an earlier [[generation]].

From [[Generation I]] until [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], each core series game was compatible with all the Pokémon species released to date, either from the current game itself or from the available trades, transfers, and events. In [[Generation III]], although it was initially impossible to legitimately collect all existing Pokémon due to the lack of connection with previous generations, those missing Pokémon eventually became available with new games in the same generation. However, from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] onwards, each new core series game has a limited pool of available Pokémon.

===Starter Pokémon===
{{main|Starter Pokémon}}

The [[starter Pokémon]] is given to the player at the start of their [[Pokémon journey]]. In most core series {{pkmn|games}} (except in [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon Yellow]], [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!]]), the player can choose a {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Water}}-, or {{type|Grass}} starter Pokémon at [[level]] 5. At least one of the player's [[rival]]s will also always choose or have a starter Pokémon, which may either have a type advantage or disadvantage over the player's depending on the game.

===Wild Pokémon===
{{main|Wild Pokémon}}

The player is able to find and {{pkmn|battle}} several kinds of [[wild Pokémon]] in [[tall grass]], [[cave]]s, [[water]], etc. The wild Pokémon can be caught using a [[Poké Ball]].

===Version-exclusive Pokémon===
{{main|Version-exclusive Pokémon}}

Some Pokémon are only found in one or two games within a particular set, to encourage [[Trade|trading]] between players. For example, between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{p|Mawile}} appears only in Ruby, while {{p|Sableye}} appears only in Sapphire. Therefore, a player with Sapphire would not be able to obtain Mawile in-game and could trade with a player of Ruby to obtain one, and vice versa. Version-exclusive Pokémon usually complement each other in design, type, and location in the wild.

===Mutually exclusive Pokémon===
{{main|Mutually exclusive Pokémon}}

In some cases, there are multiple Pokémon potentially available in a single game, but the player must choose one of them or otherwise can't get them all in a single game. They include many trios of [[starter Pokémon]], some [[Fossil]] Pokémon and in some cases [[Legendary Pokémon]].

For instance, the player is able to choose between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} as their {{pkmn2|starter}} in {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red, Blue}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed and LeafGreen}}. The player may also choose one of these Pokémon as a gift given by [[Professor Oak]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, SoulSilver}}, by [[Professor Sycamore]] in {{g|X and Y}}, and by [[Grand Oak]] in {{g|HOME}}.

Several pairs of games have enough Pokémon to complete their [[regional Pokédex]], except for some event-exclusive Pokémon. However, some games still may need to be restarted at least once to acquire all starters or other mutually exclusive Pokémon.

===Permanently missable Pokémon===
{{main|Permanently missable Pokémon}}

Some Pokémon are permanently missable. For instance, prior to {{game|Platinum}}, if the player defeats a wild Pokémon that spawned from an in-game event (such as several [[Legendary Pokémon]] and other Pokémon visible in the overworld), that Pokémon becomes unavailable in the current game. In this case, no other Pokémon of the same species will appear in the current game.

===Unobtainable Shiny Pokémon===
{{main|List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon}}

In some cases, a Pokémon cannot be legitimately obtained as {{Shiny}}. This can happen if the Pokémon cannot be Shiny in the wild or as an in-game gift (or cannot be obtained this way at all) and has never been distributed as Shiny.

==Availability by generation==
:''See also: [[List of Pokémon by availability]]''

===Generation I===
In [[Generation I]], there are 151 Pokémon. 150 Pokémon are available in-game and 1 Pokémon is event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}).

{{p|Lickitung}}, {{p|Jynx}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, and {{p|Mr. Mime}} were originally exclusive to [[in-game trade]]s. For this reason, until the release of later games in which they could be obtained in the wild, they could only have their traded nicknames and the Original Trainer of "TRAINER".

In this generation, the [[Pokédex]] location map does not display the Pokémon available in the [[Cerulean Cave]]. For instance, the Pokédex map claims that the location of wild {{p|Rhydon}} is unknown in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, when in fact wild Rhydon is only found in the Cerulean Cave.

It is possible to trade Pokémon with the [[Generation II]] games via the [[Time Capsule]], which opens up {{pkmn|breeding}} as an option for obtaining Pokémon.

====Pokémon Red and Blue====
In Japan, the original pair of releases was {{game|Red and Green|s}}, which were followed by {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Pokémon Blue}}. International releases were called {{game|Red and Blue|s}} but followed the availability of the Japanese Red and Green. {{game|Red and Green|s}} together have all the available Pokémon in this generation.

====Pokémon Yellow====
In {{game|Yellow}}, there is {{ga|Red's Pikachu|a single Pikachu}} available as the [[starter Pokémon]]. This {{p|Pikachu}} cannot [[evolve]] in the game where it was caught. However, it can evolve normally if traded to another game, and conversely, a Pikachu from another game can evolve normally in Yellow. Due to this, {{p|Raichu}} is unavailable in Pokémon Yellow outside of trades.

===Generation II===
In [[Generation II]], there are 251 Pokémon.

* In the [[Game Boy Color]] release, 249 Pokémon are available in-game and 2 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}}).
* In the [[Virtual Console]] release, 250 Pokémon are available in-game (now including {{p|Celebi}}) and 1 is event-exclusive (Mew). Prior to {{game|Crystal}}'s Virtual Console release, Celebi was still event-exclusive.

It is possible to trade Pokémon between Generation I and II games via the [[Time Capsule]]. Those Pokémon and their evolutions (if any) are available in the [[Generation I]] games, but cannot be found in [[Generation II]] outside of trades: {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}.

====Pokémon Gold and Silver====
In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, almost all Generation II Pokémon are available without trades (except for trade evolutions) or events, other than {{p|Celebi}}.

====Pokémon Crystal====
In {{game|Crystal}}, most Generation I and II Pokémon are available except for some version-exclusive Pokémon.

In the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}} for Game Boy Color, the player is able to summon a wild {{p|Celebi}} if they have the [[GS Ball]] that was distributed via the [[Mobile System GB]], which was shut down in 2002. In this generation, Celebi was also {{gdis|List of European language event Pokémon distributions|II|distributed}} in other countries, by other means unrelated to the GS Ball. This changed in the Virtual Console release, where the GS Ball is found in-game (in all languages).

===Generation III===
In [[Generation III]], there are 386 Pokémon. 380 Pokémon are available in the [[core series]] games, and 6 Pokémon are available by other means ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, and {{p|Deoxys}}).

There is no way to [[transfer]] Pokémon from previous generations into Generation III. However, all Pokémon from previous generations are available in the Generation III games as well.

It is possible to trade Pokémon between the core series games and the [[Orre]]-based side series games for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] ([[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{XD}}). However, completing the [[National Pokédex]] in the core series does not require the Orre games. Almost all Pokémon found in the Orre games are also obtainable without events in the core series. Ho-Oh and Lugia are the only two exceptions, which can be obtained in the core series via the [[MysticTicket]] event or traded from the Orre games, but those two Pokémon are not required for the National Pokédex in this generation.

{{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} are special cases in that, not counting Colosseum or XD, they require a trade to be obtained, but do not evolve by trading. The [[Time|real-time clock]] required for the evolution is present only in Hoenn-based games, but Eevee cannot be obtained in these games without trading it from other games.

The form of {{p|Deoxys}} depends on which game it is in: it is in Normal Forme in Ruby, Sapphire, Colosseum, and XD, Attack Forme in FireRed, Defense Forme in LeafGreen, and Speed Forme in Emerald. Its form cannot be changed without trading.

{{p|Unown}}'s ? and ! forms were originally introduced in the data of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, but they were not originally found anywhere at the time of release of these games and {{pkmn|Colosseum}}. Those forms were later made available in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, a planned [[Mystery Gift]] event would allow some [[Generation II]] Pokémon to appear in the [[Altering Cave]] ({{p|Mareep}}, {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Pineco}}, {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Stantler}}, and {{p|Smeargle}}), but this event was never released. Some of these Pokémon can be found in Colosseum or XD, and they all became available elsewhere in Emerald as well.

The [[Nintendo DS]] is backwards-compatible with the [[Game Boy Advance]] games, except without any multiplayer features. Therefore, when a player uses a Nintendo DS to play the Generation III games, they are not able to trade Pokémon or connect with the GameCube.

====Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald====
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the first 200 Pokémon from the {{gdis|List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|III|Generation III Hoenn Pokédex}} are available in-game (not counting the event-exclusive {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}). Other than trades or events, there are no available Pokémon outside the Hoenn Pokédex.

In {{game|Emerald}}, most Pokémon from Ruby and Sapphire are available as well (except some [[version-exclusive Pokémon]]). After the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained, there are also 33 [[Generation II]] Pokémon (almost all found in the {{ho|Safari Zone}}). Those Generation II Pokémon are not otherwise obtainable in the core series games, although some of them can be traded from the Orre-based side series games.

In the case of the [[Johto]] [[starter Pokémon]], the player can receive one of their choice in Emerald after obtaining all non-event Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex. Wild {{p|Surskit}} can only appear in Emerald in a [[mass outbreak]] after [[record mixing]] with Ruby or Sapphire.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there are 195 Pokémon available in-game. This includes the first 150 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Generation III Kanto Pokédex]] (not counting the event-exclusive {{p|Mew}}). The other Pokémon become available after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained: 43 [[Generation II]] Pokémon (almost all found in the [[Sevii Islands]]), and 2 [[Generation III]] Pokémon ({{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Wynaut}}).

The {{p|Mew}} found on the [[Faraway Island]] can only be accessed with the [[Old Sea Map]], an event-exclusive item which {{DL|List of other event distributions in Generation III|Old Sea Map|was only legitimately distributed in Japan and Taiwan}}. However, Mew {{gdis|List of English event Pokémon distributions|III|was also distributed in some other events elsewhere}} unrelated to the Old Sea Map and the Faraway Island.

====Pokémon Channel, Colosseum, and XD: Gale of Darkness====
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], there are 60 obtainable Pokémon outside of trades: 2 [[starter Pokémon]] ({{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}), [[List of Shadow Pokémon|51 Shadow Pokémon]], 6 evolutions of Shadow Pokémon, and the {{p|Ho-Oh}} from [[Mt. Battle]]. However, the 3 Shadow Pokémon found in the [[Card e Room]] ({{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Mareep}}, and {{p|Scizor}}) are exclusive to the Japanese version, bringing down the total to 57 obtainable Pokémon in the international versions.

In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there are 130 obtainable Pokémon outside of trades: the single [[starter Pokémon]] ({{p|Eevee}}), 1 [[Eeveelution]] (out of 5 [[Mutually exclusive Pokémon#Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|mutually exclusive]] options), [[List of Shadow Pokémon|83 Shadow Pokémon]], 36 evolutions of Shadow Pokémon, the 3 [[Johto]] [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Mt. Battle]], and the 6 evolutions of Johto starter Pokémon.

{{p|Ho-Oh}} can be obtained from [[Mt. Battle]] in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{p|Lugia}} can be caught in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}. Jirachi can be obtained from {{g|Channel}} in Europe or from the [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]] in America, while Celebi can be obtained from the Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc in Japan.

===Generation IV===
In [[Generation IV]], there are 493 Pokémon.

In the core series, 484 Pokémon are available in-game and 9 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}). Prior to the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} were also event-exclusive. Additionally, a {{p|Manaphy}} {{pkmn|Egg}} may be transferred from any of the three [[Pokémon Ranger series]] games, and {{p|Phione}} may be bred from Manaphy.

Pokémon from the Generation III games may be [[transfer]]red to Generation IV via the [[Pal Park]].

Aside from {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regigigas}}, all non-event Pokémon from Generations I–IV are available in the Generation IV games and don't require the Pal Park. A Regigigas may be caught in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum if the player already has Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. Conversely, Regirock, Regice, and Registeel may be caught in Platinum if the player already has a [[fateful encounter]] Regigigas. The only way to obtain these Pokémon without events is to transfer the trio of [[Legendary giants]] from the Generation III games via the Pal Park and use them to obtain Regigigas.

====Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum====
{{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} together have all the Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] (which has 150 Pokémon in these games), aside from the event-exclusive {{p|Manaphy}}. {{game|Platinum}} is missing some Pokémon from the Sinnoh Pokédex (which has 210 Pokémon in this game) that can be found in either Diamond or Pearl.

{{p|Spiritomb}} may be caught in the [[Hallowed Tower]] in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, but only after the player speaks with other players in the [[Underground]] at least 32 times. They need to be connected via the wireless features of the Nintendo DS. In this generation, the [[Pokéwalker]] is the only other place where Spiritomb is available.

The [[dual-slot mode]] causes some additional wild Pokémon to appear in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum if a [[Game Boy Advance]] cartridge is inserted in the [[Nintendo DS]] system. This is not possible on the [[Nintendo DSi]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] systems, which lack a GBA slot. However, all Pokémon available from the dual-slot mode are also available (without the dual-slot mode) in HeartGold or SoulSilver.

Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}}, Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}}, and all appliance forms of {{p|Rotom}} were introduced in Platinum and are also compatible with HeartGold and SoulSilver, but they are incompatible with Diamond and Pearl.

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
{{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} together have all the Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Generation IV Johto Pokédex]] (which has 256 Pokémon in this generation), except for the event-exclusive {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}. Alternatively, most Pokémon from the Johto Pokédex can be transferred from the Generation III games, except {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}} used to be event-exclusive in Generation III, and there are 5 new evolutions introduced to the Johto Pokédex in Generation IV.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, there is no [[special magnetic field]], [[Moss Rock]], or [[Ice Rock]]. For this reason, {{p|Magnezone}}, {{p|Probopass}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}} cannot be obtained via [[evolution]]. Those evolved Pokémon are unavailable except by trading from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

[[Spiky-eared Pichu]] is event-exclusive. The {{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu}} was a {{Shiny}} Pichu distributed via events in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, but if it is traded with HeartGold or SoulSilver and taken to [[Ilex Forest]], then the player will obtain Spiky-eared Pichu. This can still occur even if Pikachu-colored Pichu evolves. The Spiky-eared Pichu is only available in HeartGold and SoulSilver and is unable to be traded or transferred to any other games. Only one Spiky-eared Pichu is available per game in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

[[List of Pokémon found through the Pokéwalker|Some Pokémon can be found]] through the [[Pokéwalker]], a pedometer device that was shipped with and is able to communicate with HeartGold and SoulSilver. Some Pokémon obtained from the Pokéwalker cannot be found normally in HeartGold and SoulSilver (such as {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Feebas}}, and {{p|Wailmer}}). However, all Pokémon from the Pokéwalker may be normally found in multiple Generation IV games (the ones unavailable from HeartGold and SoulSilver may be found in Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum), so the Pokéwalker is not required to find any Pokémon in this generation.

{{p|Rayquaza}} can be caught in the [[Embedded Tower]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver, but only after the player trades with the opposite version to obtain a {{p|Kyogre}} or {{p|Groudon}}.

===Generation V===
In [[Generation V]], there are 649 Pokémon.

In the core series, 636 Pokémon are available in-game and 13 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, and {{p|Genesect}}). Prior to the release of {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} were also event-exclusive.

Pokémon from Generation IV may be [[transfer]]red to Generation V via [[Poké Transfer]] (including any Pokémon previously transferred from Generation III). Some Pokémon were also available from the now-defunct [[Dream World]].

All non-event Pokémon that cannot be obtained in Generation V without Poké Transfer may be found in Generation IV (since Generation IV includes almost all of the non-event Pokémon from the previous generations). Some Pokémon available in the Dream World are not available anywhere else in Generation V (such as {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Diglett}}), but may be transferred from Generation IV as well.

====Pokémon Black and White====
{{game|Black and White|s}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the first version of the Unova Pokédex (which has a total of {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Black and White|156 Pokémon}}).

{{p|Landorus}} can be caught at the [[Abundant Shrine]] in both Black and White after the player trades with the opposite version to obtain {{p|Tornadus}} or {{p|Thundurus}}.

In Black and White, the [[Relocator]] may be used to transfer certain event Pokémon from the Generation IV games for the purpose of catching {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}. Zorua becomes available if the player transfers {{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Celebi}}, and Zoroark becomes available if the player transfers the {{Shiny}} [[Legendary beasts]] ({{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Raikou, Entei, and Suicune}}).

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
{{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the second version of the Unova Pokédex (which was expanded to a total of {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Black 2 and White 2|301 Pokémon}}).

{{p|Kyurem|White Kyurem, Black Kyurem}}, the Therian Forms of the [[Forces of Nature]] (Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus), and Resolute Form {{p|Keldeo}} were introduced in Black 2 and White 2, and are incompatible with Black and White. Additionally, all of these forms except for Keldeo's cannot be traded at all; due to this and the way that the [[DNA Splicers]] work, it is impossible to own both White Kyurem and Black Kyurem at the same time, and it is also impossible to own more than one Black Kyurem or more than one White Kyurem at once.

In Black 2 and White 2, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} can be caught in the [[Underground Ruins]]. However, Regice only appears in Black 2 if the player receives the Iceberg [[Key System|Key]] from White 2 via [[Unova Link]], while Registeel only appears in White 2 if the player receives the Iron Key from Black 2 via Unova Link. {{p|Regigigas}} can then be caught in [[Twist Mountain]] only if the player has Regirock, Regice and Registeel, so Regigigas also requires trading or using Unova Link to obtain without using Poké Transfer.

{{p|Stunky}} and {{p|Glameow}} are available via a special [[Funfest Mission]] that can only be hosted in Black 2 or White 2, respectively. However, the opposite version can still obtain the other Pokémon by joining the Funfest Mission.

Certain Pokémon that can be caught in Black 2 and White 2 are found only in the [[Nature Preserve]], which is only accessible by seeing all non-event Pokémon in the New Unova Pokédex (most notably, {{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Gyarados}}, otherwise available only by purchasing a Magikarp from the [[Magikarp salesman]], are available to catch at the Nature Preserve). Accessing the Nature Preserve requires trading, as it is impossible to see all stages of whichever starter was not picked by the player nor by [[Hugh]], as well as some of the version-exclusive Pokémon not being used by any NPC Trainers.

===Generation VI===
In [[Generation VI]], there are 721 Pokémon.

In the core series, 706 Pokémon are available in-game and 15 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, and {{p|Volcanion}}). Prior to the release of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, {{p|Deoxys}} was also event-exclusive.

Pokémon from Generation V can be [[transfer]]red one-way to the {{g|Bank}} via the [[Poké Transporter]] (including any Pokémon previously transferred from Generations III and IV). Once in Pokémon Bank, these Pokémon can be withdrawn to the Generation VI games. However, Pokémon that have been in a Generation VII game and or that were sent from the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] games cannot be withdrawn to Generation VI.

All non-event Pokémon from Generations I–VI may be found in Generation VI without requiring use of Pokémon Bank. However, in the Generation VI games, {{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} may only be found in their Spring Form. Other forms can only be obtained by transferring them from the Generation V games.

====Pokémon X and Y====
{{g|X and Y}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the three [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos Pokédexes]] (which have a total of 457 Pokémon; most are from previous generations, though all Generation VI Pokémon are found in the Kalos Pokédexes).

In Pokémon X and Y, several Pokémon are available from the [[Friend Safari]], which contains various areas that are unlocked based on the friends registered on the player's [[Nintendo 3DS]]. However, all Pokémon found in the Friend Safari are also available elsewhere in X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire.

====Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire====
{{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the {{gdis|List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|VI|Generation VI Hoenn Pokédex}} (which has 211 Pokémon; all of them are from previous generations) and several other Pokémon as well.

Some [[Mega Evolution]]s, [[Primal Reversion]], the [[Cosplay Pikachu]], and {{p|Hoopa}} {{form|Hoopa|Unbound}} were introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and are incompatible with Pokémon X and Y. Only one Cosplay Pikachu is available per game; it is unable to evolve, and it cannot be traded or transferred to any other games.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, several Pokémon can be found in the [[Mirage spot]]s, which may appear and disappear and are accessible by [[soaring in the sky]]. Some Mirage spots contain a [[Legendary Pokémon]] from a previous generation, and appear if the player meets a certain condition (such as having certain Pokémon in their [[party]], or having any [[level]] 100 Pokémon in their party). There are also 32 daily Mirage spots that contain multiple non-Legendary Pokémon. Only one daily Mirage spot appears on each day, unless the player receives additional Mirage spots via [[StreetPass]].

====Friend Safari and Mirage spots====
In the Generation VI games, the Pokémon below (and their evolutionary families, via evolution or breeding) can only be found in the [[Friend Safari]]{{sup/6|XY}} and in the random daily Mirage spots{{sup/6|ORAS}}. They may or may not be available at a certain point in time, until the player waits for the correct day, receives the correct Mirage spot via StreetPass, or unlocks the correct area in the Friend Safari.

Available in both the Friend Safari and the daily Mirage spots:

* {{p|Venomoth}}
* {{p|Chansey}} (Friend Safari), {{p|Happiny}} (Mirage spots)
* {{p|Tangela}}
* {{p|Electabuzz}} (Friend Safari), {{p|Elekid}} (Mirage spots)
* {{p|Magmar}} (Friend Safari), {{p|Magby}} (Mirage spots)
* {{p|Sunkern}}
* {{p|Forretress}}
* {{p|Munna}}
* {{p|Zebstrika}}
* {{p|Excadrill}}
* {{p|Petilil}}
* {{p|Maractus}}
* {{p|Minccino}}
* {{p|Klink}} (Mirage spots), {{p|Klang}} (Friend Safari)
* {{p|Vullaby}}
* {{p|Larvesta}}

Available in the daily Mirage spots but not in the Friend Safari:

* {{p|Persian}}
* {{p|Porygon}}
* {{p|Unown}}
* {{p|Stantler}}
* {{p|Kricketune}}
* {{p|Cherrim}}
* {{p|Glameow}}, {{p|Purugly}}
* {{p|Darmanitan}}
* {{p|Cofagrigus}}
* {{p|Tynamo}}

===Generation VII===
In [[Generation VII]], there are 809 Pokémon. Prior to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], there were 807 Pokémon. Prior to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, there were 802 Pokémon. There are also 18 [[Alolan form]]s available in all games of this generation.

====Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon====
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, 786 Pokémon are available in-game and 16 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, and {{p|Marshadow}}).

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, some new Pokémon species and forms were introduced which are incompatible with Sun and Moon. 790 Pokémon are available in-game (the same as in Sun and Moon, with the additions of {{p|Poipole}}, {{p|Naganadel}}, {{p|Stakataka}}, and {{p|Blacephalon}}) and 17 Pokémon are event-exclusive (the same as in Sun and Moon, with the addition of {{p|Zeraora}}). The {{form|Necrozma|Dusk Mane, Dawn Wings, and Ultra forms}} of {{p|Necrozma}}, as well as the event-only {{DL|Pikachu in a cap|Partner Cap Pikachu}} and {{form|Lycanroc|Dusk Form}} {{p|Lycanroc}} were introduced in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon as well.

{{p|Celebi}} used to be event-exclusive as well in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon prior to the [[Virtual Console]] release of {{game|Crystal}}.

Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon are compatible with the [[Pokémon Bank]]. This allows the one-way transfer of Pokémon from earlier generations into these games (since the [[Generation VI]] games are also compatible with the Pokémon Bank, while the [[Generation V]] games and the [[Virtual Console]] version of [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games can use the [[Poké Transporter]]).

Sun and Moon together, as well as Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon together, have all the non-event Pokémon from the Alola Pokédex (which has {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Sun and Moon|302 Pokémon}} in the first pair of games and was expanded to {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|403 Pokémon}} in the second pair of games). Some Pokémon outside the Alola Pokédex are also available in-game, but several other Pokémon from previous generations cannot be found in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, except by being transferred from earlier generations.

The Spring Form of {{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} can be transferred from Generation VI games while the other forms of both Pokémon can be transferred from Generation V games.

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the first 150 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] are available in-game (including their Alolan forms), and 3 additional Pokémon are available by other means: {{p|Mew}} by getting it from the [[Poké Ball Plus]] and {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}} by transferring them from {{g|GO}} via the [[GO Park]]. This pair of games is incompatible with all other Pokémon, and are the first core-series games to do so, which became the norm following later releases.

The {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and partner {{p|Eevee}} are exclusive to Let's Go, Pikachu! and Eevee!, respectively. Each game has only one partner Pikachu or Eevee; it cannot [[evolve]], and it cannot be traded or transferred to other games. However, regular Pikachu and Eevee are available in both games.

The games are incompatible with Pokémon Bank, but were later supported by Pokémon HOME.

===Generation VIII===
In [[Generation VIII]], there are 905 Pokémon. When {{g|Sword and Shield}} were initially released, there were 890 Pokémon; 3 more debuted in [[The Isle of Armor]] (including the event-exclusive {{p|Zarude}}), 5 more debuted in [[The Crown Tundra]], and the remaining 7 debuted in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

No games in this generation feature every Pokémon. {{g|HOME}}, an application for storing and transferring Pokémon, is compatible with all 905 Pokémon; however, the games themselves are incompatible with certain Pokémon. These incompatible Pokémon cannot be obtained in the games in any way, including via transfer.

Pokémon in {{g|Bank}}, including those [[transfer]]red from previous generations, can be transferred to Pokémon HOME. Pokémon from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] can also be deposited into Pokémon HOME, and since November 10, 2020, it has been possible for Pokémon from {{g|GO}} to be transferred into Pokémon HOME via the [[GO Transporter]]. Additionally, some Pokémon have been directly {{gdis|List of game-based Pokémon distributions|VIII|distributed}} in Pokémon HOME, either as events or rewards for certain actions; most notably, the {{form|Magearna|Original Color}} {{p|Magearna}} is obtainable in HOME as a reward for completion of the [[National Pokédex]], which is the only way to obtain it, though it can only be obtained with events due to the fact that some of the Pokémon in the National Pokédex are event-exclusive.

Once in HOME, if a Pokémon is compatible with a Generation VIII game, it can be moved to that game. Additionally, Pokémon can be moved from Generation VIII games into HOME, allowing them to be exchanged between all of the generation's games. However, if a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] (besides {{p|Meltan}} or {{p|Melmetal}}) is transferred to HOME from Pokémon GO, then it cannot be deposited into a game unless the player has already obtained one of its species in that game. {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and {{g|Legends: Arceus}} were not compatible with Pokémon HOME until the Version 2.0.0 update, released on May 18, 2022.

====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
{{g|Sword and Shield}} are compatible with 664 Pokémon. Of these, 656 are available in-game and 8 are event-exclusive ({{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, {{p|Zeraora}}, and {{p|Zarude}}). Prior to the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], {{p|Keldeo}} was also event-exclusive; prior to {{g|HOME}} becoming compatible with {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Jirachi}} were also event-exclusive.

* At first, only 401 Pokémon were obtainable, consisting of the 400 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] and {{p|Mew}} from the [[Poké Ball Plus]]. Sword and Shield together have all 400 Pokémon in the Galar Pokédex.
* In version 1.1.0 of the games, [[Galarian form|Galarian]] {{p|Slowpoke}} was added and made available to catch at [[Wedgehurst Station]], increasing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 402.
* Ahead of the release of {{g|HOME}}, 6 additional Pokémon (the {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}} lines) were made available in event Max Raid Battles, raising the total to 408.
* Upon the release of {{g|HOME}}, 34 additional Pokémon were made available via transfer from previous generations (including the event-exclusive {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, and {{p|Zeraora}}), bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 436.
* In version 1.2.0 of the games, with the release of [[The Isle of Armor]], 103 additional Pokémon (including the event-exclusive {{p|Zarude}}) not present in the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] became available as part of a new [[List of Pokémon by Isle of Armor Pokédex number|Isle of Armor Pokédex]], and {{p|Magearna}} was made available via Pokémon HOME (albeit as an event-exclusive Pokémon), bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 540. Additionally, 15 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means. With The Isle of Armor, Sword and Shield together have all 211 Pokémon from the Isle of Armor Pokédex except for the event-exclusive Zarude, and also have {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}}, {{p|Popplio}}, and their evolutionary families.
* In version 1.3.0 of the games, with the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], 124 additional Pokémon (including the event-exclusive {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, and {{p|Volcanion}}) present in neither the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] nor the [[List of Pokémon by Isle of Armor Pokédex number|Isle of Armor Pokédex]] became obtainable, bringing the total to 664. Of these newly available Pokémon, 71 became available as part of a new [[List of Pokémon by Crown Tundra Pokédex number|Crown Tundra Pokédex]]. Additionally, 13 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means (including {{p|Keldeo}}, thus making it no longer event-exclusive). With The Crown Tundra, Sword and Shield together have all 210 Pokémon in the Crown Tundra Pokédex, as well as 59 others.

In total, Pokémon Sword and Shield together, including the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}, have 651 Pokémon, consisting of all of the Pokémon in the Galar, Isle of Armor, and Crown Tundra Pokédexes, besides the event-exclusive Zarude, and 68 others not in any of the three Pokédexes. The games are also compatible with 13 additional Pokémon (all of which are [[Mythical Pokémon]]) that are only obtainable via events or transferring them from other games: {{p|Mew}} (which is also available via the Poké Ball Plus), {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, {{p|Zeraora}}, {{p|Meltan}}, {{p|Melmetal}}, and {{p|Zarude}} (which is the only one of the 13 not obtainable via transfer from a previous generation). None of these are in any of the three Pokédexes in the games except Zarude, which is in the Isle of Armor Pokédex.

Pokémon Sword and Shield are also compatible with [[Galarian form|Galarian]] and [[Alolan form]]s. They feature all 19 Galarian forms, but due to some Pokémon with Alolan forms not being featured in the games, only 11 out of the 18 Alolan forms are present. All Alolan forms (that exist in the games) and original forms of Pokémon with Galarian forms are obtainable without requiring transfer from previous generations, though most require the Expansion Pass to obtain in this way.

* At first, 13 Galarian forms and no Alolan forms were available. Additionally, the original forms of {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Yamask}}, and {{p|Mr. Mime}} are obtainable via [[in-game trade]]s.
* {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}} was added and made available to catch at [[Wedgehurst Station]] in the version 1.1.0 update. However, it was initially unable to evolve.
* Upon the release of {{g|HOME}}, the Alolan forms of {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Dugtrio}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and {{p|Persian}} became available via [[transfer]] from previous games. Additionally, the original forms of all Pokémon with Galarian forms became available via transfer as well, with the exception of Slowpoke, which was unable to be transferred.
* With the release of [[The Isle of Armor]], due to the additions of {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, and {{p|Marowak}}, the Alolan forms of each have become available via transfer. Additionally, Slowpoke's original form was made available to transfer, as well as the rest of the Slowpoke line, and Galarian Slowpoke was made available to catch outside of Wedgehurst Station. Galarian {{p|Slowbro}} was also added, with Galarian Slowpoke now being able to evolve into it.
** The Isle of Armor also introduces an NPC named Regina, who appears in random locations on the [[Isle of Armor]] and will trade Alolan forms to the player in exchange for their original forms, or will trade the original forms of Pokémon in exchange for their Galarian forms. After she has been traded with, she will relocate to another position on the island and be available for another trade; it is possible for her to repeat the same trade an indefinite number of times. From Regina, the original forms of {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Ponyta}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Weezing}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Corsola}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Darumaka}}, and {{p|Stunfisk}} and the Alolan forms of {{p|Exeggutor}} and {{p|Marowak}} can be obtained without requiring transfer (as can the original forms of {{p|Rapidash}}, {{p|Linoone}}, and {{p|Darmanitan}} via evolution). However, trades for Farfetch'd and Darumaka are exclusive to Pokémon Sword, while trades for Ponyta and Corsola are exclusive to Pokémon Shield.
** The Isle of Armor also features a {{DL|Fields of Honor|Diglett Trainer}} who owns 151 Alolan Diglett that are scattered throughout the island. The player is tasked with finding these Diglett, and the Trainer will reward them with Pokémon, most of which are Alolan forms, when they reach certain milestones. From this Diglett Trainer, the following forms of Pokémon are obtainable without requiring transfer: Alolan {{p|Meowth}} (after finding 5 Diglett), regular {{p|Slowpoke}} (after finding 10 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Vulpix}} (after finding 20 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Sandshrew}} (after finding 30 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Raichu}} (after finding 40 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Marowak}} (after finding 50 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}} (after finding 75 Diglett), and Alolan {{p|Diglett}} (after finding all 151 Diglett). By evolving these Pokémon, the Alolan forms of {{p|Persian}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Sandslash}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} and the original forms of {{p|Slowbro}} and {{p|Slowking}} are also obtainable.
* With the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], the Galarian forms of {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} became available, as did their original forms via transfer. However, it is also possible to obtain the original forms of Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres without having to transfer them, as they are among the available [[Legendary Pokémon]] in [[Dynamax Adventure]]s. Galarian {{p|Slowking}} was also added, with Galarian Slowpoke now being able to evolve into it.

====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
{{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} are compatible with 493 Pokémon, consisting of every Pokémon from the first four [[generation]]s, as in the original {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.

*491 Pokémon are obtainable in-game; of them, 1 ({{p|Arceus}}) is only obtainable via [[save data bonus]]es or [[transfer]], 4 ({{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, and {{p|Shaymin}}) are only obtainable via transfer or events, and 2 ({{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}) are only obtainable via transfer. The remaining 2 Pokémon ({{p|Mew}} and {{p|Jirachi}}) are obtainable via save data bonuses.
**In order to obtain {{p|Mew}}, the player must have save data from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!]] on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met, a {{tc|Gentleman}} in [[Floaroma Town]] will {{pkmn2|gift}} the player a Mew when spoken to.
**In order to obtain {{p|Jirachi}}, the player must have save data from {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword or Shield}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met, a {{tc|Madame}} in [[Floaroma Town]] will gift the player a Jirachi when spoken to.
**In order to obtain {{p|Arceus}} without transfer, the player must have save data from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system, and they must have completed all of said game's 27 story [[Task|missions]] within this save data. If this requirement is met and the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]] and obtained the [[National Pokédex]], they can obtain the [[Azure Flute]] in their [[Player's house|house]] in [[Twinleaf Town]], which can then be used at [[Spear Pillar]] to access the [[Hall of Origin]] and {{pkmn|battle}} and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Arceus. This is only possible in Version 1.3.0 or later.
**A [[Manaphy Egg]] was distributed through [[Mystery Gift]] via the Internet from November 19, 2021 to February 21, 2022. This {{pkmn|Egg}} can hatch into {{p|Manaphy}}, which can be {{pkmn|breeding|bred}} with {{p|Ditto}} to produce {{p|Phione}}.
**[[Oak's Letter]] was distributed through [[Mystery Gift]] via the Internet from February 27, 2022 to March 27, 2022. If the player brings this item to {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}, they can gain access to [[Flower Paradise]], where {{p|Shaymin}} can be encountered.
**The [[Member Card]] was distributed through [[Mystery Gift]] via the Internet from April 1, 2022 to April 30, 2022. If the player brings this item to the inn in [[Canalave City]], they can gain access to [[Newmoon Island]], where {{p|Darkrai}} can be encountered.

====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
{{g|Legends: Arceus}} is compatible with 242 Pokémon. This includes all Pokémon that debuted in [[Generation IV]].

*240 Pokémon are obtainable in-game, and the remaining 2 Pokémon ({{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}) are exclusive to [[save data bonus]]es.
**In order to obtain {{p|Darkrai}}, the player must have save data from {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met and the main story of Legends: Arceus has been completed, the {{DL|Task|Requests|request}} "The Darksome Nightmare" will become available, in which a Darkrai can be caught.
**In order to obtain {{p|Shaymin}}, the player must have save data from {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword or Shield}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met and the main story of Legends: Arceus has been completed, the {{DL|Task|Requests|request}} "A Token of Gratitude" will become available, in which a Shaymin can be caught.

In total, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is compatible with 369 [[forms]], including all 17 new {{rf|Hisuian|Form}}s. All Hisuian forms replace their original forms, except in the case of {{p|Sneasel}}, where both forms are included. 242 forms make up unique species, with an additional 59 forms being the result of [[gender differences]]. In addition to this, there are a further 27 {{p|Unown}}, 5 {{p|Rotom}}, 2 {{p|Burmy}} and 2 {{p|Wormadam}} forms; and a further 6 forms accounted by West/East Sea {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, Alolan/Original {{p|Vulpix}} and {{p|Ninetales}}, Hisuian/Original {{p|Sneasel}}, and Overcast/Sunshine {{p|Cherrim}}. The remaining 26 forms, not yet counted, consist of 18 separate {{p|Arceus}} forms, as well as alternate forms for {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, {{p|Enamorus}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}} and {{p|Shaymin}}. Cherrim cannot appear in its Sunshine form when stored and Legend Plate Arceus appears as Blank Plate Arceus when stored. Legend Plate Arceus also does not count as a separate form entry in the Pokédex. Heights and weights for gender differences, except {{p|Basculegion}}, are not recorded separately in the Pokédex.

All forms can be obtained as [[alpha]] Pokémon except Alolan Vulpix, Alolan Ninetales, and those of the 18 in-game [[Legendary]] and [[Mythical]] Pokémon, totaling 46 forms excluded. All alpha Pokémon are the largest possible specimens for their species except {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Steelix}}, {{p|Rhyperior}} and Hisuian {{p|Avalugg}}. Only one Alolan Vulpix (or Alolan Ninetales), and only one of each of the in-game Legendary and Mythical Pokémon (except {{p|Phione}}) can be obtained (and only in their average size) without transferring.

All forms and their alpha equivalents can be {{Shiny}}; however, Alolan Vulpix, Alolan Ninetales, and the in-game Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are Shiny-locked and thus cannot be obtained Shiny without transferring them into the game. Shiny {{p|Enamorus}} is not currently legally obtainable as a result. Additionally, several {{OBP|List of in-game event Pokémon|Legends: Arceus|in-game event Pokémon}} are Shiny-locked, but can be captured in the wild Shiny.

Following the introduction of {{g|HOME}} compatibility, the ability to transfer alpha Pokémon to other [[Generation VIII]] games became available. A consequence of this is an alpha Pokémon can be evolved into a different [[regional form]] (or species) not compatible with Pokémon Legends: Arceus, giving rise to 9 HOME-exclusive alpha forms: the original forms of {{p|Typhlosion}}, {{p|Lilligant}}, {{p|Braviary}}, {{p|Sliggoo}}, {{p|Goodra}}, {{p|Avalugg}}, {{p|Decidueye}}; the Galarian form of {{p|Mr. Mime}}; and {{p|Mr. Rime}}. A 10th HOME-exclusive alpha form became available following the {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}-HOME compatibility update: the original form of {{p|Samurott}}; however, the alpha icon no longer displays for the HOME-exclusive alphas. Instead, an alpha mark is obtained if any alpha is transferred to Scarlet and Violet. All HOME-exclusive alpha forms except the Galarian form of {{p|Mr. Mime}} and {{p|Mr. Rime}} can be transferred and therefore obtain the alpha mark.

Before {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} received integration with [[Pokémon HOME]] in HOME v3.0.0, Pokémon originating from {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} or earlier that were then transferred into Legends: Arceus received minimum [[Size and weight variation|heights and weights]] (values of 0, as prior to {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} height and weight were not generated as distinct values); following the update, randomized heights and weights will be assigned to them instead, provided they haven't been assigned a size already by being transferred to another [[Generation VIII]] or {{gen|IX}} game.

===Generation IX===
In [[Generation IX]], there are 1025 Pokémon, but not all of them are obtainable.

====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
{{g|Scarlet and Violet}} are compatible with 733 Pokémon. Of these, 692 are available in-game, 5 are event-exclusive ({{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Zarude}}, and {{p|Pecharunt}}), and the remaining 36 are only obtainable by transferring from {{g|HOME}} or through limited-time Tera Raids or other events.

* At first, only 402 Pokémon were obtainable, consisting of the 400 Pokémon from the Paldea Pokédex as well as {{p|Quagsire}} and {{p|Perrserker}} from in-game events. Scarlet and Violet together have all 400 Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex.
* Ahead of {{g|HOME}} being made compatible with Scarlet and Violet, the {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Scorbunny}}, {{p|Froakie}}, {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Sobble}}, and {{p|Chespin}} lines became available in Black Crystal [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, raising the total to 426.
* Hisuian {{p|Zoroark}} was made available through pre-purchasing the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, starting February 27.
* {{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}} were added to the game's data in Patch 1.2.0 and became available in 7 Star Tera Raid Battles from February 27, to March 12, 2023, raising the total to 428.
* Upon {{g|HOME}} being made compatible with Scarlet and Violet, 50 more Pokémon (including the aforementioned event-exclusive ones) were transferred in, raising the total to 478.
* In version 2.0.1 of the games, with the release of [[The Teal Mask]], 95 additional Pokémon not present in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]] became available as part of the new [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]], and the [[Sinnoh]] [[Starter Pokémon|starters]], {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, and {{p|Shaymin}} were made available via Pokémon HOME, bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 587. Additionally, 3 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means ({{p|Carbink}}, {{p|Ursaluna}}, and {{p|Basculegion}}).
* In version 3.0.0 of the games, with the release of [[The Indigo Disk]], 124 additional Pokémon not present in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]] or [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]] became available as part of the new [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]], {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Solgaleo}}, {{p|Lunala}}, and {{p|Necrozma}} were added and made available through in-game events, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Keldeo}},{{p|Cosmog}}, and {{p|Cosmoem}} were made available via Pokémon HOME, bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 730. Additionally, 13 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means ({{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Glastrier}}, {{p|Spectrier}}, {{p|Kleavor}}, and {{p|Overqwil}}).
* Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are also compatible with 15 of the 18 {{rf|Alolan|Form}}s, 8 of the 19 {{rf|Galarian|Form}}s, and all 17 {{rf|Hisuian|Form}}s, as well as the 4 {{rf|Paldean|Form}}s.

Pokémon availability

2024-01-08T16:52:22Z

MatoroBro0107: /* Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! */

'''Pokémon availability''' refers to the various means of obtaining {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|games}}.

==Overview==
In all [[core series]] games, some Pokémon may be {{pkmn2|caught}} and others are available via [[evolution]]. There are various [[methods of evolution]], including by reaching a certain [[level]], using an [[evolution stone]], or when the Pokémon is [[trade]]d. Other methods to obtain Pokémon also exist, including [[breeding]], [[in-game trade]]s, receiving them as [[gift Pokémon]], and {{pkmn2|event}}s. Some Pokémon may not be available in a certain game, but may be [[trade]]d from another game, or [[transfer]]red from an earlier [[generation]].

From [[Generation I]] until [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], each core series game was compatible with all the Pokémon species released to date, either from the current game itself or from the available trades, transfers, and events. In [[Generation III]], although it was initially impossible to legitimately collect all existing Pokémon due to the lack of connection with previous generations, those missing Pokémon eventually became available with new games in the same generation. However, from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] onwards, each new core series game has a limited pool of available Pokémon.

===Starter Pokémon===
{{main|Starter Pokémon}}

The [[starter Pokémon]] is given to the player at the start of their [[Pokémon journey]]. In most core series {{pkmn|games}} (except in [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon Yellow]], [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!]]), the player can choose a {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Water}}-, or {{type|Grass}} starter Pokémon at [[level]] 5. At least one of the player's [[rival]]s will also always choose or have a starter Pokémon, which may either have a type advantage or disadvantage over the player's depending on the game.

===Wild Pokémon===
{{main|Wild Pokémon}}

The player is able to find and {{pkmn|battle}} several kinds of [[wild Pokémon]] in [[tall grass]], [[cave]]s, [[water]], etc. The wild Pokémon can be caught using a [[Poké Ball]].

===Version-exclusive Pokémon===
{{main|Version-exclusive Pokémon}}

Some Pokémon are only found in one or two games within a particular set, to encourage [[Trade|trading]] between players. For example, between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{p|Mawile}} appears only in Ruby, while {{p|Sableye}} appears only in Sapphire. Therefore, a player with Sapphire would not be able to obtain Mawile in-game and could trade with a player of Ruby to obtain one, and vice versa. Version-exclusive Pokémon usually complement each other in design, type, and location in the wild.

===Mutually exclusive Pokémon===
{{main|Mutually exclusive Pokémon}}

In some cases, there are multiple Pokémon potentially available in a single game, but the player must choose one of them or otherwise can't get them all in a single game. They include many trios of [[starter Pokémon]], some [[Fossil]] Pokémon and in some cases [[Legendary Pokémon]].

For instance, the player is able to choose between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} as their {{pkmn2|starter}} in {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red, Blue}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed and LeafGreen}}. The player may also choose one of these Pokémon as a gift given by [[Professor Oak]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, SoulSilver}}, by [[Professor Sycamore]] in {{g|X and Y}}, and by [[Grand Oak]] in {{g|HOME}}.

Several pairs of games have enough Pokémon to complete their [[regional Pokédex]], except for some event-exclusive Pokémon. However, some games still may need to be restarted at least once to acquire all starters or other mutually exclusive Pokémon.

===Permanently missable Pokémon===
{{main|Permanently missable Pokémon}}

Some Pokémon are permanently missable. For instance, prior to {{game|Platinum}}, if the player defeats a wild Pokémon that spawned from an in-game event (such as several [[Legendary Pokémon]] and other Pokémon visible in the overworld), that Pokémon becomes unavailable in the current game. In this case, no other Pokémon of the same species will appear in the current game.

===Unobtainable Shiny Pokémon===
{{main|List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon}}

In some cases, a Pokémon cannot be legitimately obtained as {{Shiny}}. This can happen if the Pokémon cannot be Shiny in the wild or as an in-game gift (or cannot be obtained this way at all) and has never been distributed as Shiny.

