'''Pokémon Online''' is the most popular Pokémon battle simulator with over 900,000 battles played in December 2010 alone. It allows players to experience real time Pokémon battles against Pokémon players from all over the world. It was created using the C++ programming language and Qt development framework. It is open-source and free for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. The latest version is 1.0.21.

== Features ==

Pokémon Online has a full battle engine for the second, third, fourth, and fifth generations with all Pokémon, moves, items, and abilities implemented. Single, Double, and Triple battle formats are supported allowing for diversity of play and giving VGC players a place to practice, along with the team preview and a selection of common clauses. The teambuilder allows competitive teams to be constructed in minutes rather than the days or weeks it would take in a real game, which means almost all competitive players use it as a testing ground. Pokémon Online also has:

* A ladder system
* An IRC-like channel system
* Private Messages
* Ignore button
* Animated HP bars
* Battle music and Pokémon cries
* Challenge Cup (With Level Balance clause)

And Plugins or scripts can be created to add more features to the client or server.

=== Scripting ===

Server scripts can be written in Javascript allowing almost unlimited flexibility. The most notable scripts so far are the Mafia Script which runs mafia games in the chat, and the Tournament Script which runs tournaments of any size with minimal intervention, allowing large tournaments to be hosted constantly on the bigger servers. Documentation on scripting for PO and information on the custom functions can be found [http://pokemon-online.eu/forums/showthread.php?1708-Script-functions-documentation here].

=== Usage statistics ===
On 28 July, 2010, the very first Pokémon Online usage statistics were released for all the tiers supported. The statistics contained the number of battles and percentage each Pokémon has been used, along with the different sets, EVs and natures. Currently detailed statistics from October onwards can be found [http://91.121.73.228/Past%20Stats/index.html here]. Other servers may download the stat collection plugin and generate their own usage stats to publish, but so far none have.

=== Themes ===
The themes are stored with the client as CSS and images so can be easily edited. The client is able to switch between several themes and many alternate themes are available for download [http://pokemon-online.eu/forums/forumdisplay.php?28-Arts-and-Graphics&prefixid=art_theme here].

== Development ==
Pokémon Online was developed by coyotte508 as the lead programmer, Darkness as the designer and nmilkosky as the programmer. [[User:Tenno Seremel|Mystra]], Mephistos, KazoWAR, CoolKingler and Steve have all contributed to the code. On 28 November, 2010, Version 1.0 was released, its "out-of-beta" stage. Weby currently hosts the main server, called Pokemon Online. Like the rest of the program the server software is open and anyone is free to set up a server.

'''Smogon University''', commonly shortened to '''Smogon''', is a website whose content encompass competitive [[Pokémon]] [[Pokémon battle|battling]]. It offers guides on battling strategies for people of different Pokémon knowledge backgrounds. The website was founded by 'chaos' (one of the developers of [[NetBattle]]) and is a considerably well-known website, visited by competitive Pokémon battling enthusiasts.

The Smogon motto is "Pokémon on the Internet: Let's make it happen" and their mascot is the Pokémon {{p|Koffing}}, the name Smogon itself being the German moniker for this Pokémon.

== Site ==
=== Website ===
The official website contains various articles and information about competitive Pokémon battling.
=== Forums ===
The forums has over 30,000 members and several sections. During [[Generation IV]], Smogon was affiliated with [[Shoddy Battle]], and the official support and discussion forum of Shoddy Battle was a section on the Smogon forums. Smogon Residents of the Smogon forums are referred to as "Smogoneers" or "Smogonites".

=== IRC ===
Smogon operates several IRC channels on irc.synirc.net, the most important being #dreamworld for Pokémon centric discussion and #smogon as the more general channel.

== Competitive Battling ==
The term 'competitive battling' within Pokémon refers to battling against other human players using either Wifi Battling via the Nintendo DS, the downloadable programs <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.pokemon-online.eu Pokémon Online]</span>, <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.shoddybattle.com Shoddy Battle]</span> and <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.netbattle.net NetBattle]</span> or any of a number of battle simulating bots, usually found on {{wp|IRC}}. Both of these are online simulations of Pokémon games, where one may build a team of Pokémon with relative ease. Experienced players, 24-hour servers, diverse communities and an opportunity to test out strategies are just a few advantages of online battling, but perhaps the most vital advantage is battling against sentient players rather than {{wp|artificial intelligence|AI}} - which requires a significant amount more intelligence and strategy to succeed.

=== Pokémon Online ===
[[Pokémon Online (battle simulator)|Pokémon Online]] is an application for competitive Pokémon battling, compatible with [[Generation]]s {{Gen|III}}, {{Gen|IV}}, and {{Gen|V}}. On November 21, 2010, Smogon released its official [[Pokémon Online (battle simulator)|Pokémon Online]] server.

=== Shoddy Battle ===
[[Shoddy Battle]] is an application for [[Generation IV]] competitive Pokémon battling. Due to its increasing popularity during [[Generation IV]], Smogon once ran a dedicated Shoddy Battle server, and later had affiliated with Shoddy Battle itself. Due to Shoddy Battle's incompatibility with [[Generation V]], it was shut down. Smogon planned to host a server on Pokémon Lab, Shoddy Battle's successor. However, [[Pokémon Online]] reached completion while Pokémon Lab was still in its beta stages, so this plan was scrapped.

=== NetBattle ===
NetBattle used to be one of the most popular competitive Pokémon battle simulators on the Internet. Smogon used to have a server on [[NetBattle]], but due to the decreasing popularity of the program, it was shut down.

Legendary Pokémon

'''Legendary Pokémon''' are a group of incredibly rare, and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

While in English, all are typically grouped under the banner of "legendary", there are three distinct terms in Japanese that are used to refer to them. One, '''伝説のポケモン''' ''densetsu no Pokémon'', literally "legendary Pokémon", refers to Pokémon such as {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}, who are featured prominently in the legends of the Pokémon world. A second, '''幻のポケモン''' ''maboroshi no Pokémon'', literally "illusory Pokémon", refers to Pokémon seen so rarely, such as {{p|Mew}}, that some question their very existence. This term was translated in the [[Generation IV]] games as "mirage Pokémon", in reference to the various [[Sinnoh myths|myths of Sinnoh]], and many consider it to refer to Pokémon that are restricted to [[Nintendo event]]s, not available during the course of normal gameplay. The third and newest term is '''神話のポケモン''' ''shinwa no Pokémon'', literally "mythical Pokémon", which refers to the Pokémon which are spoken of as the creators of the Sinnoh region.

Aside from the high [[stats]] shared by most legendary Pokémon, many of them are only available once to the {{player}} in a given save file, and to obtain another legitimately, one must [[trade]] with another game. The [[gender]] of most legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions in {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornelos}}, {{p|Voltolos}}, and {{p|Landlos}}), and all but {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}} are unable to breed in captivity, even with {{p|Ditto}}.

No legendary Pokémon is known to [[evolution|evolve]], though many are part of a [[legendary trio]] or [[legendary duo]]. Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], legendary Pokémon typically appear at the very end of 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 held in a much higher regard than in the games, with their powers seen as being almost {{wp|deity|godlike}}. They are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually the anime's main protagonist, [[Ash Ketchum]], who have a special connection to them. [[Villainous teams]] and others with bad intentions often seek them out, both due to their rarity as well as their superior power.

It has been shown that the capture of certain legendary Pokémon may lead to great catastrophe, due to their often pivotal role in nature. Some speculate, however, that if a Trainer were to "play by the rules", encountering and befriending the legendary Pokémon just the same as they would any other Pokémon, the results would not be as chaotic, if at all. This theory possibly has some weight, as {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}, while [[Lawrence III]]'s capture of {{mov|Legendary birds|Zapdos|2}} and {{mov|Legendary birds|Moltres|2}} in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' was one of intended dominance and collection instead. It should be noted, however, that Noland was never seen to have had Articuno in a Poké Ball, and at the same time, he is a rather skilled Trainer. It should also be noted that in some cases a legendary Pokémon can be kept in a Poké Ball. For example, {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} in the anime owned the three Regis in Poké Balls and trained them and there were no chaotic events that followed. [[Tobias]] is another Trainer who has been shown to have legendary Pokémon in Poké Balls. Another trainer in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] owned a {{p|Heatran}}.

Many legendary Pokémon are shown to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, while none are immortal nor invincible, as seen by the death of {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and the injury of {{an|Arceus}}. Very few, in fact, are often considered unique, with only {{an|Mewtwo}} known to be (due to the [[The Birth of Mewtwo|circumstances of its creation]]) and {{an|Arceus}}, {{an|Dialga}}, {{an|Palkia}}, and {{an|Giratina}} assumed to be, due to their role in the creation of the universe.

==List of legendary Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 48 are considered to be legendary, while several more have certain characteristics of legendary Pokémon. Each [[generation]] has introduced at least one legendary trio and one legendary duo.

===Generation I===
The legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] can be broken into two groups: the [[legendary birds]] and the Mew duo.

====Legendary birds====
[[File:Legendary birds.png|thumb|right|270px|{{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. Art 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 {{wp|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 [[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 Generation IV, they are also found [[roaming Pokémon|roaming]] [[Sinnoh]], but only in {{game|Platinum}}.

In the anime, the legendary birds appear together in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', where they rule over the islands surrounding [[Shamouti Island]]. If they are disturbed and begin to fight, only {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|2}} 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]]'', and ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up]]'' and ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]''.

====Mew duo====
[[Image:Mewtwo and Mew.png|thumb|250px|left|{{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} in [[M01|the first movie]].]]
The Mew duo, so named because of their similar genetic structure and Mewtwo's origin as an enhanced clone of Mew, are a pair of catlike Pokémon which are believed by many to be among the most rare and powerful Pokémon that exist.

