==Broad Terms==
General terms that can apply to a number of different Pokémon.
===Annoyer===
A Pokémon designed with the sole purpose of annoying the opponent and making it difficult for him/her to use a move. Moves for this purpose include {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Attract}}. It should be noted that the use of Annoyers has fallen since the start of [[Generation III]], mostly due to the fact that they rely too much on luck.
Two relatively common Annoyers in [[Generation IV]] are {{p|Jirachi}} (with {{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Iron Head}} and {{m|Thunder Wave}}) and {{p|Togekiss}} (with {{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Air Slash}} and {{m|Thunder Wave}}). These Pokémon are also known as Paraflinchers.

===Anti-Leads===
Anti-Leads are Pokémon that are used to counter common [[#Leads|Leads]]. These Pokémon may be carrying a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Scarf}} to outspeed the opposing expected lead and then carry a super-effective attack. An example of a Pokémon like this is {{p|Weavile}}; it is fast, it can {{m|Taunt|taunt}} to prevent hazards and it can also use a combination of {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}} and {{m|Counter}} to KO opposing leads. {{p|Gengar}} is another example of this, holding a Focus Sash with {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}, {{m|Hypnosis}} and other moves to disable Pokémon. {{p|Forretress}} can also be considered an anti-lead, as it commonly carries {{m|Gyro Ball}} which is super-effective on leads such as Weavile and {{p|Aerodactyl}}. It can also deal with hazards set up by {{p|Aerodactyl}} with {{m|Rapid Spin}} and can also break Focus Sashes with this move.

===Aromatherapist===
''See [[#Cleric|Cleric]].''

===Baton Passer===
A Pokémon with {{m|Baton Pass}} and at least one stat-boosting move such as {{m|Swords Dance}} or {{m|Agility}}, or {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Substitute}}. Raises one or more stats and/or activates one or more of the above moves, then Baton Passes the effects to another Pokémon in the party. Stat boosts are countered by a [[#Hazer|Hazer]] or [[#Pseudo-Hazer (SHazer)|Pseudo-Hazer]]. A good example of a Baton Passer is {{p|Ninjask}}, who {{a|Speed Boost|gains one level of Speed after each turn}}. A Baton Passer often abuses the move {{m|Protect}} and may use Swords Dance and/or Substitute as well. Ninjask commonly carries Substitute and a [[Liechi Berry]] so that it can Baton Pass four Speed Boosts, a Leichu boost, and possibly a few Swords Dance boosts or a Substitute. Baton Passers can counter Pseudo-Hazers by passing {{m|Ingrain}}, however only {{p|Smeargle}} can learn both of these moves through {{m|Sketch}}. Pseudo-Hazers that utilize {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}} can be evaded by Baton Passing to a Pokémon with {{a|Soundproof}}, however they also cannot receive maneuvers such as {{m|Heal Bell}} and {{m|Perish Song}}.

====Baton Pass Chain====
Continuous use of the move {{m|Baton Pass}} on various Pokémon in order to accumulate stat boosts, often used to boost and pass a variety of different stats that one Pokémon couldn't pass itself. A good example of a Pokémon that can set this up is {{p|Ninjask}} because of {{a|Speed Boost}}, {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Swords Dance}}.

===Choice User===
This subsection refers to Pokémon that have a hold item that affects in-battle move power or speed with the cost of being able to only use one move until a switch-out or in the event that Pokémon faints.

====Choice Bander====
A Pokémon with a moveset that usually contains four powerful physical moves and wears the hold item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}}. A Choice Bander usually serves either as a lead or a finisher, due to the sheer power it can dish out. Popular Choice Banders include {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Salamence}}.

====Scarf Wearer====
A Pokémon with a moveset that usually contains four powerful moves and wears the hold item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Scarf}}. A Scarf Wearer is usually a very powerful Pokémon with subpar speed compared to faster counter Pokémon that might outfight it, or is used on revenge killers. Popular Scarf Wearers include {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Weavile}}.

====Specs Wearer====
A Pokémon with a moveset that usually contains four powerful special moves and wears the hold item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Specs}}. Like a Choice Bander, a Specs Wearer will often lead off with powerful attacks or act as a finisher. Popular Specs Wearers include {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}.

===Clause===
Akin to House Rules, Clauses are various rules that fans apply to their battles. Since most player battles are free-for-alls, players usually agree on restrictions for moves, items and [[tiers]]. There also exist several official clauses that are usually applied to Stadium/Colosseum battles in the console connectivity games and [[Battle Tower]] challenges. [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] is currently the only official way for players to battle with these clauses enforced by the game.

===Cleric===
A Pokémon that utilizes {{m|Aromatherapy}} or {{m|Heal Bell}} to cure itself and its team members. Clerics are often partnered with {{m|Rest}} users or Pokémon with few means to heal themselves. However, Aromatherapy only appears in the movesets of a number of {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon and the {{p|Blissey}} and {{p|Clefable}} families, and {{m|Heal Bell}} does not affect Pokémon with the ability {{a|Soundproof}}. Popular Clerics include Blissey, Clefable and {{p|Celebi}}.

===Counter===
A Pokémon that is able to successfully switch into the opposing Pokémon and is subsequently able to defeat it after switching in. For example, {{p|Gliscor}} is a Counter to {{p|Heracross}}, since it resists Heracross's strongest attacks ({{m|Megahorn}} and {{m|Close Combat}}) and can defeat it easily with the {{type2|Flying}} attack, such as {{m|Aerial Ace}}.

===Death Fodder===
''See [[#Decoy|Decoy]]''.

===Decoy===
Any Pokémon that is 'sacrificed' against a strong opponent. The aim is to weaken the opponent's Pokémon before the sacrificial Pokémon is knocked out, then switch to a stronger Pokémon, preferably one whose moveset has an advantage over the opponent. A Decoy is often used to switch to a different Pokémon without causing damage to the Pokémon one wants to battle by sacrificing the Decoy.

===DDer===
Any Pokémon that makes use of {{m|Dragon Dance}}. Usually, a DDer is a fast physical [[#Sweeper|Sweeper]] such as {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Kingdra}} or {{p|Salamence}}.

===Dual Screens===
The combination of {{m|Light Screen}} and {{m|Reflect}}, improving the team's defenses. {{m|Brick Break}} can be used to break dual screens.

===Endureversal===
A moveset designed to {{m|Endure}} down to one HP, then {{m|Reversal}} or {{m|Flail}} for massive damage, since Reversal and Flail have 200 base power at 1%-4% HP. The item held is often a [[Salac Berry]] or a [[Liechi Berry]], tying in with the previous strategy. Popular Endureversal include {{p|Feraligatr}}, {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. This strategy is similar to the [[F.E.A.R]] strategy.

===Evasion clause===
The use of evasion boosting moves like {{m|Double Team}} or {{m|Minimize}} is forbidden under the Evasion Clause. Similar moves which instead decrease the opposing Pokémon's accuracy, such as {{m|Sand-Attack}}, {{m|Mud-Slap}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}} and {{m|Mud Bomb}}, are more widely accepted. {{m|Acupressure}} can increase the user's evasion, but still does not fall under this clause.

===Flailer===
''See [[#Endureversal|Endureversal]]''.

===Glass Cannon===
A Pokémon that has extremely high offensive stats, which are contrasted with its poor defensive stats and often insufficient Speed (such as {{p|Sharpedo}} and {{p|Rampardos}}). A {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Scarf}} is often employed on such Pokemon to make up for their lack of good Speed, but other {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice items}} also be used.

===Hax===
Something that relies more on chance than reliability or strategy. Hax can be manipulated in many different ways, including the use of [[items]] such as {{DL|In-battle effect item|Quick Claw}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}}, or {{DL|In-battle effect item|BrightPowder}} and the use of moves such as {{m|Fissure}} or {{m|Sheer Cold}}. Critical hits and extra effects of attacks, such as {{m|Flamethrower}} burning the foe, are often considered Hax. One variation of Hax is a Parahax.

===Hazer===
A Pokémon that has a moveset with {{m|Haze}} in it. Much like a [[#Spiker|Spiker]], it can have any combination of moves along with Haze. Fast Pokémon and those with high defenses, such as {{p|Altaria}} and {{p|Articuno}}, make good Hazers.

===HM Slave===

{{main|HM Slave}}

An HM Slave is a Pokémon mostly untrained for battle which is used for basic case of learning [[HM]]s and being the one to use them out of battle when needed. It is mostly kept in a [[PC]] box and not part of a general team and is used as an extra Pokémon that learns HMs, so a [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] doesn't have to teach HMs to his or her main battlers. It is generally only brought out of a PC box when the use of HMs are needed. Due to {{p|Bibarel}} being capable of learning six{{sup|DPPt}} or seven{{sup|HGSS}}, it is often (if not always) [[tiers|classified]] as the authentically perfect HM slave.
{{p|Tropius}} is also regarded as a good HM slave as it can learn five HMs, including {{m|Fly}}.

===HP===
Usually used as an abbreviation for "[[Hit Points]]", but often refers to the move {{m|Hidden Power}}. For example, "HP Water" refers to a Hidden Power that is of the {{type2|Water}}.

===Item Clause===
A rule whereby the use of more than one of the same [[held item]] is forbidden. While not enforced by most competitive players, it is enforced in Official Pokémon Competition, and also in-game facilities such as the [[Battle Frontier]] or [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]'s [[Colosseum]]s.

===IV Battle===
A level 100 [[Wi-Fi]] battle where the purpose is not actually to battle, but to observe what the Pokémon's stats will look like at level 100, which is the most optimal way to calculate what the Pokémon's IVs are. This is typically done with freshly hatched Pokémon, as EVs don't have to be included in such calculations.

===Lead===
The starting Pokémon of a team. In general, these Pokémon do at least one of two things: set up hazards or prevent the opponent from setting up hazards. Examples of Pokémon that do both are {{p|Aerodactyl}} (with {{m|Taunt}} and {{m|Stealth Rock}}), {{p|Forretress}} (with {{m|Rapid Spin}}, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}) and {{p|Tentacruel}} (with {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}). An example of Pokémon that only set up hazards is {{p|Heatran}} (with {{m|Stealth Rock}}). An example of a lead that only prevents hazards is {{p|Weavile}} (with {{m|Taunt}}).

===Legit===
A shortened form of '''legitimate''', refers to Pokémon that haven't been [[cheating|cheated]] or hacked in any way. This includes acquiring or modifying Pokémon via a [[GameShark]], [[Action Replay]], [[Pokésav]], etc. It is commonly used among players who are trading rare [[Event Pokémon]].

===Level Clause===
All Pokémon used by both trainers should be close to the same level, which is usually 50 or 100. With the advent of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, [[Wi-Fi]] battles are capable of setting Pokémon levels to 50 or 100 (rounding them up or down as necessary), so a Level Clause really only applies to local battles.

===[[Masuda method]]===
A technique used to hatch {{shiny2}} {{pkmn|egg}}s involving Pokémon originating from games of different languages. For example, if the player has a North American game card, and recieves a Japanese {{p|Ampharos}} and breeds it with a {{p|Pikachu}} from their own card, the offspring has a much higher chance of being shiny.

===Mono-Team===
A Pokémon team that is entirely of one certain [[type]], or even one species. These are more common in Random [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] matches than in serious matches. This is often countered since they can bring in something that has an unadultered type advantage. For example, one may have a team consisting only of {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, while the opponent may have a {{p|Honchkrow}} with above-average Attack and Speed stats that knows moves such as {{m|Dark Pulse}} or {{m|Night Slash}}, used to easily and quickly defeat the all-Ghost team.

===Mono-color===
A way to play using Pokémon of only one color. If a player wanted an all-green team, he or she might choose {{p|Gallade}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Cradily}}, a [[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Politoed}} and {{p|Breloom}}.

===One-hit knockout move (OHKO moves)===
{{main|One-hit knockout move}}
These are moves that cause immeditate fainting when they hit; but their accuracy is accordingly low (30%). Namely:
*{{m|Sheer Cold}}
*{{m|Fissure}}
*{{m|Horn Drill}}
*{{m|Guillotine}}

In [[#Standard rules|Standar rules]], OHKO moves are forbidden, so these are rarely seen.

===Pinch Berry===
Any one of the following: {{b|Liechi}}, {{b|Ganlon}}, {{b|Salac}}, {{b|Petaya}}, {{b|Apicot}}, {{b|Lansat}}, and {{b|Starf}}. These berries raise a specific stat when the holder's HP falls below 1/3 (or in a pinch, hence the name). Petaya, Salac and Liechi are the most commonly used, as extra defense typically isn't very useful when health is that low. Though usually found on {{m|Endure|Enduring}}, {{m|Substitute|Substituting}} or {{m|Belly Drum}}ming Pokémon, {{p|Drifblim}} does well with [[Petaya Berry]] in combination with the {{a|Unburden}} ability.

===Pokes===
Short form for [[Pokémon]]. Used in many forums.

===Pseudo Passer===
A moveset with {{m|Wish}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Light Screen}} and/or {{m|Reflect}} in it. Reflect and Light Screen are countered by {{m|Brick Break}}.

===Pseudo Hazer (PHazer)===
A moveset with either {{m|Whirlwind}} or {{m|Roar}}, which is intended to force a stat-boosted Pokémon out of the ring. A [[#Shuffler (Parashuffler/Pyroshuffler/Toxishuffler)|Shuffler]] can also be a PHazer. A moveset with a move like {{m|Yawn}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Perish Song}} or {{m|Charm}} can also be considered a PHazer. If the opponent decides not to switch out after being hit with one of these moves, he/she will have a hard time continuing the battle with their current Pokémon.

===Priority Move===
{{main|Priority}}
A move that allows the user to attack first despite having a lower Speed stat. The priority moves are {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Mach Punch}}, {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Aqua Jet}}, {{m|Bullet Punch}}, {{m|Ice Shard}}, and {{m|Sucker Punch}}.

===Sashed===
A Pokémon that is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}}, usually a very frail one such as {{p|Dugtrio}} or {{p|Weavile}}, so it can survive a hit.

===Shuffler (Parashuffler/Pyroshuffler/Toxishuffler)===
A moveset with either {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}} and {{m|Toxic}} as well as {{m|Thunder Wave}} or {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Works by inflicting a status condition, then [[#Pseudo Hazer (PHazer)|PHazing]] and repeating. Often used in tandem with a [[#Spiker|Spiker]] for best results. Countered by a [[#Cleric|Cleric]], or simply by attacking each time they try to PHaze.

