'''Charmander''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトカゲ''' ''Hitokage'') is a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Charizard}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, Charmander is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Kanto]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

==Biology==
Charmander is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon with a primarily orange body. Its underside from the chest down and soles are cream-colored. It has two small fangs visible in its upper jaw and two smaller fangs in its lower jaw. Charmander has blue eyes. Its arms and legs are short with four fingers and three clawed toes. A fire burns at the tip of this Pokémon's slender tail, and has blazed there since Charmander's birth. The flame can be used as an indication of Charmander's health and mood, burning brightly when the Pokémon is strong, weakly when it is exhausted, wavering when it is happy, and blazing when it is enraged. It is said that Charmander dies if its flame goes out. However, if the Pokémon is healthy, the flame will continue to burn if gets a bit wet and is said to steam in the rain.

Charmander can be found in hot, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas}}. However, it is found far more often in the ownership of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. As shown in [[Pokémon Snap]], Charmander exhibits pack behavior, calling others of its species if it finds food.

==In the anime==
===In the [[Pokémon anime|main series]]===
====Major appearances====
[[File:Ash Charmander.png|thumb|220px|Charmander in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
=====[[Ash's Charmander]]=====
In ''[[EP011|Charmander - The Stray Pokémon]]'', {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} came across a Charmander which had been abandoned by its Trainer, [[Damian]], who only cared about strong Pokémon. At first, Charmander refused to leave the spot it was at, waiting for Damian to return. However, when a rainstorm picked up, Charmander grew ill and Ash took it to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Charmander realized that Damian was no good, and joined up with Ash. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}}, and then {{AP|Charizard}}.

=====[[Zippo]]=====
[[Ritchie]] owned a Charmander named [[Zippo]], which debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. It later evolved into Charmeleon.

=====[[Team Go-Getters]]=====
A Charmander stars in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' as the leader of Team Go-Getters.

=====[[Alain's Charmander]]=====
A Charmander appeared in a flashback in ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]'' as the unevolved form of [[Alain]]'s {{p|Charizard}}.

=====[[Trevor's Charmander]]=====
A Charmander appeared in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', under the ownership of {{an|Trevor}}. It has since evolved all the way into Charizard.

=====Other=====
In ''[[SS014|Journey to the Starting Line!]]'', {{OBP|Gilbert|SS014}} was intended to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but the trio of Kanto Starter Pokémon were scared off when [[Ash's Tauros]] stampeded through {{an|Professor Oak}}'s house. Professor Oak, {{Tracey}}, {{Delia}} and Gilbert split up in order to find the three missing Pokémon. The Charmander was the first one to be found.

Another Charmander was seen with Professor Oak in ''[[AG071|A Six Pack Attack!]]'' along with a {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}. Another was seen in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and The Right Mime]]'', along with another {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}}.

A Charmander appeared in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'' owned by the [[Kanto Fair Host]]. Seeing it inspired Ash to bring his Charizard back onto his team.

A Charmander appeared in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', under the ownership of {{an|Trevor}}.

====Minor appearances====
Charmander was mentioned in the first episode of the anime, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', as one of the three starter Pokémon new Trainers in Pallet Town can choose from. Ash dreamed of owning one, although it was his last choice of a starter coming after {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Bulbasaur}}. However, when he arrived at Oak's lab, he found out it was too late, as another Trainer who started the same day had already taken it.

Multiple Charmander also appeared in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''.

====[[Red's Charmander]]====

It later evolved into a {{p|Charmeleon}} between ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'' and ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'' and then a {{p|Charizard}} between ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'' and ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''.

====Other====

[[Giovanni]] was shown to have once had a Charmander during a flashback in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:X Salamè Charmander.png|thumb|220px|right|Charmander in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga===
{{main|Ash's Charmander}}
{{Ash}}'s Charmander makes a few appearances in the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

The capture of Ash's Charmander diverges considerably from the anime. In the manga, [[Damian]] seems to have abandoned his Charmander at the beginning of the chapter ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]'', but it turns out that he had just been injured and went to the hospital.

Ash is shown to own a Charmander despite this, his own Charmander first appears in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Ash's Charmander's capture is not shown in the manga, instead, when Charmander first appears from its [[Poké Ball]], it is simply stated that "Ash has been busy since the last comic".

Ash's Charmander reappears as a {{p|Charizard}} in the chapter ''[[ET13|The Indigo Finals]]'' at the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. In this chapter, Charizard battles [[Zippo|Charley]], [[Ritchie]]'s own Charizard.

===In the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga===
{{main|Peanut's Charmander}}
{{main|Mandy (MPJ)}}
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the sickly Trainer [[Peanut]] owns an aggressive Charmander. Peanut's Charmander first appears in the chapter ''[[PPP11|Charmander's Peanut]]''.

Mandy is a female Charmander from the Magical Pokémon Journey manga.

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
{{main|Blue's Charmander}}
{{main|Salamè}}
Charmander debuted in the first round of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', where one appeared in a fantasy explanation of Red and as one of {{adv|Blue}}'s first Pokémon, received from his grandfather {{adv|Professor Oak}}. He has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} before facing [[Brock]] of [[Pewter City]], and then to {{p|Charizard}} before the [[Silph Co.]] battles against [[Team Rocket]]. The major powerhouse of his team with his newly learned {{m|Blast Burn}} attack, his battle skills (able to defeat {{adv|Red}}'s [[Poli]]whirl easily even before evolving) are complimented by his fast flight, for which he was traded to Red twice, during both the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} and the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}. It is worth noting that, as Charmeleon, he was accidentally traded to Red many years earlier.

Another Charmander appeared as a silhouette when {{adv|Green}} explains about {{p|Mew}} in ''[[PS017|The Jynx Jinx]]''.

After X's Marisso lost to him in a battle X decided to take him and named him Salamè in ''[[PAXY09|Chespin Sows the Seeds of Change]]''. He later evolved into a Charmeleon alongside Marisso who evolved into a {{p|Quilladin}} in [[PAXY22]].

===In the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga===
{{main|Green's Charmander}}
In the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga series, {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}'s rival, {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}}, chose Charmander as his [[starter Pokémon]]. Green's Charmander is mischievous and has a rivalry with [[Red's Clefairy]].

Green's Charmander has evolved into {{p|Charizard}}. It seems to be able to skip the {{p|Charmeleon}} stage, as it was seen evolving directly into Charizard. Although it has devolved back to the Charmander stage, it currently seems to have permanently evolved back into Charizard.

===In the [[Pokémon Zensho]] manga===
{{main|Satoshi's Charmander (Zensho)}}
In [[Pokémon Zensho]], {{Zensho|Satoshi}} chooses Charmander as his starter Pokémon, while {{Zensho|Shigeru}} chooses a {{p|Squirtle}}.

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

==Other appearances==
Charmander appears in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] as a trophy.

===Trophy information===
''"A Lizard Pokémon. It just downright likes hot stuff. The always-burning tail indicates its mood--waving gently when content and burning intensely when angry. If the tail were to go out, it would be the end of Charmander's life. Its tail is believed to emit steam when it rains. Charmander evolves into Charmeleon by leveling up."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] Charmander is one of Pikachu's best friends. After falling through the mysterious tunnel, he almost lands into a pool of molten lava only to be saved by the zone leader, {{p|Blaziken}}. He was then taken in as Blaziken's pupil and trained to become stronger. After he's been found, he journeys to the [[Meeting Place]] where he helps {{p|Piplup}} mend the balloon, and makes fireworks. He later accompanies Pikachu to the [[Sky Pavilion]] along with {{p|Piplup}} and {{p|Chikorita}} where he meets {{p|Mew}}. Once the [[Sky Prism]] has been restored, Charmander celebrates by firing off the fireworks he made.

==Trivia==
[[File:Niue Dollar Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|$1 coins from {{wp|Niue}}]]
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Charmander as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Charmander on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.
* In the first generation, on its sprite and [[a:File:004Charmander RG.png|first artwork]], Charmander's "back" is depicted as having a small line of spikes. The spikes were not shown in the sprites and artwork of later [[generation]]s. [[Blue's Charmander]] also had these spikes in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, where the spikes were larger and easier to see. The spikes were also seen on {{PPM|Green}}'s {{TP|Green|Charmander|Charizard}} from the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga.
* Charmander is the tallest Fire-type starter Pokémon.
* Charmander has the longest name of all unevolved [[starter Pokémon]].
* Charmander is the only Fire-type starter Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Field}}.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Charmander}}
Charmander appears to be predominantly {{wp|reptilian}} in origin, and may have been partially inspired by the mythical {{wp|Salamanders in folklore and legend|salamander}} (as opposed to the real-world amphibian of the same name which inspired its mythical counterpart). This salamander was a fire-spirit capable of surviving in extreme heat or flames, and it is sometimes creatively rendered or interpreted in the shape of a lizard.

Physically, Charmander has a slender body, a short nose, and a long tail, as well as other lizard-like characteristics. The fact that it does not undergo a metamorphosis stage (beyond its own evolutionary pattern) but instead grows into a larger version of itself as it matures, among other things, indicate that Charmander has more in common with reptiles (such as lizards) than with amphibians (such as real-world salamanders).

Charmander's Hidden Ability, {{a|Solar Power}}, may have drawn inspiration from the {{wp|spotted salamander}}. In July and August 2010, this species was identified as the first known {{wp|Photosynthesis|photosynthetic}} vertebrate animal, capable of converting energy from sunlight.

====Name origin====
Charmander is a portmanteau of the words ''char'' (to burn) and ''salamander''.

Hitokage comes from 火蜥蜴 (salamander): 火 ''hi'' (fire) and 蜥蜴 ''tokage'' (lizard).

'''Iris''' (Japanese: '''アイリス''' ''Iris'') is a {{pkmn|Master}} {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}. She was once one of the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Opelucid City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Opelucid Gym]], giving out the {{badge|Legend}}, in {{game|Black and White|s}}. Two years later, in {{game|Black and White|s|4=2}}, she becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

==In the games==
Iris appears in {{game|Black and White|s}}. In both versions, she shows up in [[Castelia City]] to aid the player, [[Burgh]], and [[Bianca]] when Bianca's Munna is stolen; during this time, she acts as Bianca's "bodyguard".

In {{game3|Black and White|White|s}}, she is the [[Gym Leader]] of Opelucid City's Gym. This Gym is the eighth to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Iris will receive the Legend Badge, along with {{TM|82|Dragon Tail}}. She also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where she and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]]. In the summer, she visits [[Cynthia]] at [[Undella Town]], as do the other female Gym Leaders and Elite Four members.

In {{game3|Black and White|Black|s}}, she will teach {{m|Draco Meteor}} to the player's {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon if they have full [[friendship]]. She can be found on the first floor of [[Drayden]]'s home in Opelucid City.

In [[Black 2 and White 2]], Iris first appears in Castelia City, helping the player look for Team Plasma. She later makes another appearance in Opelucid City, but leaves shortly after meeting the player. Iris's primary role in these games is finally revealed to be that of the new [[Champion]], replacing [[Alder]]. After training extensively under Drayden, she battled against Alder upon his decision to retire as Champion and won, gaining the title for herself. As a gift for her victory, Drayden gave her new clothes to replace the ones he had given her after bringing her to Unova.

===Quotes===
===={{game|Black and White|s}}====
'''[[Castelia City]]'''
* At Prime Pier
:''"I heard this lady's scream and ran after the thief as fast as I could. But this city is so big and so crowded... I'm afraid I lost them."''
:''"But that's so bad! Taking people's Pokémon is really bad! 'Cause it's really nice when people and Pokémon are together! They each have something the other doesn't, and they help each other!"''
:''"I'm gonna be [[Bianca]]'s bodyguard. So you go after those bad guys, OK?"''

* On Gym Street
:''"Phew, we got lost. Even with the directions from the [[Xtransceiver]], I couldn't figure it out!"''
:''"OK! This time, I'll join the fight! Come on, Bianca. You too!"''

* In [[Team Plasma]]'s hideout
:''"I am! It's the {{p|Zekrom|black}}{{sup/5|B}}/{{p|Reshiram|white}}{{sup/5|W}} {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, right?
:''"Bianca! Why are you thanking them? They take people's precious Pokémon!"''
:''"What are you doing? Why are you letting them get away?!"''
:''"OK, if you're happy..."''
:''"Don't worry! I'll keep being your bodyguard!"''
:''"Also, thanks for looking for the Pokémon! Here, this is for you! See you!"''

'''[[Opelucid City]]'''
* After [[Ghetsis]]'s speech
:''"What was that about? That speech was off-the-charts strange!"''
:''"Oh! Mr. [[Alder]]! ...And the {{tt|guy/girl|variation depends on the gender of the player character}} who helped out that time."''
:''"Are you talking about {{p|Reshiram}}? Or {{p|Zekrom}}? What's the sudden interest?"''
:''"Oh, no! The {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon get along so well!"''
:''"Aww... He's gone. Is he OK? He looked kinda scary."''
:''"You bet! If it's Opelucid City, I can take you anywhere. As for the story of Reshiram and Zekrom, we'll tell you all we know about it! This way!"''
:''"That way!"''

* Near [[Drayden]]'s house
:''"Just a little farther!"''

* In front of Drayden's house
:''"This is it!"''

* In Drayden's house
:''"That single Dragon Pokémon, along with twin heroes, brought a new region into being. And people and Pokémon had happy lives!"''
:''"In its pursuit of truth, the white Dragon-type Pokémon sought to usher in a new and better world... Its name was Reshiram. And the other, the black Dragon-type Pokémon, sought ideals and to usher in a new world--a world of hope. Its name was Zekrom."''
:''"But, but... The two heroes' sons started the battle again! And an instant later, Reshiram and Zekrom destroyed Unova with fire and lightning! Then, they disappeared! But, but... If people work with Pokémon in the right way, we don't have to worry anymore about the world being destroyed. I mean, Reshiram and Zekrom worked hard for everyone and made a new region! So, it should be all right, I think."''
:''"Yeah! So I'm never gonna forgive Team Plasma for trying to separate Pokémon and us!"''

:* In Black
::''"Everyone, people and Pokémon can get along and be happy. That's awesome!"''

:* In White
::''"Yay! Look out! I'm really, really strong, just like Drayden!"''

* In Drayden's house after player receives the Legend Badge (Black only)
:''"Guess what!! I can teach you the {{m|Draco Meteor|strongest Dragon-type move}}! Fun, huh? Want me to teach your Pokémon this move?"''
:* Yes; if player has Pokémon in the party {{tt|that can learn the move|a Dragon-type Pokémon must have high friendship to be able to be taught Draco Meteor}}
::''"OK, great! Which Pokémon should learn this move?"''
::* If a Pokémon that knows Draco Meteor is selected:
:::''"This one? Um, but... it looks like this Pokémon already knows Draco Meteor."''
::* After one of the player's Pokémon learns Draco Meteor
:::''"Draco Meteor's power is really amazing! But after you use it, your [[Stats#Special Attack|Sp. Atk stat]] goes down."
:* Yes; if no Dragon-type Pokémon in the player's party can learn the move
:::''"Let me see... Well, this Pokémon can learn the move, but you need to have a really strong bond of friendship first. I don't think I can teach it yet."''
:* Yes; if player has no Dragon-type Pokémon in the party
:::''"OK, great! Oh, but... You don't seem to have a Pokémon that can learn this move."''
:* No
::''"OK! Well, if you change your mind, come again, OK?"''

'''[[Opelucid Gym]] (White only)'''

:''"{{m|Dragon Tail}} doesn't just do damage. It sends the other Pokémon back to its [[Poké Ball]], too! Ooh, hey! I wonder how Mister [[Alder]] is doing? I wonder if he's battling that Trainer called [[N]] in the [[Pokémon League]] right now? Do you know about the Pokémon League? It's past [[Victory Road (Black and White)|Victory Road]], at the end of {{rt|10|Unova}}!"''

* Post game:
:''"You've been on a journey and seen a lot of the world. I'm like that, too! I'm from way out in the country. I'm really happy that I've gotten to meet lots of different people and Pokémon!!"''

'''[[N's Castle]]'''
:''"No need to worry!"''
:''"I won't lose! No way! No way! No way!"''

'''[[Cynthia]]'s villa'''
:''"Oh, hey! Did you see [[Cynthia's Garchomp]]? It's too cute!"''
:''"Soon, Drayden and I are going to ride the cruise ship! [[Castelia City]] is wall-to-wall people, but if I'm with him, I'll be OK!"''

Oh! The Gym is that way! Before challenging it, you might want to go to {{rt|9|Unova}}! Still, your Pokémon really respect you! I feel how much fun your Pokémon are having, even from inside their [[Poké Ball]]s! Good luck!"''

'''[[Pokémon League (Unova)|Pokémon League]]'''
* Before battle (initial)
: ''"Welcome, challenger!"''
: ''"I've been waiting for this!"''
: ''"Know what? I really look forward to having serious battles with strong Trainers! I mean, come on! The Trainers who make it here are Trainers who desire victory with every fiber of their being! And they are battling alongside Pokémon that have been through countless difficult battles! If I battle with people like that, not only will I get stronger, my Pokémon will, too! And we'll get to know each other even better! OK! Brace yourself! I'm Iris, the Pokémon League Champion, and I'm going to defeat you!"''

That you are considerate towards Pokémon, and you give them your whole heart! And that your wonderful Pokémon believe in their Trainer with all their hearts, and together you have a strength that knows no bounds!"''
: ''"Hey, c'mon! Oh, excuse me... <player>! To the Trainer standing before me! And to the Pokémon at your side! Your beautiful bond has grown strong through battle! In order to make this bond an eternal treasure, your names shall be recorded here!"''

'''[[Memory Link]] - A New Light'''
:''"Yay! I did it! {{p|Haxorus}}, thank you! I won because of you!"''
:''"What did you want to talk to me about, Grandpa?"''
:''"Yep! I was the strongest!"''
:''"I'm so glad I came to Unova! There are many different people and so many different Pokémon! And you know what... In the [[Village of Dragons]], people take living alongside Pokémon for granted. I was surprised some people in Unova didn't think that way!"''
:''"[[Alder]] was smiling, though."''
:''"Alder was really, really strong! And even when I felt a bit weak, he encouraged us! He said that even when their backs are against the wall, my Pokémon have an intense look in their eyes. So, that's why I won, but I feel like I still have a lot to learn."''
:''"Are these new clothes? OK, I'll change into them right now!"''
:''"Wooow! It's such a flowing dress!"''
:''"But you were fine, right? I can tell! Your Haxorus loves you very much!"''
:''"I've already decided! I know what kind of Champion I will be! There's a myth in [[Sinnoh]] that says that the reason why Pokémon jump out is because they want to thank people. I'm sure that we and Pokémon have helped each other and enriched the world since ancient times. These memories have been engraved in each Pokémon's heart! So, I want Pokémon and people to get closer and closer! As the Champion, I want to tell that to everybody!"''

===National Gymquirer===
:Jingle: ''"Woo hoo! All right! It's 'The National Gymquirer'!"''
:Page: ''"That's right! We collect the hottest gossip about Gym Leaders seen around town! Here is today's letter. From someone going by the name Madame Scale. Thank yooou! 'I'm from Opelucid City, and I just went home for the first time in a long time. I saw Drayden and Iris counting up a big handful of coins! Isn't that setting a bad example for kids, flaunting your wealth like that?' Hmmm... That's living the high life! But you know, the Opelucid Gym Badge is shiny like a coin... Maybe you saw wrong? 'The National Gymquirer'! We eagerly await your letters!"''

==In the anime==
[[File:Iris Swinging.png|thumb|250px|right|Iris in the anime]]
{{main|Iris (anime)}}
Iris appears in the anime as one of the current {{ashfr|traveling partners}} of [[Ash Ketchum]], along with {{an|Cilan}}. Iris has been assigned to venture on a journey of growth and maturity and left her home in the [[Village of Dragons]]. She is to raise an {{TP|Iris|Axew}} as well as achieve emotional growth herself.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Iris Adventures.png|thumb|right|200px|Iris in Pokémon Adventures]]
Iris is first seen when she goes to the Studio Castelia to inform [[Burgh]] of his upcoming Gym battle with {{adv|Black}}. After Burgh shows her his newest art piece, Iris insults it by saying his previous paintings were better and causes him to into a brief slump before complimenting the smell of honey on his body.

Later, after the battle between Black and Burgh is finished, Iris returns to inform everyone that she found a {{adv|Bianca|girl}} named Bianca unconscious on the street. They deduce that she must have been the victim of one of the recent Pokémon kidnappings and search for the culprits. They eventually find the thieves, [[Team Plasma]], and retrieve Bianca's stolen {{p|Litwick}} from them.

Much later, Iris encounters Black again and informs him that she is on a journey to gather information on something. Later, she encounters [[Cedric Juniper]] and talks about the [[Swords of Justice]]'s dislike of humans with him.

==Trivia==
* Her Japanese Leader title is {{tt|竜の心を　知る　娘|The girl who knows the hearts of dragons}}.
* In {{2v2|Black|White}}, the only differences between Iris and [[Drayden]]'s teams are the genders of their Pokémon and their {{p|Druddigon}}'s Ability: Iris has an all-female team and her Druddigon has {{a|Sheer Force}}, while Drayden has an all-male team and his Druddigon has {{a|Rough Skin}}.
* Iris and [[Clair]] are both female Gym Leaders that train Dragon-type Pokémon. Coincidentally, they are both the eighth Gym Leader the player challenges in Unova and Johto, respectively.
* Iris is the first {{pkmn|Champion}} to keep her Japanese name.
* In {{2v2|Black|White}}, Iris is the only Unova Gym Leader who does not have a secondary occupation.
* If Pokémon White is considered canon, Iris and [[Wallace]] have many similarities: both were trained by Gym Leaders, were the eighth [[Gym Leader]] in their respective regions, and later became the Champion, at which point their mentors took their places in their Gyms.
** However, this is not the case if Pokémon Black is considered canon, because unlike [[Juan]], [[Drayden]] was always the Leader of [[Opelucid Gym]] in Black, and Iris never was.
**Also, if Pokemon White is considered canon then Iris's transition from being the eighth Gym Leader to becoming the Champion is the opposite of [[Blue (game)|Blue]]'s transition from being the Champion in Generation I and its remakes to becoming the eighth Gym Leader in Generation II and its remakes.
* In Black and White 2, during Drayden's flashback, it is implied that Iris is not a native of Unova.
* Iris considers Drayden to be her grandfather despite the two of them not being biologically related, affectionately referring to him as "Grandpa."

[[File:Sinnoh DP.png|thumb|right|250px|In-game map of the Sinnoh region from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}]]
The '''Sinnoh''' region (Japanese: '''シンオウ地方''' ''Shin'ō-chihō'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is located north of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]]. It is the setting of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It is comprised of the large mainland, the north-eastern island of the [[Battle Zone]], and several {{si|Pokémon League|smaller islands}} on both sides of the [[region]].

Most of Sinnoh's routes are on land, having very few sea routes, in vast contrast to [[Hoenn]]. The region is divided by [[Mt. Coronet]], roughly comparable to how the continent that Kanto and Johto make up is essentially a contiguous region.

==Etymology and design concept==
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Sinnoh|Pokémon world in relation to the real world}}
[[File:Pokemonworld.png|thumb|left|150px|The map of Japan showing the Sinnoh region as the island of {{wp|Hokkaido}}.]]
[[Junichi Masuda]] has stated that Sinnoh's name is based on the Sino-Japanese term 神奥, which translates to "mysterious"<ref>http://twitter.com/#!/Junichi_Masuda/statuses/141163315660464128</ref>. The geography of the Sinnoh is [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based on]] the geography of the Japanese island of {{wp|Hokkaido}} and southern part of the Russian island of {{wp|Kunashir}}, which is claimed by the Japanese government. Part of {{wp|Sakhalin}} (Japanese: 樺太 ''Karafuto'') and {{wp|Kunashir Island}} (Japanese: 国後島 ''Kunashiri Island''), territories which are in dispute between {{wp|Russia}} and Japan, are also included. Sinnoh has been said to be an island like Hoenn, rather than a peninsula.

Most of all cities and towns in Sinnoh are positioned in the same way as the real cities and towns of the Japan while most of its design is based on it as well. [[Jubilife City]] is Sinnoh's biggest city, which is based on {{wp|Sapporo, Hokkaido|Sapporo City}}, Hokkaido's biggest city, while [[Veilstone City]] is based upon {{wp|Abashiri, Hokkaido|Abashiri City}}, a major port city.

Geographical features are similar as well, with the large mountain ranges of [[Mt. Coronet]] based from the {{wp|Ezo}} mountain chain, which is made up of the {{wp|Teshio Mountains}} ({{jwp|天塩山地}}), the {{wp|Kitami Mountains}} ({{jwp|北見山地}}), the {{wp|Ishikari Mountains}} ({{jwp|石狩山地}}), the {{wp|Yubari Mountains}} ({{jwp|夕張山地}}), and the {{wp|Hidaka Mountains}} ({{jwp|日高山脈}}). The three lakes of Sinnoh mimic {{wp|Lake Toya|Lake Tōya}}, {{wp|Lake Kussharo}} and Lake Kutcharo. The [[Sendoff Spring|fourth lake of Sinnoh]] is similar to {{wp|Lake Mashu|Lake Mashū}}, which is also known as a mysterious spot that has a dense layer of fog hiding the surface most of the time.

The numbering of the routes in the Pokémon world may also be a reference to Japan's own national route system, which goes from {{wp|Japan National Route 1|1}} to {{wp|Japan National Route 58|58}}, then skips directly to {{wp|Japan National Route 101|101}}, and then skips several more numbers. Routes in Sinnoh do not run concurrent to routes in Hokkaido; instead starting over after the set of routes in Hoenn.

==History==
[[File:Dragon hatch HGSS.png|thumb|right|The egg that released {{p|Arceus}} and all of life]]
According to several [[Sinnoh myths]], this region was the first of all the regions in the Pokémon world to have been created. In a void of nothingness, a single {{pkmn|Egg}} came into being, which then hatched into {{p|Arceus}}, the first Pokémon to be in existence. Arceus created {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and possibly {{p|Giratina}}, and Arceus then gave Dialga and Palkia the abilities to control time and space, respectively. Giratina was banished to [[Distortion World|another dimension]] for its violent behavior. Then, during the very early formation of the world, Arceus created {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Uxie}}, and {{p|Mesprit}} to create willpower, knowledge, and emotion respectively, things that are in all modern humans and Pokémon. They dove to the bottom of present-day [[Lake Valor]], [[Lake Acuity]], and [[Lake Verity]], an act which earned them the name "the lake trio". At that point, Arceus created the Sinnoh region and [[Mt. Coronet]] divided the region into two sections. During this violent procedure, [[Stark Mountain]] was created and {{p|Heatran}} was formed in lava. Arceus finally created the Adamant, Lustrous and Griseous Orbs before falling into a never-ending sleep at the [[Hall of Origin]].

Around this time, {{p|Mew}} was thought to have came into being by itself, containing the DNA of every Pokémon to exist and exist in the future. Human habitation of Sinnoh is estimated to have begun when Sinnoh was created, as said in [[Sinnoh myths|myth]]. It is stated that Pokémon and humans led separate lives, but always helped each other. They supplied each other with goods, and supported each other. A Pokémon proposed to the others to always be ready to help humans, and that Pokémon be ready to appear before humans always. Thus, to this day, Pokémon appear to humans if they venture into [[tall grass]].
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Palkia, Giratina and Dialga on the Spear Pillar.]]
Later on came the events of [[Floaroma Town]]. According to the townspeople, Floaroma Town was once a barren and desolate hill. People started planting flowers around it to cheer up the place, but nothing would grow. Then, someone expressed thanks for a blessing of nature, and the whole hill burst into bloom. It is theorized that {{p|Shaymin}} was the cause of the sudden burst of flowers, given it being the Gratitude Pokémon, and its ability to "instantly transform ruined land into a lush field of flowers," according to its [[Pokédex]] entry.

{{spoilers}}

In contemporary history, {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Barry}} leave [[Twinleaf Town]] in an attempt to see a Pokémon, like the recently reported [[red Gyarados]], in the nearby [[Lake Verity]]. After receiving one of [[Professor Rowan]]'s Pokémon to call their own, their journey begins in earnest, and both Lucas/Dawn and Barry challenge the Sinnoh region's eight Gyms to gain the Badges necessary to challenge the {{si|Pokémon League}}. Along the way, however, Lucas/Dawn is brought into many conflicts with [[Team Galactic]], whose leader, [[Cyrus]], wishes to remake the entire universe in his image with the powers of the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Defeating the team and calming {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}} (or {{p|Giratina}} in Platinum canon), Lucas/Dawn challenges Sinnoh's Elite Four and Champion, [[Cynthia]], and becomes Champion him/herself. In {{game|Platinum}}, Cyrus accidentally opened a portal to the [[Distortion World]] above [[Mt. Coronet]] while trying to create a new world for himself. The portal atop Mt. Coronet was able to be closed, but a passageway to this strange dimension still remains on the [[Turnback Cave|depths]] of [[Sendoff Spring]].

==Cities, routes, and other locations==
[[File:Sinnoh Region.png|thumb|right|300px|A detailed version of the in-game map of the Sinnoh region from [[Generation IV]] games.]]
Sinnoh has fourteen [[List of cities and towns by name|cities and towns]], as well as three "areas", and a {{si|Pokémon League}}. These sites act as settlements for people to live and work in a functioning society. The [[Fight Area]], the [[Survival Area]] and the [[Resort Area]] all act as towns, however, they appear to be more of a tourist destination and are not considered cities or towns. These three "areas" are located off Sinnoh's mainland and on the [[Battle Zone]], which is considered a sub-region of Sinnoh and is implied by some living on the island as a different region altogether, not unlike how the [[Sevii Islands]] are considered a separate region from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. Thus, Sinnoh has a total of eighteen settlements all over Sinnoh, the largest amount of sites in the [[Pokémon world]] so far.

The Sinnoh region has 30 different [[routes]], which are passages permitting Trainers to travel from one location to the next with relative ease. Much like [[Hoenn]] before it, Sinnoh's routes are numbered so that they don't follow sequence directly from previously-known regions' routes. Routes in Sinnoh are numbered from {{rtn|201|Sinnoh}} to {{rtn|230|Sinnoh}}. Compared to previous generations, there aren't many sea routes; there are many land routes and mountains. The idea of routes with differing [[weather conditions]] was also brought ahead from [[Generation III]]. For the first time ever in a Pokémon game, some of Sinnoh's routes have snow covering them. Another quirk about the routes in Sinnoh is that some of them do not go directly east/west or north/south, but actually turn before reaching their destination, most notably {{rt|212|Sinnoh}} and {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, which both have two limbs of equal length. While Hoenn's {{rt|114|Hoenn}} did this on the [[Game Boy Advance]], it was not to this scale, so one may presume that the GBA was limited in this sense.

Although it has few [[sea route]]s, Sinnoh is known to be rich in water, and has three lakes at the northernmost ([[Lake Acuity|Acuity]]), easternmost ([[Lake Valor|Valor]]), and westernmost ([[Lake Verity|Verity]]) ends of the main continent. These are home to the members of [[lake guardians|one of Sinnoh's legendary trios]]. Near Lake Valor, as well, there is a hidden fourth lake, [[Sendoff Spring]], which houses [[Turnback Cave]]. Some other significant locations that Sinnoh offers include [[Mt. Coronet]], the highest mountain in the Sinnoh region and part of a long mountain range that divides the region in half; the [[Eterna Forest]], a large and mysterious forest; and the [[Great Marsh]], a popular habitat for Pokémon and a safari zone for many Trainers.

===Demographics===
The Sinnoh region's towns, cities and areas, has a total population of 704 in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} and 755 in {{game|Platinum}}.