In the games, {{p|Mew}} is only mentioned in years-old journals found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} on [[Cinnabar Island]]. It was the first [[event]]-exclusive Pokémon, being otherwise available only by [[Mew glitch|glitching the game]] or [[cheating]]. One is available in the wild on [[Faraway Island]], an event area in {{game|Emerald}}, the only time it is legitimately able to be caught from the wild.

Mew appears in the anime in both [[M01|the first movie]] and [[M08|the eighth movie]]. In the first, it appears to fight against Mewtwo, while in the second, its status as the Pokémon from which life began is explored.

In the games, {{p|Mewtwo}} is revealed to have been cloned from Mew in the journals in the Pokémon Mansion. Unlike most Pokémon, however, Mew gave live birth to Mewtwo, rather than laying an {{pkmn|egg}} and Mewtwo hatching from it. Mewtwo was too powerful, however, and it escapes from the Pokémon Mansion, destroying it in the process. Mewtwo then makes its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.

In the anime, {{an|Mewtwo}} was featured prominently, appearing in several episodes of the [[original series]], [[M01|the first movie]], and [[Mewtwo Returns|the first special episode]]. Mewtwo's origin is slightly different as well, with [[Team Rocket]] boss [[Giovanni]] funding a group of scientists to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Though Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, eventually, when [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and he learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, although it is a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, it and the other clones are no different than 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.

Mewtwo is known in the anime to travel around the world, traversing rooftops at night, and living its life free. It occasionally appears in anime openings, sometimes with Mew, and sometimes alone.

===Generation II===
More legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding six more for a running total of 11. The legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into three groups.

====Legendary beasts====
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|250px|{{ga|Lyra}} and [[Eusine]] discover the legendary beasts 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 reminiscent of both {{wp|canine}} and {{wp|feline}} animals, 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.

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 {{mov|Entei|Entei|3}} taking a central role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' and {{mov|Suicune|Suicune|4}} 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====
[[Image:Lugia_and_ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Lugia and Ho-Oh]]
The first [[version 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]], home of Lugia, was struck by lightning, it burned to the ground, and both flew away, Lugia 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 {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Silver Wing}}. It reaches prominence in the storyline of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, where [[XD001|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]]'', where 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, and through this, the anime revealed that legendary Pokémon could breed (this is untrue in the games, at least in captivity, likely to restrict players from getting a limitless number of them).

Ho-Oh has a much greater focus during Generation II, being named as the savior of the legendary beasts. It can be found, if the player has a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}}, atop [[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 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 at the start of [[Ash Ketchum]]'s 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.

====Celebi====
[[Image:Celebi_Shrine.png|thumb|right|100px|Celebi on its shrine in [[Ilex Forest]]]]
Although it has no relation to Mew that has been revealed, {{p|Celebi}} was dubbed the "New Mew" when it was introduced in Generation II because of their similar size and stats, as well as the status of being the last in the [[National Pokédex]] as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. Unlike Mew, however, it was not believed to be the ancestor of all Pokémon, but merely the guardian of forests, traveling through time to make sure of their purity.

In the games, Celebi is available only by event, either directly (via [[trading]] or [[Mystery Gift]]), or, in {{game|Crystal}}, through an event involving the [[GS Ball]]. This made it the first event Pokémon that was able to be captured from the wild in the games after using an event-only item, something which would continue forward even to the current generation. Celebi also makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, but it is unobtainable.

In the anime, Celebi takes a central role in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''. In the movie, one accidentally brings a young [[Professor Oak]] to the future when attempting to escape from a poacher, and is later captured in a [[Iron-Masked Marauder|Team Rocket member]]'s Dark Balls to be used to destroy the forest and rule the world. In the episode, another is attempting to heal after putting out a forest fire, and needs the help of Pokémon Ranger [[Solana]], as well as the anime's protagonists, to do so.

===Generation III===
Many more legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the ten new legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 21. At this point in the series, legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the games, with the plot of the [[villainous teams]] introduced in this generation and the next involving the reawakening of ancient legendary Pokémon for the team's own use.

====Legendary golems====
[[Image:Regis.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]
This third trio of legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, featured minimally in Hoenn-region legend. Based on the three ancient ages of humanity, the ice age, the stone age, and the iron age, the [[legendary golems]] took a back seat among the legendary Pokémon introduced in their generation, and are sometimes referred to by fans derisively as the "legendary trash cans". Truly, this legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, feature 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 golems, which is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and finally completed in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Long ago, an ancient Pokémon 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 [[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]], and [[Iron Ruins]] in [[Sinnoh]] with an event {{p|Regigigas}}.

In the anime, the three legendary golems 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====
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|220px|right|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]
Another of Hoenn's minor legendary Pokémon, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not feature a distinct legend behind them. Nonetheless, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available normally to players, 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 the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', where the two guarded the legendary city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]], who wished to steal it.

====Weather trio====
[[Image:GenIII_Battle.jpg|250px|thumb|right|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]
The trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known for their [[weather conditions|weather-related]] [[abilities]] as the [[weather trio]], serve as the [[version mascot]]s of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and represent the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to shape the land and sea, respectively, {{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 version, seek 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 awry, 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 with interference by the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.

In the anime, Groudon and Kyogre appeared in the two-part episode consisting of ''[[AG096|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG097|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, much to the chagrin of viewers. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{mov|Deoxys|Deoxys|7}}.

====Jirachi====
[[File:385Jirachi anime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Jirachi}} in the anime]]
One of the two event legendary Pokémon of Generation III, {{p|Jirachi}} is known to grant wishes written on the tags on its head each time it awakens: once every millennium.

In the games, Jirachi has never had a concrete location tied to it, and it cannot be captured from the wild legitimately. However, several direct transfers have been present in the history of the franchise, most notably in the form of a [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc|bonus disc]] released as a preview of {{g|Colosseum}} which fixes the [[Berry glitch]] present in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.

Jirachi starred in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', where it befriended [[Max]] as the group attempted to keep it away from [[Butler]], a former [[Team Magma]] operative.

====Deoxys====
[[File:386Deoxys formes.png|thumb|right|{{p|Deoxys}} in its four Formes: Attack, Normal, Defense, Speed]]
A virus from space which mutated when shot by a laser, {{p|Deoxys}} was the first legendary Pokémon known to [[Form differences|change form]], taking different forms on in each of the [[Generation III]] games - Normal Forme in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Attack Forme in {{game|FireRed}}, Defense Forme in {{game|LeafGreen}}, and Speed Forme in {{game|Emerald}}, and being able to change them at will in the [[Generation IV]] games with special meteorites found in [[Veilstone City]] and on {{rt|3|Kanto}}.

In the games, Deoxys is only available on [[Birth Island]] when the [[AuroraTicket]] is downloaded to FireRed, LeafGreen, or Emerald, though as with all event legendary Pokémon, it has also been available through direct download via [[Mystery Gift]].

Deoxys featured heavily in the seventh Pokémon movie, ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where its Attack and Defense Formes were first revealed. One of the two {{mov|Deoxys|Deoxys|7}} featured befriends a boy named [[Tory Lund]], who fears Pokémon otherwise and does not realize what Deoxys is, while the other seeks out the first, concerned for its safety. Another Deoxys featured in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'', where Deoxys's Speed Forme debuted in the anime.

===Generation IV===
Fourteen more legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation IV]], the most of any generation so far, bringing the total to a whopping 35. Many of the legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-League sidequests for the player to go on. Seven of the 14 introduced, even, are not in Sinnoh's regional Pokédex, appearing only in the National Dex, a first for any Pokémon.

Prior to Generation IV, 680 had been the limit on a legendary Pokémon's [[base stat]] total: this limit was set by {{p|Mewtwo}} in [[Generation I]] and was only matched - never surpassed - in Generation II and Generation III. As of Generation IV, however, the most powerful of all Pokémon in terms of base stats is no longer Mewtwo or any of its equals, but {{p|Arceus}}, the supposed creator of the Pokémon universe.

====Lake guardians====
[[File:Mesprit Azelf Uxie anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} together]]
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]], respectively, 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 toward 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}}, respectively. 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====
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.jpg|180px|thumb|right|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The legendary creators of the Pokémon universe, the [[Creation trio]] consisting of {{p|Dialga}} of time, {{p|Palkia}} of space, and {{p|Giratina}} of antimatter, are, like the weather trio before them, 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 thing he hates about humanity. At [[Spear Pillar]], one of the two will be able to be captured in Diamond and Pearl, depending on the game, 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, {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}} appeared together, fighting, in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', while Dialga and {{an|Giratina}} appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. The three appeared together, finally, in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Dialga and Palkia were also summoned at 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.

====Lunar duo====
[[File:Darkrai-Newmoon Island.png|thumb|left|{{p|Darkrai}} on [[Newmoon Island]]]]
A sidequest legendary Pokémon and an event legendary Pokémon, respectively, {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Darkrai}} represent two phases of the moon with opposite connotations: Darkrai represents the {{wp|new moon}}, the cause of the darkest nights and bringer of nightmares, while Cresselia 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}} Eldrich's son of a nightmare. It will flee immediately, roaming Sinnoh and leaving behind a [[Lunar Wing]], which will heal the boy. Darkrai is found on [[Newmoon Island]], accessible only with a [[Member Card]], and can only be obtained through an event.

The lunar duo made their debuts separately, with a {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} appearing in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', attempting to stop Dialga and Palkia's fight from destroying its home, [[Alamos Town]], and protecting [[Alice]], its friend. Cresselia first appeared in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle]]'', where it fought briefly against a Darkrai.

