MegaMew: grammar edit

[[File:Platinum Pokémon menu.png|frame|right|Viewing a party in {{game|Platinum}}]]
A '''party''' or '''team''' is a group of up to six [[Pokémon]] that a {{pkmn|Trainer}} carries with him or her. After this team of six is filled, newly-acquired Pokémon are sent to a [[PC]] to be stored. Trainers may have any Pokémon in their party, and newly {{pkmn2|caught|captured Pokémon}} will automatically fill empty slots in the party. If a Trainer wishes to change Pokémon into or out of the party, he or she can, however, they must travel to a [[Pokémon Center]] or another PC-enabled place and use its [[Pokémon storage system]] to do so.

When entering a single battle, the first Pokémon that has not fainted in the party list is the one that will be drawn first. For double battles, the first two Pokémon that have not fainted in the party list are the ones that will be drawn first by the Trainer.

Appropriately, any Pokémon currently in the party is called a party Pokémon. All Pokémon in a Trainer's party will slowly gain [[Happiness|trust towards him or her]] as the Trainer walks around.

Viewing the party in the [[menu]] will display their name, sprite, current HP, [[status ailment]], and level.

Pokémon in the party will recover from [[Pokérus]] after midnight.

In {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}} games the Pokémon that leads the party will be following the player around, like {{g|Yellow}}'s {{p|Pikachu}}

== Will All Pokémon Be Able To Enter? ==

Will every Pokémon be able to enter these? [[User:Thermorules123|Thermorules123]] 19:46, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
:I would imagine so, but we don't know for sure yet (and probably won't know until the games come out). [[User:Zesty Cactus|Zesty Cactus]] 19:49, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
:: I can imagine Arceus playing! - [[User:Manaphy1|Manaphy1]] 19:54, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

== Feebas issue ==

Feebas evolves with maxed out beauty. How will it evolve with the new stats of Speed, power, technique, stamina and jump? Are these in addition to the old Contest stats? If so, that's three sets of stats which is a little bit too much to cram into one Pokemon's profile. The Feebas problem should be mentioned. [[User:Bttsstewart|Bttsstewart]] 06:13, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
:You probably have to evolve in DPPt. FRLG didn't have those stats either so all Feebas had to have their Beauty maxxed out in Hoenn. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:26, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

::Yes, but Pokemon's evolved since then. Megamew

'''Castform''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポワルン''' ''Powalen'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon whose type can change to {{T|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, or {{t|Ice}} depending on the [[Weather conditions|current weather]].

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Castform is a small, grayish Pokémon that resembles a cloud. Castform appears to have a pair of white goggles; however, Castform's appearance (and type) can change depending on the weather.

In strong sunlight, Castform's lower half becomes pure white while the head turns orange with smaller orange balls surrounding it. This gives Castform's head a shape that is similar to the sun.

During rain, Castform's lower half becomes a darker shade of gray. The head is blue, resembling a drop of rain.

In hail or snowy weather, Castform's head turns purplish-blue. The rest of of the body changes into a mint green {{wp|cumulonimbus cloud}}.

Strangely, Castform doesn't have a form for sandstorms and fog.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Castform has the aforementioned ability to change its form with the weather (even though it lacks forms for sandstorms and fog). Castform is capable of various {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, {{t|Electric}}- and {{type2|Grass}} moves. Castform is one of only two Pokémon that can learn {{m|Weather Ball}} (the other is {{p|Roserade}}).

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Castform prefers grassland.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[Image:Bart.jpg|thumb|right|220px|A Castform in the anime.]]
A Castform from the [[Weather Institute]] changed into various forms in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG083|Castform|Ash's Pokédex|Castform, the Weather Pokémon. Castform is able to {{a|Forecast|transform its appearance depending on the weather}}. It uses the power of nature to transform in order to protect its small body.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Hoenn}}

==In the manga==
A Castform, nicknamed Popo, belongs to {{Special|Ruby}} in [[Pokémon Special]]. Previously, she belonged to [[Mr. Stone]], who was injured in an attack by [[Team Aqua]]. Popo was then given to [[Gabby & Ty|Gabby and Ty]] to be cared for while he was being healed. She later decided to travel with Ruby when he began traveling with the reporters because she was lonely. Until he was reunited with [[Ralts (Pokémon)|Ruru]], Popo was Ruby's Smart [[contest]] Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Castform's weather-based transformations are the same color whether or not it is {{shiny2}}.
* When Castform undergoes a weather-based transformation, the graphical interlude is the same as that of a Pokémon using the move {{m|Transform}}.
*It is the only Pokémon able to learn both {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Water Gun}}.
** It is also the only Pokémon able to learn both {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Powder Snow}}.
* Castform will not transform in [[Weather conditions#Fog|fog]], during a [[Weather conditions#Sandstorm|sandstorm]] or in [[Weather conditions#Shadow Sky|Shadow Sky]].
**However, in {{g|Mystery Dungeon}}, fog transforms it into its Rain form.
* Castform's Weather Ball will always receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]], even when its form is changed, except in a sandstorm and when [[Weather conditions#Shadow Sky|Shadow Sky]] is active.
* Along with {{p|Cherrim}} it is the only Pokémon to date to change when the weather changes.
** Also along with Cherrim, it is the only fully-evolved Pokémon that can change forms freely that is not banned from tournaments.
* For some reason, in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2, it is a body size 4 despite it being a body size 1 in the first Mystery Dungeon games and its in-game sprite still being the same size in the second Mystery Dungeon games.

===Origin===
It appears to be intended to resemble and act like a living cloud. Its ability to change shape and type depending on the weather condition makes similar to a {{wp|weather balloon}}. It's also similar both in concept and design to a {{wp|teru teru bozu}}, a Japanese charm doll used to wish for good weather.
===Name origin===
Castform's name seems to be a combination of ''forecast'', predict the weather, and ''transform'', referring to its ability to change type depending on the weather. The German and French names refer to this also. Its Japanese name may be a combination of 天気予報 ''tenkyohō'', weather forecast, and 変わる ''kawaru'', to change or transform.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Formeo - From ''form''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Morphéo - From ''morph'' and ''{{tt|météo|weather forecast}}''.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 캐스퐁 ''Caspong''

'''Linoone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マッスグマ''' ''Massuguma'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Zigzagoon}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Linoone are little weasel/badger-like creatures. Their long bodies are like a weasel's, and their sharp elongated claws are like a badger's. They also have small sharp teeth that are efficiently used with their claws in hunting. There is an arrow on it head as well, referencing its straight movement.

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

====Special abilities====
Since Linoone have a keen sense of smell, they are able to locate and {{a|Pickup}} items while its trainer walks around.

When the Generation IV games were introduced, Linoone was given another ability. Due to the fact that it loves berries more than almost anything else, it is a complete {{a|Gluttony|glutton}} when it comes to them.

===Behavior===
Linoone are incredibly fast, but they aren't the best at cornering, so they typically run in a straight line. Linoone have an attraction to anything round, and will grab any orb-shaped object they see if given the chance. They often carry a snatched object in their expandable cheek pouches and deposit it in any of a number of secret stashes they keep on their territory.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Linoone tend to live in forests and grasslands, similar to actual {{wp|racoon}}s.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Linoone anime.png|thumb|right|210px|Linoone in the anime]]
Linoone made a cameo in the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' as one of the Pokémon living in [[Forina]].

In ''[[AG112|Showdown at Linoone]]'', a Linoone nicknamed "Tokin" had developed a bad habit of stealing anything round.

In ''[[AG155|Green Guardian]]'', [[Solana]] used her [[Capture Styler]] to get help from three of Linoone to slash the vines.

In ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It!]]'', an injured Linoone is nursed back to health.

A Linoone appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
[[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: When {{p|Chikorita}} uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} on the Ruby Field, two Linoone will pop out. Hitting the left Linoone will make a {{p|Gulpin}} appear, activating Travel Mode when there are three Gulpin on the table. Hitting the right Linoone will change the stance of {{p|Makuhita}} allowing it to punch the ball towards the Upgrade.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=normal
|gen=3
|rubydex=Linoone always runs full speed and only in straight lines. If facing an obstacle, it makes a right-angle turn to evade it. This Pokémon is very challenged by gently curving roads.
|sapphiredex=When hunting, Linoone will make a beeline straight for the prey at a full run. While this Pokémon is capable of topping 60 mph, it has to come to a screeching halt before it can turn.
|emeralddex=It is exceedingly fast if it only has to run in a straight line. When it spots pond-dwelling prey underwater, it quickly leaps in and catches it with its sharp claws.
|firereddex=When running in a straight line, it can top 60 miles per hour. However, it has a tough time with curved roads.
|leafgreendex=When running in a straight line, it can top 60 miles per hour. However, it has a tough time with curved roads.
|diamonddex=It charges prey at speeds over 60 mph. However, because it can only run straight, it often fails.
|pearldex=It charges prey at speeds over 60 mph. However, because it can only run straight, it often fails.
|platinumdex=It charges prey at speeds over 60 mph. However, because it can only run straight, it often fails.

[[image:SELogo.png|right|thumb|250px|''Super Effective'''s logo]]
'''Super Effective''' is a webcomic based on {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. It was first published on April 23, 2008.

It is made by [http://www.vgcats.com/ VG Cats] author Scott Ramsoomair, and focuses on the journeys of {{ga|Red}}, although some comics deviate slightly from the plot of the games.

The humor is based around jokes and questions commonly found in the fandom, such as the fact no one has seen [[Brock]]'s eyes, and [[Professor Oak]] doesn't know the name of his {{gary|grandson}}.

Twenty-nine issues of ''Super Effective'' have been published.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Raticate was classified as a rat Pokémon. However, in from Generation III onward, it is classified as a mouse.
* Though its {{game|Yellow}} Pokédex entry states that it can swim in rivers to hunt for prey, it cannot learn the move {{m|Surf}}.
* With the {{m|Sketch|exception}} of {{p|Smeargle}}, Raticate and its pre-evolution are the only Pokémon that learn {{m|Flame Wheel}}, yet aren't {{type2|Fire}}.
* Raticate is the only Pokémon whose catch rate has changed. It was 90 prior to Generation III, when it changed to 127.