===Landmarks===
[[File:Mt. Coronet.png|left|thumb|200px|[[Mt. Coronet|Mt. Coronet range]], which divides the region into two parts]]
Sinnoh is home to many unique landmarks and areas of interest. These come in a range of tourist attractions such as the luxurious [[Hotel Grand Lake]] and the exciting [[Pal Park]], to many natural phenomena such as the four deep, blue lakes and the vast, dense [[Eterna Forest]]. But, the central landmark of the Sinnoh region is Mt. Coronet. Standing in the middle of Sinnoh and extending from the northern wilderness to the southern tip of the region, Mt. Coronet splits Sinnoh into two halves. It is truly best defined as a mountain range, with the highest peak shrouded in legend, perhaps being the highest mountain in the entire Pokémon world. The Spear Pillar is situated at the highest point, an ancient shrine to Pokémon which is in ruins. Several of its pillars are still standing, all pointing skyward. The legend of the [[creation trio]] is deeply connected with the mountain, as is the plot of Team Galactic. A stained glass window in the Foreign Building in Hearthome City depicts the mountain with a bright shine, representing the Spear Pillar and possibly depicting the creation of {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Its place in Sinnoh has caused variation in the species of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, which have different coloration depending on the side of Sinnoh they are native to.

To the very north of the region in the [[Battle Zone]], there is another mountain range, [[Stark Mountain]] which consists of an active volcano. The volcano rains ash down upon some parts of the Battle Zone. Outside the cavern, is a rugged, seemingly indestructible rock mountain that is thickly blanketed by the volcanic ash it spews. While, inside the mountain, fissures in spilled and hardened lava form enormous caverns. Another important landmark of Sinnoh is the [[Eterna Forest]], a forest home to many Bug- and Grass-type Pokémon. The Eterna Forest has a reputation for being a mysterious place, from the abandoned [[Old Chateau]] to the strange [[Moss Rock]]. The Eterna Forest is a long and complex structure of trees that make it a natural maze, of where a lot of people get lost. The Eterna Forest has apparently been the location to numerous sightings of [[Team Galactic]], for many unknown reasons.

Another major landmark is the [[Great Marsh]]. The Great Marsh is a giant wetland that is subject to frequent or continuous flood. It houses many different kinds of Pokémon, some of which are unique to this environment. [[Pastoria City]] was settled to protect the area. It has grown naturally over the years and there is now a lookout that affords views of the Great Marsh. An almost more sacred area is the trinity of lakes mysteriously situated throughout the region to form the corners of a triangle. [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Acuity]] are tied to the myth of the creation of the Pokémon world, specifically the creation of spirit. The lakes are said to be inhabited by the three legendary pixies {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. They are meant to represent knowledge, emotion, and willpower, respectively.
[[File:Sinnoh Underground Map.png|thumb|right|[[The Underground]]; a series of tunnels dug out below Sinnoh|300px]]
The [[The Underground|Underground]] is a famous attraction to the Sinnoh region, because of the fact that it is not located above the surface of the region, but below in a series of tunnels dug out by people. There are six independent sections of the labyrinth, each accessible from different places in Sinnoh. In terms of vendors and mining treasures, the areas are equivalent. One of the main attractions of the Underground is the mining game in which rare items can be found.

The Sinnoh region is the only area where an extreme natural phenomena has occurred; the gateway to another universe has opened due to the actions of {{p|Giratina}}. At first, Giratina uses [[Turnback Cave]], a cave located in the depths of the mysterious and secret fourth lake of Sinnoh, [[Sendoff Spring]] as a portal to the [[Distortion World]]. It is said that Turnback Cave was a weak point between dimensions, and the ability to travel across to the Distortion World would be possible. This mysterious place disobeys the normal laws of physics: time does not flow and spatial relations are irregular, allowing the player to walk and surf on walls in any direction. Trees and rocks can simply grow out of the ground, and then disappear. The only Pokémon known to inhabit the Distortion World is Giratina.

==Geography==
===Environment===
[[File:Sinnoh Anime.png|thumb|right|290px|Oblique view of the Sinnoh region from above.]]
Sinnoh features a broad range of new and classic environments for the player to explore including, for the first time in a Pokémon RPG, snowy routes. Its terrain is varied: some parts of the region are dry and mountainous; others are wet and swampy. The region is rich in water.

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

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

Sinnoh's eastern half is home to a vast many more things, including [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s in [[Hearthome City]], a [[Veilstone Department Store|Department Store]] in [[Veilstone City]], the [[Great Marsh]] of [[Pastoria City]], and the awe-inspiring [[Vista Lighthouse]] of [[Sunyshore City]]. In each of these cities, as well, there is a Pokémon Gym, which is very important for League-bound {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.
[[File:Torn World.png|thumb|left|250px|Mt. Coronet's peak, with the entrance to the [[Distortion World]] above it, from the northwest.]]
Unlike the halves of Sinnoh divided longitudinally by Mt. Coronet, the northern area is sparsely populated, with [[Snowpoint City]] as the only major area. This is likely due to the cold climate and snowy terrain in the area. Despite this relative isolation, however, Snowpoint has a Pokémon Gym, making it another important stop for Trainers who wish to compete in the Pokémon League.

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

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

===Climate===
The climate of Sinnoh varies widely, and most of the region is made of mountainous or hilly areas. Unlike [[Hoenn]], which is located in the south where the climate is warmer, Sinnoh is located on the northern boundaries of the world where the temperature is cooler. It is so cold in the northern part of the region that snow falls constantly. The harsh snow that blows down from the mountain's peaks not only makes the area very cold, but makes the {{rt|217|Sinnoh|routes in the area}} perilous to travel on. Cities such as [[Snowpoint City]] are completely covered in snow, and Pokémon who live nearby have had to adapt to the climate. Recently, the southern side of the region has also become cooler; climate change is taking a toll. Areas such as [[Twinleaf Town]] and {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} now have small amounts of snow on the ground.

However, not all of the northern areas of Sinnoh are covered in snow. Due to the dry environments and mountainous areas such as [[Stark Mountain]], the small island known as the [[Battle Zone]] is subject to warmer climates. A constant sandstorm rages on {{rt|228|Sinnoh}} due to the flow of wind down though the mountains. Some of the southern areas of the Battle Zone are very tropical and contain dense jungles.
[[File:Sinnoh from the sky.png|thumb|right|250px|A part of the Sinnoh region where the city meets the sea]]
The mainland features full land geography, with only five [[water route]]s. Despite this lack of sea routes, in contrast to the [[Hoenn]] region, Sinnoh is known to be rich in water. Rivers that originate from the highlands and mountains in the center of the landmass runs through the region passing many cities, towns, and routes and into the ocean. There are many lakes throughout the region such as [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Verity]]. All these factors create a tropical climate throughout the mainland. Many large cities settle on or close to the seaside; some of them have large ports.

Further inland, there are many different climates. Due to the mountain zones, different inland areas are subject to rain. This rain creates wetlands. Such areas may also be covered partially or completely by shallow pools of water. The soil in the wetland area is permanently saturated with moisture, which creates swamps, marshes, and bogs. In fact, [[Pastoria City]] was founded on marshy soils that attracted wild Pokémon. Unlike other regions, Sinnoh is sometimes troubled by fog. {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} is often covered in a thick cloud that makes obstacles and Trainers difficult to see; fortunately for travelers, this can be easily cleared.

===Energy sources===
The Sinnoh region is famed for its energy production and conservation via natural resources. Different areas of Sinnoh use different sources of energy for the use of power generation, heating, and transport fuels. The [[Oreburgh Mine]] is one of the main features in Oreburgh City, as well as the city's leading energy source. Its energy is exported to many parts of the region, including its neighbor, [[Jubilife City]], whose large population consumes a lot of energy. The mine is the livelihood of the town. Vents in the town allow steam to escape and fresh air to enter the mine, likely also clearing the mine of any poison gas (which is historically the bane of coal miners). The mine is operated with the utmost care to avoid causing damage to the natural habitats of wild Pokémon. The system of taking coal out of the mine is automated.

Another local energy source is the [[Valley Windworks]]. The Valley Windworks is a large wind farm situated in a windy valley close to Mt. Coronet, so as to generate as much electricity as possible. It is located just off {{rt|205|Sinnoh}}, a short walk east from Floaroma Town. In the area, there are eight tall wind turbines which generate energy that is in turn processed by the power plant in the center of the area. Many towns benefit from the natural renewable energy including [[Floaroma Town]], and [[Eterna City]].

The third and final renewable energy source Sinnoh has to offer is [[Sunyshore City]]'s solar panels, which are ingeniously designed for the use of power and transportation. Because the city is on the coast and gets hit by a lot of sunlight, the solar panels were built to collect energy for little cost, no pollution, and convenience to the city's citizens. It was also built due to the lack of space. However, there is a disadvantage: the solar panel system is often broken, and the city will experience massive blackouts at times. Citizens of and visitors to the city are able to walk around the city on top of the solar panels.

==Sinnoh League==
{{main|Sinnoh League}}
[[File:Sinnoh Elite Four.png‎|thumb|right|250px|The current members of Elite Four]]
The regional Pokémon League in the Sinnoh region is known as the Sinnoh League. The Sinnoh League is composed of eight [[Gym Leaders]] and four [[Elite Four]] members, along with the {{pkmn|Champion}}. Pokémon Trainers who earn eight [[Badge]]s by defeating the Gym Leaders of the Sinnoh League qualify to challenge the Elite Four located in the {{si|Pokémon League}} building. Gym Leaders are located in different cities and towns, each with their own specialty type. It is the Gym Leader's job to be the protector of their respective town or city, as they should be the strongest Trainer residing there. Once all Gym Leaders have been defeated, Trainers may face the Elite Four and its Champion. To defeat the Elite Four, all five Trainers must be defeated in succession.

==Trivia==
[[File:Sinnoh DP Map.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Sinnoh artwork from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Diamond and Pearl}}]]
* If one were to draw lines to connect the three lakes of Sinnoh, they form a big triangle with [[Mt. Coronet]] at the center. This is the same formation that {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} make on the top of the [[Spear Pillar]] with {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} in the middle, as well as the same formation put in areas relating to the [[Sinnoh myths]].
* Sinnoh is the only region of the main series games that has more than five letters in its name, having six.
* Sinnoh is also the only area traveled through where all the Gym Leaders that have been featured have appeared in an episode before Ash battled them.
* If a Pokémon hatches in an area exclusive to Platinum, then subsequently traded to Diamond and Pearl, its met location will display as "[[Faraway place]]", despite the fact that these areas (with the exception of the Distortion World and the Battle Frontier) are all within the Sinnoh region.
* Interestingly, Sinnoh has an [[List of locations by index number (Generation IV)|index number location]] programmed into [[Generation IV]] for it, despite the fact that all Sinnoh locations are programmed into the games already. This index location is at #2006, while coincidentally, was the Japanese release of Sinnoh's first games, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. This does not happen for the other three regions programmed in (i.e. Kanto is 2003, not 1996, Johto is 2004, not 1999, and Hoenn is 2005, not 2002). This data is unused during normal gameplay (i.e. without hacking); Pokémon from Sinnoh traded to a game taking place in Johto display their normal "met at" area, much like Pokémon from [[Kanto]] do when traded to Emerald.
* Sinnoh has the most places to {{m|fly}} out of all regions so far, having eighteen.
* Sinnoh has been shown to have more {{Shiny}} Pokémon inhabiting it than any other region featured in the [[List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime#Shiny Pokémon|anime]] with a total of seven; {{p|Dustox}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Ditto}}, [[Legendary beasts (M13)|Raikou, Entei, Suicune]], and {{p|Ariados}}.

== Ciao! ==

I'd like to talk you about the Finnish titles for one more time. The last time I contacted you, I actually lied, because I still had some Finnish Battle Frontier titles left. Now I'm sure that we now have every Finnish title of every Finnish dubbed episodes of Pokémon (I also keep filling the new titles as they come out). But I spotted one weird thing: I no matter how I searched, the titles of [[AG178]]-[[AG183]] and [[AG186]]-[[AG187]] remained undubbed. I'm a bit confused: the article [[Pokémon in Finland]] says that these episodes should have been dubbed, but there is no sign of dubbed titles. I know a Finnish user who has connections to behind the scenes (some kind of), but he/she isn't always active, and he/she is now having a "brake", so I turned to you. I don't know if you know anything about this, but I still try. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 14:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
:Actually, they have been dubbed and released once in MTV3 Juniori; I have also seen them all. However, I don't have the titles.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 14:42, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

:::Now I'm having trouble translating the Finnish title of [[DP147]], which is "Etsivä löytää". Any suggestions? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 08:51, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Second, you uploaded an image with .jpg extension while the image upload form clearly says "''.png for sprites, screenshots, icons, diagrams, and simple images''". Along with that, the image was small 342 x 192 and its quality wasn't good either. That is why it was deleted.

Regarding your revert in [[Johto Route 45]], I would like to point out that the data had once been the way I edited it to be now, but someone had changed it to the false figures. By adding the note, we eliminate the possibility of someone changing them back thinking that there has just been a typo.

In response, {{u|Force Fire}} changed it back to "Unknown", and said on the talk page that its gender wasn't confirmed, that gender differences didn't apply due to Wobbuffet entering the main cast before Generation IV, and that its crush on Kirlia didn't count as those can be either gender.

== Voice actor help ==

I have a little problem that's bothering me. All main characters' articles, except {{Tracey}}, have the character's Finnish voice actors added there, but unfortunately, {{an|Brock}}, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} miss the episodes/movies which in each voice actor has been in, and I think that {{an|May}} and [[Max]] also miss their voice actors from movies 5-7 (I'm not sure if Brock, {{an|Misty}}, Jessie, James and Meowth's actors from those movies are missing as well). So anyway, if you can do anything for this, I'd be please if you could fix these missing facts. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 12:39, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

== What happened to the glitches I was confirming==

Hey. I'm Cycling Road's younger brother. Whoever you are, I was writing and editing in glitches that I feel needed to be addressed. I just discovered or as someone told me on Yahoo Answers that the EXP Share giving one less EXP Point to a Pokemon holding it that defeats another one was a glitch. I put it under the right game and I had it happen to me in Pearl and I'm sure it was ok to place in all 4th gen games. I wasn't making anything chatty at all and I learned how to use the preview button and it took me a while. What did I do wrong? ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 22:32, 1 January 2012 (UTC))

== I Don't Want to Start an Edit War, but... ==

Hi DZ. I recently saw that you undid my edit to the mainspace article on the Pokédex, and in the summary, it said, "unfortunately, that doesn't fit this site". I was just wondering, in your eyes, why does it not? I just wanted to give the people that are new to Pokémon video games a way to find out how to use the Pokédex, since it is an essential asset for any and all Pokémon Trainers. Also, I had something similar to the section that you removed in one of my previous edits to the page, which was removed a few weeks later. I was actually kinda sad about that, and as a result, I left Bulbapedia for a few weeks a little while back due to that and other factors. So I'm wondering: Why does it not "fit this site" in your eyes and how can I make it so that it does, if possible? Thanks! [[User:Pikachu9000|Pikachu]][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]] 20:40, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
:Well, {{tt|it wasn't really written according to the {{bp|Manual of style}}|ironically, it's mentioned in your Rule 5}}; "How to operate the Unova Pokédex" isn't a good name for a section, and your text didn't have {{bp|link templates}} or paragraphs.

Any resemblance between "塔を登れ" and "タワーオブヘブン"? I am aware of the difference, just curious since the in-game name of Celestial Tower is タワーオブヘブン, but the episode title uses Kanji.

== Swedish titles ==

I've discovered that from an address known as pocketmonsters dot com you can find titles from Pokémon anime episodes in different language. And since Sweden is pretty close to Finland and our other national language, I've started adding Swedish titles to episodes that still lack them. However, I've noticed that there are so many titles to be added that it takes too much time of my computer using, so could you please some favor for me by addind at least some titles? I don't know how well you understand/speak Swedish, but if you could find a free spot in your schedule, could you do it? You can use Google Translate if you find it hard, but also remember that those translations aren't always quite correct. I'm pretty sure that all season 1 titles are already in Bulbapedia and I've added every single DP titles as well as all BW titles I could find. Thank you already beforehand. :) --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 16:52, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

'''Lapras''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラプラス''' ''Laplace'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lapras is a large sea creature that resembles a {{wp|plesiosaur}}. It has {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with fins|four flippers}}, however its front ones are notably larger than its hind flippers. It has a long neck, and large black eyes. Lapras has curled ear-like appendages, and a short horn in the middle of its forehead. The majority of its body is blue, while its underside is a light cream color. Its most distinguishing feature is the heavy shell on its back, which is largely dotted with blunt knobs.

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

===Special abilities===
Lapras is most known for its fondness of {{m|Surf|moving people and Pokémon across bodies of water}}.
Lapras also possess the ability to {{m|sing}}, putting Pokémon and people to sleep. Some Lapras are able to develop {{t|Psychic}}

===Behavior===
Lapras are social Pokémon, and they swim through the sea in large pods. They keep track of their fellow pod members through use of high-pitched songs they constantly sing, much like whales. Unfortunately they are very docile and do not like to fight, which has made them an easy target for hunters. They are currently very rare in the wild. Their songs have become very sorrowful in recent times as it has become harder and harder for these peaceful Pokémon to find others of their kind. They are highly intelligent.

===Habitat===
Lapras are native to the cold waters of glacial regions. They are extremely rare due to hunting, and are nearly extinct. They still exist in secluded spots in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]].

{{Animedexbody|Holiday Hi-Jynx|Lapras|Ash's Pokédex|Lapras. This intellectual advanced Pokémon is able to [[Talking Pokémon|understand human speech]]. With its mild temperament, Lapras prefers to carry humans on its back, rather than engage in [[Pokémon battle]]s.}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Pryce Lapras Family Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Lapras as seen in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{spoilers}}
The most notable role of Lapras in [[Pokémon Adventures]] was being one of the Pokémon of [[Pryce]]. In his youth, Pryce lost two of his favorite Lapras, La Pris and La Prus, in an avalanche just as the {{pkmn|Egg}} borne by them hatched. Unable to get over his loss, Pryce swore to save his Lapras and thus began researching into time travel, setting the events of the [[Johto]] saga in motion. Eventually, Pryce was able to capture {{p|Celebi}} and enter time, only to lose Celebi as the [[Poké Ball]] containing it was shattered, causing him to be unable to override time any further. However, the baby Lapras, La Glace, was able to enter the time in which Pryce's Lapras were separated, and the family enjoyed a happy reunion while Pryce was eventually lost in time.{{endspoilers}}

Years prior, in the {{chap|Yellow}}, {{adv|Blue}} is seen capturing a wild Lapras and giving it to a kid in a flashback that dates to around the same time as {{adv|Red}}'s first fight with {{adv|Giovanni}}.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Lapras EToP.png|thumb|150px|[[Ash's Lapras]] in the [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
{{main|Ash's Lapras}}
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ash saves a Lapras from a swarm of {{p|Krabby}} tormenting it. Like in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Ash used this Lapras as a mode of transportation through the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. It is not known in this version if he releases it. Misty also uses one as a mode of transportation.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
{{Zensho|Satoshi}} has a Lapras which originally belonged to Sabrina and was given to him after trying to defeat Giovanni.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky|Explorers of Sky]]: Lapras is the Pokémon that ferries Pokémon to the [[Hidden Land]]. When {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} explored the [[Brine Cave]] and found the strange marking on the wall there, Lapras asked Wigglytuff not to investigate it further to keep the Hidden Land a secret. When the player and partner had to get to the Hidden Land to save the world, Lapras responded to the presence of the [[Relic Fragment]] that matched the pattern on the wall, shooting a beam into the sea, summoning Lapras. Lapras ferries the player, the partner, and Grovyle to the Hidden Land, along the way telling the story of what happened when Wigglytuff and {{mdc|Chatot|2}} came to Brine Cave. Later, after the player defeats Dialga at Temporal Tower, Lapras will be waiting at the beach and can ferry the player and the partner back to the Hidden Land again. There is no limit to how many times Lapras can do this.

==Trivia==
[[File:131Lapras RG.png|thumb|right|150px|Lapras shown with teeth in its Generation I artwork.]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Lapras was originally going to be called "Ness" which is derived from the {{wp|Loch Ness monster}}.
* Due to their similar appearance, {{p|Shellos}} was initially thought to be a [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolution]] of Lapras. This was eventually proven to be {{p|Gastrodon|false}}.
* Lapras can learn three of the four [[one-hit knockout move]]s. The only one it cannot learn is {{m|Guillotine}}.
* Lapras is one of the few [[Generation I]] non-legendary Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Ditto}}.
* Excluding all [[legendary Pokémon]], Lapras has the highest base stat total of a non-evolved Pokémon (with a grand total of 535 stat points). However, Lapras used to come second, as {{p|Snorlax}} used to hold this trait - having 5 more stat points than Lapras - until [[Generation IV]], when {{p|Munchlax}} was introduced.
* Lapras was depicted with teeth in its [[Generation I]] official artwork and in Pokémon Adventures.
* Lapras is tied with {{p|Vanilluxe}} for having the highest base stat total of all non-legendary {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.
** It also has the highest base HP of all Ice-types.
* Although Lapras was able to learn {{m|SolarBeam}} via [[TM]] in [[Generation I]], it was not able to learn the move in any other generations.
* Lapras is one of two Pokémon to use telepathy in a regular episode of the anime. The other is {{p|Ralts}}.
* Along with Pikachu, Lapras is one of [[Veronica Taylor]]'s favorite Pokémon.

===Origin===
This {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is based on the fabled {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}} in {{wp|Scotland}}, also known as Nessie. The creature and this Pokémon are said to resemble the marine reptile known as the {{wp|plesiosaurus}}. However, while Lapras has a long neck, it is not nearly as long as the plesiosaurus's neck, whereas the body is very similar to the creature that is said to be in Loch Ness. Lapras's intelligence, singing and rarity can be comparable with some {{wp|cetacean}}s. It is also possible that its long neck and head (as well as its whole body) take some inspiration from the mast heads and hulls of {{wp|Viking}} ships.

====Name origin====
Lapras is a corruption of Laplace.

Laplace may be a reference to {{wp|Pierre-Simon Laplace}}, a mathematician who wrote several books on the mathematical properties of the sea and tides, or derive from ''la place'' (French for ''seat''), referring to how passengers sit on its back like a seat to be ferried across bodies of water. It may also derived from {{wp|Lapis|lapis lazuli}}, a bright blue gem.

'''Mewtwo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{pkmn2|legendary}} Pokémon.

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

It is among the most well-known Pokémon, being the star of [[M01|the first movie]] and, in Generation I, the most powerful Pokémon in regards to its total base stats. It is a member of the [[Mew duo]] along with {{p|Mew}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mewtwo is one of the first [[artificial Pokémon|Pokémon created by science]]. The scientists who created it dreamed of creating the world's strongest Pokémon. It is widely considered unique, because only one was genetically created. However, this has yet to be fully confirmed.

Mewtwo is a creature with a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|humanoid posture}}, but has a few feline features. Mewtwo's body is grayish-purple with a purple underside and a long, purple tail. Mewtwo has three circular digits on each appendage. It has purple eyes (sometimes blue when attacking) and two short ears.

One of Mewtwo's most notable features is the tube extending from the back of its skull to its spine. It is most likely a secondary spinal cord, or a system of nerves, allowing for an increased amount of blood and sensory transmission to the brain, heightening its psychic powers.

====Gender differences====
This Pokémon is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Mewtwo is highly skilled with {{t|Psychic}} powers. It can levitate through use of telekinesis, speak telepathically, and take control of another living being's mind. It has a powerful [[signature move]], {{m|Psystrike}}, and it is also known for its powerful {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Mewtwo is also capable of wielding various types of attacks (but to a lesser extent than {{p|Mew}}). To exert its powerful psychic abilities, it will stay motionless for long periods of time in intense concentration to raise its capabilities to the maximum power.

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Mewtwo fights with a highly skilled combination of {{m|Psywave}}s and a giant spoon for long range and close range battles, respectively.

In the anime, Mewtwo also has the ability to telekinetically create a massive hurricane and is constantly protected from harm inside a reflective sphere of psychic energy. Altered in the English version, it is claimed that the hurricane was powerful enough to destroy the planet, as well as Mewtwo being able to block a Pokémon's "special abilities".

===Behavior===
Due to its early visions of the human race, Mewtwo is known to be very aggressive and thinks of nothing but battling and defeating its foes. Its viciousness results from the repeated recombining of its DNA and the loss of its friend {{an|Amber}} (about whom it completely forgot while sleeping from tranquilizers after meeting her). During the anime special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', however, Mewtwo seems to have developed a very protective and guardian-like nature to the point of surrendering to {{an|Giovanni}} just to keep its fellow clones safe.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Mewtwo, being a cloned Pokémon, has no ''natural'' habitat. However, it has been known to make its hideout in the lowest level of [[Cerulean Cave]]. Also, in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Mewtwo has been seen roaming a large city under the cover of night. It generally likes to be in dark solitude, such as the darkness of a deep cave. However, in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team]], this artificial Pokémon is said to sleep in a [[Western Cave|cave located in the west]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Unknown.

==History==
According to the [[Pokémon Mansion journals|scientific logs]] found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} of [[Cinnabar Island]], Mewtwo was born of a pregnant {{p|Mew}}, found deep in the jungles of [[Guyana]], whose embryo had been tampered with to alter its DNA. It was held and studied in the mansion where the scientists, including [[Blaine]] and [[Dr. Fuji]], performed horrific gene-splicing experiments that made it vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free of the Mansion (destroying it in the process) and fled. It can be encountered in [[Cerulean Cave]], which is unable to be accessed until after a Trainer has proven his or her skill at [[Indigo Plateau]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Mewtwo anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Mewtwo in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Mewtwo (anime)]]====
While Mewtwo has been the Pokémon of focus of two {{pkmn|movie}}s, it also made brief appearances in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' in its body armor. The first instance was when {{an|Giovanni}} used it to battle {{Gary}}'s {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}} and {{p|Nidoking}}. The second time was when Mewtwo totaled Giovanni's headquarters and flew off. While a scene involving Mewtwo and Giovanni did appear in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', it wasn't in the movie. Mewtwo made further appearances during the openings of ''[[M06|Jirachi Wish Maker]]'' standing on a rooftop wearing a cape, in the intro of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', chasing a {{p|Mew}}.

====Other====
A {{pkmn2|mirage}} Mewtwo appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' and is the most powerful Pokémon controlled by the [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]].

[[File:Mewtwo Adventures.png|thumb|200px|{{adv|Mewtwo}} as it appears in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
During the {{Vol|Magical Pokémon Journey|10|final volume}} of [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], [[Hazel]] goes to a forest in another dimension to find Mew so it can grant her a wish, and gets trapped by Mewtwo.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Mewtwo (Adventures)}}
Mewtwo has a similar origin and personality to the Mewtwo that appeared in the anime. It is a genetically engineered Pokémon created by [[Blaine]] for [[Team Rocket]] by splicing Mew's DNA with his own. Blaine later defected from Team Rocket and hid himself away, as both he and Mewtwo were suffering from an illness caused by a shared psychic link due to their mutual DNA. Mewtwo went on a rampage and hid itself in the Cerulean Cave, but {{adv|Red}} was able to capture him with a Master Ball and return him to Blaine so he could attempt to show the mutant compassion and, if possible, find a cure for their illness. Blaine and Mewtwo fought against [[Lance]] two years later, but were defeated when their condition weakened them and Blaine collapsed. The pair were later cured by the flames of {{p|Entei}} whom Blaine had earlier befriended and partnered with. Later, Blaine left Mewtwo on his own, and the legendary Pokémon only returned in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} when he learned of Giovanni's plans to use {{adv|Deoxys}} for nefarious purposes. Finally starting to speak through its mind, Mewtwo joined up with Red to attempt to defeat Deoxys and Giovanni, and with Red's help managed to defeat the duo after a tough fight that nearly killed him. It has a Quiet [[nature]].

===In the Pokémon Get da ze! manga===
[[Shū's father]] is portrayed as having been the creator of Mewtwo after a failed five year search for the elusive Mew.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
{{main|Blue's Mewtwo}}
Mewtwo is a Pokémon owned by {{OBP|Blue|Pocket Monsters}} in the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga. Mewtwo becomes a "gag Pokémon" when its DNA becomes mixed with {{TP|Isamu Akai|Clefairy}}'s.

==Trivia==
* Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English dub, as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].
* Mewtwo and {{p|Lugia}} have the highest base stat total of all Psychic-types.
* In [[Generation I]], Mewtwo had a base stat total of 590, the highest of any non-glitch Pokémon at the time. The [[Generation II]] special split increased its stat total to 680, where it was later joined by {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|several other Pokémon}} and finally surpassed by {{p|Arceus}}'s total of 720, and once again surpassed in the next generation by {{p|Kyurem}}'s total of 700 in one of its new forms.
** Mewtwo is the only Pokémon with a 680 base stat total that is not a [[version mascot]] and is also the only one that is not part of any [[legendary trio]]s.
* A {{shiny}} Mewtwo from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} will appear black instead of green when viewed through [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
* A [[Pokémon Mansion journals|journal]] quote from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} states that Mewtwo's birthday is February 6.
* Mewtwo can learn damaging moves of all types except {{t|Dragon}}.
* An image of Mewtwo is seen on the door to [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', even though Mewtwo was a secret Pokémon in the anime at that time.
* Although intended to be a stronger variation of Mew in all respects, Mewtwo can learn fewer moves, has two lower potential Pokéathlon stats, and has a lower base {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}.
* Although Mewtwo is a clone of {{p|Mew}}, it comes before Mew in the Pokédex.
* Mewtwo is the only legendary Pokémon with a base stat total of 660 or higher that cannot learn {{m|AncientPower}} by any means.
* While most other legendary Pokémon that are its equal in terms of [[base stats|base stat total]] have a [[signature move]], Mewtwo did not receive one until [[Generation V]], when it became the only Pokémon able to learn {{m|Psystrike}}.
** This makes it the only [[Legendary Pokémon]] to gain a [[signature move]] outside of its [[Generation I|debut generation]].
* Mewtwo's base stats are numerically the same as {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}'s, only with a different arrangement.
* Mewtwo's known abilities are shared with another Pokémon, {{p|Vespiquen}}.
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Mewtwo as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Mewtwo on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.

===Origin===
Like Mew, Mewtwo has some {{wp|feline}} characteristics. Its body structure is much larger as a result of {{wp|gene splicing}}. Mewtwo looks similar to {{wb|Giygas}}'s appearance in {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}; this may be because some of the people who had previously worked on the Mother series also worked on the Pokémon series. Mewtwo also shares some aspects with the {{wp|Grey alien}}.

====Name origin====
Mewtwo is a combination of ''{{p|Mew}}'' (the Pokémon it originated from) and ''two'' (indicating that it is a clone). It also sounds somewhat phonetically similar to ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (myūtanto).

'''Dragonite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイリュー''' ''Kairyu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dragonair}} starting at [[level]] 55. It is the final form of {{p|Dratini}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Despite being bulky, Dragonite are incredibly agile and fast. Unlike their pre-evolutions, they are orange and possess {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|arms and legs}}, all of which are equipped with three claws. Dragonite is considerably shorter than {{p|Dragonair}}, having lost its serpentine form. However, it retains the horn on its forehead that it possessed as a Dragonair, although it is now colored orange like most of Dragonite's body. They resemble bipedal European dragons, and each one has a pair of little green-colored wings that can increase in size while flying. They have a taller stature than most humans. Dragonite also possess S-shaped yellow antennae and a cream-colored, striated underbelly.

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

===Special abilities===
Dragonite are very strong Pokémon. When they become particularly angry, they may go on a {{m|Outrage|rampage}}, and will be unable to control their aggression for some time. They are also able to use many elemental attacks such as {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Ice Beam}}, {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Water Pulse}}, and the elemental punches. The speed of their flight is so immense they are able to circle the globe in sixteen hours, traveling roughly {{tt|1,556 mph|2,505 km/h}}, or about three times the speed of an average {{wp|airplane}}.

===Behavior===
Dragonite have a kindhearted disposition and are said to have human-like intelligence. They have been said to save people from drowning and lead ships that have been trapped in storms to safety. If angered, however, they are capable of going on uncontrollable rampages with devastating results.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Dragonite are very rare in the wild. People have claimed that there is an island somewhere that only Dragonite inhabit. There are also some rare reports of Dragonite inhabiting the waters outside [[Dragonspiral Tower]].

===Diet===

[[File:Giant Dragonite.png|right|thumb|220px|The giant Dragonite shown on ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'']]
===Major appearances===
====[[Drake's Dragonite]]====
A {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}} belonging to {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} was used to battle Ash in ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'' and ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''.