====Sea guardians====
[[File:Manaphyphione.png|thumb|right|{{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}]]
The sea guardian Pokémon are a legendary duo that, like Mewtwo and Mew, is comprised of a parent and child. {{p|Manaphy}}, a legendary Pokémon that makes its home in warmer seas south of the known regions, bears {{p|Phione}} when bred in captivity in the known regions.

In the games, Manaphy can only be found through an event: either it may be transferred in its egg from one of the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger}} games after activating an event in those games, or can be directly received via various Mystery Gift events. Like Jirachi, it cannot be legitimately found in the wild. Phione, of course, must be bred from a Manaphy and a {{p|Ditto}}, making it the only legendary Pokémon available only through this method.

In the anime, Manaphy debuted in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', where, like in the games, it first appeared as an egg, and befriended {{an|May}}, who it regarded as its mother. It was the only Pokémon able to find the mysterious Temple of the Sea, [[Samiya]], and was regarded as the Prince of the Sea. For this, it was sought by [[the Phantom]], a pirate who wished to take the jewels of the Sea Crown deep in Samiya. Phione debuted under different circumstances, being found in [[Chocovine Town]] in ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]'', where they were revered as bringers of good luck.

Phione is disputed by many in its status as a legendary Pokémon, as its base stat total is lower than all other legendary Pokémon, while its availability compared to others is legitimately high, being able to be bred from a Ditto with either Manaphy or Phione as many times as a player would like. Even official sources have not been consistent, with [[Pokémon.com]] changing its status repeatedly, and official guidebooks alternately naming it as legendary or not. For all intents and purposes, it is regarded by Bulbapedia to not be legendary due to the latest official source.

====Heatran====
[[File:Heatran anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Heatran}} in the anime]]
{{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of all volcanic activity, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], where it was said to have been born at the same time as Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina created Sinnoh at [[Spear Pillar]] and created the [[Battle Zone]]. Heatran is the first, and currently 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:Regigigasanime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]
{{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[legendary golems]], having created them in ancient times.

In the games, Regigigas is found at [[Snowpoint Temple]], though it will not awaken unless all three of the legendary golems are in the player's party.

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

====Shaymin====
[[File:Seabreak path.png|thumb|right|{{p|Shaymin}} running down [[Seabreak Path]]]]
A legendary Pokémon that has the ability to purify areas instantly and bring plant life in abundance, {{p|Shaymin}} is referred to as the Mew of Generation IV. Unlike previous event legendary Pokémon with its straight-100 base stats, however, Shaymin has the ability to change forms, between Land Forme and Sky Forme.

In the games, like Darkrai, Shaymin is catchable in the wild after an event item has been obtained: this time [[Oak's Letter]], which requests the player's help on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}. After giving thanks to someone or something, Shaymin will appear, and will be available to be caught at the end of the [[Seabreak Path]] that appears, in the [[Flower Paradise]].

Shaymin has a central role in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', when it, as well as its Sky Forme, were officially revealed. It also has a minor role in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]'' involving [[Marley]].

====Arceus====
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|{{p|Arceus}} creates a Pokémon egg for {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}}]]
The final Pokémon of Generation IV and the most powerful known so far, {{p|Arceus}} is, according to legend, the creator of the Pokémon universe. Born of an egg in the chaos at the beginning, Arceus's powers were awakened immediately, and from itself it made time and space, matter and antimatter, and set {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} to guard them. It created spirit as well, setting {{p|Uxie}} in charge of knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} in charge of emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} in charge of willpower, before falling into an eternal slumber.

Arceus can be awoken from its sleep using an [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]], which will open a staircase to its home, the [[Hall of Origin]]. There it can be captured, though no legitimate way of obtaining the Azure Flute has yet been released.

In the anime, {{an|Arceus}} starred in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', where it set out to destroy [[Michina]] and its people for their betrayal in ancient times. After changing history with the help of Dialga, Ash and his friends revealed to Arceus the true nature of human beings, and it left Michina in peace.

===Generation V===
Thirteen additional legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation V]], the second largest addition to the ranks (one lower than [[Generation IV]]), totaling 48 legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of Black & White, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the endgame. The rest of the Pokémon mattered little to the narrative progression and some are still unavailable legitimately, waiting instead on future events to unlock their existence.

====Victini====
{{p|Victini}} is found at the beginning of [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova's Pokédex]], being #000. Much like {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, each of its base stats are 100. It is the first [[Generation V]] [[event Pokémon]] revealed and allowed to be obtained. Victini is considered the embodiment of victory. It is said that a Trainer with a Victini will win anything no matter what. Victini is the future star of [[M14|''Victini and the Black Hero'']]

====Musketeer trio====
{{p|Cobalon}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Pokémon based on the titular characters of the 1844 French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'', and partially on hooved mammals such as deer, oxen, 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}} who 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 signature move, {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}).

====Kami trio====
{{p|Voltolos}}, {{p|Tornelos}}, and {{p|Landlos}} are a trio of Pokémon based on Japanese deities; Fujin, god of wind, Raijin, god of thunder and lightning, and Inari, a fertility god. Together the three represent the heavens and the nourishing effect the sky has upon the earth.

====Tao trio====
[[File:Reshiram Zekrom anime.png|thumb|280px|Reshiram and Zekrom]]
{{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} represent Yin and Yang, and balance. Originally, they were a single dragon that helped found the Unova region's nation. But fighting between the two brothers that founded the nation split them into two halves that constantly conflict with each other.

It is widely speculated that {{p|Kyurem}} is related to Zekrom and Reshiram due to reasons such as their types and names, in the same way Giratina turned out to be closely related to Dialga and Palkia.

====Meloetta====
{{p|Meloetta}} represents music and dance. Meloetta is similar to the Greek idea of a Muse, a goddess of creativity and inspiration.

====Genesect====
{{p|Genesect}} is an experimental creature created by Team Plasma, under [[N]], attempting to create the strongest Pokémon in existence by altering an ancient insect Pokémon with cybernetic upgrades. It uses special cassettes to make variations to its signature move, {{m|Techno Buster}}.

==Trivia==
* In all but one of the games, there appears to only be one of every legendary Pokémon, but in the {{pkmn|anime}}, there is more than one of most legendary Pokémon. This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the {{player}} to only ever happen to meet one of them canonically, and in fact there are others elsewhere which the player does not encounter.
** This may be supported by the possibility of acquiring eggs of {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and {{p|Manaphy}} in the [[Generation IV]] games.
* Each generation has introduced at least one {{type2|Psychic}} legendary Pokémon and one {{type2|Flying}} legendary Pokémon, though the only Flying-type legendary Pokémon in Generation IV gain this type only in an alternate form.
* 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 who have had their names changed outside of Japan (currently six: the [[legendary birds]] and the [[lake guardians]]).
* As of [[Generation V]], aside from {{p|Arceus}}'s use of [[Plates]], there has never been a {{type|Poison}} legendary Pokémon.
* Only {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other. {{p|Mew}} has its own battle theme; however, it is a remixed version of the normal [[Kanto]] wild battle theme.
* The legendary birds of Kanto are the most available wild legendary Pokémon, able to be caught in nine main series games each ({{v2|Red and Green}}, {{v|Blue}}, {{v|Yellow}}, {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen}}, {{v|Platinum|}}, {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}). The least available wild legendary Pokémon are {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}, which only appear in the wild in one game apiece; each encounter requires an [[event item]] to activate it. {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Darkrai}} may also count, as the event items for the two, though existent in the games' coding, were not released to players of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, with the Mystery Gift events only available for players of {{v2|Platinum}}.

footnotes=''Electric Soldier Porygon'' is the most commonly used translation: no known official English title exists for this episode.}}
(Japanese: '''でんのうせんしポリゴン''' ''Computer Soldier Porygon'', commonly ''Electric Soldier Porygon''; no known English title) is a somewhat notorious episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], due to the fact that on its single airing in Japan on December 16, 1997, nearly seven hundred Japanese children suffered seizures, vomiting, irritated eyes and other symptoms due to a flashing strobe effect.

The episode was never commercially released or re-broadcast anywhere in the world due to it being banned by the Japanese government.

The scene which caused the seizures was a fifteen-second section in which {{AP|Pikachu}} used an {{t|Electric}} attack on some vaccine missiles. The explosion was shown as a bright flashing object which alternated rapidly between red and blue.

The seizures caused by this episode caused [[Oriental Light and Magic|OLM]] to drop the strobe effects from Pikachu's electric attacks. Also, a disclaimer is now broadcast at the beginning of japanese television shows precautioning viewers to not sit too close to the television screen and watch it only in a brightly lit room. (テレビアニメを見るときには、部屋をあかるくして近づきすぎないようにしてみてくださいね。)

Also, this episode gained Pokémon the dubious title of "Most Seizures Caused by an Animated Television Program" from The Guinness Book of World Records.


{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
The episode begins with {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} going to a [[Pokémon Center]] in order to revive Ash's tired {{AP|Pikachu}} when they see a distressed [[Nurse Joy]]. There's a problem with the [[Poké Ball]] {{pkmn|storage system|transporter}} — the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} she sends never arrives at another Pokémon Center, and it's replaced by a different Pokémon!

[[Dr. Akihabara]], the inventor of the Pokémon Transport System, is at the Center trying to figure out what went wrong with the system. Brock suggests that a {{wp|computer virus}} could be the source of the problem. Akihabara explains that the system couldn't have been infected with a virus because he designed the circuits so well. Ash confuses his explanation of a computer virus with a biological one and thinks the transport system is actually sick. Nurse Joy is told about an Anti-Virus vaccine, which is a powerful device made to fix the problem. However, upon further investigation into the system, Akihabara unexpectedly gasps and suddenly bolts out of the Center, leaving Joy and the others confused.

