Mister Wu: /* Overview */ adding more specific information: they immediately perform moves by skipping the wind-up phase altogether, but the meter lasts half as much

'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is an [[item]]-induced [[Form|transformation]] introduced in {{g|X and Y}} that affects certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is present in the [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} [[core series]] games, and has reappeared in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and its [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]]. Mega Evolution has also appeared in {{spin-off games}} such as [[Pokémon GO]], {{pkmn|Masters EX}}, and {{pkmn|UNITE}}.

Certain Pokémon can undergo Mega Evolution by having their Trainer activate their [[Key Stone]] while the Pokémon holds their corresponding [[Mega Stone]]. There are currently 87 species of Pokémon that are known to be capable of Mega Evolution, and there are currently 93 (or 96, counting specific variations) different known Mega Evolutions.

==Terminology==
The term '''Mega Evolution''' describes both the phenomenon<ref>{{p|Roaring Moon}}'s [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] [[Pokédex]] entry: ''"According to an article in a dubious magazine, this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region."''</ref> and the transformed Pokémon. The related verb is '''Mega Evolve'''.

The '''Mega-Evolved''' Pokémon<ref group="lower-alpha">"Mega Evolved" is hyphenated as "Mega-Evolved" when used as an adjective before a noun e.g. "Mega-Evolved Pokémon" or "Mega-Evolved form". [https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/elevate-heroic-hoenn-pokemon-with-mega-evolution Elevate Heroic Hoenn Pokémon with Mega Evolution], [[Pokémon.com]]. [https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Shuffle-Launch-Announced-New-Pokemon-Discovered-in-Pokemon-Ome Pokémon Shuffle Launch Announced, New Pokémon Discovered in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire], Press release, [[Pokémon.com]]. [https://www.pokemon.com/uk/strategy/a-guide-to-mega-evolution-in-pokemon-go A Guide to Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref> are identified by having "'''Mega'''" in front of their name, such as Mega {{p|Altaria}} or Mega {{p|Meganium}}. For Pokémon with two Mega Evolutions, there are two naming conventions:
* Both Mega Evolutions are followed by either the letter X or Y: e.g., Mega {{p|Charizard}} X and Mega Charizard Y.
* If one of them is a Z Mega Evolution, only it will be followed by the letter Z: e.g., Mega {{p|Lucario}} and Mega Lucario Z.

==Overview==
[[File:Ralts Evolution Z-A.png|thumb|right|250px|The Evolution line for {{p|Ralts}} leading up to {{p|Kirlia}} and Mega {{p|Gardevoir}}]]
Described as "[[Evolution]] that transcends Evolution",<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-gb/story/#:~:text=Prepare%20for%20Mega%20Evolution! Prepare for Mega Evolution! | Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee!]</ref> the process of Mega Evolution drastically increases a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s strength, as evident by the increase in [[base stat]]s upon Mega Evolving,<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ Mega-Evolved Pokémon | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ archived])</ref> as well as the fact that it occurs only on Pokémon that are not able to evolve any further. Despite its name, Mega Evolution differs from regular Evolution in the sense that it is only a temporary transformation. To Mega Evolve, a Pokémon requires a strong bond with its {{pkmn|Trainer}},<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/mega_evolution Mega Evolution | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150208104005/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/mega_evolution archived])</ref><ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/new-mega-evolutions New Mega Evolutions | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150202062733/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/new-mega-evolutions archived])</ref> and two specific items are required for the process: a corresponding [[Mega Stone]] (except for {{p|Rayquaza}}, who only needs to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}), and a [[Key Stone]] for the Trainer.<ref>{{mas|Professor Sycamore}}: ''"Well, theoretically, Mega Evolution should only be possible through the use of two [[Key Stone|special]] [[Mega Stone|stones]] by a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who share a strong bond."'' ({{g|Masters EX}})</ref> Mega Evolution imparts a Pokémon with even greater power by unleashing its hidden energy.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/mega-pokemon Mega Evolution | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>

Along with the power boost, Mega Evolution triggers a transformation in the Pokémon's appearance and behavior, which can be minor in some cases, such as {{p|Slowbro}} or {{p|Kangaskhan}}. Even though it is usually described as beneficial, some Pokémon, like {{p|Scizor}} or {{p|Houndoom}}, are said to experience discomfort while Mega Evolved. Additionally, it may change the Pokémon's [[Ability]] to a set one (for instance, a regular {{p|Venusaur}} can have the standard Ability {{a|Overgrow}} or the [[Hidden Ability]] {{a|Chlorophyll}}, but a Mega Venusaur always has {{a|Thick Fat}}) and may also alter its [[type]], be it by adding, changing, or removing one (Mega {{p|Ampharos}}, Mega {{p|Gyarados}}, and Mega {{p|Aggron}}, respectively, are examples of such cases). Certain Pokémon even gain a new {{pkmn|category}} upon Mega Evolution; e.g., Darkrai is known as the Pitch-Black Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]] and the Bad Dreams Pokémon as Mega Darkrai.

{{g|Legends: Z-A}} introduces the concept of '''[[Rogue Mega Evolution]]''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|暴走メガシンカ|Bōsō Mega-shinka}}''' ''Rampaging Mega Evolution''), whereby [[wild Pokémon]] undergo Mega Evolution on their own after exposition to high concentrations of [[Mega Power]], which drives them into a berserk, painful state. The [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] further introduces the concept of '''Z Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｚと名のつくメガシンカ|Z to Na no Tsuku Mega-shinka}}''' ''Mega Evolution with the name Z''), which mechanically differ from regular Mega Evolutions in that their [[move]]s have no wind-up time, with the drawback being that their Mega Power meters drain at double the speed.<ref name="MegaLucarioZ">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega_lucario_z A New Mega-Evolved Pokémon Is Here | Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension]</ref>

===History===
{{spoilers}}
The phenomenon of Mega Evolution originated in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], with {{p|Rayquaza}} being the first-ever Pokémon to Mega Evolve.<ref>[[Draconid people|Draconid descendant]], [[Meteor Falls]]: "''Yes, I am one of the [[Draconid people]]. One of the ancient folk tasked with passing down the knowledge of Mega Evolution—with the great lore of Lord {{p|Rayquaza}}, who was the beginning of all."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Korrina]], [[Hyperspace Sky Pillar]]: ''"I'm gonna get to meet—and battle—the very first Pokémon that ever Mega Evolved..."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}} — [[Mega Dimension]])</ref> According to the legend, as told by [[Zinnia]] at [[Sky Pillar]] and reiterated by [[Ansha]], a huge meteoroid struck the planet 1,000 years ago, creating the crater where currently lies [[Sootopolis City]] and causing natural energy to pour out of the cracks. In turn, this caused [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} to reawaken and fight for it over endless, world-defining clashes. The people at the time, the [[Draconid people|Draconids]], could only stand by and wish for Rayquaza to appear and bring salvation, as it had done before. Responding to the Draconids' wishes, Rayquaza descended over the brilliant meteoroid and transformed into a sublime figure before quelling the conflict—in this sense, the meteoroid acted as a [[Key Stone]], amplifying the wishes into the bond necessary to connect the people to Rayquaza, who already had the innate potential to Mega Evolve. [[AZ]] witnessed these events.<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"A witness to this series of events, a tall [[AZ|visitor]] from a [[Kalos|distant land]], said, “It is the Δ (Delta), born of the great disturbances in this world. By the bonds born of mankind's wish and the power of the stones, it will calm the troubles that plague the world.”"'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Emma]]: ''"Ah! I just remembered that [[AZ]] mentioned something else. He said during his long journey searching for {{p|Floette}}, he saw a phenomenon in [[Hoenn]] that may have been the beginning of all Mega Evolution!"'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> The meeting between humanity and Rayquaza allowed for the mechanism behind the phenomenon to be understood, which led to the current theory of Mega Evolution.<ref>Scientist, [[Devon Corporation]]: "''Those who saw the way that Rayquaza, possessing this special power, reacted to their [[Key Stone]]s to transform itself, began research into the subject. It came to be recognized as a form of [[Evolution]], a new possibility for Pokémon. And what we stitched together from all of this long research is the current theory of Mega Evolution."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref>

During the events of {{g|X and Y}}, the prevailing idea was that Mega Evolution was a phenomenon exclusive to the [[Kalos]] region,<ref>[[Professor Sycamore]]: ''"And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the [[Kalos]] [[region]]? There's still so much we don't know..."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> where the first-ever Mega Evolution supposedly took place after a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{p|Lucario}} found the first known [[Mega Stone]] and Key Stone.<ref>NPC, [[Tower of Mastery]]: ''"Long, long ago, a {{pkmn|Trainer}} came to this land accompanied by a {{p|Lucario}}. They found two strange stones. This is said to have led to the world's first Mega Evolution."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref><ref>Painting, [[Lumiose Museum]]: ''"The [[Tower of Mastery]] stands to the north of [[Shalour City]]. Two strange stones were once discovered in this area, which are now thought to have been the first known [[Mega Stone]] and Key Stone."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> In the five years leading to {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, however, this notion seems to have been debunked,<ref>[[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Side missions|Constance]]: ''"The story goes that this [[AZ]] person traveled all the way to some far-off region called [[Hoenn]]. There, he researched the origins of Mega Evolution to staisfy his own curiosity."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> with paintings of the [[Tower of Mastery]] at the [[Lumiose Museum]] now claiming that Lucario was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve in the Kalos region, specifically. Despite this, [[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory on the origin of Mega Stones being a consequence of the use of the [[ultimate weapon]] seems to still be upheld, at least partially, with AZ himself supporting his claims.<ref>[[Emma]]: ''"[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that Mega Stones formed three thousand years ago... when certain stones were irradiated by the light—the energy of the [[Legendary Pokémon]]—that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]. AZ nodded when he heard that. According to him, that's why we've been finding new types of Mega Stones recently. After all, the ultimate weapon was fired again five years ago..."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, [[Sina]] implies the phenomenon does not naturally occur in regions far from Kalos, such as [[Alola]].<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"It's so mysterious... to be talking about Mega Evolution here, in a region so far away from Kalos..."'' ({{g|Sun and Moon}}).</ref>

According to Professors {{prof|Cozmo}} and Sycamore, Mega Evolution triggers the release of the entirety of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once,<ref>[[Professor Cozmo]]: ''"We will start off by artificially replicating the massive energy that is triggered at the time of Mega Evolution!"'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Lysandre]]: ''"According to Professor Sycamore's research, Mega Evolution releases all of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> implying a strong connection to a Pokémon's own life force. This is further suggested by the fact that [[Infinity Energy]], the power source used as fuel for the ultimate weapon, has been confirmed multiple times to be made of the life energy of Pokémon,<ref>[[Mr. Stone]]: ''"And what energy source could power such a dreadful weapon? Do you know? You see... It ran on the life energy of Pokémon. The energy that could be gained by the sacrifice of so many Pokémon..."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]], B3F: ''"The weapon will be powered by living Pokémon—or rather by the life energy they contain."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> and that the [[Devon Corporation]] researched into Mega Evolution in order to develop Infinity Energy. In addition, Pokémon Legends: Z-A introduces [[Mega Power]], a form of energy emitted by [[Ange]] from within [[Prism Tower]] that, when in excessive amounts, is able to make wild Pokémon enter a frenzied, Mega-Evolved state that heavily strains its body, a process known as [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]. [[Mable]] suggests that {{p|Xerneas}}'s life energy can act similar to Mega Power, enabling the phenomenon of Rogue Mega Evolution.<ref>[[Mable]]: ''"The excessive [[Mega Power]] from the tower caused [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], and if {{p|Xerneas}} shows up, something similar could happen again. I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> Mega Power can be stored in a [[Mega Ring]] and be used by the {{player}} to Mega Evolve a Pokémon or upgrade a [[move]] into a [[Plus Move]].

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, [[Colress]] questions whether or not [[Z-Power]] can surpass the Mega Ring.<ref>[[Colress]]: ''"[[Z-Power]]... Is it the true potential that I seek? Does it surpass the [[Mega Ring]]?" ({{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}})''</ref> [[Dexio]] and Sina also imply that the two are similar due both being powered up by the Trainer-Pokémon relational bond.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"You know, when you think about it, the [[Z-Power Ring]] helps the feelings of a Trainer reach their Pokémon so it can use its [[Z-Move]], right? It only follows that it should be able to achieve Mega Evolution, too!"'' ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref>

Mega Evolution is also referenced in the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine and in the [[Paldea]] [[Pokédex]], where it is mentioned that {{p|Roaring Moon}} resembles Mega {{p|Salamence}}.
{{endspoilers}}

===In battle===
[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|left|240px|{{p|Blaziken}} Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]
In the [[core series]] games, Mega Evolution requires the player to hold a [[Key Stone]] and a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} capable of Mega Evolution holding its compatible [[Mega Stone]]. Only {{p|Rayquaza}} does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. In {{LGPE}}, the player simply needs to have the required Mega Stone in their bag, since there is no held item feature. Although most media state that a strong bond with the Pokémon and their Trainer is needed, neither [[friendship]] nor [[affection]] is necessary to Mega Evolve in the games.

A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon (except for Mega {{p|Alakazam}} in [[Generation VI]]) has a [[base stat]] total 100 points higher than that of its base form, though in {{g|Legends: ZA}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Starmie}} have a greater increase in [[stat]]s. For the former two, this is to make up for the lack of Abilities in the game (they both have Abilities that double their {{stat|Attack}} stats, namely {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}), while the reason in Starmie's case is presently unknown though likely similar. Mega Zygarde gains only 70 points.

In any {{pkmn|battle}}, each {{pkmn|Trainer}} may only Mega Evolve a single Pokémon once. Mega Evolution is essentially a free action a Pokémon may make in addition to its normal [[move]], but if a Pokémon will not use a move, it cannot Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution occurs [[priority|before]] most actions except [[recall|switching out]]. A Mega-Evolved Pokémon will only revert to its original state if it [[fainting|faints]] or the battle ends; if it is switched out, it will remain Mega Evolved.

A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it is being held in the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither volatile nor non-volatile [[status condition]]s such as {{status|paralysis}}, {{status|sleep}}, or {{status|infatuation}} will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to attack that turn.

Mega Stones are not affected by most moves or Abilities. The moves {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Trick}}, and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail to move a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that could use it to Mega Evolve, and the Abilities {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. {{m|Knock Off}} cannot remove a Mega Stone from a Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve, so its power will not be increased since it cannot remove the item. The moves {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} and the Ability {{a|Klutz}} will not prevent a Pokémon from using its respective Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.

Changes in a Pokémon's [[Ability]] will take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} that normally has {{a|Speed Boost}} will not gain a boost in {{stat|Speed}} at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as {{m|Crunch}} that turn, it will be boosted by {{a|Strong Jaw}}, its Ability as Mega Sharpedo.

A transformed Pokémon (either by {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}) is unable to Mega Evolve. It will fail to Mega Evolve even if it is transformed into the correct species and it is holding the respective Mega Stone. However, it is still possible to transform into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon. The restriction of only one Mega Evolution per battle does not apply to transformed Pokémon.

====Generation VI====
In [[Generation VI]], performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order the turn the Pokémon undergoes Mega Evolution. A Pokémon with a lower Speed stat than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon whose Speed stat decreases after Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards.

Otherwise, stat changes and type changes due to Mega Evolution take effect immediately and damage calculation proceeds as usual. For example, a Pokémon whose Mega Evolution has a lower base {{stat|Defense}} stat takes greater damage from physical moves on the turn it Mega Evolves. Likewise, the move {{m|Gyro Ball}} considers the Pokémon's Speed stat after Mega Evolution for damage calculation, not before. Even if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority.

When the player Mega Evolves a Pokémon for the first time since the save file is accessed, a longer animation than usual will play, showing the [[player character]] activating the Mega Evolution with their [[Mega Bracelet]]. On subsequent uses of Mega Evolution, a shorter animation will play, showing only the Pokémon as it Mega Evolves.

====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]], a Pokémon's Speed after Mega Evolution is used to determine turn order, not its Speed before. Likewise, if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as Prankster before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. {{p|Rayquaza}} cannot Mega Evolve if it is holding a [[Z-Crystal]].

In {{LGPE}}, as the [[held item]] mechanic is not implemented, the player simply needs to have the compatible Mega Stone in their bag to access a Pokémon's Mega Evolution. The player can also manually pick which form Charizard or Mewtwo can become from the move menu.

====Generation IX====
[[File:Rogue Mega Evolution.png|thumb|250px|A Rogue Mega {{p|Victreebel}}]]
Mega Evolution returned in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} after seven years of absence.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon are shown to now be surrounded by a rainbow-colored aura. It is manually activated while clicking the right thumb stick, but unlike in previous games, only when the "Mega Gauge" is full, which can be done by using moves on opposing Pokémon or by gathering orbs of [[Mega Power]], which are dropped by opposing Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Additionally, Mega Evolution no longer lasts until the end of the battle and is now on a time limit, which can be slightly extended by gathering Mega Power orbs. Mega Stones need to be held by the affiliated Pokémon in order to allow Mega Evolution. Unlike in previous games, the player can Mega Evolve their Pokémon multiple times per battle.

[[Rogue Mega Evolution]] is a phenomenon that causes [[wild Pokémon]] to Mega Evolve on their own, without the need of a Trainer. These Pokémon are apparently in pain, much bigger than normal after Mega Evolving, and surrounded by a pink-colored aura. Calming a Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon will reward the [[Mega Stone]] that is compatible with the defeated Pokémon. [[Team MZ]] is tasked with investigating this strange abnormality by [[Quasartico Inc.]]<ref>"[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-legends-z-a Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Pokémon.com]: ''"[[Quasartico Inc.]], the corporation driving [[Lumiose City]]'s redevelopment, will task you and the rest of [[Team MZ]] with aiding their investigation into these strange occurrences. Work together with your friends from Team MZ to take on and calm a variety of [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon. You can also obtain Mega Stones by pacifying Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon.''"</ref>

In the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC, Z Mega Evolution is introduced for the first time. Z Mega Evolutions take less time to unleash moves compared to other Mega Evolutions, but burn through [[Mega Power]] much faster.<ref name="MegaLucarioZ"/>

===Outside of battle===
[[File:Mega Evolution Contest Spectacular.png|thumb|left|220px|A {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving in a [[Pokémon Contest|Contest Spectacular]]]]
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Mega Evolution can also occur during the {{pkmn|Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round}} of [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]]. If the participating Pokémon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone when its [[appeal]] causes the audience's excitement to reach its peak, it will Mega Evolve and perform a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}}. The Pokémon will remain Mega-Evolved for the remainder of the Talent Round.

When summoned by the [[Eon Flute]], {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} will Mega Evolve before the player mounts it to [[soaring in the sky|soar in the sky]]. It will Mega Evolve even if it is not holding its corresponding Mega Stone, since the Eon Pokémon is summoned even if it is currently not in the player's game.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Champions===
Players will be able to Mega Evolve their Pokémon in [[Pokémon Champions]] through the [[Omni Ring]].<ref>[https://champions.pokemon.com/en-us/ The Omni Ring—A Battle Essential! | Pokémon Champions] "Other special features may be added to the Omni Ring in the future! Research is being conducted to make the Omni Ring capable of drawing out a variety of Pokémon capabilities."</ref>

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (GO)}}
Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon GO on August 27, 2020. Rather than using a [[Mega Stone]], an eligible Pokémon consumes [[Mega Energy]] to undergo Mega Evolution for 8 real life hours.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Masters)}}
Certain [[sync pair]]s can Mega Evolve their Pokémon by performing a [[sync move]] in Pokémon Masters EX since the game's launch.

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
[[File:UNITE Mega Pokémon Official Artwork.png|200px|thumb|Four Mega Evolutions in Pokémon UNITE]]
{{p|Mewtwo}} can become [[Mewtwo (Unite License X)|Mega Mewtwo X]] or [[Mewtwo (Unite License Y)|Mega Mewtwo Y]]. This is facilitated by its {{a|Pressure}} [[Ability]], which has a Mega gauge which is filled by using [[basic attack]]s and {{UNITE|move}}s on members of the opposing team. If the gauge is full, and Mewtwo is at least [[Level]] 5, it will Mega Evolve.

Unlike in the [[core series]], Mewtwo can only be Mega Evolved for a set amount of time, delineated by the Mega gauge draining back to empty, after which it returns to being a normal Mewtwo. However, Mewtwo can refill its Mega gauge to Mega Evolve multiple times in the same battle. When Mega Evolved, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y have different basic attacks and increased stats compared to Mewtwo.

Starting from version 1.14.1.2, Mewtwo spends some of the [[Aeos energy]] it is holding when it Mega Evolves. The Mega Evolution will last longer if Mewtwo uses up more Aeos energy.

There are two [[Unite License]]s for Mewtwo. While both of them allow for using Mewtwo in a [[Unite Battle]], each one has separate characteristics. Only the Unite License X one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo X, while the Unite License Y one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Starting from version 1.20.1.2, Mewtwo is required to hold its respective Mega Stone, either Mewtwonite X or Mewtwonite Y depending on the Unite License, as a held item.

In a letter from the producer released on July 15, 2025, it was announced that more Mega-Evolved Pokémon were planned to be added to the game to celebrate the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.<ref>[https://community.pokemon.com/en-us/discussion/19322/letter-from-the-producer-pokemon-unite-s-4th-anniversary Letter from the Producer—Pokémon UNITE’s 4th Anniversary]</ref> {{UNITE|Mega Lucario}} was the first of these new Mega Evolutions to release, followed by {{UNITE|Mega Charizard X}}. More Mega-Evolved Pokémon would also be released throughout the rest of 2025, including {{UNITE|Mega Gyarados}} and {{UNITE|Mega Charizard Y}}.<ref>[https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1962712084421992841]</ref>

Unlike Mewtwo, these Mega-Evolved Pokémon have separate [[Unite license]]s from their base forms. When using the Unite license, the Pokémon starts off in their base form, however they can only choose one specific set of moves and have a different [[Ability]]. When the Pokémon uses its [[Move (UNITE)#Unite Move|Unite Move]], it will Mega Evolve. When Mega Evolved, various aspects of the Pokémon are changed. The Pokémon's Ability is changed and their basic attacks and/or moves are upgraded in some way. Like Mewtwo, the Mega Evolution only lasts for a limited time and the Pokémon are also required to hold their respective Mega Stones as a held item.

====[[Pokémon Frienda]]====
Introduced during the [[Set 5 (Frienda)|fifth set]], Mega Evolution is one of the main mechanics that can be assigned to a Frienda Pick, similarly to [[Z-Move|Z-Moves]] and the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

At the start of each attacking turn, the player will be prompted with a '''Mega Evolution Chance!''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカチャンス！'''If the player decides to Mega Evolve their Pokémon, they will be presented with a rhythm game-esque "highway" of Mega Evolution marks and will be challenged to touch the Mega Evolution mark at the bottom of the screen as they intersect. Doing so accurately will increase the Pokémon's '''Mega Evolution Power''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカパワー'''). A total of five Mega Evolution marks will move down, and if the player is accurate enough with at least two marks, the Pokémon will Mega Evolve. Additionally, if the player uses the real-world Pokémon MEGA RING accessory, they will skip the requirement of needing at least two successful marks to activate mega evolution, and will be able to exceed the previous maximum power of Mega Evolution for an even stronger boost.

When a Mega Evolved Pokémon attacks, the Attack Roulette will apply a '''Mega Evolution Bonus!''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカボーナス！''') and upgrade the largest value to a double-size rainbow-colored space with a value equal to the Mega Evolution Power attained. The size of the rainbow-colored space will be increased even further with the Pokémon MEGA RING. A Pokémon will remain in its Mega Evolved form for as long as it is able to battle and only one Pokémon may Mega Evolve per session.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
[[File:Mega Charizard X SSB4.png|thumb|250px|Charizard as Mega Charizard X in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]
====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
{{SSB|Charizard}} and {{SSB|Lucario}}'s [[Final Smash]]es are both Mega Evolution, which transforms them into Mega Charizard X and Mega Lucario, respectively. This Mega Evolution acts as a temporary power-up for the duration of the Final Smash.

{{SSB|Mewtwo}}'s Final Smash is {{m|Psystrike}}, which has it Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y then use Psystrike.

Mega Venusaur and Mega Blastoise appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, Mega {{p|Blaziken}}, Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}}, Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}}, Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

|}
|}

====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
Mewtwo retains its [[Final Smash]] Psystrike from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, which still causes it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Lucario's Final Smash, Aura Storm, has it Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario in order to use it.

Mega Charizard X, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Lucario, and Mega {{p|Diancie}} appear as {{sbw|Spirit}}s.

===[[Pokémon Shuffle]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Shuffle)}}
Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective [[Mega Stone]] must be obtained (or in {{p|Rayquaza}}'s case, the [[File:Meteorite Shuffle.png|link=]] [[Meteorite]]). Methods to obtain a Mega Stone include:
* Defeating a Pokémon's Mega-Evolved form in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle, usually at the end of each {{DL|Stage (Shuffle)|Main stage|main stage area}}.
* Completing certain objectives on [[Mission Card]]s.
* Reaching certain {{OBP|Trainer rank|Shuffle}}s by catching several different species of Pokémon.
* Achieving a high rank in a [[competitive stage]].
* Clearing certain milestone stages in an [[escalation battle]].

The Pokémon placed in the first position (furthest to the left) when selecting {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} will Mega Evolve after the player fills the Mega Gauge. This is filled by matching the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, or by matching Pokémon with the {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost}}({{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost+|+}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost++|++}}) {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s who are of the same [[type]] as the Pokémon being Mega Evolved. The size of the Mega Gauge depends on the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, with each Pokémon requiring different numbers of icons to be matched to fill its gauge. The maximum amount of icons needed to fill the gauge can be permanently decreased by using [[File:Mega Speedup.png|20px|link=]] Mega Speedup {{DL|List of items in Pokémon Shuffle|Enhancements}}, with each Pokémon having a different maximum amount of Mega Speedups they can take.

Once a Pokémon is Mega Evolved, its skill is replaced by its Mega Effect for the remainder of the battle. Mega Effect varies between Pokémon.

===[[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. [[Mega Stone]]s for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]] is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can be performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{Incomplete|section|Information for Stat modifiers while Mega Evolved}}

====[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]====
[[File:Mega Evolution ingame PSMD.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Evolution in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]
[[File:Berserk PSMD.png|thumb|250px|Mega Alakazam in Berserk mode]]
Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls. To achieve Mega Evolution, the player must find an [[File:MDBag Awakening Emera VI Sprite.png]] [[Emera#List of emeras|Awakening Emera]] in a Dungeon. These [[Emera]]s can be attached to a Looplet of a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, causing it to Mega Evolve immediately. A Looplet attached with an Awakening emera will have a rainbow glow [[File:MDBag Looplet 3 VI Sprite.png]]. Should it be given to {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}}, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

A bar will appear above the Mega-Evolved Pokémon after it transforms and will slowly start to fill up. As long as the bar is present, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will keep their form even when moving to the next floor. Once the bar is filled, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will go into {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Miscellaneous status conditions|Berserk mode}}. In Berserk mode, the Pokémon will move around and use a powerful attack on any Pokémon surrounding it, friend and foe alike. This will go away after a while, and the Pokémon will revert to normal. When Mega Evolved, its [[regular attack]] will get a huge boost in power and range, destroy walls, and reveal purple sparkling spots on the floor which can be picked up for an item.

Attaching an Awakening Emera to a Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve increases its stats by a lot and give it different boosts. Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve with an Awakening Emera attached will not go into Berserk mode.

Awakening Emeras are hard to find and appear randomly in dungeons; like other Emeras, they will disappear if they are not reached in time.
{{-}}

====[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]]====
Mega Evolution returns in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, and in this game is achieved by eating an Empowerment Seed. Mega-Evolved Pokémon also have all of the bonuses granted by the Awakened status: linked moves always result in critical hits, moves will never miss, and moves will ignore unfavorable type matchups. Compared to the Awakened status, the only additional bonus Mega Evolution grants is the potential to change a Pokémon's type and ability.

As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, if {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}} Mega Evolves, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

Some bosses will also undergo Mega Evolution:
* During {{p|Rayquaza}}'s rematch or Mewtwo's boss fight, both will Mega Evolve once their health drops below one half of their total. Mewtwo will Mega Evolve randomly into Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y.

===[[Pokémon Picross]]===
Once a player purchases a Mega Pencil from [[Professor Tetra]] for 500 Picrites, puzzles for Mega Evolutions can be solved. Only one Mega Evolution can be set at one time, and they cannot be brought alongside their normal forms. Their skills are higher ranked than their normal counterpart, and they can be used on larger puzzles.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{pokken|Lucario}}, {{pokken|Garchomp}}, {{pokken|Gardevoir}}, {{pokken|Gengar}}, {{pokken|Charizard}}, {{pokken|Blaziken}}, {{pokken|Sceptile}}, {{pokken|Scizor}}, {{pokken|Blastoise}}, {{pokken|Mewtwo}}, and [[Shadow Mewtwo]] are able to Mega Evolve through Synergy Burst, with Charizard and both of the Mewtwo Mega Evolving into their X forms. Mega Evolution can be triggered whenever a Pokémon capable of it has its Synergy Gauge filled up to the max during a battle. The Mega-Evolved Pokémon will revert to its regular form once it has used up all of its [[Synergy]] power.

In addition, every time when Shadow Mewtwo is fought against in the game's story mode, it will Mega Evolve before the battle begins and stay in this state for the entire fight.

On the [[Dragon's Nest]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appears in the form of both an enormous statue alongside the battle arena and a drawing on the ground of the battle arena. On the [[Old Ferrum Town (Winter)]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Swampert}} appears in the form of a giant snow sculpture. Mega Rayquaza itself is also a Support Pokémon available as part of the Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack.

===[[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]]===
{{main|Pokémon ex (TCG Pocket)|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon ex}}
Mega Evolution Pokémon appear in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]] as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon ex''' cards, a variation of {{TCGP|Pokémon ex}}, debuting in the [[Mega Rising (TCG Pocket)|Mega Rising]] expansion. Mega Evolution Pokémon ex cards in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket are designed to be similar to their counterparts in the physical [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], with yellow names and a black-and-yellow {{TCGP Icon|Mega ex}} symbol next to them. When a player's Mega Evolution Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, the opponent earns 3 points, thereby instantly winning the game.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|BW}}====
* In ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', the first Mega Evolution in {{pkmn|animated series}}-related media was featured, where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} was shown to be capable of changing between its regular form and Mega Mewtwo Y, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]]. However, because the concept of Mega Evolution had not been announced at the time of the movie's release, this transformation remains unnamed in the movie. Some Japanese promotional material for the movie as well as its {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} referred to it as Mewtwo's ''Awakened Form'' (覚醒した姿).<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref>

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
* In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', the first Mega Evolution in an {{pkmn|animated series}} episode was featured where {{Ash}} saw a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. In the [[XY002|next episode]], it was revealed to belong to a masked hero called the [[Blaziken Mask]], saving Ash from a free fall from the [[Prism Tower]]. It has since been seen helping Ash and {{ashfr}} on numerous occasions.
* In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', a Mega {{p|Ampharos}} and a Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appeared as silhouettes while {{an|Professor Sycamore}} told Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} about the concept of Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Alain]] was featured traveling across the [[Kalos]] [[region]] with his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X, challenging other Mega Evolution Trainers. During the episode, Alain battled [[Astrid]]'s Mega {{p|Absol}} and [[Remo]]'s Mega {{p|Garchomp}}, and was victorious in both battles. Later in the special, he even faced the [[Elite Four]] member [[Siebold]] and his Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, but the powerful {{type|Water}} Pokémon proved to be too much for Charizard, causing Alain to lose the battle.
** All known Mega Evolutions released at the time were also featured during the intro of the aforementioned special episode.
* In ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', [[Diantha]]'s Mega {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} first appeared using its Mega Evolution powers to break free from {{TRT}}'s binds.
* In ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]'', {{an|Korrina}} has a {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} that can Mega Evolve, and so does her grandfather [[Gurkinn]]. In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', it was shown in a flashback how one of Gurkinn's ancestors discovered a [[Key Stone]], while his Lucario discovered a [[Lucarionite]], leading to the first known Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XY033|Calling from Beyond the Aura!]]'', Korrina told Ash and his friends about a Trainer she had once met who had used a Mega Ampharos.
* In ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]'', a Trainer named [[Mabel]] and her Mega {{p|Mawile}} appeared.

==In the manga==
[[File:X full Mega Evolution Adventures.png|250px|thumb|X's team achieving multiple Mega Evolutions at once in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
At first, Mega Evolution was portrayed as a relatively unknown phenomenon, known only to [[Gurkinn]] and his Successors. Since then, it became apparent that [[Team Flare]] were also after the power of Mega Evolution, with one member even compiling a list of [[Mega Stone]]s that they discovered. Simultaneous Mega Evolutions can also be accomplished by a Trainer, as long as they have a Key Stone for each Pokémon they are Mega Evolving. However, doing so will cause severe mental stress on the Trainer, and they will be unable to focus on anything other than a single target until the Mega Evolution is undone.
*When [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.
*When X and his friends were attacked by Team Flare in [[Santalune City]], [[Korrina]] arrived and Mega Evolved her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario to assist them.
*In [[Lysandre Café]], [[Diantha]] had her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir to make Lysandre back off from attacking {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}}.
*The Mega Evolutions of {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Mawile}}, and {{p|Garchomp}} made cameos when Gurkinn explained Mega Evolution to [[Emma|Essentia]] during her raid on the [[Tower of Mastery]]. In the subsequent chapter, Gurkinn Mega Evolved his {{p|Heracross}}.
*During Korrina's succession ceremony, [[Gurkinn's students|three Successors]] demonstrated Mega Evolution to her by Mega Evolving their {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Scizor}}, and {{p|Alakazam}} respectively.
*While visiting [[Lumiose City]], X met an {{p|Electrike}}, which led him to a [[Manectite]], evolving into {{p|Manectric}} in the process. Later, Manectric joins X's team, Mega Evolving into Mega Manectric while facing a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}.
*During a battle against [[Team Flare]], Gurkinn's {{p|Gengar}} protected X from [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}}. He helped battle against Team Flare to stop them from capturing {{p|Xerneas}} while in tree form. He was later given to X, at which point he nicknamed him Garma. Garma has a Gengarite, which allows X to Mega Evolve him into Mega Gengar.
*While confronting Essentia, X's {{p|Pinsir|Rute}} and Y's {{p|Absol|Solsol}} are given their respective Mega Stones, allowing them to Mega Evolve into Mega Pinsir and Mega Absol respectively.
*Both X's [[Salamè]] and [[Blue's Charizard]] Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y respectively, after defeating [[Xerosic]]'s Pokémon.
*After reuniting with {{adv|Blaine}}, {{adv|Mewtwo}} gained the ability to Mega Evolve into both Mega Mewtwo X and Y. Due to their bond, Mewtwo is able to Mega Evolve more than once per battle.
*[[Gurkinn's students]] Mega Evolved their {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Banette}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}} for Trevor to study.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
The role of Mega Evolution was diminished but its accessibility continued to be confined to a selected number of Trainers.
*In ''[[PS597|Latias Flies]]'', {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} were shown learning how to Mega Evolve their Pokémon from [[Ultima]]. Sapphire and Emerald were seen mastering it in ''[[PS599|Salamence Evolves]]'', where they Mega Evolved their respective first partner Pokémon, [[Chic|Blaziken]] and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}.
*In ''[[PS598|Claydol Unleashes]]'', Ruby was able to successfully Mega Evolve {{DL|Eon duo (Adventures)|Latios}} into Mega Latios, allowing them to [[soaring in the sky|soar into the sky]]. He soon arrived at the [[Sky Pillar]], where he met and battled [[Zinnia]], who used her Mega {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}} against Mega Latios.
*In ''[[PS602|Hoopa Distorts]]'', {{Steven}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} into Mega Metagross with his Mega Stickpin.
*In ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]'', [[Jinga]] of the [[Draconid people]] Mega Evolved his Slowbro into Mega Slowbro in his battle against Ruby.
*In ''[[PS604|Goodra Spits]]'', Ruby Mega Evolved [[Mumu]] into Mega Swampert.
*In ''[[PS607|Blastoise Transforms]]'', [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] used their Mega Glasses and Mega Anchor to Mega Evolve their Camerupt and Sharpedo into Mega {{p|Camerupt}} and Mega {{p|Sharpedo}} respectively. In retaliation, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} Mega Evolved [[Saur]] and [[Blasty]] into Mega {{p|Venusaur}} and Mega {{p|Blastoise}} respectively to battle them.
*In [[PS611]], footage of {{p|Rayquaza}} Mega Evolving was seen.
*In [[PS616]], {{adv|Giovanni}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}} as part of his explanation that the meteoroid headed for Hoenn may be housing a Pokémon inside of it, since Mega Evolution is only supposed to work within a battle. Later, Sapphire and Ruby Mega Evolved [[Kirly]] and [[Rara]] into Mega {{p|Gallade}} and Mega {{p|Gardevoir}} respectively during a brief battle against each other.
*In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Ruby and Sapphire Mega Evolved {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} in order to have it destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. Later, Ruby Mega Evolved {{p|Diancie}} for a Pokémon Contest Spectacular Performance.

===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===
{{sectionstub}}

===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===
In [[Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King]], several main characters' Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, including {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}}, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}}'s {{p|Garchomp}}, and [[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}}.

===Pokémon Journeys===
During a flashback in ''[[JNM10|Toughing It Out!]]'', it was revealed that Ash fought {{an|Korrina}}'s Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in a [[World Coronation Series]] battle.

==In the TCG==
===XY Series===
{{main|Pokémon-EX|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon}}
In the XY Series, Mega Evolution first appears in the {{TCG|XY}} set in the form of '''{{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Mega Evolution Pokémon}}''', also known as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon-EX''', a subset of {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}. Their names have {{Mega}} as a prefix and {{EX}} as a suffix. They additionally have a distinct stage of "MEGA", which serve as an Evolution of Pokémon-EX cards and are played by putting them on top of their corresponding Basic Pokémon-EX. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn, unless that Pokémon has its specific Spirit Link {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}} attached to it.

[[Atsushi Nagashima]], the game director for the TCG, has stated that Mega Evolution is exclusive to Pokémon-EX because it would be impractical to evolve a single Pokémon three times during a game, and implementing Mega Evolution in that manner would constrain deck-building.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-pokemon-cards-are-made/1100-6459450/ How Pokemon Cards Are Made | GameSpot]</ref> The team had considered restricting players to one Mega-Evolved Pokémon per deck, but rejected this idea, as they wanted to enable players to build decks based around Mega Evolution.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140101195743/https://www.pokemon-card.com/blog/2013/12/000367.html クリエイター～ゲームディレクター長島敦スペシャル対談～ | pokemon-card.com,] archived January 1st, 2014</ref>

===Sun & Moon Series===
In {{TCG|Unified Minds}} and {{TCG|Cosmic Eclipse}}, two {{TCG|TAG TEAM}} {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} were printed that feature Mega-Evolved Pokémon as one of the two members of the tag team. These cards have no special mechanics outside of those which are part of the TAG TEAM mechanics.

===Mega Evolution Series===
{{main|Pokémon ex|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon ex}}
Mega-Evolved Pokémon return in the English {{TCG|Mega Evolution}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Mega Brave/Mega Symphonia|Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia}} expansions) as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon ex''', a subset of {{TCG|Pokémon ex}}. They have a black-and-yellow {{Mega ex}} symbol next to their names. Unlike Mega Evolution Pokémon-EX from the XY series, these Pokémon ex share the same Evolution Stage as their base form — for example, {{TCG ID|Mega Evolution|Mega Gardevoir ex|60}} evolves from Kirlia and is a Stage 2 Pokémon. While they feature stronger attacks and more HP than normal Pokémon ex of their Evolution Stage, they also feature the Mega Evolution Pokémon ex rule, causing them to grant three Prize Cards when they are Knocked Out, rather than the typical two for Pokémon ex.

==Trivia==
* There is at least one Mega-Evolved {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from every [[generation]] and of every [[type]].
** Currently, [[Generation III]] has both the most Mega Evolutions and the most Pokémon capable of Mega Evolving (with 22 and 21, respectively), while [[Generation VIII]] has the fewest overall (with {{p|Falinks|one}}).
** {{t|Dragon}} has the most Mega Evolutions (with 17), while {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ice}} are tied for having the fewest (with five each).
** No Mega-Evolved Pokémon has {{t|Flying}} as its primary type.
* Only fully evolved Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Floette}} is the only exception to this, though only in its {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} form, which is incapable of evolving into or from any Pokémon.
* {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Absol}}, {{p|Lucario}}, and {{p|Garchomp}} all have more than one Mega Evolution, accessible through distinct [[Mega Stone]]s.
** Similarly, {{p|Magearna}} and {{p|Tatsugiri}} have different appearances while Mega-Evolved depending on their form (Magearna's regular and Original Color forms and Tatsugiri's {{form|Tatsugiri|Curly, Droopy, and Stretchy}} Forms), but are nonetheless considered to have only one Mega Evolution each.
* All Pokémon that evolve with a [[Dawn Stone]] are capable of Mega Evolution.
* 74 Pokémon retain their original type combination upon Mega Evolving.
** {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, Mewtwo (into Mega Mewtwo X), {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Feraligatr}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Sceptile}}, Chimecho, {{p|Absol}} (into Mega Absol Z), {{p|Lopunny}}, and {{p|Audino}} all become dual-type upon Mega Evolving.
** {{p|Aggron}} and {{p|Garchomp}} (into Mega Garchomp Z) both become single-type upon Mega Evolving.
** Charizard (into Mega Charizard X), {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Staraptor}}, {{p|Barbaracle}}, and {{p|Golisopod}} all change one of their types to a new one upon Mega Evolving.
*** Notably, Staraptor is the only such case in which it changes its primary type, rather than its secondary one.
* Mega Feraligatr, Mega Audino, and Mega Golisopod are the only Mega Evolutions that do not share any [[weakness]]es with their normal forms.
* Some Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution also have access to other forms or battle mechanics:
** Raichu and {{p|Slowbro}} are the only Pokémon to have a Mega Evolution and a [[regional form]].
** Raichu, between its Kantonian and [[Alolan form]], is the only Pokémon to have a Mega Evolution and an exclusive [[Z-Move]]: {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}.
** The fully evolved [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon that can both Mega Evolve and [[Gigantamax]].
* Some Mega-Evolved Pokémon have unique attributes:
** Mega Altaria is the only one with a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]].
** Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}} and Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} are the only ones with a [[signature Ability]]: {{a|Parental Bond}} and {{a|Delta Stream}}, respectively.
** Mega {{p|Zygarde}} is the only one whose moveset changes upon Mega Evolving, with {{m|Nihil Light}} replacing {{m|Core Enforcer}}.
* {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolving.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon to not have a designated Mega Stone, as it doesn't need one to Mega Evolve in the core series games that include Mega Evolution, instead being required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon that can have a different held item while Mega Evolving, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
** It is, furthermore, the only Pokémon to lack the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to its [[Key Stone]]!" when it Mega Evolves, as it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!" instead.
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Rayquaza needs the player to get the [[Meteorite]] for it to Mega Evolve.

===Designs===
* Design-wise, multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon seem to incorporate traits from their previous [[evolution]]ary stages:
** Both of {{p|Raichu}}'s Mega Evolutions have {{p|Pikachu}}-like features:<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-gb/news/mega-dimension-hoopa The Mythical Pokémon Hoopa Holds the Key to the Story | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Mega Raichu X has red cheeks, bright yellow fur, and a forked zig-zag tail, while Mega Raichu Y has Pikachu's body shape, ears, and tail.
** Mega {{p|Clefable}} has dark pink, oval cheek markings resembling those of {{p|Cleffa}} and {{p|Clefairy}}.
** Mega {{p|Dragonite}} gains features distinctive of {{p|Dragonair}}, such as the wings on its head and the pearl on its tail.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-dragonite Mega Dragonite | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>
** Mega {{p|Feraligatr}}'s dorsal fin resembles a gigantic {{p|Totodile}}'s head, leading to it being referred to as a "Totodile mask".<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-feraligatr Mega Totodile | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>
** Mega {{p|Ampharos}}'s tail and head are covered in white fur,<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos Mega Ampharos | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150427074403/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos archived])</ref> which is the wool it originally had as a {{p|Mareep}} and {{p|Flaaffy}} that has regrown due to the excess energy from Mega Evolution stimulating its genes.
** Mega {{p|Tyranitar}}'s chest plate, back spikes, and eye-like marking resemble {{p|Pupitar}}.
** Mega {{p|Chimecho}} grows a golden frame with fake eyes and arms reminiscent of {{p|Chingling}}.
** Mega {{p|Metagross}} is said to be the result of one Metagross, one {{p|Metang}}, and two {{p|Beldum}} linking up.
** Mega {{p|Scolipede}}'s lavender-colored armor is reminiscent of {{p|Whirlipede}}.
** Mega {{p|Eelektross}}'s arms are covered by mucus in the shape of {{p|Eelektrik}}, named "false Eelektrik".<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-eelektross Mega Eelektross | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>
** Mega {{p|Glimmora}}'s main body resembles {{p|Glimmet}}.
* In contrast to the other [[Paradox Pokémon]], {{p|Roaring Moon}} is based specifically on Mega {{p|Salamence}} rather than regular Salamence.
** Roaring Moon's [[Pokédex entry]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] makes a reference to Mega Evolution. A copy of {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]] continues the in-universe speculation with Roaring Moon and Mega Salamence; however, it says that it is unknown if there is any connection.
** An article on the English Press Website for [[The Pokémon Company International]] on Pokémon Legends: Z-A's March 2025 [[Nintendo Direct]] trailer accidentally labeled one of the files corresponding to Mega Salamence as "Roaring Moon". This was fixed later that day.<ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/New-Pokemon-Legends-Z-A-Details-Revealed-During-Nintendo-Direct The Pokémon Company International Official Press Site: New Pokémon Legends: Z-A Details Revealed During Nintendo Direct] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20250327154906/https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/New-Pokemon-Legends-Z-A-Details-Revealed-During-Nintendo-Direct archived])</ref>

===Core series===
* The Japanese and Korean logos for {{g|X and Y}} include the Mega Evolution sigil.
* At least one Mega Evolution of every type was introduced in each core series game that introduced new Mega Evolutions, with the exception of the {{t|Electric}} type in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
** If counted on its own, the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] for {{g|Legends: Z-A}} also did not introduce a Mega Evolution of each type, with no new Mega-Evolved Pokémon being {{t|Normal}} type. However, counting {{p|Staraptor}} (who loses its {{type|Normal}} typing upon Mega Evolving) at least one Pokémon of every type is given a new Mega Evolution.
* Due to Mega Evolution being absent from {{g|Sword and Shield}} through {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the status of some {{Abilities}} was affected:
** {{a|Aerilate}}, {{a|Parental Bond}}, and {{a|Delta Stream}} became unusable despite existing in the game data.
** {{a|Refrigerate}}, {{a|Mega Launcher}}, and {{a|Pixilate}} became the current signature Ability of {{p|Amaura}}'s evolutionary line, {{p|Clauncher}}'s evolutionary line, and {{p|Sylveon}}, respectively.
* Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} are programmed into Pokémon X and Y; as a result, they are not banned by the Kalos rules from battles, and their [[Mega Stone]]s are not banned from trades from Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire to Pokémon X and Y, despite being otherwise unavailable in those games.
* In the Pokémon X and Y demo, the message "''An immense new power has risen in Mewtwo!''" would be displayed before Mega Evolving. In the final game, the message displayed is "''<Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to <Trainer>'s <Key Stone item>!''" Additionally, Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as simply Mega Mewtwo.
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in his interview in the Nintendo Dream magazine, {{p|Flygon}} was intended to get a Mega Evolution in Pokémon X and Y, but the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Pokémon designs|idea was later dropped]] due to him experiencing an artist's block.<ref>[https://www.pokebeach.com/2015/04/mega-flygon-excluded-from-xyoras-because-of-artists-block Mega Flygon Excluded from XY/ORAS Because of Artist's Block | PokeBeach], translation of Nintendo Dream interview scan</ref>

===Animated series===
* If not counting {{pkmn|movie}}s or the [[Mega Evolution Specials]], overall sixty-six Mega Evolutions have yet to appear in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.

** Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Mega {{p|Aggron}}, and Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}} made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|SM}}.
** Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Slowbro}}, Mega {{p|Camerupt}}, and Mega {{p|Altaria}}, made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|JN}}.
** Mega {{p|Sableye}}, Mega {{p|Dragonite}}, and Mega {{p|Starmie}} made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|HZ}}.
*** Mega Dragonite is the only one to debut in the animated series before the official release of the game it first appears.
* In the animated series, all {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] that are capable of Mega Evolving can do it without the need of a [[Mega Stone]], [[Key Stone]], or {{pkmn|Trainer}}.
* As of ''Pokémon Horizons: The Series'', the animated series pitted a Mega-Evolved Pokémon against each of the battle mechanics introduced in subsequent generations.
** In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', {{an|Brock}}'s Mega {{TP|Brock|Steelix}} and {{an|Misty}}'s Mega {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} battled against [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]], respectively, with their Z-Moves.
** In ''[[JN086|A Battle of Mega Versus Max]]'', {{Ash}}'s Mega {{TP|Ash|Lucario}} battled against [[Bea]]'s Gigantamax {{p|Machamp}}.
** In ''[[JN116|Pride of a Champion!]]'', [[Diantha]]'s Mega {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} battled against {{an|Lance}}'s [[Dynamax]]ed {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}.
** In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', [[Roy]]'s Mega {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} battled against {{an|Nemona}}'s {{Tera}}stallized {{type|Fighting}} {{p|Pawmot}}.

Talk:Pokémon Scarlet - Violet + The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Super Music Collection

2025-02-05T11:06:48Z

Mister Wu: /* Official English titles of the physical album */ the SwSh Super Music Collection page also has the Play Asia/Gracenote names, so an editor likely uploaded them, agreed with being cautious about the names

==Official English titles of the physical album==
I have the official English titles of the physical album, directly obtained from the GraceNote database, and many of them are different from the English titles on the Nintendo Music app, being more similar to the Japanese titles. Should I make an additional column on the tables for these names?--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 23:44, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

Wait do you mean there’s an English version of the physical album? I thought the physical album was only in Japanese? Or do you mean you translated the Japanese to English? [[User:Livra|Livra]] ([[User talk:Livra|talk]]) 01:19, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
:The album was released only in Japan, but the publisher uploaded English names of the tracks to the GraceNote database. I'm not sure the reason why (probably they were originally planning an international release of the album outside of the Nintendo Music app, that admittedly happened with all the other Super Music Collections up until the Let's Go games), but they can be found there, associated to the ID of the Japanese physical album.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 10:07, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
:: OHH I see. Then yes, please do go ahead and add in an "Official English Track Name" column, and rename the existing English Track Name column to "Nintendo Music Track Title" or something like that. This makes so much sense... Like the track that's called "Carmine & Kieran" on Nintendo Music, is more like "Communication" or "Exchange" or something in Japanese. Thanks so much for your help! --[[User:Livra|Livra]] ([[User talk:Livra|talk]]) 11:17, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
:::Upon further scrutiny, I noticed that the Gracenote CDDB database still accepts end user input to name the tracks, and while there's manual inspection of the submitted data before it is added to the CDDB, we can't know if the source was the publisher or an end user. Since the Windows 11 Media Player's own metadata database search doesn't find the English names and since there are conflicts with the Nintendo Music app, at this point it's better not to add them. Sorry for having given false hopes.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 02:12, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
::::Ah yes thanks for that. I agree, best not to update just yet then. Thanks for reverting the change you made to the Legends Arceus Super Music Collection Page as well!--[[User:Livra|Livra]] ([[User talk:Livra|talk]]) 11:45, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
And yes if you have English Track Names from a legit source, you should definitely make an additional column for those. Make the existing column a “Nintendo Music” column, and leave blank any tracks that were not included in Nintendo Music (all those jingles) [[User:Livra|Livra]] ([[User talk:Livra|talk]]) 02:21, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Plot twist! [https://www.play-asia.com/nintendo-switch-pokemon-scarlet-violet-hidden-treasure-of-area-/13/70gscn?srsltid=AfmBOopRbWi_BB_rUWtdTeNcVJpjaVq5GXj5njasQuJ1Sjwk-P6FbcNl Play Asia has the official English names of the tracks], and they are the very same names found in the Gracenote database! At this point I ask the admins: since the listing came immediately after the Japanese release, likely before end users could upload their own translatioms to Gracenote, should we consider them the official English names, provided by the publisher?--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 19:34, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
:I had a read through these track titles, and I'm highly skeptical about their validity. Infact, these were the track titles that the Bulbpapedia used before the Nintendo Music release. There are a few things that make me question the validity of these track titles. Firstly, Disc 6 Track 26 is called "Star Training Centres! Team Star". This is extremely inaccurate to the Japanese Track Title which implies something more like "Welcome to our Study Session! Team Star", as well as not making sense contextually (the track plays when you're helping Team Star with some homework in the DLC, while Star Training Centres just refers to rematching them at their respective bases in Paldea which isn't a DLC exclusive feature). The Nintendo Music translation, "Studying together with Team Star" seems more in line with the Japanese Track title, as well as suiting the contest. Furthermore, I feel like "Star Training Centres! Team Star" gives me broken-english vibes - like a machine translation from the Japanese Track title, ie. word to word. Furthermore there is an error in the track listing on the site you provided in that Disc 5 Track 13 has been called "With Perrin", despite the track itself being a theme relating to Kieran, and the Japanese Track title also referring to Kieran. This is a common mistake that I've observed in many translations, (possibly due to the similarity in sound of "Sazare" and "Suguri", but is a big indicator in my opinion that this is an end-user translation. The true Japanese translation from the track title would be "With Kieran", or as Nintendo Music has named the track, "Together with Kieran". Further relating to this theme, there's another theme that also is "With <Person>" in Japanese, that being Disc 3 Track 18, "With Nemona". Nintendo Music both changed "With Kieran" and "With Nemona" to "Together with Kieran" and "Together with Nemona", which I think lines up better with how English Tracks were named in previous iTunes releases of prior Pokémon Video Game Soundtracks, as it sounds more complete of a track name rather than simply beginning with "With". Further more Disc 1 Tracks 15 and 16 are blatant mistranslations, as they clearly refer to the Inlet Grotto's names in the Japanese Track Titles, with Track 15 being "入り江のほら穴を進む" with "入り江のほら穴" being from the Japanese name for Inlet Grotto, and Track 16 being "ほら穴での戦闘", taking the "ほら穴" from the Japanese location's name (the Cave part specifically), being grotto in the english localisation. However the webite you've sent does not regard the localisation or appear to notice that a proper noun (Inlet Grotto or 入り江のほら穴) is being referred to, and instead translates these tracks to "Go through the cave in the cove", and "Battle in the cave" which are more literal translations than contextual, while Nintendo Music more accurately has listed these tracks as "Going through the Inlet Grotto" and "Battle in the Grotto". '''All of this stuff leans me towards believing that the link you provided has end-user translations rather than official english track names. Please do let me know your thoughts however''', and thanks for reading this long thing I sent lol. --[[User:Livra|Livra]] ([[User talk:Livra|talk]]) 04:33, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
::With regards to the first part: the current page of the Sword and Shield Super Music Collection indeed features [https://www.play-asia.com/nintendo-switch-pokemon-sword-and-shield-expansion-pass-super-mu/13/70gsc9 the names that are found in both Play Asia and the Gracenote database], so it looks like an editor had access to these names and provided these titles in the various pages.
::When it comes to the names themselves, I agree with your points, this seems a translation that was not curated in all the aspects, so there were the issues with the format and the Inlet Grotto. They still got the Iono quote and Team Star quote right, plus the recurring translations ("Received a Pokémon Egg!", "Trainers' Eyes Meet" and so on) are all correct instead of being closer to the Japanese text, so it seems there was some human curation, just not to the extent that was seen in the Nintendo Music app release.
::Like I said before, I don't think there was a lot of time for an end user to provide their own translation to Gracenote before Play Asia put the album to sale, because Gracenote still does a check of user-provided content that usually lasts a couple of days. One possibility is that it was originally uploaded by The Pokémon Company for a possible release of the album in Singapore and then left with all the errors in as the plans changed, with The Pokémon Company International then making a more accurate translation for the Nintendo Music app. There's also the possibility that it was Play Asia who provided the translations themselves and then uploaded them to Gracenote, which I'm doubtful about due to the quotes and recurring translations, unless they have a very dedicated fan of the games who is also in charge of the translations of the names of the tracks.
::All in all, I'm fine if we don't include these names, due to their issues and unclear origin. I might do some more digging to see if I can find more clues about their origin, as it looks like there is a fun story behind these names. In case I find something more I'll report my findings here.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 11:06, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

The '''Pokémon LEGENDS Arceus Super Music Collection''' (Japanese: '''Pokémon LEGENDS アルセウススーパーミュージック・コレクション''' ''Pokémon LEGENDS Arceus Super Music Collection'') is the official soundtrack release for [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

It was released as a physical album in Japan on February 27, 2024, available both as a standalone purchase and as part of a bundle with [[Pokémon Sword - Shield + Expansion Pass Super Music Collection]] and [[Pokémon Scarlet - Violet + The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Super Music Collection]].

The soundtrack was released worldwide on January 28, 2025, in the [[Nintendo Music]] app. This version has eight fewer tracks, as several jingles are removed.

==Tracklist==
The soundtrack contains all 110 new music tracks from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], contained on a four-disc set. Notably, the versions of Jubilife Village that play when the player character is at their own living quarters or inside a building in the village are absent in the soundtrack.

==Booklet==
The 24-page booklet includes several interviews and statements from [[Gō Ichinose]] and [[Hitomi Satō]], as well as scenery and development art from the Legends: Arceus video game.

==Trivia==
* Despite the popular belief that the tracks "Cobalt Coastlands 1-1" and "Cobalt Coastlands 1-2" reference the "Route 210" theme from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the physical booklet included with the CD for this soundtrack cites only "Route 209" for the former and both "Route 209" and "Hearthome City" for the latter as motifs that were used.
** There is a small possibility that this is an error, as "Cobalt Coastlands 1-1" does not distinctly feature motifs from "Route 209", while "Cobalt Coastlands 1-2" clearly incorporates motifs from "Route 209" in two different sections of the theme. It is possible that "Route 210" was intended to be cited for both tracks, but the earlier (and possibly erroneous) citation of "Route 209" on the former track led to a carryover mistake in "Cobalt Coastlands 1-2", resulting in "Route 210" not being credited as a motif for either track.

The '''Pokémon LEGENDS Arceus Super Music Collection''' (Japanese: '''Pokémon LEGENDS アルセウススーパーミュージック・コレクション''' ''Pokémon LEGENDS Arceus Super Music Collection'') is the official soundtrack release for [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

It was released as a physical album in Japan on February 27, 2024, available both as a standalone purchase and as part of a bundle with [[Pokémon Sword - Shield + Expansion Pass Super Music Collection]] and [[Pokémon Scarlet - Violet + The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Super Music Collection]].

The soundtrack was released worldwide on January 28, 2025, in the [[Nintendo Music]] app. This version has eight fewer tracks, as several jingles are removed.

==Tracklist==
The soundtrack contains all 110 new music tracks from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], contained on a four-disc set. Notably, the versions of Jubilife Village that play when the player character is at their own living quarters or inside a building in the village are absent in the soundtrack.

==Booklet==
The 24-page booklet includes several interviews and statements from [[Gō Ichinose]] and [[Hitomi Satō]], as well as scenery and development art from the Legends: Arceus video game.

==Trivia==

* Despite the popular belief that the tracks 'Cobalt Coastlands 1-1' and 'Cobalt Coastlands 1-2' reference the 'Route 210' theme from ''Pokémon Diamond and Pearl'', the physical booklet included with the CD for this soundtrack cites only 'Route 209' for the former, and both 'Route 209' and 'Hearthome City' for the latter as motifs that were used.
** There is a small possibility that this is an error, as 'Cobalt Coastlands 1-1' does not distinctly feature motifs from 'Route 209', while 'Cobalt Coastlands 1-2' clearly incorporates motifs from 'Route 209' in two different sections of the theme. It is possible that 'Route 210' was intended to be cited for both tracks, but the earlier (and possibly erroneous) citation of 'Route 209' on the former track, led to a carryover mistake in 'Cobalt Coastlands 1-2', resulting in 'Route 210' not being credited as a motif for either track.

'''Holowear''' is a type of holographic clothing that can be worn by {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in [[Pokémon UNITE]]. It is made using Aeos energy.

Most Holowear can be purchased by [[File:UNITE Aeos gem.png|x20px]] Aeos Gems or [[File:UNITE Holowear Tickets.png|x15px]] Holowear Tickets, but some can be obtained through other methods.

== Holowear of the Month ==
When the UNITE Club Membership was launched, it included a free monthly Holowear for members. As of September 2024, however, this has been discontinued.

Mister Wu: /* Pokémon */ argh, how come I definitely didn’t see the Bellibolt line coming?

[[Image:Atsuko Nishida.jpg|thumb|250px|Atsuko Nishida in 2018]]
'''Atsuko Nishida''' (Japanese: '''西田敦子''' / '''にしだあつこ''' ''Nishida Atsuko'') is a graphic artist who has been involved with several aspects of the Pokémon franchise since it began. She was part of the graphics team on {{wp|Pulseman}}, one of [[Game Freak]]'s most successful early titles, working alongside Pokémon creator [[Satoshi Tajiri]] and artist [[Ken Sugimori]]. During the development of the first [[Pokémon games]], she helped design key characters and several Pokémon, notably the cuter ones as opposed to the tougher ones.

Nishida is a character designer for the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, {{p|Pikachu}}. She stated that first design of Pikachu looked like a vertically long {{wp|daifuku}} rice confection with ears.<ref>[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DcLay_vVMAA2Q7G.jpg:orig Pikachu was a squirrel at first - Yomiuri newspaper] (Japanese, [https://twitter.com/hinopika/status/991595452448493569 images by Hinopika], overview by [http://the-japan-news.com/news/article/0004412363 The Japan News])</ref> She also modeled Pikachu's cheeks, which are used to store electricity, after squirrels storing food in their cheeks.<ref>[http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/ichiran/20180501-OYT8T50139.html?page_no=1 Pikachu is a daifuku? - Yomiuri Shimbun (Page 1)] (Japanese, translation by [http://www.siliconera.com/2018/05/03/pikachu-originally-second-evolution-called-gorochu-large-fangs-two-horns/ Siliconera], excerpts by [https://twitter.com/DogasusBackpack/status/991698132651069440?s=19 Dogasu])</ref> Nishida is also a fan of {{p|Eevee}} and the [[Eeveelution]]s, having personally designed all of the Eeveelutions except for {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Flareon}}.<ref name=EVs/><ref name=Tweet/>

She also contributed to the conceptual design of characters that appeared in the first few [[Pokémon movie]]s, as well as several of the main cast members of the Pokémon anime itself, including [[Ash Ketchum]], {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/El_Aleph87/status/1632063563744378884 Press release of "Hometown Story"]</ref> Nishida has continued to work within many areas of the franchise, credited on the majority of the main series games and movies, and has produced an array of original illustrations for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. She is also the illustrator for the mini-comic series titled ''Together with Pokémon!'' (Japanese: ポケモンといっしょ！) for a monthly children's magazine, ''Chara Pafe'' (Japanese: キャラぱふぇ).

===TCG illustrations===
Nishida has produced illustrations for the TCG since the some of the earliest Japanese promotional cards, though her first in regular expansions was in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set. Nishida's style is distinctive, using an airbrush technique with a soft palette of colors that is easy on the eyes and convey the feeling that the portrayed Pokémon is at one with their environment. Light is also a large factor, using it to highlight key areas of the overall image to maintain the "soft" aspect.

There are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Illus. by Atsuko Nishida}} cards illustrated by Nishida. For a list of cards she has illustrated, see [[:Category:Illus. by Atsuko Nishida|here]].

==In-game appearances==
===Generations I, III, and VII===
{{main|Erik and Sara}}

Sara (Japanese: アツコ ''Atsuko'') may be a reference to Atsuko Nishida. She appears in all [[Generation I]] games, as well as their [[Generation III]] and [[Generation VII|VII]] remakes.

She and Erik (Japanese: コージ ''Kōji'') mention each other in their dialogue. He may be a reference to [[Kōji Nishino]].

==Trivia==
* Atsuko Nishida is the only person who has been credited as a Pokémon designer in every [[generation]].
* In an interview with the character designers of Pokémon in 2018, Nishida said that {{p|Pikachu}} was supposed to have a third [[evolution]] stage after {{p|Raichu}}, which was named "Gorochu" (Japanese: ゴロチュウ). [[Ken Sugimori]] stated that it was scrapped for game balance reasons.<ref name=Pokemon.com />
* Nishida's favorite Pokémon is {{p|Charizard}}.<ref name=Pokemon.com />

Talk:Leaf (game)

2024-08-23T18:13:01Z

Mister Wu: /* Leaf and Green */ let’s see if this works

==Leaf==
So who made up that name? --[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 17:22, 2 February 2006 (CST)

:I want to know that too. Following the trend that the 1st and 2nd gen games set, her name should be Green, or Blue in the Japanese version. I'm guessing someone just chose one of the optional names from FRLG and gave it to her when they made the article. There's no real basis for her name being "Leaf", so shouldn't we go by precedence, as was done with Gold, Silver and Kris, and just call her Green?. -Shaddow Boy

::For an English Language Version, Green is accurate, however [[Green (game)]] already directs to Blue, does it not?--[[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 00:50, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

:Internal game data. There is a trainer, presumably used for debugging, with the sprite of the male player, and another trainer with the sprite of the female player. The male one is named Red, but the female is named Leaf for some strange reason. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 09:38, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
::English version or Japanese? --WikidSmaht 08:41, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
:::Both. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 10:53, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
::::This isn't really a good habit to get into. If we start taking unused data as official canon, then Professor Oak started with Squirtle, the Safari Zone had no Pokemon in it 3 years after Red and Blue, and that the Lake of Rage is still a town. It just doesn't make sense. Fire Red and Leaf Green have officially fixed Green's (male rival's), name to that of the original, leaving lone Blue, the third version gal, without a truly official name. While logic would suggest we should call her Blue due to the Manga as well as Blue being the color generation's third game, we are stuck basing her name on what can only be called speculation. Unused Data =/= Fact. [[User:Fishman|Fishman]] 15:43, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
:::::Er, no. When it comes to the games' canon, internal game data > manga name. Otherwise we should be calling Brendan "Ruby" and May "Sapphire".
:::::And no offense, but your analogies are the ones that don't make sense to me. The prototypical Safari Zone in GSC doens't have wild Pokémon because the wild encounters data was never written, not because it was originally meant to not have Pokémon. And the finished versions of the games retconned Profesor Oak into not being a fight-able trainer, and the Lake of Rage into being just a lake are, not a town. But neither the finished games not Nintendo officially revealed a name for the FR/LG female protagonist, so if her name during the development stages was Leaf (which in-game data seems to prove it was), then it should still be, since there isn't evidence to make us believe that it was retconned into another name. [[User:Spideym|Spideym]] 00:03, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Well we can't call her Blue, because [[Blue (game)]] is the rival. [[User:Zurqoxn|Zurqoxn]] 01:13, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
:If only GSDS would become reality, we'd know for sure, since then we'd have to find out what happened to her as well as Red. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 09:33, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
::We don't need another sequel. Besides her name, the answers are right here in front of us. The [[Blue (game)]] has officially been renamed as Green. All we have to do with the old article is point out that his English name used to be Blue, and was later changed back into Green. [[User:Fishman|Fishman]] 01:45, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
:::No, it has not been officially renamed. The rival's first default name for the Red version does not qualify as the character's official name. For all we know, his name could still be "Blue," just because it's not a default name doesn't mean it's been officially changed. Taking evidence from all the games supports that the rival is Blue and the girl is unnamed (leaving us with Green), but the idea that Blue has become Green is just fan speculation. I also agree that we can't go taking in-game data as official, and believe the name of the girl should be Green until Nintendo proves otherwise.--[[User:Mezase Master|Mezase Master]]
::::No to you, Mezase Master. First of all, you'll give the reason to most of us when we claim that Blue, this is, Japanese Green, is now Green outside of Japan as well since FRLG. Why do I say this? Because of HGSS and in-game data. And if internal game data says that her name is Leaf in both Japanese and English versions, then we have to assume it is as such. It's like you're claiming that Nintendo, specially the American and European divisions, don't screw up on the manuals and stuff. Even if such material is official, it doesn't mean it's correct and in-game data is the superior form of canon in the Pokémon franchise, so I say you're wrong. [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 11:56, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::BTW, I e-mailed Nintendo of America back in late 2008 and asked them what was the official name of the female player character in FRLG. They told me that there isn't any and that players can name characters as they pretend (we all know that happens in every game except the rival in RSE), so we only have in-game data left. And if in-game data says that the name is Leaf, it's because it is. [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 12:23, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Her name can't be "Green" because is the rival's name in the games already [[User:Haruka uzumaki|Haruka uzumaki]] 16:06, 24 September 2007
: Her name isn't "Green". It's "Blue". [[User:Fishman|Fishman]] 15:55, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Is there any reason why Leaf and Green were separated just now so suddenly?

==Manga==
Okay, that manga information should definitely be in a separate article. But what series is it referring to? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 05:21, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

== RBG picture ==

So, supposedly she's based off of a picture from an old guidebook. Does anybody have an copy of this picture? I'm curious to see it. {{unsigned|Morgil27}}

== Blue artwork? ==

I found an image that appears to be the artwork described in the article. Is this it? [http://www.sailorteam.com/fakecard/starters/rgb.jpg]

It doesn't show her face, unfortunately. [[User:GigaMetroid99|GigaMetroid99]] 02:43, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
:We're not sure it's her but she does resemble Blue (Green in the U.S)--[[Santa Claus|'''☆''']][[User:CoolPikachu!|'''Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''ピカチュウ!''']] 02:46, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
::I was just wondering if that was the picture that the article described with:

''Leaf was supposed to be in the original Red and Green versions, due to the fact that on Nintendo's Official guidebook, it depicted a female trainer with long brown hair, a black dress, white gloves and short black boots, alongside the male protagonist and the rival. It is believed she was supposed to be in the game, but was left out for some reason.''

If that's the right image, it should be added to the article to show viewers how she would have looked.[[User:GigaMetroid99|GigaMetroid99]] 01:41, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
:: I'm confused I thought the picture already was in the article.... I made a copy of it from somewhere...--[[User:Marhawkman|Marhawkman]] 02:10, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
::: Oh yeah, I remember reading in one of the articles something about how there are bits of code in red and green that treat the gender of the player character as a variable. wouldn't this be additional confirmation?--[[User:Marhawkman|Marhawkman]] 15:09, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

== Her back sprite ==

It may be me but her back sprite,and Red's,makes it look like she has brown eyes,despite what the trainer card shows. [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 02:48, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

== Rival = Blue? or Green? HGSS ==

Well, being that the rival's name also complicates things, as TTEchidna said, if the Viridian City gym leader in Pokemon HeartGold & SoulSilver is Leader (or Gym Leader) Blue, then it's back to the drawing board, but if he's Leader (or Gym Leader) Green, the name of the female player character of FireRed & LeafGreen may very well be Blue then. {{unsigned|Team Snagem Jarrod}}
:Her name will be Leaf regardless. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 02:25, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Wouldn't the situation change if she appears in HG/SS under a different name? [[User:Tsum|Tsum]] 04:44, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
:It might but I think if the English translation calls the Viridian Leader "Green" to go with FireRed and Leaf''Green'', and has Red still in Mt. Silver, then this girl being Blue would confuse people due to Green being Blue in Gen II because before it was Red and ''Blue''. Leaf fits her best of all, unless they were to go a completely odd route and go with actual given names, in which case I'd bet that Red would be Satoshi in Japan and Ash here, Green is Shigeru/Gary, and Leafy-poo is Ashley. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 22:54, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

== The only one not to appear in the anime? ==

Wouldn't Soul count? Also,what about Mark,Mint,Wes,Michael,Lucy,Kate, and Lunick? Or do it just refer to the main games. Even so,what about Soul? Or is it still up for grabs that she is just a redesign of Kris,and not a seperate character? [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 03:39, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
:Soul's game hasn't even been released. Of course she hasn't appeared in the anime yet. If she appears, she will probably show up during the 13th or 14th seasons, late 12th at the earliest, assuming they return to Johto after the Sinnoh League and the Sinnoh GF. --[[Gallade|'''エ''']][[User:Galladeon|'''ルレ''']][[User talk:Galladeon|'''イ''''''ド''']] 04:36, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

== Why Leaf and not Green? ==

Okay, honestly, this makes no sense. I understand that you're taking the internal data as evidence, but internal data shouldn't always be taken as canon. If we named every character based on the internal data, then Blue would be called Terry, and Barry would be called Cedric, among others. Their internal files are called that for whatever reason, but that doesn't mean that it should be their official name. I understand that your reasoning for using the internal data to support the name "Leaf" is because she's never officially named in game, unlike Red, Blue, Ethan, Lyra, Brendan, May, Lucas, Dawn, etc., but there [i]is[/i] evidence outside of game canon that supports the name "Green". Yes, most of the time you shouldn't take media outside of game canon as evidence, but that's exactly what you did when you decided to name the DPPt Rival "Barry", isn't it? And why did you do that? Because it was the most logical choice. The name "Barry" is present in the games as one of the preset names, and it's also supported in other media, media which also uses the canon name of Dawn, so it can be assumed that the name they're using for Barry is the intended canon name for him. Leaf's situation is no different. She's already been named "Green" in the manga (that is, in the English version, since the names of Blue and Green are swapped in Japan, but since this is an English wiki we use the English names), and it fits the Red/Blue/Green naming pattern, so why should we completely ignore those facts and instead go with "Leaf"?! It's just not logical. Whatever the verdict is, she'll always be Green to me, and she should be to everyone else, too. —[[User:Tyeforce|Tyeforce]] 08:10, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

::::::No, it's not at all like calling Brendan Ruby. Brendan has been officially named in the games, Leaf/Green hasn't. Since we don't have an official name to go by in the games, we should name her based on logic and evidence in other media. Green makes the most sense, and it's backed up by the manga. Leaf doesn't make sense at all. We know that she was planned to be in the Generation I games but never made the cut, so why would we call her Leaf, when the Fire/Leaf thing didn't come until Generation III? And Red isn't called Fire, is he? No, he's called Red, just like Blue is called Blue, and just like how "Leaf" should be called Green. —[[User:Tyeforce|Tyeforce]] 20:09, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

::::::That's a different situation, though. And although Leaf/Green from FireRed/LeafGreen is a different character from the Adventures Green, they're clearly based on each other. Red and Blue have their canon names in Adventures, so why should we assume that Green's name isn't the canon one used? Yes, later characters are named after their versions in the manga, but those are different generations, where the naming scheme has been changed in the games. In Generation one, their names were all colors, so why should Red's female counterpart be any different? Also, you guys are contradicting yourselves. You used the anime's name for Barry because he didn't have an official name in the games, and that's A-OK to you, but when we're talking about Leaf/Green it's wrong? Why is that? You went with Barry because it was the most logical choice, that's why. It's supported by both the games (as one of the random preset names) ''and'' the anime, and the same anime also uses the official name for the character Dawn, so there's really no reason not to trust it. It was the best choice there was, so you used it. And Green is the best choice for the name of the female protagonist of FireRed/LeafGreen, and planned female protagonist of Generation I, so why aren't we using it? —[[User:Tyeforce|Tyeforce]] 20:24, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

:::::::::As much as I'm inclined to disagree with his choice in naming, I believe he is acting in his rights to call the name into question.

Nothing, as far as I can tell. Barry at least had it as a default name in two games (Barry [the name] was in Platinum, right?). Leaf's absence from Pokémon Canon makes Leaf her only logical name.--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 20:53, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
::::::::::You talk as if Leaf/Green didn't have "Green" as an option for her name in her games, either. She did, just as is the case with Barry. But Barry's not the ''only'' default name he's given. It's just one among many. So what made Bulbapedia decide to call him Barry? The fact that the anime also calls him that. And the ''same exact situation'' can apply to Leaf/Green. Like Barry, she's never officially named in game, except for the list of default names, of which includes the name "Green". But she's also named Green outside of game canon, just like Barry was named for that exact same reason, so that's what we should call her. If somebody didn't decide to give her the name Leaf (yes, I know that it was based on internal data, but I've already given reasons as to why that can't be taken as an official name) and name this article so, then people would be calling her Green, the most logical choice. It's Bulbapedia's fault that her name is widely accepted as "Leaf" now, just like it was Bulbapedia's fault that so many people started calling the DPPt Rival "Pearl". You have to understand that what you say here greatly affects the entire Pokémon community, so it's very easy for false information to be taken as fact. Now, I'm not saying that it's a ''fact'' that Red's female counterpart is named Green, but there's much more evidence that supports it as opposed to calling her Leaf, and it's just more logical. —[[User:Tyeforce|Tyeforce]] 21:09, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
:(Gogo Indent Reset) Responding to each claim in order: But you see, it doesn't matter that Green is also an option because we could just as easily substitute in any of her other default names and argue it on that case. Green is only a default if you're playing LeafGreen; for FireRed, she'd just as well be called Fire. As far as Barry is concerned, the name is not only in Diamond, but also Platinum, which gives that name the ingame edge it needs over Clint, the top default name from Pearl. Your arguments that she is Green outside the game canon are pointless because she doesn't exist in any other canon; "Green" from Pokemon Adventures was established long before FireRed and LeafGreen were announced, and is thus an entirely separate character (if the separate wiki articles didn't already clue you in). Barry is named such because it is his default name in Platinum, giving Barry a 2-to-1 bias over Clint, and a 2-0 over Pearl. Leaf has no such out; in FR, she can be called Red or Fire, and in LG she can be called Leaf or Green. Any name is just as likely as the others (except Red, obviously). The ingame data in this case acts as final arbiter: it could have been literally any name and it would have won out (due to being present in both FireRed AND LeafGreen). I still don't see how Green is any more likely than Leaf; Leaf has a spot on the default names list AND the ingame data, where Green only has the default names list. You aren't providing the evidence you need. Probably because it doesn't exist.--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 21:24, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
::You're completely ignoring the fact that the character Leaf/Green has existed since Generation I. Not as a playable character, but in official artwork, and we know she was intended to be in the games, but just never made the cut. With that in mind, why would you go with the name "Leaf", which makes no sense, considering that the terms Fire and Leaf hadn't been introduced until Generation III? And I know that she's not the same exact character as the Green in the manga canon-wise, but it's clear as day that the two ''are'' the same character, just in different canon. Since her counterpart and rival have kept their color names throughout the generations, why should her name be an element and not a color? You can through game data at me all you want (by the way, where is your proof that the name "Green" only appears in LeafGreen, but "Leaf" appears in both?), but it just doesn't make sense. Since we no official name for her, have to think about what the developers' intent is. Do you think that they would call her Leaf, or the more logical choice, Green? It would appear that "Green" is the intended name, since it's used in the Adventures manga (which is the closest media to the game canon other than the games themselves), and it fits the color naming scheme. —[[User:Tyeforce|Tyeforce]] 21:54, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
:::The flaw with your first point is if we go by that logic {{p|Shellos}} would be a Generation III Pokémon. If the character wasn't present in the games, no amount of intention is going to put them there. That puts your question to rest as well; Leaf because the Character didn't exist in Generation I. Saying it's clear as day means nothing; you're talking about 'the manga' like it's somehow more infallible than the games themselves (I must have skipped over the part of the game where my PC was kidnapped by Ho-Oh and spent several years in Johto). As for proof that Leaf is in both games, Leaf is the dummied out name for the character in both games (similar that Red is the default in both games for the dummied out character that had his face, as well as whatever the weird name that Blue had in FRLG). In the naming screen, the opposite game's name is '''never''' an option; You don't start up Red and see Blue as the default name for your character. So it would be reasonable to assume that neither Leaf nor Green are options for the default names in FireRed. Thus there are two separate instances of Leaf (ingame default name and the dummied out trainer with her sprite) and only one instance of Green (the ingame default name). Finally, you have yet to show any proof that Green is more suited than Leaf. Manga-based arguments are irrelevant, as they aren't the same character (even if their bases are the same).--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 22:13, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

:Since it wouldn't let me post for some reason earlier today, I didn't get to post my reply to [[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]]. I'll go ahead and post what I tried to post earlier today but couldn't.

:Even if she wasn't physically present in the Generation I games, if she was, she would've been named Green, not Leaf. Since Red isn't renamed Fire and Blue isn't renamed Water in Generation III, why should we call her Leaf, instead of sticking with colors? And you're confusing me about the default name ''Leaf'''s presence in the games. At first you said that Green is only present in LeafGreen, but Leaf is present in both versions. Now you turn around and say that both Green ''and'' Leaf are only present in LeafGreen. Which is it? If the latter is true, then Green has just as much in game support as Leaf does, excluding unseen dummy files in the game data. You even brought up the fact that Blue's name in the game data is strange, not being Green like it should be (since that's his Japanese name). If we can't trust the internal data for Blue's name, then why should we trust it for Leaf/Green's name? With that said, if you exclude the internal data that can't be taken as fact and media outside of the games, then both names, Green ''and'' Leaf, have the same amount of supporting evidence for them (that is, assuming your first comment about the name Leaf being present in FireRed wasn't true, as you later suggested). They're tied, 1-1. So you have a choice to make. Should you go with the name that's present in placeholder data in the game (which can't be trusted, as shown by Blue's placeholder data), or should you go with the name that's also used in other media, ''and'' is more logical, fitting the color naming scheme? I think the choice is pretty obvious. Green is the name to go with. —[[User:Tyeforce|Tyeforce]] 06:13, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
::Because she wasn't officially /in/ Gen I can she be inclusive to it. She existed as art and an idea that wouldn't come to fruition until Kris: a heroine choice. She may have "exist", but she is not a canon character until Gen III. This being her official debut, she has nothing to go on but these two games. She cannot be called Green, since FireRed is the Alpha game, making the "Green" character the rival (in essence). But seeing as there is no third game to possibly pawn her off on, the last bit is to chop the title in half, one name for the rival, and one name for the girl. Because the rival isn't officially 'Blue' by Gen III standards, since no Blue game exists in Gen III. Yes, he ''is'' Blue, in every English Gen that ''isn't'' the third. And since he's not Blue, but "Green," she, as a Gen III character, cannot be "Green". Hence. As she is a Gen III character only (so far), she cannot be named by the standards of Gen IV, only her own generation. If she had made an appearance in Gen IV...only ''then'' could her name be argued beyond the scope of her limited exposure.

Anyways, since each "trio" follows a theme, meaning that the names have to be consistent with one another. Emoguy was given no clear name in HG/SS, so I can understand why we still call him Silver, since Ethan was previously known as Gold, but ANYWAYS, each name in the trio has to be consistent. Logically, what makes more sense: Red, Leaf, and Blue? Or Red, Green, and Blue? If it's that hard to notice people, '''the Kanto trio are named after colors''' Notice how "Leaf" is not a color.

I remember that a few years back, this page had an interesting point of trivia. "If Leaf had been included in Red and Green with her original design, she would have been the only playable character to date without headwear." Well, that was the gist of it, but I'm sure it was worded better. Even now, 20 years after the original games, this is still true. Well, in the Playable Characters' default forms at least. Sun and Moon's protags are apparently able to remove their hats through customization. Could that be re-added?

Design-wise, this case is much different from the Kris/Lyra situation. Leaf and Green share the exact same design (brown hair, brown eyes, same hair, same shirt). It's just that the clothes are a little different. They're based on the same "unused Gen 1 girl". It's very obvious they're the same character. Kris and Lyra were different enough to warrant the split, but the same can not be said for Leaf and Green. The page should be renamed to Green.

== Is LGPE Green the same person as Leaf? ==

Starting a new section because the last one got a bit out of hand.

My argument is as follows: Green shares more visual similarities with her Gen 1 design than she does with Leaf, and shares her Japanese name with her Gen 1 design but not with Leaf. Because Leaf's Japanese name was given to her during the development of LGPE, she would have been named as "Blue" (ENG Green) on that figure if she were the same character as Green. Also, there are no official sources that state that Leaf is the same character as either version of Green.

This means that the following course of events is very possible: Nintendo/Game Freak decided to put Red/Blue/Green in LGPE. Because Red and Blue are based on their Gen 1 designs, they chose to use Green from Gen 1 instead of Leaf from Gen 3, despite the fact Green didn't make it into the finished version of Gen 1. Green did take some traits from Leaf, but is still a distinct character of her own.

If any of you can refute that statement, feel free to respond. [[User:Bwburke94|bwburke94]] ([[User talk:Bwburke94|talk]]) 13:39, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

:My argument is that the Green we see in LGPE shares all physical features with Leaf and wears a hybrid outfit of hers and Leaf(these similarities were not the case with Kris and Lyra) and are both associated as part of the Kanto trio.

:Back when FRLG came out they updated the original trio, Red got a new outfit, Blue got a new outfit and unused gen 1 girl got a new outfit, she so happened to be named Leaf in the data so that is the name she got stuck with on here, but that holds no merit, Blue was named Terry in the data, so should there be a Terry(game) page? No, of course not. Had she be named Green back then, I'd highly doubt we would be having this discussion and everyone would easily accept that it is the same character just like everyone accepts that fact for Red and Blue.

::Your argument relies on the assumption that Leaf is directly based on the protagonist from the unused Pokémon art. The creators never confirmed this, only that she drew inspiration from that character. This new Green is inspired by both the unused character and Leaf, that part is true, but "inspired by" is not the same as "is the same character". There is overwhelming evidence to support that Red and Blue are the same characters as the original, especially because they have appeared in multiple games before this. I would also like to add that Leaf's FR/LG appearance is drastically different from the unused character than Red and Blue's appearances compared to their Gen I counterparts, so it seems to me that Game Freak decided to recycle some old concepts while creating Leaf and then return to their original plan for Pokémon Let's Go. --[[User:LavaringX|LavaringX]] ([[User talk:LavaringX|talk]]) 14:28, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

:::You people really overestimate Kotobukiya's value. It's not a Game Freak source (and we don't know their philosophy of naming player characters - for example, if they made a GSC male character figure and named it "Gold", would you split Ethan's article into two? Or if they made an USUM-based "Ailey" figure?) and the FR/LG data name is just unused beta content. The pose and design of her LGPE appearance makes it blindingly clear that they meant Green to represent both the FR/LG girl character and the unused Gen I girl. Of course they wouldn't make her appear in her full FR/LG attire, because that'd be inconsistent with Red and Green's designs in these games. But they gave her some FR/LG elements in order to make her recognizable (not that it was ever a problem to recognize her - to me, Red's Gen I and Gen III designs are way more apart than Green's, but that's of course an opinion). How is it speculation? It's simply logic. I know that Bulbapedia loves denying things until an unambiguous answer is shoved into our faces. But treating the two as separate is just as speculative than treating them as one (I'd say way more speculative, considering that GF is obviously trying to bring their appearances together). They are different characters, but only because of multiverse and in this logic, we would have to split literally everyone. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 14:37, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

::::::::IMO, “Leaf” and “Green” are clearly the same character. Green’s design is a hybrid of the designs of the female player character from FRLG and the beta character from Red and Blue. (Her dress is black like in RB, and it has the same ring as the top as it does in FRLG. Additionally, the yellow bag and the hairstyle (without the hat) is the same from FRLG.) She was revealed alongside Red and Blue and she plays a similar role in game to both of them. Heck, her new name even is parallel to Red and Blue’s. It makes sense that the female player character, the male player character, and the rival would be highly connected. I think that just because her new name doesn’t match with a fan name that was given to her long ago and picked up by a non-GAMEFREAK source should not dictate that two characters who, by examining the designs and the roles they play, are the same character, are NOT the same character.

Despite Let's Go already being in development at the time of the figure's conception, they clearly had no issue with Leaf as the character's name. Unless the staff is interested in introducing a magical "degrees of canonicity" system, I don't see why it should be discredited.

:::Honestly I don't think they should be split, and should be just simply referred to as Green. Leaf and Green have similar facial structures, hairstyles, hair color, eye color, and even the same bag. Heck, both her and Red's VS models in Pikachu & Eevee are both nods to their sprites in FRLG. As for her outfit, in the context of Pikachu & Eevee both Red and Blue both use their Gen I designs, so it does make sense that Green's outfit is designed similarly to the prototype female character. As for her name, it's most likely a simple establishment that her name is Green. Similar to Ethan in GSC, it was never established in the games her name was Leaf. Leaf only came from internal game data, which referred to her as such. Granted Kotobukiya did announce a figurine of her under Leaf, but that's all it is, an announcement. For all we know the name could be changed when her figurine is officially released. [[User:Sinjoh|Sinjoh]] ([[User talk:Sinjoh|talk]]) 16:45, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

:::It seems to me that the only argument that people have in favor of them being separate characters is their different names. Which, if you ask me, is a pretty weak argument, seeing how she was never called Leaf in the games. PLG was the first time the games gave her a canon name; Leaf can be seen as more of a placeholder name in lieu of a real name, like Gold. Everything else about Leaf and Green supports them being the same character, with their nigh identical designs, and the fact that Green is paired with Red and Blue in PLG. I agree that she should only be referred to as Green by the article. Moreover, while PLG Green's look is clearly based on the design of the unused female player character from Gen I, they altered it to make her look more like Leaf. If Game Freak had intended for her to be seen as a separate character, you would expect them to make her look ''less'' like Leaf, not the other way around. [[User:Golden Trainer|Golden Trainer]] ([[User talk:Golden Trainer|talk]]) 21:24, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

::::As far as Game Freak is concerned, they seem to be treated as separate characters, although Leaf is based on Green. Even in materials published since the release of Let's Go, merchandise and references that allude to the character from FR/LG are referred to under the name "Leaf" (or are otherwise not named at all, like in SSBU) while materials referring to the character from Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee refer to her as Green (or Blue, in Japanese). The blue on Green's clothing is a reference to her Japanese name, it's not intended to make her look more like Leaf. Even discounting these facts, there is a lot of circumstantial evidence that suggests they are not meant to be the same character, such as the fact that Leaf is used in media as interchangeable with Red (e.g. Super Smash Brothers Ultimate) and does not have much of a personality, while Green is given her own, more mischievous personality and does not merely function as a mirror to Red (if Green and Leaf were indeed interchangeable, either the FR/LG character would be more fleshed out in her appearances or Green would only repeat "..." in Pokémon Let's Go). If nothing else, separating the pages into Leaf and Green would make it easier for casual Bulbapedia users to follow the content; especially if the Green page incorporated information about the unused player character that we currently have under the unused character designs page. --[[User:LavaringX|LavaringX]] ([[User talk:LavaringX|talk]]) 05:42, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

:::::Even if they are the "same character", there is enough variation in the portrayals of her between games that it could warrant two separate articles. It's similar to how there's separate pages for Ash from the main show and Ash from the I Choose You universe. The FR/LG portrayal of this character is different enough from the Let's Go portrayal of the character that it's easier to follow if there are two separate articles. --[[User:LavaringX|LavaringX]] ([[User talk:LavaringX|talk]]) 05:53, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

::::::So then by that, then should the player characters that act as NPCs, such as Ethan, Lyra, Dawn, Lucas, etc. deserve their own articles as NPCs since they exude a personality other than silent protagonist and aren't mirrors to the player character when so. Green can be easily seen in a similar vein to the aforementioned player characters when they're NPCs, since Red has already been long established to be the canon player character of the Gen I games and their remakes. Also why are you using a game that isn't even developed by Game Freak as proof that Leaf and Green aren't the same? Smash Bros. Ultimate is developed by Sora, Ltd. and Namco Bandai, not Game Freak. Lastly, the only thing that refers to Green as "Leaf" is the internal data (which isn't very consistent, and isn't used as a basis for naming characters, ala Barry, Elio, and Selene), and the Kotobukiya figurine '''''announcement''''', as in the figurine hasn't been officially released, and the name could potentially change once it's released.

Given the unusual nature of this article post-move, would it make sense to use LGPE Green's model for the infobox picture?

There's concept art and she'll most likely have official art down the road whenever they decide to use that. The concept art will most likely be used in the infobox until the official art releases, while the FRLG art would be sent to the "other art" infobox near the bottom of the page.

== The "Green/Leaf" title is REALLY necessary? ==

I don't understand why there's a whole bureaucracy with her name compared to all the other characters.

Honestly... she was NEVER called "Leaf" in any official media. This name was taken from the internal files of the games, which is understandable to use this name until the present time, because it was the closest of a name that we had for her.

But it was never completely introduced into the canon of story, it was always a conjecture that the fandom settled over time. But now that she's finally got her name formally introduced as "Green/Blue" in the games, it seems that this commodity is hindering leaving the name "Leaf" aside.

The same applies to the character "Silver" as we believe it to be his name on bases that are just conjecture. If he has an official name one day, chances are it will be something different. Will we simply put on his page: "Canon name/Silver"? Doesn't sound professional to me.

It's been revealed that her name is Green/Blue, so be it...
Just put in the trivias that her files on FireRed/LeafGreen is named "Leaf", which may be just a "provisional name" which is perfectly common in games archives. [[User:SuzukiTenma|SuzukiTenma]] ([[User talk:SuzukiTenma|talk]]) 18:35, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Sorry if i'm getting the whole context wrong, but going by that whole rationale, shouldn't we also apply "Brendan/Landon" to [[Brendan (game)]], since we have the [[Landon (Groundbreakers 41)|Landon]] figure from the TFG? (which is clearly intended to be based off the 'playable' Brendan from Ruby)

Personally, I'm opposed to this whole "Green/Leaf" and "Brendan/Landon" thing.

IMO, '''Green''' should be her main designation for most uses to avoid unneeded convolution.

I don't think insisting on using "Leaf" within the context of FireRed/LeafGreen holds much ground any longer. If we use the internal data to justify that, we'd have to use Terry as [[Blue (game)|Blue]]'s name within the context of FR/LG too. Otherwise "Leaf" is just one of her many default names (as valid as "Fire", "Green", "Red", "Hillary", "June", "Rey", etc)

While figures ARE official and directly based on the games, they're just interpretations, supplementary (and not integral) in nature.

Thus, I think we should only use "Leaf" in sections referring to the Kotobukiya figure, for now. -- [[User:Yagamitaichi|Yagamitaichi]] ([[User talk:Yagamitaichi|talk]]) 02:33, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

The reason being that Green is clearly an attempt to revive the old unused character, while Leaf may or may not be a separate thing entirely. If it was "so obvious" they were the same character the whole time, why keep information about the unused character on a separate page until the release of LGPE, which doesn't prove anything other than to reintroduce the idea of the character of Green? --[[User:LavaringX|LavaringX]] ([[User talk:LavaringX|talk]]) 03:20, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

:::::Although I still stand by my opinion, I am grateful to you for being civil and courteous on the matter and for discussing this in a rational way. Of course people should be allowed to share their opinion; however, I think we should stick with the compromise for now. To answer your question, the difference is in the complicated history of the character. The original unused character was never given a name or even made canon, and so everything that has come after, be it Green or Leaf, can only be seen as interpretations of the character. The Gold/Ethan thing doesn't count because "Gold" was an established character from the beginning, and the Brandon/Landon thing doesn't count because Brandon was an official name and an established character by the time of that figure's release. The LGPE Green was given her name as a reference to Pokémon Adventures and to canonize the unused character, which suggests, at least to me, that they intended for Leaf to be a separate character. Since we've been treating Leaf as a separate character from the unused character from the time of FRLG's release to the time of LGPE's release, I think we should stick with treating them as separate characters for consistency. --[[User:LavaringX|LavaringX]] ([[User talk:LavaringX|talk]]) 09:35, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
::::::I think I understand your position a little bit more. However, up until November 16 of this year, information on the unused female protagonist was on this page-- we had been treating them as the same up until then, as I also believe we should continue to in the future. Additionally, I think that "Gold" from GSC was just as much of an established character as "Leaf" from FRLG. I don't really think that LGPE Green was given the name "Green" to canonize the unused character and to reference Pokémon Adventures, as she didn't really have a canon name prior to LGPE, just a placeholder name that was widely adopted by the community.

::::::Basically, at least from how I see it, she didn't have a canon name before, and now she has one which is more in line with her [[Red (game)|two]] [[Blue (game)|counterparts]], and she also has a design which merges aspects of her two older designs.--[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 15:59, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

I know I’m beating a dead horse but honestly it’s ridiculous to have two names for (what we are treating as) one character. Assuming that they’re the same character, why does her being explicitly given a name in LGPE not override whatever Kotobukiya decides to name their figure, especially before it’s even officially released? Using two names for one character is honestly just confusing as hell to read, and the fact that one is from the games explicitly and the other is not just adds to that.

We should use one name universally if we’re going to treat Green as one character, which seems to be what BP is wanting to do. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 13:14, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

== To be or not to be that's the question. (Or why is that even a question in the first place?) ==

So, let's have one final discussion regarding any controversies on "Leaf" and "Green" being the same person or not (let's not confuse with this with the Green/Leaf naming controversy, which is a different, albeit closely related issue). The older ones seems to have become overlong and riddled with personal opinions without much regard to actual evidence on both sides. Things just got harder and harder to follow as time went on.

