== [[Baby Pokémon]]? ==

Like {{p|Riolu}} in [[Sinnoh]], Meraruba is only obtainable via an [[egg]] given to the player on {{rt|18|Isshu}}. Does this qualify it for Baby Pokémon status? -- [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 00:06, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
:I'd say no. Unlike traditional Baby Pokémon (including Riolu), Meraruba can breed. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 00:20, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

== Not sure if this is worth mentioning. ==

It's something pertaining to this trivia:

''Out of all Pokémon that evolve by a set level, Meraruba evolves later than any other Pokémon who have not yet evolved, at level 59.''

Is it worth mentioning that it's somewhat interesting that it takes the longest to go through one stage of evolution despite being a Bug-type? A type that is infamous for having Pokemon that reach their final forms at lower levels than other types. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 09:46, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
:It could be good. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:04, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

== I'm surprised. ==

Surprised that you guys haven't applied some kind of Engrish-- excuse me, ''romanization'' of this Poke's name. You know, something like "Melarva". Just saying. '''[[User:SharKing|SharKing]] [[User talk:SharKing|Productions]]''' 03:31, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
: We're currently waiting for the rest of the official romanizations to be released before moving any other pages to different names. There is no need for remarks like that. --'''[[User:Darkeiya|Darkeiya]]''' ''[[User talk:Darkeiya|talk to me!]]'' 03:52, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

== Dex entry ==

...Is it supposed to say "Pokémon" in Latin characters?—[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 02:49, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
:This is a good point. I would doubt that it would be in Latin characters? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:50, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
::That's from the Kanji Mode, which has no character restrictions. I'm sure dex entries in Kana Mode have nothing but hiragana and katakana.--[[User:Kaoz|Kaoz]] 19:13, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

== Travia ==

How about "Meraruba has higher attack than its evolution form" can we add this?[[User:Meearaimeng|Meearaimeng]] 02:56, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
:A similar thing occurs for many Pokémon. Most, if not all, the second stage pupae-like Pokémon (Metapod, Kakuna, Shelgon, etc.) have a higher defense than their evolved forms. Trapinch's attack is higher than Vibrava's. There are many more too, those are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head. So no, it's not notable enough to add as trivia. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 08:52, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

== Meraruba is based on a Moth and {{wp|Tower of the Sun}}. ==

Larvesta's name is obviously derived from the word "larva", but where does the -esta part come from? -- [[User:Nebula|Nebula]] 11:25, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

==Trivia==
* Out of all Pokémon that evolve by a set level, Larvesta evolves later than any other Pokémon who have not yet evolved, at level 59.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Larvesta and its {{p|Volcarona|evolution}}.
* Larvesta is the last Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] that evolves into another Pokémon.
* Larvesta learns a new move every ten levels. It would share this trait with its evolved form, but Volcarona also learns {{m|Butterfly Dance}} at level 59.

===Origin===
Larvesta is based on a {{wp|Moth}} and {{wp|Tower of the Sun}}. Larvesta appears to be based on an {{wp|Atlas moth}} larva. The way its red growths are shaped and positioned on its circular body may be a reference to the sun.
====Name origin====
Larvesta's name is derived from "larva", a term for an infant insect.

Meraruba may derive from ''"meramera"'' (flare), ''"larva"'', and ''"grub"''.

Does anyone have a picture of Ash's Sinnoh gym badges?
== Ash's Gible... ==

Look, I tried to insert it in because it's fact that he's getting one. If it was just people talking on the forum, then I could let it stay off. However, we have had a Yahoo Japanese Shopping Catalogue AND Amazon.com explicitly refer to a Gible Toy that's being released as being "Ash's Gible". THAT'S why it needs to be in this article's trivia section, if anywhere. Don't believe me? Check these out:

1. http://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/mizota/100700793.html
2. http://www.serebiiforums.com/showpost.php?p=10540887&postcount=1
3. http://www.amazon.co.jp/バンダイ-ポケットモンスター-キメわざポケモンキッズDP4-BOX-食玩/dp/B002QQ7C4I

Ok, so technically, number two was a forum post, but it supplied the translation of what #1 said. For number 3, here's the Japanese Text:

Also, Babelfish did a translation on the last portion of the sentence, and here's what it said:

"Furthermore it becomes [pokemon] of the companion where [satoshi] becomes new “[fukamaru]” is lined up. (All the 15 types)"

::::End of the year doesn't always mean the last week of December. Sometimes it can mean the beginning of Fall. The episode aired October 1st.

== Regarding the section about Ash as a character ==
Much of it is convoluted and poorly constructed. The problem appears to be that new contributions are not seamlessly integrated with those already in place, resulting in a lack of observable rhyme or reason. This hinders the flow of the writing, making the entire segment sub-par.

Bulbapedia has standards for a reason, and it is to avoid something like this happening as the result of numerous individuals contributing to one article. As it stands, I feel the entire section should be cleaned up and revised. [[User:Vipera|Vipera]] 21:16, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
:I Agree. - [[User:Vhayes1992|Vhayes1992]] 22:34, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
::Go on then. Show us what you're made of ;) —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 05:34, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
:::Forgive me if I misinterpreted the tone of your comment, but I read it as being awfully snide.

