'''Aura trio''' (Japanese: '''カロス{{Ruby|神話|しんわ}}''' ''Kalos myths'') is a fan term for a [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|group]] of [[Legendary Pokémon]] consisting of {{p|Xerneas}}, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Zygarde}}. Xerneas and Yveltal, often described as a [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon#Legendary_duos|pair]], are known to reside only within the [[Kalos]] [[region]], while Zygarde's [[Zygarde Core|Cores]] and [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]] are scattered across the {{pkmn|world}}, notably in Kalos and [[Alola]].

Xerneas and Yveltal are the [[game mascot]]s of {{g|X and Y}}, respectively. While Zygarde is often decpited as the mascot for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. As a game mascot, Xerneas is depicted in its Active Mode and Zygarde in its Complete Forme.

The three species are representative of life and the ecosystem, more accurately. Xerneas spent a thousand years sleeping in the form of a tree before reviving and sharing eternal life. Yveltal absorbs the {{DL|Death in the Pokémon world|life-force}} of all living things and turns into a cocoon when its life comes to an end. Zygarde awakens when the natural order of the ecosytem is disrupted. Zygarde's Complete Forme is known to surpass the power of both Xerneas and Yveltal. Xerneas is {{pkmn|category|categorized}} as the Life Pokémon and has the [[Ability]] {{a|Fairy Aura}}, while Yveltal, the Destruction Pokémon, has the Ability {{a|Dark Aura}}. Zygarde, categorized as the Order Pokémon, has the Ability {{a|Aura Break}}, reversing the effects of the Fairy and Dark Auras. Stylistically, they are representative of the Latin letters of X, Y, and Z.

==History==
=== Core series games ===
A legend says Xerneas and Yveltal are great forces, being capable of giving and stealing life energy respectively. Xerneas shares life by glowing its horns in seven colors, while Yveltal's feathers near the gray pattern on its chest glow when it is about to steal life energy. When they are at the end of their lifespan, Xerneas releases all of its life energy into all the living things in around it, while Yveltal expands its wings and steals all of the life energy of every living thing around it. Afterwards, they transform into a tree and a cocoon respectively, to sleep for 1,000 years. Zygarde Cells are always monitoring the balance between Xerneas and Yveltal, and whenever it is disrupted or destroyed, Zygarde comes to unleash its wrath. These three Pokémon, according to [[Professor Sycamore]], are "incarnations of nature that take care of the land". Research conducted by [[Mable]] of [[Team Flare]] indicates that Xerneas and Yveltal possess mysterious abilities to manipulate and control [[Infinity Energy|life]], which science has yet to fully understand.<ref>[[Mable]]: "The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]: "These are mysterious abilities that even science has not been able to decode."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> In Pokémon X and Y, there are two legends involving Xerneas and Yveltal as told by a Monsieur in [[Anistar City]] depending on which version.

According to one tale in [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X]], Xerneas used its shining horns to brighten the [[Kalos]] region 800 years ago. During that very moment, both humans and Pokémon were filled with the energy and vitality unleashed by Xerneas. At the same moment, a vast forest was born with Xerneas at the center of it. This legend foretold that when Xerneas reaches the end of its thousand-year lifespan, Xerneas will unleash its remaining life energy and share it with any living things that are near it. A second legend suggests Xerneas appeared 3,000 years ago during a terrible war that engulfed the Kalos region and supposedly rescued every Pokémon that was wounded during the course of it, but it is unknown if this is true. After releasing its remaining energy, Xerneas transformed into a dried-up tree. It has since remained hidden deep within the forest slumbering.

According to one tale in [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon Y]], Yveltal engulfed the [[Kalos]] region in darkness 800 years ago by spreading its ominous wings. Throughout the land, both humans and Pokémon begin to die one by one due to Yveltal's darkness. Afterward, Yveltal lets out a piercing cry before disappearing to an unknown location. The stories say that when Yveltal reaches the end of its thousand-year lifespan, it absorbs the lifeforce of all living things near it in order to transform its own energy. A second legend claimed Yveltal appeared during a terrible war that the Kalos region was in 3,000 years ago. The story claimed a Pokémon appeared during the war and drained the life force out of many living beings, killing them in the process. Some believed the Pokémon was supposedly Yveltal, but it is unknown if this is true. Apparently, when Yveltal finishes storing the life force it obtained, it will transform into a cocoon-like state. There it remains hidden deep within the mountains.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, a legend told in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' says that a long time ago, an oracle named [[Olympica]], had made a prediction that the Yveltal would absorb the life form of all living things. The village's chief decided to send out a man named [[Jan (XYS05)|Jan]] to find and defeat Yveltal, however, the chief's daughter and Jan's lover, [[Aila]], was deeply worried and tried to stop him, but he promised her he'd defeat the Destruction Pokémon. Suddenly however, Yveltal appears and starts fighting Jan, turning the bodies of his {{p|Talonflame}} and Aila into stone by using its {{m|Oblivion Wing}}. Afterwards, Yveltal goes into its cocoon form and falls into a slumber, sucking all the life around it, leaving the area completely devoid of life. Olympica eventually tells Jan about Yveltal's counterpart, Xerneas and instructs him to find it.

Eventually, Jan manages to find Xerneas in its tree form being used by the ruler of a small kingdom, [[Veofum]], who angered by failing to control Xerneas's power, orders his advisor to burn the tree. Jan arrives right in time riding his {{p|Gogoat}}, only to be captured by Veofum's men as he pleads the ruler to put out the fire so Xerneas won't suffer. Suddenly however, many Zygarde Cells start becoming visible around them and then all combine into 50% Form Zygarde to save Xerneas and protect the ecosystem, using {{m|Land's Wrath}} to punish the people and destroy their kingdom, before returning to its cells form. Afterwards, Xerneas returns to its neutral form and leaves as Jan begs it to heal his homeland.

Jan returned in sadness to his homeland to protect it and moves the statue of his lover somewhere else, before encountering Xerneas there once again, that uses its power to heal the lifeless land, returning it to its original glory, but there was nothing it could do for Aila's petrified state, who'd be taken care of by Jan as years passed by. Professor Sycamore believes that both Xerneas and Yveltal are incarnations of nature that take care of the land but when the natural order is undone, Zygarde appears to balance it.

==Moveset comparison==
Xerneas's signature move is {{m|Geomancy}}, a non-damaging Fairy-type move that charges on the first turn. On the second turn, it causes Xerneas's Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed to increase by two stages. Yveltal's signature move is {{m|Oblivion Wing}}, a damage-dealing Flying-type move that inflicts damage on the target and restores the user's HP by 75% of the damage dealt. Zygarde's signature moves are {{m|Land's Wrath}}, {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, and {{m|Thousand Waves}}, damage-dealing Ground-type moves, and {{m|Core Enforcer}}, a damage-dealing Dragon-type move.

Using the [[Reassembly Unit]] in the [[Aether Base]], depending on how many Cells the player has, a Zygarde can be assembled. A Zygarde transferred from X and Y can be separated and be reassembled into a new Zygarde.
*With 10 Cells or Cores a Zygarde 10% Forme with {{a|Aura Break}} can be assembled.
*With 50 Cells or Cores a Zyagrde 50% Forme with {{a|Aura Break}} can be assembled.

:''Main articles: [[Xerneas (M17)]], [[Yveltal (M17)]], [[Squishy]], and [[Z2]]''
====''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''====
Xerneas and Yveltal both debuted ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' as major characters. In the {{pkmn|movie}}, Diancie had a responsibility as the Princess of the [[Diamond Domain]] to maintain the balance of its ecosystem by making a new Heart Diamond. However, as she lacked the power to create a stable Heart Diamond, she sought help from Xerneas, as its Fairy Aura could revitalize energy.

As Diancie's journey began, she bumped into {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, who soon decided to accompany Diancie in her pursuit of Xerneas. As the team pursued the Legendary Pokémon, several thieves—[[Merilyn]], [[Riot]], [[Argus Steel]] and [[Millis Steel]]—were also in pursuit of Diancie to take advantage of her ability to create diamonds. The group were able to catch a moment with Xerneas and bathed under its Fairy Aura, as Xerneas told Diancie that Fairy Aura was not what she needed, but there was a power inside her.

The chase led to [[Allearth Forest]] and the group's activity awakened and enraged the Cocoon of Destruction, Yveltal. Yveltal went on a rampage with its {{m|Oblivion Wing}}, petrifying the thieves and their Pokémon. Yveltal eventually gained on the group, continually firing harmful beams that triggered extreme emotions within Diancie, enabling her to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. Before [[Ash's Pikachu]] was completely petrified by Yveltal, Xerneas appeared to battle it, and its mere presence was able to quell Yveltal's rage. Yveltal finally flew calmly away from the forest. Soon after, Xerneas used its Fairy Aura to revitalize the forest and revive the Pokémon and people petrified, including Pikachu. Xerneas then transformed into its dormant form to look over Allearth Forest for the next thousand years.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
A Xerneas appeared as a silhouette in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''. However, its antlers could clearly be seen.

A Zygarde Core, named Squishy, has a major role in the {{DL|List of Pokémon the Series: XY episodes|XY&Z}} arc of ''Pokémon the Series: XY'' as a target of Team Flare. It traveled with Ash and his friends in {{an|Bonnie}}'s bag for the duration of the arc, bonding with the little girl. Meanwhile, its fellow Zygarde Core, codenamed Z2, was targeted and ultimately captured by Team Flare. At the climax of the series, both Zygarde Cores fell under Team Flare's control and caused devastation around [[Lumiose City]]. Once freed, they joined together into Zygarde Complete Forme to stop the [[Giant Rock]]. Near the end of the series, the two Zygarde Cores recruited [[Ash's Greninja]] to help clean up the aftereffects of the Giant Rock's influence on Kalos.

All three appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback.

In ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', Zygarde was shown to be in its 50% Forme 100 years ago, however, after sacrificing 40% of its [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]] in an attempt to seal away the [[Laquium]], it was forced to stay in its 10% Forme. In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', Zygarde returned to Laqua with Gibeon and regained its Cells, transforming into its 50% Forme once again. Following Gibeon's death, Zygarde was eventually re-{{pkmn2|caught}} by his grandson, [[Amethio]], sometime before ''[[HZ125|Battle for the Six Heroes!]]''. In ''[[HZ134|One Step Closer]]'', Amethio was able reassemble all of Zygarde's Cells, allowing it to assume its Complete Forme. In ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]'', Zygarde was revealed to be capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]], teaming up with the [[Black Rayquaza]] to attack the Laquium Core. After the Core had been erased, Zygarde chose to stay in [[Laqua]].

Towards the end of ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', a Zygarde Complete Forme appeared inside [[Terminus Cave]].

A Yveltal appeared in ''[[PG16|The Beauty Eternal]]''. Like in the climax of Pokémon Y, Yveltal was in its cocooned state and captured by [[Team Flare]], where it was hooked up to the [[ultimate weapon]] so that they could begin the next phase of their plans.

Based on the plot of Pokémon X, a Xerneas appeared in ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', under the ownership of {{ga|Calem}}, who partnered with it to battle against [[Lysandre]]'s {{me|Gyarados}} and won. Lysandre then attempted to use the remaining power of Xerneas left in the [[ultimate weapon]] in attempts to grant Calem, {{ga|Serena}}, [[Shauna]], and himself eternal life.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Xerxer}}
{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
Xerneas in its Active Mode, and Yveltal debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]''. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant tree and cocoon states, which were sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power their [[ultimate weapon]]. Later after being revived from its tree form, Xerneas took on its Neutral Mode. Afterwards, it befriended and was caught by {{adv|Y}} and is nicknamed Xerxer. When Malva arrived and revealed that she had caught Yveltal, the two nearly clashed again before Xerosic stopped them, stating that Lysandre ordered a ceasefire as the powers of the two would cause an endless war. Xerxer agreed with this and escaped carrying Y and her friends.

Later, Xerxer was stolen and taken control of by [[Emma|Essentia]] in [[Anistar City]], where she used it to fight against {{adv|X}} and Y. In the middle of the fight, Zygarde appeared to stop Xerneas. When Zygarde started absorbing power from its surroundings, it let its guard down, allowing Essentia to capture it and escape, though Xerxer was recovered by Y. During the final confrontation against Team Flare, Xerxer and Yveltal fought each other once more, while [[Lysandre]] used Zygarde to battle against {{adv|Blaine}}, {{adv|Mewtwo}}, and X. Meanwhile, Xerneas and Yveltal, knowing that Zygarde was only active due to their own activity alerting it to protect Kalos's ecosystem, chose to return to their dormant states. As a result, Zygarde then gradually disintegrated into small green blobs and disappeared.

Soon after the battle had ended, {{adv|Blue}} and Blaine visited [[Professor Sycamore]] and mentioned to him about seeing a little green silhouette after Zygarde disintegrated into the blobs. Sycamore revealed to them that such green silhouettes, which he dubbed as Zygarde Cells, had also been spotted in the distant region of [[Alola]], and sent [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] to investigate them.

===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
In Alola, Dexio and Sina hired {{adv|Sun}} into collecting Zygarde Cells with the [[Zygarde Cube]]. During the climax of the arc, the Cells and Cores collected by Sun used the Reassembly Unit on {{rt|16|Alola}} to combine to form Zygarde Complete Forme, which assisted {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} in the final battle against {{form|Necrozma|Ultra}} {{adv|Necrozma}} on [[Mount Lanakila]].

===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===
[[Manabu Kadoo|Manabu]] and [[Hiroshi Uratane|Hiroshi]] used a Xerneas and an Yveltal respectively in [[Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!]].

===Movie adaptations===
{{main|Xerneas (M17)}}
{{main|Yveltal (M17)}}
Xerneas and Yveltal appear in the {{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction|manga adaptation}} of the first ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

==Trivia==
* Despite no longer being mandatory story catches, Xerneas and Yveltal have not had their catch rates reduced to the standard 3.
* Each member of the trio has unique distinctions from each other:
** Xerneas is the only member of the trio that:
*** Is single-[[type]].
*** Does not have a [[signature Ability]] as of {{g|Champions}}.
** Yveltal is the only member of the trio to not have an alternate [[form]].
** Zygarde is the only member of the trio that:
*** Is not a [[game mascot]] in the [[core series]].
*** Has two signature Abilities.
*** Has multiple [[signature move]]s.
*** To have a [[Mega Evolution]].
*Xerneas and Yveltal are the only game mascots to not be available or transferrable in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. This is likely due to appearing in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].
*Collectively, the trio may represent the {{wp|Trimurti|Hindu Trimurti}}, with Xerneas representing {{wp|Brahma}}, the god of creation, Yveltal representing {{wp|Shiva}}, the god of destruction, and Zygarde representing {{wp|Vishnu}}, the god of preservation. Notably, Vishnu is known for taking several different forms while carrying out his job maintaining balance in the world, similar to Zygarde.
* The Legendary Pokémon have inconsistent terminology usage:
** In both {{g|X and Y}} and their sequel, {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, Zygarde is often excluded and the naming is left more ambigous, often being simply described as ''Kalos' Legendary Pokémon'' or ''the Legendary Pokémon of the Kalos region''.
** In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]], these being the only Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]], they are referred to generically as "Kalosian Legends".<ref>''"Kalosian Legends: Xerneas, the Life Pokémon, and Yveltal, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos region. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref>
** In [[Pokémon HOME]]'s Kalos [[Research Task (HOME)|Research Tasks]], Xerneas and Yveltal have been referred to as ''Giving and Taking'', referring to their roles in life and destruction. It additionally references [[Lysandre]]'s stance on there being "two types of people".
* X, Y and Z being a recurring theme among them may be a reference to their debut games being the first fully 3D games, as X, Y and Z are coordinates within the Cartesian coordinate system of 3D space.
** Xerneas, whose name starts with the X coordinate denoting the horizontal axis, is based on a terristrial animal.
** Yveltal, whose name starts with the Y denoting the vertical axis, is based on an airborne animal.
** Zygarde, whose name starts with the Z axis denoting the existence of the third dimension and thus depth, is in a prone-to-strike position in its 50% forme.

'''Zygarde''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジガルデ''' ''Zygarde'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has three main [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', and '''Complete Forme'''. Zygarde, exclusively in its Complete Forme, can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zygarde''' using the [[Zygardite]]. All forms of Zygarde are composed of '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''' and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s'''.

Zygarde can switch between its 10% and 50% Formes at the [[Reassembly Unit]] or with the [[Zygarde Cube]]. If its [[Ability]] is {{a|Power Construct}} and its [[HP]] drops below half, then Zygarde in either form will change into its Complete Forme. (Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for these details.)

Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.

Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, having no forme name originally. Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde Complete Forme, as well as the Zygarde Cells and Zygarde Cores, were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Mega Zygarde was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

{{ga|Zygarde}} plays a [[Game mascot|central role]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, serving as one of the game's key figures. A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] plays an important role in the ''[[S19|XY&Z]]'' arc of {{aniseries|XY}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Zygarde Core SM concept art.png|thumb|left|170px|Zygarde Cores make up the brain of the species]]
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of smaller units known as [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s, who collectively define its appearance and power by assembling in different percentages. In all of Zygarde's forms, the various Cores and Cells are represented as green and black hexagons that glow when it attacks. It has also been shown to be able to fly in all of its forms.

Zygarde is the guardian of the [[Pokémon world]]'s ecosystem,<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: ''"It is said this [[Legendary Pokémon]] is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> and is responsible for monitoring it for abnormalities from caves such as [[Kalos]]'s [[Terminus Cave]] and [[Alola]]'s [[Resolution Cave]]. Zygarde is described as a being that seeks to correct excess, find moderation, and restore balance. It is capable of {{a|Aura Break|reversing}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"[[Kalos]]ian Legends: {{p|Xerneas}}, the Life Pokémon, and {{p|Yveltal}}, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos [[region]]. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> Normally, Zygarde avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Pokémon Y | Legendary Pokémon!] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ archived])</ref> It is also known to ask for [[human]]s to assist it in protecting the ecosystem when necessary, but can still be wary of those it does not trust. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the animated series, a Zygarde Core and two Zygarde in their 50% Forme have had the green coloration on their bodies changed to red as a result of the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon; moreover, all of their formes were depicted as capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.

Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{m|Land's Wrath}}, {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, {{m|Thousand Waves}}, and {{m|Core Enforcer}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Aura Break}} and {{a|Power Construct}} as its {{Abilities}}.

===Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells===

| class="roundy" width="50%" style="background:#{{unknown color light}}; padding:5px" | {{color2|000|Zygarde Core}} [[File:718Zygarde-Core.png|100px]]

|}
Physically, a Zygarde Core and a Zygarde Cell are almost identical. Both are small, green, cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their bodies are gelatinous, semitranslucent, and can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: Cores have a black pupil and a red hexagon embedded inside their abdomen, while these are both green on Cells.

On their own, neither Cores nor Cells have the power to battle, needing to assemble in order to take action. The Cells exist in far greater numbers than the Cores and, therefore, make up the majority of any given form of Zygarde. However, they lack wills of their own and can only act in accordance to the orders of a Core. The Cores act as Zygarde's brain,<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Zygarde's Cores and Cells | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archived])</ref> and Zygarde may have up to five of them. It can also use its Cells for [[move|attacks]], such as raining them down like {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} or scattering them throughout the ground in {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}} before they're recalled into its body. When Zygarde exhausts all of its power, it splits back into individual Cores and Cells and scatters all over the world, reaching even far-off lands. While in this state, they absorb the native power of said lands and may request assistance from [[human]]s in order to reassemble.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the light of [[ultimate weapon]]... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the power of those lands and seeking [[human]]s who would give it aid."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> As seen in various media, the Zygarde Cells demonstrated some form of will of their own and are capable of moving independently, without a Zygarde Core commanding them.

===Forms===
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.

====10% Forme====
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Zygarde's 10% Forme]]
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black hexagonal extensions: two on the back of each elbow, one behind each knee, and two on each hip. One of the hip extensions is longer than the other on each hip.

Zygarde's 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archived])</ref> It is created when only a tenth of its Cells have gathered, and is the result of its Cores calling Cells across the land when it needs to fight.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 Zygarde 10% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Zygarde 10% Forme contains only one Core. It is skilled at close-range combat, overwhelming its opponents by leaping at their chests and sinking its sharp fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 mph (100 km/h). However, it cannot maintain this form indefinitely, and it will eventually fall apart. Concept art of Zygarde shows that it can wrap its "leash" around the arm of someone it trusts.
{{left clear}}

====50% Forme====
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. Most of its back, head, and neck are black, while the underbelly and the tip of its tail are green. Its eyes are made of four green hexagons, similar to an insect with {{wp|compound eye}}s, and there is a thin, white line down the center of its face. Across the back of its neck is a large frill made of five long, flat protrusions that each have two small, green hexagons on them. There are three short tendrils on either side of its chest; they are black on the right and green on the left. Its tail also ends in five tendrils. It has several small, green hexagons on its body that occasionally glow white.

Zygarde 50% Forme is assembled from half of its Cores and Cells reuniting.<ref>[http://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Zygarde 50% Forme can contain up to 3 Cores. Despite only using half of its full potential, its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ Zygarde 50% Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ archived])</ref> The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless. There are rumors that an even greater power lies hidden within it, being capable of {{a|Power Construct|changing}} to a more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem. Its frill can be shown vibrating as it attacks. As seen in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde 50% Forme can summon and control massive roots for attacks and covering areas.

====Complete Forme====
Zygarde Complete Form is a large, humanoid Pokémon. There are several flat protrusions around its head and triangular protrusions around its neck. These protrusions create a crown shape. On its face are three white hexagonal marks: one in the middle of its forehead with a line through it and two that act as eyes. There are an additional five green hexagons on its face: four along the bottom and one in the middle of a short protrusion on top. Each shoulder has two serpentine wings protruding from it. The wings all have an undulating pattern and a hexagon near the tip: blue on the right side and red on the left. There are multiple white protrusions on its body: three on each hand acting as claws, one on each knee, and one and the front of each foot. Additionally, there are green hexagons surrounding its wrists and two under the white protrusions on its knees and feet. Its abdomen has a vertical, hexagonal pattern with a thin, white line on either side. Across its chest is a thin, zigzagging mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's.

The Complete Forme is Zygarde's perfected form, created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. In this state, Zygarde can fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the ecosystem by suppressing those who willingly endanger it. Zygarde Complete Forme contains 5 Cores, one for each of its wings and its tail. Despite all of them being in a single body, each Core can make decisions and act independently of the others.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160715204745/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archived])</ref> The Zygarde Cores can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles. Notably, the tip of its wings can form snake-like heads that can be used to attack with energy beams, propel itself, and restore an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal, as seen in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. The zigzagging mouth on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it, even firing energy beams from within it.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Zygarde Complete Forme | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> It has also been shown to form a green, protective barrier to shield itself and its allies. It has also been shown using Core Enforcer as a rush attack, leaving a Z-shaped carving in its opponents while dashing through them before it explodes. The Complete Forme is only used to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s [[Giant Rock]], the [[Laquium|Laquium Core]], the [[ultimate weapon]], [[Ultra Burst|Ultra]] {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}. It is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}}.

====Mega Zygarde====
Overall, Mega Zygarde retains most of Zygarde Complete Forme's humanoid structure, but the Cells composing its body have been strategically relocated. Notably, it has lost most, if not all, of the hexagons composing Zygarde Complete Forme's lower body, arms, and wings, exposing its light green body. As a result of this, Mega Zygarde has completely lost its wings, having seemingly replaced them with six smaller arm-like structures. On its legs, only the three hexagons on each knee remain, though they changed from symmetrical white and green to asymmetrical black and white. The lower part of Zygarde Complete Forme's chest, starting from the multicolored mouth, has also opened, giving the impression it has ripped into strands of black hexagons similar to tree roots. The green, eye-like patterns on its chest now have each a differently colored hexagon on them (one red, one blue). Underneath the chest plate, a series of five white hexagons cover the true body. White, chain-like hexagonal patterns run down Mega Zygarde's uncovered torso, arms, and legs, as well as on its back and under its feet. Its arms don't end in hands, but split into three hexagonal digits. Mega Zygarde's headpiece and tail remain mostly unchanged from its base form, only having lost the green hexagons on its face and having more of those on its tail. Its crown is lit up by a green flame, and its eyes are green as well.