===Sleep Clause===
A rule whereby the use of a sleep inducing move is forbidden if a Pokémon on the opponent's team has already been put to sleep by one of the user's Pokémon. Sleep induced by moves such as by {{m|Rest}} or abilities like {{a|Effect Spore}} are exempted. [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] supports the Sleep Clause, and custom rule sets can choose to enforce it or not.

===Sleep Talker (Restalker/STalker)===
A moveset with {{m|Rest}} and {{m|Sleep Talk}}. It is used to maintain a Pokémon's (usually with good defenses) health with Rest, but allow it to attack in the meantime with Sleep Talk. It's not a perfect strategy, as there is the chance Sleep Talk will call Rest again, but it works often enough to see use. {{p|Milotic}} is an excellent example of a Sleep Talker due to {{a|Marvel Scale}}. Though Milotic also has Recover, the Sleep Talker set is sometimes used because of its ability, though generally, moves such as Recover are better.

===Species clause===
A rule whereby the use of more than one of the same Pokémon is forbidden. Pokémon that evolve from the same Pokémon but are not an evolution of each other are exempted. For example, the use of {{p|Gorebyss}} and {{p|Huntail}} is allowed, but the use of Gorebyss and Gorebyss or Clamperl and Clamperl in one team is not. If the Pokémon has many different formes that are very different from each other, such as {{p|Wormadam}}, more than one Wormadam may be used without breaking species clause because of the big difference in the formes (as Wormadam's formes actually have different [[type]]s). An official clause, the various [[Battle Towers]] and [[Console]] connectivity games enforce this.

===Spiker===
A moveset that includes the move {{m|Spikes}}. Since that is the only requirement, there are many variations to Spiker movesets. Effective ones utilize {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}}, and/or {{m|Rapid Spin}}.

===Sponge===
''See [[#Wall|Wall]].''

===STAB===
{{main|Same-type attack bonus}}
Refers to the 1.5x multiplier a Pokémon gets when using an attack that matches its own type. If a Pokémon is a dual-type Pokémon, it gets a 1.5x multiplier for attacks of both of its types (for example, a {{p|Garchomp}} gets STAB for {{type2|Dragon}} as well as {{type2|Ground}} attacks). The ability {{a|Adaptability}} increases STAB's multiplier to 2x.

===Staller===
Much like the [[#Tank|Tank]], this moveset lives to build up passive damage (such as {{DL|Status ailment|Poison}}, {{DL|Status ailment|Burn}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, and [[Weather|weather conditions]]) while stalling with {{m|Protect}}, recovery moves or (rarely) with {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Dive}} or {{m|Dig}}. {{m|Toxic}} is most commonly used due to its increasing amount of damage caused. Some counters include a [[#Cleric|Cleric}}, the move {{m|Taunt}} and {{p|Clefable}} (due to the ability {{a|Magic Guard}}).

===Standard rules===
It refers to the rules used in [[Wi-Fi]] battles by most competitive battlers. The rules include: No [[tiers#Ubers|Ubers]], no [[cheating|hacks]], no [[One-hot knoeckout moves|OHKO moves]], [[#Sleep Clause|Sleep Clause]], [[#Evasion Clause|Evasion Clause]] and [[#Species Clause|Species Clause]].

===Sweeper===
A moveset designed with the object of quickly knocking out, or "sweeping," an opponent's team. Specializes in mostly direct attacks with stat-boosting moves also common. It is characterized by high Speed and offensive stats while often having poor defensive stats and HP. Comes in three variations - Physical, Special and Mixed. (Physical sweepers use physical moves, Special sweepers use special moves, and Mixed sweepers use both.) Mixed sweepers can also be used as [[#Wall|wall]] breakers which are mixed Sweepers whose attacks are specifically chosen to take down common walls, like {{m|Close Combat}} for {{p|Blissey}} or {{m|Fire Blast}} for {{p|Skarmory}}. Common counters are bulky Pokémon and [[priority]] moves.

===Tank===
A Pokémon that can take hits and still fight back. Often functions as a [[#Wall|Wall]] but different because while being hard to KO, it can still threaten the opponent offensively. Some common Tanks are {{p|Bronzong}} and {{p|Suicune}}.

===Trapper===
A set designed with the purpose of trapping a Pokémon for one reason or another. Moves such as {{m|Mean Look}} and {{m|Spider Web}} are standard trapping moves but moves such as {{m|Wrap}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} are also used sometimes. May be used in tandem with {{m|Toxic}} or {{m|Curse}} ({{t|Ghost}} version) to sap the opponent's health or {{m|Perish Song}} for a guaranteed knockout. Certain abilities, such as {{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{a|Magnet Pull}} and {{a|Arena Trap}}, trap automatically.

===Trickbander===
A moveset that employs {{m|Trick}} and the held item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}} to incapacitate any opponent that doesn't use Physical attacks (most likely a [[#Tank|Tank]], [[#Annoyer|Annoyer]] or Special [[#Sweeper|Sweeper]]). Trick switches items with the opponent, so that they lose their valuable held item and get a restrictive one. In [[Generation IV]], with the introduction of {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Specs}} and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Scarf}}, the more common item to switch onto the opponent is Choice Scarf because the receiver gains no offensive boost and the user makes use of the speed boost to Trick before the opponent makes their move.

===Trickbracer===
Similar to the [[#Trickbander|Trickbander]], a Trickbracer gives the opponent the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Macho Brace}} instead - an item that reduces Speed. It will stop most [[#Sweeper|Sweepers]] in their tracks due to the reduction of their Speed that is so crucial. In [[Generation IV]], the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Iron Ball}} and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Lagging Tail}} hold items exist almost solely to be used in this way, while the {{a|Klutz}} ability seems to exist so that the Pokémon using Trick doesn't have to suffer the effects of the item they are Tricking to the opponent.

===Type Coverage===
Type coverage refers to combinations of attacks that are unresisted. Common combinations for coverage are "[[#BoltBeam|BoltBeam]]" (only resisted by {{p|Lanturn}} and {{p|Magnezone}}, and negated by {{p|Shedinja}}'s {{a|Wonder Guard}}), which is {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, or any combination of {{type2|Electric}} and {{type2|Ice}} attacks. {{type2|Ghost}}, {{type2|Dark}}, {{type2|Dragon}} and {{type2|Fighting}} attacks have perfect coverage, due to the fact that Ghost- and Dragon-type moves together are all resisted by only Dark- and Steel-types (Dark-types resisting Ghost and Steel-types resisting both). Both of these types are defensively weak to Fighting-type moves, meaning at best, a dual-typed Steel or Dark Pokémon will be neutral to Fighting (at worst, 4x weak). Thus, all currently known Pokémon are at least neutral to these combinations.

===Untouched===
Often abbreviated as ''UT'', it refers to Pokémon that haven't gained any [[Experience]] since they were {{pkmn2|caught|captured}}, [[trade|received]], or {{pkmn|egg|hatched}}. It is commonly used among players who are trading specially {{pkmn|breeding|bred}} or [[Event Pokémon]].

===Wall===
A Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind (for example, a Physical Wall would block Physical attacks).

==Specific Sets==
Sets that are only seen on one to several Pokémon or are best known on a single Pokémon.
===Atmacune===
A {{p|Suicune}} moveset from [[Generation II]], which has {{m|Curse}}, {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Return}} and {{m|Roar}}. Not usable in [[Generation III]] or {{gen|IV}} because {{m|Curse}} is no longer available in Suicune's movelist due to losing [[TM]] status.

===Bellyzard===
A moveset created specifically for the {{p|Charizard}} evolution family. The moveset contains {{m|Belly Drum}}, {{m|Substitute}}, {{m|Fire Punch}} or {{m|Flare Blitz}} and any other move. The held item is usually a [[Salac Berry]]. Belly Drum followed by Substitute maximizes the attack stat and lowers HP enough to activate {{a|Blaze}} and the [[Salac Berry]] as long as Charizard's HP is divisible by 4. The power of Charizard's {{type2|Fire}} moves is increased, attack power is maximized and Speed is raised enough to possibly attack first. This results in an incredibly powerful physical {{type2|Fire}} attack.

===BoltBeam===
A combination of {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} on the same set that is resisted only by {{p|Magnezone}}, {{a|Volt Absorb}} {{p|Lanturn}}, and {{p|Shedinja}}. May also be used for any combination of {{t|Electric}}- and {{type2|Ice}} moves, such as {{m|Thunderbolt}} and HP Ice.

===Breloomurder===
Works with a {{p|Breelom}} that has {{m|Spore}}, {{m|Focus Punch}}, {{m|Substitute}}, and {{m|Facade}}, along with the {{a|Effect Spore}} ability. To do this, the player puts the opponent to sleep, then use a Substitute and then repeatedly uses Focus Punch. If the foe gets an effect from Effect Spore, Facade is then used. If Breloom's ability is {{a|Poison Heal}}, holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Toxic Orb}} is recommended. This will effectively trap the opponent while cuuting down their health, and is especially effective since Breloom gets [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] from Focus Punch.

===CalmCune===
A {{p|Suicune}} with {{m|Calm Mind}}. {{m|Rest}} is often also used. A very powerful and over-used Pokémon due to Suicune's two weaknesses being special types, and as a result its effectiveness has been reduced with [[Generation IV]]'s Attack/Special split. Some counters include a [[#Hazer|Hazer]] or [[#Pseudo Hazer (PHazer)|PHazer]], a strong Physical {{t|Electric}}- or {{type2|Grass}} attack and the move {{m|Encore}}.

===Celetran===
A combination of {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Heatran}} used in the same team, this works because Celebi covers all of Heatran's weaknesses and Heatran covers all of Celebi's weaknesses. Both of these Pokémon have mixed [[#Wall|Wall]] stats, they can take on both Physical and Special hits.

There are other combinations like this, such as {{p|Latias}} or {{p|Latios}} and a {{type2|Steel}} (a combination that resists every type in the game) though these combinations are not as well known.

===ChainChomp===
{{p|Garchomp}} that is designed as a Mixed [[#Sweeper|Sweeper]] with the moves {{m|Draco Meteor}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. The intention of this Pokémon is catching the opponent off guard as they send in a standard Physical [[#Wall|Wall]] by taking advantage of most Physical Walls lacking a good {{stat|Special Defense}} stat. A variation of this set can also be used with {{p|Salamence}}.

===Crocune===
A {{p|Suicune}} with the moves {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Sleep Talk}}, {{m|Calm Mind}} and {{m|Surf}}. The ''Cro'' prefix is also used for other Pokémon that work in a similar way, like Crophy and Crotomb.

===Curselax===
A moveset that uses {{m|Curse}} and {{m|Rest}} on an already slow Pokémon to ignore the Speed drop. Although {{p|Snorlax}} is the most common user (hence the name), it can also appear on other Pokémon (provided they aren't of the {{type2|Ghost}}). Especially useful in a team using {{m|Trick Room}} as the Speed drops become Speed boosts instead.

===F.E.A.R.===
{{main|F.E.A.R}}
A last resort strategy involving a low-level Pokémon (such as {{p|Rattata}}) holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}} with the moves {{m|Endeavor}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. It aims to catch the opponent off-guard when he or she sees the low-level Rattata and attacks. The Focus Sash will activate and Rattata will use Endeavor to attack, lowering the opponent's HP to 1. Then the Rattata will use Quick Attack to finish off the opponent. There are many variations of this set that can be used by any Pokémon with {{m|Endeavor}} and a priority move. For instance, it has been used by a {{p|Dodrio}} in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].

===Flinchax===
A moveset with a paralysis-inducing move to negate speed, and a flinch move such as {{m|Air Slash}}, {{m|Bite}}, {{m|Headbutt}}, {{m|Iron Head}}, {{m|Rock Slide}}, {{m|Snore}}, {{m|Stomp}}, {{m|Zen Headbutt}}, or {{m|Extrasensory}}. It relies on chance to repeatedly flinch the foe until it faints. As an added bonus, the paralysis will kick in 25% of the time, giving the foe only a 52% chance to use their attack. {{p|Dunsparce}} was the most feared flinchaxor in [[Generation III]], because its {{a|Serene Grace}} increases the flinch chance to 60% until the appearance of {{p|Togekiss}} in [[Generation IV]]. {{p|Jirachi}} can also do this with {{m|Zen Headbutt}} or {{m|Iron Head}}, the latter only through a [[move tutor]] in Platinum.

===McIceGar===
A moveset for {{p|Gengar}} with many variations. Usually used to describe the Subpunching Gengar with {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Punch}}, but moves such as {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Sludge Bomb}} are sometimes included. As of [[Generation IV]], {{m|Ice Punch}} is no longer a reliable option for McIceGar since it has become Physical, and so it must use {{m|Hidden Power}} instead.

===MixApe===
A commonly used mixed sweeper moveset for {{p|Infernape}} that is extremely useful for wall-breaking, especially Skarmbliss. The set consists of a combination of the moves {{m|Flamethrower}}/{{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}}, HP Ice and {{m|Nasty Plot}}. It usually holds the item Life Orb.

===[[Pseudo-legendary]]===
Any of the following Pokémon: {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Metagross}}, and {{p|Garchomp}}. These Pokémon have noticeably astounding [[stats]] and diverse movepools.

===RNG===
An abbreviation for Random Number Generator. Players often manipulate the RNG to gain increased chances of catching [[shiny Pokémon]] and getting Pokémon with better [[IV|IVs]]

===ScarfChomp===
A {{p|Garchomp}} holding the item [[Choice Scarf]], whose speed is multiplied by 1.5.

===Seeder===
Seeders are Pokémon that use {{m|Leech Seed}} to force switches, drain HP to heal themselves, or wear down defensive Pokémon. They are often used with {{m|Substitute}} known as Subseeders. Subseeders are often fast Pokémon that repeatedly use substitute while the opponent is afflicted with leech seed. The healing of leech seed allows them to gain back the health they lost from substitute while the opponent's health is slowly worn down. Examples of Subseeders are {{p|Jumpluff}} and {{p|Sceptile}}.