==Availability by generation==
:''See also: [[List of Pokémon by availability]]''

===Generation I===
In [[Generation I]], there are 151 Pokémon. 150 Pokémon are available in-game and 1 Pokémon is event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}).

{{p|Lickitung}}, {{p|Jynx}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, and {{p|Mr. Mime}} were originally exclusive to [[in-game trade]]s. For this reason, until the release of later games in which they could be obtained in the wild, they could only have their traded nicknames and the Original Trainer of "TRAINER".

In this generation, the [[Pokédex]] location map does not display the Pokémon available in the [[Cerulean Cave]]. For instance, the Pokédex map claims that the location of wild {{p|Rhydon}} is unknown in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, when in fact wild Rhydon is only found in the Cerulean Cave.

It is possible to trade Pokémon with the [[Generation II]] games via the [[Time Capsule]], which opens up {{pkmn|breeding}} as an option for obtaining Pokémon.

====Pokémon Red and Blue====
In Japan, the original pair of releases was {{game|Red and Green|s}}, which were followed by {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Pokémon Blue}}. International releases were called {{game|Red and Blue|s}} but followed the availability of the Japanese Red and Green. {{game|Red and Green|s}} together have all the available Pokémon in this generation.

====Pokémon Yellow====
In {{game|Yellow}}, there is {{ga|Red's Pikachu|a single Pikachu}} available as the [[starter Pokémon]]. This {{p|Pikachu}} cannot [[evolve]] in the game where it was caught. However, it can evolve normally if traded to another game, and conversely, a Pikachu from another game can evolve normally in Yellow. Due to this, {{p|Raichu}} is unavailable in Pokémon Yellow outside of trades.

===Generation II===
In [[Generation II]], there are 251 Pokémon.

* In the [[Game Boy Color]] release, 249 Pokémon are available in-game and 2 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}}).
* In the [[Virtual Console]] release, 250 Pokémon are available in-game (now including {{p|Celebi}}) and 1 is event-exclusive (Mew). Prior to {{game|Crystal}}'s Virtual Console release, Celebi was still event-exclusive.

It is possible to trade Pokémon between Generation I and II games via the [[Time Capsule]]. Those Pokémon and their evolutions (if any) are available in the [[Generation I]] games, but cannot be found in [[Generation II]] outside of trades: {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}.

====Pokémon Gold and Silver====
In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, almost all Generation II Pokémon are available without trades (except for trade evolutions) or events, other than {{p|Celebi}}.

====Pokémon Crystal====
In {{game|Crystal}}, most Generation I and II Pokémon are available except for some version-exclusive Pokémon.

In the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}} for Game Boy Color, the player is able to summon a wild {{p|Celebi}} if they have the [[GS Ball]] that was distributed via the [[Mobile System GB]], which was shut down in 2002. In this generation, Celebi was also {{gdis|List of European language event Pokémon distributions|II|distributed}} in other countries, by other means unrelated to the GS Ball. This changed in the Virtual Console release, where the GS Ball is found in-game (in all languages).

===Generation III===
In [[Generation III]], there are 386 Pokémon. 380 Pokémon are available in the [[core series]] games, and 6 Pokémon are available by other means ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, and {{p|Deoxys}}).

There is no way to [[transfer]] Pokémon from previous generations into Generation III. However, all Pokémon from previous generations are available in the Generation III games as well.

It is possible to trade Pokémon between the core series games and the [[Orre]]-based side series games for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] ([[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{XD}}). However, completing the [[National Pokédex]] in the core series does not require the Orre games. Almost all Pokémon found in the Orre games are also obtainable without events in the core series. Ho-Oh and Lugia are the only two exceptions, which can be obtained in the core series via the [[MysticTicket]] event or traded from the Orre games, but those two Pokémon are not required for the National Pokédex in this generation.

{{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} are special cases in that, not counting Colosseum or XD, they require a trade to be obtained, but do not evolve by trading. The [[Time|real-time clock]] required for the evolution is present only in Hoenn-based games, but Eevee cannot be obtained in these games without trading it from other games.

The form of {{p|Deoxys}} depends on which game it is in: it is in Normal Forme in Ruby, Sapphire, Colosseum, and XD, Attack Forme in FireRed, Defense Forme in LeafGreen, and Speed Forme in Emerald. Its form cannot be changed without trading.

{{p|Unown}}'s ? and ! forms were originally introduced in the data of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, but they were not originally found anywhere at the time of release of these games and {{pkmn|Colosseum}}. Those forms were later made available in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, a planned [[Mystery Gift]] event would allow some [[Generation II]] Pokémon to appear in the [[Altering Cave]] ({{p|Mareep}}, {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Pineco}}, {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Stantler}}, and {{p|Smeargle}}), but this event was never released. Some of these Pokémon can be found in Colosseum or XD, and they all became available elsewhere in Emerald as well.

The [[Nintendo DS]] is backwards-compatible with the [[Game Boy Advance]] games, except without any multiplayer features. Therefore, when a player uses a Nintendo DS to play the Generation III games, they are not able to trade Pokémon or connect with the GameCube.

====Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald====
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the first 200 Pokémon from the {{gdis|List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|III|Generation III Hoenn Pokédex}} are available in-game (not counting the event-exclusive {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}). Other than trades or events, there are no available Pokémon outside the Hoenn Pokédex.

In {{game|Emerald}}, most Pokémon from Ruby and Sapphire are available as well (except some [[version-exclusive Pokémon]]). After the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained, there are also 33 [[Generation II]] Pokémon (almost all found in the {{ho|Safari Zone}}). Those Generation II Pokémon are not otherwise obtainable in the core series games, although some of them can be traded from the Orre-based side series games.

In the case of the [[Johto]] [[starter Pokémon]], the player can receive one of their choice in Emerald after obtaining all non-event Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex. Wild {{p|Surskit}} can only appear in Emerald in a [[mass outbreak]] after [[record mixing]] with Ruby or Sapphire.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there are 195 Pokémon available in-game. This includes the first 150 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Generation III Kanto Pokédex]] (not counting the event-exclusive {{p|Mew}}). The other Pokémon become available after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained: 43 [[Generation II]] Pokémon (almost all found in the [[Sevii Islands]]), and 2 [[Generation III]] Pokémon ({{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Wynaut}}).

The {{p|Mew}} found on the [[Faraway Island]] can only be accessed with the [[Old Sea Map]], an event-exclusive item which {{DL|List of other event distributions in Generation III|Old Sea Map|was only legitimately distributed in Japan and Taiwan}}. However, Mew {{gdis|List of English event Pokémon distributions|III|was also distributed in some other events elsewhere}} unrelated to the Old Sea Map and the Faraway Island.

====Pokémon Channel, Colosseum, and XD: Gale of Darkness====
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], there are 60 obtainable Pokémon outside of trades: 2 [[starter Pokémon]] ({{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}), [[List of Shadow Pokémon|51 Shadow Pokémon]], 6 evolutions of Shadow Pokémon, and the {{p|Ho-Oh}} from [[Mt. Battle]]. However, the 3 Shadow Pokémon found in the [[Card e Room]] ({{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Mareep}}, and {{p|Scizor}}) are exclusive to the Japanese version, bringing down the total to 57 obtainable Pokémon in the international versions.

In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there are 130 obtainable Pokémon outside of trades: the single [[starter Pokémon]] ({{p|Eevee}}), 1 [[Eeveelution]] (out of 5 [[Mutually exclusive Pokémon#Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|mutually exclusive]] options), [[List of Shadow Pokémon|83 Shadow Pokémon]], 36 evolutions of Shadow Pokémon, the 3 [[Johto]] [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Mt. Battle]], and the 6 evolutions of Johto starter Pokémon.

{{p|Ho-Oh}} can be obtained from [[Mt. Battle]] in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{p|Lugia}} can be caught in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}. Jirachi can be obtained from {{g|Channel}} in Europe or from the [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]] in America, while Celebi can be obtained from the Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc in Japan.

===Generation IV===
In [[Generation IV]], there are 493 Pokémon.

In the core series, 484 Pokémon are available in-game and 9 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}). Prior to the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} were also event-exclusive. Additionally, a {{p|Manaphy}} {{pkmn|Egg}} may be transferred from any of the three [[Pokémon Ranger series]] games, and {{p|Phione}} may be bred from Manaphy.

Pokémon from the Generation III games may be [[transfer]]red to Generation IV via the [[Pal Park]].

Aside from {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regigigas}}, all non-event Pokémon from Generations I–IV are available in the Generation IV games and don't require the Pal Park. A Regigigas may be caught in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum if the player already has Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. Conversely, Regirock, Regice, and Registeel may be caught in Platinum if the player already has a [[fateful encounter]] Regigigas. The only way to obtain these Pokémon without events is to transfer the trio of [[Legendary giants]] from the Generation III games via the Pal Park and use them to obtain Regigigas.

====Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum====
{{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} together have all the Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] (which has 150 Pokémon in these games), aside from the event-exclusive {{p|Manaphy}}. {{game|Platinum}} is missing some Pokémon from the Sinnoh Pokédex (which has 210 Pokémon in this game) that can be found in either Diamond or Pearl.

{{p|Spiritomb}} may be caught in the [[Hallowed Tower]] in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, but only after the player speaks with other players in the [[Underground]] at least 32 times. They need to be connected via the wireless features of the Nintendo DS. In this generation, the [[Pokéwalker]] is the only other place where Spiritomb is available.

The [[dual-slot mode]] causes some additional wild Pokémon to appear in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum if a [[Game Boy Advance]] cartridge is inserted in the [[Nintendo DS]] system. This is not possible on the [[Nintendo DSi]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] systems, which lack a GBA slot. However, all Pokémon available from the dual-slot mode are also available (without the dual-slot mode) in HeartGold or SoulSilver.

Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}}, Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}}, and all appliance forms of {{p|Rotom}} were introduced in Platinum and are also compatible with HeartGold and SoulSilver, but they are incompatible with Diamond and Pearl.

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
{{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} together have all the Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Generation IV Johto Pokédex]] (which has 256 Pokémon in this generation), except for the event-exclusive {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}. Alternatively, most Pokémon from the Johto Pokédex can be transferred from the Generation III games, except {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}} used to be event-exclusive in Generation III, and there are 5 new evolutions introduced to the Johto Pokédex in Generation IV.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, there is no [[special magnetic field]], [[Moss Rock]], or [[Ice Rock]]. For this reason, {{p|Magnezone}}, {{p|Probopass}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}} cannot be obtained via [[evolution]]. Those evolved Pokémon are unavailable except by trading from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

[[Spiky-eared Pichu]] is event-exclusive. The {{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu}} was a {{Shiny}} Pichu distributed via events in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, but if it is traded with HeartGold or SoulSilver and taken to [[Ilex Forest]], then the player will obtain Spiky-eared Pichu. This can still occur even if Pikachu-colored Pichu evolves. The Spiky-eared Pichu is only available in HeartGold and SoulSilver and is unable to be traded or transferred to any other games. Only one Spiky-eared Pichu is available per game in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

[[List of Pokémon found through the Pokéwalker|Some Pokémon can be found]] through the [[Pokéwalker]], a pedometer device that was shipped with and is able to communicate with HeartGold and SoulSilver. Some Pokémon obtained from the Pokéwalker cannot be found normally in HeartGold and SoulSilver (such as {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Feebas}}, and {{p|Wailmer}}). However, all Pokémon from the Pokéwalker may be normally found in multiple Generation IV games (the ones unavailable from HeartGold and SoulSilver may be found in Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum), so the Pokéwalker is not required to find any Pokémon in this generation.

{{p|Rayquaza}} can be caught in the [[Embedded Tower]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver, but only after the player trades with the opposite version to obtain a {{p|Kyogre}} or {{p|Groudon}}.

===Generation V===
In [[Generation V]], there are 649 Pokémon.

In the core series, 636 Pokémon are available in-game and 13 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, and {{p|Genesect}}). Prior to the release of {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} were also event-exclusive.

Pokémon from Generation IV may be [[transfer]]red to Generation V via [[Poké Transfer]] (including any Pokémon previously transferred from Generation III). Some Pokémon were also available from the now-defunct [[Dream World]].

All non-event Pokémon that cannot be obtained in Generation V without Poké Transfer may be found in Generation IV (since Generation IV includes almost all of the non-event Pokémon from the previous generations). Some Pokémon available in the Dream World are not available anywhere else in Generation V (such as {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Diglett}}), but may be transferred from Generation IV as well.

====Pokémon Black and White====
{{game|Black and White|s}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the first version of the Unova Pokédex (which has a total of {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Black and White|156 Pokémon}}).

{{p|Landorus}} can be caught at the [[Abundant Shrine]] in both Black and White after the player trades with the opposite version to obtain {{p|Tornadus}} or {{p|Thundurus}}.

In Black and White, the [[Relocator]] may be used to transfer certain event Pokémon from the Generation IV games for the purpose of catching {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}. Zorua becomes available if the player transfers {{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Celebi}}, and Zoroark becomes available if the player transfers the {{Shiny}} [[Legendary beasts]] ({{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Raikou, Entei, and Suicune}}).

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
{{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the second version of the Unova Pokédex (which was expanded to a total of {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Black 2 and White 2|301 Pokémon}}).

{{p|Kyurem|White Kyurem, Black Kyurem}}, the Therian Forms of the [[Forces of Nature]] (Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus), and Resolute Form {{p|Keldeo}} were introduced in Black 2 and White 2, and are incompatible with Black and White. Additionally, all of these forms except for Keldeo's cannot be traded at all; due to this and the way that the [[DNA Splicers]] work, it is impossible to own both White Kyurem and Black Kyurem at the same time, and it is also impossible to own more than one Black Kyurem or more than one White Kyurem at once.

In Black 2 and White 2, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} can be caught in the [[Underground Ruins]]. However, Regice only appears in Black 2 if the player receives the Iceberg [[Key System|Key]] from White 2 via [[Unova Link]], while Registeel only appears in White 2 if the player receives the Iron Key from Black 2 via Unova Link. {{p|Regigigas}} can then be caught in [[Twist Mountain]] only if the player has Regirock, Regice and Registeel, so Regigigas also requires trading or using Unova Link to obtain without using Poké Transfer.

{{p|Stunky}} and {{p|Glameow}} are available via a special [[Funfest Mission]] that can only be hosted in Black 2 or White 2, respectively. However, the opposite version can still obtain the other Pokémon by joining the Funfest Mission.

Certain Pokémon that can be caught in Black 2 and White 2 are found only in the [[Nature Preserve]], which is only accessible by seeing all non-event Pokémon in the New Unova Pokédex (most notably, {{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Gyarados}}, otherwise available only by purchasing a Magikarp from the [[Magikarp salesman]], are available to catch at the Nature Preserve). Accessing the Nature Preserve requires trading, as it is impossible to see all stages of whichever starter was not picked by the player nor by [[Hugh]], as well as some of the version-exclusive Pokémon not being used by any NPC Trainers.

===Generation VI===
In [[Generation VI]], there are 721 Pokémon.

In the core series, 706 Pokémon are available in-game and 15 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, and {{p|Volcanion}}). Prior to the release of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, {{p|Deoxys}} was also event-exclusive.

Pokémon from Generation V can be [[transfer]]red one-way to the {{g|Bank}} via the [[Poké Transporter]] (including any Pokémon previously transferred from Generations III and IV). Once in Pokémon Bank, these Pokémon can be withdrawn to the Generation VI games. However, Pokémon that have been in a Generation VII game and or that were sent from the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] games cannot be withdrawn to Generation VI.

All non-event Pokémon from Generations I–VI may be found in Generation VI without requiring use of Pokémon Bank. However, in the Generation VI games, {{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} may only be found in their Spring Form. Other forms can only be obtained by transferring them from the Generation V games.

====Pokémon X and Y====
{{g|X and Y}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the three [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos Pokédexes]] (which have a total of 457 Pokémon; most are from previous generations, though all Generation VI Pokémon are found in the Kalos Pokédexes).

In Pokémon X and Y, several Pokémon are available from the [[Friend Safari]], which contains various areas that are unlocked based on the friends registered on the player's [[Nintendo 3DS]]. However, all Pokémon found in the Friend Safari are also available elsewhere in X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire.

====Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire====
{{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the {{gdis|List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|VI|Generation VI Hoenn Pokédex}} (which has 211 Pokémon; all of them are from previous generations) and several other Pokémon as well.

Some [[Mega Evolution]]s, [[Primal Reversion]], the [[Cosplay Pikachu]], and {{p|Hoopa}} {{form|Hoopa|Unbound}} were introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and are incompatible with Pokémon X and Y. Only one Cosplay Pikachu is available per game; it is unable to evolve, and it cannot be traded or transferred to any other games.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, several Pokémon can be found in the [[Mirage spot]]s, which may appear and disappear and are accessible by [[soaring in the sky]]. Some Mirage spots contain a [[Legendary Pokémon]] from a previous generation, and appear if the player meets a certain condition (such as having certain Pokémon in their [[party]], or having any [[level]] 100 Pokémon in their party). There are also 32 daily Mirage spots that contain multiple non-Legendary Pokémon. Only one daily Mirage spot appears on each day, unless the player receives additional Mirage spots via [[StreetPass]].

====Friend Safari and Mirage spots====
In the Generation VI games, the Pokémon below (and their evolutionary families, via evolution or breeding) can only be found in the [[Friend Safari]]{{sup/6|XY}} and in the random daily Mirage spots{{sup/6|ORAS}}. They may or may not be available at a certain point in time, until the player waits for the correct day, receives the correct Mirage spot via StreetPass, or unlocks the correct area in the Friend Safari.

Available in both the Friend Safari and the daily Mirage spots:

* {{p|Venomoth}}
* {{p|Chansey}} (Friend Safari), {{p|Happiny}} (Mirage spots)
* {{p|Tangela}}
* {{p|Electabuzz}} (Friend Safari), {{p|Elekid}} (Mirage spots)
* {{p|Magmar}} (Friend Safari), {{p|Magby}} (Mirage spots)
* {{p|Sunkern}}
* {{p|Forretress}}
* {{p|Munna}}
* {{p|Zebstrika}}
* {{p|Excadrill}}
* {{p|Petilil}}
* {{p|Maractus}}
* {{p|Minccino}}
* {{p|Klink}} (Mirage spots), {{p|Klang}} (Friend Safari)
* {{p|Vullaby}}
* {{p|Larvesta}}

Available in the daily Mirage spots but not in the Friend Safari:

* {{p|Persian}}
* {{p|Porygon}}
* {{p|Unown}}
* {{p|Stantler}}
* {{p|Kricketune}}
* {{p|Cherrim}}
* {{p|Glameow}}, {{p|Purugly}}
* {{p|Darmanitan}}
* {{p|Cofagrigus}}
* {{p|Tynamo}}

===Generation VII===
In [[Generation VII]], there are 809 Pokémon. Prior to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], there were 807 Pokémon. Prior to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, there were 802 Pokémon. There are also 18 [[Alolan form]]s available in all games of this generation.

====Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon====
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, 786 Pokémon are available in-game and 16 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, and {{p|Marshadow}}).

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, some new Pokémon species and forms were introduced which are incompatible with Sun and Moon. 790 Pokémon are available in-game (the same as in Sun and Moon, with the additions of {{p|Poipole}}, {{p|Naganadel}}, {{p|Stakataka}}, and {{p|Blacephalon}}) and 17 Pokémon are event-exclusive (the same as in Sun and Moon, with the addition of {{p|Zeraora}}). The {{form|Necrozma|Dusk Mane, Dawn Wings, and Ultra forms}} of {{p|Necrozma}}, as well as the event-only {{DL|Pikachu in a cap|Partner Cap Pikachu}} and {{form|Lycanroc|Dusk Form}} {{p|Lycanroc}} were introduced in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon as well.

{{p|Celebi}} used to be event-exclusive as well in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon prior to the [[Virtual Console]] release of {{game|Crystal}}.

Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon are compatible with the [[Pokémon Bank]]. This allows the one-way transfer of Pokémon from earlier generations into these games (since the [[Generation VI]] games are also compatible with the Pokémon Bank, while the [[Generation V]] games and the [[Virtual Console]] version of [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games can use the [[Poké Transporter]]).

Sun and Moon together, as well as Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon together, have all the non-event Pokémon from the Alola Pokédex (which has {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Sun and Moon|302 Pokémon}} in the first pair of games and was expanded to {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|403 Pokémon}} in the second pair of games). Some Pokémon outside the Alola Pokédex are also available in-game, but several other Pokémon from previous generations cannot be found in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, except by being transferred from earlier generations.

The Spring Form of {{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} can be transferred from Generation VI games while the other forms of both Pokémon can be transferred from Generation V games.

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the first 150 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] are available in-game (including their Alolan forms), and 3 additional Pokémon are available by other means: {{p|Mew}} by getting it from the [[Poké Ball Plus]] and {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}} by transferring them from {{g|GO}} via the [[GO Park]]. This pair of games is incompatible with all other Pokémon, and are the first core-series games to do so, which became the norm following later releases.

The {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and partner {{p|Eevee}} are exclusive to Let's Go, Pikachu! and Eevee!, respectively. Each game has only one partner Pikachu or Eevee; it cannot [[evolve]], and it cannot be traded or transferred to other games. However, regular Pikachu and Eevee are available in both games.

The games are incompatible with Pokémon Bank, but were later supported by Pokémon HOME.

===Generation VIII===
In [[Generation VIII]], there are 905 Pokémon. When {{g|Sword and Shield}} were initially released, there were 890 Pokémon; 3 more debuted in [[The Isle of Armor]] (including the event-exclusive {{p|Zarude}}), 5 more debuted in [[The Crown Tundra]], and the remaining 7 debuted in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

No games in this generation feature every Pokémon. {{g|HOME}}, an application for storing and transferring Pokémon, is compatible with all 905 Pokémon; however, the games themselves are incompatible with certain Pokémon. These incompatible Pokémon cannot be obtained in the games in any way, including via transfer.

Pokémon in {{g|Bank}}, including those [[transfer]]red from previous generations, can be transferred to Pokémon HOME. Pokémon from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] can also be deposited into Pokémon HOME, and since November 10, 2020, it has been possible for Pokémon from {{g|GO}} to be transferred into Pokémon HOME via the [[GO Transporter]]. Additionally, some Pokémon have been directly {{gdis|List of game-based Pokémon distributions|VIII|distributed}} in Pokémon HOME, either as events or rewards for certain actions; most notably, the {{form|Magearna|Original Color}} {{p|Magearna}} is obtainable in HOME as a reward for completion of the [[National Pokédex]], which is the only way to obtain it, though it can only be obtained with events due to the fact that some of the Pokémon in the National Pokédex are event-exclusive.

Once in HOME, if a Pokémon is compatible with a Generation VIII game, it can be moved to that game. Additionally, Pokémon can be moved from Generation VIII games into HOME, allowing them to be exchanged between all of the generation's games. However, if a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] (besides {{p|Meltan}} or {{p|Melmetal}}) is transferred to HOME from Pokémon GO, then it cannot be deposited into a game unless the player has already obtained one of its species in that game. {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and {{g|Legends: Arceus}} were not compatible with Pokémon HOME until the Version 2.0.0 update, released on May 18, 2022.

====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
{{g|Sword and Shield}} are compatible with 664 Pokémon. Of these, 656 are available in-game and 8 are event-exclusive ({{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, {{p|Zeraora}}, and {{p|Zarude}}). Prior to the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], {{p|Keldeo}} was also event-exclusive; prior to {{g|HOME}} becoming compatible with {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Jirachi}} were also event-exclusive.

* At first, only 401 Pokémon were obtainable, consisting of the 400 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] and {{p|Mew}} from the [[Poké Ball Plus]]. Sword and Shield together have all 400 Pokémon in the Galar Pokédex.
* In version 1.1.0 of the games, [[Galarian form|Galarian]] {{p|Slowpoke}} was added and made available to catch at [[Wedgehurst Station]], increasing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 402.
* Ahead of the release of {{g|HOME}}, 6 additional Pokémon (the {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}} lines) were made available in event Max Raid Battles, raising the total to 408.
* Upon the release of {{g|HOME}}, 34 additional Pokémon were made available via transfer from previous generations (including the event-exclusive {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, and {{p|Zeraora}}), bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 436.
* In version 1.2.0 of the games, with the release of [[The Isle of Armor]], 103 additional Pokémon (including the event-exclusive {{p|Zarude}}) not present in the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] became available as part of a new [[List of Pokémon by Isle of Armor Pokédex number|Isle of Armor Pokédex]], and {{p|Magearna}} was made available via Pokémon HOME (albeit as an event-exclusive Pokémon), bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 540. Additionally, 15 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means. With The Isle of Armor, Sword and Shield together have all 211 Pokémon from the Isle of Armor Pokédex except for the event-exclusive Zarude, and also have {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}}, {{p|Popplio}}, and their evolutionary families.
* In version 1.3.0 of the games, with the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], 124 additional Pokémon (including the event-exclusive {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, and {{p|Volcanion}}) present in neither the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] nor the [[List of Pokémon by Isle of Armor Pokédex number|Isle of Armor Pokédex]] became obtainable, bringing the total to 664. Of these newly available Pokémon, 71 became available as part of a new [[List of Pokémon by Crown Tundra Pokédex number|Crown Tundra Pokédex]]. Additionally, 13 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means (including {{p|Keldeo}}, thus making it no longer event-exclusive). With The Crown Tundra, Sword and Shield together have all 210 Pokémon in the Crown Tundra Pokédex, as well as 59 others.

In total, Pokémon Sword and Shield together, including the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}, have 651 Pokémon, consisting of all of the Pokémon in the Galar, Isle of Armor, and Crown Tundra Pokédexes, besides the event-exclusive Zarude, and 68 others not in any of the three Pokédexes. The games are also compatible with 13 additional Pokémon (all of which are [[Mythical Pokémon]]) that are only obtainable via events or transferring them from other games: {{p|Mew}} (which is also available via the Poké Ball Plus), {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, {{p|Zeraora}}, {{p|Meltan}}, {{p|Melmetal}}, and {{p|Zarude}} (which is the only one of the 13 not obtainable via transfer from a previous generation). None of these are in any of the three Pokédexes in the games except Zarude, which is in the Isle of Armor Pokédex.

Pokémon Sword and Shield are also compatible with [[Galarian form|Galarian]] and [[Alolan form]]s. They feature all 19 Galarian forms, but due to some Pokémon with Alolan forms not being featured in the games, only 11 out of the 18 Alolan forms are present. All Alolan forms (that exist in the games) and original forms of Pokémon with Galarian forms are obtainable without requiring transfer from previous generations, though most require the Expansion Pass to obtain in this way.

* At first, 13 Galarian forms and no Alolan forms were available. Additionally, the original forms of {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Yamask}}, and {{p|Mr. Mime}} are obtainable via [[in-game trade]]s.
* {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}} was added and made available to catch at [[Wedgehurst Station]] in the version 1.1.0 update. However, it was initially unable to evolve.
* Upon the release of {{g|HOME}}, the Alolan forms of {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Dugtrio}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and {{p|Persian}} became available via [[transfer]] from previous games. Additionally, the original forms of all Pokémon with Galarian forms became available via transfer as well, with the exception of Slowpoke, which was unable to be transferred.
* With the release of [[The Isle of Armor]], due to the additions of {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, and {{p|Marowak}}, the Alolan forms of each have become available via transfer. Additionally, Slowpoke's original form was made available to transfer, as well as the rest of the Slowpoke line, and Galarian Slowpoke was made available to catch outside of Wedgehurst Station. Galarian {{p|Slowbro}} was also added, with Galarian Slowpoke now being able to evolve into it.
** The Isle of Armor also introduces an NPC named Regina, who appears in random locations on the [[Isle of Armor]] and will trade Alolan forms to the player in exchange for their original forms, or will trade the original forms of Pokémon in exchange for their Galarian forms. After she has been traded with, she will relocate to another position on the island and be available for another trade; it is possible for her to repeat the same trade an indefinite number of times. From Regina, the original forms of {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Ponyta}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Weezing}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Corsola}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Darumaka}}, and {{p|Stunfisk}} and the Alolan forms of {{p|Exeggutor}} and {{p|Marowak}} can be obtained without requiring transfer (as can the original forms of {{p|Rapidash}}, {{p|Linoone}}, and {{p|Darmanitan}} via evolution). However, trades for Farfetch'd and Darumaka are exclusive to Pokémon Sword, while trades for Ponyta and Corsola are exclusive to Pokémon Shield.
** The Isle of Armor also features a {{DL|Fields of Honor|Diglett Trainer}} who owns 151 Alolan Diglett that are scattered throughout the island. The player is tasked with finding these Diglett, and the Trainer will reward them with Pokémon, most of which are Alolan forms, when they reach certain milestones. From this Diglett Trainer, the following forms of Pokémon are obtainable without requiring transfer: Alolan {{p|Meowth}} (after finding 5 Diglett), regular {{p|Slowpoke}} (after finding 10 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Vulpix}} (after finding 20 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Sandshrew}} (after finding 30 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Raichu}} (after finding 40 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Marowak}} (after finding 50 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}} (after finding 75 Diglett), and Alolan {{p|Diglett}} (after finding all 151 Diglett). By evolving these Pokémon, the Alolan forms of {{p|Persian}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Sandslash}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} and the original forms of {{p|Slowbro}} and {{p|Slowking}} are also obtainable.
* With the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], the Galarian forms of {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} became available, as did their original forms via transfer. However, it is also possible to obtain the original forms of Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres without having to transfer them, as they are among the available [[Legendary Pokémon]] in [[Dynamax Adventure]]s. Galarian {{p|Slowking}} was also added, with Galarian Slowpoke now being able to evolve into it.

====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
{{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} are compatible with 493 Pokémon, consisting of every Pokémon from the first four [[generation]]s, as in the original {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.

*491 Pokémon are obtainable in-game; of them, 1 ({{p|Arceus}}) is only obtainable via [[save data bonus]]es or [[transfer]], 4 ({{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, and {{p|Shaymin}}) are only obtainable via transfer or events, and 2 ({{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}) are only obtainable via transfer. The remaining 2 Pokémon ({{p|Mew}} and {{p|Jirachi}}) are obtainable via save data bonuses.
**In order to obtain {{p|Mew}}, the player must have save data from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!]] on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met, a {{tc|Gentleman}} in [[Floaroma Town]] will {{pkmn2|gift}} the player a Mew when spoken to.
**In order to obtain {{p|Jirachi}}, the player must have save data from {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword or Shield}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met, a {{tc|Madame}} in [[Floaroma Town]] will gift the player a Jirachi when spoken to.
**In order to obtain {{p|Arceus}} without transfer, the player must have save data from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system, and they must have completed all of said game's 27 story [[Task|missions]] within this save data. If this requirement is met and the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]] and obtained the [[National Pokédex]], they can obtain the [[Azure Flute]] in their [[Player's house|house]] in [[Twinleaf Town]], which can then be used at [[Spear Pillar]] to access the [[Hall of Origin]] and {{pkmn|battle}} and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Arceus. This is only possible in Version 1.3.0 or later.
**A [[Manaphy Egg]] was distributed through [[Mystery Gift]] via the Internet from November 19, 2021 to February 21, 2022. This {{pkmn|Egg}} can hatch into {{p|Manaphy}}, which can be {{pkmn|breeding|bred}} with {{p|Ditto}} to produce {{p|Phione}}.
**[[Oak's Letter]] was distributed through [[Mystery Gift]] via the Internet from February 27, 2022 to March 27, 2022. If the player brings this item to {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}, they can gain access to [[Flower Paradise]], where {{p|Shaymin}} can be encountered.
**The [[Member Card]] was distributed through [[Mystery Gift]] via the Internet from April 1, 2022 to April 30, 2022. If the player brings this item to the inn in [[Canalave City]], they can gain access to [[Newmoon Island]], where {{p|Darkrai}} can be encountered.

====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
{{g|Legends: Arceus}} is compatible with 242 Pokémon. This includes all Pokémon that debuted in [[Generation IV]].

*240 Pokémon are obtainable in-game, and the remaining 2 Pokémon ({{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}) are exclusive to [[save data bonus]]es.
**In order to obtain {{p|Darkrai}}, the player must have save data from {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met and the main story of Legends: Arceus has been completed, the {{DL|Task|Requests|request}} "The Darksome Nightmare" will become available, in which a Darkrai can be caught.
**In order to obtain {{p|Shaymin}}, the player must have save data from {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword or Shield}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met and the main story of Legends: Arceus has been completed, the {{DL|Task|Requests|request}} "A Token of Gratitude" will become available, in which a Shaymin can be caught.

In total, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is compatible with 369 [[forms]], including all 17 new {{rf|Hisuian|Form}}s. All Hisuian forms replace their original forms, except in the case of {{p|Sneasel}}, where both forms are included. 242 forms make up unique species, with an additional 59 forms being the result of [[gender differences]]. In addition to this, there are a further 27 {{p|Unown}}, 5 {{p|Rotom}}, 2 {{p|Burmy}} and 2 {{p|Wormadam}} forms; and a further 6 forms accounted by West/East Sea {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, Alolan/Original {{p|Vulpix}} and {{p|Ninetales}}, Hisuian/Original {{p|Sneasel}}, and Overcast/Sunshine {{p|Cherrim}}. The remaining 26 forms, not yet counted, consist of 18 separate {{p|Arceus}} forms, as well as alternate forms for {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, {{p|Enamorus}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}} and {{p|Shaymin}}. Cherrim cannot appear in its Sunshine form when stored and Legend Plate Arceus appears as Blank Plate Arceus when stored. Legend Plate Arceus also does not count as a separate form entry in the Pokédex. Heights and weights for gender differences, except {{p|Basculegion}}, are not recorded separately in the Pokédex.

All forms can be obtained as [[alpha]] Pokémon except Alolan Vulpix, Alolan Ninetales, and those of the 18 in-game [[Legendary]] and [[Mythical]] Pokémon, totaling 46 forms excluded. All alpha Pokémon are the largest possible specimens for their species except {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Steelix}}, {{p|Rhyperior}} and Hisuian {{p|Avalugg}}. Only one Alolan Vulpix (or Alolan Ninetales), and only one of each of the in-game Legendary and Mythical Pokémon (except {{p|Phione}}) can be obtained (and only in their average size) without transferring.

All forms and their alpha equivalents can be {{Shiny}}; however, Alolan Vulpix, Alolan Ninetales, and the in-game Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are Shiny-locked and thus cannot be obtained Shiny without transferring them into the game. Shiny {{p|Enamorus}} is not currently legally obtainable as a result. Additionally, several {{OBP|List of in-game event Pokémon|Legends: Arceus|in-game event Pokémon}} are Shiny-locked, but can be captured in the wild Shiny.

Following the introduction of {{g|HOME}} compatibility, the ability to transfer alpha Pokémon to other [[Generation VIII]] games became available. A consequence of this is an alpha Pokémon can be evolved into a different [[regional form]] (or species) not compatible with Pokémon Legends: Arceus, giving rise to 9 HOME-exclusive alpha forms: the original forms of {{p|Typhlosion}}, {{p|Lilligant}}, {{p|Braviary}}, {{p|Sliggoo}}, {{p|Goodra}}, {{p|Avalugg}}, {{p|Decidueye}}; the Galarian form of {{p|Mr. Mime}}; and {{p|Mr. Rime}}. A 10th HOME-exclusive alpha form became available following the {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}-HOME compatibility update: the original form of {{p|Samurott}}; however, the alpha icon no longer displays for the HOME-exclusive alphas. Instead, an alpha mark is obtained if any alpha is transferred to Scarlet and Violet. All HOME-exclusive alpha forms except the Galarian form of {{p|Mr. Mime}} and {{p|Mr. Rime}} can be transferred and therefore obtain the alpha mark.

Before {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} received integration with [[Pokémon HOME]] in HOME v3.0.0, Pokémon originating from {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} or earlier that were then transferred into Legends: Arceus received minimum [[Size and weight variation|heights and weights]] (values of 0, as prior to {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} height and weight were not generated as distinct values); following the update, randomized heights and weights will be assigned to them instead, provided they haven't been assigned a size already by being transferred to another [[Generation VIII]] or {{gen|IX}} game.

===Generation IX===
In [[Generation IX]], there are 1017 Pokémon, but not all of them are obtainable.

====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
{{g|Scarlet and Violet}} are compatible with 733 Pokémon. Of these, 692 are available in-game, 5 are event-exclusive ({{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Zarude}}, and {{p|Pecharunt}}), and the remaining 36 are only obtainable by transferring from {{g|HOME}} or through limited-time Tera Raids or other events.

* At first, only 402 Pokémon were obtainable, consisting of the 400 Pokémon from the Paldea Pokédex as well as {{p|Quagsire}} and {{p|Perrserker}} from in-game events. Scarlet and Violet together have all 400 Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex.
* Ahead of {{g|HOME}} being made compatible with Scarlet and Violet, the {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Scorbunny}}, {{p|Froakie}}, {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Sobble}}, and {{p|Chespin}} lines became available in Black Crystal [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, raising the total to 426.
* Hisuian {{p|Zoroark}} was made available through pre-purchasing the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, starting February 27.
* {{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}} were added to the game's data in Patch 1.2.0 and became available in 7 Star Tera Raid Battles from February 27, to March 12, 2023, raising the total to 428.
* Upon {{g|HOME}} being made compatible with Scarlet and Violet, 50 more Pokémon (including the aforementioned event-exclusive ones) were transferred in, raising the total to 478.
* In version 2.0.1 of the games, with the release of [[The Teal Mask]], 95 additional Pokémon not present in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]] became available as part of the new [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]], and the [[Sinnoh]] [[Starter Pokémon|starters]], {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, and {{p|Shaymin}} were made available via Pokémon HOME, bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 587. Additionally, 3 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means ({{p|Carbink}}, {{p|Ursaluna}}, and {{p|Basculegion}}).
* In version 3.0.0 of the games, with the release of [[The Indigo Disk]], 124 additional Pokémon not present in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]] or [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]] became available as part of the new [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]], {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Solgaleo}}, {{p|Lunala}}, and {{p|Necrozma}} were added and made available through in-game events, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Keldeo}},{{p|Cosmog}}, and {{p|Cosmoem}} were made available via Pokémon HOME, bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 730. Additionally, 13 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means ({{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Glastrier}}, {{p|Spectrier}}, {{p|Kleavor}}, and {{p|Overqwil}}).
* Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are also compatible with 15 of the 18 {{rf|Alolan|Form}}s, 8 of the 19 {{rf|Galarian|Form}}s, and all 17 {{rf|Hisuian|Form}}s, as well as the 4 {{rf|Paldean|Form}}s.

Pokémon availability

2024-01-08T16:51:52Z

MatoroBro0107: /* Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! */

'''Pokémon availability''' refers to the various means of obtaining {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|games}}.

==Overview==
In all [[core series]] games, some Pokémon may be {{pkmn2|caught}} and others are available via [[evolution]]. There are various [[methods of evolution]], including by reaching a certain [[level]], using an [[evolution stone]], or when the Pokémon is [[trade]]d. Other methods to obtain Pokémon also exist, including [[breeding]], [[in-game trade]]s, receiving them as [[gift Pokémon]], and {{pkmn2|event}}s. Some Pokémon may not be available in a certain game, but may be [[trade]]d from another game, or [[transfer]]red from an earlier [[generation]].

From [[Generation I]] until [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], each core series game was compatible with all the Pokémon species released to date, either from the current game itself or from the available trades, transfers, and events. In [[Generation III]], although it was initially impossible to legitimately collect all existing Pokémon due to the lack of connection with previous generations, those missing Pokémon eventually became available with new games in the same generation. However, from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] onwards, each new core series game has a limited pool of available Pokémon.

===Starter Pokémon===
{{main|Starter Pokémon}}

The [[starter Pokémon]] is given to the player at the start of their [[Pokémon journey]]. In most core series {{pkmn|games}} (except in [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon Yellow]], [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!]]), the player can choose a {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Water}}-, or {{type|Grass}} starter Pokémon at [[level]] 5. At least one of the player's [[rival]]s will also always choose or have a starter Pokémon, which may either have a type advantage or disadvantage over the player's depending on the game.

===Wild Pokémon===
{{main|Wild Pokémon}}

The player is able to find and {{pkmn|battle}} several kinds of [[wild Pokémon]] in [[tall grass]], [[cave]]s, [[water]], etc. The wild Pokémon can be caught using a [[Poké Ball]].

===Version-exclusive Pokémon===
{{main|Version-exclusive Pokémon}}

Some Pokémon are only found in one or two games within a particular set, to encourage [[Trade|trading]] between players. For example, between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{p|Mawile}} appears only in Ruby, while {{p|Sableye}} appears only in Sapphire. Therefore, a player with Sapphire would not be able to obtain Mawile in-game and could trade with a player of Ruby to obtain one, and vice versa. Version-exclusive Pokémon usually complement each other in design, type, and location in the wild.

===Mutually exclusive Pokémon===
{{main|Mutually exclusive Pokémon}}

In some cases, there are multiple Pokémon potentially available in a single game, but the player must choose one of them or otherwise can't get them all in a single game. They include many trios of [[starter Pokémon]], some [[Fossil]] Pokémon and in some cases [[Legendary Pokémon]].

For instance, the player is able to choose between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} as their {{pkmn2|starter}} in {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red, Blue}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed and LeafGreen}}. The player may also choose one of these Pokémon as a gift given by [[Professor Oak]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, SoulSilver}}, by [[Professor Sycamore]] in {{g|X and Y}}, and by [[Grand Oak]] in {{g|HOME}}.

Several pairs of games have enough Pokémon to complete their [[regional Pokédex]], except for some event-exclusive Pokémon. However, some games still may need to be restarted at least once to acquire all starters or other mutually exclusive Pokémon.

===Permanently missable Pokémon===
{{main|Permanently missable Pokémon}}

Some Pokémon are permanently missable. For instance, prior to {{game|Platinum}}, if the player defeats a wild Pokémon that spawned from an in-game event (such as several [[Legendary Pokémon]] and other Pokémon visible in the overworld), that Pokémon becomes unavailable in the current game. In this case, no other Pokémon of the same species will appear in the current game.

===Unobtainable Shiny Pokémon===
{{main|List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon}}

In some cases, a Pokémon cannot be legitimately obtained as {{Shiny}}. This can happen if the Pokémon cannot be Shiny in the wild or as an in-game gift (or cannot be obtained this way at all) and has never been distributed as Shiny.

==Availability by generation==
:''See also: [[List of Pokémon by availability]]''

===Generation I===
In [[Generation I]], there are 151 Pokémon. 150 Pokémon are available in-game and 1 Pokémon is event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}).

{{p|Lickitung}}, {{p|Jynx}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, and {{p|Mr. Mime}} were originally exclusive to [[in-game trade]]s. For this reason, until the release of later games in which they could be obtained in the wild, they could only have their traded nicknames and the Original Trainer of "TRAINER".

In this generation, the [[Pokédex]] location map does not display the Pokémon available in the [[Cerulean Cave]]. For instance, the Pokédex map claims that the location of wild {{p|Rhydon}} is unknown in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, when in fact wild Rhydon is only found in the Cerulean Cave.

It is possible to trade Pokémon with the [[Generation II]] games via the [[Time Capsule]], which opens up {{pkmn|breeding}} as an option for obtaining Pokémon.

====Pokémon Red and Blue====
In Japan, the original pair of releases was {{game|Red and Green|s}}, which were followed by {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Pokémon Blue}}. International releases were called {{game|Red and Blue|s}} but followed the availability of the Japanese Red and Green. {{game|Red and Green|s}} together have all the available Pokémon in this generation.

====Pokémon Yellow====
In {{game|Yellow}}, there is {{ga|Red's Pikachu|a single Pikachu}} available as the [[starter Pokémon]]. This {{p|Pikachu}} cannot [[evolve]] in the game where it was caught. However, it can evolve normally if traded to another game, and conversely, a Pikachu from another game can evolve normally in Yellow. Due to this, {{p|Raichu}} is unavailable in Pokémon Yellow outside of trades.

===Generation II===
In [[Generation II]], there are 251 Pokémon.

* In the [[Game Boy Color]] release, 249 Pokémon are available in-game and 2 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}}).
* In the [[Virtual Console]] release, 250 Pokémon are available in-game (now including {{p|Celebi}}) and 1 is event-exclusive (Mew). Prior to {{game|Crystal}}'s Virtual Console release, Celebi was still event-exclusive.

It is possible to trade Pokémon between Generation I and II games via the [[Time Capsule]]. Those Pokémon and their evolutions (if any) are available in the [[Generation I]] games, but cannot be found in [[Generation II]] outside of trades: {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}.

====Pokémon Gold and Silver====
In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, almost all Generation II Pokémon are available without trades (except for trade evolutions) or events, other than {{p|Celebi}}.

====Pokémon Crystal====
In {{game|Crystal}}, most Generation I and II Pokémon are available except for some version-exclusive Pokémon.

In the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}} for Game Boy Color, the player is able to summon a wild {{p|Celebi}} if they have the [[GS Ball]] that was distributed via the [[Mobile System GB]], which was shut down in 2002. In this generation, Celebi was also {{gdis|List of European language event Pokémon distributions|II|distributed}} in other countries, by other means unrelated to the GS Ball. This changed in the Virtual Console release, where the GS Ball is found in-game (in all languages).