====[[Lance's Dragonite]]====
[[Lance]] used his Dragonite to defeat the [[Red Gyarados]] in ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]].'' [[Lance's Dragonite]] appeared again during ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.


====Other====
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Dragonite seemed to be an unknown Pokémon before ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', [[Bill]] is seen looking at the Pokémon and calling it unknown. That Dragonite was a [[giant Pokémon]].

A Dragonite that belonged to the original [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Blackthorn Gym]] appeared in ''[[EP252|Fangs For Nothin']]''. This Dragonite went on a rampage when {{TRT}} tried to steal a sacred bowl of fire in the following episode. It calmed down later on in that episode.

A Dragonite is set to debut in [[BW089]] for {{an|Iris}}. It is not known that if Iris capture or befriend it.

==In the manga==
[[File:Drake Dragonite EToP.png|thumb|220px|[[Drake's Dragonite]] as it appears in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Drake's Dragonite}}
{{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} and his Dragonite also appear in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, once again as his star Pokémon and the last opponent {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}'s team faced. It defeated {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Charizard}}, and was eventually defeated by {{AP|Pikachu}}.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], a wild Dragonite first appears in {{PAV|2}}, where {{adv|Red}} searches for an [[HM03]], containing the move {{m|Surf}}, knowing that his rival {{adv|Blue}} had obtained it already. After a tough fight during which it showed great resilience taking [[Pika]]'s electric attacks to no effect, and withstanding a {{m|Double-Edge}} from {{DL|Red (Adventures)|Snor}}, it was eventually beaten when [[Misty]] arrived with her {{p|Gyarados}}, [[Gyara]]. Gyara then was traded for Red's {{DL|Red (Adventures)|Krabby}}, as Dragonite destroyed the HM and it was the only Pokémon which knew the move.

Two years later, [[Lance]], leader of the [[Elite Four]], is shown to have an even stronger {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}, one whose {{a|Multiscale|hide is so thick}} that it was able to stay in a vat of molten lava for an extended period of time, and none of {{adv|Yellow}}'s weak attacks had any effect. It was very devoted to Lance's cause of exterminating the human race in order to provide good habitats for Pokémon.

Presumably, this same Dragonite rampaged at the Pokéathlon stadium in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, only to be eventually defeated by {{adv|Gold}}'s [[Togebo]].

{{FB|Hall Matron|Argenta}}'s Dragonite was used to battle {{adv|Platinum}} at the [[Battle Hall]] in ''[[PS429|VS. Dragonite]]''.

==Trivia==
* Dragonite is "smaller" than its pre-evolution, {{p|Dragonair}}. The same thing happens to {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, and {{p|Porygon2}}.
**However, it happens to be the tallest [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].
* Dragonite and its evolution family are the only {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon in [[Generation I]].
* Dragonite is the only {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|Brown|brown color group}}.
* In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Dragonite states that it is the guardian of the sea, the title that {{p|Lugia}} is referred to as. This title is also present in Dragonite's Pokédex entry in Pokémon Stadium.
** They also share a unique {{a|Multiscale|Hidden Ability}}.

===Origin===
Dragonite resembles Japanese Sea-dragons, or {{wp|European dragon}}s, or fairy dragons; its description as the "guardian of the sea" may also suggest it has elements similar to the {{wp|Chinese dragon}}. Similar-looking {{wp|Japanese dragon}}s exists in art done by {{wp|Utagawa Kuniyoshi}}<ref> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kuniyoshi_Utagawa,_Dragon_2.jpg</ref>.

====Name origin====
Dragonite may be a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and ''{{wp|knight}}'', ''ignite'' (since it learns several Fire-type moves), or ''night''. It could also refer to ''draconite'', a mythical stone said to be found in the heads of dragons and are pyramidal in shape (similar to Dragonite's horn).

Kairyu a combination of 海 ''kai'' (ocean) or 破壊 ''hakai'' (destruction) and 竜 ''ryū'' (dragon).

'''Dragonair''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハクリュー''' ''Hakuryu'') is a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dratini}} starting at [[level]] 30 and evolves into {{p|Dragonite}} starting at level 55.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Dragonair are long, {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with serpentine bodies|serpentine}} Pokémon that can be up to 13 feet long. They have dark, glossy eyes and a small horn on their foreheads. On either side of their heads are small feathery wings. Dragonair are covered in sapphire blue scales, except for their bellies, which are a bright white. A feature unique to Dragonair are the small blue orbs that appear under their necks and on the ends of their tails. They somewhat resemble larger versions of their {{p|Dratini|pre-evolutionary}} forms.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Dragonair give out a distinct, gentle aura that can be felt by humans. As seen in ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]'', Dragonair seem to be able to make their wings grow to large sizes in order to fly, causing many people to see these Pokémon flying. Dragonair also host a large amount of energy within their bodies, which they discharge from their crystals, allowing them to change the weather. Dragonair's orbs can be used as a source of light.

===Behavior===
Dragonair are docile Pokémon that give out a gentle aura that can be felt by people nearby. Although shy and protective of their habitat, they are also very powerful dragon Pokémon. Dragonair have the ability to {{a|Shed Skin|shed their skin}}, ridding their bodies of unwanted [[status ailment|ailments]].

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Dragonair are rare Pokémon that often inhabit lakes and seas. The best places to look for one might be [[Kanto Safari Zone]], [[Dragon's Den]], [[Mt. Coronet]], and [[Dragonspiral Tower]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Dragonair PK04.png|thumb|right|Dragonair flying]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Dragonair was originally known as "Dragyn".
* Though mentioned and seen in the anime to have the ability to fly, Dragonair is unable to use the [[HM]] {{m|Fly}}, or any other {{type|Flying}} moves for that matter.
* In [[Blackthorn City]], a woman is willing to trade her {{p|Rhydon}}{{sup|GS}} or {{p|Dodrio}}{{sup|C}}{{sup|HGSS}} for a female Dragonair. This makes Dragonair the only Pokémon able to be male or female that must be a specific gender for an [[list of in-game trades|in-game trade]].
* On {{rt|45|Johto}}, level 10 Dragonair can be found by [[fishing]], though Dratini do not evolve until level 30.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on {{wp|sea serpent}}s or ''ryu'', traditional {{wp|Japanese dragon}}s or {{wp|Chinese dragon}}s who bring good luck. It also appears to look like a snake. In fact, its tail makes it resemble a {{wp|rattlesnake}}. Its wing-like ears on its head resembles the wings on Greek god Hermes' shoes, and its long, snakelike body may be a reference to the snakes on his scepter. It's also very likely that it was based on the {{wp|imugi}} (also spelt imoogi), which is a proto-dragon that resembles a snake and lives in water or caves much like Dragonair. After a imugi lives a thousand years a jewel (called a Yeouiju) will fall from the sky and if the imugi catches it, it will become a full fledged dragon, which may be where Dragonair acquires its jewels from.

The jewel on Dragonair's neck might also be a reference to the Japanese folktale, {{wp|The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter}}, in which the moon princess Kaguya-hime asks some princes to bring her back some items, one of which includes a colored jewel from a dragon's neck.

====Name origin====
Dragonair may be a combination of ''dragon'' and ''air'' (referring to its ability to change the weather or to its ''air'' of grace and majesty) or ''debonair'' (graceful, referring to its graceful flying capabilities). It could also make reference to a "lair", the traditional home of a dragon.

Hakuryū could be taken to mean 白竜 (white dragon). Hakuryu was also the name of the dragon-like companion of {{wp|Zhu Bajie}}/Cho Hakkai from the legend of the {{wp|Journey to the West}} in Buddhist lore.

'''Dratini''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミニリュウ''' ''Miniryu'') is a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Dragonair}} starting at [[level]] 30, which evolves into {{p|Dragonite}} starting at level 55.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Dratini are {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with serpentine bodies|serpentine}} Pokémon that inhabit lakes and rivers. They possess white fins on the sides of their heads as well as a large, round silver nose on their face. They also have purple-colored eyes and a small, white circular feature on their head. Dratini are constantly growing, and can become quite long. As they grow, they {{a|Shed Skin|shed their delicate deep blue skin}}. Dratini also seem to have a much stockier body than their {{p|Dragonair|evolved form}}.

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

===Special abilities===
As a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, Dratini can use Dragon-type moves such as {{m|Dragon Rage}} and {{m|Twister}}. They are also capable of using {{t|Water}}, {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Ice}}, and {{type|Fire}} moves. Some examples are {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Ice Beam}}, and {{m|Flamethrower}}.

===Behavior===
Dratini are timid, elusive, and extremely shy Pokémon, and thus are rarely seen, resulting in the belief that they are mythological among certain communities in Kanto.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Dratini are said to be nonexistent or one-of-a-kind Pokémon, as they are so rare. However, they are found in several places, including the [[Kanto Safari Zone]], [[Dragon's Den]], [[Mt. Coronet]], and [[Dragonspiral Tower]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Unknown.

==In the anime==
[[File:Dratini anime.png|thumb|200px|Dratini in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Clair's Dratini]]====
Dratini's first dub appearance was in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''. This Dratini belonged to [[Clair]] and {{TRT}} wanted to steal it from her. Clair's Dratini evolved into a {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} at the end of the episode.

====Other====
Dratini first appeared in [[EP035]]. [[Kaiser|The Warden]] of the {{safari|Kanto}} was protecting the Dragon Pokémon. The episode was banned from English-audiences due to excessive use of a firearm.

===Minor appearances===
A Dratini appeared in one of {{TRT}}'s fantasies in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''.

Another Dratini appeared in ''[[PK09|Snorlax Snowmen]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Dratini first debuted in ''[[PS036|Drat That Dratini!]]'' in [[Viridian Forest]]. It had been attacking {{adv|Yellow}} but was calmed by {{adv|Red}}.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Dratini was originally known as "Dragoon". Although this word can mean a European military unit that is transported on horseback but fights on foot, the name was probably selected as a combination of ''dragon'' and ''lagoon''.
* Dratini is the first {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon by [[National Pokédex]] order. Its evolutionary family comprise the only Dragon types in [[Generation I]].
* Dratini and its evolutions share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Horsea}} and its evolutions, and {{p|Salamence}}. They are all known as Dragon Pokémon.
* Dratini's sprite in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Green featured it with a striped stomach which was removed for {{game|Yellow}} and all following games.
* Dratini is the only Pokémon not related to a {{t|Water}} type by evolution that is capable of learning {{m|Aqua Jet}}.
** As a result, Dratini, its evolutions and {{p|Masquerain}} are the only Pokémon that do not gain [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] from it.
* Dratini is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
It appears to be based upon {{wp|sea serpent}}s or ''ryu'', traditional {{wp|Japanese dragon}}s or {{wp|Chinese dragon}}s who bring good luck. Its constant growth is similar to that of {{wp|Jörmungandr}}, a serpent in Norse mythology. Its reclusive nature and the fact that for a long time it was considered a myth is reminiscent of the {{wp|loch ness monster}}.

====Name origin====
Dratini is a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and a corruption of ''tiny''; ''tini-tiny'' is a phrase to indicate smallness. ''Ini'' is also an Italian suffix, applied to a word to imply endearment or smallness. Despite this, it is fairly large for a Pokémon, being nearly six feet (1.8 meters) in length.

Miniryu a combination of ''miniature'' and 竜 ''ryū'' (dragon).

'''Moltres''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ファイヤー''' ''Fire'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Along with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Zapdos}}, it is one of the three [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Moltres takes the form of a large bird with flame-colored plumage, resembling a {{wp|phoenix}}. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|dazzling wings}} and elaborate head crest appear to be covered with flames. It has a straight, pointed brown beak that is the same color as its feet. Compared to the other legendary birds, it has the smallest feet and legs. It is the largest of the legendary birds, but its feathers make up a good portion of its bulk.

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

===Special abilities===
When Moltres flaps its wings, it creates a brilliant flash of flames. It is also one of the few Pokémon known to naturally wield the very powerful {{type|Flying}} move {{m|Sky Attack}}.

===Behavior===
Moltres is one of the [[legendary birds]] of Kanto, and is a poorly understood species, believed by many to be pure myth. Its behavior is largely clandestine, but it appears to migrate to the south during the springtime. There are many folktales surrounding this species, but perhaps the most popular is that its appearance will bring about an early spring. When Moltres flaps its wings, it sheds hundreds of tiny embers. It is believed that these embers have healing properties. If injured, it will immerse itself in lava to heal.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Moltres appear to live in hot regions, particularly active volcanoes. They are spectacularly rare. Moltres have been sighted on {{ka|Victory Road}} and near the [[Sevii Islands]]. One has been recently sighted, {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Sinnoh]]. Another, possibly the one from Victory Road, lives in [[Mt. Silver]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Unknown.

==In the anime==
[[File:Moltres movie.png|thumb|right|240px|Moltres in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
===={{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Moltres|Moltres (M02)}}====
Moltres made its first true appearance in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''. [[Lawrence III]] wanted to capture the three [[legendary birds]] as well as their master {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|02}}.

====Other====
Moltres also appeared in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up]]'' where it defeated {{TRT}}. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP075|Round One - Begin!]]'' and in another flashback in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''.

Moltres appeared in ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]'' where [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] attempted to steal it.

===Minor appearances===
A robotic Moltres was shown chasing [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''.

Additionally it was mentioned in ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'' where [[James]] mistakenly believed that it was his "Inner Pokémon" and dressed up in a Moltres costume.

A Moltres made a cameo in the intro of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Sabrina Moltres Adventures.png|thumb|Moltres as it appears in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[Sabrina]] is shown to have obtained Moltres for [[Team Rocket]] during the [[Kanto]] saga, but it is not seen in battle. It is later combined with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Zapdos}} to form a singular legendary bird, but they separate once Sabrina is defeated and go back to the wild.

{{adv|Green}} later catches Moltres on [[Mt. Ember]] during her training journey to overcome her fear of birds. She used it and its fellow legendary birds in the fight against [[Karen]] and [[Will]], who were commanding the [[Masked Man]]'s {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}. She has not used any of them since, meaning they have probably been deposited in the box or released.

===In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team manga===
Moltres appeared in ''[[GRT3|Goodbye to a Peaceful Village]]'', where it attacked [[Ginji]] and {{OBP|Mudkip|Ginji's Rescue Team}} because it believed that Ginji was destined to destroy the world.

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:Smashmoltres.gif|thumb|Moltres in Super Smash Bros.]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
Moltres made a cameo appearance in the Saffron City stage. Very rarely, it will fly by in the background.
[[File:SSBB Moltres.png|220px|thumb|Moltres in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Moltres will remain where it is released, flapping its wings. It will then use {{m|Sky Attack}} in Melee or {{m|Fly}} in Brawl to leave the arena. Any opponent that touches it will receive a sizable amount of damage. Moltres is the only [[legendary birds|legendary bird]] to return in Brawl.
====Trophy Information====
=====Melee=====
''As tradition has it, the onset of spring heralds the return of this legendary Pokémon from its southern home. Its bright orange color and fiery aspect lends to its overwhelming appearance. {{m|Sky Attack}}, the strongest of flying moves, is a perfect fit for this burning phenom, but it obviously also excels at powerful {{type|Fire}} moves.''

=====Brawl=====
''"A Flame Pokémon. It's one of the legendary bird Pokémon. When Moltres appears in a town, it is said that spring will come earlier there than in other towns. If Moltres is injured, it apparently returns to a volcano to heal its wings with magma. Moltres spreads its wide, flame-covered wings and attacks opponents with the exciting and highly damaging {{m|Sky Attack}}."''

==Trivia==
* Moltres's sprites and artwork have depicted it with wings fully engulfed, or only partially engulfed in flames. As of [[Generation III]], it is only shown with its wings partially engulfed.
** On a similar note, its sprites and artwork show it with a yellow body. In the anime, its body is cream colored.
* Moltres shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Flareon}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Moltres is found in [[Johto]], making it the only [[legendary birds|legendary bird]] not to be found near its location in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
* Moltres is the only one of the three legendary birds to not appear in the original opening of the English dub.
* Moltres is the only member of [[Legendary birds|its trio]] that can't have super effective [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] against a Pokémon of its own type. Both {{p|Zapdos}}'s {{t|Electric}} moves and {{p|Articuno}}'s {{t|Ice}} moves are super effective against the {{t|Flying}} Pokémon.
* Moltres is the only Fire-type Pokémon to learn {{m|SolarBeam}} by level-up.

===Origin===
Like {{p|Ho-Oh}}, Moltres is based on the legend of the {{wp|phoenix}}. It is most likely based on either the Arabian phoenix or the {{wp|Firebird (Slavic folklore)|Slavic Firebird}}. Others claim that the bird is based on the Japanese mythical bird known as 朱雀 ''{{wp|Vermilion Bird|Suzaku}}'', guardian of the South, and is not a true phoenix. Regardless, the Pokémon has a very similar appearance to both the phoenix and the Suzaku. It may also be based on a {{wp|heron}} or {{wp|Bennu}}, because of their similarities in shape. It also embodies traits from a number of other {{wp|firebird}}s, such as the {{wp|three-legged bird}}.

===Name origin===
Moltres is a combination of ''molten'' and ''tres'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''three'', indicating that it is the third in the series of [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]).

Fire is literally ''fire''.

'''Zapdos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サンダー''' ''Thunder'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Along with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Moltres}}, it is one of the three [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Zapdos has the form of a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|large bird}} with black and yellow plumage. Its spiky feathers make it appear to be made of lightning. Its tail feathers stick out in several directions, furthering this illusion. A large crest of feathers decorates its head, and distinctive black rings encircle its eyes. Its beak is very long and thin. While Zapdos is the smallest and lightest of the legendary birds, it is still a {{DL|List of Pokémon by weight| 110.3 lbs to 121.3 lbs (50.1 kg to 55.0 kg)|large}} Pokémon.

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

===Special abilities===
When Zapdos flaps its glittering wings, it releases electricity, potentially causing thunderstorms.

===Behavior===
Zapdos is one of the [[legendary birds]] of Kanto. It is a poorly understood species, believed by many to be pure myth. It is always seen in conjunction with thunderstorms, leading many to believe that it gathers energy from the electricity in the atmosphere. It is also reported to cause massive crackling and snapping sounds when it flies; these are attributed to the lightning bolts it is said to shed when airborne.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
When Zapdos is sighted, which is not often, it is almost always during electrical storms. It appears to live in thunderclouds, but one is said to live in or near a power plant in Kanto. It may be attracted by the electricity the plant produces.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Unknown.

==In the anime==
[[File:Zapdos movie 2.png|thumb|right|250px|Zapdos in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
===={{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Zapdos|Zapdos (M02)}}====
Zapdos made its first true appearance in ''The Power of One''. [[Lawrence III]] wanted to capture the three [[legendary birds]] as well as their master {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|02}}.

====Other====
The Electric Pokémon made its anime debut appearance in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]''. When {{TRT}} made an attempt to steal a crystal that gave a lake the ability to heal {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, they were side-tracked when Zapdos showed up and they changed their objective to capture Zapdos instead.

===Minor appearances===
The first time Zapdos was seen was in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''. However, it wasn't a real Zapdos, just a machine.

A Zapdos made an appearance in the credits of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. [[Jackie]] had captured it with a [[Capture Styler]] and flew away on it.

A Zapdos made a cameo appearance in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]''. This may have been taken from {{game|Platinum}}, where in this version, there is a Zapdos [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] Sinnoh. It made another cameo in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', this time in a flashback.

A Zapdos made a cameo in the intro of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

In a flashback , in [[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]] , a Zapdos was seen flying in a flashback and one of [[Narissa|Narissa's]] Ditto transformed into it .

==In the manga==
[[File:Lt Surge Zapdos Adventures.png|thumb|Zapdos as it appears in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Having captured this legendary bird in the abandoned [[Power Plant]] as in the games, [[Lt. Surge]] appears with Zapdos in his team during the events of {{PAV|3}}, using it as a neverending power source for his Electric-types, allowing them to continually shock {{adv|Red}} at full force, a strategy that turns against him when Red uses [[Saur]]'s {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the supply cords and his insulating underwear with them. After having been merged with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Moltres}} into [[Zapmolcuno|an undiscovered Pokémon]], the three Pallet Town Trainers are able to defeat the combined monster, so it leaves his team, and [[Team Rocket]] afterwards to go back to the wild.

{{adv|Green}} later captures Zapdos before the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}} and uses it against [[Will]] and [[Karen]], having caught it and its legendary bird companions on her personal training journey to overcome her fear of birds. During this battle, it is lent to {{adv|Blue}} when things get rough. Once returned, it is put back in its [[Poké Ball]] and isn't seen again, meaning it has either been deposited into her box or released.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Zapdos uses a powerful {{m|ThunderShock}} that hits opponents several times to produce a substantial amount of damage.

====Trophy information====
''Zapdos flaps its wings, and summer storms appear, throwing lightning every which way. It's said that you can hear this legendary Pokémon coming, as its wings make a very distinctive popping sound as it flies. In addition to electrical moves like the dreaded {{m|Thunder}}, it also wields a vicious move called {{m|Drill Peck}}.''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* Zapdos is the first legendary Pokémon encountered in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. After it kidnaps {{p|Shiftry}}, the player must fight it at the top of [[Mt. Thunder]]. It is possible to recruit Zapdos by returning for another fight after the credits.

==Trivia==
* Of all legendary Pokémon with fixed in-game locations, Zapdos can be obtained with the fewest number of Badges: 3. In the [[Generation I]] games and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|their remakes]], one can catch Zapdos with only the {{Badge|Boulder}}, {{Badge|Cascade}}, and {{Badge|Soul}}, although it is far too strong for most Trainers at that stage, at level 50.
* In Generation I, Zapdos was the only dual-type Electric Pokémon, as {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} did not gain a secondary type until {{t|Steel}} was introduced in [[Generation II]].
* Zapdos shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Electabuzz}}. They are all known as Electric Pokémon.
* Zapdos and {{p|Jolteon}}'s Japanese names are almost exactly the same as each others', with a final ''s'' being the only difference.
* Zapdos is the only one of the [[legendary birds]] to not have a double weakness to {{t|Rock}} (or for that matter, ''any'' double weakness).
* Zapdos shares its cry with [['M]].
* In {{game|Yellow}} and onwards, Zapdos was given an additional toe pointing forward on each foot, giving it three. However, {{g|Stadium 2}} shares the same 3D model for Zapdos as its Generation I 3D games, {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{g|Snap}}, so in that game, it still only has two.
*In the {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', [[Chopper]]'s bike was decorated to look like a Zapdos.

===Origin===
Zapdos is based on the {{wp|Native American}} legend of the {{wp|thunderbird (mythology)|thunderbird}}. The thunderbird was known for being the spirit of thunder, lightning, and rain in the form of a giant bird. The beating of the wings was said to create thunder. It may also have been based on the {{wp|Lightning Bird}}, a bird created from wherever lightning hits the earth. It may also have been based on the {{wp|Impundulu}}, a bird of witchcraft said to summon thunder and lightning with its wings and talons.

===Name origin===
Zapdos is a combination of ''zap'' and ''dos'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''two'', indicating that it is the second in the series of [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]).

Thunder is literally ''thunder''.

'''Articuno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Along with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}}, it is one of the three [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Articuno takes the form of a large bird with predominantly blue plumage. Its coloring is a cyan on its long streamer-like tail and head crest. Its head crest is simple, consisting of three rhombus-shaped feathers on its forehead. Its body is a sky blue, growing lighter on its chest and belly. Its most distinctive feature is its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|large wings}}, which look like they are made of ice. It has a small gray beak and thin, similarly colored legs.

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

===Special abilities===
When Articuno flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in the air around it, making snow fall.

===Behavior===
Articuno is one of the [[legendary birds]] of Kanto. Articuno is more passive than its counterparts are; due to its isolation in the highest mountains, Articuno dislikes battling. It also flies from icy mountain to icy mountain. It is a poorly understood species, believed by many to be pure myth. According to legend, it appears before doomed travelers lost in icy regions. It is impossible to tell if these are valid sightings, as doomed travelers would have no way of passing on their story of the sighting, or merely delusions of the dying. It is described as being spectacular in flight: with its long tail streaming behind it, and its wings shining like ice. It is said to cause snow to fall when it flies, and has the potential ability to create {{m|blizzard}}s.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Articuno lives in cold, isolated locations, such as mountain peaks. Articuno are known to roost inside the [[Seafoam Islands]] of Kanto, [[Frosty Forest]] and [[Mt. Avalanche]] in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon world, and [[Mt. Sorbet]] in Oblivia. Articuno is an extremely rare Pokémon. In {{v2|Platinum}}, it roams around Sinnoh, showing that it can withstand warmer temperatures.

===Diet===

Unknown.

==In the anime==
[[File:Noland Articuno.png|thumb|250px|Articuno in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
===={{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Articuno|Articuno (M02)}}====
Articuno first appeared in the second movie. [[Lawrence III]] attempted to collect {{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Articuno}} and the two other [[legendary birds]] in his scheme to capture {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|02}}.

====[[Noland's Articuno]]====
Also, the [[Frontier Brain]] {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} uses an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}} against certain challengers, as seen in the episode ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', when he accepted {{Ash}}'s challenge and battled against him.

====Other====
Articuno made its anime debut in the episode ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]''. It appears to Team Rocket early in the episode, and then to Ash, Todd, Misty, and Brock. Travelers say that the Articuno watch over them on their journeys through the mountains of [[Johto]]. [[Nurse Joy]] says that Articuno has a nest in all the high mountains and cold places in the world, and flies from nest to nest bringing cold weather with it.

===Minor appearances===
The [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]] briefly wielded the power of a {{pkmn2|mirage}} Articuno in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

An Articuno made a cameo in the intro of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
[[File:Articuno MPJ.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Articuno in front of its Snowcone shop]]
Articuno appears in the eighth chapter of the Magical Pokémon Journey manga, ''[[PPP08|The Legendary Articuno!]]''. In ''The Legendary Articuno!'', there is an Articuno atop a mountain used by a ski resort. This Articuno is rumored to spirit away the lives of lost travelers, but in reality, it is a friendly Pokémon that runs a Snowcone shop. {{MPJ|Pikachu}}, {{MPJ|Clefairy}} and {{MPJ|Jigglypuff}} enter a Snowcone-eating contest at Articuno's shop, and Articuno also rescues an injured [[Hazel]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Articuno is shown to seal itself in a block of ice when it senses the presence of an enemy. It strongly dislikes confrontation. However, in [[Pokémon Adventures volume 3]], [[Team Rocket]] was able to temporary get hold of it, together with {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Zapdos}}. It was used by the then-Rocket Executive [[Koga]] to try to finish {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} and succeeded in freezing them, but that turned out to be a strategy to let the ninja master's guard down and attack him from behind when [[Blue's Charizard]] unfroze them. After his defeat, it is called upon by [[Sabrina]]'s {{p|Kadabra}} with Zapdos and merged to form [[Zapmolcuno]], a combination that proved almost unstoppable until [[Saur]], the {{p|Ivysaur}} it knocked out of the wall, saved its Trainers with a web created using {{m|Vine Whip}} and evolved to {{p|Venusaur}} to deliver the final blow with [[Blue's Charizard|Charizard]] and [[Blasty]]. It at last regains its freedom after the defeat and splits from its fellow birds.

Much later, in the [[Gold, Silver, & Crystal chapter (Adventures)|GSC saga]], it reappears under {{adv|Green}}'s possession with its fellow birds and is lent to Red in the battle against [[Will]] and [[Karen]], who nearly overwhelmed the three with {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}. Since it has not been seen since, it has either been kept in the box or released, its true status unknown.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
Articuno debuted in ''[[PM012|Will You Risk Your Life To Play The Magic Game?!]]'' and was caught by Isamu Akai in the [[PM013|next chapter]].

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
[[Blaine]] catches an Articuno with [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]]'s help.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
Falkner has an Articuno which debuted in ''[[GB03|The Legendary Pokémon Appears!]]''. It went up against {{GnB|Gold}}'s {{p|Pikachu}} after it came from another time.

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

==Merchandise==
Articuno was one of the first four Pokémon designs revealed when the [[Pokémon 151]] brand was first announced. In the shirt design, an Articuno is rising out of the right side with the number 144 on its chest.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Articuno will use a {{m|Blizzard}} attack that freezes any opponent that is caught in it for a few seconds.

====Trophy information====
''Clouds gather, the barometer plunges, and fresh snow falls from the frigid air when this [[legendary Pokémon]] takes wing. Graceful and elegant, it boasts long tail feathers that flap in the wind and are lovely to behold. As would be expected, its combat moves are based on its cold nature; they include {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.''

==Trivia==
* In the [[EP002|second episode]] of the anime, there is an engraving on a wall in the Viridian City Pokémon Center that depicts the [[legendary birds]]. Ash mistakes the Articuno engraving as {{p|Ho-Oh}}. While the blue coloration of the stone indicates the {{t|Ice}} type, and the wings and crest feathers are those of Articuno, the multiple tail feathers look nothing like Articuno's tail, being more similar in appearance to those of Ho-Oh.
* In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there are binoculars in the [[gate]] separating [[Fuchsia City]] from {{rt|15|Kanto}}, through which Articuno can be seen flying toward the sea. In a bout of continuity, or possibly an oversight by the designers, it is still visible in the binoculars if it is captured or defeated in the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* In the opening of ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', [[Todd Snap|Todd]] points out a tall mountain that is Articuno's home. This mountain is, on the outside, the same as {{DL|Shamouti Island|Ice Island|Articuno's home}} in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, it is the only one in its trio that cannot be encountered unless the player enters an event password.
* Articuno is the first legendary Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order, and the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to make its anime debut in a movie.
* Articuno was the last [[Generation I]] Pokémon to be introduced in the anime, and the only one that did not appear in Season 1, if movies and banned episodes are included ({{p|Mew}} is the last if its appearances in movies are not counted).
* Articuno is the only Pokémon other than {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}{{tt|*|Only in Generation II}} that is able to learn an accuracy-focusing move and a OHKO move, learning {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Sheer Cold}}. An Articuno using this combination can be fought in the [[Battle Subway]].

===Origin===
This Pokémon's appearance is based on the {{wp|Simurgh}} , deriving from the Persian رخ {{wp|Roc (mythology)|rokh}}, which is that of a giant arctic bird. Also, its long tail and small body may be reference to the rare bird, the {{wp|quetzal}}. It is also anatomically very similar to the {{wp|White-throated Magpie-jay}}.

===Name origin===
Articuno is a combination of ''arctic'' (far northern regions of the globe) and ''uno'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''one'', indicating that it is the first in the series of [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]).

Freezer is literally ''freezer'' (that which freezes).

'''Aerodactyl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''プテラ''' ''Ptera'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Flying}} [[Fossil]] Pokémon.

It is resurrected from an [[Old Amber]] and is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A ferocious, prehistoric Pokémon, it possesses serrated, saw-like fangs that it uses to tear through the throats of its prey. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|wings}} have light purple skin stretched from its side to its arms. It has a gray, oval-shaped body, and a tail with a triangular tip. Aerodactyl have dark green eyes, though the iris is barely visible.

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

===Special abilities===
Aerodactyl is capable of flying at great speeds and tearing through prey with its fangs. Aerodactyl also shows some form of relationship to dragons, thus allowing it to learn {{t|Dragon}}- and {{type|Fire}} moves such as {{m|Dragon Claw}}, {{m|Fire Blast}}, and {{m|Flamethrower}}.

===Behavior===
Aerodactyl's preferred method of killing its victims is by tearing through their throats with its serrated, saw-like fangs.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
The exact habitat of Aerodactyl is unknown. Even though living samples have been found underground in caves, so far most Aerodactyl are revived from [[Old Amber]]. It most likely lived in mountainous areas.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Unknown.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kenzo Aerodactyl.png|250px|thumb|right|Aerodactyl in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Aerodactyl first appeared in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. It scared off the other [[Generation I]] Fossil Pokémon that were chasing {{Ash}} and {{TRT}}. It then kidnapped the young [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]], who was rescued by his {{AP|Charizard}}. [[Todd Snap|Todd]] took a photo of this Aerodactyl, which was seen in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]''. The same Aerodactyl appeared in a flashback in ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]''.

Fossils of {{p|Kabutops}} and Aerodactyl were resurrected by {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]] in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''; in the English dub, they were once used by an evil Pokémon Trainer to torment the civilians of [[Alto Mare]], but were drowned when a {{p|Latios}} brought water to the city. They were sent to chase after Ash and {{mov|Latias|Latias|5}}. They have blank, yellow-tinted eyes with no pupils and are lined with a thick black outline.