===Origin===
Its webbed feet, body shape, and overall design are very similar to the {{wp|coypu}}, or {{wp|nutria}}, a semi-aquatic South American rodent.
====Name origin====
Raticate's name seems to be a combination of ''{{wp|rat}}'' and ''eradicate'', meaning to destroy or exterminate. ''Ratta'' seems to be derived from ''rat'' alone, although it should be noted that Rattata's Japanese name, ''Koratta'' is that of Raticate's with ''ko'' (child) in front of it.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Rattikarl - A combination of ''Ratte'' (rat) and ''radikal'' (radical). Also incorporates the first name ''Karl'' (Carl).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Rattatac - From ''rat'' and ''attaque'' (attack).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 레트라 ''Reteura''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 拉達 ''Lá Dá'' - Transliteration of Raticate's Japanese name, Ratta.
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 哥達 ''Ge Dá'' - Same as pre-evolved form {{p|Rattata}} except without the 'little'.

Stat Trainers

2009-08-25T00:16:34Z

MegaMew: a minor trivial edit.

'''Stat Trainers''' is a fan term for a group of five [[Pokémon Trainer]]s; [[Cheryl]], [[Mira]], [[Riley]], [[Buck]], and [[Marley]]; who specialize in Pokémon that excel in a certain [[stats|stat]].

==In the games==
The stat Trainers first appeared in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, where each is encountered at a certain point during the player's journey. Unlike other Trainers, the stat Trainers ask the player to help them to navigate their way through a certain area, participating in [[double battle]]s against other Trainers and [[wild Pokémon]], and healing the player's Pokémon after each battle.

After the player has defeated the [[Elite Four]], the stat Trainers that the player has so far encountered (only [[Cheryl]] is required to be encountered during the game's storyline; the others are optional) will be waiting in the {{si|Battle Tower}} to participate in tag-team double battles.

In {{game|Platinum}}, in addition to reprising their role from Diamond and Pearl, the stat Trainers the player has encountered will also appear in the [[Battleground]] in the [[Survival Area]] as potential opponents. Riley and Buck are also now required to complete the game's storyline, with both of their scenarios involving Team Galactic.

==In the anime==
So far, three of the five have appeared in the anime, doing so in the same order they can be first encountered in the games.

Cheryl was the first to appear, in ''[[DP030|Some Enchanted Sweetening]]'' and the two episodes that followed. As in the games, she traveled with {{Ash}} and his {{ashfr|friends}} through [[Eterna Forest]]. After finding the [[honey]] she was looking for in ''[[DP032|An Angry Combee-nation!]]'', she left the group.

The next to appear was Mira, in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]''. Unlike in the games, she was not lost in [[Wayward Cave]], but instead needed Ash and his friends to help her with their {{type2|Water}} Pokémon to retrieve her {{p|Sandshrew}} from her sunken school. After this was done, she had her {{p|Abra}} {{m|teleport}} the group to [[Hearthome City]].

Riley made his appearance most recently, when Ash journeyed to [[Iron Island]] in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'', after facing [[Byron]]. Like Ash, Riley has the ability to use [[Aura]]. He and his {{TP|Riley|Lucario}}, along with Ash and his friends, stop [[Team Galactic]]'s plot to discover the location of [[Spear Pillar]] on [[Mt. Coronet]] while attempting to calm the {{type2|Steel}}s that are disturbed by the beam the evil team is sending at the mountain in [[DP111|the next episode]].

==Trivia==
* All the stat Trainers' names are based on a variety of grains, in the original Japanese and all translated versions.
* Based on how they hold their Poké Balls, the Trainer's back sprites were likely edited from the player character's sprites.
* All back sprites of the stats Trainer's are holding [[Poké Ball]]s, however all front sprites of the stats Trainer's are not holding anything.
* The Stat Trainers are the only Pokémon Trainers with animated sprites that use the standard Trainer battle music.
* Since there are only five stat trrainers, none train the Special Defense stat.

Misty's Psyduck

'''Misty's Psyduck''' (Japanese: '''カスミのコダック''' ''Kasumi's Koduck'') was the fifth [[Pokémon]] {{pkmn2|caught|acquired}} by [[Misty]] in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. Its Japanese voice actress is ''[[Rikako Aikawa]]'' and its English voice actor is [[Michael Haigney]].

==History==
In [[HopHopHop Town]], the local Pokémon had been turned listless by the {{t|Psychic}} waves produced by a {{p|Hypno}}. When a {{p|Drowzee}} nullified the waves, the Pokémon were cured, with the exception of a {{pkmn2|wild}} Psyduck that [[Nurse Joy]] had been looking after due to a chronic {{wp|headache}}. [[Brock]] wanted to impress the woman, so he promised to take care of the duck-like Pokémon.

Later, it was discovered that Psyduck had a permanent headache. Not wanting the continuously ailing Pokémon, Brock ended up passing it off to Misty because she is a {{type2|Water}} specialist. Misty tried to avoid the little thing, but she ended up capturing it by accident when she dropped a [[Poké Ball]] that subsequently rolled towards Psyduck. Psyduck tapped the ball's control with its bill twice and essentially captured itself.

Out of all of Misty's early Pokémon, Psyduck is arguably the one with the most personality. It was heavily featured, and appears in many episodes, although its appearances started to grow sparse during the [[Johto]] saga.
[[Image:TheBridgeBikeGang.gif|thumb|left|Misty yelling at Psyduck]]
Psyduck seems to truly love and care for Misty. Despite its faults, it always tries to be there for her, whether she likes it or not. Psyduck does not like to stay in its [[Poké Ball]], and will usually pop out according to its mood. This personality trait has come in handy quite a bit - when Misty or her other Pokémon are captured, it is usually Psyduck who escapes and runs to get help. However, it also tends to frustrate Misty, as it results in Psyduck sometimes emerging for a {{pkmn|battle}} when Misty would prefer to use another Pokémon (although in these cases Psyduck generally manages to win thanks to its Psychic [[Move|attacks]]).

In ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', Misty's Psyduck seemed to have gotten separated from the group. Later on, a girl named {{oi|Marina}} arrived with a lost Psyduck. Misty assumed it was hers and noticed that its tail was glowing bright pink, which Marina pointed out that Psyduck would [[Evolution|evolve]] soon. Misty and Marina had a {{pkmn|battle}}, during which Ash tossed Misty her bag. It landed in the water, and when Misty retrieved it, she found a {{p|Golduck}}. Thinking her Psyduck evolved, she battled with Golduck, winning the match against Marina. Even when [[Team Rocket]] barged in to steal Marina's Pokémon, Golduck easily rescued them. However, when Misty attempted to recall Golduck, her Psyduck popped out instead, revealing that the Golduck was a {{pkmn2|wild}} one and that her Psyduck never even left the Poké Ball.

It was also used in the [[Whirl Cup]] and during [[Princess Day|Princess Festival]], where it finally defeated {{Ash}} and [[Jessie]].

Psyduck has trouble swimming, which is unusual for its species. It also has trouble in battle. It knows several powerful {{type2|Psychic}} techniques, but can only use them when its headache is severe. When Psyduck battled [[Tyra]]'s {{p|Cloyster}} in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', Misty considered trying to boost its power by slamming a [[Bicycle|bike]] onto its head.

Misty constantly complains about Psyduck's faults, but many suspect that she actually deeply cares for Psyduck - she has never considered getting rid of it, though it has been suggested several times; she instantly shoots down such ideas, such as when [[Koga]] and [[Aya]] both offered a [[trade]] with her.

==Trivia==
*Psyduck was the first Pokémon that Misty owned whose [[National Pokédex]] number was lower than 100. She would later capture a {{TP|Misty|Poliwag|Politoed}}, though it eventually became a Politoed, leaving Psyduck as Misty's only Pokémon whose National Dex number is less than 100.

Pokémon Contest

MegaMew: a minor trivial edit.

:''This article is about Pokémon Contests in [[Generation III]]. For the Contests in [[Generation IV]], see [[Pokémon Super Contest]].''
----
'''Pokémon Contests''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコンテスト''') are a type of competition often contrasted with [[Pokémon battle]]s and held in [[Contest Hall]]s. Pokémon are judged on their [[condition]] and [[moves]] in two rounds, to determine which is the best of its category.

==In the anime==
[[File:Pokémon Contest Hall Hoenn.png|thumb|A Contest Hall]]
Pokémon Contests were first introduced early on in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. In them, {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s show how strong and beautiful their Pokémon can be. A Contest is divided into two parts. The first round involves the Coordinator [[appeal]]ing with his or her Pokémon to demonstrate its moves. During the appeal, the judges, usually [[Contesta]], [[Sukizo]], and a [[Nurse Joy]], score the Coordinator. The second round is the battle round, where two Coordinators must do battle while still remaining stylish. The battle ends after five minutes have passed, a Pokémon is [[unable to battle]], or a Coordinator has lost all of his or her points.

*In [[Hoenn]], Coordinators may enter only one Pokémon for both rounds. The master of ceremonies is [[Vivian Meridian]].
*In [[Kanto]], Coordinators may enter different Pokémon for each round. This is so that the judges can see more variation. The [[Contest announcer|master of ceremonies]] is [[Lilian Meridian]].
*In [[Sinnoh]], Coordinators enter one Pokémon for each round, and they also dress up nicely. The [[Contest announcer|master of ceremonies]] is [[Marian]].

Any Coordinator will need a [[Contest Pass]] for a region to enter contests in that region. Coordinators who win five [[Ribbon]]s are able to enter that region's [[Grand Festival]]. A ribbon won from events such as the [[Wallace Cup]] can be used in ''any'' region.

==In the games==
Pokémon Contests are in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} only, and do not appear in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. A {{pkmn|Coordinator}} enters [[Pokémon]] in one of five [[Contest categories|categories]]: [[Cool Contest|Coolness]], [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]], [[Cute Contest|Cuteness]], [[Smart Contest|Smartness]], or [[Tough Contest|Toughness]] and compete against three other Coordinators in two rounds. In [[Generation IV]], these basic ideas were expanded upon with [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s.

===Preliminary judging===
First, the audience preliminarily votes on which four competing Pokémon looks the coolest, most beautiful, cutest, smartest, or toughest, depending on what category the Contest is in. Attributes that the audience likes and the Pokémon's overall luster also beneficially influences the audience. To make a Pokémon look cooler, etc., a Coordinator prepares [[Pokéblock]]s of a specific color from certain [[Berries]], depending which category he or she wants to augment, and feeds them to his or her Pokémon. How well a Pokémon does in this phase is shown by the number of hearts that appear over the audience members' heads.