Ash, Misty, and Brock break into Akihabara's huge laboratory mansion to figure out what happened to him. Inside, they are startled by a giant holographic image of Akihabara's head. After realizing Akihabara is still friendly, he leads them into a room with a giant machine. The doctor orders them to enter the machine, only telling them that they have entered a giant Human Transporter after he has sealed and locked the door. It is at that time that {{p|Porygon}} appears in the midst of them. Akihabara introduces Porygon to the group and explains that some thieves, namely [[Team Rocket]], have stolen his other prototype Porygon, and are causing havoc. Team Rocket is literally inside the system, blocking the Poké Balls from reaching the Centers and keeping them for themselves. Akihabara can't send the anti-virus vaccine in there because humans are inside the computer, and the vaccine would surely blow them to pieces. So, Akihabara's solution is to send Ash and co. into the machine with Porygon to defeat Team Rocket. Ash and his friends refuse, but Akihabara traps them inside the Human Transporter and they are eventually sucked into cyberspace.

The group falls into the Transporter system, but Porygon flies beneath them, grows size and catches them. Riding on Porygon's back, Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu ride over to Team Rocket's location.

Team Rocket are celebrating their so-far successful raid of Pokémon, confident that since they are where no human has gone before. Just as Team Rocket claims that no one can catch them, Porygon floats into view, infuriating {{MTR}}. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] send {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}} into {{pkmn|battle}}. Weezing uses {{m|Poison Gas}} on them, making Ash and co. cough. Then Porygon regains composure and uses {{m|Conversion}}. Porygon's skin color becomes purple, like Weezing's. Porygon charges, with the group still riding it, right into Weezing and Arbok, [[fainting|knocking them out]] of battle.

Team Rocket decides to send their prototype {{p|Porygon}} out next, which looks similar to Akihabara's Porygon except that it bears a "R" flag on its tail and a zero on its forehead. Team Rocket's Porygon uses {{m|Sharpen}} to give itself a swordlike beak and tries to attack the other Porygon, who has also changed shape to counter it. Ash and company decide to capitalize on the distraction to move the barrier Team Rocket built to hold back all the Poké Balls that were intended to be delivered to the Pokémon Centers. Team's Rocket's attempt to stop them were stopped by {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|ThunderShock}} yet again, then Akihabara's Porygon sent Team Rocket and the prototype Porygon blasting off again.

Ash and co. weren't out of the woods yet. Akihabara, represented by a floating TV screen, tells them that trouble is afoot again. Nurse Joy has hired another technician to put the anti-virus vaccine program into the computer, and it indiscriminately targets Team Rocket ''and'' Ash and his friends. In all his haste, the doctor forgot to tell Joy that the problem was caused by real people, not a virus. As the Vaccine targets the heroes, Porygon gathers Ash and co. back into the air and attempt to escape. From the ground, Team Rocket call Ash out for running away, but are corrected by Ash when he tells them to run from the Vaccine. The Vaccine launches a few rockets that destroy the remainder of the Poké Ball barrier in sparkly, flashing red and blue explosions. Meowth and the prototype Porygon rescue a panicking Jessie and James from the moving sea of Poké Balls and join Akihabara's Porygon in an attempt to escape.

The vaccine transforms into an object that resembles a flying spaceship, looking like a cross between a {{wp|Star Wars}} {{wp|X-wing}} and a {{wp|Syringe|medical needle}}, and takes to the air in pursuit. It launches more missiles that both of the Porygon dodge with difficulty. Inside the Center, Nurse Joy and the technician are amazed by the resilience of the "virus" and command the Vaccine to unleash a powerful attack. Revealing a gigantic particle gun, it locks onto the prototype Porygon and fires a huge beam, sending Team Rocket downward into a cyberspace bug hole created by the powerful attack. The passengers of Akihabara's Porygon shield their eyes from the blinding red and blue light. The bug holes created by the vaccine's beam cause a system error, and Joy orders the technician not to use the attack again.

Team Rocket awakens at the bottom of one of the bug pits, and realize that their Porygon is knocked out and that they cannot escape. The flying Vaccine locks onto them again, and it seems that it's all over for Team Rocket if it wasn't for a last minute save by {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Held onto Akihabara's Porygon by Bulbasaur, Team Rocket weighs Porygon down and slows down its progress toward the exit portal. The vaccine locks onto Akihabara's Porygon, and fires four more missiles. Porygon is tired and cannot dodge the missiles.

Pikachu steps in and launches a destructive electric attack, detonating the missiles in a huge red and blue flashing explosion that covers the entire screen. It buys Porygon just enough time for it to escape through the exit portal as the next set of missiles hit the portal itself, destroying Akihabara's entire house.

In the remains of the mansion, Ash and co. are relieved to be back in the real world. Team Rocket spitefully thank Ash for saving them, and then quickly exit, forgetting their prototype Porygon.

The heroes decide to check in on the Pokémon Center. Nurse Joy is relieved to see the Transport system working again, oblivious to the fact that Ash and co. risked their lives to fix the system. In the end, however, Ash decides not to tell Joy.

==Trivia==
* ''[[Fantasy in My Pocket]]'' replaced ''[[Meowth's Song]]'' as the ending.
* Akihabara, the name of the professor, is also the name of a {{wp|Akihabara|famous electronics district}} in {{wp|Tokyo}}.
* The seizures caused from this episode were parodied by ''The Simpsons'' in the episode "{{wp|Thirty Minutes over Tokyo}}" and ''South Park'' in the episode "{{wp|Chinpokomon}}".
* There was originally going to be a New Year's Eve episode of Pokémon. It was never shown, not even in Japan. ''Electric Soldier Porygon'' is to blame for this.
* After the hiatus, the time slot changed from Tuesday to Thursday. The original schedule was as follows:

{{Rescheduled episodes‎}}

* The incident also caused ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' and ''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]'' to be rescheduled from March 3 and May 5, 1998, respectively, to July 9, 1998.
* Before the series restarted, a special report was aired on April 11, 1998 titled 検証番組アニメ　ポケットモンスター問題検証報告 ''Inspection program: inspection report of the anime Pocket Monsters problem''.
* Despite {{AP|Pikachu}} being the one to launch the seizure causing attack, {{p|Porygon}} has never had an important role in another episode since. (It should be noted that Pikachu has appeared in every Pokémon episode to date, barring [[Pokémon Chronicles]]). Its evolved form, {{p|Porygon2}}, is the only one out of the one hundred [[Generation II]] Pokémon that hasn't appeared in the anime and many believe that it never will. Also, Porygon's final form, {{p|Porygon-Z}}, has never appeared either, and Porygon-Z is currently the only [[Generation IV]] Pokémon that hasn't appeared in the anime or movies. Porygon has appeared in the first four films as cameos however.
===Errors===
* When everyone first arrives back in the real world, Porygon is seemingly floating in mid-air above Misty's head; however, one cut later, it is between Misty and Brock.
*It shows the same scene before and after the last cut. The reason is unknown.

===Dub edits===
* According to [[Maddie Blaustein]], [[4Kids Entertainment]] did in fact dub this episode, reducing the speed and intensity of the flashing explosion to make it safe, but the episode has still never been shown because of the worldwide ban placed on it by the Japanese government.

==In other languages==
* Following the results of the Japanese premiere, this episode has never aired anywhere else in the world.

I thought I knew what I was talking about too when I said it was alright to start doing that whole disambiguation thing.

'''Smogon University''', commonly shortened to '''Smogon''', is a website whose content encompass competitive [[Pokémon]] [[Pokémon battle|battling]]. It offers guides on battling strategies for people of different Pokémon knowledge backgrounds. The website was founded by 'chaos' (one of the developers of [[NetBattle]]) and is a considerably well-known website, visited by competitive Pokémon battling enthusiasts.

The Smogon motto is "Pokémon on the Internet: Let's make it happen" and their mascot is the Pokémon {{p|Koffing}}, the name Smogon itself being the German moniker for this Pokémon.

== Site ==
=== Website ===
The official website contains various articles and information about competitive Pokémon battling.
=== Forums ===
The forums has over 30,000 members and several sections, one of which is for [[Shoddy Battle]] discussion and support due to a recent affiliation with [[Shoddy Battle]] itself. Residents of the Smogon forums are referred to as "Smogoneers" or "Smogonites".

=== IRC ===
Smogon operates several IRC channels on irc.synirc.net, the most important being #dreamworld for Pokémon centric discussion and #smogon as the more general channel.

== Competitive Battling ==
The term 'competitive battling' within Pokémon refers to battling against other human players using either Wifi Battling via the Nintendo DS, the downloadable programs <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.shoddybattle.com Shoddy Battle]</span> and <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.netbattle.net NetBattle]</span> or any of a number of battle simulating bots, usually found on {{wp|IRC}}. Both of these are online simulations of Pokémon games, where one may build a team of Pokémon with relative ease. Experienced players, 24-hour servers, diverse communities and an opportunity to test out strategies are just a few advantages of online battling, but perhaps the most vital advantage is battling against sentient players rather than {{wp|artificial intelligence|AI}} - which requires a significant amount more intelligence and strategy to succeed.

=== Shoddy Battle ===
[[Shoddy Battle]] is a application for competitive Pokémon battling. Due to its increasing popularity, Smogon runs a dedicated Shoddy Battle server, and in recent times, have affiliated with Shoddy Battle itself.

=== NetBattle ===
NetBattle used to be one of the most popular competitive Pokémon battle simulators on the Internet. Smogon used to have a server on [[NetBattle]], but due to the decreasing popularity of the program, it was shut down.

=== Pokemon Online ===
In November 21, 2010, Smogon released its official [[Pokemon Online]] server.

'''Celebi''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''セレビィ''' ''Celebi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Grass}} [[legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. It serves as the guardian of [[Ilex Forest]], and is only able to be caught from the wild in {{game|Crystal}} with an event activated by the [[GS Ball]].