===Skarmbliss===
A combination of {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Blissey}} used in the same team, which is designed to abuse Skarmory's high Defense stat and numerous resistances, as well as Blissey's high Special Defense stat and extraordinary HP stat. It is very difficult to beat if one is not prepared, so most teams carry a SkarmBliss counter. this combination does not work as well in 4th gen because of the physical/special split. in 3rd gen, Skarmory's weaknesses were special, so Blissey could cover those weaknesses well, and also, Blissey's weakness was physical so Skarmory took that well. Now with the physical/special split, it isn't as reliable.

===SpecsMence===
A {{p|Salamence}} holding [[Choice Specs]] (or {{DL|In-battle effect item|Wise Glasses}} in some cases), with the moves {{m|Draco Meteor}}, {{m|Fire Blast}} or {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and {{m|Dragon Pulse}}.

===Suicide Spiker/Rocker===
A {{p|Forretress}} with the moveset consisting of {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}} and {{m|Explosion}}. Set up all the traps then use explosion so the next Pokémon has to deal with the brunt of the attacks of the spikes taking up to 50% of their HP and being badly poisoned. Works well with a roarer to make all of the opponent's Pokémon suffer.

===Suicide Lead===
A moveset in which the user is equipped with a [[Focus Sash]]. The purpose of this moveset is to set up {{m|Stealth Rock}}, while anticipating an attack that could OHKO the user, but survives with the [[Focus Sash]]. This is a very common moveset for leading {{p|Azelf}} and {{p|Aerodactyl}}.

===Subpasser===
A moveset with {{m|Substitute}} and {{m|Baton Pass}}. Although any Pokémon that can learn Baton Pass can pass Substitutes, Pokémon with high HP are preferred so that the Substitute passed will also have a high HP. Subpassing is beneficial as it allows for a Pokémon to have a Substitute with a much higher HP than it could make itself. If such a Substitute is passed to a Wall or Tank, the opponent will have a hard time breaking the Substitute right away, allowing the target to reap the benefits of the Substitute, such as immunity to status effects. Subpasses can also pass defense boosts to make the Substitutes even harder to break, but then that only leaves them one move for attacking, making them very vulnerable to Taunt.

===Subpuncher===
A moveset with {{m|Substitute}} and {{m|Focus Punch}} to avoid the flinch chance from Focus Punch. Works best with slower Pokémon as the Substitute may end up being broken the turn it's made if the Subpuncher goes first. Slightly harder to use in Double Battles where the two Pokémon could gang up on the Subpuncher to break the Substitute and hit the Pokémon. Countered by Thick Club Marowak whose Bonemerang usually does enough damage to break the Substitute on the first hit, allowing the second hit to attack the Subpuncher directly. It's also is countered by Technician Ambipom who might break the Substitute on the first hit of Double Hit.

===Sunnybeamer===
A moveset with {{m|Sunny Day}} and {{m|SolarBeam}} to avoid the one turn charge up from SolarBeam. Often used on Pokémon with the {{a|Chlorophyll}} ability, {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, or Pokémon with the moves {{m|Synthesis}}, {{m|Morning Sun}}, or {{m|Moonlight}}, for increased HP recovery

===Thunderdancer===
A moveset with {{m|Rain Dance}} and {{m|Thunder}} to give Thunder 100% accuracy. Pokémon with the {{a|Volt Absorb}} or {{a|Water Absorb}} [[ability]] are preferred, due to their immunity to enemy {{m|Surf}}s and {{m|Thunder}}s.

===TyraniBoah===
A moveset specifically for {{p|Tyranitar}} (but also viable on others) with the '''Subpuncher''' combo and the '''Boltbeam''' (or in Tyranitar's case, BoltCrunch) combo. It is also an example of very advanced battling techniques on both sides, as it requires you to predict that your opponent will predict your next attack and switch to something resistant to it. An example of this would be if your opponent has a {{p|Salamence}} in play and expects you to use {{m|Ice Beam}} and thus switches to a {{p|Starmie}}. Predicting the switch, you actually select {{m|Thunderbolt}} or {{m|Crunch}} and beat the Starmie on the switch-in.

===Wondertomb/Wondereye===
A hacked {{p|Spiritomb}} or {{p|Sableye}} with the ability {{a|Wonder Guard}}. Since {{p|Spiritomb}} and {{p|Sableye}} have no weaknesses, they can only be damaged by weather conditions, status problems, entry hazards such as {{m|Spikes}} or {{m|Stealth Rock}}, recoil moves and, curiously, the move {{m|Fire Fang}}. Note that the ability {{a|Mold Breaker}} will cancel out the Wonder Guard ability. Also, If the opponent has {{a|Scrappy}}, or uses {{m|Odor Sleuth}} or {{m|Foresight}} a Wondereye or Wondertomb can be hit with a super effective Fighting-type attack. {{m|Gastro Acid}} is a move that will cancel this ability as well. Also, {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} will strike through Wonder Guard as well, and do not take type into account so Future Sight will still damage the partial dark type Spiritomb and Sableye. These instances prove that Wondereyes and Wondertombs are not invincible.

==Tier==
{{main|Tiers}}
A tier is a list of Pokémon in the metagame selected based on numerous traits, such as how the Pokémon's stats are distributed, its type and moves, and overall ability in battle.

==={{DL|Tiers|Uber}}===
A tier of the metagame, currently the highest there is. It is mostly consisted of legendaries, although not all of them are in the Uber tier.

====[[Tiers#Borderline|BL]]====
Borderline. A tier of the metagame. It is the third highest tier, in between OU and UU.

====[[Tiers#Over-Used|OU]]====
Over-Used. A tier of the metagame. It is the second highest tier, only surpassed by Uber.

====[[Tiers#Under-Used|UU]]====
Under-Used. A tier of the metagame that is the second lowest, not counting NFE.

====[[Tiers#Never-Used|NU]]====
Never-Used. A tier of the metagame. It is currently the lowest tier to date, not counting NFE. This tier first appeared in Generation III.

====NFE====
Not an actual tier, but a term used to describe Pokémon that are not fully evolved, and thus should not be used competitively until they evolve. There are some NFEs that can viably be used competitively, namely:
* {{p|Pikachu}} with [[Light Ball]]
* {{p|Magneton}}
* {{p|Scyther}}
* {{p|Porygon2}}
* {{p|Vigoroth}}
* {{p|Trapinch}} with {{a|Arena Trap}}
* {{p|Clamperl}} with [[DeepSeaTooth]]

Some NFEs do exactly the same as their evolution. These may also be used competitively, but only in lower [[tier]]s than their evolution. For example, {{p|Chansey}} can be used in UU because its evolution {{p|Blissey}} is in OU, which makes it banned from UU. Another example of this is {{p|Munchlax}} in NU. there are some Pokémon that work in OU that are NFEs, such as Porygon 2, because it fits in differently from its evolution, Porygon-Z.

'''Milotic''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミロカロス''' ''Milokaross'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Feebas}} by level-up when Feebas's [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] condition is high.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Milotic's appearance is similar to that of a sea serpent, and it is likely based on an {{wp|Oarfish}}. Milotic’s sinuous body is mostly cream in coloration, with red eyes and three black dots down its neck. The top of its head is long, with a point at the end, and long, thin red ‘eyebrows’ extending from above its eyes and thicker, also red-colored hair-like fins draping from the sides of the head. Its lower tail is covered with blue and pink scales, with striations of black, and four large scales, blue with red spots in the middle, overlap at the tip of the tail to look like a fan. Milotic is described in the Pokédex as breathtakingly beautiful.

====Gender differences====
The female's eyebrow fins are longer than the male's. Also, in {{game|Platinum}} the female's antennae are colored blue when it is {{pkmn2|shiny}}. This is apparently a coloring error, as Milotic's female sprite in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver}} has the normal red like the male's.

====Special abilities====
Milotic have the ability to calm their enemies by removing their negative feelings, this suggests that they possess empathetic abilities similar to some species of {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

Milotic can move by floating in the air as shown in the anime.

===Behavior===
Milotic is a peaceful Pokémon that typically tries to avoid battles. It appears to dislike conflict, and will even appear before arguing humans in an attempt to calm their minds. It is a historically significant Pokémon, and has been depicted in many works of art.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Milotic are divinely rare. They live at the bottom of large lakes.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:JohannaMilotic.jpg|left|thumb|[[Johanna]] and her Milotic in Dawn's dream in ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]''.]]
Milotic first appeared under the ownership of {{ho|Robert}} in ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]''. Robert used Milotic again for the [[Grand Festival]].

[[Juan]]'s Milotic was first seen in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]''. Juan used it against {{Ash}} for the Gym Battle in [[AG111|the following episode]], being his strongest and last Pokémon.

{{DL|Battle Frontier (Hoenn)|Battle Pike}} Queen {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}} used a Milotic to battle against [[Ash's Donphan]] and {{AP|Pikachu}} in ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine]]''. Lucy's Milotic defeated the former of the two and lost to the latter.

In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland!]]'', a Feebas under the ownership of [[Johanna]] evolved into a Milotic, though it was only an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}.
[[Image:WallaceWithMilotic.png|thumb|right|Wallace and his Milotic.]]

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

A Milotic appeared in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' under [[Wallace]]'s ownership as his main Contest Pokémon.

A Milotic also appeared in the opening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', under the ownership of [[Tower Tycoon Palmer]].

==Trivia==
* In the anime, all of the Milotic that appeared were under the ownership of a [[Pokémon Coordinator]], a part-time Coordinator or a [[Frontier Brain]].
* In the official [[Prima's Official Strategy Guides|Prima Strategy Guide]] for {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Milotic was erroneously stated to have the {{a|Torrent}} [[ability]].
* In many ways, Milotic is the [[Hoenn]] counterpart of [[Kanto]]'s {{p|Gyarados}}. Both are the evolved forms of incredibly weak fish Pokémon, and both appear in times of conflict, Milotic to becalm, Gyarados to destroy. Both have base stat totals of 540, the only difference being the distribution of their stats: Milotic is more defensively based while Gyarados is more offensively based.
** It is also possible it is meant to be a contest version of Gyarados - because Gyarados was introduced in the first generation, and Milotic was introduced in the first generation with Pokémon contests. This is fortified by Milotic's emphasis being on its beauty, while Gyarados' emphasis is on its power.
** Milotic 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 Gyarados.
* Milotic is the only Pokémon so far to have a particular [[gender differences|gender difference]] visible only in its {{shiny2}} form in Platinum: female shiny Milotic have blue eyebrows while males have red ones. This is apparently a coloring error, as the Diamond and Pearl and HeartGold and SoulSilver sprites have the normal red. Considering that the HeartGold and SoulSilver sprites of all other Generation III Pokémon remain unchanged from Platinum, this is highly likely to be the case.
* Although Milotic's Pokémon Sapphire Pokédex entry states its body glows pink, its Pokémon Emerald sprite depicts it as glowing blue.
*Milotic, along with {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Kingdra}}, has the highest base stat total of any non-legendary {{type2|Water}} Pokémon
**Milotic therefore has the highest base stat total of all pure Water-type non-legendary Pokémon.

===Origin===
Milotic may be based loosely on {{wp|sirens}}, mythical creatures who can hypnotize with their voice to make men attracted to them. An argument can also be made for the possibility it is loosely based on {{wp|Loch Ness Monster and popular culture|the Loch Ness Monster}}. Its similarity to {{p|Dragonair}} suggests as basis in sea serpents or sea dragons as well. It has anatomical similarities with the {{wp|oarfish}}, with a pale, elongated body and extended, red dorsal fins.

====Name origin====
Milotic's name may be a combination of ''aquatic'' or ''melodic'' and ''Milo'', as in the sculpture ''{{wp|Venus de Milo}}'', which is known for being an example of beauty, and like Milotic, possesses no arms. Milotic also has a wide range of healing and defensive moves, so its name may also be a variation on ''mitotic'', descriptive of the healing process of a body part through {{wp|mitosis}}.

''Milokaross'' may be a combination of the aforementioned ''Milo'' and the {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} καλλονή ''kalloni'', meaning beauty or Χάρις ''charis'', beauty, elegance, charm, or grace. See also {{wp|Charites}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Milotic

'''Accessories''' are a type of [[item]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. They are stored in the [[Fashion Case]], along with [[Backdrop]]s. Accessories are used in [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s in [[Hearthome City]] as well as in taking pictures in [[Jubilife City]].

In Super Contests, they are used during the Visual Round to improve the looks of a Pokémon. The better the accessories used match to the contest's theme, the more points are scored in the Visual Round.

Size discrepancies in the animated series

2010-06-26T04:12:17Z

Mil: /* Rapidash */

Aside from [[giant Pokémon]], many [[Pokémon]] in the [[Pokémon anime]] suffer from large '''size discrepancies''' between the information given in the [[Pokémon games]]' [[Pokédex]] and their actual animated presentation. These Pokémon are apparently "normal sized" as far as the anime's universe is concerned.

This may be a style or aesthetic decision, a case of the writers not checking the information in detail, or for story purposes.

Some of the most notable size discrepancies will be noted below.

==Articuno==
{{p|Articuno}} are about 5'07" (1m70), although in ''[[AG135|The Symbol Life]]'' it is looking to be more like 6'07" (2m).

==Bulbasaur==
{{p|Bulbasaur}} are about 2'04" (70cm), in a height like {{p|Buizel}} for example. But during the anime episodes it is definitely not this high. it is shown to be about 1'04 (40cm).

==Charizard and Blastoise==
{{p|Charizard}} are usually 5'7" (1m75) tall, but [[Ash's Charizard]] is slightly taller than that, at about 7'00 (2m10) tall.

They are normally 5'03" (1m60) tall, but in all of their appearances in the anime - they appear closer to 6'03" (1m90).

{{p|Croagunk}} are generally 2'04" (70cm) in height, but in the anime it is looking to be more like 1'04" (40cm).

==Dunsparce==
{{p|Dunsparce}} are normally 4'11" (1m30) in height, approximately the height of {{Ash}}. In ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', they appear to be shorter than a {{p|Pidgey}}.

==Electrode==
{{p|Electrode}} are normally 3'11" (1m20), but in ''[[AG041|What You Seed is What You Get!]]'' it is seen in the same height like {{p|Slugma}}, in 2'04" (70cm).

==Floatzel==
{{p|Floatzel}} are generally 3'07" (1m10) in height, but in ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'' , when it was standing in front of {{p|Buizel}} in was shown to be about 4'03" (1m30).