===Generation III===
In [[Generation III]], there are 386 Pokémon. 380 Pokémon are available in the [[core series]] games, and 6 Pokémon are available by other means ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, and {{p|Deoxys}}).

There is no way to [[transfer]] Pokémon from previous generations into Generation III. However, all Pokémon from previous generations are available in the Generation III games as well.

It is possible to trade Pokémon between the core series games and the [[Orre]]-based side series games for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] ([[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{XD}}). However, completing the [[National Pokédex]] in the core series does not require the Orre games. Almost all Pokémon found in the Orre games are also obtainable without events in the core series. Ho-Oh and Lugia are the only two exceptions, which can be obtained in the core series via the [[MysticTicket]] event or traded from the Orre games, but those two Pokémon are not required for the National Pokédex in this generation.

{{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} are special cases in that, not counting Colosseum or XD, they require a trade to be obtained, but do not evolve by trading. The [[Time|real-time clock]] required for the evolution is present only in Hoenn-based games, but Eevee cannot be obtained in these games without trading it from other games.

The form of {{p|Deoxys}} depends on which game it is in: it is in Normal Forme in Ruby, Sapphire, Colosseum, and XD, Attack Forme in FireRed, Defense Forme in LeafGreen, and Speed Forme in Emerald. Its form cannot be changed without trading.

{{p|Unown}}'s ? and ! forms were originally introduced in the data of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, but they were not originally found anywhere at the time of release of these games and {{pkmn|Colosseum}}. Those forms were later made available in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, a planned [[Mystery Gift]] event would allow some [[Generation II]] Pokémon to appear in the [[Altering Cave]] ({{p|Mareep}}, {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Pineco}}, {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Stantler}}, and {{p|Smeargle}}), but this event was never released. Some of these Pokémon can be found in Colosseum or XD, and they all became available elsewhere in Emerald as well.

The [[Nintendo DS]] is backwards-compatible with the [[Game Boy Advance]] games, except without any multiplayer features. Therefore, when a player uses a Nintendo DS to play the Generation III games, they are not able to trade Pokémon or connect with the GameCube.

====Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald====
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the first 200 Pokémon from the {{gdis|List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|III|Generation III Hoenn Pokédex}} are available in-game (not counting the event-exclusive {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}). Other than trades or events, there are no available Pokémon outside the Hoenn Pokédex.

In {{game|Emerald}}, most Pokémon from Ruby and Sapphire are available as well (except some [[version-exclusive Pokémon]]). After the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained, there are also 33 [[Generation II]] Pokémon (almost all found in the {{ho|Safari Zone}}). Those Generation II Pokémon are not otherwise obtainable in the core series games, although some of them can be traded from the Orre-based side series games.

In the case of the [[Johto]] [[starter Pokémon]], the player can receive one of their choice in Emerald after obtaining all non-event Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex. Wild {{p|Surskit}} can only appear in Emerald in a [[mass outbreak]] after [[record mixing]] with Ruby or Sapphire.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there are 195 Pokémon available in-game. This includes the first 150 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Generation III Kanto Pokédex]] (not counting the event-exclusive {{p|Mew}}). The other Pokémon become available after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained: 43 [[Generation II]] Pokémon (almost all found in the [[Sevii Islands]]), and 2 [[Generation III]] Pokémon ({{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Wynaut}}).

The {{p|Mew}} found on the [[Faraway Island]] can only be accessed with the [[Old Sea Map]], an event-exclusive item which {{DL|List of other event distributions in Generation III|Old Sea Map|was only legitimately distributed in Japan and Taiwan}}. However, Mew {{gdis|List of English event Pokémon distributions|III|was also distributed in some other events elsewhere}} unrelated to the Old Sea Map and the Faraway Island.

====Pokémon Channel, Colosseum, and XD: Gale of Darkness====
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], there are 60 obtainable Pokémon outside of trades: 2 [[starter Pokémon]] ({{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}), [[List of Shadow Pokémon|51 Shadow Pokémon]], 6 evolutions of Shadow Pokémon, and the {{p|Ho-Oh}} from [[Mt. Battle]]. However, the 3 Shadow Pokémon found in the [[Card e Room]] ({{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Mareep}}, and {{p|Scizor}}) are exclusive to the Japanese version, bringing down the total to 57 obtainable Pokémon in the international versions.

In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there are 130 obtainable Pokémon outside of trades: the single [[starter Pokémon]] ({{p|Eevee}}), 1 [[Eeveelution]] (out of 5 [[Mutually exclusive Pokémon#Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|mutually exclusive]] options), [[List of Shadow Pokémon|83 Shadow Pokémon]], 36 evolutions of Shadow Pokémon, the 3 [[Johto]] [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Mt. Battle]], and the 6 evolutions of Johto starter Pokémon.

{{p|Ho-Oh}} can be obtained from [[Mt. Battle]] in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{p|Lugia}} can be caught in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}. Jirachi can be obtained from {{g|Channel}} in Europe or from the [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]] in America, while Celebi can be obtained from the Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc in Japan.

===Generation IV===
In [[Generation IV]], there are 493 Pokémon.

In the core series, 484 Pokémon are available in-game and 9 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}). Prior to the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} were also event-exclusive. Additionally, a {{p|Manaphy}} {{pkmn|Egg}} may be transferred from any of the three [[Pokémon Ranger series]] games, and {{p|Phione}} may be bred from Manaphy.

Pokémon from the Generation III games may be [[transfer]]red to Generation IV via the [[Pal Park]].

Aside from {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regigigas}}, all non-event Pokémon from Generations I–IV are available in the Generation IV games and don't require the Pal Park. A Regigigas may be caught in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum if the player already has Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. Conversely, Regirock, Regice, and Registeel may be caught in Platinum if the player already has a [[fateful encounter]] Regigigas. The only way to obtain these Pokémon without events is to transfer the trio of [[Legendary giants]] from the Generation III games via the Pal Park and use them to obtain Regigigas.

====Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum====
{{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} together have all the Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] (which has 150 Pokémon in these games), aside from the event-exclusive {{p|Manaphy}}. {{game|Platinum}} is missing some Pokémon from the Sinnoh Pokédex (which has 210 Pokémon in this game) that can be found in either Diamond or Pearl.

{{p|Spiritomb}} may be caught in the [[Hallowed Tower]] in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, but only after the player speaks with other players in the [[Underground]] at least 32 times. They need to be connected via the wireless features of the Nintendo DS. In this generation, the [[Pokéwalker]] is the only other place where Spiritomb is available.

The [[dual-slot mode]] causes some additional wild Pokémon to appear in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum if a [[Game Boy Advance]] cartridge is inserted in the [[Nintendo DS]] system. This is not possible on the [[Nintendo DSi]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] systems, which lack a GBA slot. However, all Pokémon available from the dual-slot mode are also available (without the dual-slot mode) in HeartGold or SoulSilver.

Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}}, Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}}, and all appliance forms of {{p|Rotom}} were introduced in Platinum and are also compatible with HeartGold and SoulSilver, but they are incompatible with Diamond and Pearl.

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
{{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} together have all the Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Generation IV Johto Pokédex]] (which has 256 Pokémon in this generation), except for the event-exclusive {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}. Alternatively, most Pokémon from the Johto Pokédex can be transferred from the Generation III games, except {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}} used to be event-exclusive in Generation III, and there are 5 new evolutions introduced to the Johto Pokédex in Generation IV.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, there is no [[special magnetic field]], [[Moss Rock]], or [[Ice Rock]]. For this reason, {{p|Magnezone}}, {{p|Probopass}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}} cannot be obtained via [[evolution]]. Those evolved Pokémon are unavailable except by trading from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

[[Spiky-eared Pichu]] is event-exclusive. The {{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu}} was a {{Shiny}} Pichu distributed via events in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, but if it is traded with HeartGold or SoulSilver and taken to [[Ilex Forest]], then the player will obtain Spiky-eared Pichu. This can still occur even if Pikachu-colored Pichu evolves. The Spiky-eared Pichu is only available in HeartGold and SoulSilver and is unable to be traded or transferred to any other games. Only one Spiky-eared Pichu is available per game in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

[[List of Pokémon found through the Pokéwalker|Some Pokémon can be found]] through the [[Pokéwalker]], a pedometer device that was shipped with and is able to communicate with HeartGold and SoulSilver. Some Pokémon obtained from the Pokéwalker cannot be found normally in HeartGold and SoulSilver (such as {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Feebas}}, and {{p|Wailmer}}). However, all Pokémon from the Pokéwalker may be normally found in multiple Generation IV games (the ones unavailable from HeartGold and SoulSilver may be found in Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum), so the Pokéwalker is not required to find any Pokémon in this generation.

{{p|Rayquaza}} can be caught in the [[Embedded Tower]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver, but only after the player trades with the opposite version to obtain a {{p|Kyogre}} or {{p|Groudon}}.

===Generation V===
In [[Generation V]], there are 649 Pokémon.

In the core series, 636 Pokémon are available in-game and 13 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, and {{p|Genesect}}). Prior to the release of {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} were also event-exclusive.

Pokémon from Generation IV may be [[transfer]]red to Generation V via [[Poké Transfer]] (including any Pokémon previously transferred from Generation III). Some Pokémon were also available from the now-defunct [[Dream World]].

All non-event Pokémon that cannot be obtained in Generation V without Poké Transfer may be found in Generation IV (since Generation IV includes almost all of the non-event Pokémon from the previous generations). Some Pokémon available in the Dream World are not available anywhere else in Generation V (such as {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Diglett}}), but may be transferred from Generation IV as well.

====Pokémon Black and White====
{{game|Black and White|s}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the first version of the Unova Pokédex (which has a total of {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Black and White|156 Pokémon}}).

{{p|Landorus}} can be caught at the [[Abundant Shrine]] in both Black and White after the player trades with the opposite version to obtain {{p|Tornadus}} or {{p|Thundurus}}.

In Black and White, the [[Relocator]] may be used to transfer certain event Pokémon from the Generation IV games for the purpose of catching {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}. Zorua becomes available if the player transfers {{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Celebi}}, and Zoroark becomes available if the player transfers the {{Shiny}} [[Legendary beasts]] ({{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Raikou, Entei, and Suicune}}).

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
{{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the second version of the Unova Pokédex (which was expanded to a total of {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Black 2 and White 2|301 Pokémon}}).

{{p|Kyurem|White Kyurem, Black Kyurem}}, the Therian Forms of the [[Forces of Nature]] (Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus), and Resolute Form {{p|Keldeo}} were introduced in Black 2 and White 2, and are incompatible with Black and White. Additionally, all of these forms except for Keldeo's cannot be traded at all; due to this and the way that the [[DNA Splicers]] work, it is impossible to own both White Kyurem and Black Kyurem at the same time, and it is also impossible to own more than one Black Kyurem or more than one White Kyurem at once.

In Black 2 and White 2, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} can be caught in the [[Underground Ruins]]. However, Regice only appears in Black 2 if the player receives the Iceberg [[Key System|Key]] from White 2 via [[Unova Link]], while Registeel only appears in White 2 if the player receives the Iron Key from Black 2 via Unova Link. {{p|Regigigas}} can then be caught in [[Twist Mountain]] only if the player has Regirock, Regice and Registeel, so Regigigas also requires trading or using Unova Link to obtain without using Poké Transfer.

{{p|Stunky}} and {{p|Glameow}} are available via a special [[Funfest Mission]] that can only be hosted in Black 2 or White 2, respectively. However, the opposite version can still obtain the other Pokémon by joining the Funfest Mission.

Certain Pokémon that can be caught in Black 2 and White 2 are found only in the [[Nature Preserve]], which is only accessible by seeing all non-event Pokémon in the New Unova Pokédex (most notably, {{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Gyarados}}, otherwise available only by purchasing a Magikarp from the [[Magikarp salesman]], are available to catch at the Nature Preserve). Accessing the Nature Preserve requires trading, as it is impossible to see all stages of whichever starter was not picked by the player nor by [[Hugh]], as well as some of the version-exclusive Pokémon not being used by any NPC Trainers.

===Generation VI===
In [[Generation VI]], there are 721 Pokémon.

In the core series, 706 Pokémon are available in-game and 15 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, and {{p|Volcanion}}). Prior to the release of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, {{p|Deoxys}} was also event-exclusive.

Pokémon from Generation V can be [[transfer]]red one-way to the {{g|Bank}} via the [[Poké Transporter]] (including any Pokémon previously transferred from Generations III and IV). Once in Pokémon Bank, these Pokémon can be withdrawn to the Generation VI games. However, Pokémon that have been in a Generation VII game and or that were sent from the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] games cannot be withdrawn to Generation VI.

All non-event Pokémon from Generations I–VI may be found in Generation VI without requiring use of Pokémon Bank. However, in the Generation VI games, {{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} may only be found in their Spring Form. Other forms can only be obtained by transferring them from the Generation V games.

====Pokémon X and Y====
{{g|X and Y}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the three [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos Pokédexes]] (which have a total of 457 Pokémon; most are from previous generations, though all Generation VI Pokémon are found in the Kalos Pokédexes).

In Pokémon X and Y, several Pokémon are available from the [[Friend Safari]], which contains various areas that are unlocked based on the friends registered on the player's [[Nintendo 3DS]]. However, all Pokémon found in the Friend Safari are also available elsewhere in X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire.

====Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire====
{{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the {{gdis|List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|VI|Generation VI Hoenn Pokédex}} (which has 211 Pokémon; all of them are from previous generations) and several other Pokémon as well.

Some [[Mega Evolution]]s, [[Primal Reversion]], the [[Cosplay Pikachu]], and {{p|Hoopa}} {{form|Hoopa|Unbound}} were introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and are incompatible with Pokémon X and Y. Only one Cosplay Pikachu is available per game; it is unable to evolve, and it cannot be traded or transferred to any other games.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, several Pokémon can be found in the [[Mirage spot]]s, which may appear and disappear and are accessible by [[soaring in the sky]]. Some Mirage spots contain a [[Legendary Pokémon]] from a previous generation, and appear if the player meets a certain condition (such as having certain Pokémon in their [[party]], or having any [[level]] 100 Pokémon in their party). There are also 32 daily Mirage spots that contain multiple non-Legendary Pokémon. Only one daily Mirage spot appears on each day, unless the player receives additional Mirage spots via [[StreetPass]].

====Friend Safari and Mirage spots====
In the Generation VI games, the Pokémon below (and their evolutionary families, via evolution or breeding) can only be found in the [[Friend Safari]]{{sup/6|XY}} and in the random daily Mirage spots{{sup/6|ORAS}}. They may or may not be available at a certain point in time, until the player waits for the correct day, receives the correct Mirage spot via StreetPass, or unlocks the correct area in the Friend Safari.

Available in both the Friend Safari and the daily Mirage spots:

* {{p|Venomoth}}
* {{p|Chansey}} (Friend Safari), {{p|Happiny}} (Mirage spots)
* {{p|Tangela}}
* {{p|Electabuzz}} (Friend Safari), {{p|Elekid}} (Mirage spots)
* {{p|Magmar}} (Friend Safari), {{p|Magby}} (Mirage spots)
* {{p|Sunkern}}
* {{p|Forretress}}
* {{p|Munna}}
* {{p|Zebstrika}}
* {{p|Excadrill}}
* {{p|Petilil}}
* {{p|Maractus}}
* {{p|Minccino}}
* {{p|Klink}} (Mirage spots), {{p|Klang}} (Friend Safari)
* {{p|Vullaby}}
* {{p|Larvesta}}

Available in the daily Mirage spots but not in the Friend Safari:

* {{p|Persian}}
* {{p|Porygon}}
* {{p|Unown}}
* {{p|Stantler}}
* {{p|Kricketune}}
* {{p|Cherrim}}
* {{p|Glameow}}, {{p|Purugly}}
* {{p|Darmanitan}}
* {{p|Cofagrigus}}
* {{p|Tynamo}}

===Generation VII===
In [[Generation VII]], there are 809 Pokémon. Prior to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], there were 807 Pokémon. Prior to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, there were 802 Pokémon. There are also 18 [[Alolan form]]s available in all games of this generation.

====Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon====
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, 786 Pokémon are available in-game and 16 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, and {{p|Marshadow}}).

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, some new Pokémon species and forms were introduced which are incompatible with Sun and Moon. 790 Pokémon are available in-game (the same as in Sun and Moon, with the additions of {{p|Poipole}}, {{p|Naganadel}}, {{p|Stakataka}}, and {{p|Blacephalon}}) and 17 Pokémon are event-exclusive (the same as in Sun and Moon, with the addition of {{p|Zeraora}}). The {{form|Necrozma|Dusk Mane, Dawn Wings, and Ultra forms}} of {{p|Necrozma}}, as well as the event-only {{DL|Pikachu in a cap|Partner Cap Pikachu}} and {{form|Lycanroc|Dusk Form}} {{p|Lycanroc}} were introduced in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon as well.

{{p|Celebi}} used to be event-exclusive as well in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon prior to the [[Virtual Console]] release of {{game|Crystal}}.

Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon are compatible with the [[Pokémon Bank]]. This allows the one-way transfer of Pokémon from earlier generations into these games (since the [[Generation VI]] games are also compatible with the Pokémon Bank, while the [[Generation V]] games and the [[Virtual Console]] version of [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games can use the [[Poké Transporter]]).

Sun and Moon together, as well as Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon together, have all the non-event Pokémon from the Alola Pokédex (which has {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Sun and Moon|302 Pokémon}} in the first pair of games and was expanded to {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|403 Pokémon}} in the second pair of games). Some Pokémon outside the Alola Pokédex are also available in-game, but several other Pokémon from previous generations cannot be found in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, except by being transferred from earlier generations.

The Spring Form of {{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} can be transferred from Generation VI games while the other forms of both Pokémon can be transferred from Generation V games.

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the first 150 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] are available in-game (including their Alolan forms), and 3 additional Pokémon are available by other means: {{p|Mew}} by getting it from the [[Poké Ball Plus]] and {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}} by transferring them from {{g|GO}} via the [[GO Park]]. This pair of games is incompatible with all other Pokémon, and are the first core-series games to do so, which became the norm following later releases.

The {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and partner {{p|Eevee}} are exclusive to Let's Go, Pikachu! and Eevee!, respectively. Each game has only one partner Pikachu or Eevee; it cannot [[evolve]], and it cannot be traded or transferred to other games. However, regular Pikachu and Eevee are available in both games.

The games are incompatible with Pokémon Bank, but were later supported by Pokémon Home.

===Generation VIII===
In [[Generation VIII]], there are 905 Pokémon. When {{g|Sword and Shield}} were initially released, there were 890 Pokémon; 3 more debuted in [[The Isle of Armor]] (including the event-exclusive {{p|Zarude}}), 5 more debuted in [[The Crown Tundra]], and the remaining 7 debuted in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

No games in this generation feature every Pokémon. {{g|HOME}}, an application for storing and transferring Pokémon, is compatible with all 905 Pokémon; however, the games themselves are incompatible with certain Pokémon. These incompatible Pokémon cannot be obtained in the games in any way, including via transfer.

Pokémon in {{g|Bank}}, including those [[transfer]]red from previous generations, can be transferred to Pokémon HOME. Pokémon from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] can also be deposited into Pokémon HOME, and since November 10, 2020, it has been possible for Pokémon from {{g|GO}} to be transferred into Pokémon HOME via the [[GO Transporter]]. Additionally, some Pokémon have been directly {{gdis|List of game-based Pokémon distributions|VIII|distributed}} in Pokémon HOME, either as events or rewards for certain actions; most notably, the {{form|Magearna|Original Color}} {{p|Magearna}} is obtainable in HOME as a reward for completion of the [[National Pokédex]], which is the only way to obtain it, though it can only be obtained with events due to the fact that some of the Pokémon in the National Pokédex are event-exclusive.

Once in HOME, if a Pokémon is compatible with a Generation VIII game, it can be moved to that game. Additionally, Pokémon can be moved from Generation VIII games into HOME, allowing them to be exchanged between all of the generation's games. However, if a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] (besides {{p|Meltan}} or {{p|Melmetal}}) is transferred to HOME from Pokémon GO, then it cannot be deposited into a game unless the player has already obtained one of its species in that game. {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and {{g|Legends: Arceus}} were not compatible with Pokémon HOME until the Version 2.0.0 update, released on May 18, 2022.

====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
{{g|Sword and Shield}} are compatible with 664 Pokémon. Of these, 656 are available in-game and 8 are event-exclusive ({{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, {{p|Zeraora}}, and {{p|Zarude}}). Prior to the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], {{p|Keldeo}} was also event-exclusive; prior to {{g|HOME}} becoming compatible with {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Jirachi}} were also event-exclusive.

* At first, only 401 Pokémon were obtainable, consisting of the 400 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] and {{p|Mew}} from the [[Poké Ball Plus]]. Sword and Shield together have all 400 Pokémon in the Galar Pokédex.
* In version 1.1.0 of the games, [[Galarian form|Galarian]] {{p|Slowpoke}} was added and made available to catch at [[Wedgehurst Station]], increasing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 402.
* Ahead of the release of {{g|HOME}}, 6 additional Pokémon (the {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}} lines) were made available in event Max Raid Battles, raising the total to 408.
* Upon the release of {{g|HOME}}, 34 additional Pokémon were made available via transfer from previous generations (including the event-exclusive {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, and {{p|Zeraora}}), bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 436.
* In version 1.2.0 of the games, with the release of [[The Isle of Armor]], 103 additional Pokémon (including the event-exclusive {{p|Zarude}}) not present in the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] became available as part of a new [[List of Pokémon by Isle of Armor Pokédex number|Isle of Armor Pokédex]], and {{p|Magearna}} was made available via Pokémon HOME (albeit as an event-exclusive Pokémon), bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 540. Additionally, 15 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means. With The Isle of Armor, Sword and Shield together have all 211 Pokémon from the Isle of Armor Pokédex except for the event-exclusive Zarude, and also have {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}}, {{p|Popplio}}, and their evolutionary families.
* In version 1.3.0 of the games, with the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], 124 additional Pokémon (including the event-exclusive {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, and {{p|Volcanion}}) present in neither the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] nor the [[List of Pokémon by Isle of Armor Pokédex number|Isle of Armor Pokédex]] became obtainable, bringing the total to 664. Of these newly available Pokémon, 71 became available as part of a new [[List of Pokémon by Crown Tundra Pokédex number|Crown Tundra Pokédex]]. Additionally, 13 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means (including {{p|Keldeo}}, thus making it no longer event-exclusive). With The Crown Tundra, Sword and Shield together have all 210 Pokémon in the Crown Tundra Pokédex, as well as 59 others.

In total, Pokémon Sword and Shield together, including the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}, have 651 Pokémon, consisting of all of the Pokémon in the Galar, Isle of Armor, and Crown Tundra Pokédexes, besides the event-exclusive Zarude, and 68 others not in any of the three Pokédexes. The games are also compatible with 13 additional Pokémon (all of which are [[Mythical Pokémon]]) that are only obtainable via events or transferring them from other games: {{p|Mew}} (which is also available via the Poké Ball Plus), {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, {{p|Zeraora}}, {{p|Meltan}}, {{p|Melmetal}}, and {{p|Zarude}} (which is the only one of the 13 not obtainable via transfer from a previous generation). None of these are in any of the three Pokédexes in the games except Zarude, which is in the Isle of Armor Pokédex.

Pokémon Sword and Shield are also compatible with [[Galarian form|Galarian]] and [[Alolan form]]s. They feature all 19 Galarian forms, but due to some Pokémon with Alolan forms not being featured in the games, only 11 out of the 18 Alolan forms are present. All Alolan forms (that exist in the games) and original forms of Pokémon with Galarian forms are obtainable without requiring transfer from previous generations, though most require the Expansion Pass to obtain in this way.

* At first, 13 Galarian forms and no Alolan forms were available. Additionally, the original forms of {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Yamask}}, and {{p|Mr. Mime}} are obtainable via [[in-game trade]]s.
* {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}} was added and made available to catch at [[Wedgehurst Station]] in the version 1.1.0 update. However, it was initially unable to evolve.
* Upon the release of {{g|HOME}}, the Alolan forms of {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Dugtrio}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and {{p|Persian}} became available via [[transfer]] from previous games. Additionally, the original forms of all Pokémon with Galarian forms became available via transfer as well, with the exception of Slowpoke, which was unable to be transferred.
* With the release of [[The Isle of Armor]], due to the additions of {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, and {{p|Marowak}}, the Alolan forms of each have become available via transfer. Additionally, Slowpoke's original form was made available to transfer, as well as the rest of the Slowpoke line, and Galarian Slowpoke was made available to catch outside of Wedgehurst Station. Galarian {{p|Slowbro}} was also added, with Galarian Slowpoke now being able to evolve into it.
** The Isle of Armor also introduces an NPC named Regina, who appears in random locations on the [[Isle of Armor]] and will trade Alolan forms to the player in exchange for their original forms, or will trade the original forms of Pokémon in exchange for their Galarian forms. After she has been traded with, she will relocate to another position on the island and be available for another trade; it is possible for her to repeat the same trade an indefinite number of times. From Regina, the original forms of {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Ponyta}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Weezing}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Corsola}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Darumaka}}, and {{p|Stunfisk}} and the Alolan forms of {{p|Exeggutor}} and {{p|Marowak}} can be obtained without requiring transfer (as can the original forms of {{p|Rapidash}}, {{p|Linoone}}, and {{p|Darmanitan}} via evolution). However, trades for Farfetch'd and Darumaka are exclusive to Pokémon Sword, while trades for Ponyta and Corsola are exclusive to Pokémon Shield.
** The Isle of Armor also features a {{DL|Fields of Honor|Diglett Trainer}} who owns 151 Alolan Diglett that are scattered throughout the island. The player is tasked with finding these Diglett, and the Trainer will reward them with Pokémon, most of which are Alolan forms, when they reach certain milestones. From this Diglett Trainer, the following forms of Pokémon are obtainable without requiring transfer: Alolan {{p|Meowth}} (after finding 5 Diglett), regular {{p|Slowpoke}} (after finding 10 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Vulpix}} (after finding 20 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Sandshrew}} (after finding 30 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Raichu}} (after finding 40 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Marowak}} (after finding 50 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}} (after finding 75 Diglett), and Alolan {{p|Diglett}} (after finding all 151 Diglett). By evolving these Pokémon, the Alolan forms of {{p|Persian}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Sandslash}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} and the original forms of {{p|Slowbro}} and {{p|Slowking}} are also obtainable.
* With the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], the Galarian forms of {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} became available, as did their original forms via transfer. However, it is also possible to obtain the original forms of Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres without having to transfer them, as they are among the available [[Legendary Pokémon]] in [[Dynamax Adventure]]s. Galarian {{p|Slowking}} was also added, with Galarian Slowpoke now being able to evolve into it.

====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
{{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} are compatible with 493 Pokémon, consisting of every Pokémon from the first four [[generation]]s, as in the original {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.

*491 Pokémon are obtainable in-game; of them, 1 ({{p|Arceus}}) is only obtainable via [[save data bonus]]es or [[transfer]], 4 ({{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, and {{p|Shaymin}}) are only obtainable via transfer or events, and 2 ({{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}) are only obtainable via transfer. The remaining 2 Pokémon ({{p|Mew}} and {{p|Jirachi}}) are obtainable via save data bonuses.
**In order to obtain {{p|Mew}}, the player must have save data from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!]] on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met, a {{tc|Gentleman}} in [[Floaroma Town]] will {{pkmn2|gift}} the player a Mew when spoken to.
**In order to obtain {{p|Jirachi}}, the player must have save data from {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword or Shield}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met, a {{tc|Madame}} in [[Floaroma Town]] will gift the player a Jirachi when spoken to.
**In order to obtain {{p|Arceus}} without transfer, the player must have save data from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system, and they must have completed all of said game's 27 story [[Task|missions]] within this save data. If this requirement is met and the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]] and obtained the [[National Pokédex]], they can obtain the [[Azure Flute]] in their [[Player's house|house]] in [[Twinleaf Town]], which can then be used at [[Spear Pillar]] to access the [[Hall of Origin]] and {{pkmn|battle}} and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Arceus. This is only possible in Version 1.3.0 or later.
**A [[Manaphy Egg]] was distributed through [[Mystery Gift]] via the Internet from November 19, 2021 to February 21, 2022. This {{pkmn|Egg}} can hatch into {{p|Manaphy}}, which can be {{pkmn|breeding|bred}} with {{p|Ditto}} to produce {{p|Phione}}.
**[[Oak's Letter]] was distributed through [[Mystery Gift]] via the Internet from February 27, 2022 to March 27, 2022. If the player brings this item to {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}, they can gain access to [[Flower Paradise]], where {{p|Shaymin}} can be encountered.
**The [[Member Card]] was distributed through [[Mystery Gift]] via the Internet from April 1, 2022 to April 30, 2022. If the player brings this item to the inn in [[Canalave City]], they can gain access to [[Newmoon Island]], where {{p|Darkrai}} can be encountered.

====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
{{g|Legends: Arceus}} is compatible with 242 Pokémon. This includes all Pokémon that debuted in [[Generation IV]].

*240 Pokémon are obtainable in-game, and the remaining 2 Pokémon ({{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}) are exclusive to [[save data bonus]]es.
**In order to obtain {{p|Darkrai}}, the player must have save data from {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met and the main story of Legends: Arceus has been completed, the {{DL|Task|Requests|request}} "The Darksome Nightmare" will become available, in which a Darkrai can be caught.
**In order to obtain {{p|Shaymin}}, the player must have save data from {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword or Shield}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met and the main story of Legends: Arceus has been completed, the {{DL|Task|Requests|request}} "A Token of Gratitude" will become available, in which a Shaymin can be caught.

In total, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is compatible with 369 [[forms]], including all 17 new {{rf|Hisuian|Form}}s. All Hisuian forms replace their original forms, except in the case of {{p|Sneasel}}, where both forms are included. 242 forms make up unique species, with an additional 59 forms being the result of [[gender differences]]. In addition to this, there are a further 27 {{p|Unown}}, 5 {{p|Rotom}}, 2 {{p|Burmy}} and 2 {{p|Wormadam}} forms; and a further 6 forms accounted by West/East Sea {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, Alolan/Original {{p|Vulpix}} and {{p|Ninetales}}, Hisuian/Original {{p|Sneasel}}, and Overcast/Sunshine {{p|Cherrim}}. The remaining 26 forms, not yet counted, consist of 18 separate {{p|Arceus}} forms, as well as alternate forms for {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, {{p|Enamorus}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}} and {{p|Shaymin}}. Cherrim cannot appear in its Sunshine form when stored and Legend Plate Arceus appears as Blank Plate Arceus when stored. Legend Plate Arceus also does not count as a separate form entry in the Pokédex. Heights and weights for gender differences, except {{p|Basculegion}}, are not recorded separately in the Pokédex.

All forms can be obtained as [[alpha]] Pokémon except Alolan Vulpix, Alolan Ninetales, and those of the 18 in-game [[Legendary]] and [[Mythical]] Pokémon, totaling 46 forms excluded. All alpha Pokémon are the largest possible specimens for their species except {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Steelix}}, {{p|Rhyperior}} and Hisuian {{p|Avalugg}}. Only one Alolan Vulpix (or Alolan Ninetales), and only one of each of the in-game Legendary and Mythical Pokémon (except {{p|Phione}}) can be obtained (and only in their average size) without transferring.

All forms and their alpha equivalents can be {{Shiny}}; however, Alolan Vulpix, Alolan Ninetales, and the in-game Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are Shiny-locked and thus cannot be obtained Shiny without transferring them into the game. Shiny {{p|Enamorus}} is not currently legally obtainable as a result. Additionally, several {{OBP|List of in-game event Pokémon|Legends: Arceus|in-game event Pokémon}} are Shiny-locked, but can be captured in the wild Shiny.

Following the introduction of {{g|HOME}} compatibility, the ability to transfer alpha Pokémon to other [[Generation VIII]] games became available. A consequence of this is an alpha Pokémon can be evolved into a different [[regional form]] (or species) not compatible with Pokémon Legends: Arceus, giving rise to 9 HOME-exclusive alpha forms: the original forms of {{p|Typhlosion}}, {{p|Lilligant}}, {{p|Braviary}}, {{p|Sliggoo}}, {{p|Goodra}}, {{p|Avalugg}}, {{p|Decidueye}}; the Galarian form of {{p|Mr. Mime}}; and {{p|Mr. Rime}}. A 10th HOME-exclusive alpha form became available following the {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}-HOME compatibility update: the original form of {{p|Samurott}}; however, the alpha icon no longer displays for the HOME-exclusive alphas. Instead, an alpha mark is obtained if any alpha is transferred to Scarlet and Violet. All HOME-exclusive alpha forms except the Galarian form of {{p|Mr. Mime}} and {{p|Mr. Rime}} can be transferred and therefore obtain the alpha mark.

Before {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} received integration with [[Pokémon HOME]] in HOME v3.0.0, Pokémon originating from {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} or earlier that were then transferred into Legends: Arceus received minimum [[Size and weight variation|heights and weights]] (values of 0, as prior to {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} height and weight were not generated as distinct values); following the update, randomized heights and weights will be assigned to them instead, provided they haven't been assigned a size already by being transferred to another [[Generation VIII]] or {{gen|IX}} game.

===Generation IX===
In [[Generation IX]], there are 1017 Pokémon, but not all of them are obtainable.

====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
{{g|Scarlet and Violet}} are compatible with 733 Pokémon. Of these, 692 are available in-game, 5 are event-exclusive ({{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Zarude}}, and {{p|Pecharunt}}), and the remaining 36 are only obtainable by transferring from {{g|HOME}} or through limited-time Tera Raids or other events.

* At first, only 402 Pokémon were obtainable, consisting of the 400 Pokémon from the Paldea Pokédex as well as {{p|Quagsire}} and {{p|Perrserker}} from in-game events. Scarlet and Violet together have all 400 Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex.
* Ahead of {{g|HOME}} being made compatible with Scarlet and Violet, the {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Scorbunny}}, {{p|Froakie}}, {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Sobble}}, and {{p|Chespin}} lines became available in Black Crystal [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, raising the total to 426.
* Hisuian {{p|Zoroark}} was made available through pre-purchasing the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, starting February 27.
* {{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}} were added to the game's data in Patch 1.2.0 and became available in 7 Star Tera Raid Battles from February 27, to March 12, 2023, raising the total to 428.
* Upon {{g|HOME}} being made compatible with Scarlet and Violet, 50 more Pokémon (including the aforementioned event-exclusive ones) were transferred in, raising the total to 478.
* In version 2.0.1 of the games, with the release of [[The Teal Mask]], 95 additional Pokémon not present in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]] became available as part of the new [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]], and the [[Sinnoh]] [[Starter Pokémon|starters]], {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, and {{p|Shaymin}} were made available via Pokémon HOME, bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 587. Additionally, 3 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means ({{p|Carbink}}, {{p|Ursaluna}}, and {{p|Basculegion}}).
* In version 3.0.0 of the games, with the release of [[The Indigo Disk]], 124 additional Pokémon not present in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]] or [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]] became available as part of the new [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]], {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Solgaleo}}, {{p|Lunala}}, and {{p|Necrozma}} were added and made available through in-game events, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Keldeo}},{{p|Cosmog}}, and {{p|Cosmoem}} were made available via Pokémon HOME, bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 730. Additionally, 13 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means ({{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Glastrier}}, {{p|Spectrier}}, {{p|Kleavor}}, and {{p|Overqwil}}).
* Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are also compatible with 15 of the 18 {{rf|Alolan|Form}}s, 8 of the 19 {{rf|Galarian|Form}}s, and all 17 {{rf|Hisuian|Form}}s, as well as the 4 {{rf|Paldean|Form}}s.

Pokémon availability

2024-01-08T16:50:26Z

MatoroBro0107: /* Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! */

'''Pokémon availability''' refers to the various means of obtaining {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|games}}.

==Overview==
In all [[core series]] games, some Pokémon may be {{pkmn2|caught}} and others are available via [[evolution]]. There are various [[methods of evolution]], including by reaching a certain [[level]], using an [[evolution stone]], or when the Pokémon is [[trade]]d. Other methods to obtain Pokémon also exist, including [[breeding]], [[in-game trade]]s, receiving them as [[gift Pokémon]], and {{pkmn2|event}}s. Some Pokémon may not be available in a certain game, but may be [[trade]]d from another game, or [[transfer]]red from an earlier [[generation]].

From [[Generation I]] until [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], each core series game was compatible with all the Pokémon species released to date, either from the current game itself or from the available trades, transfers, and events. In [[Generation III]], although it was initially impossible to legitimately collect all existing Pokémon due to the lack of connection with previous generations, those missing Pokémon eventually became available with new games in the same generation. However, from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] onwards, each new core series game has a limited pool of available Pokémon.

===Starter Pokémon===
{{main|Starter Pokémon}}

The [[starter Pokémon]] is given to the player at the start of their [[Pokémon journey]]. In most core series {{pkmn|games}} (except in [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon Yellow]], [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!]]), the player can choose a {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Water}}-, or {{type|Grass}} starter Pokémon at [[level]] 5. At least one of the player's [[rival]]s will also always choose or have a starter Pokémon, which may either have a type advantage or disadvantage over the player's depending on the game.

===Wild Pokémon===
{{main|Wild Pokémon}}

The player is able to find and {{pkmn|battle}} several kinds of [[wild Pokémon]] in [[tall grass]], [[cave]]s, [[water]], etc. The wild Pokémon can be caught using a [[Poké Ball]].

===Version-exclusive Pokémon===
{{main|Version-exclusive Pokémon}}

Some Pokémon are only found in one or two games within a particular set, to encourage [[Trade|trading]] between players. For example, between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{p|Mawile}} appears only in Ruby, while {{p|Sableye}} appears only in Sapphire. Therefore, a player with Sapphire would not be able to obtain Mawile in-game and could trade with a player of Ruby to obtain one, and vice versa. Version-exclusive Pokémon usually complement each other in design, type, and location in the wild.

===Mutually exclusive Pokémon===
{{main|Mutually exclusive Pokémon}}

In some cases, there are multiple Pokémon potentially available in a single game, but the player must choose one of them or otherwise can't get them all in a single game. They include many trios of [[starter Pokémon]], some [[Fossil]] Pokémon and in some cases [[Legendary Pokémon]].

For instance, the player is able to choose between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} as their {{pkmn2|starter}} in {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red, Blue}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed and LeafGreen}}. The player may also choose one of these Pokémon as a gift given by [[Professor Oak]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, SoulSilver}}, by [[Professor Sycamore]] in {{g|X and Y}}, and by [[Grand Oak]] in {{g|HOME}}.

Several pairs of games have enough Pokémon to complete their [[regional Pokédex]], except for some event-exclusive Pokémon. However, some games still may need to be restarted at least once to acquire all starters or other mutually exclusive Pokémon.

===Permanently missable Pokémon===
{{main|Permanently missable Pokémon}}

Some Pokémon are permanently missable. For instance, prior to {{game|Platinum}}, if the player defeats a wild Pokémon that spawned from an in-game event (such as several [[Legendary Pokémon]] and other Pokémon visible in the overworld), that Pokémon becomes unavailable in the current game. In this case, no other Pokémon of the same species will appear in the current game.

===Unobtainable Shiny Pokémon===
{{main|List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon}}

In some cases, a Pokémon cannot be legitimately obtained as {{Shiny}}. This can happen if the Pokémon cannot be Shiny in the wild or as an in-game gift (or cannot be obtained this way at all) and has never been distributed as Shiny.

==Availability by generation==
:''See also: [[List of Pokémon by availability]]''

===Generation I===
In [[Generation I]], there are 151 Pokémon. 150 Pokémon are available in-game and 1 Pokémon is event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}).

{{p|Lickitung}}, {{p|Jynx}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, and {{p|Mr. Mime}} were originally exclusive to [[in-game trade]]s. For this reason, until the release of later games in which they could be obtained in the wild, they could only have their traded nicknames and the Original Trainer of "TRAINER".

In this generation, the [[Pokédex]] location map does not display the Pokémon available in the [[Cerulean Cave]]. For instance, the Pokédex map claims that the location of wild {{p|Rhydon}} is unknown in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, when in fact wild Rhydon is only found in the Cerulean Cave.

It is possible to trade Pokémon with the [[Generation II]] games via the [[Time Capsule]], which opens up {{pkmn|breeding}} as an option for obtaining Pokémon.

====Pokémon Red and Blue====
In Japan, the original pair of releases was {{game|Red and Green|s}}, which were followed by {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Pokémon Blue}}. International releases were called {{game|Red and Blue|s}} but followed the availability of the Japanese Red and Green. {{game|Red and Green|s}} together have all the available Pokémon in this generation.

====Pokémon Yellow====
In {{game|Yellow}}, there is {{ga|Red's Pikachu|a single Pikachu}} available as the [[starter Pokémon]]. This {{p|Pikachu}} cannot [[evolve]] in the game where it was caught. However, it can evolve normally if traded to another game, and conversely, a Pikachu from another game can evolve normally in Yellow. Due to this, {{p|Raichu}} is unavailable in Pokémon Yellow outside of trades.

===Generation II===
In [[Generation II]], there are 251 Pokémon.

* In the [[Game Boy Color]] release, 249 Pokémon are available in-game and 2 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}}).
* In the [[Virtual Console]] release, 250 Pokémon are available in-game (now including {{p|Celebi}}) and 1 is event-exclusive (Mew). Prior to {{game|Crystal}}'s Virtual Console release, Celebi was still event-exclusive.

It is possible to trade Pokémon between Generation I and II games via the [[Time Capsule]]. Those Pokémon and their evolutions (if any) are available in the [[Generation I]] games, but cannot be found in [[Generation II]] outside of trades: {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}.

====Pokémon Gold and Silver====
In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, almost all Generation II Pokémon are available without trades (except for trade evolutions) or events, other than {{p|Celebi}}.

====Pokémon Crystal====
In {{game|Crystal}}, most Generation I and II Pokémon are available except for some version-exclusive Pokémon.

In the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}} for Game Boy Color, the player is able to summon a wild {{p|Celebi}} if they have the [[GS Ball]] that was distributed via the [[Mobile System GB]], which was shut down in 2002. In this generation, Celebi was also {{gdis|List of European language event Pokémon distributions|II|distributed}} in other countries, by other means unrelated to the GS Ball. This changed in the Virtual Console release, where the GS Ball is found in-game (in all languages).

===Generation III===
In [[Generation III]], there are 386 Pokémon. 380 Pokémon are available in the [[core series]] games, and 6 Pokémon are available by other means ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, and {{p|Deoxys}}).

There is no way to [[transfer]] Pokémon from previous generations into Generation III. However, all Pokémon from previous generations are available in the Generation III games as well.

It is possible to trade Pokémon between the core series games and the [[Orre]]-based side series games for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] ([[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{XD}}). However, completing the [[National Pokédex]] in the core series does not require the Orre games. Almost all Pokémon found in the Orre games are also obtainable without events in the core series. Ho-Oh and Lugia are the only two exceptions, which can be obtained in the core series via the [[MysticTicket]] event or traded from the Orre games, but those two Pokémon are not required for the National Pokédex in this generation.

{{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} are special cases in that, not counting Colosseum or XD, they require a trade to be obtained, but do not evolve by trading. The [[Time|real-time clock]] required for the evolution is present only in Hoenn-based games, but Eevee cannot be obtained in these games without trading it from other games.

The form of {{p|Deoxys}} depends on which game it is in: it is in Normal Forme in Ruby, Sapphire, Colosseum, and XD, Attack Forme in FireRed, Defense Forme in LeafGreen, and Speed Forme in Emerald. Its form cannot be changed without trading.

{{p|Unown}}'s ? and ! forms were originally introduced in the data of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, but they were not originally found anywhere at the time of release of these games and {{pkmn|Colosseum}}. Those forms were later made available in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, a planned [[Mystery Gift]] event would allow some [[Generation II]] Pokémon to appear in the [[Altering Cave]] ({{p|Mareep}}, {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Pineco}}, {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Stantler}}, and {{p|Smeargle}}), but this event was never released. Some of these Pokémon can be found in Colosseum or XD, and they all became available elsewhere in Emerald as well.

The [[Nintendo DS]] is backwards-compatible with the [[Game Boy Advance]] games, except without any multiplayer features. Therefore, when a player uses a Nintendo DS to play the Generation III games, they are not able to trade Pokémon or connect with the GameCube.

====Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald====
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the first 200 Pokémon from the {{gdis|List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|III|Generation III Hoenn Pokédex}} are available in-game (not counting the event-exclusive {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}). Other than trades or events, there are no available Pokémon outside the Hoenn Pokédex.

In {{game|Emerald}}, most Pokémon from Ruby and Sapphire are available as well (except some [[version-exclusive Pokémon]]). After the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained, there are also 33 [[Generation II]] Pokémon (almost all found in the {{ho|Safari Zone}}). Those Generation II Pokémon are not otherwise obtainable in the core series games, although some of them can be traded from the Orre-based side series games.

In the case of the [[Johto]] [[starter Pokémon]], the player can receive one of their choice in Emerald after obtaining all non-event Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex. Wild {{p|Surskit}} can only appear in Emerald in a [[mass outbreak]] after [[record mixing]] with Ruby or Sapphire.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there are 195 Pokémon available in-game. This includes the first 150 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Generation III Kanto Pokédex]] (not counting the event-exclusive {{p|Mew}}). The other Pokémon become available after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained: 43 [[Generation II]] Pokémon (almost all found in the [[Sevii Islands]]), and 2 [[Generation III]] Pokémon ({{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Wynaut}}).