===Secondary judging: appeals===
In the secondary phase, the four Pokémon take turns [[appeal]]ing, using certain [[moves]] in front of an appointed judge. In one contest, there are five rounds of Appealing, in which each Pokémon may make appeals once or not at all, depending on the moves it and the other Pokémon have used in the previous round. Every move that a Pokémon can learn is in one of the five contest categories and adds a certain amount of "red hearts" (how much the Judge likes the appealing Pokémon) or "black hearts" (a negative number of red hearts), and may have a certain effect on the user or the other appealing Pokémon. Effects on other Pokémon include [[Jam]]ming or reducing other Pokémon's number of hearts, making other Pokémon more nervous, and so forth. Move combos (e.g. using {{m|Sunny Day}} one round, then {{m|SolarBeam}} the next) score extra hearts. Moves that are of the same contest category as the contest the user is competing in may excite the audience, and if the audience becomes extremely excited, the Pokémon scores extra hearts.

====Turn order====
In the first round, the turn order is determined by how well each Pokémon did in the preliminary judging. In the rounds after the first, they are ordered from who won the most hearts to the least in the next round, unless one of the appealers' moves changes or randomizes the order.

====Statuses induced by contest moves====
If a move a Pokémon uses in an appeal makes the user "settle down just a bit", indicated by a circle icon, it prevents one jamming from another Pokémon's move; after a single jam occurs and is prevented or the round is over, the Pokémon loses this protection.

If a move a Pokémon uses in an appeal makes it "become oblivious to others", indicated by a circle icon, it prevents the user from being jammed at all during the entire round.

If a move a Pokémon uses in an appeal tries to jam another Pokémon, the user or the other Pokémon are indicated with either a swirly spiral icon or an ear.

If a Pokémon becomes nervous due to another Pokémon's attack, it is indicated by two tildes on top of each other, a bit like an equals sign.

If a move a Pokémon used in the previous round renders the user unable to appeal in the current round, it is indicated by an "X" icon.

Stars may be earned in an appeal as marks of "good condition", and may be received from the judge as a result of an earlier-used move. They add one more heart to the appeal.

====Judges' reactions====
When the judge has a question mark "?" over his head, each Pokémon is indicated with the text "NEXT TURN: ?". When this happens, the turn order for the next appeal round is scrambled.

When the judge has a number 1 or 4 over his head while watching a Pokémon appeal, that Pokémon is indicated with the text "NEXT TURN: X", where X is the number over the judge's head. When this happens, that Pokémon will become first or last in the turn order in the next round, depending on the value of X. If another Pokémon uses a similar appeal and also moves to the beginning or ending, the Pokémon that appealed first will move to the next turn, and "NEXT TURN: X" will change accordingly.

When the judge has a swirly spiral over his head while watching a Pokémon appeal, that means the Pokémon has repeated a move it used last turn. The first time a move is repeated, the Pokémon loses two hearts. The second time, it loses three hearts, and so on. There are a few moves to which this rule doesn't apply, such as {{m|Hidden Power}}. To prevent this from happening accidentally, the name of the move used in the previous round is gray when selecting a move to appeal with.

When the judge has a single exclamation point "!" over his head while watching a Pokémon appeal, that means a combo is possible with the move just used, and the Pokémon is indicated by a flashing red dot. If the Pokémon knows a move it can perform a combo with, its name will be red when selecting a move to appeal with.

When the judge has a double exclamation point "!!" over his head while watching a Pokémon appeal, that means it has just performed a combo with the two previous moves it appealed with. Then, the Pokémon will receive double the amount of hearts it would in a basic appeal.

When the judge has a star over his head while watching a Pokémon appeal, the Pokémon receives a star.

====Audience====
In secondary judging, the crowd's excitement over a Pokémon's appeal influences the number of hearts it earns. This is shown by the excitement meter, a series of five ovals that may be filled or empty.

If a Pokémon uses a move whose contest category is the same as the category of the contest it is participating in and the excitement meter is below five, the meter increases by one, and the Pokémon receives one more heart during its appeal.

If a Pokémon uses a move whose contest category is disliked by the audience for the contest it is participating in, the excitement meter will decrease by one.

If a Pokémon uses a move, and the excitement meter then reaches five, the Pokémon receives six more hearts during its appeal, and the excitement meter returns to zero.

===After judging===
After five rounds of appealing has passed, the four Pokémon's results are shown. Here, stars represent how well the Pokémon did in the preliminary judging, and the hearts indicate how well the Pokémon did in the secondary judging; both fill up the four Pokémon's meters. The Pokémon whose meter becomes the highest is announced as the winner of the contest, and is awarded a [[Ribbon]]. In the Master Rank, if the Pokémon has already won the ribbon for that category, the player will be given a Luxury Ball. A small portrait of the winner is painted and placed in the Contest Hall. A painter will paint a large painting if the winner of a Master Rank contest wins with a high score. These larger paintings are displayed in the [[Lilycove Museum]].

===Contest ranks===
There are four [[Rank#Main series|contest ranks]]: Normal Rank, Super Rank, Hyper Rank, and Master Rank. Every contest, as well as having one of the five categories, has one of these four ranks. For a Pokémon to enter a Super Rank Beauty contest, it has to have a Normal Rank Beauty Ribbon, and for a Hyper Rank Cool contest, it will need a Super Rank Cool Ribbon, and so on.

A [[Contest Pass]] is required to enter any contest.

In {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, Normal Ranked contests are held in the [[Verdanturf Town]] Contest Hall, Super in [[Fallarbor Town]], Hyper in [[Slateport City]], and Master in [[Lilycove City]].

In {{v2|Emerald}}, contests of all four ranks are held in the Lilycove City Contest Hall only. Also, the Contest Pass is not required.

==Trivia==
*The contest Ranks are named after the original Kanto [[Poké Ball]]s, although it seems the translation team did not catch this, as the ''Japanese'' Poké Ball names (Normal, Super, Hyper, Master) are used in English versions. This was rectified in [[Generation IV]] in the ranks of {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s (Normal, Great, Ultra, Master).
*For [[DP011]] and [[DP012]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]]s are about Pokémon Contest Appeal Round and Battle Round respectively. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about the Appeal Round: ポケモンが　かれいにまわるよ　コンテスト ''Pokémon, oh they spin beautifully; that is a contest.'' He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about the Battle Round: ごふんかん　みせてしょうぶだ　コンテストバトル ''A five-minute battle for show, that is a contest battle.''
*Interestingly, the move {{m|Struggle}} has Contest stats, despite the fact that Struggle cannot be used in a contest, as it can only be used if the attacking Pokémon has no {{PP}}.
*Contests are one of the few places in the Pokémon games one can find [[nickname]]d Pokémon. All Pokémon used by [[Non-player character|NPC]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in Contests have nicknames.

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

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

Celebi is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Dex number|Johto Dex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn Dex]], 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, large baby-blue eyes with black rings around them and a pair of green antennae that are tipped blue.

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

====Special abilities====
Celebi has the power to travel through time. Celebi 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 awesome 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.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|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 guardian of the forest.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Celebi anime.png|right|thumb|210px|Celebi in the anime]]
[[Celebi (Pokémon 4Ever)|Celebi]] first appeared in ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''. A Pokémon hunter was after it and Celebi traveled 40 years into future to escape from him, taking young [[Sam]] along with it accidentally. [[Vicious]] 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 also made an appearance in [[Pokémon Chronicles]]. In ''[[H013|Celebi and Joy]]'', Celebi took [[Ritchie]] back in time to help stop the destruction of a [[Pokémon Center]].

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

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

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

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], [[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.

Near the end of the RS Saga, {{Special|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]] and [[Magma Admin Courtney]] by sending them through an altered future.

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Celebi Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Celebi in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
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.

Celebi returns as a rare Pokémon in Brawl as well; the chance of it appearing is decreased to 1 in 493. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just {{m|Fly|flying}} away. In Celebi's case, the items are Trophies.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: [[Celebi (Mystery Dungeon 2 character)|A shiny Celebi]] is a supporting protagonist in the main storyline. When the player and partner are sent to the future by {{OBP|Dusknoir|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}}, the player, partner, and {{OBP|Grovyle|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}} work together to get back to the past. Celebi was the Pokémon who sent Grovyle to the past before, and the trio receive her help to go back again.

==Trivia==
* Celebi is the mascot of [[Serebii.net]].
* Celebi was the only Pokémon of the 100 [[Generation II]] Pokémon that wasn't used in the [[Johto]] [[Pokérap GS|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}}.
:* This also, obviously, makes Celebi the [[Legendary Pokémon]] with the most weaknesses.
* While Celebi has the power of time travel, it cannot control time, a power belonging to {{p|Dialga}}.
* 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}}. Shaymin's Sky Forme is the only of these Pokémon to not have 100 for all of their base stats.
* During the main story of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], the Shiny Celebi 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 [[Celebi (Pokémon 4Ever)|Celebi]] became a co-star of [[Pokémon 4Ever]] with {{p|Suicune}}.
* Celebi's number in the [[ndex|National Dex]] and the [[jdex|Johto Dex]] are the same: 251. This makes it one of twelve Pokémon to have the same numbers in more than one [[Pokédex]]-like listing. The other eleven are all members of the {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Ralts}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, and {{p|Beldum}} evolutionary families.
* Celebi's ability to bring life back to forests is similar to {{p|Shaymin}}, the only other {{type2|Grass}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

===Origin===
It may be based on a {{wp|fairy}} or {{wp|dryad}}.
====Name origin====
Celebi's name may be a combination of ''{{wp|celestial}}'' and ''being''. Celebi's Japanese name may be taken to be a combination of the English ''serenity'' and the Japanese ''bii'', which translates to ''beautiful''. It may also come from ''{{wp|celery}}'', due to the fact that Celebi is a Grass-type. It is interesting to note the similarity between "Celebi" and "telebi", the Japanese word for "television". Its name may have even originated from disco artist Celi Bee, and quite possibly, the Spanish word for onion, ''cebolla'', since Celebi's head is shaped and looks slightly like an onion. Its name could have also originated from the island "Celebes" in Indonesia.