==Forretress==
{{p|Forretress}} are about 3'11" (1m20), but in all of its appearances in the anime, it is shown to be 1'08" (50cm).

==Gabite==
{{p|Gabite}} are normally 4'07" (1m40) in height, but [[Ursula]]'s Gabite from ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'' was at least a couple inches taller than Ash, Dawn, and Ursula, who are about 5'0" (1m50) tall.

==Gengar==
{{p|Gengar}} are shown to be 4'11" (1m50), but in all of its appearances in the anime, it is shown to be 3'07" (1m10).

==Golduck==
{{p|Golduck}} are about 5'07" (1m70), although in ''[[DP007|Like It or Lup It!]]'' when it was standing near {{p|Ludicolo}}, it was shown to be about 3'03" (1m).

==Glalie==
{{p|Glalie}} are shown to be 4'11" (1m50). [[Ash's Glalie]] is extremely small for compared to others of its species. Its size appears to be closer to 2'00" (60cm).

==Grovyle and Combusken==
While normally {{p|Grovyle}} and {{p|Combusken}} are about 2'11" (90cm), [[Ash's Grovyle]] and [[May's Combusken]] appears to be much larger, being almost as tall as Ash and May. Assuming that {{Ash}} is about 5' (1m50), that estimates Grovyle and Combusken to be around 4'0" (1m20). The other Grovyle that have appeared were around this size as well.

==Hariyama==
{{p|Hariyama}} are shown to be 7'07" (2m30). However, [[Brawly's Hariyama]] is extremely small for its species. In ''[[AG020|Brave The Wave!]]'', it appears to be around 4'11" (1m50).

==Lombre==
{{p|Lombre}} are shown to be 3'11" (1m20). [[Brock's Lombre]] appears to be shorter than that height, and looking to be more around 2'07 (80cm).

==Metagross==
{{p|Metagross}} are normally 5'03" (1m60), but {{ho|Tyson}}'s seems shorter than this in ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]''. It's shown more likely 2'11" (90cm). Another Metagross appeared in ''[[DP117|Noodles Roaming Off!]]'' and shown to be higher even than [[James]], about 6'03" (1m90).

==Noctowl==
{{p|Noctowl}} are about 5'3" (1m60), approaching average human height. [[Ash's Noctowl]], however, is extremely small for that size, looking to be more around 2'00 (60cm). Although it's been mentioned that Ash's Noctowl is unusually small, the other two Noctowl that have appeared in the anime don't seem to be more than 4' tall.

==Nosepass==
{{p|Nosepass}} are normally 3'3" (1m) in height. However, in the episode Nosepass debuted in, Nosepass is far bigger than it is supposed to be, at about 5'6" (1m70) compared to the normal Nosepass.

==Pidgeotto==
{{p|Pidgeotto}} are normally 3'07" (1m10), although during the series it appears to be only 2'04" (70cm).

==Rapidash==
{{p|Rapidash}} are normally 5'07" (1m70). However, in Ash's flashback in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', it was shown to be about 3'03" (1 meter) tall, about the size of a {{p|Ponyta}}.

==Roselia==
One of the more renowned changes in size is in {{p|Roselia}}, which are extremely small - only about a foot (30cm) tall. However, the {{TP|Drew|Roselia}} in the anime come up to a [[Drew|10-year old's]] waist. An estimate would put the anime incarnation of them at about 3' (90cm) tall. This caused much confusion when [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon Adventures]] both featured the Pokémon at its actual smaller size.

==Seviper==
[[Jessie's Seviper]] appears to change sizes during the series, sometimes even in the same episode. For example, when it made its debut, it was shorter than [[Jessie]]. However, it has also been shown as being taller than her, which according to the Pokédex it should be.

==Smeargle==
{{p|Smeargle}} are about 3'11" (1m20), although in ''[[EP197|Art of Pokémon]]'' it is shown to be 2'04" (70cm).

==Wailmer==
{{p|Wailmer}} are generally 6'07" (1m85) in height, although the one in ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'' was shown to be more than twice the size of Ash, who is approximately 5'0" (1m50) tall.

==Whismur==
{{p|Whismur}} are very small Pokémon at around 2'00" (60cm). In ''[[AG039|A Pokéblock Party!]]'', a Whismur was around the size of 1'00" (30cm), and was noticeably not much larger than [[Max]]'s head. A second Whismur appeared in ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing!]]'' and, while standing, came up to Max's neck.

==Trivia==
* In {{Game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}} and {{Game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}, Lance's Dragonite knows {{m|Barrier}}, although Dragonite cannot legitimately have the move in any of the games.
* Since [[Generation II]], Lance has been using Dragonites which has levels lower than 55, despite the fact that they can only be as Dragonites after evolution from level 55 onward.

Friendship

Mil: /* Generation IV */ Add a way to increase happiness, by Daisy in HGSS.

{{outdated}}
'''Happiness''' is a measurement of how much a Pokémon loves its {{pkmn|Trainer}} and enjoys being in their care, there a few species whose evolution depends on it. As a full feature, it was introduced in [[Generation II]]. Happiness also determines the power of {{m|Return}} and {{m|Frustration}}.

==Generation I==
A prototype of the happiness system used by later games was introduced in {{game|Yellow}}, the last [[main series]] game of [[Generation I]]. Like the later system, its value ranged between 0 and 255 inclusive, however, this value was only applied to the {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} the player [[starter Pokémon|started with]].

Unlike later games, since Pikachu is outside of its Poké Ball, the player can turn and look at it at any time as it follows him around the overworld. Pikachu will then indicate its happiness in a small window that appears. At maximum happiness, Pikachu will jump up and down before the window appears.

Like later games, Pikachu's happiness will rise when it gains a level. If its Trainer uses an item on Pikachu, its happiness will also rise, even if it is an item that has no effect on Pikachu (such as a [[Potion]] at full HP). In this manner, Pikachu is much easier to make happy than Pokémon in future generations.

Pikachu's happiness drops if it is put into [[Bill's PC]] or faints. Trading it to another game will reset its happiness to 0.

Happiness is not recorded for any other Pokémon in Generation I, while the happiness of Pikachu does not affect much: the only real effect it has is whether or not [[Melanie]] will give {{p|Bulbasaur}} away in [[Cerulean City]], which she will only do if its happiness is 147 or higher.

|} 

==Generation II==
In [[Generation II]] the happiness system became fully implemented, building on the system used in Yellow by tracking the happiness of any Pokémon owned by the Trainer. Like before, it is a single byte with a value between 0 and 255.

Happiness is set when a Pokémon is brought under a Trainer's control: that is, it is 70 when a Pokémon is captured from the wild, and reset to 70 when a Pokémon is traded from another game. When a Pokémon is hatched from an {{pkmn|egg}}, its value is set to 120. If a Pokémon is captured in a [[Poké Ball#Generation II Poké Balls|Friend Ball]], rather than any other kind, its happiness is set to 200 instead.

Another function was given to happiness in Generation II, the evolution of certain Pokémon, which has continued until the present, with new Pokémon which evolve through happiness being introduced in each generation. Happiness-based evolutions occur when a Pokémon's happiness is 220 or higher.

Unlike in Generation I, happiness will not increase if an item that cannot be used is used on a Pokémon: for example, using [[HP Up]]s on a Quilava which already has the maximum HP it can have will not result in raised happiness.

However, some things, though frequently reported, aren't part of the Generation II modifier. The following are things that do not affect a Pokémon's happiness, either positively or negatively:
*Putting a Pokémon in Bill's PC
*Healing the Pokémon when weak and injured
*Giving a Pokémon a hold item
*Using a Pokémon in battles
*Winning battles with a Pokémon
*Letting a Pokémon's HP fall to critical status
*Letting your Pokémon get a status condition like Paralysis
*Walking when your Pokémon has a status condition

==Generation III==
Happiness in [[Generation III]] works much the same as before; however, additions were made to happiness-altering events. If a Pokémon is caught in a [[Luxury Ball]], all happiness-raising events will rise by one point more, while happiness-lowering events are not affected. Likewise, a Pokémon holding a [[Soothe Bell]] will also rise by one additional point per happiness-raising event. These effects stack on each other, meaning a Pokémon in a Luxury Ball holding a Soothe Bell gets two additional points per event.

Pokémon now have a base happiness per species; however, most catchable Pokémon have the standard 70 points as their starting level.

==Generation IV==
Happiness in [[Generation IV]] is much the same as it is in [[Generation III]], though the conditions are altered slightly. The Luxury Ball now causes a Pokémon to have a separate rise in happiness than Pokémon in other Balls.

In [[Eterna City]], a girl in the [[Pokémon Center]] will give away a [[Pokétch]] app that shows how much the Pokémon in the player's [[party]] like the player. Maximum happiness is represented by two big hearts.

In [[Hearthome City]], a member of the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] will rate a Pokémon's happiness in a standardized manner similar to previous generations.

[[Dr. Footstep]], the sole resident of the Footstep House on {{rt|213}}, will also tell a Pokémon's happiness, albeit in a roundabout way which differs among Pokémon species. At maximum happiness, he will give the Pokémon in question a [[ribbon]].

In [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]], your Pokemon will respond with varying phrases, depending on their happiness.

[[Daisy Oak|Daisy]] makes a return in HeartGold and SoulSilver, she will groom one of the player's Pokémon between 15:00 and 16:00 every day, increasing its happiness.

===Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia===
Happiness also has a slight effect in the second Ranger game. The [[Partner Pokémon]] can have the condition of ''Fine'', ''Happy'', or ''Very Happy''. When it is happy, black musical notes come out of it. Multicolored musical notes come out when it is very happy. This may happen whether or not it is with the player. This condition increases the speed the Partner Gauge fills up.

==Evolutions==
Several Pokémon evolve when their happiness level is at or above 220:

==Happiness raters==
Happiness raters are different [[NPC]]s that may be talked to to indicate the happiness of the first Pokémon in the player's party. Some will give away certain items depending on the happiness, while others just tell how happy the Pokémon is.

*The only [[regional Pokédex]] that contained all Pokémon that evolve by happiness at the time was the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|old Johto Pokédex]]. Neither the Hoenn Pokédex, Sinnoh Pokédex (before or after the expansion) nor the New Johto Pokédex contained all happiness-evolvers as of their respective generation, with the Sinnoh Pokédex excluding only {{p|Igglybuff}} and its family.

'''Feebas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒンバス''' ''Hinbass'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Milotic}} by level-up when its [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] condition is high.

==Biology==
===Physiology===

Feebas are somewhat shabby, old-looking basses with tattered blue fins and a tall, arch-shaped fin that juts from its back. Its rough-textured body is dotted in several old spots resembling rocks. It has large, gloomy eyes and big lips frozen into a frown.

As their [[Beauty Contest|beauty]] increases, their rocky scales begin to gleam like diamond. It shows that {{p|Milotic|evolution}} is very near.

====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Although appearing to be old and worthless, Feebas are capable of learning powerful {{type2|Ice}} moves like {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, and Water-type moves like {{M|Surf}} and {{M|Water Pulse}}. They can also learn {{m|DragonBreath}}, {{M|Confuse Ray}}, {{M|Hypnosis}}, and {{M|Mirror Coat}} as [[egg move]]s through {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Behavior===
Feebas tend to be quite scarce in their natural range, but wherever they are found, they group together in tightly-packed schools. They're also easy to catch once encountered.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Feebas is an aquatic Pokémon which can survive in both fresh and salt water thanks to its hardy nature. It prefers best ponds that are filled with weeds.

Feebas is known for its extreme rarity and it generally takes a long time to find one in the main series games where they are only found in a set number of randomly chosen fishing "tiles" on large bodies of water. For example, [[Route 119]] in [[Hoenn]] has hundreds of squares that the fishing rod can be used on in the river that runs down it but Feebas is only found in six of them. In [[Sinnoh]], Feebas is only found in four of the hundreds of squares which comprise the lake in [[Mt. Coronet]]'s basement which change daily. However, Feebas are actually very common where they are found making it easy to catch multiple members of the species once one has been located.

The [[Magikarp Salesman]] sold a Feebas to [[Team Rocket]] in ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'' but it was actually a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Magikarp}} in disguise.

Another, in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution]]'', was nicknamed the loveliest Feebas of all.

In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland!]]'', a Feebas under the ownership of [[Johanna]] was an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}.

A Feebas also appeared in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]''.

Another Feebas also appeared in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Though its level-up moves are exactly the same as those of {{p|Magikarp}}, Feebas can be taught [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s, hatch from an egg with [[egg move]]s, and learn tutored new moves, making it slightly more useful in battle.
* Feebas shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Magikarp}}. They are both known as the Fish Pokémon.
* Feebas is currently the only Pokémon that needs a modification of its contest stats for it to evolve.
* Feebas has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} of any Pokémon, tied with {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Bonsly}}.
* The probability of finding a water tile with Feebas in [[Mount Coronet|Mt.Coronet]] is '''1/132'''. (The size of the pond is 18x34=612 tiles; The rock tiles sum 84; the water tiles in the pond are 528. If 4 of the 528 tiles have Feebas, the probability of finding a Feebas is 4/528. 528:4 = 132)
* Feebas has the lowest maximum Performance of any Pokémon, only capable of reaching 11 stars.

===Origin===
As its name suggests, Feebas is probably based on a {{wp|bass (fish)|bass}}. Its ugly appearance makes it appear to be also based from the concept of ugliness, appearing to don a wash of ugly makeup. It also seems to be based on the classic {{wp|fairy tale}}, the {{wp|The Ugly Duckling}}, where a small and feeble "''ugly duckling''," treated as an outcast by other animals, blossoms into a beautiful {{wp|swan}}.

====Name origin====
Feebas's name is a combination of ''feeble'', meaning small and weak, and ''bass''.

''Hinbass'' is a combination of 貧 ''hin'', poor, and ''bass''. "Hin" may also come from the words "hind," as in behind, or "hinder."

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Barschwa - From ''Barsch'' (bass).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Barpau - From ''bar'' (bass).

'''Feebas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒンバス''' ''Hinbass'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Milotic}} by level-up when its [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] condition is high.