Pros:

* Same hairstyle as seen on FRLG and Gen I artwork.
* Obvious FRLG influences on her attire (backpack is exactly the same from FRLG, and that little pattern on the collar is now blue)
* Red and Blue are 'slightly updated' Gen I-like designs, so Green was changed accordingly to fit the theme (Remember Sugimori said he just updated the Gen I girl for the female FRLG protagonist, rather than creating a new character from scratch).
* "Leaf" trademark pose from the FRLG Trainer Card is the same as Green's challenging pose from LGPE, hair flip and all.

Cons:

* Someone asked Ken Sugimori on Twitter about her default FRLG name, and he responded "Leaf... Maybe?"
** However, 'default name' in a broader sense, 'may' not necessarily mean the same thing as the "canon name" to be used throughout the game series. The [[Blue (game)|Generation I Rival]]'s canon name is "Blue" for example, despite that not being a default name for him in [[Pokémon Blue]] or the remakes.

It's extremely unlikely anyone from The Pokémon Company or Game Freak will ever issue a formal, definite statement on such a simplistic matter. So I think the best solution would be a voting session once we compile a few more Pros and Cons. -- [[User:Yagamitaichi|Yagamitaichi]] ([[User talk:Yagamitaichi|talk]]) 15:40, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

:An additional pro on the deisgn front could be the wrist bands.

{{indent}}May I remind everyone what abcboy said in his comment: "If/when the Kotobukiya figurine gets released by TPCi in English, this decision will be reevaluated." Any sort of poll or discussion is moot. Until the figure gets '''released''' and we know what its name is (whether it'll be leaf or green), ''then'' something will be done. All this back and forth is just a pointless waste of time and effort for something that isn't going to happen until the figure gets released.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:29, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

:::@ForceFire, discussion about whether Leaf and Green are the same person, since someone decided to add a "The contents of this article have been suggested to be split into Green (game) and Leaf (game)" banner at the top of Green's page after abcboy's comment. And to be honest, my major problem with the Leaf/Green thing is why a figurine is being used for her official name, when the games should be taking precedence over supplementary materials. Back when HGSS released, it was pretty much determined that Gold would be henceforth known as Ethan, regardless of the supplementary materials, such as the game guides or instruction booklets bundled with GSC, referring to him as Gold. Similarly with Brendan, he was referred to as "Orlando" in the ORAS demo, but the name Brendan was still kept when ORAS officially released. With Selene/Elio, since neither were given names outside of internal data, which is typically inconsistent for many PCs, it was decided to use supplementary materials for the basis of both of their names. Administration more or less set a precedent that the games come first before supplementary materials, and I don't understand why this precedent isn't being followed upon with Green.

I think this is not difficult to understand XD. In remake line, she was named Leaf (Gen 2 girl named Lyra in this line), and in original line, she was named Blue/Green (Gen 2 girl named Crys in this line).

She can be the same character or a different character. In some respects, the judgment of Pokemon Adventures manga is justified. Although I know that some people
don’t think so.

This page does not need to be split in my opinion. Crys/Lyra, Gold/Ethan, Elio, and Selene things already confused enough. I only want to change infobox picture to LGPE instead of continuing to use Leaf's picture.

By the way, Kotobukiya has not changed her name and continues to use it now. Leaf does exist as an official name. [[User:E9310103838|E9310103838]] ([[User talk:E9310103838|talk]]) 00:28, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
::Kris and Lyra have been confirmed to be separate characters, unlike Ethan, Elio, and Selene. Also except for the figurine, Leaf was never officially used as a name for the character. In addition, as far as I'm aware and can find, the figurine was announced as Leaf, and has yet to actually be released. Something that is announced can easily change once it's released, and also, let's not forget that the announcement came out shortly before Pikachu & Eevee, and at that point we had no confirmation that even Red or Blue were going to appear. She may've initially intended to be named "Leaf" in Pikachu & Eevee, but changed late in development, or the artist who designed the artwork for the figurine, Hitoshi Ariga, was unaware that she was going to be called Green in Pikachu & Eevee (he didn't work on Pikachu & Eevee, so this is possible), calling her Leaf, since that was the fan consensus name for her at that point. Fact of the matter, we don't know ''who'' exactly coined her Leaf, whether it was someone at Game Freak or Kotobukiya. Even so, the staff on Bulbapedia have already made precedence that the games come before any sort of supplementary material, as is the case of Ethan upon release of HGSS, and if there is nothing in the games that indicates a name, excluding internal data, as this varies for some PCs, then supplementary material should be used, as was the case with Elio and Selene. I would expect staff to be consistent on matters like this, as it reflects poorly on them, as they're backtracking on a convention they had already established. If a staff member went, "Much like Ethan in HGSS, Pikachu & Eevee establish that Leaf's official name is Green" there would probably be some people who would disagree with this, much like Ethan, but most of the people here would not be vocal about this as they are now.

{{indent}}To continue to beat a dead horse, I still, after this time, think we should remove all references to the character being called "Leaf".

We know a couple of things:
* We are currently treating Green from FRLG and Green from LGPE as the same character, as we should continue to do, since we have in the past with character differences between generations with much bigger design changes and functional differences. See Elio, Selene, Blue, etc...
* Green is the name used in LGPE. There is no official name used in FRLG.
** "Leaf" was the name that Kotobukiya used prior to LGPE's release.
*** Kotobukiya figures are not the main games.
* TPCI has [[Ethan (game)|changed character names before]]. The solution was to go with the most recent name. This name change applied retroactively to games before the name change, like this article is currently NOT doing.
* In the past, Bulbapedia has prioritized information in the main games over secondary sources. Currently, this precedent is not being applied here.
* <s>Not that it matters, but this is one of the things that other Pokemon forums make fun of Bulbapedia for-- I've seen this exact debate being used as evidence of Bulbapedia's incompetency on more than one occasion.</s>

The obvious solution is to call Green by her canonical name. Besides, as I mentioned above, the article is incredibly confusing as it stands. The whole Green/Leaf debacle turned what was previously a serviceable article into kind of a jumbled mess, and one of our poorer articles, just because of a difference in name and a minor change in design. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 01:23, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

[https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/products/2019/1000136258.html A new Leaf figure was made by Bandai], and it specifically states she is Leaf, the girl proatgonist of ''Fire Red and Leaf Green'', without mentioning Blue from ''Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee''.

::''Fire Red and Leaf Green'' actually had ''Leaf'' as internal name for her and did not give a direct name to the girl protagonist, so the figures using that name aren't against what the games state, since they specifically mention that they are representing the girl protagonist of ''Fire Red and Leaf Green''.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 18:16, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

In all the mangas and most other side projects, the two were referred to as Gold and Silver respectively. Outside of the manga, until Generation IV, Ethan / Gold had no official name. Silver still has no official name himself but that is a different topic. Hope this was helpful. :) ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 18:13, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

:::::Alright, my bad. I guess the two pages are not comparable. My point still stands that we should remove any reference to “Leaf”— it muddles the page and I do really think we should strive for name consistency even in the lack of a precedent. I can’t think of any other page that has had this issue but my strong opinion is that for this page and for future pages we should replace older names with newer ones, even when referring to before the name change.

::::::Yes it is, the name "Leaf" has never been used in an official capacity by Game Freak, much like Gold. The only time "Leaf" has been used the franchise is non-canonical material, and figurines made by a different company. Even with the figurines, we don't know if Game Freak gave them the names for the characters or if they simply went with what the fans have been referring to her as over the years. Also, again, I have to ask, why the hell are '''''figurines''''' taking precedence over '''''the games''''' in the first place? Pokémon is a video game franchise, not a figurine collecting one. I get why Elio and Selene were named such after their merchandise, since it's the only names being used officially, and the placeholder names in the game data are unused since they can vary from game to game (such as Red), but why are people waiting for a figurine to be released, when the games have given her the name "Green"? [[User:Sinjoh|Sinjoh]] ([[User talk:Sinjoh|talk]]) 12:30, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
:::::::Regarding ''"why the hell are '''''figurines''''' taking precedence over '''''the games'''''"''... They are not. FRLG did not give its female PC any name. So, this figure that is specifically referring to FRLG becomes that PC's most canon name.
:::::::Regarding ''"for future pages we should replace older names with newer ones, even when referring to before the name change"''... That's not our policy. We still refer to the [[Dowsing Machine]] as the Itemfinder for the early games. We have, for both Dowsing Machine and Green, moved both pages to use the newer names, but those older names are still to be used for the games they belong to. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 13:06, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
::::::::No offense, but I find that policy silly and confusing. This article is already convoluted as it is with the whole Green/Leaf debacle, this potentially sets a very dangerous precedent for future articles. Besides, “Itemfinder” was an actual name used in a game. There are no scenarios in which a player will encounter the name “Leaf” in game without setting it for themselves. And that’s not even touching upon the dubious canonicity of the name “Leaf” in general. Green’s “most canon name” IS Green, FRLG or LGPE, because that’s the only name that’s ever been used in a game to describe her. That’s like saying that Red’s name in RBY isn’t Red because he wasn’t called that until GSC.

::::::::::As above, Ethan/Gold is not comparable to Green/Leaf here. Nor is Red. Red was established by clear story continuity in future games (and remained very consistent); Green does not have any line of story continuity back to FRLG. They are not the same. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:24, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
:::::::::::As above, the manuals in Ethan/Gold are just as relevant to GSC than the figures for Green/Leaf are to FRLG. Actually, I take that back; they're MORE relevant-- the manuals are included with the games themselves, whereas the figures (in other words, not connected to the games) are made by another company. I guess you're right in that the two pages are not comparable, because this situation is somehow more nonsensical. I don't understand how figures being made by another company are pertinent at all to this discussion.

:::::::::::"Red was established by clear story continuity in future games (and remained very consistent); Green does not have any line of story continuity back to FRLG." This point makes the least sense. If, by some weird decision at Gamefreak, they decided to call Red "Ash" or "Frank" or something in SM, would we still use "Red" for pre-SM because there's "no continuity between the games"?

:::::::::::And again, unlike Red, the name "Leaf" has NEVER been used in the games, only in noncanon materials. How it is still relevant at all is beyond me. There is, however, a name that HAS been used in the games, and people keep coming up with ridiculous, half-assed loopholes to write it off. I'm sorry for being so passionate but it's incredibly frustrating to me that common sense is being thrown out the window for this. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 00:35, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
::::::::::::You agreed above that "the two pages are not comparable". I thought perhaps you had just forgotten but now you're doubling down on trying to wave Ethan/Gold around. I'm super confused by your flip-flopping.
::::::::::::Your "Frank" hypothetical, for all you may mean it to be absurd, has already been answered. Just as we use ItemFinder for the games ''that'' was used in, if GameFreak established a discontinuity and appeared to change "Red"'s name, we'd keep using Red for the games ''that'' was used in. Just as we still use {{m|Faint Attack}} and [[List of modified moves#Name changes|others]]. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:09, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
{{indent}}When I say “I guess you’re right in that the two pages are not comparable”, I was mostly using that for comedic effect, as indicated by the following words. I do think they are similar scenarios but the fact that people are still insisting on using “Green” I think is far more ridiculous, hence the comedic “not comparable.” Sorry for the confusion. Maybe I’m just not good at sarcasm. I’ll try to mark it clearly in the future.

I’ve already explained my counterpoint to that last part. Player character names are, by design, not set in stone. There will never be a player who encounters the name “Leaf” in normal gameplay without explicitly setting it for themselves. In contrast, a player would see the words Itemfinder and Faint Attack in game. I’ve explained this before and I shouldn’t need to again. The same logic can not be applied. I admit that I should not have picked Red for my example, as Red has appeared in a game before. Let’s try a different example— if Nate appeared in a future game with a different name, would we change prior names to fit? I’d hope so, personally.

Again... why is a figure relevant at all in the face of an official name? Perhaps if it were a manual it would be different. /s

By the way, I think I’m allowed to change my opinion on something, or “flip-flop” if you will, if someone brings up a point I didn’t think of, as Sinjoh has. But by now I’m pretty set that yeah, the scenarios on Ethan and Green are pretty damn comparable. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 02:28, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

::::Wow, the section has gotten much longer since I last responded. I do want to try adding in some more thoughts to the matter. Sinjoh noted that "Leaf" had never been used or acknowledged as a name but Sugimori teased on Twitter back in 2011 that it is ''maybe'' her official name despite the only other notable things giving her a name were the manga and even then, those were inconsistent as you had two characters based on her named Green and later, Blue. Green, Red, Fire, and Leaf were also all possible default names for her as well in Generation III. I imagine Sugimori stating it was ''maybe'' her name at the time did not help either. I think the ONLY thing that could really be seen as similar at the time is that Leaf / Green and Gold / Ethan both had manga counterparts and was most likely where a lot of people started to pick up calling those two ''Leaf'' and ''Gold'' respectively. Leaf can also be stated to be used ''in-game'' to some capacity if you count that Leaf is the default name given to her in the internal data of the game as has been stated numerous times earlier in the game. I imagine I am probably adding some confusion to this article's talk page and I do apoligize for that.

::::As for a page split which I cannot seem to find any discussion of, I would be ok leaving it as one page for now. If anything, roughly 90% of this page over the past 10 or so years has been nothing but a discussion over whether or not she should be called Leaf or Green. I would modify the header at the top of the page to note that Green / Leaf is called ''Leaf'' by default in the game's internal data to lessen confusion and possibly prevent creating a far longer discussion over her actual name in the long run.

:::::Tiddlywinks, thanks for clarifying. I don’t think that GSC Ethan’s official name is Gold and I definitely don’t think that page should be changed. I’m just extremely confused on how the Pokémon Gold manual isn’t relevant (which I agree with) and a figure is. If we’re applying a line of logic to Ethan we should apply the same logic to Green. I keep bringing up Gold because i think it’s a very good comparison to highlight the disparity of policies used, not to show my own opinions.

::::::Then there's the other thing. We're not ignoring the manuals. But going off the details FrozenFennec gave, they gave him different names. If he was Gold (or Joe or whatever) in both, then yeah, we could take that as his name.

:::::::I feel like this is getting into more of a difference of opinions on policies, which I don't really want to get into. I believe that if he was given a different but consistent name in the manuals, then we should still call him Ethan in GSC contexts. One character, one name. But if you really wanted to go that route, then the solution consistent to the Green page would be to use Gold{{sup/2|G}}/Silver{{sup/2|S}} in GSC contexts. (Which, for clarity, is absolutely not what I'm suggesting we do.)

:::::::I still feel like figures are not a reliable source to use for names in the face of an existing name in the games, regardless of which games each name replies to. Merch made by other companies, IMO, is scraping the bottom of the barrel for information, and should really only done if there's a lack of official name, like for Elio and Selene.

:::::::Speaking of Elio and Selene, don't those names only apply to Sun and Moon too, as per the statement for the Kotobukiya figure, and not USUM? Why do we refer to them as Elio and Selene for USUM contexts, but we don't refer to Green as...well, Green for FRLG contexts?

::::::::Fact: we're not going to use a name from later for anything that has an official name in a previous generation. This is very simple. These things MUST be immediately recognizable to anyone playing those games. If a game calls a character Alice but in a remake 5 years later she was called Eve, if someone's playing the first game and they're trying to figure something out here, referring to Eve will just make them wonder, "Who the hell is Eve? This seems like where I am but I don't know her so when is this, then? And why isn't there anything about Alice?" That's not OK.
::::::::(If you want to explain something and then say you don't want that...then I think I'm just going to forego any comment on it. Separately: if you have an issue with Elio and Selene specifically, I suggest taking that to a different talk page.)
::::::::The lack of an official name in the '''specific''' context of FRLG makes the figure merch just as acceptable as for Elio and Selene. While you may think that this cannot hold a candle to a name in a remake later...the short version is that we simply do not agree with you. I have tried explaining the logic; you're denigrating the values. There's not really a lot of persuasion to exercise there. (If you want to seriously accept our values and explain how you think that we should do X for some page if we really want Green's page like this (and if we don't want that then we need to fix Green), we can explore that. But I think you've said it: there is a part of this about opinions that will simply bear no fruit.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:34, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
:::::::::I've been reluctant to take part in this discussion, but I think right now may be a good moment to add something. If I understood corectly, the lack of an in-game name and therefore usage of a merch name for Green/Leaf in FRLG is comparable to the situation of Elio and Selene in SM and USUM. Also, it appears to me that the names Elio and Selene were given in the context of Sun and Moon specifically and later extended to USUM. So, hypothetically, let's say that both Elio and Selene appeared in USUM as NPCs and were given different names in those games (say, Rick and Cindy). In this situation, how would we deal with the names of those characters? Would Rick and Cindy be used widely, since they had no in-game names before that (and considering that they are the same characters as in Sun and Moon), or would we still call them Elio and Selene when referring to Sun and Moon?
:::::::::I'd like you people to try to picture this situation I described unbiased, so maybe we can extend whatever answer it receives to Green/Leaf as well. And if my logic has any flaws, please point them out, but still try to picure that scenario. [[User:Suic12-|Suic]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 02:10, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
::::::::::To Suic: I would hope that Bulbapedia would only use Rick and Cindy, even when referring to Sun and Moon contexts. They'd never appeared as NPCs before, only as characters named by the player, and the names were essentially made "official" by the Kotobukiya figures. Which I believe is only valid here because there is an absense of anything better.

::::::::::To Tiddlywinks:

::::::::::Calling Kotobukiya calling her "Leaf" "official" is incredibly shaky. And I doubt the average user or FRLG player is going to see the name "Green" and think "well, who the hell is that?" anymore than they would with the name "Leaf". By trying to be "immediately recognizable" we are making this article more confusing, ironically.

::::::::::I don't have an issue with Elio or Selene's pages. I have an issue with the fact that those pages are following one line of logic and this one isn't. I guess my examples are going over your head. If they're legitimately confusing to you, then I'll also "forego any comment on it".

::::::::::If this is the policy for the future, that figures trump games as long as it's not the EXACT SAME game, then I will say that I strongly disagree, and that it goes against established Bulbapedia values, and is only going to lead to further confusion, but ultimately, since an average Bulbapedia user like myself has practically zero say over anything that happens, I'm not gonna continue to push to improve this article after now. In my experience, Bulbapedia, specifically the moderator team, has always been weird about things that should be common sense but this is definitely the worst of it-- we've made so many loopholes that we've tangled and knotted our reasoning. I'll say it as concisely as I can-- this policy and, as a result, this page, is ridiculous and shitty.

::::::::::I do realize that my opinions "don't bear fruit", like you said, and I think that that's the most saddening part about this whole scenario. The fact that there's a policy that I feel is unfair and dangerous, and I have nothing that I, as a non-moderator, can do about it.

::::::::::I have nothing more to say on the matter. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 02:24, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
:::::::::::You're mixing issues when you propose that people wouldn't be confused by "Green" in the context of FRLG. You may think it's confusing but it's following strict policy (that I've explained more than once above) which we will not change. This may be an extreme case of that policy, but that itself is not enough reason to modify the policy or invalidate the name.
:::::::::::Regarding Elio/Selene, let me put it this way (again). If you want to explore how Leaf/Green means we should do something else with Elio/Selene, we can talk. Right now, all I hear is, "This is a problem for Elio/Selene--and you should be able to understand that--so you should invalidate Leaf/Green." Again: give details about what Leaf/Green should mean for other things. (As far as I'm concerned, this wouldn't need to be accompanied by "...So that means Leaf/Green sucks!" But I won't try to force that right now.)
:::::::::::Regarding the "Rick/Cindy" hypothetical... I think *I* would suggest handling it like Leaf/Green. (But...if you're trying to create a new situation, you should know that not everything in the real world has a ready answer. The final answer comes when it's needed.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 13:16, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
{{indent}}What I was trying to do was to make sure we would have a consistent way to handle a situation of this kind. Of course I know there is not a ready answer, but still sometimes it's important to stop and think about how we are handling things.

Without placing my opinion, right now I guess what we have is something like "a character's name is only valid for the game(s) in which the name appears, and a different source should be used for the name in the game(s) in which said character is not named".

Now, let me point out I'm not saying that what I just wrote should be final. Instead, I think we should elaborate that statement (thinking of all implications, but without creating unnecessary exceptions) so we can use it as a standard for all situations.

So, Tiddlywinks, can we try to elaborate a statement like that as a guideline? It would simplify a lot the situation and avoid most debates about whether or not the rules or policies are being followed for one or another character. Of course I also understand that something like this would probably also need to be aproved by the rest of the staff. [[User:Suic12-|Suic]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 13:49, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
:I feel like a policy like that is fine but I still strongly think that using figures as a source is dubious if there’s other things to go off of. We have no idea the level of communication that Kotobukiya has with Gamefreak. If “Leaf” ever appears in a game to describe her then sure. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 16:25, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
::I hate to continue to add on but this has been on my mind for the past couple of days... If Kotobukiya or Bandai or whoever were to release figures that said "Fire, the male player character from FRLG" or "Terry, the rival from FRLG," would we change those names on those pages for those games? --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 22:03, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
:::Your specific mention of "Fire" is interesting because, in addition to being the obvious game-name counterpart to "Leaf", it was a common Japanese fan name for remake Red. If a figure were to actually use "Fire" for remake Red, it would ''completely destroy'' my argument. [[User:Bwburke94|bwburke94]] ([[User talk:Bwburke94|talk]]) 08:38, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
::::Needless to say, the Bandai figures [https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/products/2019/45496604549660000.html use ''Red'' as name of Red] and [https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/products/2019/1000136260.html ''Green'' as name of Green] (Blue in the West). Incidentally, both the Green and Prof. Oak's figures reconfirm that these Bandai figures are themed after ''Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green'', again limiting the scope of what they are portraying. After all, this kind of licensed material needs approval from the owners of the Pokémon IP (typically, [[The Pokémon Company]]), it can be expected that they perform some checks on relevant details of IP such as name, basic bio and appearance. It's an official figure, not a fan-made one. In any case, the name ''Leaf'' being used in internal data to refer to the female protagonist of ''Fire Red and Leaf Green'' means that Game Freak named her ''Leaf'' internally, it has never been just a fan name or an arbitrary name to begin with.

::::Furthermore, we still don't know the full details of the connection between Green and Leaf. Considering how ''Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee'' are explicitly a remake of ''Yellow'', they are not forced to connect with ''Fire Red and Leaf Green'', not to say that they feature an alternate timeline, where especially Red has a different role. The design of Green is not just influenced by that of Leaf, she also resembles the female character on the cover of the Nintendo Official Guidebook of ''Red, Green and Blue''. Regarding the latter character, Sugimori said that [https://twitter.com/super_32x/status/269847118754217986 he was a little conscious of her when designing the female protagonist of ''Fire Red and Leaf Green''], which again points out how the relationship between Green from ''Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee'' and Leaf from ''Fire Red and Leaf Green'' might be more complex than we think.

::::In any case, the descriptions of both the figures of Leaf explicitly mention how the character portrayed is the female protagonist of ''Fire Red and Leaf Green'', Blue/Green from ''Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee'' is never called into question, therefore these figures strictly aren't against the games they are explicitly referring to.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 22:39, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
:::::(I was hoping nobody would actually use this point, but alas.) Internal data is practically completely irrelevant. They use all sorts of random names for internal data, such as the aforementioned Terry, as well as Kai and Lana for Elio and Selene respectively, or Ninten for Red in RBY... I could go on.

:::::I’m aware that Red and Blue both have figures already. But that didn’t answer my question. If for whatever reason they called them Fire and Terry, using the same phrasing that they do for Green from FRLG, would we use those names for FRLG only? No, obviously. It defies common sense to let figures control Pokémon canon so strongly. But that’s what we’re doing here.

:::::If anyone legitimately believes that if Kotobukiya called Red “Fire” for FRLG, then we should change it there, then I really don’t know what to say. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 03:18, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
::::::Red has a consistent name that since Gen II, Blue has a consistent name since Gen II. If a figure gave them different names, then we're going to ignore it because that is not the names they consistently had before. Leaf never had a consistent name until to Kotobukiya figure. Kotobuyika has consistently been calling the FRLG design of the character Leaf, hence why "we're holding the figure so highly".
::::::The name Green has only been used for the LGPE design of the character, not the FRLG one. And whether they are the same character is another thing. There is nothing saying that they are the same. Their clothes sharing similar colors is not proof, that could be chalked up as a reference. I don't follow the manga, so I'm not too sure about that, but the character existed before the FRLG design did.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:25, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
:::::::Wow, this is the biggest loophole we’ve seen so far.... so you’re saying that we should apply different logic to Red than to Green just because Green hadn’t shown up until later? So much for the strict policies that Tiddlywinks was advocating for and using to defend their argument.

:::::::I am absolutely dumbfounded that we’re still deliberating over whether they’re the same character or not. It’s common sense. Extremely similar outfit, similar function in game (it only makes sense that the female player character from FRLG would appear alongside the male player character from FRLG as NPCS). Honestly, I’m amazed (and pleasantly surprised) that nobody has legitimately suggested that Elio from SM and USUM are different characters, or really any pair of the same character with much more drastic design differences than the flipping of two colors and the omission of a hat. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 12:18, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
::::::::Red and Green don't have different logic. If a character has no name in a game, and has not had a name in a previous game, we may accept a name that pops up.
::::::::There's just no breating room to change Red's name because it has a very long history that doesn't have an "opening" like Green did (not to mention being so consistent). Green only received a name for LGPE, so FRLG was still iffy...and a figure popped up to fill that in.
::::::::We're not changing names willy-nilly like you fear. If you want to worry about anyone, Ethan is probably the only other PC who has a similar hole as Green.

{{indent}}While I agree that they are the same character, since the article was renamed Green I think the article should consistently call her Green. The reference to her old name Leaf should go to the Trivia section. {{ga|Ethan}}'s page consistently called him Ethan and didn't switch to Gold for Generation 2 contexts. So a figure called her Leaf. After a TFG figure called {{ga|Brendan}} "Landon," should we have figures as reliable sources to canon names? Especially a Japan-exclusive figure that doesn't release until September? As I recall, [[Gold (game)]] was only moved to [[Ethan (game)]] on the North American release date of HeartGold and SoulSilver. His page was never Hibiki (game) when the Japanese version was out. And if it turns out we have to split Leaf from Green, it's only a matter of using a Find/Replace function.

==Why are we still calling her Leaf?==
This article opens with the following gem in the very beginning: "As the player character in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, she is known as Leaf (Japanese: リーフ Leaf)." This isn't even true. Why are we saying this? Whatever happened to, "Please only submit information you know to be accurate, and adhere to a neutral point of view. Do not misrepresent rumors, misconceptions or opinions as fact"? She's referred to as "Leaf" with some placeholder text in the game ROM that the player never even sees. In the game itself, her name is whatever the player types in. It was fine before we had her in any in-game NPC roles, but now that she's appeared as Green in Let's Go along with Red and Blue, we have an official canon name for the character. We don't call Red "NINTEN" because of placeholder data for his name in the Gen I games, because he got an NPC role in G/S/C which named him Red. We don't call Ethan "Gold" because of the instruction manual for Gold, because he got an NPC role in HG/SS which named him Ethan. We don't call Brenden "Landon" because of the figure made of him, because of his NPC role in R/S/E which named him Brenden. We don't call him Orlando either, even though the OR/AS demos called him that, because for all of these we have an understanding that main series games > spin-off games/demos > unused game data > figures/instruction manuals/etc.

But when I look through this page, I see countless instances referring to her as "Leaf", saying things like, "Leaf makes a cameo appearance in both Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness", or "Leaf as a palette swap of Pokémon Trainer in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate", or "Sprite of Leaf from Generation III", when NONE of these games refer to her outright by any name at all. I'd fix this page up myself, but I'm sure that if I did someone else would just swoop in and revert it or something anyways. Can we just agree on the name of this character, already? We've got an official name now, so it's time to quit arguing over it. And no, the character in Let's Go very clearly isn't a different character from the one in FR/LG any more than Red and Blue are. It seems like some people are just too attached to their long-held fan name for the character to let go of it, but seriously it's not like I see anyone saying that "Red" from G/S/C/FR/LG/HG/SS/B2/W2/S/M/US/UM/LGP/LGE/whatever is different from "Ninten" from Gen I because the canon name doesn't match the internal name or something. I think that it's about time we get our act together as a fandom, and publish articles like this one a bit more professionally. The name "Leaf" should be talked about in the character's name segment, and as a trivia footnote, but that's it.

:Correct me if I'm wrong, but apparently the name "Red" was introduced in the games when Red appears as an NPC in Generation II. If that's true, then back in Generation I he would be only known as Ninten (because of the internal data). The same rationale to use the name "Leaf" for Gen III Green could be potentially applied to use the name "Ninten" for Gen I Red. But I don't think anyone wants to call Red "Ninten". --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 21:22, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

== Leaf and Green ==

So with the addition of the Pokémon Let's Go protagonists appearing in Pokémon Masters, it got me thinking. What if in that game's continuity, they confirmed that Green is just an incarnation of Leaf? Like how Gary is an incarnation of Blue.

In Pokémon Adventures, Crystal, who was based on Kris, simply wears Lyra's outfit, which had some fans saying that Lyra was just an updated design of Kris, like what happened with Ethan. But then Kris and Lyra both appear in Masters, which showed us that the Pokémon Company viewed them as two separate characters, not the same character with a different name.

Leaf has been getting merchandise with her name on it, but also Green has been used for promotion as well, like in the TCG and Pokémon Unite.

I'm asking because in both of Leaf's and Green's pages it mentions how it has not been officially confirmed whether the two are the same with a different depiction, cross-canon counterparta, or are both separate character entirely. So I'm curious, what would need to happen in order to prove that Leaf and Green are the same character? Like would Leaf need an alt that has her wear Green's outfit to be proof that the Pokémon Company views Leaf and Green as the same character? Would Masters need to make references that Leaf did some of the things that Green did in the Let's Go games, like trying to catch Mewtwo, or that Leaf threw Pokéballs at the protagonist of Let's Go? [[User:TBR2001|TBR2001]] ([[User talk:TBR2001|talk]]) 05:33, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

:I wonder if there's generally any official confirmation for most of the cross-canon counterparts in Pokémon media. Is there any official source stating that Ethan and Gold are cross-canon counterparts, or are we just unofficially calling them counterparts based on perceived similarities? Should we consider all cross-canon counterparts (such as the relation between Ethan and Gold, or between Brendan and Ruby) as unconfirmed until we find some official sources backing them up?
:I think it's interesting that the article [[Green (Adventures)]] currently lists both {{ga|Leaf}} and {{ga|Green}} from the games as counterparts, and they also link back to Green (Adventures) as a counterpart. However, Leaf and Green from the games do not list each other as counterparts.
:It can be argued that Green and Leaf are are cross-canon counterparts or that those are two names for the same character. I don't see how they could be entirely separate characters (in the sense of not even being counterparts of each other) so maybe this part should be removed. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 07:32, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
::I kinda agree that it should be removed. Considering one is called Leaf in Japanese and the other is called Blue, I highly doubt they are meant to be the same character, even if they are clearly intended to be counterparts. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 10:44, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
Here's my take on the whole thing: I think Masters has already given enough hints to suggest that Green and Leaf are indeed supposed to at least be counterparts. Here's my reasoning. 1) Masters gave Leaf a clefable as her lodge pair. Lodge pairs are only ever mons that characters canonically have in the mainline games, especially in their NPC appearances. If the character is a protag that never got a NPC cameo, then they'll just get a starter from their region, as with the case of Gloria. However Leaf didn't get a kantonian starter, she got a clefable from Green’s NPC team. This seems to confirm that they consider Green an NPC version of Leaf.
2) Speaking of shared pokemon, the recent Kantonian mix pairs have been referencing the Kantrio’s Classic Starters. The next mix pair is obviously going to be Leaf and Blastoise, further confirming that they consider LGPE Green as Leaf’s classic counterpart.
3) Leaf’s personality is actually very similar to Green’s if you really think about it. Leaf says and does a lot of stuff that gives off LGPE Green vibes. I have a reddit post that explains this in detail. https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonMasters/comments/1dhz91a/personality_and_dialogue_similarities_between/
4) Masters actually gives Leaf an established relationship with Chase and Elaine, and the two LGPE protags seem to treat her like she's Green in relation to the Kantrio. Since Leaf is identical to Green appearance wise, you’d think that the two would ask Leaf if she knows Green, and if she's her sister or relative, but they don't. As a matter of fact literally no one makes a verbal reference to Green as a completely separate person from Leaf, not even Blaine even though he's the guy who randomly brought up Green in LGPE.
5) Leaf's unit literally makes references to LGPE. Right off the bat she has an Eevee who has a move called “Let's Go!” And one of her topics in the trainer lodge is Pewter Crunchies. It wouldn't really make much sense for her unit to make references to a game that she literally never made an appearance in, as that would be like if Lisia’s unit made references to Emerald.
TBH I wish I could've explained this in less words... but I think ya'll get the idea right?[[User:Darkfrost-star|Darkfrost-star]] ([[User talk:Darkfrost-star|talk]]) 00:37, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
:Worth noting how the ''Let's Go'' trainer move is a mistranslation: in the original Japanese script the true ''Let's Go'' trainer move is that of Professor Oak & Mew, Leaf & Eevee uses a completely different trainer' move whose more accurate translation would be something on the line of ''Let's Move Together''. Also worth noting how [https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=800957813663649&set=a.645599815866117 the Masters' trainer card of Leaf] explicitly mentioned FireRed and LeafGreen and not Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee among the trainer's appearances.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 18:12, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

User:Mister Wu/An Insight into the Dragon Egg Group

2024-05-26T22:11:02Z

Mister Wu: S/V DLC update

The concept of ''dragon'' in the Pokémon universe is pretty unclear. While in the recent [[generation]]s {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon are usually referred to as dragons (see for example how [[Raihan]] calls his {{p|Duraludon}}), it should be remembered that even Pokémon that are not Dragon-type are referred to as dragons, the most notable cases being {{p|Seadra}} and {{p|Kingdra}}, the [[Pokémon category|Dragon Pokémon]].

But while the criteria of establishing what is a dragon and what is not a dragon in the Pokémon world are not very clear, three grouping can at least be made which officially bear the ''Dragon'' name in them:

* The group of the {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon
* The group of the ''Dragon Pokémon'' as in [[Pokémon category]]
* The [[Dragon (Egg Group)|Dragon Egg Group]]

This latter group is what caught my attention, since a lot of my favorite Pokémon are there. Plus, '''all of the Dragon Pokémon belong to said group, while not all of them are Dragon-type''', making this group even more interesting. At this point, trying to understand ''why'' Pokémon were put into that group became quite fascinating for me. After a very little research on my part and a much bigger help from the Trivia section of the various Pokémon pages in this wiki, I think a few general groups and a few exceptions can be made, that I'll now try to describe in this subpage.

'''Important note''': in almost every case, '''only the fully evolved member of each [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolution family]] is considered''', as effectively the reason of the inclusion of the whole family in the Dragon Egg Group can be seen in said species, this being particularly evident in the case of {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Milotic}}. The only exception is made for {{p|Seadra}}, since it was aadded in a different generation from {{p|Kingdra}} and since it was known as ''Dragon Pokémon'' even before the addition of the latter and the introduction of the Dragon Egg Group.

==Main groups==
===Dragons===
As the name implies, many Pokémon in the Dragon Egg Group look like dragons, and this aspect alone can be seen as the reason why they are in this group:
====Western dragons====

====Sea serpents====

130Gyarados.png|{{p|Gyarados}}
350Milotic.png|{{p|Milotic}}
</gallery>
====Large serpents====

336Seviper.png|{{p|Seviper}}
844Sandaconda.png|{{p|Sandaconda}}
1019Hydrapple.png|{{p|Hydrapple}}
</gallery>
One thing that can be noted is that with more recent generations the design tended to steer away from the typical dragon designs, this being especially noticeable in the cases of {{p|Dragapult}} and {{p|Flapple}}.

===Seahorses and seadragons===
In Japanese culture, seahroses are often associated with dragons, and some species related to seahorses are effectively known as ''{{wp|Syngnathidae|seadragon}}s''. This can easily explain the presence of these seahorse-like Pokémon in the Dragon Egg Group:
<gallery>
117Seadra.png|{{p|Seadra}}
230Kingdra.png|{{p|Kingdra}}
691Dragalge.png|{{p|Dragalge}}
</gallery>
As noted before, this connection between these marine animals and dragons is so strong that {{p|Horsea}} and {{p|Seadra}} were known as ''Dragon Pokémon'' even before the Dragon Egg Group existed and before the Dragon type {{p|Kingdra}} was introduced.

===Dinosaurs===
In Japanese, dinosaurs are known as ''Kyōryū'' (「恐竜」), which means ''scary dragons''. Effectively, while the shift from ''{{p|Charmeleon|Lizardo}}'' to ''{{p|Charizard|Lizardon}}'' might be seen as the first case of a reference to this peculiar aspect of Japanese language, with ''-don'' being a typical suffix used for dinosaur names and thus for dragons as well, the first true dinosaur-like Pokémon can rather be seen in {{p|Sceptile}}, with {{p|Haxorus}} being currently the first Pokémon in this group that was confirmed to be based on dinosaurs.<ref>[http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-6/ Translation of several interviews with Game Freak developers].</ref> Quite a few Pokémon in the Dragon Egg Group can be seen as being derived from dinosaurs:
<gallery>
254Sceptile.png|{{p|Sceptile}}
612Haxorus.png|{{p|Haxorus}}
697Tyrantrum.png|{{p|Tyrantrum}}
706Goodra.png|{{p|Goodra}}
784Kommo-o.png|{{p|Kommo-o}}
1018Archaludon.png|{{p|Archaludon}}
998Baxcalibur.png|{{p|Baxcalibur}}
</gallery>
It should be noted that, apart for the case of Sceptile, the addition of dinosaurs to the Dragon Egg Group is relatively recent, historically the [[Monster (Egg Group)|Monster Egg Group]] featured most dinosaur-like Pokémon.

==Exceptions==
===Dragon turtle===
This case is not a true exception, but rather a Pokémon that simply '''doesn't belong to any of the above groups'''. It's {{p|Turtonator}}:
<gallery>
776Turtonator.png|{{p|Turtonator}}
</gallery>
Turtles usually belong to the [[Water 1 (Egg group)|Water 1 Egg Group]], with {{p|Drednaw}} confirming this trend as well. While the fire and volcanic motifs can be seen as reasons why the Water 1 Egg Group didn't suit Turtonator very well, they alone aren't a good reason for its inclusion in the Dragon Egg Group. A better reason is more likely to be found in the ''dragon turtle'', a turtle with the head of a dragon of Chinese myth. It's quite possible that Turtonator is inspired by said dragon turtle, as reflected by its {{type|Dragon}} as well.

===Lizards===
In the Japanese language, there is a distinction between dragons, known as either ''Doragon'' (「ドラゴン」) or ''Ryū'' (「竜」), and lizards, known as ''Tokage'' (トカゲ). Therefore, it might be surprising to see a few lizards in the Dragon Egg Group. As we'll see, for two of them we can see a reason to be in this group other than their "lizardness". To investigate it, it will be better to deal with each of them separately.

The first fully-evolved Pokémon in the Dragon Egg Group that only resembles a lizard and not one of the creatures listed before is {{p|Scrafty}}:
<gallery>
560Scrafty.png|{{p|Scrafty}}
</gallery>
This is also the only Pokémon for which I can't find a clear reason of being in this group. Effectively, at the moment its design inspirations aren't very clear as well, with only the mohawk suggesting a {{wp|punk subculture}} motif and the official developer interview naming ''low-worn baggy pants'' as the concept around which the evolution family was designed.<ref>[http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation of an interview with Game Freak developers published in volume 204 of ''Nintendo Dream''.]</ref>

Fortunately, for the next one a clearer reason can be found. It's the Pokémon {{p|Heliolisk}}:
<gallery>
695Heliolisk.png|{{p|Heliolisk}}
</gallery>
Its Japanese name, ''Elezard'', tells us that this Pokémon is based on a lizard, and effectively it resembles the {{wp|Chlamydosaurus|frilled-necked lizard}}. Since said species is known as ''frilled dragon'' as well, it's not surrpsing to see this lizard added to the Dragon Egg Group.

The last one has an interesting connection to dragons. It's {{p|Salazzle}}:
<gallery>
758Salazzle.png|{{p|Salazzle}}
</gallery>
Her Japanese name, ''Ennewt'', tells us that this Pokémon takes inspiration from newts, in particular the {{wp|fire belly newts}}. However, its category, ''Toxic Lizard Pokémon'', also tells us that this Pokémon is based on lizards. And indeed, this Pokémon has a few features in common with the {{wp|Mo'o}}, a dragon lizard of Hawaiian myth: the black-colored body, the female gender and the connection with fire, as the Mo'o appeared when fires were lit on altars. These elements in common with Mo'o can be seen as the reason why Salazzle was included in the Dragon Egg Group.

It is important to note that a few Pokémon related to lizards '''were not included in the Dragon Egg Group''', the most notable cases are the following:
<gallery>
352Kecleon.png|{{p|Kecleon}}
818Inteleon.png|{{p|Inteleon}}
</gallery>
The case of {{p|Inteleon}} is particularly interesting, as while based on a chameleon like {{p|Kecleon}}, it has a few features of {{wp|Draco (genus)|flying lizard}}s, most notably the membranes used to glide. Since flying lizards are known as flying dragons and their genus is known as ''Draco'', it might have seemed straightforward to add it to the Dragon Egg Group, but apparently the same rationale that kept Kecleon out of the that Egg Group was applied and Inteleon became part of the [[Field (Egg Group)|Field Egg Group]] instead. It has to be clarified yet if this is just due to chameleons not deemed to be similar enough to lizards or if being based on lizards is just not enough of a reason to be in the Dragon Egg Group.

===When the name means a lot? The bizarre case of Altaria===
The last Pokémon left to investigate is perhaps the most surprising. It's {{p|Altaria}}:
<gallery>
334Altaria.png|{{p|Altaria}}
</gallery>
While its appearance might be influenced by the mythical bird {{wp|Peng (mythology)|Peng}}, it isn't too farfecthed to consider this Pokémon a {{wp|Bluebird of happiness|bluebird (of happiness)}}. And effectively, its Japanese is ''Tyltalis'', which reminds ''Mytyl'' and ''Tyltyl'', the protagonists of ''{{wp|The Blue Bird (play)|L'Oiseau bleu}}'', a Belgian play about the Blue Bird of Happiness. Then why is this Pokémon Dragon type and part of the Dragon Egg Group? So far the only connection seems to be in the Japanese name: ''Tyl'' is a star also known as ''{{wp|Epsilon Draconis}}'', of the {{wp|Draco (constellation)|Draco constellation}}. Since the Pokémon has ''Tyl'' in the name, this can be seen as the reason why Altaria was related to dragons and thus given the Dragon type and included in the Dragon Egg Group. As an aside, the localization of its name in the West couldn't preserve this reference, making the relationship between Altaria and dragons quite puzzling for the people in the Western countries.

==Conclusions==
Considering how much I like many Pokémon that are in this group, trying to delve into the reasons of why certain Pokémon belonged to this group lead to many nice and surprising discoveries. And a few discoveries still have to be made, in particular regarding {{p|Scrafty}}. I hope the explanation of what I had discovered so far wasn't excessively boring and unclear, and apologize if it was.

'''Drayton''' (Japanese: '''カキツバタ''' ''Kakitsubata'') is a character introduced in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]. He is a student attending [[Blueberry Academy]], and a member of the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}} [[Elite Four]]. He uses {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.

==In the core series games==
Drayton has a friendly and laid-back personality. Although Drayton appears unserious, he is really skilled in battling. However, he also skips class often, apparently having to repeat a year three times as a result. Drayton comes from a prestigious family and is the grandson of [[Drayden]], the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Opelucid Gym]]. Through his grandfather, Drayton is acquainted with [[Hassel]] of [[Paldea]]'s Elite Four. He used to be the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}} {{pkmn|Champion}}, though he never formally referred to himself as one due to wanting to avoid the responsibilities of being the [[League Club Room|League Club]] president, which come with the title. He was eventually dethroned by [[Kieran]], lowering him to instead being the leading member of the BB League Elite Four, situated at [[Polar Plaza]].

Drayton first meets the player at [[Central Plaza]] after they've defeated [[Carmine]] and takes them to the [[League Club Room]], where he introduces them to the BB League. Later at the [[Blueberry Academy Cafeteria]], he suggests to Kieran and the other Elite Four members that the player should be allowed to enter the BB League. After a vote between the five ends in the player's favor, Drayton helps them register for the BB League. Each time an Elite Four member is defeated other then himself, Drayton comes by to congratulate the player. Drayton is also the only Elite Four member who does not require the player to pay [[Blueberry Point]]s to register for his Elite Trial, as he asks his receptionist to charge it to his account instead.

Drayton's Elite Trial forces the player to battle three {{tc|League Club}} members using only Pokémon that were caught in the [[Terarium]], which excludes any Pokémon caught in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s. After the trial has been cleared, Drayton can be battled. The player does not need to use these Terarium Pokémon during their battle with Drayton. He rewards the player with {{TM|226|Dragon Cheer}} upon being beaten.

After the player has defeated Kieran, Drayton gives them a [[Master Ball]], following which he, along with the player, Kieran, and Carmine, are invited to [[Briar]]'s classroom, where she requests that they join her on an expedition to [[Area Zero]]. While the rest accept the request, Drayton declines, claiming he needs to guide the League Club through the aftermath of Kieran's dethroning, but in reality is just feeling too lazy to travel all the way to [[Paldea]].

After the player has caught {{p|Terapagos}}, Drayton can be found in the League Club Room, where he offers to [[rematch]] the player once a day.

===Pokémon===
Drayton's {{p|Archaludon}} knows {{m|Dragon Pulse}} in the first battle and {{m|Draco Meteor}} when challenged at the [[League Club Room]]. Drayton will always send out Archaludon last and [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallize]] it at the first opportunity.

==Trivia==
* The pattern on Drayton's cape, which is worn as a waistcloth, resembles the symbol icon that represents the {{t|Dragon}} type in {{LGPE}}, [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], [[Pokémon HOME]], and [[Pokémon GO]].
* While not all of Drayton’s Pokémon are Dragon type, they all belong to the {{egg|Dragon}} [[Egg Group]].
* Drayton's Elite Trial and battle share similarities with [[Raihan]]'s Gym Challenge and Gym battle in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
** For the respective challenges prior to the {{DL|Appendix:Fan terminology|boss}} fights, the player faces three Trainers in [[Double Battle]]s who do not use Dragon types exclusively.
** Both Drayton and Raihan use a member of the {{p|Duraludon}} evolutionary line as their highest-level Pokémon.
** Both of their teams have multiple users of the move {{m|Breaking Swipe}}.
* Drayton is the only Elite Four member that is always present in the [[League Club Room]] in the post-game. This may allude to him never attending class.
* Drayton refers to meeting the player at the cafeteria as a "date", regardless of the player's gender.

Mister Wu: /* Biology */ I think we can expand a little on that, since it has become a main trait of Charizard despite the original lack of Fly

'''Charizard''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザードン''' ''Lizardon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

Charizard has three forms: '''Mega Charizard X''', '''Mega Charizard Y''', and '''Gigantamax Charizard'''. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Charizard X using the [[Charizardite X]] and Mega Charizard Y using the [[Charizardite Y]], and can [[Gigantamax]] into Gigantamax Charizard if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}.

Charizard is the [[game mascot]] of {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red}} and its [[remake]] {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed}}, appearing on the boxart of both games.

==Biology==
[[File:Charizard Glide VII OD.png|250px|thumb|left|Charizard Glide]]
Charizard is a {{wp|dragon|draconic}}, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is primarily orange with a cream underside from the chest to the tip of its tail. It has a long neck, small blue eyes, slightly raised nostrils, and two horn-like structures protruding from the back of its rectangular head. There are two fangs visible in its upper jaw when its mouth is closed. Two large wings with blue-green undersides sprout from its back, and a horn-like appendage juts out from the top of the third joint of each wing. A single wing-finger is visible through the center of each wing membrane. Charizard's arms are short and skinny compared to its robust belly, and each limb has three white claws. It has stocky legs with cream-colored soles on each of its {{wp|plantigrade}} feet. The tip of its long, tapering tail burns with a sizable flame, which can intensify to a blue flame if Charizard is irritated.