== Article Editing ==

I've been noticing you've been creating "wanted pages", but you've been making them without categories or link templates. Bulbapedia policy states that all new pages in encyclopedic namespaces must be categorized. The one and only exception is the [[Main Page]]. Although you've been doing a good job of avoiding disambigs, make a habit of using link templates anyway. Look at the {{bp|list of link templates}} to find out how to use them. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 14:50, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

:Thanks Shiningpikablu252. I've been wanting to use them for a while, but copying and pasting hasn't been working. I'll try to use them from now on. MegaMew

Pokémon Special is not Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! And please stop making the stubs I am currently working on them. --[[User:CoolPikachu!|'''☆Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''ピカチ''']][[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''ュウ!''']] 23:26, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

The '''Sinnoh region''' (pronounced /ˈsɪnno/) (Japanese: '''シンオウ地方''' ''Shin'ō-chihō'') is a [[region]] in the [[Pokémon world]], the setting of the [[Generation IV]] games {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It is [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based on]] the geography of the Japanese island of {{wp|Hokkaido}}, and according to the {{pkmn|anime}}, the Sinnoh region is located north of the [[Kanto]] region.

==Geography==
Sinnoh features a broad range of new and classic environments for the player to explore including, for the first time in a Pokémon RPG, snowy routes. The region also features full-land geography, with only five [[sea route]]s. Despite this lack of sea routes, a direct opposite of the [[Hoenn]] region, the Sinnoh region is known to be rich in water, and has three lakes at the northernmost ([[Lake Acuity|Acuity]]), easternmost ([[Lake Valor|Valor]]), and westernmost ([[Lake Verity|Verity]]) ends of the main continent that are home to the members of [[lake trio|one of the legendary trios of Sinnoh]]. Near Lake Valor, as well, there is a hidden fourth lake, [[Sendoff Spring]], which houses [[Turnback Cave]].

Due to its large size, the main region of Sinnoh can be broken into two sub-regions divided by [[Mt. Coronet]], roughly comparable to how the continent that [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] make up is essentially a contiguous region. Due to this, {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} have developed an instance of regional speciation, with members of the species found on the eastern side being blue-colored and members on the western side being pink-colored.

The western half of Sinnoh features a variety of landscapes. Its coasts are notably more rocky than the eastern half, however, the land is far more fertile, and the towns, for the most part, are rural. A windswept canyon, carved out by a river that flows from Mt. Coronet, is home to the [[Valley Windworks]], which provides clean, wind-driven electricity to the nearby towns. This is not to say, however, that there is no importance to west Sinnoh, as [[Oreburgh City]], [[Eterna City]], and [[Canalave City]] are the locations of [[Pokémon Gym]]s, and [[Jubilife City]], at the heart of the area, is the most technologically advanced city in the region.

Sinnoh's eastern half is home, however, to a vast many more things, including [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s in [[Hearthome City]], a [[Veilstone Department Store|Department Store]] in [[Veilstone City]], the [[Great Marsh]] of [[Pastoria City]], and the awe-inspiring [[Vista Lighthouse]] of [[Sunyshore City]]. In each of these cities, as well, there is a Pokémon Gym, which is very important for League-bound {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.

Unlike the halves of Sinnoh divided longitudinally by Mt. Coronet, the northern area is sparsely populated, with [[Snowpoint City]] as the only major area, likely due to the harsh snows that blow down from the mountain's peak, making the area not only very cold, but as well making a trip northward very perilous. Despite this relative isolation, however, Snowpoint as well has a Pokémon Gym, making it another important stop for Trainers who wish to compete in the Pokémon League.

A third sub-region is the [[Battle Zone]], which is on a large island to the northeast of the mainland. Much like how people from the [[Sevii Islands]] seem to consider their home to be a separate region from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], people from the Battle Zone often refer to Sinnoh as a separate region. Several islands, including [[Newmoon Island]], [[Fullmoon Island]], and [[Iron Island]], lie off the northwestern coast of Sinnoh as well, though these are far eclipsed in both size and importance by the mainland.

Separated from both the Battle Zone and the mainland of Sinnoh by several straits is the island on which {{si|Pokémon League}} of Sinnoh is located, the only access to which is by way of {{rt|223}}. It is here where Sinnoh's {{si|Victory Road}} is located, which, unlike previous incarnations has not two, but three entrances: One of these, of course, is the southern entrance that Trainers from the mainland must navigate from, a second is the one that leads to the area in which the [[Elite Four]] can be challenged, and the third leads from a {{m|Defog|foggy}} area of Victory Road to {{rt|224}}, which is said to be a miniature version of Sinnoh. North from Route 224, through a special event, of course, leads the [[Seabreak Path]] to {{p|Shaymin}}'s domain, the [[Flower Paradise]].

===Routes===
Much like [[Hoenn]] before it, Sinnoh's routes are numbered so that they don't follow sequence directly from previously-known regions' routes. Routes in Sinnoh are numbered from {{rtn|201}} to {{rtn|230}}. Compared to previous generations, there aren't many sea routes; there are many land routes and mountains. The idea of routes with differing [[weather conditions]] was also brought ahead from [[Generation III]]. For the first time ever in a Pokémon game, some of Sinnoh's routes have snow covering them.

Another quirk about the routes in Sinnoh is that some of them do not go directly east/west or north/south, but actually turn before reaching their destination, most notably {{rt|212}}, which has two limbs of equal length. While Hoenn's {{rt|114}} did this on the [[Game Boy Advance]], it was not to this scale, so one may presume that the GBA was limited in this sense.

==League==

The Sinnoh League is the regional [[Pokémon League]] of the Sinnoh region. The [[Elite Four]] and the [[Champion]] are located at the {{si|Pokémon League}}.

==Trivia==
* Sinnoh's [[Gym Leader]]s each use a type that has previously been seen in another region's Gym. Four of them were first seen in [[Kanto]]; in fact, they are the same types as the first four Gyms of Kanto: {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{t|Grass}}. Similarly, the other four were first seen in [[Johto]], and are the same as the fourth through seventh Gyms of that region: {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Ice}}.
* If one were to draw lines to connect the three lakes of Sinnoh, they form a big triangle with [[Mt. Coronet]] at the center. This is the same formation that {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} make on the top of [[Spear Pillar]] with {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} in the middle. This formation is also repeated in many places having to do with [[Sinnoh myths]].
* Sinnoh is the only region of the main series games that has more than five letters in its name.
* Unlike [[Hoenn]], which is considered to be tropical, or the relatively temperate [[Kanto]]-[[Johto]] landmass, Sinnoh is shown to be farther north and much colder. This is shown by the cold weather around [[Snowpoint City]] and the routes leading to it, and the fact that {{ga|Lucas}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Pearl}} all wear scarves, and in {{v2|Platinum}}, much heavier jackets and clothes and scarves than have been seen by other {{player}} characters.
* In game, Sinnoh is the largest region yet, disregarding the visitable area in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} of [[Kanto]] and the [[Sevii Islands]].
* Sinnoh is also the only area traveled through where all the Gym Leaders that have been featured have appeared in an episode before Ash battled them.
* If a Pokémon hatches in an exclusive Platinum area (like Battle Frontier facilities) and it´s traded to Diamond or Pearl it will say hatched in Faraway Place, but still being Sinnoh.
*Sinnoh has introduced the largest amount of [[legendary Pokémon]], introducing 14.
*Interestingly, Sinnoh has an [[List of locations by index number (DS)|index number location]] programmed into [[Generation IV]] for it, despite the fact that all Sinnoh locations are programmed into the games already. This index location is at #2006, while coincidentally, Sinnoh's first games, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, were released in Japan in that year. This does not happen for the other three regions programmed in (ie, Kanto is 2003, not 1996, Johto is 2004, not 1999, and Hoenn is 2005, not 2002).
* Out of the four main regions (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh) Sinnoh is the only one not to contain five letters in its name. It has six.

Shimajio

MegaMew: the wanted page

Shimajio is an old man from [[EP096]] of the Pokémon anime. He worshiped [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] because he thought that Meowth could bring the town riches with [[Pay Day]], but Meowth didn't know this move so he had to fight an [[Onix (Pokémon)|Onix]] to gain [[experience]]. Meowth couldn't win, but Jessie and James bailed him out by throwing coins to make it appear that Meowth used Pay Day. Shimajio then wanted Meowth to rule the village, but Meowth decided to stay with Jessie and James.

Ground (type)

MegaMew: a minor trivia edit

{{ElementalTypes|ground}}
{{TypeNotice|Ground|じめん|Jimen}}
So far, there are only two notable Ground-type specialist {{pkmn|Trainer}}s: [[Giovanni]] of [[Viridian City]] and [[Bertha]] of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]].

==Characteristics==
Defensively, the Ground-type is mediocre. It is weak to Water, Grass and Ice, which are key attacking types. It resists Poison, a rare offensive type, and Rock. It is, however, immune to the Electric-type, posing a great advantage due to the minority of Pokémon resisting Electric-type moves that are not Electric-types themselves, and the lack of a 1/4 resistance to Electric even by [[Generation IV]].

Offensively, the Ground-type is one of the three most important attacking types, together with Ice and Fighting. It is the only type super-effective against Electric, and is super-effective against five types in total; only the Fighting-type is as powerful as this. It is also super-effective against the best defensive type, Steel. Grass- and Bug-types do resist Ground, but many of them lose their Ground resistance due to being part Poison. The greatest disadvantage of the Ground-type is that it does not affect the very common Flying-type at all, nor Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}.

The Ground-type combines very well with the Ice-type, as Ice covers Grass and Flying, while Ground covers Rock, Steel, and Fire. Ground and Rock also work very well together; Rock covers Ice and Flying while Ground covers Steel; as of Generation IV, only {{p|Claydol}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Breloom}}, {{p|Torterra}}, and {{p|Bronzong}} with Levitate resist both Rock and Ground. Most Ground-type Pokémon are able to learn Rock-type moves, possibly for that very purpose.

When used in contests, Ground-type moves typically become [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves. No Ground-type moves are [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, while they can be the other three types.

In total, there are 48 Pokémon with the Ground-type.

* Each Generation has introduced at least one Ground-type Pokémon whose name begins with the letter G.
* Although Ground-type Pokémon are immune to Electric-type attacks, the ability {{a|Static}} still affects them.

Coin Case glitches

2009-06-14T18:28:50Z

MegaMew:

The '''glitch dimension''' (as it is often referred to by fans) is a [[glitch]] in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]]. Several different things can happen upon activating this glitch, one being that the game freezes upon activating it. The other is that the screen turns white with a small purple rectangle in the top right-hand corner and the game restarts with different colors. When activated, it alters the colors of everything from the area the {{player}} walks around in to the wild and {{pkmn|Trainer}} battles. Also, it slows the processing speed when trying to view the player's [[party]] Pokémon when not in battle. The "Poké" in [[PokéGear]] changes to randomly placed Japanese symbols. All methods of this glitch have something to do with the [[Machop]] evolutionary family.

