Does Worker Rich in Twist Mountain's non-winter cave have a Boldore without Sturdy? I assumed minor NPCs would have standard abilities. [[User:PLA|PLA]] 16:28, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

==Terminus Cave==
I am not sure the correct way to report this sort of thing. I've never had information that wasn't already here before. I am playing Pokemon X v1.2. I am in Terminus Cave and just did a rock smash. I encountered a Boldore. Neither this page nor the Terimus Cave page mention that being a possibility. [[User:Synthetic|Synthetic]] ([[User talk:Synthetic|talk]]) 07:08, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
:Are you sure it wasn't just the [[Terminus Cave#B1F 2|Hiker's]]? People seem unable to find that thing in there and this is mentioned neither in [http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/kalos/terminuscave.shtml serebii.net] nor [http://www.ign.com/wikis/pokemon-x-y/Terminus_Cave ign.com].

== Boldore’s “Ears-Eyes” trivia request. ==

Because it was brought up in Roggenrola’s trivia. Like Roggenrola, Boldore’s ear holes have repeatedly been depicted as eyes throughout various media. Like Shadow Roggenrola, the Boldore’s inner ears become red, and the anime have shown multiple occasions where the ears were depicted as eyes: [[BW061]] (Roggenrola’s evolution), and [[BW063]], [[BW083]], and [[BW107]] (Boldore’s fainted with the spirals in the holes of its ears). Can this eye-ear depiction be also added in the trivia? [[User:MonMonPk|MonMonPk]] ([[User talk:MonMonPk|talk]]) 04:28, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

MonMonPk: /* Dub edits */ Realized no mentioned or noticed how the grapefruits were actually pomelos in the original Japanese dub. The Japanese dub called them "ザボン" which translates to pomelos. A similar that looks similar to grapefruits, but is a distinct fruit different from them.

==Blurb==

While Ash and friends are still discovering new islands, they come upon the seven Grapefruit Islands where groves of giant grapefruit are ripe and in season. When it looks like thieves are stealing the grapefruit, Ash, Tracey and Misty volunteer to help catch them. Surprisingly enough, what looked like hundreds of thieves was actually just one giant, hungry... and sleepy culprit!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive at the [[Seven Grapefruit Islands]], which are known for its large and bountiful grapefruit harvest. However, just as they pick a grapefruit for themselves, they are stopped by a girl named {{OBP|Ruby|EP094}}, who mistakes them for thieves. After clearing up the confusion, Ruby explains how they tend to the grapefruit trees to produce their high-quality grapefruits. However, Ruby also notes that they had been recently had a problem with thieves making off with the grapefruits. When the thieves strike again, Ash and his friends decide to go and help Ruby.

It is later revealed that the culprit is a {{p|Snorlax}} that has been eating the grapefruits. Devising a plan to stop Snorlax, Ash and his friends assist Ruby's staff in harvesting as many grapefruits as possible. However, all it does is lead Snorlax to their cache, and when Ash tries to fend off the Snorlax, Bulbasaur ends up being flattened by Snorlax's {{m|Body Slam}}.
[[File:Snorlax swimming.png|thumb|220px|left|Snorlax swimming "the blubberfly" between islands]]
Later, Snorlax has already eaten the first island dry. Thinking that they will be safe now that Snorlax has nowhere to go, they are surprised to find that Snorlax can swim, explaining how it arrived on the island. While Ruby and her crew try to pick the grapefruits as quickly as possible, Ash and his friends try to stop Snorlax. On the second island, {{TRT}} is also picking grapefruits to steal. However, before they can make their getaway, Snorlax, followed by Ash and his friends, races towards them. Snorlax begins to eat Team Rocket's loot, which forces Team Rocket to team up with Ash's group to try to stop Snorlax. However, they are all are no match for it.

Thinking of alternative plans to stop Snorlax, they agree on trying to put it asleep. A massage by Ash's group does not appear effective, while [[James]] and {{an|Misty}}'s methods make them fall asleep instead. [[Jessie]] gets an idea to use a Snorlax suit and pretend to be Snorlax's mother, but Team Rocket is sent blasting off from a {{m|Mega Kick}}. Now alone, Ash's group comes up with a plan to have {{an|Jigglypuff}} {{m|sing}} to it, though they need to find Jigglypuff first and before anyone can fall asleep, catch it in a [[Poké Ball]].

By chance, Ash and his friends find Ruby's staff asleep with their faces scribbled on. Surmising that Jigglypuff is nearby, they decide to build a stage for Jigglypuff, complete with colored markers and large signage. Just as Snorlax finishes stripping the second island clean and arrives on the third, Jigglypuff shows up and begins to sing, while Ash and Pikachu manage to hold off sleeping long enough to land a {{m|Thunder}} on Snorlax and catch it in a Poké Ball. Once again, Jigglypuff uses its marker and the new colored markers to scribble on everyone's faces for falling asleep.

Later, as Ash and his friends leave the island, Ruby arrives to tell them that the islands stripped bare by {{AP|Snorlax}} have since had new saplings growing. Ruby thanks them for their help by giving them a bag of candied grapefruit peels.

===Errors===
* When {{OBP|Ruby|EP094}} is talking with the group about the grapefruit, {{AP|Lapras}} seems to pass in the background twice. Either the production staff used the same clip from earlier and added on {{Tracey}} talking, or Lapras is moving around. However, when the group starts talking, Lapras is still floating around and not moving much.
* After [[James]]'s failed attempt to put {{AP|Snorlax}} asleep, Tracey's fingers on his left hand seems to have been fused together.
* In the {{pmin|Russia}}n dub by Pilot Studio, the amount of food that Snorlax eats in one day is said to be 900 kg, instead of 400 kg (900 lbs). This error previously occurred in ''[[EP041|Wake Up Snorlax!]]''.

===Dub edits===
* [[Pikachu's Jukebox]]: [[My Best Friends]]
* In the original dub, the fruits are [[wp:Pomelo|pomelos]] ([[jwp:ザボン|ザボン]]). A citrus fruit that is related to the grapefruit (a hybrid descendant of pomelos and oranges).
** The island's original name (ザボン七島) is translated as ''Seven Pomelo Islands.''

'''Hatterene''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブリムオン''' ''Brimuon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Hattrem}} starting at [[level]] 42. It is the final form of {{p|Hatenna}}.

Hatterene has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

==Biology==
Hatterene is a small humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a thin, white body. Its head is round and has a small mouth, narrow black eyes with white pupils, and two elliptical pink markings over each of its eyes resembling eyelashes or eyebrows. It has extremely long, layered, symmetrical hair, far longer than its body is tall; much like a cloak, the hair on its head drapes to the ground and swathes around it to conceal much of its true body, which is adorned by a pink semi-translucent dress that gives it a much taller silhouette, resembling that of a stereotypical sorceress or witch. This hair is colored in a gradient of baby-blue, pale pink, and white from its upper portions downwards. The hair above Hatterene's head is shaped like a wide-brimmed witch's hat with a conical shape serving as the crown of the hat formation. Extending from the pointed end of the hat is a single tentacle that ends in a pink bulb and a consecutive baby-blue bulb that has a trio of sharp claws, which can articulate in a manner similar to fingers, jutting out of it. Hatterene is a female-only species.

Hatterene has a solitary and reclusive nature, emitting psychic powers strong enough to cause headaches as a method to deter others from approaching and disturbing it. It has also been observed that it dislikes loud noises, tearing apart perpetrators with the claws on its tentacle as a result. As shown in the [[JN139|anime]], Hatterene plays with people's minds and creates illusions, deceiving them for its own pleasure. Due to its long hair obstructing its floating body, Hatterene's main forms of locomotion are levitation and short-distance teleportation. This Pokémon lives in forests with no other living creatures nearby, and as such it is known as the Forest Witch.

Thanks to powerful Dynamax energy that allowed it to assume a Gigantamax form, Gigantamax Hatterene has grown to a colossal size. While its physiology remains vastly the same, its black eyes are now blue with white pupils. In addition to this, its hair has grown and increased in volume, forming a chamber of sorts that its body sits in. On both sides of this chamber are a pair of teardrop-shaped openings. The hat-like formation on its head has also changed, with the brim being thinner and draping around it and the crown ending in a pink bulb. Attached to the said bulb is a larger baby-blue bulb that has three, long tentacles tapering from it. As seen with all Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon, three red clouds loom and swirl above the hat of Gigantamax Hatterene. Known as the Raging Goddess, Gigantamax Hatterene has the ability to sense the emotions of creatures from over 30 miles away, and it will become enraged and attack if it senses any hostility. Its tentacles are capable of firing off energy beams akin to lightning.

Hatterene is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Magic Powder}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Hatterene, {{p|Grimmsnarl}}, and their evolutionary families can be considered counterparts.
** Both are [[Generation VIII]] Pokémon evolving once at level 32, then at level 42.
** Hatterene and its pre-evolved forms are female-only, while Grimmsnarl and its pre-evolved forms are male-only.
** Each Pokémon in each evolutionary line has the same base stat total, base experience yield and [[catch rate]] as their counterpart (e.g. Hatterene and Grimmsnarl both have a base stat total of 510), except for Hatenna and Impidimp's [[catch rate]].
** These two evolutionary lines are next to each other in the [[National Pokédex]], the [[Galar Pokédex]], the [[Crown Tundra Pokédex]] and the [[Paldea Pokédex]].
** Both Pokémon are based on mythical beings from European folklore and mythology: Hatterene resembles witches, and Grimmsnarl resembles trolls, ogres, and goblins.
** Both Pokémon are {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon based around long hair that have their {{stat|Speed}} drop upon evolution.
** Both Pokémon are the signature Pokémon of a [[rival]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] who is a succeeding [[Gym Leader]] and [[Gigantamax|Gigantamaxes]] it ([[Bede]]'s Hatterene and [[Marnie]]'s Grimmsnarl).
* Despite Hatterene's means of movement involves short-distance teleportation, it cannot learn the move [[Teleport]].

===Origin===
Hatterene may be inspired by forest witches from European folklore that are used to frighten children that do not want to sleep or stay quiet, such as {{wp|Baba Yaga}}, the {{wp|hag}} from the {{wp|Hansel and Gretel}} fairy tale, and especially {{wp|Coco (folklore)|Cuca}} due to its connection with Grimmsnarl. Hatterene may also take inspiration from {{wp|Hattara}}, a female forest troll or race of giants from Finnish mythology; Hattara is also the Finnish name for cotton candy which may be the basis of Hatterene's color scheme of pink, white and blue, the main three colors of cotton candy. Its appearance may be inspired by {{wp|Harionago}}, a female ghoul from Japanese folklore described as a beautiful woman that uses its extremely long hair tipped with thorn-like barbs to attack. Its tentacle(s) and aversion to offensive behavior may also be a reference to the {{wp|Sea witch (folklore)|sea witch}}. The hat-like hair on its head seems to represent a stereotypical witch's hat mixed with a {{wp|hennin}}, a headwear commonly worn by noblewomen in the Middle Ages.

Hatterene's relatively small body, as well as the "windows" in its hair-like tentacles in its Gigantamax form, resemble the common fairy tale motif of a girl locked away in a tower; in particular, it may reference {{wp|Rapunzel}}, a fairy tale recorded by the {{wp|Brothers Grimm}} about a girl who was locked by a sorceress in a tower, and whose hair was long enough to reach the ground from the top of her tower.

====Name origin====
Hatterene may be a combination of ''hatter'' and ''serene''.

Brimuon may be a combination of ''brim'' and 無音 ''muon'' (silence).

'''Inteleon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''インテレオン''' ''Intereon'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

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

Inteleon has a [[Gigantamax]] form that was introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]].

==Biology==
[[File:Inteleon membrane.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Jacqueline]]'s Inteleon's nictitating membrane, as seen after using {{m|Snipe Shot}}]]
[[File:Goh Inteleon gliding.png|left|thumb|250px|[[Goh's Inteleon]] gliding through the air]]
Inteleon is a bipedal, reptilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a chameleon. Its head, slender arms, and tail are light blue in coloration, with the tail having a thin dark blue streak following the ridge of the tail. The tail contains a sharp knife hidden within. This dark blue coloration is also seen at the tip of his head crest and on its slender torso, which continues down the backside of its legs until the bottom of the feet. The front side of its legs and feet are black, ending in three-pointed toes. Its hands are also black and have five fingers. Its eyes have yellow irises and white pupils with a black lower lid and a yellow upper lid, and the yellow portion creates a semi-circular pattern on its face. It has black nictitating membranes that extend over its eyes when using Snipe Shot. This yellow skin is also seen on its crest, which is connected from the top of its head to the back of its neck before falling over its back in a cape-like fashion. This crest is thin and wavy, similar to a fin. It has a white diamond-shaped patch of skin on its stomach.

Inteleon has many hidden capabilities. It has a long, extendable yellow membrane on its back that allows it to glide in the air and darkly-colored {{wp|nictitating membrane}}s that allow it to analyze for an opponent's weak point. This helps it precisely shoot water from its fingertips at Mach 3. It also has a sharp knife hidden in its tail. Inteleon is highly intelligent, carefully thinking out strategies before entering combat to ensure a swift and decisive victory. It is also known to be quite chivalrous and is completely loyal to {{pkmn|Trainers}} it sees as worthy.<ref> https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/inteleon/</ref> As seen in the anime, Inteleon has the ability to camouflage itself like its pre-evolved forms.

As Gigantamax Inteleon, it has become larger with a noticeable change. Its tail has extended to 130 feet while stretching out to resemble a pillar. It also has dark purple frills circling around the tail. The rest of the tail coils around to resemble a platform for Inteleon to take a battle position on. It also gains a small blue harpoon that attaches to one of its index fingers. The white sclerae in its eyes change to dark red. Three red clouds circle around the tail a short distance below the coiled tail platform.

As a result of Gigantamaxing, its many hidden body tools have been enhanced. With its sharp mind, this extremely skilled sniper can figure out how to use gravity for a precise trajectory shot. This allows Gigantamax Inteleon to hit even a berry that is nine miles away. Its nictitating membranes can now detect temperature, air pressure, and humidity.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/gigantamax-inteleon/</ref>

Inteleon is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the move, {{m|Snipe Shot}}, and the exclusive [[G-Max Move]], {{m|G-Max Hydrosnipe}}.

==Trivia==
* Inteleon is tied with:
** {{p|Sceptile}} for the lowest base {{stat|HP}} stat of all fully evolved [[starter Pokémon]].
** Sceptile and {{p|Emboar}} for the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all fully evolved starter Pokémon.
** Emboar for the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all fully evolved starter Pokémon.

===Origin===
Inteleon's name and previous evolved forms indicate it is partly based on {{wp|chameleon}}s, likely the {{wp|veiled chameleon}} due to the crest and color scheme similar to that of the males, and possibly {{wp|Basiliscus (genus)|basilisk lizard}}s as well. However, Inteleon's appearance seems to be heavily influenced by {{wp|Draco (genus)|flying lizards}}. Its tail becomes less curly and the head crest now features a membrane spanning the back and sides, that is used to glide.

Furthermore, Inteleon follows the motif of British intelligence with the hands being often posed like a gun, spouting water out of the fingertips, while the coloring of the skin in the belly forms a pattern resembling a blue jacket and black trousers on a white shirt.

All these origin factors, including its category name, reveals how its heavily based on {{wp|Espionage#Spy_fiction|spies from popular culture}}.

Inteleon's [[Gigantamax]] form seems to draw inspiration from a {{wp|sniper}} aiming from a rooftop.

====Name origin====
Inteleon and Intereon may be a combination of ''intelligence'' and ''chameleon''.

'''Morpeko''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モルペコ''' ''Morpeko'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Morpeko can change forms with its {{a|Hunger Switch}} Ability.

==Biology==
Morpeko is a short, chubby rodent {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who can change forms via its {{a|Hunger Switch}} [[Ability]], which alters its appearance. The features shared between the two forms are short, stubby arms and feet, a pair of pink circular cheek pouches, a very tiny nose, two almond-shaped ears with a single fur tuft under each, and a primary body color separating two areas of fur which cover the arms, ears, cheeks, and eyes, and zigzag inward towards its face, stopping at the waist line. These fur patches form pockets in which it is seen storing seeds. One the back of its body is a pattern outward from the bottom half of its fur that resembles a [[Pikachu]] tail. In its Full Belly mode, its body is a creamy yellow in color, its eyes are circular and black with large white pupils, the fur on the left side of its body is black, and on the right side, it is brown. A single bucktooth can be seen protruding from its smiling mouth. While in its Hangry Mode, Morpeko's primary body color turns purple, its eyes become downward-slanting red semi-circles, and the right-hand patch of fur turns from brown to black so that it matches the other side. Its mouth is also constantly formed into an angry snarl.

Morpeko carries around [[Berry]] seeds that have been electrically roasted in its pockets. It treats the seeds with care as if they were precious treasures, until it eats them as a snack. Regardless, it will still be hungry no matter how much it eats. By experiencing prolonged hunger, the hormones in Morpeko changes, and its fur color changes.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/morpeko/</ref> As a result of intense hunger, Morpeko becomes extremely aggressive, driven into committing all kinds of evil deeds and enacting extreme violence until its hunger is satisfied. As seen in the [[JN047|anime]], when Morpeko's hunger is satisfied, it will refuse to eat more food and attack anyone who tries to feed it. The energy with its cheeks changes from an {{type|Electric}} energy to {{type|Dark}} energy. Morpeko is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Aura Wheel}}.

==Trivia==
* No other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Morpeko.
* Morpeko is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 436.

===Origin===
Morpeko may be based on the {{wp|golden hamster}} with some elements of a {{wp|guinea pig}}. Like Morpeko, hamsters are known for biting and exhibiting violent {{wp|Territory (animal)|territorial behavior}}, {{wp|Hoarding (animal behavior)|hoarding food}}, and having incredibly high {{wp|metabolism}}s, hence its {{type|Dark}} and [[Hunger Switch (Ability)|Hangry Mode]]. On top of that, its [[signature move]] {{m|Aura Wheel}} may be a reference to {{wp|hamster wheel}}s. Its color scheme may be inspired on the broken color pattern found in many {{wp|List of guinea pig breeds|guinea pig breeds}}.

====Name origin====
Morpeko may be a combination of モルモット ''morumotto'' ({{wp|guinea pig}}) and 腹ペコ ''hara peko'' (hungry, starving).