Charizard flies in search of powerful opponents to battle, and its fire will burn hotter as it gains experience. Its fiery breath is capable of melting boulders and massive glaciers, and has been known to accidentally cause forest fires. Though its fiery breath is hot, it never turns it on any opponent weaker than itself. Charizard typically inhabits {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains and valleys}}, such as the [[Charicific Valley]] in [[Johto]]. [[EP134|The anime]] has shown that only a weak Charizard would show off its power. [[HS17|It also showed]] that Charizard can swim underwater, with [[Pokémon Origins]] further showing that the flame on the tip of the tail can still keep burning underwater. Charizard's wings can carry it to an altitude of 4,600 feet (1,400 meters). Charizard lives in herds with {{p|Charmander}}.

Even though Charizard originally couldn’t learn the move {{m|Fly}}, trainers have been shown riding Charizard in official artwork dating back to the original [[Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cards|Carddass Trading Cards]] of the year 1997. {{Ash}} himself was shown riding his Charizard already in the [[S02|second season]] of the [[Original series]] of the [[Pokémon anime|anime]]. Eventually, in [[Pokémon Yellow Version]] Charizard became able to learn Fly and has since been frequently depicted as a Pokémon able to carry people on its back to fly them to distant areas. In [[Alola]], Charizard is used a [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] called Charizard Glide, the natives used Charizard to fly around the region or make deliveries.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Charizard X Mega Charizard Y artwork.png|thumb|250px|Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y.]]
Charizard has three alternate forms: Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, and [[Gigantamax]] Charizard.

Both of Charizard's [[Mega Evolution]]s feature a shorter snout, white, vertical slit pupils, and a bright underside reaching the lower jaw.

;Mega Charizard X
As Mega Charizard X, its body and legs are more physically fit, though its arms remain thin. Its skin turns black with a sky-blue underside and soles. Two spikes with blue tips curve upward from the front and back of each shoulder, while the tips of its horns sharpen, turn blue, and curve slightly upward. Its brow and claws are larger, and its eyes are now red. It has two small, fin-like spikes under each horn and two more down its lower neck. The finger disappears from the wing membrane, and the lower edges are divided into large, rounded points. The third joint of each wing-arm is adorned with a claw-like spike. Mega Charizard X breathes blue flames out the sides of its mouth, and the flame on its tail now burns blue consistently. It is said that its new power turns it black and creates more intense flames.

;Mega Charizard Y
As Mega Charizard Y, it becomes sleeker in appearance but retains its normal coloration. It has three pointed horns on the back of its head, the middle of which is longer. Its snout has larger fangs and a ridge on the nose. Its neck is shorter, but its torso is thinner and longer. It features longer {{wp|digitigrade}} feet. Its hands are less developed, with extremely shortened fingers that are no longer separated from each other. Small wings develop on its wrists, while the ones on its back become larger, lose the wing finger passing through their membrane and end up with ragged edges. The back of its tail has a large spike at the base and three smaller ones near the tip, which now burns with a longer flame. Mega Charizard Y is said to have incredible flying prowess that is greater than a jet fighter.

;Gigantamax
[[File:Leon Charizard G-Max Wildfire.png|thumb|220px|Gigantamax Charizard's wingless body]]
As Gigantamax Charizard, it becomes larger and more physically fit. The lower part of its body glows white with several yellow diamonds located on the lower belly. There are also diamond-shaped spots located on the front legs. The claws located on its hands and feet become longer and sharper. The feet become longer and digitigrade, retaining small glowing soles under the forefeet. The sclerae of the eyes become yellow. The glow of a flame can be seen in the mouth, and the teeth grow, with the lower front teeth and three teeth in the middle now protruding when the mouth is closed. The flame on the tail extends out and has three red clouds surrounding it, like the clouds most other Gigantamax Pokémon have. Two flames sprout from its horns, and its wings are transformed into literal flame wings extending to the shoulder blade. These colossal flamed wings were created from the energy of Gigantamaxing, and are hotter than magma; Gigantamax Charizard uses these flames to burn its opponents.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-charizard/ Gigantamax Charizard | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> The flames within Gigantamax Charizard burn hotter than 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit (2,000 degrees Celsius), and increase in temperature when it roars.

Gigantamax Charizard is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Charizard (TCG)}}
Charizard's [[Charizard (Base Set 4)|first-released TCG card]], which as part of the {{TCG|Base Set}}, was widely regarded at the height of popularity of Pokémon as the best card ever. This was because of its powerful attack, Fire Spin, and useful Pokémon Power, Energy Burn, which allowed it to convert any Energy attached to it to {{TCG|Fire}} Energy. {{m|Fire Spin}} needed four Fire Energy and could deal 100 damage, knocking out the majority of Pokémon cards. In addition, it had the highest HP then, at 120. Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150. First edition cards of this dwarfed this price at one point breaking the $1000 US price point. This Charizard card was reprinted in [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} sets, and released again with updated artwork in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion.

* In the [[Pokémon of the Year]] poll held by [[The Pokémon Company]] in 2020, Charizard was voted the most popular [[Generation I]] Pokémon, receiving 93,968 votes. It was also the fourth-most popular Pokémon overall.
* The current design of a {{Shiny}} Charizard was first seen in an official art from 2001, between the releases of {{game|Crystal}} and {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
* Charizard appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. It behaves like the bishop piece in chess, but can also move one square backwards.
* ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' is the only anime series to not feature a Charizard in any capacity.
* In [[Generation IX]], Charizard is unable to learn both {{m|Metal Claw}} and {{m|False Swipe}} via [[TM]], while its pre-evolutions can learn False Swipe and Charmander can learn Metal Claw.
* Charizard is the first Pokémon species in the anime to use all major battle gimmicks as of Generation IX, doing so by Mega Evolving in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', using a [[Z-Move]] in ''[[SM107|Run, Heroes, Run!]]'', [[Gigantamax]]ing in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', and {{Tera}}stallizing in [[HZ014]].

===Origin===
Charizard may be based on {{wp|European dragon}}s, which are heavily associated with the element of fire in {{wp|European folklore}}; this draconic appearance would later be reflected in the {{2t|Fire|Dragon}} typing of Mega Charizard X. Like its pre-evolved forms, it may also take inspiration from lizards, dinosaurs, and the mythical {{wp|Salamanders in folklore|salamander}}. Its English and Japanese nomenclature may be a reference to how Western dragons are heavily inspired by lizards and other reptiles.

====Name origin====
Charizard may be a combination of ''char'' (to burn) and ''lizard''.

Lizardon may be a combination of ''lizard'' and either ''dragon'' or ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

== Real definition for psuedo-legendary ==

Isn't it a BST of 600? [[User:The Placebo Effect|The Placebo Effect]] 13:12, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

== Pseudo-legendary --> Powerhouse ==

It seems to me that everyone who commented on this page, other than Shiny Noctowl, was dumbfounded as to the article's title and definition therein. For pages dealing with fanon terminology, this is a good sign that something has been done '''wrong'''; fanon terms are ''necessarily'' known to a large number of fans, as opposed to a select few, or in this case - no more than one.

Furthemore, the page (prior to my editing it) included mentions of Pokémon with legendary characteristics, despite their having nothing to do with the suggested definiton of pseudo-legendary. It was also a mere copy-and-paste of the corresponding section on the [[Legendary]] page. Now, as for the definition itself, it should be crystal-clear that the powerhouses, as defined by myself, are ''distinct'' in their categorization from any other Pokémon ({{p|Flygon}}, for the sake of discussion). Simply put, they are non-legendary Pokémon whose total base stats is 600, which is a great deal higher than Flygon's 520 (see the trivia paragraph for clarification on {{p|Slaking}}). Besides, what makes Flygon any more special than {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Walrein}} and the 7 fully-evolved, two-typed starters? All of these match the definition used by Shiny Noctowl. I do hope that competitive usage is not the reason, because {{p|Swampert}} and {{p|Infernape}} clearly outweigh Flygon in that regard.

It amazes me that everyone assumed that the definition was acceptable simply because someone had put it forth. Bulbapedia encourages critical thinking and sets virtually no limits on the users' capacity to edit existing pages. Why was I the only one who had the fortitude to replace the previous definition with one that is actually used by the fandom? --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 16:47, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
:Mudkipchan apparently heard pseudo-legendary on Smogon, and I've heard pseudo-legendary on several websites, so I think it should be moved back. I agree, though, that the definition needed some work. But why remove Flygon? Its stats are slightly lower, but base stats shouldn't be included in the definition. Other than base stats, Flygon is in every way a pseudo-legendary. [[User:Shiny Noctowl|S<big>h</big>i<big>n</big>y]] [[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|<big>N</big>o<big>c</big>t<big>o</big>w<big>l</big>]]  13:57, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

::You can see my comments on the article's name further below. Now, the explanation for my excluding Flygon should be quite obvious from the pieces of trivia; Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross and Garchomp have more in common than what you listed in your definition, and in fact, they have more in common than just my addition to that definition (a total base stats of 600). Flygon does not share that common denominator; what it does share with the aforementioned five is also shared by ''at the very least'' Walrein and Aggron, who are part of a three-stage line, have two types, require nearly as much experience to reach their form, and have an even higher total of base stats (530). If the only reason for which you included Flygon but excluded those two is that you thought only Flygon was available strictly in its first form, then you thought wrong: In Generation III Sealeo and Walrein are also not available in the wild; in Generation IV both Vibrava and Sealeo are available (incidentally, Lairon is not).

::But all of that is irrelevant, since neither Flygon nor Walrein (nor Aggron, for that matter) has enough in common with the powerhouses/pseudo-legendaries so as to be added to the group. It is enough to require a total base stats of 600 to limit the group to the five relevant ones (a respectable addition in and of itself), but again, their common denominator is even greater than that. Look at the trivia and see it for yourself. --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 13:55, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Shiny, Pseudo-Legendary makes more sense. I.E. My Snorlax is a powerhouse, but it isn't a pseudo-legendary. My Flygon is not my powerhouse, yet it is a pseudo-legendary. Catch my drift? [[User:Midnight Celtic|Midnight Celtic]] 15:28, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
:Psudo legendary should be used. But the only pokemon that should meet this criteria are those 3 stage evos with a base stat of 600. Slaking is questionable, but I would say no to it, as well as flygon. [[User:The Placebo Effect|The Placebo Effect]] 01:08, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

What's the point in a defenition if it doesn't explain clearly the subject? [[User:GlinnMgraw|Glinn]] 03:44, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

absolutly, my old car was nicknamed "the powerhouse" but it was definatly not a pokemon! that being said, "powerhouse" is a general term, it sounds more like a metagame term than a true definition. i could load a powerful pokemon with powerful attacks, and ive got a powerhouse, but a psuedo-legendary means its special in some way, and what you are trying to appeal here is to somone whos never jheard the term before, and they will almost understand what psuedo-legendary just by the sound, where as a powerhouse requires an explanation. '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 04:00, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

However, I would like to point out the irony in the statement that powerhouse is too broad a term spanning just about every overused Pokémon - the same can be said of pseudo-legendary, as evidenced by the fact that this article originally contained a separate list of Pokémon with legendary characteristics!

::Furthermore, I personally feel that ''pseudo-legendary'' should be used to describe only two Pokémon that are not even mentioned in the article: {{p|Unown}} and {{p|Phione}}. ''Legendary'' alludes to mystery and nature or universe-controlling abilities; this article deals with battle prowess, for which legendaries are certainly well known, but it takes second place to their aura. Besides, some legendaries are not as battle-competent as the pseudo-legendaries/powerhouses in the article - practically all tweleve members of the legendary trios, and arguably some others. This comparison holds in base stats (the legendary trio all have a total of 580, which is lower than 600), but even an in-depth comparison on a competitive level leads to the same conclusion, at least generally. Therefore, is it justified to attach the name ''pseudo-legendary'' to a definition that highlights the battle prowess of Pokémon that are actually stronger than some legendaries? On the other hand, Unown and Phione are indeed pseudo-legendary if the term is taken to mean a Pokémon whose aura is associated with a true legendary ({{p|Suicune}} in Unown's case and {{p|Manaphy}} in Phione's).

::But I digress, as I do agree that if ''pseudo-legendary'' is more frequently used by the fandom to describe the group in question, then it should be used for the purposes of discussing a fanon term.

::One last thing - I appreciate Politoed666's token of solidarity. I don't mind reversions to my own edits, especially when done by another sysop, but it isn't my idea of showing respect; it would have been better to wait a bit longer in case I had arguments to present. I only wonder why the same level of urgency was not taken to revise the contents of the article in its original format, when it obviously needed re-working. --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 13:55, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree with certain points made by Unown Lord. Perhaps the overall issue with the term "pseudo-legendary" is the usage of "legendary." There are Pokémon that are "legendary" which do have certain exclusive characteristics, and applying the term to another group has its drawbacks. While the term may certain have specific applications to the pseudo-legendary Pokémon it is difficult to draw a completely defined line, contrary to the case with legendary Pokémon. The debate over which Pokémon "qualify" has no feasible ending point, as fans will always stick to their opinion concerning which ones "deserve" to be included. Sure, we have limits on Bulbapedia but in spite of this fact, there is still such an issue, as we can see from this very page. Honestly, I have no problem with the term, despite how vague it is and the supposed difficulty adhering to its guidelines. My wife on the other hand, disagrees with its usage for many of the reasons I mention. [[User:Deviant Audio|Deviant Audio]] 16:01, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

== 600 stat point total a requirement? ==

Doesn't that seem a little subjective? I mean sure they all have that but that doesn't mean a future Pokemon of similar psuedo-legend status will have that total. Plus with these Pokemon it could just be coincidence they all have 600. Having 600 total might have been how it happened for all of them, but I just don't seem it as a ''requirement'' per se. Just that that's how it happened. Toastypk 03:34, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
:Not really. The psuedo-legends were most likely designed so that their stats WOULD total 600. The only likely exception would be Dragonite due to Special Attack/Defence being a single stat in Generation 1, but it was probably reworked to total 600 in Generation 2. It's hardly likely to be coincedence that their base stats all total 600. - [[User:Nebula|Nebula]] 16:54, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

== Available only as their first form. ==

The article states that "Most pseudo-legendaries are obtainable in the wild strictly in their first form. However, Dragonair is also obtainable in the wild in most games where Dratini is (all but Pokémon Red, Green and Blue). Likewise, Pupitar is available in the wild in Crystal. Gabite is found in Victory Road in Platinum."

However, with the addition of Platinum, Gabite can be found in the wild. This means that no, only 2 out of the 5 of them are only found in their first form in the wild. I honestly don't think that something like that should be included in the article, since when was 2 out of 5 "most", or even noteworthy? You could say that all 5 of them have the colour blue on them somewhere, but is that noteworthy?

Obviously, all the pseudos that currently exist have two types (and we should mention that fact, don't get me wrong), but wouldn't we just adjust our definition if they (hypothetically) introduced a monotype pseudo in the sixth generation? I don't think we should "define" a pseudo as having two types; nor should we list that as one of the reasons Slaking isn't. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 17:25, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

== Ulgamoth ==

This may be shot down, but SURELY Ulgamoth is a pseudo-legendary. It may lack the Base Stats and Second Evolution, but it's clearly intended to be in the same tier. Its final evolution receives the EV yield of a Third-Stage pokemon, it comes right after Sazandorah, just like how Salamence and Metagross are placed next to each other (Garchomp was separated from legendaries by Evolutions from previous gens). It has significant mythology connected to it, and is obtained in peculiar ways, one of which is fashioned like a Legendary Encounter. It evolves at a ridiculously high level. Hell, the concept itself is that of something that would have a cocoon stage, but missed out on it somehow. The 550 Base Stat is peculiar, but surely can be put down to it having Butterfly Dance, an obscenely powerful move. Pretty much everything points it to being a counterpart with Sazandorah as the two pseudo-legendaries of Generation 5. [[User:N-Denizen|N-Denizen]] 23:30, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

:::I would like to disagree with everyone that opposes Volcarona as a Pseudo-Legendary. Just have a look at nearly every other Bug type that came before it for instance, and you'll notice that ALL tend to have stats below 400 or very rarely reaching 500 or higher. In nearly all games before B/W it was almost like a rule or some sort, or a tradition. Perhaps Volcarona lives up to this tradition even with B/W's upgrade to Bug types. As a Bug type, it would not be able to have as high of stats as other types if it followed this old tradition, so that would explain Volcarona's BST of 550 instead of 600. Another possible explaination is probably just an excuse to make it have a lower BST than Genesect. The big seal to all this is that Alder uses Volcarona as his main Pokemon. Why would it be used as his main if it wasn't a Pseudo-Legendary? Why just have something random instead of a Psuedo-legendary or even a Legendary? It all starts to make sense when you think about it. Volcarona, though having a lower BST than the other Pseudo-Legends, still has the exact same kind of power you'd expect from one due to it's gargantuan stats compared to other Bug types. Even Genesect feels very weak in comparison to Volcarona, as well as giving Tyranitar and Metagross something to fear and respect at the same time. So the point of all of this is, it would seem reasonable to accept Volcarona as a Pseudo-Legend due to past treatment of Bug types in general. Besides, doesn't it seem more like a fan idea to have them required to have a BST of 600 and be a 3 stage line? What if GF has their own requirements to the idea and simply design them as they please? For a Bug type to fill this role, all of this would make alot of sense. Why simply believe a Pseudo-Legend requires those things only because of past tradition from Gen I-IV? Wouldn't it be fair for a Bug type Pseudo-Legend to exist yet still follow the tradition of Bug types having lower Base stats than others? [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 20:36, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
::::Pseudo-legendary is a fan term, so fans determine the requirements. It is based on a pattern we as fans have detected in each generation? Being "strong" has nothing to do with being pseudo-legendary (other than that pseudo-legendary requires a 600 BST). Champion usage does not make something pseudo-legendary, even if it is their primary Pokémon. Alder doesn't use a legendary Pokémon because they are restricted to battle facility Trainers and storyline events. They did not fit it into their previous pattern. Anything that breaks the mold is not bending the pattern, but rejecting it. What does Volcarona have in common with actual pseudo-legendary Pokémon? If we let Volcarona in, then the definition of pseudo-legendary becomes "has two types, needs 1,250,000 exp to get to level 100". Now, if you look at {{cat|Pokémon in the Slow experience group|this list of Pokémon in that experience group}} and pick out all the dual typed Pokémon, excluding legendary Pokémon, you can see just how many there are. To name a few, {{p|Abomasnow}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Sharpedo}}, {{p|Lanturn}}.

:::::Now you're being just biased about all this. Why do they all need BSTs of 600? Can't Volcarona be the exception due to it's Bug typing? Even if Dual typed and Slow exp group were the only requirements now, it would all still be the same, since Volcarona would be the only Pseudo-Legend that doesn't fill the previous 600 BST requirement. All you seem to be trying to do is sticking too much to tradition, because honestly, I thought you'd stick with the 1st to 4th gen's Pseudo-Legend tradition of Attack being the highest stat when it was revealed Hydreigon's highest was Special Attack instead. Due to that, I thought everybody would be biased with even it due to favoring Special Attack instead. Volcarona, when compared to Aggron of Flygon, makes far more sense as a Pseudo-Legendary. Honestly, I think of Pseudo-Legendaries having the highest BST of all non-legendaries out of one of their types. Dragonite, Salamence, Garchomp, and Hydreigon have the highest Base Stat total of all non-legendary Dragon types, Tyranitar has the highest of all Non-legendary Rock types, and the highest for Dark types along with Hydreigon. Metagross has the highest out of all Non-legendary Steel and Psychic types. Volcarona has the highest of all Non-legendary Bug types. It all makes sense when you consider how a Pseudo-Legendary could be designed with that in mind. [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 21:56, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

== Slaking ==

I am aware that an argument has already been brought up to add Slaking to the list. I think it should be added, for the following reasons. From what I understand, the definition here of a Pseudo-Legendary is (a) it can't be legendary. (b) It must evolve twice. It is not part of the definition that all of them must be dual typed, nor that they must have an immunity. This is simply a trait that all of the current members of the list happen to share. The third part of the current definition is that all of them must have exactly 600 BST. This is the part I don't understand. I can understand why it would be nice to have a requirement for at least 600, but why does it have to be exact? This brings us to Slaking. It has the highest base stats of any non-legendary. It evolves twice. Why should it be denied the position of being pseudo-legendary for being too powerful? Pseudo-legendary means "resembling a legendary", and legendaries are supposed to be powerful. There are 16 legendaries with a BST over 600, and 11 even higher than Slaking's. In terms of its lack of a second type, 22 out of 47 legendaries are single-typed. Slaking's lack of a second type definitely should not exclude it from being a pseudo-legendary. [[User:Tk3141|Tk3141]] 22:19, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
:''Slaking, though not pseudo-legendary, has the highest base stats of all non-legendary Pokémon and one immunity, to the Ghost-type. However, it lacks some factors: a base-stat total of 600 and a secondary type. Slaking is also hindered by its ability, Truant, which is likely the reason for its high stats. '' From this page. However I would say the biggest reason it is not on here is because Truant truly cripples any astounding power it has. The only time to experience its true full potential is in a double battle with a Pokemon that uses Skill Swap on it so it can attack every turn rather than half the turns. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 22:24, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
::As I mentioned above, however, I don't think that a secondary type or an exact BST should be part of the definition.

== So seriously, what's the definition? ==

As I pointed out above (and nearly no one responded), if the sixth gen introduces a non-legendary Pokemon with a 600 BST with only one type will we say that it's not pseudolegendary, or will we just change the definition of what a psuedolegendary is? Why is having two types or a specific level-up curve considered a ''necessary condition'' to being a pseudolegendary rather than just a trait all of the current ones happen to have? Indeed, given that you can completely remove either restriction or both of them and not change the list of pseudolegendary Pokemon ''at all'' (you can't do so with the 600 BST or the fact that they come from evolutionary families), I'd say Occam's Razor would slice away those unnecessary conditions. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 07:09, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
: PS. I'd like to point out that the opening paragraph used to mention that all pseudos had Attack as their highest stat, though it wisely did not include that as a part of the definition of what makes a pseudo a pseudo. [[Hydreigon|Now it doesn't say that any more.]] Just sayin'. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 07:26, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
::The pseudolegendaries are variations on a theme. The dual types and stats are part of that theme. Single type would suggest that there's an underlying difference. Experience group makes them hard to raise, suggesting that they're all very similar. Like PP of moves, experience group is an indicator of the similarity of Pokemon. If Nintendo feel the need to make it a lower experience group, that makes it easier to raise, suggesting that there are underlying differences - the Pokemon are not considered equal.

:::I can't say I agree. We can say that the two types and the level-up curve are traits they all have, at present, but how is it part of the definition? If you remove those restrictions, the number of pseudolegendary Pokemon remains six, so those restrictions aren't helping with the definition and just unnecessarily restrict possible future psuedolegendaries. I was asked to provide a source that they're not necessary. Where's the source that they are? I mean, let's say, totally hypothetically, that one made a page called "Pikachu Clones" back in the fourth gen, discussing Pokemon such as Pichu, Plusle, Minun, and Pachirisu. (The usefulness of such a page isn't the point; let's just say that one existed.) At the time, they decided to define the Pokemon as "Cute mono-Electric-type Pokemon that have a resemblence to Pikachu. Aside from Pichu and Pikachu, none of the Pikachu clones evolve." Are you to say that, when the fifth gen came out, this hypothetical page would have been wrong to alter its definition and include Emolga? If so, why? And if not, then why did the definition need to include the "mono-" part of it at all if it's unnecessarily limiting and so easily discarded? --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 20:57, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
::::I personally don't think having two types should be part of the definition; I don't see a pure Dragon-type pseudo legendary Pokemon being that unlikely.

:::::No, I still stand against it. I'm being treated like I'm trying to redefine which Pokemon are pseudolegendary, and, yes, I do see that others have tried. But I'm not. Removing these two restrictions does nothing. It's Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, and Hydreigon now. It'll be Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, and Hydreigon if you remove those restrictions.
:::::Who made the call that they're necessary to the definition? I've been asked to source that they're not. Why must I prove the negative? It's the positive case that requires proof! Should I add a [citation needed] to the definition?

:::::The "three-stage evolutionary family" thing comes off to me as a roundabout way of saying "not legendary", but I'm fine with it since legendary status can be arguable (the Legendary page on this very wiki is unsure on Phione, and even though I strongly disagree, I've even seen modern fans try to argue Rotom's legendary status.) And without it, Jirachi and Landorus are brought into the list of "pseudolegendaries", so obviously that restriction is necessary, regardless of the wording.
:::::But why type combos? Why experience groups? Removing them changes what? Is there a 600-BST three-stage mono-type family in the medium-slow group that is clearly not pseudolegendary I'm somehow unfamiliar with? (Well, Slaking has a 6'''7'''0 BST and three stages and is a monotype, though he is in the Slow group, but... Truant is all it takes to convince me he's not a proper pseudolegendary. And he's the closest there is, besides the obvious six!)
:::::As I said, if you were to put on the side (in Trivia or something) that all of them, at present, are dualtypes in the Slow experience group, you wouldn't see me argue - it's true, after all.

Knowing the fandom—who tried and push Volcarona and Haxorus into being pseudo-legendary—there will certainly be many people who think it should be. However, it won't truly be one. I don't see that ever happening though, as experience group is part of the pattern.

:"This is likely why Metagross is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon not to be used by Lance in any game, as he prefers Dragon-type and '''draconian''' Pokémon."

The correct word is ''draconic''; the word 'draconian' means '[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/draconian severely harsh or strict]'.

And under Garchomp's section:

:"It '''compliments''' these attributes with '''it's''' Ground typing,"

Wrong 'its', no apostrophe required. And it should probably use compl'''e'''ment instead of compl'''i'''ment.

== Pokémon Pages ==
I'm bringing this up here because it seems silly to go to each individual page to say it...
Should the Pokémon's actual pages really say that they're "pseudo-legendary Pokémon" up at the top? I mean, by definition it is a '''fan term''', so I don't think it belongs there with their typing and evolutionary patterns. Maybe in their trivia sections, but not there. It looks very unprofessional to stick a fan-term at the top of the pages of these Pokémon, otherwise you might as well change Snivy's opening text to "Snivy (fannon: Smugleaf)". It's just as ridiculous. [[User:Me, Hurray!|Me, Hurray!]] ([[User talk:Me, Hurray!|talk]]) 14:11, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
Actually, a better comparison would be changing all of Eevee's evolutionary family pages to say "X is a Y-type Eeveelution". What I'm saying is, I don't think fan terminology belongs there. [[User:Me, Hurray!|Me, Hurray!]] ([[User talk:Me, Hurray!|talk]]) 14:14, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Pseudo-legendary is a fanmade term, and the definition of pseudo-legendary varies from fan to fan.

== Edit request for definition of "pseudo-legendary" ==

"'''Pseudo-legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|擬似伝説|ぎじでんせつ}}''' ''pseudo-legendary'') is a fan term commonly used to refer to any Pokémon that has a three-stage [[evolution]] line, [[Experience#Slow|1,250,000 experience at level 100]], and a [[base stats|base stat]] total of exactly {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 600|600}}. The term originates from the prefix ''pseudo-'', which means "false". Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are often more powerful than many other non-[[Legendary Pokémon]] due to their high base stats.

Other variations of the definition omit the need to have 1,250,000 experience at level 100."

should become

"'''Pseudo-legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|擬似伝説|ぎじでんせつ}}''' ''pseudo-legendary'') is a fan term commonly used to refer to any [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] that is not in the [[Undiscovered (Egg Group)|Undiscovered Egg Group]] and has a [[base stats|base stat]] total of exactly {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 600|600}}. Currently, all pseudo-legendary Pokémon have exactly two [[evolution|pre-evolutions]] which can only evolve by leveling up past a certain [[level]] and [[Experience#Slow|1,250,000 experience at level 100]]. The term originates from the prefix ''pseudo-'', which means "false". Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are often more powerful than many other non-[[Legendary Pokémon]] due to their high base stats."

The BST of 600 matters because anything less would make it less "legendary". Legendary Pokemon are set apart by their lack of evolutionary relatives, inability to breed, and high stats. As long as a Pokemon meets the latter requirement and not the former two, wouldn't it make sense for it to be a pseudo-legendary Pokemon?

:It's fine as it is.
:No, it's not okay for it to only have "high stats". Psuedo-legendaries were ''originally'' (strong) Pokemon who came between ''legitimate'' Legendary Pokemon in the Pokedex but were not Legendaries themselves. The definition of "psuedo-legendary" is molded to conform to the strong pattern that those Pokemon showed: three stages, BST 600, slow experience.

== New Evidence! ==

I play Pokemon Black 2. I noted that whenever I send out a Legendary that lands on the ground (like the 3 musketeers and Zekrom), there is a shimmer effect after they land. This seems to show that this Pokemon is a legendary. However, there are other Pokemon who have this shimmer effect as they land, too.

Examples include Tyranitar, Crustle, Arcanine, Onix, Steelix, Dragonite, Graveler, Golem, Milotic, Emboar, Metagross, Beartic, and Mamoswine.

Could these Pokemon and others in fact have a classification as "Legendary"? Are they just some of the strongest Pokemon, or are they all just heavy? {{unsigned|Reshiespeon}}

== "For one reason or another..." ==

In the Trivia section at the bottom of the page, five pokemon commonly mistaken for pseudo-legendaries are listed, followed by the sentence "For one reason or another, these Pokémon do not fit the criteria of those above and so are not pseudo-legendary Pokémon."

While this is correct, it would perhaps be more helpful to mention that it is because none of them have a base stat total of 600. It could also, perhaps, be mentioned that Slaking has a higher base stat total than 600, but the criteria require exactly 600 (and perhaps also mention Truant as rationale for not including Slaking anyway--but that's probably too in-depth for a trivia section).

To clarify, I am suggesting, at least, changing "For one reason or another, these Pokémon do not fit the criteria of those above and so are not pseudo-legendary Pokémon." to "None of these Pokémon have the requisite base stat total of 600 to be considered pseudo-legendary." [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 18:09, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

== Requirements to be a pseudo-legendary ==

I am not sure where, exactly, the definition of pseudo-legendary came from, but it strikes me that two of the three criteria given to class a Pokémon as pseudo-legendary are redundant: the pseudo-legendaries are exactly those Pokémon which are not actually legendary or mega-evolutions and have a base stat total of six hundred. No Pokémon besides the eight listed pseudo-legendaries meets this criterion, and so the requirement of a three-stage evolution line and 1250000 experience at level 100 seem redundant to me. I don't know if these redundant criteria should be removed and simply mentioned as common traits all current ones share, or if there is some good reason to keep them.

Note also that the requirements given already, without specifying that mega evolutions don't count as pseudo-legendaries, would make Mega Alakazam and Mega Gengar be pseudo-legendaries. Alternatively, if mega evolution counts as an evolution stage for the "has a three-stage evolution line" requirement, Mega Scizor and Mega Houndour count as pseudo-legendaries. At the very least, "is not a mega evolution" should be added to the criteria.

== ''The term originates from the prefix pseudo-, which means "false".'' ==

Why does the lead of this article go out of its way to explain a common English word? I mean, I know Pokemon is targeted at children, and young children may not be familiar with ''pseudo-'', but isn't its meaning obvious from context anyway?

I think it would be best to just remove this sentence, but if not then it should be combined with the following sentence to read something like

''The term combines the prefix ''pseudo-'', which means "false", with ''[[Legendary Pokémon]]'', due to their being more powerful than most other non-Legendary Pokémon and therefore being considered closer to Legendary Pokémon.''

This would eliminate the inaccurate use of "originate" to give the actual etymology. The term doesn't originate from the prefix ''pseudo-''; it originates as a combination of ''pseudo-'' with ''Legendary Pokémon'', <del>and the use of a Japanese term in the first sentence implies it actually originates as a translation from Japanese</del>. (If anyone wants to know why I'm being so pedantic about the meanings of words, it's because I can't edit the page directly and need to be extremely specific about my thinking so that if someone proxies for me they know exactly what they are doing.)

:::I know Goodra doesn't always have one due to being entirely dependant on the ability Sap Sipper which it doesn't always have but I saw it as with the case of Kommo-o, its Dragon/Fighting typing doesn't grant it any immunities under any circumstances which I thought that the sentence was telling me.

== BST of pre-evolutions ==

The article should say that every pseudo-legendary evolves from something whose BST is 300. I know I already posted this before, but it's been much longer than 6 months, and I still care about this edit. [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]], [[Special:Contributions/Sumwun|contribs]]) 15:41, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
:Sword and Shield are not out yet, but I would like to point out that in the wake of recent data dumps surrounding new Pokemon, this statement no longer holds true as Generation VIII's pseudo-legendary's base form has a BST of 270. I will not disclose its name, but the new pseudo-legendary line of Sword and Shield has broken this trend. --[[User:ScraftyIsTheBest|ScraftyIsTheBest]] ([[User talk:ScraftyIsTheBest|talk]]) 03:08, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

== Dragapult ==

I know the staff are likely incredibly busy and this isn't top priority at the moment, however, with all the Pokemon's stats and data out, I believe it is well established by now that Dragapult is the Generation VIII pseudo-legendary. Based on all the data surrounding it, everything lines up:

- Dragapult's BST is 600

- It is part of a three-stage evolutionary line

- The entire line has a catch rate of 45 (Dreepy, Drakloak, and Dragapult all have a catch rate of 45)

- It is in the Slow EXP group

- It requires 40 egg cycles to hatch a Dreepy

Just bringing this up for staff to assess. I won't push anyone to get this updated immediately, but bringing this up and if anyone in the staff has objections based on assessment, feel free to discuss them. But just bringing Dragapult up because I believe it is very much the pseudo-legendary of the new generation based on thorough assessment of it. -[[User:ScraftyIsTheBest|ScraftyIsTheBest]] ([[User talk:ScraftyIsTheBest|talk]]) 23:43, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
:Would like to potentially provide templates and whatnot for the page if/when Dragapult gets added to the page, just for ease:

As for users, Dragapult is used by Leon, who is the Champion in Sword and Shield.

Because of Gen VIII introducing the next pseudo-legendary Pokémon, some of the facts need to be updated.
*First, Dragapult is now the tallest pseudo-legendary Pokémon with a height of 9'10", not Dragonite or Tyranitar.
*Second, Dragapult now has the lowest base Special Defense with 75, not Salamence with 80.
*Third, Dragapult is now the pseudo-legendary Pokémon with the highest base Speed stat, not Garchomp with 102.
*Fourth, Dragapult is now the lightest pseudo-legendary Pokémon with 110.2 lbs., not Kommo-o with 172.4 lbs.
So it would be great if someone could update them. --[[User:TotallyTob|'''T'''otally'''T'''ob]] 03:17, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
:I've updated the trivia accordingly. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:17, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

== Outdated information ==

In the lede, the article states that "Some fans omit the need to have 1,250,000 experience at level 100 from their definition, although this has no effect on the Pokémon that are in the group."

It's no longer true that this doesn't affect group membership, since [[Alakazam (Pokémon)#Generation_VII|Alakazam]] has a three-stage evolutionary line and as of gen VII has a base stat total of 600; the only thing keeping it out of the pseudolegendaries by the definition this article presents is that it's in the medium-slow experience group instead of the slow one.

--[[User:Felthry|Felthry]] ([[User talk:Felthry|talk]]) 17:15, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
:Effectively, the fact that the first official acknowledgement of this group we know about was in a line of merchandise named ''Late Bloomers'' suggests that the main traits of this group, beside the high power due to the 600 base stats total, are the slow leveling up and late evolution.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 18:20, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

== Base Stat Averages (Update) ==
The BST averages are a bit out of date as they don't account for Dragapult now having joined the pattern. They should be updated to

 HP: 91 
 Attack: 122.56 
 Defense: 96.67 
 Special Attack: 101.67 
 Special Defense: 97.22 
 Speed: 90.89 

Side note: Since there's a brief description of every pseudo-legendary, for Dragapult, it would be worth noting that its stat spread heavily emphasizes speed (it's extremely fast) and solid offensive stats to back it up, while being frailer than the others. -[[User:ScraftyIsTheBest|ScraftyIsTheBest]] ([[User talk:ScraftyIsTheBest|talk]]) 02:33, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

== Pseudo-pseudo-legendary Pokemon ==

Pokemon that have a high base stat total that's close to, but not 600, and are evolved into at a level over 40, for example [[Flygon]], [[Haxorus]], [[Volcarona]], and [[Aggron]], should be called pseudo-pseudo-legendary. {{unsigned|GlowstoneLove}}
:That's not really a common fan term at all, let alone enough to warrant a mention... Besides, there wouldn't be any concrete "rules" for what would constitute that; the only defining characteristic between those is basically "undefinedly high BST". --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 22:36, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

== Descriptions for each of the pseudo-legendaries ==

I wanted to suggest to the (junior) admins/bureaucrats edits to the descriptions for the Individual characteristics section. Bold is added text, crossed text is deleted text.

*Dragonite: [...] It has a traditionally high Attack''', average speed''' and above average stats otherwise. '''Its hidden Ability is Multiscale, which further bolsters its respectable bulk.'''

*Tyranitar: [...] Tyranitar sacrifices Speed '''and a bit of Special Attack''' to have tremendous bulk <s>and skill</s>. [...]

*Salamence: [...] Its stats are high in Attack, Special Attack, and Speed, while comparatively low '''(but nevertheless respectable)''' in both Defense stats. '''It has the Intimidate Ability, allowing it to take physical attacks more easily.'''

*Goodra: Unlike the other pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Goodra is <s>mainly defensive</s> '''more defensive-oriented'''. '''This can be reflected on its stats (with its Special Defense being much higher than its Attack and Special Attack, which are somewhat similar), as well as its Abilities, all of which have some sort of defensive utility.''' <s>Its Attack and Special Attack are very similar.</s> '''However, it focuses slightly more on Special Attack and has a more versatile selection of special attacks'''. <s>It has the lowest base Attack of all the pseudo-legendary Pokémon.</s> (move this fact to a bullet point)

*Kommo-o: Kommo-o has mostly well-rounded stats <s>and</s>''', though''' it is slightly more defensive than offensive. '''Its offensive stats almost mirror those of Goodra, with somewhat similar Attack and Special Attack, though it focuses slightly more on Attack and has a more versatile selection of physical attacks.'''

*Dragapult: '''Dragapult, much like Salamence, has a higher focus on attacking prowess, though it sacrifices physical Attack and overall bulk for significantly higher Speed. This makes it more of a glass cannon compared to the other pseudo-legendary Pokémon.'''

== Mega Evolutions ==

Could somebody add a table for the base stats and artwork for the Mega Evolved Pseudo-Legendaries similar to the table of their base forms on this page? I did a similar thing on the [[Primal Reversion]] page last month but for whatever reason don't have the clearance on this page. [[User:Alolan Ninetales|Alolan Ninetales]] ([[User talk:Alolan Ninetales|talk]]) 06:52, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

== Better tables ==

With the introduction of [[Dragapult]], the section "[[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon#List of pseudo-legendary Pokémon|List of pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]" is now broken because it has too many elements side-by-side, creating a horizontal scrollbar even on desktop. I [[User:Lakelimbo/Grids#Side-by-side elements|made this on my userpage]] without using tables inside tables and it doesn't break the screen boundaries (plus it's somewhat responsive). Could someone add this on the page (I can't edit myself)? — [[User:Lakelimbo|'''Lake'''limbo]] ([[User talk:Lakelimbo|talk]]) 20:12, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
:For what it's worth, it looks fine on my end, but I can imagine it being weird on other devices. I think it's more indicative of a deeper problem though... (assumedly) further generations will add more and more pseudo legendaries, adding more and more entries to this table, as well as the base stat table below that. Eventually we'll need to shift to something pretty different from what's already here, and I think it's worth starting the conversation now.

:Just to put it out there, but I'd be perfectly fine with eschewing tables entirely for what is essentially a glorified list. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 21:04, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

The bottom table with stats will not fit on my screen with the next pseudo.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 21:12, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
:::I think that grid layout makes the entries a bit too wide. I've changed this page to just use <code>float: left</code> instead of an outer table, which should fix the key issue with it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:01, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
::::Oh it's alright, I made them wider just to have 4 on the top and 4 on the bottom (on an average screen size). It's also possible to define <code>grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, auto))</code> to ~167px if <code>float</code> some day becomes problematic/deprecated. — [[User:Lakelimbo|'''Lake'''limbo]] ([[User talk:Lakelimbo|talk]]) 21:23, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

== A few things worth adding ==

It says that Garchomp and Kommo-o are the only pseudo lines not to have a base friendship of 35. As of Generation VIII, this is no longer true, as Dragapult and its evolutionary relatives have the normal base friendship of 50, and thus joins Garchomp and Kommo-o in this regard.

Next, there likely needs to be a brief one-liner for Dragapult describing its stat build like with the other pseudo-legendaries. Something like "Dragapult is unique in that it trades out on bulk to instead focus on being fast and offensive, having extremely high Speed, as well as good Attack and Special Attack". Something to describe its stats like has been done for previous pseudo-legendaries, namely in that it's extremely fast but is also less defensive than other pseudo-legendaries, if anyone thinks they can articulate that better that would be useful as well.

And as for the Trainer/users section, Goodra is used by Raihan in the Champion Cup matches as well as the Galarian Star Tournament. Kommo-o is also used by Mustard in his final match as well as in subsequent rematches and the Galarian Star Tournament.[[User:ScraftyIsTheBest|ScraftyIsTheBest]] ([[User talk:ScraftyIsTheBest|talk]]) 01:44, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

== Archaludon ==

So GameFreak broke a pattern, as they are wont to do, and as a result for the first time ever we have a Pokémon in which there are legitimate debates as to whether or not it is a pseudo-legendary. Archaludon has all of the traits typically associated with pseudo-legendaries besides being three-stage, so there's now debate as to whether that aspect is enough to qualify something as pseudo-legendary. As pseudo-legendary is a fan term, I don't think this article should express a strong stance on whether or not Archaludon counts as one; it should instead express its disputed status and the arguments for and against. [[User:Biblical Bambi|Biblical Bambi]] ([[User talk:Biblical Bambi|talk]]) 00:40, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
:The lede for this article lists three criteria for being a pseudo-legendary:

:::The 600 BST is probably the most important part. The whole point of the term "pseudo-legendary" was in reference to the high BST that was otherwise restricted to legendaries.

:::::I also think this page could need some work in that regard. Older versions of this page have mentioned that things like the Slow Exp group aren't always included in all definitions of pseudo-legendaries.

::::::I agree. My main point was mainly to highlight that the definition of pseudo-legendary isn't as clear-cut as some people above made it out to be, given that it started as a fan term (but the grouping has been acknowledged by TPC as you said). This page also had a bunch of other requirements listed in the past that had to be removed when they no longer were true. I would prefer if the page better reflected that the definition of pseudo-legendary isn't as set in stone as the page makes it out to be. There are plenty of English speakers who also only consider the BST requirement and it is weird of Bulbapedia to try to take ownership of the term as it stands. But regardless, if the three requirements will stand absolute in this article then it is objectively wrong to put ''Pseudo-legendary Pokémon (Japanese: 600族 600 club)'' at the start of the title since those two are no longer interchangeable.

== Pseudo-legendary --> Powerhouse ==

It seems to me that everyone who commented on this page, other than Shiny Noctowl, was dumbfounded as to the article's title and definition therein. For pages dealing with fanon terminology, this is a good sign that something has been done '''wrong'''; fanon terms are ''necessarily'' known to a large number of fans, as opposed to a select few, or in this case - no more than one.

Furthemore, the page (prior to my editing it) included mentions of Pokémon with legendary characteristics, despite their having nothing to do with the suggested definiton of pseudo-legendary. It was also a mere copy-and-paste of the corresponding section on the [[Legendary]] page. Now, as for the definition itself, it should be crystal-clear that the powerhouses, as defined by myself, are ''distinct'' in their categorization from any other Pokémon ({{p|Flygon}}, for the sake of discussion). Simply put, they are non-legendary Pokémon whose total base stats is 600, which is a great deal higher than Flygon's 520 (see the trivia paragraph for clarification on {{p|Slaking}}). Besides, what makes Flygon any more special than {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Walrein}} and the 7 fully-evolved, two-typed starters? All of these match the definition used by Shiny Noctowl. I do hope that competitive usage is not the reason, because {{p|Swampert}} and {{p|Infernape}} clearly outweigh Flygon in that regard.

It amazes me that everyone assumed that the definition was acceptable simply because someone had put it forth. Bulbapedia encourages critical thinking and sets virtually no limits on the users' capacity to edit existing pages. Why was I the only one who had the fortitude to replace the previous definition with one that is actually used by the fandom? --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 16:47, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
:Mudkipchan apparently heard pseudo-legendary on Smogon, and I've heard pseudo-legendary on several websites, so I think it should be moved back. I agree, though, that the definition needed some work. But why remove Flygon? Its stats are slightly lower, but base stats shouldn't be included in the definition. Other than base stats, Flygon is in every way a pseudo-legendary. [[User:Shiny Noctowl|S<big>h</big>i<big>n</big>y]] [[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|<big>N</big>o<big>c</big>t<big>o</big>w<big>l</big>]]  13:57, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

::You can see my comments on the article's name further below. Now, the explanation for my excluding Flygon should be quite obvious from the pieces of trivia; Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross and Garchomp have more in common than what you listed in your definition, and in fact, they have more in common than just my addition to that definition (a total base stats of 600). Flygon does not share that common denominator; what it does share with the aforementioned five is also shared by ''at the very least'' Walrein and Aggron, who are part of a three-stage line, have two types, require nearly as much experience to reach their form, and have an even higher total of base stats (530). If the only reason for which you included Flygon but excluded those two is that you thought only Flygon was available strictly in its first form, then you thought wrong: In Generation III Sealeo and Walrein are also not available in the wild; in Generation IV both Vibrava and Sealeo are available (incidentally, Lairon is not).

::But all of that is irrelevant, since neither Flygon nor Walrein (nor Aggron, for that matter) has enough in common with the powerhouses/pseudo-legendaries so as to be added to the group. It is enough to require a total base stats of 600 to limit the group to the five relevant ones (a respectable addition in and of itself), but again, their common denominator is even greater than that. Look at the trivia and see it for yourself. --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 13:55, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

::First of all, my ''true'' gripe was with the contents of the article; redirecting the article to a new title was primarily symbolic of the reshifting of its underlying ideas. However, I would like to point out the irony in the statement that powerhouse is too broad a term spanning just about every overused Pokémon - the same can be said of pseudo-legendary, as evidenced by the fact that this article originally contained a separate list of Pokémon with legendary characteristics!

::Furthermore, I personally feel that ''pseudo-legendary'' should be used to describe only two Pokémon that are not even mentioned in the article: {{p|Unown}} and {{p|Phione}}. ''Legendary'' alludes to mystery and nature or universe-controlling abilities; this article deals with battle prowess, for which legendaries are certainly well known, but it takes second place to their aura. Besides, some legendaries are not as battle-competent as the pseudo-legendaries/powerhouses in the article - practically all tweleve members of the legendary trios, and arguably some others. This comparison holds in base stats (the legendary trio all have a total of 580, which is lower than 600), but even an in-depth comparison on a competitive level leads to the same conclusion, at least generally. Therefore, is it justified to attach the name ''pseudo-legendary'' to a definition that highlights the battle prowess of Pokémon that are actually stronger than some legendaries? On the other hand, Unown and Phione are indeed pseudo-legendary if the term is taken to mean a Pokémon whose aura is associated with a true legendary ({{p|Suicune}} in Unown's case and {{p|Manaphy}} in Phione's).

::But I digress, as I do agree that if ''pseudo-legendary'' is more frequently used by the fandom to describe the group in question, then it should be used for the purposes of discussing a fanon term.

::One last thing - I appreciate Politoed666's token of solidarity. I don't mind reversions to my own edits, especially when done by another sysop, but it isn't my idea of showing respect; it would have been better to wait a bit longer in case I had arguments to present. I only wonder why the same level of urgency was not taken to revise the contents of the article in its original format, when it obviously needed re-working. --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 13:55, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree with certain points made by Unown Lord. Perhaps the overall issue with the term "pseudo-legendary" is the usage of "legendary." There are Pokémon that are "legendary" which do have certain exclusive characteristics, and applying the term to another group has its drawbacks. While the term may certain have specific applications to the pseudo-legendary Pokémon it is difficult to draw a completely defined line, contrary to the case with legendary Pokémon. The debate over which Pokémon "qualify" has no feasible ending point, as fans will always stick to their opinion concerning which ones "deserve" to be included. Sure, we have limits on Bulbapedia but in spite of this fact, there is still such an issue, as we can see from this very page. Honestly, I have no problem with the term, despite how vague it is and the supposed difficulty adhering to its guidelines. My wife on the other hand, disagrees with its usage for many of the reasons I mention. [[User:Deviant Audio|Deviant Audio]] 16:01, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

== 600 stat point total a requirement? ==

Doesn't that seem a little subjective? I mean sure they all have that but that doesn't mean a future Pokemon of similar psuedo-legend status will have that total. Plus with these Pokemon it could just be coincidence they all have 600. Having 600 total might have been how it happened for all of them, but I just don't seem it as a ''requirement'' per se. Just that that's how it happened. Toastypk 03:34, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
:Not really. The psuedo-legends were most likely designed so that their stats WOULD total 600. The only likely exception would be Dragonite due to Special Attack/Defence being a single stat in Generation 1, but it was probably reworked to total 600 in Generation 2.