==Biology==
===Physiology===

Feebas are somewhat shabby, old-looking basses with tattered blue fins and a tall, arch-shaped fin that juts from its back. Its rough-textured body is dotted in several old spots resembling rocks. It has large, gloomy eyes and big lips frozen into a frown.

As their [[Beauty Contest|beauty]] increases, their rocky scales begin to gleam like diamond. It shows that {{p|Milotic|evolution}} is very near.

====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Although appearing to be old and worthless, Feebas are capable of learning powerful {{type2|Ice}} moves like {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, and Water-type moves like {{M|Surf}} and {{M|Water Pulse}}. They can also learn {{m|DragonBreath}}, {{M|Confuse Ray}}, {{M|Hypnosis}}, and {{M|Mirror Coat}} as [[egg move]]s through {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Behavior===
Feebas tend to be quite scarce in their natural range, but wherever they are found, they group together in tightly-packed schools. They're also easy to catch once encountered.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Feebas is an aquatic Pokémon which can survive in both fresh and salt water thanks to its hardy nature. It prefers best ponds that are filled with weeds.

Feebas is known for its extreme rarity and it generally takes a long time to find one in the main series games where they are only found in a set number of randomly chosen fishing "tiles" on large bodies of water. For example, [[Route 119]] in [[Hoenn]] has hundreds of squares that the fishing rod can be used on in the river that runs down it but Feebas is only found in six of them. In [[Sinnoh]], Feebas is only found in four of the hundreds of squares which comprise the lake in [[Mt. Coronet]]'s basement which change daily. However, Feebas are actually very common where they are found making it easy to catch multiple members of the species once one has been located.

==Trivia==
* Though its level-up moves are exactly the same as those of {{p|Magikarp}}, Feebas can be taught [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s, hatch from an egg with [[egg move]]s, and learn tutored new moves, making it slightly more useful in battle.
* Feebas shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Magikarp}}. They are both known as the Fish Pokémon.
* Feebas is currently the only Pokémon that needs a modification of its contest stats for it to evolve.
* Feebas has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} of any Pokémon, tied with {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Bonsly}}.
* The probability of finding a water tile with Feebas in [[Mount Coronet|Mt.Coronet]] is '''1/132'''. (The size of the pond is 18x34=612 tiles; The rock tiles sum 84; the water tiles in the pond are 528. If 4 of the 528 tiles have Feebas, the probability of finding a Feebas is 4/528. 528:4 = 132)
* Feebas has the lowest maximum Performance of any Pokémon, only capable of reaching 11 stars.

===Origin===
As its name suggests, Feebas is probably based on a {{wp|bass (fish)|bass}}. Its ugly appearance makes it appear to be also based from the concept of ugliness, appearing to don a wash of ugly makeup. It also seems to be based on the classic {{wp|fairy tale}}, the {{wp|The Ugly Duckling}}, where a small and feeble "''ugly duckling''," treated as an outcast by other animals, blossoms into a beautiful {{wp|swan}}.

====Name origin====
Feebas's name is a combination of ''feeble'', meaning small and weak, and ''bass''.

''Hinbass'' is a combination of 貧 ''hin'', poor, and ''bass''. "Hin" may also come from the words "hind," as in behind, or "hinder."

'''Milotic''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミロカロス''' ''Milokaross'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Feebas}} by level-up when Feebas's [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] condition is high.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Milotic's appearance is similar to that of a sea serpent, and it is likely based on an {{wp|Oarfish}}. Milotic’s sinuous body is mostly cream in coloration, with red eyes and three black dots down its neck. The top of its head is long, with a point at the end, and long, thin red ‘eyebrows’ extending from above its eyes and thicker, also red-colored hair-like fins draping from the sides of the head. Its lower tail is covered with blue and pink scales, with striations of black, and four large scales, blue with red spots in the middle, overlap at the tip of the tail to look like a fan. Milotic is described in the Pokédex as breathtakingly beautiful.

====Gender differences====
The female's eyebrow fins are longer than the male's. Also, in {{game|Platinum}} the female's antennae are colored blue when it is {{pkmn2|shiny}}.

====Special abilities====
Milotic have the ability to calm their enemies by removing their negative feelings, this suggests that they possess empathetic abilities similar to some species of {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

Milotic can move by floating in the air as shown in the anime.

===Behavior===
Milotic is a peaceful Pokémon that typically tries to avoid battles. It appears to dislike conflict, and will even appear before arguing humans in an attempt to calm their minds. It is a historically significant Pokémon, and has been depicted in many works of art.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]

==In the anime==
[[Image:JohannaMilotic.jpg|left|thumb|[[Johanna]] and her Milotic in Dawn's dream in ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]''.]]
Milotic first appeared under the ownership of {{ho|Robert}} in ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]''. Robert used Milotic again for the [[Grand Festival]].

[[Juan]]'s Milotic was first seen in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]''. Juan used it against {{Ash}} for the Gym Battle in [[AG111|the following episode]], being his strongest and last Pokémon.

{{DL|Battle Frontier (Hoenn)|Battle Pike}} Queen {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}} used a Milotic to battle against [[Ash's Donphan]] and {{AP|Pikachu}} in ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine]]''. Lucy's Milotic defeated the former of the two and lost to the latter.

In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland!]]'', a Feebas under the ownership of [[Johanna]] evolved into a Milotic, though it was only an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}.
[[Image:WallaceWithMilotic.png|thumb|right|Wallace and his Milotic.]]

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

A Milotic appeared in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' under [[Wallace]]'s ownership as his main Contest Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* In the anime, all of the Milotic that appeared were under the ownership of a [[Pokémon Coordinator]], a part-time Coordinator or a [[Frontier Brain]].
* In the official [[Prima's Official Strategy Guides|Prima Strategy Guide]] for {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Milotic was erroneously stated to have the {{a|Torrent}} [[ability]].
* In many ways, Milotic is the [[Hoenn]] counterpart of [[Kanto]]'s {{p|Gyarados}}. Both are the evolved forms of incredibly weak fish Pokémon, and both appear in times of conflict, Milotic to becalm, Gyarados to destroy. Both have base stat totals of 540, the only difference being the distribution of their stats: Milotic is more defensively based while Gyarados is more offensively based.
** It is also possible it is meant to be a contest version of Gyarados - because Gyarados was introduced in the first generation, and Milotic was introduced in the first generation with Pokémon contests. This is fortified by Milotic's emphasis being on its beauty, while Gyarados' emphasis is on its power.
* Milotic is the only Pokémon so far to have a particular [[gender differences|gender difference]] visible only in its {{shiny2}} form in Platinum: female shiny Milotic have blue eyebrows while males have red ones. This is apparently a coloring error, as the Diamond and Pearl and HeartGold and SoulSilver sprites have the normal red. Considering that the HeartGold and SoulSilver sprites of all other Generation III Pokémon remain unchanged from Platinum, this is highly likely to be the case.
* Although Milotic's Pokémon Sapphire Pokédex entry states its body glows pink, its Pokémon Emerald sprite depicts it as glowing blue.

===Origin===
Milotic may be based loosely on {{wp|sirens}}, mythical creatures who can hypnotize with their voice to make men attracted to them. An argument can also be made for the possibility it is loosely based on {{wp|Loch Ness Monster and popular culture|the Loch Ness Monster}}. Its similarity to {{p|Dragonair}} suggests as basis in sea serpents or sea dragons as well. It has anatomical similarities with the {{wp|oarfish}}, with a pale, elongated body and extended, red dorsal fins.

====Name origin====
Milotic's name may be a combination of ''aquatic'' or ''melodic'' and ''Milo'', as in the sculpture ''{{wp|Venus de Milo}}'', which is known for being an example of beauty, and like Milotic, possesses no arms. Milotic also has a wide range of healing and defensive moves, so its name may also be a variation on ''mitotic'', descriptive of the healing process of a body part through {{wp|mitosis}}.

''Milokaross'' may be a combination of the aforementioned ''Milo'' and the {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} καλλονή ''kalloni'', meaning beauty or Χάρις ''charis'', beauty, elegance, charm, or grace. See also {{wp|Charites}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Milotic
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Milobellus - From ''Venus de Milo'' and ''bella'' (Italian for "pretty").

A '''Pokémon Super Contest''' is an expanded format of the [[Pokémon Contest]]s for the [[Generation IV]] {{pkmn|games}}. In it, [[Pokémon]] are rated on their appearance and performance, rather than strength. They are different from the previous generation's competitions in that not only do they have more rounds, but rounds from the earlier games have been altered. They come in four rankings in the same five categories as [[Generation III]]: [[Cool Contest|Cool]], [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]], [[Cute Contest|Cute]], [[Smart Contest|Smart]] and [[Tough Contest|Tough]].

All Super Contests are at the [[Contest Hall]] in [[Hearthome City]].

==Competitions==
===Visual Competition===
[[Image:Pokemoncontest.PNG|thumb|right|In the super contest]]
This is the equivalent of the first round of regular contests. As in the previous generation, Pokémon are rated based on their [[condition]] in the appropriate category. These stats can be raised using [[Poffin]]s, rather than the [[Pokéblock]]s of the previous generation.

However, in Super Contests, an extra element is added to these competitions by dressing up the Pokémon with [[accessory|accessories]] found in the [[Fashion Case]]. By using the stylus to drag and drop accessories onto the Pokémon, competitors must dress up their Pokémon as well as they can within the 60 second time limit. These competitions will have a randomly picked theme which the competitors must follow.

In the Normal Rank Competition, a maximum of five accessories may be used. For the next rank, a maximum of ten may be used, and so on.

====Themes====
*The Bright
*The Created
*The Colorful
*The Festive
*The Flexible
*The Gaudy
*The Intangible
*The Natural
*The Relaxed
*The Shapely
*The Sharp
*The Solid

===Dance Competition===
In the next round, all four Pokémon dance on the stage. Competitors control their Pokémon with four buttons known as "Castanets": {{color|{{yellow color}}|Left}}, {{color|{{green color}}|Right}}, {{color|{{red color}}|Front}}, and {{color|{{blue color}}|Jump}}. The dancer in front chooses up to three steps in the Normal Ranks (also Great Rank in Diamond and Pearl), and four in the Great Rank (in Platinum), Ultra and Master Ranks, matching the beat as closely as possible, and then the back-up dancers try to match the lead dancer's moves.

At the bottom of the top screen, a simple {{wp|Staff (music)|music staff}} shows the steps with a bouncing {{p|Jigglypuff}} on top of it keeping the beat.

===Acting Competition===
This is the equivalent of the second round of regular contests. Pokémon perform [[move]]s for one of the three judges, [[Jordan]], [[Contest Judge Dexter|Dexter]] and [[Keira]], to earn appeal points. At the end of each round, judges award extra points to the Pokémon: 3 points if only one Pokémon performed to them, 2 points each if two Pokémon performed to them, 1 point apiece if three Pokémon performed to them, and none if all Pokémon performed to them. This competition has four rounds, rather than the five rounds found in the regular contests. The Pokémon, contrary to the regular contests, get their position by their scoring in reverse. The best scorer goes last and the worst scorer goes first. Performing a Contest-specific move (i.e. a tough move in a tough contest) to any judge causes their voltage to go up by 1, however, an incompatible move (such as a smart move in a cool contest) causes the voltage to go down by 1. The Pokémon who fills the voltage meter gets a bonus +5 points, or +8, if it's Dexter.

==Awards==
The winning Pokémon will receive a [[ribbon]] for the contest type and rank. They will also receive a special accessory the first time the contest is completed successfully.

==Trivia==
* The Contest Ranks are named after the original Kanto [[Poké Ball]]s (Normal, Great, Ultra, Master). They also were in [[Generation III]], although it seems the translation team did not catch this, as back then the ''Japanese'' Poké Ball names (Normal, Super, Hyper, Master) were used in the English versions.
* Pokémon that have ribbons earned in [[Generation III]] contests do not have any advantage when entering a Super Contest; they must go through all four ranks no matter what.
* Pokémon back sprites are often flipped in the Acting portion of the contest, but there are exceptions for noticeably asymmetrical Pokémon, such as {{p|Togekiss}} and {{p|Budew}}.
* There appears to be a formal or semi-formal dress code for Super Contest entrants—in the [[Generation IV]] games, the player character is given a tuxedo or dress (dependent on gender) by Johanna prior to their first contest, and anime characters are also required to dress up for Sinnoh region contests (though {{Ash}} didn't do so in his first contest).
* In {{game|Platinum}}, the Pokémon keep their sprite from Diamond and Pearl during the Dress Up and Dance competitions, likely due to points being awarded based on where on the Pokémon the accessories are placed.

'''Feebas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒンバス''' ''Hinbass'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Milotic}} by level-up when its [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] condition is high.

Feebas is known for its extreme rarity and it generally takes a long time to find one in the main series games where they are only found in a set number of randomly chosen fishing "tiles" on large bodies of water. For example, [[Route 119]] in [[Hoenn]] has hundreds of squares that the fishing rod can be used on in the river that runs down it but Feebas is only found in six of them. In [[Sinnoh]], Feebas is only found in four of the hundreds of squares which comprise the lake in [[Mt. Coronet]]'s basement which change daily. However, Feebas are actually very common where they are found making it easy to catch multiple members of the species once one has been located.

==Biology==
===Physiology===

Feebas are somewhat shabby, old-looking basses with tattered blue fins and a tall, arch-shaped fin that juts from its back. Its rough-textured body is dotted in several old spots resembling rocks. It has large, gloomy eyes and big lips frozen into a frown.

As their [[Beauty Contest|beauty]] increases, their rocky scales begin to gleam like diamond. It shows that {{p|Milotic|evolution}} is very near.

====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Although appearing to be old and worthless, Feebas are capable of learning powerful {{type2|Ice}} moves like {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, and Water-type moves like {{M|Surf}} and {{M|Water Pulse}}. They can also learn {{m|DragonBreath}}, {{M|Confuse Ray}}, {{M|Hypnosis}}, and {{M|Mirror Coat}} as [[egg move]]s through {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Behavior===
Feebas tend to be quite scarce in their natural range, but wherever they are found, they group together in tightly-packed schools. They're also easy to catch once encountered.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Feebas is an aquatic Pokémon which can survive in both fresh and salt water thanks to its hardy nature. It prefers best ponds that are filled with weeds.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:JohannaFeebas.jpg|right|thumb|220px|[[Johanna]] and a Feebas in Dawn's dream in ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland!]]'']]
Feebas has appeared six times in the {{pkmn|anime}}. One was biting [[Jessie]]'s hair in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]''.