Talk:Nidoran♂ (Pokémon)

2020-11-28T04:14:23Z

MonMonPk: /* Origin (a certain Kaiju) */ new section

== Interlinked ==

See [[Talk:Nidoran♀ (Pokémon)]] for discussion about interlinking the families. [[User:User142|User142]] ([[User talk:User142|Talk]]) 13:15, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

== Translation ==

The correct translation of Nidoran♂'s Japanese name is ''Nidoran'osu'', since ''osu'' means ''male'' in Japanese. In addition, The correct translation of Nidoran♀'s Japanese name is ''Nidoran'mesu'', since ''mesu'' means ''female'' in Japanese. [[User:Missingno000|欠番]] 17:25, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

== Box ==

Can someone remove that obnoxious box?[[User:DCM|DCM]][[User talk:DCM|((曲奇饼妖怪]][[Special:Contributions/DCM|Spy on My Edits))]]

:What "box"? [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[User talk:Chocolate|Chat with Me]]) 03:54, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

::The arwork's yellow border, I think. It also appears in Cresselia's page.--[[User:Kevzo8|Ke]][[Special:Contributions/Kevzo8|vz]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|o8]] 04:02, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

== Eggs ==

Can a Nidoran♂'s egg hatch into a Nidoran♀? {{unsigned|Bulbafreak9000}}
:Nidoran♂ don't lay egg... he's a male. '''►[[User:Kevzo8|Ҝə]][[Special:Contributions/Kevzo8|υz]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|ø8]]''' 00:34, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
:: I mean if you breed it with a Ditto. {{unsigned|Bulbafreak9000}}
:::It would hatch into a Nidoran♂, since no Nidoran♀ is involved. This also applies to Volbeat. '''►[[User:Kevzo8|Ҝə]][[Special:Contributions/Kevzo8|υz]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|ø8]]''' 03:58, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

== Gender ==

Could it be said that Nidoran is the first Pokemon to have gender differences, and the first to have gender-based evolutions?[[User:Reign|Reign]] 02:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
:It could be, however they are recognised as two different Pokémon by the game data. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 02:43, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
::thats only because gameboys were too basic to handle the games that were on them as it is, look at all the glitches! if they had genders and gender specific evolutions, the game would have almost definitly crashed. GBCs would have struggled with gender specific evolutions too, i imagine, but thats my oppinion, and i know this is over a year old, but i just thought it was worth mentioning {{Unsigned|Ben7229}}

== Tail ==

Could you mention that despite being able to learn poison tail and iron tail it has no visible tail? [[User:Emeraldben]]
:I'm not sure if this is notable or not, the reason being that both are learned by breeding, and its evolution, Nidoking has a tail. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 14:58, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
*Ah right good point I agree with you now thanks [[User:Emeraldben]]

== Head Smash ==

How could the male Nidoran learn Head Smash via breeding? All of them are male only species and the female counterparts cannot learn the move. The rules of breeding imply that the egg hatches depending on the female while the egg moves are passed on from the male involved. Breeding the male Nidoran with a male Pokémon compatible won't work. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 05:03, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
:Male Nidoran can hatch from eggs laid by female Nidoran and Nidorina. The same is true of Volbeat and Illumise. It's what makes them definite gender counterparts. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 18:08, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
::Does that apply to Generation V only or for all generations? [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 22:33, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
:::[[Pokémon breeding#What will hatch|All generations, except for Volbeat producing Illumise eggs.]] [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 03:49, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

== Name Origin ==

I know it says that the "ran" is "orchid" in Japanese which may be true, but I don't see what orchids have to do with Nidoran. "Orchids are flowers that can be purple or blue, these being the same colors as the male and female evolutionary forms of Nidoran, respectively" ... this is wrong, orchids are commonly purple, but there are no true blue orchids (the ones you see in shops are all dyed!) so a blue orchid is rare and unusual. But yeah I don't think the fact that orchids are purple and Nidoran♂ is purple has any significant meaning 0_o "ran" is probably another word that's been shortened, or perhaps it has an alternate meaning... I think the link with orchids is coincidental, at best... ?

EDIT: So I looked into it a bit more and らん (pronounced ran) in hiragana means "orchid". However in katakana, which is what Nidoran seems to be written in, ラン (still pronounced ran) means "run" (according to google). This makes more sense to me as Nidoran looks similar to a rhino, maybe "run" is in reference to the way rhinos charge when threatened....? Having convinced myself that I'm right, I am going to edit the page, I hope it made sense. If anyone knows better change it back, but please explain why here... thx :) [[User:NekoEmmi|NekoEmmi]] ([[User talk:NekoEmmi|talk]]) 08:14, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
:{{wp|Vanda|Blue orchids are quite natural}}, and Google translations should not be used as source material. Please do not change name origins without reasonable discussion & evidence. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 08:26, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

::Ok... I'll leave the page alone, I don't seem to know what I'm doing, that's why I asked on here first.

::But let's start a reasonable discussion :) I haven't just looked at google translate, the usage of ラン on pages like runnet.jp seem to suggest that "ran" can also be used to mean run. And if you image search it, sure you get loads of pictures of orchids but also some of people running (or at least, posing in running outfits) ;). Although orchid is the more common usage of the word, even if run is less frequently used, isn't it still worth considering? There are plenty of other Pokémon where for the Japanese version, the creators have used English words when naming their Pokémon. Even the name Pokémon is a corruption of English. ラン being a corruption of the English word "run" certainly makes more sense to me than being literally translated to "orchid", in the context of a Nidoran♂ or Nidoran♀! It could even be a corruption of "rhino", shortened. In fact the word "Rhine" is written as ライン in Japanese. It's not far from ラン, especially not phonetically. I'd really like someone fluent in Japanese to butt in at this point and let me know if this makes sense or if I'm just talking rubbish!

::About blue orchids... I'm really genuinely interested in this, I searched for a bit just now but couldn't find any natural blue orchids, and there weren't any when I studied it, but tbh that was a while ago now. In fact 'true' blue is rare in any flower. The link you provided was for ''Vanda spp.'' and I know that ''coerulea'' means blue, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the "Blue Orchid" is blue, I know colour is subject to opinion but ''Vanda coerulea'' certainly looks purple to me. A 'Russian Blue' cat looks grey to me. In Japan they have blue apples and blue traffic lights too, but it's just the way they're named; if you ask most people what colour they see, they will say it's green. Actually I think ''Thelymitra pauciflora'' typically appears to be more of a blue colour than ''V. coerulea'', but I would still say that it's purple really. You can commonly buy ''Phalaenopsis spp.'' in 'true' blue, the most famous is the Royal Blue, but these are dyed. Once they have finished flowering, any new flowers that grow will just be white (unless, you add more dye yourself). Sorry if I'm being really pernickerty, I just really like etymology, and orchids.... If you do know of a natural true blue orchid, please tell me because I'd really love to buy one, I've been searching for years! :)

::Anyway back to the topic, if my thoughts on the derivative of "ran" weren't rubbish, I was just planning to add something like this:
::'''"Also, the Japanese word ran is translated as orchid in English. It's also possible that ran is a corruption of 'run' or 'rhino'."'''

::I would leave out the part about the colour of orchids as it's misleading information about orchids. Even if I accept that to some people blue orchids are 'blue' in the same way that bluebells are (even though they look purple to me), saying that "Orchids are flowers that can be purple or blue" is misleading. They aren't commonly blue, even the best-known wild blue orchid varieties are mostly native to tropical rain forests and rare, and therefore highly sought after. Also, orchids are among the most diversely colourful flowers in the plant kingdom. The way this is phrased makes it sound like they're only blue or purple. It's like saying, leaves can be red or yellow, in the same way that Charmanders are. It sounds odd because sure, leaves can be red or yellow, but they're not normally... [[User:NekoEmmi|NekoEmmi]] ([[User talk:NekoEmmi|talk]]) 10:02, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

:::Saying 'ran' is from 'rhino' corrupted into 'Rhine' is just forcing it. Rhine is not related to rhino and the latter would be written as ライノー in Japanese. And like you said, color can be subjective. Whether it's blue or violet, it depends on one's perspective. The article just states it ''can'' be blue or violet, though I have to admit that orchids do come in a variety of colors. I would suggest 藍 ''ran'' (indigo blue) as an alternate origin. --[[User:神奇超龍|'''超龍''']]「'''[[User talk:神奇超龍|Chao]]'''」 12:07, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

== Origin (a certain Kaiju) ==

When looking at Nidoran (both genders) and their evolutionary line-up. Don't they closely resemble the Kaiju Baragon? Especially when you focus on the horns and large ears. Even the fact how Nidoqueen/Nidoking are ground type (Baragon's ability to burrow fast) seems like a references to Baragon. Can I add this to Origins or is that not good enough?([[User:MonMonPk|MonMonPk]] ([[User talk:MonMonPk|talk]]) 04:14, 28 November 2020 (UTC))

Chic

'''Chic''' (Japanese: '''ちゃも''' ''Chamo''), known as '''Toro''' in [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations, is a {{p|Blaziken}} that {{adv|Sapphire}} owns in [[Pokémon Adventures]] and one of her first Pokémon. Chic was given to Sapphire by her father, [[Professor Birch]]. As of ''[[PS266|It All Ends Now VII]]'', she is level 59 and her [[Characteristic]] is "thoroughly cunning."

==History==
==={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}===
[[File:Chic Torchic.png|thumb|left|100px|As a Torchic]]
Prior to the start of her {{pkmn|journey}}, {{adv|Sapphire}} received Chic as a {{p|Torchic}} from her father [[Professor Birch]]. Chic first appeared in the end of ''[[PS182|Making Mirth with Mightyena]]'', resting atop Sapphire's head. It was soon revealed that the two rescued {{adv|Ruby}} from a pack of wild {{p|Mightyena}} and took him to Sapphire's [[Secret Base]]. Upon waking up, the beauty-obsessed boy thought she was a Pokémon, and attacked after she started talking. Despite her type disadvantage against his newly received [[Mumu|Mudkip]], she was able to defeat him, and then fought a wild {{p|Seviper}}, though she failed to finish it off.

In ''[[PS188|Lombre Larceny]]'', Chic battled [[Team Aqua]], as they had trapped a [[Fofo|Castform]] in a fountain. Both Chic and [[Rono]] defeated Team Aqua's {{p|Sharpedo}} and {{p|Carvanha}}, but they took damage from their [[Ability]] {{a|Rough Skin}}. Due to the injury, Rono was unable to take out [[Shelly]]'s {{p|Ludicolo}}, but Chic was able to defeat it with help from Castform.

In ''[[PS195|Mashing Makuhita]]'', Sapphire trains Chic and Rono at [[Granite Cave]] in order to prepare for her [[Gym]] battle against [[Brawly]]. After training for most of the day the two [[evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Combusken}} and {{p|Lairon}}. Sapphire then goes to Brawly and begins their battle. Chic first battles against his {{p|Machop}}. Due to her increased speed and power she easily overpowers Machop, forcing Brawly to switch it in. Chic is later sent out against his {{TP|Brawly|Makuhita}}. Due to its {{a|Thick Fat}} Ability and Jū fighting style Chic is overwhelmed and slammed into a wall, getting her claw stuck in the process. Makuhita then evolves into {{p|Hariyama}} and moves in to finish Chic off with {{m|Counter}}. Although it looks like Chic lost Hariyama soon fainted, as Chic attacked twice thanks to {{m|Double Kick}}.
[[File:Chic Combusken.png|thumb|left|175px|As a Combusken]]
In ''[[PS199|Adding It Up with Plusle & Minun II]]'', Chic was used alongside Rono to battle [[Courtney]] and her {{p|Ninetales}}. The two were quickly defeated.

In ''[[PS212|Bubble Bubble Toil and Azumarill I]]'', Chic battled [[Matt]] and his {{p|Azumarill}}. Chic was quickly overwhelmed and pushed back by the Aqua Rabbit Pokémon's water attacks.

In ''[[PS216|Mixing It Up with Magcargo]]'', Chic battled Team Aqua. Sapphire has Chic and [[Troppy]] launch a barrage of attacks that continue to get countered, no matter how hard they try. Sapphire, suddenly realizing something, has Chic and Troppy hold their fire. Approaching the "enemy," Sapphire discovers that a ring of {{m|Mirror Coat}} has been set up around them, reflecting all their attacks back upon themselves, and that Team Aqua had left long ago.

In ''[[PS226|I Dare Ya, Altaria... Knock Chic off My Shoulder]]'', Chic battled [[Winona]] and her {{TP|Winona|Altaria}}. The two begin by exchanging a few blows, and Chic hides in the trees to get above {{p|Altaria}}. Chic soon jumps out and uses {{m|Double Team}} to confuse Altaria, followed up by slamming Altaria down to the ground, causing her to evolve into Blaziken. With her new form Sapphire assumes that {{m|Blaze Kick}} will be powerful enough to win and has Chic score a direct hit. Winona takes advantage of their cocky attitude and has Altaria heal its burn with {{m|Refresh}} before defeating Chic with a powered up {{m|Sky Attack}} from {{m|Dragon Dance}}.

In ''[[PS248|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon X]]'', Chic, alongside Ruby and Sapphire's other Pokémon, battled [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]]. She and Mumu attempted to deliver a decisive blow, but failed to do any real damage. In ''[[PS252|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV]]'', Chic and Mumu attack the meteor fragment coming from Archie and Maxie, which sends a powerful blast of energy out. The energy hits Maxie and Archie's foreheads, turning them back to normal and stops the power of the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s.

In ''[[PS267|It All Ends Now VIII]]'', Chic battled alongside the rest of Sapphire and Ruby's Pokémon against Maxie and Archie.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
In ''[[PS321|Cunning Kirlia]]'', Chic advanced Sapphire through the [[Battle Dome]].

In ''[[PS327|Facing Gulpin Is Hard to Swallow]]'', Chic helped Sapphire, Ruby, {{adv|Emerald}}, and [[Noland]] advance through the {{gdis|Battle Tower|III}} to reach [[Guile Hideout]].

In ''[[PS330|The Final Battle III]]'', Chic is taught the ultimate move {{m|Blast Burn}}. She was soon used alongside [[Blue's Charizard]] and {{adv|Gold}}'s [[Exbo]] to attack with Blast Burn to help destroy Guile Hideout's fake {{p|Kyogre}}.

==={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}===
[[File:Sapphire and Chic.png|thumb|right|150px|Chic and Sapphire]]
In ''[[PAORAS03|Omega Alpha Adventure 3]]'', Chic, alongside Mumu and Emerald's {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}, trained under [[Ultima]] in order to fully master the {{m|Frenzy Plant|ultimate}} {{m|Hydro Cannon|moves}}. The training was issued by {{Steven}} and [[Mr. Stone]] as part of a plan dedicated to preventing a giant [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] from crashing into the planet. With a set of [[Mega Bracelet]]s and [[Mega Stone]]s obtained from Steven, Chic gained the ability to use [[Mega Evolution]]. After a day of training, Chic fully mastered Blast Burn and attained her Mega-Evolved state.

With the training over, Mr. Stone had everyone taken to the [[Sea Mauville]] for the next stage of the plan. [[PAORAS07|There]], Chic and Sceptile were put on a set of machines known as the [[ultimate weapon|Absorber]] and ordered to coat themselves in the power of the ultimate moves. Once ready, Mr. Stone and Steven active the Absorbers, which proceed to painfully drain the life energy of Chic and Sceptile. The energy was converted into [[Infinity Energy]] and used to power a device called the dimensional shifter capable of warping the meteoroid to another location.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Blazikenite Adventures.png|thumb|left|150px|Chic's Blazikenite]]
As a {{p|Torchic}}, Chic was rash and often acted first before assessing the situation. After [[evolution|evolving]], Chic became more reasonable and soft-spoken, and was shown getting along with others much easier. She is a very strong Pokémon and is the powerhouse of {{adv|Sapphire}}'s team. She is also very strong-willed and doesn't back down from any challenge, no matter how difficult.

MonMonPk: /* Trivia */ thinking how Silver and Gold catching Urasring and Teddiursa is so similar to how Pokemon GO works.

'''{{tt|Teddiursa's Picnic|VIZ Media}}''' or '''{{tt|My Chubby Teddiursa|Chuang Yi}}''' (Japanese: '''VS ヒメグマ''' ''VS {{tt|Himeguma|Teddiursa}}'') is the 101st round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
This round begins with {{adv|Gold}} reaching {{rt|32|Johto}} to find [[Polibo]]'s {{i|Poké Ball}}. There, he meets up with [[Wilton]], who then informs him of the sneak thief who'd been stealing Poké Balls off many fishermen right after they captured the Pokémon. Soon, though, before the man could finish his explanation, a shadowy figure deftly snatches the Poké Ball he was holding, and an angry Gold uses his billiards pole to hit the pilferer straight in the jaw. It is then revealed as a wild {{p|Granbull}} that had a dislocated jaw it needed to have fixed, and Gold's shot did just that. The two then order the calmed Pokémon to give back the Poké Balls it took, and among the dozens it spat, Polibo's was among them. After Gold and [[Aibo]] rejoice their tearful reunion, Wilton offers his phone number for Gold to register, all while thinking that the boy's performance with his billiards pole was as impressive as {{adv|Yellow|his niece}}'s adroitness in handling a fishing rod.

Gold then happily walks about (musing that Wilton was one strange guy, of course), before formally introducing [[Exbo]] and {{DL|Gold (Adventures)|Sunbo}} to the {{p|Poliwag}}. On his [[Pokégear]], he informs the good news to [[Joey]] and [[Professor Elm]] while noting that since the transportation devices aren't working, he'll just have to keep Polibo on his team for now. A figure then jumps out of the grass, to whom Gold asks "what" he is, before he introduces himself as one of Professor Elm's assistants, who wants to leave a [[Pokémon Egg]] with Gold for safekeeping. Professor Elm then informs Gold of his failed attempts at having it hatch, which he deems an important project, due to the fact that no one has yet seen an egg hatch. Gold flips out and asks just what his research has to do with anything, but he replies that a stimulus of being in a more active environment might be able to speed up the process.

Meanwhile, {{adv|Silver}} visits [[Kurt]]'s house in [[Azalea Town]], where an overworked Kurt soon hands him a [[Heavy Ball]] crafted from the [[Black Apricorn]] he had given to the old man earlier. Soon, Gold too reaches the town and sees an [[Apricorn]] tree, from which he picks (what he thought to be) "an edible fruit," and Kurt's granddaughter gets a laugh at him before telling him that the Apricorns are meant for creating special [[Poké Ball]]s with. Gold then mocks the practice and says it's a waste, to which Kurt cavorts in rage and tells him that before Poké Balls were mass-produced at factories, the Poké Balls made by his family for generations were the norm. He then adds that with Gold's level of discipline, the beginner Poké Balls sold at [[Poké Mart]]s are probably the most fitting, but this time ''Gold'' barks in a rage and tells him that if he can't use one of his oh-so-magnificent Balls properly, he'll work as Kurt's apprentice for the rest of his life. Kurt then orders Gold to pick one of those fruits so he can craft a Poké Ball for him, and the boy yells just why he has to pick the Apricorn in the first place.

Soon, with a Friend Ball in his hands, he promises that with the Poké Ball he obtained, he'll catch a friend for the little girl, who then requests that it be a {{p|Teddiursa}}, which she has heard is around the mountains nearby. Gold complains that she should've picked a safer environment to catch one from, only for a wild {{p|Ursaring}}, the evolved form of Teddiursa, to attack them from behind. They then find themselves on the run, only to bump into Silver, who Gold suspects stole the Heavy Ball he's holding, but the girl corrects him and says that Kurt made one for him. Gold is a little peeved that the old man would find him unworthy of his Poké Balls and give a handmade one to the redhead, and swiftly changes his target to the Ursaring. After Aibo is ordered to attack, Silver calls him a flout for trying to steal his target, but Gold tells him that it's a fair game, but finding Aibo, {{TP|Silver|Croconaw}}, and {{TP|Silver|Sneasel}}'s attacks to be of annoyance, the enraged bear attacks the girl, whom Gold saves, but when her favorite Pokémon, Teddiursa, jumps in, Gold ends up spraining his ankle.

==Major events==
* {{adv|Gold}} finds [[Polibo]].
* Gold receives an [[Eggy|Egg]].
* {{adv|Silver}} receives a [[Heavy Ball]].
* Gold receives a [[Friend Ball]].

The '''red Gyarados''' (Japanese: '''あかいギャラドス''' ''Red Gyarados'') is a term used to refer to a {{p|Gyarados}} that is {{Shiny}}, which is red rather than its usual blue. According to the anime, this is due to the forced evolution; the {{p|Magikarp}} it evolves from retains its red color, having no time to change its scale color to blue. Unlike most Shiny Pokémon, the red Gyarados's existence is [[canon]] in that it is encountered as part of an event in the [[Generation II]] games and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|their remakes]].