The {{p|Mew}} found on the [[Faraway Island]] can only be accessed with the [[Old Sea Map]], an event-exclusive item which {{DL|List of other event distributions in Generation III|Old Sea Map|was only legitimately distributed in Japan and Taiwan}}. However, Mew {{gdis|List of English event Pokémon distributions|III|was also distributed in some other events elsewhere}} unrelated to the Old Sea Map and the Faraway Island.

====Pokémon Channel, Colosseum, and XD: Gale of Darkness====
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], there are 60 obtainable Pokémon outside of trades: 2 [[starter Pokémon]] ({{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}), [[List of Shadow Pokémon|51 Shadow Pokémon]], 6 evolutions of Shadow Pokémon, and the {{p|Ho-Oh}} from [[Mt. Battle]]. However, the 3 Shadow Pokémon found in the [[Card e Room]] ({{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Mareep}}, and {{p|Scizor}}) are exclusive to the Japanese version, bringing down the total to 57 obtainable Pokémon in the international versions.

In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], there are 130 obtainable Pokémon outside of trades: the single [[starter Pokémon]] ({{p|Eevee}}), 1 [[Eeveelution]] (out of 5 [[Mutually exclusive Pokémon#Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|mutually exclusive]] options), [[List of Shadow Pokémon|83 Shadow Pokémon]], 36 evolutions of Shadow Pokémon, the 3 [[Johto]] [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Mt. Battle]], and the 6 evolutions of Johto starter Pokémon.

{{p|Ho-Oh}} can be obtained from [[Mt. Battle]] in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{p|Lugia}} can be caught in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}. Jirachi can be obtained from {{g|Channel}} in Europe or from the [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]] in America, while Celebi can be obtained from the Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc in Japan.

===Generation IV===
In [[Generation IV]], there are 493 Pokémon.

In the core series, 484 Pokémon are available in-game and 9 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}). Prior to the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} were also event-exclusive. Additionally, a {{p|Manaphy}} {{pkmn|Egg}} may be transferred from any of the three [[Pokémon Ranger series]] games, and {{p|Phione}} may be bred from Manaphy.

Pokémon from the Generation III games may be [[transfer]]red to Generation IV via the [[Pal Park]].

Aside from {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regigigas}}, all non-event Pokémon from Generations I–IV are available in the Generation IV games and don't require the Pal Park. A Regigigas may be caught in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum if the player already has Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. Conversely, Regirock, Regice, and Registeel may be caught in Platinum if the player already has a [[fateful encounter]] Regigigas. The only way to obtain these Pokémon without events is to transfer the trio of [[Legendary giants]] from the Generation III games via the Pal Park and use them to obtain Regigigas.

====Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum====
{{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} together have all the Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] (which has 150 Pokémon in these games), aside from the event-exclusive {{p|Manaphy}}. {{game|Platinum}} is missing some Pokémon from the Sinnoh Pokédex (which has 210 Pokémon in this game) that can be found in either Diamond or Pearl.

{{p|Spiritomb}} may be caught in the [[Hallowed Tower]] in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, but only after the player speaks with other players in the [[Underground]] at least 32 times. They need to be connected via the wireless features of the Nintendo DS. In this generation, the [[Pokéwalker]] is the only other place where Spiritomb is available.

The [[dual-slot mode]] causes some additional wild Pokémon to appear in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum if a [[Game Boy Advance]] cartridge is inserted in the [[Nintendo DS]] system. This is not possible on the [[Nintendo DSi]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] systems, which lack a GBA slot. However, all Pokémon available from the dual-slot mode are also available (without the dual-slot mode) in HeartGold or SoulSilver.

Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}}, Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}}, and all appliance forms of {{p|Rotom}} were introduced in Platinum and are also compatible with HeartGold and SoulSilver, but they are incompatible with Diamond and Pearl.

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
{{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} together have all the Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Generation IV Johto Pokédex]] (which has 256 Pokémon in this generation), except for the event-exclusive {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}. Alternatively, most Pokémon from the Johto Pokédex can be transferred from the Generation III games, except {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}} used to be event-exclusive in Generation III, and there are 5 new evolutions introduced to the Johto Pokédex in Generation IV.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, there is no [[special magnetic field]], [[Moss Rock]], or [[Ice Rock]]. For this reason, {{p|Magnezone}}, {{p|Probopass}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}} cannot be obtained via [[evolution]]. Those evolved Pokémon are unavailable except by trading from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

[[Spiky-eared Pichu]] is event-exclusive. The {{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu}} was a {{Shiny}} Pichu distributed via events in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, but if it is traded with HeartGold or SoulSilver and taken to [[Ilex Forest]], then the player will obtain Spiky-eared Pichu. This can still occur even if Pikachu-colored Pichu evolves. The Spiky-eared Pichu is only available in HeartGold and SoulSilver and is unable to be traded or transferred to any other games. Only one Spiky-eared Pichu is available per game in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

[[List of Pokémon found through the Pokéwalker|Some Pokémon can be found]] through the [[Pokéwalker]], a pedometer device that was shipped with and is able to communicate with HeartGold and SoulSilver. Some Pokémon obtained from the Pokéwalker cannot be found normally in HeartGold and SoulSilver (such as {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Feebas}}, and {{p|Wailmer}}). However, all Pokémon from the Pokéwalker may be normally found in multiple Generation IV games (the ones unavailable from HeartGold and SoulSilver may be found in Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum), so the Pokéwalker is not required to find any Pokémon in this generation.

{{p|Rayquaza}} can be caught in the [[Embedded Tower]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver, but only after the player trades with the opposite version to obtain a {{p|Kyogre}} or {{p|Groudon}}.

===Generation V===
In [[Generation V]], there are 649 Pokémon.

In the core series, 636 Pokémon are available in-game and 13 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, and {{p|Genesect}}). Prior to the release of {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} were also event-exclusive.

Pokémon from Generation IV may be [[transfer]]red to Generation V via [[Poké Transfer]] (including any Pokémon previously transferred from Generation III). Some Pokémon were also available from the now-defunct [[Dream World]].

All non-event Pokémon that cannot be obtained in Generation V without Poké Transfer may be found in Generation IV (since Generation IV includes almost all of the non-event Pokémon from the previous generations). Some Pokémon available in the Dream World are not available anywhere else in Generation V (such as {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Diglett}}), but may be transferred from Generation IV as well.

====Pokémon Black and White====
{{game|Black and White|s}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the first version of the Unova Pokédex (which has a total of {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Black and White|156 Pokémon}}).

{{p|Landorus}} can be caught at the [[Abundant Shrine]] in both Black and White after the player trades with the opposite version to obtain {{p|Tornadus}} or {{p|Thundurus}}.

In Black and White, the [[Relocator]] may be used to transfer certain event Pokémon from the Generation IV games for the purpose of catching {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}. Zorua becomes available if the player transfers {{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Celebi}}, and Zoroark becomes available if the player transfers the {{Shiny}} [[Legendary beasts]] ({{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Raikou, Entei, and Suicune}}).

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
{{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the second version of the Unova Pokédex (which was expanded to a total of {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Black 2 and White 2|301 Pokémon}}).

{{p|Kyurem|White Kyurem, Black Kyurem}}, the Therian Forms of the [[Forces of Nature]] (Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus), and Resolute Form {{p|Keldeo}} were introduced in Black 2 and White 2, and are incompatible with Black and White. Additionally, all of these forms except for Keldeo's cannot be traded at all; due to this and the way that the [[DNA Splicers]] work, it is impossible to own both White Kyurem and Black Kyurem at the same time, and it is also impossible to own more than one Black Kyurem or more than one White Kyurem at once.

In Black 2 and White 2, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} can be caught in the [[Underground Ruins]]. However, Regice only appears in Black 2 if the player receives the Iceberg [[Key System|Key]] from White 2 via [[Unova Link]], while Registeel only appears in White 2 if the player receives the Iron Key from Black 2 via Unova Link. {{p|Regigigas}} can then be caught in [[Twist Mountain]] only if the player has Regirock, Regice and Registeel, so Regigigas also requires trading or using Unova Link to obtain without using Poké Transfer.

{{p|Stunky}} and {{p|Glameow}} are available via a special [[Funfest Mission]] that can only be hosted in Black 2 or White 2, respectively. However, the opposite version can still obtain the other Pokémon by joining the Funfest Mission.

Certain Pokémon that can be caught in Black 2 and White 2 are found only in the [[Nature Preserve]], which is only accessible by seeing all non-event Pokémon in the New Unova Pokédex (most notably, {{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Gyarados}}, otherwise available only by purchasing a Magikarp from the [[Magikarp salesman]], are available to catch at the Nature Preserve). Accessing the Nature Preserve requires trading, as it is impossible to see all stages of whichever starter was not picked by the player nor by [[Hugh]], as well as some of the version-exclusive Pokémon not being used by any NPC Trainers.

===Generation VI===
In [[Generation VI]], there are 721 Pokémon.

In the core series, 706 Pokémon are available in-game and 15 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, and {{p|Volcanion}}). Prior to the release of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, {{p|Deoxys}} was also event-exclusive.

Pokémon from Generation V can be [[transfer]]red one-way to the {{g|Bank}} via the [[Poké Transporter]] (including any Pokémon previously transferred from Generations III and IV). Once in Pokémon Bank, these Pokémon can be withdrawn to the Generation VI games. However, Pokémon that have been in a Generation VII game and or that were sent from the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] games cannot be withdrawn to Generation VI.

All non-event Pokémon from Generations I–VI may be found in Generation VI without requiring use of Pokémon Bank. However, in the Generation VI games, {{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} may only be found in their Spring Form. Other forms can only be obtained by transferring them from the Generation V games.

====Pokémon X and Y====
{{g|X and Y}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the three [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos Pokédexes]] (which have a total of 457 Pokémon; most are from previous generations, though all Generation VI Pokémon are found in the Kalos Pokédexes).

In Pokémon X and Y, several Pokémon are available from the [[Friend Safari]], which contains various areas that are unlocked based on the friends registered on the player's [[Nintendo 3DS]]. However, all Pokémon found in the Friend Safari are also available elsewhere in X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire.

====Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire====
{{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the {{gdis|List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|VI|Generation VI Hoenn Pokédex}} (which has 211 Pokémon; all of them are from previous generations) and several other Pokémon as well.

Some [[Mega Evolution]]s, [[Primal Reversion]], the [[Cosplay Pikachu]], and {{p|Hoopa}} {{form|Hoopa|Unbound}} were introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and are incompatible with Pokémon X and Y. Only one Cosplay Pikachu is available per game; it is unable to evolve, and it cannot be traded or transferred to any other games.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, several Pokémon can be found in the [[Mirage spot]]s, which may appear and disappear and are accessible by [[soaring in the sky]]. Some Mirage spots contain a [[Legendary Pokémon]] from a previous generation, and appear if the player meets a certain condition (such as having certain Pokémon in their [[party]], or having any [[level]] 100 Pokémon in their party). There are also 32 daily Mirage spots that contain multiple non-Legendary Pokémon. Only one daily Mirage spot appears on each day, unless the player receives additional Mirage spots via [[StreetPass]].

====Friend Safari and Mirage spots====
In the Generation VI games, the Pokémon below (and their evolutionary families, via evolution or breeding) can only be found in the [[Friend Safari]]{{sup/6|XY}} and in the random daily Mirage spots{{sup/6|ORAS}}. They may or may not be available at a certain point in time, until the player waits for the correct day, receives the correct Mirage spot via StreetPass, or unlocks the correct area in the Friend Safari.

Available in both the Friend Safari and the daily Mirage spots:

* {{p|Venomoth}}
* {{p|Chansey}} (Friend Safari), {{p|Happiny}} (Mirage spots)
* {{p|Tangela}}
* {{p|Electabuzz}} (Friend Safari), {{p|Elekid}} (Mirage spots)

* {{p|Munna}}
* {{p|Zebstrika}}
* {{p|Excadrill}}
* {{p|Petilil}}
* {{p|Maractus}}
* {{p|Minccino}}
* {{p|Klink}} (Mirage spots), {{p|Klang}} (Friend Safari)
* {{p|Vullaby}}
* {{p|Larvesta}}

Available in the daily Mirage spots but not in the Friend Safari:

* {{p|Persian}}
* {{p|Porygon}}
* {{p|Unown}}
* {{p|Stantler}}
* {{p|Kricketune}}
* {{p|Cherrim}}
* {{p|Glameow}}, {{p|Purugly}}
* {{p|Darmanitan}}
* {{p|Cofagrigus}}
* {{p|Tynamo}}

===Generation VII===
In [[Generation VII]], there are 809 Pokémon. Prior to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], there were 807 Pokémon. Prior to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, there were 802 Pokémon. There are also 18 [[Alolan form]]s available in all games of this generation.

====Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon====
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, 786 Pokémon are available in-game and 16 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, and {{p|Marshadow}}).

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, some new Pokémon species and forms were introduced which are incompatible with Sun and Moon. 790 Pokémon are available in-game (the same as in Sun and Moon, with the additions of {{p|Poipole}}, {{p|Naganadel}}, {{p|Stakataka}}, and {{p|Blacephalon}}) and 17 Pokémon are event-exclusive (the same as in Sun and Moon, with the addition of {{p|Zeraora}}). The {{form|Necrozma|Dusk Mane, Dawn Wings, and Ultra forms}} of {{p|Necrozma}}, as well as the event-only {{DL|Pikachu in a cap|Partner Cap Pikachu}} and {{form|Lycanroc|Dusk Form}} {{p|Lycanroc}} were introduced in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon as well.

{{p|Celebi}} used to be event-exclusive as well in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon prior to the [[Virtual Console]] release of {{game|Crystal}}.

Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon are compatible with the [[Pokémon Bank]]. This allows the one-way transfer of Pokémon from earlier generations into these games (since the [[Generation VI]] games are also compatible with the Pokémon Bank, while the [[Generation V]] games and the [[Virtual Console]] version of [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games can use the [[Poké Transporter]]).

Sun and Moon together, as well as Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon together, have all the non-event Pokémon from the Alola Pokédex (which has {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Sun and Moon|302 Pokémon}} in the first pair of games and was expanded to {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|403 Pokémon}} in the second pair of games). Some Pokémon outside the Alola Pokédex are also available in-game, but several other Pokémon from previous generations cannot be found in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, except by being transferred from earlier generations.

The Spring Form of {{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} can be transferred from Generation VI games while the other forms of both Pokémon can be transferred from Generation V games.

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the first 150 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] are available in-game (including their Alolan forms), and 3 additional Pokémon are available by other means: {{p|Mew}} by getting it from the [[Poké Ball Plus]] and {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}} by transferring them from {{g|GO}} via the [[GO Park]]. This pair of games is incompatible with all other Pokémon, and are the first core-series games to do so, which became the norm following later releases.

The {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and partner {{p|Eevee}} are exclusive to Let's Go, Pikachu! and Eevee!, respectively. Each game has only one partner Pikachu or Eevee; it cannot [[evolve]], and it cannot be traded or transferred to other games. However, regular Pikachu and Eevee are available in both games.

===Generation VIII===
In [[Generation VIII]], there are 905 Pokémon. When {{g|Sword and Shield}} were initially released, there were 890 Pokémon; 3 more debuted in [[The Isle of Armor]] (including the event-exclusive {{p|Zarude}}), 5 more debuted in [[The Crown Tundra]], and the remaining 7 debuted in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

No games in this generation feature every Pokémon. {{g|HOME}}, an application for storing and transferring Pokémon, is compatible with all 905 Pokémon; however, the games themselves are incompatible with certain Pokémon. These incompatible Pokémon cannot be obtained in the games in any way, including via transfer.

Pokémon in {{g|Bank}}, including those [[transfer]]red from previous generations, can be transferred to Pokémon HOME. Pokémon from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] can also be deposited into Pokémon HOME, and since November 10, 2020, it has been possible for Pokémon from {{g|GO}} to be transferred into Pokémon HOME via the [[GO Transporter]]. Additionally, some Pokémon have been directly {{gdis|List of game-based Pokémon distributions|VIII|distributed}} in Pokémon HOME, either as events or rewards for certain actions; most notably, the {{form|Magearna|Original Color}} {{p|Magearna}} is obtainable in HOME as a reward for completion of the [[National Pokédex]], which is the only way to obtain it, though it can only be obtained with events due to the fact that some of the Pokémon in the National Pokédex are event-exclusive.

Once in HOME, if a Pokémon is compatible with a Generation VIII game, it can be moved to that game. Additionally, Pokémon can be moved from Generation VIII games into HOME, allowing them to be exchanged between all of the generation's games. However, if a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] (besides {{p|Meltan}} or {{p|Melmetal}}) is transferred to HOME from Pokémon GO, then it cannot be deposited into a game unless the player has already obtained one of its species in that game. {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and {{g|Legends: Arceus}} were not compatible with Pokémon HOME until the Version 2.0.0 update, released on May 18, 2022.

====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
{{g|Sword and Shield}} are compatible with 664 Pokémon. Of these, 656 are available in-game and 8 are event-exclusive ({{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, {{p|Zeraora}}, and {{p|Zarude}}). Prior to the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], {{p|Keldeo}} was also event-exclusive; prior to {{g|HOME}} becoming compatible with {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Jirachi}} were also event-exclusive.

* At first, only 401 Pokémon were obtainable, consisting of the 400 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] and {{p|Mew}} from the [[Poké Ball Plus]]. Sword and Shield together have all 400 Pokémon in the Galar Pokédex.
* In version 1.1.0 of the games, [[Galarian form|Galarian]] {{p|Slowpoke}} was added and made available to catch at [[Wedgehurst Station]], increasing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 402.
* Ahead of the release of {{g|HOME}}, 6 additional Pokémon (the {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}} lines) were made available in event Max Raid Battles, raising the total to 408.
* Upon the release of {{g|HOME}}, 34 additional Pokémon were made available via transfer from previous generations (including the event-exclusive {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, and {{p|Zeraora}}), bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 436.
* In version 1.2.0 of the games, with the release of [[The Isle of Armor]], 103 additional Pokémon (including the event-exclusive {{p|Zarude}}) not present in the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] became available as part of a new [[List of Pokémon by Isle of Armor Pokédex number|Isle of Armor Pokédex]], and {{p|Magearna}} was made available via Pokémon HOME (albeit as an event-exclusive Pokémon), bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 540. Additionally, 15 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means. With The Isle of Armor, Sword and Shield together have all 211 Pokémon from the Isle of Armor Pokédex except for the event-exclusive Zarude, and also have {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}}, {{p|Popplio}}, and their evolutionary families.
* In version 1.3.0 of the games, with the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], 124 additional Pokémon (including the event-exclusive {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, and {{p|Volcanion}}) present in neither the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] nor the [[List of Pokémon by Isle of Armor Pokédex number|Isle of Armor Pokédex]] became obtainable, bringing the total to 664. Of these newly available Pokémon, 71 became available as part of a new [[List of Pokémon by Crown Tundra Pokédex number|Crown Tundra Pokédex]]. Additionally, 13 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means (including {{p|Keldeo}}, thus making it no longer event-exclusive). With The Crown Tundra, Sword and Shield together have all 210 Pokémon in the Crown Tundra Pokédex, as well as 59 others.

In total, Pokémon Sword and Shield together, including the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}, have 651 Pokémon, consisting of all of the Pokémon in the Galar, Isle of Armor, and Crown Tundra Pokédexes, besides the event-exclusive Zarude, and 68 others not in any of the three Pokédexes. The games are also compatible with 13 additional Pokémon (all of which are [[Mythical Pokémon]]) that are only obtainable via events or transferring them from other games: {{p|Mew}} (which is also available via the Poké Ball Plus), {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, {{p|Zeraora}}, {{p|Meltan}}, {{p|Melmetal}}, and {{p|Zarude}} (which is the only one of the 13 not obtainable via transfer from a previous generation). None of these are in any of the three Pokédexes in the games except Zarude, which is in the Isle of Armor Pokédex.

Pokémon Sword and Shield are also compatible with [[Galarian form|Galarian]] and [[Alolan form]]s. They feature all 19 Galarian forms, but due to some Pokémon with Alolan forms not being featured in the games, only 11 out of the 18 Alolan forms are present. All Alolan forms (that exist in the games) and original forms of Pokémon with Galarian forms are obtainable without requiring transfer from previous generations, though most require the Expansion Pass to obtain in this way.

* At first, 13 Galarian forms and no Alolan forms were available. Additionally, the original forms of {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Yamask}}, and {{p|Mr. Mime}} are obtainable via [[in-game trade]]s.
* {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}} was added and made available to catch at [[Wedgehurst Station]] in the version 1.1.0 update. However, it was initially unable to evolve.
* Upon the release of {{g|HOME}}, the Alolan forms of {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Dugtrio}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and {{p|Persian}} became available via [[transfer]] from previous games. Additionally, the original forms of all Pokémon with Galarian forms became available via transfer as well, with the exception of Slowpoke, which was unable to be transferred.
* With the release of [[The Isle of Armor]], due to the additions of {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, and {{p|Marowak}}, the Alolan forms of each have become available via transfer. Additionally, Slowpoke's original form was made available to transfer, as well as the rest of the Slowpoke line, and Galarian Slowpoke was made available to catch outside of Wedgehurst Station. Galarian {{p|Slowbro}} was also added, with Galarian Slowpoke now being able to evolve into it.
** The Isle of Armor also introduces an NPC named Regina, who appears in random locations on the [[Isle of Armor]] and will trade Alolan forms to the player in exchange for their original forms, or will trade the original forms of Pokémon in exchange for their Galarian forms. After she has been traded with, she will relocate to another position on the island and be available for another trade; it is possible for her to repeat the same trade an indefinite number of times. From Regina, the original forms of {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Ponyta}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Weezing}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Corsola}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Darumaka}}, and {{p|Stunfisk}} and the Alolan forms of {{p|Exeggutor}} and {{p|Marowak}} can be obtained without requiring transfer (as can the original forms of {{p|Rapidash}}, {{p|Linoone}}, and {{p|Darmanitan}} via evolution). However, trades for Farfetch'd and Darumaka are exclusive to Pokémon Sword, while trades for Ponyta and Corsola are exclusive to Pokémon Shield.
** The Isle of Armor also features a {{DL|Fields of Honor|Diglett Trainer}} who owns 151 Alolan Diglett that are scattered throughout the island. The player is tasked with finding these Diglett, and the Trainer will reward them with Pokémon, most of which are Alolan forms, when they reach certain milestones. From this Diglett Trainer, the following forms of Pokémon are obtainable without requiring transfer: Alolan {{p|Meowth}} (after finding 5 Diglett), regular {{p|Slowpoke}} (after finding 10 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Vulpix}} (after finding 20 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Sandshrew}} (after finding 30 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Raichu}} (after finding 40 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Marowak}} (after finding 50 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}} (after finding 75 Diglett), and Alolan {{p|Diglett}} (after finding all 151 Diglett). By evolving these Pokémon, the Alolan forms of {{p|Persian}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Sandslash}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} and the original forms of {{p|Slowbro}} and {{p|Slowking}} are also obtainable.
* With the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], the Galarian forms of {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} became available, as did their original forms via transfer. However, it is also possible to obtain the original forms of Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres without having to transfer them, as they are among the available [[Legendary Pokémon]] in [[Dynamax Adventure]]s. Galarian {{p|Slowking}} was also added, with Galarian Slowpoke now being able to evolve into it.

====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
{{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} are compatible with 493 Pokémon, consisting of every Pokémon from the first four [[generation]]s, as in the original {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.

*491 Pokémon are obtainable in-game; of them, 1 ({{p|Arceus}}) is only obtainable via [[save data bonus]]es or [[transfer]], 4 ({{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, and {{p|Shaymin}}) are only obtainable via transfer or events, and 2 ({{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}) are only obtainable via transfer. The remaining 2 Pokémon ({{p|Mew}} and {{p|Jirachi}}) are obtainable via save data bonuses.
**In order to obtain {{p|Mew}}, the player must have save data from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!]] on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met, a {{tc|Gentleman}} in [[Floaroma Town]] will {{pkmn2|gift}} the player a Mew when spoken to.
**In order to obtain {{p|Jirachi}}, the player must have save data from {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword or Shield}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met, a {{tc|Madame}} in [[Floaroma Town]] will gift the player a Jirachi when spoken to.
**In order to obtain {{p|Arceus}} without transfer, the player must have save data from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system, and they must have completed all of said game's 27 story [[Task|missions]] within this save data. If this requirement is met and the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]] and obtained the [[National Pokédex]], they can obtain the [[Azure Flute]] in their [[Player's house|house]] in [[Twinleaf Town]], which can then be used at [[Spear Pillar]] to access the [[Hall of Origin]] and {{pkmn|battle}} and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Arceus. This is only possible in Version 1.3.0 or later.
**A [[Manaphy Egg]] was distributed through [[Mystery Gift]] via the Internet from November 19, 2021 to February 21, 2022. This {{pkmn|Egg}} can hatch into {{p|Manaphy}}, which can be {{pkmn|breeding|bred}} with {{p|Ditto}} to produce {{p|Phione}}.
**[[Oak's Letter]] was distributed through [[Mystery Gift]] via the Internet from February 27, 2022 to March 27, 2022. If the player brings this item to {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}, they can gain access to [[Flower Paradise]], where {{p|Shaymin}} can be encountered.
**The [[Member Card]] was distributed through [[Mystery Gift]] via the Internet from April 1, 2022 to April 30, 2022. If the player brings this item to the inn in [[Canalave City]], they can gain access to [[Newmoon Island]], where {{p|Darkrai}} can be encountered.

====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
{{g|Legends: Arceus}} is compatible with 242 Pokémon. This includes all Pokémon that debuted in [[Generation IV]].

*240 Pokémon are obtainable in-game, and the remaining 2 Pokémon ({{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}) are exclusive to [[save data bonus]]es.
**In order to obtain {{p|Darkrai}}, the player must have save data from {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met and the main story of Legends: Arceus has been completed, the {{DL|Task|Requests|request}} "The Darksome Nightmare" will become available, in which a Darkrai can be caught.
**In order to obtain {{p|Shaymin}}, the player must have save data from {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword or Shield}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met and the main story of Legends: Arceus has been completed, the {{DL|Task|Requests|request}} "A Token of Gratitude" will become available, in which a Shaymin can be caught.

In total, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is compatible with 369 [[forms]], including all 17 new {{rf|Hisuian|Form}}s. All Hisuian forms replace their original forms, except in the case of {{p|Sneasel}}, where both forms are included. 242 forms make up unique species, with an additional 59 forms being the result of [[gender differences]]. In addition to this, there are a further 27 {{p|Unown}}, 5 {{p|Rotom}}, 2 {{p|Burmy}} and 2 {{p|Wormadam}} forms; and a further 6 forms accounted by West/East Sea {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, Alolan/Original {{p|Vulpix}} and {{p|Ninetales}}, Hisuian/Original {{p|Sneasel}}, and Overcast/Sunshine {{p|Cherrim}}. The remaining 26 forms, not yet counted, consist of 18 separate {{p|Arceus}} forms, as well as alternate forms for {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, {{p|Enamorus}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}} and {{p|Shaymin}}. Cherrim cannot appear in its Sunshine form when stored and Legend Plate Arceus appears as Blank Plate Arceus when stored. Legend Plate Arceus also does not count as a separate form entry in the Pokédex. Heights and weights for gender differences, except {{p|Basculegion}}, are not recorded separately in the Pokédex.

All forms can be obtained as [[alpha]] Pokémon except Alolan Vulpix, Alolan Ninetales, and those of the 18 in-game [[Legendary]] and [[Mythical]] Pokémon, totaling 46 forms excluded. All alpha Pokémon are the largest possible specimens for their species except {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Steelix}}, {{p|Rhyperior}} and Hisuian {{p|Avalugg}}. Only one Alolan Vulpix (or Alolan Ninetales), and only one of each of the in-game Legendary and Mythical Pokémon (except {{p|Phione}}) can be obtained (and only in their average size) without transferring.

All forms and their alpha equivalents can be {{Shiny}}; however, Alolan Vulpix, Alolan Ninetales, and the in-game Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are Shiny-locked and thus cannot be obtained Shiny without transferring them into the game. Shiny {{p|Enamorus}} is not currently legally obtainable as a result. Additionally, several {{OBP|List of in-game event Pokémon|Legends: Arceus|in-game event Pokémon}} are Shiny-locked, but can be captured in the wild Shiny.

Following the introduction of {{g|HOME}} compatibility, the ability to transfer alpha Pokémon to other [[Generation VIII]] games became available. A consequence of this is an alpha Pokémon can be evolved into a different [[regional form]] (or species) not compatible with Pokémon Legends: Arceus, giving rise to 9 HOME-exclusive alpha forms: the original forms of {{p|Typhlosion}}, {{p|Lilligant}}, {{p|Braviary}}, {{p|Sliggoo}}, {{p|Goodra}}, {{p|Avalugg}}, {{p|Decidueye}}; the Galarian form of {{p|Mr. Mime}}; and {{p|Mr. Rime}}. A 10th HOME-exclusive alpha form became available following the {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}-HOME compatibility update: the original form of {{p|Samurott}}; however, the alpha icon no longer displays for the HOME-exclusive alphas. Instead, an alpha mark is obtained if any alpha is transferred to Scarlet and Violet. All HOME-exclusive alpha forms except the Galarian form of {{p|Mr. Mime}} and {{p|Mr. Rime}} can be transferred and therefore obtain the alpha mark.

Before {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} received integration with [[Pokémon HOME]] in HOME v3.0.0, Pokémon originating from {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} or earlier that were then transferred into Legends: Arceus received minimum [[Size and weight variation|heights and weights]] (values of 0, as prior to {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} height and weight were not generated as distinct values); following the update, randomized heights and weights will be assigned to them instead, provided they haven't been assigned a size already by being transferred to another [[Generation VIII]] or {{gen|IX}} game.

===Generation IX===
In [[Generation IX]], there are 1017 Pokémon, but not all of them are obtainable.

====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
{{g|Scarlet and Violet}} are compatible with 733 Pokémon. Of these, 692 are available in-game, 5 are event-exclusive ({{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Zarude}}, and {{p|Pecharunt}}), and the remaining 36 are only obtainable by transferring from {{g|HOME}} or through limited-time Tera Raids or other events.

* At first, only 402 Pokémon were obtainable, consisting of the 400 Pokémon from the Paldea Pokédex as well as {{p|Quagsire}} and {{p|Perrserker}} from in-game events. Scarlet and Violet together have all 400 Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex.
* Ahead of {{g|HOME}} being made compatible with Scarlet and Violet, the {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Scorbunny}}, {{p|Froakie}}, {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Sobble}}, and {{p|Chespin}} lines became available in Black Crystal [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, raising the total to 426.

'''Stantler''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オドシシ''' ''Odoshishi'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

In [[Hisui]], Stantler evolves into {{p|Wyrdeer}}.

==Biology==
Stantler is a quadrupedal, {{wp|caribou}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a tan pelt with a cream-colored belly and a few spots on its back. Its tail is large, short, and round, and each of its legs ends in a black hoof. It has a large, brown nose and a pair of pale cream-colored antlers, each with a black orb in the center. The shape of the antlers and the black orbs causes them to resemble eyes. Stantler can distort reality and create illusions with its antlers by subtly changing the flow of air around them. Staring into them creates an odd sensation, as if one is being sucked through them, and one may become so dizzy that it is impossible to stand.

Its strange antlers are very valuable artifacts to {{pkmn|poacher|Pokémon hunters}}. The species was nearly driven to extinction for its beautiful antlers. Additionally, the round balls found on the fallen antlers can be ground into a powder that aids in sleeping. Stantler live in herds in temperate, mountainous {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}. As shown [[EP125|in the anime]], a baby Stantler that is separated from its herd and frightened will instinctively produce an illusion of a big, stampeding herd to scare away perceived threats.

In ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'', [[Bewilder Forest]] was home to multiple Stantler. Some of the Stantler used {{m|Hypnosis}} on travelers, giving them various hallucinations.

==Trivia==
* Stantler is found on {{rt|36|Johto}}, which leads to [[Violet City]], the game counterpart of {{wp|Nara, Nara|Nara, Japan}}, a city where many tame deer roam freely.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Stantler}}
Stantler seems to be based on a number of deer species, such as the {{wp|sika deer}}, {{wp|reindeer}}, {{wp|elk}}, or {{wp|moose}}. It may also be based on 鹿威し ''shishiodoshi'' or "deer scare", a Japanese device traditionally used to scare deer and {{wp|bird}}s away from gardens.

====Name origin====
Stantler may be a combination of ''{{wp|deer|stag}}'' or ''stare'' and ''antler''.

Odoshishi may be derived from 鹿威し ''shishiodoshi''.

'''Legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|伝説|でんせつ}}のポケモン''' ''Legendary Pokémon'') are a group of incredibly rare and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, generally featured prominently in the legends and myths of the Pokémon world.

[[Mythical Pokémon]] are a related but separate group of Pokémon, which are usually {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive. Prior to [[Generation V]], Mythical Pokémon were considered to be Legendary Pokémon in non-Japanese media.

No explicit criteria defines what makes a Pokémon a Legendary Pokémon. Instead, the only way to identify a Pokémon as belonging to this group is through statements from official media, such as the {{pkmn|games}} or {{pkmn|anime}}. Currently, while {{p|Type: Null}} and [[Ultra Beast]]s have some similarities to Legendary Pokémon, it has not been explicitly confirmed whether or not they are Legendary Pokémon; however, if the player chooses to filter out people seeking Mythical or Legendary Pokémon on the [[Global Trade System]], people seeking these Pokémon will not be displayed.

==Characteristics of Legendary Pokémon==
Aside from the high [[statistic]]s shared by most Legendary Pokémon, many can only be obtained once per save file (excluding [[Event Pokémon|Pokémon events]]); in order to obtain multiple, a player would need to trade for one.

The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions: {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}). In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. With the exception of {{p|Cosmog}} and its evolutionary family, Legendary Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although many are able to [[List of Pokémon with form differences|change form]] and are part of a [[Legendary duo|duo]] or [[Legendary trio|trio]].

Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them.

===In the anime===
Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are worshipped as {{wp|deity|gods}} by particular groups of people. In the anime they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity.

Trainers using Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that they have in [[Poké Ball]]s, or even as a non-owned Pokémon, is not unheard of. {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. Likewise, {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} in the anime owned the three {{TP|Brandon|legendary titans}} in Poké Balls and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} owned the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Darkrai}} and the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}}. In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], another Trainer owned a {{p|Heatran}}. Finally, a [[Nurse Joy]] who visited the Pewter Gym under assignment of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] kept a {{p|Latias}} in a Poké Ball.

In the anime, there are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}}.

==List of Legendary Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 48 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (48/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.

===Generation I===
Four Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], with one trio and one standalone Legendary Pokémon.

====Legendary birds====
{{main|Legendary birds}}
[[File:Legendary birds.png|thumb|right|270px|{{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Moltres}}; art from a [[Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos (Warner Bros. promo)|TCG card]] by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]]]]
The three Legendary birds, also known as the Winged Mirages, are the resident [[Legendary trio]] of the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based on a mythical bird, and each is associated with a [[Seasons|season]] (though none of the three is associated with autumn).

In the games, all three are available in the Kanto region in all of its appearances except for [[Generation II]]. {{p|Articuno}} takes up residence in the [[Seafoam Islands]] in the south, {{p|Zapdos}} in the [[Kanto Power Plant|Power Plant]] (next to it in Generation IV) in the east, and {{p|Moltres}} in a variety of places, {{ka|Victory Road}}, [[Mt. Ember]], or [[Mt. Silver]], depending on the generation. In {{game|Platinum}}, they are also found {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Sinnoh]]. One also appears in Generation VI {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Kalos]] before heading to the [[Sea Spirit's Den]], where it can be battled and caught.

In the anime, the Legendary birds appear together in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', in which they rule over the islands surrounding [[Shamouti Island]]. If they are disturbed and begin to fight, only {{OBP|Lugia|M02}} can stop them, though it will fail without additional help from the Chosen One. Separately, Articuno appears in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'', and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', while Zapdos appears in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]'', and ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]''.
{{-}}

====Mewtwo====
[[File:150Mewtwo.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Mewtwo}}]]
Mewtwo is a catlike Pokémon which is an enhanced clone of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. Mewtwo has two [[Mega Evolution]]s, which increase its [[base stat]] total to 780.

In the games, Mewtwo was too powerful for its creators and escaped from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, wrecking it in the process. Mewtwo then made its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.

In the anime, {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} was featured prominently, appearing in several episodes of the [[original series]], [[M01|the first movie]], and [[Mewtwo Returns|the first special episode]]. In the anime, Mewtwo was created by a group of scientists funded by [[Team Rocket]] boss {{an|Giovanni}} to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Although Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, after [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and it learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, despite being a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, he and the other clones are no different to normal Pokémon, and because it erased Ash and his friends' memory at the end of their first meeting, realizes that Ash himself truly does care for others, even if he doesn't know them.

In the anime, another {{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} appeared in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', who also appeared as Mega Mewtwo Y.
{{-}}

===Generation II===
More Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding five more Legendary Pokémon for a running total of 9. The Legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into a trio and a duo.

====Legendary beasts====
{{main|Legendary beasts}}
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|250px|[[Eusine]] and {{ga|Lyra}} discover {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} in the basement of the [[Burned Tower]]]]
Like the Legendary birds of the previous generation, a second trio of similar types was introduced in the neighboring [[Johto]] region. These Legendary beasts, so named because their features are based on many different creatures, both real and mythical, as well as mythological deities, were trapped in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death. The trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power. It is unknown whether the three were already a Suicune, Raikou, and Entei when they died, or whether they were simply three non-Legendary Pokémon, and Ho-Oh reincarnated them as the first Legendary beasts. In the case of the latter, it is possible that these three would be the original three beasts, who created multiple descendants. For example, a new Entei is said to be born whenever a new volcano is formed.

In the games, more than one of each exists, with only the trio that roams Johto after being discovered in Brass Tower's basement during [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] being that of the legend. Each was captured and changed into a [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] in {{g|Colosseum}}, while one of the three, depending on the player's [[starter Pokémon]] choice, roams Kanto in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{p|Entei}} for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Raikou}} for {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Suicune}} for {{p|Charmander}}.

In the anime, the Legendary beasts did not appear together until [[M13|the thirteenth movie]], despite being introduced in Generation II. It appears that an initial plan for the three Johto-era {{pkmn|movie}}s was to have each feature one of the Legendary beasts in a central role, with {{OBP|Entei|M03}} taking a central role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'' and {{OBP|Suicune|M04}} taking the stage in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. This did not pan out, however, possibly due to the canning of Johto's {{p|Celebi}} plotline, and Raikou was relegated to a role in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', featuring anime characters based on {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}, rather than [[M05|the fifth movie]], which focused on Legendary Pokémon from the then-upcoming [[Generation III]] instead.

Each of the beasts made an episodic appearance, as well, with Entei appearing in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', Raikou briefly appearing in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', and Suicune having the most prominence (as in the games) through its appearance in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'', ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'', and ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!]]''.

====Tower duo====
{{main|Tower duo}}
[[File:Lugia and ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}]]
The first [[game mascot]]s that were also Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are a pair of Legendary birds which formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]] atop tall towers, leading to their designation. However, when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]], the home of Lugia, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, they both flew away, Lugia resolving to make its new home in the [[Whirl Islands]] and Ho-Oh to search the world for a pure-hearted Trainer. The two are thought to be as closely related as they are polar opposites, being based on the eastern legends of the {{wp|Fènghuáng}} and {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

In the games, Lugia does not play a central role in the Generation II storyline, instead being mentioned only as having lived in Ecruteak City before the Brass Tower burned. It is found in the Whirl Islands in the Generation II games and their {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|remakes}} if the player holds a {{key|IV|Silver Wing}}. It reaches prominence in the storyline of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, in which [[Shadow Lugia|one]] is corrupted by [[Cipher]] to become the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], unable to be purified. It is also available on [[Navel Rock]] in Generation III, as an event-exclusive Legendary Pokémon.

In the anime, Lugia is featured in a central role in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', in which it is revealed that {{Ash}} is the Chosen One who must help it to quell the fighting of the [[Legendary birds]]. Another pair of them appeared when Ash and his friends traveled to the Whirl Islands in Johto. Likewise, in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', {{OBP|Latios|M05}} was stated to have a father. This implies that some Legendary Pokémon can breed in the wild.

Ho-Oh has a much greater focus during Generation II, being named as the creator of the Legendary beasts. It can be found, if the player has a {{key|IV|Rainbow Wing}}, atop the [[Bell Tower]] in the Generation II games and their remakes. It makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}}, as well, as a reward for purifying all Shadow Pokémon and clearing [[Mt. Battle]]'s 100-battle challenge, and on [[Navel Rock]] like Lugia.

In the anime, {{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first Legendary Pokémon that appeared (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow as [[Ash Ketchum]] started his journey, at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it. Ho-Oh featured in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' in a prominent role.
{{-}}

===Generation III===
Many more Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the eight new Legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 17. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the core series games, with the [[villainous teams]] plotting to reawaken the ancient Legendary Pokémon for their own use.

Many of the stories regarding the legendaries were slightly changed, or given a new perspective in the [[remakes]] of the first Generation III core series games, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Five of them also received new forms.

====Legendary titans====
{{main|Legendary titans}}
[[File:Legendary titans.png|thumb|right|250px|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]
This third trio of Legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, is featured minimally in [[Hoenn]] legend. This Legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, is commonly considered to have the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.

As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the titans, which is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and finally completed in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Long ago, an ancient Pokémon, {{p|Regigigas}}, was said to have moved the continents into their present positions by pulling them with ropes. After it was finished, it created in its image three Pokémon: {{p|Regirock}}, from clay, {{p|Regice}}, from ice, and {{p|Registeel}}, from magma. Ancient people, seeing that the Pokémon was so powerful, sealed it away in the [[Snowpoint Temple]], while those it had created were separated from it and taken to the Hoenn region, sealed in three chambers, and left in the hopes that one day, someone would unlock the chambers and be able to tame the three so as to tame Regigigas. They are available in the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Island Cave]], and [[Ancient Tomb]] in Hoenn; as well as the [[Rock Peak Ruins]], [[Iceberg Ruins]], [[Iron Ruins]] in [[Sinnoh]] with an event {{p|Regigigas}}; and the [[Underground Ruins]] in [[Unova]].

In the anime, the [[Legendary titans (M08)|three Legendary titans]] starred together guarding the [[Tree of Beginning]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', as well as members of {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s team in the Battle Frontier saga.
{{-}}
====Eon duo====
{{main|Eon duo}}
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]
While {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not have a distinct legend behind them, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available in normal gameplay and the other available through an event.

Latios and Latias take on counterpart availability in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} as well as {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with Latios being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in Ruby and SoulSilver, and Latias doing the same in Sapphire and HeartGold. In Emerald, after the player has defeated the Elite Four, their mother will ask if the Pokémon mentioned on TV was red or blue, and depending on that, one of the two will be roaming Hoenn. The other member of the duo will be found on [[Southern Island]], accessible by [[Eon Ticket]], in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, and in [[Pewter City]], through the [[Enigma Stone]] event, in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In Generation VI, Latias and Latios gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Eon duo plays a much larger role in the main game's plot. They sense the grave danger Hoenn is about to face from the actions of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, and while the {{player}} is talking to {{Steven}} on the east side of {{rt|118|Hoenn}}, {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} appears before the two, asking for their help. The player and Steven ride the Eon Pokémon to protect its counterpart from {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}{{sup/6|AS}} and their subordinate. After the fight {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} joins the player's party, holding its respective [[Mega Stone]]. Noticing the Mega Stone, Steven also gives the player a [[Key Stone|Mega Bracelet]]. After defeating Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, the player receives an item called the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} from Steven, highlighting the special bond between the two. The items enables the player to summon the Eon Pokémon and use it to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] through the skies of Hoenn.

In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', in which the two guarded the city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{OBP|Annie|M05}} and [[Oakley]], who wished to steal it. In the main series, {{si|Tobias}} used a Latios against Ash, as his second Pokémon in the first semi-final battle of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. A [[Nurse Joy]] had a Latias when testing the Pewter Gym in [[SS025]]. Both Latios and Latias appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''; in this film, both of them were capable of Mega Evolution.
{{-}}

====Weather trio====
{{main|Weather trio}}
[[File:Weather trio.png|250px|thumb|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]
This trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known as the weather trio due to their [[weather]]-related [[Ability|Abilities]], serve as the [[game mascot]]s of {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and are the first Legendary trio to all be game mascots. The trio represents the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to have expanded the land and sea, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful Legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.

During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on the version, seeks out Groudon or Kyogre respectively, with the intention of awakening them to make more homes for Pokémon of the land or sea. Eventually, the plan goes wrong, and the player is forced to defeat or capture the Legendary Pokémon to stop a global disaster. In {{game|Emerald}}, instead, both teams are on the loose, intending to awaken their respective Legendary Pokémon, and only by interference from the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.

The three members of the trio received new forms in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Rayquaza is now able to Mega Evolve, and Groudon and Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] while holding their respective Orb. Primal Reversion is considered the opposite of Mega Evolution. The latter is the outcome of the connection between Pokémon and human, and the former is derived solely from the Pokémon itself. While Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} are again sought by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, Rayquaza is the target of a mysterious girl named [[Zinnia]] during the post game plot called Delta Episode.