Mega Zygarde is said to be born as a result of people's emotions during an unprecedented crisis, allowing it to calm the situation with its unmatched power. Its defining feature is the giant cannon held above Mega Zygarde's head by its six smaller arms. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, somewhat resembling a tree trunk, decorated with several shapes and lines similar to Zygarde 10% Forme's leash. The cannon is mostly black, with dark blue and dark red patches circling its length. At the cannon's muzzle, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Its interior features a circle, three hexagons, and a central circle, while its back has a dark green hexagon at the center. When Mega Zygarde attacks with its cannon, the muzzle pattern shines in the shape of an "X", "Y", and "Z" before opening up, unleashing a {{m|Nihil Light|beam of light that defies nature itself}}, which has been likened to the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] [[region]].<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]—they reminded me of [[Z-Moves]], like those used in the [[Alola]] region."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Such an attack was powerful enough to overpower Hyperrogue Ange Floette's powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which threatened to annihilate all of [[Lumiose City]], as well as to break through the [[Laquium]] Core's defenses and heavily damage it, as seen in ''[[HZ136|Stellar Finale]]''. It has been referred to as "Lumiose's Guardian"<ref>[[Research Task (HOME)|Kalos Region Tasks]]</ref> due to it saving Lumiose City from Hyperrogue Ange Floette.

Mega Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Nihil Light}}, an upgraded version of {{m|Core Enforcer}}.

{{Candy|Zygarde}}10 and {{Stardust}}2,000 are needed to change Complete Forme Zygarde into its 50% Forme.

Zygarde cannot be [[Released Pokémon#Pokémon GO|transferred]], [[Trade (GO)|traded]], or transferred to {{g|HOME}} via the [[GO Transporter]].
|}

===Form data===
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s appear in the story in some games, but they are not catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are not included in the [[Pokédex]]; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.

In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form is its 50% Forme, which was unnamed at the time. The 10% Forme and Complete Forme were introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. It can switch between its 10% Forme and 50% Forme using the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]], and can enter its Complete Forme in {{pkmn|battle}} if it has {{a|Power Construct}}.

Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can have {{a|Aura Break}} or Power Construct as their [[Ability]]. Internally, Zygarde's Ability difference is itself a separate form. This makes it impossible to change Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the Reassembly Unit or the Zygarde Cube must be used instead.

;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde can only have {{a|Aura Break}} as an [[Ability]] and has no other forms.

In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break can be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine can create a 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break or change a 10% Forme Zygarde with Aura Break to a 50% Forme Zygarde. It can also change either to a 50% Forme Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}.

Since [[Generation VIII]], the [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function can change Zygarde with Aura Break between 10% Forme and 50% Forme. Its "Change Ability" function can also change its Ability to Power Construct.

;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function ("Change Forme" in Generation VII) can change Zygarde with Power Construct between 10% Forme and 50% Forme. Since Generation VIII, its "Change Ability" function can also change its Ability to Aura Break.

Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. When the battle ends, it returns to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).

Zygarde has a unique form change animation when changing to its Complete Forme, which shows Zygarde Cells (represented by green hexagons) gathering to change its form.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], due to the lack of Abilities, the distinction between Zygarde with Aura Break and Zygarde with Power Construct does not exist. Instead, any 10% Forme or 50% Forme Zygarde will change into Complete Forme when its HP is reduced to half or less, increasing its maximum HP and gaining current HP equal to the amount of maximum HP gained. If Zygarde's HP is reduced below the threshold while it is using a [[move]], it will transform when the move finishes. Zygarde is invulnerable while changing into Complete Forme. It will change back to its previous form if it is recalled while out of battle, retaining the HP it had at that time; if this is above the maximum HP of its original form, its HP will become equal to its maximum HP.

Zygarde's [[base stats]] differ between its three forms. Additionally, it can only [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] when it is in its Complete Forme. If it knows the move {{m|Core Enforcer}} when it Mega Evolves, the move will be replaced with {{m|Nihil Light}} until the Mega Evolution ends.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}
Zygarde debuted in ''[[PS584|Hawlucha Attacks]]''. It first appeared in [[Anistar City]], where it was {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Emma|Essentia]]. It was later used by her against [[Team Flare]]'s enemies at [[Pokémon Village]]. Eventually, she started to rebel, prompting [[Lysandre]] to take direct control of Zygarde. When [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} reverted to their dormant forms, Zygarde lost the need to keep itself active and disintegrated.

Zygarde also played a notable role in the {{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}. Having been sent to [[Alola]] to find it, [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] hired {{adv|Sun}} to gather the Zygarde Cells and Cores scattered around Alola. During the climax of the arc, Zygarde used the Reassembly Unit on {{rt|16|Alola}} to transform into its Complete Forme, before joining the battle against {{adv|Necrozma}} at [[Mount Lanakila]] alongside {{adv|Solgaleo}} and {{DL|Nebby|Pokémon Adventures|Lunala}}.

===Origin===
Zygarde's 10%, 50%, and Complete Formes may be inspired in part by the three children of {{wp|Loki}} and {{wp|Angrboða}} in {{wp|Norse mythology}}: {{wp|Fenrir}}, {{wp|Jörmungandr}}, and {{wp|Hel (being)|Hel}}.

Zygarde 10% Forme may be based on the wolf Fenrir. The green leash-like object around its neck could be based on {{wp|Gleipnir}}, the rope that binds Fenrir. Its left front paw has a different color from the others, being green instead of black, which is possibly a reference to Fenrir biting off the god {{wp|Týr}}'s right hand in reprisal for being bound by him. This forme could also draw inspiration from {{wp|Garmr}}, the watchdog that guards {{wp|Hel (location)|Helheim}}'s gate. In appearance, it resembles a {{wp|Dobermann|Doberman Pinscher}}.

Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance may be based on a serpent in the shape of the letter Z. It may also draw inspiration from Jörmungandr, a sea serpent that encircles the earth; and {{wp|Níðhöggr}}, a dragon that gnaws at the roots of {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, the world tree. Jörmungandr is said to "dwell in the world sea, encircling the Earth (Midgard)", which may allude to Zygarde's {{t|Ground}} type ("Earth") and the 50% Forme being the middle forme ("Midgard"). Its flat shape and wriggling movement may be inspired by the {{wp|tsuchinoko}}, a Japanese {{wp|yokai}}, often described as being snake-like. The "crown" behind it makes it resemble depictions of {{wp|Shesha}}.

According to model sheet of Zygarde Complete Forme for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it may also form a stylized letter Z when it lifts its cape over its head to attack. This forme of Zygarde may be based on Hel, the ruler of {{wp|Helheim}}, the realm of the dead in Nordic myth. The colors on its Complete Forme's chest match the colors of the real-world {{wp|flag of France}}, the country which inspired the [[region]] of [[Kalos]]. These three colors match Kalos' pentagonal emblem that is split between three sections matching each section of Kalos' sub regions: blue on the left depicting [[List of Pokémon by Coastal Kalos Pokédex number|Coastal Kalos]], red on the right depicting [[List of Pokémon by Mountain Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos]], and white in the middle depicting [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|Central Kalos]]. The blue and red colors also match the colors of {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Design-wise, it resembles a humanoid {{wp|Mecha anime and manga|giant mecha}} despite its organic basis; its light-up technological appearance, "transforming"/"combining" gimmick, and the face-like pattern on its chest are all tropes commonly used for fictional mecha.

Mega Zygarde's cannon might be based on either a railgun or a laser cannon. As Mega Zygarde is styled after its Complete Forme, it may also resemble a stylized Z and a mech, with its cannon posed where the "head" of the Z is placed. Similarly, many of its hexagonal patterns are also blue and red, representative of Xerneas and Yveltal, justified the X, Y and Z markings on the front of its cannon.

[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells or other single-celled organisms, such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}'', as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|planarian}}). The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}. The concept of the different forms of Zygarde being composed of smaller individuals useless by themselves may be based off {{wp|Colony (biology|colonial organisms}}. Zygarde's themes of the ecological balance of life may be thematically inspired by {{wp|zygote}}s, a type of cell that forms first development stage of an animal's life span. Zygarde's [[Form|forme change]] from its snake-like appearance in 50% Forme into its human-like Complete Forme may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures that may feature human-like qualities.

====Name origin====
Zygarde begins with the letter {{wp|Z}}, following the pattern established by {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. It may also be derived from ζυγωτός ''zygōtos'' (Greek for "joined") or ''{{wp|zygote}}'', ''garde'' (French for "guard"), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).

'''Garganacl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キョジオーン''' ''Kyojiohn'') is a {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Naclstack}} starting at [[level]] 38. It is the final form of {{p|Nacli}}.

==Biology==
Garganacl is a large, bipedal Pokémon primarily made up of {{a|Sturdy|compact}} rock salt and sedimentary rock. Its head has a rugged look and two eyes shaped like right angles. Each of the eyes are orange in color with yellow squares at their centers, and they can glow an orange-red. Garganacl's shoulders comprise tall three-stepped structures made up of blocks of white rock salt, below which its arms connect to. These stepped structures completely cover Garganacl's head from the sides. A taller block of salt is also present behind Garganacl's head.

Garganacl's arms and legs are rugged and blocky, and they are similar in appearance and length, with the arms reaching close to the ground due to their location on the body. The upper limbs are dark brown at the base, while the forelimbs are decorated in stripes of lighter brown, before ending in white. Garganacl's hands have three fingers each. Garganacl's torso is really short in comparison to its limbs; it is brown and about as large as its head, with a white block of rock salt on the pelvic area that its legs connect to. Square patches of salt dot the entirety of Garganacl's body. Garganacl's salt is rich in minerals and known to have medicinal properties. One of Garganacl's restorative elements from the salt is useful for maintaining one's health. Garganacl will scrape its fingertips together to share its salt with injured Pokémon, which can heal them quickly. Many Pokémon gather around Garganacl in hopes to lick up its salt.

Garganacl and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Naclstack}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Salt Cure}}. Garganacl and its pre-evolved forms are also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Purifying Salt}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Garganacl evolves from {{p|Naclstack}} and is the final form of {{p|Nacli}}.

==Trivia==
* Garganacl's evolutionary line was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1604786117487853568 Hitoshi Ariga on Twitter]</ref>
* Garganacl was included in a challenge featuring commonly mispronounced Pokémon names in the 2026 Latin America International Championships, where the pronunciation of its name was given as "GAHR-ga-NAK-al".<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/DRVDd_XkgsW/?img_index=8]</ref>

===Origin===

Garganacl is based on {{wp|Halite|rock salt}} crystals and {{wp|Sedimentary rock|sedimentary layers}} of bedrock,<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1605483704565895170 Hitoshi Ariga on Twitter]</ref> as evidenced by its arms and legs having the layered pattern of {{wp|Stratum|strata}}. Garganacl's physique resembles a large bipedal creature, perhaps specifically Hebrew {{wp|golem}}s given its role as a gentle earth-based creature. The structures on Garganacl's shoulders resemble a {{wp|ziggurat}} or a Canary pyramid like the {{wp|Pyramids of Güímar}}, although they could also reference how salt can form {{wp|hopper crystal}}s or pyramid crystals, which are often found in high-end brands of coarse salt. Garganacl's glowing eyes may be based on {{wp|Salt lamp|Himalayan salt lamps}}.

Garganacl being able to heal injured Pokémon with its salt may be a play on both the term "salt curing" (the word "cure" meaning to restore health, as well as to preserve food) and the idiom "{{wp|wiktionary:rub salt in the wound|to rub salt in the wound}}", meaning to make worse an injury or ailment. It may also be inspired by historical and modern {{wp|saline (medicine)|medical uses for salt}}. Its cry being a grunted version of three notes in the [[Pokémon Center]]'s leitmotif may refer to this healing ability.

====Name origin====
Garganacl may be a combination of ''gargantuan'' and ''NaCl'' (chemical formula for {{wp|sodium chloride}}; table salt). It may also borrow from ''tabernacle''.

Kyojiohn may be a combination of 巨人 ''kyojin'' (giant), 塩 ''shio'' (salt), and ''geo-'' (prefix for earth).

'''Dubwool''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バイウールー''' ''Baiwooluu'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Wooloo}} starting at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
Dubwool is an {{wp|sheep|ovine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, with most of its body covered by a round coat of white wool with some black patches around it. It has a gray woolly ring around its head from which two small curved horns extrude below its head. Dubwool's head is mostly black with a white patch surrounding its mouth and nose and extending to its forehead in three petal-like tips. It has two larger, longer, dark horns on top of its head which curve backwards. Its nose is pink and its eyes are yellow with black irises and white horizontal pupils with small gray eyebrows above them. Its legs are black with a visible ankle and with brown hooves. It also has a short, black, pointy tail.

Dubwool's wool is very springy. Its horns serve the purpose of attracting the opposite gender rather than being used in battles. Dubwool are known to mysteriously disappear whenever a {{p|Beheeyem}} visits.

===Evolution===
Dubwool evolves from {{p|Wooloo}}.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Dubwool may be based on the {{wp|Jacob sheep}}, a British breed of domestic sheep notable for its four horns and black-and-white color scheme. They also resemble the once gone [https://www.thearchaeologist.org/blog/ancient-viking-sheep-return-the-four-horned-survivors-of-britains-past| Viking sheep], which similarly has two large horns pointing outward and two curling inwards, as well as white wool with black patches. The shape of its wool and the pattern on it resembles a {{wp|Ball (association football)|soccer ball}}.

====Name origin====
Dubwool may be a combination of ''double'' and ''wool''.

Baiwooluu may be a combination of 倍 ''bai'' (twice), ''wool'', and ''Wooluu'' ({{p|Wooloo}}'s Japanese name).

'''Mareep''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メリープ''' ''Merriep'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Flaaffy}} starting at [[level]] 15, which evolves into {{p|Ampharos}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
[[File:Sugimori Mareep AG.jpg|thumb|left|250px|''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' reference sheet]]
Mareep is an {{wp|sheep|ovine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with fluffy cream-colored wool covering its entire body, as well as a curly tuft of wool in the middle of its head. Its head is blue, and it has small brown eyes. Its four feet are blue and have two digits on each foot, and it appears to be on tiptoe at all times. Its conical ears and tail have a yellow-and-black striped pattern. Mareep has an orange sphere at the end of its tail, which acts like a small light bulb. This sphere glows brighter the more electricity and heat it has.

Mareep's wool grows continuously and stores electricity, rubbing together and building a static charge. Its volume increases when it builds up with electricity. Touching the wool when it is charged will result in a static shock. During the summer, the fleece is shed, but it grows back in a week. Air is also stored in its fur, which allows it to stay cool during summer and warm during winter. It tends to avoid {{pkmn|battle}}s in the wild and has a mild disposition. Mareep is most often found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy fields}}, though it can also be found in farms where its wool is used to make high-quality clothing. Clothing made from Mareep's wool builds up static electricity easily, and as such, a special process has to be used on it. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Mareep is known to roll over in its sleep.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Evolution===
Mareep evolves into {{p|Flaaffy}}, which evolves into {{p|Ampharos}}.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Mareep is based on a {{wp|sheep}}.<ref name=InsideGamer>O., Jack (2019). "[https://inside.gamer.nl/in-gesprek-met-ohmori-en-masuda-over-pokemon-sword-en-shield/ In gesprek met Ohmori en Masuda over Pokémon Sword en Shield]." ''Inside.Gamer.nl'' (Dutch)</ref> Its yellowish wool might be inspired by the {{wp|Golden Fleece}} in {{wp|Greek mythology|Greek}} and {{wp|Roman mythology}}. It is also likely that its {{t|Electric}} type is a reference to how wool is able to build up static charges. Mareep and its evolved forms may also have been based on the title of the sci-fi novel ''{{wp|Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?}}''. It being an electric sheep may be a pun on the words "lamb" and "lamp".

====Name origin====
Mareep may be a combination of ''Mary'' (from the nursery rhyme "{{wp|Mary Had a Little Lamb}}") and ''{{wp|sheep}}''. ''Mareep'' is also an anagram of ''{{wp|ampere}}'', a unit of electric current.

Merriep may be a combination of ''merry'', メー ''mē'' (the sound made by sheep), or ''Mary'' and ''sheep''.

'''Dubwool''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バイウールー''' ''Baiwooluu'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Wooloo}} starting at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
Dubwool is an {{wp|sheep|ovine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, with most of its body covered by a round coat of white wool with some black patches around it. It has a gray woolly ring around its head from which two small curved horns extrude below its head. Dubwool's head is mostly black with a white patch surrounding its mouth and nose and extending to its forehead in three petal-like tips. It has two larger, longer, dark horns on top of its head which curve backwards. Its nose is pink and its eyes are yellow with black irises and white horizontal pupils with small gray eyebrows above them. Its legs are black with a visible ankle and with brown hooves. It also has a short, black, pointy tail.

Dubwool's wool is very springy. Its horns serve the purpose of attracting the opposite gender rather than being used in battles. Dubwool are known to mysteriously disappear whenever a {{p|Beheeyem}} visits.

===Evolution===
Dubwool evolves from {{p|Wooloo}}.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Dubwool may be based on the {{wp|Jacob sheep}}, a British breed of domestic sheep notable for its four horns and black-and-white color scheme. They also resemble the once gone [https://www.thearchaeologist.org/blog/ancient-viking-sheep-return-the-four-horned-survivors-of-britains-past| Viking sheep], which similarly has two large horns pointimg outward and two curling inwards, as well as white wool with black patches. The shape of its wool and the pattern on it resembles a {{wp|Ball (association football)|soccer ball}}.

====Name origin====
Dubwool may be a combination of ''double'' and ''wool''.

Baiwooluu may be a combination of 倍 ''bai'' (twice), ''wool'', and ''Wooluu'' ({{p|Wooloo}}'s Japanese name).

'''Floette''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フラエッテ''' ''Floette'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Flabébé}} starting at [[level]] 19 and evolves into {{p|Florges}} when exposed to a [[Shiny Stone]].

Floette has five [[#Form data|forms]], each named for the color of its flower: '''Red Flower''', '''Yellow Flower''', '''Orange Flower''', '''Blue Flower''', and '''White Flower'''. It also has a unique sixth form named '''Eternal Flower''', which first appeared in {{g|X and Y}} but was not legitimately obtainable until {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. Unlike regular Floette, Eternal Flower is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, but can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Floette''' using the [[Floettite]]. Mega Floette was introduced in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Regular Floette cannot Mega Evolve.

An [[AZ's Floette|Eternal Flower Floette]] serves as an important character during the events of {{g|X and Y}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Floette Forms TCG.png|thumb|250px|left|Floette's regular forms as seen in the [[Floette (Flashfire 65)|TCG]]]]
Floette is a small, {{wp|fairy}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its head, upper torso, arms, and mitten-like hands are white, and its lower body is green, ending in a spade-shaped tail. It has beady eyes, each with a leaf-like, green extension sprouting from the top, resembling a long eyelash. Its ears are long, slightly droopy, and heart-shaped at the end, with a yellow ring around each base. Two thin, black lines run across the top of its head. Floette is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

Notably, Floette floats around while holding a flower like a parasol. The flower has a long, light green {{wp|Peduncle (botany)|peduncle}} with a single leaf, three {{wp|stamen}}s with rounded, yellow anthers, and five rounded petals, which can be red, yellow, orange, blue, or white, depending on the color of the flower it held as a {{p|Flabébé}}.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/other_pokemon/#Floette Floette | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160403204716/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/other_pokemon/#Floette archived])</ref> Floette can be often found near flowerbeds, tending for the flowers that begun wilting, restoring the health of withered ones, and celebrating new blossomings. It is said to mercilessly attack and never forgive anyone who messes up a flower bed. Floette cannot use [[move]]s by its own; instead, it first needs to synchronize with the flower it holds through wavelengths of visible light, exchanging powers with the flower in order to draw out the power it hides. Thanks to this, it can draw forth the latent capabilities of {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in addition to becoming able to use Grass-type moves itself. Floette can more effectively synchronize with a flower if its color matches the one produced by the wavelength it uses, with White Flower Floette being said to easily sync with differently-colored flowers. Additionally, the more gorgeous the flower, the more power that it contains for Floette to use.

Prior to [[Generation VII]], Floette and its [[Evolution|evolutionary]] relatives were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Flower Veil}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} as {{Abilities}}.

====Eternal Flower====
[[File:AZ's Floette Resurrected.png|left|250px|thumb|[[AZ]]'s Floette being resurrected]]
A [[AZ's Floette|particular Floette]] has a sixth, unique form called Eternal Flower. Differing from regular Floette, it has a blue lower body and eyelashes and red rings surrounding the bases of its ears.

Eternal Flower Floette holds a completely different flower known as the "Eternal Flower", which is said to no longer bloom anywhere in the world, having gone extinct in ancient times. Despite that, a flower of the same kind can still be found in [[Sootopolis City]] in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], under a great tree [[AZ]] planted 1,000 years ago. It has three black petals with a red and black pattern on the top, three red sepals, a red, leafless stem, and a black, conical pistil, and seems to have been the inspiration for the appearance of the [[ultimate weapon]]. The Eternal Flower is said to harbor terrifying power, though Floette swings it about innocently. Eternal Flower Floette is over 3,000 years old as a result of being resurrected and inadvertently granted eternal life by AZ's machine, which would soon become the ultimate weapon; possibly due to this, it is unable to [[Evolution|evolve]].<ref>[[AZ]]: ''"My Floette cannot [[Evolution|evolve]]... Perhaps because she is such a special {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, having received the lives of so many others... Though that is only my conjecture."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> It is also intimately related to [[Ange]], a machine built by AZ to use the eternal life he had bestowed on Floette.

Eternal Flower Floette is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Light of Ruin}}.
{{left clear}}

====Mega Floette====
[[File:Mega Floette Rainbow Orb.jpg|259px|thumb|right|Mega Floette forming a rainbow orb around [[Taunie]] to carry her]]
Eternal Flower Floette can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Floette.

As a result of Mega Evolution, the Eternal Flower has doubled in size and its anatomy has become more complex: it no longer has sepals, and the petals are now surrounded by the rims of a larger petal. The inner petals are mostly red, while the outer petals are mostly black, with a thin, black structure connecting these parts and ending in a pointed tip. Near the tips of the outer petals, a blue pattern runs along the rims. It has three jagged stigmata ending in blue tips. The stem has grown much longer and still connects to the central part of the corolla, but it now has three smaller branches supporting the inner petals. Prior to this branching point, the stem becomes more braided in appearance and wraps itself to Mega Floette's lower body.

AZ's Floette is the only one of its kind capable of Mega Evolving, possibly due to being unable to evolve as a result of being revived by his machine. The Eternal Flower has absorbed all of the Mega Evolution energy; as a result, it developed a will separate from that of Mega Floette, becoming capable of attacking on its own. According to AZ, Mega Floette is the only one who can control Ange and, by harnessing its power, assist it in assuming its true form: Ange Floette.<ref>[[AZ]]: ''"Once Floette has [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]], she can take on the power of the tower—the power of [[Ange]]. Then the tower can assume the form it was always intended to take: Ange Floette."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> However, it can lose control of the device should there be an excess of [[Mega Power]], resulting in Ange entering a state similar to [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], named {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}, and causing an explosion of such events. Moreover, Mega Floette can transport [[human]]s by enveloping both them and itself within a rainbow orb. It has been referred to as "The Eternal Flower".<ref>[[Research Task (HOME)|Kalos Region Tasks]]</ref>

{{main|AZ's Floette}}
* An Eternal Flower Floette is an important character in {{g|X and Y}}. 3,000 years prior, [[AZ]]'s Floette died during a great war in [[Kalos]]. Overcome by grief, he created a [[Ultimate weapon|machine]] that resurrected Floette, inadvertently making both of them immortal in the process. Upon learning that the machine was fueled by the lives of many other Pokémon, she left him. Floette returned to AZ after 3,000 years, once he had finally let go of his sorrow.
** Floette returns in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, helping AZ run [[Hotel Z]] and establish a relationship with [[Team MZ]]. With the threat of [[Ange]] entering a [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega-Evolved state]], the {{player}} and [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] climb the ranks of the [[Z-A Royale]] in order to be recognized as the strongest [[Mega Evolution]] user, capable of unleashing the true power of Mega Floette. Floette is able to be obtained by the player after the main story.

===Form data===
Floette has five non-interchangeable forms, each with one of five different flower colors: Red Flower, Yellow Flower, Orange Flower, Blue Flower, and White Flower. The flower color is maintained through [[Evolution]] from {{p|Flabébé}} and into {{p|Florges}}, and cannot be changed.

In certain games, certain forms can only be obtained by evolving the correct Flabébé:
* In {{g|X and Y}}, Orange and White Flower Floette can only be obtained by evolving an Orange and White Flower Flabébé, respectively. The other forms appear in the wild, but only as options in specific [[Friend Safari]]s. Additionally, this means that Orange and White Flower Flabébé, Floette, and Florges cannot legally have their [[Hidden Ability]], {{a|Symbiosis}}, in [[Generation VI]].
* In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, Yellow Flower Floette can only be obtained by evolving a Yellow Flower Flabébé. The other forms appear in the wild, with Orange and White Flower Floette only appearing as allies during [[SOS Battle]]s. Blue Flower Floette is the only one to not appear as an ally during battle, meaning it is the only one that cannot be caught with its Hidden Ability, Symbiosis, in [[Generation VII]].