''[[SS015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'' featured an Aerodactyl that was revived by [[Gary Oak]]. The Aerodactyl seemed to enjoy eating a pear-like fruit that grew in the forests of an island. [[Team Rocket]] agents [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] wanted to steal this Aerodactyl in order to present it to [[Dr. Namba]], but were stopped by [[Gary's Umbreon]] and {{p|Dodrio}}, and the Aerodactyl itself, who sent the two Rockets flying with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

Another Aerodactyl appeared in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', where it terrorized [[Oreburgh City]] after being revived from its Fossil state.

===Minor appearances===
Two Aerodactyl can be seen flying within the [[Tree of Beginning]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. Also, one appeared in the opening of the movie.

A [[Mirage Pokémon|Mirage]] Aerodactyl appeared in [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]] to kidnap Professor Oak and Dr. Yung.

An Aerodactyl made a brief cameo in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

An Aerodactyl appeared in the opening scenes of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==Trivia==
* Aerodactyl is one of the few [[Generation I]] Pokémon that, as of [[Generation V]], still have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Lapras}}, and {{p|Ditto}}.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Aerodactyl was originally known as "Ptera", its Japanese name.
* During its first appearance in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', it was mentioned that Aerodactyl was carnivorous, based on its teeth (and the reactions of the other Fossil Pokémon when it arrived). However, in ''[[SS015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'', it is shown and proven to be at least omnivorous, based on its joyful consumption of fruit.
* Aerodactyl is the only [[Fossil]] Pokémon that does not have an evolution or pre-evolution.
** It is also the only Fossil Pokémon that can be obtained in any way other than breeding it or reviving its Fossil: it is available through an [[in-game trade]] in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and is one of [[Hayley's trades]].
*** The trade in [[Generation II]] was removed in {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, likely due to the fact that the [[Old Amber]] could be obtained and revived in these games, unlike in Generation II.
* Aerodactyl is the only [[Generation I]] {{type|Rock}} that doesn't have a 4× weakness to {{type|Grass}} moves.
* Aerodactyl is the fastest {{type|Rock}} Pokémon, with a base Speed of 130.
* Aerodactyl is one of the four non-Hoenn Dex Pokémon available in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]. The others are {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} and {{p|Totodile}}.
* Aerodactyl is the only {{type|Rock}} Pokémon in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|Purple|purple color group}}.
** This classification is atypical since non-Shiny Aerodactyl are predominantly {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|Gray|gray}}.

===Origin===
It appears to be based upon {{wp|pterosaur}}s, prehistoric flying reptiles, particularly the {{wp|rhamphorhynchoidea}} branch, due to Aerodactyl's possession of teeth and a long tail. It also seems to possess some {{wp|dragon}}-like characteristics, such as that of a {{wp|wyvern}}, a two legged variety of dragon, which would explain its being on Lance's team.

====Name origin====
Aerodactyl is a combination of ''aero'' ({{wp|Greek language|Greek}} for ''air'') and ''{{wp|pterodactyl}}''.

Ptera derives from ''{{wp|pterosaur}}''.

'''Kabuto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カブト''' ''Kabuto'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Water}} [[Fossil]] Pokémon.

It is resurrected from a [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Dome Fossil]] and evolves into {{p|Kabutops}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Kabuto is similar to a shellfish with a tan shell. There are two small black dots, which are a second pair of eyes, on the front of its shell. Kabuto uses these eyes when it hides deeper in its shell to protect itself from harm. Its black eyes sense what is going on outside of the shell while it is hiding. Underneath its shell is mostly black, with two red eyes, which glow in the dark, and {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with an insectoid body|four yellow-tan legs}}. Its shell turns into the Fossil that is used to resurrect it.

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

===Special abilities===
Kabuto and its evolved form, {{p|Kabutops}}, favor using physical moves; whereas the {{p|Omanyte}} line is more adept at special attacks. Kabuto also happens to be slightly faster than Omanyte, while having weaker physical defense. It supposedly also has oils in its shell which can grant immortality; in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], many of their Fossils revived in the light of a red moon.

===Behavior===
Much like a turtle or pill bug, if Kabuto is flipped over onto its back, it becomes defenseless as it cannot flip itself back over on its own. It mostly attacks using its claws, which can scratch or drain energy.

===Habitat===
[[File:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Although Kabuto are believed to be extinct, living samples have been found deep under the sea. Many are resurrected from [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Dome Fossils]], which can be found in [[Kanto]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Johto]] and even the faraway [[Unova]] region.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Unknown.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kabuto Island Kabuto.png|thumb|220px|Kabuto in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Kabuto was one of the Fossil Pokémon that attacked {{Ash}} and {{TRT}} until being scared off by an {{p|Aerodactyl}} in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''.

In ''[[EP089|Shell Shock!]]'', a "deranged old man" named [[Umberto]] was saying that an island full of Kabuto Fossils would sink once the moon casted a red glow. He was right, because the Fossils came to life and the island collapsed, since the Fossils kept the island together.

===Minor appearances===
[[Bill]] was trapped in a Kabuto costume at the beginning of ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]''.

A Kabuto appeared in a fantasy in ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]''.

A Kabuto appeared in a fantasy in ''[[AG102|Where's Armaldo?]]''.

A Kabuto appeared in the opening of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

A Mirage Kabuto appeared in a flashback in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

A Kabuto appeared in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]''.

In ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', a Kabuto, along with an {{p|Omanyte}} and {{p|Omastar}}, attacked {{TRT}} in the [[Canalave Gym]].

A Kabuto Fossil is seen in ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'' as an exhibit in the [[Nacrene City]] Museum.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Kabuto was originally known as "Att", which is derived from the word "{{wp|Atlantis}}".
* The Red and Blue sprites show that Kabuto has a smooth shell. In subsequent generations, it is shown with dimples in its shell.
* Kabuto and {{p|Kabutops}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Blastoise}}. They are all known as Shellfish Pokémon.
* Due to an error in {{v2|Yellow}}, Kabuto can learn every move Kabutops learns by [[TM]], with the only exception being {{m|Cut}}. Coincidentally, this matches Kabutops's TM move list in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}}. It cannot learn these moves by any other means in later games other than its evolutionary form.
** In the [[Generation III]] games, Kabuto can learn {{m|Aerial Ace}} from [[TM40]], but can't learn in later generations with the same TM.
* Kabuto is one of five Kanto Pokémon that had had its base experience yield changed in [[Generation III]]. The others are {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Omanyte}}.
* Kabuto and {{p|Kabutops}} learn {{m|Hydro Pump}} by level-up in [[Generation I]]. However, they are no longer able to learn this move by any means.
* Kabuto and its {{p|Kabutops|evolved form}} are the only non-{{type|Steel}} Pokémon able to learn [[Metal Sound]] via leveling up.

===Origin===
Kabuto's design consists of a mix of {{wp|trilobite}} and the still-living (but considered a living Fossil) {{wp|horseshoe crab}}.

===Name origin===
Kabuto is derived from 兜蟹 ''kabutogani'' ({{wp|horseshoe crab}}). 兜 ''{{wp|Kabuto}}'' is also the Japanese word for ''helmet'', specifically the traditional helmets {{wp|samurai}} wear.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Eevee}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Fire Stone}}. It is one of Eevee's [[Eeveelution|final forms]], the others being {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Out of the seven known [[Eeveelution]]s, Flareon bears the closest resemblance to Eevee (Its Shiny sprite looks even more like Eevee, just larger and with much more fur).
Flareon is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}} Pokémon, with three small toes on each foot. Its body is covered in reddish-orange fur. Flareon has a large, bushy tail, fluffy collar, and a tuft of fur on its head; all of which are yellow. The paw pads on its feet are also yellow. Flareon has large ears that resemble a rabbit's. Flareon has a very high internal body temperature, as it stores some of the air it breathes in its internal flame sac, which heats its body to over three thousand degrees. Its body contains various flame glands.

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

===Special abilities===
Flareon is capable of using physical attacks just as well as its special attacks due to its high {{stat|Attack}} stat. Flareon can use most of the moves that Eevee is capable of using, but it can also shoot powerful flames that have been known to reach a maximum of {{tt|3,100°F|1,700°C}}, as the air it inhales is ignited by a flame in its body and is expelled as fire. Due to the fact that Flareon is fully evolved, it can learn both {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Flareon fluffs out its fur collar to cool down its body temperature, which can reach {{tt|1,650°F|900°C}}.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Flareon are mainly found in hot places, but only rarely, as an Eevee needs to be exposed to a {{evostone|Fire Stone}} to evolve.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Unknown.

==In the manga==
[[File:Flareon PM.png|thumb|200px|A Flareon in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Red}} temporarily controlled a Flareon, which was actually his mutated [[Vee|Eevee]] switching between its evolved forms. Eventually, it ended up losing the ability after permanently evolving into an {{p|Espeon}}, which Red finds less a liability and more a relief from the pain that [[Team Rocket]]'s experiments caused it.

==Trivia==
* Flareon is the only fully-evolved {{type|Fire}} Pokémon that cannot learn {{m|SolarBeam}}.
* Flareon shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
* All of Flareon's Pokédex entries either state the temperature of its flame or its body heat.
* [[Glitch Trainer]]s often own an apparently non-[[glitch]]ed Flareon.

===Origin===
It is most likely based on {{wp|fox}}es, due to its body shape and orange coloration, but it also has traits of {{wp|feline}}s. The fluffy mane and tail resemble a {{wp|Pomeranian dog}}, as well as a {{wp|lion}}'s mane.

====Name origin====
Flareon is a combination of ''flare'' and ''eon'' (an immeasurably long period of time, possibly referring to how long evolution takes naturally). ''Eon'' is a suffix all {{p|Eevee}} [[evolution]]s share and was Eevee's English prototype name.

Booster is literally ''booster'', possibly referring to {{wp|rocket boosters}}, which propel things by combustion of fuel.

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=fire|type2=fire

'''Jolteon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サンダース''' ''Thunders'') is an {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Eevee}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}. It is one of Eevee's [[Eeveelution|final forms]], the others being {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Jolteon is a dog-like Pokémon with a very short tail, surrounded by a fringe of spikes on its rear. It has {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|four slender legs}}, each with a three-toed foot and a pink paw pad. It has large, pointed ears with black insides. Jolteon is covered in yellow fur, and has a white, spiky collar. It can make its fur sharp like needles; this is similar to {{p|Glaceon}}, which also has fur that can be made sharp. Jolteon has dark, fox-like, black eyes.

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

===Special abilities===
Jolteon can use the same attacks that Eevee can use, with the addition of the ability to wield {{t|electric}}al attacks, as well as {{m|Double Kick}} and {{m|Pin Missile}}. In order to gather power for electric attacks, it accumulates negative ions in the atmosphere, charges power when its mood changes, or amplifies the weak electric charge of its cells with the static electricity of its electrically-charged needle fur. As a fully evolved Pokémon, Jolteon can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Jolteon are sensitive Pokémon and easily become sad or angry. Every time its mood changes, it charges power. If startled or angered, it can shoot out bristles that are sharp enough to pierce opponents. Every hair on its body starts to stand sharply on end if it becomes charged with electricity, and the negatively charged ions in its fur create a constant sparking noise. Its fur also stands on end if it is angry or startled.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Jolteon usually are found near power plants. Due to the need of a {{evostone|Thunderstone}} to evolve from {{p|Eevee}}, not many are found. However, because it's an [[Eeveelution]], it can adapt almost anywhere.

===Diet===

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
Jolteon first appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', under the ownership of {{DL|Eevee brothers|Sparky}}.

In ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', {{an|Ethan}} used a Jolteon as a "sheep dog" of sorts. Whenever any of Ethan's {{p|Magnemite}} tried to escape, Jolteon would use {{m|Thunder Wave}} to lure them back.

Jolteon was also seen under the ownership of one of the [[Kimono Girl|Kimono Sisters]] in ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'' and ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]''.

[[Volkner]] used a Jolteon in ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'' during his [[Gym]] battle with Ash. It was defeated by [[Ash's Infernape]].

===Minor appearances===
{{Ash}} {{pkmn|battle}}d against a {{DL|Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|Jolteon}} in the [[Pokémon League]] Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]''.

A Jolteon was among the Pokémon controlled by [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]''.

A Jolteon belonging to an unnamed Trainer, appeared in a Hall of Fame photograph in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]''.

Jolteon is one of the Electric-type Pokémon that was seen in the lake with crystal in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]''.

Multiple Jolteon appeared in the opening of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

Jolteon made a small cameo in the beginning of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' together with an {{p|Eevee}} and the other six [[Eeveelution]]s.

==In the manga==
[[File:Jolteon PM.png|thumb|200px|A Jolteon in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Red}} temporarily controlled a Jolteon, which was actually his mutated [[Vee|Eevee]] switching between its evolved forms. Eventually, it lost the ability to devolve after permanently becoming an {{p|Espeon}}, but Red felt more content now that it'd been freed from the pain that [[Team Rocket]]'s experiments had dealt.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
A Jolteon is seen with [[Kai Midorikawa]] during the curry cooking competition that went on in ''[[PM027|Curry Showdown! Which is the Most Delicious?]]''.

Giovanni sent out Jolteon when he was about to destroy Pallet Town with a missile.

==Trivia==
* Jolteon is the lightest [[Eeveelution]] and is tied with {{p|Glaceon}} as the shortest.
* Jolteon has the highest {{stat|Speed}} base stat of the Eeveelutions with a base speed of 130.
* Jolteon is the only Eeveelution without an obvious tail. However, in the [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, it is shown to have a stubby tail under its spikes. The tail is absent from its [[Generation V]] backsprite, however.
* Jolteon shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Electrike}}. They are both known as Lightning Pokémon.
* Jolteon is currently the only member of the Eevee evolutionary family that hasn't been owned by a main or recurring character in the anime. [[Ursula]] has both a {{p|Vaporeon}} and a {{p|Flareon}}, [[Sakura]] has an {{p|Espeon}}, both [[Gary Oak]] and [[Johanna]] have an {{p|Umbreon}}, [[Zoey]] has a {{p|Leafeon}} and {{an|May}} has a {{p|Glaceon}}. May, Ursula, Sakura, and Gary have also been shown to have owned an Eevee.

===Origin===
Its physical anatomy seems to be primarily based on a {{wp|Herding dog}} or possibly a {{wp|fennec fox}}, with several traits of {{wp|coyote}}s. It is also feline-like; its extremely high speed resembles that of a {{wp|cheetah}}'s. The ability to shoot its spiky fur may be based on {{wp|porcupine}}s. It may also be inspired by the {{wp|raiju}}, a beast from Japanese mythology whose body is made of thunder, and may take the form of a cat.

====Name origin====
Jolteon is a combination of ''jolt'' and ''eon'' (an immeasurably long period of time, possibly referring to how long evolution takes naturally). ''Eon'' is a suffix all {{p|Eevee}} [[evolution]]s share and was Eevee's English prototype name.

Thunders is literally ''thunders'' (present tense verb of ''to thunder'').

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=electric|type2=electric
|ja=サンダース ''Thunders''|jameaning=Literally from ''thunders'', as in singular form of the present tense verb of the verb ''thunder''
|fr=Voltali|frmeaning=From ''{{wp|volt}}''. Ends with ''-li'' like every [[Eeveelution]] in French.

|zh_yue=雷伊貝 ''Lèuihyībui''|zh_yuemeaning=Literally "Thunder Eevee". Ends with {{tt|-伊貝|Eevee}} like every [[Eeveelution]] in Cantonese.

'''Vaporeon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シャワーズ''' ''Showers'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Eevee}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}. It is one of Eevee's [[Eeveelution|final forms]], the others being {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Vaporeon is a composite creature sharing physical traits of fish, dolphins, cats, dogs, and possibly other animals. It is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}} with three small toes on each foot. Vaporeon's body is light blue and it has a white ruff around its neck just behind its head. Vaporeon has cream-colored ears made of webbing and has a fin on its head resembling its ears. Vaporeon has a pointed pattern of dark blue on its head that encompasses the backs of its ears and head-fin. It also has blue ridges that run down the length of its spine and on to its tail-fin, and the paw pads on its hind feet are dark blue like the ridges. Vaporeon's finned tail is said to look similar to that of a mermaid's. Vaporeon's molecular structure is close to water, so its body glitters when sunlight hits at certain angles.

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

===Special abilities===
Vaporeon are highly adapted to aquatic life. Unlike its pre-evolution, it has the ability to breathe underwater. As stated previously, they have a unique molecular structure. They have the ability to "{{m|Acid Armor|melt}}" into a body of water and disappear completely from view. They can also manipulate water molecules, giving them the ability to learn {{type|Water}} attacks their previous evolution could not.
Vaporeon also have the ability to walk on water. Vaporeon can also glide in the air for moments because of its fins.

Like most Water types, Vaporeon can also learn {{type|Ice}} moves, like {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.

Because it is a fully evolved Pokémon, Vaporeon can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Vaporeon are very difficult to observe in the wild, as they are quite rare. When they are in the water, they are virtually impossible to see. While they are much easier to see while they are resting onshore, they possess the {{m|Acid Armor|ability}} to rearrange themselves on a molecular level, causing themselves to "melt" into the water. It is likely that many mermaid stories were spawned by Vaporeon sightings, as their tails resemble those of mermaids. When Vaporeon's fins begin to vibrate, it is said to be a sign that rain will come within a few hours.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Vaporeon are always found close to water, and prefer large, clean lakes. It is found in the same regions that Eevee can be found in.

===Diet===

==Trivia==
* Vaporeon is the largest [[Eeveelution]]: It is the heaviest of its evolutionary family, and is tied with both {{p|Umbreon}} and {{p|Leafeon}} for tallest.
* Vaporeon has the highest {{stat|HP}} base stat of the Eeveelutions. Because of this, Vaporeon has the highest max base stat of all the Eeveelutions. (While the others have 394, Vaporeon has 464.)
* Vaporeon is the only {{type|Water}} that appears in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Pal Park location|Field|field section}} of [[Pal Park]].
* In [[Generation I]], Vaporeon had a notably different design with the backs of its ears being all black, fins on each leg, and a fin running down the entire length of its back. All of these details were removed in [[Generation II]]. Notably, these details weren't present in its original R/G artwork.
* Vaporeon is the only Eeveelution that does not share any weakness with another.

===Origin===
Vaporeon's origins are uncertain, though it could be based on a cross between {{wp|cetacea}}ns, {{wp|Felidae|felines}}, and {{wp|canid}}s. Its feline and fish characteristics may mean that Vaporeon may be a visual pun on {{wp|catfish}}. The fins and dorsal lining may be based off different types of {{wp|tropical fish}}. Its ears resemble a mix between a fish's fin and a {{wp|fennec fox}}'s or caracal's ears. It also shares characteristics with {{wp|mermaid}}s. Vaporeon may also be inspired by the {{wp|Telchines}} of Greek mythology, or the {{wp|Merlion}}, a national symbol of {{wp|Singapore}}. Vaporeon's resemblance to both carnivorans and cetaceans could be based on {{wp|Evolution of cetaceans|primitive whales}}, such as {{wp|Kutchicetus}}.

====Name origin====
Vaporeon is a combination of ''vapor'' (a gaseous form of water) and ''eon'' (an immeasurably long period of time, possibly referring to how long evolution takes naturally). ''Eon'' is a suffix all {{p|Eevee}} [[evolution]]s share and was Eevee's English prototype name.

Showers is literally ''showers'', as in rain showers.

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=water|type2=water

'''Eevee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イーブイ''' ''Eievui'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into one of [[Eeveelution|seven different Pokémon]] through various methods:
*{{p|Vaporeon}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.
*{{p|Jolteon}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}.
*{{p|Flareon}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Fire Stone}}.
*{{p|Espeon}} when leveled up with high [[friendship]] during the [[time|daytime]], including [[time|morning]] ([[Generation II]] onward, excludes areas with a [[Moss Rock|Moss]] or [[Ice Rock]]).
*{{p|Umbreon}} when leveled up with high [[friendship]] during the [[time|nighttime]] ([[Generation II]] onward, excludes areas with a [[Moss Rock|Moss]] or [[Ice Rock]]).
*{{p|Leafeon}} when leveled up near a [[Moss Rock]] ([[Generation IV]] onward).
*{{p|Glaceon}} when leveled up near an [[Ice Rock]] ([[Generation IV]] onward).

Eevee is the [[starter Pokémon]] for the main character of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Conquest]]. It is also the starter Pokémon for the [[rival]] in {{game|Yellow}}, although [[Professor Oak]] originally intended to give it to the {{player}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Eevee is a mammalian creature with brown fur, a bushy tail that has a cream-colored tip, and a large furry collar that is also cream-colored. It has {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|four short, feline-like legs}} with three small toes on each foot. Eevee has brown eyes, long pointed ears, and pink paw pads. It has traits of {{wp|rabbit}}s, {{wp|Miacid}}s, {{wp|fox}}es, {{wp|dog}}s, and {{wp|cat}}s.

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

===Special abilities===
Most of Eevee's offensive moves are {{type|Normal}} attacks such as {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}, but it can also {{m|bite}} its opponents and use {{m|Shadow Ball}}. However, it is unique in that it is unable to learn most other elemental attacks that other Normal-types can utilize, at least not in its current state. Eevee can also learn supportive moves such as {{m|Helping Hand}} and {{m|Wish}}. Eevee is one of few Pokémon that can learn {{m|Trump Card}}. Eevee is said to have an irregularly shaped genetic structure, enabling it to evolve into multiple Pokémon.

===Behavior===
Eevee's behavior can be affected by its surroundings. Eventually, with enough alteration, the Eevee may evolve to better suit its surroundings. According to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], Eevee has a naive personality, meaning childlike, playful, and friendly. In the anime, Eevee don't appear to have any characteristic quirks, but are usually affectionate, loyal, and energetic Pokémon.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Eevee are quite rare in the wild. They sometimes live near cities and towns. It is possible for Eevee to live almost anywhere, and they may evolve to suit their surroundings. It was first documented in [[Kanto]], but has been seen in [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Unknown.

==In the anime==
[[File:May Eevee.png|250px|thumb|Eevee in the anime]]
[[File:May Eevee Egg.png|thumb|220px|right|Eevee {{pkmn|Egg}} in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[May's Glaceon|May's Eevee]]====
{{an|May}} received an {{pkmn|Egg}} from a Daycare Worker in ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]''. The Egg hatched into an Eevee in ''[[AG157|Time-Warp Heals All Wounds]]'', and evolved into {{p|Glaceon}} before May met back up with the group in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.

====[[Gary's Umbreon|Gary's Eevee]]====
Gary's Eevee debuted in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', defeating [[Ash's Pikachu]]. It evolved into an {{p|Umbreon}} some time before ''[[EP171|Power Play]]''.

====[[Sakura's Espeon|Sakura's Eevee]]====
[[Sakura]] had an {{TP|Sakura|Eevee}} in ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]''. By the time {{Ash}} and co. met up with Sakura again in ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]'', her Eevee had evolved into an {{p|Espeon}}.

====Other====
Eevee first appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]''. A little boy named Mikey was hiding the Evolution Pokémon from his three older [[Eevee brothers|brothers]] because they wanted him to evolve it. However, when Mikey's Eevee single-handedly defeated {{TRT}}, Sparky, Rainer, and Pyro were able to accept the fact that Mikey wanted to keep his Eevee just the way it is.

An Eevee appeared in ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''.

Two Eevee appeared in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'', under the ownership of [[Ursula]]. Both of them evolved during her performance, into a Vaporeon and a Flareon.

===Minor appearances===
Eevee appeared in a picture in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]''.

An Eevee made a brief appearance in ''[[EP150|Hour of the Houndour]]''.

In ''[[SS008|Oaknapped]]'', [[Ritchie]] consulted {{an|Professor Oak}} on advice on what evolved form is best for his Eevee. However this was only mentioned in the dub and it is unknown whether he owns an Eevee in the Japanese version.

Eevee also appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.

An Eevee was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

Multiple Eevee appeared in the opening of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

Eevee made a small cameo in the beginning of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' together with its seven [[Eeveelutions]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Mikey Eevee EToP.png|thumb|right|200px|Mikey's Eevee in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
Like in the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Mikey]] owns an Eevee in the [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga. Mikey and his Eevee appear in the chapter ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That is the Question!]]''.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
{{main|Coconut's Eevee}}
{{main|Lu}}
An Eevee is owned by [[Coconut]] in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. This Eevee is a smart Pokémon who is very loyal to Coconut.

Later in the series, another Eevee named [[Lu]] appears. Coconut's Eevee falls in love with Lu, who confesses her own love to Eevee before moving away.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Vee}}
An Eevee is seen as a Pokémon experimented on by [[Team Rocket]], in their tests to attempt merging {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} into [[Zapmolcuno|a single Pokémon]]. The experiments gave Eevee the characteristic of being able to mutate into three of its evolved forms, namely {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}} and revert, though it still requires the energies of an [[Evolutionary Stone]]. {{adv|Red}} eventually captures this Eevee as a prerequisite for challenging [[Erika]]. When it evolved into Espeon, however, it lost its mutation ability and became unable to revert to its base form.

Another Eevee was seen under the ownership of [[Karen]], during her childhood as one of the children captured by the [[Masked Man]]. It is presumed that this Eevee eventually evolves into her {{p|Umbreon}}, which she used to fight {{adv|Green}}.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
An Eevee is seen with Isamu during the curry cooking competition that went on in ''[[PM027|Curry Showdown! Which is the Most Delicious?]]''.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===

One Eevee figure has been released.

*{{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Eevee|10}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Eevee only appears as a random trophy.

====Trophy information====
''As adaptable a Pokémon as any yet discovered, Eevee's evolutionary progress changes to meet the conditions of its environment. So far, five evolutionary forms have been discovered and then catalogued for this unique Pokémon; Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, and Umbreon. All evolutions have special benefits.''

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Eevee was originally going to be called "Eon", the suffix of all the evolutions of Eevee. This in turn is a shortening of "evolution".
* The fanmade term to describe the evolutions of Eevee, [[Eeveelution]]s, was made official after its use in the strategy guide for [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], followed by {{TCG|Eeveelution|a TCG Theme Deck}}.
* In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, all of Eevee's evolutions up to the third generation can be captured; however, Eevee cannot even be found at all. This was changed in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]].
* Eevee's name is a {{wp|palindrome}}; it shares this distinction with {{p|Girafarig}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Alomomola}}.
* Eevee and {{p|Tyrogue}} are the only Pokémon that can [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|evolve into more than two Pokémon]], if {{p|Wormadam}}'s alternate forms are not counted as separate Pokémon.
** The Eevee evolutionary family also has the most evolutionary relatives out of any other Pokémon.
* Eevee is one of only three Pokémon with two non-Hidden Abilities that evolves into a Pokémon with only one non-Hidden Ability. The other two are {{p|Trapinch}} and {{p|Sneasel}}.
* Despite the fact that {{an|May}}, {{Gary}} and [[Sakura]] each owned an Eevee that went on to evolve, Eevee was never seen evolving on screen in the anime until ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'' when [[Ursula]] evolved her two Eevee into {{p|Flareon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}} during a Contest appeal, over thirteen years into the series.
* During [[Generation I]], Eevee was the only Pokémon that could evolve into more than one species. With the release of other branched evolutions in [[Generation II]], its distinction is the number of Pokémon which it can evolve into.
* Eevee is one of only two Pokémon to change its type completely upon evolution. The other is {{p|Azurill}}.
* Eevee and {{p|Feebas}} are the only Pokémon that can evolve into a single stage through multiple methods in the [[version|main series]]. Feebas can evolve into {{p|Milotic}} when leveled up with maximum [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] or when traded while holding the [[Prism Scale]]; Eevee can evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} when leveled up with maximum [[friendship]] during the day or night, respectively, or via [[Sun Shard]] or [[Moon Shard]], respectively.
** However, some Pokémon evolve through abnormal means in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series, including four of Eevee's evolutions.
* It is impossible for Eevee to evolve into Leafeon and Glaceon in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} since the region has neither an Ice nor a Moss Rock.
* Eevee is the only [[starter Pokémon]] of a main series game ({{v2|Yellow}}) to not be part of a three-stage evolutionary family.

===Origin===
Eevee shares traits with {{wp|fox}}es, more specifically the {{wp|Fennec fox}}, {{wp|dog}}s and {{wp|cat}}s. It is possibly based on the folklore of {{wp|Tanuki}}, who is said to be able to transform and is the alternative name for the {{wp|Japanese raccoon dog}}. It may also be based on {{wp|Miacoidea}}, an extinct {{wp|Paraphyly|paraphyletic}} {{wp|Superfamily (zoology)|superfamily}} that has been traditionally divided into two families of carnivores.

It may also be based on the concept of dog breeding and the multitude of variations that arose from it. It may also be based on the fox's ability to adapt to extreme environments, like the {{wp|Fennec Fox|desert fox}} and the {{wp|arctic fox}}.

====Name origin====
Eevee is a corruption of Eievui.

Eievui is the pronunciation of ''E-V'', the first two letters in the word [[evolution]].

'''Ditto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

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

Ditto uses the move {{m|Transform}} to copy the opponent's moves, types, form, and non-HP stats. It can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] with any Pokémon other than the Pokémon in the {{egg|Undiscovered}} group and itself, including male Pokémon and {{egg|Gender unknown|some genderless Pokémon}}, to produce Eggs of the other's species.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
In its natural state, Ditto is a light purple or magenta {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|free-form shape blob}} with vestigial facial features. It also appears to have two vestigial, handless 'arms' protruding from its body. However, it can take the form of anything, even inanimate objects.

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

===Special abilities===
[[File:Duplica Ditto Pikachu.png|200px|thumb|[[Duplica]]'s Ditto {{m|transform}}ed as a {{p|Pikachu}}]]
Ditto is capable of {{m|transform}}ing into an exact replica of any other Pokémon (an ability that is also shared with {{p|Mew}}), or indeed any physical object. However, if Ditto tries to transform into something based on memory, it may get some of the details wrong. Ditto will also be unable to remain in a transformed state if it starts laughing. Frequently, a Ditto appears that it can't transform its face. This fact is seen in the anime, as well as in [[Pokémon Snap]] (in which several Ditto are transformed into {{p|Bulbasaur}}), and {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} (in which, during the [[Veilstone Game Corner|Game Corner]] [[slot machine]] game, a {{p|Clefairy}} with a Ditto's face will occasionally appear instead of a real Clefairy). In rare cases it will lack the ability to increase or decrease in size, thus rather than creating exact duplicates, it will create (usually) miniature versions. Ditto cannot mimic the strength of another Pokémon. Ditto's ability to breed with any non-legendary Pokémon is also useful for creating Pokémon Eggs of rarer Pokémon that it may be difficult to get a mate for, such as the [[starter Pokémon]].

===Behavior===
Ditto's primary defense mechanism is its ability to rearrange its cellular structure. This permits it to transform into essentially any other physical object. When two Ditto meet in the wild, they will attempt to transform into each other. This tendency makes Ditto a unique Pokémon in battle, as it will adapt the form and abilities of its foe. Ditto is best able to transform into something if it has a model to work from. Although Ditto can transform via memory, it has a tendency to forget important details, particularly with its foe's face. Ditto will also transform into a rock when sleeping to avoid attack.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Ditto live in very diverse habitats, the most common being caves and forested areas. However, Ditto are never far from civilization or people. There have even been sightings of Ditto in places such as the Pokémon Mansion. They have been documented living in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]].

===Diet===

Unknown.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ditto_Number_1.png|right|200px|thumb|Ditto in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Duplica's Ditto]]====
Ditto first appeared in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''. [[Duplica]] and her {{TP|Duplica|Ditto}} used to perform for people, but the two hadn't had an audience since people saw that Ditto couldn't change its face. Ditto fixed that problem near the end of the episode, when captured by [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]].

====Other====
[[File:Ditto Number 2.png|thumb|230px|{{Shiny}} Ditto in the anime]]
In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] owns a Ditto and uses it to fight [[Ash's Pikachu]]. After the battle with Drake's Ditto, Pikachu came out the victor. It reappeared in a flashback in [[EP112|the following episode]].