In the game, their history is revealed: Thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless furious clashes. In the face of Primal Groudon and Kyogre's great power, people could do nothing. But Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayqauza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.

In the anime, Groudon and Kyogre appeared in the two-part episode consisting of ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''. In these episodes, Team Magma and Team Aqua finally succeed in awakening the two, as in the games, though their conflict is resolved very quickly. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}. The weather trio all made a starring appearance in their Primal/Mega Forms in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', engaging in a violent clash with many other legendaries.

===Generation IV===
Nine more Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]], bringing the total to 26 Legendary Pokémon. Many of the Legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-[[Hall of Fame]] sidequests for the player to go on. Three of the newly introduced Legendary Pokémon (four prior to the {{game|Platinum}} expansion of the Pokédex) are not in the Sinnoh [[regional Pokédex]], appearing only in the [[National Pokédex]].

====Lake guardians====
{{main|Lake guardians}}
[[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|205px|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} in the anime]]
The lake guardians, [[Sinnoh]]'s native Legendary trio, represent the spirit of all consciousness, with {{p|Uxie}} embodying knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} embodying emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} embodying willpower. According to legend, having been created by {{p|Arceus|the Original One}}, the trio have the power to tame the powerful dragons it also created.

In the games, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf are found in the caverns of [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Verity]], and [[Lake Valor]], though Mesprit will roam Sinnoh after the player has encountered it, rather than battle immediately as the other two will. The trio are captured by [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, [[Jupiter]], [[Mars]], and [[Saturn]], and subjected to the experiments of [[Charon]] to draw out the [[Red Chain]] from the gems in their bodies. [[Cyrus]] summons {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, and alone, the lake guardians' power is not enough to stop them. {{p|Giratina}} interferes and draws Cyrus into the Distortion World, where the lake guardians assist the player in navigation through Giratina's lair.

In the anime, the lake guardians appeared, first in spirit form, in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]'', and ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', to {{an|Dawn}}, {{Ash}}, and {{an|Brock}}. They were captured by [[J]], who had been hired by [[Team Galactic]], in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', and were freed by Ash, Dawn, and Brock to stop the power of Dialga and Palkia in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''.
{{-}}
====Creation trio====
{{main|Creation trio}}
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|200px|thumb|left|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The Legendary creators of the Pokémon universe, the creation trio consists of {{p|Dialga}} of time, {{p|Palkia}} of space, and {{p|Giratina}} of antimatter. Like the weather trio before them, they each serve as the mascots of [[Sinnoh]]'s trio of games, {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

In the games, Dialga and Palkia are sought by [[Cyrus]] to destroy and then remake the universe without spirit, a feature he hates about humanity. In Diamond and Pearl, Dialga or Palkia can be caught at [[Spear Pillar]], while Giratina may be obtained after the Pokémon League has been conquered. In Platinum, however, Giratina interferes with Cyrus's planned destruction of the universe, and may be captured in its home, the [[Distortion World]], while Dialga and Palkia cannot be found until the Elite Four have been defeated.

In the anime, {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} appeared together, fighting in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', while Dialga and {{mov|Giratina}} appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. The three appeared together in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' and ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. Dialga and Palkia were also summoned at the Spear Pillar and chained by Cyrus in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', but were freed when he escaped into another universe and the Red Chain was shattered by Ash, Dawn, Brock, and their Pokémon.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only, Dialga and Palkia were referenced as "mythical Pokémon" (Japanese: 神話のポケモン ''mythical Pokémon''); however, this pre-dates the term [[Mythical Pokémon]] (Japanese: 幻のポケモン ''Illusory Pokémon'') and has a different Japanese name.
{{-}}
====Cresselia====
[[File:488Cresselia.png|thumb|175px|Artwork of {{p|Cresselia}} from Diamond and Pearl]]
{{p|Cresselia}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon who represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.

In the games, Cresselia can be found on [[Fullmoon Island]] as part of a post-League quest to rid {{tc|Sailor}} [[Eldritch]]'s son of a nightmare. She will flee immediately, roaming Sinnoh and leaving behind a [[Lunar Wing]], which will heal the boy. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], Cresselia can be found on [[Marvelous Bridge]] after obtaining the Lunar Wing in the [[Strange House]].

Cresselia made her debut appearance in the anime in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which she fought briefly against a {{p|Darkrai}}.
{{-}}
====Heatran====
[[File:Ranger 3 Heatran mission art.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Heatran}} causing an eruption]]
{{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of the planet's boiling {{wp|core}}, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Reversal Mountain]] in [[Unova]], and [[Scorched Slab]]{{sup/6|ORAS}} in [[Hoenn]], where it was said to have been born at the same time as Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina created Sinnoh at the [[Spear Pillar]] and created the [[Battle Zone]]. Heatran is the only Legendary Pokémon with a variable gender.

Heatran first appeared in the anime in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', under the control of [[Marcus]], and later appeared in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]'' as part of a Pokémon Ranger rescue mission.
{{-}}

====Regigigas====
[[File:Regigigas anime.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]
{{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[Legendary titans]], having created them in ancient times and was said to have moved the continents in place, pulling them by rope.

In the games, Regigigas is found at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}, [[Twist Mountain]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, and [[Island Cave]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, though it will not awaken unless all three of the Legendary titans are in the player's party.

Regigigas appeared in the anime in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', in which it attempted to stop a glacier from destroying [[Ten'i Village]]. Another appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', in which it was hunted by [[J]] and defended by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.
{{-}}

===Generation V===
Nine additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]], totaling 35 Legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the end of the game.

====Swords of Justice====
[[File:Swords of Justice M15.png|thumb|250px|The Swords of Justice]]
{{main|Swords of Justice}}
{{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Legendary Pokémon based on the titular characters of the 1844 French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'', and partially on hooved mammals such as deer, antelopes, oxen, goats, and horses. According to legend, they protect Pokémon from having their habitats destroyed by humans and have been known to have attacked human castles during the Middle Ages. Like the Three Musketeers, they are considered a trio but have a fourth, younger member in the form of {{p|Keldeo}}, a Mythical Pokémon, whom the other three rescued and raised after its home was destroyed by fire. All four of them can use their horns like swords, and learn their former [[signature move]], {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}, most likely to refer to it becoming part of the group later).

They made their anime debut together, in the fifteenth Pokémon film ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', where Keldeo was responsible for the freezing of the other three during a battle against {{OBP|Kyurem|M15}}, and sought help from {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. In the movie, Cobalion acts as the leader of the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}, protecting Pokémon and humans alike through the world.

{{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} are a trio of Pokémon based on {{wp|kami}}: {{wp|Fūjin}}, god of wind, {{wp|Raijin}}, god of thunder and lightning, and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, a fertility deity. Together the three represent the heavens and the nourishing effect the sky has upon the earth. According to a folktale retold by children at the [[Abundant Shrine]], Landorus punished Tornadus and Thundurus for destroying the land with gales and thunderstorms, and a shrine was built in honor of him. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] they receive a new Forme, the Therian Forme, with their old Forme known as the Incarnate Forme; the Formes can be switched between with the [[Reveal Glass]].

In the anime, the Forces of Nature were sought by [[Team Rocket]] in Unova from ''[[BW056|The Lonely Deino!]]'' until they were able to awaken them on [[Milos Island]] in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Part 2]]''. Tornadus and Thundurus fought on the island, while Ash and his friends awakened Landorus to put a stop to the fight (they all appeared in Incarnate Forme during these episodes). They debuted in Therian Forme in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', when Team Rocket once again attempted to capture them as the final goal of [[Operation Tempest]]. Together, they are said to have the power to control nature, which can be harnessed by one who possesses both {{an|Meloetta}} and the Reveal Glass.

====Tao trio====
{{main|Tao trio}}
[[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} confronting {{p|Kyurem}}]]
{{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} represent balance through the aspects of {{wp|Tao|Yin and Yang}}, respectively. Originally, they were a single dragon that helped found the Unova region's nation, but fighting between the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|two brothers]] who founded the nation split them into two halves. Despite this, the two Pokémon do not willingly fight each other.

In the games, [[Team Plasma]] hunt either Reshiram or Zekrom in {{game|Black and White|s}} in order to use them to liberate all Pokémon from their owners. [[N]] captures one of them and defeats [[Alder]]. The other dragon emerges from the [[Dragon Stones|Dragon Stone]] the player possesses, and the player must capture it and use it to defeat N. After his defeat, N rides off on his dragon to a far-off region. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], which take place two years later, [[Ghetsis]] revives Team Plasma and captures Kyurem in order to freeze and take control of the Unova region. N confronts him with Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}, but Ghetsis seizes the opportunity to fuse the Tao dragon with Kyurem using the [[DNA Splicers]] to create Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}}/White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}. The player defeats Kyurem and Ghetsis, restoring balance to the region.

Reshiram and Zekrom are the stars of [[M14|''Pokémon The Movie: White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Pokémon The Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram'']] along with Victini. Zekrom debuted in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' causing [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s electric crisis, and appeared in numerous flashbacks and fantasies afterwards. Reshiram also debuted in a cameo at the beginning of ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and had a large role in the "Episode N" arc, as [[Team Plasma]]'s target, appearing in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. Reshiram and Zekrom make a cameo appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.

{{p|Kyurem}} is related to Reshiram and Zekrom and represents {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}}, which is the absence of yin and yang. Using the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}}, Kyurem can be fused with Reshiram or Zekrom into White Kyurem or Black Kyurem, respectively; with the same item, the fusion can be undone.

Kyurem is the star of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'' along with Keldeo, where it seems as a ferocious Pokémon, and can change forms without the DNA Splicers. It is also capable of this when it appears in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.

===Generation VI===
Three additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VI]], totaling 38 Legendary Pokémon. This is the first generation to introduce fewer Legendary Pokémon than the generation before it.

====Aura trio====

[[File:Yveltal artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Yveltal}}|left]]
[[File:718Zygarde.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Zygarde|Zygarde 50% Forme}}]]
The Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon X and Y]] are {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}, and they form the [[aura trio]] along with {{p|Zygarde}}. Xerneas and Yveltal represent life and destruction, respectively, while Zygarde is said to monitor the balance of the ecosystem and reveal its power when the ecosystem is disrupted. Xerneas has the power to share eternal life, while Yveltal absorbs the life force of everything around it. Xerneas sleeps in the form of a tree, while Yveltal sleeps in the form of a cocoon. Xerneas and Yveltal have the Abilities {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{a|Dark Aura}}, respectively, while Zygarde's {{a|Aura Break}} reverses the effects of these Abilities.

Xerneas has {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Xerneas|two Formes}}, appearing in Active Mode in battle and Neutral Mode otherwise. Yveltal has no form differences. Zygarde appeared only as Zygarde 50% Forme in Pokémon X and Y, but had {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|two other Formes}} and two further components introduced in the anime and in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Zygarde's other Formes are Zygarde 10% Forme, a dog-like Forme that includes 10% of Zygarde's full power, and Zygarde Complete Forme, whose power is said to exceed that of Xerneas and Yveltal. Its further components are Zygarde Cells, tiny cell-like creatures that make up Zygarde's body, and Zygarde Cores, cell-like creatures said to be its mind.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], [[Lysandre]] captures Xerneas or Yveltal to use their power in the [[ultimate weapon]] to create a "beautiful world" in his image. Either Xerneas or Yveltal are captured by the player at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] upon awakening from their dormant forms. Zygarde 50% Forme can be found in [[Terminus Cave]] after the player enters the Hall of Fame.

In the anime, Xerneas and Yveltal starred in the movie ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', along with Diancie, where Xerneas and Yveltal are shown to be residents of the [[Allearth Forest]]. Xerneas made a minor appearance in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]'', being responsible for causing Ash and his friends to get lost in fog during the orienteering activity.

In the anime, Zygarde debuted in in ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'' in its 50% Forme alongside a Zygarde Core. A Zygarde Core has traveled alongside Ash and his friends, nicknamed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, since the beginning of the {{DL|List of XY series episodes|XY&Z|''XYZ'' arc}}, and another Zygarde Core referred to as [[Z2]] was captured by [[Team Flare]]. Both of these Cores have appeared in all three Formes of Zygarde.

===Generation VII===
[[Generation VII]] has ten known Legendary Pokémon. Five of these Pokémon are part of [[Pokémon Evolution|evolutionary chains]].

====Type: Null and Silvally====
[[File:773Silvally.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Silvally}}]]
{{p|Type: Null}} and its evolution {{p|Silvally}} are man-made Pokémon created by the [[Aether Foundation]] for [[Faba]]'s "Beast Killer" project, which aimed to create a Pokémon with similarity to {{p|Arceus}} through data collected from [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Canalave Library]].

Although the project was deemed a failure and the resulting three models of Type: Null were put into cryogenic stasis, [[Gladion]] managed to evolve the stolen Type: Null that became his partner. He named the evolution Silvally.

{{-}}
====Guardian deities====
{{main|Guardian deities}}
[[File:785Tapu Koko.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Tapu Koko}}]]
The guardian deities are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who protect the islands where they live. Each of the four main islands in Alola has a guardian deity: {{p|Tapu Koko}} on [[Melemele Island]], {{p|Tapu Lele}} on [[Akala Island]], {{p|Tapu Bulu}} on [[Ula'ula Island]], and {{p|Tapu Fini}} on [[Poni Island]]. The [[Island Kahuna]]s are each chosen by their island's guardian deity.

====Cosmog line====
{{main|Cosmic duo}}
[[File:Cosmog.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Cosmog}}]]
{{p|Cosmog}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Cosmog has a major role in the plot as a Pokémon being studied by the [[Aether Foundation]]. [[Lillie]], the daughter of Aether Foundation's president, [[Lusamine]], spirits Cosmog away and nicknames it [[Nebby]], hiding it in her bag as she tries to learn more about it by visiting the [[guardian deities]]. Over the course of the game, Nebby evolves into {{p|Cosmoem}}, another Legendary Pokémon, and eventually the [[version mascot]] of the game: the {{2t|Psychic|Steel}}-type {{p|Solgaleo}} in Pokémon Sun and the {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}}-type {{p|Lunala}} in Pokémon Moon. Another Cosmog can be obtained by the player in the post-game.

====Necrozma====
[[File:800Necrozma.png|thumb|200px|Necrozma]]
{{p|Necrozma}} is a mysterious {{type|Psychic}} Legendary Pokémon that resembles the [[Ultra Beast]]s. It is believed to have come from an alternate dimension long ago.

Necrozma has three additional forms introduced in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. It transforms into the first two, called Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma, when it has absorbed Solgaleo and Lunala, respectively. Either of these two forms can further transform into the third, Ultra Necrozma, after absorbing an excess amount of light.

==Trivia==

* Though {{p|Unown}} is not considered to be a Legendary Pokémon, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about Legendary Pokémon, its power (in large numbers, at least) appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon, and within the canon of the movie it is specifically referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.
* {{p|Heatran}} is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.
* According to interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] in 2009, Legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of Legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages and don't conflict with anything else. This is consistent with the relatively small number of Legendary Pokémon that have had their names changed significantly outside of Japan (currently 16: the [[Legendary birds]], the [[lake guardians]], the [[Forces of Nature]], {{p|Silvally}}, the [[guardian deities]], and in [[Pokémon in Greater China|Chinese]] only, the [[Mew duo]]).
* Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:
** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.
** Reshiram's theme employs a burning fire effect, Zekrom's theme employs a crackling thunder effect, and normal Kyurem's theme features an extra slapped bass part playing in the background.
* The Legendary birds are the Legendary Pokémon that have been available in the wild in the greatest number of core series games, each being able to be caught in thirteen core series games ([[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, SoulSilver]], [[Pokémon X and Y Versions|X, Y]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]).

'''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 quadruped, chimeric Pokémon 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, purple claw on the back of the ankle. Its fish-like 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 given 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, and the "Beast Killer" project was deemed a failure, and their name changed to Type: Null. At some point before the events of Sun and Moon, [[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.

==Trivia==
* Type: Null is the only Pokémon whose Italian and Spanish names differ from its English name.
* Type: Null has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon that are able to evolve.
* 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.
* There is no legitimate way to have a Type: Null at a [[level]] lower than 40; this is the highest minimum level for any unevolved Pokémon that can evolve.

===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).

'''Ever Grande City''' (Japanese: '''サイユウシティ''' ''Saiyū City'') is located on an island in eastern [[Hoenn]]. The island is blanketed in flowers.

[[Pokémon Trainer]]s come here to battle the [[Elite Four]] of Hoenn after earning eight [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s. There are two [[Pokémon Center]]s on the island, in the south and in the north. Either can be reached by using {{m|Fly}}.

With its steep cliffs, it is impossible to reach the city itself without possessing a Pokémon able to scale the high {{m|waterfall}} on the southern end of the city. High above the ocean, its slopes are lush with grass and flowers. The island is bisected by Hoenn's {{ho|Victory Road}}, which runs through a large mountain at the center of the island.

==Places of Interest==
[[Image:Ever Grande City RS.png|thumb|left|Ever Grande City in Ruby and Sapphire|100px]]
===Victory Road===
{{main|Victory Road (Hoenn)}}

{{ho|Victory Road}} is a dark, complex cave that passes through the middle of Ever Grande City, separating it into two sections. Due to the difficulty of traversing Victory Road, only the toughest trainers will reach the northern end of the tunnel, and thus the [[Pokémon League]] and Elite Four. The player must own many [[HM]]s to pass though {{ho|Victory Road}} and near the exit the player must battle [[Wally]].

===Pokémon League===
{{main|Hoenn League}}

The [[Pokémon League]] building is the last resting spot before the player challenges the [[Elite Four]]. It is a large Pokémon Center and Poké Mart combined with a gateway to the [[Elite Four]] which can only entered if the player has all eight [[Gym]] [[badge]]s. The nurse at the left counter will heal the player's Pokémon and the player may purchase items at the right counter.

==Demographics==
In the games, its population is uncertain; it is difficult to differentiate between the trainers passing through the town to challenge the Elite Four and normal residents. The only buildings that appear is the League itself and the [[Pokémon Center]]s; there are no houses.

==In the anime==
<div style="float: right; margin-left: 15px;">[[Image:Ever Grande City Anime.png|thumb|none|Ever Grande City in the anime|200px]]</div>
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|co.}} arrive in Ever Grande City in the episode ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'' and leave in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''. While there, Ash competes in the [[Ever Grande Conference]] and battles his Hoenn rivals, [[Morrison]] and {{ho|Tyson}}. Ever Grande City in the anime is much different to the game, as there are many houses, restaurants and shops including the Ever Grande Conference Shop, and no sight of {{ho|Victory Road}}.

==Trivia==
* This is the only city to host a Pokémon League in the games. However, besides the league itself and a Pokémon Center, there are no other buildings in Ever Grande City, residential or otherwise.
* This is the only city in the [[Pokémon world]] that contains two [[Pokémon Center]]s.
* The league [[Pokémon Center]] does not have a second floor in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}. This isn't the case in {{v2|Emerald}}, however.

==Trivia==
* Victini was first shown in a preview for the [[M14|14th Pokémon movie]] at the end of ''[[M13|Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark]]''.
* Victini's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Isshu Pokédex number|Isshu Pokédex]] is 000, making it the first Pokémon to legitimately have the number 000 in any Pokédex listing.
* Not including Forme Changes, Victini is [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|the only]] Pokémon to have the type combination of {{2t|Psychic|Fire}}.
* Victini is the only legendary Pokémon of a later generation to appear next to legendary Pokémon of an earlier generation in the National Pokédex.
* Victini is the first Pokémon to be listed before the starter Pokémon of a particular region.
* Victini has the same base stats as {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.

===Origin===
Victini's appearance seems to be based on [http://recipe.gourmet.yahoo.co.jp/E211234/ うさぎリンゴ ''usagi-ringo''], a method of cutting apple slices to make them look similar to rabbits. Conceptually, it might draw inspiration from {{wp|Nike (mythology)|Nike}}, the Greek goddess of victory, or {{wp|Victoria (mythology)|Victoria}}, the Roman equivalent of Nike.

====Name origin====
Victini possibly comes from ''victory'' and ''teeny''.

Regional Pokédex

2010-07-25T01:35:55Z

MatoroBro0107:

[[File:JohtoDex.png|thumb|Right|200px|Johto's regional Pokédex, a predecessor (note lack of numbers).]]
A '''regional Pokédex''' is a [[Pokédex]] order specific to a certain [[region]] of the Pokémon world. None of the regional Pokédexes yet released chronicle all Pokémon known (though the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|old Johto Pokédex]] did at [[Generation II|its time]], it is merely a precursor); instead they chronicle those Pokémon native to the region, starting with the {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]], and followed by its evolutions, the {{type2|Fire}} starter and its evolutions, and the {{type2|Water}} starter and its evolutions, then continuing through the rest of the Pokémon native to the region. Legendary Pokémon of the region are typically placed near the end, while the very last spot or two are occupied by special Pokémon not normally encountered.
[[File:PokedexHoennView.png|thumb|Right|200px|{{p|Corphish}} in the Hoenn Regional Pokédex]]
A regional Pokédex will often place newly released evolutions and pre-evolutions near their base form, no matter how much distance is between them in the [[National Pokédex]]. For example, in the National Pokédex, {{p|Aipom}} falls at #190, with its evolution {{p|Ambipom}} at #424. In the [[Sinnoh]] region's Pokédex, however, they are #063 and #064, respectively. Capturing all Pokémon in a regional Pokédex will cause the [[Game Freak]] developers in-game to award the player with a [[diploma]] in [[Generation I]], [[Generation II]], and [[Generation III]]. Completing the National Pokédex awards another diploma in [[Generation III]]. In [[Generation IV]], seeing every Pokémon in the [[Sinnoh]] region's Pokédex allows the player to receive the upgrade to National mode from [[Professor Oak]].
[[File:Platinum National Pokédex.png|thumb|right|200px|The Sinnoh Pokédex allows players to switch between regional and national views.]]
So far, however, only the [[Sinnoh]] region's original Pokédex does not naturally include all of the new Pokémon released in that generation. In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Pokémon such as {{p|Gligar}} and {{p|Eevee}} were excluded from the listing, despite both receiving new evolutions in Generation IV and being easily available after getting the National Pokédex. The reasoning for this is unknown, however, both of these Pokémon, as well as all others that are relatives of a Generation IV Pokémon, among others, were added to the Sinnoh Pokédex in {{v2|Platinum}}.

The Pokédex order for the four main regions of the Pokémon world are as follows:
* [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]]: #001 {{p|Bulbasaur}} - #151 {{p|Mew}}
* [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] ({{gameabbrev3|GSC}}): #001 {{p|Chikorita}} - #251 {{p|Celebi}}
** [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Neo Johto Pokédex]] ({{gameabbrev3|HGSS}}): #001 {{p|Chikorita}} - #256 {{p|Celebi}}
* [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]]: #001 {{p|Treecko}} - #202 {{p|Deoxys}}
* [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] ({{gameabbrev3|DP}}): #001 {{p|Turtwig}} - #151 {{p|Manaphy}}
**[[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Enhanced Sinnoh Pokédex]] ({{gameabbrev3|Pt}}): #001 {{p|Turtwig}} - #210 {{p|Giratina}}
* [[List of Pokémon by Isshu Pokédex number|Isshu Pokédex]]: #000 {{p|Victini}} - #???

The National Pokédex, which catalogs every Pokémon currently known, is as follows:
* [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]]:
** {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}: #001 {{p|Bulbasaur}} - #151 {{p|Mew}}
** {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}: #152 {{p|Chikorita}} - #251 {{p|Celebi}}
** {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}: #252 {{p|Treecko}} - #386 {{p|Deoxys}}
** {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}}: #387 {{p|Turtwig}} - #493 {{p|Arceus}}
** {{cat|Generation V Pokémon}}: #494 {{p|Tsutarja}} - #???

In the spin-off games, {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} and [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], Pokémon information is stored in the Browser, which acts similarly to a Pokédex for {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s. It is as follows:
* [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]]: R-001 {{p|Bulbasaur}} - R-213 {{p|Mew}}
* [[List of Pokémon by Almia Browser number|Almia Browser]]: R-001 {{p|Pichu}} - R-267 {{p|Regigigas}}
* [[List of Pokémon by Oblivia Browser number|Oblivia Browser]]: R-001 {{p|Pidgey}} - R-301 {{p|Lugia}}
** [[List of Pokémon by Oblivia Browser number|Past Oblivia Browser]]: N-001 {{p|Piplup}} - N-222 {{p|Mew}}

In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|Pokémon XD]], the [[Strategy Memo]] acts as a Pokédex for [[Orre]], listing Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by name|alphabetically]].

== Magical creatures? ==

In the movie [[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]] [[Pokémon]] are repeatedly referred to as '''Magical Creatures''' a number of times. should page be added? maybe as an indirect? [[User:1ted59|1ted]][[Glitch Pokémon|59]] 01:28, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

== Speculation or fact? ==

That the word Pokémon was "created" by Ash and Co. The word did not exist until Ash and Co. went into the past. When they went into the past they explained to Damos what they are. After the events of the movie, Damos started using the word "Pokémon" to refer to "magical creatures". Then after centuries go by, "magical creatures" is obsolete. We still did not get an explanation on how the word "Pokémon" came in. So, if you understand what I'm saying, would this be speculation or fact? One reason to back this up is, at the beginning of the movie, when Arceus arrived, he called Pokémon "magical creature". Then at the end when Ash and Co. returned, he said did not call them "magical creatures", he called them "Pokémon".--'''[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight]] [[User talk:Midnight Blue|''Blue'']]''' 02:57, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

:::If their names are similar but '''not related''', it is ''not'' going in the name origin. Because it's a coincidence. So what if they both end in "ark" and begin with "Zo"? It is not going into the name origin, it is not going into trivia or anywhere on the page. Zoroark's name is from "zorro" (fox) and "dark". Not a British TV show from 15 years ago.

== Interwiki link to Pokéteca ==

There's an article about Zoroark on [[:es:Zoroark|Pokéteca]] now, so can someone who has the ability to edit this article add in the interwiki link? I'd do it myself, but since it's protected... --[[User:Blaziken257|'''Blaz''']][[User talk:Blaziken257|'''iken''']][[Special:Contributions/Blaziken257|'''257''']] 05:49, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

== Height/weight ==

i noticed that when you convert all of the pokemon's height/weight convert the length in meter to feet and inches it is the same as the us amount. So why doesn't it have it on the page? Zoroark's is 5'03" and it weighs 178lbs 13oz...[[User:Vkickass|Vkickass]] 04:57, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
:Because there's no official height/weight as dictated by NoA yet.

== Zoroark = Shadow Ash? ==

Now, I'm not saying this is true, this is just something to think about that MAY be a possibility UNTILL the movie's released. I watched the trailer and saw Ash's interaction with his shadow self, and Shadow Ash gave Ketchum the same malicious smile Zoroark is shown to have in it's artwork. Zoroark could possibly be Shadow Ash. This makes sense since Zoroark is the 'master of illusion'.

None of this is proven, just a theory, of course. Something to think about till the movie's premier. - [[User:050294|050294]] 03:39, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

== Zoroark & Zordrak! ==

You Americans may not know this, but over in the UK, I'm getting reports that Zoroark (Knowing that its a mix of Zorro and Dark!) has a similar name to Zordrak, the main villain to a popular show {{wp|The Dreamstone}} that came out two decades before Zoroark. Don't believe me, look up on Wikipedia and Youtube and you will see what I mean. In Pokemon comparison, Zordrak, Lord of Nightmares is a cross between Darkrai and Zoroark, whilst for Cresselia, Darkrai's rival would be the Planet Dreamstone for having the same gender and actually fight against Zordrak. - [[user:Cynthia149]]

Wow, pretty strange... I know it could be considered that this is just a coincidence, as Zoroark is after all a romanised version of its Japanese name but I just had a check and Zordrak is also a Kitsune. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 07:55, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

:::Cynthia149 didn't say the name was specifically based on this character, she said it was similar.

::::What I meant to say is that Zordrak is the Lord of Nightmares, and that is what Darkrai is in a way. And the Planet Dreamstone is like that to Cresselia for being the creater of dreams. Even though the Dream Maker is Zordrak's foe, the Planet Dreamstone who has a feminine voice is the one that always tends to fight him, just like Cresselia and Darkrai. - [[user:Cynthia149]] 15:39, 10 March 2010

Huge numbers of Dreamstone fans who are also Pokemon fans have pointed out the resembelence in the names of Zoroark and Zordrak. Zordrak name I think is a mix between Zorro(Spanish for fox) and Drako(Latin for dragon). As for Zoroark, they must be very careful on not to upset {{wp|Cookie Jar}} who owns The Dreamstone show! - [[user:Cynthia149]] 15:47, 10 March 2010
:I doubt they need to do anything of the sort. Zordrak physically resembles Guilmon from Digimon, meaning they can't get him for likeness. Zordrak's name...if they'd hit Zoroark for any resemblance to the name, Zordrak would have to answer to Filmation for similarities to Hordak from She-Ra (equally a villain), and that came out prior to 1990 (the fact that Zoroark is /not/ the same name means there's no claim anyway, and we'll likely keep this name [or wind up with Zoloarc, or some mixture with the letters] making it impossible for a case. Lastly, Zoroark is based on a kitsune, a magical fox that's all about illusions and transformations and disguises. Zoroark has /no/ connections to nightmares and dreams and every bit connected to Japanese folklore, meaning even if there was a resemblance...there's still no case, since the folklore predates this century, never mind this show. This is just fishing on the vaguest connections that you're stretching too far. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 17:29, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
:: Hordak and Zordrak have no connection what so ever, it has to be the same sounding like Zordrak and Zoroark or it doesn't count, and despite being the lord of nightmares, Zordrak too is a Kitsune as it can become a purple mist. - [[user:Cynthia149]] 19:44, 10 March 2010

[[File:Pokémon Center.png|200px|thumb|right| A Pokémon Center in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
A '''Pokémon Center''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンセンター''' ''Pokémon Center'') is a type of building that provide regulatory services for [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. Pokémon Centers are found in most towns and cities of the [[Pokémon world]], every major city or town holds a Pokémon Center. Pokémon Centers can be found outside towns, sometimes next to large forests or [[caves]]. Pokémon Centers are built where many Trainers gather and the area becomes popular. This is to accommodate those Trainers in need and serve as a resting spot. The most common service the Pokémon Center offers is healing [[Pokémon]] free of charge. They also serve as gathering places for Trainers.

{{m|Fly}} and {{m|Teleport}} always bring the player to the door of the Pokémon Center of a given town if one is present.

==In the games==
In the [[Pokémon games]], Pokémon Centers are important buildings found in most towns and cities, sometimes even on [[route]]s. Pokémon Centers are essential to Trainers as they provide many facilities and host most game mechanics. Non-player character Trainers and their own Pokémon are often found hanging around in Centers, offering general advice and information on the events in the town or area it is situated in. Though the setup of the Centers has varied slightly throughout each generation, all Pokémon Centers have these functions:

* A {{ga|nurse}} heals all party Pokémon in a matter of seconds. This service heals all status conditions, recharges [[HP]] and {{PP}} of all [[party]] Pokémon, free of charge. The nurse is located at the main counter just as the player enters the Pokémon Center.
* Pokémon Centers also host the Cable Club and the Union Room, which facilitates multiplayer gameplay. Originally, linked players could only battle and trade one another, but in later generations, players can [[mixing records|mix records]] and [[Wi-Fi Plaza|play games]] together.

* Trainers also have access to a [[PC]] so that they can change out their [[party]]. Players are able to deposit and withdraw Pokémon, along with ability to store and withdraw items and display their [[Hall of Fame]] details.
* In Generations I-III, saving the game inside a Pokémon Center is required to facilitate linking with console games such as Pokémon Stadium and Colosseum.

===Generation I===
[[Image:Pkmncenter.png‎|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}]]
In Generation I, a Pokémon Center consisted of two counters on a single floor. The counter on the left has a {{ga|nurse}} that will heal the player's Pokémon. The counter on the right contains the Cable Club, which allows players to link with each other. Talking to the women at the desk will allow the player to enter the Cable Club. Furthest to the right is the [[PC]] to deposit and withdraw Pokémon or items. Generation I also includes two of the few examples of a Pokémon Center that isn't in a town, which are the Pokémon Center on [[Route 4]] outside [[Mt. Moon]], and the Pokémon Center in [[Route 10]] outside the entrance to the [[Rock Tunnel]]. Future generations employ rest houses that only offer healing services in areas similar to that.

====Cable Club====
The original link-up place was at the far end of the Pokémon Center in [[Generation I]] [[Kanto]]. Players can link together to simply battle each other in a one-on-one fight and trade Pokémon with each other. Two players linked by a first generation [[Link Cable]] can enter the cable club. Pokémon Yellow featured an extended version of the Cable Club with the option to choose special battle rules or cups.

===Generation II===
[[Image:Gscpokecenter.PNG‎|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
[[Image:PCCenter.gif|frame|left|Inside of the Pokémon Communications Center in {{game|Crystal}}, with dialog translated.]]
In Generation II, to accommodate greater linkup functionality, the Pokémon Centers of both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] expanded to two floors. On the first floor remained the counter where a nurse would heal Pokémon, as well as a PC, while on the second floor resided the Cable Club.

====Cable Club====
Located upstairs in Pokémon Centers throughout [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], this Cable Club consisted of three rooms. The Cable Club Trade Center facilitated trading, the Cable Club Colosseum allowed battling, and the Cable Club [[Time Capsule]] provided a way to trade Pokémon with the [[Generation I]] games. Because there were no female [[player character]]s prior to {{ga|Kris}}'s introduction in {{game|Crystal}}, a player who has chosen Kris must be "changed" into the {{ga|Ethan|male player}} sprite before they may link with any other game. This is still the case if the game is linked with another copy of Crystal Version, even though sprite data for the female choice exists.

Two players can enter the Cable Club with a first generation {{wp|Game Link Cable}}.

====Johto Mobile Center====
Only in the Japanese Crystal version, the Pokémon Communication Center in [[Goldenrod City]]. Added was the ability to battle over mobile phones upstairs, and two new items downstairs: Pokémon News, a news machine which aggregated news about Trainer accomplishments and Trade Corner, which let a Trainer place a Pokémon up for trade. This process was in essence a prototype for the [[Global Terminal|GTS]].

===Generation III===
[[File:RSEpokecenter.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}]]
[[File:FRLGCenterInside.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
Pokémon Centers during Generation III remained in a two-floor setup, similar to the way they were in Generation II. The only difference is that the stairs to the second floor are larger and more noticeable, taking the shape of an escalator.

In [[Orre]], there is only one official Pokémon Center. It is located in [[Phenac City]].

[[Image:Phenac Pokémon Center.png|thumb|left|Inside the Pokémon Center in [[Phenac City]]]]
====Cable Club====
Similar to the Cable Club in Johto, the [[Hoenn]] Cable Club's Pokémon Center has a Cable Club Colosseum and a Cable Club Trade Center. Now four players can link with a third generation {{wp|Game Link Cable}} to battle in a [[double battle]]. A new feature was added to the Cable Club called the Cable Club Record Center, which allows two to four trainers to swap data. Similar to the Pokémon News in Crystal version, swapped trainer data shows up on [[television]] shows on televisions found all across Hoenn. Also, trainers' [[secret base]]s are copied over in the record mixing.

====Wireless Club====
The [[Generation III]] Kanto and {{v2|Emerald}} version Hoenn have a Wireless Club. The Wireless Club meets in the [[Union Room]], where up to 40 trainers may (in groups of five) talk and battle, as well as trade via a trading board similar to the Crystal version Trade Corner. The Cable Club's room has the standard Trade Center and Colosseum. Pokémon Emerald version's Cable Club also has the Record Center.

===Generation IV===
[[File:Dppokecenter.PNG‎|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}]]
[[File:HGSSPokéCenter.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
In Generation IV, Pokémon Centers introduce a basement floor, utilizing Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Opposite the second floor escalator, another escalator downstairs to the basement appears. While the second floor retains the same functionality that it did during Generation III with four player on the DS's wireless connection, the basement floor is where players can link up with others around the world using {{wp|Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection}}. The first floor, as always, is where a player can heal their Pokémon and a [[PC]]. As of {{game|Platinum}} players can also challenge a Trainer or Trainers inside some Pokémon Centers.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} the Pokémon Center was redesigned again. The second floor became a mezzanine, located above and directly behind the main desk, and two staircases were added on each side of the desk for access to it. The PC was moved to the corner of the desk. All functions remain the same. The player's [[Walking_Pokémon#Pokémon_HeartGold_and_SoulSilver|partner Pokémon]] will return to its [[Poké Ball]] while being healed. Also, if the first Pokémon in the player's party had been fainted prior to healing, it will return to being the partner as soon as it has been revived.

====Wireless Club====
In [[Generation IV]], Sinnoh and Johto both have a wireless club just like [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]], but with a lack of a Record Center. However, the Pokémon Centers in these regions have a basement, where the Wi-Fi Club is located, for people to connect to each other if they are registered on each other's [[Pal Pad]]. Here they can battle and trade, and they can talk to each other through the built-in microphone of the DS, instead of with a chat box like it was in [[Generation III]].

====Wi-Fi Plaza====
The [[Wi-Fi Plaza]] is an enhancement to the Wi-Fi Club in Pokémon Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver. It is found downstairs in the Pokémon Center. Players from around the world can enter a "plaza" to make Poffins and play mini-games together via Nintendo Wi-Fi. The player can walk around the plaza and communicate with other players in the plaza. A leap in multiplayer gameplay is introduced, allowing up to twenty players to enter the Wi-Fi Plaza at a time. The player may only spend a certain amount of time at the Wi-Fi Plaza each day.

===Generation V===
[[File:BW Prerelease Pokémon Center.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the Poké Mart has been combined with the Pokémon Center, this is similar to how the Elite Four lobbies of previous generations contain both a Poké Mart and a Pokémon Center. As with HeartGold and SoulSilver, the second floor is a mezzanine above the healing station.

==In the anime==
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, a [[Nurse Joy]] heads each Pokémon Center. The healing process takes place in real time, unlike in the games. All Pokémon Centers are connected and, in times of crisis, all Pokémon can be [[Pokémon storage system|transferred]] from one to another, as seen in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]''.
[[Image:CeruleanPokecenter.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Cerulean City]] Pokémon Center as it appears in the anime]][[File:Pokémon Center heal.png|thumb|left|Ash's Pokémon going to be treated|220px]]

Pokémon Centers are designed for Trainers so they can rest between {{pkmn|training|activities}}. Trainers use Centers as gathering places, so they can share information about Pokémon. They also have access to video phones, PC with trading functions and most offer free food and lodging. Inside a typical Pokémon Center, one can find a front desk, a lobby (sometimes with vending machines), a [[Poké Ball]] room, an Emergency Room with plenty of beds for injured Pokémon, a recovery room, a waiting room, rooms for lodging, and a cafeteria. It is unknown how these activities performed by a Pokémon Center are financed. On the outside, they come in all shapes and sizes, but usually have a rather large ''P'' somewhere.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Pokémon Centers. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: ジョーイさん　あいたくなったら　ポケモンセンター ''Jōi-san aitaku nattara, Pokémon sentā.'' "When I want to meet Nurse Joy, Pokémon Center."
* If a Trainer gets at least four stars on their {{ga|Trainer card}} in [[Generation IV]], the nurse at the Pokémon Center will make special mention of this, and then refer to the player by name upon subsequent visits.
* A man in the [[Resort Area]] describes how Pokémon Centers come to be in an area. When [[Pokémon]] appear, Trainers will also come. When Trainers appear, Pokémon Centers will also come about.
* The Pokémon Center's theme music has remained essentially the same throughout the franchise. It is notably different at [[time|night time]] in [[Generation IV]].
*A remix of the theme music was used in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
* In the Japanese versions of the [[Generation II]] games, the sign of Johto's Pokémon Centers have a Poké Ball logo and the letters PC while Kanto's use the same sign as [[Generation I]]. However, the Generation I sign was used for both regions in the international versions.
*In [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]], the phrase the nurse says after healing your Pokémon is changed from "We hope to see you again!" to "Please, come back again any time!" It was probably changed because the phrase "We hope to see you again!" can be taken to mean that the nurse wants your pokemon to get hurt, as the main reason for going to a Pokémon Center is to heal hurt Pokémon.
* In Generation IV, if the "walk though walls cheat" is used to go past the desk, and the cash register-like object is interacted with, it will say the same thing as interacting with the shelves in a [[Poké Mart]].

[[File:PokemartHGSS.png|frame|right|Poké Mart in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
A '''Poké Mart''' (Japanese: '''フレンドリィショップ''' ''Friendly Shop'') is a convenience store that sells supplies necessary for [[Pokémon training]]. A Poké Mart's stock varies with its location, such as Poké Balls being available in [[Viridian City]] and Ultra Balls being available in [[Cinnabar Island]]. Some sell more items than others. Poké Marts also buy many different items in exchange for [[Pokémon Dollars|money]]. Much of the merchandise sold at such stores is produced by either [[Silph Co.]] or the [[Devon Corporation]].

Almost all cities, both major and minor, have Poké Marts, the exception being some which have local medicine shops. Notably, the town players start at in each main game does not have a Poké Mart. An interesting thing to note is that in the {{Pkmn|anime}}, Poké Marts do not seem to be as ubiquitous as in the games.

When the [[Mystery Gift]] function on a game cartridge is activated, a deliveryman may appear in Poké Marts with gifts for the {{player}}. The deliveryman only appears when a Mystery Gift is received by the cartridge. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} the deliveryman will give the player a range of items, including [[Potion]]s and [[Berry|Berries]], when [[Badges]] are collected.

In [[Generation IV]], there are two vendors in each Poké Mart. One will sell standard items, and the other will sell regional specialties. Unlike in previous games, rather than the items and their quantity varying by location, the merchandise's availability will increase with each [[Badge]] obtained. For example, if all Badges are under a player's possession, the same items will be found at each Poké Mart around [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]].

==Generation I==
[[File:Oaks_parcel.PNG|thumb|right|Poké Mart in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}]]
The player will come across their first Poké Mart in [[Viridian City]], as they travel across the town. If the player enters the Poké Mart in [[Viridian City]] for the first time, the clerk will ask the player to deliver {{DL|List of key items in Generation I|Oak's Parcel|a package}} to [[Professor Oak]] in [[Pallet Town]]. The [[Old man (Kanto)|old man]] to the north of the city will not move until the package is delivered to Professor Oak, and Poké Balls cannot be bought in Viridian City until the player has returned from this errand.

On {{rt|1}}, a man who works at the Poké Mart in Viridian City will give out a free sample of {{DL|Potion|Potion}} to Trainers who chat with him.

==Generation II==
[[File:Poké Mart GSC interior.png|frame|right|Poké Mart in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
The first Poké Mart is encountered in [[Cherrygrove City]], where all basic items are available aside from [[Poké Ball]]s, which they will not have in stock until after the player completes the errand to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house, fights {{ga|Silver}}, and returns to [[New Bark Town]] to report to [[Professor Elm]].

Every Poké Mart in Generation II has a different appearance, each based on the style used in its hometown, making the most of the transition from the original [[Game Boy]] to the [[Game Boy Color]].

[[File:Pokemart FRLG.png|thumb|right|Poké Mart in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the Poké Mart is introduced by a salesman in [[Oldale Town]], who directs the player to the local Poké Mart before giving the player a [[Potion]] as a gift. Like in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there is no supply of [[Poké Ball]]s, and they will not be in stock until after the player challenges their [[rival]] on {{rt|103}} and visits [[Professor Birch]] for the second time.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, all situations are the same as in [[Generation I]], with {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Oak's Parcel}} required for delivery before the Poké Mart in Viridian City will have Poké Balls available.

A new feature is introduced to Poké Marts in Generation III, the ability to answer surveys inside the Poké Mart. These surveys will allow the activation of [[Mystery Gift]]. To activate the Mystery Gift feature in the Generation III games, players need only to walk up to the clipboard found at any Poké Mart and enter a phase. The clerk behind the counter will then inform them that the Mystery Gift feature has been activated, and it will be available on the main menu from that point on.

==Generation IV==
[[File:Poke Mart.png|thumb|right|Poké Mart in {{game|Platinum}}]]
[[File:Poké Mart HGSS.png|thumb|right|Poké Mart in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Poké Mart is introduced by the [[rival]] after taking their tour of [[Sandgem Town]]. The Poké Mart expands its supplies as the player wins [[badge|gym badges]]. There are two cashiers in this generation; the one on the right sells items that can be found in any town, while the one on the left sells goods unique to that location, such as specialty [[Poké Ball]]s or [[mail]].

Whenever the player receives an [[event item|item]] or [[event Pokémon|Pokémon]] from a [[Nintendo event]], a deliveryman wearing a green uniform will appear next to the counter to give the player the item.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, all Poké Marts are the same as in Generation II. The sales method, however, carries over from Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. In these games, the deliveryman wears a red uniform.

A Department Store is the largest shop in a region, selling a variety of different items, including items that are not sold in a regular Poké Mart, such as [[TM]]s. Every region has a Department Store in it, usually in the region's largest city. Department Stores have several levels, usually selling a different type of item on each level.