In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, only Red Flower Floette is available.

;Eternal Flower
Floette has a sixth form called Eternal Flower. Despite being present in the data in the [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} games, it was unobtainable until [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. This form does not exist at all in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

Unlike Floette's other forms, Eternal Flower Floette cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]], does not have the [[Hidden Ability]] {{a|Symbiosis}}, and can learn the move {{m|Light of Ruin}} at [[level]] 50. Additionally, all of its [[base stats]] are greater than those of a regular Floette, and it has a different [[cry]] from Floette's other forms. Eternal Flower Floette is the only form of Floette that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]; its Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

==Trivia==
* All forms of Floette have [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|unique base stat totals]]:
** Floette is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 371.
** Eternal Flower Floette is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 551.
** Mega Floette is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 651.
* Mega Floette is the [[List of Pokémon by height|smallest]] [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon, being only 0'08" (0.2 m) tall.
* Floette is the only non-fully evolved Pokémon capable of Mega Evolving, though only in its Eternal Flower form, which is incapable of evolving into or from any Pokémon.
* Despite only Eternal Flower Floette being able to Mega Evolve, Mega Floette's [[cry]] is based on that of regular Floette.
* Excluding Mega Evolutions, Floette and its evolutionary relatives are the only {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon introduced prior to [[Generation VIII]] that cannot be obtained in any Generation VIII game.
* Mega Floette is the Mega Evolution that proportionately increases the most in weight, growing over 110 times heavier.
* Although the Eternal Flower is said to have died out, one can be seen growing near [[Sootopolis City]]'s [[Cave of Origin]], next to a tree [[AZ]] planted in the past.
* Despite being present in the data of all [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} games, as well as {{g|HOME}}, the form name "Eternal Flower" was not officially revealed until [[Pokémon Day#2025|Pokémon Day 2025]], 4,156 days (over 11 years) after the release of {{g|X and Y}}.<ref>[https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1895129369539969220 Post by the official Pokémon account on X], "Eternal Flower Floette is said to have lived for 3,000 years."</ref>
* Even though it was unobtainable in the games at the time, Eternal Flower Floette appears on the cover of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: The Official National Pokédex]].
* In the [[Battle Chateau]], {{tc|Baroness}} Francine's Flabébé uses Floette's cry.
* In [[Pokémon HOME]], Floette's Eternal Flower form only has a [[Pokédex entry]] for [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], lacking entries for the Generation VI and VII games in which it was present but unobtainable (including its unique entries from [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]). This is despite the fact that {{p|Magearna}}'s Original Color form, which was also present but unobtainable in the Generation VII games, does have its entries for those games featured in Pokémon HOME.
**Additionally, Eternal Flower Floette and Mega Floette both lack distinct {{Shiny}} color palettes in Pokémon HOME, despite both forms having a distinct Shiny color palette in both the core series and {{g|Champions}}. This trait is not shared with other [[List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon|unobtainable Shiny Pokémon]], which do have unique Shiny colors in Pokémon HOME.

===Origin===
Floette appears to be based on {{wp|fairy|fairies}} and {{wp|nymph}}s, such as {{wp|Chloris (nymph)|Chloris}} and {{wp|Antheia}}, and how fairies are sometimes depicted flying by holding on to the stems of plants. Its flower is held like a {{wp|parasol}}.

The flower of Eternal Flower Floette resembles a {{wp|Lilium|lily}} or a {{wp|Trillium}}, especially the {{wp|Trillium erectum|red trillium}}. Because of her connection to death and resurrection in the story of [[Pokémon X and Y]], she may also be inspired by the {{wp|Lycoris radiata|red spider lily}}, also known as resurrection lily, which, particularly in Japanese culture, symbolizes death. Eternal Flower Floette's blue, red, and white body matches the colors of the {{wp|Flag of France|French tricolor}}.

The shape of Mega Floette's flower resembles a {{wp|triquetra}}, a symbol commonly associated with Celtic and Nordic culture. The way the flower is directly connected to its body is reminiscent of an {{wp|Umbilical cord|umbilical cord}}, possibly referring to Mega Floette's inability to evolve further.

====Name origin====
Floette may be a combination of ''flower'' and ''floret'', as well as the French {{wp|diminutive}} suffix ''-ette''.

'''Cinderace''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エースバーン''' ''Aceburn'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Raboot}} starting at [[level]] 35. It is the final form of {{p|Scorbunny}}.

Cinderace can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Cinderace''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. Gigantamax Cinderace was introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]].

==Biology==
Cinderace is a bipedal, {{wp|rabbit}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Most of its torso and head, as well as its arms and tail, are white. Cinderace has long white ears, the insides of which are yellow. Its white eyes, which have red-orange irises, have a deep navy pattern below them and yellow eyebrows above them. These eyebrows connect at the nose, which is red-orange, and form a "crown", which connects to the red-orange tuft of hair sticking out from its forehead, similar to a flame. It has two whisker-like tufts of white fur on each side of its face. Over each shoulder is a navy patch of fur, resembling a shoulder brace, which continues down the torso and connect at middle of the chest, creating what resembles a sports tank top. This navy-colored fur is also seen on its lower torso, creating what resembles a belt. The fur on its lower body is colored red-orange and resembles a pair of pants, with yellow pockets and ending in yellow tufts at the knees, with little tufts of fur on the backside of its thighs. Its ankles and feet are colored navy-blue and tipped red-orange at the toes. On the underside of each foot, there are three yellow dots of fur, from which it fires flames when attacking opponents.

By juggling a pebble with its feet, Cinderace can transform it into a burning soccer ball. By putting a spin on the ball, it can launch attacks that its opponents struggle to evade. The shots it fires can leave an opponent [[burn (status condition)|scorched]]. Cinderace has great offensive and defensive capabilities, being one of the best at explosive force, jumping ability, and kicking power. Due to its strong core and great balance, Cinderace can unleash powerful kicks from any position. In battle, it uses artful footwork to feint and throw its opponents off.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/cinderace/ Cinderace | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> This move allows Cinderace to blind its opponents and keeps them at bay. Cinderace can get pumped up with excitement should it get cheered on. However, it may get itself in trouble if it starts showboating. Despite easily losing its cool, it will follow the orders of its Trainer without flaw.

Cinderace is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Pyro Ball}} and {{m|Court Change}}. Cinderace and its pre-evolved forms are also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Libero}} as an [[Ability]], which allows them to change their types. As seen in the {{aniseries|JN}} episode ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'', the tuft of red hair on Cinderace's head changes in color when it changes its type.

===Forms===
As [[Gigantamax]] Cinderace, its body is generally larger with very few alterations, save for its ears which have become longer. It rides on a fireball enlarged by Gigantamax energy, sometimes exceeding 300 feet (90 meters) in size. The fireball has a white nose and eyes, as well as several wisps of fire resembling Cinderace's ears and crown-like eyebrows. Three red clouds float above Gigantamax Cinderace.

Using its well-honed techniques and fighting spirit, Gigantamax Cinderace can make its fireball chase after opponents almost like it has a mind of its own, so it will never miss. Gigantamax Cinderace is said to have the strongest leg strength of any Pokémon. Even without its giant Pyro Ball, it can still overwhelm even a [[Dynamax]] Pokémon by delivering powerful kicking moves.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/gigantamax-cinderace/ Gigantamax Cinderace | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Gigantamax Cinderace is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Fireball}}.

==Trivia==
* Cinderace and its pre-Evolutions are the only pure Fire-type Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

===Origin===
Cinderace seems to be based on a {{wp|rabbit}} or {{wp|hare}} with elements from {{wp|association football}} (soccer) players. With its [[Hidden Ability]], it may be a reference to the {{wp|Defender (association football)#Sweeper (libero)|libero}}, a versatile position in football. Its status as a Galarian starter may refer to the fact that [https://historiana.eu/partners/european-association-of-history-educators/a-little-history-of-football-the-beginnings association football started in England] (and in fact remained a British competition for a while).

====Name origin====
Cinderace may be a combination of ''cinder'' and ''ace''.

Aceburn may be a combination of ''ace'', ''burn'', and ''bunny''.

'''Rotom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ロトム''' ''Rotom'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Rotom has the ability to possess the motors of certain appliances and [[#Form data|change forms]]. It also learns a new [[move]] depending on which appliance it possesses. Rotom's form can be changed by allowing it to possess the appliances in [[Rotom's Room]] or from the appliances ordered from the [[Rotom Catalog]].

* When it has not possessed any appliance or is possessing a {{wp|Electric light|light bulb}}, it is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}, and learns {{m|Thunder Shock}} if the move it had in its other forms is the only one it knows.
* When it possesses a {{wp|microwave oven}}, it becomes '''Heat Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Fire}}, and learns {{m|Overheat}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|washing machine}}, it becomes '''Wash Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Water}}, and learns {{m|Hydro Pump}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|refrigerator}}, it becomes '''Frost Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Ice}}, and learns {{m|Blizzard}}.
* When it possesses an {{wp|Fan (machine)|electric fan}}, it becomes '''Fan Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Flying}}, and learns {{m|Air Slash}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|lawn mower}}, it becomes '''Mow Rotom''', is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Grass}}, and learns {{m|Leaf Storm}}.
* When it possesses a {{wp|boombox|mini stereo system}}, it becomes '''Stereo Rotom''', and is dual-type {{2t|Electric|Normal}}. This form appears exclusively in {{g|Pokopia}} as a character named [[DJ Rotom]].

In [[Generation IV]], Rotom had {{t|Ghost}} as its secondary [[type]] regardless of its form.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for these details.)

In [[Generation VII]], Rotom can possess a special [[Pokédex]] and become the [[Rotom Pokédex]], which has the ability to [[Talking Pokémon|speak the human language]]. In [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX]], Rotom can possess a smartphone that doubles as a Pokédex and become the [[Rotom Phone]], which can also be used to power a [[Rotom Bike]]. Rotom are also used in [[Rotomi]] terminals and [[Drone Rotom]]. In [[Pokémon Champions]], a Rotom named [[Rotie]] inhabits a headset, allowing it to speak the human language.

==Biology==
Rotom is a small, orange {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a body made of plasma. It is mostly spherical, with a bulb below its body and a long pointed protrusion on top, making it shaped like a lightning rod. There is a whitish blue aura of electricity around it that forms lightning bolt-shaped appendages. When moving quickly, these appendages tend to disappear, in favor of a long similar-looking trail of blue electricity. It has teeth, and its unique, blue eyes have a dividing line across them. In its base form, Rotom cannot be touched by anyone without the latter being shocked in the process. According to the [[Rotom Catalog]], Rotom's base form is actually inhabiting a light bulb.

Rotom has the ability to enter and control electronic appliances. It typically uses its abilities to cause mischief, often using the household items it possess to pull pranks on unsuspecting people, as seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]''. Despite this, some Rotom have taken to inhabiting electronics with the intent of helping others. The [[Rotom Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone]], [[Rotomi]], and [[Drone Rotom]] are some examples. Additionally, in [[Galar]], the Rotom Phone is used to power the [[Rotom Bike]]. A Rotom called [[Rotie]] was shown inhabiting a headset. In the ''Pokémon the Series'' episode ''[[SM057|The Dex Can't Help It!]]'', [[Rotom Pokédex (anime)|Rotom]] was shown possessing a [[Pokémon Center]] building. Some of these forms allow Rotom to [[Talking Pokémon|speak human languages]], and demonstrate that Rotom is highly intelligent. It tends to reside in abandoned buildings. It lacks any sort of circulatory system or pulse.<ref>[[Rotom Pokédex]], ({{g|Sun and Moon}}): "''Waaah! If I had a pulse, it would be pounding like crazzzy right now!''"</ref> Research continues on Rotom and its ability to power unique motors. In the ''Pokémon the Series'' episode ''[[XY081|Rotom's Wish!]]'', a Rotom was shown to have the ability to [[time travel|send people through time]] by possessing an elevator.

===Forms===
[[File:Rotom parts.png|thumb|200px|left|Rotom and its appliances]]
Rotom has five alternate forms in the [[core series]]: Heat Rotom, Wash Rotom, Frost Rotom, Fan Rotom, and Mow Rotom; all introduced in {{g|Platinum}}. A sixth form, Stereo Rotom, was introduced in {{g|Pokopia}}.
[[File:Brock and Rotom.png|frame|right|Rotom transforming]]
Rotom's forms can be accessed by possessing specific household appliances with a special motor. When Rotom changes forms, its eyes and electric aura change colors, and its aura appendages take on different shapes. In modern [[Sinnoh]], Rotom's forms were said to have been first discovered and documented by [[Charon]]. However, Rotom and its forms existed in [[Hisui]] hundreds of years ago, being documented in the [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]] by [[Professor Laventon]]. This was apparently a result of appliances being sent to the past via [[space-time distortion]]s.

====Heat Rotom====
Rotom transforms into Heat Rotom by possessing a convection {{wp|microwave oven}}. Its appendages turn into oven mittens, and its eyes and aura become red. It has an aptitude for manipulating flames, which it uses for mischievous purposes, such as happily scorching the surrounding are or burning people's favorite outfits. Heat Rotom will become lethargic if the oven it possesses is malfunctioning.

====Wash Rotom====
Rotom transforms into Wash Rotom by inhabiting a {{wp|washing machine}}. Its appendages turn into clothespins, and its eyes and aura become blue. The washing machine model it possess has been discontinued, leading people to sell them at high prices. It enjoys playing water-based pranks, such as spraying cold water everywhere or flooding people's rooms, and blasts enemies with water to intimidate them and incite them to retreat.

====Frost Rotom====
Rotom transforms into Frost Rotom by taking control of a {{wp|refrigerator}}. Its appendages are shaped like lightning bolts, and its eyes and aura become purple. It fights by spewing cold air, which it gleefully uses for practical jokes like freezing people's baths or its surroundings. The special motor within the refrigerator is the key to Rotom's ability to change forms.

====Fan Rotom====
Rotom turns into Fan Rotom by taking over an {{wp|mechanical fan|electric fan}}. Its appendages turn into air curls, and its eyes and aura become yellow. It can stir up powerful gusts of wind to blow away opponents, which it applies to its love for pranks by blowing away everything around it, such as important documents it finds. The electric fan that Fan Rotom inhabits was invented by a boy, and was the first Rotom-related appliance to be developed, leading to the creation of many other appliances like it.

====Mow Rotom====
Rotom turns into Mow Rotom by possessing a {{wp|lawn mower|lawn mower}}. Its appendages turn into a ripped strip, and its eyes and aura become green. focuses its antics on plants. As it mows down grass, it scatters the clippings everywhere and destroys flowers and trees. The lawn mower Mow Rotom possesses led to the development of the [[Rotom Pokédex]].

====Stereo Rotom====
A particular Rotom, named [[DJ Rotom]], has a unique spin-off form called Stereo Rotom. Rotom turns into Stereo Rotom by possessing a mini {{wp|boombox|stereo system}}. Its appendages turn into a lightning bolt shape on top of its head, and its eyes and aura become pale green. It greatly enjoyed the synth-pop CD someone left inside the stereo, making it cheerful by nature. It can play the music CDs it swallows.

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
[[File:Rotom Pokédex Talking.png|thumb|250px|The [[Rotom Pokédex]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}} appears in the bottom screen]]
* These notable Trainers own a Rotom:
** [[Colress]] uses a Wash Rotom in his post-game matches in {{B2W2}}.
** {{ga|Lucas}} uses a Rotom in his post-game rematches in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. This Rotom's form changes based on the [[first partner Pokémon]] chosen by the {{player}}.
** [[Cyrus]] uses a Heat Rotom in the {{si|Battle Tower}}.
* Multiple devices house a Rotom for functionality across multiple games:
** [[Alola]]'s own [[Pokédex]], known as the [[Rotom Pokédex]], contains a Rotom. The Rotom itself, who can speak, is a minor character who often provides information and advice to the player throughout the story of {{game4|7}}. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Rotom provides additional gameplay elements and buffs through the {{DL|Rotom Pokédex|Rotom Powers}}.
** The [[Rotom Phone]] appears in the [[Galar]] and [[Paldea]]-based games, as well as {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. It serves a similar function to Rotom Pokédex, mainly through the Pokédex app, but is less present than its predecessor.
** In addition to the Rotom Phone, Galar also has [[Rotomi]] and [[Rotom Drone]]s as set pieces for the [[PC]] and Gym Stadiums. The Rotom Phone can be attatched to the [[Rotom Bike]] for travel purposes.

==== In the side series games ====

* Rotie, a Rotom that lives inside a headset, accompanies the player and provides battle information in [[Pokémon Champions]]. Its advice is integrated into the battle UI.

====In the spin-off games====
* [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]: Rotom is the leader of the [[Haunted Zone]]. He's in charge of {{DL|Attraction (PokéPark)|Rotom's Spooky Shoot-'em-Up}}.
* [[Pokémon UNITE]]: Rotom appears as a wild Pokémon on [[Remoat Stadium]]. When defeated, it advances towards the opposing team's goal zone.
* [[Pokémon Pokopia]]: A Stereo Rotom named [[DJ Rotom]] appears as a supporting character, being able to play music from the CDs inserted into its mouth.

====Form change====
When Rotom changes into an appliance form, it learns a new move in the same way that other Pokémon may learn new moves upon evolving; if Rotom would change from one appliance form to another and knows the special move of its current form, the old special move is automatically forgotten and Rotom learns the new one. If Rotom changes to its base form, it forgets the special move of the form it was in (if it still knows it); if the only move that Rotom knows right before reverting to its base form is the form's special move, then that move will be replaced with {{m|Thunder Shock}}. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, reverting to the base form will teach it Thunder Shock even if it knows another move. In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, the special moves appear through the move reminder following the form change. Heat, Wash, and Frost Rotom can also learn their respective special moves via TM.

===Form data===
Rotom has five alternate forms it can change between, in addition to its default form. To take on these alternate forms, Rotom possesses a different {{wp|home appliance|household appliance}}, and each has its own special [[move]]. These alternate forms were introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.

In [[Generation IV]], all forms of Rotom are {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}-type; from [[Generation V]] onward, the appliance forms replace the Ghost type with the type of their associated move. All appliance forms have the same [[base stats]], with a higher total than that of Rotom's default form; the only base stat of normal Rotom that is higher than its appliance forms is its Speed.

* In Pokémon Platinum and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], which can only be accessed by using the {{si|Secret Key}}.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in [[Silph Co.]], which can be accessed when entering the broken elevator with Rotom as the [[walking Pokémon]].
* In {{game4|BWB2W2}}, the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of [[Shopping Mall Nine]].
* In {{g|X and Y}}, the appliances are located in boxes on the second floor of the {{kal|Pokémon Research Lab|Sycamore Pokémon Lab}} in [[Lumiose City]].
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the appliances are located in boxes in [[Professor Birch]]'s lab in [[Littleroot Town]].
* In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of [[Professor Kukui]]'s lab in [[Alola Route 1|Hau'oli Outskirts]].
* In {{g|Sword and Shield|Sword, Shield}}, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl}}, {{g|Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}} the [[Rotom Catalog]] appears as a [[Key Item]] that allows the player to change Rotom's form at will wherever they are. In Sword and Shield, it can be obtained in a house in [[Wyndon]] from a {{tc|League Staff}} member after defeating him in {{pkmn|battle}}. In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the Rotom Catalog is automatically obtained after letting Rotom enter an appliance in Rotom's Room. Rotom must have been in a form at least once to unlock that form in the Rotom Catalog. In Scarlet and Violet, it can be purchased from an auction in the [[Porto Marinada Market]] if the player owns a Rotom. In Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension, the Rotom Catalog is given by Lyons in [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|Side Mission 170: "Rotom Showcase!"]]
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, an appliance may sometimes be sold by [[Ginter]] of the [[Ginkgo Guild]]; after being purchased, it is placed in the [[player's house|player's quarters]] in [[Jubilife Village#Your Quarters|Jubilife Village]].

Using these locations, Rotom can also return the appliance to change back to its default form. In Generation IV, Rotom changes back to its default form when taken into the [[Union Room]] or [[Wi-Fi Club]], or when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]].

[[Pokémon Egg|Hatched]] Rotom will always be in their standard form.

Upon changing into an appliance form, Rotom will learn the special move associated with the form, and upon changing from an appliance form, it will forget that special move. When changing forms, if Rotom knows four moves but not the special move of its previous form, the player will be prompted to replace a move with the new exclusive move (Rotom cannot change to an appliance form unless it does). If Rotom's only known move is its special move and it changes to its default form, then the Rotom will learn {{m|Thunder Shock}}. If Rotom forgets the move that is tied to its appliance form, it remains in its appliance form.

Rotom's appliance forms first appeared as silhouettes in August 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, with a statement that indicated that these Pokémon would be in the game. Days before the game's release, it was revealed that these Pokémon were the alternate forms of Rotom. These new forms made their debut in Pokémon Platinum, and have been included in every [[core series]] game since.

In Generation IV, there are five separate appliances and changing Rotom's form temporarily removes that appliance from the room, so the player can never have more than one of each form. From Generation V onward, this limitation is removed. In [[Hisui]], five separate appliances are again depicted, but changing Rotom's form does not remove that appliance from the room.

Rotom's appliance forms are not present in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]]. In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, they are a permanent form difference, with each form being a separate Pokémon on the [[Connection Orb]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Rotom Pokédex type.png|thumb|250px|The [[Rotom Pokédex]]'s [[type]] in the {{pkmn|animated series}}]]
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}, Rotom uses [[Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl: Super Music Collection|Battle! (Legendary Pokémon)]] as its battle theme, even though Rotom is not a [[Legendary Pokémon]]. To date, Rotom is the only Pokémon with this trait.
* Rotom's alternate forms, along with {{p|Arceus}}'s forms, were the only alternative forms of a Pokémon not featured in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}. However, despite being introduced a year before the game was released like Rotom, {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Giratina}}'s alternate forms made an appearance in the game.
* Rotom is tied with {{p|Tynamo}} as the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Rotom was the first Pokémon mentioned to have an {{DL|List of Pokémon by gender ratio|unknown gender}} in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', {{Ash}}'s [[Rotom Phone]] listed the {{an|Rotom Pokédex}} as a pure Electric-type Pokémon.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Rotom's forms can't master their exclusive moves, even with a [[Seed of Mastery]].
* Rotom is the only Pokémon in {{g|Pokopia}} to have a new form with a type that differs from its base form.

====[[Generation V]] type change====
* Rotom is the only Pokémon to have its type changed to a type that was not newly introduced.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Rotom's base form or Heat Rotom, making Rotom the only Pokémon with more than one unique type combination.
* Despite becoming part {{t|Flying}} type, Fan Rotom retains the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}}, being the only Flying-type Pokémon with this Ability. As its Flying type already makes it immune to {{type|Ground}} [[move]]s, its Ability is effectively useless under normal conditions.
** In [[Inverse Battle]]s, Fan Rotom is still protected from Ground-type moves due to Levitate, making it the only Flying-type Pokémon to not be affected by Ground-type moves in these battles by default.
* All of Rotom's appliance forms (except Mow Rotom) are tied for or have the fewest weaknesses of all Pokémon of their secondary types.
** All of Rotom's alternate forms (except Mow Rotom) are also the lightest Pokémon of their secondary typing.
* Heat Rotom is tied with {{form|Castform|Sunny Form}} {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Litwick}}, and {{p|Scorbunny}} for the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
* Frost Rotom is:
** tied with {{form|Castform|Snowy Form}} {{p|Castform}} and {{p|Snom}} for being the shortest {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.
** the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Amorphous}}.
** one of the only Ice-type Pokémon, the others being Snom and {{p|Chien-Pao}}, who cannot learn {{m|Ice Beam}}.

===Origin===
Rotom appears to be based on {{wp|poltergeist}}s or {{wp|tsukumogami}}, a type of ghost that possesses household items. Many of its Pokédex entries are reminiscent of {{wp|gremlin}}s. Its Pokédex entry from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] specifically calls it a "{{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}} powered by electricity"; will-o'-the-wisps are typically ghost-like lights that inhabit marshes. Usually will-o'-the-wisps appear as balls of fire, another form of {{wp|Plasma (physics)|plasma}}. Rotom may also be an embodiment of {{wp|ball lightning}} or electronic "{{wp|magic smoke}}". It may also be inspired on the saying that ghosts will sometimes drain the batteries of various electronic devices.