Celebi is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], although in the latter, Celebi is not shown.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Celebi is a green fairy-like creature. Celebi has round toe-less feet, three-fingered hands, and clear wings on its back. Celebi has a round head that comes to a point and sticks upward in the back. It has large baby-blue eyes, similar to that of {{p|Mew}}, with thick black rings around them, and a pair of green antennae that are tipped blue.

====Gender differences====
Celebi is genderless, but a {{pkmn2|shiny}} one is referred to as female in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].

====Special abilities====
Celebi's main ability is the power to travel through time. Celebi also can restore plants to perfect health (an ability that is also accredited to {{p|Meganium}}). Celebi mainly attacks with surprisingly powerful {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Psychic}} attacks.

===Behavior===
Celebi, like {{p|Mew}}, is a very playful species in general. Celebi are extremely powerful despite their small size, another trait they have in common with Mew. Celebi also can be very timid, not wanting to show themselves despite their power. Although multiple Celebi have been seen at one time, it is unknown if they are different individuals or the same Celebi from different time periods. Therefore, it is virtually impossible to determine exactly how many Celebi exist. Celebi also is very protective of itself, others and its home. For this reason, it has been referred to by some as a guardian of the forest. Celebi has also been shown to have the power of bringing the dead back to life.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Because Celebi travels through time, it may inhabit many places. However, Celebi is generally associated with forests. Because of this, it is known as the spirit and voice of the forest.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Celebi feed on berries.

==In the anime==
[[File:Celebi anime.png|right|thumb|250px|Celebi in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Celebi (movie 4)]]====
Celebi first appeared in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. A Pokémon hunter was after it and Celebi traveled 40 years into future to escape from him, taking young [[Sam]] along with it accidentally. The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] eventually captured the time traveling Pokémon in a [[Dark Ball]] and used it to destroy the forest. {{Ash}} and Sammy managed to snap Celebi out of the Iron Masked Marauder's control.

====[[Celebi (movie 13)]]====
Celebi appeared in a central role again in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. [[Grings Kodai]] was after the Pokémon in order to restore his ability to see the future, which he got on a previous encounter with it.

====Other====
Celebi also made an appearance in [[Pokémon Chronicles]]. In ''[[SS013|Celebi and Joy]]'', Celebi took [[Ritchie]] back in time to help stop the destruction of a [[Pokémon Center]].

In ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]'', the Pokémon Ranger [[Solana]] accompanied {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} in helping the Pokémon.

===Minor appearances===
A Celebi appeared in the [[boss fantasy]] of ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]''.

Celebi makes a cameo appearance in the beginning of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

A Celebi appeared in another fantasy in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Pryce]] aimed to capture Celebi and use its time-traveling powers to save his two {{p|Lapras}}, which he had lost years ago prior to the start of the GSC saga. He failed numerous times throughout his reign (lacking a [[GS Ball]] that would allow him to properly capture it), and would injure himself on each day of the month in which Celebi would show itself in the Ilex shrine, so {{adv|Green}} and {{adv|Silver}} took this opportunity to steal his [[Rainbow Wing]] and [[Silver Wing]] items and escape.

Near the end of the RS Saga, {{adv|Ruby}} is revealed to have a Celebi. He explains that due to the lack of information he had on it, he rarely uses Celebi at all. Celebi was used to retrieve the Red and Blue Orbs from [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]], to prevent them from ever controlling {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} again. Then, it revived [[Norman]], [[Steven Stone|Steven]], and [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] by sending them through an altered future. It left Ruby's side right afterwards, and upon waking up two days later and glancing into the now-empty Poké Ball that once contained the time-traveling Pokémon, Ruby realizes that this was the reason Celebi was with him the whole time.

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Celebi.png|220px|right|thumb|Celebi in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When a [[Poké Ball]] is thrown, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Celebi appearing after all these requirements have been fulfilled:
*Unlock all 25 characters
*Unlock all 29 stages
*Beat all 51 events
*Unlock the score display (by reaching 5000 KOs)

It does not affect the battle but the thrower of the [[Poké Ball]] will earn a bonus and trophy of Celebi.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
When a [[Poké Ball]] is thrown, there is a 1 in 493 chance of Celebi appearing. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops trophies.

==Trivia==
* Celebi is the mascot of [[Serebii.net]].
* Celebi was the only Pokémon of the 100 [[Generation II]] Pokémon that wasn't used in [[Pokérap GS]].
** However, it was used in the [[Hoenn Pokérap]] along with Mew, another Pokémon that wasn't used in its own generation's Pokérap.
* In a deleted scene of the movie ''{{wp|Austin Powers in Goldmember}},'' a person in a Celebi suit can be seen dancing.
* Celebi is notably the hardest Pokémon to obtain, as there are very few ways to legitimately obtain one outside of Japan.
* Celebi has the most weaknesses of all Pokémon, with seven. It shares this with {{p|Exeggcute}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, {{p|Snover}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}}, all of which are part {{type2|Grass}}.
* Unlike most [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]], Celebi needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to level 100, whereas others need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
** Coincidentally, the three of them all have base 100 stats.
* During the main story of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], {{mdc|Celebi|2}} is referred to as a female, while it is genderless in the main series.
* A 2008 [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points interview] done with [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] by the webmaster of [[PokéBeach]] revealed that the [[GS Ball]] was initially meant to contain a Celebi that would be used in a story arc throughout the Johto series. This idea, however, was shelved, and {{OBP|Celebi|movie 4}} became a co-star of ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' with {{p|Suicune}}.
* Celebi's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex]] are the same: 251. This makes it one of sixteen Pokémon to have the same numbers in more than one [[Pokédex]]-like listing. The other fourteen are all members of the {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Ralts}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, and {{p|Beldum}} evolutionary families and the [[legendary beasts]].

===Origin===
Celebi has a natural theme.<ref>http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/ 2010/7/12</ref> Celebi might be related to nature worship of Shintoism. It may be based on a {{wp|fairy}}, {{wp|dryad}}, or the {{wp|Kodama (spirit)|kodama}}. Its fierce protectiveness for its forest home resembles that of of the {{wp|Curupira}}. It may have been based on the Dr. Seuss story, ''{{wp|The Lorax}}''. The story is about a small creature, known as the Lorax, who spoke for the trees and tried to protect them as well as the environment from being destroyed by industrialization.

====Name origin====
There are many theories as to the origin of Celebi's name. It may be a combination of ''{{wp|celestial}}'' and ''being'', or it may be a combination of the English ''serenity'' and the Japanese ''bii'', which translates to ''beautiful''.There is also the possibility its name originates from "cerebral", referring to its psychic powers. It may have orginated from from earth goddess ''{{wp|Cybele}}''.

'''Shaymin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シェイミ''' ''Shaymin'') is a {{type2|Grass}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It was not officially revealed until February of 2008, when it was listed as a star of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In early June of the same year, its Sky Forme was revealed, which takes on the {{type2|Flying}} as a secondary type.

It is not known to evolve into or from another Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Shaymin Gracideas anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Shaymin and Gracideas]]
Shaymin is a small, hedgehog-like creature. Its body is pure white. Its back is covered with green fur and has a pink flower with two leaves on each side of its head, which resembles the {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} flower, several Gracidea-like flowers also appear on its back whenever it feels comfortable, but when it senses an impending danger, it rapidly hides it back. Its legs are short and its underside is plump. Shaymin is the smallest legendary Pokémon to date. According to the Pokédex height of 0'08", it is also among the smallest Pokémon in existence, with its comrades being {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Natu}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Budew}}, {{p|Burmy}}, and {{p|Chingling}}.
[[File:Shaymin revert.png|250px|thumb|{{mov|Shaymin|Shaymin|11}} reverting back at night and in the cold]]
As first revealed by Japan's [[CoroCoro]] Magazine, Shaymin has [[Form differences#Shaymin|two forms]]. The first (Land Forme) is the original form seen in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The second is the Sky Forme which debuted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. Shaymin will change into Sky Forme and back if it touches a {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}}. Shaymin can't be in this form at night or if it has [[Status ailment#Freeze|contact with ice]]. Shaymin's Sky Forme has a canid-like appearance that also bears some resemblance to a small reindeer. It has a small, slender body. The fur on its back appears to have shifted into a mohawk; it has a red flower petal on the right side of its neck, looking like a scarf or cape, and flat, white ears that look like wings or antlers. It has a small ruff on the front of its neck and a stumpy tail.

====Gender differences====
Shaymin is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Shaymin have the ability to instantly purify any polluted area of all unclean things in the air and transform it into a lush field of flowers. They take in the polluted air, purify it inside their bodies, break it down into water and light, and release the purified substance in a violent, explosive burst. This ability is known as {{m|Seed Flare}}, their [[signature move]]. Its power varies on the type of pollution absorbed. Shaymin can also communicate with telepathy and sense the gratitude of others, hence its species classification, the ''Gratitude Pokémon''.

===Behavior===
[[File:Shaymin curled up.png|right|thumb|230px|Shaymin curled up]]
Shaymin have a habitual trait called "Flower Bearing." Each season, Shaymin gather in a flower field somewhere and migrate from there. This behavior is called Flower Carrying because a new field of flowers grow where they land. Shaymin are also attracted to areas where there is a lot of gratitude. Their personalities are almost opposite with each form — Land Forme is shy and easily scared, while Sky Forme is courageous and playful.