The [[Magikarp Salesman]] sold a Feebas to [[Team Rocket]] in ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'' but it was actually a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Magikarp}} in disguise.

Another, in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution]]'', was nicknamed the loveliest Feebas of all.

In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland!]]'', a Feebas under the ownership of [[Johanna]] was an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}.

A Feebas also appeared in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]''.

Another Feebas also appeared in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{Adventures|Ruby}} obtained a Feebas by accidentally catching it while fishing. Thinking it was ugly, he kept throwing it back until he decided to keep it. During the flood caused by [[Kyogre]], Feebas ran away but returned when Ruby was attacked by [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]]. After declaring it had inner beauty, Feebas evolved into [[Milotic]].

==Trivia==
* Though its level-up moves are exactly the same as those of {{p|Magikarp}}, Feebas can be taught [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s, hatch from an egg with [[egg move]]s, and learn tutored new moves, making it slightly more useful in battle.
* Feebas shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Magikarp}}. They are both known as the Fish Pokémon.
* Feebas is currently the only Pokémon that needs a modification of its contest stats for it to evolve.
* Feebas has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} of any Pokémon, tied with {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Bonsly}}.
* The probability of finding a water tile with Feebas in [[Mount Coronet|Mt.Coronet]] is '''1/132'''. (The size of the pond is 18x34=612 tiles; The rock tiles sum 84; the water tiles in the pond are 528. If 4 of the 528 tiles have Feebas, the probability of finding a Feebas is 4/528. 528:4 = 132)
* Feebas has the lowest maximum Performance of any Pokémon, only capable of reaching 11 stars.
** Although Feebas has average Special Defense stat and a hardy nature, it Stamina Perfomance is only 1 star.

===Origin===
As its name suggests, Feebas is probably based on a {{wp|bass (fish)|bass}}. Its ugly appearance makes it appear to be also based from the concept of ugliness, appearing to don a wash of ugly makeup. It also seems to be based on the classic {{wp|fairy tale}}, the {{wp|The Ugly Duckling}}, where a small and feeble "''ugly duckling''," treated as an outcast by other animals, blossoms into a beautiful {{wp|swan}}.

====Name origin====
Feebas's name is a combination of ''feeble'', meaning small and weak, and ''bass''.

''Hinbass'' is a combination of 貧 ''hin'', poor, and ''bass''. "Hin" may also come from the words "hind," as in behind, or "hinder."

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Feebas}} by level-up when Feebas's [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] condition is high.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Milotic's appearance is similar to that of a sea serpent, and it is likely based on an {{wp|Oarfish}}. Milotic’s sinuous body is mostly cream in coloration, with red eyes and three black dots down its neck. The top of its head is long, with a point at the end, and long, thin red ‘eyebrows’ extending from above its eyes and thicker, also red-colored hair-like fins draping from the sides of the head. Its lower tail is covered with blue and pink scales, with striations of black, and four large scales, blue with red spots in the middle, overlap at the tip of the tail to look like a fan. Milotic is described in the Pokédex as breathtakingly beautiful.

====Gender differences====
The female's eyebrow fins are longer than the male's. Also, in {{game|Platinum}} the female's antennae are colored blue when it is {{pkmn2|shiny}}.

====Special abilities====
Milotic have the ability to calm their enemies by removing their negative feelings, this suggests that they possess empathetic abilities similar to some species of {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

Milotic can move by floating in the air as shown in the animé and in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].

===Behavior===
Milotic is a peaceful Pokémon that typically tries to avoid battles. It appears to dislike conflict, and will even appear before arguing humans in an attempt to calm their minds. It is a historically significant Pokémon, and has been depicted in many works of art.

In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland!]]'', a Feebas under the ownership of [[Johanna]] evolved into a Milotic, though it was only an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}.
[[Image:WallaceWithMilotic.png|thumb|right|Wallace and his Milotic.]]

==Trivia==
* In the anime, all of the Milotic that appeared were under the ownership of a [[Pokémon Coordinator]], a part-time Coordinator or a [[Frontier Brain]].
* In the official [[Prima's Official Strategy Guides|Prima Strategy Guide]] for {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Milotic was erroneously stated to have the {{a|Torrent}} [[ability]].
* In many ways, Milotic is the [[Hoenn]] counterpart of [[Kanto]]'s {{p|Gyarados}}. Both are the evolved forms of incredibly weak fish Pokémon, and both appear in times of conflict, Milotic to becalm, Gyarados to destroy. Both have base stat totals of 540, the only difference being the distribution of their stats: Milotic is more defensively based while Gyarados is more offensively based.
** It is also possible it is meant to be a contest version of Gyarados - because Gyarados was introduced in the first generation, and Milotic was introduced in the first generation with Pokémon contests. This is fortified by Milotic's emphasis being on its beauty, while Gyarados' emphasis is on its power.
* Milotic is the only Pokémon so far to have a particular [[gender differences|gender difference]] visible only in its {{shiny2}} form in Platinum: female shiny Milotic have blue eyebrows while males have red ones. This is apparently a coloring error, as the Diamond and Pearl and HeartGold and SoulSilver sprites have the normal red. Considering that the HeartGold and SoulSilver sprites of all other Generation III Pokémon remain unchanged from Platinum, this is highly likely to be the case.
* Although Milotic's Pokémon Sapphire Pokédex entry states its body glows pink, its Pokémon Emerald sprite depicts it as glowing blue.

===Origin===
Milotic may be based loosely on {{wp|sirens}}, mythical creatures who can hypnotize with their voice to make men attracted to them. An argument can also be made for the possibility it is loosely based on {{wp|Loch Ness Monster and popular culture|the Loch Ness Monster}}. Its similarity to {{p|Dragonair}} suggests as basis in sea serpents or sea dragons as well. It has anatomical similarities with the {{wp|oarfish}}, with a pale, elongated body and extended, red dorsal fins.

====Name origin====
Milotic's name may be a combination of ''aquatic'' or ''melodic'' and ''Milo'', as in the sculpture ''{{wp|Venus de Milo}}'', which is known for being an example of beauty, and like Milotic, possesses no arms. Milotic also has a wide range of healing and defensive moves, so its name may also be a variation on ''mitotic'', descriptive of the healing process of a body part through {{wp|mitosis}}.

''Milokaross'' may be a combination of the aforementioned ''Milo'' and the {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} καλλονή ''kalloni'', meaning beauty or Χάρις ''charis'', beauty, elegance, charm, or grace. See also {{wp|Charites}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Milotic
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Milobellus - From ''Venus de Milo'' and ''bella'' (Italian for "pretty").

Milotic is a peaceful Pokémon that typically tries to avoid battles. It appears to dislike conflict, and will even appear before arguing humans in an attempt to calm their minds. It is a historically significant Pokémon, and has been depicted in many works of art.

===Habitat===

Milotic first appeared under the ownership of {{ho|Robert}} in ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]''. Robert used Milotic again for the [[Grand Festival]].

[[Juan]]'s Milotic was first seen in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]''. Juan used it against {{Ash}} for the Gym Battle in [[AG111|the following episode]], being his strongest and last Pokémon.

{{DL|Battle Frontier (Hoenn)|Battle Pike}} Queen {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}} used a Milotic to battle against [[Ash's Donphan]] and {{AP|Pikachu}} in ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine]]''. Lucy's Milotic defeated the former of the two and lost to the latter.

In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland!]]'', a Feebas under the ownership of [[Johanna]] evolved into a Milotic, though it was only an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}.

==Trivia==
* In the anime, all of the Milotic that appeared were under the ownership of a [[Pokémon Coordinator]], a part-time Coordinator or a [[Frontier Brain]].
* In the official [[Prima's Official Strategy Guides|Prima Strategy Guide]] for {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Milotic was erroneously stated to have the {{a|Torrent}} [[ability]].
* In many ways, Milotic is the [[Hoenn]] counterpart of [[Kanto]]'s {{p|Gyarados}}. Both are the evolved forms of incredibly weak fish Pokémon, and both appear in times of conflict, Milotic to becalm, Gyarados to destroy. Both have base stat totals of 540, the only difference being the distribution of their stats: Milotic is more defensively based while Gyarados is more offensively based.
** It is also possible it is meant to be a contest version of Gyarados - because Gyarados was introduced in the first generation, and Milotic was introduced in the first generation with Pokémon contests. This is fortified by Milotic's emphasis being on its beauty, while Gyarados' emphasis is on its power.
* Milotic is the only Pokémon so far to have a particular [[gender differences|gender difference]] visible only in its {{shiny2}} form in Platinum: female shiny Milotic have blue eyebrows while males have red ones. This is apparently a coloring error, as the Diamond and Pearl and HeartGold and SoulSilver sprites have the normal red. Considering that the HeartGold and SoulSilver sprites of all other Generation III Pokémon remain unchanged from Platinum, this is highly likely to be the case.
* Although Milotic's Pokémon Sapphire Pokédex entry states its body glows pink, its Pokémon Emerald sprite depicts it as glowing blue.

===Origin===
Milotic may be based loosely on {{wp|sirens}}, mythical creatures who can hypnotize with their voice to make men attracted to them. An argument can also be made for the possibility it is loosely based on {{wp|Loch Ness Monster and popular culture|the Loch Ness Monster}}. Its similarity to {{p|Dragonair}} suggests as basis in sea serpents or sea dragons as well. It has anatomical similarities with the {{wp|oarfish}}, with a pale, elongated body and extended, red dorsal fins.

====Name origin====
Milotic's name may be a combination of ''aquatic'' or ''melodic'' and ''Milo'', as in the sculpture ''{{wp|Venus de Milo}}'', which is known for being an example of beauty, and like Milotic, possesses no arms. Milotic also has a wide range of healing and defensive moves, so its name may also be a variation on ''mitotic'', descriptive of the healing process of a body part through {{wp|mitosis}}.

''Milokaross'' may be a combination of the aforementioned ''Milo'' and the {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} καλλονή ''kalloni'', meaning beauty or Χάρις ''charis'', beauty, elegance, charm, or grace. See also {{wp|Charites}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Milotic
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Milobellus - From ''Venus de Milo'' and ''bella'' (Italian for "pretty").
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 밀로틱 ''Milotic''

Pokémon Super Contest

2009-12-31T11:36:25Z

Mil: /* Dance Competition */ has anyone noticed that there can be 4 steps in Great Rank?

{{Search|contests held in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}}|the contests in [[Generation III]]|Pokémon Contest}}
----
[[Image:Super contest hall.PNG|280px|The Super Contest Hall|thumb]]
A '''Pokémon Super Contest''' is an expanded format of the [[Pokémon Contest]]s for the [[Generation IV]] {{pkmn|games}}. In it, [[Pokémon]] are rated on their appearance and performance, rather than strength. They are different from the previous generation's competitions in that not only do they have more rounds, but rounds from the earlier games have been altered. They come in four rankings in the same five categories as [[Generation III]]: [[Cool Contest|Cool]], [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]], [[Cute Contest|Cute]], [[Smart Contest|Smart]] and [[Tough Contest|Tough]].

All Super Contests are at the [[Contest Hall]] in [[Hearthome City]].

==Competitions==
===Visual Competition===
[[Image:Pokemoncontest.PNG|thumb|right|In the super contest]]
This is the equivalent of the first round of regular contests. As in the previous generation, Pokémon are rated based on their [[condition]] in the appropriate category. These stats can be raised using [[Poffin]]s, rather than the [[Pokéblock]]s of the previous generation.

However, in Super Contests, an extra element is added to these competitions by dressing up the Pokémon with [[accessory|accessories]] found in the [[Fashion Case]]. By using the stylus to drag and drop accessories onto the Pokémon, competitors must dress up their Pokémon as well as they can within the 60 second time limit. These competitions will have a randomly picked theme which the competitors must follow.

In the Normal Rank Competition, a maximum of five accessories may be used. For the next rank, a maximum of ten may be used, and so on.

====Themes====
*The Bright
*The Created
*The Colorful
*The Festive
*The Flexible
*The Gaudy
*The Intangible
*The Natural
*The Relaxed
*The Shapely
*The Sharp
*The Solid

===Dance Competition===
In the next round, all four Pokémon dance on the stage. Competitors control their Pokémon with four buttons known as "Castanets": {{color|{{yellow color}}|Left}}, {{color|{{green color}}|Right}}, {{color|{{red color}}|Front}}, and {{color|{{blue color}}|Jump}}. The dancer in front chooses up to three steps in the Normal Ranks, and four in the Great, Ultra and Master Ranks, matching the beat as closely as possible, and then the back-up dancers try to match the lead dancer's moves.

At the bottom of the top screen, a simple {{wp|Staff (music)|music staff}} shows the steps with a bouncing {{p|Jigglypuff}} on top of it keeping the beat.

===Acting Competition===
This is the equivalent of the second round of regular contests. Pokémon perform [[move]]s for one of the three judges, [[Jordan]], [[Contest Judge Dexter|Dexter]] and [[Keira]], to earn appeal points. At the end of each round, judges award extra points to the Pokémon: 3 points if only one Pokémon performed to them, 2 points each if two Pokémon performed to them, 1 point apiece if three Pokémon performed to them, and none if all Pokémon performed to them. This competition has four rounds, rather than the five rounds found in the regular contests. The Pokémon, contrary to the regular contests, get their position by their scoring in reverse. The best scorer goes last and the worst scorer goes first. Performing a Contest-specific move (i.e. a tough move in a tough contest) to any judge causes their voltage to go up by 1, however, an incompatible move (such as a smart move in a cool contest) causes the voltage to go down by 1. The Pokémon who fills the voltage meter gets a bonus +5 points, or +8, if it's Dexter.

==Awards==
The winning Pokémon will receive a [[ribbon]] for the contest type and rank. They will also receive a special accessory the first time the contest is completed successfully.