Duplica found another Ditto sometime before ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'' that she named Mini-Dit. This second Ditto could transform into an exact mirror image of anything, but it couldn't change its size.

Two Ditto appear in ''[[DP173|Dealing With A Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', belonging to [[Narissa]]. One of them is normal and the other is {{shiny}}.

===Minor appearances===
There is a picture of Ditto on the "Coffee & Tea" sign at one of the last parts in the episode in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''.

A Ditto was part of an exhibition in ''[[EP122|Flower Power]]''.

A Ditto belonging to the Nursing School, appeared in a flashback in ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]''.

A Ditto was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

Ditto was also owned by a member of [[Team Magma]] named [[Brodie]], who debuted in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]''.

A Ditto appeared in the opening of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Duplica Ditto EToP.png|thumb|[[Duplica]]'s Ditto as seen in the [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[Duplica]] and her Ditto are seen in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Finding Ditto appealing, [[Misty]] decides to capture one of her own, but the plan is called off when {{p|Pikachu}} goes missing. Ditto also featured in a minicomic in which it transforms into [[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]], harasses Misty and thereby getting Ash into a lot of pain.

Ditto was the first Pokémon [[Drake]] used against Ash in ''[[ET17|The Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader]]''.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
{{main|Master Ditto}}
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], there is a ninja master named Master Ditto who appears several times in the manga. His first appearance is in ''[[PPP13|The Wal Comes Tumbling Down]]''.

Additionally, a group of Ditto appear in the [[PPPB04|fourth bonus chapter]] of the manga. The Ditto use {{m|Transform}} to mimic {{MPJ|Pikachu}} and cause mischief.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Ditty.png|thumb|left|150px|{{adv|Green}}'s Ditto, [[Ditty]]]]
{{main|Ditty}}
Ditto is one of the members on {{adv|Green}}'s team. As a master of transformation, Green uses Ditto extensively in her schemes, such as morphing over her face to disguise her appearance (like when she infiltrated the [[Silph Co.]] building disguised as [[Sabrina]]), camouflaging into its background for subterfuge, as well as forming a protective shield with Green's umbrella.

Ditto is seen later used by [[Team Rocket]], to lure {{adv|Crystal}} and [[Eusine]] away from {{p|Suicune}}, and smother them when discovered. It was, however, defeated by Crystal's {{p|Hitmonchan}}, Hitmonee.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
Ditto is also featured in [[Pokémon Zensho]] under the ownership of {{Zensho|Satoshi}}.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[Kai Midorikawa]]'s Ditto debuted in ''[[PM002|The Big Battle In The Viridian Forest!!]]''.

===In the Pokémon Get da ze! manga===
Shū has a Ditto in the [[Pokémon Get da ze!]] manga.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|The Golden Boys]], [[Whitney]] owns a Ditto.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[File:Ditto Melee.png|right|thumb|A screenshot of Ditto in Melee]]
Ditto was originally intended to be one of the Pokémon randomly released from a [[Poké Ball]]. It would have transformed into a copy of the user's character and aided them in battle. However, processing problems forced its removal before the game's release. Ditto can be still be unlocked through the debug menu (which is only accessible through the use of Action Replay), though it does not do anything other than give 7-8% damage to those who touch it.

As for its official status, Ditto only appears as a random trophy and as a cameo in the Tournament Mode menu. In Winner Out or Loser Out tournaments, holding down L and R and pressing A will give the player a random character and color. The usual character image will instead be taken by a picture of Ditto.

====Trophy information====
''Every Ditto has the ability to copy a Pokémon's entire cell structure in an instant and become its exact replica. They're terrible at remembering techniques, but when they use {{m|Transform}}, they temporarily learn all of their foe's moves. If a Ditto starts to laugh, it weakens and can't hold its transformation.''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
[[File:132Ditto Ranger3.png|thumb|200px|Ditto in Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]
* {{g|Pinball}}: Ditto appears on the Red Table blocking the [[evolution]] cave, once the evolution arrows are lit, it moves out of the way, allowing the player to evolve one of the Pokémon they have captured.
* {{g|Trozei!}}: Ditto serves as a "wild card", meaning it can Trozei with any Pokémon and must be used to get rid of Jammer Balls. One will appear when a Trozei is made with more Pokémon than necessary and multiple appear at the beginning of a new round in Endless and Forever mode to clear out the remaining Pokémon.
* {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}: A Ditto under the ownership of [[Kasa]] appears as a boss at the [[Sky Fortress]]. It will {{m|transform}} into {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Suicune}} to attack.

==Trivia==
* Ditto is one of the few [[Generation I]] Pokémon that, as of [[Generation V]], still have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Lapras}}, and {{p|Aerodactyl}}.
* Ditto is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 35. However, prior to Generation V, if Ditto transforms into another Pokémon, its catch rate will become that of the new Pokémon.
* Ditto and {{p|Manaphy}} are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed yet unobtainable through breeding. Ditto, however, is the only one of the two that is not available at level 1 legally (legitimately the lowest level it is able to be is 10, in [[Generation II]] and its [[Generation IV]] [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]]).
* In [[Pokémon Snap]], Ditto takes the form of {{p|Bulbasaur}} in the [[Pokémon Island Cave|Cave stage]]. The player can cause them to return to their Ditto form by hitting them with an object. When the player takes their picture, Ditto has the same eyes when it is transformed as when it is not. This trait is shared by [[Duplica]]'s Ditto in the [[EP037|anime]], although it was understood that this was not natural. [[Ditto (TCG)|Ditto cards]] from the [[EX Delta Species]] {{Trading Card Game}} expansion also have this trait.
* Ditto is one of two Pokémon to have two different species-specific items associated with it, the other being {{p|Clamperl}}. Ditto's two associated items, the Metal Powder and Quick Powder, seem to be the same colors as Ditto's normal and {{Shiny}} forms, respectively.
* Ditto, along with {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Giratina}}'s [[Form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]], {{p|Sunkern}}, and {{p|Mew}} is one of the few {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who can have a 5 in all of its [[performance]] stats.
* In [[Pokémon Rumble]], since {{m|Transform}} was not programmed into the game, Ditto can only know {{m|Struggle}}. Since PP does not exist in Rumble, this makes Ditto the only Pokémon in Rumble that can use Struggle. However, Transform does exist in [[Pokémon Rumble Blast]], so Ditto has a move.
* Ditto is the most common Pokémon in [[Pokémon Trozei!]], appearing in every area. This is due to its ability to transform, enabling the player a way to advance further if no links are available before Ditto appear.
* Ditto shares the move {{m|Transform}} with {{p|Mew}}, along with also sharing the same {{Shiny}} coloration, as well as having the same weight.
* In Weird Al Yankovic's [[Polkamon]], Ditto is mentioned twice.
* It has the smallest movepool of all Pokémon, learning only one move, {{m|Transform}}, and being unable to learn any other moves through [[TM]]s, [[HM]]s, and [[Pokémon breeding]] (as it cannot be bred). It shares this distinction with {{p|Unown}} and {{p|Smeargle}}; however unlike Unown, Ditto and Smeargle can potentially expand their movepools through the use of {{m|Transform}} and {{m|Sketch}} respectively.
** Due to this small movepool, Ditto cannot compete in Super Contests unless it has been affected by the [[Rage glitch]].
* In the games, Ditto and {{p|Poliwag}} have the same cry.

===Glitches===
====Index 000 post-capture====
In [[Generation I]], if the player manages to capture an [['M]], it will still be in battle with the player, and the battle will not end. Catching 'M again results in the second one becoming a Ditto of the same level.

====Ditto glitch====
{{main|Mew glitch#Ditto glitch|Mew glitch}}
The primary method of the Mew glitch involves having a wild Ditto transform into the player's Pokémon, as this copies the {{stat|Special}} stat, which is used to modify the species of Pokémon encountered.

====Transform assumption glitch====
In Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, any Pokémon that uses {{m|Transform}} is regarded as a Ditto in its new form; this means that if the player catches a {{p|Mew}} or a [[glitch Pokémon]] which has used the move Transform, or a Pokémon which has used Transform via {{m|Mirror Move}}, instead they will obtain a Ditto. Mew turning into Ditto was not an issue, because wild Mew could not have been legitimately encountered. This system was later changed in Generation III, where wild Mew could be encountered.

====Shiny Ditto glitch====
{{main|List of glitches in Generation II#Shiny Ditto glitch|List of glitches in Generation II}}
By trading any [[Shiny Pokémon]] to a Generation I game, having a wild Ditto transform into that Pokémon, then catching and trading the Ditto into a Generation II game, the Ditto will be Shiny.

====Transform-specific glitches====

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|Unused Pokémon design revealed in magazine interview}}
In the sixth issue of {{wp|Best Buy}}'s @Gamer magazine, Game Freak developers Junichi Masuda and Ken Sugimori revealed that Ditto was originally based off of the iconic {{wp|smiley}} face. Its eyes and mouth are exactly like ":)", which is an emoticon representing the smiley.

Additionally, Ditto strongly resembles an {{wp|amoeba}}, a single-celled organism with no definite shape. This may emphasize its ability to alter its cellular composition. This could also explain why Ditto is unavailable through breeding, since single-celled organisms reproduce differently from multi-cellular plants and animals. It also could partially be based on an {{wp|undifferentiated cell}}, a cell in the body that can change into any other cell by sampling it. It could also have been based on a {{wp|blob}} or a rubber ball.

====Name origin====
Ditto is literally ''ditto'', a substitute for repeating what was previously written or said. It was also a common name for copies of master documents created by mimeograph machines, as well as English slang meaning "the same" (in agreement or to copy someone's order).

Metamon is a combination of ''{{wp|metamorph}}'', ''monster'', and possibly ''transformation''. Alternatively, ''Meta'' as a prefix means "to encompass all," which Ditto's {{m|Transform}} move does do to Pokémon.

'''Lapras''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラプラス''' ''Laplace'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lapras is a large sea creature that resembles a {{wp|plesiosaur}}. It has {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with fins|four flippers}}, however its front ones are notably larger than its hind flippers. It has a long neck, and large black eyes. Lapras has curled ear-like appendages, and a short horn in the middle of its forehead. The majority of its body is blue, while its underside is a light cream color. Its most distinguishing feature is the heavy shell on its back, which is largely dotted with blunt knobs.

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

===Special abilities===
Lapras is most known for its fondness of {{m|Surf|moving people and Pokémon across bodies of water}}.
Lapras also possess the ability to {{m|sing}}, putting Pokémon and people to sleep.

===Behavior===
Lapras are social Pokémon, and they swim through the sea in large pods. They keep track of their fellow pod members through use of high-pitched songs they constantly sing, much like whales. Unfortunately they are very docile and do not like to fight, which has made them an easy target for hunters. They are currently very rare in the wild. Their songs have become very sorrowful in recent times as it has become harder and harder for these peaceful Pokémon to find others of their kind. They are highly intelligent.

===Habitat===
[[File:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Lapras are native to the cold waters of glacial regions. They are extremely rare due to hunting, and are nearly extinct. They still exist in secluded spots in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Unknown.

==In the anime==
[[File:Solidad Lapras.png|right|thumb|250px|Lapras in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Lapras]]====
In ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', Ash and {{Ashfr}} saved a baby Lapras from a trio of thugs, and then again from {{TRT}}. Ash captured this Lapras and mostly used it as transportation between the islands of the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Lapras also took part in Ash's [[Gym]] battle with [[Danny]] from [[Navel Island]] to get his second [[Orange League]] [[Gym]] [[Badge]], the {{badge|Sea Ruby}}, in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''. It was returned to its family in ''[[EP113|Viva Las Lapras]]''. Ash's Lapras made a return appearance in ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]''.

====Other====
Lapras first appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''. This one helped {{Ash}} and his friends reunite a {{p|Jynx}} with [[Santa Claus]]. This Lapras was able to [[talking Pokémon|talk]] via telepathy.

[[Solidad]] also owns a Lapras, which debuted in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]].

Lapras appeared in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]'', taking [[Team Poképals]] across the Sea of Time.

===Minor appearances===
A Lapras appeared in a fantasy in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]''.

Multiple Lapras also appeared in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''.

A Lapras appeared in ''[[EP216|Dueling Heroes]]''.

A Lapras parent along with its child appeared in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

[[Pryce]] of Mahogany Town owns multiple Lapras in ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce Baby]]''.

In ''[[SS015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'', multiple Lapras appear when {{an|Crystal}} whistles.

In ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team]]'', [[Angie]] used a Lapras in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|Holiday Hi-Jynx|Lapras|Ash's Pokédex|Lapras. This intellectual advanced Pokémon is able to [[Talking Pokémon|understand human speech]]. With its mild temperament, Lapras prefers to carry humans on its back, rather than engage in [[Pokémon battle]]s.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Kanto}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Pryce Lapras Family Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Lapras as seen in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{spoilers}}
The most notable role of Lapras in [[Pokémon Adventures]] was being one of the Pokémon of [[Pryce]]. In his youth, Pryce lost two of his favorite Lapras, La Pris and La Prus, in an avalanche just as the {{pkmn|Egg}} borne by them hatched. Unable to get over his loss, Pryce swore to save his Lapras and thus began researching into time travel, setting the events of the [[Johto]] saga in motion. Eventually, Pryce was able to capture {{p|Celebi}} and enter time, only to lose Celebi as the [[Poké Ball]] containing it was shattered, causing him to be unable to override time any further. However, the baby Lapras, La Glace, was able to enter the time in which Pryce's Lapras were separated, and the family enjoyed a happy reunion while Pryce was eventually lost in time.{{endspoilers}}

Years prior, in the {{chap|Yellow}}, {{adv|Blue}} is seen capturing a wild Lapras and giving it to a kid in a flashback that dates to around the same time as {{adv|Red}}'s first fight with {{adv|Giovanni}}.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Lapras EToP.png|thumb|150px|[[Ash's Lapras]] in the [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
{{main|Ash's Lapras}}
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ash saves a Lapras from a swarm of {{p|Krabby}} tormenting it. Like in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Ash used this Lapras as a mode of transportation through the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. It is not known in this version if he releases it. Misty also uses one as a mode of transportation.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
{{Zensho|Satoshi}} has a Lapras which originally belonged to Sabrina and was given to him after trying to defeat Giovanni.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky|Explorers of Sky]]: Lapras is the Pokémon that ferries Pokémon to the [[Hidden Land]]. When {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} explored the [[Brine Cave]] and found the strange marking on the wall there, Lapras asked Wigglytuff not to investigate it further to keep the Hidden Land a secret. When the player and partner had to get to the Hidden Land to save the world, Lapras responded to the presence of the [[Relic Fragment]] that matched the pattern on the wall, shooting a beam into the sea, summoning Lapras. Lapras ferries the player, the partner, and Grovyle to the Hidden Land, along the way telling the story of what happened when Wigglytuff and {{mdc|Chatot|2}} came to Brine Cave. Later, after the player defeats Dialga at Temporal Tower, Lapras will be waiting at the beach and can ferry the player and the partner back to the Hidden Land again. There is no limit to how many times Lapras can do this.

==Trivia==
[[File:131Lapras RG.png|thumb|right|150px|Lapras shown with teeth in its Generation I artwork.]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Lapras was originally going to be called "Ness" which is derived from the {{wp|Loch Ness monster}}.
* Due to their similar appearance, {{p|Shellos}} was initially thought to be a [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolution]] of Lapras. This was eventually proven to be {{p|Gastrodon|false}}.
* Lapras can learn three of the four [[one-hit knockout move]]s. The only one it cannot learn is {{m|Guillotine}}.
* Lapras is one of the few [[Generation I]] non-legendary Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Ditto}}.
* Excluding all [[legendary Pokémon]], Lapras has the highest base stat total of a non-evolved Pokémon (with a grand total of 535 stat points). However, Lapras used to come second, as {{p|Snorlax}} used to hold this trait - having 5 more stat points than Lapras - until [[Generation IV]], when {{p|Munchlax}} was introduced.
* Lapras was depicted with teeth in its [[Generation I]] official artwork and in Pokémon Adventures.
* Lapras is tied with {{p|Vanilluxe}} for having the highest base stat total of all non-legendary {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.
** It also has the highest base HP of all Ice-types.
* Although Lapras was able to learn {{m|SolarBeam}} via [[TM]] in [[Generation I]], it was not able to learn the move in any other generations.
* Lapras is one of two Pokémon to use telepathy in a regular episode of the anime. The other is {{p|Ralts}}.
* Along with Pikachu, Lapras is one of [[Veronica Taylor]]'s favorite Pokémon.

===Origin===
This {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is based on the fabled {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}} in {{wp|Scotland}}, also known as Nessie. The creature and this Pokémon are said to resemble the marine reptile known as the {{wp|plesiosaurus}}. However, while Lapras has a long neck, it is not nearly as long as the plesiosaurus's neck, whereas the body is very similar to the creature that is said to be in Loch Ness. Lapras's intelligence, singing and rarity can be comparable with some {{wp|cetacean}}s. It is also possible that its long neck and head (as well as its whole body) take some inspiration from the mast heads and hulls of {{wp|Viking}} ships.

====Name origin====
Lapras is a corruption of Laplace.

Laplace may be a reference to {{wp|Pierre-Simon Laplace}}, a mathematician who wrote several books on the mathematical properties of the sea and tides, or derive from ''la place'' (French for ''seat''), referring to how passengers sit on its back like a seat to be ferried across bodies of water. It may also derived from {{wp|Lapis|lapis lazuli}}, a bright blue gem.

'''Lapras''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラプラス''' ''Laplace'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lapras is a large sea creature that resembles a {{wp|plesiosaur}}. It has {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with fins|four flippers}}, however its front ones are notably larger than its hind flippers. It has a long neck, and large black eyes. Lapras has curled ear-like appendages, and a short horn in the middle of its forehead. The majority of its body is blue, while its underside is a light cream color. Its most distinguishing feature is the heavy shell on its back, which is largely dotted with blunt knobs.

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

===Special abilities===
Lapras is most known for its fondness of {{m|Surf|moving people and Pokémon across bodies of water}}.

Lapras also possess the ability to {{m|sing}}, putting Pokémon and people to sleep.

===Behavior===
Lapras are social Pokémon, and they swim through the sea in large pods. They keep track of their fellow pod members through use of high-pitched songs they constantly sing, much like whales. Unfortunately they are very docile and do not like to fight, which has made them an easy target for hunters. They are currently very rare in the wild. Their songs have become very sorrowful in recent times as it has become harder and harder for these peaceful Pokémon to find others of their kind. They are highly intelligent.

===Habitat===
They are extremely rare due to hunting, and are nearly extinct. They still exist in secluded spots in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Unknown.

==In the anime==
[[File:Solidad Lapras.png|right|thumb|250px|Lapras in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Lapras]]====
In ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', Ash and {{Ashfr}} saved a baby Lapras from a trio of thugs, and then again from {{TRT}}. Ash captured this Lapras and mostly used it as transportation between the islands of the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Lapras also took part in Ash's [[Gym]] battle with [[Danny]] from [[Navel Island]] to get his second [[Orange League]] [[Gym]] [[Badge]], the {{badge|Sea Ruby}}, in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''. It was returned to its family in ''[[EP113|Viva Las Lapras]]''. Ash's Lapras made a return appearance in ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]''.

====Other====
Lapras first appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''. This one helped {{Ash}} and his friends reunite a {{p|Jynx}} with [[Santa Claus]]. This Lapras was able to [[talking Pokémon|talk]] via telepathy.

[[Solidad]] also owns a Lapras, which debuted in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]].

Lapras appeared in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]'', taking [[Team Poképals]] across the Sea of Time.

===Minor appearances===
A Lapras appeared in a fantasy in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]''.

Multiple Lapras also appeared in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''.

A Lapras appeared in ''[[EP216|Dueling Heroes]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|Holiday Hi-Jynx|Lapras|Ash's Pokédex|Lapras. This intellectual advanced Pokémon is able to [[Talking Pokémon|understand human speech]]. With its mild temperament, Lapras prefers to carry humans on its back, rather than engage in [[Pokémon battle]]s.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Kanto}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Pryce Lapras Family Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Lapras as seen in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{spoilers}}
The most notable role of Lapras in [[Pokémon Adventures]] was being one of the Pokémon of [[Pryce]]. In his youth, Pryce lost two of his favorite Lapras, La Pris and La Prus, in an avalanche just as the {{pkmn|Egg}} borne by them hatched. Unable to get over his loss, Pryce swore to save his Lapras and thus began researching into time travel, setting the events of the [[Johto]] saga in motion. Eventually, Pryce was able to capture {{p|Celebi}} and enter time, only to lose Celebi as the [[Poké Ball]] containing it was shattered, causing him to be unable to override time any further. However, the baby Lapras, La Glace, was able to enter the time in which Pryce's Lapras were separated, and the family enjoyed a happy reunion while Pryce was eventually lost in time.{{endspoilers}}

Years prior, in the {{chap|Yellow}}, {{adv|Blue}} is seen capturing a wild Lapras and giving it to a kid in a flashback that dates to around the same time as {{adv|Red}}'s first fight with {{adv|Giovanni}}.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Lapras EToP.png|thumb|150px|[[Ash's Lapras]] in the [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
{{main|Ash's Lapras}}
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ash saves a Lapras from a swarm of {{p|Krabby}} tormenting it. Like in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Ash used this Lapras as a mode of transportation through the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. It is not known in this version if he releases it. Misty also uses one as a mode of transportation.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
{{Zensho|Satoshi}} has a Lapras which originally belonged to Sabrina and was given to him after trying to defeat Giovanni.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky|Explorers of Sky]]: Lapras is the Pokémon that ferries Pokémon to the [[Hidden Land]]. When {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} explored the [[Brine Cave]] and found the strange marking on the wall there, Lapras asked Wigglytuff not to investigate it further to keep the Hidden Land a secret. When the player and partner had to get to the Hidden Land to save the world, Lapras responded to the presence of the [[Relic Fragment]] that matched the pattern on the wall, shooting a beam into the sea, summoning Lapras. Lapras ferries the player, the partner, and Grovyle to the Hidden Land, along the way telling the story of what happened when Wigglytuff and {{mdc|Chatot|2}} came to Brine Cave. Later, after the player defeats Dialga at Temporal Tower, Lapras will be waiting at the beach and can ferry the player and the partner back to the Hidden Land again. There is no limit to how many times Lapras can do this.

==Trivia==
[[File:131Lapras RG.png|thumb|right|150px|Lapras shown with teeth in its Generation I artwork.]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Lapras was originally going to be called "Ness" which is derived from the {{wp|Loch Ness monster}}.
* Due to their similar appearance, {{p|Shellos}} was initially thought to be a [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolution]] of Lapras. This was eventually proven to be {{p|Gastrodon|false}}.
* Lapras can learn three of the four [[one-hit knockout move]]s. The only one it cannot learn is {{m|Guillotine}}.
* Lapras is one of the few [[Generation I]] non-legendary Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Ditto}}.
* Excluding all [[legendary Pokémon]], Lapras has the highest base stat total of a non-evolved Pokémon (with a grand total of 535 stat points). However, Lapras used to come second, as {{p|Snorlax}} used to hold this trait - having 5 more stat points than Lapras - until [[Generation IV]], when {{p|Munchlax}} was introduced.
* Lapras was depicted with teeth in its [[Generation I]] official artwork and in Pokémon Adventures.
* Lapras is tied with {{p|Vanilluxe}} for having the highest base stat total of all non-legendary {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.
** It also has the highest base HP of all Ice-types.
* Although Lapras was able to learn {{m|SolarBeam}} via [[TM]] in [[Generation I]], it was not able to learn the move in any other generations.
* Lapras is one of two Pokémon to use telepathy in a regular episode of the anime. The other is {{p|Ralts}}.
* Along with Pikachu, Lapras is one of [[Veronica Taylor]]'s favorite Pokémon.

===Origin===
This {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is based on the fabled {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}} in {{wp|Scotland}}, also known as Nessie. The creature and this Pokémon are said to resemble the marine reptile known as the {{wp|plesiosaurus}}. However, while Lapras has a long neck, it is not nearly as long as the plesiosaurus's neck, whereas the body is very similar to the creature that is said to be in Loch Ness. Lapras's intelligence, singing and rarity can be comparable with some {{wp|cetacean}}s. It is also possible that its long neck and head (as well as its whole body) take some inspiration from the mast heads and hulls of {{wp|Viking}} ships.

====Name origin====
Lapras is a corruption of Laplace.

Laplace may be a reference to {{wp|Pierre-Simon Laplace}}, a mathematician who wrote several books on the mathematical properties of the sea and tides, or derive from ''la place'' (French for ''seat''), referring to how passengers sit on its back like a seat to be ferried across bodies of water. It may also derived from {{wp|Lapis|lapis lazuli}}, a bright blue gem.

'''Lapras''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラプラス''' ''Laplace'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Lapras aging.png|thumb|250px|The aging process of Lapras, from child to adult]]
Lapras is a large sea creature that resembles a {{wp|plesiosaur}}. It has {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with fins|four flippers}}, however its front ones are notably larger than its hind flippers. It has a long neck, and large black eyes. Lapras has curled ear-like appendages, and a short horn in the middle of its forehead. The majority of its body is blue, while its underside is a light cream color. Its most distinguishing feature is the heavy shell on its back, which is largely dotted with blunt knobs.

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

===Special abilities===
Lapras is most known for its fondness of {{m|Surf|moving people and Pokémon across bodies of water}}.

Lapras also possess the ability to {{m|sing}}, putting Pokémon and people to sleep. Some Lapras are able to develop {{t|Psychic}} abilities such as telepathy, such as the one belonging to [[Santa Claus]] or {{Zensho|Satoshi}}'s in [[Pokémon Zensho]].

Lapras is also able to wield {{type|Electric}} attacks, and, on rare occasions, some are able to use the {{type|Dragon}} move {{m|Dragon Pulse}}—possibly due to their likeness to the {{wp|plesiosaur}}.

Unlike most Pokémon, Lapras has the ability to learn human speech.

[[File:Santa Claus Lapras telepathy.png|thumb|200px|left|A Lapras speaking through telepathy]]
===Behavior===
Lapras are social Pokémon, and they swim through the sea in large pods. They keep track of their fellow pod members through use of high-pitched songs they constantly sing, much like whales. Unfortunately they are very docile and do not like to fight, which has made them an easy target for hunters. They are currently very rare in the wild. Their songs have become very sorrowful in recent times as it has become harder and harder for these peaceful Pokémon to find others of their kind. They are highly intelligent.

===Habitat===
[[File:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Lapras are native to the cold waters of glacial regions, but they migrate to tropical areas such as the [[Orange Archipelago]] to raise their young. They are extremely rare due to hunting, and are nearly extinct. They still exist in secluded spots in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]].

===Diet===

Unknown.

==In the anime==
[[File:Solidad Lapras.png|right|thumb|250px|Lapras in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Lapras]]====
In ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', Ash and {{Ashfr}} saved a baby Lapras from a trio of thugs, and then again from {{TRT}}. Ash captured this Lapras and mostly used it as transportation between the islands of the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Lapras also took part in Ash's [[Gym]] battle with [[Danny]] from [[Navel Island]] to get his second [[Orange League]] [[Gym]] [[Badge]], the {{badge|Sea Ruby}}, in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''. It was returned to its family in ''[[EP113|Viva Las Lapras]]''. Ash's Lapras made a return appearance in ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]''.

====Other====
Lapras first appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''. This one helped {{Ash}} and his friends reunite a {{p|Jynx}} with [[Santa Claus]]. This Lapras was able to [[talking Pokémon|talk]] via telepathy.

[[Solidad]] also owns a Lapras, which debuted in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]].

Lapras appeared in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]'', taking [[Team Poképals]] across the Sea of Time.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|Holiday Hi-Jynx|Lapras|Ash's Pokédex|Lapras. This intellectual advanced Pokémon is able to [[Talking Pokémon|understand human speech]]. With its mild temperament, Lapras prefers to carry humans on its back, rather than engage in [[Pokémon battle]]s.}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Pryce Lapras Family Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Lapras as seen in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{spoilers}}
The most notable role of Lapras in [[Pokémon Adventures]] was being one of the Pokémon of [[Pryce]]. In his youth, Pryce lost two of his favorite Lapras, La Pris and La Prus, in an avalanche just as the {{pkmn|Egg}} borne by them hatched. Unable to get over his loss, Pryce swore to save his Lapras and thus began researching into time travel, setting the events of the [[Johto]] saga in motion. Eventually, Pryce was able to capture {{p|Celebi}} and enter time, only to lose Celebi as the [[Poké Ball]] containing it was shattered, causing him to be unable to override time any further. However, the baby Lapras, La Glace, was able to enter the time in which Pryce's Lapras were separated, and the family enjoyed a happy reunion while Pryce was eventually lost in time.{{endspoilers}}

Years prior, in the {{chap|Yellow}}, {{adv|Blue}} is seen capturing a wild Lapras and giving it to a kid in a flashback that dates to around the same time as {{adv|Red}}'s first fight with {{adv|Giovanni}}.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Lapras EToP.png|thumb|150px|[[Ash's Lapras]] in the [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
{{main|Ash's Lapras}}
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ash saves a Lapras from a swarm of {{p|Krabby}} tormenting it. Like in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Ash used this Lapras as a mode of transportation through the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. It is not known in this version if he releases it. Misty also uses one as a mode of transportation.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
{{Zensho|Satoshi}} has a Lapras which originally belonged to Sabrina and was given to him after trying to defeat Giovanni.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky|Explorers of Sky]]: Lapras is the Pokémon that ferries Pokémon to the [[Hidden Land]]. When {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} explored the [[Brine Cave]] and found the strange marking on the wall there, Lapras asked Wigglytuff not to investigate it further to keep the Hidden Land a secret. When the player and partner had to get to the Hidden Land to save the world, Lapras responded to the presence of the [[Relic Fragment]] that matched the pattern on the wall, shooting a beam into the sea, summoning Lapras. Lapras ferries the player, the partner, and Grovyle to the Hidden Land, along the way telling the story of what happened when Wigglytuff and {{mdc|Chatot|2}} came to Brine Cave. Later, after the player defeats Dialga at Temporal Tower, Lapras will be waiting at the beach and can ferry the player and the partner back to the Hidden Land again. There is no limit to how many times Lapras can do this.

==Trivia==
[[File:131Lapras RG.png|thumb|right|150px|Lapras shown with teeth in its Generation I artwork.]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Lapras was originally going to be called "Ness" which is derived from the {{wp|Loch Ness monster}}.
* Due to their similar appearance, {{p|Shellos}} was initially thought to be a [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolution]] of Lapras. This was eventually proven to be {{p|Gastrodon|false}}.
* Lapras can learn three of the four [[one-hit knockout move]]s. The only one it cannot learn is {{m|Guillotine}}.
* Lapras is one of the few [[Generation I]] non-legendary Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Ditto}}.
* Excluding all [[legendary Pokémon]], Lapras has the highest base stat total of a non-evolved Pokémon (with a grand total of 535 stat points). However, Lapras used to come second, as {{p|Snorlax}} used to hold this trait - having 5 more stat points than Lapras - until [[Generation IV]], when {{p|Munchlax}} was introduced.
* Lapras was depicted with teeth in its [[Generation I]] official artwork and in Pokémon Adventures.
* Lapras is tied with {{p|Vanilluxe}} for having the highest base stat total of all non-legendary {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.
** It also has the highest base HP of all Ice-types.
* Although Lapras was able to learn {{m|SolarBeam}} via [[TM]] in [[Generation I]], it was not able to learn the move in any other generations.
* Lapras is one of two Pokémon to use telepathy in a regular episode of the anime. The other is {{p|Ralts}}.
* Along with Pikachu, Lapras is one of [[Veronica Taylor]]'s favorite Pokémon.

===Origin===
This {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is based on the fabled {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}} in {{wp|Scotland}}, also known as Nessie. The creature and this Pokémon are said to resemble the marine reptile known as the {{wp|plesiosaurus}}. However, while Lapras has a long neck, it is not nearly as long as the plesiosaurus's neck, whereas the body is very similar to the creature that is said to be in Loch Ness. Lapras's intelligence, singing and rarity can be comparable with some {{wp|cetacean}}s. It is also possible that its long neck and head (as well as its whole body) take some inspiration from the mast heads and hulls of {{wp|Viking}} ships.