===Habitat===
Shaymin live in fields of flowers. Since a Shaymin camouflages by {{m|Defense Curl|curling itself up}}, it can easily escape people's notice, similar to {{p|Geodude}} on rocky terrain.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', Shaymin is seen liking sweet food such as [[Poffin]]s and pancakes. In Platinum, when caught at the [[Flower Paradise]], Shaymin have been observed to hold the [[Lum Berry]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Shaymin {{#switch: {{#time: G}}|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19=Sky|Land}} anime.png|thumb|250px|Shaymin in the anime]]
{{mov|Shaymin|Shaymin|11}} made its debut in the 11th [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it was fleeing from Giratina, after enraging it in the [[Reverse World]]. Shaymin thought that Giratina wanted to eat it. It premiered both of its forms in the movie. Shaymin also makes a minor appearance in Arceus and the Jewel of Life's credits where it stands gazing upon the land on a tree.

Shaymin made its debut anime appearance in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Shaymin ties with {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}} for the highest [[catch rate]] among all [[legendary Pokémon]].
* Like {{p|Darkrai}}, despite being an event-exclusive legendary Pokémon, both the [[Surf glitch]] and [[tweaking]] are able to allow the player to access the [[Flower Paradise]] without the event having been activated.
** This has been rectified in {{game|Platinum}}, as neither Pokémon will appear without the event, even if the player manages to access their area.
* Land Forme Shaymin is the first and, as of [[Generation V]], the only pure Grass-type legendary Pokémon.
* Although Shaymin is a legendary Pokémon, normal wild Pokémon battle music plays while battling it. It shares this trait with {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{p|Latios}}.
** Out of the four Pokémon listed above, Shaymin is also the only one who is genderless.
* Shaymin is implied to be behind the creation of [[Floaroma Town]], as one person notes it was a barren wasteland until one day flowers mysteriously covered it all after someone gave thanks for life's blessings. Additionally, the woman who gives the {{player}} a {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} flower can be found in Floaroma Town.
* [[Marley]] makes brief references to Shaymin in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} if spoken with during the player's travel with her in {{si|Victory Road}}. She wants to reach the smooth rock on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}. Additionally, If a Shaymin is in the player's party, she will take notice.
* Shaymin seems to appear only when someone gives thanks for a significant blessing in their life. A girl in [[Floaroma Town]] states that the flowers the town is famous for appeared after someone gave thanks for nature's blessings. With [[Oak's Letter]], Shaymin will lead the player to [[Flower Paradise]] after they give thanks for their Pokémon journey at the white rock on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}.
* Unlike most [[legendary Pokémon]], Shaymin needs only 1,059,860 [[Experience]] to get to level 100, whereas others need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}}.
** Coincidentally, the three of them are all Psychic-type and have base 100 stats.
* Shaymin's Sky Forme has a different [[cry]] than its Land Forme, making Shaymin the first Pokémon to have different cries for different forms, and the first Pokémon to change its cry since the [[player character]]'s {{p|Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}}.
** Despite this, the only cry used in [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]] is the one of its Land Forme.
** Due to the Pokédex only registering the first forme's cry, it is impossible to listen to the Sky Forme's cry on it. This is because Shaymin traded in their Sky Forme revert to Land Forme, and wild Shaymin are always in their Land Forme. Also, Pokémon battled between players are not registered in the Pokédex, meaning that it is impossible to register a Sky Forme Shaymin before the Land Forme. It shares this trait with [[Red's Pikachu (game)|the starter Pikachu]] in Pokémon Yellow.
* Shaymin is one of two legendary Pokémon capable of using the [[Appendix:F.E.A.R.|F.E.A.R.]] strategy (the other is {{p|Mew}}).
* In Sky Forme, Shaymin is the only legendary Flying-type Pokémon weak to Flying-type attacks.
* Shaymin is one of two Pokémon whose ability changes depending on its form, the other being {{p|Giratina}}.
* Shaymin is tied with {{p|Celebi}} for highest [[base stat total]] of all {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.
* A Shaymin caught at the Flower Paradise in {{game|Platinum}} will be a [[fateful encounter]] Pokémon, making it the only Pokémon able to be caught from the wild that has this status. This is to allow it to transform into Sky Forme, as non-fateful Shaymin cannot transform.
** This may be part of the reason why [[Oak's Letter]] was never released for distribution to Diamond and Pearl, as the Shaymin in those games, even if it is caught legitimately, will not be a fateful encounter Shaymin and thus not be able to transform. The reasoning behind disallowing this, of course, was to disallow those who had [[cheating|cheated]] to get Shaymin and those who used the [[Surf glitch]] and [[tweaking]] to do so from obtaining the otherwise-special Sky Forme Shaymin.
*Sky Forme Shaymin has the highest base Speed of all Grass-types.
*Fans have nicknamed Shaymin's Sky Forme 'Skymin'.
* Land Forme Shaymin is the shortest legendary Pokémon.

===Origin===
Shaymin is based on a {{wp|hedgehog}}. However, its white body and the grass-like fur on its back makes it somewhat resemble a {{wp|Chia Pet}} as well. Moreover, when Shaymin (Land Forme) blooms with flowers, as seen in the anime, Shaymin appears as a bouquet of flowers, which serves to emphasize Shaymin's role as the Gratitude Pokémon. On the other hand, Shaymin's Sky Forme shares most of its traits with a small, young {{wp|terrier}}-type dog, but its sprightly behavior, its affinity for flowers, and its ability to fly bring to mind {{wp|fairy|faeries}}. Shaymin's Sky Forme has a few aspects that resemble that of a {{wp|reindeer}} as well.

====Name origin====
Its name is possibly a combination of the Chinese 謝 ''xiè'' (thanks/gratitude) or ジェイド ''jeido'' (jade), which is one of Shaymin's most dominant colors, and 蝟 ''harinezu'''mi''''' (hedgehog). Its name could also be a combination of ''shay'' and ''vitamin''. Also, shaman can be pronounced like Shaymin, so it may be like a mythical shaman. In addition, the name Shaymin may be a corruption of the Hebrew word Shamayim, which means "sky" and is the name of the first heaven in Jewish mysticism. This correlates directly with Shaymin's Sky Forme.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Shaymin
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Shaymin
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 쉐이미 ''Sheimi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 潔咪 ''Jié Mī'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name. 潔 also means clean, referring to Shaymin's ability to purify the surrounding.

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

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

Mew is notable for its ability to learn every [[TM|Technical Machine]], [[HM|Hidden Machine]] and [[move tutor]] move (except {{m|Draco Meteor}}, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, {{m|Grass Oath}}, {{m|Fire Oath}} and {{m|Water Oath}}), unique amongst all known Pokémon.

Mew is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mew is normally described as a pink cat-like creature, though its morphology is actually more like a {{wp|jerboa}}. Mew's hair is so fine and thin, it can only be seen under a microscope. It has a long, skinny tail. Mew has big hind legs, like a {{wp|rabbit}}, and short arms with three-fingered paws. Mew has triangle-shaped ears and baby-blue eyes. Mew is said to have the {{wp|DNA}} of every single Pokémon contained within its body. It also vaguely resembles an embryo or fetus, and is often depicted in a pink orb.
====Gender differences====
Mew is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Mew's main abilities include turning invisible at will (similar to {{p|Rotom}}), creating force-fields of psychic energy and being able to {{m|transform}} into any one of the other 648 species of Pokémon. Mew is capable of wielding every [[type]] of attack possible. It also has the ability to float in mid-air, in much the same fashion as {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Jirachi}}. It has been seen to be able to swim {{m|Dive|underwater}} as well.

===Behavior===
Mew is a very curious and intelligent Pokémon that will only appear to someone with a pure heart. It loves playing around and swimming, and is known to act very childish at times, wanting everybody it trusts to play with it. It is attracted to {{wp|lullabies}} and will try to stay as close to the music as possible. All in all, Mew is known as a happy, playful and optimistic species of Pokémon, unlike its relative, Mewtwo.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Reports found on Burned Mansion found in [[Cinnabar Island]] in the Kanto region speak of expeditions of scientists, either independent or Team Rocket-run which had sighted Mew in {{wp|Guyana}}, South America, the place where its first sighting was reported. However, since Mew can either make itself invisible or transform itself into any other Pokémon, very few people have knowingly seen it, and it is called a mirage by most.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Considering Mew's unique lifestyle as a floating Psychic Pokémon, and that no terrestrial animal resembles it, there is no known diet for Mew. However, it can be found with the [[Lum Berry]], which might offer a clue as to what it eats.

==In the anime==
{{spoiler}}
[[File:MewInBubble.png|thumb|right|In Mewtwo Strikes Back]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Mew (movie 1)|Mew (Mewtwo Strikes Back)]]====
In this movie, Mew made a couple cameo appearances at the start of the movie. A {{an|Mewtwo}} was cloned from Mew's DNA, extracted from Mew's eyelash. Later, Mew started appearing around [[New Island]] while Mewtwo was testing his [[starter Pokémon]] clones. Mew followed [[Team Rocket]] into the main part of the island so it could stop Mewtwo from destroying the world. After the end credits of the movie, Mew is shown flying to the mountains.

Mew makes a small appearance in the hour-length special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', the sequel to ''Mewtwo Strikes Back''. Mewtwo sees it after being thrown into the Purity Spring.

====[[Mew (movie 8)|Mew (Lucario and the Mystery of Mew)]]====
[[File:Mew.png|right|thumb|In Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]
Another Mew first appeared as a {{p|Taillow}}, landing on [[Cameran Palace]] and then {{m|transform}}ing into {{p|Treecko}}. It then transformed into an {{p|Aipom}} to play with [[Ash's Pikachu]]. {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|the others}} released their Pokémon to play with what they thought was an Aipom.

After taking them to an attic, [[Kidd Summers]] sent her two {{p|Weavile}} after it. To escape, it {{m|teleport}}ed itself, along with Pikachu and {{MTR}}. It then transformed once again into a {{p|Pidgeot}} and flew the Pokémon to the [[Tree of Beginning]]. While Ash and the others were looking for Pikachu, Mew kept it entertained with toys.