== Available only as their first form. ==

The article states that "Most pseudo-legendaries are obtainable in the wild strictly in their first form. However, Dragonair is also obtainable in the wild in most games where Dratini is (all but Pokémon Red, Green and Blue). Likewise, Pupitar is available in the wild in Crystal. Gabite is found in Victory Road in Platinum."

However, with the addition of Platinum, Gabite can be found in the wild. This means that no, only 2 out of the 5 of them are only found in their first form in the wild. I honestly don't think that something like that should be included in the article, since when was 2 out of 5 "most", or even noteworthy? You could say that all 5 of them have the colour blue on them somewhere, but is that noteworthy?

I'd have already removed it, but the page is protected. [[User:Ggled|Ggled]] 22:09, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

== Base Stat total trivia ==

On all the pseudo legendaries, there is a trivia entry stating that they have the second highest base stat total behind slaking. It then goes on to say how it's tied with the other pseudo legendaries etc etc.
Wouldn't it make more sense to just not have this? I mean there's already a link to the pseudo legendary page (here) at the top of the page, and it explains here that they all have the same base stat total etc. Just seems redundant to me and pointless trivia.

== Two types really necessary? ==

I'd say the defining feature is the 600 BST. The page, in more than one place, describes the fact that pseudolegendaries have two types as though you couldn't, even in theory, have a pseudolegendary without it, but is that so? Obviously, all the pseudos that currently exist have two types (and we should mention that fact, don't get me wrong), but wouldn't we just adjust our definition if they (hypothetically) introduced a monotype pseudo in the sixth generation? I don't think we should "define" a pseudo as having two types; nor should we list that as one of the reasons Slaking isn't. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 17:25, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

== Ulgamoth ==

This may be shot down, but SURELY Ulgamoth is a pseudo-legendary. It may lack the Base Stats and Second Evolution, but it's clearly intended to be in the same tier. Its final evolution receives the EV yield of a Third-Stage pokemon, it comes right after Sazandorah, just like how Salamence and Metagross are placed next to each other (Garchomp was separated from legendaries by Evolutions from previous gens). It has significant mythology connected to it, and is obtained in peculiar ways, one of which is fashioned like a Legendary Encounter. It evolves at a ridiculously high level. Hell, the concept itself is that of something that would have a cocoon stage, but missed out on it somehow. The 550 Base Stat is peculiar, but surely can be put down to it having Butterfly Dance, an obscenely powerful move. Pretty much everything points it to being a counterpart with Sazandorah as the two pseudo-legendaries of Generation 5. [[User:N-Denizen|N-Denizen]] 23:30, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

:::I would like to disagree with everyone that opposes Volcarona as a Pseudo-Legendary. Just have a look at nearly every other Bug type that came before it for instance, and you'll notice that ALL tend to have stats below 400 or very rarely reaching 500 or higher. In nearly all games before B/W it was almost like a rule or some sort, or a tradition. Perhaps Volcarona lives up to this tradition even with B/W's upgrade to Bug types. As a Bug type, it would not be able to have as high of stats as other types if it followed this old tradition, so that would explain Volcarona's BST of 550 instead of 600. Another possible explaination is probably just an excuse to make it have a lower BST than Genesect. The big seal to all this is that Alder uses Volcarona as his main Pokemon. Why would it be used as his main if it wasn't a Pseudo-Legendary? Why just have something random instead of a Psuedo-legendary or even a Legendary? It all starts to make sense when you think about it. Volcarona, though having a lower BST than the other Pseudo-Legends, still has the exact same kind of power you'd expect from one due to it's gargantuan stats compared to other Bug types. Even Genesect feels very weak in comparison to Volcarona, as well as giving Tyranitar and Metagross something to fear and respect at the same time. So the point of all of this is, it would seem reasonable to accept Volcarona as a Pseudo-Legend due to past treatment of Bug types in general. Besides, doesn't it seem more like a fan idea to have them required to have a BST of 600 and be a 3 stage line? What if GF has their own requirements to the idea and simply design them as they please? For a Bug type to fill this role, all of this would make alot of sense. Why simply believe a Pseudo-Legend requires those things only because of past tradition from Gen I-IV? Wouldn't it be fair for a Bug type Pseudo-Legend to exist yet still follow the tradition of Bug types having lower Base stats than others? [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 20:36, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
::::Pseudo-legendary is a fan term, so fans determine the requirements. It is based on a pattern we as fans have detected in each generation? Being "strong" has nothing to do with being pseudo-legendary (other than that pseudo-legendary requires a 600 BST). Champion usage does not make something pseudo-legendary, even if it is their primary Pokémon. Alder doesn't use a legendary Pokémon because they are restricted to battle facility Trainers and storyline events. They did not fit it into their previous pattern. Anything that breaks the mold is not bending the pattern, but rejecting it. What does Volcarona have in common with actual pseudo-legendary Pokémon? If we let Volcarona in, then the definition of pseudo-legendary becomes "has two types, needs 1,250,000 exp to get to level 100". Now, if you look at {{cat|Pokémon in the Slow experience group|this list of Pokémon in that experience group}} and pick out all the dual typed Pokémon, excluding legendary Pokémon, you can see just how many there are. To name a few, {{p|Abomasnow}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Sharpedo}}, {{p|Lanturn}}. And that is only a few of them. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:49, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
:::::Now you're being just biased about all this. Why do they all need BSTs of 600? Can't Volcarona be the exception due to it's Bug typing? Even if Dual typed and Slow exp group were the only requirements now, it would all still be the same, since Volcarona would be the only Pseudo-Legend that doesn't fill the previous 600 BST requirement. All you seem to be trying to do is sticking too much to tradition, because honestly, I thought you'd stick with the 1st to 4th gen's Pseudo-Legend tradition of Attack being the highest stat when it was revealed Hydreigon's highest was Special Attack instead. Due to that, I thought everybody would be biased with even it due to favoring Special Attack instead. Volcarona, when compared to Aggron of Flygon, makes far more sense as a Pseudo-Legendary. Honestly, I think of Pseudo-Legendaries having the highest BST of all non-legendaries out of one of their types. Dragonite, Salamence, Garchomp, and Hydreigon have the highest Base Stat total of all non-legendary Dragon types, Tyranitar has the highest of all Non-legendary Rock types, and the highest for Dark types along with Hydreigon. Metagross has the highest out of all Non-legendary Steel and Psychic types. Volcarona has the highest of all Non-legendary Bug types. It all makes sense when you consider how a Pseudo-Legendary could be designed with that in mind. [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 21:56, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

== Slaking ==

I am aware that an argument has already been brought up to add Slaking to the list. I think it should be added, for the following reasons. From what I understand, the definition here of a Pseudo-Legendary is (a) it can't be legendary. (b) It must evolve twice. It is not part of the definition that all of them must be dual typed, nor that they must have an immunity. This is simply a trait that all of the current members of the list happen to share. The third part of the current definition is that all of them must have exactly 600 BST. This is the part I don't understand. I can understand why it would be nice to have a requirement for at least 600, but why does it have to be exact? This brings us to Slaking. It has the highest base stats of any non-legendary. It evolves twice. Why should it be denied the position of being pseudo-legendary for being too powerful? Pseudo-legendary means "resembling a legendary", and legendaries are supposed to be powerful. There are 16 legendaries with a BST over 600, and 11 even higher than Slaking's. In terms of its lack of a second type, 22 out of 47 legendaries are single-typed. Slaking's lack of a second type definitely should not exclude it from being a pseudo-legendary. [[User:Tk3141|Tk3141]] 22:19, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
:''Slaking, though not pseudo-legendary, has the highest base stats of all non-legendary Pokémon and one immunity, to the Ghost-type. However, it lacks some factors: a base-stat total of 600 and a secondary type. Slaking is also hindered by its ability, Truant, which is likely the reason for its high stats. '' From this page. However I would say the biggest reason it is not on here is because Truant truly cripples any astounding power it has. The only time to experience its true full potential is in a double battle with a Pokemon that uses Skill Swap on it so it can attack every turn rather than half the turns.

== So seriously, what's the definition? ==

As I pointed out above (and nearly no one responded), if the sixth gen introduces a non-legendary Pokemon with a 600 BST with only one type will we say that it's not pseudolegendary, or will we just change the definition of what a psuedolegendary is? Why is having two types or a specific level-up curve considered a ''necessary condition'' to being a pseudolegendary rather than just a trait all of the current ones happen to have? Indeed, given that you can completely remove either restriction or both of them and not change the list of pseudolegendary Pokemon ''at all'' (you can't do so with the 600 BST or the fact that they come from evolutionary families), I'd say Occam's Razor would slice away those unnecessary conditions. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 07:09, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
: PS. I'd like to point out that the opening paragraph used to mention that all pseudos had Attack as their highest stat, though it wisely did not include that as a part of the definition of what makes a pseudo a pseudo. [[Hydreigon|Now it doesn't say that any more.]] Just sayin'. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 07:26, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
::The pseudolegendaries are variations on a theme. The dual types and stats are part of that theme. Single type would suggest that there's an underlying difference. Experience group makes them hard to raise, suggesting that they're all very similar. Like PP of moves, experience group is an indicator of the similarity of Pokemon. If Nintendo feel the need to make it a lower experience group, that makes it easier to raise, suggesting that there are underlying differences - the Pokemon are not considered equal. Stats like that aren't just a random choice. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:01, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
:::I can't say I agree. We can say that the two types and the level-up curve are traits they all have, at present, but how is it part of the definition? If you remove those restrictions, the number of pseudolegendary Pokemon remains six, so those restrictions aren't helping with the definition and just unnecessarily restrict possible future psuedolegendaries. I was asked to provide a source that they're not necessary. Where's the source that they are? I mean, let's say, totally hypothetically, that one made a page called "Pikachu Clones" back in the fourth gen, discussing Pokemon such as Pichu, Plusle, Minun, and Pachirisu. (The usefulness of such a page isn't the point; let's just say that one existed.) At the time, they decided to define the Pokemon as "Cute mono-Electric-type Pokemon that have a resemblence to Pikachu. Aside from Pichu and Pikachu, none of the Pikachu clones evolve." Are you to say that, when the fifth gen came out, this hypothetical page would have been wrong to alter its definition and include Emolga? If so, why? And if not, then why did the definition need to include the "mono-" part of it at all if it's unnecessarily limiting and so easily discarded? --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 20:57, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
::::I personally don't think having two types should be part of the definition; I don't see a pure Dragon-type pseudo legendary Pokemon being that unlikely. I did a quick search, and I couldn't find any other non-forum giving a definition of pseudo-legendary Pokemon, so there is nothing stating either way. However, I would say experience group is just as important as BST. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:42, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
:::::No, I still stand against it. I'm being treated like I'm trying to redefine which Pokemon are pseudolegendary, and, yes, I do see that others have tried. But I'm not. Removing these two restrictions does nothing. It's Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, and Hydreigon now. It'll be Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, and Hydreigon if you remove those restrictions.
:::::Who made the call that they're necessary to the definition? I've been asked to source that they're not. Why must I prove the negative? It's the positive case that requires proof! Should I add a [citation needed] to the definition?
:::::If you were to remove the 600 BST part of the defintion, and still keep everything else, you'd add things like Aggron and Rhyperior to the list, so we can't do that.
:::::The "three-stage evolutionary family" thing comes off to me as a roundabout way of saying "not legendary", but I'm fine with it since legendary status can be arguable (the Legendary page on this very wiki is unsure on Phione, and even though I strongly disagree, I've even seen modern fans try to argue Rotom's legendary status.) And without it, Jirachi and Landorus are brought into the list of "pseudolegendaries", so obviously that restriction is necessary, regardless of the wording.
:::::But why type combos? Why experience groups? Removing them changes what? Is there a 600-BST three-stage mono-type family in the medium-slow group that is clearly not pseudolegendary I'm somehow unfamiliar with? (Well, Slaking has a 6'''7'''0 BST and three stages and is a monotype, though he is in the Slow group, but... Truant is all it takes to convince me he's not a proper pseudolegendary. And he's the closest there is, besides the obvious six!)
:::::As I said, if you were to put on the side (in Trivia or something) that all of them, at present, are dualtypes in the Slow experience group, you wouldn't see me argue - it's true, after all.

::::::Thing is, pseudo-legendary is the observation of a pattern and nothing more.

Knowing the fandom—who tried and push Volcarona and Haxorus into being pseudo-legendary—there will certainly be many people who think it should be. However, it won't truly be one. I don't see that ever happening though, as experience group is part of the pattern. Even if something had a BST of 600, three-stage evolutionary family and medium-slow experience group but had Truant, it would still be pseudo-legendary. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:18, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::Isn't that a contradiction? (Did you get your experience groups confused?)

:::::::::::I would argue that, though it's not a very specific or encyclopedic definition, a pseudo-legendary Pokemon would be a non-legendary Pokemon as strong, stat-wise, as legendaries.

Now that said, all pseudos that exist have 600; there's no argument here and it works to say it.

Its signature move Megahorn is the most powerful bug type move, and it's movepool contains some powerful moves like Earthquack and Focuspunch with its base stat comes par with legendary pokemon and even has 4x damage on celebi.

== Edit request for definition of "pseudo-legendary" ==

"'''Pseudo-legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|擬似伝説|ぎじでんせつ}}''' ''pseudo-legendary'') is a fan term commonly used to refer to any Pokémon that has a three-stage [[evolution]] line, [[Experience#Slow|1,250,000 experience at level 100]], and a [[base stats|base stat]] total of exactly {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 600|600}}. The term originates from the prefix ''pseudo-'', which means "false". Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are often more powerful than many other non-[[Legendary Pokémon]] due to their high base stats.

Other variations of the definition omit the need to have 1,250,000 experience at level 100."

should become

"'''Pseudo-legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|擬似伝説|ぎじでんせつ}}''' ''pseudo-legendary'') is a fan term commonly used to refer to any [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] that is not in the [[Undiscovered (Egg Group)|Undiscovered Egg Group]] and has a [[base stats|base stat]] total of exactly {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 600|600}}. Currently, all pseudo-legendary Pokémon have exactly two [[evolution|pre-evolutions]] which can only evolve by leveling up past a certain [[level]] and [[Experience#Slow|1,250,000 experience at level 100]]. The term originates from the prefix ''pseudo-'', which means "false". Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are often more powerful than many other non-[[Legendary Pokémon]] due to their high base stats."

The BST of 600 matters because anything less would make it less "legendary". Legendary Pokemon are set apart by their lack of evolutionary relatives, inability to breed, and high stats. As long as a Pokemon meets the latter requirement and not the former two, wouldn't it make sense for it to be a pseudo-legendary Pokemon?

:It's fine as it is.
:No, it's not okay for it to only have "high stats". Psuedo-legendaries were ''originally'' (strong) Pokemon who came between ''legitimate'' Legendary Pokemon in the Pokedex but were not Legendaries themselves. The definition of "psuedo-legendary" is molded to conform to the strong pattern that those Pokemon showed: three stages, BST 600, slow experience.

== New Evidence! ==

I play Pokemon Black 2. I noted that whenever I send out a Legendary that lands on the ground (like the 3 musketeers and Zekrom), there is a shimmer effect after they land. This seems to show that this Pokemon is a legendary. However, there are other Pokemon who have this shimmer effect as they land, too.

Examples include Tyranitar, Crustle, Arcanine, Onix, Steelix, Dragonite, Graveler, Golem, Milotic, Emboar, Metagross, Beartic, and Mamoswine.

Could these Pokemon and others in fact have a classification as "Legendary"? Are they just some of the strongest Pokemon, or are they all just heavy? {{unsigned|Reshiespeon}}

== "For one reason or another..." ==

In the Trivia section at the bottom of the page, five pokemon commonly mistaken for pseudo-legendaries are listed, followed by the sentence "For one reason or another, these Pokémon do not fit the criteria of those above and so are not pseudo-legendary Pokémon."

While this is correct, it would perhaps be more helpful to mention that it is because none of them have a base stat total of 600. It could also, perhaps, be mentioned that Slaking has a higher base stat total than 600, but the criteria require exactly 600 (and perhaps also mention Truant as rationale for not including Slaking anyway--but that's probably too in-depth for a trivia section).

To clarify, I am suggesting, at least, changing "For one reason or another, these Pokémon do not fit the criteria of those above and so are not pseudo-legendary Pokémon." to "None of these Pokémon have the requisite base stat total of 600 to be considered pseudo-legendary." [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 18:09, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

== Requirements to be a pseudo-legendary ==

I am not sure where, exactly, the definition of pseudo-legendary came from, but it strikes me that two of the three criteria given to class a Pokémon as pseudo-legendary are redundant: the pseudo-legendaries are exactly those Pokémon which are not actually legendary or mega-evolutions and have a base stat total of six hundred. No Pokémon besides the eight listed pseudo-legendaries meets this criterion, and so the requirement of a three-stage evolution line and 1250000 experience at level 100 seem redundant to me. I don't know if these redundant criteria should be removed and simply mentioned as common traits all current ones share, or if there is some good reason to keep them.

Note also that the requirements given already, without specifying that mega evolutions don't count as pseudo-legendaries, would make Mega Alakazam and Mega Gengar be pseudo-legendaries. Alternatively, if mega evolution counts as an evolution stage for the "has a three-stage evolution line" requirement, Mega Scizor and Mega Houndour count as pseudo-legendaries. At the very least, "is not a mega evolution" should be added to the criteria.

==About Salamence and Hydreigon==
Should we list that J has a Salamence, and that Cameron has a Hydreigon? Crum Mum 01:48, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

== ''The term originates from the prefix pseudo-, which means "false".'' ==

Why does the lead of this article go out of its way to explain a common English word? I mean, I know Pokemon is targeted at children, and young children may not be familiar with ''pseudo-'', but isn't its meaning obvious from context anyway?

I think it would be best to just remove this sentence, but if not then it should be combined with the following sentence to read something like

''The term combines the prefix ''pseudo-'', which means "false", with ''[[Legendary Pokémon]]'', due to their being more powerful than most other non-Legendary Pokémon and therefore being considered closer to Legendary Pokémon.''

This would eliminate the inaccurate use of "originate" to give the actual etymology. The term doesn't originate from the prefix ''pseudo-''; it originates as a combination of ''pseudo-'' with ''Legendary Pokémon'', <del>and the use of a Japanese term in the first sentence implies it actually originates as a translation from Japanese</del>. (If anyone wants to know why I'm being so pedantic about the meanings of words, it's because I can't edit the page directly and need to be extremely specific about my thinking so that if someone proxies for me they know exactly what they are doing.)

I was thinking that we should add a trivia point about Metagross and Goodra, specifically they're the only two pseudos that don't have a 4x weakness (Dragonite, Salamence and Garchamp have 4x weakness to Ice, Hydreigon and Kommo-o to Fairy, and Tyranitar to Fighting).

::: I personally saw that the claim ''Goodra and Kommo-o are the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that do not always have a type immunity'' was implying that they did not '''always''' have a type immunity which I interpreted as Kommo-o not 'always' having a type immunity meant that in some scenarios it has the potential to '''have''' a type immunity but only in certain scenarios.
:::I would like to say that my understanding of a type-immunity meant an immunity to the elemental typing of attacks(e.g. fire, water) rather than immunity to certain FORM of attacks (e.g. soundbased, ball/bomb based) which Kommo-o CAN have via Bulletproof/Soundproof.
:::I know Goodra doesn't always have one due to being entirely dependant on the ability Sap Sipper which it doesn't always have but I saw it as with the case of Kommo-o, its Dragon/Fighting typing doesn't grant it any immunities under any circumstances which I thought that the sentence was telling me.
::: So basically I was confused as I believed that the sentence meant that Kommo-o not always having a type immunity meaning that only in some situations does a Kommo-o have the potential to have a type immunity.

== Dragapult ==

I know the staff are likely incredibly busy and this isn't top priority at the moment, however, with all the Pokemon's stats and data out, I believe it is well established by now that Dragapult is the Generation VIII pseudo-legendary. Based on all the data surrounding it, everything lines up:

- Dragapult's BST is 600

- It is part of a three-stage evolutionary line

- The entire line has a catch rate of 45 (Dreepy, Drakloak, and Dragapult all have a catch rate of 45)

- It is in the Slow EXP group

- It requires 40 egg cycles to hatch a Dreepy

Just bringing this up for staff to assess. I won't push anyone to get this updated immediately, but bringing this up and if anyone in the staff has objections based on assessment, feel free to discuss them.

*Goodra: Unlike the other pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Goodra is <s>mainly defensive</s> '''more defensive-oriented'''. '''This can be reflected on its stats (with its Special Defense being much higher than its Attack and Special Attack, which are somewhat similar), as well as its Abilities, all of which have some sort of defensive utility.''' <s>Its Attack and Special Attack are very similar.</s> '''However, it focuses slightly more on Special Attack and has a more versatile selection of special attacks'''. <s>It has the lowest base Attack of all the pseudo-legendary Pokémon.</s> (move this fact to a bullet point)

'''Its offensive stats almost mirror those of Goodra, with somewhat similar Attack and Special Attack, though it focuses slightly more on Attack and has a more versatile selection of physical attacks.'''

*Dragapult: '''Dragapult, much like Salamence, has a higher focus on attacking prowess, though it sacrifices physical Attack and overall bulk for significantly higher Speed. This makes it more of a glass cannon compared to the other pseudo-legendary Pokémon.'''

Eventually we'll need to shift to something pretty different from what's already here, and I think it's worth starting the conversation now.

== A few things worth adding ==

It says that Garchomp and Kommo-o are the only pseudo lines not to have a base friendship of 35. As of Generation VIII, this is no longer true, as Dragapult and its evolutionary relatives have the normal base friendship of 50, and thus joins Garchomp and Kommo-o in this regard.

Next, there likely needs to be a brief one-liner for Dragapult describing its stat build like with the other pseudo-legendaries. Something like "Dragapult is unique in that it trades out on bulk to instead focus on being fast and offensive, having extremely high Speed, as well as good Attack and Special Attack". Something to describe its stats like has been done for previous pseudo-legendaries, namely in that it's extremely fast but is also less defensive than other pseudo-legendaries, if anyone thinks they can articulate that better that would be useful as well.

And as for the Trainer/users section, Goodra is used by Raihan in the Champion Cup matches as well as the Galarian Star Tournament. Kommo-o is also used by Mustard in his final match as well as in subsequent rematches and the Galarian Star Tournament.[[User:ScraftyIsTheBest|ScraftyIsTheBest]] ([[User talk:ScraftyIsTheBest|talk]]) 01:44, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

== Archaludon ==

So GameFreak broke a pattern, as they are wont to do, and as a result for the first time ever we have a Pokémon in which there are legitimate debates as to whether or not it is a pseudo-legendary. Archaludon has all of the traits typically associated with pseudo-legendaries besides being three-stage, so there's now debate as to whether that aspect is enough to qualify something as pseudo-legendary. As pseudo-legendary is a fan term, I don't think this article should express a strong stance on whether or not Archaludon counts as one; it should instead express its disputed status and the arguments for and against. [[User:Biblical Bambi|Biblical Bambi]] ([[User talk:Biblical Bambi|talk]]) 00:40, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
:The lede for this article lists three criteria for being a pseudo-legendary:
:* Base Stat Total of 600,
:* Part of a three-stage evolutionary line, and
:* Part of the Slow experience group
:As Archaludon only fits one of these, what would be the arguments for including it on this list? -[[User:Minibug|Minibug]] ([[User talk:Minibug|talk]]) 00:54, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
::We already mentioned Archaludon on the trivia section as "Pokémon that fans think are pseudos but not really" (with other pseudo-pseudos like Flygon and Haxorus). That seems enough mentioning to me. [[User:Anzasquiddles|'''Anzasquiddles''']] 2222(:D)SSSS ([[User_talk:Anzasquiddles|talk page]]) 02:14, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
:::The 600 BST is probably the most important part. The whole point of the term "pseudo-legendary" was in reference to the high BST that was otherwise restricted to legendaries. Also, nobody argues that Haxorus or Flygon are considered pseudos while there are many who consider Archaludon to be one. [[User:Biblical Bambi|Biblical Bambi]] ([[User talk:Biblical Bambi|talk]]) 04:07, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
::::The original term is japanese, and the japanese pokémon comunity, is currently considering Archaludon a pesudo-legendary, as you can check here (https://wiki.xn--rckteqa2e.com/wiki/600%E6%97%8F); (https://dic.pixiv.net/a/600%E6%97%8F); (https://appmedia.jp/pokemon_sv/76221415), the main reason for this is that the only strong criteria for the group is the 600 bst, the other 2 are just common things, and the japanese comunity only focus in the main criteria i belive. 19:33, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
:::::I also think this page could need some work in that regard. Older versions of this page have mentioned that things like the Slow Exp group aren't always included in all definitions of pseudo-legendaries. As it stands now things like ''Pseudo-legendary Pokémon (Japanese: 600族 600 club)'' would have to be changed if the policy is to abide to the strict definition given here as it would mean a break with the Japanese definition. [[User:Petrichor|Petrichor]] ([[User talk:Petrichor|talk]]) 10:44, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
::::::Japanese fanon isn't inherently more correct than English fanon. The only official acknowledgement uses a phrase translated as "late bloomers," which alludes to the shared attributes other than BST. Archaludon is only the second stage in its family, levels up at a medium fast rate, and is evolved through the use of an item; it is not a "late bloomer" in either the colloquial or archetypal interpretation of the phrase. --[[User:Apopheniac|Apopheniac]] ([[User talk:Apopheniac|talk]]) 16:33, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

:::::::''As some of you might know, there are certain times where Late Bloomers excel in life late into their ages.
:::::::''With Pokémon, they are no different.''
:::::::''Some Pokémon require a lot of training, gaining massive levels before they can reach their full potential.''
:::::::''Some of them also require the help of their evolutions, often looking up to them and gaining their protection.''
:::::::''Introducing the Late Bloomers collection, fans of Dragonite and Dratini, Tyranitar and Larvitar, and Goodra and Goomy can get medium-sized plush toys to snuggle with.''
:::::::So the primary criterion would be the slow experience gain and the high level at which they fully evolve, and then indirectly how they “excel” once they fully evolve.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 17:20, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
Also in this collection come favourite late bloomers such as Beldum, Deino, Gible, Bagon, and Jangmo-o. Not forgetting their final evolution forms Metagross, Hydreigon, Garchomp, Salamence, and Kommo-o.
::::::I agree. My main point was mainly to highlight that the definition of pseudo-legendary isn't as clear-cut as some people above made it out to be, given that it started as a fan term (but the grouping has been acknowledged by TPC as you said). This page also had a bunch of other requirements listed in the past that had to be removed when they no longer were true. I would prefer if the page better reflected that the definition of pseudo-legendary isn't as set in stone as the page makes it out to be. There are plenty of English speakers who also only consider the BST requirement and it is weird of Bulbapedia to try to take ownership of the term as it stands. But regardless, if the three requirements will stand absolute in this article then it is objectively wrong to put ''Pseudo-legendary Pokémon (Japanese: 600族 600 club)'' at the start of the title since those two are no longer interchangeable.

== Continuity evidence discussion ==

This is mostly in response to the recent trivia edit, but I figured it would be better to organize our evidence here.
===Games canon to Masters===
To recap: Certain events from the core series are stated to have happened before the main story of Masters EX. Evidence supporting this is scattered across the various sync pairs in Masters, as well as quotes in event stories and such. The identified games, as I understand them (based on the trivia edit and looking into things further), are:
* Kanto: {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** (FRLG) {{mas|Leaf}} exists, and chose the remaining starter that Red and Blue did not.
** (Alteration) Both Red and Leaf coexist in the same game, unlike in the original game
* Johto: Mix of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and {{game|Crystal}}:
** (HGSS) {{mas|Lyra}}, {{mas|Ariana}}, {{mas|Archer}}, {{mas|Proton}}, and {{mas|Petrel}} all exist.
** (Crystal) {{mas|Kris}} exists.
** (Crystal or HGSS) {{mas|Eusine}} exists.
** (Alteration) Both Ethan and Kris coexist in the same game, unlike in Crystal.
** (conflict) the gen 4 Frontier Brains have the Sinnoh theme skill, but not the Johto theme skill.
* Hoenn: Mix of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}:
** (ORAS) The ORAS designs are used for all Hoenn characters, if applicable.
** (Emerald) Hoenn's [[Frontier Brain]]s exist.
** (Emerald) Both [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] are stated as previously being active in Hoenn.
* Sinnoh: {{game|Platinum}}:
** (Platinum) Cynthia has previously visited the [[Distortion World]], and Cyrus was defeated there.
** (Platinum): Gen 4's Frontier Brains appear, and they have the Sinnoh theme skill.
** (DP) {{mas|Dawn}}, {{mas|Lucas}}, and {{mas|Barry}} use their DP designs instead of Platinum designs.
* Unova, part 1: {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black}}
** (Black) {{mas|Hilbert}} is the Hero of Truth, and {{mas|N}} is the Hero of Ideals.
* Unova part 2: {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}
** {{mas|Nate}}, {{mas|Rosa}}, {{mas|Roxie}}, and {{mas|Marlon}} exist.
** [[Pokéstar Studios]] exists.
** {{mas|Colress}} uses his BW2 design (as opposed to his SM/USUM design).
** {{mas|Cheren}}, {{mas|Bianca}}, {{mas|Elesa}}, {{mas|Iris}}, and {{mas|Ghetsis}} use their designs from BW2.
* Kalos: {{g|X and Y}}
** Unclear which one.
* Alola: {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}

===Characters that exist outside of Masters continuity===
* {{mas|Giovanni}} mentions previously forming and disbanding [[Team Rainbow Rocket]].
* {{mas|Cyrus}} has never heard of the Distortion World, and states that he was about to use Dialga and Palkia to remake the world when he was interrupted by {{p|Hoopa}}'s ring summon. This Cyrus is likely the alternate dimension one from USUM, where he came from a world in which his plan succeeded.
* {{mas|Jessie}} and {{mas|James}} are from the alternate movie continuity .
* {{mas|Ash}} is from the the main anime's continuity.

===Status of the protagonists in Masters===
* {{mas|Red}} is the protagonist of FireRed and LeafGreen, with {{mas|Blue}} as his rival.
** Red's starter is Charizard
** Red was 100% the Champion of the Kanto region, there is a need to provide evidence of this.
* {{mas|Ethan}} is the protagonist of HeartGold and SoulSilver/Crystal, with {{mas|Silver}} as his rival and Lyra as the NPC character.
** Ethan's starter is Typhlosion, based on Silver having Feraligatr, plus Ethan's current Typhlosion could have been the child of his original starter, like with Hilbert's Samurott.
** As far as I know, there is no hint that Ethan is the Champion of Johto.
** The only hint to Ethan and Red's possible battle at Mt. Silver, is Ethan saying "Darn, I really thought I was going to win today" in the [[story event]] [[Threads of Strength]], which is still very vague. It is clear that they had a battle before, but the winner isn't made clear, as the quote could be interpreted as Ethan thinking he was FINALLY going to defeat Red, or that he had defeated Red before but lost this current battle.
* {{mas|Brendan}} is the protagonist of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire/Emerald, with {{mas|May}} as his rival.
** Brendan's starter is most likely Sceptile, based on May's starter being Blaziken, plus Brendan's current Sceptile could have been the child of his original starter, like with Hilbert's Samurott.
** As far as I know, there is only one hint that Brendan is the Champion of Hoenn, as during the [[Villain Arc]] one of the Team Magma grunts reacts to seeing Brendan by saying "You are Hoenn's..." and then gets cut off.
* Dawn is the protagonist of Platinum, with Barry as her rival and Lucas being Professor Rowan's assistant.
** Currently unknown, as it is never stated that her Torterra is the child of her original starter, plus it contradicts with Lucas having Infernape, which has the type advantage against Torterra. She could have received Torterra from Barry as an Egg, like how Gloria received Cinderace from Hop, or simply Masters is breaking the canon of the original game by having her starter be Torterra.
** As far as I know, there is one hint that Dawn might be the Champion of Sinnoh. Dawn mentions that she caught her {{p|Cresselia}} in Sinnoh, after chasing her throughout the region. A clear reference to Cresselia being a roaming Pokémon, which only starts roaming after the player defeats Cynthia.
* Hilbert is the protagonist of Pokémon Black, with {{mas|Hilda}} being the Battle Subway Partner.
** Hilbert's starter is Samurott.
** As far as I know, there is no hint that Hilbert is the Champion of Unova, but this isn't a big deal as being Unova's Champion is 100% optional in the game.
* {{mas|Rosa}} is the protagonist of either Black 2 or White 2, with her rival being {{mas|Hugh}} and {{mas|Nate}} being the Battle Subway Partner.
** Rosa's starter could be Serperior, as it could be the child of her original starter, like with Hilbert's Samurott. But it shouldn't be assumed until we see Nate and Hugh's starters.
** As far as I know, there is no hint that Rosa is the Champion of Unova.
* {{mas|Serena}} is the protagonist of either X or Y, with her rival being {{mas|Calem}}.
** Serena's starter could be Delphox, as it could be the child of her original starter, like with Hilbert's Samurott. It also has a type advantage against {{mas|Shauna}}'s Chesnaught (assuming that Chesnaught is her true starter), although this brings up the question of how she received Greninja.
** Serena's starter could also be Greninja, and she simply received Delphox from an egg from Shauna (assuming that Chesnaught isn't her true starter, which would make Delphox her true starter). Although this assumes that Greninja isn't Calem's true starter.
** As far as I know, there is no hint that Serena is the Champion of Kalos.
* Is unclear who the protagonists of Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon are. Although it seems to lean towards Elio, as he knows who the Masked Royal is, and Kukui recognizes his strength. We know the Champion of Alola exists, as {{mas|Kukui}} mentions that the player reminds him of their Champion.
* Gloria is the protagonist of Pokémon Sword, with her rival being Hop.
** Gloria's starter is Inteleon
** {{mas|Leon}} is still referred to be the Unbeatable Champion, even though by the end of the game's main story, Leon shouldn't still be the Champion of Galar. Leon has also been defeated during the course of the game's events, so it is possible Leon has been defeated, but is still called the Unbeatable Champion. I don't remember if it was ever stated that Gloria and Leon ever battled during the Galar League, and if they did battle, did she win or lose?
* {{mas|Rei}} is the protagonist of Legends: Arceus, with {{mas|Akari}} being Professor Laventon's assistant.
** Rei's starter is Hisuian Decidueye
* As of this moment, it is currently unknown who the protagonist of Pokémon Scarlet is.

===Things that need to be cleared up===
* Was it ever stated that characters from Alola battle Team Rainbow Rocket? If not, this could imply that [[Episode RR]] never happened in this game's continuity. If they do, this could imply that Team Rainbow Rocket which arrived in [[Pasio]], is the same one that attacked [[Aether Paradise]] in this game's continuity.
* Are {{mas|Ariana}}, {{mas|Archer}}, {{mas|Proton}}, and {{mas|Petrel}} from this game's continuity, or are they from the same world as {{mas|Giovanni}}?
* Are the other villainous teams from this game's continuity, or are they from a different world like {{mas|Cyrus}}
* Are {{mas|Rose}} and {{mas|Oleana}} from a different world where Rose has not caused the [[Darkest Day]], or were they taken from a point in time before Rose caused the Darkest Day? (There is a difference, as both multiverse and [[time travel]] exist in the Pokémon canon)
* Are there two versions of {{mas|Grimsley}} in the game. I don't think they are, but some fans seem to think so, as his base and Kimono outfit seem to have aged the character. It could be simply explained away by saying that Grimsley dyed his hair to look younger.
* Has {{mas|Red}} and {{mas|Blue}} experince {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}? As far as I know, there are no references to them being co-leaders of Alola's [[Battle Tree]]. This of course could be answered in the future, but I brought it up as the game implied that some characters are from different points in time, due to {{p|Hoopa}}'s rings or the [[Space-time distortion|space-time rifts]]. Red and Blue also don't use their Alola designs, but then again as stated earlier, some characters use their design from different games, despite not being from those games.
* Is there any evidence that any of the [[player characters]] are {{pkmn|Champion}}s?

That's all I know of so far. If anybody has more evidence (or if more arises later), please bring it up. --[[User:Boblers|Boblers]] ([[User talk:Boblers|talk]]) 03:51, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
:I divided the sections into "Games canon to Masters", "Characters that exist outside of Masters continuity", "Status of the protagonists in Masters" and "Things that need to be cleared up" along with adding some questions that need to be answered. Please feel free to answer or add more questions about the game's continuity. [[User:TBR2001|TBR2001]] ([[User talk:TBR2001|talk]]) 21:21, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
:A couple notes:
:* Lyra explicitly states that she faced Red, at the beginning there likely was a division of the player character’s feat with Ethan facing Team Rocket and having Silver as rival, Kris catching Suicune and Lyra facing Red. However, with the addition of special lines of dialogue at the end of the battle in the Johto Villain Arc, Ethan now has special lines of dialogue when in the same team as Red, so it’s possible that he too faced Red.
:* While the Alola continuity is largely the USUM one, Anabel is stated to be the head of the UB Task Force, so that part of the story seems to be drawn from SM.

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

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into one of [[Eeveelution|eight different Pokémon]] through various methods:
* From [[Generation I]] onwards:
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Vaporeon}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Jolteon}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Flareon}} when exposed to a [[Fire Stone]].
* From [[Generation II]] onwards, except in {{gameabbrev3|FRLG}}/{{gameabbrevss|Colo}}/{{gameabbrev7|PE}} or if the [[Methods of evolution|evolutionary conditions]] for it to evolve into Leafeon, Glaceon, or Sylveon have also been met:
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Espeon}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] during the [[Time#Time-based evolutions|day]] or with a [[Sun Shard]]{{gameabbrevss|XD}} in the {{player}}'s [[Bag]].
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Umbreon}} when leveled up with high friendship during the [[Time#Time-based evolutions|night]] or with a [[Moon Shard]]{{gameabbrevss|XD}} in the player's Bag.
* From [[Generation IV]] onwards, except in {{gameabbrev7|PE}}:
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Leafeon}} when leveled up near a [[Moss Rock]] (unavailable in {{gameabbrev4|HGSS}}/{{gameabbrev8|SwSh}}/{{gameabbrev9|SV}}) or when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]]{{gen|VIII}}+.
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Glaceon}} when leveled up near an [[Ice Rock]] (unavailable in {{gameabbrev4|HGSS}}/{{gameabbrev8|SwSh}}/{{gameabbrev9|SV}}) or when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]]{{gen|VIII}}+ (unavailable in {{gameabbrev8|BDSP}}).
* From [[Generation VI]] onwards, except in {{gameabbrev7|PE}}/{{gameabbrev8|BDSP}} or if the evolutionary conditions for it to evolve into Leafeon or Glaceon have also been met:
** Eevee evolves into {{p|Sylveon}} when leveled up while knowing a {{type|Fairy}} [[move]] and having at least two levels of [[affection]]{{gen|VI}}–{{gen|VII}} or high friendship{{gen|VIII}}+.

Eevee has a [[Gigantamax]] form. Eevee with the Gigantamax Factor cannot evolve.

Eevee is the [[game mascot]] and [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]], as well as for the main characters of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Conquest]]. It is the starting Pokémon and first Pokémon employee of the player in [[Pokémon Café Mix]]. It is also the [[rival]]'s starter Pokémon in {{game|Yellow}}, although [[Professor Oak]] originally intended to give it to the {{player}}. In recent years, Eevee has become a second mascot for the franchise as a whole alongside [[Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]].

==Biology==
Eevee is a small, {{wp|mammal}}ian, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with primarily brown fur. The tip of its bushy tail and its large furry collar are cream-colored. It has short, slender legs with three small toes and a pink paw pad on each foot. Eevee has brown eyes, long pointed ears with dark brown interiors, and a small black nose.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]], the {{player}} [[starter Pokémon|starts with]] a special Eevee known as the {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}} Eevee. The partner Eevee has purple eyes and a lighter shade of fur. These design elements were likely taken from the {{pkmn|anime}}, which implemented similar traits starting in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''. The partner Eevee has higher base stats and access to [[move]]s that normal Eevee do not. The marking on the tip of a [[Variant Pokémon#Eevee|female partner Eevee]]'s tail is flower-shaped. Before [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], this trait was unique and wasn't found on other female Eevee. Since [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the unique tail pattern is present on all female Eevee as a true [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]], as a result [[Pokémon Go]] was updated to apply this change to all female Eevee as well.

Eevee is rarely found in the wild and is mostly only found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|cities and towns}}. However, it is said to have an irregularly shaped genetic structure that is easily influenced by its environment. This allows it to adapt to a variety of habitats by [[Evolution|evolving]]. Eevee can potentially evolve into [[Eeveelution|eight different evolutions]]. Eevee can also adapt the face of the Trainer that owns it. Eevee's genes are believed to have the key to solving the mysteries of Pokémon evolution.

As [[Gigantamax]] Eevee, it has become larger and more fluffy. The fur collar becomes longer with several triangular furs pointing straight up. The right ear has three red clouds circling it. Due to the fur becoming fluffier and more luxurious, any enemies caught in it will become enamored and lose the will to fight. Eevee becomes even more playful and rambunctious after Gigantamaxing, desiring to play with its opponent and often unintentionally crushing them with its size.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-eevee/ Gigantamax Eevee | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Eevee is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Extreme Evoboost}}.

The partner Eevee is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the moves {{m|Bouncy Bubble}}, {{m|Buzzy Buzz}}, {{m|Sizzly Slide}}, {{m|Glitzy Glow}}, {{m|Baddy Bad}}, {{m|Sappy Seed}}, {{m|Freezy Frost}}, and {{m|Sparkly Swirl}}, as well as the partner power {{m|Veevee Volley}}.

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

In ''[[PS019|Blame it on Eevee]]'', an Eevee was subjected to experiments by [[Team Rocket]], which attempted to merge {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} into {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer|a single Pokémon}}. The experiments gave Eevee the characteristic of being able to mutate into three of his evolved forms, namely {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}} and revert, though he still requires the energies of an [[Evolution stone]]. {{adv|Red}} eventually {{pkmn2|caught|catches}} this Eevee as a prerequisite for challenging [[Erika]] and gave him the [[nickname]] of Vee.

Eevee only appears as a random trophy.

====Trophy information====
''As adaptable a Pokémon as any yet discovered, Eevee's evolutionary progress changes to meet the conditions of its environment.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This Normal-type Pokémon is as adaptable to evolution as they come, with eight evolutions discovered thus far. If you pair that potential with its adorable features, it's no wonder Eevee is so popular! In Smash Bros., Eevee will attack a nearby opponent with Take Down. Sadly, this attack isn't incredibly powerful. ''

'''PAL''': ''This adorable Normal-type Pokémon's ability to evolve in so many different ways makes it a popular choice with trainers. When brought out in battle, Eevee uses Take Down on the first opponent it sees, but...it's not very effective. Never mind. Eevee may not be the toughest Pokémon, but it'll always be one of the cutest. ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Eevee returns as a Poké Ball Pokémon retaining the same behavior from the previous game. It also appears as two {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirits}}, Eevee and Partner Eevee.

===Evolution===
[[Partner Pokémon (game)|Partner Eevee]] and Eevee with the [[Gigantamax Factor]] cannot evolve.

{{evobox/1branch7}}
* If multiple [[Methods of evolution|evolutionary conditions]] are met simultaneously, {{p|Leafeon}} and {{p|Glaceon}} are prioritized over {{p|Sylveon}}, and Sylveon is prioritized over {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}.
* Eevee cannot evolve into:
** Any [[Eeveelution]] other than {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}} in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
** Espeon or Umbreon in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, due to the absence of a [[time|day-night cycle]].
** Leafeon or Glaceon in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, due to the absence of a [[Moss Rock]] and [[Ice Rock]] in either [[region]] the games are set in.
** Sylveon in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, as it is not present in those games.

* Eevee was designed by [[Motofumi Fujiwara]].<ref name=EVs/><ref>[https://twitter.com/atsuko_nishida/status/783643367523557376 Tweet by AtsukoNishida (@atsuko_nishida).] Posted on October 5, 2016.</ref>
* Eevee has the most [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branched evolutions]], with a total of eight.
* Eevee has the most evolved forms of any Pokémon and is the only Pokémon that has more than three evolved forms.
* Eevee is the only Pokémon that evolves with a [[Leaf Stone]] that is not a {{type|Grass}}, as well as the only one to evolve by [[Water Stone]] that is not a {{type|Water}}.
* The fan-made term to describe the evolutions of Eevee, [[Eeveelution]]s, was made official after its use in the strategy guide for [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], followed by {{TCG|Eeveelution|a TCG Theme Deck}}.
* In early English promotional material for [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue]], Eevee was called "Eon", the suffix of all of the evolved forms of Eevee.
* In [[Generation I]], Eevee was the only Pokémon to have a branched evolution.
* Eevee is the only Pokémon capable of evolving further that cannot evolve into a Pokémon it shares at least one type with, though {{p|Azurill}} shared this trait prior to it and {{p|Marill}} gaining the {{type|Fairy}} in [[Generation VI]].
* Despite Eevee being obtainable before the {{un|Pokémon League}} in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, it cannot evolve into Leafeon or Glaceon until after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. This is because [[Twist Mountain]] and [[Pinwheel Forest]] are inaccessible before then.
* Eevee is the only pre-existing Pokémon to [[List of cross-generational evolution families|receive an evolution]] in [[Generation VI]], though many received [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* Four of Eevee's evolved forms evolve through abnormal means in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] ({{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}}).
** In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Eevee evolves using the {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Sun Ribbon}} or {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Lunar Ribbon}} with at least 1 star of IQ, a {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Mossy Rock}}, or a {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Frozen Rock}} into its respective evolved forms.
* In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, all of Eevee's evolved forms up to the third generation can be captured; however, Eevee is completely unobtainable. This was changed in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]].
* Despite the fact that {{an|May}}, {{Gary}}, and [[Sakura]] each owned an Eevee that went on to evolve, Eevee was never seen evolving onscreen in the {{pkmn|anime}} until ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', when [[Ursula]] evolved her two Eevee into {{p|Flareon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}} during a Contest appeal, over thirteen years into the anime.
* As a species, Eevee has appeared in the [[Party|teams]] of the most main characters in the anime, with {{an|May}}, {{an|Serena}}, and {{an|Lana}} each owning one.
** This also makes Eevee the only Pokémon species in the anime to have been owned by more than two different main characters.
* Eevee has more [[signature moves]] than any other Pokémon, with a total of eleven.
* Eevee is the only pre-existing Pokémon to [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|receive a gender difference]] after [[Generation IV]].

===Origin===
In the 2018 artbook ''EVs'', [[Motofumi Fujiwara]] revealed that the idea for Eevee came from [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s request to have a Pokémon that evolves into multiple types. Fujiwara himself designed Eevee as a "blank slate" for its varied evolutions; as such, while Eevee has traits of foxes, dogs, and cats, it is not based on any specific animal. Fujiwara also envisioned Eevee as a creature that could exist "in people's memories"; namely, vague memories of seeing a cat or dog-like creature that players might have experienced in their childhood.<ref name=EVs>(2018) ''EVs''.

User:Mister Wu/An Insight into the Dragon Egg Group

2023-01-19T23:39:20Z

Mister Wu: /* Dinosaurs */ A new gen arrived and… not a lot changed. Worth noting how this time we have ice Gojira, kind of a bridge between the Eastern “scary dragon” and the Western “scary lizard”

The concept of ''dragon'' in the Pokémon universe is pretty unclear. While in the recent [[generation]]s {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon are usually referred to as dragons (see for example how [[Raihan]] calls his {{p|Duraludon}}), it should be remembered that even Pokémon that are not Dragon-type are referred to as dragons, the most notable cases being {{p|Seadra}} and {{p|Kingdra}}, the [[Pokémon category|Dragon Pokémon]].