Interestingly, the Lugia and Ho-Oh on the title screens change from silhouettes to fully colored Pokémon. Unlike some other glitches, this glitch is merely for altering the visuals of the game, and will not negatively affect or erase the saved file once it is executed.

One glitch similar to this, but on a much smaller scale, is called the [[Dratini Glitch]]. This occurs when one speaks to the Dratini in Blackthorn City and subsequently uses the Coin Case. The Coin Case's display will then change what the Coin Case says from "Coins: ..." to "Which move?he pp of" permanently unless and until the game is turned off.

==How to access the glitch==

'''Requirements'''

''Method One:''
*Access to [[Vermilion City]]
*A Pokémon that knows {{m|Fly}} (only needed to fly to Vermilion)
*A [[Coin Case]]

MegaMew: just a minor piece of trivia

'''K-2''' (Japanese: '''K-2''') is a recurring [[Galactic Grunt]] in the ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]'' {{pkmn|manga}}. He claims that as a Grunt he "has no name" and is thus called by his assigned number K-2, pronounced as {{tt|ケーツー|kētsū}}, a pun on "{{tt|けつ|ketsu}}", the Japanese word for "butt".

K-2's first appearance was in ''[[DPA02|Hareta's Very First Pokémon Battle!!]]'' in [[Jubilife City]] with another Grunt. The two of them confront [[Hareta]] (who has wandered off while Mitsumi was speaking) and noting the rarity of his [[Hareta's Empoleon|Piplup]], they demand he hand it over. Hareta refuses, however, and gets angry upon recognizing their smell as being the same one as [[DPA01|when Onix went crazy]]. One of the Grunts commands their {{p|Wurmple}} to use {{m|String Shot}} on Hareta and Piplup so they can snatch Piplup and make a clean getaway. However, Hareta manages to follow the pair to [[Oreburgh Gate]], where he manages to bite K-2's rear before being taken down by the other Grunt's Wurmple's {{m|Poison Sting}}. The pair of Grunts bring Hareta to the [[Oreburgh Mine]], with K-2 stating that they're going to make him regret not only crossing their path, but also biting his buttocks, which are noticeably swollen by now. Before they can exact their revenge, though, they are defeated by [[Roark]] who happens to be nearby and the pair subsequently flee.

When K-2 reappears, he is on his own on the road to [[Celestic Town]] carrying a briefcase containing a "Secret Item". Hareta asks if he's up to no good again. K-2 refuses to tell him, but then blabs anyway that it's an item to catch a legendary Pokémon that must be kept secret until delivered to his boss. After Mitsumi points out that he just revealed everything, the grunt panics deciding that he must now hurry in order to deliver it. However as he begins to run, [[Cynthia]] trips him. He then sends out his {{p|Beautifly}} to battle, but it is instantly defeated by Piplup. Sending out three Wurmple, he has them all use String Shot together. Hareta appears to be in trouble unable to deal with this amount of string, until [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] helps out. However, the String Shot was merely a diversion and K-2 had already escaped.

When Hareta and Mitsumi arrive in Celestic Town, they encounter K-2 and a group of other Galactic Grunts at the Celestic Ruins. He says that they're too late and has already delivered the item to his boss and is now on his next assignment. After [[Cynthia's grandmother]] refuses to divulge any information about {{p|Dialga}}, he activates a bomb to destroy the relics. Hareta attempts to disarm the bomb, but instead reduces the time remaining from 5 minutes to 30 seconds. K-2 and the other Grunts then call a hasty retreat.

The next appearance of K-2 is on [[Iron Island]]. Hareta challenges him to a battle and his Graveler is then defeated by [[Riley's Lucario]]. As Hareta and [[Riley]] train together, they notice that all the wild Pokémon on Iron Island are in a rage. Eventually, K-2 reveals himself to be responsible and attacks with his Drapion. Through a tag-team of Hareta's newly hatched {{p|Riolu}} and Riley's Lucario, K-2 is defeated and flees once again.

He is also present at [[Lake Valor]], where he reveals that the briefcase he delivered to the boss earlier was actually the Galactic Bomb which drained the lake. He tells Hareta that he stands no chance against all the Galactc Grunts gathered there alone; however the Sinnoh [[Gym Leaders]] appear to take care of the Grunts while Hareta and [[Byron]] deal with [[Saturn]]. As the events at Lake Valor unfold, [[Cyrus]] himself becomes involved and in the end Team Galactic is defeated, however K-2 still manages to escape with the captive {{p|Azelf}}.

He later appears at the [[Snowpoint Temple]], where he witnesses the battle between Hareta and {{TP|Hareta|Regigigas}}. When he is found after the battle, Byron tells him to go tell Cyrus that the end is near.

When Hareta and the Gym Leaders arrive at [[Team Galactic HQ]], K-2 is the designated watchman. When everyone (other than Byron) decide to have a picnic outside before going in, he asks them what they're doing out here and Hareta tell him that they're having a picnic and asks him if he wants to join. K-2 accepts the invitation. After everyone has eaten their fill, K-2 is swiftly defeated in battle and Hareta and the Gym Leaders storm the building. This culminates with the building's self destruction as Cyrus escapes to [[Mt. Coronet]] with the [[Red Chain]].

When Hareta is on his way to the [[Spear Pillar]] to stop Cyrus, after defeating [[Mars]], K-2 steps in binding Hareta with his Wurmple's String Shot. However, as a light shines down from the summit, Mars and the still bound by string Hareta head up to the Spear Pillar, as the grunt calls out for them to wait up. After this, he appears to be the last person to arrive at the summit, being there in time to help with Cyrus's plan to stop Dialga and Palkia and send them back to where they came from.

After this, K-2 is not seen again until much later when Hareta comes to take on [[Charon]] at the new Galactic Headquarters in Veilstone. K-2 begs Hareta to help him save Cyrus, to which Hareta, and subsequently Jun and Mitsumi agree to. Before going to the HQ, Hareta asks him if he has a name, at which point he finally introduces himself as K-2. However arriving outside HQ, [[Kōya]] is there, refusing to let them in as [[Looker]] is currently in there taking care of Team Galactic with a Super Elite Squadron. However, Looker soon calls alerting Kōya that the mission was a failure, prompting him and the others to enter. They find Charon with an army of ferocious Pokémon, deciding to leave it to Hareta and Kōya, K-2 asks Mitsumi and Jun to help him save Cyrus in the meantime.

* In the special story, ''[[DPAS2|Deoxys, The Phantom Pokémon!]]'', K-2 stands guard at the [[Galactic Warehouse]].
* Due to his lack of an actual name in earlier volumes, some fans have taken to calling him '''Uranus''' as a combined reference to the planetary naming for the Commanders and his swollen buttocks.
* His name may have come from {{wp|K2}}, the second-highest mountain on {{wp|Earth}}.
*He actually has an attack called butt-bump which he uses at least once.

'''Fiore''' (Japanese: '''フィオレ''' ''Fiore'') is the setting for the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} videogame. Its name is [[wikipedia:Italian language|Italian]] for "flower". It may be somewhat close to the Sinnoh region, since it was stated in-game that Sinnoh was the closest region to send the Manaphy Egg during the Manaphy event.

==Geography==
[[Image:Fiore.png|thumb|240px|Fiore, labeled]]
Fiore is a location with mountainous terrain and four cities located in the cardinal directions of the map. Each city represents a season: Ring Town for spring, Fall City for fall or autumn, Summerland for summer, and Wintown for winter.
===Locations===
====Cities/Towns====
* [[Fall City]]
* [[Ring Town]]
* [[Summerland]]
* [[Wintown]]

====Areas of interest====
* [[Krokka Tunnel]]
* [[Sekra Range]]
* [[East Road]]
* [[North Road]]
* [[Fiore Temple]]
* [[Jungle Relic]]
* [[Kisara Plains]]
* [[Lyra Forest]]
* [[Dusk Factory]]
* [[Olive Jungle]]
* [[Panula Cave]]
* [[Safra Sea]]
* [[Go-Rock Squad Base]]
* [[Underground Waterways]]

====Routes====
Fiore does not have traditional [[route]]s.

==League==
The relationship between humans and Pokémon is substantially different in Fiore than it is in the regions of the main games. In Fiore, there are no trainers that capture and battle. The people that have the most interaction with Pokémon are the Pokémon Rangers. Since the rangers enforce a strict rule of releasing Pokémon after using their help, Fiore does not host a form of Pokémon competition in the vein of the other regions' [[Pokémon League]]. However, they do have capture challenges that are open for Rangers to hone their skills.

==Culture==
[[Poké Ball]]s are not sold or used in the Fiore Region. People who own Pokémon are encouraged to keep them by their side, outside of Poké Balls at all times, much like [[Ash's Pikachu]].

===History===
{{incomplete|article}}

==Trivia==
* While all the [[Eeveelution]]s prior to [[Generation IV]] can be found in Fiore, {{p|Eevee}} itself cannot be seen.
* [[Wintown]] is the only city or town without a Capture Challenge nearby.
*In Pokémon Ranger no generation IV pokemon can be found in this game (unless one counts the [[Manaphy (Pokemon)|Manaphy]] egg) but in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia there seem to be many generation IV pokémon there.

'''Dusknoir''' is a character from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]. He is a supporting character that plays a significant role in the game. He was first introduced to the player as a famous and wise Pokémon, exploring the world, solving mysteries but later turns out to be a main antagonist. At the end of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], he is reformed.

==History==
{{spoiler}}
Dusknoir has been sent by [[Primal Dialga]] to pursue {{OBP|Grovyle|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}} and the {{player|main character}}s. He pretends to be an explorer who is famous for his wisdom and for exploring alone. At first, when Dusknoir meets the player, he does not know the player's name and he actually rescues the player and the partner from the {{p|Luxio}} clan. He portrays Grovyle as a criminal from the future and says that he is also from the future to bring Grovyle to justice. The [[Wigglytuff Guild|whole guild]] falls for Dusknoir's lie and goes after Grovyle and tries to prevent him from stealing any more [[Time Gears]].