===Cianwood City Pharmacy===
{{main|Cianwood City}}
The Cianwood City Pharmacy is a small pharmacy located in [[Cianwood City]], [[Johto]]. It is over 500 years old and it sells a variety of rare goods. The Cianwood City Pharmacy sells remedies exclusive to the town. [[Jasmine]] will ask the player to fetch [[Amphy|her Ampharos]] some [[SecretPotion|medicine]] from there. After giving Jasmine the medicine, players can return to the Pharmacy to find that Potions and Full Heals are in stock.

===Mahogany Town Shop===
Mahogany Town, as a result of its small population, does not have a Poké Mart. Instead, a small convenience store is run which stocks basic supplies for Pokémon Trainers. This shop is secretly a cover for a [[Team Rocket]] operation at the [[Lake of Rage]]; a [[Team Rocket HQ|secret basement]] is their base of operations. Once they have been defeated, the shop remains simply a shop.

===Two Island Market Stall===
{{main|Two Island (town)}}
[[Two Island (town)|Two Island]], rather than having a Poké Mart, has a market stall that sells special items. Similar to the Poké Marts in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the variety of items increases with each advancement into the story. After beating the [[Kanto Elite Four]], certain items originating in Johto and Hoenn are available. Notably, the stall is mentioned as selling [[Rage Candy Bar]]s (here spelled Rage Candybar), though they never in stock in-game.

===Celestic Town Shop===
{{main|Celestic Town}}

In [[Celestic Town]], there is no Poké Mart, so an elderly couple run a shop out of their house. A man standing in the shop gives away three pairs of glasses to the {{player}} depending on the time of day. He gives away {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Specs}} in the morning, {{DL|Type-enhancing item|BlackGlasses}} during the day, and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Wise Glasses}} at night.

==Side-series games==
==={{g|Mystery Dungeon}} series===
In the Mystery Dungeon side-series, there is no Poké Mart, as it takes place in an alternate world. However, two {{p|Kecleon}} run their own shop, which has the same basic purpose as a Poké Mart. They run these both in and out of dungeons, selling [[Wonder Orbs]] and other items that can be held in the {{player}}'s [[Treasure Bag]].

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation III]], the poster behind the Poké Mart clerk's desk says "It's an advertising poster about all kinds of products."
** There are also leftover door tiles for the Poké Marts in Hoenn.
* [[Generation IV]] is the only generation where there is no sign saying "Mart" on the front.
* The Poké Mart music has changed in every generation. In [[Generation I]], it shared its music with the Pokémon Center, and in [[Generation II]], its music was the same as the city or town the player was in. [[Generation III]] was the first generation to introduce separate music for the Poké Mart which was in use in [[Generation IV]] as well.

[[File:Pokémon Center.png|200px|thumb|right| A Pokémon Center in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
A '''Pokémon Center''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンセンター''' ''Pokémon Center'') is a type of building that provide regulatory services for [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. Pokémon Centers are found in most towns and cities of the [[Pokémon world]], every major city or town holds a Pokémon Center. Pokémon Centers can be found outside towns, sometimes next to large forests or [[caves]]. Pokémon Centers are built where many Trainers gather and the area becomes popular. This is to accommodate those Trainers in need and serve as a resting spot. The most common service the Pokémon Center offers is healing [[Pokémon]] free of charge. They also serve as gathering places for Trainers.

{{m|Fly}} and {{m|Teleport}} always bring the player to the door of the Pokémon Center of a given town if one is present.

==In the games==
In the [[Pokémon games]], Pokémon Centers are important buildings found in most towns and cities, sometimes even on [[route]]s. Pokémon Centers are essential to Trainers as they provide many facilities and host most game mechanics. Non-player character Trainers and their own Pokémon are often found hanging around in Centers, offering general advice and information on the events in the town or area it is situated in. Though the setup of the Centers has varied slightly throughout each generation, all Pokémon Centers have these functions:

* A {{ga|nurse}} heals all party Pokémon in a matter of seconds. This service heals all status conditions, recharges [[HP]] and {{PP}} of all [[party]] Pokémon, free of charge. The nurse is located at the main counter just as the player enters the Pokémon Center.
* Pokémon Centers also host the Cable Club and the Union Room, which facilitates multiplayer gameplay. Originally, linked players could only battle and trade one another, but in later generations, players can [[mixing records|mix records]] and [[Wi-Fi Plaza|play games]] together.

* Trainers also have access to a [[PC]] so that they can change out their [[party]]. Players are able to deposit and withdraw Pokémon, along with ability to store and withdraw items and display their [[Hall of Fame]] details.
* In Generations I-III, saving the game inside a Pokémon Center is required to facilitate linking with console games such as Pokémon Stadium and Colosseum.

===Generation I===
[[Image:Pkmncenter.png‎|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}]]
In Generation I, a Pokémon Center consisted of two counters on a single floor. The counter on the left has a {{ga|nurse}} that will heal the player's Pokémon. The counter on the right contains the Cable Club, which allows players to link with each other. Talking to the women at the desk will allow the player to enter the Cable Club. Furthest to the right is the [[PC]] to deposit and withdraw Pokémon or items. Generation I also includes two of the few examples of a Pokémon Center that isn't in a town, which are the Pokémon Center on [[Route 4]] outside [[Mt. Moon]], and the Pokémon Center in [[Route 10]] outside the entrance to the [[Rock Tunnel]]. Future generations employ rest houses that only offer healing services in areas similar to that.

====Cable Club====
The original link-up place was at the far end of the Pokémon Center in [[Generation I]] [[Kanto]]. Players can link together to simply battle each other in a one-on-one fight and trade Pokémon with each other. Two players linked by a first generation [[Link Cable]] can enter the cable club. Pokémon Yellow featured an extended version of the Cable Club with the option to choose special battle rules or cups.

===Generation II===
[[Image:Gscpokecenter.PNG‎|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
[[Image:PCCenter.gif|frame|left|Inside of the Pokémon Communications Center in {{game|Crystal}}, with dialog translated.]]
In Generation II, to accommodate greater linkup functionality, the Pokémon Centers of both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] expanded to two floors. On the first floor remained the counter where a nurse would heal Pokémon, as well as a PC, while on the second floor resided the Cable Club.

====Cable Club====
Located upstairs in Pokémon Centers throughout [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], this Cable Club consisted of three rooms. The Cable Club Trade Center facilitated trading, the Cable Club Colosseum allowed battling, and the Cable Club [[Time Capsule]] provided a way to trade Pokémon with the [[Generation I]] games. Because there were no female [[player character]]s prior to {{ga|Kris}}'s introduction in {{game|Crystal}}, a player who has chosen Kris must be "changed" into the {{ga|Ethan|male player}} sprite before they may link with any other game. This is still the case if the game is linked with another copy of Crystal Version, even though sprite data for the female choice exists.

Two players can enter the Cable Club with a first generation {{wp|Game Link Cable}}.

====Johto Mobile Center====
Only in the Japanese Crystal version, the Pokémon Communication Center in [[Goldenrod City]]. Added was the ability to battle over mobile phones upstairs, and two new items downstairs: Pokémon News, a news machine which aggregated news about Trainer accomplishments and Trade Corner, which let a Trainer place a Pokémon up for trade. This process was in essence a prototype for the [[GTS]].

===Generation III===
[[File:RSEpokecenter.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}]]
[[File:FRLGCenterInside.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
Pokémon Centers during Generation III remained in a two-floor setup, similar to the way they were in Generation II. The only difference is that the stairs to the second floor are larger and more noticeable, taking the shape of an escalator.

In [[Orre]], there is only one official Pokémon Center. It is located in [[Phenac City]].

[[Image:Phenac Pokémon Center.png|thumb|left|Inside the Pokémon Center in [[Phenac City]]]]
====Cable Club====
Similar to the Cable Club in Johto, the [[Hoenn]] Cable Club's Pokémon Center has a Cable Club Colosseum and a Cable Club Trade Center. Now four players can link with a third generation {{wp|Game Link Cable}} to battle in a [[double battle]]. A new feature was added to the Cable Club called the Cable Club Record Center, which allows two to four trainers to swap data. Similar to the Pokémon News in Crystal version, swapped trainer data shows up on [[television]] shows on televisions found all across Hoenn. Also, trainers' [[secret base]]s are copied over in the record mixing.

====Wireless Club====
The [[Generation III]] Kanto and {{v2|Emerald}} version Hoenn have a Wireless Club. The Wireless Club meets in the [[Union Room]], where up to 40 trainers may (in groups of five) talk and battle, as well as trade via a trading board similar to the Crystal version Trade Corner. The Cable Club's room has the standard Trade Center and Colosseum. Pokémon Emerald version's Cable Club also has the Record Center.

===Generation IV===
[[File:Dppokecenter.PNG‎|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}]]
[[File:HGSSPokéCenter.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
In Generation IV, Pokémon Centers introduce a basement floor, utilizing Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Opposite the second floor escalator, another escalator downstairs to the basement appears. While the second floor retains the same functionality that it did during Generation III with four player on the DS's wireless connection, the basement floor is where players can link up with others around the world using {{wp|Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection}}. The first floor, as always, is where a player can heal their Pokémon and a [[PC]]. As of {{game|Platinum}} players can also challenge a Trainer or Trainers inside some Pokémon Centers.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} the Pokémon Center was redesigned again. The second floor became a mezzanine, located above and directly behind the main desk, and two staircases were added on each side of the desk for access to it. The PC was moved to the corner of the desk. All functions remain the same. The player's [[Walking_Pokémon#Pokémon_HeartGold_and_SoulSilver|partner Pokémon]] will return to its [[Poké Ball]] while being healed. Also, if the first Pokémon in the player's party had been fainted prior to healing, it will return to being the partner as soon as it has been revived.

====Wireless Club====
In [[Generation IV]], Sinnoh and Johto both have a wireless club just like [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]], but with a lack of a Record Center. However, the Pokémon Centers in these regions have a basement, where the Wi-Fi Club is located, for people to connect to each other if they are registered on each other's [[Pal Pad]]. Here they can battle and trade, and they can talk to each other through the built-in microphone of the DS, instead of with a chat box like it was in [[Generation III]].

====Wi-Fi Plaza====
The [[Wi-Fi Plaza]] is an enhancement to the Wi-Fi Club in Pokémon Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver. It is found downstairs in the Pokémon Center. Players from around the world can enter a "plaza" to make Poffins and play mini-games together via Nintendo Wi-Fi. The player can walk around the plaza and communicate with other players in the plaza. A leap in multiplayer gameplay is introduced, allowing up to twenty players to enter the Wi-Fi Plaza at a time. The player may only spend a certain amount of time at the Wi-Fi Plaza each day.

===Generation V===
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the Poké Mart has been combined with the Pokémon Center.
[[File:CoroCoro_BW6.jpg|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]

==In the anime==
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, a [[Nurse Joy]] heads each Pokémon Center. The healing process takes place in real time, unlike in the games. All Pokémon Centers are connected and, in times of crisis, all Pokémon can be [[Pokémon storage system|transferred]] from one to another, as seen in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]''.
[[Image:CeruleanPokecenter.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Cerulean City]] Pokémon Center as it appears in the anime]][[File:Pokémon Center heal.png|thumb|left|Ash's Pokémon going to be treated|220px]]

Pokémon Centers are designed for Trainers so they can rest between {{pkmn|training|activities}}. Trainers use Centers as gathering places, so they can share information about Pokémon. They also have access to video phones, PC with trading functions and most offer free food and lodging. Inside a typical Pokémon Center, one can find a front desk, a lobby (sometimes with vending machines), a [[Poké Ball]] room, an Emergency Room with plenty of beds for injured Pokémon, a recovery room, a waiting room, rooms for lodging, and a cafeteria. It is unknown how these activities performed by a Pokémon Center are financed. On the outside, they come in all shapes and sizes, but usually have a rather large ''P'' somewhere.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Pokémon Centers. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: ジョーイさん　あいたくなったら　ポケモンセンター ''Jōi-san aitaku nattara, Pokémon sentā.'' "When I want to meet Nurse Joy, Pokémon Center."
* If a Trainer gets at least four stars on their {{ga|Trainer card}} in [[Generation IV]], the nurse at the Pokémon Center will make special mention of this, and then refer to the player by name upon subsequent visits.
* A man in the [[Resort Area]] describes how Pokémon Centers come to be in an area. When [[Pokémon]] appear, Trainers will also come. When Trainers appear, Pokémon Centers will also come about.
* The Pokémon Center's theme music has remained essentially the same throughout the franchise. It is notably different at [[time|night time]] in [[Generation IV]].
*A remix of the theme music was used in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
* In the Japanese versions of the [[Generation II]] games, the sign of Johto's Pokémon Centers have a Poké Ball logo and the letters PC while Kanto's use the same sign as [[Generation I]]. However, the Generation I sign was used for both regions in the international versions.
*In [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]], the phrase the nurse says after healing your Pokémon is changed from "We hope to see you again!" to "Please, come back again any time!" It was probably changed because the phrase "We hope to see you again!" can be taken to mean that the nurse wants your pokemon to get hurt, as the main reason for going to a Pokémon Center is to heal hurt Pokémon.

The counter on the right contains the Cable Club, which allows players to link with each other. Talking to the women at the desk will allow the player to enter the Cable Club.

Players can link together to simply battle each other in a one-on-one fight and trade Pokémon with each other. Two players linked by a first generation [[Link Cable]] can enter the cable club. Pokémon Yellow featured an extended version of the Cable Club with the option to choose special battle rules or cups.

[[Image:Gscpokecenter.PNG‎|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
[[Image:PCCenter.gif|frame|left|Inside of the Pokémon Communications Center in {{game|Crystal}}, with dialog translated.]]
In Generation II, to accommodate greater linkup functionality, the Pokémon Centers of both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] expanded to two floors. On the first floor remained the counter where a nurse would heal Pokémon, as well as a PC, while on the second floor resided the Cable Club.

====Cable Club====
Located upstairs in Pokémon Centers throughout [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], this Cable Club consisted of three rooms. The Cable Club Trade Center facilitated trading, the Cable Club Colosseum allowed battling, and the Cable Club [[Time Capsule]] provided a way to trade Pokémon with the [[Generation I]] games. Because there were no female [[player character]]s prior to {{ga|Kris}}'s introduction in {{game|Crystal}}, a player who has chosen Kris must be "changed" into the {{ga|Ethan|male player}} sprite before they may link with any other game. This is still the case if the game is linked with another copy of Crystal Version, even though sprite data for the female choice exists.

Two players can enter the Cable Club with a first generation {{wp|Game Link Cable}}.

====Johto Mobile Center====
Only in the Japanese Crystal version, the Pokémon Communication Center in [[Goldenrod City]]. Added was the ability to battle over mobile phones upstairs, and two new items downstairs: Pokémon News, a news machine which aggregated news about Trainer accomplishments and Trade Corner, which let a Trainer place a Pokémon up for trade. This process was in essence a prototype for the [[GTS]].

===Generation III===
[[File:RSEpokecenter.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}]]
[[File:FRLGCenterInside.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
Pokémon Centers during Generation III remained in a two-floor setup, similar to the way they were in Generation II. The only difference is that the stairs to the second floor are larger and more noticeable, taking the shape of an escalator.

In [[Orre]], there is only one official Pokémon Center. It is located in [[Phenac City]].

[[Image:Phenac Pokémon Center.png|thumb|left|Inside the Pokémon Center in [[Phenac City]]]]
====Cable Club====
Similar to the Cable Club in Johto, the [[Hoenn]] Cable Club's Pokémon Center has a Cable Club Colosseum and a Cable Club Trade Center. Now four players can link with a third generation {{wp|Game Link Cable}} to battle in a [[double battle]]. A new feature was added to the Cable Club called the Cable Club Record Center, which allows two to four trainers to swap data. Similar to the Pokémon News in Crystal version, swapped trainer data shows up on [[television]] shows on televisions found all across Hoenn. Also, trainers' [[secret base]]s are copied over in the record mixing.

====Wireless Club====
The [[Generation III]] Kanto and {{v2|Emerald}} version Hoenn have a Wireless Club. The Wireless Club meets in the [[Union Room]], where up to 40 trainers may (in groups of five) talk and battle, as well as trade via a trading board similar to the Crystal version Trade Corner. The Cable Club's room has the standard Trade Center and Colosseum. Pokémon Emerald version's Cable Club also has the Record Center.

===Generation IV===
[[File:Dppokecenter.PNG‎|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}]]
[[File:HGSSPokéCenter.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
In Generation IV, Pokémon Centers introduce a basement floor, utilizing Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Opposite the second floor escalator, another escalator downstairs to the basement appears. While the second floor retains the same functionality that it did during Generation III with four player on the DS's wireless connection, the basement floor is where players can link up with others around the world using {{wp|Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection}}. The first floor, as always, is where a player can heal their Pokémon and a [[PC]]. As of {{game|Platinum}} players can also challenge a Trainer or Trainers inside some Pokémon Centers.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} the Pokémon Center was redesigned again. The second floor became a mezzanine, located above and directly behind the main desk, and two staircases were added on each side of the desk for access to it. The PC was moved to the corner of the desk. All functions remain the same. The player's [[Walking_Pokémon#Pokémon_HeartGold_and_SoulSilver|partner Pokémon]] will return to its [[Poké Ball]] while being healed. Also, if the first Pokémon in the player's party had been fainted prior to healing, it will return to being the partner as soon as it has been revived.

{{sign|DPcity|Heal Your Pokémon!}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|Pokémon Center}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}
====Wireless Club====
In [[Generation IV]], Sinnoh and Johto both have a wireless club just like [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]], but with a lack of a Record Center. However, the Pokémon Centers in these regions have a basement, where the Wi-Fi Club is located, for people to connect to each other if they are registered on each other's [[Pal Pad]]. Here they can battle and trade, and they can talk to each other through the built-in microphone of the DS, instead of with a chat box like it was in [[Generation III]].

====Wi-Fi Plaza====
The [[Wi-Fi Plaza]] is an enhancement to the Wi-Fi Club in Pokémon Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver. It is found downstairs in the Pokémon Center. Players from around the world can enter a "plaza" to make Poffins and play mini-games together via Nintendo Wi-Fi. The player can walk around the plaza and communicate with other players in the plaza. A leap in multiplayer gameplay is introduced, allowing up to twenty players to enter the Wi-Fi Plaza at a time. The player may only spend a certain amount of time at the Wi-Fi Plaza each day.

==Generation V==
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the Poké Mart has been combined with the Pokémon Center.
[[File:CoroCoro_BW6.jpg|thumb|right|Poké Mart in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]

==In the anime==
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, a [[Nurse Joy]] heads each Pokémon Center. The healing process takes place in real time, unlike in the games. All Pokémon Centers are connected and, in times of crisis, all Pokémon can be [[Pokémon storage system|transferred]] from one to another, as seen in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]''.
[[Image:CeruleanPokecenter.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Cerulean City]] Pokémon Center as it appears in the anime]][[File:Pokémon Center heal.png|thumb|left|Ash's Pokémon going to be treated|220px]]

Pokémon Centers are designed for Trainers so they can rest between {{pkmn|training|activities}}. Trainers use Centers as gathering places, so they can share information about Pokémon. They also have access to video phones, PC with trading functions and most offer free food and lodging. Inside a typical Pokémon Center, one can find a front desk, a lobby (sometimes with vending machines), a [[Poké Ball]] room, an Emergency Room with plenty of beds for injured Pokémon, a recovery room, a waiting room, rooms for lodging, and a cafeteria. It is unknown how these activities performed by a Pokémon Center are financed. On the outside, they come in all shapes and sizes, but usually have a rather large ''P'' somewhere.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Pokémon Centers. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: ジョーイさん　あいたくなったら　ポケモンセンター ''Jōi-san aitaku nattara, Pokémon sentā.'' "When I want to meet Nurse Joy, Pokémon Center."
* If a Trainer gets at least four stars on their {{ga|Trainer card}} in [[Generation IV]], the nurse at the Pokémon Center will make special mention of this, and then refer to the player by name upon subsequent visits.
* A man in the [[Resort Area]] describes how Pokémon Centers come to be in an area. When [[Pokémon]] appear, Trainers will also come. When Trainers appear, Pokémon Centers will also come about.
* The Pokémon Center's theme music has remained essentially the same throughout the franchise. It is notably different at [[time|night time]] in [[Generation IV]].
*A remix of the theme music was used in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
* In the Japanese versions of the [[Generation II]] games, the sign of Johto's Pokémon Centers have a Poké Ball logo and the letters PC while Kanto's use the same sign as [[Generation I]]. However, the Generation I sign was used for both regions in the international versions.
*In [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]], the phrase the nurse says after healing your Pokémon is changed from "We hope to see you again!" to "Please, come back again any time!" It was probably changed because the phrase "We hope to see you again!" can be taken to mean that the nurse wants your pokemon to get hurt, as the main reason for going to a Pokémon Center is to heal hurt Pokémon.

Poké Mart

{{incomplete|needs=side game information (MD Kecleon shops), XD: Gale of Darkness, Colosseum}}
[[File:PokemartHGSS.png|frame|right|Poké Mart in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
A '''Poké Mart''' (Japanese: '''フレンドリィショップ''' ''Friendly Shop'') is a convenience store that sells supplies necessary for [[Pokémon training]]. A Poké Mart's stock varies with its location, such as Poké Balls being available in [[Viridian City]] and Ultra Balls being available in [[Cinnabar Island]]. Some sell more items than others. Poké Marts also buy many different items in exchange for [[Pokémon Dollars|money]]. Much of the merchandise sold at such stores is produced by either [[Silph Co.]] or the [[Devon Corporation]].

Almost all cities, both major and minor, have Poké Marts, the exception being some which have local medicine shops. Notably, the town players start at in each main game does not have a Poké Mart. An interesting thing to note is that in the {{Pkmn|anime}}, Poké Marts do not seem to be as ubiquitous as in the games.

When the [[Mystery Gift]] function on a game cartridge is activated, a deliveryman may appear in Poké Marts with gifts for the {{player}}. The deliveryman only appears when a Mystery Gift is received by the cartridge. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} the deliveryman will give the player a range of items, including [[Potion]]s and [[Berry|Berries]], when [[Badges]] are collected.

In [[Generation IV]], there are two vendors in each Poké Mart. One will sell standard items, and the other will sell regional specialties. Unlike in previous games, rather than the items and their quantity varying by location, the merchandise's availability will increase with each [[Badge]] obtained. For example, if all Badges are under a player's possession, the same items will be found at each Poké Mart around [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]].

==Generation I==
[[File:Oaks_parcel.PNG|thumb|right|Poké Mart in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}]]
The player will come across their first Poké Mart in [[Viridian City]], as they travel across the town. If the player enters the Poké Mart in [[Viridian City]] for the first time, the clerk will ask the player to deliver {{DL|List of key items in Generation I|Oak's Parcel|a package}} to [[Professor Oak]] in [[Pallet Town]]. The [[Old man (Kanto)|old man]] to the north of the city will not move until the package is delivered to Professor Oak, and Poké Balls cannot be bought in Viridian City until the player has returned from this errand.

On {{rt|1}}, a man who works at the Poké Mart in Viridian City will give out a free sample of {{DL|Potion|Potion}} to Trainers who chat with him.

==Generation II==
[[File:Poké Mart GSC interior.png|frame|right|Poké Mart in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
The first Poké Mart is encountered in [[Cherrygrove City]], where all basic items are available aside from [[Poké Ball]]s, which they will not have in stock until after the player completes the errand to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house, fights {{ga|Silver}}, and returns to [[New Bark Town]] to report to [[Professor Elm]].

Every Poké Mart in Generation II has a different appearance, each based on the style used in its hometown, making the most of the transition from the original [[Game Boy]] to the [[Game Boy Color]].

==Generation III==

[[File:Pokemart FRLG.png|thumb|right|Poké Mart in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the Poké Mart is introduced by a salesman in [[Oldale Town]], who directs the player to the local Poké Mart before giving the player a [[Potion]] as a gift. Like in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there is no supply of [[Poké Ball]]s, and they will not be in stock until after the player challenges their [[rival]] on {{rt|103}} and visits [[Professor Birch]] for the second time.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, all situations are the same as in [[Generation I]], with {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Oak's Parcel}} required for delivery before the Poké Mart in Viridian City will have Poké Balls available.

A new feature is introduced to Poké Marts in Generation III, the ability to answer surveys inside the Poké Mart. These surveys will allow the activation of [[Mystery Gift]]. To activate the Mystery Gift feature in the Generation III games, players need only to walk up to the clipboard found at any Poké Mart and enter a phase. The clerk behind the counter will then inform them that the Mystery Gift feature has been activated, and it will be available on the main menu from that point on.

==Generation IV==
[[File:Poke Mart.png|thumb|right|Poké Mart in {{game|Platinum}}]]
[[File:Poké Mart HGSS.png|thumb|right|Poké Mart in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Poké Mart is introduced by the [[rival]] after taking their tour of [[Sandgem Town]]. The Poké Mart expands its supplies as the player wins [[badge|gym badges]]. There are two cashiers in this generation; the one on the right sells items that can be found in any town, while the one on the left sells goods unique to that location, such as specialty [[Poké Ball]]s or [[mail]].

Whenever the player receives an [[event item|item]] or [[event Pokémon|Pokémon]] from a [[Nintendo event]], a deliveryman wearing a green uniform will appear next to the counter to give the player the item.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, all Poké Marts are the same as in Generation II. The sales method, however, carries over from Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. In these games, the deliveryman wears a red uniform.

[[File:Celadon Department Store.png|thumb|right|Celadon Department Store]]
A Department Store is the largest shop in a region, selling a variety of different items, including items that are not sold in a regular Poké Mart, such as [[TM]]s. Every region has a Department Store in it, usually in the region's largest city. Department Stores have several levels, usually selling a different type of item on each level.

===Cianwood City Pharmacy===
{{main|Cianwood City}}
The Cianwood City Pharmacy is a small pharmacy located in [[Cianwood City]], [[Johto]]. It is over 500 years old and it sells a variety of rare goods. The Cianwood City Pharmacy sells remedies exclusive to the town. [[Jasmine]] will ask the player to fetch [[Amphy|her Ampharos]] some [[SecretPotion|medicine]] from there. After giving Jasmine the medicine, players can return to the Pharmacy to find that Potions and Full Heals are in stock.

===Mahogany Town Shop===
Mahogany Town, as a result of its small population, does not have a Poké Mart. Instead, a small convenience store is run which stocks basic supplies for Pokémon Trainers. This shop is secretly a cover for a [[Team Rocket]] operation at the [[Lake of Rage]]; a [[Team Rocket HQ|secret basement]] is their base of operations. Once they have been defeated, the shop remains simply a shop.

===Two Island Market Stall===
{{main|Two Island (town)}}
[[Two Island (town)|Two Island]], rather than having a Poké Mart, has a market stall that sells special items. Similar to the Poké Marts in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the variety of items increases with each advancement into the story. After beating the [[Kanto Elite Four]], certain items originating in Johto and Hoenn are available. Notably, the stall is mentioned as selling [[Rage Candy Bar]]s (here spelled Rage Candybar), though they never in stock in-game.

===Celestic Town Shop===
{{main|Celestic Town}}

In [[Celestic Town]], there is no Poké Mart, so an elderly couple run a shop out of their house. A man standing in the shop gives away three pairs of glasses to the {{player}} depending on the time of day. He gives away {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Specs}} in the morning, {{DL|Type-enhancing item|BlackGlasses}} during the day, and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Wise Glasses}} at night.

In the Mystery Dungeon side-series, there is no Poké Mart, as it takes place in an alternate world. However, two {{p|Kecleon}} run their own shop, which has the same basic purpose as a Poké Mart. They run these both in and out of dungeons, selling [[Wonder Orbs]] and other items that can be held in the {{player}}'s [[Treasure Bag]].

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation III]], the poster behind the Poké Mart clerk's desk says "It's an advertising poster about all kinds of products."
** There are also leftover door tiles for the Poké Marts in Hoenn.
* [[Generation IV]] is the only generation where there is no sign saying "Mart" on the front.
* The Poké Mart music has changed in every generation. In [[Generation I]], it shared its music with the Pokémon Center, and in [[Generation II]], its music was the same as the city or town the player was in. [[Generation III]] was the first generation to introduce separate music for the Poké Mart which was in use in [[Generation IV]] as well.

List of Pokémon with form differences

2010-02-18T04:51:43Z

MatoroBro0107:

While there are 495 officially recognized [[Pokémon|species of Pokémon]], with most members of an individual species looking relatively similar to one another, several Pokémon species have remarkable '''differences in appearance''' between members. At times, these differences are purely cosmetic, and have no bearing on the difference in the Pokémon's stats from another, however, several Pokémon not only differ in stats, but also type, depending on their form.

Among these are several [[legendary Pokémon]], whose unique forms can be changed between at will, and are spelled officially as "Formes". Many of the forms are known to have special names, while others do not, and are thus only named in [[fanon]]. Whichever form is encountered first will be the form displayed in the [[Pokédex]] by default; i.e., a player who encountered a West Sea Shellos would have it appear in the Pokédex by default, while one who encounters an East Sea Shellos first would see that Shellos appear in the Pokédex first.

==Pokémon with differing forms==
===Pichu===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, an alternate from of {{p|Pichu}} will appear. This Pichu has a tuft of hair on the end of its left ear, and is known as the [[Spiky-Eared Pichu]]. Spiky-Eared Pichu's [[Pokéthlon]] [[performance]] stats are different than a normal Pichu's.

|- align="center"
| Normal [[Image:172.png]]
| Spiky-Eared [[Image:172N.png]]
|}

===Unown===
{{p|Unown}} was the first known Pokémon which had visual differences between individuals of the species. From the species' debut in [[Generation II]], each Unown would have an appearance similar to that of one of the twenty-six letters of the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}. In [[Generation III]], two more forms were added, corresponding to the {{wp|question mark}} and {{wp|exclamation point}}.

A special [[Unown Dex]], an upgrade to the Pokédex that was developed by the researchers at the [[Ruins of Alph]] to record the different forms of Unown, was available in [[Generation II]] after the player had caught several Unown. This was superseded in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} by the [[Unown Notebook]], obtainable after the player completes the first tile puzzle in the [[Ruins of Alph]].

Unown's form is determined in [[Generation III]] based on its [[personality value]]. Though the form has no bearing on [[base stats]], ! and ? Unown have different [[performance]] stats than their alphabetical brethren.

|}

===Spinda===
Like Unown, {{p|Spinda}} has many visual variations in its species, all involving the placement of its spots. Like Unown's letter, the spot placement is generated based on the individual's [[personality value]], and likewise, has no effect on the Pokémon's stats. Unlike Unown, however, these differences are rarely repeated, as the calculation uses the entirety of the personality value—a number that can [[Personality value#Spinda's spots|range]] from [[Spinda (Pokémon)#Trivia|zero to 4,294,967,295]] (232 - 1).

| width="33%" | Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver [[Image:Spr 4d 327.png]]
|}

===Castform===
{{p|Castform}}'s first appearance at [[Hoenn]]'s [[Weather Institute]] in [[Generation III]] brought about the concept of interchangeable forms. Unlike other Pokémon, an individual Castform's form is not static, and will change, due to its [[ability]], with the [[weather]].

Normally, Castform takes on a rather plain appearance, with a gray body. In this form, it is of the {{type2|Normal}}; as could be expected, it is in this form that it is at its least effective.

When Castform is exposed to [[Weather conditions#Intense sunlight|bright rays of sunlight]], it changes its form to a more sunny appearance, and becomes the {{type2|Fire}} Sunny Castform. In [[Weather conditions#Heavy rain|rain]], Castform becomes more like a raindrop, and it assumes the {{type2|Water}} as Rain Castform. Finally, in [[Weather conditions#Hailstorm|hail]], Castform becomes Snow-cloud Castform, an {{type2|Ice}}. While its [[stats]] themselves do not change in these new forms, its former signature move, {{m|Weather Ball}}, doubles in power. Castform will not transform in other weather conditions.

| width="25%" style="background: #{{ice color light}}; -moz-border-radius: 10px;" | Snow-cloud Castform [[Image:351H.png]] {{typecolor|Ice}}
|}

===Deoxys===
{{p|Deoxys}}, the final Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] as of [[Generation III]], was the first known Pokémon whose [[base stats]] and [[move]] compatibility differed, as well as its appearance, depending on its form. First introduced in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', Deoxys was revealed to have three alternating forms, while a fourth was added later, with the release of {{game|Emerald}}. Like its base stats, its Pokéthlon [[performance]] varies depending on its form.

Deoxys's forms are game-specific in [[Generation III]], but can be changed at will in [[Generation IV]] by inspecting the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]] and {{rt|3}} in [[Kanto]].

Deoxys's Normal Forme is the default form it takes, as well as the form it appears in in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. In this form, its stats are more balanced, though it is notably far more offensive than it is defensive.

It is in this form that Deoxys will be found in the wild on [[Birth Island]], though it will transform after it has been captured, depending on its [[Generation III]] game version.

The Attack Forme is the appearance that Deoxys takes on in {{game|FireRed}}, and it learns noticeably more powerful moves while in this form. Its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats have been maxed out, making it the most powerful of all Pokémon in both aspects, while its {{stat|Speed}} remains the same as its default form. Its defensive stats, however, take a harsh blow, lowering so much that it is only more powerful in {{stat|Defense}} than seven Pokémon (tied with three others), and is tied for last place in {{stat|Special Defense}} with five others, including {{p|Magikarp}}.

In {{game|LeafGreen}}, the counterpart version to FireRed, Deoxys takes on a counterpart form to the Attack Forme, the Defense Forme. Whereas the Attack Forme had incredible offensive power (and incredibly weak defensive capabilities), Defense Forme inverts this somewhat, having mediocre offensive power (and a lower Speed stat) and heightened {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}. This form of Deoxys learns moves more attuned to attrition than to elimination, raising its already high defenses to protect against opponents' moves rather than attack them before they can attack.

By far the quickest of all Pokémon, Deoxys in its Speed Forme learns many moves that can guarantee that it will strike before any other Pokémon can. Though it can still be outsped by a Pokémon with {{a|Speed Boost}}, Speed Forme Deoxys takes the uneven nature of the stats of Deoxys's other forms and balances them out, keeping it from hitting too hard, but at the same time, preventing it from being hit too hard itself.

|}

===Burmy and Wormadam===
Both {{p|Burmy}} and its female evolution, {{p|Wormadam}}, have three separate forms, being the first Pokémon whose evolution depends on a specific form. Like others, Burmy can change form freely, depending on where it last participated in a battle actively ([[Exp. Share]] maintains a Burmy's form if it does not leave the [[Poké Ball]]); however, Wormadam's form is permanent.

If a Burmy last battled or was hatched in a grassy outside area, it will be in its basic state, the Plant Cloak. This form of Burmy is covered in leaves and twigs, and if female, will eventually evolve into Wormadam in its Plant Cloak, a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon.

After battle on a beach or in a cave, or if it is hatched there, Burmy will be in a sand-and-rock-covered form, its Sandy Cloak. If a female, it will eventually become Wormadam in its Sandy Cloak, which is, rather than Bug and Grass, a {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon.

Finally, if a battle has been conducted inside of a building, or if this is where Burmy hatches from its egg, it will be in a pink {{wp|building insulation|insulation}}-covered form, the Trash Cloak. Like the other forms, if it becomes Wormadam while in this form, it will be the {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Wormadam Trash Cloak.

A Wormadam's stats and move compatibility vary with her form, in addition to type and appearance. The cloak a male Burmy takes on before evolution makes no difference in the long run, as it sheds it upon evolution into {{p|Mothim}}.

|}

===Cherrim===
Like Castform, {{p|Cherrim}} changes its appearance depending on the weather, though not with all kinds. Cherrim's official form names were known as the Overcast and Sunshine forms per an official {{game|Platinum}} walkthrough, but official Japanese form names were revealed to be the Nega-Forme and the Posi-Forme in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. It will be in its Sunshine form in [[Weather_effect#Intense_sunlight|harsh sunlight]] and its Overcast form in any other weather. Due to its {{a|Flower Gift|ability}}, its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} will also increase in its Sunshine form. Unlike Castform, however, its type does not change.

===Shellos and Gastrodon===
Another [[Sinnoh]]-native [[evolution]] family, {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} also have a difference, depending on, this time, whether the Pokémon in question was caught east or west of [[Mt. Coronet]]. Like others before, neither form can change to the other, but unlike other multiple-form Pokémon, the appearance of the mother is the determinant to the appearance of the hatched Pokémon.

Both West Sea Shellos and Gastrodon take on a pink appearance, while their East Sea cousins take on a blue hue. There is also a slight difference in bodily appearance depending on the form.

===Rotom===
In August of 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, five silhouetted Pokémon were shown, with a statement that indicated that these Pokémon would be in the game. Days before the game's release, it was revealed that these Pokémon were alternate forms of {{p|Rotom}}.

In each of these forms, Rotom has possessed a different {{wp|household appliance}}, and each has its own special [[move]]. Heat Rotom, which is based on a {{wp|microwave oven}}, can have {{m|Overheat}}, Wash Rotom, based on a {{wp|washing machine}}, learns {{m|Hydro Pump}} on assuming that form, Frost Rotom, a {{wp|refrigerator}}, learns {{m|Blizzard}}, Fan Rotom, based on a {{wp|fan (mechanical|fan}}, learns {{m|Air Slash}}, and Mow Rotom, based on a {{wp|lawnmower}}, learns {{m|Leaf Storm}}.

Despite this new variance in move types, all forms of Rotom retain their {{2t|Ghost|Electric}} typing, though all alternate forms have the same slightly higher base stat total than Normal Rotom.

|}

===Giratina===
{{p|Giratina}}, much like Deoxys had been earlier, was announced to have an alternate form in the then-upcoming ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' in February, 2008. One of the two forms is the familiar form to players of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, designated as Altered Forme Giratina, while the other is a more serpentine form that was not previously known, the Origin Forme.

The Origin Forme is known as Giratina's natural form, which it appears in in its home of the [[Reverse World]]. If it travels to the [[Pokémon world]], it assumes its Altered Forme. Both Formes appear in {{game|Platinum}}, where Giratina is captured in the [[Distortion World]], its home, in its more offense-oriented Origin Forme, and will revert to the defensive Altered Forme outside of this area unless it holds the [[Type-enhancing item#Griseous Orb|Griseous Orb]].

|}

===Shaymin===
As with Giratina, an alternate form of the event Pokémon {{p|Shaymin}} was announced to appear in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and is, in fact, the titular sky warrior. This new Sky Forme of Shaymin, with the previously-known form now called the Land Forme, has a completely altered appearance and, rather than being a pure-{{type2|Grass}}, is now {{2t|Grass|Flying}}.

Like Giratina and Deoxys's transformations are activated by an external source, Shaymin's is activated by contact with a {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}}, whose bouquets look almost like a sleeping Shaymin.

It is interesting to note that upon changing forms, Shaymin also changes its cry. It is the only Pokémon to do so.

|}

===Arceus===
{{p|Arceus}} has eighteen different forms, each with a slightly different coloration, which correspond to the eighteen different [[elemental types]].

Arceus's transformation between these Formes is brought about by its held item: if it is holding a [[plate]], it draws its type from that plate as stated in [[Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh's mythology]], while remaining {{type2|Normal}} when not holding a plate or holding any non-plate item. The {{type2|???}} Forme of Arceus is currently unavailable in any legitimate manner, as there is no plate to turn it to this type. Educated speculation attributes this to an attempt made by Nintendo to prevent the game from freezing if a ???-type Forme Arceus is hacked into the game.

While its base stats remain constant despite its changing type, its Pokéthlon performance changes slightly.

===Other Pokémon===
*The [[Generation I]] [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Arbok}} state that the markings on its belly differ between [[region]]s. The pattern has differed in sprites; however, this is dependent on the game rather than the Pokémon.
*{{p|Shellder}} also changes between bivalve and spiral-shaped variations depending on whether or not it is attached to a {{p|Slowpoke}}'s {{p|Slowking|head}} or {{p|Slowbro|tail}}.
*In [[Generation IV]], there are many Pokémon that [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|appear differently]] as a result of their [[gender]].
*[[Shadow Lugia|XD001]] was a {{pkmn2|Shadow}} {{p|Lugia}} so thoroughly corrupted that its appearance changed.
*[[Primal Dialga|A Dialga]] also changed its appearance when it lost control of time in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}.
*{{p|Mantyke}}'s Pokédex entry in Pearl says that the special patterns on its back vary from region to region. Unlike Arbok, however, its backsprite shows no difference between Sinnoh and Johto games.

MatoroBro0107:

In a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s [[Pokédex]] information, the '''species''' is a name which identifies the Pokémon based on one of its defining biological characteristics. Most often, the defining traits are part of the Pokémon's physiology, special abilities, or behavior.

This term should not be confused with a Pokémon species, since several different Pokémon can be identified by the same species in the Pokédex, no matter how distantly related. This term should also not be confused with the real world definition of {{wp|species}}, since it has nothing to do with which Pokémon are able to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] and produce fertile offspring; in fact, breeding among Pokémon can easily occur between species since it is controlled by [[egg groups]].

Because of how brief and uninformative the description of a Pokémon often is in its species, and how little the species relates to other data, it is not often regarded as an important piece of information about a Pokémon.

Like many names in the [[Pokémon games]], a species name has a character limit, and will always be twelve characters or less in length, including spaces but not including "Pokémon".

==Trivia==
* Several Pokémon have had their species altered between generations. This is primarily due to character limitations in earlier Pokémon games. {{p|Squirtle}}, as an example, was originally the "Tinyturtle Pokémon". It was later listed as the "Tiny Turtle Pokémon".
* The species names present in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} are cut off in early English releases of the games, most specifically those species names made up of more than one word with a space in between. This causes Pokémon like Pidgey to be listed as "Tiny Pokémon" rather than "Tiny Bird Pokémon". [[Pokédex data structure in Generation III|Internal game data]] lists the species name the same as it appears in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and other games, indicating a glitch in the Pokédex where a blank space is confused for the terminating byte for the name. This was addressed in later releases of the game.

List of Pokémon by evolutionary line

2010-02-11T20:06:06Z

MatoroBro0107: /* Unknown Region-based evolution families */

This is a list of Pokémon by their evolution family. That is, it is a list of Pokémon in their [[National Pokédex]] [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|order]], however, it includes [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|later-released]] [[evolution]]s and [[Baby Pokémon|pre-evolutions]] closer to the first Pokémon in their family to be released. This means that {{p|Pichu}} will appear before {{p|Pikachu}}, instead of at its National Pokédex position of 172, and {{p|Magby}} and {{p|Magmortar}} will appear next to {{p|Magmar}}. Evolution families are named by their basic evolutionary form. For example, although {{p|Azurill}} is the lowest Pokémon in its evolutionary line, it is still known as the {{p|Marill}} family, because Marill was released first.

==Trivia==
*[[Professor Rowan]] is said in the games to have studied Pokémon evolution and determined that 90% of all Pokémon are related in some way by evolution. As of [[Generation IV]], with 77 (42 normal, 35 legendary) Pokémon out of 493 total, this is pretty accurate, as a little over 84% of all Pokémon undergo at least one evolution before being fully evolved, while excluding legendaries, which do not evolve as a rule, brings this percentage to just over 91%.{{tt|*|Note that this does include Pokémon that do not evolve but are still closely related, such as Volbeat and Illumise.}} In previous generations:
**25 (20 normal, five legendary) Pokémon did not evolve, with percentages of 83% including and 86% excluding legendaries.{{tt|*|Note that this does include Pokémon that do not evolve but are still closely related, such as Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee.}}
**43 (32 normal, 11 legendary) Pokémon did not evolve, with percentages of 83% including and 87% excluding legendaries.{{tt|*|Note that this does include Pokémon that do not evolve but are still closely related, such as Tauros and Miltank.}}
**73 (52 normal, 21 legendary) Pokémon did not evolve, with percentages of 81% including and 87% excluding legendaries.{{tt|*|Note that this does include Pokémon that do not evolve but are still closely related, such as Plusle and Minun.}}
*By far, most three-stage evolution families were introduced in Generation I, with 27 such families having their roots there (though not necessarily their most unevolved or most evolved forms). Because of branch evolution, 29 of the second-evolution Pokémon can count themselves as members of a Generation I evolution family. Generation III has the next most, with 16 three-stage families that end in 18 Pokémon (again due to branching), while Generation II and Generation IV have the least, with only nine and six families, respectively, that end in a third member.

{{ElementalTypes|dark}}
{{TypeNotice|Dark|あく|Aku}}
Some notable trainers of Dark-types include [[Karen]] of the [[Indigo Plateau|Johto]] [[Elite Four]] and [[Sidney]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four. Notably, the Dark-type is the only type that has not had at least one [[Pokémon Gym]] dedicated to it.

==Characteristics==
Dark-type Pokémon were added in [[Generation II]].

Dark-type Pokémon are notable for the fact that they don't have any strong stat trends other than Attack (which is in and of itself modified by a few powerful outliers and slightly ironic as Dark was a special type, not a physical type), but usually have relatively poor defenses, with the exception of {{p|Umbreon}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} (the second is probably due to {{t|Rock|its other type}}). Just the same, Pokémon that are both Dark-type and {{type2|Ghost}} have no true weaknesses, as the resistances of the Dark-type cover the weaknesses of Ghost, and vice-versa. One of the greatest advantages of the Dark-type is that they are immune to {{type2|Psychic}}s.