==In the games==
===In the core series===
[[File:Red Gyarados Encounter HGSS.png|thumb|left|Encountering the red Gyarados in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
In {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver|s}}, {{v2|Crystal}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the red Gyarados is found in the [[Lake of Rage]]. It, along with other {{p|Magikarp}} at the lake, were forced to evolve by [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Pokégear#Radio|Radio]] broadcast. Afterwards, the Lake of Rage was considered a dangerous place to go, as the red Gyarados started tipping over boats and scaring swimmers. The player has one chance to catch it and the incident triggers the battle against [[Team Rocket]] in the [[Team Rocket HQ]] in [[Mahogany Town]]. When captured or defeated, the red Gyarados drops a [[Red Scale]]. While this is the only chance to catch the Red Gyarados in the original games, it will respawn in the remakes after the player defeats [[Lance]] and the [[Elite Four]], should the player fail to capture it.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, in the [[Rocket Warehouse]] located on [[Five Island]], one of the computers displays information about induced evolution using electromagnetic waves, hinting at what occurs to other Gyarados in Generation II's Lake of Rage.

Sightings of a red Gyarados were [[Pokémon nation|national]] news. {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} begins with a news report broadcast in [[Twinleaf Town]] of [[Sinnoh]], according to which the Red Gyarados had eluded detection by a research crew; it is unknown to which point in time this corresponds in the [[Johto]]-based games, although they happened the same time. The player accompanies {{ga|Barry|their best friend}} to [[Lake Verity]] in the hopes of seeing a similar Pokémon. In {{game|Platinum}}, this reference was removed, but a cameraman in the [[Battle Zone]] comments he filmed it, and claims it was "award winning".

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, [[Lana]] jokes about having reeled in a red Gyarados once.

While the easiest and most common way to obtain a red Gyarados is at the Lake of Rage in Generations II or IV, any {{Shiny}} Gyarados will be red, no matter how it is encountered, through evolution of a gold Magikarp or by encountering it with the normal 1/8192 odds. This is the only possible way to get a red Gyarados outside of the Johto-based games without trading.

====History====
=====[[Original series]]=====
[[File:Lance Magikarp.png|thumb|left|200px|As a Magikarp in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The red Gyarados debuted in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'', where it leaped out of the [[Lake of Rage]] and fired a {{m|Hydro Pump}} at {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. However, the attack did not hit them. Later, during a [[Team Rocket]] plot, {{OBP|Tyson|Team Rocket}} assigned [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} to capture the red Gyarados. They successfully found the Gyarados and lured it to the surface where the other Team Rocket members caught it in a net. Ash and the group came by and unsuccessfully stopped Team Rocket from getting away with Gyarados, and they too got captured by Team Rocket. [[Professor Sebastian]] explained to them that the red Gyarados was forcibly evolved from a normal-colored Magikarp. Since it didn't have time to officially complete the evolution, the coloration of the Pokémon ended up staying red instead of turning blue.

During ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', after Team Rocket's success in catching the red Gyarados, they decided to do some research on it. Meanwhile, [[Lance]] found out that the Evolution Inducement Ray was the cause of all the unevolved Pokémon growing tired. He then destroyed its source with the help of his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}'s {{m|Hyper Beam}}. After the machine was destroyed, all of the side effects it caused disappeared. No longer affected by the ray, the red Gyarados began to go on a rampage. It then escaped from the helicopters Team Rocket was carrying it in and dove into the water below. The red Gyarados continued its rampage, destroying everything in sight with Hyper Beam. Ash tried to stop it from going berserk, but it had no effect, making Gyarados retaliate with Hydro Pump. The Team Rocket grunts tried catching it with another net. This time, Ash sent out {{AP|Bayleef}} to cut the net with {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Just when the grunts were defeated, the [[Team Rocket trio]] arrived and shot a different net at the red Gyarados. Gyarados broke free from the net and went on another rampage, moving towards the river in [[Mahogany Town]]. [[Pryce]] stopped the Atrocious Pokémon from going any further by having his {{p|Dewgong}} use {{m|Ice Beam}} on the river. Lance, after defeating Tyson, battled the red Gyarados with his Dragonite in order for it to calm down. Lance successfully did so and caught the red Gyarados, promising to take care of it like a friend.

The Red Gyarados reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'', when Ash and his friends told Clair about what happened in Mahogany Town.

The Red Gyarados is Lance's second Gyarados. As shown in {{jo|Marina}}'s fantasy in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', Lance already owned a regular Gyarados before ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]''.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====
In ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'', Lance sent Gyarados to save {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Brock}} from drowning after they escaped from [[Team Magma]]'s sinking [[Team Magma Hideout|base]]. It then carried them to [[Monsu Island]].

In ''[[AG098|The Shuffle of Legends]]'', Gyarados was briefly used to exchange blows with {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Kyogre (AG)|Kyogre}}. It later helped May, Max, and Brock to distract [[Archie]], allowing {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon (AG)|Groudon}} to attack Kyogre and defeat it.

=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====
[[File:Lance Red Gyarados Dynamax.png|thumb|250px|Gyarados Dynamaxed in the anime]]
In ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', Gyarados was used to battle [[Leon]]'s {{p|Charizard}} during the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]]. During the battle, Lance was revealed to possess a [[Dynamax Band]], which he used to [[Dynamax]] his Gyarados; Leon responded by [[Gigantamax]]ing his Charizard. Despite possessing the type advantage, Gyarados was ultimately defeated.

====Personality and characteristics====
Prior to Lance capturing the red Gyarados, it had a bad temper towards people. It became worse after the machine forcing Pokémon to evolve got destroyed. Because of the increased rage, Gyarados easily broke out of the prisons Team Rocket held it in. After Lance caught Gyarados, it calmed down. As a result, in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', Gyarados got along with people better and worked with Ash's friends to stop the fight with {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon (AG)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Kyogre (AG)|Kyogre}}.

===In Pokémon Generations===
In ''[[PG04|The Lake of Rage]]'', [[Lance]] and his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}} battled the red Gyarados in a flashback. Its appearance was what inspired Lance to investigate the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. Later, after [[Team Rocket]]'s radio wave generator had been destroyed, Lance witnessed the red Gyarados calming down and diving back into the depths of the lake.

This red Gyarados was the leader of a group of Gyarados. When [[Team Rocket]] used the Goldenrod City Radio Tower to disturb Pokémon with their evolution-inducing waves, these Gyarados went crazy. At the end he was caught by {{adv|Silver}} with {{adv|Gold}}'s aid. After a battle with the [[Masked Man]] where even his Hyper Beam attack was futile, this Gyarados was frozen and remained at the bottom of [[Lake of Rage]] until [[Lt. Surge]] discovered him. Gyarados was able to free himself and Lt. Surge acquired and returned him to Silver following a brief battle between the former Team Rocket triad and himself.

[[Ariana]] and [[Petrel]] were responsible for the appearance of the red Gyarados, which went on a rampage in [[JBA4]]; [[Jō]] attempted to stop it by battling it with his {{TP|Jō|Totodile}}. When Gyarados got tired, Jō tried feeding it some {{Berries}}, but Gyarados was still angry. Later, when Jō and Lance were in a [[Double Battle]] against Ariana and Petrel, the red Gyarados returned to assist them. Jō fed it another berry and managed to win it over. It joined Jō's side and took over for Totodile. During the battle, it finished Ariana's {{p|Gloom}} off with Twister.

The '''red Gyarados''' (Japanese: '''あかいギャラドス''' ''Red Gyarados'') is a term used to refer to a {{p|Gyarados}} that is {{Shiny}}, which is red rather than its usual blue. According to the anime, this is due to the forced evolution; the {{p|Magikarp}} it evolves from retains its red color, having no time to change its scale color to blue. Unlike most Shiny Pokémon, the red Gyarados's existence is [[canon]] in that it is encountered as part of an event in the [[Generation II]] games and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|their remakes]].

==In the games==
===In the core series===
[[File:Red Gyarados Encounter HGSS.png|thumb|left|Encountering the red Gyarados in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
In {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver|s}}, {{v2|Crystal}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the red Gyarados is found in the [[Lake of Rage]]. It, along with other {{p|Magikarp}} at the lake, were forced to evolve by [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Pokégear#Radio|Radio]] broadcast. Afterwards, the Lake of Rage was considered a dangerous place to go, as the red Gyarados started tipping over boats and scaring swimmers. The player has one chance to catch it and the incident triggers the battle against [[Team Rocket]] in the [[Team Rocket HQ]] in [[Mahogany Town]]. When captured or defeated, the red Gyarados drops a [[Red Scale]]. While this is the only chance to catch the Red Gyarados in the original games, it will respawn in the remakes after the player defeats [[Lance]] and the [[Elite Four]], should the player fail to capture it.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, in the [[Rocket Warehouse]] located on [[Five Island]], one of the computers displays information about induced evolution using electromagnetic waves, hinting at what occurs to other Gyarados in Generation II's Lake of Rage.

Sightings of a red Gyarados were [[Pokémon nation|national]] news. {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} begins with a news report broadcast in [[Twinleaf Town]] of [[Sinnoh]], according to which the Red Gyarados had eluded detection by a research crew; it is unknown to which point in time this corresponds in the [[Johto]]-based games, although they happened the same time. The player accompanies {{ga|Barry|their best friend}} to [[Lake Verity]] in the hopes of seeing a similar Pokémon. In {{game|Platinum}}, this reference was removed, but a cameraman in the [[Battle Zone]] comments he filmed it, and claims it was "award winning".

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, [[Lana]] jokes about having reeled in a red Gyarados once.

While the easiest and most common way to obtain a red Gyarados is at the Lake of Rage in Generations II or IV, any {{Shiny}} Gyarados will be red, no matter how it is encountered, through evolution of a gold Magikarp or by encountering it with the normal 1/8192 odds. This is the only possible way to get a red Gyarados outside of the Johto-based games without trading.

====History====
=====[[Original series]]=====
[[File:Lance Magikarp.png|thumb|left|200px|As a Magikarp in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The red Gyarados debuted in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'', where it leaped out of the [[Lake of Rage]] and fired a {{m|Hydro Pump}} at {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. However, the attack did not hit them. Later, during a [[Team Rocket]] plot, {{OBP|Tyson|Team Rocket}} assigned [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} to capture the red Gyarados. They successfully found the Gyarados and lured it to the surface where the other Team Rocket members caught it in a net. Ash and the group came by and unsuccessfully stopped Team Rocket from getting away with Gyarados, and they too got captured by Team Rocket. [[Professor Sebastian]] explained to them that the red Gyarados was forcibly evolved from a normal-colored Magikarp. Since it didn't have time to officially complete the evolution, the coloration of the Pokémon ended up staying red instead of turning blue.

During ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', after Team Rocket's success in catching the red Gyarados, they decided to do some research on it. Meanwhile, [[Lance]] found out that the Evolution Inducement Ray was the cause of all the unevolved Pokémon growing tired. He then destroyed its source with the help of his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}'s {{m|Hyper Beam}}. After the machine was destroyed, all of the side effects it caused disappeared. No longer affected by the ray, the red Gyarados began to go on a rampage. It then escaped from the helicopters Team Rocket was carrying it in and dove into the water below. The red Gyarados continued its rampage, destroying everything in sight with Hyper Beam. Ash tried to stop it from going berserk, but it had no effect, making Gyarados retaliate with Hydro Pump. The Team Rocket grunts tried catching it with another net. This time, Ash sent out {{AP|Bayleef}} to cut the net with {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Just when the grunts were defeated, the [[Team Rocket trio]] arrived and shot a different net at the red Gyarados. Gyarados broke free from the net and went on another rampage, moving towards the river in [[Mahogany Town]]. [[Pryce]] stopped the Atrocious Pokémon from going any further by having his {{p|Dewgong}} use {{m|Ice Beam}} on the river. Lance, after defeating Tyson, battled the red Gyarados with his Dragonite in order for it to calm down. Lance successfully did so and caught the red Gyarados, promising to take care of it like a friend.

The Red Gyarados reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'', when Ash and his friends told Clair about what happened in Mahogany Town.

The Red Gyarados is Lance's second Gyarados. As shown in {{jo|Marina}}'s fantasy in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', Lance already owned a regular Gyarados before ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]''.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====
In ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'', Lance sent Gyarados to save {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Brock}} from drowning after they escaped from [[Team Magma]]'s sinking [[Team Magma Hideout|base]]. It then carried them to [[Monsu Island]].

In ''[[AG098|The Shuffle of Legends]]'', Gyarados was briefly used to exchange blows with {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Kyogre (AG)|Kyogre}}. It later helped May, Max, and Brock to distract [[Archie]], allowing {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon (AG)|Groudon}} to attack Kyogre and defeat it.

=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====
[[File:Lance Red Gyarados Dynamax.png|thumb|250px|Gyarados Dynamaxed in the anime]]
In ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', Gyarados was used to battle [[Leon]]'s {{p|Charizard}} during the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]]. During the battle, Lance was revealed to possess a [[Dynamax Band]], which he used to [[Dynamax]] his Gyarados; Leon responded by [[Gigantamax]]ing his Charizard. Despite possessing the type advantage, Gyarados was ultimately defeated.

====Personality and characteristics====
Prior to Lance capturing the red Gyarados, it had a bad temper towards people. It became worse after the machine forcing Pokémon to evolve got destroyed. Because of the increased rage, Gyarados easily broke out of the prisons Team Rocket held it in. After Lance caught Gyarados, it calmed down. As a result, in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', Gyarados got along with people better and worked with Ash's friends to stop the fight with {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon (AG)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Kyogre (AG)|Kyogre}}.

===In Pokémon Generations===
In ''[[PG04|The Lake of Rage]]'', [[Lance]] and his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}} battled the red Gyarados in a flashback. Its appearance was what inspired Lance to investigate the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. Later, after [[Team Rocket]]'s radio wave generator had been destroyed, Lance witnessed the red Gyarados calming down and diving back into the depths of the lake.

{{main|Silver's Gyarados}}
This red Gyarados was the leader of a group of Gyarados. When [[Team Rocket]] used the Goldenrod City Radio Tower to disturb Pokémon with their evolution-inducing waves, these Gyarados went crazy. At the end he was caught by {{adv|Silver}} with {{adv|Gold}}'s aid. After a battle with the [[Masked Man]] where even his Hyper Beam attack was futile, this Gyarados was frozen and remained at the bottom of [[Lake of Rage]] until [[Lt. Surge]] discovered him. Gyarados was able to free himself and Lt. Surge acquired and returned him to Silver following a brief battle between the former Team Rocket triad and himself.

[[Ariana]] and [[Petrel]] were responsible for the appearance of the red Gyarados, which went on a rampage in [[JBA4]]; [[Jō]] attempted to stop it by battling it with his {{TP|Jō|Totodile}}.

Later, when Jō and Lance were in a [[Double Battle]] against Ariana and Petrel, the red Gyarados returned to assist them. Jō fed it another berry and managed to win it over. It joined Jō's side and took over for Totodile. During the battle, it finished Ariana's {{p|Gloom}} off with Twister.

'''May's Blaziken''' (Japanese: '''ハルカのバシャーモ''' ''Haruka's Bursyamo'') was the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] that {{an|May}} obtained at the beginning of her travels in [[Hoenn]], given to her by [[Professor Birch]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
[[File:May Torchic.png|thumb|left|220px|As a {{p|Torchic}}]]
=====Hoenn=====
In ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', Blaziken was given to May by [[Professor Birch]] in [[Littleroot Town]] when it was still a {{p|Torchic}}. She chose it as her [[starter Pokémon]] because she thought {{p|Treecko}} was creepy and scary, and {{p|Mudkip}} had attacked her earlier with a {{m|Water Gun}} in the face. In contrast, she seemed to like Torchic's cute appearance and sweet nature.

In [[AG002|the next episode]], May used Torchic to try to catch her first wild Pokémon, an {{p|Azurill}}. Despite trying its best, the Azurill was too fast and agile for Torchic, easily dodging its attacks and causing Torchic to run into other objects. This eventually angers Torchic enough to fire an Ember attack, which hits not only Azurill but a {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Azumarill}}. They all simultaneously spray Water Gun at Torchic, knocking it out in one shot.

Due to it being very immature and inexperienced, May did not use Torchic very often, preferring {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and {{TP|May|Skitty}}. During ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', [[Max]] voiced his concerns about this, wondering if May even liked Torchic.

In ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]'', Torchic got separated from its Trainer and got lost alongside [[Ash's Corphish]]. Some wild {{p|Shroomish}} and a {{p|Breloom}} started attacking them, causing Torchic to evolve into Combusken. Breloom challenged Combusken to hand-to-hand combat. Combusken obliged, and a vicious fight ensued. Both Pokémon are hit numerous times in the face by punches and kicks, and in the end a cross-counter knocks out both Pokémon.

After evolving into Combusken, it proved to be very useful for [[Pokémon Contest]]s. The first time it took part in one was in ''[[AG090|Pokéblock, Stock and Berry]]'' and ''[[AG091|Lessons in Lilycove!]]'', when May used it in the {{ci|Lilycove}} Contest. Even though its Fire Spin caused problems during the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], Combusken managed to get a score of 23.6, which helped May to reach the [[Contest Battle]]s. After defeating [[Jessie]] and {{TP|James|Chimecho}}, May had to battle {{ho|Kelly}}, a fellow [[Pokémon Coordinator]] she met prior to entering the Contest. Kelly and her {{p|Grumpig}} showed great talent and effort, but May and Combusken turned out as the winners, earning them the Lilycove [[Ribbon]].

When May got the five required Ribbons, she participated on the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]], where Combusken was used in her quarter-finals battle round against [[Drew]]'s {{p|Flygon}} and {{TP|Drew|Roselia}}, alongside Skitty, in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]''. Together, they managed to put up a great fight, but they were defeated, leaving May within the Top 8 Coordinators of the Festival.

=====Kanto=====
[[File:May Combusken.png|thumb|220px|As a {{p|Combusken}}]]
During May's Kanto journey, Combusken had more appearances due to the Pokémon Contests allowing Coordinators to use different Pokémon for each round. In ''[[AG144|A Hurdle for Squirtle]]'', Combusken was used for the Appeals Round of the [[Saffron City]] Contest, where it used Fire Spin and Sky Uppercut on May's untied bandanna to knot it back to her head. Later on, in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', it was used for the battle rounds of the {{ka|Silver Town}} Pokémon Contest. May and Combusken faced Coordinator {{OBP|Jeremy|AG151}} and his {{p|Venusaur}} in the final match; after a really close battle, where the Grass type used the powerful {{m|Frenzy Plant}} attack, May and Combusken ended as the winners, earning them the Ribbon.

In ''[[AG162|Spontaneous Combusken]]'', it was used once again for the battle rounds, this time in the [[Chrysanthemum Island]] Convention. May and Combusken first faced Jessie and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}}. Though Mime Jr. was able to {{m|Mimic}} Combusken's Fire Spin and hit it with the unusual {{m|Tickle}} attack, Combusken managed to land a Sky Uppercut through the opposing Fire Spin and win the battle. In the second battle, Combusken was seen beating a {{p|Skarmory}} with Quick Attack. In the final battle, May and Combusken faced [[Brianna]] and her {{p|Vibrava}}. After being weakened by {{m|Screech}}, Combusken managed a Fire Spin, however it was countered by {{m|Dragon Breath}}. It was then trapped by Vibrava's {{m|Sand Tomb}} and remained immobilized while May's points decreased, until it broke out with a new move: {{m|Mega Kick}}. Combusken was then able to swiftly win the match and May received her third Ribbon.