Mew also nearly sacrificed itself to save the Tree of Beginning. {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}} stepped in and was able to save Mew, but ended up sacrificing itself. Mew is believed to still reside at the Tree of Beginning. It is last seen playing with a {{p|Bonsly}}.

====Other====
A {{pkmn2|Mirage}} Mew appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', and helps to interfere with the plans of [[Mirage Master]].

===Minor appearances===
[[Lawrence III]]'s actions in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' were apparently set in motion due to an Ancient Mew card; the card itself was actually shown in the movie.

A Mew appeared in the [[boss fantasy]] of ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]''. As of this episode, every {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} has appeared in at least one episode of the anime.

==In the manga==
[[File:Mew in the manga.png|right|thumb|Mew as it appears in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Mew debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''. Here, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} see one in [[Pallet Town]] and try to catch it, but fail. It is known as the "Phantom Pokémon" and was chased by [[Team Rocket]].

Team Rocket's chase would continue all the way to the {{DL|Pokémon Adventures volume 2|the next volume}}, where they attempt to regain the disc containing Mew's habitat and information from {{Adv|Green}}, but fail and are tricked into stealing an empty one she prepared. They catch up to Green and her unwilling ally Red soon afterward, and interrupt them when they tracked down and attempted to capture the rare Pokémon. However, when their {{p|Jynx}} was able to almost succeed, Mew's powerful psychic attack left them listless, and soon escaped. The small samples of its DNA that the Rockets acquired, however, led to the creation of its powerful clone.

Another volume later, Mew is briefly seen looking into the [[Indigo Plateau]] after Red wins the Pokémon League championship and decides to return to Pallet Town with his two fellow [[Pokédex Holder]]s.

It later reappeared in the [[FireRed & LeafGreen chapter (Adventures)|FireRed and LeafGreen saga]], where it saved Red and the people of [[Vermilion City]] from the impending crash of the TR helicopter. {{adv|Mewtwo}} notices this, and realizes that he too had a root to trace itself back to, as it was born from Mew's eyelash.

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Mew.png|right|thumb|Mew in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
In Super Smash Bros. Mew will sometimes appear out of a [[Poké Ball]]. When summoned, it will use {{m|Fly}} to leave the arena. In single player, the summoner is awarded the "Mew Catcher" bonus, worth 10,000 points.

After unlocking every character in Melee, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Mew appearing from a Poké Ball. The thrower of the Poké Ball receives the same "Mew Catcher" bonus.

Mew returns again as a rare Pokémon in Brawl, the chance of it appearing is 1 in 493 this time. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Mew's case, the items are CDs. However, once all the pick-up CDs are obtained, it will drop Stickers instead.

===[[Pokémon Snap]]===
Mew appears in the seventh course, [[Rainbow Cloud]]. Although the game is not combat-oriented, the difficulty of photographing Mew effectively make it the game's boss. Mew floats in a bubble that turns opaque when the zoom is activated, so players must throw a series of Pester Balls or Food at it to break the bubble so Mew will come out for a clear shot. Photographing Mew gets an automatic bonus of 2500 points, making it the highest ranking Pokémon in the game with a highest possible score of 10,000 points with perfect positioning, size and pose.

==Trivia==
* Though it comes after {{p|Mewtwo}} in the Pokédex, it has to have been found before Mewtwo, due to the fact that Mewtwo is a clone of it.
* Mew was the only Pokémon of the first 151 to be left out of the original version of the [[Pokérap]].
* Mew was a little-known secret when {{game|Red and Green|s}} were first released in Japan. Even Nintendo was not initially aware that [[Shigeki Morimoto]] had programmed it into the game.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/news/iwata/iwata_asks_-_pokmon_heartgold_version__soulsilver_version_16288_16289.html</ref>
* In the games, lost scientific reports state that Mew was found in the forests of Guyana.
* In [[Generation III]], Mew was the only [[Kanto]] Pokémon not catchable in either {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, as well as the only legendary Kanto Pokémon catchable in {{v2|Emerald}}.
* Mew is the only genderless Pokémon able to learn {{m|Attract}} and {{m|Captivate}}; however, when used by Mew, they will fail unless the opposing Pokémon is also genderless.
* Mew's English name, only three letters long, is the shortest of all Pokémon. It shares this distinction with {{p|Muk}}.
* Unlike most [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]], Mew needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to Level 100, whereas most legendaries need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with both {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
** Coincidentally, the three of them all have base 100 stats.
* If Mew were considered an enbodyment of 'earth', it and the other 'fairy legendaries' would represent the chinese Wu Xing, fire (Victini), water (Manaphy), earth (Mew), wood (Celebi), and metal (Jirachi).
* In [[Super Smash Bros.]] it has a chance of 1 out of 151 to appear, in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 251, and in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 493. These are the total numbers of Pokémon in [[Generation I]], [[Generation II]], and [[Generation IV]], respectively.
[[File:Wildmew.jpg|thumb|right|A wild Mew found using the [[Mew glitch]]]]
* Mew is legitimately obtainable only in [[Nintendo promotional event]]s, historically through a direct trade. In {{game|Emerald}}, it may be found in [[Faraway Island]], a location that may be reached only with the promotion-only item [[Old Sea Map]]. After certain conditions are met, a Mew can be transferred to a Generation IV game from [[My Pokémon Ranch]].
* Although Mew is considered the ancestor of all Pokémon, {{p|Arceus}} is said to be the first of all Pokémon.
* Mew's species name, "New Species", is rather ironic, as it is in fact one of the first ever Pokémon to have existed.
** In the games it is also unable to breed, despite being the ancestor of all Pokémon.
* In many of the games, Mew is depicted as pink. However, in the movies and some of the spin off games, Mew is a much lighter color.
* Mew shares the move {{m|Transform}} with {{p|Ditto}}, along with also sharing the same color, both {{Shiny}} and not.
* In an interview with Game Freak and Creatures, Inc. in Nintendo Power issue 134, Tsunekazu Ishihara revealed that he created Mew two weeks before game development was finished.
* For the most recent release of Mew as an event for {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, for the US it was released ten years to the day for the anniversary for the original release of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.
* Mew's tail in the back sprites of [[Generation IV]] grew in length from the [[Generation III]] back sprites.

===Trademark===
* Mew (then spelled ミュー, not ミュウ) was the first Pokémon trademark ever registered (granted on March 31, 1994, registration number 2636685 part 12), before even Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター), which was granted on December 26, 1997.
** ミュウ was registered on August 6, 1999, registration number 4302090.
* Mew is also the first Pokémon trademark ever applied for; the application was submitted on May 9, 1990, application number 平2-51989; before even Pocket Monsters, which was submitted September 11, 1995.
** ミュウ was submitted on June 17, 1997, application number 平9-128909.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Mew}}
Mew is similar to a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}. It is purported by scientists to be the ancestor of all other Pokémon, a reference to the {{wp|recapitulation theory}}. It also shares some traits with felines.

====Name origin====
Mew's name may refer to its {{wp|cat}}-like appearance, with ''mew'' being the sound a kitten makes, the Japanese word ''unique'' (myō), or the English word ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (myūtanto).

'''Spiritomb''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ミカルゲ''' ''Mikaruge'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dark}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Spiritomb resembles a swirling, purple vortex with green, varying in size orbs of light circling the face. It has a green mouth with a crooked expression and two green eyes shaped like half-crescents. One of the eyes has a spiral-shaped pupil. Spiritomb is attached to a light-brown/gray stone, the [[Odd Keystone]], in which it was trapped after doing bad deeds 500 years ago. It is apparently composed of 108 separate, yet bound-together, malevolent spirits.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Spiritomb's abilities are similar to its fellow {{2t|Dark|Ghost}}, {{p|Sableye}}. However, Spiritomb is much stronger than Sableye both offensively and defensively, albeit slightly slower. Spiritomb's movepool lacks most of Sableye's attacking options. However, Spiritomb can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}, {{m|Hypnosis}} and {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}, {{m|Imprison}}, {{m|Grudge}}, and {{m|Ominous Wind}}. Like most Ghost-types, it can also use {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Like {{p|Sableye}}, Spiritomb also has no type weaknesses unless subjected to {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, or the move user has the ability {{a|Scrappy}}. Spiritomb is immune to {{type2|Psychic}} energies unless the user is under the effect of {{m|Miracle Eye}}.

===Behavior===
Spiritomb are thought to be evil Pokémon. They tend to go on destructive rampages like {{p|Gyarados}}. It is said to act as a hive-mind, with all of the souls that comprise it acting in unison towards the same goal.

===Habitat===
Spiritomb are entrapped in [[Odd Keystone]]s and must be brought to the [[Hallowed Tower]] to be awakened. Some, as indicated in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], also live in caves.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

[[File:Spiritomb anime.png|right|thumb|Spiritomb in the anime]]

==In the anime==
Spiritomb appeared in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. When Buizel accidentally knocked down [[Hallowed Tower]], Spiritomb emerged from the tower's [[Odd Keystone|keystone]]. It then wreaked havoc on a nearby town.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP056|Spiritomb|Dawn's Pokédex|Spiritomb, the Forbidden Pokémon. As punishment for misdeeds 500 years ago, Spiritomb was sealed in the fissure of an [[Odd Keystone]].}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
A Spiritomb first appeared under the ownership of [[Cynthia]] in ''[[PS347|Vs. Roserade II]]'', and helped {{adv|Platinum}} train for her upcoming gym challenge against [[Gardenia]]. With its psychic abilities, it was able to seal [[Wig]]'s {{m|Razor Leaf}} attack alongside [[Platinum's Empoleon|Prinplup]]'s water attack, and used them to save [[Rad Rickshaw]], inadvertently getting {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and Platinum a set of bicycles.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: A Spiritomb is the boss of [[Sealed Ruins]]. He captures {{mdc|Grovyle|2}} and the player must battle the Spiritomb to free him.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: A Spiritomb was ordered by {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}} to hold {{mdc|Celebi|2}} hostage in the depths of [[Icicle Forest]] to lure {{mdc|Grovyle|2}} into the center of the electric field. This Spiritomb is likely to be the same one from the Sealed Ruins.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: A Spiritomb is the boss the first time the player goes through the [[Chroma Ruins]]. It also appears as the second boss of the Capture Arena.