The player and its partner at one point approach Dusknoir with questions about the player's [[Dimensional Scream]] ability and asks if he knows anything about where the player came from. They mention the player's name, with the player noticing that despite claiming to know nothing about the player's memory loss, Dusknoir might have had a small smile. When Grovyle is caught and is about to be taken back to the future, Dusknoir calls the duo up to him and says hastily that it is too soon for good-byes, and grabs them both and takes them to the future before the rest of the crowd even realizes what has just happened. They, however, manage to escape from the future with Grovyle as their new ally.
[[File:PMD sky anime Dusknoir.png|thumb|left|Encountering Dusknoir]]
They meet Dusknoir again at the end of the [[Hidden Land]] and battle him and six {{p|Sableye}}, where he is finally defeated by them forcing back an attack that appeared to be {{m|Shadow Ball}} into the 'mouth' on his stomach, severely injuring him and sending his Sableye running back to the future in disbelief that Dusknoir had lost. After they defeat him, he rises and unleashes an attack on the player and tries to finish it of, but Grovyle steps in and Grovyle then takes Dusknoir back to the future with him to prevent him from stopping the player and their partner from changing the future. Dusknoir, Grovyle, Primal Dialga, the Sableye, and the player are all erased from time when the player and their partner stop Temporal Tower's collapse, but Dialga revives the player as a reward for their sacrifice.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], Dusknoir, Grovyle, Primal Dialga and the Sableye appear to survive, but are trapped in the dark future. Primal Dialga orders for Dusknoir to be executed for his failure in the past game by Primal Dialga's army, but gets away with the help of Grovyle. The two of them team up together to defeat Primal Dialga.

As they travel through the now-abandoned Temporal Tower and the [[Great Iceberg]], Grovyle and Dusknoir begin to develop a sort of kinship with each other. Dusknoir eventually asks Grovyle why he is willing to sacrifice his life to change the past (hence eliminating the dark future from existence), and Grovyle responds that it is better to live a short life with glory than a long, empty life.

At the end of the Great Iceberg, they see Celebi held hostage by a {{p|Spiritomb}}. Grovyle attempts to rescue her, whereupon he is captured in an electric field; Dusknoir reveals the supposed execution order was a ruse; he intends to possess Grovyle, travel to the past ''again'', and ruin things there. However, Grovyle, speaking of his newly-formed trust in Dusknoir, believes that not everything was indeed faked, that Dusknoir ''did'' identify with Grovyle at some point during the journey. Grovyle is correct - Dusknoir had begun to question whether self-preservation in a bleak future was a good idea. Just before Spiritomb kills Grovyle, Dusknoir rescues Grovyle from the electric field, whereupon Spiritomb flees.

It is at this point that Primal Dialga appears and attacks Dusknoir for his betrayal. The effects of Dialga's defeat in the past (the final boss battle in the main storyline) begin to take effect; time is slowly starting to flow. Dusknoir, now sincerely sharing Grovyle's goal, teams with him and Celebi in an effort to find Primal Dialga. After cornering Dialga at the Passage of Time, they defeat him, and the effects of the past finally take effect in full force; the Pokémon of the future are vanishing, and time flows again. After Primal Dialga vanishes, Dusknoir asks Grovyle one final question: whether this sacrifice is worth his life. With Grovyle's assurance that it is, he finally feels content and vanishes; Grovyle and Celebi follow soon after. Soon, everything in the future is erased from time.

However, the Pokémon of the future (Dusknoir, Grovyle, Celebi, Dialga) eventually find themselves in a newly-restored future, appearing at the Passage of Time, surprised they have not vanished. Dialga, now restored to his normal state, remarks that their resurrection is due to the actions of a {{p|Arceus|being}} "on an even higher tier than itself". With joy and hope restored to the future world, each of them is free to live their life as they truly wish.

'''Dusknoir''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヨノワール''' ''Yonoir'') is a {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dusclops}} when [[trade]]d holding a [[Reaper Cloth]]. It is the final form of {{p|Duskull}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Dusknoir's body is mostly black, with two almond shaped eye-like markings and a yellow horizontal zigzag line on this Pokémon's torso which can open like a mouth (creating the illusion of a face) and fire powerful attacks. Dusknoir now has fully developed arms. Two yellow bands are near its black wrists and its grey hands are similar to Dusclops'. Dusknoir has a gray, cylinder-shaped head with another yellow band near the top and a single black glaring eye with a yellow iris and a red pupil. Dusknoir has a gray neck collar divided into six flaps; three growing out of each side of it's neck. The collar ends in a v-neck at the front. Dusknoir has a ghostly tail instead of feet like Dusclops, resembling the typical depiction of a genie. Dusknoir has a yellow antenna on top of its head in which allows this Pokémon to receive transmissions from the spirit world which tell it to bring people there. In addition, it may have ties to the Grim Reaper, as the player needs a [[Reaper Cloth]] in order for it to evolve.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
In addition to the usual powers most ghost Pokémon possess, they also have great physical strength and can learn the [[Move variations|elemental punches]].

===Behavior===
They receive radio signals from the spirit world that tell it to bring people there. In the anime however, a Dusknoir was seen protecting Ash and Angie from being sucked into a portal to the spirit realm by a demon.

===Habitat===
They tend to prefer dark areas best.
===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Dusknoir anime.jpg|thumb|Dusknoir in the anime|210px]]
Dusknoir made its debut appearance in ''[[DP090|Ghoul Daze!]]'' where it tried to protect humans from a demonic girl who was trying to send them to the spirit world. However, Dusknoir was often blamed for the trouble that the girl caused.

==Trivia==
* Dusknoir and {{p|Gengar}} are the only second evolution {{type2|Ghost}}s. Dusknoir is the only one that is purely Ghost-type. Both [[evolve]] from their previous forms by [[trade|trading]].
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], while the "face" on Dusknoir's stomach seems to have an angry expression, the face on its back appears to be smiling.
** {{p|Spinarak}} has a similar pattern.
* Dusknoir has the highest Defense and Special Defense out of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* Dusknoir is the second [[list of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] non-legendary Ghost-type Pokémon, after {{p|Spiritomb}}.
* Dusknoir has similarities with {{p|Darkrai}}. They are both portrayed as villains in {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}, but they are portrayed as misunderstood heroes in their debut appearances in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
** In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, Dusknoir appears as the boss right before {{p|Darkrai}}. Both Pokémon are used by [[Blake Hall]], [[Team Dim Sun]]'s boss.
* While Dusknoir's name is pronounced "Dusk-nwar", {{g|Battle Revolution}} mispronounces it as "Dusk-no-are".
* Although Dusknoir has no legs, it can have {{m|Mega Kick}} because {{p|dusclops|it's pre-evolution}} has legs and is therefore able to learn it by move tutor in the Generation III games. Dusclops can then be [[Pal Park|transferred]] to the Generation IV games and evolved into Dusknoir.
*In the ''{{an|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky}}'' special Dusknoir seems capable of using {{M|Rapid Spin}} which is [[Anime move errors|impossible]] for Dusknoir to learn.
*As a Duskull, it had no legs. It gained some as a Dusclops, but loses them as a Dusknoir.
===Origin===
Dusknoir appears to be a ghostly {{wp|cyclops}}. A Japanese one-eyed mountain-dwelling creature named the {{wp|Gazu Hyakki Yakō|Yamawarawa}} may have been the inspiration for this Pokémon.

====Name origin====
Dusknoir's name is derived from ''{{wp|dusk}}'' and ''{{wp|black|noir}}'', which is French for ''black''. Yonoir is a combination of 夜 ''yo'' or ''yoru'', ''night'', and ''noir''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Zwirrfinst - From ''Zwielicht'' (twilight), ''wirr'' (chaotic), and ''Finsternis'' (darkness).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Noctunoir - From ''nocturne'' (nocturnal) and ''noir'' (black).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 야느와르몽 ''Yanoirmong''

Gym Leader

2009-06-11T20:48:34Z

MegaMew: small trivial edit

A '''Gym Leader''' (Japanese: '''ジムリーダー''' ''Gym Leader'') is the highest ranking member of a Pokémon [[Gym]]. The main job of a Gym Leader is to test Trainers and their Pokémon so that they are strong and resourceful enough to compete against the [[Elite Four]] in the games or the [[Pokémon League]] in the anime. If a {{pkmn|Trainer}} defeats a Gym Leader in battle, then the Trainer earns that Gym's [[Badge]]. Once a trainer has earned 8 badges from a region, he or she is able to compete against that region's Elite Four or Pokémon League.

A Gym Leader's job is not just to test upcoming Trainers. They must oversee how their respective gym is run and to maintain it. Great care must be taken to make sure that their gym reflects the best environment for the Pokémon type and playing style of choice, usually an environment that suits that type of Pokémon used there (like pools in a Water-type gym or flowers and plants in a Grass-type gym). In the games, Trainers must overcome various obstacles and challenges from other Trainers before they can challenge the Leader. Gym Leaders may also be involved in other activities when they are not battling other Trainers or training themselves, usually something to do with their town's particular attraction or landmark. Gym Leaders can also leave their gyms without notice (as {{ga|Blue}}, [[Giovanni]], [[Jasmine]], and [[Wallace]] do), and even challenge other Gyms and the [[Elite Four]] (like [[Volkner]] wanted to do).

It has not exactly been made clear how Gym Leaders attain their position, but it appears that it varies for each gym. Some of them founded their gym and are self-appointed, others appear to be passed on through families, while a few are chosen by the other members of the gym.

Although similar in nature, [[Frontier Brain]]s are not considered Gym Leaders and are thus not included in this list.

==Trivia==
*The three {{type2|Electric}} Gym Leaders all have light colored hair. Lt. Surge and Volkner both have blond hair, and Wattson has white hair.
* Every Gym Leader that specializes in {{type2|Rock}}, {{type2|Ghost}}, and {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon uses {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Gengar}}, and {{p|Steelix}} respectively in battle.
* Johto is the only region that did not repeat types from gyms released in previous generations. This is likely due to the fact that there had been only eight gyms before, while there were seventeen different types.
* Even though there are thirty-two known gyms in the games, there has not yet been a gym specializing in {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon, although there have been two [[Elite Four]] members, [[Karen]] and [[Sidney]]. Only {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, and {{type2|Dragon}} gyms are not located in multiple regions. Each of the twelve other types has been repeated at least once, and {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Electric}}-, and {{type2|Fighting}} gyms appear in three of the four regions.
*There have been more male Gym Leaders than female ones in every region except for [[Sinnoh]], where there are four of each. Kanto also has four of each in Generation II.
*Even though they were called Leaders in [[Generation I]], this title did not appear in battle until [[Generation II]].
*The only Gym Leaders so far whose parents have been seen in the anime are [[Brock]], [[Sabrina]], [[Tate and Liza]], and [[Roark]]. They all train either {{type2|Rock}} or {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.
:*Also, out of the five only rock-type leaders are boys (except for Tate who has a female twin) and the girls are psychic-type leaders except for Tate as mentioned before.
* Roark and Maylene are the only ones who have a known parent in the games.
*In the anime, Gym Leaders seem to be forbidden from switching their Pokémon. Those that Ash encountered before [[Blaine]] did switch; however, since Ash's match against Blaine in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Gym Leaders have not switched out their Pokémon. In the games, they may switch their Pokémon as often as any other Trainer.
*For ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Gym Leaders. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: ジムリーダー　いのちをかけて　かかってこい ''Jimu Rīdā / Inochi o kakete / Kakatte koi'' "Gym Leader, put your life on the line and challenge me"

'''Metapod''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トランセル''' ''Trancell'') is a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Caterpie}} starting at [[level]] 7, and it evolves into {{p|Butterfree}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
====Physiology====
While Metapod is classified as a cocoon Pokémon, it bears more resemblance to a chrysalis. Its soft body is protected by a hard outer shell while it undergoes metamorphosis. While this shell is said to be as hard as steel, a large sudden impact could cause its vulnerable body to pop out, leaving it completely exposed. It shares many physiological and behavioral characteristics with {{p|Kakuna}}, suggesting that they may have a distant relationship.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Metapod possess a very limited range of movement. However, by {{m|Harden|hardening}} their outer shell, they can protect themselves from most kinds of enemies.