Each of Rotom's forms appears as an electronic object with arms made out of electric sparks. Its regular and most common form seems to be based on a {{wp|Electric light|light bulb}}, as listed in the [[Rotom Catalog]]. The other forms directly possess a household object:
* Heat Rotom possesses a {{wp|microwave oven}}, with its arms also resembling the rounded hands of {{wp|oven mitt}}s, cooking wear to take out hot foods from an {{wp|oven}}.
* Wash Rotom possesses a {{wp|washing machine}}, with its arms resembling a pair of {{wp|clothespin}}s, a type of peg used to hold up wet clothes to dry.
* Frost Rotom possesses a {{wp|refrigerator}}. Its lower drawer resembling a freezer. While its arms resemble that of lightning bolts, they could also be a depiction of fractured ice.
* Fan Rotom possesses an {{wp|Fan (machine)|electric fan}}, particularly a desk or table fan. Its arms resemble a cartoonish depiction on gusts of wind.
* Mow Rotom possesses a {{wp|lawn mower}}. Its rounded face and wheels makes the species resemble a reel mower with a bag used for storing grass attached to its back. Its teeth and arms become pointed, bringing to mind the {{wp|saw}} or blade of a lawn mower.
* Stereo Rotom possesses a home stereo system, or {{wp|boombox}}, having two large speakers on its sides, with the main "head" showing an audio interface. The appendage above its horn resembles an {{wp|eighth note}}. When expanded, this appendage resembles another volume interface. This appendage may also resemble the antennae of portable {{wp|radio}}s. [[DJ Rotom]]'s own behavior and English localized name brings to mind the act of {{wp|disc jockey|DJing}}, an artist who plays music for an audience using a {{wp|DJ mixer}}.

Among its other forms, the [[Rotom Bike]] resembles an {{wp|electric bicycle}}, a type of bike that use an electric motor. The Rotom Bike's Water Mode may be based on the concept of a {{wp|Pedalo|paddle boat}}, sometimes called a water bike, that is used to traverse water by pedaling. The [[Rotom Dex]], [[Rotom Phone]] and [[Rotomi]] may be based on {{wp|virtual assistant}}s or forms of {{wp|artificial intelligence}} used to assist the usage of electric devices and software.

====Name origin====
Rotom is derived from ''{{wp|motor}}'' spelled backwards.

In-universe, an old notebook in [[Rotom's Room]] of {{g|Platinum}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} describes how Charon discovered and named the first known Rotom. It appeared out of a lawn mower's motor, and the person named it Rotom due to this origin.

'''Runerigus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デスバーン''' ''Deathbarn'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Yamask}} when the player is standing under a specific arch in the overworld after Yamask takes at least 49 [[HP]] in [[damage]] from attacks without [[fainting]]. Its Unovan counterpart is {{p|Cofagrigus}}.

(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
[[File:Runerigus serpent pattern.png|thumb|left|160px|Serpent pattern on Runerigus]]
Runerigus is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} composed of an oblong, irregularly-shaped clay slab, with an outline of a stylized serpent with sharp teeth painted onto it in red. Two sections of the slab at the upper left and upper right side, along with a piece bearing the serpent's head and a small piece bearing the tip of the image's tail, have broken off and are held in place by shadowy black tendrils that form its arms, neck, and tail respectively; the "tail" fragment also resembles the piece carried by {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Yamask}}. It has five black fingers on each hand, which extend from the ends of the fragments forming its arms. It has a single purple eye located in the same spot as the painting's eye. Runerigus seems to be distantly related to {{p|Cofagrigus}}.

Runerigus was formed from a painting imbued with an ancient curse, which was activated by absorbing the spirit of a Yamask and brought the painting to life. Anyone that touches its shadowy body will have the memories behind its painting's creation forced onto them. Thanks to the reassembly of Runerigus's clay slab, its malicious power can be fully unleashed.

Runerigus and its pre-Evolution, Galarian {{p|Yamask}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Wandering Spirit}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Runerigus evolves from {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Yamask}}.

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

===Evolution data===
{{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Yamask}} evolves into Runerigus when the player is standing under certain arches in the overworld after Yamask takes at least 49 [[HP]] in [[damage]] without [[fainting]]. Healing does not reset the counter, and damage can be taken across multiple battles. Taking damage from certain sources, such as self-inflicted {{m|Curse}} damage or [[weather]] effects, does not contribute to the 49 HP damage requirement.

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the arch to evolve Galarian Yamask is a rock formation in the [[Dusty Bowl]]; in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, it is the bridges above the [[Coulant Waterway]].

===Main series===
[[File:Rubina Runerigus.png|thumb|250px|Runerigus in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
====Major appearances====
Runerigus debuted in ''[[JN113|Chasing to the Finish!]]'', under the ownership of [[Sterling]]. It was used to battle [[Goh]] and {{Gary}}, alongside [[Lyla]]'s {{p|Sandaconda}}, before being defeated by {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}} and {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}.

Six Runerigus appeared in [[HZ133]], under the ownership of [[Rubina]]. They were used to battle [[Dot]], {{an|Nemona}}, and [[Penny]], only to be defeated when [[Hamber]] turned up to assist with his {{p|Dusknoir}} and {{p|Ursaluna}}.

====Minor appearances====
A Runerigus appeared as one of the residents of the [[ancient castle]] in ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]''. In [[HZ025|the following episode]], it helped [[Diana]] evacuate the other Pokémon from the castle in the wake of the [[Explorers]]' attack.

==In the manga==
==In the TCG==
{{main|Runerigus (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Runerigus's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats are the reverse of {{p|Cofagrigus}}'s, while their other stats are identical.
* {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Yamask}}'s [[Evolution]] into Runerigus is the only Evolution involving a specific location in {{g|Sword and Shield|s}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, as all other Pokémon with [[location-based Evolution]]s are either unobtainable or use an [[Evolution stone]] to evolve instead.
* Runerigus was included in a segment for commonly mispronounced Pokémon names in [[2023 Pokémon World Championships]] livestreams, where the pronunciation of its name was given as "ROON-uh-REE-guhs".<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/TPCZwMOAq-s?t=37773]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/7jEeWbTwA9g?t=18542]</ref>

===Origin===
Runerigus may be based on {{wp|runestone}}s, large stones engraved by Vikings used to commemorate the lives of notable people and events, such as the {{wp|England runestones}} erected in remembrance of Vikings who travelled to England and died there, like the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigurd_stones#S%C3%B6_101,_the_Ramsund_carving Ramsund carving]. Many of the discovered runestones had motifs in the shape of serpents or dragons; Runerigus's motif may specifically be based on {{wp|Jörmungandr}}, the World Serpent of Norse mythology who was sometimes depicted on runestones, or {{wp|Apep}}, the serpentine primordial embodiment of chaos in Egyptian mythology. Runestones were also believed to have mystical properties that conveyed powers of protection, wealth, and victory, and some runestones had curses inscribed on them, warning that anyone who damages or moves them would be doomed to death or being an outcast.

The method to [[Evolution|evolve]] a Galarian Yamask may be inspired by funeral rites in different culture. The fact that Galarian Yamask evolves into Runerigus after taking at least 49 HP in damage could be a very subtle reference to the {{wp|Bardo|antarābhava}}, a Buddhist concept of Purgatory after death and before reincarnation; this process of Buddhist Purgatory is said to last 49 days. The Galar location of Evolution, namely the stone arch in [[Dusty Bowl]], resembles a {{wp|dolmen}}, while the arrangement of surrounding monoliths resemble that of a {{wp|stone ship}}.

====Name origin====
Runerigus may be a combination of ''rune'' and ''egregious'' or ''{{p|Cofagrigus}}''.

Deathbarn may be a combination of ''death'', 板 ''ban'' (slab), and ''{{p|Cofagrigus|Desukarn}}''.

|}'''Canari''' (Japanese: '''カナリィ''' ''Canary'') is a character from {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. She is a gamer and streamer from [[Lumiose City]] and is the leader of her fan club [[DYN4MO]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Her partner Pokémon is {{p|Eelektross}}.

== In the core series games ==

=== Appearance ===
Canari is a young woman with tan complexion and a slim build. She has short shoulder-length hair that she ties into lightning-shaped twin tails using hair ties shaped like {{p|Eelektrik}}'s mouth. Her natural hair color is a slightly greenish yellow; the right half of her hair is dyed teal, and the tip of her left twin tail is dyed black.

Canari wears a yellow crop-top jacket over a yellow zipper tube top with black straps; she wears her [[Key Stone]] within the zipper. She also wears baggy two-tone teal-and-black trousers, large white platform sneakers from [[In the Zone]], and a black and yellow cloth face mask. She stores her [[Rotom Phone]] on a case strapped to her left hip, and she also carries a white {{p|Tynamo}}-patterned pouch behind her. She polishes her ring and little finger nails in teal, and the rest of her finger nails in yellow.

=== Personality ===
[[File:Canari gamer rage.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Canari's gamer rage]]
A gamer at heart, Canari enjoys gaming more than almost anything else and is particularly talented at falling-block puzzle games. Due to her fixation on gaming, she doesn't focus as much on promoting herself or growing her fanbase. Her grandfather, [[Tarragon]], is the one responsible for promoting her streams by managing her fan club and handling in-person events by pretending to be her. Canari also doesn't really focus on Pokémon battles and rarely talks about Pokémon battles on her streams, although she admits she doesn't hate battling either.

Short-tempered, Canari can get frustrated easily. After losing to the player in the [[Z-A Royale]] promotion match, she swears and momentarily throws a fit before she cools down. She also comes off as rather rude to her own grandfather, yelling at him for losing to the player. Tarragon spoiling her doesn't help matters, either.

Unlike her partner Pokémon {{p|Eelektross}} and its love of [[Lumiose Galette]]s, Canari doesn't enjoy sweets. She has a close friendship with [[Gwynn]], whom she calls "'''G-Volt'''" (Japanese: '''ムクちゃん''' ''Muku-chan'').

=== History ===

==== [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] ====
Canari is a streamer and gamer popular throughout [[Lumiose City]] and the rest of the [[Kalos]] region, with [[Naveen]] and [[Gwynn]] being some of her more notable fans. The {{player}} has a glimpse of her while using their [[Rotom Phone]] on the train during the introductory cutscene of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. [[Tarragon]] mentions Canari by name to the player for the first time during [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Main missions|Main Mission]] 5: "The City in the Shadow of Prism Tower", and gifts them a [[Red Canari Plush]] while also promoting his scaffolding obstacle courses.

Canari serves as the player's opponent in their [[Z-A Royale]] promotion match to Rank E. Naveen, a well-versed Canatic, is conflicted in helping the player find and battle her, although he later concedes and helps the player infiltrate the Canari Quiz Whiz Contest at the [[Electrical Substation]]. Throughout the Canari Quiz Whiz Contest, the player learns various aspects of her. Her {{p|Eelektross}} loves a crunchy, overbaked variety of [[Lumiose Galette]] known as [[Super Lumiose Galette]], developing a taste for it after eating it to heal a [[Burn (status condition)|burn]]. Canari also played her first games on a laptop owned by Tarragon; Naveen implies a rather tragic story behind this, but it isn't clarified further.

With Naveen's assistance, the player aces the Canari Quiz Whiz Contest and is able to request Canari for a promotion match. After defeating both Tarragon and her, Canari gets upset and blames her grandfather for losing first, but quickly cheers up after Tarragon promises to buy her anything as an apology. She gives [[TM066]] ({{m|Volt Switch}}) to the player after defeating her, along with an [[Autographed Plush]] to be given to Naveen as thanks for helping the player. She also declares that she'll put more effort into Pokémon battling from that point on.

Later, the player battles Canari again in order to get information on Gwynn, who has gone missing. Canari also appears in [[Hotel Richissime]] as one of the guests invited to [[Jacinthe]]'s "Le Super-Tournoi de Jacinthe" tournament, and is battled by the player in the first round.

During the game's final act, Canari joins the player in a Multi Battle against [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega]] Pokémon while Tarragon and his employees work together to build a path to reach [[Zygarde (Pokémon)|Zygarde]]. In the credits, Canari is seen during the Lumiose City cleanup effort with the other citizens, helping out by providing entertainment after a moment of major distress.

===Pokémon===
Canari keeps her Pokémon in [[Quick Ball]]s and will [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] her {{p|Eelektross}} at the first opportunity.

==In the TCG==
[[File:CanariAscendedHeroes257.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Canari in the TCG]]
{{main|Canari (Ascended Heroes 185)}}
'''Canari''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Mega Evolution Series (the Japanese MEGA Series). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|MEGA Dream ex}} subset before debuting in the English {{TCG|Ascended Heroes}} expansion, with artwork by [[Naoki Saito]]. A {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same illustrator and a {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version with artwork by [[kantaro]] were released in the same sets. This card, which can only be used if the player discards another card from their hand, allows the player to search their deck for up to 4 {{e|Lightning}} ({{ct|Lightning}}) Pokémon cards and put them into their hand.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Canari is similar to [[Iono]], as both of them [[Type expert|specialize]] in {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and are popular streamers. Despite the apparent similarities, Iono and Canari also have notable differences:
** Iono personally appears in all her streams and is easily approachable in real life through her position as a Gym Leader. She also appears in-person both online and offline. Canari is more of a shut-in whose "in-person" appearances are done via holo-tech by [[Tarragon|her grandfather]].
** Iono uses her regular Gym Battles as part of her streams, while Canari is primarily a gaming streamer, with her battles in the Z-A Royale being secondary since she's not that interested in Pokémon battling.
** Iono accepts her defeat easier than Canari, since it still made her content - and since she's a Gym Leader, losing is part of the job anyway. Canari takes losses badly, as she goes on a (censored) swearing rant after losing.
** Iono appears young and her outfit (an oversized coat, a long halter shirt and pantyhose under her shorts) covers most of her skin, while Canari has a more developed body and shows more skin.
** Iono's face is entirely shown and she has rather sharp teeth, while Canari often wears a mask that covers her mouth and her teeth are shown to be standard in size when she does take it off.
** Even their Pokémon choices and the way they utilize them in battle are very different. Bellibolt is trained as a slow but heavy hitter that relies on its ability to take a hit to then do a lot of damage back to the opponent and is mostly a special attacker for Iono, while Canari lets Eelektross do both physical and special attacks, and is the only Pokémon post-Gen VI to have no type weaknesses. Both use Pokémon who have Levitate, an ability that can be exploited by Electric-types, but Iono uses terastallization to turn her Levitating Mismagius into Electric type while Canari's Eelektross is a natural Levitating Electric type (or would be, but Legends: Z-A has no abilities and Eelektross thus lacks the Ground immunity).
* Canari is the only major character in a core series game to use profanity, albeit with it {{wp|obscenicon|censored}}.

'''Hydreigon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サザンドラ''' ''Sazandora'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Zweilous}} starting at [[level]] 64. It is the final form of {{p|Deino}}.

It is referred to as a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] by fans.

The [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Iron Jugulis}} is said to be a future relative of Hydreigon or a version of it from a parallel timeline.

==Biology==
Hydreigon is a three-headed, draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with six thin, black wings that each end in two points on its back. Its body is primarily dark blue, with black fur covering its necks and shoulders. Its secondary necks are also arms with elbow and shoulder joints. Despite its three heads, it is a singular entity, unlike its pre-evolved form {{p|Zweilous}}. Its secondary heads lack brains and do not move or think of their own accord, while its central head houses its brain. The inner fur surrounding its heads is fuchsia in color, and resembles collars. Hydreigon's heads have black eyes; the main head additionally has fuchsia pupils and visible pointed teeth, while the secondary heads' eyes are simplistic and unable to blink. Its abdomen has two fuchsia stripes and its feet appear atrophied, having no claws or defined soles. Its tail also sports a fuchsia stripe and ends with a black tuft.

Hydreigon is a violent, destructive Pokémon. It will attack anything that moves, determining it a foe. However, in the {{aniseries|BW}} episode ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Hydreigon is depicted as fairly obedient when around its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. The three heads take turns when attacking, not stopping until their target is defeated. Hydreigon can also use its three mouths to rapidly eat through anything. Hydreigon is said to be highly intelligent in spite of its constantly destructive thoughts. It is rarely encountered in the wild, but has occasionally been sighted divebombing passers-by from the sky.<ref>Depiction in {{kal|Victory Road}} in {{g|X and Y}}.</ref> Many stories described Hydreigon destroying entire villages. Due to its eyesight, Hydreigon is afraid of {{p|Noivern}} during nighttime. It is said Hydreigon's reason for being ferocious is due to ancient people loathing it. The ancient people believed Hydreigon was evil incarnate, hence always attacking it.

{{p|Iron Jugulis}} shares a resemblance to Hydreigon. The reason is believed due to it being a possibly futuristic hybrid made from combining Hydreigon and machines together as one. It is also rumoured that Iron Jugulis is the child of a Hydreigon which fell in love with a machine.

===Evolution===
Hydreigon evolves from {{p|Zweilous}} and is the final form of {{p|Deino}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
* [[Ghetsis]] uses his Hydreigon in the [[Generation V]] games {{game4|BWB2W2}} and the [[Generation VII]] games {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. In Black and White, Ghetsis's Hydreigon has a super effective move against all of [[N]]'s Pokémon in his final team. It is the only NPC Pokémon to have minimum [[friendship]], as well as the only one to use {{m|Frustration}} with maximum power. In Black 2 and White 2 only, Ghetsis's Hydreigon uses a [[Life Orb]] as a [[held item]].
* [[Iris]] uses her Hydreigon in {{B2W2}}. In Challenge Mode only, Iris's Hydreigon uses a pair of [[Wise Glasses]] as a held item.
* [[Lance]] uses his Hydreigon in {{B2W2}} as one of his possible Pokémon in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. Lance's Hydreigon can be either [[gender]] and holds a [[White Herb]] in the [[Champions Tournament]] and a [[Chople Berry]] in the [[Challenge the Champion Lance!]] tournament.

====In the spin-off games====
{{spoilers}}
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]: Hydreigon and {{p|Haxorus}} kidnap {{p|Victini}} at the [[Crag Area]] and take him to [[Wish Park]], but are defeated by the {{player}}.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}: {{mdc|Hydreigon|gti}} is at first described by {{mdc|Munna|gti}} as an evil Pokémon who is pure destruction in Pokémon form, devours everything in his path, and is said to be the cause of the world's balance being disrupted. Later, Munna's words about him turn out to be a lie to trick the player, and Hydreigon is really the physical embodiment of the Voice of Life, the form of the world's will to live, who called upon [[human]]s to save the {{mdc|Pokémon world}}, as no Pokémon could hope to save it. At one point, his physical form is destroyed by {{mdc|Kyurem|gti}}, but he reforms close to the end of the game. At the end of the main game, he escorts the player partway through on their way back to the human world.

====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''Unlike Scizor with its pretend heads, Hydreigon's three heads are real! The center head is the brains of the operation, while the left and right ones are there to consume everything they can. We wouldn't be surprised to see Hydreigon at an eating contest, but there has to be a rule against having three mouths on one body...?''

'''PAL:''' ''Unlike Scizor's head-like claws, the heads at the end of Hydreigon's arms are the real deal. Only the head in the middle does any thinking - the other two are just for gobbling up anything in sight. If you think about it, Hydreigon would probably win any eating contest hands down, but... maybe having three mouths is against the rules...''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Hydreigon also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==

* Hydreigon shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Sharpedo}}. They are both known as the Brutal Pokémon.

===Concept and development===
According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Hydreigon and its evolutionary line were originally intended to have aspects of {{wp|tank}}s. These Pokémon were scrapped until late in development, when they were revived and remade to be based on {{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}.<ref name=ND205>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

===Origin===

Hydreigon is based on {{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}, a red-eyed, eight-headed dragon or serpent from Japanese mythology. However, compared to Yamata no Orochi, Hydreigon was designed with fewer heads to appear less off-putting, although its wings were designed as a nod to the Orochi's additional heads.<ref name=ND205/> Hydreigon may also incorporate elements from other many-headed antagonistic dragons or serpents in various mythologies, such as the {{wp|Zmei (Russian)|Zmei Gorynych}}, {{wp|Lernaean Hydra}}, {{wp|Book of Revelation}}'s Dragon, {{wp|Zahhak}}, or the {{wp|Yelbeghen}}.

The tank tread-like markings on Hydreigon's body are remnants of when Hydreigon's evolutionary line was originally designed after tanks.<ref name=ND205/> The presence of smaller brainless heads on top of its arms makes them reminiscent of {{wp|hand puppet}}s.

Hydreigon evolving at level 64 could be a reference to 1964, the year that the fifth film in the ''Godzilla'' franchise, ''{{wp|Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster}}'', was released. The {{wp|King Ghidorah|titular antagonist of said film}} is a three-headed dragon.

====Name origin====
Hydreigon may be a combination of ''{{wp|Lernaean Hydra|hydra}}'', ''drei'' (German for three), and ''dragon''.

Sazandora may be a combination of 三 ''san'' (three), さざんがく ''sazangaku'' ({{jwp|九九|a mnemonic}} for remembering 3 × 3 = 9), 残忍 ''zannin'' (brutal) or 残酷 ''zankoku'' (cruel), and ''hydra''. It may also incorporate ''dragon'' or ''Ghidorah''.

'''Mandibuzz''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バルジーナ''' ''Vulgina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Vullaby}} starting at [[level]] 54.

==Biology==
[[File:VullabyNest.png|250px|left|thumb|A Mandibuzz caring for a {{p|Vullaby}}]]
Mandibuzz is a vulture-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, particularly resembling a turkey vulture. It has a bare, pink head and neck, along with a notched black beak and red eyes. There are black eyelashes or eyeliner-like markings above its eyes. A long brown tuft with a bone in the middle extends from the back of its head. It has a tan ruff at the base of its neck, and shaggy darker brown wings with gray tips. Mandibuzz also has shaggy brown tail feathers. Its pink feet have black talons. It has decorated itself with bones — a jaw with sharp teeth — to form a skirt. When Mandibuzz sits on its [[Vullaby]] chick within its nest, Mandibuzz's bony skirt combines with the bones around Vullaby's lower body to form an upside-down skull with sharp teeth.<ref name=ND205/> Different types of bones fall in and out of use as if there were fashion trends among Mandibuzz.

Mandibuzz lives in nests made from the bones it finds, though they have also been seen using more traditional nests, such as in the [[Terarium]]. Weakened prey such as {{p|Cubone}} is dragged back to this nest after Mandibuzz swoops down on it from the sky. Mandibuzz is a female-only species, although it dresses attractively in bones as a purported attempt to attract mates.

===Evolution===
Mandibuzz evolves from {{p|Vullaby}}.

However, she was later defeated by {{AP|Scraggy}}'s newly learned {{m|High Jump Kick}}, allowing Scrafty to reclaim its den.

In ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'', [[Katharine]] offered a Mandibuzz to [[trade]] {{Ash}} for his {{AP|Scraggy}}. She was later used in a {{pkmn|battle}} against {{AP|Tepig}}, which she lost.

==Trivia==
* Despite {{stat|Special Attack}} being its lowest stat, Mandibuzz awards Special Attack {{EV}}s when defeated.
* Mandibuzz and its pre-Evolution were designed by [[James Turner]]. According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Vullaby and Mandibuzz were added late into the development of {{game|Black and White|s}}, and despite the fact that there were "too many bird Pokémon already", their designs were approved.<ref name=ND205>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([http://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-6/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>
* Mandibuzz and Vullaby can be seen as counterparts to {{p|Braviary}} and {{p|Rufflet}}. Mandibuzz and Braviary share a base stat total of 510, evolve from their pre-evolved forms starting at [[level]] 54, and are both part {{t|Flying}}. Mandibuzz and Vullaby are exclusive to {{game|Black and White|s|Black}}, {{B2W2|Black 2}}, {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon}}, and {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Shield}}, while Braviary and Rufflet are exclusive to {{game|Black and White|s|White}}, {{B2W2|White 2}}, {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun}}, and {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Sword}}. Whereas Mandibuzz and Vullaby can only be female, Braviary and Rufflet can only be male.

===Origin===
Mandibuzz may be based on a variety of {{wp|Old World vulture}}s; its specialization in bones is much like the {{wp|bearded vulture}}, and its appearance most closely resembles a {{wp|lappet-faced vulture}} with the prominent ruff of a {{wp|white-rumped vulture}}. However, the saturated coloration of its shiny more closely resembles a [[wp:Turkey_vulture|turkey vulture]], which is a [[wp:New_World_vulture|New World vulture]]. Its design also bears resemblance to stereotypical "savages", {{wp|barbarian}}s, or {{wp|caveman|cavemen}}. The row of teeth around its waist resembles an apron. Its female-only status may allude to the ancient Egyptian belief that all vultures were female and reproduced through {{wp|parthenogenesis|parthenogenesis}}, which linked it to motherhood and purity at the same time.