==Trivia==
* The Contest Ranks are named after the original Kanto [[Poké Ball]]s (Normal, Great, Ultra, Master). They also were in [[Generation III]], although it seems the translation team did not catch this, as back then the ''Japanese'' Poké Ball names (Normal, Super, Hyper, Master) were used in the English versions.
* Pokémon that have ribbons earned in [[Generation III]] contests do not have any advantage when entering a Super Contest; they must go through all four ranks no matter what.
* Pokémon back sprites are often flipped in the Acting portion of the contest, but there are exceptions for noticeably asymmetrical Pokémon, such as {{p|Togekiss}} and {{p|Budew}}.
* There appears to be a formal or semi-formal dress code for Super Contest entrants—in the [[Generation IV]] games, the player character is given a tuxedo or dress (dependent on gender) by Johanna prior to their first contest, and anime characters are also required to dress up for Sinnoh region contests (though {{Ash}} didn't do so in his first contest).
* In {{game|Platinum}}, the Pokémon keep their sprite from Diamond and Pearl during the Dress Up and Dance competitions, likely due to points being awarded based on where on the Pokémon the accessories are placed.

==Characteristics==
The Fire type has its pros and cons defensively. Ground, Rock, and Water moves are all very common, while most of the Fire-type's resistances are of little use. Fire-type Pokémon will not survive too long in battle; they must deal damage quickly in order to earn their slot on a team. This reflects the nature of fire being a glass cannon; a very destructive force yet at the same time being very fragile. However, not only does Fire have 5 resistances, but its also immune to the Burn condition making Pokémon of this type key physical sweepers. Also, most Fire types can at least learn {{m|SolarBeam}} to counter all three of the type's weaknesses.

Offensively, Fire is very useful. The ability to deal [[super effective]] damage to Steel-type Pokémon is very useful for Pokémon that specialize in [[physical moves]], as many Steel-type Pokémon typically have high {{stat|Defense}} but a low {{stat|Special Defense}} and would have little trouble with any physical moves thrown at them. Also Fire moves are generally powerful, with half of its damaging moves having 100 or more for power and 11 out of 16 having 80 or more.

Quantity-wise, Fire-types are rare, with only 17 fully evolved Pokémon among the total amount of 33, of which there are four [[legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] and four [[starter Pokémon]]. Technically, this means that only nine Fire-type Pokémon are easily available. This makes sense as most forms of fire are extremely rare in nature. Fire-types are much rarer in colder regions than in warmer ones, as proven with [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]]'s Pokédex listings, which have the most and the least Fire-types, respectively, if not counting the Johto Dex (which counted all ten Fire-type evolution families that were known at the time). Fire types often have below average defense stats, but high speed and attack stats, making them lethal damaging Pokémon.

When used in contests, Fire-type moves typically become [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, but some may be [[Tough Contest|Tough]] or [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves.

==Trivia==
* Fifteen of the eighteen Fire-type moves are Beauty moves in Contests. The only three that aren't Beauty moves were newly introduced in [[Generation IV]], meaning that in [[Generation III]], all Fire-type moves were Beauty moves.
* It is interesting to note that in the Hoenn region games, Fire-type moves could be used [[underwater]] and Fire-types like {{p|Charmander}} were able to battle underwater, even though its Pokédex entries point out that it will die if its flame goes out.
* The three types that Fire is weak to (Ground, Rock, and Water) all share a weakness to {{type2|Grass}} attacks.
* {{p|Torkoal}} is the only non-legendary Fire-type not related by evolution to another Pokémon.
* All Fire-type Pokémon have yellow, orange, or red color somewhere on their body.
** {{p|Houndour}} and {{p|Houndoom}} are the only two Fire-types that are not categorized by the Pokédex as [[List of Pokémon by color#Red|Red]], [[List of Pokémon by color#Yellow|Yellow]], or [[List of Pokémon by color#Brown|Brown]] (both being categorized as [[List of Pokémon by color#Black|Black]]).
* Every Fire-type starter family has at least one member whose name begins with a C.
** This means that every generation so far has introduced a Fire-type whose name begins with a C.
* Of all [[status move]]s, the second least common type among them is the Fire-type, tied with {{t|Fighting}}- and {{type2|Steel}}s.
* {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} have been criticized for the severe lack of Fire-types in the Sinnoh Pokédex (the {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Ponyta}} lines being the only ones), which became apparent when {{EF|Flint}}'s team only had two Fire-types (the final forms of those two lines). This was fixed in Platinum with the expansion of the Sinnoh dex to include the {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Magmar}}, and {{p|Eevee}} families.
* {{p|Vulpix}} and {{p|Ninetales}} are the only Fire-type Pokémon whose [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|gender ratio]] makes males rarer than females.
* {{p|Houndour}} and {{p|Houndoom}} are the only Pokémon with Fire as a secondary type.
* In the main Pokémon games since [[Generation III]], the Fire-type has been represented by the color orange. However, in most other Pokémon media, the Fire-type has been associated with the color red, including the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], [[Pokémon Stadium]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. Ironically, one [[Generation III]] game is titled [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed]], despite being represented by the color orange in the in-game universe. Also, many orange-colored Pokémon (especially Fire-types) are placed in the [[List of Pokémon by color#Red|Red]] color category, as no orange category exists.
** Also, the [[Cool Contest|Cool]] attribute uses a similar shade of orange that represents the Fire-type, despite being described as red in-text. Strangely, no Fire-type moves are Cool moves.
* As of [[Generation IV]], every Fire-type Pokémon is weak against Water. All other types have at least one Pokémon with a secondary type that nullifies each of their weaknesses (such as {{p|Cradily}}, a {{type2|Grass}}, having its type's {{t|Flying}} weakness nullified by its secondary {{type2|Rock}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}}, also a Grass-type, having Grass's {{t|Ice}} weakness nullified by being an Ice-type itself). For a Fire-type Pokémon to ''not'' be weak to Water-type moves, it would have to either be paired with Grass, {{t|Dragon}}, or Water itself.

==Characteristics==
The Ice-type is considered by many to be the worst of all types defensively. It only resists itself, while carrying many common weaknesses to {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Steel}}, such as {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{p|Scizor}}'s {{m|Bullet Punch}} and the randomly-carried {{m|Fire Blast}} meant to cover the much sturdier Steel-types. These defensive weaknesses are reduced somewhat by the rarity of pure Ice-types.

Offensive-wise, though, Ice is one of the most powerful and most commonly used types. Double weaknesses to Ice are very common (especially among {{type2|Dragon}}s, whose final forms are all doubly weak), while only two non-Ice-types doubly resist Ice: {{p|Empoleon}} and {{p|Heatran}}. Ice also pairs strongly with other common attacking types, notably {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Electric}}. {{type2|Water}}s can also effectively use Ice attacks, which cover their major weakness of {{t|Grass}}, as well as {{t|Dragon}}, which resists their moves.

When used in contests, Ice-type moves typically become [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, but some may be [[Cool Contest|Cool]] moves.

In total, there are 22 Pokémon with the Ice-type.

==Trivia==
* Pure Ice-type species were not introduced until [[Generation III]]. As of Generation IV, there are only four pure Ice-types.
* Thirteen of the fifteen Ice-type moves are Beauty moves in Contests. The only two that aren't are new in [[Generation IV]], meaning that in Hoenn Contests, ''all'' Ice-type moves were Beauty moves.
* All damaging Ice-type moves have a secondary effect.
** As of Generation IV, half of them are [[Physical move]]s and the other half are [[Special move]]s.
* Only the Normal-type has a lower number of resistances than the Ice-type, having no resistances (but one immunity). Ice only resists itself.
* With the exception of the Dragon-type, all types that are weak to Ice have been combined with it on at least one Pokémon.
* There has been a [[Gym Leader]] or [[Elite Four|Elite Four member]] who specializes in the Ice introduced in each generation, with the Gym Leaders introduced in even-numbered generations and the Elite Four members introduced in odd-numbered ones.
*[[Pryce]] is the only known male Ice-type specialist. The others, [[Candice]], [[Lorelei]], and [[Glacia]], are all female.
* Both of the Ice-type specialists who are [[Gym Leader]]s, Pryce and Candice, are the seventh Gym Leader in their respective region, which appears in Generation IV.

Party

2009-12-27T12:38:15Z

Mil:

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Characteristics==
Psychic-types have been a fairly popular type since [[Generation I]]. Offensively speaking, they often have great Special Attack meaning they can deal damage quickly using STAB moves. Furthermore, Psychic-type Pokémon can often learn moves of other elemental types, to deal with a multitude of types, most especially their weaknesses of Dark, Ghost, and Bug. As a special sweeper, they are one of the best types in the game as a Psychic Pokémon's speed is also typically quite high.

Their defensive capabilities are often weak, however, in spite of some Psychic-types featuring moves such as {{m|Recover}} (Alakazam, Mewtwo, Deoxys, Latios, Latias, Starmie, Celebi, Chimecho, Medicham, Lugia). Psychic-types often have excellent Special Defense, but very low Defense and HP. Because of this, they can often only survive Special-based hits, and can easily be defeated by one or two high-powered moves from a Pokémon with an average or above-average Attack stat. Psychic Pokémon also often fall to a single {{m|Crunch}}. There are exceptions to this, such as {{p|Bronzong}} or {{p|Metagross}}, who have high defense due to their second type, {{t|Steel}}, and their lack of weakness to Dark-type moves.

When used in contests, Psychic-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but can also be of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Tough Contest|Tough]].

In total, there are 53 Pokémon with the Psychic-type.

==Balance issues==
Psychic-type Pokémon are at the center of a balance issue in the [[Generation I]] games. The issue arose from the lack of an effective countermeasure against Psychic-types caused by the absence of any powerful {{type2|Bug}} moves (at the time the only elemental weaknesses of Psychic-types). Additionally, Psychic-types were not affected by {{type2|Ghost}} moves in Generation I, causing further imbalance, although there were no powerful damaging moves that were of the Ghost-type anyway, except for {{m|Night Shade}}, which does fixed damage. Additionally, the only Ghost-type Pokémon (the {{p|Gastly}} evolution line) were all part {{t|Poison}}, which is weak to Psychic moves.

The issue was rectified in later generations with the addition of more powerful Ghost and Bug-type moves, pure Ghost-type Pokémon, changing Ghost-type moves to be super-effective against Psychic-type, the addition of the {{type2|Steel}} (which are resistant to Psychic moves) and the {{type2|Dark}} (which are both immune to Psychic moves and powerful against Psychic Pokémon themselves).

==Trivia==
* Currently, {{m|Psycho Cut}} and {{m|Zen Headbutt}} are the only [[Physical move|physical]] Psychic-type moves.
* Psychic is the most common type for [[legendary Pokémon]].
** In fact, every single Generation so far has at least two legendaries representing that type.
* As of Generation IV, all but three legendary Pokémon learn at least one Psychic move by leveling up; they are {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Heatran}}, and {{p|Phione}}.
* Psychic is the only type that shares its name with {{m|Psychic|a move}} and a Trainer Class.
* Despite often being known as the most powerful type, due to the balance issue during [[Generation I]], it was not until Generation IV that {{p|Croagunk|a Pokémon}} and {{p|Toxicroak|its evolution}} that have a double weakness to Psychic moves were introduced.
* All Psychic-type Pokémon from Generations I and II are weak to Dark-type moves, as there were no dual type Psychic/Fighting or Psychic/Steel to counter the weakness.
* There has been one Elite Four member or Gym-Leader specializing in Psychic-type Pokémon in every generation.
* Even though Aura and Psychic abilities aren't confirmed to be the same, one of Sabrina's quotes in FireRed and LeafGreen suggests that Psychic abilities and Aura are at least similar to each other in description: "Psychic power isn't something that only a few people have. Everyone has psychic power. People just don't realize it."

Status condition

2009-12-27T10:59:42Z

Mil: /* Sleep */

{{redirect|Freeze|the glitch|game freeze}}

'''Status ailments''' affect a [[Pokémon]]'s ability to battle. There are three kinds of status. The first are non-volatile, the second are volatile, and the third lasts while a Pokémon is in battle.

==Non-volatile status==
Non-volatile status ailments are status ailments that will remain until a Pokémon is healed at a [[Pokémon Center]], a specific [[status ailment healing item|curative item]] is used, or, in case of Freeze and Sleep, after a certain amount of turns during the battle. A Pokémon inflicted with a non-volatile status will still be affected after being pulled out of battle (unless they have the {{a|Natural Cure}} ability), and after a battle is over. It is only possible for a Pokémon to be afflicted by one of these at a time. In [[Generation III]] and beyond, certain [[abilities]] will cause or prevent them, as well as benefit from them.

===Burn===
The burn condition reduces a Pokémon's Attack power by half (except for Pokémon with the {{a|Guts}} ability, where this condition raises Attack by 50%). Additionally, at the end of a turn, the Pokémon loses 1/8 its maximum hit points (in [[Generation I]] (or in the case of Pokémon with the ability {{a|Heatproof}}), the Pokémon loses 1/16 of its maximum hit points). {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon and Pokémon with the {{a|Water Veil}} ability cannot be burned. All [[List of moves that burn|moves which can cause burn]] are Fire-type except for {{m|Tri Attack}} and {{m|Fling}} when the [[Flame Orb]] is held.

===Freeze===
[[Image:EP189.png|left|thumb|A frozen {{an|Jigglypuff}}]]
The freeze condition causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move. Most Fire-type moves used on a frozen Pokémon will remove the freeze status. As of [[Generation II]], freeze has a random, ~10% chance to be cured on its own on the frozen Pokémon's turn. Because of this, the frozen Pokémon may thaw out on the very turn of freezing, however, in Generation I, a frozen Pokémon never thaws. Contrary to popular belief, [[weather conditions#Bright sunlight|sunny weather]] does '''not''' cause a quicker thawing, but it can prevent a Pokémon from freezing in the first place.

{{type2|Ice}} Pokémon cannot be frozen by Ice-type moves except in [[Generation I]]; however, they can be frozen by Tri Attack. A frozen Pokémon can still use the moves {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|Sacred Fire}} and {{m|Flare Blitz}}; when used while frozen, these moves will thaw the user, thaw the opponent if possible, and deal damage to the opponent. All [[List of moves that freeze|moves which cause freezing]] are Ice-type except Tri Attack. It is also the only non-volatile status which has no move that causes it 100% of the time. Also, there is no move that has more than a 10% chance of freezing.

A frozen [[Sky Forme]] {{p|Shaymin}} will revert to its [[Land Forme]].