===Behavior===
In order to conserve as much energy as possible, Metapod generally remain motionless. They can be very difficult to spot in the wild, because their green coloration helps them blend in with the tree-top canopies. If it is discovered by an enemy it is unable to do anything other than harden its outer shell. While this is enough to deter most predators it does not offer complete protection, as the Metapod's insides still remain soft and vulnerable. Its second line of defense is to drop out of the trees using {{m|String Shot}}. Because of its vulnerability, Metapod evolve rapidly into their final evolutionary stage.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Metapod can often be found in wooded areas, such as [[Viridian Forest]]. They dangle themselves from leafy canopies using {{m|String Shot}}.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Metapod does not eat. It relies on the energy it stored as a {{p|Caterpie}}.

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP004 017.jpg|thumb|right|{{AP|Metapod}} in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Butterfree|Ash's Metapod]]====
{{Ash}} had a Metapod that he caught as a {{p|Caterpie}} and evolved in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. It eventually evolved into {{p|Butterfree}} in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''.

====Other====
[[Samurai]], in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', battled Ash's Metapod with his own Metapod, but because both Metapod only knew {{m|Harden}}, the battle went on for hours until a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} forced the battle to end.

In ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', [[Bugsy]] used a Metapod against Ash for the Gym Battle. Unlike most Metapod, this one was actually able to fight back.

In ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'', Zander's Caterpie became [[Giant Pokémon|giant-sized]] after eating some enhanced Rare Candies. Zander's Caterpie knocked down part of a radio tower in order to make a place for it to evolve into Metapod.

===Minor appearances===
A Metapod was used by one of the students of the {{g|Trainer's School}} in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Metapod's first appearance is a cameo in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. Also, {{Special|Yellow}}'s {{p|Caterpie}} was a Metapod briefly before evolving again into {{p|Butterfree}}. [[Bugsy]] also uses two Metapod on his team.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Metapod is {{p|Caterpie}}'s friend.

==Trivia==
* Metapod is tied with {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Silcoon}}, and {{p|Cascoon}}; they are the weakest evolved Pokémon in the games, by average base stats.
* Metapod shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Silcoon}}, and {{p|Cascoon}}. They are all known as Cocoon Pokémon.
* Despite not being able to move, it can know {{m|Tackle}} if it evolves from {{p|Caterpie}}. Also, in {{game|Platinum}}, it can learn {{m|Bug Bite}} by evolution from Caterpie despite not having a visible mouth.
* Metapod has the same sprite in every [[Generation III]] game, making it one of the few Kanto natives in that generation to do so.
* Metapod is the first Pokémon to evolve in [[Pokémon 4Ever|a movie]].
*In generation I, Metapod's back sprite faces the trainer.
===Origin===
Its design appears to be based upon a generic butterfly chrysalis, most likely a {{wp|Cabbage White}} or {{wp|Swallowtail}} chrysalis.
====Name origin====
Metapod's name is a combination of ''{{wp|metamorphosis (biology)|metamorphosis}}'' and ''pod'', referring to its {{wp|chrysalis}} state. Its Japanese name appears to be a combination of ''transform'' and ''{{wp|cell}}'' or ''shell''.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Safcon - a combination of ''Safe'' ({{wp|safe}}) and ''Kokon'' ({{wp|cocoon}})
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Chrysacier - From ''{{wp|chrysalis}}'' and ''acier'', (steel).
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 단데기 ''Dandegi''

Talk:Ash's hat

''In a fit of maturity, however, Ash did not climb any trees or scream loudly at Aipom when his cap was stolen.''
:I love this sentence. :p --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 15:00, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Do we really need the Japanese for "Ash's hat"? It seems a bit superfluous... [[User:Amadeus|Amadeus]] 18:02, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
::::::This might be over a year old, but yeah, I think either Ash really is growing up (I do believe there's a maturity difference in his actions when you compare them, new episodes to old episodes, he is acting more maturely), or he just doesn't care that much about his newer hats... maybe this discussion should be continued, maybe we should discuss what we think should be added to the article concerning what happened.--[[User:Dragonbeastx/The Aura Spot|X, PEACE TO]][[User:Dragonbeastx|THE DRAGONS AND]][[User talk:Dragonbeastx|THE BEASTS]] 13:05, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

== Price ==

Not trying to start an edit war, which I've been seeing alot of lately, but in all honesty, $28 US, or even CDN isn't that much for a hat. We've got a place in our local mall here in Ontario called "Lids" that specializes in hats, and a good hat goes for around $40. [[User:QTR|QTR]] 17:17, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
:I agree. I've seen WAY more expensive hats. Megamew April 2009 UTC

[[Image:WheelerDoof.png|right|200px|thumb|Wheeler attacking {{ra|Kate}} with {{p|Bidoof}}]]
'''Wheeler''' is an employee of Altru Inc. He frequently uses {{p|Bidoof}}.

The {{player}} first meets him in [[Altru Park]] as [[Blake Hall]] gives a speech. Later, he attacks the player with several Bidoof at the [[Ranger Union]] during a raid by the [[Sinis Trio]].

The player faces him at the top of [[Altru Tower]], where he uses a single Bidoof against the player. After losing, he attempts to send another Bidoof, only to be stopped by Blake. When Blake loses control of Darkrai, Wheeler is pulled into a {{m|Dark Void}}.

After {{p|Darkrai}} is captured, he is freed from the Dark Void.

'''Blake Hall''' (Japanese: '''ブラック・ホール''' ''Black Hole'') is the third, current and youngest president of Altru Inc. and the leader of [[Team Dim Sun]].

He is first seen during a guided tour of the [[Altru Building]]. He is then again seen in a practice of the [[Go-Rock Quads]] when he made a speech. He also apparently made a song for them to sing during Altru's seventieth anniversary called ''Dream Energy'', which was hated by the Quads.

When the {{player}} confronts him at the top of [[Altru Tower]], he shows the power of the Incredible Machine by summoning a {{p|Dusknoir}} from the [[Hippowdon Temple]]. After the Dusknoir is captured, he summons a {{p|Darkrai}} to suck the player into a {{m|Dark Void}}. This fails when the player is rescued by [[Keith (Ranger)|Keith]]. After this, he increases the power of the Incredible Machine to Level Dark from the stable Level 3. With this, he loses control of Darkrai who then pulls him and [[Wheeler]] into a Dark Void.

After Darkrai is captured, he is freed from the Dark Void. [[Professor Hastings]] reveals from Brighton Hall's diary that Blake Hall's real name is actually '''Wyatt Hall'''. During his name changing ceremony, which was against his mother's wishes, he was offered to the Shadow Crystal with the desire for it to help Blake as he grows. However, Brighton realized far too late that he had made a mistake doing so as the Shadow Crystal was also feeding him darkness. Blake eventually drove him from Altru on his sixteenth birthday, rendering it impossible for Brighton to do anything about his son.

After the game, it is hinted that he has gone to a faraway prison as an NPC states that he has gone to a faraway land for the crimes he has done, despite his change from evil to good. Even after he is gone, team Dim Sun still (unsuccessfully) tries to carry out operations.

==In the games==
Cynthia helps the main character against [[Team Galactic]] in a point in the game. In {{v2|Platinum}}, when encountered in [[Eterna City]], she will give the {{player}} an {{pkmn|egg}} from which {{p|Togepi}} will hatch. She is also found on {{rt|214}} after the player has defeated [[Crasher Wake]] and received the {{Badge|Fen}}. She gives the player the [[SecretPotion]] to get past the {{p|Psyduck}} group on {{rt|210}}. She is very interested in mythology and history, and spends her time researching and exploring various sites associated with [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the [[Sinnoh]] region. Cynthia lives in [[Celestic Town]] with her sister and grandparents.

In {{game|Platinum}}, once Giratina appears in Spear Pillar and takes Cyrus down with it, Cynthia rushes onto the scene and assists the player during their mission in the Distortion World. She then expresses that everything that happened was destined, even though she wished that she was the one who battled {{p|Giratina}}.

Later, she reappears as the League Champion.

===Quotes===
====Before battle====
''"One look at you tells me many things about you. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. That's enough talking. Let's get on with why you're here. I, Cynthia, accept your challenge as the Pokémon League Champion! There won't be any letup from me!"''

OR

''"Have you been keeping well? Thank you for Mt. Coronet. And the Distortion World.{{tt|*|Pokémon Platinum only}} I'm truly grateful. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. But that's enough talk. Let's get on with why you're here. As the Pokémon League Champion, I accept your challenge!"''

The bottom quote is only said the ''very'' first time she is challenged. After winning at least once, it permanently changes to the top quote.

====During battle====
''"I can't remember the last time I was put in a corner like this!"''

''"I won't let this end yet! This match is too fun to let it end this easily!"''

====When defeated====
''"Just a few moments ago, you were the most powerful challenger. And just now, you became the most powerful of all the Trainers. You are now our newest Champion!"''

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Special]]===
She first appeared in Eterna City just after the trio's [[starters]] evolved. She lent them some help before the Gym challenge. She later appears after {{Special|Platina}}'s Gym challenge in [[Pastoria City]] to help some injured {{p|Psyduck}}.