====Name origin====
Mandibuzz may be a combination of ''{{wp|mandible}}'' or ''[[wiktionary:mandil|mandil]]'' (Spanish for apron) and ''{{wp|buzzard}}''.

Vulgina may be a combination of ''vulture'' or ''vulgar'' and ''regina'' (Latin and Italian for queen).

'''Mandibuzz''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バルジーナ''' ''Vulgina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Vullaby}} starting at [[level]] 54.

==Biology==
[[File:VullabyNest.png|250px|left|thumb|A Mandibuzz caring for a {{p|Vullaby}}]]
Mandibuzz is a vulture-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, particularly resembling a turkey vulture. It has a bare, pink head and neck, along with a notched black beak and red eyes. There are black eyelashes or eyeliner-like markings above its eyes. A long brown tuft with a bone in the middle extends from the back of its head. It has a tan ruff at the base of its neck, and shaggy darker brown wings with gray tips. Mandibuzz also has shaggy brown tail feathers. Its pink feet have black talons. It has decorated itself with bones — a jaw with sharp teeth — to form a skirt. When Mandibuzz sits on its [[Vullaby]] chick within its nest, Mandibuzz's bony skirt combines with the bones around Vullaby's lower body to form an upside-down skull with sharp teeth.<ref name=ND205/> Different types of bones fall in and out of use as if there were fashion trends among Mandibuzz.

Mandibuzz lives in nests made from the bones it finds, though they have also been seen using more traditional nests, such as in the [[Terarium]]. Weakened prey such as {{p|Cubone}} is dragged back to this nest after Mandibuzz swoops down on it from the sky. Mandibuzz is a female-only species, although it dresses attractively in bones as a purported attempt to attract mates.

===Evolution===
Mandibuzz evolves from {{p|Vullaby}}.

However, she was later defeated by {{AP|Scraggy}}'s newly learned {{m|High Jump Kick}}, allowing Scrafty to reclaim its den.

In ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'', [[Katharine]] offered a Mandibuzz to [[trade]] {{Ash}} for his {{AP|Scraggy}}. She was later used in a {{pkmn|battle}} against {{AP|Tepig}}, which she lost.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
* Despite {{stat|Special Attack}} being its lowest stat, Mandibuzz awards Special Attack {{EV}}s when defeated.
* Mandibuzz and its pre-Evolution were designed by [[James Turner]]. According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Vullaby and Mandibuzz were added late into the development of {{game|Black and White|s}}, and despite the fact that there were "too many bird Pokémon already", their designs were approved.<ref name=ND205>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([http://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-6/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>
* Mandibuzz and Vullaby can be seen as counterparts to {{p|Braviary}} and {{p|Rufflet}}. Mandibuzz and Braviary share a base stat total of 510, evolve from their pre-evolved forms starting at [[level]] 54, and are both part {{t|Flying}}. Mandibuzz and Vullaby are exclusive to {{game|Black and White|s|Black}}, {{B2W2|Black 2}}, {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon}}, and {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Shield}}, while Braviary and Rufflet are exclusive to {{game|Black and White|s|White}}, {{B2W2|White 2}}, {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun}}, and {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Sword}}. Whereas Mandibuzz and Vullaby can only be female, Braviary and Rufflet can only be male.

===Origin===
Mandibuzz may be based on a variety of {{wp|Old World vulture}}s; its specialization in bones is much like the {{wp|bearded vulture}}, and its appearance most closely resembles a {{wp|lappet-faced vulture}} with the prominent ruff of a {{wp|white-rumped vulture}}. However, the saturated coloration of its shiny more closely resembles a [[wp:Turkey_vulture|turkey vulture]], which is a [[wp:New_World_vulture|New World vulture]]. Its design also bears resemblance to stereotypical "savages", {{wp|barbarian}}s, or {{wp|caveman|cavemen}}. The row of teeth around its waist resembles an apron. Its female-only status may allude to the ancient Egyptian beluef that all vultures were female and reproduced through {{wp|parthenogenesis|parthenogenesis}}, which linked it to motherhood and purity at the same time.

====Name origin====
Mandibuzz may be a combination of ''{{wp|mandible}}'' or ''[[wiktionary:mandil|mandil]]'' (Spanish for apron) and ''{{wp|buzzard}}''.

Vulgina may be a combination of ''vulture'' or ''vulgar'' and ''regina'' (Latin and Italian for queen).

An '''island kahuna''' (Japanese: '''しまキング''' ''Island King'' or '''しまクイーン''' ''Island Queen'') is a [[Human|person]] who presides over a certain grand trial during a trial-goer's [[island challenge]] in the [[Alola]] [[region]]. Island kahunas serve as the final obstacle in that particular island's grand trial and battle a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. There is one kahuna for each of the four main islands of Alola, with each one chosen by that island's [[Guardian deities|guardian deity]]. In addition to presiding over an island, they are also in charge of tending to their guardian's ruins when necessary and selecting new [[Trial Captain|captains]] for their island.

Like captains, the kahuna also offer a [[type]]d [[Z-Crystal]], as well as a [[Trainer Card (game)#Stamps|stamp]] for a Trainer's [[Trainer Passport]] when defeated, replacing that of a [[Gym Badge]]. Also similar to captains and [[Gym Leader]]s, each known kahuna is known to [[type specialist|focus on a particular type]], which may coincide with hobby or alternative job they have interest in. For example, [[Hala]], [[Melemele Island]]'s kahuna, is a [[Fighting (type)|Fighting-type]] specialist, who's known for partaking in Alolan sumo wrestling. During the course of {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the {{player}} is required to defeat a kahuna before moving onto the next island in their island challenge. All four kahuna must be defeated in order to become as island challenge champion. Prior to the establishment of the Alola {{al|Pokémon League}}, a Trainer attempting their island challenge who had finished all of their trials and grand trials were to scale [[Mount Lanakila]] and battle all four kahunas in a row in order to become an island challenge champion, similar to that of a group of [[Elite Four]] members in other regions. During this reestablishment, some kahuna, notably [[Hala]]{{sup/7|SM}} and [[Olivia]], have become a part of Alola's Elite Four.

According to [[Acerola]], a person chosen to be an island kahuna cannot refuse the position; in this case, she was referring to [[Nanu]]. A kahuna's reign lasts until they die, as was the case with [[Hapu]]'s grandfather and predecessor, or are forcibly ejected from their position by their respective guardian deity, as was with the case with a former unspecified kahuna who established the gang that [[Team Skull]] drew inspiration from. The time in between an island kahuna's exit from their position and the naming of a new one is not always immediate — following the death of Hapu's grandfather, [[Poni Island]] was left without a kahuna for several years.

It is unknown how the lack of a kahuna affects the island challenge, specifically the assignment of captains and the final trial. In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, Poni Island's sole captain, [[Mina]], says that a kahuna from one of the other islands has to substitute for an island without one in order to allow that island's grand trials to be conducted — a role Nanu had to play prior to Hapu's crowning. However, Mina does not mention who selected her to be a captain.

All kahuna keep their Pokémon in [[Ultra Ball]]s and use a [[Z-Crystal]] and [[Z-Move]] of their respective type. They all have the '''Island Kahuna''' [[Trainer class]].

[[File:SM010 Ash VS Hala.png|thumb|250px|{{Ash}} challenging [[Hala]] in his first grand trial]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|SM}}====
In {{aniseries|SM}}, defeating the island kahunas was a major part of {{Ash}}'s island challenge. Ash and {{ashcl}} have encountered all four main island kahunas from the games:
* [[Hala]] made his debut in ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]'', where he watched over Ash while he completed the [[Verdant Cavern]] trial. In ''[[SM010|Trial and Tribulation!]]'', Ash fought him and won, receiving a new [[Electrium Z]] to replace his first one after {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}} swapped Hala's [[Fightinium Z]] with it.
* [[Olivia]] first appeared in person in ''[[SM031|The Island Whisperer!]]'', where she brought Ash's class to [[Akala Island]]. After completing the [[Lush Jungle]] trial in ''[[SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!]]'', Ash battled Olivia in ''[[SM036|Trials and Determinations!]]'' and won, earning a [[Rockium Z]].
* [[Nanu]]'s first appearance was in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', where he gave {{TRT}} a [[Z-Power Ring]] as thanks for helping [[Acerola]]. Ash met him in ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'', and then battled him in a grand trial in ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]'' and won, earning a [[Lycanium Z]] as a reward. In {{aniseries|PTS}}, he is an old acquaintance of {{an|Giovanni}}, though the details of their common past are unknown.
* Like the games, Poni Island had no island kahuna as of ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', when Ash and his classmates arrived to the island to conduct their personal research projects. [[Hapu]] first appeared in the same episode. Also like the games, she was not a kahuna when she was first seen, but her late grandfather [[Sofu]] was the island's second-most recent. As revealed in the [[SM105|following episode]], Hapu had been training to follow in her grandfather's footsteps, but had not been able to meet {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}, despite multiple attempts to get in touch with it. In ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', Tapu Fini accepted Hapu after witnessing her desire to save her friends from its illusory mist, and was officially instated as Poni Island's kahuna in a ceremony in the [[SM109|next episode]]. The night after the ritual, Ash battled Hapu in a grand trial and won, earning a [[Steelium Z]], as chosen by {{AP|Pikachu}}, as a reward.

In ''[[SM011|Young Kiawe Had a Farm!]]'', [[Kiawe's grandfather]] was mentioned to have been a kahuna prior to the start of the ''Sun & Moon'' series. In ''That's Some Spicy Island Research!'', it was mentioned that the previous {{isl|Poni}} Island kahuna, unrelated to Hapu or her grandfather, had retired due to age and illness.

In ''[[SM115|The Dealer of Destruction!]]'', the four island kahunas were revealed to have agreed with {{an|Professor Kukui}} to act as [[Battle judge|referees]] during the first [[Alola League|Alola]] [[Pokémon League Conference]], a promise that they would go on to fulfill during the [[Manalo Conference]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Island Kahunas Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Three of the four island kahunas in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
In ''[[PASM02|The Delivery of Rotom and the Girl]]'', the three current island kahunas met in [[Malie Garden]] to discuss the recent sightings of the [[guardian deities]], coming to the conclusion that they had been angered by [[Ultra Beast|something]], and decided to revive the old tradition of [[island challenge]] to appease them.

In ''[[PASM21|Thieving and Boss Crabominable]]'', the island kahunas agreed to make [[Hapu]] the next kahuna of [[Poni Island]] in [[Iki Town]], a decision that was verified when {{p|Tapu Fini}} gave her a [[Sparkling Stone]].
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Every kahuna's typing is weak to either one of the [[guardian deities]]' primary typing, or their {{T|Fairy}} typing.
* Each kahuna wears an article of clothing of the color that corresponds to their island's name and guardian. Hala's Aloha shirt is yellow, Olivia's shirt is pink, Nanu's undershirt is red, and Hapu's bonnet is purple.
* In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, there is a [[Zygarde Core]] at each Kahuna's home.
* All island kahunas keep their Pokémon in [[Ultra Ball]]s.
* The word "kahuna" denotes an expert in a certain profession in Hawaiian. It also has religious connotations, which in turn relates to their connection to the Tapu.

'''Oricorio''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オドリドリ''' ''Odoridori'') is a {{type|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Oricorio can change [[#Form data|forms]] by sipping the [[Nectar]] of certain flowers.
* If [[Red Nectar]] is used on Oricorio, it will change into '''Baile Style''', where it becomes dual-[[type]] {{2t|Fire|Flying}}.
* If [[Yellow Nectar]] is used on Oricorio, it will change into '''Pom-Pom Style''', where it becomes dual-type {{2t|Electric|Flying}}.
* If [[Pink Nectar]] is used on Oricorio, it will change into '''Pa'u Style''', where it becomes dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}}.
* If [[Purple Nectar]] is used on Oricorio, it will change into '''Sensu Style''', where it becomes dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Flying}}.

==Biology==
Oricorio is an avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that can change between four forms by consuming different kinds of nectar. They all have a light pink beak, thin legs, and dark eyes with white pupils. The feet have three toes in front and one in back, and the beak curves downward.

Oricorio is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Revelation Dance}}, which changes its [[type]] according to Oricorio's style. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Dancer}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
====Baile Style====
In its Baile Style, which resides on [[Ula'ula Island]] in [[Alola]] and in eastern [[Paldea]], Oricorio is covered in red feathers with two lines of black feathers across each of its wings and tail. Its plumage resembles a frilly {{wp|flamenco}} dress. On the back of its head is a white ball with thin, spiraled extensions on either side that resemble earrings. Its eyelids are purple, and it has a long tail.

Baile Style Oricorio is very passionate and exudes power when it dances. It can get fiercely angry if it is given the wrong orders, and throws off downy fluff when it dances that it can ignite to perform a fiery dance attack.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/oricorio-(baile-style)/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon | Oricorio (Baile Style)] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160804152159/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/oricorio-(baile-style)/ archived])</ref> Baile Style Oricorio is popular with the people of Paldea due to its dancing style matching their temperament nature.

====Pom-Pom Style====
In its Pom-Pom Style, residing on [[Melemele Island]] in Alola and in southern Paldea, Oricorio is primarily yellow. Most of its body is pale yellow with a line of longer feathers around its waist like a skirt. Its lower body and short stubby tail are covered with short, white feathers. Fluffy balls of darker yellow feathers cover the end of its wings like {{wp|pom-pom}}s, and similar, smaller puffs cover its ankles. In the center of its chest is a yellow, v-shaped marking, and there are fan-shaped markings on the sides of its eyes. The markings around its eyes are echoed by three large, pale yellow feathers on each side of its head, which are tipped with bright yellow.

Pom-Pom Style Oricorio's dancing charges its feathers with static electricity. While charged, its feathers can be used to attack and unleash electric shocks. It will also use its dancing to cheer up people who are feeling glum, but will also use this as an opening to shock unsuspecting foes.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/oricorio-(pom-pom-style)/ Oricorio (Pom-Pom Style) | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160804152209/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/oricorio-(pom-pom-style)/ archived])</ref> In Paldea, Pom-Pom Style is popular with children due to its energetic, cheerful dance. However, it is hard to find in said [[region]].

====Pa'u Style====
In its Pa'u Style, residing on [[Akala Island]] in Alola and in the [[Terarium]]'s [[Coastal Biome]] in [[Unova]], Oricorio has pink feathers. Its main body is a dark pink, while most of its other feathers are varying shades of pink. A fan of three feathers tips each wing: two light pink with a whitish-pink one in the center. On the top of its head is an arrangement of feathers resembling a headdress: a ring of fluffy, light pink feathers with larger, paler feathers standing up from the center. There is a larger, similar group of feathers around its waist like a skirt.

Pa'u Style Oricorio can be difficult to deal with due to its laid-back nature. It uses its dance to focus its mind and increase its psychic power. The dance is also said to be an offering of thanks to its [[Guardian deities|guardian deity]].<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/oricorio-(pa'u-style)/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon | Oricorio (Pa'u Style)] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160804152204/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/oricorio-(pa'u-style) archived])</ref> It gets caught up in dancing that it sometimes ignores its Trainer's orders. In Paldea, Pau'u Style Oricorio is popular due to being used to maintain health, though it is not easily found there and is more commonly seen in the Terarium.

====Sensu Style====
In its Sensu Style, residing on [[Poni Island]] in Alola and in southwest [[Kitakami]], Oricorio's feathers are mainly purple. The tips of its wings broaden into a fan shape, and it has a fan-shaped crest on top of its head. At the base of its crest are four feathers with light blue tips. There are two of these feathers on each side, resembling ornamental {{wp|hairsticks}}. On the side of each eye are small, light blue markings that resemble eyelashes. The edges of its wings, fans, head crest, and long tail all have a double border of pale purple with a light blue on the outer edge. Sensu Style Oricorio is a calm and collected Pokémon.

Through its dance, it draws in nearby spirits and borrows their power to fight. Its dance reminds people who migrated from [[Kanto]] of their homeland.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/oricorio-(sensu-style)/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon | Oricorio (Sensu Style)] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160804152215/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/oricorio-(sensu-style)/ archived])</ref> In Paldea, Sensu Style Oricorio is popular with adults due to its elegant, attractive dance. However, it is more commonly seen in Kitakami.

===Form data===
Oricorio has four interchangeable forms: Baile Style, Pom-Pom Style, Pa'u Style, and Sensu Style.

It can change between its forms by sipping [[Nectar]], with [[Red Nectar]] changing it to Baile Style, [[Yellow Nectar]] changing it to Pom-Pom Style, [[Pink Nectar]] changing it to Pa'u Style, and [[Purple Nectar]] changing it to Sensu Style.

In [[Paldea]], only Baile Style and Pom-Pom Style Oricorio can be found in the wild. In [[Kitakami]], only Sensu Style can be found in the wild. In the [[Terarium]] in [[Unova]], only wild Pa'u Style Oricorio can be found.

Each of Oricorio's four styles has a different primary [[type]]; Oricorio's [[signature move]] {{m|Revelation Dance}} changes type to match the user's primary type. The forms also have different [[cry|cries]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Oricorio (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* The color for each Oricorio form corresponds to the Hawaiian word from which the name of its home island is derived.
* When opening up [[Pokémon Refresh]], due to {{DL|List of glitches in Generation VII|Pokémon Refresh form cry glitch|a glitch}} pertaining to Pokémon with alternate [[form]]s, all four forms of Oricorio use Baile Style's cry.
* Oricorio shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Mr. Mime}}. They are both known as the Dancing Pokémon.
* Oricorio, {{p|Tynamo}}, {{p|Eelektrik}}, and {{p|Eelektross}} are the only Pokémon included in all three of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}'s [[Pokédex]]es.

===Origin===
Oricorio may be inspired by {{wp|Hawaiian honeycreeper}}s, small {{wp|passerine}} birds native to {{wp|Hawaii}}. Oricorio's design especially seems to resemble the [[wp:ʻIʻiwi|Iiwi]], a species of Hawaiian honeycreeper. Hawaiian honeycreepers feed on the nectar of various plants, but each species favors a specific flower that its beak is adapted to. Its dancing may also derive from the {{wp|Courtship display|mating dances}} of some birds.

Its dancing styles are inspired by different forms of dance: the Baile Style refers to {{wp|flamenco}} (baile being a Spanish word for dance - this is supported by its prevalence over the other variants in Paldea and its dex entry), the Pom-Pom Style refers to {{wp|cheerleading}} (its wings resembling pom-poms), the Pa'u Style refers to {{wp|hula}} (pāʻū being a Hawaiian word for skirt, especially ones that may be used in hula), and the Sensu Style refers to {{wp|Buyō|Japanese dance}} (扇子 ''sensu'' being the Japanese word for a folding fan as they are used in such dances, which Oricorio's wings in this form resemble) while also bearing a notable resemblance to a {{wp|geisha}}.

Oricorio may also be inspired by {{wp|Darwin's finches}}, which have different beak shapes depending on which food sources are available on their home islands in the Galapagos.

====Name origin====
Oricorio may be a combination of ''{{wp|Old World oriole|oriole}}'' and ''choreography''. It may also incorporate ''{{wp|oratorio}}''.

Odoridori may be a combination of 踊り ''odori'' (dance), 鳥 ''tori'' (bird), and 色とりどり ''irotoridori'' (varicolored).

'''Ting-Lu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ディンルー''' ''Dinlu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Ground}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

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

Along with {{p|Wo-Chien}}, {{p|Chien-Pao}}, and {{p|Chi-Yu}}, Ting-Lu is a member of the [[treasures of ruin]].

==Biology==
Ting-Lu is a large Pokémon resembling a cloven-hoofed mammal such as a deer or a moose. Its body is composed of layered rock, ranging in color from dark brown to a light tan. Its shoulders are humped. Its head has several red markings, as well as small red eyes and what appears to be a {{wp|dewlap}} on its chin. Upon its head is a large ritual vessel cracked down the middle, with an ornate rectangular pattern resembling eyes at the front, and several antler-like spikes jutting out from the rim.

Like the other treasures of ruin, Ting-Lu's true form is that of the ritual vessel on its head, having been given life by the fear of humans from ancient times — while its body is a form it has constructed using its control over the earth. Ting-Lu is described as being able to create fissures over 160 feet (50 meters) deep just by slowly putting down its head on the ground. It is known as the Vessel of Ruin.

Ting-Lu and the other treasures of ruin are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Ruination}}. Ting-Lu is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Vessel of Ruin}} as an [[Ability]].

{{main|Ting-Lu (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Ting-Lu and the other [[treasures of ruin]] are the first Pokémon whose [[base stats]] were adjusted via a {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Version history|patch}} to the game.
** Furthermore, Ting-Lu was the only one to have a base stat increased during the {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} Version 1.0.1 patch. However, Ting-Lu still suffered an overall base stat decrease by 10 points like the rest of them.

===Origin===
Ting-Lu seems to be based on various species of the deer family, such as the {{wp|moose}}, the {{wp|elk}}, and the {{wp|Père David's deer}}, the latter of which is native to China. In particular, the cracked vessel on its head appears to be based on the broad, palmate antler of the Eurasian elk. Given the Pokédex's reference to its remarkably heavy head, it may also be based on the {{wp|Irish elk}}, an extinct {{wp|cervid}} known to have carried the largest {{wp|antler}}s of any known deer. Deer are known for being skittish and easily scared, tying in to Ting-Lu's origin. The overall design of Ting-Lu may also refer to Chinese stone sculptures along {{wp|sacred way}}s to tombs and mausolea, as well as {{wp|deer stone}}s in the {{wp|Eurasian Steppe}}. The horizontal stripes along its body resembles the {{wp|Stratum|layering of sediments in rock formations}}.

The vessel on Ting-Lu's head is based on a 鼎 ''{{wp|Ding (vessel)|dǐng}}'', an ancient Chinese cauldron that served as a symbol of imperial authority. The deer and ''dǐng'' elements together may be chosen in reference to the pair of phrases: 問鼎 / 问鼎 ''wèndǐng'' (lit. "to inquire about the cauldron") and 逐鹿 ''zhúlù'' (lit. "to hunt for deer"), both of which connotes the vying for supremacy and aspirations for the throne.

Ting-Lu and the other treasures of ruin may be based on the {{wp|Four Perils}} of Chinese mythology. Specifically, Ting-Lu may be based on 饕餮 ''{{wp|Taotie|Tāotiè}}'', a gluttonous beast that is conventionally used by 11th century Chinese antiquarians to name the common beast face motif in ancient bronze vessels; as well as 窮奇 / 穷奇 ''Qióngqí'', which is sometimes depicted as a man-eating deer or bovine. Given that [[Paldea]], the region where it became a Ruinous Pokémon, is based on the {{wp|Iberian peninsula}}, the body shape of Ting-Lu may also take inspiration from zoomorphic {{wp|Iberian sculpture}}s. Specifically, {{wp|verraco}} sculptures are commonly found in Northwestern Iberia, which corresponds to the in-game location of Ting-Lu and the [[Groundblight Shrine]].

It may also be named after the story "The Deer and the Cauldron" (鹿鼎記), which title metaphorically references a ruler's hunger for power and the plight of the common people after a ruler loses his grip, connecting to the Treasures' role in the fall of the Paldean Empire.

====Name origin====
Ting-Lu and Dinlu may be a combination of 鼎 ''dǐng'' (ancient Chinese cauldron) and 鹿 ''lù'' (Chinese for deer). The English name is formatted in {{wp|Wade–Giles}}, a romanization system used in the Anglosphere for most of the 20th century.

'''Mewtwo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Mewtwo can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into two different forms:

* '''Mega Mewtwo X''' using the [[Mewtwonite X]].
* '''Mega Mewtwo Y''' using the [[Mewtwonite Y]].

Mewtwo is a clone of {{p|Mew}}, which it is associated with, and they are thus collectively referred to as the [[Mew duo]] by fans. It is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Mountain Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Lumiose Pokédex number|Lumiose Pokédex]].

==Biology==
Mewtwo is an [[artificial Pokémon]]. It is a bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some feline features. Its body is primarily gray with a long, purple tail and a large purple underbelly. On top of its head are two short, blunt, ear-like horns, and it has purple eyes. A tube extends from the back of its skull to the top of its spine, bypassing its neck. It has a defined chest and shoulders, which resemble a breastplate. The three digits on each hand and foot have spherical tips. Its tail is thick at the base but thins before ending in a small bulb.