===Paralysis===
A Pokémon inflicted with paralysis will be unable to attack ("fully paralyzed") a quarter of the time. Additionally, its Speed is reduced to 25% of its previous value (except for Pokémon with the {{a|Quick Feet}} ability, where this condition raises the Speed by 50%). Many [[List of moves that paralyze|moves that cause paralysis]] are of the {{t|Electric}} type.

===Poison===
A poisoned Pokémon loses 1/8 of its maximum hit points every turn (in [[Generation I]], it loses 1/16). {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon cannot be poisoned. {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon cannot be poisoned in [[Generation III]] and beyond (In [[Generation II]], a Steel type Pokémon cannot be poisoned, unless {{m|Twineedle}} afflicts it.)

A poisoned Pokémon also loses 1 hit point for every four steps taken while not in battle. In [[Generation IV]], a Pokémon whose HP is reduced to 1 via poison outside of battle will have the poison status removed. All [[List of moves that poison|moves that can poison]] are of the Poison-type except {{m|Twineedle}} and {{m|Secret Power}}.

====Badly poisoned====
The status ailment caused by {{m|Toxic}} and {{m|Poison Fang}}, as well as by {{m|Toxic Spikes}} after it is used twice, is the same as Poison except its damage begins at 1/16 and grows an additional 1/16 every turn, taking 2/16 max hit points the second turn, then 3/16 the third turn, and 4/16 the fourth, and so on. In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], switching a Pokémon out of active battle would change the badly poisoned condition to normal poison. In [[Generation III]] and beyond, the "badly poisoned" effect will remain even after switching a Pokémon out of battle and back in, but the damage counter will be reset. After a battle is over, the "badly poisoned" status will become a normal poison. All [[List of moves that poison|moves which can badly poison]] are of the Poison-type except {{m|Fling}}, which badly poisons only if {{DL|In-battle effect item|Toxic Orb}} is held.

===Sleep===
[[Image:Sleep.png|right|{{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} sleeping|thumb]]
A Pokémon that is asleep is unable to use any moves (in a situation almost identical to the Freeze condition), except for two special moves which may be used while asleep ({{m|Snore}} and {{m|Sleep Talk}}). Sleep lasts for a randomly chosen duration of 1 to 5 turns (1 to 3 in Stadium). Sleep may be self-induced for 3 turns (inclusive of the initial turn) using the move {{m|Rest}}, which will remove any other non-volatile status ailment. There are currently no moves that cause both sleep and damage, though {{m|Secret Power}} is capable of doing so if it is used in long grass. In Generation I, a Pokémon that wakes up is not able to attack that same turn, but since Generation II, it is able to attack as soon as the sleep wears off.

==Volatile status==
A volatile status will wear off when a Pokémon is taken out of battle or a battle is over. Many of these will also wear off after a number of turns pass. All of these conditions may be passed to another Pokémon by using {{m|Baton Pass}} unless stated otherwise.

===Attraction===
A Pokémon that is attracted to its foe cannot attack it 50% of the time. A Pokémon can only successfully use {{m|Attract}} on opponents of the opposite gender; genderless Pokémon are both immune to this condition and unable to inflict it on others, except for [[Mew]] (Genderless Pokémon can only be attracted to another genderless Pokémon). Pokémon with the {{A|Oblivious}} ability are also immune to this. Attract status cannot be passed with Baton Pass. Attraction will end as soon as the Pokémon that used it or the Pokémon that it is used on leaves the battle.

===Confusion===
A Pokémon will hurt itself in its confusion 50% of the time. The damage is done as if the Pokémon attacked itself with a 40-power typeless physical attack.

Confusion wears off after 1-4 attacking turns. This means that turns recharging, such as after using {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and turns unable to attack, such as from paralysis, will not lower the remaining number of turns of confusion. However, a sleeping Pokémon may hurt itself in confusion if using a move such as {{m|Snore}} or {{m|Sleep Talk}}.

Multi-turn attacks such as {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Dive}} require that confusion be checked both turns, further reducing the chance of successful attack. Pokémon with the {{a|Own Tempo}} ability are also immune to [[List of moves that confuse|moves that cause confusion]].

Confusion is transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

A [[Ninja Boy]] on [[Route 211]] erroneously states that confusion only wears off if the Pokémon is switched out.

===Curse===
If a {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon uses {{m|Curse}}, the Pokémon it is used on loses ¼ its maximum hit points every turn, and the user immediately loses half of their maximum hit points in exchange. If any non-{{t|Ghost}} type Pokémon uses Curse, their {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} go up one stage, and their {{stat|Speed}} drops one stage. If the victim of a Ghost-type Curse uses {{m|Baton Pass}}, the health-sapping effect is transferred to its replacement. If a Pokémon that has been afflicted by curse is switched out of battle, the effect is lifted. Also, in [[Generation II]], defeating the opponent will prevent the Pokémon it is used on taking damage from Curse on that turn.

===Flinch===
The flinch status is a one-turn status that prevents a Pokémon from attacking. A Pokémon can only flinch if the opponent attacks first. Pokémon with the {{a|Inner Focus}} ability are also immune to this. Most [[List of moves that cause flinching|moves that cause flinching]] are [[physical move]]s.

It is known as cringing in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]].

===Foresight/Odor Sleuth/Miracle Eye===
The opponent's evasion modification will not affect the accuracy of a Pokémon that uses {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, or {{m|Miracle Eye}}. In addition, a {{t|Normal}}- or {{type2|Fighting}} move used by a Pokémon that has used Foresight or Odor Sleuth will affect {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, and {{type2|Psychic}} moves used by a Pokémon that has used Miracle Eye will affect {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon.

===Leech Seed===
Each turn, a Pokémon hit by {{m|Leech Seed}} loses 1/8 (1/16 in [[Generation I]]) of its maximum hit points. The opponent is healed by the same amount. {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon are immune to {{m|Leech Seed}}. If a Pokémon affected by Leech Seed uses {{m|Baton Pass}}, Leech Seed is transferred to its replacement, even if it is a Grass-type. Even if the affected Pokémon switches again within the battle, if sent out again, the effects still remain (unless Baton Passed again). If the user of Leech Seed switches out, the health granted by the effect is applied to the new replacement. There is no requirement for the Pokémon to use the move again, or even to know it.

===Mind Reader/Lock-On===
When a Pokémon uses {{m|Mind Reader}} or {{m|Lock-On}}, the next damage-dealing move will hit the opponent without fail, even if the opponent uses a move that offers a turn of invulnerability, such as {{m|Fly}}. This effect can be {{m|Baton Pass}}ed.

===Nightmare===
{{m|Nightmare}} only affects a sleeping Pokémon. The sleeping Pokémon loses ¼ of its maximum hit points every turn. If the sleeping Pokémon awakens, then the nightmare will no longer be in effect. If Baton Pass switches out a Pokémon that is not asleep, then the nightmare will no longer be in effect.

===Perish Song===
After three turns, all Pokémon who heard the {{m|Perish Song}} will faint, excluding Pokémon with the {{a|Soundproof}} ability. Any Pokémon who heard it can avoid the effect of fainting if it is switched out before the 3-turn count finishes. {{m|Baton Pass}} transfers the Perish Song countdown.

===Taunt===
{{m|Taunt}} prevents the Pokémon from using any non-damaging moves. This effect will wear off after two to four turns, or if one switches out. Pokémon using {{m|Substitute}} can still be afflicted with this status ailment.

===Torment===
{{m|Torment}} renders the Pokémon incapable of using the same move twice in a row. If the Pokémon is holding a [[Choice item]], it is forced to use {{m|Struggle}} every second turn.

==Volatile battle status==
===Defense Curl===
Using {{m|Defense Curl}} causes the power of {{m|Rollout}} and {{m|Ice Ball}} to double for the Pokémon. This effect is not transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

===Focus Energy===
When a Pokémon uses {{m|Focus Energy}}, its [[critical hit]] rate increases.

===Mean Look/Spider Web/Block===
A Pokémon trapped by {{m|Mean Look}}, {{m|Spider Web}}, or {{m|Block}} cannot switch until the Pokémon that used the move is defeated or switches. The trapped Pokémon can also escape if it is holding the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Shed Shell}}. If a trapped Pokémon uses Baton Pass, the Pokémon brought out will be trapped instead.

===Minimize===
A Pokémon having used {{m|Minimize}} will take double damage if hit by the move {{m|Stomp}} (though this behavior is not present in [[Generation I]]).

===Mist===
{{m|Mist}} prevents a Pokémon's stats from being lowered by the opponent's attacks. The user may still lower its own stats with moves like {{m|Superpower}}. The move {{m|Defog}} cancels out Mist.

===Substitute===
The Pokémon that uses {{m|Substitute}} loses ¼ of its total HP (rounded down) to make a Substitute which will absorb hits until it "breaks" (damage the Substitute has taken is greater than the HP used to make it). From [[Generation II]] onward, Substitutes block all status ailments and will immediately break if a one-hit knockout attack connects with them. In [[Generation I]], however, a substitute only blocks primary status ailments; attacks like {{m|Thunder Wave}} and {{m|Spore}} completely circumvent the Substitute. Substitutes can be transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

===Reflect and Light Screen===
{{m|Reflect}} and {{m|Light Screen}} last for five turns (eight with {{DL|In-battle effect item|Light Clay}}) and heighten the user's entire team's {{stat|Defense}} or {{stat|Special Defense}}, respectively. Either of them can be broken by {{m|Brick Break}} or {{m|Defog}}.

Fainting

2009-11-12T07:26:30Z

Mil: /* Effects of items on fainted Pokémon */

'''Fainting''' is a status ailment featured in which a [[Pokémon]] is no longer able to {{pkmn|battle}}. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, fainting is referred to simply as being [[unable to battle]]. These Pokémon are not always unconscious, but merely do not have the energy, ability, or other reasons to continue battling. Fainted Pokémon are often depicted with stunned expressions or as having spirals in their eyes. In the {{pkmn|game}}s, fainting occurs when a Pokémon reaches zero {{Stat|HP}}. A Pokémon can lose HP through such methods as {{status|Poison}}ing or self-injury inflicted during {{status|Confusion}}. A Pokémon which has fainted is unable to battle until it has been revived, but it is still able to use field moves, such as {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Cut}}. When the the {{player}}'s [[party]] is viewed, any fainted Pokémon will have a red FNT status bar or a [[status ailment]] of FNT.

Pokémon can faint instantly if their opponent successfully uses a [[one-hit knockout move]], such as {{m|Guillotine}}. A Pokémon faints under certain circumstances that occur after the use of {{m|Destiny Bond}} or {{m|Perish Song}}, unless switched out. Moves such as {{m|Selfdestruct}} or {{m|Explosion}} makes the user faint, though it deals massive damage to the opponent, acting as a sort of {{wp|kamikaze}}. A Pokémon can also faint from having its HP sapped through moves such as {{m|Leech Seed}} and {{m|Leech Life}}, and can also faint if damaged by certain [[Weather conditions|weather effects]] or [[status ailment]]s from a previous turn during the semi-invulnerable stage of moves like {{m|Fly}}.

If all Pokémon in a Trainer's party have fainted they will be unable to battle and [[black out]]. The player will lose a sum of [[Pokémon Dollar|money]]. In {{pkmn|Trainer}} battles, the money will be paid to the winner, but in battles with [[wild Pokémon]], the money will be dropped in panic.

==Fainting through status ailments==
Fainting can also be caused through [[status ailment]]s. When a Pokémon has been poisoned, every four steps will reduce the Pokémon's HP by one point until it faints (1HP in [[Generation IV]]). {{t|Steel}} and {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon cannot be poisoned. It is removed either by an {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Antidote}}, a [[Pecha Berry]] or by similar [[status ailment healing item]]s. {{status|Burn}}ed Pokémon can faint during battle by taking enough damage, but not outside of battle. A {{status|Confusion|confused}} Pokémon is at risk for turning its attack on itself, thus reducing its own HP and possibly making itself faint. Confusion can be removed by a [[Yellow Flute]], [[Persim Berry]] or by simply switching the Pokémon out of battle.

All of these conditions are also removable upon the use of a Pokémon Center, though it is wise to keep the aforementioned items in a lot of supply.

==Effects of fainting==

Fainting will cause a Pokémon to lose [[happiness]], and may grow to resent its trainer if it faints often and spends a lot of time unconscious.

If all of the [[player character]]'s Pokémon faint, then the trainer will be disqualified or faint ("''<player name>'' Blacked/Whited Out!"). The player will then be warped back to the last [[Pokémon Center]] visited and the player will lose half of their [[Pokémon Dollar|money]]. Starting with {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, a small cut scene also plays explaining what happens.

In {{game|Yellow}}, [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] returns to its [[Poké Ball]] when it has fainted, which is the only time that Pikachu goes in its Poké Ball.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the lead Pokémon will return to its Poké Ball and the next Pokémon in order will then in turn be released out.

Fainting does not impede the use of [[HM]]s out of battle by a Pokémon.

===Effects of items on fainted Pokémon===
Normal [[item]]s, such as [[potion]]s or status ailment healing items, will not work on a fainted Pokémon. Instead, they either have to be healed at a Pokémon Center or brought back with a reviving item.
* [[Revive]] will revive a Pokémon with half of its HP.
* {{DL|Revive|Max Revive}} will revive a Pokémon with all of its HP.
* {{DL|Herbal medicine|Revival Herb}} will revive a Pokémon with all of its HP.
* [[Rare Candy]] will also revive fainted Pokémon due to the HP gained upon leveling up.

==Avoiding fainting==
There are many ways that fainting can be avoided, with the most common being removing the Pokémon from battle. If the Pokémon uses {{m|Endure}}, it will leave the said Pokémon with one HP. Items, like the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}}, also ensure that a Pokémon doesn't faint. However, the Focus Sash works only once.

'''The following items can allow a Pokémon not to faint:'''
* {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}}
* {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}}

'''The following items restore HP once:'''
* [[Oran Berry]]
* [[Sitrus Berry]]
* [[Figy Berry]]
* [[Wiki Berry]]
* [[Mago Berry]]
* [[Aguav Berry]]
* [[Iapapa Berry]]
* [[Enigma Berry]]

'''The followings items restore HP more than once:'''
* {{DL|In-battle effect item|Shell Bell}}
* {{DL|In-battle effect item|Leftovers}}
* {{DL|In-battle effect item|Big Root}}