Finally, in ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot!]]'', Combusken was used for the Appeals Round of the [[Mulberry City]] Pokémon Contest. {{TRT}}, who banded together with May's rival [[Harley]], attempted to ruin her performance: Harley loaned James and Meowth his {{p|Ariados}} to sabotage May's appeal and kick her out of the Contest, so she would not get the last Ribbon she needed to get into the Grand Festival; however, surprisingly, their plan backfired when Combusken's Fire Spin started enveloping Ariados' web, going upwards in a spiral manner, not only setting Combusken free from it, but also surprising [[Contest Judge|all three judges]] in the process. May managed to advance to the battle rounds (narrowly, though), and went on to defeat Jessie, who this time had borrowed Harley's {{p|Banette}}, in the final round.

[[File:May Blaziken Blaze.png|thumb|220px|left|{{a|Blaze}} activated]]
For the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Combusken was used for one of the Appeals Rounds and two of the battle rounds. Its appeal performance during ''[[May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'', just like the one in the Mulberry Contest, involved a frisbee, and easily led her to the next round. Combusken was then used for May's battle against Drew, which started in ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard!]]'' and ended in the following episode, ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]''. It battled against Drew's Flygon and {{p|Absol}}, alongside {{TP|May|Squirtle}}; however, the fierce battle left only Combusken and Absol on stage after the first half of the five minutes. Just when Absol started to get the advantage, Combusken learned {{m|Overheat}} and gave its very best until the end of the match; by an extremely narrow difference, May and Combusken were announced as the winners of the round, and May moved on to the semi-finals. Combusken then faced [[Solidad]]'s {{p|Pidgeot}} and {{p|Slowbro}}, battling along with {{TP|May|Munchlax}}. As Solidad had been observing May's battling style, she was able to evade their attacks and defeat them with relative ease, leaving May at the Top 4 of the Grand Festival.

[[File:Dawn Piplup May Blaziken.png‎|thumb|220px|With Dawn's Piplup]]
In ''[[AG191|Once More With Reeling!]]'', Combusken [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Blaziken}} while attempting to stop Team Rocket from stealing {{AP|Pikachu}} and several other Pokémon. It then used its newly-learned {{m|Blaze Kick}} to send Team Rocket flying, upon which Ash remarked that he would like to battle Blaziken. Afterwards, May used Blaziken in the Battle Round of the [[Terracotta Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]], an informal event not sanctioned by the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]]. It went up against [[Ash's Sceptile]] in a hard-fought match that saw both Pokémon activating their {{Abilities}}. At the end of the five-minute time limit, May and Ash were tied in points, but due to the event's informality, a sudden-death round did not take place, and the battle ended in a draw, with May and Ash splitting the commemorative {{DL|Ribbon|Terracotta Medal}}. Later, it left for Johto with May and the rest of her Pokémon.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
In ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', Blaziken was used in the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]] Tag Battles, in which it battled alongside [[Dawn's Piplup]]. When it was first called out, Ash seemed to be pleased at seeing it again, and Brock remarked that it had gotten stronger as well. After the food retrieval from Team Rocket, it was called out once again for the Tag Battle. Blaziken started off with a {{m|Blaze Kick}} but failed to hit the opponent and got hurt by Girafarig's {{m|Bite}}. The battle concluded with a combination of Piplup's {{m|Bubble Beam}} and Blaziken's {{m|Fire Spin}}, resulting in a fusion of the {{type|Fire}} and {{type|Water}} moves, knocking off both of the opponents as a result. Blaziken was not seen in the [[Wallace Cup]].

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:May and Blaziken.png|thumb|left|220px|Blaziken and May]]
Much like May at the beginning of her {{pkmn|journey}}, Torchic was very inexperienced and unsure of itself. It was also shown to be a rather curious, ditzy, and playful Pokémon. It did not know how to {{pkmn|battle}} and it tended to wander around aimlessly when brought out of its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Additionally, it used to panic when in dangerous situations.

When May started to ignore Torchic in favor of her {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, Torchic felt like it needed to compete for May's attention and its personality began to change: it grew more determined to improve itself and recapture May's attention. Its competitive streak continued to grow as it lost most of its childishness and confusion; this culminated in its [[evolution]] into {{p|Combusken}} in ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]'', where it learned both {{m|Fire Spin}} and {{m|Sky Uppercut}}.

As a Fire Pokémon, Torchic had a fear of water, as demonstrated in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]'', when it chose not to follow its Trainer in jumping into the ocean.

Upon its evolution, it became much more assertive and confident, as it felt it didn't need to compete with Beautifly for attention anymore. As a Blaziken, it was shown to be quite an adept battler, being able to battle on par with [[Ash's Sceptile]] and work well with [[Dawn's Piplup]].

'''Ash's Snivy''' (Japanese: '''サトシのツタージャ''' ''Satoshi's Tsutarja'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Unova]] [[region]], and his thirty-seventh overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
====Unova====
[[File:Ash and Snivy.png|240px|thumb|left|Snivy and Ash]]
Snivy debuted in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]''. She was discovered by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} after she stole some cake from them. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} speculated that Snivy abandoned her {{pkmn|Trainer}}, whom she had deemed unworthy of having her, as she was clearly demonstrating a high level of competency and skill, evident in her first escape from Ash by infatuating {{AP|Pikachu}} with Attract then escaping using Leaf Storm. She also snickered at Ash in his first attempt to catch her.

Ash was able to catch Snivy when he won her respect, and was recognized before her eyes as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} of not only skill, but of qualities like his unwavering determination and overpowering spirit. Despite his countless defeats with Snivy, especially when Pikachu, {{AP|Oshawott}}, and {{AP|Tepig}} all succumbed easily to her Attract, Ash nevertheless followed her all the way throughout from the time they met to the point of her capture. During this journey, Ash showed her two notable acts of sacrifice: the first when he shielded Pikachu from her Vine Whip, and the second when he asked Pikachu to climb onto his head when they were sinking into a muddy swamp. At last, Ash had to perform a show of skill before he could capture her. Luckily for Ash, {{AP|Pidove|Unfezant}} was also female and was not affected by Attract, allowing him to battle on even grounds. In the battle that ensued, Snivy put up a strong struggle against her captor but was weakened considerably. Despite seemingly being in visibly good condition, she finally let out a small, humble smile that signified the acceptance of her Trainer, before allowing Ash to capture her.

Snivy was sent out twice during Ash's 5-on-5 battle with [[Trip]] in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]''. In her first match against [[Trip's Servine]], her use of Attract predominantly paved her way to victory after her opponent successfully became infatuated with her. Later on she was called upon to battle Trip's {{p|Frillish}}, and Ash, who had no knowledge of his opponent's [[Ability]], {{a|Cursed Body}}, commanded Snivy to use physical attacks which ultimately led to their loss.
[[File:Snivy and Emolga.png|thumb|250px|Snivy and Emolga]]
In ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'', Snivy was called out of her {{i|Poké Ball}} by [[Iris's Emolga]]'s {{m|Volt Switch}}. Since Emolga did not wish to battle anymore, Ash used Snivy in a battle against {{an|Bianca}}'s {{TP|Bianca|Pignite|Emboar}} for a short period. Later during lunch, Snivy noticed that Emolga tricked her male teammates into giving their lunch to her and ratted her out to Ash and company. Later, she noticed that Emolga had wandered away, as well as {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and Oshawott after her, and decided to investigate. Snivy found them being attacked by an angry {{p|Simisear}} and stopped it with Vine Whip. Emolga did not wish to fight Simisear, but Snivy forced her to help out. When Snivy was hurt by Simisear, Emolga finally decided to assist her and the two Pokémon worked together to stop it. They also saved Simisear's life by doing a {{m|Hidden Power}}-Leaf Storm combo to destroy a boulder that was about to crush it. Both Snivy and Emolga later temporarily settled their differences and shared an apple to symbolize that.

She battled with Trip's Servine once again in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]''. This time around, Trip and Servine were prepared for Attract and countered it with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}. She was then taken out of the match with a single {{m|Cut}} from Servine.

In ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'', Snivy was used against [[Georgia]]'s {{p|Pawniard}} during the second round of the [[Club Battle]] Tournament, however, she struggled against the powerful Pokémon, having Attract fail when Pawniard also turned out to be female. However, she managed to defeat Pawniard in the [[BW041|following episode]] with Leaf Storm.

In ''[[BW048|Battle For The Underground!]]'', when Pikachu spotted her Poké Ball among those {{TRT}} had stolen from the {{ci|Nimbasa}} Pokémon Center, he used {{m|Electro Ball}} to let her out. Snivy searched through the pile of Poké Balls, looking for the others, letting out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} to free Pikachu and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} from their cages, {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} to help bust through the door, {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble|Crustle}} at Pikachu's request to burn from the sturdy door, and Tepig and {{AP|Roggenrola|Boldore}} to propel the train cart away from Team Rocket. She later helped fight off [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter while the other Pokémon tried to work out an escape.

In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Ash used Snivy in his Gym match against [[Elesa]] and her {{p|Emolga}}. They were both female, so Attract proved to be ineffective. Despite trying her best, none of Snivy's attacks were working and in the end, Emolga defeated Snivy with a barrage of powerful {{m|Aerial Ace}} and {{m|Acrobatics}} attacks.

In ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'', Snivy looked happy to see Ash's Scraggy and Iris' Axew getting along happily. In the middle of the night when [[Katharine#Gothita|Katharine's Gothita]] escaped with Scraggy, and then followed by Axew, Snivy closely followed them all and helped protect them from a wild and angry {{p|Garbodor}} that Gothita had disturbed. Snivy scolded Gothita and battled Garbodor until Katharine's Deerling calmed it down with {{m|Aromatherapy}}. The next day, Snivy had a battle with Gothita, which resulted in a clear victory for Snivy. Snivy then condemned Gothita's loss, making it run away in a fuss with its Trainer close behind.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Snivy battled {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}} in an attempt to halt their rampage. She landed a hit on the legendary Pokémon by combining her Leaf Storm with {{p|Excadrill}}'s {{m|Drill Run}}, but was eventually defeated by the powerful opponents.

In ''[[BW061|Battling the King of the Mines!]]'', Snivy was Ash's second Pokémon in his [[Driftveil Gym]] battle against [[Clay]], she went up against his {{p|Palpitoad}}, since she was strong against both {{type|Water}} and {{type|Ground}}, she used her Attract to infatuate Clay's Palpitoad, which worked as he was male, she used her Vine Whip and Leaf Blade attacks to hit Palpitoad, he was then revealed to still be infatuated allowing Snivy to finish off the Vibration Pokémon off with Leaf Storm, this annoyed Clay who thought Ash's strategy wasn't right as it wasn't an upfront assault. In response he used his most powerful Pokémon, his {{TP|Clay|Excadrill}}, Snivy used Vine Whip but this was blocked by Excadrill's {{m|Rapid Spin}}. Her Leaf Blade, Attract and even her Leaf Storm were countered in the same way, causing Excadrill's Rapid Spin to hit Snivy. The Subterrene Pokémon then used its [[one-hit knockout move]], {{m|Horn Drill}}, which defeated Snivy.

In ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', Snivy was disgusted at [[Shamus]], Tepig's former Trainer, for his treatment of her friend and volunteered to battle as Tepig's partner with Shamus's {{p|Emboar}} and {{p|Heatmor}} the next day. That night, she confronted Tepig and slapped him with Vine Whip in an attempt to snap him out of his depression and encouraging him. When she was sent out to battle Shamus's Pokémon, Snivy was more than ready to fight and defend Tepig's honor, while Tepig didn't feel as motivated. While shouting words of encouragement to Tepig, who wouldn't dodge his opponents attacks, Snivy was hit by her opponents' powerful attacks, wearing her down severely. When Shamus ordered a {{m|Flare Blitz}}/{{m|Fire Spin}} combination attack, Snivy pushed her friend out the way of the attack, taking a lot of damage and being knocked out. Though she was unable to battle, Snivy insisted that she stay outside of her Poké Ball, and watch the end of the battle. This motivated Tepig to evolve into {{AP|Pignite}}, learn {{m|Fire Pledge}}, and defeat his opponents.

In ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', after Iris, Emolga and Snivy were insulted by the Flower Garden Troupe, a trio of performers who prized beauty in themselves and their Pokémon above all else, Iris forced Ash and Cilan to dress up as women so that they could confront the Troupe in a battle. In the final confrontation with Troupe leader [[Moira]], Iris asked Ash to let her use Snivy against Moira's '{{p|Cinccino|Cinccinotte}}', with Snivy's Leaf Storm cleaning off the oil Moira used to protect Cinccinotte from getting dirty.

In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Snivy was the sixth Pokémon Ash chose to use during his [[Vertress Conference]] battle with {{un|Cameron}}, sending her out to face [[Cameron's Riolu]]. Riolu started the battle with a {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, which Snivy was easily able to dodge before attacking the Emanation Pokémon with Leaf Blade. Riolu, however, quickly recovered and used {{m|Copycat}}, striking Snivy back with her own attack. Next Riolu used Vacuum Wave again, forcing Snivy to jump out of the way and allowing Riolu to easily grab her in order to use {{m|Force Palm}} on her. Before Snivy could recover from the hit, Riolu carried on with a {{m|Circle Throw}}, sending the Grass Snake Pokémon flying into the arena wall. Snivy, however, just got mad for getting thrown around, and started a comeback. First she fired a Leaf Storm, forcing Riolu to dodge it and allowing her to grab the Emanation Pokémon with Vine Whip and slam it into the field. Riolu then fired another Vacuum Wave attack, which made a direct hit. But when it tried to repeat the same move, Snivy used Leaf Storm to counter it. The {{type|Grass}} attack overpowered the {{type|Fighting}} move and hit Riolu, causing serious damage. Unfortunately for Snivy and Ash, this resulted that Riolu suddenly evolved into {{p|Lucario}}, a much more formidable opponent. When the battle continued in [[BW108|the next episode]], Snivy fought bravely against her evolved opponent, hitting it with Leaf Blade and Vine Whip. Despite of this, Lucario hit back with Force Palm, swung Snivy around by her own Vine Whip, and finally finished her off with its newly learned {{m|Aura Sphere}}.

In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Snivy was sent out alongside the rest of Ash's team to help Ash and {{an|N}} dig up to the surface of the {{an|White Ruins}} after they had fallen into a pit. While battling Team Plasma, Snivy dealt massive damage to two controlled {{p|Golurk}} with her Leaf Storm attack. However, when Colress turned his mind control machine on them, Snivy was quickly recalled to her Poké Ball along with Ash's other Pokémon.

====Decolore Islands====
In ''[[BW139|Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit!]]'', Snivy joined the gang to search for Emolga, who had run off after being unfairly shouted at by Iris for attacking Axew. When they later found Emolga with {{TRT}}, Snivy and Emolga began to argue and battle each other. Snivy deflected one of Emolga's {{m|Hidden Power}} attacks which flew off course and disturbed a sleeping {{p|Exploud}}. The Loud Noise Pokémon emerged from the bushes and began to attack the gang, allowing Team Rocket and Emolga to escape with Axew. The gang later found out that Emolga had not been in the wrong and had actually been protecting Axew, leaving Snivy a little embarrassed over assuming the worst of her rival. Snivy helped to save the day by hitting {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} and {{TP|James|Yamask}} with a frenzy of Vine Whip attacks and a powerful Leaf Storm before freeing Pikachu with Leaf Blade. After Team Rocket had blasted off, Snivy reluctantly and sharply apologized to Emolga.

Snivy was reunited with the entire Unova team at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. She joined the others in a group attack on Team Rocket with her Leaf Storm to send them blasting off for the last time in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. Snivy later posed in a group photo with the rest of Ash's Pokémon. Then, she was left at the lab when Ash set off for the [[Kalos]] region.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Snivy Emolga Axew apples.png|thumb|250px|Snivy sharing an apple with Iris's Emolga and Axew]]
Snivy is nothing less than a Pokémon shrouded in mystery. It is speculated that she had a previous Trainer whom she left because they did not meet her expectations, but she seems to have found what she had been searching for in Ash. It appears that Snivy was looking for compassion and loyalty from a trainer, as it kept remembering Ash's multiple self-sacrificial actions in which he prioritised his Pokémon's safety above his own. This may be the reason Snivy left her previous trainer, which shows that Snivy has little tolerance for selfishness and only respects those who treat her and her fellow Pokémon with respect. She tends to show no emotion except for when she is battling, even then moving as gracefully as she does outside of battle. Snivy is a fierce competitor and will take each battle that she participates in seriously. She is very mature psychologically, as seen when [[Ash's Scraggy|Ash's newly hatched Scraggy]] attempted to attack her and she did not utilize her full strength when stopping him. Though Snivy is distant, she still knows all of her Pokémon companions well and watches out for them whenever their Trainers cannot as seen in episodes like ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' and ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]''.

Ever since [[Iris's Emolga]] joined the team, she and Snivy have gotten into a few disagreements. Snivy did not like how Emolga used her cuteness to get what she wanted as seen in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' and was pretty much the only one able to see through it. As shown in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', she still holds animosity towards Emolga. In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', Emolga and Snivy were seen fighting again which resulted in them knocking over paint, causing paint to cover their Trainers. Behind her tough exterior, Snivy actually cares deeply about her friends, as seen in ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', where she comforted [[Ash's Pignite|Tepig]] when he was disappointed by his former Trainer and was later seen hugging a newly evolved Pignite along with Ash while laughing, making it one of the few times she ever laughed.

==Trivia==
* Snivy's capture was first revealed in a short preview aired after [[DP190]], featuring all the [[Starter Pokémon#Unova|Unova starters]].
* Snivy's capture was {{Ash}}'s last capture of the three [[Unova]] starters. To contrast, in the previous four [[region]]s, each region's Grass-type starter was the first starter to be caught by Ash (in Hoenn, {{AP|Treecko}} was the only one).
* Snivy is the only one of the three Unova starter Pokémon that Ash caught by battling, as the other two simply let him catch them.
*Snivy is the first abandoned Pokémon to desert a Trainer instead of the Trainer abandoning her before being caught by Ash.
* A constant animation quirk that occurs with Snivy is that she appears to have a third arm and her right foot turns green every time she uses Leaf Blade up close.

'''Ash's Snivy''' (Japanese: '''サトシのツタージャ''' ''Satoshi's Tsutarja'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Unova]] [[region]], and his thirty-seventh overall.

[[File:Ash and Snivy.png|240px|thumb|left|Snivy and Ash]]

Luckily for Ash, {{AP|Pidove|Unfezant}} was also female and was not affected by Attract, allowing him to battle on even grounds. In the battle that ensued, Snivy put up a strong struggle against her captor but was weakened considerably. Despite seemingly being in visibly good condition, she finally let out a small, humble smile that signified the acceptance of her Trainer, before allowing Ash to capture her.

Snivy was sent out twice during Ash's 5-on-5 battle with [[Trip]] in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]''. In her first match against [[Trip's Servine]], her use of Attract predominantly paved her way to victory after her opponent successfully became infatuated with her. Later on she was called upon to battle Trip's {{p|Frillish}}, and Ash, who had no knowledge of his opponent's [[Ability]], {{a|Cursed Body}}, commanded Snivy to use physical attacks which ultimately led to their loss.
[[File:Snivy and Emolga.png|thumb|250px|Snivy and Emolga]]
In ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'', Snivy was called out of her {{i|Poké Ball}} by [[Iris's Emolga]]'s {{m|Volt Switch}}. Since Emolga did not wish to battle anymore, Ash used Snivy in a battle against {{an|Bianca}}'s {{TP|Bianca|Pignite|Emboar}} for a short period. Later during lunch, Snivy noticed that Emolga tricked her male teammates into giving their lunch to her and ratted her out to Ash and company. Later, she noticed that Emolga had wandered away, as well as {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and Oshawott after her, and decided to investigate. Snivy found them being attacked by an angry {{p|Simisear}} and stopped it with Vine Whip. Emolga did not wish to fight Simisear, but Snivy forced her to help out. When Snivy was hurt by Simisear, Emolga finally decided to assist her and the two Pokémon worked together to stop it. They also saved Simisear's life by doing a {{m|Hidden Power}}-Leaf Storm combo to destroy a boulder that was about to crush it. Both Snivy and Emolga later temporarily settled their differences and shared an apple to symbolize that.