According to [[Pokémon Mansion journals|journals]] found in [[Kanto]]'s {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, after discovering the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}} and gathering some of its DNA, [[Mr. Fuji]] used it in his mansion to create Mewtwo, a modified clone of Mew with the goal to making it the most powerful Pokémon in existence. It was held and studied in the mansion, where it acquired extreme power and a vicious disposition after enduring horrific gene-splicing experiments. It eventually broke free and fled the mansion, destroying it in the process. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s creation wasn't possible with the amount of {{adv|Mew}}'s cells gathered, so to complete it, [[human]] cells were used instead, specifically from the [[Team Rocket]] [[Team Rocket scientist|scientist]] [[Blaine]]. Due to Blaine possessing some of Mewtwo's cells as well, the two became linked, which granted Blaine to ability to track its whereabouts at the cost of slowly taking his life. Though its DNA is almost the same as Mew's, it is bigger and has a different disposition.

Mewtwo is said to have the most savage heart among all Pokémon, lacking compassion and striking fear into its enemy with cold, glowing eyes. Mewtwo conserves energy by remaining motionless in order to unleash its full power in battle. Because it was engineered to be the ultimate opponent in battle, it can only think of defeating its foes. Though rarely seen in the wild, it is said to be resting in [[Cerulean Cave|dark]] {{kal|Unknown Dungeon|caves}} somewhere. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} was shown to be capable of levitation, mind control, memory erasure, [[Talking Pokémon|telepathy]], {{m|Teleport|teleporting}} others to another location, and the creation of powerful, world-destroying storms. However, it was [[Mewtwo Returns|later shown]] to be caring, protective, and even altruistic. As seen in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} can survive in outer space. In [[POKÉMON Detective Pikachu]], Mewtwo can transfer a human's soul into a Pokémon provided that said Pokémon is in a crazed state, causing the transferred person to gain control of its body and abilities.

Mewtwo is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Psystrike}}.

===Shadow Mewtwo===
A unique {{pkmn2|variant}} of Mewtwo, called [[Shadow Mewtwo]], is very similar to standard Mewtwo, but with dark gray skin, a dark gray tail with a yellowish orange tip, and a shard of [[Ferrum#Shadow Synergy Stone|Shadow Synergy Stone]] coming out of its shoulder. In the past, Anne was almost possessed by a Shadow Synergy Stone but was saved by Mewtwo, whom the Shadow Synergy Stone took control of and merged with instead. Under the stone's influence, Shadow Mewtwo travelled around [[Ferrum]], draining Gaia Power from other normal [[Ferrum#Synergy Stones|Synergy Stones]], which continuously increases its power.

|}
|
|}

===Forms===
Mewtwo has two forms. Mewtwo can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into either Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y. Additionally, Shadow Mewtwo can Mega Evolve into Mega Shadow Mewtwo X by using [[Ferrum#Synergy Burst|Synergy Burst]].

====Mega Mewtwo X====
[[File:Mega Mewtwo X arm.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Mewtwo X stretching its arm.]]
[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Mewtwo X is larger and bulkier than its normal state. The horns on its head are longer and extend from brow-like ridges on its forehead. Additionally, the horns are now pointed and curve upward. It now has two tubes behind its neck, its eyes are light blue, and it has large, purple ridges over its shoulders fusing behind its back as a single, hump-like growth. Its forearms and legs grow much bulkier and gain two protruding ridges resembling veins. Its hands and feet grow bigger, with longer, more prehensile digits. Its tail is slightly shorter and stiffer than before and has a curled tip.

Due to the Mega Evolution, Mega Mewtwo X's physical power received a formidable boost. Its muscles are augmented with psychic power, giving it a grip strength of one ton and the ability to sprint 100 meters in two seconds. As revealed in [[Pokkén Tournament]], it can stretch its arms and legs in {{pkmn|battle}}.

=====Mega Shadow Mewtwo X=====
Mega Shadow Mewtwo X greatly resembles its normal counterpart, though it maintains its dark gray coloring due to the influence of the Shadow Synergy Stone. The glowing yellow-orange of the stone's infection is no longer confined to its tail, spreading to both of its shoulder growths, its arm ridges, and the tips of its ears. Additionally, the Y-shaped line running across its body (now including its legs) glows the same yellowish-orange color.

Like its counterpart, Mega Shadow Mewtwo X can stretch its arms and legs. This unique form is achieved when Shadow Mewtwo uses both [[Ferrum#Synergy Burst|Shadow Synergy Burst]] and collected Gaia Power build up. The transformation can be undone if Shadow Synergy Stone is separated from Mewtwo.

====Mega Mewtwo Y====
Mega Mewtwo Y is smaller and lighter, losing its long tail, underbelly, and the tube behind its neck. However, it grows a long, purple appendage with a curled tip from the back of its head that is similar to its previous form's tail. On its head, it has two pointed, backward-curving spikes and a half-ring structure connecting to the base of each and crossing over the top of its head. Its eyes are now red and slightly larger. The digits on its hands and feet are now purple and more bulbous and the middle toe is longer than the others. A bumpy ridge similar to a {{wp|sternum}} replaces the breastplate structure on its chest, but this form is still largely smoother than the other two.

Despite its decreased size, it has phenomenal mental power and is capable of smashing buildings with a mere thought. Mega Mewtwo Y stays constantly in the air due to its smaller size and increased power.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Mewtwo%20X Mega Mewtwo Y | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Mewtwo%20X archived])</ref>

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
====In the core series games====
* These notable Trainers all use Mewtwo:
** In {{G|Black 2 and White 2}}, in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], during the downloadable tournament [[The Battle Between Legendary Pokémon]], [[Sabrina]] will use a Mewtwo as part of her team.
** [[Giovanni]] uses a Mewtwo in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}'s [[Episode RR]]. It will [[Mega Evolve]] into either Mega Mewtwo X in Ultra Sun, or Mega Mewtwo Y in Ultra Moon.

====In the spin-off games====
* [[Pokémon Stadium]]: [[Pokémon Stadium#Vs. Mewtwo|Mewtwo]] is the player's final opponent.
* {{g|Pinball}}: Mewtwo appears in its own bonus stage, where the player must attempt to hit it 25 times within the two-minute time limit to win. Playing this stage repeatedly is the fastest way to build a high score, due to the extremely high point output of 50,000,000 points per hit earned by hitting Mewtwo.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]: Mewtwo is the final boss of the game, battled once under the control of the evil [[Edward]] "The Thinker", and again under [[Purple Eyes]]. Before this, it is seen charging up in [[Kasa]]'s laboratory in the [[Sky Fortress]].
* {{g|Puzzle League}}: {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} reveals that it organized the Puzzle League to find a worthy foe and clones [[Ash Ketchum]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In the Very Hard and Super Hard modes, Mewtwo is the final opponent.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Mewtwo sleeps in the depths of the [[Western Cave]]. Its slumber is interrupted by the arrival of Blastoise and [[Team A.C.T.|Charizard]], whom it defeats without an issue. Once the player confronts it at the deepest parts of the cave, it is possible to recruit Mewtwo.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Mewtwo appears, having [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] into Mega Mewtwo Y in order to telepathically link up the Pokémon of the world together to try and stop the [[Tree of Life]]'s ascent into space. Like all the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] gathered for this effort, Mewtwo is turned into stone when [[Dark Matter]] is able to regenerate itself. After Dark Matter's defeat, Mewtwo stays at the [[Island of Isolation]] as its lone inhabitant, and can be recruited if it is defeated.
* {{g|Quest}}: A telepathic Mewtwo appears as the final boss of Pokémon Quest. It is trapped (in a vague, undefined manner) in the [[Chamber of Legends]]. It discretely takes control of [[MoBee]] to talk to the [[player (Quest)|player]], in order to lure the player across [[Tumblecube Island]] and collect the {{OBP|statue|Quest}}s that open the Chamber. Once encountered it battles the player's Pokémon to test itself. It did not recover fully from the time it was sealed away, and the player defeats it in battle. After being defeated, Mewtwo departs from the island. After the credits, it telepathically informs the player about [[Happenstance Island]].
* These notable Trainers all use Mewtwo:
** In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], the [[Silver (game)|Rival]] will use a Mewtwo as part of his team.
** In {{G|Battle Revolution}}, during the [[Masters Battle/Set 8|Masters Battle Set 8]], [[Mysterial]] will use a Mewtwo as part of his team.

Similar to the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Mewtwo was created by [[Team Rocket]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

It was completed by [[Blaine]] sometime before ''[[PS034|And Mewtwo Too?!]]'', where it escaped from the hideout and settled into [[Cerulean Cave]].

Three!]]'' and leaving it under the [[Gym Leader]]'s care.

It returned in the {{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, teaming up with Red, the only person to have put it in a [[Poké Ball]], to fight against {{adv|Giovanni}} and his {{adv|Deoxys}}. During this appearance, it was revealed to have gained the ability to {{pkmn2|talking|talk}} telepathically.

In the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}, Mewtwo reappeared in [[Kalos]], having reunited with Blaine and become the protector of [[Pokémon Village]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Shadow Mewtwo.png|thumb|100px|Shadow Mewtwo's unique aura]]
* One of the [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] states Mewtwo's birthday is February 6.
** The same journal implies {{p|Mew}} was impregnated with the modified clone, just like with real-life cloning. All other depictions show Mewtwo being grown using laboratory equipment.
* Mewtwo comes before Mew in the [[Pokédex]] despite being created from its modified DNA.
* Even though Mewtwo is a clone of Mew, a [[Mythical Pokémon]], Mewtwo is classified as a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
* Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English [[dub]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].
* Mewtwo has the most {{pkmn|animated series}} opening appearances of any Legendary Pokémon, with seven in Japan.
* Mewtwo and {{p|Charizard}} share several similarities regarding [[Mega Evolution]]. Both were the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have two Mega Evolutions instead of one, with their Y Mega Evolutions having been revealed before their X ones. Both Pokémon change their [[type]] in their X Mega Evolutions while they remain the same type in their Y Mega Evolutions. Both X Mega Evolutions are {{stat|Attack|physically}} oriented while their Y Mega Evolutions are {{stat|Special Attack|specially}} oriented.
* Mewtwo is depicted on the door of [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', despite having only been seen by [[Team Rocket scientist|its creators]] and [[Team Rocket]] at that point in the animated series. Similarly, Mewtwo's sprite was depicted as a portrait in [[Viridian Gym]], despite being a public area.
* The island country of {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Mewtwo as part of a commemorative promotion for the ''[[Pokémon]]'' franchise, with Mewtwo on the reverse side and the nation's crest on the obverse.
* Mewtwo was originally depicted as the only member of its species, being a clone of Mew. In the {{pkmn|animated series}} and {{pkmn|manga}}, however, it is implied that multiple Mewtwo have been created.
* Mega Mewtwo Y was the first Mega Evolution revealed to the public.
** It was also the first to appear in the animated series, even before Mega Evolution was announced.
** Prior to the announcement of Mega Evolution, Mega Mewtwo Y was referred to as its 「覚醒した姿」 ''Awakened Form''.<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref> This term was also used in the {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation of the movie}}.
** Mega Mewtwo Y was designed by [[Tomohiro Kitakaze]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kitakazeee/status/1149513798115459073 Tweet by 北風友裕 (@kitakazeee).] Posted on July 12, 2019.</ref>
* Mewtwo's Mega Evolutions are tied with Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} for the highest base stat total of all Pokémon, with 780, excluding the unobtainable [[Eternamax]] {{p|Eternatus}}.
** Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} of all Pokémon, as well as the highest single base stat and base {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.
** Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest single base stat of all {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.
*** With a Mild [[Nature]], perfect [[IV]]s, and optimized [[EV]]s, a [[Level]] 100 Mega Mewtwo Y's stats sum to 2038, the highest sum of any Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon GO]], Shadow Mewtwo is the only {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}} that has a different aura from the other Shadow Pokémon that isn't an Apex Shadow; instead of purple fire, it is surrounded by an aura resembling its Psychic power. It does not have a unique appearance when purified, however.
* Mewtwo is currently the only Legendary Pokémon in {{g|GO}} to have an [[Event Pokémon (GO)|event-exclusive form]].
* In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, {{pkmn2|wild}} Mewtwo are programmed to always be holding a [[Berserk Gene]], but Mewtwo can't be obtained in those games without trading. Even if Mewtwo could be found in the wild, the Berserk Gene would be consumed immediately, so the item wouldn't be obtainable.
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}'s base stats are based on Mewtwo's, with some values swapped.
* Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y are the only Mega Evolutions introduced in [[Generation VI]] that are currently unavailable in Pokémon GO.
* In Pokémon Pokopia, Mewtwo breaks out of a Master Ball. This is the second time a Pokémon has done this, with the first being Terapagos in Scarlet and Violet’s Indigo Disk DLC.
* Mega Mewtwo Y is the one of four Mega Evolutions that are smaller than the Pokémon itself. The others are Mega [[Gengar]] (which only shrinks because it is partially clipping under the floor), Mega [[Alakazam]] (which loses size due to it assuming a sitting position) and Mega [[Falinks]].

===Origin===
Like Mew, Mewtwo has some domestic {{wp|cat}} and {{wp|embryo}} characteristics, but its body structure is much larger as a result of {{wp|Recombinant DNA|gene splicing}}. It also has some characteristics of a {{wp|grey alien}} and a {{wp|salamander}}. Its tail resembles an {{wp|umbilical cord}}.

Mega Mewtwo Y, much like Mew, has characteristics of a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}.

====Name origin====
Mewtwo may be a combination of ''{{p|Mew}}'' or ''mutant (ミュータント)'' and ''two''.

'''Pombon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポムケン''' ''Pomuken'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation X]].

Along with {{p|Browt}} and {{p|Gecqua}}, Pombon is one of the three [[first partner Pokémon]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Winds and Waves]]. They were also the first Generation X Pokémon to be revealed to the public on February 27, 2026, through a [[Pokémon Presents]] video presentation.

==Biology==
Pombon is a short canine Pokémon with a large head, short limbs, and a curly tail. Its body is covered in fluffy fur that is almost entirely orange. Some parts of its fur that aren't orange include the yellow on the tip of its snout and the red on the tuft of fur on its head, as well as red on its chest, below its throat. Inside Pombon's lungs is an organ that generates heat, which causes the red area on its chest to glow slightly.<ref name=WWsite/> Pombon also has a red nose and red paw pads.

Pombon is described to have an innocent, friendly temperament.<ref name=WWsite>[https://windswaves.pokemon.com/en-us/ Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves | Announcement Trailer] — Pokemon.com</ref>


==Trivia==
* Pombon shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Lillipup}}, {{p|Rockruff}}, {{p|Yamper}}, and {{p|Fidough}}. They are all known as the Puppy Pokémon.

===Origin===
Pombon may be based on the {{wp|Pomeranian dog}} breed.

====Name origin====
Pombon may be a combination of ''Pomeranian'' and ''bonfire''. It may also reference ''bonbon'', as a reference to its small size and rotund body.

Pomuken may be a combination of ''Pomeranian'', 炎 ''homura'' (flame), and 犬 ''ken'' (dog).

'''Rockruff''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イワンコ''' ''Iwanko'') is a {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Lycanroc}} starting at [[level]] 25. The {{fd|Lycanroc|form}} of Lycanroc that it evolves into depends on the {{DL|Time|Time-based Evolutions|time}}, as well as its [[Ability]], which corresponds to one of Rockruff's [[#Form data|two visually indistinct forms]].
* Rockruff with the Abilities {{a|Keen Eye}}, {{a|Vital Spirit}}, or {{a|Steadfast}} evolve into:
** '''Midday Form''' Lycanroc when leveled up during the day.
** '''Midnight Form''' Lycanroc when leveled up at night.
* Rockruff with the Ability {{a|Own Tempo}} evolve into '''Dusk Form''' Lycanroc when leveled up during the evening.
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

==Biology==
[[File:Rockruff SM concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Concept art from {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Rockruff is a quadrupedal, canine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is primarily light brown with a darker brown muzzle, paws, and ear tips. It has large blue eyes, {{wp|Canine terminology#Ears|button ears}}, a short muzzle with a triangular pink nose, and a short tuft of fur on each cheek. Around its neck is a ruff of grayish-white fur stubbed with dark brown pebbles. The dark brown markings on its paws extend to a thin point on each wrist and ankle. It has a grayish-white tail that curls tightly over its back and is covered in fluffy fur.

Rockruff has an excellent sense of smell and will never forget an odor after smelling it once. There are tales of it reuniting with its Trainer after becoming lost by following the faintest traces of scent. It has lived with humans since ancient times. Rockruff is often recommended as a good Pokémon for beginner Trainers due to its friendly nature and ability to bond with Trainers easily. However, Rockruff is said to be a challenging Pokémon to raise, to the point where some Trainers abandon it due to being unable to handle it. This Pokémon is very sociable and will greet others by rubbing them with the rocks around its neck. As it ages, Rockruff becomes wilder and more independent. Once it is close to evolving, it will begin to howl when the sun goes down. It has been said to leave its Trainer's side and return once it has evolved. Despite becoming more vicious as it matures over time, Rockruff never forgets its master's kindness. Wild Rockruff travels in packs until it evolves. A persistent Pokémon, it will keep going until it outlasts foes that are even more powerful.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/rockruff/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Rockruff]</ref> Rockruff intimidates opponents by using the rocks on its neck to hit the ground. As mentioned in ''[[SM015|Rocking Clawmark Hill!]]'', Rockruff trains itself by running around. It attacks foes the moment they flinch. It has been known to fight with {{p|Growlithe}} over territory.

===Evolution===
Rockruff can evolve into Midday Form, Midnight Form, or Dusk Form {{p|Lycanroc}}.

===Form data===
While Rockruff does not have visually distinct forms, Rockruff with the {{Abilities}} {{a|Keen Eye}}, {{a|Vital Spirit}}, and {{a|Steadfast}} are internally considered to be a distinct form from Rockruff with the Ability {{a|Own Tempo}}.

Rockruff with {{a|Own Tempo}} cannot be traded on [[Wonder Trade]], likely due to {{g|Sun and Moon}} not being programmed with Rockruff's alternate form. Due to being a separate form, Rockruff with Own Tempo behave according to {{DL|Breeding|Inheriting forms|form inheritance rules}} when bred, rather than Ability inheritance rules. Rockruff with Own Tempo and Dusk Form Lycanroc can {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} to produce more Rockruff with Own Tempo. After initially being {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive, Own Tempo Rockruff and Dusk Form Lycanroc were later made accessible within normal gameplay starting in [[Generation VIII]].

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Rockruff with Own Tempo will not have its Pokédex number displayed when viewed from the {{pkmn|Storage System|Box}}es, similar to species not found in the Paldean Pokédex. This quirk doesn't occur for all visually indistinct forms or forms without separate Pokédex entries. For example, {{p|Scatterbug}} and {{p|Spewpa}} each have 20 separate forms internally (one for each {{p|Vivillon}} pattern), but will display their Pokédex number regardless if they would evolve into a form other than Fancy Pattern Vivillon, which is the only form native to [[Paldea]].

===Evolution data===
Rockruff [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Lycanroc}} starting at [[level]] 25. The [[Lycanroc (Pokémon)#Form data|form]] Rockruff evolves into depends on the {{DL|Time|Time-based Evolutions|time}}, as well as its [[Ability]], which corresponds to one of Rockruff's [[#Form data|two visually indistinct forms]].

Rockruff with the Abilities {{a|Keen Eye}}, {{a|Vital Spirit}}, or {{a|Steadfast}} evolve into Midday Form Lycanroc when leveled up during the day, and Midnight Form Lycanroc when leveled up at night. In [[Generation VII]], Rockruff only evolves into Midday Form Lycanroc in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun}}, and Midnight Form Lycanroc in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon}}.

Rockruff with the Ability {{a|Own Tempo}} is a separate form that can only evolve into Dusk Form Lycanroc. It evolves into this form when leveled up during the evening: from 5:00 to 5:59 PM in in-game time in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon (equating to 5:00 to 5:59 PM in real-time in Ultra Sun and 5:00 to 5:59 AM in real-time in Ultra Moon), from 7:00 to 7:59 PM in real-time in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, and for a period lasting 3 minutes out of the 72-minute day/night cycle in {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}}. Additionally, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon run a third check due to Own Tempo Rockruff being event-exclusive: if the byte 0x1D doesn't match to 0B (Fateful Encounter, Own Tempo "form"), then it will act as a regular Rockruff, and it will not evolve into Dusk Form.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Rockruff (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Rockruff shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Lillipup}}, {{p|Yamper}}, and {{p|Fidough}}. They are all known as the Puppy Pokémon.
* Rockruff is tied with {{p|Cranidos}} for the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.
* Rockruff is tied with {{p|Roggenrola}} and {{p|Nacli}} for the lowest base stat total of all Rock-type Pokémon.

===Origin===
Rockruff appears to be based on the {{wp|spitz}} breed of dogs. It may also be based on the {{wp|Japanese wolf}}, which is often associated with rocks and mountains. The fur with rocks around its neck may be based on a {{wp|wolf collar}}. Given its introduction in Alola, it may also be based on the now extinct {{wp|Hawaiian Poi Dog}} and the tradition of infants in a certain part of Hawaii that would be given a Hawaiian Poi puppy at birth. If they died before the dog did, the dog would be killed and buried with them, or in the case of the child outliving the dog, the dog's teeth would be made into a necklace for the human to wear. This appears to correspond with Rockruff's bone necklace-like collar and its earthly typing.

====Name origin====
Rockruff may be a combination of ''rock'', ''ruff'' (onomatopoetic word for barking, or the fur around its neck), ''ruffle'' (referring to its collar's shape) and ''rough''.

Iwanko may be a combination of 岩 ''iwa'' (rock), ワン ''wan'' (onomatopoetic word for barking), わんこ ''wanko'' (doggy), and 子 ''ko'' (young animal).

'''Popplio''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アシマリ''' ''Ashimari'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Brionne}} starting at [[level]] 17, which evolves into {{p|Primarina}} starting at level 34.

Along with {{p|Rowlet}} and {{p|Litten}}, Popplio is one of the three [[Alola first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Alola]] available at the beginning of {{game4|SMUSUM}}. They were also the second [[Generation VII]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on May 10, 2016, after {{p|Magearna}}.

==Biology==
[[File:0728Popplio 2.png|thumb|250px|left|Popplio making bubbles from water]]
Popplio is a {{wp|pinniped}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is primarily blue. It has large eyes, a long, white snout with black whiskers, and a round, pink nose. There is a small, rounded earflap on each side of its head. Around its neck is a light blue ruff, which extends past its shoulders. It has four flippers. The front flippers are larger than the hind and have white markings separating its toes.

Popplio can snort bubbles of water from its nose, which it uses as part of its battle strategy. On land, it uses the elasticity of its bubbles to perform acrobatic stunts and jumps. Popplio practices daily with increasingly larger water bubbles. The sheer force of their bubbles bursting can deal a lot of damage. It can swim at 25 mph (40 km/h)<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/popplio/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Popplio]</ref> Popplio has complete control of its water bubbles. Popplio is famous for its hard-working nature. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]].

Popplio and its evolved forms are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Liquid Voice}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Popplio evolves into {{p|Brionne}}, which evolves into {{p|Primarina}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Popplio shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Seel}} and {{p|Dewgong}}. They are all known as the Sea Lion Pokémon.
* Popplio's Japanese name and its romanization were revealed in [https://twitter.com/trademark_bot/status/721918697921777664 a tweet] of their trademark on April 17, 2016.
* Popplio and its evolved forms are the only [[first partner Pokémon]] to [[List of Pokémon by shape|have a piscine body]].

===Origin===
Popplio may be based on a {{wp|sea lion}} and a {{wp|Hawaiian monk seal}} with elements of a {{wp|circus clown}}. Popplio's propensity for blowing bubbles from its nose may also be based on common circus trick where sea lions balance balls on their noses or on the {{wp|hooded seal}} and its inflatable nasal cavity.

When it is viewed standing up from the front with its head pointed up, it resembles the alchemical symbol for {{wp|Mercury (element)|mercury}}, which represented water in alchemy. This is to complement [[Litten]]'s forehead resembling the symbol for sulfur and [[Rowlet]] resembling the symbol for salt.

====Name origin====
Popplio may be a combination of ''sea lion pup'', ''pop'', ''pōpō'' (Hawaiian for ''ball''), and ''ʻīlio-holo-i-ka-uaua'' (Hawaiian for the ''{{wp|Hawaiian monk seal}}''; meaning "dog that runs in rough water").

Ashimari may be a combination of 海驢 ''ashika'' (sea lion), 鞠 ''mari'' (ball), and ''marine''.