Dark-type moves, when combating Psychic-types, are especially useful due to their secondary effects; {{m|Crunch}} lowers Defense (an already low stat among Psychic-types), {{m|Bite}} causes {{Status|flinch|Flinching}}, {{m|Faint Attack}} never misses, {{m|Night Slash}} has a high [[critical hit]] ratio while {{m|Pursuit}} hits Pokémon as they switch for double damage. Many Dark-type moves also involve stealing or deception, such as moves like {{m|Thief}}, which steals an opponent's held item, and {{m|Snatch}}, which steals the beneficial effects of an opponent's moves.

Interestingly, despite the fact that in generations prior to [[Generation IV]], all Dark-type moves were [[special move]]s, there is only ''one'' special Dark-type move in Generation IV (Dark Pulse), which itself was introduced in that generation, meaning all Dark-type moves from before are actually considered [[physical move]]s.

When used in contests, Dark-type moves typically are of the [[Smart Contest|Smart]] category, but can also fall in any of the other four Contest categories.

In total, there are 23 Pokémon with the Dark-type.

==Trivia==
* There are no Dark-type moves with a base power greater than 80, making it the only elemental type without a single move with a base power of 100 or more (other than {{m|Judgment}}). This means that while holding the {{DL|Plate|Dread Plate}}, {{p|Arceus}}'s {{m|Judgment}} becomes the strongest Dark-type move with 100 power.
* None of the main characters of the {{pkmn|anime}} own a Dark-type Pokémon. However, {{Ash}}, [[James]], and {{an|May}} own or have owned Pokémon that can evolve into a Dark-type.
* Officially, this type's Brazilian Portuguese translation is "Noturno", but at times it is named as "Sombrio" or "Trevas" as well. However, ''Sombrio'' means Shadow, another type.
* The Dark-type is the only type which does not have members from all generations released so far.
** It is also the only type absent from a [[regional Pokédex]], not appearing in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]].
** The opposite is true for moves, with {{m|Bite}}'s change from being a {{type2|Normal}} to a Dark-type move causing there to be Dark-type moves from all four generations.
* {{m|Dark Void}} is the only Dark-type move without 100% accuracy or higher.
* There has yet to be a [[Pokémon Gym]] that specializes in the Dark-type. Despite this, there have been two [[Elite Four]] members who specialize in Dark-type Pokémon.

'''Arceus''' (Japanese: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a major character from ''[[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Its Japanese voice actor is ''Akihiro Miwa''.

Arceus made its debut in ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life''. Thousands of years in the past, when the world was threatened by a meteor, Arceus summoned all its power and tackled the massive rock, destroying it. However, in the process Arceus lost the sixteen [[Plates]] that gave it life and began to die. At this time it met [[Damos]], who found one of the missing Plates and returned it, giving Arceus strength to pull back the others and recover fully. In gratitude for Damos's actions, Arceus detached five of its Plates and formed the [[Jewel of Life]], which it loaned to him in order to make the desolate wasteland of [[Michina Town]] rich and fertile.

Arceus did, however, stipulate that the Jewel of Life had to be returned. The date was the next solar eclipse - an event that was a harbinger of Arceus's appearance - but when Arceus appeared to reclaim the Jewel, Damos viciously attacked it with the intent to kill. Arceus managed to fight off the attack and counter, killing Damos, then it went into a deep sleep, vowing to {{m|Judgment|judge}} humanity when it next appeared.

Its next appearance came in the era of [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and [[Ash's friends|his friends]], in which it appeared in Michina Town and began passing down its Judgment to destroy the city. [[Sheena]] attempted to return the Jewel of Life in this era but unwittingly gave it a fake, making it even angrier. When the [[dragon trio]] appeared to protect the world from Arceus, {{an|Palkia}} restrained it while {{an|Dialga}} sent the heroes back in time to Damos's betrayal.

In the ancient past the group discovers that Damos was controlled by another man, [[Marcus]], who had grown bitter with his belief that returning the Jewel of Life to Arceus would result in Michina Town once again becoming desolate and wished to destroy it to prevent such events. By manipulating Sheena, Marcus nearly succeeded in killing Arceus and permanently altering the fabric of spacetime, but with Damos's help the group managed to save Arceus and defeat Marcus, thus abating Arceus's rage.

==Trivia==
*Of the so-called "Dragon Trilogy", there has been at least one Pokémon in each film that can communicate through telepathy, [[Darkrai (movie 10)|Darkrai]] (''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''), [[Shaymin (movie 11)|Shaymin]] (''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'') and Arceus (''[[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''). Interestingly, all three Pokémon are only available through [[Event Pokémon|Nintendo events]], all three only appeared in a single film of the trilogy and are the last three Pokémon in National Dex order.
*For unexplained reasons, Arceus was nearly killed by molten silver being dumped onto it, despite still having the {{DL|Plate|Flame Plate|Flame}}, {{DL|Plate|Iron Plate|Iron}}, and {{DL|Plate|Stone Plate}}s.

'''Jessie's Yanmega''' (Japanese: '''ムサシのメガヤンマ''' ''Musashi's Megayanma'') is the first Pokémon caught by [[Jessie]] of [[Team Rocket]] during her travels through [[Sinnoh]]. She is voiced by 古島清孝 ''[[Kiyotaka Furushima]]'' in both English and Japanese.

Jessie caught her as a {{p|Yanma}} in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps On Thieving!]]'' after [[Tyler]] {{pkmn|battle}}d and weakened her. After she captured her, Yanma was sent to [[Giovanni]] as their second successful theft. However, he immediately returned her after analyzing it. Jessie then decided to {{pkmn|training|train}} Yanma herself, not knowing that Yanma already knew {{m|AncientPower}}, thus when she sent her into battle. It thenquickly [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Yanmega}}.

She is used often by Jessie, sometimes replacing {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} as her main fighter. So far she has shown itself to be a strong battler, as she destroyed {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}} with her {{m|SonicBoom}} attack as seen in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]''.
[[File:Musarina.png|"Jessalina" and Yanmega|thumb|left]]
Yanmega made her Contest debut in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'' where she was used in the {{to|Celestic}} Contest Appeal Rounds. Yet, she failed to get Jessie to the next round.

In ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist]]'', Jessie entered Yanmega in the [[Majolica Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]] and won her second Ribbon. In ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'', Jessie entered Yanmega in the [[Chocovine Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]] where she passed the appeal round with a dazzling performance.

In ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', [[James]] borrowed Yanmega in order to enter into a [[PokéRinger]] competition. Jessie was reluctant as James failed to win the competition with her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} before. Like before, James failed to win with Yanmega.

==Trivia==
[[Image:DP080YanmaCaptureOperation.png|left|220px|thumb|As a Yanma being captured by Jessie]]
* Jessie captured Yanma after someone else weakened it. This echoes how she captured her {{TP|Jessie|Shellder}}. In this case, it was Tyler and his {{p|Piplup}} that weakened Yanma, whereas [[James's Weezing]] weakened Shellder.
* As a Yanma, she is the third Pokémon to evolve in the same episode it was captured after [[Ash's Caterpie]] in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'' and [[Ash's Primeape|Mankey]] in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'' (though in Mankey's case, it evolved prior to being captured, whereas Yanma and Caterpie evolved after their capture). Because Ash's Metapod did not further evolve into Butterfree until midway through the [[EP004|next episode]], Yanma reached its final form the fastest of all Pokémon belonging to the main characters. Caterpie also appeared in a flashback Ash had in the episode Yanma was captured.
* This is Jessie's first new Pokémon since she obtained {{TP|Jessie|Charizard}} in ''[[AG176|Grating Spaces]]'', and her first capture since she caught her {{TP|Jessie|Wurmple}} in ''[[AG014|All in a Day's Wurmple]]'', 257 episodes before. Oddly enough, that episode had a Yanma in it that was owned by [[Forrester Franklin|another trainer]].
* Yanma was the third of four {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to be in the party of a member of the main cast during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, preceded by {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}, and {{AP|Gligar}} and followed by {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}} (fifth of six if one counts {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{AP|Aipom}}).
* Yanmega is the second [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to evolve from a Generation II Pokémon on-screen after [[Dawn's Ambipom]], and the third Generation II Pokémon to evolve into a Generation IV Pokémon overall, since [[Paul's Murkrow]] evolved into {{p|Honchkrow}} off-screen between ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' and ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''.
** Yanmega is also the first Pokémon to evolve after learning the move {{m|AncientPower}}, the second being {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}}.
* Yanmega is the first {{type2|Flying}} Jessie captured, though she temporarily owned two {{TP|Jessie|Charizard}}.
* She is Jessie's only Pokémon that she has with her that can have more than one ability.
* She is the second Pokémon of Jessie's thus far to win her a ribbon in a Pokémon contest, the first being [[Jessie's Dustox|her Dustox]], which she no longer owns.
* Yanmega is the only Pokémon of [[Jessie]] or [[James]] to use {{A|Speed Boost|its}} [[ability]].
* In [[DP142]], it was discovered that Yanmega is female. When {{p|Togepi}} used {{m|Attract}}, Yanmega was the only one unaffected while {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{MTR}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} were. It was already known that three of the said Pokémon were male.

Battle Frontier (Generation IV)

2009-10-01T22:16:52Z

MatoroBro0107: someone get a better picture and another one from hgss

{{Featured}}
{{Infobox location
|image=Bfrontier.png
|type=road
|location_name=Battle Frontier
|japanese_name=バトルフロンティア
|translated_name=Battle Frontier
|location=[[Battle Zone]] (Sinnoh) [[Route 40]] (Johto)

|generation={{gen|IV}}
}}

The '''Battle Frontier''' (Japanese: バトルフロンティア ''Battle Frontier'') is a special post-league area featured in in the [[Generation IV]] games, {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. It is similar to the Battle Frontier featured in {{game|Emerald}}, the [[Hoenn]] {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}. The key difference is the number of facilities and the challenges they hold.

This Frontier is found in two regions, [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]]; each region's Frontier is identical in facilities and appearance. The Sinnoh Frontier is located north of the [[Fight Area]] in the place of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}'s {{si|Battle Park}}. The Johto Frontier is located west of [[Olivine City]], where the {{jo|Battle Tower}} was located in {{game|Crystal}}. Access to Johto's frontier is through the [[Frontier Front]]. Each of the facilities in the Battle Frontier has a leader, the [[Frontier Brain]], who may be challenged after certain {{wp|winning streak (sports)|winning streaks}} have been made through their respective facilities. Defeating the Frontier Brains will earn the player [[commemorative print]]s.

Only two of the facilities had been featured in Pokémon games prior to the Battle Frontier's debut in Platinum. The Battle Tower and Battle Factory were both present in Emerald; the Battle Tower has been in every game since its debut in Crystal.

==Overview==
[[File:Frontier.png|frame|left|The center of the Battle Frontier, with a map showing the five battle facilities.]]
[[File:HGSSBattlefrontier.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork of the Battle Frontier.]]

Upon the player's first entry into the Battle Frontier, their [[Vs. Recorder]] will be upgraded with a [[Vs. Recorder#Frontier Record|Frontier Record]] by a woman at the entrance. The Vs. Recorder keeps the amount of [[Battle Point]]s the players has. It also contains the [[commemorative print]]s obtained from the Battle Frontier. One {{pkmn|battle}} from within one of the facilities may be recorded and stored on the Frontier Record, which may be watched or overwritten with another at any time.

On winning through a set amount of battles in any given facility, [[Battle Points]], or BP, will be awarded, usually in small amounts, but gradually growing through each consecutive streak. Defeating the Frontier Brain of a given facility for the first time awards the silver commemorative print of that facility, while the second defeat of the same Brain gives the commemorative print a golden color. They are the equivalent of a [[badge]], and equivalent to the [[symbol]]s from [[Hoenn]]'s {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}. The Frontier Brain will only appear in single battle mode. Also, defeating a Brain will always yield a 20BP reward. Battles conducted here do not award [[experience]] or [[Pokémon Dollar|money]].

There are usually three forms of challenges. The first of these challenges is the standard single battle in which the challenger must engage in seven three on three battles in a row. Winning a set of seven battles earns the player [[Battle Point]]s. The second of these challenges follows the same layout as the standard single battle but are rather conducted as [[double battles]]. Each facility also offers Multi Battles that two players can participate in, using the Nintendo DS's Wireless Connection, to increase their record. The Battle Frontier also allows players from around the world connect together using {{wp|Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection}}, to take part in multi Battles in any of the Battle Frontier facilities. This can be done by going to the Wi-Fi Club on the base floor of any [[Pokémon Center]], and selecting the Battle Frontier function. However both players must have entered the [[Hall of Fame]] and visited the Battle Frontier at least once.

Regardless of what challenge is taken, the following Pokémon are not allowed:

The '''Battle Tower''' (Japanese: '''バトルタワー''' ''Battle Tower'') is identical to the {{si|Battle Tower}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. It is the northernmost facility in the Battle Frontier, and has a direct path to it from the entrance. It is on a large, glass platform that elevates above all the other facilities, making it the head of the Battle Frontier. The same small boy who stands in front of the Battle Tower in {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III|Hoenn's Battle Frontier}}, is also standing outside this one.

The player battles seven Trainers consecutively in a simple knock-out, progressively becoming more difficult. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, their [[level]] reduced to 50. Players are not allowed to bring Pokémon with the same items here. Consumed items, such as [[Berry|Berries]], will be replaced after each battle. The player's Pokémon will also be healed completely after each battle. Players will then have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. The difficulty of battles here is based on how many rounds the player endures; the first round features fast opponents, the second round has opponent's Pokémon holding items, and starting in the third round, opponents begin to use strategic battle combinations.

There are also a number of other challenges in the Battle Tower that other facilities don't have. Multi battles can be conducted, following the format found in the other two challenges. Before the challenge begins, players can choose one among [[Riley]], [[Cheryl]], [[Buck]], [[Mira]], and [[Marley]] as their partner, only after meeting them and clearing their area with them. Each partner specializes in a different Pokémon [[stat]], and different Pokémon. There is also another feature that allows the player to randomly download a team using the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], which will then begin to appear in the player's Battle Tower challenges. One can also upload their team to the database to be downloaded by another player.

{{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Tower. He can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. His first lineup is filled with final evolutions, with high stats to match. Once defeated, he will give away the silver commemorative print. Palmer can be challenged again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated. He uses different Pokémon during the second match, battling with three [[legendary Pokémon]].

====Awards====
Unlike the other facilities at the Battle Frontier, the Battle Tower awards the player [[goods]] and [[ribbon]]s for meeting certain conditions. Not only are there prizes for single battle, but also for winning consecutive [[double battle]]s or multi battle in the Wi-Fi battle room.

The '''Battle Factory''' (Japanese: '''バトルファクトリー''' ''Battle Factory'') is another battle venue in the Generation IV Battle Frontier, having basically the same rules as [[Hoenn]]'s {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}'s Battle Factory. It is located on the northeast corner of the Battle Frontier. The blue building itself is like much like a factory, with exhaust fans, and pipes. There is a long, glass panel on the floor of the building that transfers information around. There are [[Poké Ball]]s containing rental Pokémon in glass storage panels inside, and there is an electronic battle ground that lights up before a battle begins. Like Hoenn's Battle Factory, it is more dedicated to research than the other facilities, and the subject of the scientists' research is the abilities of Trainers when using random Pokémon in battle.

Before entering the Battle Factory, the player will be asked to hand over their current party in exchange for rental Pokémon. The player will then be able to choose three out of six random Pokémon to rent and battle another Trainer with rental Pokémon in that round. After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. If the player continues, they will get the offer to trade one of the rental Pokémon for their opponent's rental Pokémon, but they may not see the Pokémon's status before trading. A scientist will tell the player what Pokémon their opponent will be using before every battle, but after the player progresses through consecutive battles, the scientist will tell less and less.

{{FB|Factory Head|Thorton}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Factory. He can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. Thorton is subject to the same rules in the Battle Factory; he must use rental Pokémon as well, and so cannot be known until he is encountered. He could have anything except for the Pokémon that are not admissible in the Battle Frontier. Once defeated, he will give away the silver commemorative print. Thorton can be challenged again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated.

====Staff information====
The Battle Factory scientist staff member will hint about the next Pokémon or move the player will face. But after the player progresses through rounds, the scientist will hint less information than last round. Use the data to decide which Pokémon the player rents, and form a strategy based around it.

The '''Battle Arcade''' (Japanese: '''バトルルーレット''' ''Battle Roulette'') is a new facility located in the southeastern corner of the Battle Frontier. The building itself looks like a large tent, with articular domes, much like {{wp|Saint Basil's Cathedral}}. Inside the Arcade, it is dark with strange patterns on the walls and floors like a tent. In the stadium room, there is a large screen called the ''Game Board'' that most of the game is displayed on.

The player battles seven Trainers consecutively in a knock-out, much like all other facilities in the Battle Frontier. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, having their [[level]] reduced to 50. Prior to battles, all items equipped on the Pokémon used are removed. Battles in the Battle Arcade are either 3 vs 3 (single) or 4 vs 4 (double). Upon entering, the player's Pokémon will be seen on the Game Board. The foe's Pokémon will also be seen when they enter the field.

Before a battle begins, the player must play the game board to determine the condition of the battle. The game board is a massive roulette machine that will scroll quickly through a grid of small boxes, known as ''Events''. Landing on a black box affects the player while landing on a red box affects the foe. Gray boxes, on the other hand, affect both foes. Each event will have a different effect; some may lower the opponent's HP, poison the opponent's Pokémon, or speed up the game board. The choice may affect the player's Pokémon, the opponent's, or even the field. The board may land on status ailments, weather changes, level changes, berries and more. It may even land on nothing. The status ailments appear to be based on moves with certain types. This means that {{type2|Steel}}s are immune to poisoning and {{type2|Ground}}s are immune to paralysis. Every battle is called a ''game''; for example, the first battle is known as ''Game No. 1''. After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]].

{{FB|Arcade Star|Dahlia}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Arcade. She can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. The Pokémon that Dahlia uses in her first match share common type weaknesses - {{type2|Poison}}, {{type2|Flying}}, and {{type2|Ghost}}. Once defeated, she will give away the silver commemorative print. Dahlia can be challenged again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated.

====Nullify events====
Some events that include poisoning, paralyzing, freezing, and burning Pokémon can be negated by certain abilities and types. The status ailments appear to be based on moves with certain types; {{type2|Steel}}s are immune to poisoning and {{type2|Ground}}s are immune to paralysis.

The '''Battle Castle''' (Japanese: '''バトルキャッスル''' ''Battle Castle'') is another new facility located in the southwestern corner of the Battle Frontier. The Battle Castle, as its name suggests, is a huge castle, with elegant furniture on the floor and sparkling jewels on the wall. There is a golden carpet from the entrance to the battle ground. In the stadium itself, [[Castle Valet Darach and Lady Caitlin|Lady Caitlin]], the princess of the castle, sits on her throne atop a platform, watching down on battles. Her butler, Darach, directs people to their battle, handing out prizes to people after victory.

In the Battle Castle, players must fight seven opponents in a row. Like in the Battle Arcade, all held items are removed prior to battling. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, having their [[level]] reduced to 50. After entering, the player will meet [[Castle Valet Darach and Lady Caitlin|Castle Valet Darach]] in the hallway, and he will give 10 Castle Points, or CP, to the player, and will lead them to the battles.

Castle Points are the currency within the Battle Castle — special things must be done to gain them, but they can be exchanged for certain benefits. Winning allows players to receive Castle Points, which are used in multiple ways. The Castle Points can allow players to heal their Pokémon's HP, PP, both, or buy items for use inside the Battle Castle, such as berries. It can also allow players to see their opponents' Pokémon and even increase or decrease their levels by five. Unlike other facilities in the Battle Frontier, in the Battle Castle, Pokémon will not be healed automatically after a battle.

At first, the player will be limited to what they can do with their CP, but if they save up enough, they can rank up and unlock more abilities, such as increasing the selection of items they can buy for their Pokémon, or increasing the amount of information the player can get on the opponent. After winning a battle, the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. If the player chooses to continue, they will be able to get the chance to exchange CP for advantages. In Multi Battle mode, both players keep their own individual CP and ranks, but can also spend their CP for their teammate's Pokémon's benefit, such as buying an item that their teammate cannot currently afford.

[[Castle Valet Darach and Lady Caitlin|Lady Caitlin and her valet, Darach]] are the [[Frontier Brain]]s for the Battle Castle. Darach is challenged after 21 consecutive battles. The Pokémon that he uses in his first match are unique. They use powerful attacks that burn and paralyze Pokémon. Once defeated, he will give away the silver commemorative print. He is battled again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated.

====Receiving CP====
Castle Points or CP is used as currency in the Battle Castle. The player automatically receives 10CP on entry. Winning battles also allows players to receive Castle Points, which are used in multiple ways. There are certain conditions the player can try to meet for more CP.

====Spending CP====
The Castle Points can allow players to heal their Pokémon's HP, PP, both, or buy items for use inside the Battle Castle, such as berries. It can also allow players to see their opponents' Pokémon and even increase or decrease their levels by five. This can only be done by exchanging CP earned in battles, before every battle. CP can also be used to rank up certain actions, so instead of renting the normal eight berries, the player can increase the rank to level 2 so they are able to rent 8 kinds of berries and 12 kinds of items. Some advantages can be ranked up twice to level 3 for more advantages.

The '''Battle Hall''' (Japanese: '''バトルステージ''' ''Battle Stage'') is another facility located in the northwestern corner of the Battle Frontier. The stadium is a huge {{wp|catwalk}}, in where people walk down the catwalk to the battleground, while fans take a number of photos and the spotlights shine all over the place. There is also a red carpet on the floor, all the way from the entrance to the stadium.

The Battle Hall is unique from any other facility in the Battle Frontier, as there are 10 battles per round instead of the usual 7, and only one Pokémon can be used in a single battle, meaning the battles are one-on-one. Before entering the Battle Hall, the player will be asked to select one Pokémon level 30 or higher for entry. If it is a different Pokémon than last time, the attendant will warn the player that they are using a different Pokémon, as Pokémon are used in winning streaks, and if the player uses a different Pokémon, the streak will be lost.
[[File:HGSS Battle Hall.png|thumb|right|The Battle Hall in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
Once the Pokémon is entered, the player will go down the runway and will have to choose from a list of types which [[type]] they want to battle. This lets players control their advantages, as they are about to choose their own type they want to battle. As the only thing known about an opponent is one of the types of their Pokémon, the game may occasionally throw a curveball, such as if a player chooses to use a {{type2|Fighting}} against their {{type2|Dark}} opponent, they may find out that the opponent is using the {{2t|Ghost|Dark}} {{p|Spiritomb}} who is immune to Fighting moves.

As the player wins against each type, that type raises in rank, causing the Pokémon of that type challenged to raise in level, making this the only facility to feature Pokémon above level 50. The opponent's Pokémon can be chosen from any one of the 17 types. Each type begins at Rank 1, and advances to the next rank when the battle is won. The ranks will go up to 10, with Ranks 8-10 having Pokémon of different types.

After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. Players must also have ten battles in a row before they're allowed to exit. If doing a Double Battle challenge, the player must enter two of the same species of Pokémon.

{{FB|Hall Matron|Argenta}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Hall. She can be challenged after 50 consecutive battles, which is unique as all other Frontier Brains can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. Like {{FB|Factory Head|Thorton}}, her Pokémon are completely random, and the player can not choose the type she uses from the list. She could have anything except for the Pokémon that are not admissible in the Battle Frontier. Once defeated, she will give away the silver commemorative print. Argenta can be challenged again after 170 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated. The player must defeat all types at least 10 times before challenging her again and again.

====Gaining fans====
In the Battle Hall, the player will gain fans as their total record or their winning streak increases. If the player is a female, their major fan is Serena, and if the player is a male, their major fan is Winston. They can be found in the Battle Hall lobby in various locations with varying dialogue. The player will also get visitors cheering them on in the lobby. If the player's total record is over 500, they will get the professor's assistant. If the record is over 1,000, the player will get [[Johanna]], and over 10,000 will get [[Professor Oak]] or [[Jasmine]].

====Raising records====
At the Battle Hall, the staff members next to the monitor will keep track of the player's total record, which is how many successive wins the player has earned with all of their Pokémon. For example, if two different Pokémon have both won 10 times, then the total record is 20. The player earn BP based on the total record.

===Entrance hall===
[[File:Sinnoh Battle Frontier Brain artwork.png|thumb|left|220px|Artwork of the Battle Frontier featuring the Frontier Brains]]
[[Image:Battle frontier sinnoh entrance.gif‎|thumb|right|200px|The entrance]]
The entrance hall is the entrance to the Battle Frontier from the [[Fight Area]]. Because the Battle Frontier does not have a [[Pokémon Center]], unlike {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III|Hoenn's}}, it cannot be accessed to by {{m|Fly}}, making the entrance hall the only way to get into the Battle Frontier. Upon the player's first entry into the Battle Frontier, their [[Vs. Recorder]] will be upgraded with a [[Vs. Recorder#Frontier Record|Frontier Record]], by the women at the entrance. There are many women that will guide and explain venues of the Battle Frontier.

* The top left woman will explain the Battle Castle
* The top right woman will explain the Battle Arcade
* The middle left woman will explain the Battle Factory

===Stats Judge===
In the lobby of the Battle Tower is a man who can appraise one of the player's Pokémon by looking at its stats. He considers himself a Judge of Trainer's Pokémon. He will tell the player three things about the Pokémon; about their stats, their most striking stat, and the value of their striking stat.

===Exchange Service Corner===

[[image:Sinnoh BF.png|thumb|300px|right|Artwork of the Battle Frontier (illus. [[Midori Harada]])]]
The Exchange Service Corner is located within the center of the Battle Frontier. The player can buy various goods with [[Battle Point]]s won from the facilities. The Battle Frontier's prizes are similar to {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}'s {{si|Battle Tower}}'s prizes. They also use [[Battle Point]]s which are won in the Frontier's various facilities. They can be bought at the stalls at the center of the Frontier. The following items are offered as prizes:

===Pokémon Scratch-Off Corner===
[[File:Scratchoff.png|thumb|right|Scratching a Pokémon Scratch-Off Card]]
The Pokémon Scratch-Off Corner is located just north of the Exchange Service Corner. Pokémon Scratch-Off is a game that can be played for 1BP. With this one BP, the player gets three different Scratch-Off Cards that could cause the player to win up to 3 items, including berries, or could leave them with nothing. Because they are a bit like {{wp|Scratchcard}}s, it is all up to chance. When the player spends the Battle Point, they will get to select 3 cards from a selection of red, blue, green, and yellow color on the touch screen. Once done, scratching mode will begin. Using the stylus, the player will have to get three Pokémon to get the particular item that is revealed under the scratch-off. As soon as the player touches any part of any of the 9 blocks, they must choose that one as one of the choices. There is an extra Pokémon on the card, a {{p|Ditto}}. If the player get a Ditto, it acts as a Wild-Card, transforming into any other Pokémon should the player manage to get two of them. There are a total of three out of twenty-three different berries to be won, and there will always be a [[Nugget]] to be won.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Platbf.PNG|right|200px|thumb|The Battle Frontier logo]]
* The Battle Frontier logo is the color code of the venues corresponding to the five battle venues and their position in the Battle Frontier.
** The color code of each of the venues corresponds approximately to the color codes of each of the five [[flavor]]s of [[Berry]] and to the types of [[Pokémon Contest]]s and {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s.
* Due to the pairing of {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach and Lady Caitlin}}, there is an equal number of male and female Frontier Brains. This is the case with Sinnoh's [[Gym Leaders]] as well.
* Taking into consideration the effects that could hinder or help the player's Pokémon and the fact that its design is similar to Russia's {{wp|St. Basil's Cathedral}}, the Battle Arcade's Japanese name, Battle Roulette, may have been based on the term "{{wp|Russian roulette}}".
* Several of the Frontier Brains have Pokémon with moves they normally learn at a higher level. This may mean that their Pokémon also decrease in level when they are above level 50.
* All Frontier Brains with a fixed team have at least one legendary Pokémon in their party when they are battled for the gold commemorative print.
* Although Pokémon under level 30 are banned from use by the player at the Battle Hall, opponent Trainers can use Pokémon under this level.
* This Battle Frontier is the first one of it's kind to appear in two separate locations in one Generation.
** Also, it is the first one to appear in the mainland of one region, in this case, the Johto region.

Battle Frontier (Generation IV)

The '''Battle Frontier''' (Japanese: バトルフロンティア ''Battle Frontier'') is a special post-league area featured in in the [[Generation IV]] games, {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. It is similar to the Battle Frontier featured in {{game|Emerald}}, the [[Hoenn]] {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}. The key difference is the number of facilities and the challenges they hold.

This Frontier is found in two regions, [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]]; each region's Frontier is identical in facilities and appearance. The Sinnoh Frontier is located north of the [[Fight Area]] in the place of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}'s {{si|Battle Park}}. The Johto Frontier is located west of [[Olivine City]], where the {{jo|Battle Tower}} was located in {{game|Crystal}}. Access to Johto's frontier is through the [[Frontier Front]]. Each of the facilities in the Battle Frontier has a leader, the [[Frontier Brain]], who may be challenged after certain {{wp|winning streak (sports)|winning streaks}} have been made through their respective facilities. Defeating the Frontier Brains will earn the player [[commemorative print]]s.

Only two of the facilities had been featured in Pokémon games prior to the Battle Frontier's debut in Platinum. The Battle Tower and Battle Factory were both present in Emerald; the Battle Tower has been in every game since its debut in Crystal.

==Overview==
[[File:Frontier.png|frame|left|The center of the Battle Frontier, with a map showing the five battle facilities.]]
[[File:HGSSBattlefrontier.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork of the Battle Frontier.]]

Upon the player's first entry into the Battle Frontier, their [[Vs. Recorder]] will be upgraded with a [[Vs. Recorder#Frontier Record|Frontier Record]] by a woman at the entrance. The Vs. Recorder keeps the amount of [[Battle Point]]s the players has. It also contains the [[commemorative print]]s obtained from the Battle Frontier. One {{pkmn|battle}} from within one of the facilities may be recorded and stored on the Frontier Record, which may be watched or overwritten with another at any time.

On winning through a set amount of battles in any given facility, [[Battle Points]], or BP, will be awarded, usually in small amounts, but gradually growing through each consecutive streak. Defeating the Frontier Brain of a given facility for the first time awards the silver commemorative print of that facility, while the second defeat of the same Brain gives the commemorative print a golden color. They are the equivalent of a [[badge]], and equivalent to the [[symbol]]s from [[Hoenn]]'s {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}. The Frontier Brain will only appear in single battle mode. Also, defeating a Brain will always yield a 20BP reward. Battles conducted here do not award [[experience]] or [[Pokémon Dollar|money]].

There are usually three forms of challenges. The first of these challenges is the standard single battle in which the challenger must engage in seven three on three battles in a row. Winning a set of seven battles earns the player [[Battle Point]]s. The second of these challenges follows the same layout as the standard single battle but are rather conducted as [[double battles]]. Each facility also offers Multi Battles that two players can participate in, using the Nintendo DS's Wireless Connection, to increase their record. The Battle Frontier also allows players from around the world connect together using {{wp|Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection}}, to take part in multi Battles in any of the Battle Frontier facilities. This can be done by going to the Wi-Fi Club on the base floor of any [[Pokémon Center]], and selecting the Battle Frontier function. However both players must have entered the [[Hall of Fame]] and visited the Battle Frontier at least once.

Regardless of what challenge is taken, the following Pokémon are not allowed:

The '''Battle Tower''' (Japanese: '''バトルタワー''' ''Battle Tower'') is identical to the {{si|Battle Tower}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. It is the northernmost facility in the Battle Frontier, and has a direct path to it from the entrance. It is on a large, glass platform that elevates above all the other facilities, making it the head of the Battle Frontier. The same small boy who stands in front of the Battle Tower in {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III|Hoenn's Battle Frontier}}, is also standing outside this one.

The player battles seven Trainers consecutively in a simple knock-out, progressively becoming more difficult. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, their [[level]] reduced to 50. Players are not allowed to bring Pokémon with the same items here. Consumed items, such as [[Berry|Berries]], will be replaced after each battle. The player's Pokémon will also be healed completely after each battle. Players will then have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. The difficulty of battles here is based on how many rounds the player endures; the first round features fast opponents, the second round has opponent's Pokémon holding items, and starting in the third round, opponents begin to use strategic battle combinations.

There are also a number of other challenges in the Battle Tower that other facilities don't have. Multi battles can be conducted, following the format found in the other two challenges. Before the challenge begins, players can choose one among [[Riley]], [[Cheryl]], [[Buck]], [[Mira]], and [[Marley]] as their partner, only after meeting them and clearing their area with them. Each partner specializes in a different Pokémon [[stat]], and different Pokémon. There is also another feature that allows the player to randomly download a team using the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], which will then begin to appear in the player's Battle Tower challenges. One can also upload their team to the database to be downloaded by another player.

{{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Tower. He can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. His first lineup is filled with final evolutions, with high stats to match. Once defeated, he will give away the silver commemorative print. Palmer can be challenged again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated. He uses different Pokémon during the second match, battling with three [[legendary Pokémon]].

====Awards====
Unlike the other facilities at the Battle Frontier, the Battle Tower awards the player [[goods]] and [[ribbon]]s for meeting certain conditions. Not only are there prizes for single battle, but also for winning consecutive [[double battle]]s or multi battle in the Wi-Fi battle room.

The '''Battle Factory''' (Japanese: '''バトルファクトリー''' ''Battle Factory'') is another battle venue in the Generation IV Battle Frontier, having basically the same rules as [[Hoenn]]'s {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}'s Battle Factory. It is located on the northeast corner of the Battle Frontier. The blue building itself is like much like a factory, with exhaust fans, and pipes. There is a long, glass panel on the floor of the building that transfers information around. There are [[Poké Ball]]s containing rental Pokémon in glass storage panels inside, and there is an electronic battle ground that lights up before a battle begins. Like Hoenn's Battle Factory, it is more dedicated to research than the other facilities, and the subject of the scientists' research is the abilities of Trainers when using random Pokémon in battle.

Before entering the Battle Factory, the player will be asked to hand over their current party in exchange for rental Pokémon. The player will then be able to choose three out of six random Pokémon to rent and battle another Trainer with rental Pokémon in that round. After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. If the player continues, they will get the offer to trade one of the rental Pokémon for their opponent's rental Pokémon, but they may not see the Pokémon's status before trading. A scientist will tell the player what Pokémon their opponent will be using before every battle, but after the player progresses through consecutive battles, the scientist will tell less and less.

{{FB|Factory Head|Thorton}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Factory. He can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. Thorton is subject to the same rules in the Battle Factory; he must use rental Pokémon as well, and so cannot be known until he is encountered. He could have anything except for the Pokémon that are not admissible in the Battle Frontier. Once defeated, he will give away the silver commemorative print. Thorton can be challenged again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated.

====Staff information====
The Battle Factory scientist staff member will hint about the next Pokémon or move the player will face. But after the player progresses through rounds, the scientist will hint less information than last round. Use the data to decide which Pokémon the player rents, and form a strategy based around it.

The '''Battle Arcade''' (Japanese: '''バトルルーレット''' ''Battle Roulette'') is a new facility located in the southeastern corner of the Battle Frontier. The building itself looks like a large tent, with articular domes, much like {{wp|Saint Basil's Cathedral}}. Inside the Arcade, it is dark with strange patterns on the walls and floors like a tent. In the stadium room, there is a large screen called the ''Game Board'' that most of the game is displayed on.

The player battles seven Trainers consecutively in a knock-out, much like all other facilities in the Battle Frontier. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, having their [[level]] reduced to 50. Prior to battles, all items equipped on the Pokémon used are removed. Battles in the Battle Arcade are either 3 vs 3 (single) or 4 vs 4 (double). Upon entering, the player's Pokémon will be seen on the Game Board. The foe's Pokémon will also be seen when they enter the field.

Before a battle begins, the player must play the game board to determine the condition of the battle. The game board is a massive roulette machine that will scroll quickly through a grid of small boxes, known as ''Events''. Landing on a black box affects the player while landing on a red box affects the foe. Gray boxes, on the other hand, affect both foes. Each event will have a different effect; some may lower the opponent's HP, poison the opponent's Pokémon, or speed up the game board. The choice may affect the player's Pokémon, the opponent's, or even the field. The board may land on status ailments, weather changes, level changes, berries and more. It may even land on nothing. The status ailments appear to be based on moves with certain types. This means that {{type2|Steel}}s are immune to poisoning and {{type2|Ground}}s are immune to paralysis. Every battle is called a ''game''; for example, the first battle is known as ''Game No. 1''. After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]].

{{FB|Arcade Star|Dahlia}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Arcade. She can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. The Pokémon that Dahlia uses in her first match share common type weaknesses - {{type2|Poison}}, {{type2|Flying}}, and {{type2|Ghost}}. Once defeated, she will give away the silver commemorative print. Dahlia can be challenged again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated.

====Nullify events====
Some events that include poisoning, paralyzing, freezing, and burning Pokémon can be negated by certain abilities and types. The status ailments appear to be based on moves with certain types; {{type2|Steel}}s are immune to poisoning and {{type2|Ground}}s are immune to paralysis.

The '''Battle Castle''' (Japanese: '''バトルキャッスル''' ''Battle Castle'') is another new facility located in the southwestern corner of the Battle Frontier. The Battle Castle, as its name suggests, is a huge castle, with elegant furniture on the floor and sparkling jewels on the wall. There is a golden carpet from the entrance to the battle ground. In the stadium itself, [[Castle Valet Darach and Lady Caitlin|Lady Caitlin]], the princess of the castle, sits on her throne atop a platform, watching down on battles. Her butler, Darach, directs people to their battle, handing out prizes to people after victory.

In the Battle Castle, players must fight seven opponents in a row. Like in the Battle Arcade, all held items are removed prior to battling. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, having their [[level]] reduced to 50. After entering, the player will meet [[Castle Valet Darach and Lady Caitlin|Castle Valet Darach]] in the hallway, and he will give 10 Castle Points, or CP, to the player, and will lead them to the battles.

Castle Points are the currency within the Battle Castle — special things must be done to gain them, but they can be exchanged for certain benefits. Winning allows players to receive Castle Points, which are used in multiple ways. The Castle Points can allow players to heal their Pokémon's HP, PP, both, or buy items for use inside the Battle Castle, such as berries. It can also allow players to see their opponents' Pokémon and even increase or decrease their levels by five. Unlike other facilities in the Battle Frontier, in the Battle Castle, Pokémon will not be healed automatically after a battle.

At first, the player will be limited to what they can do with their CP, but if they save up enough, they can rank up and unlock more abilities, such as increasing the selection of items they can buy for their Pokémon, or increasing the amount of information the player can get on the opponent. After winning a battle, the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. If the player chooses to continue, they will be able to get the chance to exchange CP for advantages. In Multi Battle mode, both players keep their own individual CP and ranks, but can also spend their CP for their teammate's Pokémon's benefit, such as buying an item that their teammate cannot currently afford.

[[Castle Valet Darach and Lady Caitlin|Lady Caitlin and her valet, Darach]] are the [[Frontier Brain]]s for the Battle Castle. Darach is challenged after 21 consecutive battles. The Pokémon that he uses in his first match are unique. They use powerful attacks that burn and paralyze Pokémon. Once defeated, he will give away the silver commemorative print. He is battled again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated.

====Receiving CP====
Castle Points or CP is used as currency in the Battle Castle. The player automatically receives 10CP on entry. Winning battles also allows players to receive Castle Points, which are used in multiple ways. There are certain conditions the player can try to meet for more CP.

====Spending CP====
The Castle Points can allow players to heal their Pokémon's HP, PP, both, or buy items for use inside the Battle Castle, such as berries. It can also allow players to see their opponents' Pokémon and even increase or decrease their levels by five. This can only be done by exchanging CP earned in battles, before every battle. CP can also be used to rank up certain actions, so instead of renting the normal eight berries, the player can increase the rank to level 2 so they are able to rent 8 kinds of berries and 12 kinds of items. Some advantages can be ranked up twice to level 3 for more advantages.

The '''Battle Hall''' (Japanese: '''バトルステージ''' ''Battle Stage'') is another facility located in the northwestern corner of the Battle Frontier. The stadium is a huge {{wp|catwalk}}, in where people walk down the catwalk to the battleground, while fans take a number of photos and the spotlights shine all over the place. There is also a red carpet on the floor, all the way from the entrance to the stadium.

The Battle Hall is unique from any other facility in the Battle Frontier, as there are 10 battles per round instead of the usual 7, and only one Pokémon can be used in a single battle, meaning the battles are one-on-one. Before entering the Battle Hall, the player will be asked to select one Pokémon level 30 or higher for entry. If it is a different Pokémon than last time, the attendant will warn the player that they are using a different Pokémon, as Pokémon are used in winning streaks, and if the player uses a different Pokémon, the streak will be lost.
[[File:HGSS Battle Hall.png|thumb|right|The Battle Hall in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
Once the Pokémon is entered, the player will go down the runway and will have to choose from a list of types which [[type]] they want to battle. This lets players control their advantages, as they are about to choose their own type they want to battle. As the only thing known about an opponent is one of the types of their Pokémon, the game may occasionally throw a curveball, such as if a player chooses to use a {{type2|Fighting}} against their {{type2|Dark}} opponent, they may find out that the opponent is using the {{2t|Ghost|Dark}} {{p|Spiritomb}} who is immune to Fighting moves.

As the player wins against each type, that type raises in rank, causing the Pokémon of that type challenged to raise in level, making this the only facility to feature Pokémon above level 50. The opponent's Pokémon can be chosen from any one of the 17 types. Each type begins at Rank 1, and advances to the next rank when the battle is won. The ranks will go up to 10, with Ranks 8-10 having Pokémon of different types.

After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. Players must also have ten battles in a row before they're allowed to exit. If doing a Double Battle challenge, the player must enter two of the same species of Pokémon.

{{FB|Hall Matron|Argenta}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Hall. She can be challenged after 50 consecutive battles, which is unique as all other Frontier Brains can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. Like {{FB|Factory Head|Thorton}}, her Pokémon are completely random, and the player can not choose the type she uses from the list. She could have anything except for the Pokémon that are not admissible in the Battle Frontier. Once defeated, she will give away the silver commemorative print. Argenta can be challenged again after 170 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated. The player must defeat all types at least 10 times before challenging her again and again.

====Gaining fans====
In the Battle Hall, the player will gain fans as their total record or their winning streak increases. If the player is a female, their major fan is Serena, and if the player is a male, their major fan is Winston. They can be found in the Battle Hall lobby in various locations with varying dialogue. The player will also get visitors cheering them on in the lobby. If the player's total record is over 500, they will get the professor's assistant. If the record is over 1,000, the player will get [[Johanna]], and over 10,000 will get [[Professor Oak]] or [[Jasmine]].

====Raising records====
At the Battle Hall, the staff members next to the monitor will keep track of the player's total record, which is how many successive wins the player has earned with all of their Pokémon. For example, if two different Pokémon have both won 10 times, then the total record is 20. The player earn BP based on the total record.

===Entrance hall===
[[File:Sinnoh Battle Frontier Brain artwork.png|thumb|left|220px|Artwork of the Battle Frontier featuring the Frontier Brains]]
[[Image:Battle frontier sinnoh entrance.gif‎|thumb|right|200px|The entrance]]
The entrance hall is the entrance to the Battle Frontier from the [[Fight Area]]. Because the Battle Frontier does not have a [[Pokémon Center]], unlike {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III|Hoenn's}}, it cannot be accessed to by {{m|Fly}}, making the entrance hall the only way to get into the Battle Frontier. Upon the player's first entry into the Battle Frontier, their [[Vs. Recorder]] will be upgraded with a [[Vs. Recorder#Frontier Record|Frontier Record]], by the women at the entrance. There are many women that will guide and explain venues of the Battle Frontier.

* The top left woman will explain the Battle Castle
* The top right woman will explain the Battle Arcade
* The middle left woman will explain the Battle Factory
* The middle right woman will explain the Battle Hall
* The bottom left woman will explain about the Battle Frontier itself.
* The bottom right woman will explain the Battle Tower

===Stats Judge===
In the lobby of the Battle Tower is a man who can appraise one of the player's Pokémon by looking at its stats. He considers himself a Judge of Trainer's Pokémon. He will tell the player three things about the Pokémon; about their stats, their most striking stat, and the value of their striking stat.