'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is the [[Elite Four]] [[Champion]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}}. Other than the {{player}} using a [[Gender#Trainers|female]] [[Player character|character]], she is the first known female [[Pokémon League]] [[Champion]] in the video game series.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Cynthia.png|thumb|left|220px|Cynthia in the anime]]
Cynthia was first mentioned in [[Lucian]]'s flashback in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet]]'' along with the others members of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]]. She made her first appearance in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]''.

She was first seen battling against [[Lucian]] with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} on television. She then arrived in [[Amity Square]] where she was studying ancient tablets. [[Paul]] then challenged her to a battle. She defeated four of Paul's Pokémon using only her {{p|Garchomp}}.

She reappeared in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'' where she tried to stop [[Team Galactic]] from stealing the [[Lustrous Orb]].

She has been seen battling and defeating {{EF|Aaron}} on [[television]] in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]''.

==In the games==
Cynthia helps the main character against [[Team Galactic]] in a point in the game. In {{v2|Platinum}}, when encountered in [[Eterna City]], she will give the {{player}} an {{pkmn|egg}} from which {{p|Togepi}} will hatch. She is also found on {{rt|214}} after the player has defeated [[Crasher Wake]] and received the {{Badge|Fen}}. She gives the player the [[SecretPotion]] to get past the {{p|Psyduck}} group on {{rt|210}}. She is very interested in mythology and history, and spends her time researching and exploring various sites associated with [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the [[Sinnoh]] region. Cynthia lives in [[Celestic Town]] with her sister and grandparents.

In {{game|Platinum}}, once Giratina appears in Spear Pillar and takes Cyrus down with it, Cynthia rushes onto the scene and assists the player during their mission in the Distortion World. She then expresses that everything that happened was destined, even though she wished that she was the one who battled {{p|Giratina}}.

Later, she reappears as the League Champion.

|Possibly chosen due to similarity to "synthesis", or combining different pieces into one entity, which is a reference to the fact she combines several types in her arsenal. This name also refers to the Greek goddess Artemis, who is associated with the moon, which may be a parallel to Cyrus whose name refers to the sun.

Talk:Rival

MegaMew:

Jun why isn't Jun included in this article seeing how he is the main Rival in Diamond and Pearl

:He is, there's just no sprite of him uploaded yet. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 03:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

::Aren't some of those characters "PKMN Trainers" and not "Rivals?" -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 00:20, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Are Dawn and Lucas really considered rivals? You never battle them, and most of the time their Pokemon aren't as strong as yours.

== Question ==

Is there a reason we are not showing May and Brendan's sprites? They are rivals aren't they? --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:38, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

== Wally CAN weaken! ==

Interestingly, if the player's starter is Treeko, then Wally ''will'' be supereffective against the player's starter. As everyone knows, Psychic>Grass.[[User:Kirbysaur|Kirbysaur]] 22:36, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
:No, Psychic is not super effective against Grass. [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Smarter than the average bear!]] 22:39, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
:No, it's not. Psychic is 1x against Grass. If you compared this to a {{type2|Psychic}} and {{p|Bulbasaur}}, that would be the case as Bulbasaur is part {{type|Poison}}. Treecko is only Grass, therefore it doesn't apply. '''UltimateSephiroth''' ([[User:UltimateSephiroth|about me]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|chat]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|edits]]) 22:40, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
::Oops, I guess I had accidentally mistaken Treeko for a Grass/Poison type. Sorry. [[User:Kirbysaur|Kirbysaur]] 16:38, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

== Rival ==

The article is about TRAINER CLASS named Rival, not sort of characters. Brendan, May, Wally, Lucas, Dawn and Barry never had this title so they shouldn't be there. Maybe there should be a separate article on Rivals (character) and Rival (the class). --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:43, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

== Blue in Yellow ==

I'll try to add the yellow sprite of blue on the page, cause it just seems appropriate. Don't worry I'll use the first one, the battles before the S.S. Anne.--[[User:Dragonbeastx|DRAGON]][[User talk:Dragonbeastx|BEAST]][[User:Dragonbeastx/The Aura Spot|X]] 03:28, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

== May and Brendan - Psuedo Rivals? ==

I don't think May and Brendan should be in the same category as Dawn and Lucas. You never battle Dawn and Lucas. May and Brendan are a different story. I don't think Dawn and Lucas should even be on this page. They are not rivals, AT ALL. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 03:25, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Still, they are no normal trainer class, they are part of the storyline, and they use a specific starter. Megamew

and i consider it semi-legendary like unown or lucario.

also the way you obtain Rotom is like most legendaries, because you have to go up to a T.V. and then a battle starts, do you get what i'm saying?
and an '''''Bold text''OFFICIAL''' nintendo handbook says Rotom is legendary
and Rotom has legendary battle music!!!! [[User:Vik0z0z|vik0z0z]] 23:31, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

:Even without the Legendary music, there's still the fact that it was mentioned to be a Legendary in an official handbook that was made not only by nintendo, but TVTokyo and even Gamefreak, the ones who actually created Pokémon in the first place. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 00:50, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

what i'm saying is that you have to activate rotom (in a way) and then battle him.
how many non-legendary pokemon do that!?--[[User:Vik0z0z|vik0z0z]] 20:58, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
:{{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Sudowoodo}}. As much as I'd like to think Rotom's legendary, that argument doesn't cut it around here.--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 21:13, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

why would nintendo make such a big deal out of rotom in platinum if he wasnt legendary. {{unsigned|Vik0z0z}}
:To make little fanboys and fangirls argue about it on Bulbapedia talkpages. Look guys, there is no official confirmation otherwise, so we have to take it as ''unlegendary'', as that is what ''most'' of the information leads to. Yes, there are points on both sides, but with no ''official'' confirmation, we can't do anything. The discussion here is becoming best suited to the forums and further comments will be deleted.

== Trivia worthy? ==

Why wash Rotom? Maybe its dirty! (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) [[User:Zurqoxn|Zurqoxn]] 16:25, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

== Nintendo ==

We really should just wait for Nintendo to say something. I mean, just because someone says it isn't legendary or it is, doesn't mean that what they say is true or official, because nobody knows for sure, and because Nintendo never said anything about Rotom. (And I don't mean Pokemon.com) [[User:Vik0z0z|vik0z0z]] 19:48, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

:Still, multiple times it has been referred to as NON-legendary. You may be right, but I'm pretty sure its non-legendary. Nintendo mentioned it once if I'm correct, and the only possible proof that its legendary is that its banned from tournaments. ((User:Megamew/Megamew)) 02:08:13, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

:::Those handbooks are incalcuably full of errors, though. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 11:32, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Besides, the official Seal of Nintendo isn't going to apply anyways, as Nintendo didn't actually create Pokémon (it was gamefreak). All they did was allow it on their systems.

is there any way we can truly find out if it is a legendary or not? [[User:Vik0z0z|vik0z0z]] 23:26, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
and i consider it semi-legendary like unown or lucario.

also the way you obtain Rotom is like most legendaries, because you have to go up to a T.V. and then a battle starts, do you get what i'm saying?
and an '''''Bold text''OFFICIAL''' nintendo handbook says Rotom is legendary
and Rotom has legendary battle music!!!! [[User:Vik0z0z|vik0z0z]] 23:31, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

:Even without the Legendary music, there's still the fact that it was mentioned to be a Legendary in an official handbook that was made not only by nintendo, but TVTokyo and even Gamefreak, the ones who actually created Pokémon in the first place. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 00:50, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

what i'm saying is that you have to activate rotom (in a way) and then battle him.
how many non-legendary pokemon do that!?--[[User:Vik0z0z|vik0z0z]] 20:58, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
:{{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Sudowoodo}}. As much as I'd like to think Rotom's legendary, that argument doesn't cut it around here.--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 21:13, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

why would nintendo make such a big deal out of rotom in platinum if he wasnt legendary. {{unsigned|Vik0z0z}}
:To make little fanboys and fangirls argue about it on Bulbapedia talkpages. Look guys, there is no official confirmation otherwise, so we have to take it as ''unlegendary'', as that is what ''most'' of the information leads to. Yes, there are points on both sides, but with no ''official'' confirmation, we can't do anything. The discussion here is becoming best suited to the forums and further comments will be deleted.

== Trivia worthy? ==

On Pokemon Ranger (The first one), In Fall City, there is a young guy in a house in the south of Fall City. He has a picture on his wall which looks like either Freeze Rotom or Heat Rotom. Can someone else take a look at this for me?--[[User:Pokelova|Pokelova]] 05:12, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

== Cut and Spin Form U.S. names ==

Serebii.net today got information that two of Rotom's Form names have been changed in the U.S. translation as follows:

Cut Rotom is now known as '''Mow Rotom''' and
Spin Rotom is now known as '''Fan Rotom'''

I just wanted to let you guys you know --[[User:Dialgafan1|Dialgafan1]] 22:27, 17 March 2009 (UTC)Dialgafan1

== Heat Forme ==

On the official site for Platinum, it says the oven is a microwave oven. I changed it on the Rotom and Form differences pages. [[User:Yinyang1195|Yin]][[User talk:Yinyang1195|Yang]] 21:59, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

The regular Rotom illustrates the Rotom concept better than its other forms. Do you see the sky forme Shaymin as the main picture on Shaymin's page? No? Then put the regular Rotom as the main images on this page! --[[User:HideInTheDark|HideInTheDark]] 18:26, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

== Nintendo ==

We really should just wait for Nintendo to say something. I mean, just because someone says it isn't legendary or it is, doesn't mean that what they say is true or official, because nobody knows for sure, and because Nintendo never said anything about Rotom. (And I don't mean Pokemon.com) [[User:Vik0z0z|vik0z0z]] 19:48, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Still, multiple times it has been referred to as NON-legendary. You may be right, but I'm pretty sure its non-legendary. Nintendo mentioned it once if I'm correct, and the only possible proof that its legendary is that its banned from tournaments. ((User:Megamew/Megamew)) 02:08:13, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I'm MegaMew, and I'm new to bulbapedia. I've been using it for about a year, but I only joined recently. I don't know how to place tags yet, but I will soon. For now, Here is my team.
[[Empoleon]] Lv 100 item: Splash Plate Girl -
[[Darkrai]] Legit Lv 50 item: none -
[[Luxray]] Lv70 item: zap plate Girl -

These are the only three pokemon that are ALWAYS on my team. I will be updating other part time members later.

These are the legendaries I have: Dialga, Palkia, Giratia, Heatran, Darkrai, and Manaphy. All pokemon are legit.