'''Quaquaval''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウェーニバル''' ''Wanival'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Quaxwell}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Quaxly}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Quaquaval tail SV.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Quaquaval's water feathers]]
Quaquaval is a humanoid avian Pokémon resembling a waterfowl. Its plumage is mostly dark blue, except for the light blue on its shoulders and tail, along with the white on its head, neck, chest, and individual tail feathers. Its face has blue eyes and a pointed yellow beak. Atop its head is a large, flowing, slick, dark blue crest, with long light blue and orange-red feathers at the front, separating the crest from the head. Its forearms have three sets of feathers, each tipped with light blue; and it has what resembles hands with three "fingers" each. Additional light blue accents decorate its waist and legs. Its yellow feet have bulbous segments with three toes each; the front-most segments are orange in color. It has a defined rump and an elaborate-looking tail, with a circular base and three teardrop-shaped feathers decorating it at the top, along with two chains consisting of three feathers flanking it on either side.

In battle, Quaquaval is accompanied with a series of teardrop-shaped decorative water feathers, which are ejected from the organs on its tail feathers and fanned out behind its back. When attacking, these water feathers move forward and spin around Quaquaval's body, making a buzzsaw-like arrangement that it uses to slice into its enemies. Quaquaval's legs are well-trained and have incredible strength, being able to launch a truck away with a single kick. It uses its legs to perform dance moves, some of which appear to be based on dances from faraway lands.<ref name=SVsite/> Quaquaval is viewed by {{p|Tsareena}} as its rival. Quaquaval's dances can mesmerize all those who see it. Even while Quaquaval is asleep, it has been seen swaying its whole body at every opportunity. On occasion, a sleeping Quaquaval has been seen striking elegant poses.

Quaquaval has a cheerful and energetic disposition, dancing away no matter what situation it faces. However, it is also stoic and very serious, especially when it comes to consistently polishing its skills. It can become very focused during critical situations.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/quaquaval/ Quaquaval — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

Quaquaval is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Aqua Step}}.

===Evolution===
Quaquaval evolves from {{p|Quaxwell}} and is the final form of {{p|Quaxly}}.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Quaquaval may be primarily based on a {{wp|peacock}}, as its coloration and water feathers around its tail, which are visually and functionally based on the {{wp|covert feather|train}} of said bird, suggest; as well as on the Iberian {{wp|red-knobbed coot}}, with whom it shares the lobed feet and the red head ornamentation. The {{wp|Crested (duck breed)|crested duck}} or {{wp|Roman goose}} could also take part of its inspiration. The association between ducks or geese and peacocks could date to ancient Rome, where both the crested goose and the peacock were sacred animals of the goddess {{wp|Juno (mythology)|Juno}}.

Quaquaval may also take inspiration from carnivalesque performers, such as those from the {{wp|Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife}} in the Canary Islands, which are known for their distance from the Iberian Peninsula despite still being part of Spain; thing referenced in Quaquaval's Pokédex entries with the mentions to far-away lands. Considering its dancelike movements and exuberant plumage, Quaquaval particularly resembles the {{wp|pt:Escola de samba#A corte da bateria|rainha de bateria}} dancer allegory from the {{wp|Rio Carnival}}, in {{wp|Brazil}}, with its Water typing being a possible reference to Rio meaning River in Spanish and Portuguese. The carnival dance it performs could be inspired by {{wp|Samba (Brazilian dance)|samba}}, an Afro-Brazilian dance often associated with the national identity of Brazil. Its Fighting type and [[signature move]], {{m|Aqua Step}}, may be based on {{wp|capoeira}}, a martial art that combines elements of dance which also originated in Brazil.

Quaquaval could also be inspired by the {{wp|Basque mythology|Basque}} {{wp|Lamia (Basque mythology)|Lamia}}, a duck-footed woman-like cryptid known for living around rivers, where they would often comb their hair.

====Name origin====
Quaquaval may be a combination of ''quá-quá'' (Spanish and Portuguese onomatopoeia for duck sounds), ''aqua'', and ''carnaval'' (Spanish and Portuguese for carnival). The name also appears to draw from the adjective ''quaquaversal'', referring to a pattern that radiates in all directions from a common center; such is the case for the water feathers that fan out from Quaquaval's tail during battle.

Wanival may be a combination of ''wave'' and ''carnival''.

'''Ninetales''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キュウコン''' ''Kyukon'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Vulpix}} when exposed to a [[Fire Stone]].

In [[Alola]], Ninetales has a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Fairy}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Alolan Vulpix when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]]. These Ninetales can also be found in [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]].

==Biology==
Ninetales is a quadrupedal {{wp|canidae|canine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered in thick, luxurious golden-white fur. It has a small mane of thicker fur around its neck and a long, fluffy crest atop its head. It has slender legs with three-toed paws and nine long tails with pale orange tips. It has red eyes, pointed ears, and a triangular black nose.

A legend claims that Ninetales is the [[Human–Pokémon transformation|reincarnation]] of 9 united noble saints. While intelligent enough to easily understand human speech, Ninetales is a vengeful Pokémon known to curse those who mistreat it. Ninetales will also curse anyone who wakes it up by grabbing one of its many tails. The curse can last up to 1,000 years. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], once a Ninetales casts its curse, it cannot be removed even by Ninetales itself. It can live for 1,000 years due to the energy within its nine tails, each of which is said to have a different mystical power. Flames spewed from its mouth can hypnotize an opponent and its gleaming red eyes are said to give it the ability to control minds. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Ninetales is known to sleep while wrapped inside its tails, giving it a mystical appearance.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex entry]]: "Its nine gorgeous tails are said to be imbued with supernatural power. When it sleeps wrapped in its tails, this Pokémon has a mystical appearance, but grabbing one of its many tails to wake it up for fun could result in a 1,000-year curse."</ref> In the [[M01|first Pokémon movie]], it's shown that it can swim. [[Pokémon-Amie]] shows that Ninetales lick their paws to clean themselves. Being the result of an Evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Ninetales are rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

===Forms===
Ninetales has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Ninetales.

In the [[Alola]] region, Ninetales have a different appearance. Its coat is pale blue, and its fur is more flowing and wispier. The tips of its tails and crest and the lower halves of its legs are white. The crest on its head is longer, and its nine tails are less distinct. Additionally, it has larger blue eyes and small tufts of fur in front of its ears.

Alolan Ninetales lives on Alola's snow-capped [[Mount Lanakila]], which some consider holy ground. As such, it is revered as a sacred messenger or deity. Alolan Ninetales has a gentle and calm temperament and is known to aid lost humans in distress, though this is primarily done to keep them out of its territory. It will punish any threat to its pack of {{p|Vulpix}}. Those who anger it will be frozen stiff in an instant. It can produce ice crystals from its fur, which it can use for both offense and defense. The ice crystals can act as a shield or form balls that can be fired like bullets with enough force to shatter rock.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20171219113756mp_/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-ninetales/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Ninetales]</ref> They can also be found in the [[Polar Biome]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]], where Alola's island life is simulated. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Alolan Ninetales can be seen sparkling in its sleep while it bathes the area around it with powdery snow.

===Evolution===
Ninetales evolves from {{p|Vulpix}}.

{{rf|Alolan}} Ninetales evolves from Alolan Vulpix.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', [[Blaine]] used a Ninetales against {{Ash}} in their first [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. It battled {{AP|Squirtle}} and won before being recalled when {{AP|Charizard}} was sent out. Vulpix reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', [[Neesha]]'s Ninetales was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}. The Ninetales clone was seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. Neesha's Ninetales reappeared in ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', a remake of ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'', where it played the same role.

In ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'', [[Zane]]'s Ninetales was used in a [[Pokémon Beauty Contest|Pokémon breeding competition]] and competed against [[Brock's Vulpix|Suzie's Vulpix]]. Ninetales was later among the contestants' Pokémon targeted by {{TRT}}.

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

* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as {{rf|Alolan}} Ninetales.
* Alolan Ninetales is the only Pokémon in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} which requires [[Evolution]] to obtain it.
* Vulpix and Ninetales are the only Pokémon whose Alolan forms are obtainable in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
* Ninetales's name is misspelled as ''Ninetails'' in the {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} for the [[Game Boy Color]] and in some [[Pokémon Red and Green beta#Pokémon names|prerelease material]].
* Ninetales's [[National Pokédex]] [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|number]] and [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]] number are identical: 0038 for the former, and 38 for the latter.
* Alolan Ninetales was featured in the sixth episode of [[Beyond the Pokédex]] series.

===Concept and development===
Ninetales and its pre-Evolution were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://funs-project.com/poplab/007/index_2.html)</ref>

===Origin===
Ninetales is based on a {{wp|fox}}.<ref>[https://funs-project.com/poplab/007/index_2.html Fun's Project interview with Atsuko Nishida (Page 2)]</ref> It may be based on a {{wp|red fox}} and the 狐 ''{{wp|kitsune}}'' of {{wp|Japanese mythology|Japanese legend}}, which are said to have many tails, extremely long lifespans, and supernatural powers such as the ability to breathe fire. After reaching an advanced age, ''kitsune'' take on {{wp|spirit}} forms, which may explain why Ninetales can learn various {{type|Ghost}} and {{type|Psychic}} moves. Specifically, it may be based on the ''kyūbi no kitsune'', whose fur turns white-gold after it has lived for 1,000 years and gains its ninth tail.

Alolan Ninetales may be based on an {{wp|Arctic fox}}, which grows a white coat of fur in the winter to {{wp|camouflage}} in the snow. Its mountain habitat and lore as a deity incarnation may be a reference to {{wp|Poliʻahu}}, the {{wp|Hawaiian}} goddess of snow who is said to reside on {{wp|Mauna Kea}}. It could also be inspired by ''tulikettu'', a mythical fox creature of Finnish lore whose radiant fur is said to be responsible for the creation of the {{wp|Aurora|northern lights}}, tying in to it being able to use [[Aurora Veil]]. The Finnish word for aurora, ''revontulet'', also literally translates to "fox fires" which could be intentional as Ninetales' original form is a Fire-type.

====Name origin====
Ninetales may be a combination of ''nine'' and ''tales'', referring to ''{{wp|fairy tale}}s'' (alluding to it being based on a mythical creature) as well as being a homophone to ''tails''. It may also reference the {{wp|cat o' nine tails}} whip (due to its tendency to punish anyone who grabs its tails).

Kyukon may be a combination of 九 ''kyū'' (nine) or 九尾狐 ''kyūbiko'' ({{wp|Fox spirit|nine-tailed fox}}) and こん ''kon'' (onomatopoetic sound of a fox's cry). It may also involve 旧恨 ''kyūkon'' (old grudge) and 焜炉 ''konro'' ({{wp|gas stove}}).

'''Malamar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラマネロ''' ''Calamanero'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Inkay}} starting at [[level]] 30 when leveled up while the game system is held upside-down; or, if playing on the [[Nintendo Switch 2]], while the Joy-Con 2 controllers are attached to the console upside-down.

Malamar will be able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Malamar''' in the upcoming game {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
[[File:MalamarXYPromo58.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Malamar under water]]
Malamar is an amphibious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an upside-down squid. Several purple tentacles with bright blue undersides sprout from the top of its bluish-purple head. It has yellow eyes with black sclerae, a dark pink {{wp|cephalopod beak|beak-like mouth}}, and lighter purple eyelids. Its main body is dark purple and has six circular yellow lights on the front and back. There is also a yellow stripe of light nearly encircling its upper body. Covering its main body is a transparent {{wp|Mantle (mollusc)|mantle}} with two white fins on the bottom that function as legs. On each side of the mantle is a long tentacle with dark pink at the top and white, scythe-like fins at the ends. The edge of Malamar's fins are said to be extremely sharp and can be enhanced using {{m|Psycho Cut|psychic energy}} during battles.

Malamar possesses strong hypnotic powers, which are said to be the most powerful of any Pokémon. It induces hypnosis by flashing the lights on its body and performing certain hypnotic motions. It uses its hypnotic powers to lure in other Pokémon it deems prey, before ensnaring them in its tentacles and finishing them off with its digestive fluids. Malamar can also hypnotize people and control them to do its bidding; those under Malamar's control will lose their memories surrounding the event once the hypnosis wears off. Malamar's hypnotic powers are often used by people for nefarious deeds, and these powers are said to influence several history-changing events. As depicted in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'' and ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', Malamar is shown to be very intelligent — reaching almost human levels — and it is capable of running devices designed and handled by humans.

Both the {{pkmn|animated series}} and the [[TCG]] show Malamar living near water or even under water. As shown in the {{aniseries|XY}} episode ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Malamar uses its tentacles to propel itself, swimming "legs"-first.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]] and in [[Generation IX]], Malamar and its pre-evolved form, Inkay, were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Topsy-Turvy}}.

===Forms===
Malamar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Malamar.

Mega Malamar's body grows to be thinner and taller, and its brain has become larger thanks to the power of Mega Evolution.<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-malamar Mega Malamar | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> The tentacles on its head all wrap around themselves, forming a brain-like shape. It has large shoulders that form the appearance of a popped collar, and under these shoulders are its two longer tentacles that function as arms. Mega Malamar moves around by levitating — the fins that functioned as its "legs" are now joined together.

Mega Malamar exhibits luminescence in many parts of its body: the tentacles on its head have a bright blue glow, while its body emits a shifting rainbow as a result of its overflowing psychic power. The light on Mega Malamar's body further amplifies its hypnotic abilities. The tips of its arms also glow when Mega Malamar uses its hypnotic powers:<ref name=ZAsite/> the tip on its right arm glows teal-green, while the tip on its left arm glows purple. Mega Malamar's tentacle arms allow it to sense the feelings of those around it.<ref name=ZAsite/>

Mega Malamar possesses greatly enhanced psychic powers, allowing it to go beyond simple hypnosis and overwrite the personalities and memories of its targets, making them act entirely different.<ref name=ZAsite/> Mega Malamar can further boost its psychic powers by sticking its arms into its head, stimulating its brain.<ref name=ZAsite2>(September 10, 2025). [https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega-malamar Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Vivid and Brightly Glowing: Get to Know Mega Malamar!] — Pokémon Official Website</ref> Highly intelligent, this Pokémon prefers to battle with efficiency, and uses its powerful intellect to calmly analyze the situation during battles. Mega Malamar's haughty personality makes it see others, including Pokémon Trainers, as pawns, and it may even hypnotize its own Trainer if it disagrees with their commands.<ref name=ZAsite/>

===Major appearances===
====[[Malamar (anime)]]====
An evil, psychopathic Malamar appeared in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''. It had hypnotized an [[Officer Jenny]] to pose as "Madame X". While it was defeated in the end, it escaped. Malamar reappeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', along with two other evil Malamar, where they attempted to initiate their plan of world conquest. After being foiled again, they used a machine to [[Time travel|escape into the future]].

====Other====
Six Malamar appeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', along with the three evil Malamar. Unlike the three evil Malamar, these Malamar were peaceful and lived with Pokémon living in the forest. They later helped [[James]] and {{an|Clemont}} stop the three evil Malamar from completing their plans and rescue their friends.

A Malamar appeared in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', under the ownership of [[Xerosic]]. Xerosic used his Malamar to battle several of Clemont's Pokémon, but it was soon defeated. It reappeared in ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', where it attempted to {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotize}} Clemont, but failed.

A Malamar appeared in ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', under the ownership of [[Alain]]. It fought [[Leon's Charizard]] in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] and lost.

==Trivia==
[[File:My Friend Calamanero Pokémon Center announcement.jpg|thumb|250px|"My Friend Calamanero" Pokémon Center campaign announcement]]
* In addition to {{p|Inkay}}'s method of [[Evolution]] into Malamar being unique, it would have been impossible in any of the previous [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] because the [[Nintendo 3DS]] is Nintendo's first handheld system with an internal {{wp|gyroscope}}.
* Malamar and its pre-Evolution were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref>
* Malamar and its pre-Evolution are the only Pokémon to have {{a|Contrary}} as a standard [[Ability]] instead of a [[Hidden Ability]].
* Malamar is the subject of the "[[My Friend Malamar]]" (Japanese: マイ・フレンド・カラマネロ ''My Friend Calamanero'') campaign, which ran from September 4 to 10, 2025. The campaign culminated with the reveal of the [[Mega Evolution]] of Malamar.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HxSr_6RiiY</ref>

===Origin===
Malamar is based on an upside-down {{wp|squid}}. According to Hitoshi Ariga, Malamar's upside-down design was inspired by the fact that squids are commonly illustrated upside-down in pictorial books.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/921753659381202944 Tweet by ありがひとし/HitoshiAriga (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on Oct 21, 2017.</ref> Its hypnosis ability appears to be a reference to the {{wp|cuttlefish}} and its ability to mesmerize prey by rhythmically changing color. Its body orientation and bioluminescence may also have been inspired by the {{wp|vampire squid}}'s abilities to invert its tentacles and produce light.

Additionally, as alluded to by Ariga,<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1115591492926468096 Tweet by ありがひとし/HitoshiAriga (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on April 9, 2019.</ref> Malamar's physical appearance and its use of hypnosis to forcefully control others may be inspired by a stereotypical extraterrestrial supervillain, a fairly common trope in {{wp|tokusatsu}} shows. Its tentacles acting as living hair also shares some similarities with {{wp|witches}} and {{wp|gorgon}}-like monsters.

Mega Malamar appears to iterate on the supervillain trope; particularly, its large, swollen brain and the tentacles wrapped aroung its head mirrors super-intelligent characters and genius supervillains in popular media. Its shape may also be based on the {{wp|nervous system}}, with its thin body being the spine.

====Name origin====
Malamar may be a combination of ''mal-'' (Latin-derived prefix for bad), μαλάκιο ''malákio'' (Greek for {{wp|mollusk}}), ''{{wp|calamari}}'', and ''mare'' (Latin for sea). It could also be a reference to the Spanish expression ''mala mar'' (literally "bad sea"), used by fishermen or sailors to describe rough sea conditions.

Calamanero may be a combination of ''calamaro'' (Italian for squid) and ''nero'' (Italian for "black" and "ink"). It may also involve 絡ます ''karamasu'' (to entangle) and 魔 ''ma'' (demon).

'''Volcanion''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ボルケニオン''' ''Volcanion'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Water}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

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

Volcanion was leaked in the January 2016 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine on December 12, 2015, and it was {{n|Volcanion has been officially revealed in English|officially revealed}} on December 14, 2015.

Volcanion is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Central Kalos Pokédex]].

==Biology==
Volcanion is a primarily maroon, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has pointed ears with blue interiors, bright blue eyes, yellow markings over and behind its eyes that resemble eyebrows and eyelashes, a pointed, yellow mandible, and a spike-like protrusion on each cheek. Its body is divided into three segments: a considerably larger front portion that has a hunched back, a thin, blue waist, and smaller hips that resemble its front portion. On its chest are four yellow, diamond-shaped bumps. There is a thin, yellow band around each of its leg joints and the lower, maroon portions of its legs are larger than the thin, blue upper portions. Each ankle has a short, blunt growth, while each foot has three yellow claws. Volcanion has a short, tapering tail with a slightly shorter blue bump along the top. On the back of the front portion of its body are two arm-like cannons. These cannons are normally held together and form a ring around the back. Each cannon is separated into three segments by bright blue lines and each segment has a single blue dot and a short, blunt growth. The topmost segments also have four small, yellow bumps around the ends.

Volcanion has an organ that allows it to vaporize the water it absorbs instantly with extremely high temperatures. The arms on Volcanion's back expel the resulting steam from inside its body, allowing it to disappear into the dense fog. It can expel steam of superbly high pressure and has the ability to blow away mountains. Volcanion is capable of creating explosive shockwaves<ref> https://web.archive.org/web/20160220041348/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/volcanion </ref>. This power also allows Volcanion to gouge out the earth and changing the land by reshaping it. It's said to live in mountains where humans do not tread. Volcanion can run out of water within its body to use, as depicted in the movie ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. When it does, a sound similar to a bell is heard, the lines and dots on its cannons turn red, and it is unable to use any {{type|Water}} moves until it refills its water supply from another source. It was also shown that Volcanion can live for several centuries.

Volcanion is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Steam Eruption}}.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Volcanion (M19)]]=====
Volcanion played a major role in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. It was portrayed as a Pokémon who had a hatred of humans, and was targeting the [[Azoth Kingdom]] to retrieve the man-made Pokémon {{OBP|Magearna|M19}}, of whom only it knew its true identity.

====Minor appearances====
{{-}}

==In the manga==

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Volcanion appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* Volcanion is the only {{Type|Fire}} Pokémon capable of learning {{Type|Water}} moves from level-up, excluding {{M|Hidden Power}} and {{M|Tera Blast}}.
* No other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Volcanion.
* Volcanion is the only Pokémon from the first six [[generation]]s to not appear in [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], as it was not yet officially introduced at the time of the game's release.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it is revealed that Volcanion has been sighted in [[Kalos]], [[Johto]], and [[Sinnoh]], with [[Brandon]] having led expeditions to search for it in those regions.
* Volcanion is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]] to not have an additional [[Form|form.]]

===Origin===
Given Volcanion's mechanical appearance, type combination, and ability to boil water into steam, it may be based on {{wp|steam engine}}s and other {{wp|boiler}}s, while its "arms" function as {{wp|artillery}} weapons. It may draw inspiration from the {{wp|Ryukyu Islands|Ryukyuan}} ''{{wp|shisa}}'' and ''{{wp|komainu}}'', mythical creatures that resemble a mix between {{wp|lion}}s and {{wp|dog}}s, who are often depicted with dragon-like features. Its signature move may refer to {{wp|geyser}}s.

====Name origin====
Volcanion may be a combination of ''volcano'' or ''volcanic'' and ''lion'' or ''union'' (given how it is both Water-type and Fire-type). It may also involve ''canyon'' or ''cañón'' (Spanish for cannon).

'''Ice Burn''' (Japanese: '''コールドフレア''' ''Cold Flare'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Ice}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It is one of the [[signature move]]s of [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|White]] {{p|Kyurem}}.

==Effect==
Ice Burn deals damage and has a 30% chance of {{status|Burn|burning}} the target.

Ice Burn does nothing on the turn it is selected, other than state that the user is cloaked in a freezing air. This charge turn can be skipped using a [[Power Herb]]. On the following turn, Ice Burn will deal damage, PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Ice Burn is selected, the user will not be able to switch out until it is disrupted or fully executed.

If Ice Burn is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted from it, and it will not count as the last move used. If the target uses {{m|Mirror Move}} during the turn that the user is charging, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using Ice Burn (or fail if it cannot).

{{status|Sleep}}, {{status|freeze}}, and [[flinch]]ing will pause but not disrupt the duration of Ice Burn.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
Ice Burn cannot be selected in a battle.

Ice Burn gives the user the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Ice Burn}} status condition for a turn, and will then unleash the move on the next turn, dealing damage to enemies in the same room. It may leave the target with a {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|burn}}.

==={{g|GO}}===
In Pokémon GO, Ice Burn is a Charged Attack that was made available on February 21, 2025. White Kyurem can only know this move if Kyurem knew {{m|Glaciate}} prior to {{GO|fusion}}. Its {{DL|Move (GO)|Adventure Effect}} outside of battle will make it so the catch circle during encounters moves slower and Pokémon is easier to catch. This increased catch rate also includes accessory devices such as the [[Pokémon GO Plus]]. It costs 5,000 Stardust and 5 Kyurem Candy, and lasts 10 minutes.

==Trivia==
* This move seems to draw reference to both {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Kyurem}}, as it is an {{type|Ice}} move and its side-effect is related to the {{t|Fire}} type. Furthermore, in {{game|Black and White|s}}, the animation for the actual attacking part resembles that of {{m|Blue Flare}}, one of Reshiram's [[signature move]]s.
** {{m|Freeze Shock}}, a move variation of Ice Burn, likewise references Kyurem and Zekrom.
* Ice Burn is tied with Freeze Shock for the highest base power of all Ice-type moves, excluding [[Z-Move]]s, [[Max Move]]s, and [[G-Max Move]]s.
** A {{m|Subzero Slammer}} based on either of them has the highest base power of all Ice-type moves.
* Ice Burn is the only Ice-type move that is able to cause {{status|burn}}, excluding {{m|Tri Attack}} and {{m|Secret Power}} that have been changed to Ice-type by {{a|Refrigerate}}.
** The burn side-effect may be a reference to {{wp|frostbite}}, which is similar to a burn.
** It may also reference {{wp|Sodium_acetate|sodium acetate}}, which is commonly called "hot ice" due to its superficial similarities to ice but possesses hot temperatures due to the process of crystallization releasing heat.
* Ice Burn and Freeze Shock are programmed into {{game|Black and White|s}}, but were not legitimately usable prior to the release of Black 2 and White 2, in which a {{p|Smeargle}} that has {{m|Sketch}}ed the moves can be traded back to Black and White.