[[image:Sinnoh BF.png|thumb|300px|right|Artwork of the Battle Frontier (illus. [[Midori Harada]])]]
The Exchange Service Corner is located within the center of the Battle Frontier. The player can buy various goods with [[Battle Point]]s won from the facilities. The Battle Frontier's prizes are similar to {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}'s {{si|Battle Tower}}'s prizes. They also use [[Battle Point]]s which are won in the Frontier's various facilities. They can be bought at the stalls at the center of the Frontier. The following items are offered as prizes:

===Pokémon Scratch-Off Corner===
[[File:Scratchoff.png|thumb|right|Scratching a Pokémon Scratch-Off Card]]
The Pokémon Scratch-Off Corner is located just north of the Exchange Service Corner. Pokémon Scratch-Off is a game that can be played for 1BP. With this one BP, the player gets three different Scratch-Off Cards that could cause the player to win up to 3 items, including berries, or could leave them with nothing. Because they are a bit like {{wp|Scratchcard}}s, it is all up to chance. When the player spends the Battle Point, they will get to select 3 cards from a selection of red, blue, green, and yellow color on the touch screen. Once done, scratching mode will begin. Using the stylus, the player will have to get three Pokémon to get the particular item that is revealed under the scratch-off. As soon as the player touches any part of any of the 9 blocks, they must choose that one as one of the choices. There is an extra Pokémon on the card, a {{p|Ditto}}. If the player get a Ditto, it acts as a Wild-Card, transforming into any other Pokémon should the player manage to get two of them. There are a total of three out of twenty-three different berries to be won, and there will always be a [[Nugget]] to be won.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Platbf.PNG|right|200px|thumb|The Battle Frontier logo]]
* The Battle Frontier logo is the color code of the venues corresponding to the five battle venues and their position in the Battle Frontier.
** The color code of each of the venues corresponds approximately to the color codes of each of the five [[flavor]]s of [[Berry]] and to the types of [[Pokémon Contest]]s and {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s.
* Due to the pairing of {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach and Lady Caitlin}}, there is an equal number of male and female Frontier Brains. This is the case with Sinnoh's [[Gym Leaders]] as well.
* Taking into consideration the effects that could hinder or help the player's Pokémon and the fact that its design is similar to Russia's {{wp|St. Basil's Cathedral}}, the Battle Arcade's Japanese name, Battle Roulette, may have been based on the term "{{wp|Russian roulette}}".
* Several of the Frontier Brains have Pokémon with moves they normally learn at a higher level. This may mean that their Pokémon also decrease in level when they are above level 50.
* All Frontier Brains with a fixed team have at least one legendary Pokémon in their party when they are battled for the gold commemorative print.
* Although Pokémon under level 30 are banned from use by the player at the Battle Hall, opponent Trainers can use Pokémon under this level.
* This Battle Frontier is the first one of it's kind to appear in two separate locations in one Generation.
** Also, it is the first one to appear in the mainland of one region, in this case, the Johto region.

'''Togekiss''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トゲキッス''' ''Togekiss'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Togetic}} when exposed to radiation from a {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}. It is the final form of {{p|Togepi}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Togekiss is a white Pokémon with an egg-shaped body. Togekiss has triangle-shaped wings and lacks the stubby arms that its pre-evolutions had. Its underbelly is dotted with little red and blue triangle-shaped spots, which are signature of the Togepi evolution family. Togekiss has two feet that are close to each other. The former spikes on its head are now a three-pointed crest that has the left spike tipped in blue and the right spike tipped in red (the reverse is true for its {{shiny2}} form).
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
As of Generation IV, Togekiss is one of three non-legendary Pokémon that can learn {{m|Sky Attack}} naturally, the other non-legendaries being Noctowl and Altaria. Their flying abilities are supreme.

It is also able to wield {{m|Aura Sphere}} and one of only two non-legendary Pokémon are able to learn it. The other is {{p|Lucario}}.

===Behavior===
Togekiss avoid conflict, never appearing where strife is occuring. It shares blessings with those who love another. They will protect their young, {{p|Togepi}}, with miraculous care.

===Habitat===
Togekiss are so vastly rare that many trainers do not bother trying to find one. Instead, most trainers prefer evolving their Togetic into a Togekiss with a {{evostone|Shiny Stone}} instead.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:TogekissAnime.png|thumb|right|210px|Togekiss in the anime]]
Togekiss makes a cameo at the beginning of the movie ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

*Togekiss is the only Pokémon to have evolved by using an [[evolutionary stone]] that doesn't share any level-up moves with its pre-evolution.
===Origin===
Togekiss's design appears to draw inspiration from fairies and birds, possibly {{wp|dove}}s.

'''Volt Tackle''' (Japanese: '''ボルテッカー''' ''Voltteccer'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Electric}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It is the [[signature move]] of the {{p|Pichu}} [[Evolution|evolutionary]] line.

==Effect==
Volt Tackle inflicts damage, and the user receives [[recoil]] damage equal to 1/3 of the damage done to the target. This move has a 10% chance of {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} the target.

==Learnset==
===[[Generation III]]===
====By {{pkmn|breeding}}====
There is only one way to get Volt Tackle, which is only available in {{game|Emerald}}. The {{player}} must breed a female {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} holding a [[Light Ball]] with any Pokémon in the same [[egg group]] as Pikachu. If the Pikachu and its mating partner are put into the daycare and they meet the [[Pokémon Breeding|conditions]] to produce an egg, the hatched {{p|Pichu}} will have Volt Tackle.

====Special====
A {{p|Pikachu}} that knows Volt Tackle (as well as {{m|Surf}}) can be obtained from [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] after beating all of the colosseums once. The move can also be obtained in the same way as in Generation III.

</gallery>

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Volt Tackle is Pikachu's [[Final Smash]]. When used, Pikachu will be enveloped by a blue ball of electricity. The ball does major damage and can even pass through platforms, though it is very hard to control.

===Trophy information===
''"Pikachu, transformed into a ball of light that can slam into foes. It can also fly to chase down those who try to jump out of range. Sparks get stronger when you press the attack button. However, its increased inertia makes midair movement tough. If you get carried away flying, the effect will end, and you'll destroy yourself. Be careful it doesn't happen to you."''

==Trivia==
* Volt Tackle's Japanese name, ''Voltteccer'', comes from an attack that Pulseman, the protagonist of {{wp|Pulseman|a Game Freak game of the same name}}, could use. Both attacks are a reference to {{wp|Tekkaman}}, whose signature attack was also called Voltekka.
* Volt Tackle is the only move that causes [[recoil]] to have ever been a [[special move]], due to it being an Electric-type move introduced in [[Generation III]] (had {{m|Flare Blitz}} and {{m|Wood Hammer}} existed in Generation III, they would have been special as well).
*Volt Tackle is the only non-TM, non-move tutor move that cannot be learned via leveling up by any Pokémon.

'''Surf''' (Japanese: '''なみのり''' ''Surfing'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Water}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is [[HM03]] in all generations.

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generations I and {{gen|II}}====
Surf inflicts damage and has no secondary effect.

====[[Generation III]]====
Same as the previous generations, but in a [[double battle]], Surf will hit both opposing Pokémon. Its base [[Power]] is doubled if it is targeted at a Pokémon using {{m|Dive}}.

====[[Generation IV]]====
Same as the previous generation; however, in a double battle, Surf will hit all other Pokémon battling, including the partner.

===Outside of battle===
[[Image:Surf in Gen. IV.jpg|none|thumb|240px|'''Surf''' in the Generation IV games]]
Surf can be used outside of battle to travel over bodies of water. When doing so, [[wild Pokémon]] may be encountered. Surfing is a very important mechanic of the games. Surf is needed in most games to progress through it, sometimes to reach other islands and cities.

The speed of Surfing has varied dramatically through games. In Generations {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|II}}, the speed was at the same speed as walking. In [[Generation III]] the speed was increased to running-speed.

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the Surfing speed was reduced to walking speed again. However, it should be noted that the [[player character]]s in Generations I and II walk at a somewhat faster pace than {{ga|Lucas}} and {{ga|Dawn}}. The speed was returned to running speed in {{game|Platinum}}.

==[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]==
[[Image:Surf Brawl.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Piplup using Surf in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
In '''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''', Piplup creates a wave and then surfs on it, pushing any players it hits.

==Trivia==
* Surf is used by Pokémon in order to swim '''and''' carry humans on their backs '''simultaneously'''. However, some of the Pokémon that can learn it are far too small to possibly carry a 10-year-old on their backs, eg. {{p|Azurill}}.
* Surf and {{m|Fly}} are the only HM moves that become event-exclusive moves on certain Pokémon, both on {{p|Pikachu}}.

The '''Battle Frontier''' (Japanese: バトルフロンティア ''Battle Frontier'') is a special post-league area featured in in the [[Generation IV]] games, {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. It is similar to the Battle Frontier featured in {{game|Emerald}}, the [[Hoenn]] {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}. The key difference is the number of facilities and the challenges they hold.

This Frontier is found in two regions, [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]]; each region's Frontier is identical in facilities and appearance. The Sinnoh Frontier is located north of the [[Fight Area]] in the place of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}'s {{si|Battle Park}}. The Johto Frontier is located west of [[Olivine City]], where the {{jo|Battle Tower}} was located in {{game|Crystal}}. Access to Johto's frontier is through the [[Frontier Front]]. Each of the facilities in the Battle Frontier has a leader, the [[Frontier Brain]], who may be challenged after certain {{wp|winning streak (sports)|winning streaks}} have been made through their respective facilities. Defeating the Frontier Brains will earn the player [[commemorative print]]s.

Only two of the facilities had been featured in Pokémon games prior to the Battle Frontier's debut in Platinum. The Battle Tower and Battle Factory were both present in Emerald; the Battle Tower has been in every game since its debut in Crystal.

==Overview==
[[File:Frontier.png|frame|left|The center of the Battle Frontier, with a map showing the five battle facilities.]]
[[File:HGSSBattlefrontier.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork of the Battle Frontier.]]

Upon the player's first entry into the Battle Frontier, their [[Vs. Recorder]] will be upgraded with a [[Vs. Recorder#Frontier Record|Frontier Record]] by a woman at the entrance. The Vs. Recorder keeps the amount of [[Battle Point]]s the players has. It also contains the [[commemorative print]]s obtained from the Battle Frontier. One {{pkmn|battle}} from within one of the facilities may be recorded and stored on the Frontier Record, which may be watched or overwritten with another at any time.

On winning through a set amount of battles in any given facility, [[Battle Points]], or BP, will be awarded, usually in small amounts, but gradually growing through each consecutive streak. Defeating the Frontier Brain of a given facility for the first time awards the silver commemorative print of that facility, while the second defeat of the same Brain gives the commemorative print a golden color. They are the equivalent of a [[badge]], and equivalent to the [[symbol]]s from [[Hoenn]]'s {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}. The Frontier Brain will only appear in single battle mode. Also, defeating a Brain will always yield a 20BP reward. Battles conducted here do not award [[experience]] or [[Pokémon Dollar|money]].

There are usually three forms of challenges. The first of these challenges is the standard single battle in which the challenger must engage in seven three on three battles in a row. Winning a set of seven battles earns the player [[Battle Point]]s. The second of these challenges follows the same layout as the standard single battle but are rather conducted as [[double battles]]. Each facility also offers Multi Battles that two players can participate in, using the Nintendo DS's Wireless Connection, to increase their record. The Battle Frontier also allows players from around the world connect together using {{wp|Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection}}, to take part in multi Battles in any of the Battle Frontier facilities. This can be done by going to the Wi-Fi Club on the base floor of any [[Pokémon Center]], and selecting the Battle Frontier function. However both players must have entered the [[Hall of Fame]] and visited the Battle Frontier at least once.

Regardless of what challenge is taken, the following Pokémon are not allowed:

The '''Battle Tower''' (Japanese: '''バトルタワー''' ''Battle Tower'') is identical to the {{si|Battle Tower}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. It is the northernmost facility in the Battle Frontier, and has a direct path to it from the entrance. It is on a large, glass platform that elevates above all the other facilities, making it the head of the Battle Frontier. The same small boy who stands in front of the Battle Tower in {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III|Hoenn's Battle Frontier}}, is also standing outside this one.

The player battles seven Trainers consecutively in a simple knock-out, progressively becoming more difficult. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, their [[level]] reduced to 50. Players are not allowed to bring Pokémon with the same items here. Consumed items, such as [[Berry|Berries]], will be replaced after each battle. The player's Pokémon will also be healed completely after each battle. Players will then have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. The difficulty of battles here is based on how many rounds the player endures; the first round features fast opponents, the second round has opponent's Pokémon holding items, and starting in the third round, opponents begin to use strategic battle combinations.

There are also a number of other challenges in the Battle Tower that other facilities don't have. Multi battles can be conducted, following the format found in the other two challenges. Before the challenge begins, players can choose one among [[Riley]], [[Cheryl]], [[Buck]], [[Mira]], and [[Marley]] as their partner, only after meeting them and clearing their area with them. Each partner specializes in a different Pokémon [[stat]], and different Pokémon. There is also another feature that allows the player to randomly download a team using the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], which will then begin to appear in the player's Battle Tower challenges. One can also upload their team to the database to be downloaded by another player.

{{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Tower. He can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. His first lineup is filled with final evolutions, with high stats to match. Once defeated, he will give away the silver commemorative print. Palmer can be challenged again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated. He uses different Pokémon during the second match, battling with three [[legendary Pokémon]].

====Awards====
Unlike the other facilities at the Battle Frontier, the Battle Tower awards the player [[goods]] and [[ribbon]]s for meeting certain conditions. Not only are there prizes for single battle, but also for winning consecutive [[double battle]]s or multi battle in the Wi-Fi battle room.

The '''Battle Factory''' (Japanese: '''バトルファクトリー''' ''Battle Factory'') is another battle venue in the Generation IV Battle Frontier, having basically the same rules as [[Hoenn]]'s {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}'s Battle Factory. It is located on the northeast corner of the Battle Frontier. The blue building itself is like much like a factory, with exhaust fans, and pipes. There is a long, glass panel on the floor of the building that transfers information around. There are [[Poké Ball]]s containing rental Pokémon in glass storage panels inside, and there is an electronic battle ground that lights up before a battle begins. Like Hoenn's Battle Factory, it is more dedicated to research than the other facilities, and the subject of the scientists' research is the abilities of Trainers when using random Pokémon in battle.

Before entering the Battle Factory, the player will be asked to hand over their current party in exchange for rental Pokémon. The player will then be able to choose three out of six random Pokémon to rent and battle another Trainer with rental Pokémon in that round. After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. If the player continues, they will get the offer to trade one of the rental Pokémon for their opponent's rental Pokémon, but they may not see the Pokémon's status before trading. A scientist will tell the player what Pokémon their opponent will be using before every battle, but after the player progresses through consecutive battles, the scientist will tell less and less.

{{FB|Factory Head|Thorton}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Factory. He can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. Thorton is subject to the same rules in the Battle Factory; he must use rental Pokémon as well, and so cannot be known until he is encountered. He could have anything except for the Pokémon that are not admissible in the Battle Frontier. Once defeated, he will give away the silver commemorative print. Thorton can be challenged again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated.

====Staff information====
The Battle Factory scientist staff member will hint about the next Pokémon or move the player will face. But after the player progresses through rounds, the scientist will hint less information than last round. Use the data to decide which Pokémon the player rents, and form a strategy based around it.

The '''Battle Arcade''' (Japanese: '''バトルルーレット''' ''Battle Roulette'') is a new facility located in the southeastern corner of the Battle Frontier. The building itself looks like a large tent, with articular domes, much like {{wp|Saint Basil's Cathedral}}. Inside the Arcade, it is dark with strange patterns on the walls and floors like a tent. In the stadium room, there is a large screen called the ''Game Board'' that most of the game is displayed on.

The player battles seven Trainers consecutively in a knock-out, much like all other facilities in the Battle Frontier. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, having their [[level]] reduced to 50. Prior to battles, all items equipped on the Pokémon used are removed. Battles in the Battle Arcade are either 3 vs 3 (single) or 4 vs 4 (double). Upon entering, the player's Pokémon will be seen on the Game Board. The foe's Pokémon will also be seen when they enter the field.

Before a battle begins, the player must play the game board to determine the condition of the battle. The game board is a massive roulette machine that will scroll quickly through a grid of small boxes, known as ''Events''. Landing on a black box affects the player while landing on a red box affects the foe. Gray boxes, on the other hand, affect both foes. Each event will have a different effect; some may lower the opponent's HP, poison the opponent's Pokémon, or speed up the game board. The choice may affect the player's Pokémon, the opponent's, or even the field. The board may land on status ailments, weather changes, level changes, berries and more. It may even land on nothing. The status ailments appear to be based on moves with certain types. This means that {{type2|Steel}}s are immune to poisoning and {{type2|Ground}}s are immune to paralysis. Every battle is called a ''game''; for example, the first battle is known as ''Game No. 1''. After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]].

{{FB|Arcade Star|Dahlia}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Arcade. She can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. The Pokémon that Dahlia uses in her first match share common type weaknesses - {{type2|Poison}}, {{type2|Flying}}, and {{type2|Ghost}}. Once defeated, she will give away the silver commemorative print. Dahlia can be challenged again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated.

====Nullify events====
Some events that include poisoning, paralyzing, freezing, and burning Pokémon can be negated by certain abilities and types. The status ailments appear to be based on moves with certain types; {{type2|Steel}}s are immune to poisoning and {{type2|Ground}}s are immune to paralysis.

The '''Battle Castle''' (Japanese: '''バトルキャッスル''' ''Battle Castle'') is another new facility located in the southwestern corner of the Battle Frontier. The Battle Castle, as its name suggests, is a huge castle, with elegant furniture on the floor and sparkling jewels on the wall. There is a golden carpet from the entrance to the battle ground. In the stadium itself, [[Castle Valet Darach and Lady Caitlin|Lady Caitlin]], the princess of the castle, sits on her throne atop a platform, watching down on battles. Her butler, Darach, directs people to their battle, handing out prizes to people after victory.

In the Battle Castle, players must fight seven opponents in a row. Like in the Battle Arcade, all held items are removed prior to battling. Before entering, Trainers will choose three Pokémon to battle, having their [[level]] reduced to 50. After entering, the player will meet [[Castle Valet Darach and Lady Caitlin|Castle Valet Darach]] in the hallway, and he will give 10 Castle Points, or CP, to the player, and will lead them to the battles.

Castle Points are the currency within the Battle Castle — special things must be done to gain them, but they can be exchanged for certain benefits. Winning allows players to receive Castle Points, which are used in multiple ways. The Castle Points can allow players to heal their Pokémon's HP, PP, both, or buy items for use inside the Battle Castle, such as berries. It can also allow players to see their opponents' Pokémon and even increase or decrease their levels by five. Unlike other facilities in the Battle Frontier, in the Battle Castle, Pokémon will not be healed automatically after a battle.

At first, the player will be limited to what they can do with their CP, but if they save up enough, they can rank up and unlock more abilities, such as increasing the selection of items they can buy for their Pokémon, or increasing the amount of information the player can get on the opponent. After winning a battle, the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. If the player chooses to continue, they will be able to get the chance to exchange CP for advantages. In Multi Battle mode, both players keep their own individual CP and ranks, but can also spend their CP for their teammate's Pokémon's benefit, such as buying an item that their teammate cannot currently afford.

[[Castle Valet Darach and Lady Caitlin|Lady Caitlin and her valet, Darach]] are the [[Frontier Brain]]s for the Battle Castle. Darach is challenged after 21 consecutive battles. The Pokémon that he uses in his first match are unique. They use powerful attacks that burn and paralyze Pokémon. Once defeated, he will give away the silver commemorative print. He is battled again after 49 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated.

====Receiving CP====
Castle Points or CP is used as currency in the Battle Castle. The player automatically receives 10CP on entry. Winning battles also allows players to receive Castle Points, which are used in multiple ways. There are certain conditions the player can try to meet for more CP.

====Spending CP====
The Castle Points can allow players to heal their Pokémon's HP, PP, both, or buy items for use inside the Battle Castle, such as berries. It can also allow players to see their opponents' Pokémon and even increase or decrease their levels by five. This can only be done by exchanging CP earned in battles, before every battle. CP can also be used to rank up certain actions, so instead of renting the normal eight berries, the player can increase the rank to level 2 so they are able to rent 8 kinds of berries and 12 kinds of items. Some advantages can be ranked up twice to level 3 for more advantages.

The '''Battle Hall''' (Japanese: '''バトルステージ''' ''Battle Stage'') is another facility located in the northwestern corner of the Battle Frontier. The stadium is a huge {{wp|catwalk}}, in where people walk down the catwalk to the battleground, while fans take a number of photos and the spotlights shine all over the place. There is also a red carpet on the floor, all the way from the entrance to the stadium.

The Battle Hall is unique from any other facility in the Battle Frontier, as there are 10 battles per round instead of the usual 7, and only one Pokémon can be used in a single battle, meaning the battles are one-on-one. Before entering the Battle Hall, the player will be asked to select one Pokémon level 30 or higher for entry. If it is a different Pokémon than last time, the attendant will warn the player that they are using a different Pokémon, as Pokémon are used in winning streaks, and if the player uses a different Pokémon, the streak will be lost.
[[File:HGSS Battle Hall.png|thumb|right|The Battle Hall in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}]]
Once the Pokémon is entered, the player will go down the runway and will have to choose from a list of types which [[type]] they want to battle. This lets players control their advantages, as they are about to choose their own type they want to battle. As the only thing known about an opponent is one of the types of their Pokémon, the game may occasionally throw a curveball, such as if a player chooses to use a {{type2|Fighting}} against their {{type2|Dark}} opponent, they may find out that the opponent is using the {{2t|Ghost|Dark}} {{p|Spiritomb}} who is immune to Fighting moves.

As the player wins against each type, that type raises in rank, causing the Pokémon of that type challenged to raise in level, making this the only facility to feature Pokémon above level 50. The opponent's Pokémon can be chosen from any one of the 17 types. Each type begins at Rank 1, and advances to the next rank when the battle is won. The ranks will go up to 10, with Ranks 8-10 having Pokémon of different types.

After winning a battle, the player's Pokémon will be healed completely, and the player will have the option to continue, rest, retire, or get their most recent battle recorded on their [[Vs. Recorder]]. Players must also have ten battles in a row before they're allowed to exit. If doing a Double Battle challenge, the player must enter two of the same species of Pokémon.

{{FB|Hall Matron|Argenta}} is the [[Frontier Brain]] for the Battle Hall. She can be challenged after 50 consecutive battles, which is unique as all other Frontier Brains can be challenged after 21 consecutive battles. Like {{FB|Factory Head|Thorton}}, her Pokémon are completely random, and the player can not choose the type she uses from the list. She could have anything except for the Pokémon that are not admissible in the Battle Frontier. Once defeated, she will give away the silver commemorative print. Argenta can be challenged again after 170 consecutive battles, and will give away the gold commemorative print when defeated. The player must defeat all types at least 10 times before challenging her again and again.

====Gaining fans====
In the Battle Hall, the player will gain fans as their total record or their winning streak increases. If the player is a female, their major fan is Serena, and if the player is a male, their major fan is Winston. They can be found in the Battle Hall lobby in various locations with varying dialogue. The player will also get visitors cheering them on in the lobby. If the player's total record is over 500, they will get the professor's assistant. If the record is over 1,000, the player will get [[Johanna]], and over 10,000 will get [[Professor Oak]] or [[Jasmine]].

====Raising records====
At the Battle Hall, the staff members next to the monitor will keep track of the player's total record, which is how many successive wins the player has earned with all of their Pokémon. For example, if two different Pokémon have both won 10 times, then the total record is 20. The player earn BP based on the total record.

===Entrance hall===
[[File:Sinnoh Battle Frontier Brain artwork.png|thumb|left|220px|Artwork of the Battle Frontier featuring the Frontier Brains]]
[[Image:Battle frontier sinnoh entrance.gif‎|thumb|right|200px|The entrance]]
The entrance hall is the entrance to the Battle Frontier from the [[Fight Area]]. Because the Battle Frontier does not have a [[Pokémon Center]], unlike {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III|Hoenn's}}, it cannot be accessed to by {{m|Fly}}, making the entrance hall the only way to get into the Battle Frontier. Upon the player's first entry into the Battle Frontier, their [[Vs. Recorder]] will be upgraded with a [[Vs. Recorder#Frontier Record|Frontier Record]], by the women at the entrance. There are many women that will guide and explain venues of the Battle Frontier.

* The top left woman will explain the Battle Castle
* The top right woman will explain the Battle Arcade
* The middle left woman will explain the Battle Factory
* The middle right woman will explain the Battle Hall
* The bottom left woman will explain about the Battle Frontier itself.
* The bottom right woman will explain the Battle Tower

===Stats Judge===
In the lobby of the Battle Tower is a man who can appraise one of the player's Pokémon by looking at its stats. He considers himself a Judge of Trainer's Pokémon. He will tell the player three things about the Pokémon; about their stats, their most striking stat, and the value of their striking stat.

===Exchange Service Corner===

[[image:Sinnoh BF.png|thumb|300px|right|Artwork of the Battle Frontier (illus. [[Midori Harada]])]]
The Exchange Service Corner is located within the center of the Battle Frontier. The player can buy various goods with [[Battle Point]]s won from the facilities. The Battle Frontier's prizes are similar to {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}'s {{si|Battle Tower}}'s prizes. They also use [[Battle Point]]s which are won in the Frontier's various facilities. They can be bought at the stalls at the center of the Frontier. The following items are offered as prizes:

===Pokémon Scratch-Off Corner===
[[File:Scratchoff.png|thumb|right|Scratching a Pokémon Scratch-Off Card]]
The Pokémon Scratch-Off Corner is located just north of the Exchange Service Corner. Pokémon Scratch-Off is a game that can be played for 1BP. With this one BP, the player gets three different Scratch-Off Cards that could cause the player to win up to 3 items, including berries, or could leave them with nothing. Because they are a bit like {{wp|Scratchcard}}s, it is all up to chance. When the player spends the Battle Point, they will get to select 3 cards from a selection of red, blue, green, and yellow color on the touch screen. Once done, scratching mode will begin. Using the stylus, the player will have to get three Pokémon to get the particular item that is revealed under the scratch-off. As soon as the player touches any part of any of the 9 blocks, they must choose that one as one of the choices. There is an extra Pokémon on the card, a {{p|Ditto}}. If the player get a Ditto, it acts as a Wild-Card, transforming into any other Pokémon should the player manage to get two of them. There are a total of three out of twenty-three different berries to be won, and there will always be a [[Nugget]] to be won.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Platbf.PNG|right|200px|thumb|The Battle Frontier logo]]
* The Battle Frontier logo is the color code of the venues corresponding to the five battle venues and their position in the Battle Frontier.
** The color code of each of the venues corresponds approximately to the color codes of each of the five [[flavor]]s of [[Berry]] and to the types of [[Pokémon Contest]]s and {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s.
* Due to the pairing of {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach and Lady Caitlin}}, there is an equal number of male and female Frontier Brains. This is the case with Sinnoh's [[Gym Leaders]] as well.
* Taking into consideration the effects that could hinder or help the player's Pokémon and the fact that its design is similar to Russia's {{wp|St. Basil's Cathedral}}, the Battle Arcade's Japanese name, Battle Roulette, may have been based on the term "{{wp|Russian roulette}}".
* Several of the Frontier Brains have Pokémon with moves they normally learn at a higher level. This may mean that their Pokémon also decrease in level when they are above level 50.
* All Frontier Brains with a fixed team have at least one legendary Pokémon in their party when they are battled for the gold commemorative print.
* Although Pokémon under level 30 are banned from use by the player at the Battle Hall, opponent Trainers can use Pokémon under this level.
* This Battle Frontier is the first one of it's kind to appear in two separate locations in one Generation.
** Also, it is the first one to appear in the mainland of one region, in this case, the Johto region.

'''Machamp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイリキー''' ''Kairiky'') is a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Machoke}} when [[trade]]d. It is the final form of {{p|Machop}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Machamp is a bipedal Pokémon and is notable for being extremely muscled and having four arms. Its skin color is bluish-gray and it has red colored eyes. On its head, there are three ridges right above it eyes, which are also right above its frog-like mouth. It has two arms on each side of its body, a pair located where its arms were in its pre-evolved form, and another pair directly above that attached and the top of the shoulder. It wears a leg-less black girdle along with the power-save belt that it wore as a Machoke. Its legs are also quite muscled and its feet only have two toes.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
It punches extremely fast and is known to have mastered every form of martial arts. The maximum amount of punches they can throw in a few seconds is approximately one thousand. Its {{m|Seismic Toss|attacks}} send foes flying over the horizon. With only one hand, it can {{m|Strength|move a mountain}}. It can hit from a multitude of angles, due to its four arms. However, it has bad dexterity, and cannot handle delicate work without its arms getting tangled.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Machamp live in mountains, in forbidding areas where they can hone their skills.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Machamp anime.jpg|right|thumb|Machamp in the anime]]
===Major Appearances===
[[Giovanni]], the leader of [[Team Rocket]] and the former [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian City]], has a Machamp. He loaned it to [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} after he put them in charge of the [[gym]] in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''.

A Machamp is used in the Sumo contest in ''[[EP194|The Ring Masters]]''. It loses to [[Ash's Snorlax]] in the semifinals.

===Minor Appearances===
A Machamp was used by [[Raymond]] to battle [[Ash's Squirtle]] during the opening of ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

[[Morrison]] battled against a Machamp belonging to a very muscular Trainer named [[Gavin]] during the Hoenn League in ''[[AG127|From Brags to Riches]]''. Morrison's {{p|Gligar}} managed to defeat Gavin's Machamp.

A Machamp belonging to {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} made a cameo appearance in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]''.

In ''[[AG140|Sitting Psyduck]]'', {{ka|Emily}} used Machamp and its two pre-evolved forms to chase after her runaway {{p|Psyduck}}.

Several Machamp and Machoke appear as construction workers in ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]''.

A Machamp was used by one of the participants of [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]] in ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Green}} has a Machamp that evolved when it was under {{Special|Red}}'s ownership, reflecting Machoke's evolution being triggered by [[trade]]. It was later seen in {{PSV|3}}, fighting Red's {{p|Snorlax}} at [[Indigo Plateau]], blocking its attacks and even managing to lift its huge bulk. Ultimately, Machamp was knocked out after Snorlax came back with an aerial {{m|Double-Edge}}.

Machamp was also one of the Pokémon used by [[Chuck]] against Green's {{p|Rhydon}} in {{PSV|13}}.

Green later brings Machamp to the [[Sevii Islands]], in which Machamp makes extremely short work of Red's Snorlax during the training session on [[Boon Island|Two Island]].

==Trivia==
* Machamp's original English name was Ju-Doh.
* Machamp is one of the three Pokémon having a total of four arms. The others are {{p|Graveler}} and {{p|Ledian}}.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, a NPC will trade a Cubone for Machoke, which will then evolve to Machamp. This is the only time an [[List of in-game trades|NPC trade]] will result in an evolution in a game released outside of Japan.
:*If the player uses breeding in a [[Generation II]] game to acquire a Level 5 Cubone and trades it to Yellow, the player can then trade it to the NPC and acquire a legal Level 5 Machamp.
* Despite being the ''Superpower'' Pokémon, Machamp could not learn {{m|Superpower}} until {{game|Platinum}}.
* Machamp is tied with {{p|Breloom}} for having the highest {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Machamp appears to be based on a {{wp|bodybuilder}} or wrestler. Also, due to having four arms, it could have been inspired by {{wp|Kintaro (Mortal Kombat)|Kintaro}}, a boss character from {{wp|Mortal Kombat II}}. Seeing as it has more than two arms, and blue skin, Machamp might also be based on a Hindu god, perhaps {{wp|Shiva}} or {{wp|Vishnu}}. Also, due to having four arms, it could have been inspired by Tienshinhan, a character from the Dragonball Series, in the series, Tienshinhan has the ability to grow an additional set of arms. Machamp may be based partially on {{wp|Kinnikuman}}, a character from a manga series by the same name. Like Machamp, Kinnikuman is a wrestler and notably has big lips, akin to Machamp's, as well as a spike on in his head that resembles the ones Machamp has as well. It is also worth noting that in Japan, the Machop evolution family is know as the きんにく "''Kinniku''" (Muscle) Pokémon.
====Name origin====
Machamp's name may be a combination of ''champion'' and ''macho'', which is {{wp|Spanish (language)|Spanish}} for overly masculine or chauvinist. ''Macho'' has come to mean tough or masculine in English. Unlike {{p|Mr. Mime}}, this is reflected in the gender distribution, as 75% of all Machamp are male. ''Kairiky'' is a corruption of 怪力 ''kairiki'', superhuman strength. It is worth noting that ''kairiki'' is the Japanese name of {{m|Strength}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Machomei
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Mackogneur - ''Macho'' has a similar meaning as in English, ''cogneur'' (slugger). The ''ch'' was likely replaced by the ''ck'' to keep the sound of ''cogneur'' intact.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 괴력몬 ''Gwiryeokmon''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 怪力 - Literally "strange strength".

'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

While it is similar to other legendary Pokémon in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, including its post-National Dex appearance and lack of relation to the games' overall plot, it was revealed in early February, 2008 to have an [[Form differences#Giratina|alternate form]] known as the Origin Forme, in addition to the form it takes in Diamond and Pearl, the Altered Forme. It is in this new form that Giratina took its place as [[version mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}, the third version of [[Generation IV]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
As first revealed by Japan's CoroCoro Magazine, Giratina has two forms. The first (Altered Forme) is the form that appeared in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. In this form, Giratina is has a large, gray, centipede-like body with six short legs. Its legs have gold claws and gold bands on them. It has a tail and a thick black stripe running vertically along the front of its body. There is a series of red horizontal stripes running across the large black one. Three gold half-rings circle the back half of Giratina's neck at the same points that three of the red stripes are at on its front, resembling a ribcage. On its back are two large, black wings that are decorated with red, conical objects that also could be claws. The wings seem oddly out of place, due to the fact that Giratina seems far too heavy to fly effectively. The wings also seem to be ghostly, as they can change shape as if they were made of a liquid.

Giratina's head and eyes resemble those of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, causing many to theorize that it is related to the two. This assumption is confirmed in Pokémon Platinum. Giratina's {{shiny2}} form is nearly opposite in color compared to the original. The colors of the shiny Origin Forme is the same as the Altered Forme's except for the wings which appear to be a dark shade of brown.

The second is a new Origin Forme which made its debut in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''; it uses this form when traveling through dimensions other than ours, such as the Distortion World. The form-altering is triggered by a change of gravity. This form is more serpentine than Giratina's Altered Forme. The Origin Forme of Giratina has six black streamers on its back that each have a red spike at the end. Its mouth is hidden by the head plates, which swing open sideways when the mouth is opening. Giratina's legs have been reduced to spike-like protrusions. There are four more golden spikes near the edge of the tail. This version of Giratina also appears in {{game|Platinum}}, and can be activated outside of the [[Distortion World]] if it is holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}}.

Giratina's body is likely made up of antimatter, like all things from the Distortion World.

====Gender differences====
Giratina is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
As to be expected with other {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, Giratina is capable of using Ghost, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Psychic}} and {{t|Electric}}al attacks. Unlike other {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon, Giratina lacks the ability to wield {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Fire}} attacks (save for {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, which most Ghost-types learn anyway). Giratina is one out of seven Pokémon that is capable of using {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Since Giratina is a "true" Dragon Pokémon, it is also capable of using {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

In Platinum, Giratina can transform to its Origin Forme by equipping the Griseous Orb. If the orb is unequipped in battle, it goes back to Altered Forme. The Origin Forme has higher offensive stats while the Altered Forme has higher defenses. Since Giratina's Origin Forme (and the Griseous Orb, for that matter) is exclusive to Platinum, when it is traded to Diamond or Pearl it will revert back to its Altered Forme, and the Griseous Orb it was holding goes back into the player's bag.

Giratina is able to control dimensions besides those of time and space.

Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Shadow Force}}.

When in its Origin Forme, it is able to pass through dimensions at will, however, it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the [[Reverse World]]. It does so by emitting a whirlwind from its mouth which creates a portal.

It also seems to have a connection to reflective objects, such as mirrors and pools of water. Reflections embody the concept of an antimatter world.

===Behavior===
Judging by the events in Pokémon Platinum and ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', its portrayal in [[Sinnoh myths|ancient folklore]], and its Platinum Pokédex entry, it's assumed that Giratina is a highly aggressive Pokémon protective of [[Distortion World|its home]]. It should be noted that despite the legends depicting it in a more evil light than the others in its trio, Giratina arrived at Spear Pillar to save the world from Cyrus' attempted apotheosis; though it may have arrived to protect its own world from destruction.

===Habitat===
Legends claim that Giratina appear in cemeteries and that this Pokémon species supposedly lives in the spirit world, on the reverse side of ours. It was banished for violence.

===Diet===

==In the anime==

{{an|Giratina}} made its anime debut in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the movie, Giratina ambushes and drags {{an|Dialga}} into the [[Reverse World]] in order to exact revenge against the Temporal Pokémon for causing damage to it during its fight with {{an|Palkia}} [[The Rise of Darkrai|some time before]]. [[Zero]] also attempts to copy Giratina's powers in order to take control over the Reverse World. Throughout the movie, Giratina takes on its Origin Forme whenever it is in the Reverse World, and its Altered Forme whenever it is in the real world.

The Giratina makes a second appearance in the [[Arceus and the Jewel of Life|twelfth movie]] alongside {{an|Dialga}}, {{an|Palkia}}, and {{p|Arceus}}.

==In the manga==
In ''[[Arceus and the Jewel of Life (manga)|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Giratina, along with the members of its trio, battles in a final showdown.

* Giratina is the only dual-type Pokémon that has weaknesses to both of its own types, as well as the only {{type2|Ghost}} legendary Pokémon.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Giratina.
* Giratina has the highest HP stat of all legendary Pokémon, however, it is tied with non-legendaries {{p|Slaking}} and {{p|Drifblim}} and beaten by {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Wailord}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Blissey}}, all non-legendary.
* Giratina is one of very few non-{{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that is able to learn {{m|Fly}}. The others are: {{p|Vibrava}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}} (all four of which have the [[ability]] {{a|Levitate}}), {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, and {{p|Arceus}} (all three of which can learn all [[HM]] moves). It is the only one who does not permanently keep Levitate. Additionally, before the revelation of its Origin Forme, it was unique in learning Fly but not having legitimate access to Levitate at all.
* It is one of eight Pokémon which can change forms, the other seven being {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Cherrim}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}. Giratina's Origin Forme is only available in {{game|Platinum}}.
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Giratina is met at level 70, while {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} are met at level 47, but in {{v2|Platinum}}, Giratina is met at level 47, while {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} are met at level 70.
*Among all members of the Dragon trio, Giratina is the only one not having Special Attack as its highest stat, having HP as its highest stat.
* Giratina, as of Platinum, is the only Pokémon to come out from above instead of from the left of the screen during the start of the battle.
* When Giratina is first fought against in Platinum, it does not have a shadow. After capturing it, though, it has one when leaving a [[Poké Ball]]. This may also occur following the use of {{m|Shadow Force}}.
** Coincidentally, [[Cyrus]] keeps referring to Giratina as ''the shadowy creature''.
* The first shown sprite of its Origin Forme was not used in Platinum.
* Giratina is the only one of the [[dragon trio]] with a catch rate of 3.
* In its Origin Forme, Giratina has the highest {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Giratina's Altered Forme is the second heaviest of all Pokémon, surpassed only by {{p|Groudon}}; however, its Origin Forme is the fourth heaviest.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon in a legendary trio that is separated from the other members of its group in the Pokédex; {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Regigigas}} separate Giratina from {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon of its trio whose {{m|Shadow Force|signature move}} is not of the {{type|Dragon}}.
* Giratina is the only one of its trio without a jewel located somewhere on its body.
* Giratina is considered to be the forgotten one among itself, Dialga and Palkia, even though all three were created by {{p|Arceus}}.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon that is able to hold the Griseous Orb; a Ditto that transforms into an Origin Forme Giratina during battle will immediately change back into Altered Forme (unless in battle with it in the Distortion World).
* In {{v2|Platinum}}, if Giratina is knocked out in the [[Distortion World]], it can be battled again in [[Turnback Cave]] (and thus in Altered Forme).
** If it is defeated a second time in the Turnback Cave battle, it will reappear in one week for another battle. It shares this trait with {{p|Heatran}}. However, the items rewarded for completing Turnback Cave's maze will be unavailable during this time.
* In interviews [[Junichi Masuda]] and [[Takeshi Kawachimaru]] did for G4, it was said that Giratina and its Distortion World were created to be personifications of {{wp|antimatter}}.
* Giratina is the only Pokémon at the end of a regional Pokédex listing that is not an event-exclusive Pokémon.

===Origin===
Giratina is possibly based on a {{wp|basilisk}}. In the Altered Forme, the wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a {{wp|sauropod}}. Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based off of a [[wp:scorpion|scorpion]]'s stinger.

====Name origin====
Giratina's name may be derived from {{wp|platinum}} (written as プラチナ ''platina'' in {{wp|katakana}}; compare to ギラティナ) and either {{wp|guillotine}}, [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Girasol girasol], {{wp|giraffe}} or girare (meaning to wander).

The '''Johto region''' (Japanese: '''ジョウト地方''' ''Jōto-chihō'') is a large area located west of [[Kanto]]. Johto and Kanto are part of a large landmass, with everything west of [[Indigo Plateau]] falling in the Johto region. Though it is unlike Kanto in that its name is not directly based on that of a region of Japan, [[Junichi Masuda]] has come forward in his director's column naming the kanji that inspired the name mean "castle palace" (城都) or "lattice-shaped palace" (条都); this meaning is connected to the city of {{wp|Nara, Nara|Nara}}, which was the basis for [[Violet City]].

First explored in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, it is home to an additional 100 [[Pokémon]] that were not present in [[Generation I|previous games]]. In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|their remakes|s}}, players begin their journey in [[New Bark Town]], where [[Professor Elm]] offers either {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} or {{p|Totodile}} to beginning [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. The English-version names of most of the cities in Johto are also the names of plants or things related to plants.

==Geography==
The geography of Johto is much like that of Kanto. It is marked by a mountain range in the north and a vast sea to the south.

==Culture==
===History===
After Johto was created, alongside [[Kanto]], by {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} at the beginning of the {{pkmn|universe}}, Pokémon no one had seen before began inhabiting the region. 1500 years before [[Generation I]], the earliest known system for writing is developed and used at the [[Ruins of Alph]] of Johto. Archaeologists are currently unsure whether the nearly identical {{p|Unown}} preceded or succeeded the English alphabet, but it is assumed they share some sort of connection. Approximately 700 years ago, [[Tin Tower]] and [[Brass Tower]] are constructed in [[Ecruteak City]], and {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} perch at their tops. It lived on for another 550 years before [[Brass Tower]] burns to the ground, killing three Pokémon inside. Lugia flees to the [[Whirl Islands]], Ho-Oh resurrects the three as the [[legendary beasts]] and flies off in search of a pure-hearted {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

===Connection to Japan===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world}}

Regardless of their proximity, the people of Johto and those of Kanto are set apart by many cultural differences. Johto is based on the real {{wp|Kansai region}} in Japan. This trait is most noticeable in its geography; however, the Kansai influence also defines the culture in Johto. Kansai residents are known for their attitudes against typical Japanese standards, mostly due to the historical rivalry between the region, once the major seat of political power, and the real {{wp|Kantō region}} where Tokyo, the current capital, is located. The soil of the Kansai region is rich, unlike the volcanic Kantō region, and this is perhaps referenced by the in-game Kanto region's inability to maintain a [[berry]] crop in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]]. People from Kansai are considered to be more relaxed. Kansai and Kantō, however different, are the two most important areas of Honshū, the largest island in Japan, and, much like Johto and Kanto, represent a harmony of contrasting cultures living together. The cultural divide is most noticeable in the games, as the player talks to and learns about the denizens of both regions.

Certain cultural aspects of the Johto region are deep-seated in Japanese history, as well. Kyoto, which is probably the basis for Ecruteak City, is considered the cultural center of Japan. Kyoto and its many historical temples, shrines, palaces, gardens and architecture have been preserved. This connection to history is reflected in many areas of Johto. However, Goldenrod City (like Osaka) is typically modern.

==In Generation IV==
Johto returns in [[Generation IV]]'s {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} much as [[Kanto]] returned in [[Generation III]]'s {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, with its graphics boosted to the current level on the [[Nintendo DS]]. All areas from its Generation II iteration return, however, several new areas, such as Johto's own new {{jo|Safari Zone}}, and Battle Frontier are also added. Also, two new routes are introduced. [[Route 47]] and [[Route 48]]. Like in Generation III Kanto, a special image of a landmark is shown briefly when it is entered. Other than this, Johto remains for the most part much the same as it was.

==Trivia==
*Johto is the only main region in which {{p|Pikachu}} is not found in the wild, though Pikachu are available in [[Generation II]] when the player travels to [[Kanto]] later in the game.
*It is the only region in which [[Ash Ketchum]] did not meet a new {{ashfr|traveling companion}}.
*Johto is the only region without:
**a [[Cycling Road]]
**a Pokémon burial ground
**its own set of [[Fossil|fossil Pokémon]]
**its own [[Victory Road]]
**an autonomous [[Pokémon League]] (shared with Kanto)
**its own storage system developer (Bill also developed that of Kanto)
**its own villainous team (Team Rocket is shared with Kanto)
**prior to Generation IV, Johto was also the only region without a [[Johto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|true regional Pokédex]].
*This lack is mostly due to the fact that Generation II is very dependent on [[Generation I]], and as the latter half of the game's storyline takes place in Kanto, there was no need to repeat many things.
*Johto is the only region where the first Gym doesn't specialize in {{type2|Rock}}s (likely due to Kanto's [[Brock]] doing so as there is no overlap in the two regions' Gyms). Despite this, Jasmine is said to have once used Rock-types.
*Between Johto and Kanto, only the Dark-type is not represented by an official Gym. However, [[Karen]] of the [[Elite Four]] uses Dark-type Pokémon.
*Unused location data for Johto (similar to the data for [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]] used for Pal Park) exists within the programming of Generation IV's games. Pokémon actually caught in Johto, however, display as being from a [[faraway place]] when traded to a game taking place in [[Sinnoh]].