She battled with Trip's Servine once again in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]''. This time around, Trip and Servine were prepared for Attract and countered it with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}. She was then taken out of the match with a single {{m|Cut}} from Servine.

In ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'', Snivy was used against [[Georgia]]'s {{p|Pawniard}} during the second round of the [[Club Battle]] Tournament, however, she struggled against the powerful Pokémon, having Attract fail when Pawniard also turned out to be female. However, she managed to defeat Pawniard in the [[BW041|following episode]] with Leaf Storm.

In ''[[BW048|Battle For The Underground!]]'', when Pikachu spotted her Poké Ball among those {{TRT}} had stolen from the {{ci|Nimbasa}} Pokémon Center, he used {{m|Electro Ball}} to let her out. Snivy searched through the pile of Poké Balls, looking for the others, letting out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} to free Pikachu and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} from their cages, {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} to help bust through the door, {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble|Crustle}} at Pikachu's request to burn from the sturdy door, and Tepig and {{AP|Roggenrola|Boldore}} to propel the train cart away from Team Rocket. She later helped fight off [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter while the other Pokémon tried to work out an escape.

In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Ash used Snivy in his Gym match against [[Elesa]] and her {{p|Emolga}}. They were both female, so Attract proved to be ineffective. Despite trying her best, none of Snivy's attacks were working and in the end, Emolga defeated Snivy with a barrage of powerful {{m|Aerial Ace}} and {{m|Acrobatics}} attacks.

In ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'', Snivy looked happy to see Ash's Scraggy and Iris' Axew getting along happily. In the middle of the night when [[Katharine#Gothita|Katharine's Gothita]] escaped with Scraggy, and then followed by Axew, Snivy closely followed them all and helped protect them from a wild and angry {{p|Garbodor}} that Gothita had disturbed. Snivy scolded Gothita and battled Garbodor until Katharine's Deerling calmed it down with {{m|Aromatherapy}}. The next day, Snivy had a battle with Gothita, which resulted in a clear victory for Snivy. Snivy then condemned Gothita's loss, making it run away in a fuss with its Trainer close behind.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Snivy battled {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}} in an attempt to halt their rampage. She landed a hit on the legendary Pokémon by combining her Leaf Storm with {{p|Excadrill}}'s {{m|Drill Run}}, but was eventually defeated by the powerful opponents.

In ''[[BW061|Battling the King of the Mines!]]'', Snivy was Ash's second Pokémon in his [[Driftveil Gym]] battle against [[Clay]], she went up against his {{p|Palpitoad}}, since she was strong against both {{type|Water}} and {{type|Ground}}, she used her Attract to infatuate Clay's Palpitoad, which worked as he was male, she used her Vine Whip and Leaf Blade attacks to hit Palpitoad, he was then revealed to still be infatuated allowing Snivy to finish off the Vibration Pokémon off with Leaf Storm, this annoyed Clay who thought Ash's strategy wasn't right as it wasn't an upfront assault. In response he used his most powerful Pokémon, his {{TP|Clay|Excadrill}}, Snivy used Vine Whip but this was blocked by Excadrill's {{m|Rapid Spin}}. Her Leaf Blade, Attract and even her Leaf Storm were countered in the same way, causing Excadrill's Rapid Spin to hit Snivy. The Subterrene Pokémon then used its [[one-hit knockout move]], {{m|Horn Drill}}, which defeated Snivy.

In ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', Snivy was disgusted at [[Shamus]], Tepig's former Trainer, for his treatment of her friend and volunteered to battle as Tepig's partner with Shamus's {{p|Emboar}} and {{p|Heatmor}} the next day. That night, she confronted Tepig and slapped him with Vine Whip in an attempt to snap him out of his depression and encouraging him. When she was sent out to battle Shamus's Pokémon, Snivy was more than ready to fight and defend Tepig's honor, while Tepig didn't feel as motivated. While shouting words of encouragement to Tepig, who wouldn't dodge his opponents attacks, Snivy was hit by her opponents' powerful attacks, wearing her down severely. When Shamus ordered a {{m|Flare Blitz}}/{{m|Fire Spin}} combination attack, Snivy pushed her friend out the way of the attack, taking a lot of damage and being knocked out. Though she was unable to battle, Snivy insisted that she stay outside of her Poké Ball, and watch the end of the battle. This motivated Tepig to evolve into {{AP|Pignite}}, learn {{m|Fire Pledge}}, and defeat his opponents.

In ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', after Iris, Emolga and Snivy were insulted by the Flower Garden Troupe, a trio of performers who prized beauty in themselves and their Pokémon above all else, Iris forced Ash and Cilan to dress up as women so that they could confront the Troupe in a battle. In the final confrontation with Troupe leader [[Moira]], Iris asked Ash to let her use Snivy against Moira's '{{p|Cinccino|Cinccinotte}}', with Snivy's Leaf Storm cleaning off the oil Moira used to protect Cinccinotte from getting dirty.

In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Snivy was the sixth Pokémon Ash chose to use during his [[Vertress Conference]] battle with {{un|Cameron}}, sending her out to face [[Cameron's Riolu]]. Riolu started the battle with a {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, which Snivy was easily able to dodge before attacking the Emanation Pokémon with Leaf Blade. Riolu, however, quickly recovered and used {{m|Copycat}}, striking Snivy back with her own attack. Next Riolu used Vacuum Wave again, forcing Snivy to jump out of the way and allowing Riolu to easily grab her in order to use {{m|Force Palm}} on her. Before Snivy could recover from the hit, Riolu carried on with a {{m|Circle Throw}}, sending the Grass Snake Pokémon flying into the arena wall. Snivy, however, just got mad for getting thrown around, and started a comeback. First she fired a Leaf Storm, forcing Riolu to dodge it and allowing her to grab the Emanation Pokémon with Vine Whip and slam it into the field. Riolu then fired another Vacuum Wave attack, which made a direct hit. But when it tried to repeat the same move, Snivy used Leaf Storm to counter it. The {{type|Grass}} attack overpowered the {{type|Fighting}} move and hit Riolu, causing serious damage. Unfortunately for Snivy and Ash, this resulted that Riolu suddenly evolved into {{p|Lucario}}, a much more formidable opponent. When the battle continued in [[BW108|the next episode]], Snivy fought bravely against her evolved opponent, hitting it with Leaf Blade and Vine Whip. Despite of this, Lucario hit back with Force Palm, swung Snivy around by her own Vine Whip, and finally finished her off with its newly learned {{m|Aura Sphere}}.

In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Snivy was sent out alongside the rest of Ash's team to help Ash and {{an|N}} dig up to the surface of the {{an|White Ruins}} after they had fallen into a pit. While battling Team Plasma, Snivy dealt massive damage to two controlled {{p|Golurk}} with her Leaf Storm attack. However, when Colress turned his mind control machine on them, Snivy was quickly recalled to her Poké Ball along with Ash's other Pokémon.

====Decolore Islands====
In ''[[BW139|Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit!]]'', Snivy joined the gang to search for Emolga, who had run off after being unfairly shouted at by Iris for attacking Axew. When they later found Emolga with {{TRT}}, Snivy and Emolga began to argue and battle each other. Snivy deflected one of Emolga's {{m|Hidden Power}} attacks which flew off course and disturbed a sleeping {{p|Exploud}}. The Loud Noise Pokémon emerged from the bushes and began to attack the gang, allowing Team Rocket and Emolga to escape with Axew. The gang later found out that Emolga had not been in the wrong and had actually been protecting Axew, leaving Snivy a little embarrassed over assuming the worst of her rival. Snivy helped to save the day by hitting {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} and {{TP|James|Yamask}} with a frenzy of Vine Whip attacks and a powerful Leaf Storm before freeing Pikachu with Leaf Blade. After Team Rocket had blasted off, Snivy reluctantly and sharply apologized to Emolga.

Snivy was reunited with the entire Unova team at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. She joined the others in a group attack on Team Rocket with her Leaf Storm to send them blasting off for the last time in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. Snivy later posed in a group photo with the rest of Ash's Pokémon. Then, she was left at the lab when Ash set off for the [[Kalos]] region.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Snivy Emolga Axew apples.png|thumb|250px|Snivy sharing an apple with Iris's Emolga and Axew]]
Snivy is nothing less than a Pokémon shrouded in mystery. It is speculated that she had a previous Trainer whom she left because they did not meet her expectations, but she seems to have found what she had been searching for in Ash. It appears that Snivy was looking for compassion and loyalty from a trainer, as it kept remembering Ash's multiple self-sacrificial actions in which he prioritised his Pokémon's safety above his own. This may be the reason Snivy left her previous trainer, which shows that Snivy has little tolerance for selfishness and only respects those who treat her and her fellow Pokémon with respect. She tends to show no emotion except for when she is battling, even then moving as gracefully as she does outside of battle. Snivy is a fierce competitor and will take each battle that she participates in seriously. She is very mature psychologically, as seen when [[Ash's Scraggy|Ash's newly hatched Scraggy]] attempted to attack her and she did not utilize her full strength when stopping him. Though Snivy is distant, she still knows all of her Pokémon companions well and watches out for them whenever their Trainers cannot as seen in episodes like ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' and ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]''.

Ever since [[Iris's Emolga]] joined the team, she and Snivy have gotten into a few disagreements. Snivy did not like how Emolga used her cuteness to get what she wanted as seen in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' and was pretty much the only one able to see through it. As shown in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', she still holds animosity towards Emolga. In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', Emolga and Snivy were seen fighting again which resulted in them knocking over paint, causing paint to cover their Trainers. Behind her tough exterior, Snivy actually cares deeply about her friends, as seen in ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', where she comforted [[Ash's Pignite|Tepig]] when he was disappointed by his former Trainer and was later seen hugging a newly evolved Pignite along with Ash while laughing, making it one of the few times she ever laughed.

==Trivia==
* Snivy's capture was first revealed in a short preview aired after [[DP190]], featuring all the [[Starter Pokémon#Unova|Unova starters]].
* Snivy's capture was {{Ash}}'s last capture of the three [[Unova]] starters. To contrast, in the previous four [[region]]s, each region's Grass-type starter was the first starter to be caught by Ash (in Hoenn, {{AP|Treecko}} was the only one).
* Snivy is the only one of the three Unova starter Pokémon that Ash caught by battling, as the other two simply let him catch them.
*Snivy is the first abandoned Pokemon to desert a Trainer instead of the Trainer abandoning her before being caught by Ash.
* A constant animation quirk that occurs with Snivy is that she appears to have a third arm and her right foot turns green every time she uses Leaf Blade up close.

'''Ash's Snivy''' (Japanese: '''サトシのツタージャ''' ''Satoshi's Tsutarja'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Unova]] [[region]], and his thirty-seventh overall.

===History===
====Unova====
[[File:Ash and Snivy.png|240px|thumb|left|Snivy and Ash]]
Snivy debuted in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]''. She was discovered by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} after she stole some cake from them. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} speculated that Snivy abandoned her {{pkmn|Trainer}}, whom she had deemed unworthy of having her, as she was clearly demonstrating a high level of competency and skill, evident in her first escape from Ash by infatuating {{AP|Pikachu}} with Attract then escaping using Leaf Storm. She also snickered at Ash in his first attempt to catch her.

Ash was able to catch Snivy when he won her respect, and was recognized before her eyes as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} of not only skill, but of qualities like his unwavering determination and overpowering spirit. Despite his countless defeats with Snivy, especially when Pikachu, {{AP|Oshawott}}, and {{AP|Tepig}} all succumbed easily to her Attract, Ash nevertheless followed her all the way throughout from the time they met to the point of her capture. During this journey, Ash showed her two notable acts of sacrifice: the first when he shielded Pikachu from her Vine Whip, and the second when he asked Pikachu to climb onto his head when they were sinking into a muddy swamp. At last, Ash had to perform a show of skill before he could capture her. Luckily for Ash, {{AP|Pidove|Unfezant}} was also female and was not affected by Attract, allowing him to battle on even grounds. In the battle that ensued, Snivy put up a strong struggle against her captor but was weakened considerably. Despite seemingly being in visibly good condition, she finally let out a small, humble smile that signified the acceptance of her Trainer, before allowing Ash to capture her.

Snivy was sent out twice during Ash's 5-on-5 battle with [[Trip]] in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]''. In her first match against [[Trip's Servine]], her use of Attract predominantly paved her way to victory after her opponent successfully became infatuated with her. Later on she was called upon to battle Trip's {{p|Frillish}}, and Ash, who had no knowledge of his opponent's [[Ability]], {{a|Cursed Body}}, commanded Snivy to use physical attacks which ultimately led to their loss.
[[File:Snivy and Emolga.png|thumb|250px|Snivy and Emolga]]
In ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'', Snivy was called out of her {{i|Poké Ball}} by [[Iris's Emolga]]'s {{m|Volt Switch}}. Since Emolga did not wish to battle anymore, Ash used Snivy in a battle against {{an|Bianca}}'s {{TP|Bianca|Pignite|Emboar}} for a short period. Later during lunch, Snivy noticed that Emolga tricked her male teammates into giving their lunch to her and ratted her out to Ash and company. Later, she noticed that Emolga had wandered away, as well as {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and Oshawott after her, and decided to investigate. Snivy found them being attacked by an angry {{p|Simisear}} and stopped it with Vine Whip. Emolga did not wish to fight Simisear, but Snivy forced her to help out. When Snivy was hurt by Simisear, Emolga finally decided to assist her and the two Pokémon worked together to stop it. They also saved Simisear's life by doing a {{m|Hidden Power}}-Leaf Storm combo to destroy a boulder that was about to crush it. Both Snivy and Emolga later temporarily settled their differences and shared an apple to symbolize that.

She battled with Trip's Servine once again in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]''. This time around, Trip and Servine were prepared for Attract and countered it with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}. She was then taken out of the match with a single {{m|Cut}} from Servine.

In ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'', Snivy was used against [[Georgia]]'s {{p|Pawniard}} during the second round of the [[Club Battle]] Tournament, however, she struggled against the powerful Pokémon, having Attract fail when Pawniard also turned out to be female. However, she managed to defeat Pawniard in the [[BW041|following episode]] with Leaf Storm.

In ''[[BW048|Battle For The Underground!]]'', when Pikachu spotted her Poké Ball among those {{TRT}} had stolen from the {{ci|Nimbasa}} Pokémon Center, he used {{m|Electro Ball}} to let her out. Snivy searched through the pile of Poké Balls, looking for the others, letting out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} to free Pikachu and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} from their cages, {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} to help bust through the door, {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble|Crustle}} at Pikachu's request to burn from the sturdy door, and Tepig and {{AP|Roggenrola|Boldore}} to propel the train cart away from Team Rocket. She later helped fight off [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter while the other Pokémon tried to work out an escape.

In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Ash used Snivy in his Gym match against [[Elesa]] and her {{p|Emolga}}. They were both female, so Attract proved to be ineffective. Despite trying her best, none of Snivy's attacks were working and in the end, Emolga defeated Snivy with a barrage of powerful {{m|Aerial Ace}} and {{m|Acrobatics}} attacks.

In ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'', Snivy looked happy to see Ash's Scraggy and Iris' Axew getting along happily. In the middle of the night when [[Katharine#Gothita|Katharine's Gothita]] escaped with Scraggy, and then followed by Axew, Snivy closely followed them all and helped protect them from a wild and angry {{p|Garbodor}} that Gothita had disturbed. Snivy scolded Gothita and battled Garbodor until Katharine's Deerling calmed it down with {{m|Aromatherapy}}. The next day, Snivy had a battle with Gothita, which resulted in a clear victory for Snivy. Snivy then condemned Gothita's loss, making it run away in a fuss with its Trainer close behind.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Snivy battled {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}} in an attempt to halt their rampage. She landed a hit on the legendary Pokémon by combining her Leaf Storm with {{p|Excadrill}}'s {{m|Drill Run}}, but was eventually defeated by the powerful opponents.

In ''[[BW061|Battling the King of the Mines!]]'', Snivy was Ash's second Pokémon in his [[Driftveil Gym]] battle against [[Clay]], she went up against his {{p|Palpitoad}}, since she was strong against both {{type|Water}} and {{type|Ground}}, she used her Attract to infatuate Clay's Palpitoad, which worked as he was male, she used her Vine Whip and Leaf Blade attacks to hit Palpitoad, he was then revealed to still be infatuated allowing Snivy to finish off the Vibration Pokémon off with Leaf Storm, this annoyed Clay who thought Ash's strategy wasn't right as it wasn't an upfront assault. In response he used his most powerful Pokémon, his {{TP|Clay|Excadrill}}, Snivy used Vine Whip but this was blocked by Excadrill's {{m|Rapid Spin}}. Her Leaf Blade, Attract and even her Leaf Storm were countered in the same way, causing Excadrill's Rapid Spin to hit Snivy. The Subterrene Pokémon then used its [[one-hit knockout move]], {{m|Horn Drill}}, which defeated Snivy.

In ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', Snivy was disgusted at [[Shamus]], Tepig's former Trainer, for his treatment of her friend and volunteered to battle as Tepig's partner with Shamus's {{p|Emboar}} and {{p|Heatmor}} the next day. That night, she confronted Tepig and slapped him with Vine Whip in an attempt to snap him out of his depression and encouraging him. When she was sent out to battle Shamus's Pokémon, Snivy was more than ready to fight and defend Tepig's honor, while Tepig didn't feel as motivated. While shouting words of encouragement to Tepig, who wouldn't dodge his opponents attacks, Snivy was hit by her opponents' powerful attacks, wearing her down severely. When Shamus ordered a {{m|Flare Blitz}}/{{m|Fire Spin}} combination attack, Snivy pushed her friend out the way of the attack, taking a lot of damage and being knocked out. Though she was unable to battle, Snivy insisted that she stay outside of her Poké Ball, and watch the end of the battle. This motivated Tepig to evolve into {{AP|Pignite}}, learn {{m|Fire Pledge}}, and defeat his opponents.

In ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', after Iris, Emolga and Snivy were insulted by the Flower Garden Troupe, a trio of performers who prized beauty in themselves and their Pokémon above all else, Iris forced Ash and Cilan to dress up as women so that they could confront the Troupe in a battle. In the final confrontation with Troupe leader [[Moira]], Iris asked Ash to let her use Snivy against Moira's '{{p|Cinccino|Cinccinotte}}', with Snivy's Leaf Storm cleaning off the oil Moira used to protect Cinccinotte from getting dirty.

In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Snivy was the sixth Pokémon Ash chose to use during his [[Vertress Conference]] battle with {{un|Cameron}}, sending her out to face [[Cameron's Riolu]]. Riolu started the battle with a {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, which Snivy was easily able to dodge before attacking the Emanation Pokémon with Leaf Blade. Riolu, however, quickly recovered and used {{m|Copycat}}, striking Snivy back with her own attack. Next Riolu used Vacuum Wave again, forcing Snivy to jump out of the way and allowing Riolu to easily grab her in order to use {{m|Force Palm}} on her.