But while the criteria of establishing what is a dragon and what is not a dragon in the Pokémon world are not very clear, three grouping can at least be made which officially bear the ''Dragon'' name in them:

* The group of the {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon
* The group of the ''Dragon Pokémon'' as in [[Pokémon category]]
* The [[Dragon (Egg Group)|Dragon Egg Group]]

This latter group is what caught my attention, since a lot of my favorite Pokémon are there. Plus, '''all of the Dragon Pokémon belong to said group, while not all of them are Dragon-type''', making this group even more interesting. At this point, trying to understand ''why'' Pokémon were put into that group became quite fascinating for me. After a very little research on my part and a much bigger help from the Trivia section of the various Pokémon pages in this wiki, I think a few general groups and a few exceptions can be made, that I'll now try to describe in this subpage.

'''Important note''': in almost every case, '''only the fully evolved member of each [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolution family]] is considered''', as effectively the reason of the inclusion of the whole family in the Dragon Egg Group can be seen in said species, this being particularly evident in the case of {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Milotic}}. The only exception is made for {{p|Seadra}}, since it was aadded in a different generation from {{p|Kingdra}} and since it was known as ''Dragon Pokémon'' even before the addition of the latter and the introduction of the Dragon Egg Group.

==Main groups==
===Dragons===
As the name implies, many Pokémon in the Dragon Egg Group look like dragons, and this aspect alone can be seen as the reason why they are in this group:
====Western dragons====

149Dragonite.png|{{p|Dragonite}}
330Flygon.png|{{p|Flygon}}
373Salamence.png|{{p|Salamence}}
621Druddigon.png|{{p|Druddigon}}
635Hydreigon.png|{{p|Hydreigon}}
887Dragapult.png|{{p|Dragapult}}
</gallery>
====Wyverns====

715Noivern.png|{{p|Noivern}}
780Drampa.png|{{p|Drampa}}
841Flapple.png|{{p|Flapple}}
</gallery>
====Sea serpents====
<gallery>
130Gyarados.png|{{p|Gyarados}}
350Milotic.png|{{p|Milotic}}
</gallery>
====Large serpents====
<gallery>
024Arbok.png|{{p|Arbok}}
336Seviper.png|{{p|Seviper}}
844Sandaconda.png|{{p|Sandaconda}}
</gallery>
One thing that can be noted is that with more recent generations the design tended to steer away from the typical dragon designs, this being especially noticeable in the cases of {{p|Dragapult}} and {{p|Flapple}}.

===Seahorses and seadragons===
In Japanese culture, seahroses are often associated with dragons, and some species related to seahorses are effectively known as ''{{wp|Syngnathidae|seadragon}}s''. This can easily explain the presence of these seahorse-like Pokémon in the Dragon Egg Group:
<gallery>
117Seadra.png|{{p|Seadra}}
230Kingdra.png|{{p|Kingdra}}
691Dragalge.png|{{p|Dragalge}}
</gallery>
As noted before, this connection between these marine animals and dragons is so strong that {{p|Horsea}} and {{p|Seadra}} were known as ''Dragon Pokémon'' even before the Dragon Egg Group existed and before the Dragon type {{p|Kingdra}} was introduced.

===Dinosaurs===
In Japanese, dinosaurs are known as ''Kyōryū'' (「恐竜」), which means ''scary dragons''. Effectively, while the shift from ''{{p|Charmeleon|Lizardo}}'' to ''{{p|Charizard|Lizardon}}'' might be seen as the first case of a reference to this peculiar aspect of Japanese language, with ''-don'' being a typical suffix used for dinosaur names and thus for dragons as well, the first true dinosaur-like Pokémon can rather be seen in {{p|Sceptile}}, with {{p|Haxorus}} being currently the first Pokémon in this group that was confirmed to be based on dinosaurs.<ref>[http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-6/ Translation of several interviews with Game Freak developers].</ref> Quite a few Pokémon in the Dragon Egg Group can be seen as being derived from dinosaurs:
<gallery>
254Sceptile.png|{{p|Sceptile}}
612Haxorus.png|{{p|Haxorus}}
697Tyrantrum.png|{{p|Tyrantrum}}
706Goodra.png|{{p|Goodra}}
784Kommo-o.png|{{p|Kommo-o}}
884Duraludon.png|{{p|Duraludon}}
998Baxcalibur.png|{{p|Baxcalibur}}
</gallery>
It should be noted that, apart for the case of Sceptile, the addition of dinosaurs to the Dragon Egg Group is relatively recent, historically the [[Monster (Egg Group)|Monster Egg Group]] featured most dinosaur-like Pokémon.

==Exceptions==
===Dragon turtle===
This case is not a true exception, but rather a Pokémon that simply '''doesn't belong to any of the above groups'''. It's {{p|Turtonator}}:
<gallery>
776Turtonator.png|{{p|Turtonator}}
</gallery>
Turtles usually belong to the [[Water 1 (Egg group)|Water 1 Egg Group]], with {{p|Drednaw}} confirming this trend as well. While the fire and volcanic motifs can be seen as reasons why the Water 1 Egg Group didn't suit Turtonator very well, they alone aren't a good reason for its inclusion in the Dragon Egg Group. A better reason is more likely to be found in the ''dragon turtle'', a turtle with the head of a dragon of Chinese myth. It's quite possible that Turtonator is inspired by said dragon turtle, as reflected by its {{type|Dragon}} as well.

===Lizards===
In the Japanese language, there is a distinction between dragons, known as either ''Doragon'' (「ドラゴン」) or ''Ryū'' (「竜」), and lizards, known as ''Tokage'' (トカゲ). Therefore, it might be surprising to see a few lizards in the Dragon Egg Group. As we'll see, for two of them we can see a reason to be in this group other than their "lizardness". To investigate it, it will be better to deal with each of them separately.

The first fully-evolved Pokémon in the Dragon Egg Group that only resembles a lizard and not one of the creatures listed before is {{p|Scrafty}}:
<gallery>
560Scrafty.png|{{p|Scrafty}}
</gallery>
This is also the only Pokémon for which I can't find a clear reason of being in this group. Effectively, at the moment its design inspirations aren't very clear as well, with only the mohawk suggesting a {{wp|punk subculture}} motif and the official developer interview naming ''low-worn baggy pants'' as the concept around which the evolution family was designed.<ref>[http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation of an interview with Game Freak developers published in volume 204 of ''Nintendo Dream''.]</ref>

Fortunately, for the next one a clearer reason can be found. It's the Pokémon {{p|Heliolisk}}:
<gallery>
695Heliolisk.png|{{p|Heliolisk}}
</gallery>
Its Japanese name, ''Elezard'', tells us that this Pokémon is based on a lizard, and effectively it resembles the {{wp|Chlamydosaurus|frilled-necked lizard}}. Since said species is known as ''frilled dragon'' as well, it's not surrpsing to see this lizard added to the Dragon Egg Group.

The last one has an interesting connection to dragons. It's {{p|Salazzle}}:
<gallery>
758Salazzle.png|{{p|Salazzle}}
</gallery>
Her Japanese name, ''Ennewt'', tells us that this Pokémon takes inspiration from newts, in particular the {{wp|fire belly newts}}. However, its category, ''Toxic Lizard Pokémon'', also tells us that this Pokémon is based on lizards. And indeed, this Pokémon has a few features in common with the {{wp|Mo'o}}, a dragon lizard of Hawaiian myth: the black-colored body, the female gender and the connection with fire, as the Mo'o appeared when fires were lit on altars. These elements in common with Mo'o can be seen as the reason why Salazzle was included in the Dragon Egg Group.

It is important to note that a few Pokémon related to lizards '''were not included in the Dragon Egg Group''', the most notable cases are the following:
<gallery>
352Kecleon.png|{{p|Kecleon}}
818Inteleon.png|{{p|Inteleon}}
</gallery>
The case of {{p|Inteleon}} is particularly interesting, as while based on a chameleon like {{p|Kecleon}}, it has a few features of {{wp|Draco (genus)|flying lizard}}s, most notably the membranes used to glide. Since flying lizards are known as flying dragons and their genus is known as ''Draco'', it might have seemed straightforward to add it to the Dragon Egg Group, but apparently the same rationale that kept Kecleon out of the that Egg Group was applied and Inteleon became part of the [[Field (Egg Group)|Field Egg Group]] instead. It has to be clarified yet if this is just due to chameleons not deemed to be similar enough to lizards or if being based on lizards is just not enough of a reason to be in the Dragon Egg Group.

===When the name means a lot? The bizarre case of Altaria===
The last Pokémon left to investigate is perhaps the most surprising. It's {{p|Altaria}}:
<gallery>
334Altaria.png|{{p|Altaria}}
</gallery>
While its appearance might be influenced by the mythical bird {{wp|Peng (mythology)|Peng}}, it isn't too farfecthed to consider this Pokémon a {{wp|Bluebird of happiness|bluebird (of happiness)}}. And effectively, its Japanese is ''Tyltalis'', which reminds ''Mytyl'' and ''Tyltyl'', the protagonists of ''{{wp|The Blue Bird (play)|L'Oiseau bleu}}'', a Belgian play about the Blue Bird of Happiness. Then why is this Pokémon Dragon type and part of the Dragon Egg Group? So far the only connection seems to be in the Japanese name: ''Tyl'' is a star also known as ''{{wp|Epsilon Draconis}}'', of the {{wp|Draco (constellation)|Draco constellation}}. Since the Pokémon has ''Tyl'' in the name, this can be seen as the reason why Altaria was related to dragons and thus given the Dragon type and included in the Dragon Egg Group. As an aside, the localization of its name in the West couldn't preserve this reference, making the relationship between Altaria and dragons quite puzzling for the people in the Western countries.

==Conclusions==
Considering how much I like many Pokémon that are in this group, trying to delve into the reasons of why certain Pokémon belonged to this group lead to many nice and surprising discoveries. And a few discoveries still have to be made, in particular regarding {{p|Scrafty}}. I hope the explanation of what I had discovered so far wasn't excessively boring and unclear, and apologize if it was.

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

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it is an ancient relative of {{p|Cyclizar}}. Koraidon has five [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Koraidon and Miraidon|different forms]] when it travels the [[Paldea]] region or adapts to a situation.
*'''Limited Build''' when it has little power.
*'''Sprinting Build''' when traveling swiftly on land.
*'''Swimming Build''' when traveling in the water.
*'''Gliding Build''' when traveling in the skies.
*'''Apex Build''' during battle and full strength.

Koraidon is the [[game mascot]] appearing on the box art of {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet}}. It is a [[Paradox Pokémon]], also known as the "Winged King" (Japanese: '''ツバサノオウ''' ''Tsubasano'ou'').

==Biology==
Apex Build Koraidon is a large reptilian Pokémon. Most of its body is scarlet in color, with white accents on its cheeks, abdomen, legs, and tail. Its head features a large plume and a pair of long, thin, twisted antennae; its rear has a similar, much larger plume. These plumes and antennae are white in color, and blue-purple at the base. It has yellow eyes with brown pupils, webbed feet, and blue features on its elbows and shoulders, as well as blue frills running down its neck. On its chest is a large circular protrusion which resembles a rubber tire. Its texture and black coloration is similar to the base of its tail, and it can inflate or deflate as needed.

Limited Build Koraidon walks on all four. The head and rear plumes are closed and folded. The chest throat is pulled in, leaving out the rubber tire-like protrusion. The membrane on all four legs is not visible as the central fingers and toes are kept in close contact with each other. Koraidon assumes this form either when weakened or not battling.

Koraidon has the ability to change its form in order to facilitate travel. Sprinting Build Koraidon tucks in its tail and runs on all fours, moving at very fast speeds using its powerful legs. This form also allows Koraidon to climb cliffs. Swimming Build Koraidon can float in the water by turning its throat into a flotation device and using the membrane between its feet to swim. Gliding Build Koraidon can fly by unravelling its twisted tendrils into wings, allowing it to glide through the sky.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

Koraidon was brought to the current era through a time machine created by [[Professor Sada]] but different from the other [[Paradox Pokémon]]. She was capable of only bringing two of them, and is also the one who coined Koraidon's name. According to [[Scarlet Book]], Koraidon is known as the ''Winged King'' and said to be a burlier and more ferocious ancestor of {{p|Cyclizar}}. It is powerful enough to break the land with just its bare fists.

Koraidon is aware of its own impressive strength and derives confidence from this fact, never feeling threatened by its opponents. It is capricious and curious enough to sometimes play with humans, despite usually being cautious of them. While fighting in its Apex Build, Koraidon dominates its opponents using its immense strength and the many natural weapons available to it, including its tough jaws and fangs, sharp claws, and thick, powerful tail. Its legs are strong enough that Koraidon can leap over 65 feet into the air, using both its own body weight and the momentum of falling from such a height to unleash crushing kicks and brutal body slams.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/koraidon/</ref>

Koraidon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Collision Course}}.

==Trivia==
* Koraidon and {{p|Miraidon}} are the only [[Paradox Pokémon]] whose names follow regular Pokémon naming conventions.
** Additionally, they are the only Paradox Pokémon to each have their own unique Abilities.
* Of all Pokémon, Koraidon and Miraidon have the highest number of forms that are obtainable in some capacity yet unusable in battle, as they each use three forms solely for travel and are obtained in their fourth ‘low-power’ forms, yet can only battle in their ‘high-power’ forms.
** {{p|Rotom}} has five forms that are unusable in battle (Pokédex, Phone, Bike, Rotomi, Drone), but Rotomi and Rotom Drone are completely unobtainable.
* The builds of Koraidon in Japanese and Korean use the native words from their respective language, showing tradition and the past, while the modes of {{p|Miraidon}} in the same languages use borrowed words from English, showing modernity.

===Origin===
Koraidon may be based on lizards, most notably the {{wp|Dactyloidae|anole}} and the genera ''{{wp|Sitana}}'' and ''{{wp|Sarada (lizard)|Sarada}}'' — the latter two are collectively known as fan-throated lizards. It also has traits from other lizard species, namely the frills of the {{wp|iguana}}, the feet of the {{wp|gecko}}, and the prehensile tail of the {{wp|chameleon}}. It also has traits of {{wp|dinosaur}}s; its feathers may be a reference to {{wp|feathered dinosaur}}s, while its bipedal stance in its Apex Build is reminiscent of {{wp|theropod}} dinosaurs. Furthermore, its signature move of {{m|Collision Course}} alludes to the asteroid that caused the {{wp|Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event}}, which eliminated most dinosaur species on Earth. As they're displayed mostly on the head and in the waist area, the colorful feathers might be reference to ancient cultures in general, as opposed to Miraidon's futuristic look. Ancient civilizations (notably Central and South American) and tribes often used bird feathers as ornaments and symbol of status. Some elements of its design may be based on parts of a motorcycle: its antennae and shoulders are similar to handlebars, and the protrusion on its chest together with its tail resemble rubber tires, the latter especially when curled.

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

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

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

'''Salazzle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エンニュート''' ''Ennewt'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from [[Gender|female]] {{P|Salandit}} starting at [[level]] 33. Male Salandit are not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
[[File:Salazzle Sticking Window.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Salazzle sticking to a window in [[Salazzle (Unified Minds 34)|an illustration for the Trading Card Game]].]]
Salazzle is a dark gray {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a salamander or lizard. Its thin body has a purple underside with several wavy, dark pink markings: a U-shaped marking with two additional lines inside on its chest and one on each hip resembling wisps of smoke. The dark gray on its head and neck extends slightly onto its chest in a V-shape. It has a slender head with purple, almond-shaped eyes with slit pupils and two fang-like projections on each side of its lower jaw. There are two thin, wavy growths on its back at the base of its tail, which is whip-like with a dark pink underside. Its hands and feet each have five long, thin digits, with dark pink palms that can unleash flames. Salazzle is a female-only species with no known male counterpart, as the male Salandit cannot evolve due to malnutrition.

Salazzle can be found deep in caves with a reverse {{wp|harem}} of male {{p|Salandit}}. Salazzle emits a poisonous gas that contains sweet-smelling pheromones, which attracts the males. The gas can also be diluted to make perfumes. Salazzle forces the male Salandit it has attracted to serve it and bring it food, and those that are unable to are punished with flaming slaps. Salazzle fight with each other over male Salandit; the winner is the one with the most male Salandit in its harem.

As shown by the main series since [[Generation VIII]], Salazzle normally stands and walks on all fours, standing on her hind legs only in specific moments such as when battling or interacting with her trainer. Illustrations for the Trading Card Game also showed how she’s able to stick to surfaces with her hands and feet, allowing her to walk on all fours even on vertical and upside-down surfaces.

In [[Generation IX]], {{m|Fire Lash}} is its [[signature move]]. Prior to Generation IX, {{a|Corrosion}} was its [[Signature Ability|signature]] [[Ability]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Lusamine Salazzle.png|thumb|250px|Salazzle in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Salazzle debuted in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', under the ownership of {{an|Lusamine}}. With both Salazzle and her {{pkmn|Trainer}} under the influence of a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}}, {{an|Kiawe}} volunteered to stay behind and battle Salazzle while {{Ash}} and {{ashcl|the others}} continued their pursuit atop [[Nebby]]. She was eventually defeated, but in [[SM054|the next episode]], Nihilego made her get back up and continue battling until the {{an|Ultra Beasts|Ultra Beast}} was defeated, freeing her from its control.

A Salazzle appeared in ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', under the ownership of [[Plumeria]]. She competed in the [[Battle Royal]] round of the [[Manalo Conference]], where she went up against [[Ilima]] and his {{p|Eevee}}. Despite Plumeria's efforts, Salazzle was defeated.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Salazzle appears to be based on a salamander—both the poisonous real kind and the fire-associated {{wp|salamanders in folklore|mythical kind}}—and lizards of the {{wp|Teiidae}} family, also known as "whiptails". Certain whiptail species have a mostly female population, some species even being female exclusive, one of which is the {{wp|New Mexico whiptail}}. It may also be partially based on {{wp|fire belly newts}}.

Additionally, it may be inspired by the ''mo'o'', a mythical dragon-like lizard of Hawaiian myth. Generally, ''mo'o'' are depicted as large female lizards, which have scales that are black as night, and which would shape-shift into seductive women to devour men. They would also appear when fire was lit near or around their dwellings.

====Name origin====
Salazzle may be a combination of ''salamander'' and ''dazzle'' or ''sizzle''.

Ennewt may be a combination of 炎 ''en'' (flame) or 艶 ''en'' (bewitching) and ''newt''.

'''Kommo-o''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジャラランガ''' ''Jyararanga'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Fighting}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Hakamo-o}} starting at [[level]] 45. It is the final form of {{p|Jangmo-o}}.

==Biology==
Kommo-o is a bipedal, reptilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered in scaly armor. Most of its body is gray with some lighter gray areas as well as yellow and red markings. It has a rounded, beak-ish snout and small eyes nearly hidden under its head armor. On the tip of its snout is a patch of pale gray and both the upper and lower jaws have a small, tooth-like spike on each side. The top of its head is covered by an elaborate arrangement of scales. At the front of the headdress is an oval scale, which is yellow with a red heart-shape at the base. On either side of the front scale is a chain of four circular scales; the first three scales are red with yellow trim and the last scale is solid yellow. Three additional chains of plain yellow scales extend from the back of the headdress. Running down the front of its long neck is a line of overlapping scales: one solid gray at the top, three larger gray ones with yellow rims, and one solid yellow scale at the bottom. A thick yellow stripe with a rounded projection in the center runs across its chest. Covering its shoulders are tufts of spiky, white feathers with small, gray scales overlapping them. Four overlapping scales cover the tops of its arms: three are gray with yellow edges and the scales that cover its hands are red with yellow edges.

Kommo-o has four scaly chains, all of which consist of four scales, extending from just behind its shoulders. The two foremost chains are made of overlapping scales and have a solid gray scale at the top followed by three scales with yellow edges. The other two chains consist of only solid gray scales and do not appear to overlap. The lower halves of its legs are dark gray and there is a pale gray marking across each knee. Its hands have four yellow claws, while the feet have only three. A long line of slightly raised, pale gray scales runs down the center of its back to about halfway up its tapering tail. Near the tip of its tail are three sets of loose scales that increase in size near the tip. Each set is made up of four separate scales that encircle the tail; the two lower sets are solid yellow, while the set nearest the tip have gray centers. The very tip of its tail is pale gray.

Kommo-o, having completed its harsh training, returns to its birthplace to protect {{p|Jangmo-o}}. However, it only watches over them from a distance. The power of this Pokémon's uppercut is enough to send foes flying, so simply raising its arms can generate enough force to change its surroundings. According to legend, Kommo-o's glittering scales are meant to drive away a great darkness. The reason it seeks strong opponents is also said to be a quest for power to defeat the darkness.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/kommo-o/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Kommo-o]</ref> Its scales function as both offensive weapons and defensive shields. Because it does not wish to fight weak foes, it clangs its scales together when it senses someone approaching. Weak or cowardly opponents will panic at this sound and flee immediately.

While the anime showed that Kommo-o is capable of bipedal locomotion, the main series since [[Generation VIII]] showed that it vastly prefers to walk and run around by [[wp:Knuckle-walking| knuckle-walking]].

Kommo-o is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Clanging Scales}} and {{m|Clangorous Soul}}. Kommo-o is also the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Clangorous Soulblaze}}.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Kommo-o appears to be based on a {{wp|Theropoda|theropod}} {{wp|dinosaur}} with some traits from {{wp|Ankylosauria|ankylosaurs}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|monk}}. Kommo-o's tail bears resemblance to a {{wp|khakkhara}} (monk staff), and it is even used in a similar fashion. The fact that it uses its scales to produce sound may also reference {{wp|cymbal}}s and {{wp|castanets}}. Kommo-o also bears a striking resemblance to a {{wp|pangolin}}.

====Name origin====
Kommo-o may be a combination of ''commotion'' (in reference to the noises produced by its scales) and ''mo'o'' (Hawaiian for lizard or dragon). It may also incorporate ''combat'', ''commander'', and ''komodo'' as in the {{wp|Komodo dragon}}.

Jyararanga may derive from ジャラジャラ ''jarajara'' (onomatopoetic sound for jingling), ''dragon'', and ガランガラン ''garangaran'' (onomatopoetic sound for clanging).

'''Salazzle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エンニュート''' ''Ennewt'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from [[Gender|female]] {{P|Salandit}} starting at [[level]] 33. Male Salandit are not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
[[File:Salazzle Sticking Window.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Salazzle sticking to a window in [[Salazzle (Unified Minds 34)|an illustration for the Trading Card Game]].]]
Salazzle is a dark gray {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a salamander or lizard. Its thin body has a purple underside with several wavy, dark pink markings: a U-shaped marking with two additional lines inside on its chest and one on each hip resembling wisps of smoke. The dark gray on its head and neck extends slightly onto its chest in a V-shape. It has a slender head with purple, almond-shaped eyes with slit pupils and two fang-like projections on each side of its lower jaw. There are two thin, wavy growths on its back at the base of its tail, which is whip-like with a dark pink underside. Its hands and feet each have five long, thin digits, with dark pink palms that can unleash flames. Salazzle is a female-only species with no known male counterpart, as the male Salandit cannot evolve due to malnutrition.

Salazzle can be found deep in caves with a reverse {{wp|harem}} of male {{p|Salandit}}. Salazzle emits a poisonous gas that contains sweet-smelling pheromones, which attracts the males. The gas can also be diluted to make perfumes. Salazzle forces the male Salandit it has attracted to serve it and bring it food, and those that are unable to are punished with flaming slaps. Salazzle fight with each other over male Salandit; the winner is the one with the most male Salandit in its harem. In [[Generation IX]], {{m|Fire Lash}} is its [[signature move]]. Prior to Generation IX, {{a|Corrosion}} was its [[Signature Ability|signature]] [[Ability]].

As shown by the main series since [[Generation VIII]], Salazzle normally stands and walks on all fours, standing on her hind legs only in specific moments such as when battling or interacting with her trainer. Illustrations for the Trading Card Game also showed how she’s able to stick to surfaces with her hands and feet, allowing her to walk on all fours even on vertical and upside-down surfaces.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lusamine Salazzle.png|thumb|250px|Salazzle in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Salazzle debuted in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', under the ownership of {{an|Lusamine}}. With both Salazzle and her {{pkmn|Trainer}} under the influence of a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}}, {{an|Kiawe}} volunteered to stay behind and battle Salazzle while {{Ash}} and {{ashcl|the others}} continued their pursuit atop [[Nebby]]. She was eventually defeated, but in [[SM054|the next episode]], Nihilego made her get back up and continue battling until the {{an|Ultra Beasts|Ultra Beast}} was defeated, freeing her from its control.

A Salazzle appeared in ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', under the ownership of [[Plumeria]]. She competed in the [[Battle Royal]] round of the [[Manalo Conference]], where she went up against [[Ilima]] and his {{p|Eevee}}. Despite Plumeria's efforts, Salazzle was defeated.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Salazzle appears to be based on a salamander—both the poisonous real kind and the fire-associated {{wp|salamanders in folklore|mythical kind}}—and lizards of the {{wp|Teiidae}} family, also known as "whiptails". Certain whiptail species have a mostly female population, some species even being female exclusive, one of which is the {{wp|New Mexico whiptail}}. It may also be partially based on {{wp|fire belly newts}}.

Additionally, it may be inspired by the ''mo'o'', a mythical dragon-like lizard of Hawaiian myth. Generally, ''mo'o'' are depicted as large female lizards, which have scales that are black as night, and which would shape-shift into seductive women to devour men. They would also appear when fire was lit near or around their dwellings.

====Name origin====
Salazzle may be a combination of ''salamander'' and ''dazzle'' or ''sizzle''.

Ennewt may be a combination of 炎 ''en'' (flame) or 艶 ''en'' (bewitching) and ''newt''.

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

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it appears to be an ancient relative of {{p|Cyclizar}}. Koraidon has five [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Koraidon and Miraidon|different forms]] when it travels the [[Paldea]] region or adapts to a situation.
*'''Limited Build''' when it has little power.
*'''Sprinting Build''' when traveling swiftly on land.
*'''Swimming Build''' when traveling in the water.
*'''Gliding Build''' when traveling in the skies.
*'''Apex Build''' during battle and full strength.

Koraidon is the [[game mascot]] appearing on the box art of {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet}}. It is a [[Paradox Pokémon]], also known as the "Winged King" (Japanese: '''ツバサノオウ''' ''Tsubasano'ou'').

==Biology==
Apex Build Koraidon is a large reptilian Pokémon. Most of its body is scarlet in color, with white accents on its cheeks, abdomen, legs, and tail. Its head features a large plume and a pair of long, thin, twisted antennae; its rear has a similar, much larger plume. These plumes and antennae are white in color, and blue-purple at the base. It has yellow eyes with brown pupils, webbed feet, and blue features on its elbows and shoulders, as well as blue frills running down its neck. On its chest is a large circular protrusion which resembles a rubber tire. Its texture and black coloration is similar to the base of its tail, and it can inflate or deflate as needed.

Limited Build Koraidon walks on all four. The head and rear plumes are closed and folded. The chest throat is pulled in, leaving out the rubber tire-like protrusion. The membrane on all four legs is not visible as the central fingers and toes are kept in close contact with each other. Koraidon assumes this form when weakened, this is also its normal form outside of battles.

Koraidon has the ability to change its form in order to facilitate travel. Sprinting Build Koraidon tucks in its tail and runs on all fours, moving at very fast speeds using its powerful legs. This form also allows Koraidon to climb cliffs. Swimming Build Koraidon can float in the water by turning its throat into a flotation device and using the membrane between its feet to swim. Gliding Build Koraidon can fly by unravelling its twisted tendrils into wings, allowing it to glide through the sky.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

Koraidon was brought to the current era through a time machine created by [[Professor Sada]] but different from the other [[Paradox Pokémon]]. She was capable of only bringing two of them, and is also the one who coined Koraidon's name. Koraidon is known as the ''Winged King'' and said to be a burlier and more ferocious ancestor of {{p|Cyclizar}}. It is powerful enough to break the land with just its bare fists.

Koraidon is aware of its own impressive strength and derives confidence from this fact, never feeling threatened by its opponents. It is capricious and curious enough to sometimes play with humans, despite usually being cautious of them. While fighting in its Apex Build, Koraidon dominates its opponents using its immense strength and the many natural weapons available to it, including its tough jaws and fangs, sharp claws, and thick, powerful tail. Its legs are strong enough that Koraidon can leap over 65 feet into the air, using both its own body weight and the momentum of falling from such a height to unleash crushing kicks and brutal body slams.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/koraidon/</ref>

Koraidon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Collision Course}}.

==Trivia==
* Koraidon and {{p|Miraidon}} are the only [[Paradox Pokémon]] whose names follow regular Pokémon naming conventions.
** Additionally, they are the only Paradox Pokémon to each have their own unique Abilities.
* Of all Pokémon, Koraidon and Miraidon have the highest number of forms that are obtainable in some capacity yet unusable in battle, as they each use three forms solely for travel and are obtained in their fourth ‘low-power’ forms, yet can only battle in their ‘high-power’ forms.
** {{p|Rotom}} has five forms that are unusable in battle (Pokédex, Phone, Bike, Rotomi, Drone), but Rotomi and Rotom Drone are completely unobtainable.
* The builds of Koraidon in Japanese and Korean use the native words from their respective language, showing tradition and the past, while the modes of {{p|Miraidon}} in the same languages use borrowed words from English, showing modernity.

===Origin===
Koraidon may be based on lizards, most notably the {{wp|Dactyloidae|anole}} and the genera ''{{wp|Sitana}}'' and ''{{wp|Sarada (lizard)|Sarada}}'' — the latter two are collectively known as fan-throated lizards. It also has traits from other lizard species, namely the frills of the {{wp|iguana}}, the feet of the {{wp|gecko}}, and the prehensile tail of the {{wp|chameleon}}. It also has traits of {{wp|dinosaur}}s; its feathers may be a reference to {{wp|feathered dinosaur}}s, while its bipedal stance in its Apex Build is reminiscent of {{wp|theropod}} dinosaurs. Furthermore, its signature move of {{m|Collision Course}} alludes to the asteroid that caused the {{wp|Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event}}, which eliminated most dinosaur species on Earth. As they're displayed mostly on the head and in the waist area, the colorful feathers might be reference to ancient cultures in general, as opposed to Miraidon's futuristic look. Ancient civilizations (notably Central and South American) and tribes often used bird feathers as ornaments and symbol of status. Some elements of its design may be based on parts of a motorcycle: its antennae and shoulders are similar to handlebars, and the protrusion on its chest together with its tail resemble rubber tires, the latter especially when curled.

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

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

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

Mister Wu: /* Pokémon */ these two, I didn’t expect

[[Image:Atsuko Nishida.jpg|thumb|Atsuko Nishida in 2018]]
'''Atsuko Nishida''' (Japanese: '''西田敦子''' / '''にしだあつこ''' ''Nishida Atsuko'') is a graphic artist who has been involved with several aspects of the Pokémon franchise since it began. She was part of the graphics team on ''{{wp|Pulseman}}'', one of [[Game Freak]]'s most successful early titles, working alongside Pokémon creator [[Satoshi Tajiri]] and artist [[Ken Sugimori]]. During the development of the first [[Pokémon games]], she helped design key characters and several Pokémon, notably the cuter ones as opposed to the tougher ones.

Nishida is a character designer for the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, {{p|Pikachu}}. She stated that first design of Pikachu looked like a vertically long {{wp|daifuku}} rice confection with ears.<ref>[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DcLay_vVMAA2Q7G.jpg:orig Pikachu was a squirrel at first - Yomiuri newspaper] (Japanese, [https://twitter.com/hinopika/status/991595452448493569 images by Hinopika], overview by [http://the-japan-news.com/news/article/0004412363 The Japan News])</ref> She also modeled Pikachu's cheeks, which are used to store electricity, after squirrels storing food in their cheeks.<ref>[http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/ichiran/20180501-OYT8T50139.html?page_no=1 Pikachu is a daifuku? - Yomiuri Shimbun (Page 1)] (Japanese, translation by [http://www.siliconera.com/2018/05/03/pikachu-originally-second-evolution-called-gorochu-large-fangs-two-horns/ Siliconera], excerpts by [https://twitter.com/DogasusBackpack/status/991698132651069440?s=19 Dogasu])</ref> Nishida is also a fan of {{p|Eevee}} and the [[Eeveelution]]s, having personally designed all of the Eeveelutions except for {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Flareon}}.<ref name=EVs/><ref name=Tweet/>

She also contributed to the conceptual design of characters that appeared in the first few [[Pokémon movie]]s. Nishida has continued to work within many areas of the franchise, credited on the majority of the main series games, movies, and produced an array of original illustrations for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. She is also the illustrator for the mini-comic series titled ''Together with Pokémon!'' (Japanese: ポケモンといっしょ！) for a monthly children magazine ''Chara Pafe'' (Japanese: キャラぱふぇ).

===TCG illustrations===
Nishida has produced illustrations for the TCG since the some of the earliest Japanese promotional cards, though her first in regular expansions was in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set. Nishida's style is distinctive, using an airbrush technique with a soft palette of colors that is easy on the eyes and convey the feeling that the portrayed Pokémon is at one with their environment. Light is also a large factor, using it to highlight key areas of the overall image to maintain the "soft" aspect. For a list of cards she has illustrated, go [[:Category:Illus. by Atsuko Nishida|here]].

==In-game appearances==
===Generations I, III, and VII===
A character named '''Sara''' (Japanese: アツコ ''Atsuko'') may be a cameo of Atsuko Nishida in the Japanese version of all [[Generation I]] games, as well as their [[Generation III]] and [[Generation VII|VII]] remakes.

She is found in the {{safari|Kanto}}{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/1|FRLG}}/[[GO Park]]{{sup/7|PE}}, looking for Erik (Japanese: コージ ''Kōji''), which may be a cameo of [[Kōji Nishino]]; he is found in [[Fuchsia City]]. In the Japanese version, they failed to meet each other due to a misunderstanding on the word "とり" (tori), which is also a pun. Erik used a bird Pokémon to arrive at Fuchsia City ("tori Pokémon" means "bird Pokémon"), while Sara is waiting for him inside the Safari Zone or GO Park ("Pokémon tori" means "obtain Pokémon").

This pun was [[List of localization changes in the Pokémon games|lost in the English localizations]]. Additionally, in the English version of the Generation I and III games, Sara says that Erik is her boyfriend (which is not the case in the Japanese version).

====Quotes====
;Japanese version
:''"Atsuko: I asked Koji to go catch Pokémon with me... but where is he!?"'' (literal translation)
:"アツコ『ポケモンとりに　いこうって　いった　のに……コージ　どこなのよ！"{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}
:"アツコ『ポケモンとりに　行こうって　言ったのに…… 　コージ　どこなのよ！"{{sup/7|PE}}

;English version
:''"Sara: Where did my boy friend, Erik, go?"''{{sup/1|RBY}}
:''"Sara: Where did my boyfriend, Erik, go?"''{{sup/3|FRLG}}
:''"Sara: Now where did Erik go...? He's the one who wanted to come here!"''{{sup/7|PE}}

==Trivia==
* Atsuko Nishida is the only person who has been credited as a Pokémon designer in every [[generation]].
* In an interview with the character designers of ''Pokémon'' in 2018, Nishida said that {{p|Pikachu}} was supposed to have a third [[evolution]] stage after {{p|Raichu}}, which was named "Gorochu" (Japanese: ゴロチュウ). [[Ken Sugimori]] stated that it was scrapped for game balance reasons.<ref name=Pokemon.com />
* Nishida's favorite Pokémon is {{p|Charizard}}.<ref name=Pokemon.com />

Talk:Red's Pikachu

2022-09-20T08:15:50Z

Mister Wu: /* All right... */ Pokémon Masters further supports the possibility that Mt. Silver’s Pikachu is just a Pikachu who was caught early

==Useful article?==
Ummm... isn't the Pikachu you get in Yellow pretty much as variant as any other starter? If we have an article on Red's Pikachu, what's to say we shouldn't on Red's/Leaf's/Blue's Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur (and I mean the game ones), Gold's/Silver's/Kris's Typhlosion, Feraligatr, and Meganium, and so on? Heck, for those, the articles would need to be separate for the player characters' Pokémon, because while most do evolve their starter all the way, you can still choose not to. I move for a redirection to [[Starter Pokémon]]. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:53, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
:Actually, I didn't see much of a point for the creation of this article either (even if I did clean it up a bit). So, if you want to make it a redirect to [[Starter Pokémon]], I have no objections. --[[User:Obake|Obake]] 01:41, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
::This one is the starter you can write the most about so the question is whether that is notable enough, not whether the other starters should get articles. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 11:12, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
wouldn't it be better if this was made for the manga? {{unsigned|Sonicflames}}

==Special==
Red's team in GSC is based on Pokemon obtainable in Yellow. It is ''not'' based on Pokemon Special.
*Pikachu - Starter
*Charizard - Obtained from Damien
*Blastoise - Obtained from Jenny
*Venusaur - Obtained from Melanie
*Snorlax - Caught with Poke Flute
*Espeon - Found in Celadon Mansion
[[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 21:38, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
==Other Pikachu==
If you trade another Pikachu from Red/Blue to Yellow, will it behave the same to the starter Pikachu? Will it accept a thunderstone? [[User:PokemonTrainer7738|PokemonTrainer7738]] 17:31, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
:It will not act like the starter Pikachu. It will accept a Thunderstone. [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 01:20, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

== Heart Gold Soul Silver ==

In the trivia section it says "This has been changed so that the first Pokémon in the player's party will follow him or her." Has this been confirmed yet? {{unsigned|Jats605}}
:Always sign comments with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> and yes. --[[User:CuboneKing|Cu]][[User talk:CuboneKing|bo]][[Special:Contributions/CuboneKing|ne]][[Cubone (Pokémon)|King]] 03:03, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

==Pikachu emotions==

I only did this once, so someone might have to check it before they put it in, but, I think if you let Pikachu be put to sleep by Jigglypuff (In Pewter City) And then either walk out of sight or leave it there for a while (I don't know which) Pikachu will shock you if you talk to him (similar to if he knows Thunder Bolt, or Thunder)
for a while, then will cool down and if you talk to him a poison symbol will appear above his head (I believe it means "Die") and he will look away. I'm at Cerulean Cave (entrance) and he still hates me, but if he changes I'll post it here. [[User:PichuMaster|PichuMaster]] 16:28, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
:Sometimes instead of the "Die" thing, he'll just turn away and blink a few times, but it's rare. [[User:PichuMaster|PichuMaster]] 16:37, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
::Don't worry. After a few (about 500) steps he'll go back to normal. He did with me... [[User:SpecialK|SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch]] 17:48, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

== Merge? ==

Could we merge the following pages? [[Pika]], [[Red's Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)]], [[Red's Pikachu (game)]], [[Chuchu]]? I could even see it possible to merge with [[Ash's Pikachu]], but that's a stretch. [[User:Jdrawer|Jdrawer]] ([[User talk:Jdrawer|talk]]) 01:57, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

== Article image ==

How exactly does the Pikachu from Jou's Big Adventure represent the '''games''' version of Red's Pikachu? I highly doubt that manga is canon to the games. That's like putting Satoshi's Pikachu as the main image. [[User:Fang-tan|Fang-tan]] ([[User talk:Fang-tan|talk]])

== Stadium ==

According to this archive of [https://web.archive.org/web/20010126094000/http://www.pokemon.no:80/products/stad_secrets.htm Nintendo of Norway], Pikachu from Pokémon Yellow uses the special voice from Yellow as its cry rather than a generic Pikachu cry. Currently, this page only says Pikachu from Yellow do this in Stadium 2. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:04, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

== All right... ==

Why does this article seem to assume by default that the Pikachu used by Red in the games where he's an NPC is the one he received as a starter in Yellow? It could just as well be a Pikachu he caught himself. Especially considering that one of those games (HGSS) is a sequel to FRLG, where it's impossible to get Pikachu as a starter. Other games like BW2 used the FRLG/HGSS designs for Red and others, implying that they treat the remakes as the canon versions, as opposed to Yellow. And there is LGPE where Red has Pikachu yet it's implied that his starter was Bulbasaur (just like Blue and Green's starters were implied to be Charmander and Squirtle respectively). There is also the fact that none of the official adaptations that featured Red as the main character made Pikachu his starter -- they all had him catch it. [[User:Golden Trainer|Golden Trainer]] ([[User talk:Golden Trainer|talk]]) 06:37, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

:How about rewriting the opening into something like this:

:"'''Red's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''レッドのピカチュウ''' ''Red's Pikachu'') is one of Red's signature Pokémon. In {{game|Yellow}}, he's the sole [[starter Pokémon]], being based on [[Ash's Pikachu]] from the [[Pokémon anime]]. In other games, it's possible for Red to catch Pikachu in the wild instead. As of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, he is the highest-leveled Trainer-owned Pokémon in the main series games."

:I feel this covers all bases. Anyone opposed? [[User:Golden Trainer|Golden Trainer]] ([[User talk:Golden Trainer|talk]]) 13:45, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
::It's not necessary. That would be conflating Red with the player character, which Red is not. [[User:ArcToraphim|Kai]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 00:55, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
:::I mean, the article is ''already'' conflating Yellow!Pikachu with Red's Pikachu from other games, even in instances where Yellow is treated as non-canon (particularly in the "As an opponent" section). It's literally about all instances of a Pikachu owned by Red (even including pre-Yellow Sugimori art of Red with Pikachu), not just Yellow!Pikachu. [[User:Golden Trainer|Golden Trainer]] ([[User talk:Golden Trainer|talk]]) 07:16, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

About this, ‘’Pokémon Masters EX’’ explicitly indicates that Mt. Silver’s Pikachu was caught in Viridian Forest, which would also explain why he stays in Poké Balls while still being high leveled. While of course Pokémon Masters has its own continuity, it further supports the notion that the Pikachu fought in Mt. Silver might not necessarily be Red’s starter Pikachu in Pokémon Yellow, which is already suggested by him staying in Poké Balls.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 08:15, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Mister Wu: /* Pokémon */ addign Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark

[[Image:Atsuko Nishida.jpg|thumb|Atsuko Nishida in 2018]]
'''Atsuko Nishida''' (Japanese: '''西田敦子''' / '''にしだあつこ''') is a graphic artist who has been involved with several aspects of the Pokémon franchise since it began. She was part of the graphics team on ''{{wp|Pulseman}}'', one of [[Game Freak]]'s most successful early titles, working alongside Pokémon creator [[Satoshi Tajiri]] and artist [[Ken Sugimori]]. During the development of the first [[Pokémon games]], she helped design key characters and several Pokémon, notably the cuter ones as opposed to the tougher ones.

Nishida is a character designer for the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, {{p|Pikachu}}. She stated that first design of Pikachu looked like a vertically long {{wp|daifuku}} rice confection with ears.<ref>[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DcLay_vVMAA2Q7G.jpg:orig Pikachu was a squirrel at first - Yomiuri newspaper] (Japanese, [https://twitter.com/hinopika/status/991595452448493569 images by Hinopika], overview by [http://the-japan-news.com/news/article/0004412363 The Japan News])</ref> She also modeled Pikachu's cheeks, which are used to store electricity, after squirrels storing food in their cheeks.<ref>[http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/ichiran/20180501-OYT8T50139.html?page_no=1 Pikachu is a daifuku? - Yomiuri Shimbun (Page 1)] (Japanese, translation by [http://www.siliconera.com/2018/05/03/pikachu-originally-second-evolution-called-gorochu-large-fangs-two-horns/ Siliconera], excerpts by [https://twitter.com/DogasusBackpack/status/991698132651069440?s=19 Dogasu])</ref> Nishida is also a fan of {{p|Eevee}} and the [[Eeveelution]]s and personally designed {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, {{p|Glaceon}},<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20071113053426/www.pokemon-card.com/lab/entry/071016_180.html Pokémon Card Game website]</ref> and {{p|Sylveon}}<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20131030135359/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Pokémon designer interview with Famitsu, translated by the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine]</ref>.

She also contributed to the conceptual design of characters that appeared in the first few [[Pokémon movie]]s. Nishida has continued to work within many areas of the franchise, credited on the majority of the main series games, movies, and produced an array of original illustrations for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. She is also the illustrator for the mini-comic series titled ''Together with Pokémon!'' (Japanese: ポケモンといっしょ！) for a monthly children magazine ''Chara Pafe'' (Japanese: キャラぱふぇ).

===TCG illustrations===
Nishida has produced illustrations for the TCG since the some of the earliest Japanese promotional cards, though her first in regular expansions was in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set. Nishida's style is distinctive, using an airbrush technique with a soft palette of colors that is easy on the eyes and convey the feeling that the portrayed Pokémon is at one with their environment. Light is also a large factor, using it to highlight key areas of the overall image to maintain the "soft" aspect. For a list of cards she has illustrated, go [[:Category:Illus. by Atsuko Nishida|here]].

==In-game appearances==
===Generations I, III, and VII===
A character named '''Sara''' (Japanese: アツコ ''Atsuko'') may be a cameo of Atsuko Nishida in the Japanese version of all [[Generation I]] games, as well as their [[Generation III]] and [[Generation VII|VII]] remakes.

She is found in the {{safari|Kanto}}{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/1|FRLG}}/[[GO Park]]{{sup/7|PE}}, looking for Erik (Japanese: コージ ''Kōji''), which may be a cameo of [[Kōji Nishino]]; he is found in [[Fuchsia City]]. In the Japanese version, they failed to meet each other due to a misunderstanding on the word "とり" (tori), which is also a pun. Erik used a bird Pokémon to arrive at Fuchsia City ("tori Pokémon" means "bird Pokémon"), while Sara is waiting for him inside the Safari Zone or GO Park ("Pokémon tori" means "obtain Pokémon").

This pun was [[List of localization changes in the Pokémon games|lost in the English localizations]]. Additionally, in the English version of the Generation I and III games, Sara says that Erik is her boyfriend (which is not the case in the Japanese version).

====Quotes====
;Japanese version
:''"Atsuko: I asked Koji to go catch Pokémon with me... but where is he!?"'' (literal translation)
:"アツコ『ポケモンとりに　いこうって　いった　のに……コージ　どこなのよ！"{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}
:"アツコ『ポケモンとりに　行こうって　言ったのに…… 　コージ　どこなのよ！"{{sup/7|PE}}

;English version
:''"Sara: Where did my boy friend, Erik, go?"''{{sup/1|RBY}}
:''"Sara: Where did my boyfriend, Erik, go?"''{{sup/3|FRLG}}
:''"Sara: Now where did Erik go...? He's the one who wanted to come here!"''{{sup/7|PE}}

==Trivia==
* In an interview with the character designers of ''Pokémon'' in 2018, Nishida said that {{p|Pikachu}} was supposed to have a third [[evolution]] stage after {{p|Raichu}}, which was named "Gorochu" (Japanese: ゴロチュウ). [[Ken Sugimori]] stated that it was scrapped due to the game balance.<ref>[http://www.pokemon.co.jp/corporate/pikachu/ The Untold Story of Pikachu's Creation - Pokemon.co.jp (Japanese)]</ref>
* Nishida's favorite Pokémon is {{p|Charizard}}.<ref>[http://www.pokemon.co.jp/corporate/pikachu/page_02.html The Untold Story of Pikachu's Creation (Page 2) - Pokemon.co.jp (Japanese)]</ref>

'''Salazzle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エンニュート''' ''Ennewt'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

[[Gender|Female]] {{P|Salandit}} [[Evolution|evolve]] into Salazzle starting at [[level]] 33. Male Salandit are not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
==Biology==
[[File:Salazzle Sticking Window.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Salazzle sticking to a window in [[Salazzle (Unified Minds 34)|an illustration for the Trading Card Game]].]]
Salazzle is a dark gray {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a salamander or lizard. Its thin body has a purple underside with several wavy, dark pink markings: a U-shaped marking with two additional lines inside on its chest and one on each hip resembling wisps of smoke. The dark gray on its head and neck extends slightly onto its chest in a V-shape. It has a slender head with purple, almond-shaped eyes with slit pupils and two fang-like projections on each side of its lower jaw. There are two thin, wavy growths on its back at the base of its tail, which is whip-like with a dark pink underside. Its hands and feet each have five long, thin digits. Salazzle is a female-only species with no known male counterpart.

Salazzle can be found deep in caves with a reverse {{wp|harem}} of male {{p|Salandit}}. The males are attracted by the pheromones in the poisonous gas created by Salazzle. The males bring it food, and those that are unable to are punished with flaming slaps. Salazzle's gas can also be diluted to make perfumes. Only female Salazzle exist as the male Salandit cannot evolve due to a malnutrition diet. The winners of a competition between two Salazzle are determined by who has the most male Salandit in their harem.

==In the anime==

She was eventually defeated, but in [[SM054|the next episode]], Nihilego made her get back up and continue battling until the {{an|Ultra Beasts|Ultra Beast}} was defeated, freeing her from its control.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Salazzle and its {{p|Salandit|pre-evolved form}}.
** Salazzle and its pre-evolved form are also the only {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with a double resistance to {{type|Fairy}} moves.