====Name origin====
Lapras is a corruption of Laplace.

Laplace may be a reference to {{wp|Pierre-Simon Laplace}}, a mathematician who wrote several books on the mathematical properties of the sea and tides, or derive from ''la place'' (French for ''seat''), referring to how passengers sit on its back like a seat to be ferried across bodies of water. It may also derived from {{wp|Lapis|lapis lazuli}}, a bright blue gem.

'''Gyarados''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャラドス''' ''Gyarados'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magikarp}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gyarados is a large dragon Pokémon, resembling dragons seen in Chinese mythology. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with serpentine bodies|serpentine body}} is mostly blue, but its underbelly and the spots along its body are yellow. It has a three-pointed, dark blue crest on its head and four white fins down its back. Its mouth is very large and gaping, bearing four canine teeth, but bears some resemblance to that of its pre-evolution {{p|Magikarp}}. Like Magikarp, it has one barbel on both sides of its face. Its pectoral and dorsal fins also resemble Magikarp's. Gyarados is rarely shown with its mouth closed. When Gyarados is forced to undergo evolution, it retains Magikarp's red coloring, leading to the phenomena of the [[Red Gyarados]].

====Gender differences====
A female has white barbels, while a male has blue. A Shiny male Gyarados will have red barbels.

===Special abilities===
Gyarados, like most dragon-like Pokémon, has a high {{Stat|Attack}} stat, causing it to rely more on physical attacks than special ones. It is one of the few {{type|Water}}s able to wield both {{type|Fire}} and {{type|Electric}} attacks. Its fangs can crush stones and its scales are harder than steel. Despite the strength of its fangs, it cannot learn the move {{m|Crunch}} and can only learn {{m|Ice Fang|one of the elemental fang moves}}.

===Behavior===
This Pokémon bears little resemblance to its docile {{p|Magikarp|pre-evolution}}. Gyarados is infamously known for its fierce temper and wanton destructive tendencies. Once it has worked itself into a frenzy, it will not calm until everything around it is destroyed—this tendency is attributed to the dramatic structural changes its brain undergoes during evolution. It seems attracted to violence. During times of human conflict, Gyarados are said to appear, burning entire cities down to the ground. In addition, Gyarados are also notoriously difficult to tame even after they are captured by the Trainer, usually requiring an exceptional amount of work in taming it until it can become loyal and obedient to its Trainer.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Gyarados usually live in large bodies of water, such as lakes and ponds or even seas and oceans. The [[Lake of Rage]] is the best known nesting area for Gyarados, and most famously, the [[red Gyarados]], however, they are still quite rare even in the Lake Of Rage, as they are seldom found in the wild.

===Diet===

Unknown.

==In the anime==

[[File:Lance Red Gyarados.png|thumb|230px|Red Gyarados in the anime]]

===Major appearances===
====[[Misty's Gyarados]]====
{{an|Misty}} obtained a Gyarados after passing the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] test in ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]''. Prior to the test, Misty was terrified of Gyarados, but in order to pass the test, she had to overcome her fear of it. In the end, she calmed and kept the Gyarados.

====[[Red Gyarados]]====
''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' and ''[[EP236|Rage Of Innocence]]'' focused on a red Gyarados. It was on a destructive rampage until [[Lance]] captured it.

====Other====
A Gyarados appeared in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''. [[James]] was frustrated with his {{p|Magikarp}} and kicked it into the water. That Magikarp [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Gyarados. It reappeared in a flashback in [[EP017|the following episode]].

Groups of Gyarados were seen from within a submarine disguised as or styled after a Gyarados by [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'' shortly before the onset of a massive, annual tidal wave celebrated by local surfers who were apparently not aware of the annual migration. According to James, the Gyarados gathered each year in this location to lay their eggs.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Gyarados owned by [[Fergus]] was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}}. Fergus attacked Mewtwo with Gyarados's Hyper Beam, but Mewtwo turned the attack back on it, knocking the Gyarados out. The Gyarados clone is seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. Before Mewtwo appeared, Ash commented that he had heard that Gyarados were hard to train.

Another Gyarados was used in ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', under the ownership of [[Crasher Wake]].

===Minor appearances===
Gyarados debuted in a cameo appearance in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. It was swimming by in a river that {{Ash}} had jumped into to avoid being chased by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}.

[[Nurse Joy]] had befriended a {{pkmn2|giant}} Magikarp that later evolved into Gyarados in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''. Despite Magikarp being giant, it was regular-sized as a Gyarados.

Multiple Gyarados also appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''.

The Magikarp that [[Dr. Quackenpoker]] had been observing evolved into Gyarados in ''[[EP109|The Wacky Watcher!]]''.

A Gyarados was seen in a fantasy in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]''.

A Gyarados also appeared in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

[[Lola]] owns a Gyarados as seen in ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]''.

Four Gyarados appeared in ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]'' where they were driven away by {{an|Silver}}'s {{p|Salamence}}.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Gyara}}
{{main|Red Gyarados}}
Gyarados debuts in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in its own round, ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]''. Here, an enraged one attacks its own Trainer, [[Misty]], but is recaught by {{adv|Red}}, who supposedly returns it to her. The drastic change in attitude of the Pokémon was the result of a [[Team Rocket]] experiment as is shown in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]''.

Later on, Misty traded this Gyarados to Red in exchange for Red's {{p|Krabby}} which he names [[Gyara]].

Gyarados is later seen with [[Lance]], using its {{m|BubbleBeam}} to shield him from the lava of [[Mt. Cerise]].

A [[Red Gyarados]] was seen in the [[Lake of Rage]] three years later, but it was caught by {{adv|Silver}}. It had the ability to control the other Gyarados in the lake.

It later appears as one of Blue's Pokémon in {{PAV|13}}, used against {{p|Entei}}, and later part of his revealed team during the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff. Prior to the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, Blue returns Gyarados to Red.

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

[[Shiny Pokémon|Red]] Gyarados have appeared three times in the {{Trading Card Game}}, once in {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} as {{TCG ID|Neo Revelation|Shining Gyarados|65}}, once in {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}} as [[Gyarados ☆ δ (EX Holon Phantoms 102)|Gyarados]] {{Star}} δ, and in {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} as {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Gyarados|123}}. The most recent appearance in HeartGold & SoulSilver most likely commemorates Red Gyarados's initial appearance as a significant part of the storyline in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

==Other appearances==

=== [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] ===

Gyarados only appears as a trophy.

==== Trophy Information ====

''"An Atrocious Pokémon rarely seen in the wild. When it does appear, it's usually running rampant in a destructive rage--behavior that has the unfortunate side effect of leaving whole cities in ruin. It is said that when humans begin a conflict, Gyarados incinerates the towns of both warring parties. There are records of a Gyarados rampage lasting as long as a month. Its pre-evolution form is Magikarp."''

==Game data==
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond and Pearl]] a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] Gyarados is featured on the TV on a program called "Search for the Red Gyarados." It is this that inspires {{ga|Lucas}} or {{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Barry|their rival}} to go to [[Lake Verity]], to see if there is a rare Pokémon dwelling in it.

* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: A Gyarados appears in the [[Miracle Sea]]. He attempts to take control of the {{p|Phione}}, but is stopped by the player's team.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}: The same Gyarados takes on the same role as it did in Time and Darkness.
* [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]: Gyarados tries to take over the Beach Zone in {{p|Empoleon}}'s absence. {{p|Pikachu}} then has to beat Gyarados's Aqua Dash so Gyarados stops trying to take over.

==Trivia==
[[File:Gyarados_Mouth_Closed.png|thumb|230px|right|Gyarados with its mouth closed and violet eyes]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Gyarados' name was ''Skulkraken'', a combination of ''skull'' and ''{{wp|kraken}}'' (a mythological sea monster).
* Despite being part {{t|Flying}} type, the only Flying-type move it can learn is {{m|Bounce}}, which is only possible via [[Move Tutor]] in {{game|Platinum}}. However, it has been seen flying in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* In [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Gyarados is the only 100%-certain {{Shiny}} encounter and the first of only two Shiny Pokémon to be integrated into a game's plot (the second was {{mdc|Celebi|2}} in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}).
* In the Pokémon anime, Gyarados's eyes are violet instead of the red that appears in its sprites and official artwork.
* Gyarados has the greatest increase of its base stat total of any Pokémon compared to its prevolution, an increase of 340 points. It shares this distinction with {{p|Milotic}}.
* As of [[Generation V]], Gyarados and its pre-evolution's [[Egg group]] combination ({{egg|Water 2}} and {{egg|Dragon}}) is unique.
* As of Generation V, Gyarados is used by three of the six Pokémon League Champions, being used by {{ga|Blue}}, [[Lance]] and [[Wallace]], making it the most popular Pokémon among Pokémon League Champions thus far (although Blue does not always have a Gyarados, depending on the player's starter Pokémon).
** Gyarados is also a popular Pokémon among [[Gym Leader]]s, being used by Blue, [[Clair]] and [[Crasher Wake]].
* Both of Gyarados's abilities involve the {{stat|Attack}} stat; {{a|Intimidate}} lowers the opponent's Attack, while {{a|Moxie}} increases its own.
* Gyarados's known abilities are shared with another evolutionary line, {{p|Salamence}}.
* Gyarados [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appears in every regional Pokédex]] except the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]].
* Gyarados is the heaviest {{type|Flying}} Pokémon and the second largest, being surpassed in length by {{p|Rayquaza}}.
* In many ways, Gyarados is the counterpart of {{p|Milotic}}. Both are the serpentine evolved forms of weak fish Pokémon, and both appear in times of conflict, Gyarados to destroy, Milotic to becalm. Both have base stat totals of 540, the only difference being the distribution of their {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on a sea dragon or {{wp|sea serpent}}. Gyarados is partially based on a legend about how carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This is referenced by Pokémon Snap, as you need to get Magikarp into a waterfall to evolve it into Gyarados. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles (which can be tied to the fact that Gyarados' pre-evolution, Magikarp, could possibly take a lot of drive and effort to legitimately evolve into Gyarados).

===Name origin===
Gyarados may derive from 虐殺 ''gyakusatsu'' (massacre/slaughter) or 逆境 ''gyakkyō'' (hardship/adversity)—both words relate to the creature's violent nature and the hardship it experienced before evolving—and ドス ''dosu'' (onomatopoeia for the piercing of flesh, again owing to Gyarados' violent nature). Alternatively, ''dos'' may indicate that it is the second in its evolutionary line.

'''Magikarp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイキング''' ''Koiking'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Gyarados}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Magikarp is a reddish-orange, medium-sized fish. Its notable characteristics include large, heavy scales. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with fins|fins}} are primarily white, but it has two stiff, three-peaked fins on its back and stomach that are both yellow. It also has long {{wp|barbel (anatomy)|barbels}}.

====Gender differences====
A female has white barbels and a male has tan ones. In {{v2|Platinum}} (but no other games to date), the male also has a slightly bigger light band on its forehead compared to the female.

===Special abilities===
Long-lived Magikarp are able to utilize their immense {{m|splash}}ing power to leap high enough to jump mountains. Magikarp also have a strong enough immune system to survive in the most polluted of waters.

===Behavior===
Although this Pokémon is capable of surviving in even the most polluted ponds, it is usually overlooked by Trainers because it is pathetically weak: even in the heat of battle it will do nothing but flop around. It is not a strong swimmer, and currents in the water will sweep it downstream. They are normally seen using {{m|Splash}}, which is unusual, as it makes them easy targets to predators. Before the species multiplied, it is believed that the ancestors of Magikarp were actually much stronger than the Magikarp seen today, and this belief has led scientists to research this species.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Magikarp is found in many bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, and ponds. However, due to its weak swimming ability it usually lives downstream of the water's flow. Magikarp are extremely plentiful, living in almost any region. No one really knows how this Pokémon survived, however, Magikarp is rare in the Unova region, unlike the other regions.

===Diet===

Unknown.

===Major appearances===

====[[Magikarp salesman's Magikarp]]====
Several episodes, the first one being in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', involve a particular [[Magikarp salesman|salesman]] trying to sell certain Pokémon to someone.

====Other====

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=water
|gen=1
|redbluedex=In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.
|yellowdex=Famous for being very unreliable. It can be found swimming in seas, lakes, rivers and shallow puddles.
|golddex=An underpowered, pathetic Pokémon. It may jump high on rare occasions, but never more than seven feet.
|silverdex=For no reason, it jumps and splashes about, making it easy for predators like {{p|Pidgeotto}} to catch it mid-jump.
|stadiumdex=Whoever its opponent, and however horrible the attack it receives, all it does is {{m|Splash}} around.
|crystaldex=This weak and pathetic Pokémon gets easily pushed along rivers when there are strong currents.
|stadium2dex=An underpowered, pathetic Pokémon. It may jump high on rare occasions, but never more than seven feet.
|rubydex=Magikarp is a pathetic excuse for a Pokémon that is only capable of flopping and splashing. This behavior prompted scientists to undertake research into it.
|sapphiredex=Magikarp is virtually useless in battle as it can only splash around. As a result, it is considered to be weak. However, it is actually a very hardy Pokémon that can survive in any body of water no matter how polluted it is.
|emeralddex=Its swimming muscles are weak, so it is easily washed away by currents. In places where water pools, you can see many Magikarp deposited there by the flow.
|firereddex=It is virtually worthless in terms of both power and speed. It is the most weak and pathetic Pokémon in the world.
|leafgreendex=In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.
|diamonddex=It is said to be the world's weakest Pokémon. No one knows why it has managed to survive.
|pearldex=It is unable to swim against even slow-moving currents. It always splashes about for some reason.
|platinumdex=A Magikarp living for many years can leap a mountain using Splash. The move remains useless, though.
|heartgolddex=An underpowered, pathetic Pokémon. It may jump high on rare occasions, but never more than seven feet.
|soulsilverdex=For no reason, it jumps and splashes about, making it easy for predators like Pidgeotto to catch it mid-jump.
|bwdex=A Magikarp living for many years can leap a mountain using Splash. The move remains useless, though.

==Trivia==
* As of {{game|Platinum}}, Magikarp is tied at the lowest (with {{p|Regigigas}}), and ironically, the highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture at level 1 and 100, beating out even the level 80 {{p|Arceus}} for highest. It is only available in a pond in the [[Resort Area]] with a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}} in Platinum, where only Magikarp can be caught and range in levels anywhere from level 1 to 100.
* Even though Magikarp is said to be the weakest Pokémon in existence, {{p|Caterpie|there}} {{p|Weedle|are}} {{p|Sunkern|seven}} {{p|Wurmple|Pokémon}} {{p|Ralts|weaker}} {{p|Azurill|than}} {{p|Kricketot|it}} {{p|Feebas|and one equal to it}} in terms of [[List of Pokémon by base stats|base stat average]].
* Magikarp takes the shortest time to hatch out of all Pokémon that can be legitimately hatched, with 6 [[Egg cycles]].
* Magikarp is one of four {{type|Water}}s that cannot learn {{m|Surf}} (the others being {{p|Surskit}}, {{p|Wingull}} and {{p|Rotom|Wash Rotom}}{{tt|*|Generation V}}), as well as the only Water-type that cannot learn any Ice-type or Water-type [[move]]s.
* Magikarp was the first Pokémon featured in [[Professor Oak's lecture]].
* As of [[Generation V]], Magikarp and {{p|Gyarados|its evolution}}'s [[Egg group]] ({{egg|Water 2}} and {{egg|Dragon}}) are unique.
* Magikarp is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Magikarp shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Feebas}}. They are both known as Fish Pokémon.
* Every one of Magikarp's Pokédex entries talks about either its lack of strength, its tendency to {{m|Splash}}, or both.
* Magikarp's FireRed Pokédex entry remarks on its lack of power and speed. While the power part is true, Magikarp in fact sports a base 80 speed stat, making it quite fast.
* The Pokédex entries for Magikarp in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]] and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold]] and {{v2|Platinum}} contradict each other; Gold and HeartGold say that Magikarp never jumps more than seven feet, whereas Platinum version states that it may jump over a mountain after living many years.
* Magikarp is the only Pokémon that can learn attacking moves but cannot get [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] on any of them. This does not include {{m|Bubble}}, which was available via an event in [[Generation II]] only.
* Together with {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Rattata}}, and {{p|Seedot}}, Magikarp is the easiest Pokémon to catch in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, with only one loop necessary.
* Magikarp is one of the most common Pokémon in the game, found everywhere it is possible to [[fishing|fish]] (except in [[Unova]], where it is not found in the wild at all, though is obtainable through the Magikarp Salesman).
* Magikarp is one of the only Pokémon that is obtainable in-game every main-series game, including expansion games and remakes.
* Both of Magikarp's Abilities raise its {{stat|Speed}} stat.
* In [[Generation III]], Magikarp could not damage {{type|Ghost}}s due to its only moves being {{type|Normal}}; in [[Generation II]] it learned {{m|Bubble}} from an event, which could be traded back to [[Generation I]]; in [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation V]] it learns {{m|Bounce}} from a [[Move Tutor#Platnium|Move Tutor]] and when caught in the {{pkmn|Dream World}}, respectively.
* Magikarp [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appears in every regional Pokédex]] except the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]].

===Origin===
Magikarp is based on a legend about how carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles. This may have inspired an element in [[Pokémon Snap]] where, after certain steps are taken, a Magikarp will splash its way into a waterfall where it evolves. Magikarp may also be based on {{wp|Asian carp}}s, which are easily frightened by disturbances in water and can jump 8-10 feet in the air.

====Name origin====
Magikarp's name is a combination of ''magic'' and ''{{wp|carp}}'', possibly mocking the Magikarp as a species, as someone with 'magic' powers is generally thought to be quite powerful, which Magikarp is not (though carp are said to be able to transform into dragons, which is magical in its own way). It may also the combination of ''Magi'' (the three kings from the story of the {{wp|Nativity of Jesus|Nativity}}) and ''carp''.

Koiking is a combination of 鯉 ''{{wp|koi}}'' (carp) and ''king'', giving its name an ironic slant similar to its English name.

Global Battle Union

2012-07-12T20:07:02Z

Metalfenix11: /* Seasons */

{{incomplete|2=English logo, images, Famitsu Cup rules, rankings, everything with a question mark}}
[[File:Global Battle Union Japanese logo.png|thumb|Japanese Global Battle Union logo]]
The '''Global Battle Union''' (Japanese: '''グローバルバトルユニオン''' ''Global Battle Union''), commonly shortened to '''GBU''', is a part of the [[Pokémon Global Link]] that displays battle records from the Random Matchup Rating Mode in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

In order to access the Global Battle Union, a player must have a Pokémon Global Link account. Rankings cannot even be seen without logging on to the site first.

==Random Matchup==
Random Matchup can be accessed through the [[Global Terminal]] inside the Pokémon Centers. Players are given the option to choose the battle mode between Single Battle, Double Battle, Triple Battle, Rotation Battle, or Launcher Battle. The option for Free mode and Rating mode is then given, the latter of which is the concern of the Global Battle Union. Rating mode requires players to have Black and White game synched with a corresponding Global Link account. Players start out with a 1500 Rating that increases or decreases depending on the outcome of the battle. Players are more likely to battle other players of the same rating.

===Rating===
[[File:Red Trophy select.png|thumb|Selecting an avatar]]
Every season, once a player has completed ten Random Matchup [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|Wi-Fi]] {{pkmn|battle}}s (ties and incomplete battles do not count) of any format, they are added into the rating system of the Global Battle Union. All players are rated according to the number of points that they have. The points are generally intended to account for the win-loss record of that player.

In addition to seeing the general ratings and points of other players, players can also view an "advanced" version of their own ratings by clicking a "details" button on the page. Ratings, along with other information, can be transferred when using another [[Nintendo DS]] console by transferring Wi-Fi Connection settings.

Besides being able to see the overall rankings of each player, ratings can also be filtered by battle format (Single, Double, Triple, Launcher, or Rotation Battles) as well as by location of the player.

Players that end a season rated in the top 100 of the overall ratings receive a special trophy avatar on the Global Link.

===Rules===
In Rating mode, players must follow a certain set of rules. Players who choose Free mode have the option to make use of these rules. The rules are subject to changes caused by the likes of glitches, world championships, overall balance, and unreleased Pokémon. For example, as mentioned in the games, the initial list of banned Pokémon only included the following: [[Pokémon Egg]]s, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Chatot}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, and {{p|Kyurem}}. The list of course excluded {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, and {{p|Genesect}} as they were yet to be released.

}}

==Seasons==
Every three months, the Global Battle Union ends a season on a Tuesday, and an extended maintenance session of the whole Pokémon Global Link is scheduled before the day of season interchange. The following day, a Wednesday, a new season will begin. Final rankings are released two to three weeks after a season ends. Once a new season starts, players start over with zero points.

Listed below are all of the Global Battle Union seasons that have been scheduled:

*Season 1: April 13 to June 28, 2011
*Season 2: June 29 to September 27, 2011
*Season 3: September 28 to December 27, 2011
*Season 4: December 28, 2011 to March 27, 2012
*Season 5: March 28, 2012 to June 19, 2012
*Season 6: June 20, 2012 to September 25, 2012
*Season 7: September 26, 2012 to December 25, 2012
*Season 8: December 26, 2012 to March 26, 2012
*Season 9: March 27,2013 to June 25, 2013

==Competitions==
In addition to its ranking system, the Global Battle Union serves as the venue for tournament registration. A Digital Player ID is given after registering via the Battle Competition in the main menu of {{game|Black and White|s}}. The {{DL|Pokémon Storage System|Battle Box}} is used for the party to be used in the competition, which is then registered and locked. The Battle Box Pokémon (even the order of their moves) may not be changed while the competition is on-going. Choosing the Battle Competition option again will allow players to participate in battles for the competition. Players can only cancel participation via the Battle Competition option, not the Global Battle Union.

To date, the Battle Union has hosted the following competitions:

'''Magmar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブーバー''' ''Boober'') is a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magby}} starting at [[level]] 30 and evolves into {{p|Magmortar}} when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Magmarizer}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Magmar is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|tailed, bipedal}} Pokémon with a red body that has a yellow flame design on it. It has a yellow tail that has a flame on the tip. Magmar has yellow thighs, and red feet with two toes each. Magmar's arms are covered in red, rigid scales and it has red hands with five fingers. It has black, metal shackles on its neck and legs. Magmar has a row of red spikes running down its back, two lumps on its forehead with a flame on top of each one and a yellow beak. Its body temperature is nearly {{tt|2,200 degrees Fahrenheit|1,200 degrees Celsius}}.

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

===Special abilities===
As the Spitfire Pokémon, Magmar is famous for its fire-spewing abilities. Magmar is recognized as a powerful {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, and one that is especially adept in streaming and projectile attacking patterns. In this manner, Magmar can loose powerful, non-Fire-type {{stat|Special Attack|special attacks}}, including {{m|Focus Blast}}. Along with this, Magmar are also considerably quick Pokémon, and usually possess impressive physical capabilities. This advantage puts an exciting emphasis on attacks such as {{m|Brick Break}}, {{m|Low Sweep}}, and {{m|ThunderPunch}}. Extremely [[Blaine's Magmar|well-trained Magmar]] have been known to achieve an ability called Air Lens, which prevents {{type|Electric}} attacks from affecting Magmar. They also have limited {{t|psychic}} powers. Additionally, Magmar is one member of a small group of Pokémon still capable of evolution that are also able to use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Magmar are known to be tireless, “savage and intelligent” Pokémon that are prone to unprovoked violence and wily treachery. Magmar is reported as being very swift and alacritous in high temperatures, and rather dopey and sluggish in colder environments, similarly to a cold-blooded animal. Because it hates cold places, this Pokémon typically resides in and around active volcano’s. Magmar also seems to be able heal its wounds by “dipping its wound into lava”. Hardly submissive, this restless Pokémon has even been known to alter unfavorably wintry surroundings using its {{type|Fire}} powers. In areas it finds to frigid, Magmar will spit scorching flames about to warm up the area and establish an environment with a more conflagrant ambience. In battle, if Magmar is clearly dominant, it “blows out intense flames from all over its body” as to intimidate its foes. However, an outmatched Magmar will quickly retreat, using its fiery camouflage and its “wavering, rippling glare” to blend into any present fires.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Magmar prefer environments that are very hot, such as volcanoes. [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Sinnoh]] are the best places that offer such habitats to these Pokémon.

===Diet===

==Trivia==
*Magmar is one of four Pokémon to receive both a [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolution]] and [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|new evolution]] in generations after its release. The other three are {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Electabuzz}} and {{p|Roselia}}.
** It is also one of five Pokémon that didn't have any evolutionary relatives in the generation they were introduced in, but now are part of a three-stage evolutionary line. The other four are the previously mentioned three and {{p|Porygon}} (while all four of the other Pokémon got both an evolution and a pre-evolution, {{p|Porygon}} got two evolutions).
*Magmar and {{p|Electabuzz}} seem to be counterparts; both evolve in a very similar way (first at level 30, then after being traded holding an "-izer" item), and both are typically exclusive to one version of a pair of games. They also learn all their moves at the same levels, such as Fire Punch and ThunderPunch at level 28. They even have the same special moves when purified from Pokémon XD: {{m|Follow Me}} and {{m|Cross Chop}}. Their pre-evolutions and evolutions were released in the same generation. Additionally, their Japanese names are essentially phonetic reversals of each other.
*In all games within [[Generation IV]], and by extension, [[Generation II]], that Magmar can be caught in the wild, Magmar can be caught at levels lower than it evolves.

===Origin===
Magmar seems to be a combination of a {{wp|booby}} or {{wp|duck}} with a mythical {{wp|Salamander#Mythology|salamander}} of fire. However, the tail and the spikes on its back resemble those of an {{wp|iguana}}. It is also likely based on a {{wp|Karura}}, considering that its counterpart {{p|Electabuzz}} is based on an ''{{wp|oni (folklore)|oni}}''.

====Name origin====
Magmar may be a corruption of the word ''{{wp|magma}}'' (intrusive molten rock), but may also involve the word ''mar'' (to damage or spoil)), referring to the incineration of its surroundings to suit its own needs.

Boober may be a combination of ''{{wp|booby}}'' (a type of sea bird) and a corruption of ''burn''.

'''Conkeldurr''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ローブシン''' ''Roubushin'') is a {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gurdurr}} when [[trade]]d. It is the final form of {{p|Timburr}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Conkeldurr is a bipedal, primarily sepia-colored, ogre-like Fighting-type Pokémon. Its nose is large and red, with its face also having a prominent brow, a wide mouth, a gray tuft on its chin, dark rings around its eyes and a bulbous feature sticking up from the back of his head. Thick violet bands and tendons adorn its shoulders, chest, back and thighs. It is known to carry concrete pillars in its massive arms.

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

===Special abilities===
Conkeldurr can create concrete, a technique it was believed to have taught humans 2000 years ago. It uses its concrete pillars to attack strongly, without using its physical strength. It also uses them to support its massive upper body.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
They are often seen around construction sites helping the workers.

==Trivia==
* Conkeldurr's evolutionary line shares many similarities with {{p|Machamp}}'s evolutionary line. Both of them are {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon whose {{stat|Attack}} is their highest stat, have below average {{stat|Speed}}, have the same gender ratio, have three evolutionary stages, reach their respective final-evolutionary form through [[Trade|trading]] and have the same base stat total.
* Conkeldurr has the highest {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Pokémon Black and White Versions|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], an English language Conkeldurr cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

===Origin===
At first glance, Conkeldurr's brutal humanoid appearance suggests inspiration from {{wp|ogre}}s of folklore. Furthermore, {{p|Timburr}}'s Pokédex entry supports that it and its evolutions are based on {{wp|construction worker}}s. Due to its clown nose and buff body, it may have also been based on a muscleman {{wp|Glossary of 'carny' slang|carnie}} from a {{wp|Sideshow|carnival sideshow}}.

====Name origin====
Conkeldurr may be a combination of ''concrete'' and ''elder''. It may also involve ''conk'', having meaning as both an especially large nose and to hit someone on the head.

Roubushin may be a combination of 老 ''rō'' (old) and 武神 ''bushin'' (warlord) or 普請 ''hushin'' (construction work/public work).

'''Scyther''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ストライク''' ''Strike'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Scizor}} when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Metal Coat}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Scyther resembles a primarily green, human-sized praying mantis with accents of cream coloration. It has large, blade-like forearms and a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with two or more pairs of wings|pair of cream-colored wings}}. Its head is reptilian rather than insect in shape, with three small points, and its feet possess three claws.

====Gender differences====
The female of the species have slightly larger abdomens.

===Special abilities===
Scyther's blade-like forearms have the power to {{m|Slash|slice}} through logs with a single blow. Scyther is also gifted with tremendous speed and is a strong flyer, but very rarely flies. It is said it could use its scythes like a ninja. Scyther is one of a small number of Pokémon still capable of evolution that are able to use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Scyther are very intelligent, but tend to be quiet and reclusive in the wild. They tend to act like lions, and if a challenger Scyther wins a battle against the leader of the Scyther swarm, the original Scyther leader will depart, and the challenger will take place as the new leader. When confronted by a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, they will react very aggressively to defend themselves, but when trained, Scyther can be among the most loyal Pokémon on any Trainer's team and hate to give-up.

In ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', it was revealed that Scyther and {{p|Electabuzz}} despise the color red, however, other Scyther seen in the anime have not been as aggressive when confronted by the color, such as [[Tracey's Scyther]].

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Scyther are often rare Pokémon that prefer an open grassland so they can live with other packs of Scyther. However, they have been known to take residence in secluded forests. Although rare, they are usually imported to live in [[Safari Zone]]s & [[National Park|similar reserves]], though populations have been recorded in [[Sinnoh]] & the [[Battle Zone]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Unknown.

==In the anime==
[[File:Jeanette Scyther.png|220px|thumb|Scyther in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Tracey's Scyther]]====
{{Tracey}} captured an elderly Scyther in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]''. Even in its old age it is very aggressive, but for the same reasons, Tracey tries not to use it.

====Other====
Scyther first appeared in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''. It was one of the Pokémon used during the feuds between the Kas and Yas Gyms of Dark Town. It is the Yas Gym's primary Pokémon.

A Scyther has also been used by the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Navel Island]], [[Danny]] in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''. It was seen helping Danny's {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} carve Danny's sled and later competed in the sled race alongside Danny's {{p|Electrode}} and {{p|Geodude}}. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'' and in another flashback in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]''.

[[Bugsy]] used a Scyther against Ash in ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]''. This Scyther was trained to block Fire-type attacks by using {{m|Swords Dance}} as a fan. Ash discovered that this defensive strategy doesn't work if a Fire-type move is used from above, which allowed his {{AP|Cyndaquil}} to win in his Gym match.

In ''[[SS020|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'', Scyther was a member of Team Razor Wind, along with {{p|Sandslash}} and {{p|Zangoose}}. The trio of clawed Pokémon were first seen being blasted out of the [[Wigglytuff's Guild|Wigglytuff Guild]]. Team Razor Wind overheard that [[Team Poképals]] were assigned with the task of traveling to the [[Labyrinth Cave]] to get a [[Gabite Scale]] for an ailing {{p|Shinx}}, and decided to attempt beating [[Team Poképals]]. Unfortunately for Team Razor Wind, Gabite beat them up. It reappeared alongside its team in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Scyther owned by [[Corey]] was one of the Pokémon that was captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}}. When {{TRT}} saw this Pokémon being cloned, it was mistaken for an {{p|Alakazam}}. The Scyther clone was seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

A Scyther appeared during the [[Indigo League]] in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', under the ownership of [[Jeanette Fisher]]. [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] battled the Scyther, and despite the type disadvantage, Bulbasaur came out the winner. It reappeared in a flashback in [[EP078|the following episode]].

A {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|Pink Pokémon|pink}} Scyther appeared in {{TRT}}'s fantasy in ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]''.

A Scyther was seen in a dojo in ''[[EP140|Wired for Battle!]]''.

A Scyther also appeared in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]''.

A Pokémon Hunter had a Scyther and {{p|Houndoom}} which he had used to chase after {{p|Celebi}} in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

In ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'', a Trainer with a Scyther was seen practicing and participating in the [[Extreme Pokémon Race]].

A Scyther appeared in the opening of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''.