Snivy, however, just got mad for getting thrown around, and started a comeback. First she fired a Leaf Storm, forcing Riolu to dodge it and allowing her to grab the Emanation Pokémon with Vine Whip and slam it into the field. Riolu then fired another Vacuum Wave attack, which made a direct hit. But when it tried to repeat the same move, Snivy used Leaf Storm to counter it. The {{type|Grass}} attack overpowered the {{type|Fighting}} move and hit Riolu, causing serious damage. Unfortunately for Snivy and Ash, this resulted that Riolu suddenly evolved into {{p|Lucario}}, a much more formidable opponent. When the battle continued in [[BW108|the next episode]], Snivy fought bravely against her evolved opponent, hitting it with Leaf Blade and Vine Whip. Despite of this, Lucario hit back with Force Palm, swung Snivy around by her own Vine Whip, and finally finished her off with its newly learned {{m|Aura Sphere}}.

In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Snivy was sent out alongside the rest of Ash's team to help Ash and {{an|N}} dig up to the surface of the {{an|White Ruins}} after they had fallen into a pit. While battling Team Plasma, Snivy dealt massive damage to two controlled {{p|Golurk}} with her Leaf Storm attack. However, when Colress turned his mind control machine on them, Snivy was quickly recalled to her Poké Ball along with Ash's other Pokémon.

In ''[[BW139|Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit!]]'', Snivy joined the gang to search for Emolga, who had run off after being unfairly shouted at by Iris for attacking Axew.

Ever since [[Iris's Emolga]] joined the team, she and Snivy have gotten into a few disagreements. Snivy did not like how Emolga used her cuteness to get what she wanted as seen in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' and was pretty much the only one able to see through it. As shown in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', she still holds animosity towards Emolga. In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', Emolga and Snivy were seen fighting again which resulted in them knocking over paint, causing paint to cover their Trainers. Behind her tough exterior, Snivy actually cares deeply about her friends, as seen in ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', where she comforted [[Ash's Pignite|Tepig]] when he was disappointed by his former Trainer and was later seen hugging a newly evolved Pignite along with Ash while laughing, making it one of the few times she ever laughed.

'''Ash's Snivy''' (Japanese: '''サトシのツタージャ''' ''Satoshi's Tsutarja'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Unova]] [[region]], and his thirty-seventh overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
====Unova====
[[File:Ash and Snivy.png|240px|thumb|left|Snivy and Ash]]
Snivy debuted in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]''. She was discovered by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} after she stole some cake from them. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} speculated that Snivy abandoned her {{pkmn|Trainer}}, whom she had deemed unworthy of having her, as she was clearly demonstrating a high level of competency and skill, evident in her first escape from Ash by infatuating {{AP|Pikachu}} with Attract then escaping using Leaf Storm. She also snickered at Ash in his first attempt to catch her.

Ash was able to catch Snivy when he won her respect, and was recognized before her eyes as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} of not only skill, but of qualities like his unwavering determination and overpowering spirit. Despite his countless defeats with Snivy, especially when Pikachu, {{AP|Oshawott}}, and {{AP|Tepig}} all succumbed easily to her Attract, Ash nevertheless followed her all the way throughout from the time they met to the point of her capture. During this journey, Ash showed her two notable acts of sacrifice: the first when he shielded Pikachu from her Vine Whip, and the second when he asked Pikachu to climb onto his head when they were sinking into a muddy swamp. At last, Ash had to perform a show of skill before he could capture her. Luckily for Ash, {{AP|Pidove|Unfezant}} was also female and was not affected by Attract, allowing him to battle on even grounds. In the battle that ensued, Snivy put up a strong struggle against her captor but was weakened considerably. Despite seemingly being in visibly good condition, she finally let out a small, humble smile that signified the acceptance of her Trainer, before allowing Ash to capture her.

Snivy was sent out twice during Ash's 5-on-5 battle with [[Trip]] in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]''. In her first match against [[Trip's Servine]], her use of Attract predominantly paved her way to victory after her opponent successfully became infatuated with her. Later on she was called upon to battle Trip's {{p|Frillish}}, and Ash, who had no knowledge of his opponent's [[Ability]], {{a|Cursed Body}}, commanded Snivy to use physical attacks which ultimately led to their loss.
[[File:Snivy and Emolga.png|thumb|250px|Snivy and Emolga]]
In ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'', Snivy was called out of her {{i|Poké Ball}} by [[Iris's Emolga]]'s {{m|Volt Switch}}. Since Emolga did not wish to battle anymore, Ash used Snivy in a battle against {{an|Bianca}}'s {{TP|Bianca|Pignite|Emboar}} for a short period. Later during lunch, Snivy noticed that Emolga tricked her male teammates into giving their lunch to her and ratted her out to Ash and company. Later, she noticed that Emolga had wandered away, as well as {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and Oshawott after her, and decided to investigate. Snivy found them being attacked by an angry {{p|Simisear}} and stopped it with Vine Whip. Emolga did not wish to fight Simisear, but Snivy forced her to help out. When Snivy was hurt by Simisear, Emolga finally decided to assist her and the two Pokémon worked together to stop it. They also saved Simisear's life by doing a {{m|Hidden Power}}-Leaf Storm combo to destroy a boulder that was about to crush it. Both Snivy and Emolga later temporarily settled their differences and shared an apple to symbolize that.

She battled with Trip's Servine once again in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]''. This time around, Trip and Servine were prepared for Attract and countered it with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}. She was then taken out of the match with a single {{m|Cut}} from Servine.

In ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'', Snivy was used against [[Georgia]]'s {{p|Pawniard}} during the second round of the [[Club Battle]] Tournament, however, she struggled against the powerful Pokémon, having Attract fail when Pawniard also turned out to be female. However, she managed to defeat Pawniard in the [[BW041|following episode]] with Leaf Storm.

In ''[[BW048|Battle For The Underground!]]'', when Pikachu spotted her Poké Ball among those {{TRT}} had stolen from the {{ci|Nimbasa}} Pokémon Center, he used {{m|Electro Ball}} to let her out. Snivy searched through the pile of Poké Balls, looking for the others, letting out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} to free Pikachu and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} from their cages, {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} to help bust through the door, {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble|Crustle}} at Pikachu's request to burn from the sturdy door, and Tepig and {{AP|Roggenrola|Boldore}} to propel the train cart away from Team Rocket. She later helped fight off [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter while the other Pokémon tried to work out an escape.

In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Ash used Snivy in his Gym match against [[Elesa]] and her {{p|Emolga}}. They were both female, so Attract proved to be ineffective. Despite trying her best, none of Snivy's attacks were working and in the end, Emolga defeated Snivy with a barrage of powerful {{m|Aerial Ace}} and {{m|Acrobatics}} attacks.

In ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'', Snivy looked happy to see Ash's Scraggy and Iris' Axew getting along happily. In the middle of the night when [[Katharine#Gothita|Katharine's Gothita]] escaped with Scraggy, and then followed by Axew, Snivy closely followed them all and helped protect them from a wild and angry {{p|Garbodor}} that Gothita had disturbed. Snivy scolded Gothita and battled Garbodor until Katharine's Deerling calmed it down with {{m|Aromatherapy}}. The next day, Snivy had a battle with Gothita, which resulted in a clear victory for Snivy. Snivy then condemned Gothita's loss, making it run away in a fuss with its Trainer close behind.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Snivy battled {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}} in an attempt to halt their rampage. She landed a hit on the legendary Pokémon by combining her Leaf Storm with {{p|Excadrill}}'s {{m|Drill Run}}, but was eventually defeated by the powerful opponents.

In ''[[BW061|Battling the King of the Mines!]]'', Snivy was Ash's second Pokémon in his [[Driftveil Gym]] battle against [[Clay]], she went up against his {{p|Palpitoad}}, since she was strong against both {{type|Water}} and {{type|Ground}}, she used her Attract to infatuate Clay's Palpitoad, which worked as he was male, she used her Vine Whip and Leaf Blade attacks to hit Palpitoad, he was then revealed to still be infatuated allowing Snivy to finish off the Vibration Pokémon off with Leaf Storm, this annoyed Clay who thought Ash's strategy wasn't right as it wasn't an upfront assault. In response he used his most powerful Pokémon, his {{TP|Clay|Excadrill}}, Snivy used Vine Whip but this was blocked by Excadrill's {{m|Rapid Spin}}. Her Leaf Blade, Attract and even her Leaf Storm were countered in the same way, causing Excadrill's Rapid Spin to hit Snivy. The Subterrene Pokémon then used its [[one-hit knockout move]], {{m|Horn Drill}}, which defeated Snivy.

In ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', Snivy was disgusted at [[Shamus]], Tepig's former Trainer, for his treatment of her friend and volunteered to battle as Tepig's partner with Shamus's {{p|Emboar}} and {{p|Heatmor}} the next day. That night, she confronted Tepig and slapped him with Vine Whip in an attempt to snap him out of his depression and encouraging him. When she was sent out to battle Shamus's Pokémon, Snivy was more than ready to fight and defend Tepig's honor, while Tepig didn't feel as motivated. While shouting words of encouragement to Tepig, who wouldn't dodge his opponents attacks, Snivy was hit by her opponents' powerful attacks, wearing her down severely. When Shamus ordered a {{m|Flare Blitz}}/{{m|Fire Spin}} combination attack, Snivy pushed her friend out the way of the attack, taking a lot of damage and being knocked out. Though she was unable to battle, Snivy insisted that she stay outside of her Poké Ball, and watch the end of the battle. This motivated Tepig to evolve into {{AP|Pignite}}, learn {{m|Fire Pledge}}, and defeat his opponents.

In ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', after Iris, Emolga and Snivy were insulted by the Flower Garden Troupe, a trio of performers who prized beauty in themselves and their Pokémon above all else, Iris forced Ash and Cilan to dress up as women so that they could confront the Troupe in a battle. In the final confrontation with Troupe leader [[Moira]], Iris asked Ash to let her use Snivy against Moira's '{{p|Cinccino|Cinccinotte}}', with Snivy's Leaf Storm cleaning off the oil Moira used to protect Cinccinotte from getting dirty.

In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Snivy was the sixth Pokémon Ash chose to use during his [[Vertress Conference]] battle with {{un|Cameron}}, sending her out to face [[Cameron's Riolu]]. Riolu started the battle with a {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, which Snivy was easily able to dodge before attacking the Emanation Pokémon with Leaf Blade. Riolu, however, quickly recovered and used {{m|Copycat}}, striking Snivy back with her own attack. Next Riolu used Vacuum Wave again, forcing Snivy to jump out of the way and allowing Riolu to easily grab her in order to use {{m|Force Palm}} on her. Before Snivy could recover from the hit, Riolu carried on with a {{m|Circle Throw}}, sending the Grass Snake Pokémon flying into the arena wall. Snivy, however, just got mad for getting thrown around, and started a comeback. First she fired a Leaf Storm, forcing Riolu to dodge it and allowing her to grab the Emanation Pokémon with Vine Whip and slam it into the field. Riolu then fired another Vacuum Wave attack, which made a direct hit. But when it tried to repeat the same move, Snivy used Leaf Storm to counter it. The {{type|Grass}} attack overpowered the {{type|Fighting}} move and hit Riolu, causing serious damage. Unfortunately for Snivy and Ash, this resulted that Riolu suddenly evolved into {{p|Lucario}}, a much more formidable opponent. When the battle continued in [[BW108|the next episode]], Snivy fought bravely against her evolved opponent, hitting it with Leaf Blade and Vine Whip. Despite of this, Lucario hit back with Force Palm, swung Snivy around by her own Vine Whip, and finally finished her off with its newly learned {{m|Aura Sphere}}.

In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Snivy was sent out alongside the rest of Ash's team to help Ash and {{an|N}} dig up to the surface of the {{an|White Ruins}} after they had fallen into a pit. While battling Team Plasma, Snivy dealt massive damage to two controlled {{p|Golurk}} with her Leaf Storm attack. However, when Colress turned his mind control machine on them, Snivy was quickly recalled to her Poké Ball along with Ash's other Pokémon.

====Decolore Islands====
In ''[[BW139|Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit!]]'', Snivy joined the gang to search for Emolga, who had run off after being unfairly shouted at by Iris for attacking Axew. When they later found Emolga with {{TRT}}, Snivy and Emolga began to argue and battle each other. Snivy deflected one of Emolga's {{m|Hidden Power}} attacks which flew off course and disturbed a sleeping {{p|Exploud}}. The Loud Noise Pokémon emerged from the bushes and began to attack the gang, allowing Team Rocket and Emolga to escape with Axew. The gang later found out that Emolga had not been in the wrong and had actually been protecting Axew, leaving Snivy a little embarrassed over assuming the worst of her rival. Snivy helped to save the day by hitting {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} and {{TP|James|Yamask}} with a frenzy of Vine Whip attacks and a powerful Leaf Storm before freeing Pikachu with Leaf Blade. After Team Rocket had blasted off, Snivy reluctantly and sharply apologized to Emolga.

Snivy was reunited with the entire Unova team at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. She joined the others in a group attack on Team Rocket with her Leaf Storm to send them blasting off for the last time in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. Snivy later posed in a group photo with the rest of Ash's Pokémon. Then, she was left at the lab when Ash set off for the [[Kalos]] region.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Snivy Emolga Axew apples.png|thumb|250px|Snivy sharing an apple with Iris's Emolga and Axew]]
Snivy is nothing less than a Pokémon shrouded in mystery. It is speculated that she had a previous Trainer whom she left because they did not meet her expectations, but she seems to have found what she had been searching for in Ash. It appears that Snivy was looking for compassion and loyalty from a trainer, as it kept remembering Ash's multiple self-sacrificial actions in which he prioritised his Pokémon's safety above his own. This may be the reason Snivy left her previous trainer, which shows that Snivy has little tolerance for selfishness and only respects those who treat her and her fellow Pokémon with respect. She tends to show no emotion except for when she is battling, even then moving as gracefully as she does outside of battle. Snivy is a fierce competitor and will take each battle that she participates in seriously. She is very mature psychologically, as seen when [[Ash's Scraggy|Ash's newly hatched Scraggy]] attempted to attack her and she did not utilize her full strength when stopping him. Though Snivy is distant, she still knows all of her Pokémon companions well and watches out for them whenever their Trainers cannot as seen in episodes like ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' and ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]''.

Ever since [[Iris's Emolga]] joined the team, she and Snivy have gotten into a few disagreements. Snivy did not like how Emolga used her cuteness to get what she wanted as seen in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' and was pretty much the only one able to see through it. As shown in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', she still holds animosity towards Emolga. In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', Emolga and Snivy were seen fighting again which resulted in them knocking over paint, causing paint to cover their Trainers. Behind her tough exterior, Snivy actually cares deeply about her friends, as seen in ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', where she comforted [[Ash's Pignite|Tepig]] when he was disappointed by his former Trainer and was later seen hugging a newly evolved Pignite along with Ash while laughing, making it one of the few times she ever laughed.

'''Ash's Dragonite''' (Japanese: '''サトシのカイリュー''' ''Satoshi's Kairyu'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{pkmn2|caught}} by {{Ash}} in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', and his fifty-third overall.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Dragonair.png|250px|thumb|left|As a wild Dragonair]]
{{Ash}} first encountered Dragonite as a {{p|Dragonair}} on [[Dragonite Island]] in ''[[JN010|A Test in Paradise!]]''. Unlike the other Dragonair on its home island, it had trouble learning how to fly. Seeing this, Ash offered to help Dragonair learn {{m|Dragon Dance}} and master the use of its wings. Using an {{m|Electroweb}} trampoline provided by {{AP|Pikachu}}, Ash managed to help Dragonair to overcome its shortcomings.

Dragonair then sensed {{TRT}} capturing one of its {{p|Dragonite}} friends, and the group intervened. Team Rocket sent out a {{p|Wailord}} to deal with them, and one of its {{m|splash}}es sent Ash flying into the air. Dragonair tried to save him from his fall, but its skin was too slippery for Ash to hold on to. As such, it then proceeded to [[evolution|evolve]] into Dragonite and save Ash. After Team Rocket was defeated, Dragonite expressed its willingness to come with Ash, and he {{pkmn2|caught}} it.

In [[JN014]], Ash used Dragonite to traverse through the [[Desert Resort]]. Later, it took part in a [[Raid Battle]] against a {{p|Golurk}} in the [[Ruins of the Titan]], dealing the finishing blow on it with [[Goh]]'s {{p|Darmanitan}}.

In [[JN025]], Dragonite was Ash's second and last Pokémon in his [[World Coronation Series]] match against {{an|Korrina}}, following the defeat of his {{AP|Gengar}}. After defeating her {{p|Mienshao}}, Dragonite went up against [[Korrina's Lucario]]. Thanks to [[Mega Evolution]], it proved to be an extremely tough opponent, but eventually, Dragonite was the one who remained standing, winning Ash the match and causing him to rise to the Super Class.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash Dragonite affection.png|thumb|250px|Dragonite and Ash]]
Much like [[Ash's Muk]], Dragonite has a habit of embracing people and Pokémon, even when it is meeting them for the first time. In [[JN021]], it even tried to hug an unhatched {{pkmn|Egg}}, forcing Ash to tell it that it shouldn't do so. It also displayed both courage and determination in saving Ash, which gave it the boost it needed to evolve. It cares for its friends, as it didn't hesitate to come to the aid of its Dragonite friend and for Ash.

Like many of its species, Ash's Dragonite is an adept flyer, and relishes the chance to do so. In [[JN014]], Ash used Dragonite to help him and {{AP|Pikachu}} cross the [[Desert Resort]], and was happy to race with [[Goh]] and his {{p|Beedrill}} to see who was faster, becoming so engrossed in the race that it sent Ash and Pikachu flying through the air. Dragonite was overjoyed by its victory, and while it obediently returned to its {{i|Poké Ball}} before Ash and Goh entered the cramped [[Ruins of the Titan]], it was visibly disappointed. Dragonite has also been shown to have faith in everyone, as seen in [[JN023]], when it convinced Ash and Goh that the conflict between Goh's Pokémon would be best left for them to solve themselves.

Dragonite is also an extremely tough Pokémon, being able to defeat {{an|Korrina}}'s Pokémon, including her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}, and withstand a multitude of attacks.

'''Ash's Dragonite''' (Japanese: '''サトシのカイリュー''' ''Satoshi's Kairyu'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{pkmn2|caught}} by {{Ash}} in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', and his fifty-third overall.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Dragonair.png|250px|thumb|left|As a wild Dragonair]]
{{Ash}} first encountered Dragonite as a {{p|Dragonair}} on [[Dragonite Island]] in ''[[JN010|A Test in Paradise!]]''. Unlike the other Dragonair on its home island, it had trouble learning how to fly. Seeing this, Ash offered to help Dragonair learn {{m|Dragon Dance}} and master the use of its wings. Using an {{m|Electroweb}} trampoline provided by {{AP|Pikachu}}, Ash managed to help Dragonair to overcome its shortcomings.

Dragonair then sensed {{TRT}} capturing one of its {{p|Dragonite}} friends, and the group intervened. Team Rocket sent out a {{p|Wailord}} to deal with them, and one of its {{m|splash}}es sent Ash flying into the air. Dragonair tried to save him from his fall, but its skin was too slippery for Ash to hold on to. As such, it then proceeded to [[evolution|evolve]] into Dragonite and save Ash. After Team Rocket was defeated, Dragonite expressed its willingness to come with Ash, and he {{pkmn2|caught}} it.

In [[JN014]], Ash used Dragonite to traverse through the [[Desert Resort]]. Later, it took part in a [[Raid Battle]] against a {{p|Golurk}} in the [[Ruins of the Titan]], dealing the finishing blow on it with [[Goh]]'s {{p|Darmanitan}}.