===Origin===
Salazzle appears to be based on a salamander—both the poisonous real kind and the fire-associated {{wp|salamanders in folklore|mythical kind}}—and lizards of the {{wp|Teiidae}} family, also known as "whiptails". Certain whiptail species have a mostly female population, some species even being female exclusive, one of which is the {{wp|New Mexico whiptail}}. It may also be partially based on {{wp|fire belly newts}}.

Additionally, it may be inspired by the ''mo'o'', a mythical dragon-like lizard of Hawaiian myth. Generally, ''mo'o'' are depicted as large female lizards, which have scales that are black as night, and which would shape-shift into seductive women to devour men. They would also appear when fire was lit near or around their dwellings.

====Name origin====
Salazzle may be a combination of ''salamander'' and ''dazzle'' or ''sizzle''.

Ennewt may be a combination of 炎 ''en'' (flame) or 艶 ''en'' (bewitching) and ''newt''.

'''Draco Meteor''' (Japanese: '''りゅうせいぐん''' ''Meteor Shower'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Dragon}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
===Generations IV and V===
Draco Meteor inflicts damage and lowers the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} by two stages.

===Generation VI===
Draco Meteor's power was lowered from 140 to 130.

==Description==

==Learnset==
===By [[Move Tutor]]===
Various Move Tutors will teach Draco Meteor to a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. From [[Generation IV]] to {{gen|VII}}, the Pokémon also needs a maximized [[friendship]] rating. It can be taught to {{p|Arceus}} while it is holding the [[Draco Plate]] and to {{p|Silvally}} while it is holding the [[Dragon Memory]] (no Memory requirement in {{gameabbrev8|SwSh}}). The move cannot be taught to Pokémon that only become Dragon-types via [[Mega Evolution]], [[Ultra Burst]], or abilities such as {{a|Protean}} and {{a|Libero}}, as their Dragon typing cannot be accessed outside of battle. The Move Tutors are:
* {{gameabbrev4|DPPt}}: Grandma [[Wilma]] in her house on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}.
* {{gameabbrev4|HGSS}}: a Tutor in [[Blackthorn City]].
* {{gameabbrev5|BWB2W2}}: [[Iris]]{{sup/5|B}}/[[Drayden]]{{sup/5|W}}{{sup/5|B2W2}} in [[Opelucid City]].
* {{gameabbrev6|XY}}: a {{tc|Black Belt}} in a house on {{rt|21|Kalos}}.
* {{gameabbrev6|ORAS}}: an {{tc|Expert}} in [[Sootopolis City]].
* {{gameabbrev7|SMUSUM}}: a female {{tc|Ace Trainer}} in the Pokémon Center in [[Seafolk Village]].
* {{gameabbrev8|SwSh}}: an elderly man in the Hero's Bath in [[Circhester]].

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
{{incomplete|section|needs=DX price}}
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], Draco Meteor is a move with 14 power, 80% accuracy and 5PP. The user attacks all enemies in the room. The user's Special Attack is then reduced by two stages. In hallways, this move targets Pokémon up two tiles away (or one in one-tile darkness).

Since Draco Meteor is exclusively a tutor move in main series, it is taught differently in Mystery Dungeon:
*In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], all available {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon can learn Draco Meteor at level 72 if it has at least 300 [[IQ]] points. If this requirement is not met until after level 72, Draco Meteor can be relearned at {{DL|Treasure Town|Electivire Link Shop}}.
*In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon can learn Draco Meteor by [[TM]]. The TM is obtained once Paradise reaches [[Rank (Mystery Dungeon)#Paradise Rank|Perfect Rank]].
*In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, once the player finishes the epilogue's story arc, all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon can learn Draco Meteor at [[Hawlucha's Slam School]] at a price of 11,000[[File:Poké currency.png|link=Poké]].
*In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}}, the move can be taught at [[Gulpin Link Shop]] after completing the main story.

==Trivia==
{{bulbanews/2|CoroCoro to hold contest in promotion of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|New Dragon attack in Diamond, Pearl announced}}

* In December 2005, prior to the release of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, [[CoroCoro]] Comics January ran a contest where fans could name the strongest Dragon-type move.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20051206010318/http://www.corocoro.tv/html/yokoku/index.html CoroCoro.tv (archive)]</ref> Draco Meteor was the move that won this contest.<ref>[https://archive.today/E4Y6w Pokeani (archive)]</ref>
* Its Japanese name, りゅうせいぐん ''Ryūseigun'' (Meteor Shower), contains りゅう ''ryū'' (dragon), which is likely a play on its {{t|Dragon}} typing.

'''Raihan''' (Japanese: '''キバナ''' ''Kibana'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Hammerlocke]]'s Gym, known officially as [[Hammerlocke Stadium]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Dragon}} to Trainers who defeat him. He's also well-known for utilizing [[weather]] tactics in his battles.

==In the core series games==
Raihan is the eighth and final Gym Leader of the [[Galar League]], and he is recognized as the strongest Gym Leader in [[Galar]]. He is also the self-proclaimed [[rival]] of {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Leon]], and despite having a losing streak of 0 to 10 against him, he is the only person who has come close to beating him, having managed to [[fainting|knock out]] more of Leon's Pokémon than anyone else. He's said to be strong enough to become a Champion if he moved to another [[region]], but has refused to do so out of desire of wanting to defeat Leon. He is often seen taking {{wp|selfie}}s on his [[Rotom Phone]], a habit he initially picked up to remind him of the pain of defeat, but one which eventually spread to other parts of his lifestyle.

While Raihan specializes in the {{t|Dragon}} type, he will often use Pokémon of other types to set up [[weather]] conditions such as {{weather|sandstorm}} and [[harsh sunlight]]. Uniquely amongst Galar's Gyms, Raihan's Gym also heavily focuses on [[Double Battle]]s.

In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], Raihan first appears during the game's opening cut-scene, having an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} with Leon. The player first meets Raihan in Hammerlocke to get his permission to visit the local vault, which contains tapestries about Galar's history. Once the player has earned seven [[Badge|Gym Badges]], they challenge and defeat Raihan. Immediately afterwards, Raihan is also challenged and beaten by [[Hop]]. The player rematches Raihan in the Champion Cup in [[Wyndon]] and beats him once again. When [[Rose]] starts the [[Darkest Day]], Raihan organizes the evacuation of Hammerlocke to keep people safe from the event.

During the post-game, Raihan helps the player, Hop, and [[Piers]] in defeating a group of [[Dynamax]] Pokémon let loose at the [[Hammerlocke Stadium]] by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]]. During this encounter, Raihan admits that Piers managed to give him a tough challenge in the Champion Cup, despite his refusal to use Dynamax, and suggests that they should have a battle where neither of them uses it.

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Raihan's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
;Normal League Card
:"Raihan is commonly regarded as the most skilled [[Gym Leader]] in the [[Galar]] region. He has striven for victory in every environment, and as a result, he has adopted a battle style where he utilizes [[weather]] effects to their fullest. It is rumored that he could easily become another region's {{pkmn|Champion}} should he choose to move, but it seems that to Raihan, defeating [[Leon]] is much more important. His uploaded selfies are quite popular. Occasionally he'll post a photo that only shows a sandstorm."
;Rare League Card
:"Raihan started taking selfies so as to never forget the pain of his defeats, but more recently he has been taking photos showing off his training routine, his fashion choices, and the like, causing some fans to leave harsh comments whenever he loses to Leon. It's true that Raihan is on a ten-nil losing streak against Leon, but no other [[Pokémon Trainer]] has managed to KO as many of Leon's Pokémon as Raihan has. Raihan no doubt looks forward to taking a selfie after finally defeating Leon."

===Pokémon===
Raihan keeps his Pokémon in [[Ultra Ball]]s.

===={{g|Sword and Shield}}====
In all battles, Raihan will [[Gigantamax]] his {{p|Duraludon}} at the first opportunity.

===Main series===
[[File:Raihan anime.png|thumb|250px|Raihan in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Prior to his introduction to the series, Raihan entered the current [[World Coronation Series]] competition just to challenge [[Leon]]. During the current season, Raihan was skilled enough to grow rapidly in his rank, soon entering the Master Class.

In ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', Raihan had a {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Leon]] during the [[World Coronation Series]] in [[Wyndon]]. His {{p|Duraludon}} battled Leon's {{p|Charizard}} only to be defeated after a tough battle between the two Trainers. After his victory, Leon greets Raihan for the battle and Raihan says he intends to train more so that he can defeat his [[rival]].

Raihan reappeared in a flashback in ''[[JN042|Sword and Shield, Slumbering Weald!]]''.

In ''[[JN044|Sword and Shield: "From Here to Eternatus!"]]'', Raihan helped [[Sonia]] against a group of {{tc|Macro Cosmos's|Macro Cosmos employees}} who had accosted her outside the [[Energy Plant]] and [[Hammerlocke Stadium]]. In [[JN045|the following episode]], he easily defeated them and then left Sonia so he could take care of rampaging [[Dynamax]] Pokémon in the area. After [[Goh]] caught {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}} and the [[Darkest Day]] ended, he and Duraludon were seen looking on as the {{p|Kommo-o}} they were battling reverted back to its normal state.

Raihan made a cameo appearance at the end of [[JN077]] while watching {{Ash}}’s World Coronation Series match against [[Volkner]].

In [[JN082]], Raihan met Ash and Goh when they all visited [[Ballonlea]] for [[Opal]]'s [[Alcremie-ful Decoration Tournament]]. He was reluctant to participate, but did so anyway as Opal refused to let him just walk away. However, Raihan's cake ultimately lost to Ash's. He then stayed to watch the battle between Ash and Opal. After the battle, Raihan participated in eating the cakes decorated during the contest, finding Ash's cake very tasty.

====Character====
Like his game counterpart, Raihan has a strong rivalry with Leon, and it is the real reason he entered the World Coronation Series. As expected of a {{DL|World Coronation Series|Masters Eight}} member, Raihan is an exceptional {{pkmn|Trainer}}, being able to enter the Master Class shortly after the current season of the competition begins and is strong enough to knock out several Pokémon from [[Rose]]'s associates with a single move.

Raihan is also very flirtatious, as seen when he defended [[Sonia]] from Rose's associates, during which he called her a "beautiful woman". After fending off Rose's crew, Raihan remarked that he would have asked Sonia out on a date if the circumstances weren't critical and also referred to her as a "lovely lady".

In ''[[TW04|Early-Evening Waves]]'', Raihan was briefly seen on a magazine cover. In ''[[TW07|Sky]]'', Raihan had a battle against [[Leon]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]].

In ''[[TW08|The Gathering of Stars]]'', Raihan was seen at [[Hammerlocke Stadium]] with his Flygon, receiving an invitation letter for the [[Galarian Star Tournament]] from [[Leon]]. He was later seen at [[Wyndon Stadium]], walking out onto the field for the tournament's opening ceremony.

===GOTCHA!===
Raihan briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Raihan Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Raihan in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Raihan debuted in [[PASS11]]. He was first seen at the gates of [[Hammerlocke]], speculating on which {{pkmn|Trainer}}s would be able to earn the right to face him in the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. Later, in front of the Hammerlocke gate, Raihan met [[Henry Sword]], who had come to see the vault. After a short {{pkmn|battle}} that ended in Raihan's victory, Raihan took Henry to the vault, only for them to find [[Sonia]] under attack by a wild {{p|Oranguru}}. By teaming up, Raihan and Henry managed to calm Oranguru down.

In [[PASS17]], when large rumbling came from the Hammerlocke [[Energy Plant]], Raihan had [[Leon]] and Sonia move citizens to safety while he went inside to investigate. There, he encountered [[Rose]] and [[Oleana]], who admitted they were experimenting with [[Wishing Star]]s to find a new source of electricity and prevent an energy crisis a thousand years away. Raihan agreed to keep what he learned secret, but questioned Rose's real intentions, noting that the Wishing Stars Rose had looked like an offering to {{p|Eternatus|something}}.

Later, Raihan traveled to [[Spikemuth]], where he met with [[Piers]] to discuss Rose's decision to disqualify [[Bede]] from the Gym Challenge. A loud sound coming from [[Route 9 Tunnel]] interrupted their conversation, and when Raihan and Piers went to investigate, they encountered a crashed [[Flying Taxi]] and Leon, who rescued the driver and the passenger, Sonia. While Raihan and Leon took the victims to a hospital in Hammerlocke, Piers was entrusted with a device Sonia meant for [[Casey Shield]].

Mega Evolution

2021-10-04T19:22:38Z

Mister Wu: /* Pokémon Masters EX */ adding Mega Mewtwo Y, not sure where to put it though, as it was released in a second time

{{redirect|Mega|{{adv|Crystal}}'s {{p|Meganium}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]], which is known as Mega in [[Chuang Yi]] translations|Megaree}}
[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|240px|Blaziken Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]

'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is a temporary transformation introduced in [[Generation VI]] that affects certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Mega-Evolved Pokémon are identified by having "Mega" in front of their name. In the [[core series]], Mega Evolution requires the player to hold a [[Key Stone]] and a Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution holding its compatible [[Mega Stone]] (except in {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, in which the player simply needs to have the Mega Stone in their bag). While Mega Evolution is also available in the [[Generation VII]] games, including {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, it has been removed from {{g|Sword and Shield}}, due to the lack of Key Stones and Mega Stones.

There are 46 species of Pokémon that are capable of Mega Evolution, and there are 48 different Mega Evolutions.

==History==
[[Korrina]], the Gym Leader of [[Shalour City]], is said to know secrets about Mega Evolution. The [[Tower of Mastery]] is also related to Mega Evolution. According to a [[Kalos]] legend, the first Pokémon to have been Mega Evolved was a {{p|Lucario}}. However, according to [[Elder (Meteor Village)|Zinnia's grandmother]] in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], {{p|Rayquaza}} was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve; Mega Evolution was first discovered by the first meeting of humanity and Rayquaza. [[Professor Sycamore]] theorizes that Mega Evolution can only be achieved if there is a strong bond between a Trainer and the Pokémon.

==In the games==
[[File:Tretta Mega Evolution icon.png|thumb|150px|The Mega Evolution sigil, as seen in {{g|Tretta}}]]
In order to Mega Evolve, most Pokémon must be holding their appropriate [[Mega Stone]] and the Trainer must have a [[Key Stone]]. Only {{p|Rayquaza}} does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

===In battle===
In any battle, each Trainer may Mega Evolve a single Pokémon once. Mega Evolution is essentially a free action a Pokémon may make in addition to its normal move, but if a Pokémon will not use a move, it cannot Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution occurs [[priority|before]] most actions except [[recall|switching]]. A Mega-Evolved Pokémon will only revert to its original state if it [[fainting|faints]] or the battle ends; if it is switched out, it will remain Mega Evolved.

A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it is being held in the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither volatile nor non-volatile [[status condition]]s such as paralysis, sleep, and infatuation will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to move that turn.

Mega Stones are not affected by most moves or Abilities. If they would move a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that could use it to Mega Evolve, the moves {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Trick}}, and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail and the Abilities {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. The move {{m|Knock Off}} cannot remove a Mega Stone from a Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve, and Knock Off's power will not be increased since it cannot remove the item. The moves {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} and the Ability {{a|Klutz}} will not prevent a Pokémon from using its respective Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.

Changes in a Pokémon's [[Ability]] will take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} that normally has {{a|Speed Boost}} will not gain a boost in Speed at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as {{m|Crunch}} that turn, it will be boosted by {{a|Strong Jaw}}, its Ability as Mega Sharpedo.

A transformed Pokémon (either by {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}) is unable to Mega Evolve. It will fail to Mega Evolve even if it is transformed into the correct species and it is holding the respective Mega Stone. However, it is possible to transform into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon by copying another Mega-Evolved Pokémon. This has no effect on the restriction that only allows each player one Mega Evolution per battle.

====Generation VI====
In [[Generation VI]], performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order. A Pokémon with a lower Speed than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon who lose Speed from Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards.

Otherwise, stat changes and type changes due to Mega Evolution take effect immediately and damage calculation proceeds as usual. For example, a Pokémon whose Mega Evolution has a lower base Defense stat takes greater damage from physical moves on the turn it Mega Evolves. Likewise, the move {{m|Gyro Ball}} considers the Pokémon's Speed stat after Mega Evolution for damage calculation, not before.

Likewise, even if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority.

When the player Mega Evolves a Pokémon for the first time since the save file is accessed, a longer animation than usual will play, showing the player activating the Mega Evolution with his or her [[Mega Bracelet]]. On subsequent uses of Mega Evolution, a shorter animation will play, showing only the Pokémon as it Mega Evolves.

====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]], a Pokémon's Speed after Mega Evolution is used to determine turn order, not its Speed before. Likewise, if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority.

{{p|Rayquaza}} cannot Mega Evolve if it holds a [[Z-Crystal]].

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], as the [[Held item]] mechanic is not implemented, the player simply needs to have the compatible Mega Stone in their bag to access a Pokémon's Mega Evolution. The player can also manually pick which form Charizard or Mewtwo can become from the move menu.

===Outside of battle===
[[File:Mega Evolution Contest Spectacular.png|thumb|220px|A {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving in a Contest Spectacular]]
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Mega Evolution can also occur during the {{pkmn|Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round}} of [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]]. If the participating Pokémon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone when its [[appeal]] causes the audience's excitement to reach its peak, it will Mega Evolve and perform a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}}. The Pokémon will remain Mega Evolved for the remainder of the Talent Round.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when summoned by the [[Eon Flute]], {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} will Mega Evolve before the player mounts it to [[soaring in the sky|soar in the sky]]. It will Mega Evolve even if it is not holding its corresponding Mega Stone, since the Eon Pokémon is summoned even if it is no longer in the player's game.
{{-}}

==Effects==
A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon (except for Mega Alakazam in Generation VI) has a base stat total 100 points higher than that of its base form.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (GO)}}
Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon GO on August 27, 2020. Rather than using a [[Mega Stone]], an eligible Pokémon instead consumes [[Mega Energy|Mega Energies]] to undergo a temporary Mega Evolution.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
[[File:Masters Mega Evolution.png|thumb|150px|Metagross Mega Evolving in Pokémon Masters EX]]
Certain [[sync pair]]s, including some Trainers that do not have Key Stones in the [[core series]], Mega Evolve their Pokémon while performing their [[sync move]]. After Mega Evolving, their sync partner will benefit from multipliers applied to all stats, chosen so that their total sum is 6.4, and sometimes additional [[move]]s and [[passive skill]]s for the rest of the battle. The following sync pairs can Mega Evolve:

Although {{mas|Zinnia}} and {{mas|Brendan}} hold a [[Key Stone]] each, their respective sync partners {{p|Rayquaza}} and {{p|Sceptile}} do not Mega Evolve with their respective sync moves.

===[[Pokémon Picross]]===
Once a player purchases a Mega Pencil from [[Professor Tetra]] for 500 Picrites, puzzles for Mega Evolutions can be solved. Furthermore, murals can be solved one tile at a time to display {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}'s Primal Reversions.

Only one Mega Evolution can be set at one time, and they cannot be brought alongside their normal forms. Their skills are higher ranked than their normal counterpart, and they can be used on larger puzzles.

===[[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. [[Mega Stone]]s for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]] is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.

===[[Pokémon Shuffle]]===
{{main|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number#Mega Evolution|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number → Mega Evolution}}
Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective [[Mega Stone]] must be obtained (or in {{p|Rayquaza}}'s case, the [[Meteorite]]), typically either by defeating its Mega-Evolved form in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle at the end of each {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Stages|Main Stage Area}} or as a prize for completing a [[Competitive Stage]] or reaching a certain point in an [[Escalation Battle]].

The Pokémon placed in the first position (furthest to the left) when selecting {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} will Mega Evolve after the player fills the Mega Gauge by matching the Pokémon being Mega Evolved or matching Pokémon with the Mega Boost(+) [[Skill]]s who are of the same [[type]] as the Pokémon being Mega Evolved. The size of the Mega Gauge depends on the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, with each Pokémon requiring different numbers of icons to be matched to fill its gauge. The [[Mega Effects]] for each Mega form vary between Pokémon, replacing the Pokémon's Skill for the remainder of the battle.

===[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]===
[[File:Mega Evolution ingame PSMD.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Evolution in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]
[[File:Berserk PSMD.png|thumb|250px|Mega Alakazam in Berserk mode]]
Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls. To achieve Mega Evolution, the player must find an [[Emera#List of emeras|Awakening Emera]] in a Dungeon. These [[Emera]]s can be attached to a Looplet of a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, causing it to Mega Evolve immediately. A Looplet attached with an Awakening emera will have a rainbow glow [[File:MDBag Looplet 3 VI Sprite.png]]. Should it be given to {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}}, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

A bar will appear above the Mega-Evolved Pokémon after it transforms and will slowly start to fill up. As long as the bar is present, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will keep their form even when moving to the next floor. Once the bar is filled, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will go into {{DL|Status conditions in the Mystery Dungeon series|Miscellaneous status conditions|Berserk mode}}. In Berserk mode, the Pokémon will move around and use a powerful attack on any Pokémon surrounding it, friend and foe alike. This will go away after a while, and the Pokémon will revert to normal. When Mega Evolved, its regular attack will get a huge boost in power and range, destroy walls, and reveal purple sparkling spots on the floor which can be picked up for an item.

Attaching an Awakening Emera to a Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve increases its stats by a lot and give it different boosts. Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve with an Awakening Emera attached will not go into Berserk mode.

Awakening Emeras are hard to find and appear randomly in dungeons; like other Emeras, they will disappear if they are not reached in time.

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]]===
Mega Evolution returns in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, here achieved by eating an Awakening Seed. Mega Evolved Pokemon also have all of the bonuses granted by the Awakened status (linked moves always result in critical hits, moves will never miss, and moves will ignore unfavorable type matchups). The only additional bonuses Mega Evolution grants compared to the Awakened status is the potential to change a Pokémon's type and ability.

As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, if {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}} Mega Evolves, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

Additionally, during {{p|Rayquaza}}'s rematch or Mewtwo's boss fight, both will Mega Evolve once their health drops below one half of their total. Mewtwo will always Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo X during its boss fight.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blaziken}}, {{p|Sceptile}}, {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, and [[Shadow Mewtwo]] are able to Mega Evolve through Synergy Burst, with Charizard and both of the Mewtwo Mega Evolving into their X forms. Mega Evolution can be triggered whenever a Pokémon capable of it has its Synergy Gauge filled up to the max during a battle. The Mega Evolved Pokémon will revert to its regular form once it has used up all of its [[Synergy]] power.

In addition, every time when Shadow Mewtwo is fought against in the game's story mode, it will Mega Evolve before the battle begins and stay in this state for the entire fight.

On the [[Dragon's Nest]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appears in the form of both an enormous statue alongside the battle arena and a drawing on the ground of the battle arena. On the [[Old Ferrum Town (Winter)]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Swampert}} appears in the form of a giant snow sculpture. Mega Rayquaza itself is also a Support Pokémon available as part of the Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
{{SSB|Charizard}} and {{SSB|Lucario}}'s [[Final Smash]]es are both Mega Evolution, which transforms them into Mega Charizard X and Mega Lucario, respectively. This Mega Evolution acts as a temporary power-up for the duration of the Final Smash.

{{SSB|Mewtwo}}'s Final Smash is {{m|Psystrike}}, which has it Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y then use Psystrike.

Mega Venusaur and Mega Blastoise appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, Mega {{p|Blaziken}}, Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}}, Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}}, Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
Mewtwo retains its [[Final Smash]] Psystrike from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, which still causes it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Lucario's Final Smash, Aura Storm, has it Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario in order to use it.

Mega Charizard X, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Lucario, and Mega {{p|Diancie}} appear as {{sbw|Spirit}}s.

==In the anime==
[[File:Blaziken Mask Mega Blaziken.png|250px|thumb|Mega Blaziken in the anime]]
===Main series===
Multiple Mega Evolutions have been featured in the {{pkmn|anime}}:

* The first Mega Evolution in the anime was featured in ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} was shown to be capable of changing between its regular form and Mega Mewtwo Y, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]]. However, because the concept of Mega Evolution had not been announced at the time of the movie's release, this transformation remains unnamed in the movie. Some Japanese promotional material for the movie as well as its {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} referred to it as Mewtwo's ''Awakened Form'' (覚醒した姿).<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref>
* The first Mega Evolution in the main series was featured in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where {{Ash}} saw a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. In the [[XY002|next episode]], it was revealed to belong to a masked hero called the [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]], saving Ash from a free fall from the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]]. It has since been seen helping Ash and {{ashfr}} on numerous occasions.
* A Mega {{p|Ampharos}} and a Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appeared as silhouettes in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'' while {{an|Professor Sycamore}} told Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} about the concept of Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Alain]] was featured traveling across the [[Kalos]] [[region]] with his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X, challenging other Mega Evolution Trainers. During the episode, Alain battled [[Astrid]]'s Mega {{p|Absol}} and [[Remo]]'s Mega {{p|Garchomp}}, and was victorious in both battles. Later in the special, he even faced the [[Elite Four]] member [[Siebold]] and his Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, but the powerful {{type|Water}} Pokémon proved to be too much for Charizard, causing Alain to lose the battle.
* All known Mega Evolutions released at the time were also featured during the intro of the aforementioned special episode.
* [[Diantha]]'s Mega {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} first appeared in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', using its Mega Evolution powers to break free from {{TRT}}'s binds.
* {{an|Korrina}} has a {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} that can Mega Evolve, and so does her grandfather [[Gurkinn]], as shown in ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]''. In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', it was shown in a flashback how one of Gurkinn's ancestors discovered a [[Key Stone]], while his Lucario discovered a [[Lucarionite]], leading to the first known Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XY033|Calling from Beyond the Aura!]]'', Korrina told Ash and his friends about a Trainer she had once met who had used a Mega Ampharos.
* A Trainer named [[Mabel]] and her Mega {{p|Mawile}} appeared in ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]''.
* {{an|Diancie}} Mega Evolved in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' in order to protect the [[Allearth Forest]] from {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restore the [[Diamond Domain]] by creating a new Heart Diamond. At the end of the movie, it was shown that a diamond Diancie had created and given to {{an|Bonnie}} earlier caused it to Mega Evolve, acting as a Key Stone.
* During the intro of ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', [[Wikstrom]] is seen Mega Evolving his {{p|Scizor}} in a battle against Diantha and her Mega Gardevoir.
* [[Steven Stone]]'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} appeared in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', as well as Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}. Both reappeared in ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]''.
* The intro of the aforementioned special episode also featured all [[#Introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|newly revealed Mega Evolutions]].
* A Mega {{p|Sableye}} appeared in [[XY051]] as part of ''[[Mega Evolution Pokédex Short|Mairin's Mega Evolution Journal]]''.
* At the end of ''Mega Evolution Special III'', Alain was seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Tyranitar}}.
* Professor Sycamore's Garchomp achieved Mega Evolution for the first time and Mega Evolved into a Mega Garchomp in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]''.
* The {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} Rayquaza that {{an|Hoopa}} summoned in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' all Mega Evolved during the movie. Much like the Mewtwo from [[M16|the sixteenth movie]], they were able to Mega Evolve without a Key Stone or their respective Mega Stones.
* In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', Alain battled ten Mega-Evolved Pokémon and their Trainers in a row, including Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Heracross}}, Mega Scizor, Mega Ampharos, Mega {{p|Aggron}}, and Mega {{p|Pinsir}}. The final Trainer of the row was the [[Elite Four]] member [[Malva]], who used a Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. At the end of the episode, Alain was also seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Banette}}.
* A Mega {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} appeared in ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', under the ownership of a [[Nurse Joy]].
* In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', [[Wulfric]] Mega Evolved his {{p|Abomasnow}} into Mega Abomasnow to fight against [[Ash's Greninja]] during their [[Gym]] battle.
* A Mega Alakazam, Mega {{p|Glalie}}, Mega {{p|Pidgeot}}, Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Shiny Mega {{p|Gengar}}, Shiny Mega Gardevoir, and several other Mega-Evolved Pokémon appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. With the exception of [[Kimia]]'s Shiny Mega Gardevoir, they were forcibly Mega Evolved by a special device known as Mega Wave, which was being used by [[Alva]] and his minions [[Levi]] and [[Cherie]]. A Mega Wave evolved Mega {{p|Heracross}} and Mega {{p|Pinsir}} were also loaned to {{TRT}}.
* A Mega {{TP|Trevor|Charizard}} Y owned by {{an|Trevor}} appeared in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'' during his [[Lumiose Conference]] battle against Alain.
* A Mega {{TP|Sawyer|Sceptile}} owned by [[Sawyer]] appeared in ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'' during his quarterfinal battle in [[Lumiose Conference]] against {{an|Tierno}}.
* [[Lysandre]]'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{p|Gyarados}} debuted in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', where it battled {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} and Alain's Charizard. It managed to knock out four of Ash's Pokémon, but was finally defeated in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]''.
* A Mega Gyarados appeared in a fantasy in ''[[SM033|Big Sky, Small Fry!]]'', where {{an|Lana}} joked about being able to catch one at [[Brooklet Hill]].
* [[Brock's Steelix]] and [[Misty's Gyarados]] Mega Evolved into Mega {{p|Steelix}} and Mega {{p|Gyarados}} in ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', while battling [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]], respectively.
* [[Gozu]]'s {{p|Aggron}} Mega Evolved into Mega Aggron in ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'' to battle {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s {{p|Braviary}} and {{an|Faba}}'s {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Hypno}}.
* [[Ilima]]'s {{p|Kangaskhan}} Mega Evolved into Mega Kangaskhan in ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'' to battle [[Guzma]]'s {{p|Scizor}}.

===Pokémon Origins===
{{OBP|Red|Origins}}'s {{TP|Red|Charizard}} was shown Mega Evolving into Mega Charizard X in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'' during Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, thanks to the Charizardite X and Key Stone given to him by [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[PO02|an earlier episode]].

===Pokémon Generations===
A Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appeared in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]'', under the ownership of [[Player character|a Trainer]], who used it to destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta|a giant meteor]]. Afterwards, it battled against a {{p|Deoxys}} that had emerged from the destroyed meteor.

[[File:Akira Mega Charizard X LDK.png|150px|thumb|left|Mega Charizard X in [[Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King]]]]
===Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King===
In [[Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King]], several main characters' Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, including {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}}, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}}'s {{p|Garchomp}}, and [[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}}.
[[File:X full Mega Evolution Adventures.png|250px|thumb|X's team achieving multiple Mega Evolutions at once in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|X & Y}}====
At first, Mega Evolution was portrayed as a relatively unknown phenomenon, known only to [[Gurkinn]] and his Successors. Since then, it became apparent that [[Team Flare]] were also after the power of Mega Evolution, with one member even compiling a list of [[Mega Stones]] that they discovered. Simultaneous Mega Evolutions can also be accomplished by a Trainer, as long as they have a Key Stone for each Pokémon they are Mega Evolving. However, doing so will cause severe mental stress on the Trainer, and they will be unable to focus on anything other than a single target until the Mega Evolution is undone.
*When [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.
*When X and his friends were attacked by Team Flare in [[Santalune City]], [[Korrina]] arrived and Mega Evolved her {{p|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario to assist them.
*In [[Lysandre Café]], [[Diantha]] had her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir to make Lysandre back off from attacking {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}}.
*The Mega Evolutions of {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Mawile}} and {{p|Garchomp}} made cameos when Gurkinn explained Mega Evolution to [[Emma|Essentia]] during her raid on the [[Tower of Mastery]]. In the subsequent chapter, Gurkinn Mega Evolved his {{p|Heracross}}.
*During Korrina's succession ceremony, three Successors demonstrated Mega Evolution to her by Mega Evolving their {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Scizor}} and {{p|Alakazam}} respectively.
*While visiting [[Lumiose City]], X met an {{p|Electrike}}, which led him to a [[Manectite]], evolving into {{p|Manectric}} in the process. Later Manectric joins X's team, Mega Evolving into Mega Manectric while facing a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}.
*During a battle against [[Team Flare]], Gurkinn's {{p|Gengar}} protected X from [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}}.

*Both X's [[Salamè]] and [[Blue's Charizard]] Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y respectively, after defeating [[Xerosic]]'s Pokémon.

Sapphire and Emerald were seen mastering it in ''[[PAORAS03|Omega Alpha Adventure 3]]'', where they Mega Evolved their respective [[Chic|starter]] [[Emerald's Sceptile|Pokémon]].
*In ''[[PAORAS02|Omega Alpha Adventure 2]]'', Ruby was able to successfully Mega Evolve Latios into Mega Latios, allowing them to [[soaring in the sky|soar into the sky]].

*In ''[[PAORAS15|Omega Alpha Adventure 15]]'', footage of Rayquaza Mega Evolving was seen.
*In ''[[PAORAS20|Omega Alpha Adventure 20]]'', {{adv|Giovanni}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}} as part of his explanation that the meteoroid headed for Hoenn may be housing a Pokémon inside of it, since Mega Evolution is only supposed to work within a battle. Later, Sapphire and Ruby Mega Evolved [[Kirly]] and [[Rara]] into Mega Gallade and Mega Gardevoir respectively during a brief battle against each other.
*In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Ruby and Sapphire Mega Evolved {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} in order to have it destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. Later, Ruby Mega Evolved {{p|Diancie}} for a Pokémon Contest Spectacular Performance.

==In the TCG==
Mega Evolution is mainly featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as {{Mega}}{{TCG|Pokémon-EX#M Pokémon-EX|Pokémon}}{{EX}}. They were added as a new mechanic to the game in the {{TCG|XY}} era as an evolution of Pokémon-EX cards. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn, unless that Pokémon has its specific Spirit Link [[Trainer card (TCG)#Pokémon Tool|Pokémon Tool]] attached to it.

The following is a list of cards mentioning or featuring Mega Evolved Pokémon in the Trading Card Game.

==Trivia==
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in his interview in the Nintendo Dream magazine, {{p|Flygon}} was intended to get a Mega Evolution in [[Pokémon X and Y]], but the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Pokémon designs|idea was later dropped]] due to him experiencing an artist's block.
* There is at least one Mega Evolved {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of every [[type]]: {{t|Psychic}} has the most (with ten), while both {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Electric}} have the fewest (with two each).
** Electric is the only type for which no new Mega Evolution was introduced in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].
* {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}} are the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution that are in the same evolutionary family.
* Only Pokémon which cannot evolve further are capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Rayquaza}} is the only [[trio master]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Diancie}} is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
* With {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 780|base stat totals of 780}}, Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega Rayquaza have the highest base stat totals of any obtainable Pokémon. Eternamax {{p|Eternatus}} has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon at 1125, but cannot be used by the player.
** In addition, Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest base Special Attack of all Pokémon at 194, and Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base Attack of all Pokémon at 190. Mega Mewtwo X also has the highest base stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, its Attack stat being boosted by 80 upon the process.
* {{p|Aggron}} is the only dual-type Pokémon to become single-type upon Mega Evolving, going from {{2t|Steel|Rock}}-type to pure {{type|Steel}}.
* The only Pokémon with multiple Mega Evolutions are {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}, which have two each and were introduced in [[Generation I]]. In both cases, the first ones to be revealed were the Y versions.
** In addition, both of their Y Mega Evolutions kept their original type(s), while both of their X Mega Evolutions changed or added their secondary type.
** Also, in both cases, the X Mega Evolution is more physically-oriented (with a higher Attack and/or Defense), while the Y Mega Evolution is more specially-oriented (with a higher Special Attack and/or Special Defense).
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon that does not require a [[Mega Stone]] to Mega Evolve in the core series games, instead being required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon that can have a different held item while Mega Evolved, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
** It is, furthermore, the only Pokémon to lack the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <[[Mega Stone]]> is reacting to its [[Key Stone]]!" when it Mega Evolves, as it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!" instead.
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Rayquaza needs the player to get the Meteorite for it to Mega Evolve.
** Although Rayquaza can learn Dragon Ascent in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], its Mega Evolution has been removed from the games.
* Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} are programmed into {{g|X and Y}}; as a result, they are not banned by the Kalos rules from battles, and their Mega Stones are not banned from trades between Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire and X or Y, despite being otherwise unavailable in those games.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for [[Pokémon X and Y]] include the Mega Evolution sigil.
* In the Pokémon X and Y demo, the message "''An immense new power has risen in Mewtwo!''" would be displayed before Mega Evolving. In the final game, the message displayed is "''<Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to <Trainer>'s <Key Stone item>!''" Additionally, Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as simply Mega Mewtwo.
* {{p|Slowbro}} is the only Pokémon to have both a Mega Evolution and a [[regional form]].
* The fully evolved [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon that can both Mega Evolve and [[Gigantamax]].

[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|240px|Blaziken Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]

'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is a temporary transformation introduced in [[Generation VI]] that affects certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Mega-Evolved Pokémon are identified by having "Mega" in front of their name. In the [[core series]], Mega Evolution requires the player to hold a [[Key Stone]] and a Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution holding its compatible [[Mega Stone]] (except in {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, in which the player simply needs to have the Mega Stone in their bag). While Mega Evolution is also available in the [[Generation VII]] games, including {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, it has been removed from {{g|Sword and Shield}}, due to the lack of Key Stones and Mega Stones.

There are 46 species of Pokémon that are capable of Mega Evolution, and there are 48 different Mega Evolutions.

==History==
[[Korrina]], the Gym Leader of [[Shalour City]], is said to know secrets about Mega Evolution. The [[Tower of Mastery]] is also related to Mega Evolution. According to a [[Kalos]] legend, the first Pokémon to have been Mega Evolved was a {{p|Lucario}}. However, according to [[Elder (Meteor Village)|Zinnia's grandmother]] in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], {{p|Rayquaza}} was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve; Mega Evolution was first discovered by the first meeting of humanity and Rayquaza. [[Professor Sycamore]] theorizes that Mega Evolution can only be achieved if there is a strong bond between a Trainer and the Pokémon.

==In the games==
[[File:Tretta Mega Evolution icon.png|thumb|150px|The Mega Evolution sigil, as seen in {{g|Tretta}}]]
In order to Mega Evolve, most Pokémon must be holding their appropriate [[Mega Stone]] and the Trainer must have a [[Key Stone]]. Only {{p|Rayquaza}} does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

===In battle===
In any battle, each Trainer may Mega Evolve a single Pokémon once. Mega Evolution is essentially a free action a Pokémon may make in addition to its normal move, but if a Pokémon will not use a move, it cannot Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution occurs [[priority|before]] most actions except [[recall|switching]]. A Mega-Evolved Pokémon will only revert to its original state if it [[fainting|faints]] or the battle ends; if it is switched out, it will remain Mega Evolved.

A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it is being held in the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither volatile nor non-volatile [[status condition]]s such as paralysis, sleep, and infatuation will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to move that turn.

Mega Stones are not affected by most moves or Abilities. If they would move a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that could use it to Mega Evolve, the moves {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Trick}}, and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail and the Abilities {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. The move {{m|Knock Off}} cannot remove a Mega Stone from a Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve, and Knock Off's power will not be increased since it cannot remove the item. The moves {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} and the Ability {{a|Klutz}} will not prevent a Pokémon from using its respective Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.

Changes in a Pokémon's [[Ability]] will take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} that normally has {{a|Speed Boost}} will not gain a boost in Speed at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as {{m|Crunch}} that turn, it will be boosted by {{a|Strong Jaw}}, its Ability as Mega Sharpedo.

A transformed Pokémon (either by {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}) is unable to Mega Evolve. It will fail to Mega Evolve even if it is transformed into the correct species and it is holding the respective Mega Stone. However, it is possible to transform into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon by copying another Mega-Evolved Pokémon. This has no effect on the restriction that only allows each player one Mega Evolution per battle.

====Generation VI====
In [[Generation VI]], performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order. A Pokémon with a lower Speed than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon who lose Speed from Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards.

Otherwise, stat changes and type changes due to Mega Evolution take effect immediately and damage calculation proceeds as usual. For example, a Pokémon whose Mega Evolution has a lower base Defense stat takes greater damage from physical moves on the turn it Mega Evolves. Likewise, the move {{m|Gyro Ball}} considers the Pokémon's Speed stat after Mega Evolution for damage calculation, not before.

Likewise, even if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority.

When the player Mega Evolves a Pokémon for the first time since the save file is accessed, a longer animation than usual will play, showing the player activating the Mega Evolution with his or her [[Mega Bracelet]]. On subsequent uses of Mega Evolution, a shorter animation will play, showing only the Pokémon as it Mega Evolves.

====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]], a Pokémon's Speed after Mega Evolution is used to determine turn order, not its Speed before. Likewise, if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority.

{{p|Rayquaza}} cannot Mega Evolve if it holds a [[Z-Crystal]].

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], as the [[Held item]] mechanic is not implemented, the player simply needs to have the compatible Mega Stone in their bag to access a Pokémon's Mega Evolution. The player can also manually pick which form Charizard or Mewtwo can become from the move menu.

===Outside of battle===
[[File:Mega Evolution Contest Spectacular.png|thumb|220px|A {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving in a Contest Spectacular]]
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Mega Evolution can also occur during the {{pkmn|Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round}} of [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]]. If the participating Pokémon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone when its [[appeal]] causes the audience's excitement to reach its peak, it will Mega Evolve and perform a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}}. The Pokémon will remain Mega Evolved for the remainder of the Talent Round.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when summoned by the [[Eon Flute]], {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} will Mega Evolve before the player mounts it to [[soaring in the sky|soar in the sky]]. It will Mega Evolve even if it is not holding its corresponding Mega Stone, since the Eon Pokémon is summoned even if it is no longer in the player's game.
{{-}}

==Effects==
A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon (except for Mega Alakazam in Generation VI) has a base stat total 100 points higher than that of its base form.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (GO)}}
Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon GO on August 27, 2020. Rather than using a [[Mega Stone]], an eligible Pokémon instead consumes [[Mega Energy|Mega Energies]] to undergo a temporary Mega Evolution.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
[[File:Masters Mega Evolution.png|thumb|150px|Metagross Mega Evolving in Pokémon Masters EX]]
Certain [[sync pair]]s, including some Trainers that do not have Key Stones in the [[core series]], Mega Evolve their Pokémon while performing their [[sync move]]. After Mega Evolving, their sync partner will benefit from multipliers applied to all stats, chosen so that their total sum is 6.4, and sometimes additional [[move]]s and [[passive skill]]s for the rest of the battle. The following sync pairs can Mega Evolve:

Although {{mas|Zinnia}} and {{mas|Brendan}} hold a [[Key Stone]] each, their respective sync partners {{p|Rayquaza}} and {{p|Sceptile}} do not Mega Evolve with their respective sync moves.

===[[Pokémon Picross]]===
Once a player purchases a Mega Pencil from [[Professor Tetra]] for 500 Picrites, puzzles for Mega Evolutions can be solved. Furthermore, murals can be solved one tile at a time to display {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}'s Primal Reversions.

Only one Mega Evolution can be set at one time, and they cannot be brought alongside their normal forms. Their skills are higher ranked than their normal counterpart, and they can be used on larger puzzles.

===[[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. [[Mega Stone]]s for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]] is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.

===[[Pokémon Shuffle]]===
{{main|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number#Mega Evolution|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number → Mega Evolution}}
Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective [[Mega Stone]] must be obtained (or in {{p|Rayquaza}}'s case, the [[Meteorite]]), typically either by defeating its Mega-Evolved form in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle at the end of each {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Stages|Main Stage Area}} or as a prize for completing a [[Competitive Stage]] or reaching a certain point in an [[Escalation Battle]].

The Pokémon placed in the first position (furthest to the left) when selecting {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} will Mega Evolve after the player fills the Mega Gauge by matching the Pokémon being Mega Evolved or matching Pokémon with the Mega Boost(+) [[Skill]]s who are of the same [[type]] as the Pokémon being Mega Evolved. The size of the Mega Gauge depends on the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, with each Pokémon requiring different numbers of icons to be matched to fill its gauge. The [[Mega Effects]] for each Mega form vary between Pokémon, replacing the Pokémon's Skill for the remainder of the battle.

===[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]===
[[File:Mega Evolution ingame PSMD.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Evolution in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]
[[File:Berserk PSMD.png|thumb|250px|Mega Alakazam in Berserk mode]]
Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls. To achieve Mega Evolution, the player must find an [[Emera#List of emeras|Awakening Emera]] in a Dungeon. These [[Emera]]s can be attached to a Looplet of a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, causing it to Mega Evolve immediately. A Looplet attached with an Awakening emera will have a rainbow glow [[File:MDBag Looplet 3 VI Sprite.png]]. Should it be given to {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}}, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

A bar will appear above the Mega-Evolved Pokémon after it transforms and will slowly start to fill up. As long as the bar is present, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will keep their form even when moving to the next floor. Once the bar is filled, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will go into {{DL|Status conditions in the Mystery Dungeon series|Miscellaneous status conditions|Berserk mode}}. In Berserk mode, the Pokémon will move around and use a powerful attack on any Pokémon surrounding it, friend and foe alike. This will go away after a while, and the Pokémon will revert to normal. When Mega Evolved, its regular attack will get a huge boost in power and range, destroy walls, and reveal purple sparkling spots on the floor which can be picked up for an item.

Attaching an Awakening Emera to a Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve increases its stats by a lot and give it different boosts. Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve with an Awakening Emera attached will not go into Berserk mode.

Awakening Emeras are hard to find and appear randomly in dungeons; like other Emeras, they will disappear if they are not reached in time.

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]]===
Mega Evolution returns in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, here achieved by eating an Awakening Seed. Mega Evolved Pokemon also have all of the bonuses granted by the Awakened status (linked moves always result in critical hits, moves will never miss, and moves will ignore unfavorable type matchups). The only additional bonuses Mega Evolution grants compared to the Awakened status is the potential to change a Pokémon's type and ability.

As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, if {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}} Mega Evolves, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

Additionally, during {{p|Rayquaza}}'s rematch or Mewtwo's boss fight, both will Mega Evolve once their health drops below one half of their total. Mewtwo will always Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo X during its boss fight.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blaziken}}, {{p|Sceptile}}, {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, and [[Shadow Mewtwo]] are able to Mega Evolve through Synergy Burst, with Charizard and both of the Mewtwo Mega Evolving into their X forms. Mega Evolution can be triggered whenever a Pokémon capable of it has its Synergy Gauge filled up to the max during a battle. The Mega Evolved Pokémon will revert to its regular form once it has used up all of its [[Synergy]] power.

In addition, every time when Shadow Mewtwo is fought against in the game's story mode, it will Mega Evolve before the battle begins and stay in this state for the entire fight.

On the [[Dragon's Nest]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appears in the form of both an enormous statue alongside the battle arena and a drawing on the ground of the battle arena. On the [[Old Ferrum Town (Winter)]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Swampert}} appears in the form of a giant snow sculpture. Mega Rayquaza itself is also a Support Pokémon available as part of the Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
{{SSB|Charizard}} and {{SSB|Lucario}}'s [[Final Smash]]es are both Mega Evolution, which transforms them into Mega Charizard X and Mega Lucario, respectively. This Mega Evolution acts as a temporary power-up for the duration of the Final Smash.

{{SSB|Mewtwo}}'s Final Smash is {{m|Psystrike}}, which has it Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y then use Psystrike.

Mega Venusaur and Mega Blastoise appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, Mega {{p|Blaziken}}, Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}}, Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}}, Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
Mewtwo retains its [[Final Smash]] Psystrike from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, which still causes it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Lucario's Final Smash, Aura Storm, has it Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario in order to use it.

Mega Charizard X, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Lucario, and Mega {{p|Diancie}} appear as {{sbw|Spirit}}s.