Scyther was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

A Scyther was also owned by a demolition crew (which was changed into a construction crew due to [[Ritchie]] changing the past) in ''[[SS013|Celebi and Joy]]''.

[[Luna]] from ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'' had a Scyther that eventually evolved into a Scizor.

A Scyther was under the ownership of a girl in ''[[DP050|Tag, We're It!]]'' and was partnered with a man's {{p|Koffing}} against {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and [[Conway]]'s {{p|Slowking}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Snap}}: A Scyther appears at two points on the Beach level. At the first point, the use of a Pester Ball will chase it out. (This also triggers a special Multiple Pikachu Photo opportunity.) The second point is close to the end of the Beach level.
* {{g|Stadium 2}}: Scyther stars in a mini-game alongside {{p|Pinsir}} called "Clear Cut Challenge." Each player chops a falling log for each round of the game. The score for each player is determined by how close the player is to the white line on the log. Cutting anywhere above the log will cause the player to lose points.
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Go-Rock Quads|Garret]] uses two Scyther to back up his {{p|Scizor}}.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: Scyther is one of the members of Team Razor Wind.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Scyther's prototype name was "Stryke". This is a corruption of the word "strike", which is also its romanized Japanese name.
* Despite having different base stats, Scyther and its evolution, {{p|Scizor}}, have the same base stat total: 500. This makes it the only pre-evolutionary form that has the same base stat total as its evolution.
** Since Scizor is part {{type|Steel}}, Scyther has a higher Speed stat than its evolution, but also a lower Defense stat.
* According to the anime episode ''[[EP042|Showdown in Dark City]]'', Scyther hates the color red, the main color of {{p|Scizor|its evolved form}}.
* Scyther's National Dex number is the whole number portion of its weight in pounds. It is one of only two Pokémon with this distinction; the other is {{p|Slowpoke}}.
* Before [[Generation III]], Scyther could not learn any {{type|Bug}} moves by level up.
* Scyther can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Pinsir}}. Both of them are {{type|Bug}} {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}. Scyther is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond]], while Pinsir is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|LeafGreen]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pearl]].

===Origin===
Scyther draws much inspiration from a {{wp|praying mantis}}. However, its face is more similar to {{wp|dinosaur}}s, {{wp|dragon}}s, or various reptiles.

====Name origin====
Scyther is a reference to the scythe-like blades on its forearms.

Strike may be a reference to its deadly bladed strikes.

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=bug|type2=flying

'''Seaking''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アズマオウ''' ''Azumao'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Goldeen}} starting at [[level]] 33.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Seaking resembles a {{wp|koi}} or {{wp|goldfish}}, as it is a big orange colored fish with white and black markings. It has a billowing {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with fins|tail fin and similar pectoral fins}}, all of which are white with black speckles. Along its back, there is another small fin that is pure white. It also has a small to medium sized horn on its head, two big dark eyes, and pink lips with two small, sharp fangs.
====Gender differences====
A female has a smaller horn.

===Special abilities===
Seaking is a very powerful swimmer, as it is able to swim against a river's current, and even {{m|waterfall}}s. It also uses its powerful horn to bore holes in solid rock, so as to keep its Eggs safe.

===Behavior===
In autumn, its body becomes fattier in preparing to propose to a mate. In the spawning season, they gather from all over to travel upriver. During this time, the Seaking males can be seen performing their courtship dances to woo Seaking females. The male also uses its powerful horn to bore holes in riverbed boulders, to keep the Eggs safe, although in other seasons it will make and live in their own nests. Seaking is very protective of its Eggs, defending its Eggs with its life and fighting with its horn. The male and female will take turns patrolling around their nest and Eggs, and the guarding of Eggs by the Seaking goes on for over a month until the Eggs hatch.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Seaking are common in bodies of fresh water. They are encountered in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Unknown.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Seaking.png|thumb|200px|Seaking in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Professor Oak}} have owned Seaking in the past, though Ash and Misty released theirs only a short time after capturing it, due to the rules of the [[Seaking Catching Day|competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line and Stinker]]'', and Professor Oak's Seaking was mentioned in the [[dub]] only.

[[Juan]] also owns a Seaking, which was used in a [[Gym]] battle against Ash in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]''. Juan's Seaking was able to block {{t|Electric}} attacks with {{m|Horn Drill}} and send them back at its opponent.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Seaking's most notable appearance early in [[Pokémon Adventures]] was of a failed capture by {{adv|Yellow}}, who couldn't bring herself to hurt the goldfish.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Seaking's prototype name was "{{wp|Neptune}}", after the god of the sea in Roman mythology.
* Seaking and Goldeen are the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Waterfall}} through leveling up.
** Due to this, it is possible to complete any game without finding [[HM07]].
* Seaking's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] are the same: 079.
* Despite its names in various languages having the word for ''king'' in them, there is a 50% chance that Seaking will be female.

===Origin===
It seems to be based on a species of {{wp|goldfish}} known as Azuma Nishiki (東錦), bearing a similar coloration to {{wp|Shubunkin}} goldfish. The horn part may be based on Matsya, an avatar that the hindu god {{wp|Vishnu}} assumed, which is sometimes depicted as a fish with a horn.

====Name origin====
Seaking is a combination of ''sea'' and ''king''. Additionally, it may be a pun on "sinking".

Azumao may be based on 小豆鱒 ''azukimasu'' ({{wp|rock cod}}) and 魔王 ''ma-ō'' (devil king). It may also be taken to literally mean 東王 ''azuma-ō'' (east king). Additionally, 東錦 ''azuma nishiki'' is a kind of goldfish and could be combined with 王 ''ou'' (king), as a compliment to Goldeen's "queenliness".

==In other languages==

'''Goldeen''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トサキント''' ''Tosakinto'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Seaking}} starting at [[level]] 33.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Goldeen is a white fish Pokémon with orange markings on its tail, back, and fins. It has a single fin going down its back, and {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with fins|thin pectoral fins}}. Goldeen's tail fin is admired by many for its beauty as it billows very much like a ballroom dress. It has a large horn on its forehead.
====Gender differences====
A male has a larger horn, while the female has a smaller horn.

===Special abilities===
Goldeen's large and dangerous horn is its main weapon. Although not known as an aggressive Pokémon, people swimming in waters that Goldeen are known to inhabit should be wary of being rammed.

===Behavior===
Goldeen can be seen swimming upstream in large schools during the breeding season in spring. Goldeen swims at a steady speed of five knots. They love to frolic and dance in bodies of water and dislike being kept in captivity. A Goldeen in an aquarium will use its powerful horn to smash its way to freedom.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Goldeen are a very common sight in any body of fresh water like ponds, lakes, rivers. It can be [[fishing|fished]] up in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Unknown.

==In the anime==
[[File:Misty Goldeen debut.png|240px|thumb|Goldeen in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Misty's Goldeen]]====
[[Misty's Goldeen]] first appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]''.

====Other====
Another Goldeen appeared in ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]''. [[Ash's Squirtle|A Squirtle]] knocked {{AP|Pikachu}} into a lake, which angered the Goldeen. It proceeded to attack Pikachu with a {{m|Horn Attack}} which severely injured it.

===Minor appearances===
Goldeen also appeared in the banned episode [[EP035]].

Multiple Goldeen appeared in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'' under the ownership of [[The Sensational Sisters]]. They reappeared in ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]''.

A Goldeen appeared in {{an|Misty}}'s fantasy in ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]''.

A {{pkmn2|giant}} Goldeen appeared in ''[[EP244|Enlighten Up!]]''

[[Juan]] has a Goldeen that appeared in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Battle Frontier manga===
[[Mitsuki]]'s Goldeen was first seen battling alongside {{ma|Enta}}'s {{p|Vulpix}}.

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Goldeen.png|right|thumb|200px|Goldeen in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a {{ball|Poké}}, Goldeen will use {{m|Splash}}, having no effect on the battle.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Goldeen will use {{m|Splash}}, having no effect on the battle.

Goldeen is also a Pokéfloat. It will appear from the bottom of the screen but quickly drop down to the bottom again, K.O.ing any character it hits.

====Trophy information====
''These Water-types are often referred to as "water dancers," as their elegant fins make them incredible agile underwater. They can even travel upstream in rapids at a speed of five knots; of course, they're not quite as nimble on dry land. Goldeen's {{m|Horn Drill}} is so strong that it can KO an enemy with one strike if it connects.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Goldeen will sometimes be found in a Poké Ball and will use {{m|Splash}} when released. It still does nothing to affect the battle. On the official blog, Masahiro Sakurai commented that Goldeen appearing at the most critical of times is in keeping with {{wp|Murphy's Law}}. [http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/mball/mball01.html]

==== Trophy Information ====

''"A Goldfish Pokémon. In contrast to its elegant appearance, it has a wild temperament, and its attack with its horn is severe. Among the techniques it can master, {{m|Horn Drill}} is especially reliable. It evolves into Seaking, but if raised without evolving, it can learn the powerful {{type|Bug}} {{m|Megahorn}}. There are male and female Goldeen--the male's horn is longer."''

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Goldeen was originally known as "Goldy".
* Goldeen, as well as Seaking, has been in all Japan-centric regional [[Pokédex]]es.
* Goldeen's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] are the same: 078.
* Goldeen and Seaking are the only two Pokémon that can learn {{m|Waterfall}} through [[level]]-up.
** This also makes them the only Pokémon to learn Waterfall in [[Generation I]], before the move was an [[HM]].
* Goldeen shares a fairly similar in-game cry to {{p|Caterpie}}, being only .07 seconds longer.
* Even though Goldeen uses {{m|Splash}} in all three Super Smash Bros. games, it has no way of learning the move in any Pokémon game.

===Origin===
Goldeen is based on a {{wp|goldfish}}. The horn part may be based on Matsya, an avatar that the hindu god {{wp|Vishnu}} assumed, which is sometimes depicted as a fish with a horn.

====Name origin====
Goldeen may be a combination of ''goldfish'' and ''queen''.

Tosakinto is derived from とさきん ''tosakin'', a kind of goldfish.

'''Seadra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シードラ''' ''Seadra'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Horsea}} starting at [[level]] 32, and evolves into {{p|Kingdra}} when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Dragon Scale}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Seadra is a primarily blue {{wp|seahorse}} Pokémon. It has {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of a head and a base| no arms or legs}}. It has a long snout and a number of spikes on its head, on the sides and on the top. Its torso is covered with rough, cream-colored scales. Seadra's pectoral fins have sharp, pointed, cream-colored tips from which it exudes venom. It also has a large tail, which is generally coiled up.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
It is capable of swimming backwards while facing forward. Despite being a pure {{type|Water}}, it is capable of learning several {{type|Dragon}} moves.

Although Seadra is not fully-evolved, it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}, since it was fully-evolved in [[Generation I]].

===Behavior===
Seadra can swim facing backwards by rapidly flapping its fins and its coiled tail. They will find coral reefs to sleep in. They catch their prey by spinning their body to create large {{m|whirlpool}}s which tire their foes. Seadra then swallow the victim whole using their long snout.

After the female Seadra gives birth, the male Seadra will take care of the young and its nest. It will viciously attack those who venture too near to its children.

Seadra also contains a gene which its {{p|Horsea|pre-evolution}} did not carry. Whether this gene contributes to its {{t|Poison}} or {{t|Dragon}} attributes is unclear.

===Habitat===
[[File:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Seadra sleeps after wriggling itself between the branches of coral. It can be found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Unknown.

[[Cissy]] used a Seadra while Ash was participating in her target test in ''[[EP085|Fit to be Tide]]''. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Seadra's first appearance was under the ownership of [[Fergus]] and was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}} in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. The Seadra clone is seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

Seadra also appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Silver}} had a Seadra as a part of his team, although it was not shown at the time. During the events of {{PAV|9}}, Silver secretly sends Seadra to {{adv|Gold}} via trade for his [[Polibo|Poliwhirl]], triggering Seadra's evolution into {{p|Kingdra}}, upon which it was finally shown attacking {{DL|Gold (Adventures)|Sudobo}}.
[[File:Yellow Seadra Poké Ball.png|thumb|175px|Yellow's Seadra]]
In [[PS043|Sea Sea Seadra]], A Seadra attacked [[Bill]] as he made his way through [[Viridian Forest]]. It managed to suck him into a {{m|Whirlpool}}, But it was caught by {{adv|Yellow}} with the help of [[Pika]]. She released it after she healed it.

==Trivia==
* Seadra is the only non-{{t|Poison}} Pokémon that can have {{a|Poison Point}} as an [[Ability]].
* Seadra, {{p|Cascoon}}, {{p|Vigoroth}}, and {{p|Swadloon}} are the only Pokémon who lose one of their pre-evolution's Ability, then regain it upon evolution to their final form.
* Although it is not a {{type|Dragon}}, Seadra is classified as the Dragon Pokémon. It shares this trait with its pre-evolved form, {{p|Horsea}}.
** It does, however become part {{type|Dragon}} when it {{p|Kingdra|evolves}}.
* As of [[Generation V]], Seadra's [[Effort values|EV Yield]] (1 Defense, 1 Sp. Atk) is unique.
===Origin===
Seadra is based on a {{wp|seahorse}}, though its ability to shoot ink resembles that of a {{wp|squid}}. The fact that it's known as the Dragon Pokémon might be a reference to {{wp|Leafy sea dragon}}s.

====Name origin====
Seadra may be a combination of ''sea'' and ''dragon''. ''Dra'' could also derive from ''{{wp|Lernaean Hydra|hydra}}'', a mythological sea creature.

'''Kangaskhan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガルーラ''' ''Garura'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Kangaskhan are a kangaroo-like Pokémon with vaguely theropod-like features. They are large, {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|bipedal}} creatures with a thick tail. Kangaskhan are colored brown with accentuations of cream on their horn-like ears and belly, and black on the helmet-like patch on their head. Kangaskhan have red irises, fangs protruding from their upper jaw, epaulette-like patches on their shoulders, and square patches on their legs. Kangaskhan also have various ridges and patches down their back and two spikes on their tail. Kangaskhan carry around a little purple baby Kangaskhan in their pouch. The baby Kangaskhan lacks the ridges and patches on its mother’s body, and its small fangs are not visible outside of its mouth.
====Gender differences====
Kangaskhan is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

===Special abilities===
Kangaskhan can use the move {{m|Outrage}}, which can normally only be learned by {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. She has a fighting spirit that is nearly indestructible, therefore she will never give up in battle. Kangaskhan are skilled at using {{m|Comet Punch}} and {{m|Dizzy Punch}}.

===Behavior===
Kangaskhan are very nurturing to their young and other Kangaskhan. However, if anyone tries to touch or harm their young the parent Kangaskhan will viciously attack the person trying to harm the baby Kangaskhan. When its mother is executing a move or striking a pose, the baby may imitate her actions. To avoid crushing the baby Kangaskhan that she carries in her pouch, she always sleeps standing up.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Kangaskhan appear mostly in jungle-like areas. They have been imported to {{safari|Kanto|Kanto}}, {{safari|Johto|Johto}} and [[Great Marsh|Sinnoh]] for their respective Safari Zones. Following the closure of the Kanto Safari Zone, they appear to have been introduced to the [[Rock Tunnel]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Kangaskhan debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]''.

Kangaskhan is grateful and leaves; Blue watched this in amazement, but was still angry at Red for allowing Kangaskhan to escape, thus starting their [[rival|rivalry]].

==Trivia==
* Kangaskhan is one of the few [[Generation I]] Pokémon that, as of [[Generation V]], still have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Ditto}}, and {{p|Aerodactyl}}.
* The [[glitch Pokémon]] [['M]] evolves into Kangaskhan. This is due to Kangaskhan's [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)|position in the game's internal programming]].
* Kangaskhan is the last non-legendary Pokémon in the Fiore Browser.
* Even with the advent of {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[baby Pokémon]], the baby Kangaskhan has yet to be made into a separate Pokémon, and as a result, all Kangaskhan are born with a baby already in their pouch.
** This is similar to what happens when a {{p|Chansey}}/{{p|Blissey}} breeds (without holding a {{DL|Incense|Luck Incense}}), as the offspring will have an {{pkmn|Egg}}, already in its pouch.
* Although Kangaskhan is an all female species, prior to the gender system being implemented a Pokédex entry in Pokémon Stadium indicated the presence of both male and female Kangaskhan.
** A slightly altered version of this entry is used in FireRed, however the entry still indicates there are Kangaskhan of both genders.
** A Baby Kangaskhan seen in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go Getters Out of the Gate!]]'' has a male voice.
===Origin===

Kangaskhan is based on a {{wp|kangaroo}}.

====Name origin====
Kangaskhan is a combination of ''{{wp|kangaroo}}'' and ''{{wp|Genghis Khan}}'', who was a founder of the Mongol Empire. This possibly is in reference to how her Pokédex data refers to how violently protective she is of her child. Notably, Genghis Khan was a male, but Kangaskhan is a female-only species.

Garura is derived from カンガルー (kangaroo) and ルーラー (ruler).

'''Tangela''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モンジャラ''' ''Monjara'') is a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Tangrowth}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|AncientPower}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Tangela is covered with thick blue vines that obscure its face so only its eyes can be seen. The vines give it a round shape, although it is unknown what it looks like without them. The vines are covered in fine hair. It has a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of a head and legs|pair of red boot-like feet}}, but no visible arms.

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

===Special abilities===
Tangela's vines never stop growing and are easily replaced if lost or damaged. Tangela can ensnare and entangle its foes with its vines.

===Behavior===
Its thick blue vines are constantly jiggling and swaying. This appears to be a defensive technique, as the movement unnerves enemies and deters herbivores that might mistake Tangela for a shrub. Any moving object that gets too close to a Tangela will be {{m|constrict|ensnared}} by its vines. This also appears to be a defensive technique, because Tangela's vines will snap off easily and painlessly if the target pulls on them, suggesting that the ensnaring is intended to scare off potential predators.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Tangela can usually be found on the edge of many grassy plains, be it near a mountain range or the ocean. However, they can also be found in large forests or the jungle on some occasions. They are most common in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], and can also be found in the [[Sevii Islands]]. They have also been introduced to the [[Great Marsh]] in [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Tangela was originally known as "Meduza," a misspelling of the Greek mythological character {{wp|Medusa (mythology)|Medusa}}.
* Tangela is the first pure {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
** Tangela is also the only pure Grass-type Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]]. Others are either part {{t|Psychic}}-,{{t|Bug}}- or part {{type|Poison}}.
* Up until [[Generation IV]], Tangela was the only Generation I Grass-type not to have any evolutionary relatives.
* Although it is said to live in plains, its [[Friend Area]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] is the {{fa|Jungle}}. Also, its [[List of Pokémon by Pal Park location|Pal Park area]] is the Forest.
* Tangela and {{p|Tropius}} are the only two Pokémon that are not {{pkmn2|starter}}s or [[legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] of a previous generation unavailable in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. They must be transferred forward from a [[Generation III]] game or traded from {{game|Platinum}}.
* Despite being made of vines, in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, it could not learn {{m|Vine Whip}}. This was rectified in {{game|Yellow}}.

===Origin===
Tangela is probably based on {{wp|Medusa (mythology)|Medusa}}, a {{wp|gorgon}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}}, who had a head of snakes and turned any creature that saw her into stone. The tentacles on Tangela, however, are {{wp|vine}}s. Its Crystal sprite shows it curling into a ball, meaning it may also have design elements from {{wp|tumbleweed}} or bird-cage plants. It may also be based on a {{wp|Green Man}}, a motif that is represented as a face surrounded by leaves and vines.

====Name origin====
Tangela may be a combination of ''tangle'' and ''{{wp|Medusa}}'' (referring to its vines resembling a snake hairstyle like Medusa's).

Monjara may be based on もじゃもじゃ ''mojyamojya'' (''shaggy'' or ''unkempt''). It may also be a combination of ''mojyamojya'' and ''monster''.

'''Chansey''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラッキー''' ''Lucky'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

She [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Happiny}} when [[level]]ed up holding an {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Oval Stone}} during the day and evolves into {{p|Blissey}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Chansey have pink, egg-shaped bodies. They have hair-like outgrowths on the side of their heads instead of the pigtail they had as a {{p|Happiny}}. Chansey have {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|stubby limbs and have grown a short tail}}. Chansey's lower body is fully developed and they now have a pouch that holds an egg.

====Gender differences====
Chansey is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

===Special abilities===
Chansey, and her evolved form, {{p|Blissey}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Softboiled}} by leveling up. However, {{p|Mew}} could learn it from a TM in [[Generation I]], while members of the {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Togepi}} families can be tutored the move in [[Generation III]].

===Behavior===
Extremely rare in the wild, Chansey is said to bring friendship and extremely good luck to those who are lucky enough to capture her. Chansey lays several eggs each day. The egg is extremely nutritious and tasty. A kindhearted and charitable Pokémon, Chansey will share her eggs with injured Pokémon she may come across. However, she will not share her egg with anyone who has evil in his or her heart.
Chansey walks carefully to protect her egg from damage, but can be startlingly fast when she must run from danger.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Chansey was originally known as "Lucky", which also happens to be her romanized Japanese name.
* In Generation III, Chansey and her evolution {{p|Blissey}} had the highest base [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon.
** In Generation IV, this attribute is further shared with her pre-evolution {{p|Happiny}}, as well as {{p|Arceus}}.
** In Generation V, Chansey no longer has the highest yield, as Blissey's yield was greatly increased.
* Chansey is one of five Pokémon that initially did not evolve into or from another Pokémon, but now is part of a three-stage evolutionary line (the other four being {{p|Electabuzz}}, {{p|Magmar}}, {{p|Porygon}} and {{p|Roselia}}). While Electabuzz and Magmar gained a pre-evolution in [[Generation II]] and an evolution in [[Generation IV]], Chansey did the reverse, gaining her evolution first.
** Chansey is the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to be related by evolution to Pokémon from two different generations to her own.
* Chansey, and her evolution family have the most in-game items associated with them. This includes: [[Lucky Punch]], [[Lucky Egg]], {{DL|Incense|Luck Incense}}, and the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Oval Stone}}.
* Chansey shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Exeggcute}}. They are both known as the Egg Pokémon.
* In Generation II, when breeding was introduced, and beyond, Chansey hatch from an Egg with an egg already in their pouch. The same oddity occurs with {{p|Kangaskhan}}, which hatch with a baby in their pouches, and {{p|Happiny}}, which hatch with a rock in their pouches.
** Her {{v2|Platinum}} Pokédex entry states that she lays eggs, confirming that Pokémon are able to do so (as it has been mentioned that nobody has seen Pokémon lay eggs); however, these eggs are apparently not Chansey or Happiny Eggs, but eggs that are high in nutrition instead. Theoretically, these eggs could possibly be unfertilized Chansey or Happiny Eggs. However, these eggs do not match the color scheme of Eggs in the games, or Happiny Eggs in the anime.

===Origin===
Her tendency to carry eggs in a pouch is very {{wp|monotreme}}- or {{wp|marsupial}}-like. She may also just be based on a general concept of females and motherhood. As her Pokédex entries mention her tendency to lay nutritious eggs everyday, Chansey may also be based on chickens or other poultry fowls.

====Name origin====
Chansey is a corruption of ''chance'' and ''chancy''. It may refer to Chansey's rarity and/or the chance of a successful catch.

Lucky is literally ''lucky'', for the same possible reason.

'''Rhyhorn''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サイホーン''' ''Sihorn'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Rock}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Rhydon}} starting at [[level]] 42, which evolves into {{p|Rhyperior}} when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Protector}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rhyhorn is a small rhinoceros-like creature with a body consisting of gray, rocky plates. It has a ridge on its back, and visible fangs protruding from its upper jaw. Rhyhorn has {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|four short legs}} with two claws. Its head is triangle-shaped with a single, short horn. Rhyhorn has small triangular openings on the sides of its head, which can be presumed to be ears.

====Gender differences====
A female has a shorter horn.

===Special abilities===
Rhyhorn's most well known method of attack is to charge straight into things. A charging Rhyhorn can knock a trailer flying. Rhyhorn can also use various {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ground}} attacks. They can learn [[special move|special attacks]], but these types of attacks are not very strong when used by Rhyhorn. Rhyhorn are one of the few Pokémon capable of learning {{m|Megahorn}}.

===Behavior===
According to earlier entries in the Pokédex, Rhyhorn is actually brainless. This perception was, most likely, not meant to be taken literally. This conclusion of brainlessness was most likely derived from Rhyhorn’s exceedingly unintelligent methods of battle. Rhyhorn’s animal instinct is simply to charge at any enemy or barrier that threatens its well-being. The species is also perceived to have a very short memory, and is seemingly often confused by circumstances it directly influenced. It is popularly believed that they are only able to remember one thing at a time. Despite their severe setbacks in intelligence, they have been recorded as being surprisingly perceptive once captured.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Rhyhorn live in open plains and mountain ranges. They are often found in [[Kanto]] & the [[Battle Zone]] and occasionally in [[Sinnoh]]. They have also been imported to the [[Hoenn]] [[Hoenn Safari Zone|Safari Zone]].

===Diet===

==Trivia==
* Since they are included in the Sinnoh Pokédex in {{game|Platinum}}, Rhyhorn and {{p|Rhydon}} have appeared in every Japan-centric Regional Pokédex.
*In the games, Rhyhorn has the exact same [[cry]] as {{p|Charizard}}.
* Rhyhorn's evolution line are the only Pokémon with the {{2t|Rock|Ground}} combination to have Ground as its primary type.

===Origin===
Its design appears to be inspired by an {{wp|Indian rhinoceros}}, with similar plated armor, and an {{wp|Uintatherium}} from whom it may have taken its flat head and horn, with elements of a {{wp|triceratops}}.

====Name origin====
Rhyhorn may be a combination of ''{{wp|rhinoceros}}'' and ''horn''. ''Rhy'' may also derive from the {{wp|igneous rock}} called ''{{wp|rhyolite}}'', alluding to its Ground/Rock typing.

Sihorn is a combination of 犀 ''sai'' (rhinoceros) and ''horn''.

'''Hitmonchan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エビワラー''' ''Ebiwalar'') is a {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.

He [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Tyrogue}} starting at [[level]] 20 when Tyrogue's {{stat|Defense}} is higher than his {{stat|Attack}}. He is one of {{p|Tyrogue}}'s [[Hitmons|final forms]], the others being {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Hitmonchan is a tan colored, {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailless form|human-shaped}} Pokémon. His body resembles a light purple tunic with a kilt and fists resemble red boxing gloves. His enlarged shoulders give the appearance of shoulder pads. His purple feet give the appearance of a pair of a {{wp|boxer}} shoes. Unlike his parallel evolution, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, he has a mouth and a visible separation between body and head.

====Gender differences====
Hitmonchan is a male-only species with no female counterpart.

===Special abilities===
Hitmonchan's most notable ability is his wide versatility in boxing. His major attacks are almost all punches, making use of the boxing gloves that protect his fists. He used to be [[signature move|the only Pokémon]] who could learn all {{m|ThunderPunch|three}} {{m|Fire Punch|elemental}} {{m|Ice Punch|punches}}.

Hitmonchan are well known for their capability of {{m|Mach Punch|lightning-fast punches}} that are {{m|Bullet Punch|faster than bullet trains}} and {{m|Vacuum Wave|impossible to be seen by the naked human eye}}. When doing this, they sometimes appear as if they are standing still, as the assault is too fast to be seen.

Although they have an extremely well developed talent in {{m|Comet Punch|quick, light blows}}, Hitmonchan can also throw {{m|Mega Punch|power-}}{{m|Focus Punch|packed}} {{m|Close Combat|punches}}. By punching in corkscrew fashion, they are able to punch through solid concrete in the same way as a drill. Like most {{t|Fighting}} Pokémon, he can also learn some {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ground}} moves.

Before attacking a target, Hitmonchan will spin his arms to increase the power of his attacks. Both his speed and power punches slice the air, and are launched at such a high speed, just a slight graze by one can cause a burn.

===Behavior===
It is widely said that Hitmonchan possesses the spirit of a professional boxer working towards the world championship. With an indomitable spirit pushing him to work harder, he never gives up, especially in the face of adversity. However, he usually needs a short break after each fight he takes part in.

Hitmonchan are known to casually practice and hone their abilities by launching unseen volleys of punches. Since they are not normally found in the wild, it can be hard to determine their behavior without a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s influence. When under the possession of a Trainer, however, a Hitmonchan will eventually take after the person, as most Pokémon do; he may become a hard worker, striving to become better, or he might fight for bad purposes without question.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Hitmonchan are extremely rare in the wild, and have virtually never been seen. He is an urban species that would typically be found near cities or suburbs rather than in forests. But, some Hitmonchan have been known to train in the mountains or at facilities made for such work, such as an abandoned fighting dojo. While it is unknown where they came from originally, they were first found in [[Kanto]].

==Trivia==
* Hitmonchan learns the most increased-priority moves by level up out of all Pokémon, with six.
* Hitmonchan and {{p|Hitmonlee}} are the only Pokémon that weren't previously related through an evolution family, then later gained a shared {{p|Tyrogue|pre-evolution}}.
* Hitmonchan's colors reference the traditional boxing colors, referring to the red corner (normal) and the blue corner ({{Shiny}}).

===Origin===
He may be a personification of {{wp|boxing}}, a fighting style and sport that focuses on punching. His head and "hair" slightly resembles a human hand.

====Name origin====
Hitmonchan is a combination of ''hit'', ''monster'', and ''Chan'' (a reference to {{wp|Jackie Chan}}), perhaps meaning "the monster that hits like Jackie Chan". The name is also related to {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}, both of which are parallel evolutions to it as of [[Generation II]].

Ebiwalar is derived from the Japanese world champion boxer, {{wp|Hiroyuki Ebihara}}.

'''Hitmonlee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サワムラー''' ''Sawamular'') is a {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.

He [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Tyrogue}} starting at [[level]] 20 when Tyrogue's {{stat|Attack}} is higher than his {{stat|Defense}}. He is one of {{p|Tyrogue}}'s [[Hitmons|final forms]], the others being {{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Hitmonlee is a Pokémon shaped similar to both a human and an egg. Primarily brown, Hitmonlee has cream-colored, segmented {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailless form|arms and legs}}, with three fingers and three claw-like toes respectively. The muscles on his legs are akin to a coiled spring, being able to freely expand and contract. These muscles are more accurate than his arms, allowing him to perform powerful knee and kick attacks. Hitmonlee has almond-shaped eyes with black rings around them, and his feet have yellow coloration on their ankles and soles. He appears to lack a nose and mouth.

====Gender differences====
Hitmonlee is a male-only species with no female counterpart.

===Special abilities===
Hitmonlee possesses a considerable sense of balance, enabling him to kick in succession from any position. When kicking, the sole of his foot turns as hard as a diamond on impact. Hitmonlee knows several kick-based moves, including the rarely seen {{m|Blaze Kick}}. His leg muscles have the special ability to freely stretch and compress. Hitmonlee also has a few mental-based moves such as {{m|Meditate}} and {{m|Mind Reader}}. As with other {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon, Hitmonlee is capable of a few {{type|Rock}} moves and {{m|Earthquake}}.

Hitmonlee is one of the [[Signature move|very few Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, and is the [[Signature move|only Pokémon]] to learn {{m|Mega Kick}} via level-up.

===Behavior===
When in a hurry, his legs lengthen progressively. He can run smoothly with long, loping strides. After battle, he rubs down his legs and loosens the muscles to overcome fatigue.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Hitmonlee have become domesticated, and therefore live around large cities. They are first documented in [[Kanto]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Unknown.

==In the anime==
[[File:Barry Hitmonlee.png|right|250px|thumb|Hitmonlee in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Hitmonlee first appeared in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. {{TRT}} stole him from a man named [[Giant]] in order to compete in the [[P1 Grand Prix]]. The Kicking Pokémon defeated [[Brock's Geodude]], and {{ka|Anthony}}'s {{p|Hitmonchan}} (by cheating) and lost fair and square to [[Ash's Primeape]].