In [[JN025]], Dragonite was Ash's second and last Pokémon in his [[World Coronation Series]] match against {{an|Korrina}}, following the defeat of his {{AP|Gengar}}. After defeating her {{p|Mienshao}}, Dragonite went up against [[Korrina's Lucario]]. Thanks to [[Mega Evolution]], it proved to be an extremely tough opponent, but eventually, Dragonite was the one who remained standing, winning Ash the match and causing him to rise to the Super Class.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ash Dragonite affection.png|thumb|250px|Dragonite and Ash]]
Much like [[Ash's Muk]], Dragonite has a habit of embracing people and Pokémon, even when it is meeting them for the first time. In [[JN021]], it even tried to hug an unhatched {{pkmn|Egg}}, forcing Ash to tell it that it shouldn't do so. It also displayed both courage and determination in saving Ash, which gave it the boost it needed to evolve. It cares for its friends, as it didn't hesitate to come to the aid of its Dragonite friend and for Ash.

Like many of its species, Ash's Dragonite is an adept flyer, and relishes the chance to do so. In [[JN014]], Ash used Dragonite to help him and {{AP|Pikachu}} cross the [[Desert Resort]], and was happy to race with [[Goh]] and his {{p|Beedrill}} to see who was faster, becoming so engrossed in the race that it sent Ash and Pikachu flying through the air. Dragonite was overjoyed by its victory, and while it obediently returned to its {{i|Poké Ball}} before Ash and Goh entered the cramped [[Ruins of the Titan]], it was visibly disappointed. Dragonite has also been shown to have faith in everyone, as seen in [[JN023]], when it convinced Ash and Goh that the conflict between Goh's Pokémon would be best left for them to solve themselves.

Dragonite is also an extremely tough Pokémon, being able to defeat {{an|Korrina}}'s Pokémon, including her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}, and withstand a multitude of attacks.

Ho-Oh (anime)

2020-06-03T07:03:44Z

MonMonPk: /* Trivia */ there been many "firsts" trivia, so figured I try this one too.

{{AnimePokémonInfobox
|type1=Fire
|type2=Flying
|ball=None
|nickname=Ho-Oh
|jnickname=ホウオウ

}}

'''Ho-Oh''' (Japanese: '''ホウオウ''' ''Houou'') is a [[Legendary Pokémon]] that {{Ash}} has sighted at a few significant moments in his {{pkmn|journey}}.

Legends say that Ho-Oh lived in the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] in ancient times. However, war broke out, and when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] was burned, Ho-Oh created {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} and then left. A new Tin Tower was created, but Ho-Oh never returned.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
====History====
=====[[Original series]]=====
======Kanto======
[[File:Ho-Oh Debut.png|220px|thumb|left|Ho-Oh completely colored and outlined in gold in its debut]]
Ho-Oh debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where {{Ash}} first saw it in a forest on his way to [[Viridian City]] during his first day as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He was lying on the ground with his injured {{AP|Pikachu}} and saw it fly over the rainbow that appeared in the sky after a storm. His [[Pokédex]] could not identify it and explained that many Pokémon were still unknown.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Ash tried to explain to {{an|Professor Oak}} what he had seen, though the image he used to point it out appeared to be of an {{p|Articuno}} rather than {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Either way, {{an|Professor Oak}} did not believe him and brushed it off as Ash being mistaken. This gold-colored version of Ho-Oh was an early concept of Ho-Oh as a Pokémon, as it, like all other [[Generation II]] Pokémon at that time, had not been fully developed yet.

======Johto======
The topic was brought up again in ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]''. While Ash was in [[Johto]], he explained his encounter of Ho-Oh to [[Eusine]], who also did not believe that Ash had seen this Legendary Pokémon. In ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'', they heard the bells in the Tin Tower ringing, which would signal Ho-Oh's approach. In ''[[EP265|Pop Goes The Sneasel]]'', it was seen using {{m|Sacred Fire}} in a flashback.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Ash saw Ho-Oh again after he parted ways with {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====
In ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', {{an|May}} first saw Ho-Oh flying across the sky and pointed it out to the rest of the group. This was after Ash lost an informal challenge against [[Pyramid King Brandon]] and was released from possession by the [[King of Pokélantis]]' spirit.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''=====
Ho-Oh appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP004|Dawn Of A New Era!]]''. After making amends with {{an|Dawn}}, Ash recalled seeing it on the day his {{pkmn|journey}} began.

=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====
In [[JN009]], Ho-Oh appeared at [[Ecruteak City]], though this time, it was only seen by [[Jiei]].

====Personality and characteristics====
Ho-Oh's personality is unknown as all of its appearances involve it flying around but it appeared to have chosen Ash as one of the people for its visits as evidenced in ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]''.

Ho-Oh's appearance is that it is a very large Pokémon, and there is one shot in ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]'' in the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] that shows three humans on their knees while Ho-Oh is perched up on a stand. Ho-Oh appears to be significantly larger than the humans.

===In ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''===
Ho-Oh reappeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is based in a continuity different from the main series.

Like in the main series, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} and {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|M20|Pikachu}} witnessed Ho-Oh flying in the sky shortly after setting off on their [[Pokémon journey|journey]]. Unlike the main series, however, it dropped a [[Rainbow Wing]] as it passed by, with Ash picking it up. Keeping the wing with him, Ash set out to eventually meet and battle Ho-Oh. He eventually did, and it had a battle with Pikachu, the outcome of which was unknown.

===In the movie adaptations===
====In the I Choose You! manga====
In {{ma|I Choose You!}}, Ho-Oh was seen flying over Ash and Pikachu after they dealt with a flock of {{p|Spearow}} and their {{AP|leader|Fearow}}. It dropped a Rainbow Wing in the process. Ho-Oh was then referenced to throughout Ash's journey to [[Mount Tensei]] where Ho-Oh will reside.

After Ash managed to place the Rainbow Wing on top of the rock, Ho-Oh appeared and Ash, {{ashfr}}, [[Cross]], [[Bonji]], and the Pokémon in the area got to see Ho-Oh. Ash and Pikachu then {{pkmn|battle}} Ho-Oh, but the battle was not shown.

====In the Pocket Monsters the Movie: I Choose You! Remix manga====
Ho-Oh appeared in a flashback towards the end of [[ICYR1]], where it flew over Ash and Pikachu, dropping a [[Rainbow Wing]] in the process.

Ho-Oh reappeared in [[ICYR3]], where it was responsible for the creation of {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}.

'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon, Giratina has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|second forme]] activated by giving Giratina a [[Griseous Orb]] to hold, or while it is in its home, the [[Distortion World]]. Its original forme, '''Altered Forme''', will then become '''Origin Forme'''.

Giratina's Origin Forme was officially revealed in early February 2008.

In Origin Forme, Giratina is the [[game mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}.

Along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, it is a member of the [[creation trio]] of [[Sinnoh]], representing {{wp|antimatter}}.

==Biology==
Giratina is a large gray draconic Pokémon with gold half rings circling the back of its neck. Its head has a gold crown-like object surrounding it with two large horns pointing sideways. A thick black stripe runs vertically along its front with red horizontal stripes. In its Altered Forme, it has two large black ghostly wings with red tips that can resemble claws. These wings can change shape as if it's a liquid or gas. Its six legs are thick and clawed.

In its Origin Forme, it takes on a serpentine look, with six black ghostly streamers on its back with red spikes at the tips. Its legs are reduced to spikes, and four additional golden spikes appear near the edge of its tail. While in Origin Forme, the three gold half-rings can grip objects. The horns on its head are now facing the back, and the black vertical stripe is broken into pieces and runs all the way down its body. Giratina can only be in its Origin Forme when in its home, the Distortion World, or when holding a [[Griseous Orb]].

Giratina is able to travel through and control dimensions besides those of time and space. When in its Origin Forme, it is able to pass through dimensions at will, however, it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the Distortion World. Giratina is a highly aggressive and territorial Pokémon that is protective of its home. [[Sinnoh myths|Legends]] claim that Giratina appears in cemeteries and that it supposedly lives in a world on the reverse side. It was said to be banished for "violence", though in the anime it is shown to possess a gentle side as well. Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Shadow Force}}.

===In the main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Giratina (movie)]]=====
Giratina debuted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it sought revenge against {{mov|Dialga}} for the damage it caused to its home, the [[Reverse World]], during its {{pkmn|battle}} with {{mov|Palkia}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. [[Zero]] later attempted to copy Giratina's powers so he could conquer the Reverse World. Throughout the {{pkmn|movie}}, Giratina would take on its Origin Forme whenever it is in the Reverse World, and its Altered Forme whenever it is in the real world.

Giratina reappeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', where it was shown for the first time with both the other members of [[Creation trio|its trio]]. It resumed its attack on Dialga, but was finally calmed down through the intervention of {{Ash}} and [[Sheena]]. It later joined forces with Dialga and Palkia to fight {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}.

=====Other=====
Giratina appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' as one of six [[Legendary Pokémon]] summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real {{an|Hoopa}} in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Giratina and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Giratina departed for its home. It appeared in both of its formes.

====Minor appearances====
Giratina made its main series debut in ''[[DP148|Try for the Family Stone!]]'' as an illusion that was created by {{OBP|Mitchell|DP148}}'s {{p|Murkrow}}.

Giratina appeared in Meowth's [[boss fantasy]] in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', alongside a {{p|Regigigas}}.

Giratina appeared in both of its formes in ''[[PG11|The New World]]'', where it interfered with [[Cyrus]]' plan to destroy the world and recreate it. It first emerged from the [[Distortion World]] to free {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} from the [[Red Chain]]. Then, it took Cyrus with it back to its home world. It was last seen in its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Giratina|Origin Forme}}, observing Cyrus as he regained consciousness, realized he was in the Distortion World, and accepted it as the new world he sought.

* In [[Generation IV]] only, when Giratina is in its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]] due to holding the [[Griseous Orb]], it cannot have its [[Ability]] changed by any means (such as {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Worry Seed}}). Giratina's Ability can still be copied (by {{a|Trace}} or {{m|Role Play}}) or suppressed by {{m|Gastro Acid}}. This effect is unrelated with the Ability itself. Giratina can still have its Ability changed when it is in [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|Altered Forme]].

===Origin===
Giratina may be based on the biblical figure of the {{wp|fallen angel}}, celestial beings that rebelled against God and were excommunicated to Hell. This is analogous to Giratina, due to being a Pokémon created by {{p|Arceus}} (Pokémon World's God) and excommunicated to another dimension due to its belligerent nature. Nonetheless, it might have drawn inspiration by {{wp|Samael}}, who is the ruler of the 5th Heaven and has grim and destructive duties whilst being member of a heavenly host; both traits allude to Giratina being the ruler of another dimension ([[Reverse World]]) and its threatening visage. These sources, along with its role, may also suggest Giratina being inspired by {{wp|Satan}}. Furthermore, both of Giratina's Forms resemble the {{wp|The Beast (Revelation)|Beasts of Revelation}}, with its Altered Form standing for the "Earth Beast", and its Origin Form standing for the "Sea Beast".

Giratina may also be based on Seta, a giant centipede, from the Japanese fairy-tale, "{{wp|My Lord Bag of Rice}}", which was said to prey on dragon hatchlings and be as large as a mountain.

In its Altered Forme, Giratina's wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a {{wp|sauropod}}.

Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based on a {{wp|scorpion}}'s stinger or {{wp|spider}} legs. This Forme also shares physical traits with the {{wp|Amphiptere}}, a {{wp|European dragon}}-like creature with wings but no legs. Its wings might also be based on {{wp|Seraph}} who are celestial beings of higher order that is symbolized by their six wings.

In interviews [[Junichi Masuda]] and Takeshi Kawachimaru did with {{wp|G4 (TV channel)|G4}}, they said that Giratina and the Distortion World were created to be personifications of {{wp|antimatter}}.<ref>[http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/694081/junichi-masuda-takeshi-kawachimaru-talk-pokemon-platinum-particle-physics-bridges-and-more/ Junichi Masuda & Takeshi Kawachimaru Talk 'Pokemon Platinum', Particle Physics, Bridges, And More! - G4tv.com]</ref> In HeartGold and SoulSilver, [[Cynthia]] also states this.

====Name origin====
Giratina may be a combination of ''{{wp|girasol}}'' (a type of red {{wp|opal}}), ''{{wp|guillotine}}'', or ''girare'' (Italian for ''to wander around''); and ''platina'' and プラチナ ''purachina'' (Japanese for {{wp|platinum}}).

'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon, Giratina has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|second forme]] activated by giving Giratina a [[Griseous Orb]] to hold, or while it is in its home, the [[Distortion World]]. Its original forme, '''Altered Forme''', will then become '''Origin Forme'''.

Giratina's Origin Forme was officially revealed in early February 2008.

In Origin Forme, Giratina is the [[game mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}.

Along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, it is a member of the [[creation trio]] of [[Sinnoh]], representing {{wp|antimatter}}.

==Biology==
Giratina is a large gray draconic Pokémon with gold half rings circling the back of its neck. Its head has a gold crown-like object surrounding it with two large horns pointing sideways. A thick black stripe runs vertically along its front with red horizontal stripes. In its Altered Forme, it has two large black ghostly wings with red tips that can resemble claws. These wings can change shape as if it's a liquid or gas. Its six legs are thick and clawed.

In its Origin Forme, it takes on a serpentine look, with six black ghostly streamers on its back with red spikes at the tips. Its legs are reduced to spikes, and four additional golden spikes appear near the edge of its tail. While in Origin Forme, the three gold half-rings can grip objects. The horns on its head are now facing the back, and the black vertical stripe is broken into pieces and runs all the way down its body. Giratina can only be in its Origin Forme when in its home, the Distortion World, or when holding a [[Griseous Orb]].

Giratina is able to travel through and control dimensions besides those of time and space. When in its Origin Forme, it is able to pass through dimensions at will, however, it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the Distortion World. Giratina is a highly aggressive and territorial Pokémon that is protective of its home. [[Sinnoh myths|Legends]] claim that Giratina appears in cemeteries and that it supposedly lives in a world on the reverse side. It was said to be banished for "violence", though in the anime it is shown to possess a gentle side as well. Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Shadow Force}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Giratina Altered Forme anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Altered Forme Giratina in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Giratina Origin Forme anime.png|thumb|250px|Origin Forme Giratina in the anime]]
===In the main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Giratina (movie)]]=====
Giratina debuted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it sought revenge against {{mov|Dialga}} for the damage it caused to its home, the [[Reverse World]], during its {{pkmn|battle}} with {{mov|Palkia}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. [[Zero]] later attempted to copy Giratina's powers so he could conquer the Reverse World. Throughout the {{pkmn|movie}}, Giratina would take on its Origin Forme whenever it is in the Reverse World, and its Altered Forme whenever it is in the real world.

Giratina reappeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', where it was shown for the first time with both the other members of [[Creation trio|its trio]]. It resumed its attack on Dialga, but was finally calmed down through the intervention of {{Ash}} and [[Sheena]]. It later joined forces with Dialga and Palkia to fight {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}.

=====Other=====
Giratina appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' as one of six [[Legendary Pokémon]] summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real {{an|Hoopa}} in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Giratina and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Giratina departed for its home. It appeared in both of its formes.

====Minor appearances====
Giratina made its main series debut in ''[[DP148|Try for the Family Stone!]]'' as an illusion that was created by {{OBP|Mitchell|DP148}}'s {{p|Murkrow}}.

Giratina appeared in both of its formes in ''[[PG11|The New World]]'', where it interfered with [[Cyrus]]' plan to destroy the world and recreate it. It first emerged from the [[Distortion World]] to free {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} from the [[Red Chain]]. Then, it took Cyrus with it back to its home world. It was last seen in its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Giratina|Origin Forme}}, observing Cyrus as he regained consciousness, realized he was in the Distortion World, and accepted it as the new world he sought.

* In [[Generation IV]] only, when Giratina is in its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]] due to holding the [[Griseous Orb]], it cannot have its [[Ability]] changed by any means (such as {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Worry Seed}}). Giratina's Ability can still be copied (by {{a|Trace}} or {{m|Role Play}}) or suppressed by {{m|Gastro Acid}}. This effect is unrelated with the Ability itself. Giratina can still have its Ability changed when it is in [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|Altered Forme]].

===Origin===
Giratina may be based on the biblical figure of the {{wp|fallen angel}}, celestial beings that rebelled against God and were excommunicated to Hell. This is analogous to Giratina, due to being a Pokémon created by {{p|Arceus}} (Pokémon World's God) and excommunicated to another dimension due to its belligerent nature. Nonetheless, it might have drawn inspiration by {{wp|Samael}}, who is the ruler of the 5th Heaven and has grim and destructive duties whilst being member of a heavenly host; both traits allude to Giratina being the ruler of another dimension ([[Reverse World]]) and its threatening visage. Furthermore, both of Giratina's Forms resemble the {{wp|The Beast (Revelation)|Beasts of Revelation}}, with its Altered Form standing for the "Earth Beast", and its Origin Form standing for the "Sea Beast". These sources, along with its role, may also suggest Giratina being inspired by {{wp|Satan}}.

Giratina may also be based on Seta, a giant centipede, from the Japanese fairy-tale, "{{wp|My Lord Bag of Rice}}", which was said to prey on dragon hatchlings and be as large as a mountain.

In its Altered Forme, Giratina's wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a {{wp|sauropod}}.

Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based on a {{wp|scorpion}}'s stinger or {{wp|spider}} legs. This Forme also shares physical traits with the {{wp|Amphiptere}}, a {{wp|European dragon}}-like creature with wings but no legs. Its wings might also be based on {{wp|Seraph}} who are celestial beings of higher order that is symbolized by their six wings.

'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon, Giratina has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|second forme]] activated by giving Giratina a [[Griseous Orb]] to hold, or while it is in its home, the [[Distortion World]]. Its original forme, '''Altered Forme''', will then become '''Origin Forme'''.

Giratina's Origin Forme was officially revealed in early February 2008.

In Origin Forme, Giratina is the [[game mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}.

Along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, it is a member of the [[creation trio]] of [[Sinnoh]], representing {{wp|antimatter}}.

==Biology==
Giratina is a large gray draconic Pokémon with gold half rings circling the back of its neck. Its head has a gold crown-like object surrounding it with two large horns pointing sideways. A thick black stripe runs vertically along its front with red horizontal stripes. In its Altered Forme, it has two large black ghostly wings with red tips that can resemble claws. These wings can change shape as if it's a liquid or gas. Its six legs are thick and clawed.

In its Origin Forme, it takes on a serpentine look, with six black ghostly streamers on its back with red spikes at the tips. Its legs are reduced to spikes, and four additional golden spikes appear near the edge of its tail. While in Origin Forme, the three gold half-rings can grip objects. The horns on its head are now facing the back, and the black vertical stripe is broken into pieces and runs all the way down its body. Giratina can only be in its Origin Forme when in its home, the Distortion World, or when holding a [[Griseous Orb]].

Giratina is able to travel through and control dimensions besides those of time and space. When in its Origin Forme, it is able to pass through dimensions at will, however, it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the Distortion World. Giratina is a highly aggressive and territorial Pokémon that is protective of its home. [[Sinnoh myths|Legends]] claim that Giratina appears in cemeteries and that it supposedly lives in a world on the reverse side. It was said to be banished for "violence", though in the anime it is shown to possess a gentle side as well. Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Shadow Force}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Giratina Altered Forme anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Altered Forme Giratina in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Giratina Origin Forme anime.png|thumb|250px|Origin Forme Giratina in the anime]]
===In the main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Giratina (movie)]]=====
Giratina debuted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it sought revenge against {{mov|Dialga}} for the damage it caused to its home, the [[Reverse World]], during its {{pkmn|battle}} with {{mov|Palkia}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. [[Zero]] later attempted to copy Giratina's powers so he could conquer the Reverse World. Throughout the {{pkmn|movie}}, Giratina would take on its Origin Forme whenever it is in the Reverse World, and its Altered Forme whenever it is in the real world.