==In the anime==
[[File:Blaziken Mask Mega Blaziken.png|250px|thumb|Mega Blaziken in the anime]]
===Main series===
Multiple Mega Evolutions have been featured in the {{pkmn|anime}}:

* The first Mega Evolution in the anime was featured in ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} was shown to be capable of changing between its regular form and Mega Mewtwo Y, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]]. However, because the concept of Mega Evolution had not been announced at the time of the movie's release, this transformation remains unnamed in the movie. Some Japanese promotional material for the movie as well as its {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} referred to it as Mewtwo's ''Awakened Form'' (覚醒した姿).<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref>
* The first Mega Evolution in the main series was featured in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where {{Ash}} saw a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. In the [[XY002|next episode]], it was revealed to belong to a masked hero called the [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]], saving Ash from a free fall from the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]]. It has since been seen helping Ash and {{ashfr}} on numerous occasions.
* A Mega {{p|Ampharos}} and a Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appeared as silhouettes in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'' while {{an|Professor Sycamore}} told Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} about the concept of Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Alain]] was featured traveling across the [[Kalos]] [[region]] with his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X, challenging other Mega Evolution Trainers. During the episode, Alain battled [[Astrid]]'s Mega {{p|Absol}} and [[Remo]]'s Mega {{p|Garchomp}}, and was victorious in both battles. Later in the special, he even faced the [[Elite Four]] member [[Siebold]] and his Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, but the powerful {{type|Water}} Pokémon proved to be too much for Charizard, causing Alain to lose the battle.
* All known Mega Evolutions released at the time were also featured during the intro of the aforementioned special episode.
* [[Diantha]]'s Mega {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} first appeared in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', using its Mega Evolution powers to break free from {{TRT}}'s binds.
* {{an|Korrina}} has a {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} that can Mega Evolve, and so does her grandfather [[Gurkinn]], as shown in ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]''. In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', it was shown in a flashback how one of Gurkinn's ancestors discovered a [[Key Stone]], while his Lucario discovered a [[Lucarionite]], leading to the first known Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XY033|Calling from Beyond the Aura!]]'', Korrina told Ash and his friends about a Trainer she had once met who had used a Mega Ampharos.
* A Trainer named [[Mabel]] and her Mega {{p|Mawile}} appeared in ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]''.
* {{an|Diancie}} Mega Evolved in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' in order to protect the [[Allearth Forest]] from {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restore the [[Diamond Domain]] by creating a new Heart Diamond. At the end of the movie, it was shown that a diamond Diancie had created and given to {{an|Bonnie}} earlier caused it to Mega Evolve, acting as a Key Stone.
* During the intro of ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', [[Wikstrom]] is seen Mega Evolving his {{p|Scizor}} in a battle against Diantha and her Mega Gardevoir.
* [[Steven Stone]]'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} appeared in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', as well as Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}. Both reappeared in ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]''.
* The intro of the aforementioned special episode also featured all [[#Introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|newly revealed Mega Evolutions]].
* A Mega {{p|Sableye}} appeared in [[XY051]] as part of ''[[Mega Evolution Pokédex Short|Mairin's Mega Evolution Journal]]''.
* At the end of ''Mega Evolution Special III'', Alain was seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Tyranitar}}.
* Professor Sycamore's Garchomp achieved Mega Evolution for the first time and Mega Evolved into a Mega Garchomp in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]''.
* The {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} Rayquaza that {{an|Hoopa}} summoned in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' all Mega Evolved during the movie. Much like the Mewtwo from [[M16|the sixteenth movie]], they were able to Mega Evolve without a Key Stone or their respective Mega Stones.
* In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', Alain battled ten Mega-Evolved Pokémon and their Trainers in a row, including Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Heracross}}, Mega Scizor, Mega Ampharos, Mega {{p|Aggron}}, and Mega {{p|Pinsir}}. The final Trainer of the row was the [[Elite Four]] member [[Malva]], who used a Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. At the end of the episode, Alain was also seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Banette}}.
* A Mega {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} appeared in ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', under the ownership of a [[Nurse Joy]].
* In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', [[Wulfric]] Mega Evolved his {{p|Abomasnow}} into Mega Abomasnow to fight against [[Ash's Greninja]] during their [[Gym]] battle.
* A Mega Alakazam, Mega {{p|Glalie}}, Mega {{p|Pidgeot}}, Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Shiny Mega {{p|Gengar}}, Shiny Mega Gardevoir, and several other Mega-Evolved Pokémon appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. With the exception of [[Kimia]]'s Shiny Mega Gardevoir, they were forcibly Mega Evolved by a special device known as Mega Wave, which was being used by [[Alva]] and his minions [[Levi]] and [[Cherie]]. A Mega Wave evolved Mega {{p|Heracross}} and Mega {{p|Pinsir}} were also loaned to {{TRT}}.
* A Mega {{TP|Trevor|Charizard}} Y owned by {{an|Trevor}} appeared in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'' during his [[Lumiose Conference]] battle against Alain.
* A Mega {{TP|Sawyer|Sceptile}} owned by [[Sawyer]] appeared in ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'' during his quarterfinal battle in [[Lumiose Conference]] against {{an|Tierno}}.
* [[Lysandre]]'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{p|Gyarados}} debuted in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', where it battled {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} and Alain's Charizard. It managed to knock out four of Ash's Pokémon, but was finally defeated in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]''.
* A Mega Gyarados appeared in a fantasy in ''[[SM033|Big Sky, Small Fry!]]'', where {{an|Lana}} joked about being able to catch one at [[Brooklet Hill]].
* [[Brock's Steelix]] and [[Misty's Gyarados]] Mega Evolved into Mega {{p|Steelix}} and Mega {{p|Gyarados}} in ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', while battling [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]], respectively.
* [[Gozu]]'s {{p|Aggron}} Mega Evolved into Mega Aggron in ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'' to battle {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s {{p|Braviary}} and {{an|Faba}}'s {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Hypno}}.
* [[Ilima]]'s {{p|Kangaskhan}} Mega Evolved into Mega Kangaskhan in ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'' to battle [[Guzma]]'s {{p|Scizor}}.

===Pokémon Origins===
{{OBP|Red|Origins}}'s {{TP|Red|Charizard}} was shown Mega Evolving into Mega Charizard X in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'' during Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, thanks to the Charizardite X and Key Stone given to him by [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[PO02|an earlier episode]].

===Pokémon Generations===
A Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appeared in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]'', under the ownership of [[Player character|a Trainer]], who used it to destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta|a giant meteor]]. Afterwards, it battled against a {{p|Deoxys}} that had emerged from the destroyed meteor.

[[File:Akira Mega Charizard X LDK.png|150px|thumb|left|Mega Charizard X in [[Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King]]]]
===Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King===
In [[Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King]], several main characters' Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, including {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}}, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}}'s {{p|Garchomp}}, and [[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}}.
[[File:X full Mega Evolution Adventures.png|250px|thumb|X's team achieving multiple Mega Evolutions at once in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|X & Y}}====
At first, Mega Evolution was portrayed as a relatively unknown phenomenon, known only to [[Gurkinn]] and his Successors. Since then, it became apparent that [[Team Flare]] were also after the power of Mega Evolution, with one member even compiling a list of [[Mega Stones]] that they discovered. Simultaneous Mega Evolutions can also be accomplished by a Trainer, as long as they have a Key Stone for each Pokémon they are Mega Evolving. However, doing so will cause severe mental stress on the Trainer, and they will be unable to focus on anything other than a single target until the Mega Evolution is undone.
*When [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.
*When X and his friends were attacked by Team Flare in [[Santalune City]], [[Korrina]] arrived and Mega Evolved her {{p|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario to assist them.
*In [[Lysandre Café]], [[Diantha]] had her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir to make Lysandre back off from attacking {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}}.
*The Mega Evolutions of {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Mawile}} and {{p|Garchomp}} made cameos when Gurkinn explained Mega Evolution to [[Emma|Essentia]] during her raid on the [[Tower of Mastery]]. In the subsequent chapter, Gurkinn Mega Evolved his {{p|Heracross}}.
*During Korrina's succession ceremony, three Successors demonstrated Mega Evolution to her by Mega Evolving their {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Scizor}} and {{p|Alakazam}} respectively.
*While visiting [[Lumiose City]], X met an {{p|Electrike}}, which led him to a [[Manectite]], evolving into {{p|Manectric}} in the process. Later Manectric joins X's team, Mega Evolving into Mega Manectric while facing a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}.
*During a battle against [[Team Flare]], Gurkinn's {{p|Gengar}} protected X from [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}}. It helped battle against Team Flare to stop them from capturing {{p|Xerneas}} while in tree form. It was later given it to X, at which point he nicknamed it Garma. Garma has a Gengarite, which allows X to Mega Evolve it into Mega Gengar.
*While confronting Essentia, X's Rute and Y's Solsol are given their respective Mega Stones, allowing them to Mega Evolve into Mega Pinsir and Mega Absol respectively.
*Both X's [[Salamè]] and [[Blue's Charizard]] Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y respectively, after defeating [[Xerosic]]'s Pokémon.
*After reuniting with [[Blaine]], {{adv|Mewtwo}} gained the ability to Mega Evolve into both Mega Mewtwo X and Y. Due to their bond, Mewtwo is able to Mega Evolve more than once per battle.

===={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====

*In ''[[PAORAS01|Omega Alpha Adventure 1]]'', {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} were shown learning how to Mega Evolve their Pokémon from [[Ultima]]. Sapphire and Emerald were seen mastering it in ''[[PAORAS03|Omega Alpha Adventure 3]]'', where they Mega Evolved their respective [[Chic|starter]] [[Emerald's Sceptile|Pokémon]].
*In ''[[PAORAS02|Omega Alpha Adventure 2]]'', Ruby was able to successfully Mega Evolve Latios into Mega Latios, allowing them to [[soaring|soar]] into the sky. He soon arrived at the [[Sky Pillar]], where he met and battled [[Zinnia]], who used her Mega {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}} against Mega Latios.
*In ''[[PAORAS06|Omega Alpha Adventure 6]]'', {{Steven}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} into Mega Metagross with his Mega Stickpin.
*In ''[[PAORAS07|Omega Alpha Adventure 7]]'', [[Jinga]] of the [[Draconid people|Draconids]] Mega Evolved his Slowbro into Mega Slowbro in his battle against Ruby.

*In ''[[PAORAS15|Omega Alpha Adventure 15]]'', footage of Rayquaza Mega Evolving was seen.
*In ''[[PAORAS20|Omega Alpha Adventure 20]]'', {{adv|Giovanni}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}} as part of his explanation that the meteoroid headed for Hoenn may be housing a Pokémon inside of it, since Mega Evolution is only supposed to work within a battle. Later, Sapphire and Ruby Mega Evolved [[Kirly]] and [[Rara]] into Mega Gallade and Mega Gardevoir respectively during a brief battle against each other.
*In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Ruby and Sapphire Mega Evolved {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} in order to have it destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. Later, Ruby Mega Evolved {{p|Diancie}} for a Pokémon Contest Spectacular Performance.

==In the TCG==
Mega Evolution is mainly featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as {{Mega}}{{TCG|Pokémon-EX#M Pokémon-EX|Pokémon}}{{EX}}. They were added as a new mechanic to the game in the {{TCG|XY}} era as an evolution of Pokémon-EX cards. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn, unless that Pokémon has its specific Spirit Link [[Trainer card (TCG)#Pokémon Tool|Pokémon Tool]] attached to it.

The following is a list of cards mentioning or featuring Mega Evolved Pokémon in the Trading Card Game.

==Trivia==
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in his interview in the Nintendo Dream magazine, {{p|Flygon}} was intended to get a Mega Evolution in [[Pokémon X and Y]], but the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Pokémon designs|idea was later dropped]] due to him experiencing an artist's block.
* There is at least one Mega Evolved {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of every [[type]]: {{t|Psychic}} has the most (with ten), while both {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Electric}} have the fewest (with two each).
** Electric is the only type for which no new Mega Evolution was introduced in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].
* {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}} are the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution that are in the same evolutionary family.
* Only Pokémon which cannot evolve further are capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Rayquaza}} is the only [[trio master]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Diancie}} is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
* With {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 780|base stat totals of 780}}, Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega Rayquaza have the highest base stat totals of any obtainable Pokémon. Eternamax {{p|Eternatus}} has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon at 1125, but cannot be used by the player.
** In addition, Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest base Special Attack of all Pokémon at 194, and Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base Attack of all Pokémon at 190. Mega Mewtwo X also has the highest base stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, its Attack stat being boosted by 80 upon the process.
* {{p|Aggron}} is the only dual-type Pokémon to become single-type upon Mega Evolving, going from {{2t|Steel|Rock}}-type to pure {{type|Steel}}.
* The only Pokémon with multiple Mega Evolutions are {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}, which have two each and were introduced in [[Generation I]]. In both cases, the first ones to be revealed were the Y versions.
** In addition, both of their Y Mega Evolutions kept their original type(s), while both of their X Mega Evolutions changed or added their secondary type.
** Also, in both cases, the X Mega Evolution is more physically-oriented (with a higher Attack and/or Defense), while the Y Mega Evolution is more specially-oriented (with a higher Special Attack and/or Special Defense).
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon that does not require a [[Mega Stone]] to Mega Evolve in the core series games, instead being required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon that can have a different held item while Mega Evolved, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
** It is, furthermore, the only Pokémon to lack the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <[[Mega Stone]]> is reacting to its [[Key Stone]]!" when it Mega Evolves, as it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!" instead.
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Rayquaza needs the player to get the Meteorite for it to Mega Evolve.
** Although Rayquaza can learn Dragon Ascent in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], its Mega Evolution has been removed from the games.
* Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} are programmed into {{g|X and Y}}; as a result, they are not banned by the Kalos rules from battles, and their Mega Stones are not banned from trades between Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire and X or Y, despite being otherwise unavailable in those games.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for [[Pokémon X and Y]] include the Mega Evolution sigil.
* In the Pokémon X and Y demo, the message "''An immense new power has risen in Mewtwo!''" would be displayed before Mega Evolving. In the final game, the message displayed is "''<Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to <Trainer>'s <Key Stone item>!''" Additionally, Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as simply Mega Mewtwo.
* {{p|Slowbro}} is the only Pokémon to have both a Mega Evolution and a [[regional form]].
* The fully evolved [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon that can both Mega Evolve and [[Gigantamax]].

'''Leaf''' (Japanese: '''リーフ''' ''Leaf'') is the female [[player character]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Her male counterpart is {{ga|Red}}.

==In the core series==
{{spoilers}}
Leaf's adventure begins after [[Professor Oak]] calls her to his lab and gives her a [[Starter Pokémon|choice of Pokémon]]. {{ga|Blue}} challenges Leaf to a [[Pokémon battle]] as soon as they get their Pokémon. Later, Professor Oak calls the two back, gives each of them a [[Pokédex]], and sends them on a journey to fulfill their dream of capturing every kind of Pokémon.

Leaf travels all over Kanto, filling in the Pokédex and defeating the [[Gym Leader]]s. Her [[rival]] Blue constantly stays one step ahead, and shows up quite a few times to impede her progress. When Leaf eventually reaches the [[Elite Four]], she finds that Blue has beaten her to a milestone yet again and has become the [[Indigo League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. Leaf defeats Blue in the final battle, and becomes the Champion herself. Her adventure continues even after that, with Leaf discovering new places, such as the [[Sevii Islands]].

Leaf's main conflict in the games, aside from Blue, is [[Team Rocket]], an infamous group of Pokémon thieves. Leaf clashes with Team Rocket many times in her quest. She defeats a group of grunts at [[Mt. Moon]] who are attempting to steal rare Pokémon [[Fossil]]s, and defeats another group ahead at a bridge in [[Cerulean City]]. Leaf protects the [[Pokémon Tower]] and [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[Lavender Town]] and destroys their hold on the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]]. After she foils their plot to take over [[Silph Co.]], Leaf encounters [[Giovanni]], the leader of Team Rocket, as the final Gym Leader in [[Viridian City]]. Upon defeating him, Leaf stops the group's world domination plots once and for all, though a few remaining grunts, many who appeared and were defeated by Leaf on [[Five Island]] in [[Generation III]], would band together in [[Johto]] to [[Generation II|try to revive the group]].

===Optional names===
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says "Right... So your name is <optional name>.", suggesting one of the 21 available names. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.

==Trivia==
[[File:RGB guidebook.jpg|thumb|200px|Cover of the Pocket Monsters Red, Green, and Blue guidebook]]
* An artwork of an [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Female character|unnamed female character]] drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]] was released in {{game|Red and Green|s}}'s official strategy guide, released in April 1996.<ref>[https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4091025366 ポケットモンスター―任天堂公式ガイドブック] - Amazon.co.jp (Japanese)</ref> This artwork also appears on the cover a revised version of the guidebook that includes the Japanese [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]] as well.<ref>[https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4091025684 ポケットモンスター赤・緑・青全対応] - Amazon.co.jp (Japanese)</ref>
** According to Sugimori, she was not originally planned as a player character. He wanted to portray a trio of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s facing off against each other, hence designed the female character for the cover.<ref>[https://twitter.com/super_32x/status/269844962118610945 Twitter - Sugimori on the origins of the unknown female character] (Japanese)</ref>
** The female character was later adapted for the Pokémon Craft DX magazine drawn by Emiko Yoshino, as well as {{adv|Green}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]] (released 11 months after the original artwork), Leaf in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} (8 years after the original artwork), and {{ga|Green}} in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] (22 years after the original artwork).
** Sugimori noted that he took the unnamed female character into consideration when he was designing the female protagonist for {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. He also mentioned that the FireRed and LeafGreen female protagonist did not have a name at the time of his writing, in November 2012.<ref>[https://twitter.com/super_32x/status/269847118754217986 Twitter - Sugimori on designing the FRLG female protagonist] (Japanese)</ref>
* While {{ga|Green}} shares many similarities with Leaf, it has not been officially confirmed whether Green is an incarnation of Leaf, a [[cross-canon counterpart]], or a separate entity entirely.
* Leaf's hat somewhat resembles a [[Premier Ball]].
* Leaf's FireRed and LeafGreen sprite shows her with blue eyes, although every other sprite and the official artwork shows her with brown eyes.
* The majority of her Japanese default names are shared with {{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Lyra}}. She also shares all of {{ga|Kris}}'s alternate Japanese names.
* Though she is neither playable nor an opponent in the handheld [[Generation IV]] games, Leaf made a brief cameo battling against {{ga|Red}} in an early trailer for [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] on the Wii.
* Leaf is the only non-rival female player character to have a [[Blue (Ruby-Sapphire)|counterpart]] who appeared in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]].

'''Leaf''' (Japanese: '''リーフ''' ''Leaf'') is the female [[player character]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Her male counterpart is {{ga|Red}}.

==In the core series==
{{spoilers}}
Leaf's adventure begins after [[Professor Oak]] calls her to his lab and gives her a [[Starter Pokémon|choice of Pokémon]]. {{ga|Blue}} challenges Leaf to a [[Pokémon battle]] as soon as they get their Pokémon. Later, Professor Oak calls the two back, gives each of them a [[Pokédex]], and sends them on a journey to fulfill their dream of capturing every kind of Pokémon.

Leaf travels all over Kanto, filling in the Pokédex and defeating the [[Gym Leader]]s. Her [[rival]] Blue constantly stays one step ahead, and shows up quite a few times to impede her progress. When Leaf eventually reaches the [[Elite Four]], she finds that Blue has beaten her to a milestone yet again and has become the [[Indigo League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. Leaf defeats Blue in the final battle, and becomes the Champion herself. Her adventure continues even after that, with Leaf discovering new places, such as the [[Sevii Islands]].

Leaf's main conflict in the games, aside from Blue, is [[Team Rocket]], an infamous group of Pokémon thieves. Leaf clashes with Team Rocket many times in her quest. She defeats a group of grunts at [[Mt. Moon]] who are attempting to steal rare Pokémon [[Fossil]]s, and defeats another group ahead at a bridge in [[Cerulean City]]. Leaf protects the [[Pokémon Tower]] and [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[Lavender Town]] and destroys their hold on the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]]. After she foils their plot to take over [[Silph Co.]], Leaf encounters [[Giovanni]], the leader of Team Rocket, as the final Gym Leader in [[Viridian City]]. Upon defeating him, Leaf stops the group's world domination plots once and for all, though a few remaining grunts, many who appeared and were defeated by Leaf on [[Five Island]] in [[Generation III]], would band together in [[Johto]] to [[Generation II|try to revive the group]].

'''Leaf''' (Japanese: '''リーフ''' ''Leaf'') is the female [[player character]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Her male counterpart is {{ga|Red}}.

==In the core series==
{{spoilers}}
Leaf's adventure begins after [[Professor Oak]] calls her to his lab and gives her a [[Starter Pokémon|choice of Pokémon]]. {{ga|Blue}} challenges Leaf to a [[Pokémon battle]] as soon as they get their Pokémon. Later, Professor Oak calls the two back, gives each of them a [[Pokédex]], and sends them on a journey to fulfill their dream of capturing every kind of Pokémon.

Leaf travels all over Kanto, filling in the Pokédex and defeating the [[Gym Leader]]s. Her [[rival]] Blue constantly stays one step ahead, and shows up quite a few times to impede her progress. When Leaf eventually reaches the [[Elite Four]], she finds that Blue has beaten her to a milestone yet again and has become the [[Indigo League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. Leaf defeats Blue in the final battle, and becomes the Champion herself. Her adventure continues even after that, with Leaf discovering new places, such as the [[Sevii Islands]].

Leaf's main conflict in the games, aside from Blue, is [[Team Rocket]], an infamous group of Pokémon thieves. Leaf clashes with Team Rocket many times in her quest. She defeats a group of grunts at [[Mt. Moon]] who are attempting to steal rare Pokémon [[Fossil]]s, and defeats another group ahead at a bridge in [[Cerulean City]]. Leaf protects the [[Pokémon Tower]] and [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[Lavender Town]] and destroys their hold on the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]]. After she foils their plot to take over [[Silph Co.]], Leaf encounters [[Giovanni]], the leader of Team Rocket, as the final Gym Leader in [[Viridian City]]. Upon defeating him, Leaf stops the group's world domination plots once and for all, though a few remaining grunts, many who appeared and were defeated by Leaf on [[Five Island]] in [[Generation III]], would band together in [[Johto]] to [[Generation II|try to revive the group]].

===Optional names===
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says "Right... So your name is <optional name>.", suggesting one of the 21 available names. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.

==Trivia==
[[File:RGB guidebook.jpg|thumb|200px|Cover of the Pocket Monsters Red, Green, and Blue guidebook]]
* An artwork of an [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Female character|unnamed female character]] drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]] was released in {{game|Red and Green|s}}'s official strategy guide, released in April 1996.<ref>[https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4091025366 ポケットモンスター―任天堂公式ガイドブック] - Amazon.co.jp (Japanese)</ref> This artwork also appears on the cover a revised version of the guidebook that includes the Japanese [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]] as well.<ref>[https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4091025684 ポケットモンスター赤・緑・青全対応] - Amazon.co.jp (Japanese)</ref>
** According to Sugimori, she was not originally planned as a player character. He wanted to portray a trio of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s facing off against each other, hence designed the female character for the cover.<ref>[https://twitter.com/super_32x/status/269844962118610945 Twitter - Sugimori on the origins of the unknown female character] (Japanese)</ref>
** The female character was later adapted for the Pokémon Craft DX magazine drawn by Emiko Yoshino, as well as {{adv|Green}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]] (released 11 months after the original artwork), Leaf in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} (8 years after the original artwork), and {{ga|Green}} in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] (22 years after the original artwork).
** Sugimori noted that he took the unnamed female character into consideration when he was designing the female protagonist for {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. He also mentioned that the FireRed and LeafGreen female protagonist did not have a name at the time of his writing, in November 2012.<ref>[https://twitter.com/super_32x/status/269847118754217986 Twitter - Sugimori on designing the FRLG female protagonist] (Japanese)</ref>
* While {{ga|Green}} shares many similarities with Leaf, it has not been officially confirmed whether Green is an incarnation of Leaf, a [[cross-canon counterpart]], or a separate entity entirely.
* Leaf's hat somewhat resembles a [[Premier Ball]].
* Leaf's FireRed and LeafGreen sprite shows her with blue eyes, although every other sprite and the official artwork shows her with brown eyes.
* The majority of her Japanese default names are shared with {{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Lyra}}. She also shares all of {{ga|Kris}}'s alternate Japanese names.
* Though she is neither playable nor an opponent in the handheld [[Generation IV]] games, Leaf made a brief cameo battling against {{ga|Red}} in an early trailer for [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] on the Wii.
* Leaf is the only non-rival female player character to have a [[Blue (Ruby-Sapphire)|counterpart]] who appeared in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]].

==Names==
Leaf was first used as the official name of this character in the [https://youtu.be/VnweBRQd9ao E3 2004 trailer of ''Pokémon FireRed Version'']. It was then used in [[Pokémon Masters EX]] and on merchandise such as Kotobukiya's ARTFX J figurine<ref>[https://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/product/product-0000003255/ "ARTFX J Leaf with Squirtle" on Kotobukiya] (Japanese)</ref><ref>[http://en.kotobukiya.co.jp/product/product-0000003255/ "Pokémon LEAF with ZENIGAME ARTFX STATUE" on Kotobukiya] (English)</ref> and the Bandai's Pokémon Scale World collection.<ref>[https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/products/2019/1000136258.html "Pokémon Scale World - Kanto: Leaf & Clefairy & Gengar" on Bandai] (Japanese)</ref> She is also referred to as "Leaf" in unused Trainer data and as one of her optional names in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and was hinted as such to be the default name by Sugimori on Twitter.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/146236304957513728 Twitter - Sugimori on the name of the FRLG female protagonist] (English)</ref>

Until the reveal of her official name, she was also known in the fandom as "Green" (ブルー ''Blue'' in Japanese) to match her {{adv|Green|Pokémon Adventures counterpart}}. This name would later be used officially in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] for {{ga|Green}}, although it has not been confirmed whether Leaf and Green are different versions of the same character. She is also sometimes referred to as フグリ ''Fuguri'' in the Japanese fandom. The name is derived from the katakana rendering of "LeafGreen", リー'''フグリ'''ーン ''rī'''fugurī'''n''.

[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|240px|Blaziken Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]

'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is a temporary transformation introduced in [[Generation VI]] that affects certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Mega-Evolved Pokémon are identified by having "Mega" in front of their name. In the [[core series]], Mega Evolution requires the player to hold a [[Key Stone]] and a Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution holding its compatible [[Mega Stone]] (except in {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, in which the player simply needs to have the Mega Stone in their bag). While Mega Evolution is also available in the [[Generation VII]] games, including in {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} (despite being based in [[Kanto]]), it has been removed from {{g|Sword and Shield}}, due to the lack of Key Stones and Mega Stones.

There are 46 species of Pokémon that are capable of Mega Evolution, and there are 48 different Mega Evolutions.

==History==
[[Korrina]], the Gym Leader of [[Shalour City]], is said to know secrets about Mega Evolution. The [[Tower of Mastery]] is also related to Mega Evolution. According to a [[Kalos]] legend, the first Pokémon to have been Mega Evolved was a {{p|Lucario}}. However, according to [[Elder (Meteor Village)|Zinnia's grandmother]] in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], {{p|Rayquaza}} was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve; Mega Evolution was first discovered by the first meeting of humanity and Rayquaza. [[Professor Sycamore]] theorizes that Mega Evolution can only be achieved if there is a strong bond between a Trainer and the Pokémon.

==In the games==
[[File:Tretta Mega Evolution icon.png|thumb|150px|The Mega Evolution sigil, as seen in {{g|Tretta}}]]
In order to Mega Evolve, most Pokémon must be holding their appropriate [[Mega Stone]] and the Trainer must have a [[Key Stone]]. Only {{p|Rayquaza}} does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

===In battle===
In any battle, each Trainer may Mega Evolve a single Pokémon once. Mega Evolution is essentially a free action a Pokémon may make in addition to its normal move, but if a Pokémon will not use a move, it cannot Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution occurs [[priority|before]] most actions except [[recall|switching]]. A Mega-Evolved Pokémon will only revert to its original state if it [[fainting|faints]] or the battle ends; if it is switched out, it will remain Mega Evolved.

A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it is being held in the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither volatile nor non-volatile [[status condition]]s such as paralysis, sleep, and infatuation will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to move that turn.

Mega Stones are not affected by most moves or Abilities. If they would move a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that could use it to Mega Evolve, the moves {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Trick}}, and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail and the Abilities {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. The move {{m|Knock Off}} cannot remove a Mega Stone from a Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve, and Knock Off's power will not be increased since it cannot remove the item. The moves {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} and the Ability {{a|Klutz}} will not prevent a Pokémon from using its respective Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.

Changes in a Pokémon's [[Ability]] will take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} that normally has {{a|Speed Boost}} will not gain a boost in Speed at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as {{m|Crunch}} that turn, it will be boosted by {{a|Strong Jaw}}, its Ability as Mega Sharpedo.

A transformed Pokémon (either by {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}) is unable to Mega Evolve. It will fail to Mega Evolve even if it is transformed into the correct species and it is holding the respective Mega Stone. However, it is possible to transform into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon by copying another Mega-Evolved Pokémon. This has no effect on the restriction that only allows each player one Mega Evolution per battle.

====Generation VI====
In [[Generation VI]], performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order. A Pokémon with a lower Speed than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon who lose Speed from Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards.

Otherwise, stat changes and type changes due to Mega Evolution take effect immediately and damage calculation proceeds as usual. For example, a Pokémon whose Mega Evolution has a lower base Defense stat takes greater damage from physical moves on the turn it Mega Evolves. Likewise, the move {{m|Gyro Ball}} considers the Pokémon's Speed stat after Mega Evolution for damage calculation, not before.

Likewise, even if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority.

When the player Mega Evolves a Pokémon for the first time since the save file is accessed, a longer animation than usual will play, showing the player activating the Mega Evolution with his or her [[Mega Bracelet]]. On subsequent uses of Mega Evolution, a shorter animation will play, showing only the Pokémon as it Mega Evolves.

====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]], a Pokémon's Speed after Mega Evolution is used to determine turn order, not its Speed before. Likewise, if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority.

{{p|Rayquaza}} cannot Mega Evolve if it holds a [[Z-Crystal]].

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], as the [[Held item]] mechanic is not implemented, the player simply needs to have the compatible Mega Stone in their bag to access a Pokémon's Mega Evolution. The player can also manually pick which form Charizard or Mewtwo can become from the move menu.

===Outside of battle===
[[File:Mega Evolution Contest Spectacular.png|thumb|220px|A {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving in a Contest Spectacular]]
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Mega Evolution can also occur during the {{pkmn|Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round}} of [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]]. If the participating Pokémon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone when its [[appeal]] causes the audience's excitement to reach its peak, it will Mega Evolve and perform a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}}. The Pokémon will remain Mega Evolved for the remainder of the Talent Round.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when summoned by the [[Eon Flute]], {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} will Mega Evolve before the player mounts it to [[soaring in the sky|soar in the sky]]. It will Mega Evolve even if it is not holding its corresponding Mega Stone, since the Eon Pokémon is summoned even if it is no longer in the player's game.
{{-}}

==Effects==
A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon (except for Mega Alakazam in Generation VI) has a base stat total 100 points higher than that of its base form.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (GO)}}
Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon GO on August 27, 2020. Rather than using a [[Mega Stone]], an eligible Pokémon instead consumes [[Mega Energy|Mega Energies]] to undergo a temporary Mega Evolution.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
[[File:Masters Mega Evolution.png|thumb|150px|Metagross Mega Evolving in Pokémon Masters EX]]
Certain [[sync pair]]s, including some Trainers that do not have Key Stones in the [[core series]], Mega Evolve their Pokémon while performing their [[sync move]]. After Mega Evolving, their sync partner will benefit from multipliers applied to all stats, chosen so that their total sum is 6.4, and sometimes additional [[move]]s and [[passive skill]]s for the rest of the battle. The following sync pairs can Mega Evolve:

Although {{mas|Zinnia}} and {{mas|Brendan}} hold a [[Key Stone]] each, their respective sync partners {{p|Rayquaza}} and {{p|Sceptile}} do not Mega Evolve with their respective sync moves.

===[[Pokémon Picross]]===
Once a player purchases a Mega Pencil from [[Professor Tetra]] for 500 Picrites, puzzles for Mega Evolutions can be solved. Furthermore, murals can be solved one tile at a time to display {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}'s Primal Reversions.

Only one Mega Evolution can be set at one time, and they cannot be brought alongside their normal forms. Their skills are higher ranked than their normal counterpart, and they can be used on larger puzzles.

===[[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. [[Mega Stone]]s for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]] is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.

===[[Pokémon Shuffle]]===
{{main|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number#Mega Evolution|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number → Mega Evolution}}
Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective [[Mega Stone]] must be obtained (or in {{p|Rayquaza}}'s case, the [[Meteorite]]), typically either by defeating its Mega-Evolved form in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle at the end of each {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Stages|Main Stage Area}} or as a prize for completing a [[Competitive Stage]] or reaching a certain point in an [[Escalation Battle]].

The Pokémon placed in the first position (furthest to the left) when selecting {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} will Mega Evolve after the player fills the Mega Gauge by matching the Pokémon being Mega Evolved or matching Pokémon with the Mega Boost(+) [[Skill]]s who are of the same [[type]] as the Pokémon being Mega Evolved. The size of the Mega Gauge depends on the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, with each Pokémon requiring different numbers of icons to be matched to fill its gauge. The [[Mega Effects]] for each Mega form vary between Pokémon, replacing the Pokémon's Skill for the remainder of the battle.

===[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]===
[[File:Mega Evolution ingame PSMD.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Evolution in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]
[[File:Berserk PSMD.png|thumb|250px|Mega Alakazam in Berserk mode]]
Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls. To achieve Mega Evolution, the player must find an [[Emera#List of emeras|Awakening Emera]] in a Dungeon. These [[Emera]]s can be attached to a Looplet of a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, causing it to Mega Evolve immediately. A Looplet attached with an Awakening emera will have a rainbow glow [[File:MDBag Looplet 3 VI Sprite.png]]. Should it be given to {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}}, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

A bar will appear above the Mega-Evolved Pokémon after it transforms and will slowly start to fill up. As long as the bar is present, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will keep their form even when moving to the next floor. Once the bar is filled, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will go into {{DL|Status conditions in the Mystery Dungeon series|Miscellaneous status conditions|Berserk mode}}. In Berserk mode, the Pokémon will move around and use a powerful attack on any Pokémon surrounding it, friend and foe alike. This will go away after a while, and the Pokémon will revert to normal. When Mega Evolved, its regular attack will get a huge boost in power and range, destroy walls, and reveal purple sparkling spots on the floor which can be picked up for an item.

Attaching an Awakening Emera to a Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve increases its stats by a lot and give it different boosts. Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve with an Awakening Emera attached will not go into Berserk mode.

Awakening Emeras are hard to find and appear randomly in dungeons; like other Emeras, they will disappear if they are not reached in time.

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]]===
Mega Evolution returns in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, here achieved by eating an Awakening Seed. Mega Evolved Pokemon also have all of the bonuses granted by the Awakened status (linked moves always result in critical hits, moves will never miss, and moves will ignore unfavorable type matchups). The only additional bonuses Mega Evolution grants compared to the Awakened status is the potential to change a Pokémon's type and ability.

As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, if {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}} Mega Evolves, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

Additionally, during {{p|Rayquaza}}'s rematch or Mewtwo's boss fight, both will Mega Evolve once their health drops below one half of their total. Mewtwo will always Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo X during its boss fight.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blaziken}}, {{p|Sceptile}}, {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, and [[Shadow Mewtwo]] are able to Mega Evolve through Synergy Burst, with Charizard and both of the Mewtwo Mega Evolving into their X forms. Mega Evolution can be triggered whenever a Pokémon capable of it has its Synergy Gauge filled up to the max during a battle. The Mega Evolved Pokémon will revert to its regular form once it has used up all of its [[Synergy]] power.

In addition, every time when Shadow Mewtwo is fought against in the game's story mode, it will Mega Evolve before the battle begins and stay in this state for the entire fight.

On the [[Dragon's Nest]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appears in the form of both an enormous statue alongside the battle arena and a drawing on the ground of the battle arena. On the [[Old Ferrum Town (Winter)]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Swampert}} appears in the form of a giant snow sculpture. Mega Rayquaza itself is also a Support Pokémon available as part of the Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
{{SSB|Charizard}} and {{SSB|Lucario}}'s [[Final Smash]]es are both Mega Evolution, which transforms them into Mega Charizard X and Mega Lucario, respectively. This Mega Evolution acts as a temporary power-up for the duration of the Final Smash.

{{SSB|Mewtwo}}'s Final Smash is {{m|Psystrike}}, which has it Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y then use Psystrike.

Mega Venusaur and Mega Blastoise appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, Mega {{p|Blaziken}}, Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}}, Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}}, Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
Mewtwo retains its [[Final Smash]] Psystrike from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, which still causes it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Lucario's Final Smash, Aura Storm, has it Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario in order to use it.

Mega Charizard X, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Lucario, and Mega {{p|Diancie}} appear as {{sbw|Spirit}}s.

==In the anime==
[[File:Blaziken Mask Mega Blaziken.png|250px|thumb|Mega Blaziken in the anime]]
===Main series===
Multiple Mega Evolutions have been featured in the {{pkmn|anime}}:

* The first Mega Evolution in the anime was featured in ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} was shown to be capable of changing between its regular form and Mega Mewtwo Y, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]]. However, because the concept of Mega Evolution had not been announced at the time of the movie's release, this transformation remains unnamed in the movie. Some Japanese promotional material for the movie as well as its {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} referred to it as Mewtwo's ''Awakened Form'' (覚醒した姿).<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref>
* The first Mega Evolution in the main series was featured in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where {{Ash}} saw a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. In the [[XY002|next episode]], it was revealed to belong to a masked hero called the [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]], saving Ash from a free fall from the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]]. It has since been seen helping Ash and {{ashfr}} on numerous occasions.
* A Mega {{p|Ampharos}} and a Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appeared as silhouettes in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'' while {{an|Professor Sycamore}} told Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} about the concept of Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Alain]] was featured traveling across the [[Kalos]] [[region]] with his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X, challenging other Mega Evolution Trainers. During the episode, Alain battled [[Astrid]]'s Mega {{p|Absol}} and [[Remo]]'s Mega {{p|Garchomp}}, and was victorious in both battles. Later in the special, he even faced the [[Elite Four]] member [[Siebold]] and his Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, but the powerful {{type|Water}} Pokémon proved to be too much for Charizard, causing Alain to lose the battle.
* All known Mega Evolutions released at the time were also featured during the intro of the aforementioned special episode.
* [[Diantha]]'s Mega {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} first appeared in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', using its Mega Evolution powers to break free from {{TRT}}'s binds.
* {{an|Korrina}} has a {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} that can Mega Evolve, and so does her grandfather [[Gurkinn]], as shown in ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]''. In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', it was shown in a flashback how one of Gurkinn's ancestors discovered a [[Key Stone]], while his Lucario discovered a [[Lucarionite]], leading to the first known Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XY033|Calling from Beyond the Aura!]]'', Korrina told Ash and his friends about a Trainer she had once met who had used a Mega Ampharos.
* A Trainer named [[Mabel]] and her Mega {{p|Mawile}} appeared in ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]''.
* {{an|Diancie}} Mega Evolved in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' in order to protect the [[Allearth Forest]] from {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restore the [[Diamond Domain]] by creating a new Heart Diamond. At the end of the movie, it was shown that a diamond Diancie had created and given to {{an|Bonnie}} earlier caused it to Mega Evolve, acting as a Key Stone.
* During the intro of ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', [[Wikstrom]] is seen Mega Evolving his {{p|Scizor}} in a battle against Diantha and her Mega Gardevoir.
* [[Steven Stone]]'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} appeared in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', as well as Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}. Both reappeared in ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]''.
* The intro of the aforementioned special episode also featured all [[#Introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|newly revealed Mega Evolutions]].
* A Mega {{p|Sableye}} appeared in [[XY051]] as part of ''[[Mega Evolution Pokédex Short|Mairin's Mega Evolution Journal]]''.
* At the end of ''Mega Evolution Special III'', Alain was seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Tyranitar}}.
* Professor Sycamore's Garchomp achieved Mega Evolution for the first time and Mega Evolved into a Mega Garchomp in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]''.
* The {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} Rayquaza that {{an|Hoopa}} summoned in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' all Mega Evolved during the movie. Much like the Mewtwo from [[M16|the sixteenth movie]], they were able to Mega Evolve without a Key Stone or their respective Mega Stones.
* In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', Alain battled ten Mega-Evolved Pokémon and their Trainers in a row, including Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Heracross}}, Mega Scizor, Mega Ampharos, Mega {{p|Aggron}}, and Mega {{p|Pinsir}}. The final Trainer of the row was the [[Elite Four]] member [[Malva]], who used a Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. At the end of the episode, Alain was also seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Banette}}.
* A Mega {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} appeared in ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', under the ownership of a [[Nurse Joy]].
* In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', [[Wulfric]] Mega Evolved his {{p|Abomasnow}} into Mega Abomasnow to fight against [[Ash's Greninja]] during their [[Gym]] battle.
* A Mega Alakazam, Mega {{p|Glalie}}, Mega {{p|Pidgeot}}, Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Shiny Mega {{p|Gengar}}, Shiny Mega Gardevoir, and several other Mega-Evolved Pokémon appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. With the exception of [[Kimia]]'s Shiny Mega Gardevoir, they were forcibly Mega Evolved by a special device known as Mega Wave, which was being used by [[Alva]] and his minions [[Levi]] and [[Cherie]]. A Mega Wave evolved Mega {{p|Heracross}} and Mega {{p|Pinsir}} were also loaned to {{TRT}}.
* A Mega {{TP|Trevor|Charizard}} Y owned by {{an|Trevor}} appeared in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'' during his [[Lumiose Conference]] battle against Alain.
* A Mega {{TP|Sawyer|Sceptile}} owned by [[Sawyer]] appeared in ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'' during his quarterfinal battle in [[Lumiose Conference]] against {{an|Tierno}}.
* [[Lysandre]]'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{p|Gyarados}} debuted in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', where it battled {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} and Alain's Charizard. It managed to knock out four of Ash's Pokémon, but was finally defeated in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]''.
* A Mega Gyarados appeared in a fantasy in ''[[SM033|Big Sky, Small Fry!]]'', where {{an|Lana}} joked about being able to catch one at [[Brooklet Hill]].
* [[Brock's Steelix]] and [[Misty's Gyarados]] Mega Evolved into Mega {{p|Steelix}} and Mega {{p|Gyarados}} in ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', while battling [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]], respectively.
* [[Gozu]]'s {{p|Aggron}} Mega Evolved into Mega Aggron in ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'' to battle {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s {{p|Braviary}} and {{an|Faba}}'s {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Hypno}}.
* [[Ilima]]'s {{p|Kangaskhan}} Mega Evolved into Mega Kangaskhan in ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'' to battle [[Guzma]]'s {{p|Scizor}}.

===Pokémon Origins===
{{OBP|Red|Origins}}'s {{TP|Red|Charizard}} was shown Mega Evolving into Mega Charizard X in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'' during Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, thanks to the Charizardite X and Key Stone given to him by [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[PO02|an earlier episode]].

===Pokémon Generations===
A Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appeared in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]'', under the ownership of [[Player character|a Trainer]], who used it to destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta|a giant meteor]]. Afterwards, it battled against a {{p|Deoxys}} that had emerged from the destroyed meteor.

[[File:Akira Mega Charizard X LDK.png|150px|thumb|left|Mega Charizard X in [[Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King]]]]
===Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King===
In [[Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King]], several main characters' Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, including {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}}, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}}'s {{p|Garchomp}}, and [[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}}.
[[File:X full Mega Evolution Adventures.png|250px|thumb|X's team achieving multiple Mega Evolutions at once in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|X & Y}}====
At first, Mega Evolution was portrayed as a relatively unknown phenomenon, known only to [[Gurkinn]] and his Successors. Since then, it became apparent that [[Team Flare]] were also after the power of Mega Evolution, with one member even compiling a list of [[Mega Stones]] that they discovered. Simultaneous Mega Evolutions can also be accomplished by a Trainer, as long as they have a Key Stone for each Pokémon they are Mega Evolving. However, doing so will cause severe mental stress on the Trainer, and they will be unable to focus on anything other than a single target until the Mega Evolution is undone.
*When [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.
*When X and his friends were attacked by Team Flare in [[Santalune City]], [[Korrina]] arrived and Mega Evolved her {{p|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario to assist them.
*In [[Lysandre Café]], [[Diantha]] had her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir to make Lysandre back off from attacking {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}}.
*The Mega Evolutions of {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Mawile}} and {{p|Garchomp}} made cameos when Gurkinn explained Mega Evolution to [[Emma|Essentia]] during her raid on the [[Tower of Mastery]]. In the subsequent chapter, Gurkinn Mega Evolved his {{p|Heracross}}.
*During Korrina's succession ceremony, three Successors demonstrated Mega Evolution to her by Mega Evolving their {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Scizor}} and {{p|Alakazam}} respectively.
*While visiting [[Lumiose City]], X met an {{p|Electrike}}, which led him to a [[Manectite]], evolving into {{p|Manectric}} in the process. Later Manectric joins X's team, Mega Evolving into Mega Manectric while facing a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}.
*During a battle against [[Team Flare]], Gurkinn's {{p|Gengar}} protected X from [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}}. It helped battle against Team Flare to stop them from capturing {{p|Xerneas}} while in tree form. It was later given it to X, at which point he nicknamed it Garma. Garma has a Gengarite, which allows X to Mega Evolve it into Mega Gengar.
*While confronting Essentia, X's Rute and Y's Solsol are given their respective Mega Stones, allowing them to Mega Evolve into Mega Pinsir and Mega Absol respectively.
*Both X's [[Salamè]] and [[Blue's Charizard]] Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y respectively, after defeating [[Xerosic]]'s Pokémon.
*After reuniting with [[Blaine]], {{adv|Mewtwo}} gained the ability to Mega Evolve into both Mega Mewtwo X and Y. Due to their bond, Mewtwo is able to Mega Evolve more than once per battle.

===={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
The role of Mega Evolution was diminished but its accessibility continued to be confined to a selected number of Trainers.
*In ''[[PAORAS01|Omega Alpha Adventure 1]]'', {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} were shown learning how to Mega Evolve their Pokémon from [[Ultima]].

==In the TCG==
Mega Evolution is mainly featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as {{Mega}}{{TCG|Pokémon-EX#M Pokémon-EX|Pokémon}}{{EX}}. They were added as a new mechanic to the game in the {{TCG|XY}} era as an evolution of Pokémon-EX cards. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn, unless that Pokémon has its specific Spirit Link [[Trainer card (TCG)#Pokémon Tool|Pokémon Tool]] attached to it.

The following is a list of cards mentioning or featuring Mega Evolved Pokémon in the Trading Card Game.

==Trivia==
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in his interview in the Nintendo Dream magazine, {{p|Flygon}} was intended to get a Mega Evolution in [[Pokémon X and Y]], but the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Pokémon designs|idea was later dropped]] due to him experiencing an artist's block.
* There is at least one Mega Evolved {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of every [[type]]: {{t|Psychic}} has the most (with ten), while both {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Electric}} have the fewest (with two each).
** Electric is the only type for which no new Mega Evolution was introduced in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].
* {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}} are the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution that are in the same evolutionary family.
* Only Pokémon which cannot evolve further are capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Rayquaza}} is the only [[trio master]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Diancie}} is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
* With {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 780|base stat totals of 780}}, Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega Rayquaza have the highest base stat totals of any obtainable Pokémon. Eternamax {{p|Eternatus}} has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon at 1125, but cannot be used by the player.
** In addition, Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest base Special Attack of all Pokémon at 194, and Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base Attack of all Pokémon at 190. Mega Mewtwo X also has the highest base stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, its Attack stat being boosted by 80 upon the process.
* {{p|Aggron}} is the only dual-type Pokémon to become single-type upon Mega Evolving, going from {{2t|Steel|Rock}}-type to pure {{type|Steel}}.
* The only Pokémon with multiple Mega Evolutions are {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}, which have two each and were introduced in [[Generation I]]. In both cases, the first ones to be revealed were the Y versions.
** In addition, both of their Y Mega Evolutions kept their original type(s), while both of their X Mega Evolutions changed or added their secondary type.
** Also, in both cases, the X Mega Evolution is more physically-oriented (with a higher Attack and/or Defense), while the Y Mega Evolution is more specially-oriented (with a higher Special Attack and/or Special Defense).
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon that does not require a [[Mega Stone]] to Mega Evolve in the core series games, instead being required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon that can have a different held item while Mega Evolved, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
** It is, furthermore, the only Pokémon to lack the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <[[Mega Stone]]> is reacting to its [[Key Stone]]!" when it Mega Evolves, as it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!" instead.
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Rayquaza needs the player to get the Meteorite for it to Mega Evolve.
** Although Rayquaza can learn Dragon Ascent in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], its Mega Evolution has been removed from the games.
* Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} are programmed into {{g|X and Y}}; as a result, they are not banned by the Kalos rules from battles, and their Mega Stones are not banned from trades between Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire and X or Y, despite being otherwise unavailable in those games.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for [[Pokémon X and Y]] include the Mega Evolution sigil.
* In the Pokémon X and Y demo, the message "''An immense new power has risen in Mewtwo!''" would be displayed before Mega Evolving. In the final game, the message displayed is "''<Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to <Trainer>'s <Key Stone item>!''" Additionally, Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as simply Mega Mewtwo.
* {{p|Slowbro}} is the only Pokémon to have both a Mega Evolution and a [[regional form]].
* The fully evolved [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon that can both Mega Evolve and [[Gigantamax]].