==Trivia==
* Spiritomb is the second out of two Pokémon in National Pokédex order to have no weakness (excluding when under the effects of {{m|Odor Sleuth}} or {{m|Foresight}}). The first is {{p|Sableye}}.
**Due to this, and the fact that Spiritomb has higher stats than Sableye, it is common for [[cheating|hackers]] to make a Spiritomb with {{a|Wonder Guard}}.
**When used with Wonder Guard, for some reason, [[Fire Fang]] can hit it, but no other move (even other Fire attacks) can. This may be a reference to the [[Shedinja]] weakness to Fire.
* Spiritomb has been shown {{a|Levitate|levitating}}, but cannot have the ability.
* In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]], Spiritomb's entry states that it was formed from 108 spirits, Spiritomb's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] is 108, its Defense and Special Defense base values are 108, and it weighs exactly 108.0 kilograms. It also explicitly states this in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, when it shouts "We are SPIRITOMB! We are made from a fusion of spirits! One hundred and EIGHT of them!" This is based on the number of temptations a person must overcome to reach Nirvana in Buddhism, implying that Spiritomb couldn't resist the temptations, so was bound to [[Odd Keystone|a stone]].
* As of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, all methods of obtaining Spiritomb in the main games (discounting {{pkmn|breeding}}) involve connecting with another device (another player's [[Nintendo DS]] or the [[Pokéwalker]]).
* While it is composed of multiple souls, it is gendered. This could mean that every soul composing a spiritomb have the same gender.
* All of Spiritomb's Pokédex entries mention the fact that it is bound to the [[Odd Keystone]].
* Despite its artwork only showing one spiral eye both the anime and [[Pokémon Adventures]] show it having two.

===Origin===
Spiritomb is based on a Jibakurei, a spirit bound to a single place. It also based on a {{wp|Buddhist}} tradition performed on {{wp|New Year's Eve}} in Japan. A bell is rung 108 times to chase away the 108 temptations in order to achieve Nirvana.

Similarly, the provenance of Spiritomb probably arises from the Chinese novel, {{wp|Water Margin}}, whose opening chapter begins with the release of 108 spirits. This draws heavy parallels with the release of Spiritomb, comprised of 108 spirits according to the Pokédex, from the Odd Keystone.
====Name origin====
Spiritomb's name is derived from ''spirit'' and ''tomb''. Its Japanese name may come from 甕 ''mika'', meaning ''jar'' or ''urn'', referring to it being a container of souls; and 軽石 ''karuishi'', ''{{wp|pumice}}'', or 御影石 ''mikageishi'', {{wp|granite}}, referring to its base, the Odd Keystone.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Kryppuk - From ''Krypta'' (crypt) and ''Spuk'' (spook).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Spiritomb
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 화강돌 ''Hwagangdol''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 花岩怪 ''Huā Yán Guài'' - May mean "Multicolored rock monster". 花岩 can also mean "flower-patterned rock".

|{{Project leader|{{u|Clarky13}}}}
Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''locations in the Pokémon world'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list]].

==Scope==
Project Locations covers all articles about locations in the Pokémon world. The ultimate goal is to create, expand and standardize articles for every location in the Pokémon world, ranging from popular locations ([[The Underground]]) to the obscure ([[Seabreak Path]]). All locations in the Pokémon world fall under the scope of this project, except for numbered routes and major named routes, which are under the scope of {{bp|Project Routes}}, a subproject of Project Locations, as well as cities and towns, which are covered by {{bp|Project Cities and Towns}}, another subproject.

===To-do list===
{{main|Bulbapedia:Project Locations/To-do list}}

*Expand all articles to the project standard.
**[[Kanto]]
**[[Sevii Islands]]
**[[Johto]] (New versions too)
**[[Hoenn]]
**[[Sinnoh]]
**[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]]
*Add pictures to all location articles.
*Add map views to all articles.

===How you can help===
You can help by opening the [[List of locations by name]] and selecting any location that is a stub (or not a stub) and expand it using your general knowledge or from other facts and figures. Most of the existing location articles need to be modified to comply with the project standard (see below). You can check [[:Category:Location stubs]] to see which articles need expanding.

Some articles need pictures. Help them by adding a picture of the location from the Bulbagarden Archives or uploading a new one. If you see an article without a location map in its infobox template, add one immediately. Also, some articles do not have an infobox template, if you come across one, add it immediately.

===Ultimate Goal of the Month===
{| cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4" align="center" width="100%" style="background: #C4E673; border: 10px #{{ice color}}; -moz-border-radius:15px;"
|[[Image:HoennIIIE.png|right|100px]]
Articles about Hoenn routes, cities, and locations are looking down in the dumps. Why don't we quality them up before the storm of Generation V comes. Every little bit of information counts, so when you've got some time, expand some articles and make them a little better than stub status.

===Stub of the Month===

<big>'''Snowpoint Temple'''</big>

'''Snowpoint Temple''' (Japanese: '''キッサキしんでん''' ''Kissaki Temple'') is a location in [[Snowpoint City]]. It is the home of the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Regigigas}}, which can only be awakened for {{pkmn|battle}} if the {{player}} brings along all three of [[Hoenn]]'s [[legendary golems]]. The player cannot enter the Temple without defeating [[Cynthia]] as well as obtaining the [[National Pokédex]], and even then, Regigigas will not awaken without the Hoenn trio present. The temple is very extensive, and has many puzzles involving sliding on ice.

==Structure==
===Infobox information===
Articles should use {{template|Infobox location}}, and all known information should be supplied. A example Infobox is shown below.

===Main section===
Untitled section that describes the location. Depending on the location, this section may just describe where it is located in the Pokémon world and basic details regarding the area, or may go into considerable detail. Regardless, all text describing the location should be in this section.

===Geography===
A geographical description of the location, including similarities to places in reality. This is to include all parts of the location.

===Items===
A list of items found in this location as well as a description of where the items are. These are to be placed in dot points with a short description on how to find it.

===Pokémon===
A list of Pokémon that appear in this location as well as encounter rates and times of encounter if possible. Lists should be separated by Generation using third-level headlines. If the route appeared in only one Generation, then the Generation heading is not necessary. See {{rt|1|Kanto}} and {{rt|132|Hoenn}} for examples of tables.

Lists should be organized in order of location, then highest to lowest encounter rate. If the encounter rate for a Pokémon is lower in a different game, a repeat of the entry should be made directly underneath except with that particular game highlighted (instead of in the initial entry), and the different encounter rate stated. In the case of multiple Pokémon with the same encounter rate, Pokémon should be listed in order of games they are available in, then their [[Natdex|National Pokédex]] number.

===Trainers===
A list of trainers, using the appropriate template. They should be separated by Generation using third-level headlines. If the route appeared in only one Generation, then the Generation heading is not necessary.

===Differences among Generations===
If the location was featured in multiple versions and Generations of Pokémon, the differences between those should be discussed here. A gallery of different generations can be placed here to show the differences.

===See also===
Place all internal links here, that have reference or significance to the article.

===References===
Place all references here.

===External links===
Place all external links which are not references here.

===Categories===
All articles should use the following category:
*<nowiki>[[Category:(Region) locations]]</nowiki> where (Region) is either Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, or Sevii

All articles should use the following categories where applicable:
*<nowiki>[[Category:Red, Blue and Yellow locations]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>[[Category:Gold, Silver and Crystal locations]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>[[Category:Ruby and Sapphire locations]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>[[Category:Emerald locations]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>[[Category:FireRed and LeafGreen locations]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>[[Category:Diamond and Pearl locations]]</nowiki>

==Templates==
===Infobox===
The Infobox to use for this project is {{template|Infobox location}}.

This is the basic syntax you need to get a complete routebox on the article page, just place this before any other text and fill in the variables.
<pre>
{{Infobox location
|image=
|type=
|location_name=
|japanese_name=
|translated_name=
|location=
|region=
|generation=
}}
</pre>
{{Infobox location
|image=FL Safari Zone.png
|type=land
|location_name=Safari Zone
|japanese_name=サファリゾーン
|translated_name=Safari Zone
|location=North of [[Fuchsia City]]
|region=Kanto
|generation={{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}
}}
For the above parameters, here's what you should fill in:
* '''image:''' name of an image for the location on Bulbagarden Archives
* '''type:''' is the type of place the location is located on, or what it is - land, road, water, or cave. This determines how the infobox is colored. (If omitted, color is white.)
* '''location_name:''' name of the location
* '''japanese_name:''' Japanese name of the location
* '''translated_name:''' Romanization of the location's Japanese name
* '''other_info:''' ''(optional)'' use for alternate names, an additional descriptor, etc.
* '''location:''' a brief description of where the article location is found
* '''region:''' the region that the location is in
* '''generation:''' a list of all generations of games this location has appeared in. <nowiki>Handy template shortcuts include {{subst:Gen|I}} for Generation I, {{subst:Gen|II}} for Generation II, and {{subst:Gen|III}} for Generation III.</nowiki>

By completing the infobox as follows, you'll get a routebox like the one to the right.
<pre>
{{Infobox location
|image=FL Safari Zone.png
|type=land
|location_name=Safari Zone
|japanese_name=サファリゾーン
|translated_name=Safari Zone
|location=North of [[Fuchsia City]]
|region=Kanto
|generation={{Gen|I}}, {{Gen|III}}
}}
</pre>