Giratina reappeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', where it was shown for the first time with both the other members of [[Creation trio|its trio]]. It resumed its attack on Dialga, but was finally calmed down through the intervention of {{Ash}} and [[Sheena]]. It later joined forces with Dialga and Palkia to fight {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}.

=====Other=====
Giratina appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' as one of six [[Legendary Pokémon]] summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real {{an|Hoopa}} in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Giratina and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Giratina departed for its home. It appeared in both of its formes.

====Minor appearances====
Giratina made its main series debut in ''[[DP148|Try for the Family Stone!]]'' as an illusion that was created by {{OBP|Mitchell|DP148}}'s {{p|Murkrow}}.

Giratina appeared in Meowth's [[boss fantasy]] in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', alongside a {{p|Regigigas}}.

[[File:Giratina Altered Forme PG.png|thumb|left|220px|Altered Forme Giratina in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
[[File:Giratina Origin Forme PG.png|thumb|220px|Origin Forme Giratina in Pokémon Generations]]
Giratina appeared in both of its formes in ''[[PG11|The New World]]'', where it interfered with [[Cyrus]]' plan to destroy the world and recreate it. It first emerged from the [[Distortion World]] to free {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} from the [[Red Chain]]. Then, it took Cyrus with it back to its home world. It was last seen in its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Giratina|Origin Forme}}, observing Cyrus as he regained consciousness, realized he was in the Distortion World, and accepted it as the new world he sought.

* In [[Generation IV]] only, when Giratina is in its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]] due to holding the [[Griseous Orb]], it cannot have its [[Ability]] changed by any means (such as {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Worry Seed}}). Giratina's Ability can still be copied (by {{a|Trace}} or {{m|Role Play}}) or suppressed by {{m|Gastro Acid}}. This effect is unrelated with the Ability itself. Giratina can still have its Ability changed when it is in [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|Altered Forme]].

===Origin===
Giratina may be based on the biblical figure of the {{wp|fallen angel}}, celestial beings that rebelled against God and were excommunicated to Hell. This is analogous to Giratina, due to being a Pokémon created by {{p|Arceus}} (Pokémon World's God) and excommunicated to another dimension due to its belligerent nature. Nonetheless, it might have drawn inspiration by {{wp|Samael}}, who is the ruler of the 5th Heaven and has grim and destructive duties whilst being member of a heavenly host; both traits allude to Giratina being the ruler of another dimension ([[Reverse World]]) and its threatening visage. Furthermore, both of Giratina's Forms resemble the {{wp|The Beast (Revelation)|Beasts of Revelation}}, with its Altered Form standing for the "Earth Beast", and its Origin Form standing for the "Sea Beast". These sources, along with its role, may also suggest Giratina being inspired by {{wp|Satan}}.

Giratina may also be based on Seta, a giant centipede, from the Japanese fairy-tale, "{{wp|My Lord Bag of Rice}}", which was said to prey on dragon hatchlings and be as large as a mountain.

In its Altered Forme, Giratina's wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a {{wp|sauropod}}. Its wings might also be based on {{wp|Seraph}} who are celestial beings of higher order that is symbolized by their six wings.

Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based on a {{wp|scorpion}}'s stinger or {{wp|spider}} legs. This Forme also shares physical traits with the {{wp|Amphiptere}}, a {{wp|European dragon}}-like creature with wings but no legs.

In interviews [[Junichi Masuda]] and Takeshi Kawachimaru did with {{wp|G4 (TV channel)|G4}}, they said that Giratina and the Distortion World were created to be personifications of {{wp|antimatter}}.<ref>[http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/694081/junichi-masuda-takeshi-kawachimaru-talk-pokemon-platinum-particle-physics-bridges-and-more/ Junichi Masuda & Takeshi Kawachimaru Talk 'Pokemon Platinum', Particle Physics, Bridges, And More! - G4tv.com]</ref> In HeartGold and SoulSilver, [[Cynthia]] also states this.

====Name origin====
Giratina may be a combination of ''{{wp|girasol}}'' (a type of red {{wp|opal}}), ''{{wp|guillotine}}'', or ''girare'' (Italian for ''to wander around''); and ''platina'' and プラチナ ''purachina'' (Japanese for {{wp|platinum}}).

'''Go's Raboot''' (Japanese: '''ゴウのラビフット''' ''Go's Rabifuto'') is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} owned by {{an|Go}}, and the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] he {{pkmn2|caught}}.

==In the anime==
===History===
====As a wild Pokémon====
[[File:Go Scorbunny debut.png|thumb|left|250px|In its debut appearance, as a wild Scorbunny]]
In the past, as a Scorbunny, Raboot joined a trio of {{p|Nickit}} living in the alleys of [[Wyndon]] and teamed up with them to steal food for living. In order to blend in with them better, it covered itself in dirt.

Scorbunny first appeared in [[SS004]], where it and its Nickit friends stole {{Ash}}'s [[Bag]], which contained scones he and {{an|Go}} had bought. Go later lied to protect Scorbunny from the scone seller, claiming that Scorbunny was his Pokémon, although the scone seller immediately saw through his lies. After learning about Scorbunny's history, Go told it that it should try to explore the world beyond Wyndon. When Ash and Go rushed to catch their train to the [[Wild Area]], the Nickit carried Scorbunny to the train station and tossed it into the train. At first, Scorbunny was hesitant, but when the Nickit assured it that they could take care of themselves now, it happily bid them farewell, before rubbing the dirt off of its body.

In [[SS005]], Scorbunny tried to catch Go's attention aboard the train, but failed. When Go and Ash left the train at their stop, Scorbunny accidentally stayed on board before realizing what had happened, and was forced to jump from the moving train later on and try to catch up to Go by foot. After many hardships, it finally reached Go and Ash and managed to catch their attention while they were examining a {{p|Snorlax}}. Scorbunny expressed its willingness to become Go's Pokémon, but Go said that he had already decided to make {{p|Mew}} his first Pokémon. Suddenly, the Snorlax they had been examining [[Gigantamax]]ed and blocked a nearby train track in the process. With Scorbunny's help, Go and Ash were able to make Snorlax move and prevent an incoming train from hitting it. Impressed by Scorbunny's abilities, Go decided to make it his first Pokémon instead of Mew. Although Go's {{i|Poké Ball}} throw missed, Scorbunny hit it on its own and was successfully {{pkmn2|caught}}. When Go and Ash returned to the [[Sakuragi Institute]], [[Professor Sakuragi]] was surprised to see Go having caught a Pokémon.

====With Go====
[[File:Go Scorbunny.png|thumb|250px|As a Scorbunny]]
In [[SS007]], Go used Scorbunny in the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]], where it went up against [[Houji]], who had just defeated Go's {{TP|Go|Scyther}} with his {{p|Mightyena}}. Like Scyther before it, Scorbunny was quickly defeated, eliminating Go from the tournament.

In [[SS017]], after being taunted by Go's {{p|Darmanitan}}, Scorbunny tried to use {{m|Ember}}, only to fail. While Go thought Scorbunny's current moveset was enough, Scorbunny was determined to master the {{type|Fire}} [[move]]. During a {{pkmn|battle}} against {{TRT}}, Scorbunny disobeyed Go's order to use {{m|Double Kick}} and instead tried to use Ember, but failed once again, leading to its defeat at the hands of Team Rocket's {{p|Chewtle}}. When Go later criticized Scorbunny for trying too hard, it ran off to train on its own. When Go and Ash found it, it ran away again but accidentally bumped into Team Rocket. During the ensuing battle, Go, having finally understood Scorbunny's passion to learn Ember, taught it how to use the move by kicking a pebble with heated-up feet. This worked, and in celebrating its newly mastered move, Scorbunny evolved into Raboot and proceeded to send Team Rocket blasting off again. However, instead of celebrating the victory with Go, Raboot simply walked away from him.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Go and Raboot.png|thumb|left|250px|Raboot and Go]]
Raboot is a caring Pokémon that, prior to its capture, would steal food from food stalls to give to a group of {{p|Nickit}} living with it in the alleys of [[Wyndon]]. It even went as far as to cover itself with dirt to fit in with them. However, it appears to crave attention, as shown in the end of [[SS005]], where it got angry that [[Koharu]]'s {{p|Yamper}} and [[Ash's Pikachu]] wouldn't pay attention to it, before going to its Trainer with a tear in its eye. Raboot is an expert kicker who hates losing because it cares about its friends so much, especially its best friend and Trainer, Go. It is an energetic Pokémon that has difficulty sitting still, and can be seen kicking the air when needed to stay in one place. Raboot is very loyal to Go and will often sit on his shoulders. Also, Raboot will even jump up and give Go a high five with one of its feet.

After evolving, Raboot became more aloof, and it seems to have grown more distant to Go, as seen when it did not celebrate their victory over Team Rocket with him. It also appears to have developed a greater interest in [[Pokémon battle]]s. In [[SS018]], Raboot was quick to put up a disinterested front while Go watched {{Ash}}'s battle with [[Visquez]]. However, by the middle of the match, Raboot was watching the battle closely, and after Ash won, it seemed pleased. Despite this, by the time Pikachu came to greet it, it had composed itself again.

In [[SS006]], Raboot was revealed to have good hearing, being able to sense a {{p|Pidgeotto}} perching itself on a treetop from far away. It was also revealed to be hasty and quick to act, chasing after the same Pidgeotto and causing it to fly away. While it was later told to control itself, it soon got in the way of Go's attempts to catch a {{p|Diglett}}, making it burrow underground whenever it got close. While Go and Raboot's approaches to catching Pokémon clashed in the beginning, they were able to work around them as they kept capturing more Pokémon.

Raboot tends to stick up for other Pokémon, including ones it doesn't know. This was seen in [[SS015]], where it attacked a group of {{p|Mankey}} that were picking on a Cubone without any prompting from its Trainer.

==Edit Request==
Small edit Anime Pokedex entries 'Pelipper carry small items in their mouths over long distances and when tired, rest' carry - carries. Also, can someone put a comma inbetween distances and and, please? Thank you. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 14:59, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
:Just wondering if you watched the ep. If carry was said, (and yes, Pelipper can be plural, just like any other Pokémon) then the final entry should be <code>Pelipper carry small items in their mouths over long distances(possibly a comma) and, when tired, rest.</code>--'''[[User:Immewnity|''Mew'']] [[User talk:Immewnity|a.k.a.]] [[Special:Contributions/Immewnity|Immewnity]]''' was here at 14:34, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Ya, actually, I just finished watching the episode. And the 'when tired, rest' part, thats not the end of it, that's just where i cut off so i didnt have to write the whole entry on here. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 14:59, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

:Another edit request. Under Trivia, it says Pelipper is the only Water-type to learn Fly. It should say "Pelipper and its pre-evolution are the only", blah blah. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 18:59, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
::Wingull can't learn surf [[User:Malake256|WeavilePwns]] 01:45, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

==Pelipper's body shape==

If you look at it carefully, it kind of looks like a stylised trawling boat. Its feet look like propellers, its head looks like a boat's cockpit and its general body shape looks very boat-esque. The fact that it catches fish in its bill kind of alludes to why I'm seeing it. What does everyone else think? [[User:LordHeinz|LordHeinz]] ([[User talk:LordHeinz|talk]]) 13:05, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
:I agree that its head and body do resemble one (well a boat of some sort, anyway, not sure about specifically a trawling boat) and that it's probably deliberate. (The head is too odd a shape not to be, and its backside is oddly shaped, too.) The feet resembling propellers seems a little farfetched, though. They look like regular waterbird feet to me. Still, I don't think every visual design element needs to be stated in articles. 'tis a tad interesting, however. Good eye.

== Hydro Pump ==

My Pelipper in AlphaSapphire tried to learn Tailwind at level 44 and Hydro Pump at 50, while the page lists them in the opposite order. This is likely because of the order Pelipper learns these moves in XY (I assume? Didn't play). In turn, on the page for Tailwind it is listed that Pelipper learns the move at level 44 in ORAS, while on page for Hydro Pump, Pelipper is listed to learn the move at level 58. [[User:KingisNitro|KingisNitro]] ([[User talk:KingisNitro|talk]]) 21:58, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
:The levels for those two moves for both XY and ORAS were somehow flipped during a recent edit, and Hydro Pump's page has yet to be fully updated with ORAS levels. [[User:ArcToraphim|Kai]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 03:33, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello. I was just wandering around on my Kyogre near the battle resort, and I found a Pelliper holding a pretty wing. When I went to this wiki page, though, there was no held items location. Is there any way to make one?

:I think I can do that. I believe wild Pelipper have a 50% chance of holding a Pretty Wing and a 5% chance of holding a Lucky Egg. I might be incorrect about those probabilities.

'''Go's Raboot''' (Japanese: '''ゴウのラビフット''' ''Go's Rabifuto'') is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} owned by {{an|Go}}, and the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] he {{pkmn2|caught}}.

==In the anime==
===History===
====As a wild Pokémon====
[[File:Go Scorbunny debut.png|thumb|left|250px|In its debut appearance, as a wild Scorbunny]]
In the past, as a Scorbunny, Raboot joined a trio of {{p|Nickit}} living in the alleys of [[Wyndon]] and teamed up with them to steal food for living. In order to blend in with them better, it covered itself in dirt.

Scorbunny first appeared in [[SS004]], where it and its Nickit friends stole {{Ash}}'s [[Bag]], which contained scones he and {{an|Go}} had bought. Go later lied to protect Scorbunny from the scone seller, claiming that Scorbunny was his Pokémon, although the scone seller immediately saw through his lies. After learning about Scorbunny's history, Go told it that it should try to explore the world beyond Wyndon. When Ash and Go rushed to catch their train to the [[Wild Area]], the Nickit carried Scorbunny to the train station and tossed it into the train. At first, Scorbunny was hesitant, but when the Nickit assured it that they could take care of themselves now, it happily bid them farewell, before rubbing the dirt off of its body.

In [[SS005]], Scorbunny tried to catch Go's attention aboard the train, but failed. When Go and Ash left the train at their stop, Scorbunny accidentally stayed on board before realizing what had happened, and was forced to jump from the moving train later on and try to catch up to Go by foot. After many hardships, it finally reached Go and Ash and managed to catch their attention while they were examining a {{p|Snorlax}}. Scorbunny expressed its willingness to become Go's Pokémon, but Go said that he had already decided to make {{p|Mew}} his first Pokémon. Suddenly, the Snorlax they had been examining [[Gigantamax]]ed and blocked a nearby train track in the process. With Scorbunny's help, Go and Ash were able to make Snorlax move and prevent an incoming train from hitting it. Impressed by Scorbunny's abilities, Go decided to make it his first Pokémon instead of Mew. Although Go's {{i|Poké Ball}} throw missed, Scorbunny hit it on its own and was successfully {{pkmn2|caught}}. When Go and Ash returned to the [[Sakuragi Institute]], [[Professor Sakuragi]] was surprised to see Go having caught a Pokémon.

====With Go====
[[File:Go Scorbunny.png|thumb|250px|As a Scorbunny]]
In [[SS007]], Go used Scorbunny in the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]], where it went up against [[Houji]], who had just defeated Go's {{TP|Go|Scyther}} with his {{p|Mightyena}}. Like Scyther before it, Scorbunny was quickly defeated, eliminating Go from the tournament.

In [[SS017]], after being taunted by Go's {{p|Darmanitan}}, Scorbunny tried to use {{m|Ember}}, only to fail. While Go thought that Scorbunny's current moveset was enough, Scorbunny was determined to master the {{type|Fire}} [[move]]. During a battle against {{TRT}}, Scorbunny disobeyed Go's order to use {{m|Double Kick}} and instead tried to use Ember, but failed once again, leading to its defeat by Team Rocket's {{p|Chewtle}}. When Go later criticized Scorbunny on trying too hard, it ran off to train on its own. When Go and Ash found it, it ran away again, accidentally bumping into Team Rocket. During the ensuing battle, Go, having finally understood Scorbunny's passion to learn Ember, taught it how to use the move by kicking a pebble with heated-up feet. This worked, and in celebrating its newly mastered move, Scorbunny evolved into {{p|Raboot}} and then proceeded to send Team Rocket blasting off again. However, instead of celebrating the victory with Go, Raboot simply walked away from him.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Go and Raboot.png|thumb|left|250px|Raboot and Go]]
Raboot is a caring Pokémon that, prior to its capture, would steal food from food stalls to give to a group of {{p|Nickit}} living with it in the alleys of [[Wyndon]]. It even went as far as to cover itself with dirt to fit in with them. However, it appears to crave attention, as shown in the end of [[SS005]], where it got angry that [[Koharu]]'s {{p|Yamper}} and [[Ash's Pikachu]] wouldn't pay attention to it, before going to its Trainer with a tear in its eye. Raboot is an expert kicker who hates losing because it cares about its friends so much, especially its best friend and Trainer, Go. It is an energetic Pokémon that has difficulty sitting still, and can be seen kicking the air when needed to stay in one place. Raboot is very loyal to Go and will often sit on his shoulders. Also, Raboot will even jump up and give Go a high five with one of its feet. After evolving, it seems to have grown more distant to Go, as seen when it did not celebrate their victory over Team Rocket with him.

In [[SS006]], Raboot was shown to have good hearing, being able to sense a {{p|Pidgeotto}} perching on a treetop from far away. It was also shown to be hasty and quick to act, chasing after the Pidgeotto and causing it to fly away. While it was later told to control itself, it soon got in the way of Go's attempts to capture a {{p|Diglett}}, making it burrow underground whenever it got close. While Go and Raboot's approaches to capturing Pokémon clashed in the beginning, they were able to work around them as they kept capturing more Pokémon.

Raboot is shown to stick up for other Pokémon, including ones it doesn't know. This was seen in [[SS015]] where it attacked a group of {{p|Mankey}} that were picking on a Cubone without any prompting from its Trainer.

* Raboot was the quickest to evolve to its second stage among the [[Starter Pokémon|starter Pokémon]] in the anime, spending just 13 episodes as a Scorbunny and beating the 32 episodes it took for [[Ash's Charmeleon]] to evolve from [[Charmander]].
**Interestingly, like Ash's Charmander, Raboot goes through a personality change after evolving.

'''Thievul''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フォクスライ''' ''Fokusurai'') is a {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nickit}} starting at [[level]] 18.

==Biology==
{{cleanup|section|width=50%}}
Thievul is an orange-maroon vulpine Pokémon with a moderate build, slender limbs, and a long tail. It has white chest fur that puffs out from its body and vaguely resembles a cravat, long black ears, black fur around its eyes resembling a {{wp|domino mask}}, black whiskers in the form of a pointed mustache, and white markings above its eyes resembling eyebrows. Its paws, back, and the tip of its tail are all black, and it retains the flared tail-tip of its pre-evolution {{p|Nickit}}.

When it finds a potential target, it will secretly mark a scent on them. Thievul uses that scent to track and stalk its targets. By using its lithe body and claws, Thievul steals the foods and eggs from them when they least expect it. {{p|Boltund}} is an enemy of Thievul. It competes with {{p|Liepard}} for territory.

==Trivia==
* Thievul and Nickit share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Braixen}} and {{p|Delphox}}. They are all known as the Fox Pokémon.

===Origin===
Thievul appears to be based on the {{wp|red fox}}. Its facial features and mustache-like whiskers also bear a resemblance to stereotypical depictions of thieves and burglars, as well as the {{wp|gentleman thief}} trope. Its front legs resemble gloves, which thieves and burglars would have to wear. Thievul's relationship with Boltund is a reference to {{wp|Fox hunting}} where red foxes were hunted by hounds which Boltund appears to be based on.

====Name origin====
Thievul may be a combination of ''thief'', ''evil'', and ''vulpine''.

Fokusurai may be a combination of ''fox'' and ''sly''.