'''Koraidon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コライドン''' ''Koraidon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

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

It is said to be either an ancient relative of {{p|Cyclizar}} or a counterpart of it from a parallel timeline. It also has a futuristic variant, {{p|Miraidon}}.

Koraidon is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet}}, appearing on the game's box art in its Apex Build. In the [[Scarlet Book]], it is also known as the "'''Winged King'''" (Japanese: '''ツバサノオウ''' ''Tsubasano'ou''). Along with Miraidon, it is considered part of the [[Paradox duo]] by fans.

==Biology==
[[File:Apex Build Koraidon wings.png|thumb|left|250px|Apex Build Koraidon with its wings unfurled]]
Koraidon is a large, {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} primarily covered in scarlet feathers with white accents on its cheeks, upper body, thighs, and tail. Its most notable feature is a tire-like {{wp|Gular skin|gular sac}} on its throat, which inflates and deflates depending on its form. Koraidon's head has a {{wp|Crest (feathers)|crest}} of feathers and a pair of long, twisted, brow-plume-like tendrils. Additional feathers at the base of its tail transition from blue to purple and end in white tips, creating a striking appearance. Its eyes have yellow sclerae, orange irises, and brown pupils, with red plumes giving the impression of eyebrows. Koraidon's body is adorned with blue markings on its elbows and shoulders, as well as blue frills down its neck. From each shoulder, a curved, handlebar-like structure extends backward. It has webbed feet, each with four claws; the two central claws are sometimes held close together, making it appear as though there are only three. The gular sac and base of its tail share a grooved texture, but the sac is also lined with spikes.

Aware of its formidable strength, Koraidon exudes confidence and rarely feels threatened. Though cautious around [[human]]s, its curiosity sometimes leads it to play with them. Its power surges under [[harsh sunlight]] due to an {{a|Orichalcum Pulse|ancient energy}} coursing through its body. In battle, Koraidon will {{m|Collision Course|unfurl its wings and crash into}} its targets with explosive force. While Koraidon bears a resemblance to modern-day {{p|Cyclizar}}, it is known to be far more ferocious and muscular.

The origins of Koraidon in the present day trace back to a [[time machine]] constructed by [[Professor Sada]], which brought two specimens to [[Area Zero]] a decade ago. These two individuals displayed contrasting temperaments: {{ga|Koraidon|one}} was friendly and curious, while the [[Area Zero#Area Zero Depths|other]] was aggressive and territorial. 200 years prior to the events of Scarlet and Violet, [[Heath]] also encountered a Koraidon, as seen in the [[Scarlet Book]], though it is unclear how it arrived in Area Zero at the time. According to [[AI Sada]], it is an ancient Pokémon related to {{p|Cyclizar}}. However, a version of Professor Sada that appeared at the [[Crystal Pool]] suggests that Koraidon is a counterpart to Cyclizar from an alternate timeline. It was formerly referred to as the "Winged King" in the Scarlet Book, with its current name coined by Professor Sada, potentially as a result of a {{wp|bootstrap paradox}}.

Koraidon has five different {{form|Form-like transformations|transformations}} it can change between as it traverses varying terrain and adapts to different situations. In its "Apex Build", Koraidon shifts to a bipedal stance and adopts a poised, battle-ready posture. The feathers on its head and rear unfold and stand upright, forming a crest that resembles a {{wp|war bonnet}}. The gular sac on its throat inflates, displaying a red, gear-like pattern, while the base of its tail becomes more robust. Koraidon's claws spread apart, revealing the white membranes between its toes. During battle, Koraidon leverages its immense strength and array of natural weapons to overpower opponents, including powerful jaws, sharp claws, and a sturdy tail. Its legs possess extraordinary strength, allowing it to leap over 65 feet into the air and use the momentum from its falls for devastating kicks and body slams.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/koraidon/ Koraidon — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> It is said to have the power to shatter the ground with its fists alone. According to [[Arven]], this is Koraidon's true form. In its "Limited Build", Koraidon reverts to a quadrupedal stance. The feathers on its head and rear are folded and closed, and the gular sac retracts, exposing a tire-like protrusion. The webbing between its claws is not visible, as its central claws stay close together. Koraidon typically takes on this form when weakened or not engaged in battle. In all travel forms, Koraidon's tail stays tucked in, displaying a pattern similar to that found on its gular sac. In its "Sprinting Build", Koraidon tucks its tail and runs on all fours, allowing it to reach high speeds and climb steep cliffs. In its "Swimming Build", the gular sac inflates, enabling Koraidon to float on water. It propels itself by paddling with its webbed feet. In its "Gliding Build", the tendrils on Koraidon's head unfurl into wings, allowing it to glide or even fly through the sky.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref><ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/flying/ Unlock the Power to Fly with Koraidon or Miraidon! - Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

Koraidon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Collision Course}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Orichalcum Pulse}} as an [[Ability]].

==Trivia==
* Koraidon and {{p|Miraidon}} are the only [[Paradox Pokémon]]:
** Whose names follow regular Pokémon naming conventions.
*** To not have different names between languages.
** To each have their own unique Abilities.
* Of all Pokémon, Koraidon and Miraidon have the highest number of forms that are obtainable in some capacity yet unusable in battle, as they each use three forms solely for travel and are obtained in their fourth 'low-power' forms, yet can only battle in their 'high-power' forms.
** Curiously, the forms are fully usable in battle when hacked into the game, albeit with various glitches and oddities.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Scarlet_and_Violet#Dex_Entries Miraidon & Koraidon's Ride forms on The Cutting Room Floor]</ref>
*** In its unused Pokédex entry, non-Apex Build Koraidon is 11'6" / 3.5m tall, the same height as Ultimate Mode {{p|Miraidon}}, and taller than Apex Build Koraidon.
** {{p|Rotom}} has five forms that are unusable in battle ([[Rotom Pokédex|Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone|Phone]], [[Rotom Bike|Bike]], [[Rotomi]], [[Drone Rotom|Drone]]), but Rotomi and Drone Rotom are completely unobtainable.
* The builds of Koraidon in Japanese and Korean use {{wp|Sino-Japanese vocabulary|Sino-Japanese}} and {{wp|Sino-Korean vocabulary|Sino-Korean}} words respectively, showing tradition and the past, while the modes of {{p|Miraidon}} in the same languages use borrowed words from English, showing modernity.
* Despite being able to swim and fly with the player on its back, Koraidon cannot learn {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Fly}}. It shares this trait with its counterpart {{p|Miraidon}}.
* Koraidon is the subject of the [[Honda Koraidon Project]], which sought to recreate the Pokémon as a mobile model.

===Origin===
Koraidon may be based on an amalgamation of various lizards, dinosaurs, and vague depictions of European fantasy dragons. It notably resembles the {{wp|Dactyloidae|anole}} and the genera ''{{wp|Sitana}}'' and ''{{wp|Sarada (lizard)|Sarada}}''—the latter two are collectively known as fan-throated lizards. It also has traits from other lizard species, namely the frills of the {{wp|iguana}}, the feet of the {{wp|gecko}}, and the prehensile tail of the {{wp|chameleon}}. It also bears some resemblance to the basilisk, a creature from medieval European mythology particularly popular in the Iberian Peninsula.

Koraidon's feathers may be a reference to {{wp|feathered dinosaur}}s, while its bipedal stance in its Apex Build is reminiscent of older depictions of {{wp|theropod}} dinosaurs. Furthermore, its signature move of {{m|Collision Course}} alludes to the asteroid that caused the {{wp|Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event}}, which eliminated most dinosaur species on Earth. Its head shape, its posture in its Apex Build and its alternate name, "Winged King", may be a reference to the ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'', colloquially known as the "King of the Dinosaurs" due to its {{wp|type species}}, ''T. rex'', being named with the Latin word for "king": the word ''Tyrannosaurus'' itself is Greek for "King Lizard." As they're displayed mostly on the head and in the waist area, the colorful feathers might be reference to ancient cultures in general, as opposed to Miraidon's futuristic look. Ancient civilizations (notably Central and South American) and tribes often used bird feathers as ornaments and symbol of status. Koraidon's twisted tendrils also resemble the brow-plumes on the {{wp|King of Saxony bird-of-paradise}}.

Some elements of Koraidon's design may be based on parts of off-road motorcycles (such as {{wp|chopper (motorcycle)|choppers}} or dirt bikes built for off-road or natural terrains). This is shown by its brow plumes and shoulders which are similar to handlebars (especially longer ones known as "ape hangers"), and the protrusion on its chest together with its tail resemble rubber tires, the latter especially when curled. Koraidon may have conceptually been influenced by {{wp|cave paintings}}, as indicated by the ancient past motifs as well as its red color scheme; the oldest known cave painting is a red hand stencil found in the {{wp|caves of Maltravieso}} in Spain, one of the inspirations of the Paldea region.

Additionally, due to its color scheme, its status as a [[Paradox Pokémon]], and it being the mascot of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], it could be based on infared, a color that exists beyond the human visible light spectrum. It can't be seen, but it's still there, much like the confusing and contradictory origins of the Paradox Pokémon. Building on to this, it could be based on the concept of {{wp|Redshift|redshifting}}, which is the phenomenon of things that move away from the observer (i.e things that have already gone by, in the past) appear reddish in color, which would make Koraidon a redshifted version of the green Cyclizar.

====Name origin====
Koraidon may be a combination of 古来 ''korai'' or 古代 ''kodai'' (ancient), ライド ''raido'' (ride), and ''dragon'', ''don'' (Spanish for lord), or ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

Its alternate name, Winged King, is literally ''winged king''.

Tsubasano'ou, its alternate name in Japanese, can be taken literally as 翼の王 ''tsubasa no ō'' (winged king).

In the [[Area Zero journals]], [[Professor Sada]] mentions having named Koraidon. Due to a {{wp|bootstrap paradox}} involving a version of Professor Sada [[time travel]]ing from the past, it is possible that the player in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]] may be responsible for indirectly coining Koraidon's name.

'''Miraidon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミライドン''' ''Miraidon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

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

It is said to be either a future relative of {{p|Cyclizar}} or a counterpart of it from a parallel timeline. It also has an ancient variant, {{p|Koraidon}}.

Miraidon is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet}}, appearing on the game's box art in its Ultimate Mode. In the [[Violet Book]], it is also known as the "'''Iron Serpent'''" (Japanese: '''テツノオロチ''' ''Tetsuno'orochi''). Along with {{p|Koraidon}}, it is considered part of the [[Paradox duo]] by fans.

==Biology==
[[File:Miraidon tongue Adventures.png|thumb|left|180px|Miraidon's robotic tongue]]
Miraidon is a large, robotic, {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a primarily metallic, violet body. Its face, neck, abdomen, tail, and knee joints are silver, while its claws are white. A distinctive feature of Miraidon is the {{wp|gular skin|gular sac}} on its throat, which changes appearance across its various forms. Its head features a small, dark purple {{wp|Casque (anatomy)|casque}} reminiscent of a motorcycle windshield and circular, purple cheek markings. Miraidon's eyes resemble an {{wp|LED display}}, with black sclerae and pupils and pixelated irises that can change pattern to simulate blinking. Each eye is bordered by two connected silver plates that resemble eyelids, from which long blue and yellow plasma-like antennae extend, resembling eyebrows. Miraidon's shoulders are equipped with backward-curving, handlebar-like structures. A black, {{wp|Fender (vehicle)|fender}}-like structure is positioned on its lower back just above the base of its tail. Each of Miraidon's feet has three claws, with the central one marked by a vertical black line. Both its tail and gular sac have grooved surfaces, resembling {{wp|tire tread}}s. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Miraidon is shown to possess a robotic tongue that visually resembles its gular sac.

Despite its mechanical appearance, Miraidon displays behavior that suggests an advanced level of intelligence and perceptiveness. It carefully evaluates a person's character using keen insight before deciding to accompany them. Miraidon's calm and enigmatic nature makes it difficult to discern its thoughts or emotions, with subtle hints only visible in its eyes. Miraidon also exhibits biological traits such as the ability to consume food, specifically [[Herba Mystica]] [[sandwich]]es, to regain strength and power, allowing it to access its transformations after being weakened. Due to the smell of Herba Mystica smell on them, Miraidon can track down [[Titan Pokémon]].

Miraidon can achieve high speeds and unleash powerful, electrically charged attacks, utilizing the {{a|Hadron Engine|advanced engine}} within its body to amplify its abilities, especially when surrounded by {{m|Electric Terrain}}. In battle, Miraidon can also {{m|Electro Drift|race at ultrafast speeds}} to pierce its targets with futuristic electricity. It shares similarities with {{p|Cyclizar}}, a contemporary Pokémon, though Miraidon is notably more powerful and aggressive.

The origins of Miraidon in the present day trace back to a [[time machine]] constructed by [[Professor Turo]], which brought two specimens to [[Area Zero]] a decade ago. These two individuals displayed contrasting temperaments: {{ga|Miraidon|one}} was friendly and curious, while the [[Area Zero#Area Zero Depths|other]] was aggressive and territorial. 200 years ago, [[Heath]] also encountered a Miraidon as seen in the [[Violet Book]], though it is unclear how it arrived in Area Zero at the time. According to [[AI Turo]], it is a futuristic relative of Cyclizar, though a version of Turo that appeared at the [[Crystal Pool]] suggests it may come from an alternate timeline. It was formerly referred to as the "Iron Serpent" in the Violet Book, with its current name, Miraidon, attributed to Professor Turo, potentially due to a {{wp|bootstrap paradox}}.
[[File:Miraidon attacks anime.png|thumb|250px|Ultimate Mode Miraidon shooting electricity from its hind legs, functioning as cannons]]
Miraidon has five different {{form|Form-like transformations|transformations}} it can change between as it traverses varying terrain and adapts to different situations. In "Ultimate Mode", Miraidon's body becomes charged with purplish-yellow energy. Its gular sac inflates and glows with a bluish-white light, while its antennae flare with electricity, taking on the appearance of lightning bolts. The middle and tip of its tail also emit this energy. Miraidon's back legs fold into its thighs, forming jet engine-like structures that enable it to hover and fly. Its legs also double as electrical cannons in this form. Its irises display a unique combination of light blue outer rings and yellow inner rings. Areas on its cheeks, arms, handlebars, and thighs are filled with light purple energy. When Miraidon enters sleep, it deactivates, causing its glowing features to turn silver. In battle, Miraidon floats to maintain a strategic position, applying pressure to grounded foes while predicting their movements and striking at their weak points. It uses electricity generated within its body to charge its claws, fangs, and tail, with one strike from its charged tail said to knock out even the most resilient opponents.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/miraidon/ Miraidon — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> Miraidon can unleash lightning from its mouth, neck, or hind legs, powerful enough to scorch the land. According to [[Arven]], this is considered Miraidon's true form. In "Low-Power Mode", Miraidon adopts a quadrupedal stance. It lacks the intense purplish-yellow energy seen in Ultimate Mode, resulting in a monochromatic silver appearance on its gular sac, antennae, and tail similar to when entering sleep in that transformation. Its irises remain light blue, and areas on its cheeks, antennae, handlebars, and thighs retain subtle light purple energy. Miraidon assumes this form when weakened or not engaged in battle. In all travel forms, Miraidon's tail stays tucked in, and its back legs remain folded, exposing its jet engines for propulsion. In "Drive Mode", energy is channeled to its tail and throat, creating wheel-like rings that enable high-speed movement and cliff climbing. In "Aquatic Mode", the rings expand to help Miraidon float and propel itself in water, using either the rotation of the rings or its jet engines. In "Glide Mode", its antennae extend to spread an energy membrane, allowing it to glide or fly through the air.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref><ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/flying/ Unlock the Power to Fly with Koraidon or Miraidon! - Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

Miraidon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Electro Drift}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Hadron Engine}} as an [[Ability]].

Miraidon debuted in ''[[PASV01|Speeding! Paldea's Prince of Speed!!]]'' as [[Violet Lang|Violet]]'s ride. In ''[[PASV02|Discover! The Quaking Earth Titan!!]]'', Violet revealed to [[Arven]] that he had encountered Miraidon as it crashed down on a beach near [[Cabo Poco]] and started following him after eating his [[sandwich]]. [[Professor Turo]] had then contacted him, informing him that Miraidon had previously been in his possession, and told Violet that its current depowered state could be remedied with the help of the [[Herba Mystica]], inspiring Violet to find them in order to unlock Miraidon's full potential. It debuted in its Drive Mode, with its other forms being unlocked and appearing later on.

==Trivia==
* Miraidon and {{p|Koraidon}} are the only [[Paradox Pokémon]]:
** Whose names follow regular Pokémon naming conventions.
*** To not have different names between languages.
** To each have their own unique Abilities.
* Miraidon is the tallest Paradox Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex and the only known future Paradox Pokémon to be taller than both its {{p|Cyclizar|present-day}} and {{p|Koraidon|ancient}} relatives.
** It is also the only future Paradox Pokémon not to have the word "Iron" in its name. However, its previous name according to the Violet Book is "Iron Serpent".
** Miraidon is also the only {{type|Dragon}} Paradox Pokémon to be a Future Pokémon rather than an Ancient Pokémon.
* Miraidon has the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Of all Pokémon, Miraidon and Koraidon have the highest number of forms that are obtainable in some capacity yet unusable in battle, as they each use three forms solely for travel and are obtained in their fourth 'low-power' forms, yet can only battle in their 'high-power' forms.
** Curiously, the forms are fully usable in battle when hacked into the game, albeit with various glitches and oddities.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Scarlet_and_Violet#Dex_Entries Miraidon & Koraidon's Ride forms on The Cutting Room Floor]</ref>
*** In its unused Pokédex entry, the Ride forms of Miraidon are smaller than its Ultimate Mode, at 9'2" / 2.7m tall.
** {{p|Rotom}} has five forms that are unusable in battle ([[Rotom Pokédex|Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone|Phone]], [[Rotom Bike|Bike]], [[Rotomi]], [[Drone Rotom|Drone]]), but Rotomi and Drone Rotom are completely unobtainable.
* The modes of Miraidon in Japanese and Korean use borrowed words from English, showing modernity, while the builds of {{p|Koraidon}} in the same languages use {{wp|Sino-Japanese vocabulary|Sino-Japanese}} and {{wp|Sino-Korean vocabulary|Sino-Korean}} words respectively, showing tradition and the past.
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Miraidon was able to learn {{m|Power Gem}} at level 49. After updating the game, it can only learn it via [[TM]].
* Despite being able to swim and fly with the player on its back, Miraidon cannot learn {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Fly}}. It shares this trait with its counterpart {{p|Koraidon}}.
* Miraidon is the subject of the [[Toyota Miraidon Project]], which sought to recreate the Pokémon as a mobile model.

===Origin===
Miraidon's appearance may be based on a robotic serpentine dragon and various lizards, such as the {{wp|anole}} or the genera ''{{wp|Sitana}}'' and ''{{wp|Sarada (lizard)|Sarada}}''—the latter two are collectively known as fan-throated lizards. Its robotic look might also be a reference to how futuristic cultures are often depicted with the overuse of machines and robots, as opposed to Koraidon's traditional look. Some elements of its design may be based on parts of various {{wp|motor vehicle|motorized vehicle}}s (such as a {{wp|sport bike}} and other super bikes designed with maneuverability in mind for city streets and highways), with its {{wp|Casque (anatomy)|casque}} resembling a motorcycle windshield, its shoulders being similar to handlebars, its rear looking like the backrest of a vehicle seat, its throat and tail resembling wheels when active, and its legs resembling {{wp|jet engine|jet engines}} or {{wp|exhaust pipes}}. Miraidon's ability to rearrange itself when changing between forms may be inspired by {{wp|transforming robots}}. Miraidon's color scheme, along with the name of the game it debuts in, possibly stemmed from violet being on the opposite side of the visible spectrum of light from red (a prominent color associated with Pokémon Scarlet and Koraidon) as well as violet occasionally being associated with space (which is often considered the "final frontier", tying to Miraidon's hypothetical future motifs). Building on to this, it could be based on the concept of {{wp|Redshift#Blueshift|blueshifting}}, which is the phenomenon of things that move towards the observer (i.e things that are yet to come, in the future) appear blueish in color, which would make Miraidon a blueshifted version of the green Cyclizar.

Given its serpentine body and its {{t|Electric}} [[type]], it may take inspiration from {{wp|Sugaar}} in {{wp|Basque mythology}}. Originally venerated as the god of storms and thunder in pre-Christian Basque beliefs, Sugaar takes the form of a serpent and embodies lightning.

Additionally, due to its color scheme, its status as a [[Paradox Pokémon]], and it being the mascot of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]], it could be based on Ultraviolet, a color that exists beyond the human visible light spectrum. It can't be seen, but it's still there, much like the confusing and contradictory origins of the Paradox Pokémon.

====Name origin====
Miraidon may be a combination of 未来 ''mirai'' (future), ライド ''raido'' (ride), and ''dragon'', ''don'' (Spanish for lord), or ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

Miraidon's name may have been intentionally designed to sound phonetically like ''me ride on'', referencing how the player rides around the Paldea region on it.

Its alternate name, Iron Serpent, is literally ''iron serpent''.

Tetsuno'orochi, its alternate name in Japanese, can be taken literally as 鉄の大蛇 ''tetsu no orochi'' (iron serpent).

In the [[Area Zero journals]], [[Professor Turo]] mentions having named Miraidon. Due to a {{wp|bootstrap paradox}} involving a version of Professor Turo [[time travel]]ing from the past, it is possible that the player in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] may be responsible for indirectly coining Miraidon's name.

'''Talonflame''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ファイアロー''' ''Fiarrow'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Fletchinder}} starting at [[level]] 35. It is the final form of {{p|Fletchling}}.

Along with {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Decidueye}}, Talonflame is one of the four [[First partner Pokémon|partner Pokémon]] available through the Unite Licenses in [[Pokémon UNITE]] as of version 1.12.1.2.

==Biology==
Talonflame is an avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that closely resembles a falcon. Red-orange plumage covers its head, wings, and most of its chest and back before tapering off into a flame pattern. Its underside and hindquarters are gray and the tips of its long, pointed wings are black. Orange spots speckle its underside. Large yellow talons extend from the shaggy feathers on its legs. Talonflame has a pointed crest atop its head and black-and-yellow mask-like markings around its eyes. Its black beak is hooked with a yellow {{wp|Beak#Cere|cere}}. It also has long black tailfeathers marked with three yellow V-shapes. The tail ends in two points and has another feather sticking out of the base on each side, resembling of the {{wp|fletching}} on the end of an arrow.

Talonflame feeds on other bird Pokémon, such as {{p|Wingull}} and {{p|Pikipek}}. It hunts by diving and attacking its prey with kicks before grasping them with its talons, ensuring they have no time to escape from it. When it dives, it can reach speeds of 310 miles per hour (500 kilometers per hour). It is powerful enough to be able to fly while carrying prey weighing more than 220 lbs (100 kg). It showers embers from the gaps in its feathers as it soars through the sky in order to intimidate its foes. Its wings are fireproof and have been used to make firefighter outfits in the past.

Talonflame and its pre-Evolutions are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Gale Wings}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Talonflame evolves from {{p|Fletchinder}} and is the final form of {{p|Fletchling}}.

==Trivia==
{{bulbanews|Pokémon Developer Round-table News}}
* Talonflame is the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to be confirmed to have more than five katakana characters in its Japanese name.
* Talonflame is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 499.
** In [[Generation V]], {{p|Seismitoad}} also had a base stat total of 499.
* Prior to the introduction of {{p|Fletchinder}} on the release date of {{g|X and Y}}, it was stated on the official [[Pokémon.com|Pokémon website]] that Talonflame evolves from {{p|Fletchling}}.
*Talonflame has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Talonflame seems to be based on the {{wp|peregrine falcon}}, with some traits that may have been inspired by other {{wp|birds of prey}} like the {{wp|red kite}} and {{wp|goshawk}}, with remnants of the {{wp|Japanese robin}}s and {{wp|waxwing}}s that its pre-evolved forms may have been based on. Its [[Fire]] typing might also be based on records of certain birds of prey (colloquially addressed as "fire hawks") like {{wp|whistling kite}}s purposefully starting fires to take advantage of the fleeing prey. Talonflame may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|firebird (Slavic folklore)|firebird}}, a fiery-colored, falcon-like bird from {{wp|Slavic paganism|Slavic mythology}}. Its tail and Japanese name suggest it is also based on an arrow.

====Name origin====
Talonflame may be a combination of ''talon'' and ''inflame''.

Fiarrow may be a combination of ファイア ''fire'', アロー ''arrow'', and possibly ''sparrow'' (as in {{wp|sparrowhawk}}).