==Trivia==
* Hitmonlee and {{p|Hitmonchan}} are the only Pokémon that weren't previously related through an evolution family, then later gained a shared {{p|Tyrogue|pre-evolution}}.
* Despite his {{game|Crystal}} Pokédex entry stating that he can execute every known kick, Hitmonlee cannot learn {{m|Triple Kick}}, due to the fact that the move is exclusive to {{p|Hitmontop}}.
** Before [[Generation IV]], it could not learn {{m|Blaze Kick}}, {{p|Blaziken}}'s [[signature move]] at the time.
* In {{game|Platinum}}, Hitmonlee is one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex, and not introduced in Generation IV, to have a new sprite. {{p|Muk}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Oddish}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Primeape}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are the others. {{p|Mareep}}, {{p|Natu}}, {{p|Xatu}}, {{p|Forretress}}, and {{p|Ursaring}} had their color palettes changed.
* Despite using an opposite style of fighting to Hitmonchan, kicking instead of punching, he can still learn multiple punching moves through breeding.
* Hitmonlee has had more [[signature move]]s {{m|Mega Kick|than}} {{m|Jump Kick|any}} {{m|Hi Jump Kick|other}} {{m|Rolling Kick|Pokémon}}.

===Origin===
Hitmonlee may be a personification of {{wp|taekwondo}}, a sport that focuses on kick attacks. Hitmonlee bears resemblance to {{wp|Blemmyes (legendary creatures)|Blemmyes}} due to his lack of an actual head. The overall shape of his body also resembles a human foot. He may also represent {{wp|Tadashi Sawamura}}. When looking to the japanese names of his Abilities: [[Limber (ability)|Flexible]], [[Reckless (ability)|Life-Risking]] and [[Unburden (ability)|Acrobatics]], Hitmonlee may also be based on an {{wp|acrobatics|acrobat}}.

====Name origin====
Hitmonlee is a combination of ''hit'', ''monster'', and ''Lee'' (a reference to {{wp|Bruce Lee}}), perhaps meaning "the monster that hits like Bruce Lee". The name is also related to {{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}, both of which are parallel evolutions to it as of [[Generation II]].

Sawamular is derived from the world's first kickboxer, {{wp|Tadashi Sawamura}}.

'''Marowak''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガラガラ''' ''Garagara'') is a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Cubone}} starting at [[level]] 28.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
After its evolution from {{p|Cubone}}, Marowak is much larger and more powerful. Marowak has a spike located on its tail, but no longer has the two spikes on its back. On its stomach, Marowak is very light brown in color, as opposed to most of the rest of its body, which is a darker brown. Unlike Cubone, Marowak’s head is now composed of the skull it once wore as a mask. Marowak can no longer remove the skull, as it is now a direct body part. Marowak’s jaw is composed of bone, dissimilarly to Cubone, and its nostrils are located on the nose of the skull. Its eyes are now brown, and are also located on the skull. Despite the many changes upon evolution from Cubone, Marowak remains {{dl|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|bipedal}}.

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

===Special abilities===
Marowak are well known for ferocity with their bone clubs, from which they derive their title as the Bone Keeper Pokémon. Because Marowak has a limited pool of abilities, the species became well acquainted with using bones are weapons. Often in battle, Marowak will viciously swing the bone at foes, and they have been known to throw the bones like boomerangs for long range attack. Marowak also retains Cubone’s ability to learn {{t|Ice}}- and {{type|Fire}} attacks through [[TM|Technical Machines]], and is notorious for having a very high defense. Also, Marowak, and its pre-evolution, {{p|Cubone}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Bone Club}} and {{m|Bonemerang}}.

===Behavior===
Upon evolution, Marowak has overcome the grief of its mother's passing. Now ferocious and violent, Marowak is an adept combatant, and uses the bone it carries as a weapon and a boomerang. Marowak have also been recorded pounding on boulders with the bone club it carries in order to tap out messages to others.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Being a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon, Marowak lives in mountains to test their skills. One is likely to encounter a Marowak in [[Kanto]], although they have been found in [[Johto]] and [[Unova]] as well.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Unknown.

==In the anime==
[[File:Jeffrey Marowak.png|220px|right|thumb|Marowak in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Marowak first appeared in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'' under the ownership of [[Otoshi]], who had recently got his Gym [[Badge]]s stolen by {{TRT}}. The Marowak left Otoshi because it felt that if he lost his Badges, he lost the respect Marowak had for him. Marowak finally decided to come back and help its {{pkmn|Trainer}} when he battled Team Rocket to get his Badges back.

[[Luana]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Kumquat Island]], used a Marowak and an {{p|Alakazam}} against [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Charizard}} in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''.

In ''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch!]]'', [[Oriba]] used a Marowak in a fake tournament that was created by Team Rocket.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]]: Marowak was killed by agents of [[Team Rocket]], leaving a {{p|Cubone}} as an orphan. With the [[Silph Scope]], its ghost could be seen in [[Pokémon Tower]]. It can only be caught by using a cheating device. After fainting in a battle, a message will pop up saying that the Marowak's soul has finally moved on to the afterlife. This message, however, still shows up even if the player actually caught the Marowak with a Gameshark or Action Replay given that the Marowak is not supposed to be catch-able.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: Marowak runs a [[Marowak Dojo|training dojo]] the same way {{p|Makuhita}} had [[Makuhita Dojo|one]] in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|first series]].

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Marowak was originally known as "Guardia". This is the Spanish word for ''guardian''.
* When holding the {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Thick Club}}, Marowak can reach a maximum {{stat|Attack}} stat of 568. This is the highest attack stat obtainable without the assistance of {{DL|stats|stat modifiers}}, abilities or items with adverse effects.
** In [[Generation II]] Marowak's attack would roll-over from 999 to 33 if Swords Dance was used to double this. This has been fixed in later generations.
* Until the release of {{p|Lucario}} (which can learn {{m|Bone Rush}}) in [[Generation IV]], Marowak had three [[signature move]]s, tying with {{p|Porygon}} for the most signature moves.
* According to some of Marowak's [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} Pokédex entries, somewhere exists a legendary Marowak graveyard. This is a reference to the {{wp|Elephant's graveyard}} of modern myth.

===Origin===
Marowak is reptilian in nature and may be based on bipedal dinosaurs.
====Name origin====
Marowak is a combination of ''{{wp|marrow}}'' and ''whack''.

Garagara may be taken to mean がらがら (clattering). It is worth noting that ''garagara'' denotes heavier clattering than からから ''{{p|Cubone|karakara}}''.

'''Cubone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラカラ''' ''Karakara'') is a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Marowak}} starting at [[level]] 28.

==Biology==
[[File:Bandai Cubone card.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Cubone with its face partially revealed]]
===Physiology===
Cubone is a small Pokémon that {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|stands up on two legs}}. Its golden-brown hide covers its arms, legs, tail, and most of its body, including both dorsal spikes. Cubone’s belly is a very light brown. Two small claws, one on each hand, serve as thumbs for Cubone, and two large nails make up its toes. On its head, Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother, so much of its actual face has never actually been seen. The skull is worn like a helmet in such a way that the only visible part of Cubone’s face is its eyes and a small area surrounding them. Cubone's eyes are triangular and white with black irises. The skull has two rounded horns on the top of its head, and under the skull, Cubone has a brown snout, with two fangs protruding from its mouth.

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

===Special abilities===
The exceedingly small Cubone survives only through the immense skill it possesses in wielding its bone as a weapon. Though a naturally simple Pokémon, Cubone can be taught {{t|Ice}}- and {{type|Fire}} attacks through the technology of [[TM|Technical Machines]]. Cubone is a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon, however the only Ground-type attacks Cubone learns by leveling up are {{m|Bone Club}}, {{m|Bonemerang}}, and {{m|Bone Rush}}, which are all exclusive to Cubone and its evolution {{p|Marowak}}, except for Bone Rush which can also be learned by {{p|Lucario}} and {{p|Mandibuzz}}.

===Behavior===
It is called the Lonely Pokémon because of its tendency to keep to itself and avoid sociality. It was apparently traumatized by the death of its mother, and has now entirely removed itself from society. Cubone will often weep at night in mourning of its mother. When Cubone cries, the skull that it wears on its head vibrates and emits “a plaintive and mournful sound.” On the night of a full moon, the cries are said to be especially terrible. Cubone seems to recognize its mother in the moon, and so it howls with a particular sadness.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Cubone live in rocky areas, usually on mountains or in caves. They also once inhabited the Pokémon Tower in {{to|Lavender}} Town where deceased Pokémon were buried and mourned. It is infamous for seclusion and clandestine activity, so sightings are obviously very rare, limiting information about Cubone and its preferred habitat. It is known that Cubone is predominantly a [[Kanto]]-native Pokémon, but sightings in [[Sinnoh]] have been reported as well.

A Cubone is seen with [[Kai Midorikawa]] during the baseball match that took place in ''[[PM021|Fierce Competition at the Pokémon Baseball Tournament!]]''.

[[Isamu Akai]] caught a Cubone prior to [[PM042]].

Giovanni's Cubone was used in the Gym battle against Isamu Akai.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
In the {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium 2|stage}} stage, a Cubone can be seen on the {{t|Ground}} Terrain standing atop the highest platform built into a rock. {{p|Dugtrio}} and Pokémon [[Fossil]]s can also be seen on the Ground Terrain.

==== Trophy Information ====

''"A Lonely Pokémon. It wears its mother's skull as a helmet--for this reason, no one has ever seen its face. It sometimes sees its departed mother's face in the full moon, which causes it to grow sad and cry. The stains on the skull are tracks of its tears. When it cries, the skull shakes and emits a mournful sound. When it levels up, it evolves into Marowak."''

==Merchandise==
Cubone was one of the first four Pokémon designs revealed when the [[Pokémon 151]] brand was first announced. In the shirt design, Cubone's skull is in the center of the shirt, with two {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Thick Club}}s in crossing below it.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Cubone was originally known as "Orphon," a corruption of the word "orphan," based on its abandonment at birth.
* Cubone is [[Midori Harada]]'s favorite Pokémon.
* Despite the Pokédex's statement that it wears the skull of its dead mother, Cubone can be [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] in the games with no ill effects on its mother. This is due to Cubone being created before breeding in the games was possible.
* Cubone is one of the Pokémon that appears in the [[Pokémon 151]] clothing line.
* Despite not being a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, it is still encountered as a [[literal ghost|ghost]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] without the aid of a [[Silph Scope]].

===Origin===
Cubone is possibly based on a dinosaur or a dinosaur fossil, and, like dinosaurs, nobody has ever seen a Cubone's real face; only its mother's skull. It also could be based off of primitive cultures that wore bones for decoration and used them for weapons.

====Name origin====
Cubone may be a combination of ''cute'' and ''bone'', ''cub'' and ''bone'', or ''{{wp|Billiard ball|cue ball}}'' (a reference to its pale white head or that its bone resembles a billiards or snooker cue) and ''bone''. It could also be a combination of the Latin word ''cubo'' (recluse) and ''bone''; this can refer to its lonely nature.

Karakara may be taken to mean からから (clattering). It is worth noting that ''karakara'' denotes lighter clattering than がらがら ''{{p|Marowak|garagara}}''.

'''Exeggutor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナッシー''' ''Nassy'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Exeggcute}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Exeggutor is a tall Pokémon that strongly resembles a coconut or pineapple tree, but {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of a head and legs|it has legs}}. Its legs and body resembles a tree trunk, and its legs are thick with two-toed feet and a light-yellow colored paw pad on the foot's underside. It has leaves sprouting from the top of its body, and Exeggutor has three to six round, light yellow heads that resemble coconuts. Similar to Exeggcute, each has varying facial expressions.

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

===Special abilities===
Exeggutor, and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Exeggcute}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Barrage}}. Aside from this, it has mostly the same abilities that most {{t|Grass}}- and {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon possess. Stated from their [[Pokédex]] entries, if one head grows too large, it falls off and will group back together to become an Exeggcute.

===Behavior===
Each head thinks independently of the others. Because of this, it makes a lot of noise as each head speaks its mind.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Exeggutor live in forests and jungles. Its range is basically the same as {{p|Exeggcute}}.

===Diet===

Ash battled an Exeggutor in his first battle in the [[Indigo League]] in ''[[EP075|Round One - Begin!]]''. Despite the type disadvantage and the lack of experience, [[Ash's Kingler|Ash's Krabby]] defeated [[Mandi]]'s Exeggutor, evolving into Kingler in the process. It reappeared in a flashback in [[EP076|the following episode]] and in another flashback in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Exeggutor first appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]''.

Multiple {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|Pink Pokémon|pink}} Exeggutor resided on the [[Pinkan Island]] in ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]''.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', [[Rudy]] used an Exeggutor against [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Bulbasaur managed to defeat it, but it also saved the Coconut Tree Pokémon from falling down a cliff.

Multiple Exeggutor also appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.

An Exeggutor appeared in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]''

Two Exeggutor made cameo appearances in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

Prior to {{PAV|23}}, [[Bill]]'s {{p|Exeggcute}} has evolved into Exeggutor. It was seen in [[Icefall Cave]] being targeted at by Blue, testing out the [[Vs. Seeker]].

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
Giovanni sends out Exeggutor to prevent Isamu from interfering with his plans on creating Mewtwo.

An Exeggutor is seen with Isamu during the curry cooking competition that went on in ''[[PM027|Curry Showdown! Which is the Most Delicious?]]''.

[[Will]] has an Exeggutor which was used against Isamu in his challenge of the Johto Elite Four in [[PM106]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Exeggutor 5 heads.png|thumb|An Exeggutor with five heads]]
[[File:JPJungleBoosterbox.jpg|thumb|An elongated Exeggutor]]
* Exeggutor is one of five Pokémon with seven weaknesses, the others being {{p|Exeggcute|its pre-evolution}}, as well as {{p|Snover}} and {{p|Abomasnow}}, and the {{pkmn2|legendary}} {{p|Celebi}}.
* Two of {{Ash}}'s Pokémon in the anime have evolved after fighting and defeating Exeggutor. [[Ash's Charmander]] evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} after defeating several Exeggutor, with some help from [[Melvin]]'s fire power. Later on, [[Ash's Krabby]] evolved into Kingler after defeating [[Mandi]]'s Exeggutor in the first round of the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].
* Exeggutor and {{p|Roserade}} are tied for the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.
* Exeggutor is [[Tsunekaz Ishihara]]'s favorite Pokémon. He used it all throughout the debugging and testing of {{game|Red and Green|s}}.
* Despite what its Pokédex entries would imply, Exeggutor have been seen with more than three heads on multiple occasions.
* The artwork for the Japanese [[Jungle (TCG)]] booster box depicts Exeggutor with an elongated body and no visible legs.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on a {{wp|coconut}} tree or a pineapple tree, or possibly the Japanese monster {{wp|Jinmenju}}, a tree that grows human heads (that are always smiling).

====Name origin====
Exeggutor is a combination of ''egg'' and ''executor''.

Nassy is derived from ココナッツ ''kokonattsu'' (coconuts) and 椰子 ''yashi'' (palm tree).

'''Exeggcute''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タマタマ''' ''Tamatama'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Exeggutor}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Exeggcute resemble six light pink eggs, usually seen arranged in the way of {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of multiple bodies|five heads huddled around a sixth}}. Each "head" has a slightly different facial expression, but each face has triangular eyes with tiny black pupils and a small mouth. Each of their shells have some cracks on them, and one member of the bundle usually has their yolk/brain exposed. Despite looking like eggs, Exeggcute are actually more closely related to plant seeds.

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

===Special abilities===
Exeggcute are capable of several {{t|Grass}}- and {{type|Psychic}} moves, like {{m|Dream Eater}}, which combines well with its two sleep moves, {{m|Sleep Powder}} and {{m|Hypnosis}}. Exeggcute use a special kind of telepathy that always makes them form groups of six.

Exeggcute, and its evolved form, {{p|Exeggutor}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Barrage}}.

===Behavior===
These Pokémon gather together in swarms of six. They communicate with each other by using a form of telepathy that only they can understand. Should the number of Exeggcute be reduced to less than six, the remaining Exeggcute will attempt to replace it with a similarly sized Pokémon, such as {{p|Togepi}}

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Exeggcute live in jungles and forests. They are most commonly-seen in [[Kanto]], but have also been seen in [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Unknown.

==In the anime==
[[File:Melvin Exeggcute.png|thumb|200px|right|Exeggcute in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Exeggcute's first major role was in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. The Egg Pokémon was owned by an incompetent magician named [[Melvin]]. Exeggcute managed to hypnotize {{Ash}} and Melvin forced Ash to capture a bunch of {{p|Exeggutor}}. Melvin's Exeggcute managed to [[evolution|evolve]], but without using a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}.

===Minor appearances===
Exeggcute first appeared in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''.

An Exeggcute was seen on a photo in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

An Exeggcute under the ownership of {{ka|Stella}} appeared in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]''.

Multiple Exeggcute were among the Pokémon seen at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]''.

Exeggcute also appeared in ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. {{AP|Pikachu}} and company, plus an {{p|Elekid}}, found [[Misty's Togepi]] hanging around an Exeggcute that was missing a member of its batch. It evolved when all the eggs were back together, standing on a Leaf Stone.

An Exeggcute appeared in ''[[EP156|The Psychic Sidekicks!]]''.

An Exeggcute appeared in ''[[EP229|An EGG-sighting Adventure!]]''.

An Exeggcute appeared in ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''.

==Trivia==
* Exeggcute is one of five Pokémon with seven weaknesses, the others being its evolution {{p|Exeggutor}}, {{p|Snover}} and {{p|Abomasnow}}, and the {{pkmn2|legendary}} {{p|Celebi}} (the last of which shares its type combination with Exeggcute and Exeggutor).
** Coincidentally, they are all of the {{t|Grass}} type.
* Exeggcute shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Chansey}}. They are both known as Egg Pokémon.
* In ''Pikachu's Rescue Adventure'', it is hinted that each of Exeggcute's members may have an individual sense of identity, even though they are all considered to be just one Pokémon.
* Unusually for {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, Exeggcute and {{p|Exeggutor}} are unable to learn {{m|Calm Mind}}.

===Origin===
Exeggcute appears to be a mixture of a batch of eggs and seeds, though it may have been inspired by the "Egg Yolk" {{wp|tomato}} or possibly a visual pun based on the {{wp|eggplant}}.

====Name origin====
Exeggcute is a combination of ''egg'' and ''execute''. It is may also be a play on the phrase "eggs are cute."

Tamatama could be taken to mean 偶々 (unexpectedly), although it is more likely to be derived from 玉 ''tama'' (sphere). It is worth noting that the Japanese word for egg is 卵 ''tamago''.

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=grass|type2=psychic
|ja=タマタマ ''Tamatama''|jameaning=From {{tt|玉 ''tama''|sphere}} or {{tt|卵 ''tamago''|egg}}.

'''Voltorb''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビリリダマ''' ''Biriridama'') is an {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Electrode}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Voltorb are spherical Pokémon with {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|no arms or legs}}. They look like a [[Poké Ball]] with a face, minus the button; their top half is red, while their bottom half is white. They were first seen in the plant where modern Poké Balls were invented. Voltorb and their evolution, {{p|Electrode}}, could be forms of energy, but it is unknown where that energy came from or how it created them. Because of the similarities with the Poké Ball, it has been suggested that Voltorb are [[artificial Pokémon]], created with some form of human involvement.

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

===Special abilities===
If agitated, Voltorb may {{m|Explosion|explode}}. They can also wield powerful {{type|Electric}} moves.

===Behavior===
Voltorb are easily agitated, and are known to {{m|Selfdestruct|self-destruct}} due to anger.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Voltorb are generally found in power plants and other areas with electric fields, and due to their volatile temper and habit of {{m|Explosion|exploding}} out of anger are generally considered pests. They are also found on farms guarding the crops and fruit there, and are usually painted the same color as the fruits they guard. It is common in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]], but has been seen in [[Sinnoh]] from time to time.

===Diet===

Unknown.

==In the anime==
[[File:Wattson Voltorb.png|200px|thumb|Voltorb in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Voltorb first appeared in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''. [[Koga]] kept a bunch of these in [[Fuchsia Gym|his Gym]] as booby traps.

Voltorb also appeared in ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]''. Team Rocket received them from the {{ka|Keith|Backpack-switching thief}}, thinking they were [[Poké Ball]]s with [[Rarity|rare]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in them, as well as their {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}. When Team Rocket found out they were not, the Voltorb started to {{m|Explosion|explode}} in their balloon. They dumped most of the Voltorb on the thief, prompting him to quit his crime spree, but a single Voltorb sent them blasting off.

A sole Voltorb lived amongst the Electrode in ''[[EP114|The Underground Round Up]]''. Although {{an|Misty}} was terrified of it, the {{type|Electric}} befriended her {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}}, and the [[Baby Pokémon]] was sad when it had to leave.

[[Wattson]] used a Voltorb in his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|Battle}} with {{Ash}} in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]''. It was easily defeated by [[Ash's Pikachu]], which had gotten super-charged during an incident at the [[Mauville Gym]].

Multiple Voltorb appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', two Voltorb attack {{an|May}} as they are trained to do so when anyone steps foot on [[Nicolette]]'s property.

==Trivia==
* Although Voltorb is an {{type|Electric}}, it could not learn any Electric attacks via level-up until [[Generation III]].
* Though it is said that Voltorb are often mistaken for [[Poké Ball]]s, Voltorb is over one foot in height, far larger than any modern Poké Ball.
* In the English and European versions of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a game called [[Voltorb Flip]] is introduced in place of [[slot machine]]s. The game is similar to Minesweeper, and largely focuses on flipping over cards to multiply the coins currently earned. Some cards, however, have Voltorb on them which will cause the player to lose [[coin]]s.
* Voltorb and Electrode exist in [[Oblivia]]'s past, despite both Pokémon being brought into origin in more recent times. Whether this was an oversight or not is unknown. A similar situation occurs with {{p|Porygon-Z}}.
* Due to their almost identical appearance, Voltorb was often confused with Electrode by the dub voice actors. The same situation happened with {{p|Poliwhirl}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}.

===Origin===
It seems to be based upon the concept of a living [[Poké Ball]] (with its Shiny form possibly being based on a Great Ball). The idea of them being mistaken for the standard Item Balls is similar to "Mimic" monsters found in other RPGs. Given its tendency to explode, it could also be based on a bomb. The design concept may be inheritance from the time when the franchise was known as [[Capsule Monsters]], as early artworks show Poké Balls without the button in the middle.

====Name origin====
Voltorb is a combination of ''volt'' and ''orb''.

Biriridama may be a combination of びりびり ''biribiri'' (like an electric shock) and 玉 ''tama'' (sphere).

'''Cloyster''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルシェン''' ''Parshen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shellder}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Cloyster has a large shell covered in spikes. Six of the spikes are long and conical, resembling turrets, and are used to protect its soft insides from foes. Cloyster has an inner, gray-colored layer inside its purple shell. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|"head"}} and face resemble a black pearl, and there is a jutting, horn-like white spike above its "head". Its face is similar to {{p|Gastly}}, though the two Pokémon are not related.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Cloyster have strong defenses and moderate offenses, both thanks to their sturdy shell. They fight by clamping their shell tightly shut while launching spikes from their shell to strike opponents.

===Behavior===
Cloyster are sneaky and clever Pokémon, viciously rushing at prey while shooting spikes. They fight roughly because of the hostile nature of their habitat and the protection of their shell, allowing them to withstand physical blows easily. Cloyster swim by means of propulsion, doing so by first swallowing water, and then jetting it out toward the rear. Cloyster may also shoot spikes from their shell using the same system.

===Habitat===
[[File:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Cloyster live deep under the sea, usually on the seabed or amongst coral and rocks. Their range is basically the same as {{p|Shellder}}'s.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Unknown.

==In the manga==
[[File:Lorelei Cloyster Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Cloyster in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}
First seen against {{adv|Yellow}} in conjunction with her {{p|Dewgong}}. Later, in the battle on [[Cerise Island]], it kept the voodoo dolls of {{adv|Green}} and [[Sabrina]] (which kept their arms bound by an ice cuff) safely out of reach while Lorelei {{pkmn|battle}}d them. Although it initially seemed that with Green out cold, Sabrina stood little chance, she feigned attacking repeatedly and slowly sapped Cloyster's strength using {{m|Mega Drain}}, eventually fainting it. Lorelei realized this, and quickly took back the dolls.

Cloyster reappeared again in Lorelei's attempt to defend [[Quest Island|Seven Island]]. It is then remarked that Cloyster is the strongest fighter Lorelei has in her arsenal due to the tough shell it possesses, said to withstand the damage of a Napalm Bomb. However, though they fought valiantly and pushed [[Sird]] to her limits, ultimately the insidious villain won by having her {{p|Starmie}} {{m|camouflage}} itself and attack where they couldn't defend.

The boss of Team Rocket, {{adv|Giovanni}}, is shown in several rounds using Cloyster. He used it to freeze two {{p|Magmar}} after having a chat with {{adv|Red}}. Then, when Red came to beat him, he used it to freeze [[Poli]].

In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Cloyster is drawn by [[Mato]] as having a blue marking like a jewel on its head, beneath the spike. The official art by [[Ken Sugimori]], however, does not. This is likely because the white circle seen on Cloyster's head in most early sprites was interpreted by Mato as a jewel, but was actually intended just to be glare. [[Satoshi Yamamoto]], who took over starting at {{PAV|10}}, did not make the same error.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}
[[Lorelei]]'s Cloyster is the first opponent {{Zensho|Satoshi}} faces in the Pokémon League.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on a {{wp|bivalve}}, more specifically the genus {{wp|spondylus}}, with a black {{wp|pearl}} as its head.

====Name origin====
Cloyster may be a combination of ''cloister'' (to seclude or shelter oneself) and ''{{wp|oyster}}''. It could also be a portmanteau of ''{{wp|clam}}'' and ''oyster'', as a pun on ''cloister''.

Parshen may be a combination of パール ''{{wp|pearl}}'' and シェル ''shell''.

'''Dodrio''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドードリオ''' ''Dodorio'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Doduo}} starting at [[level]] 31.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Dodrio resemble their {{p|Doduo|pre-evolution}}, but are noticeably larger, have gained three large pink tail feathers, and has gained an extra head. Each of its heads now also sport a black 'V'-shaped crest, and their eyes are now triangular. Each of its heads have different facial expressions, as they each represent a different emotion; one for sadness, one for anger, and one for joy. Dodrio still has a rounded body, but its black underside is now exposed. However, they are {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of a head and legs|still lacking wings}}.

====Gender differences====
A female Dodrio has brown necks, while a male has black ones.

===Special abilities===
Dodrio have long legs that allow it to jump incredibly high, which makes up for its lack of flight. These legs also allow it to run incredibly fast and for long distances without rest, as well as to deal massively powerful kicks to its opponents. Dodrio communicates with its other heads by mental telepathy, although not having any special psychic abilities. Another feature that contributes to its running ability are its three sets of hearts and lungs, which enable it to run long distances without rest. It can deliver devastating blows at any angle with its sharp beaks.

===Behavior===
Dodrio love to {{a|Early Bird|wake up early}} and call their cries every morning, and also love to run. They are usually very crotchety, arguing with themselves on a constant basis. However, if one of them gets to eat, the others will be satisfied too, and stop squabbling. Dodrio are especially wary if all three of its heads are looking in different directions.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Dodrio can be found living in deserts and plains. Dodrio are native to [[Kanto]], but they can be found on rare occasions in [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]]. They have also been imported to the {{safari|Johto|Johto}} and {{safari|Hoenn|Hoenn Safari Zones}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Fly Stad.png|thumb|Dodrio flying in {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}]]
* While one of its heads is saying something in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], the others say ''me too'' or ''mine too'', but its pre-evolved form's other head will not.
* Before [[Generation IV]], the normal necks of Dodrio is the color of the female's (brown), while its pre-evolution's is based on the male's (black).
* Dodrio's National Dex number is the whole number portion of its weight in kilograms. As of [[Generation V]], this is a unique characteristic. However, {{p|Slowpoke}} and {{p|Scyther}} share the distinction when considering their respective weights in pounds.
* Though Dodrio is based on a flightless bird, it is able to learn {{m|Fly}}.
* Before [[Generation V]], Dodrio learns {{m|Steel Wing}} via [[TM]], despite not appearing to have wings.
* Dodrio was the first Pokémon to appear in the flesh in the anime (all others before that were either dreamt of by {{Ash}}, or else shown on the TV in his room).
* According to its Pokédex entries, {{p|Doduo}} can run at {{tt|60 mph|100 km/h}}, while Dodrio can only run at nearly {{tt|40 mph|60 km/h}}. However, Dodrio's base {{stat|Speed}} stat is higher.
* Dodrio is featured in the [[Generation III]] wireless mini-game, [[Dodrio Berry Picking]], where it is required that players own a Dodrio to be able to play.
* In its Yellow Pokédex entry, one of Dodrio's heads stay awake while the other two sleep, but in Generation V and the 3D games, all three heads go asleep when Dodrio goes asleep.

===Origin===
Despite its name, Dodrio seems like it has more in common with {{wp|ostrich}}es than {{wp|dodo}}s. It also seems to show some similarity to the {{wp|Moa}}, an extinct flightless bird, and the {{wp|Emu}}, another flightless bird. It also resembles the {{wp|Kiwi}} in some ways as well. Its crests may mean it may have been based on {{wp|cassowary|cassowaries}}.

====Name origin====
Dodrio is a combination of ''{{wp|dodo}}'' (an extinct, flightless bird) and ''trio'' (group of three).

Dodorio may be a combination of ドードー ''dodo'' and トリオ ''trio''. To note, ''dori'' may be a reference to 鳥 ''tori'' (bird).

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Dodrio}} starting at [[level]] 31.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Doduo is a two-headed bird-like Pokémon that resembles a cross between {{wp|ostrich}} and a {{wp|kiwi}}. It has a rounded body covered in brown feathers which have a fluffy appearance and it has {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of a head and legs|two long, thin, tan legs}} with four clawed toes. It has two round heads are also covered in brown fluffy feathers, each with two small, black eyes with white irises and long sharp beaks. Both its heads are connected to its body by long, flexible tube-like necks, which are brown or black, depending on its gender.

====Gender differences====
A female has brown necks, while a male has black ones.

===Special abilities===
It can run at 60 mph (240 km/h), and one head is always awake and alert.

===Behavior===
The heads of a Doduo appear to be quite keen with each other; they use a type of 'teamwork' to get things done and to survive. For example, while running, Doduo can be seen alternately rising and lowering their heads. They do this to balance themselves while running at extreme speeds. This Pokémon also appears to be quite cautious, the heads take turns sleeping while the other one watches for enemies.

===Habitat===

Doduo live in wide open plains, grasslands, and savannahs. They rarely live in forests but are sometimes found in scrublands and deserts. They are common in [[Kanto]], but have been seen in [[Sinnoh]] from time to time. They have also been imported to the {{safari|Johto|Johto}} and {{safari|Hoenn|Hoenn Safari Zones}}.

==Trivia==
{{incomplete|section|needs=needs image of Doduo 'flying' in Stadium, Colo/XD or Battle Rev}}
* In the {{pkmn|Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta}}, Doduo was originally known as "Dodo", its Japanese name.
* Even though Doduo is based on the dodo, a flightless bird, and is also said to have poor flying skills, it can still learn the move {{m|Fly}}. It shares a similar trait with {{p|Qwilfish}}, who can learn {{m|Surf}} despite being called a poor swimmer.
** Doduo can also learn {{m|Steel Wing}}, despite not having any visible wings.
** It has been mentioned in the anime that Doduo can jump high enough to stay in the air for a period of time, as Fly is shown in-game. However, despite this, Doduo cannot learn {{m|Bounce}}.
* Before [[Generation IV]], the normal necks of Doduo were black (the male), while its {{p|Dodrio|evolution's}} neck is the color of the female's.
* According to its Pokédex entries, Doduo can run at {{tt|60 mph|100 km/h}}, while {{p|Dodrio}} can only run at nearly {{tt|40 mph|60 km/h}}. However, Dodrio's base {{stat|Speed}} stat is higher.

===Origin===
Despite its name, it seems like it has more in common with {{wp|ostrich}}es than {{wp|dodo}}s. It also seems to show some similarity to the {{wp|moa}}, an extinct flightless bird indigenous to {{pmin|New Zealand}}, and the {{wp|emu}}, another flightless bird. It also resembles the {{wp|kiwi}} in some ways as well.

====Name origin====
Doduo is a combination of ''{{wp|dodo}}'' (an extinct, flightless bird) and ''duo'' (a pair).

Dodo is literally ''dodo''.