:::I've already done some minor stylistic and grammatical revision to the section in question and plan to overhaul it using the information already present, but that's about all I can do. I'm not as knowledgeable about Ash as most others here since I'm only up to EP224 and therefore hesitant to make contributions in the form of information - I would likely be mistaken on many subjects since my anime experience is incomplete at best and woefully lacking at the very worst.

:::The appeal of a wiki lies in the fact that multiple users can contribute to a single article in numerous ways, as each brings to the table different skill sets and areas of expertise. That is why I've called attention to this issue. I can't make the necessary improvements alone. [[User:Vipera|Vipera]] 06:27, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
::::Uh, sorry. I didn't mean it like that and I don't consider myself to be a "snide" person. I was merely trying to encourage you to be bold and take on the section. I know less about the anime than you do, otherwise I'd offer help as well.

== Telepathic side of Aura and Pikachu ==

I was thinking, is it possible that Ash was using Latent Aura powers to understand Pikachu? I know it wasn't invented till gen 4, but it's something to mention as a possibility. --[[User:Jono R|Jono R]] 22:50, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Thats speculation, probabaly not true [[User:SpecialK|SpecialK Leiks Lucario and believe in Missingno. Master's Celebi Glitch because i caught one!]] 15:55, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

== Azelf ==

I think Azelf should be added, because not only was it legendary. But also because Ash commanded it and he actually had a telepathic bond to it. Aside from Riolu how often does that happen? --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 22:59, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
:Didn't do it for Riolu, why do it for Azelf? --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 23:01, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
:: I'm going to say that it's because Azelf had more of a story than Riolu. This whole Pixie storyline began with Dawn and Mesprit. Which culminated to DP151 and DP152. Where we have Ash, Brock, and Dawn being telepathically connected to the pixies. Ash, Brock, and Dawn could feel when something bad happened to them. And when the pixies were in real trouble, the human trio teleported to them from Cynthia's Jeep right in the middle of Team Galactic's headquarters. Then when Ash, Brock, and Dawn saved them from the red crystal/chain the pixies allowed them to order them commands. Besides how are Raichu, Spoink, and Mantyke more notable? Raichu only got an episode while Spoink and Mantyke got very little screen time. How they are more notable then Riolu or Azelf is beyond me. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 02:25, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
:::My two cents: I think Ash's connection with Azelf is totally important, and I was very nearly about to side with you, but after thinking about it I figured that if Azelf were to be added, it would have to be in a "befriended" section. And if we gave Ash a "befriended" section, then we'd have to list ALL the Pokemon he befriended, and I think that alone could very well crash the server. (An exaggeration, but you get the point.) But their connection should still be mentioned - and I think it's possibly even important enough to be given its own paragraph in the "character" section, instead of just being added on to the paragraph about his connection with legendary Pokemon. I say this because there was buildup to this over the course of DP, and is thus monumental enough to have quite a bit said about it. The same goes for Dawn and Brock, and their respective pixies.

== Ash's Legendary Friends ==
I couldn't find any edit button on Ash's page and I couldn't figure out how to contact the mods of this site, so I brought my question here; please let me know if this is not the place or if this is not how to get information.

I was reading Ash's page when I came suddenly to Ash's Legendary friends, it claims he has a close connection with Ho-Oh, Lugia, Latias, Azelf, Shaymin and Giratina. Where is Mewtwo? The two had a rough start but Ash also has a close connection to Mewtwo. Afterall, It was Ash who softened Mewtwo in the first movie and in the Pokemon Special: Mewtwo's Return, Mewtwo calls Ash and "Unique human, one of a kind." and they part by saying how they'll always remember each other. Mewtwo is also able to contact Ash even over long distances. I think Mewtwo should be added to that list of Ash's legendary friends. {{unsigned|Artbender}}
:Ash's page is currently protected due to upcoming anime things. Mewtwo's kinda... I dunno. I suppose you could say that he and Ash have a friendship, but as for any ability to contact Ash? Um. Wha? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 10:34, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
::I think he's talking about when Ash heard Mewtwo's voice at the end of Mewtwo Returns. Mewtwo may have just been hiding in the city somewhere, so who knows exactly how far away they were, but I recall reading somewhere on Bulbapedia that the city they then show Mewtwo watching over/hiding in resembles New York City, so it could be assumed that he was far away. But even if that part is left out, I'd definitely include Mewtwo as one of Ash's legendary friends. --[[User:Jared|Ja]][[User talk:Jared|red]] 22:35, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, Jared! that's exactly what I ment. {{unsigned|Artbender}}
Mewtwo is not one of Ash's Legendary friends. At the end of movie 1, Mewtwo erases everyones memory, including Ash's. Ash does not remember Mewtwo, and Mewtwo does not use his telepathy to contact Ash at all... and that includes Mewtwo Returns. [[User:Pokemon26|Pokemon26]] 13:30, 19 July 2010

Yes he does. They become friends by the ends of Mewtwo Returns, and by what Ash says; "This time, we'll both remember." It suggests that Mewtwo gave Ash's memories of their first meeting back. [[User:Artbender|Artbender]] 04:55, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

== about gym battles ==

The Gym battle (first time) is in DP 166. Sunyshore Gym will shut down because of a power outage during the battle. Volkner will ask Ash to come back when it is repaired. Ash says that he will use the time for more training. Ash comes back to Sunyshore in DP 179, where he has his battle and wins. That should be where the badge acquisition is.

== Identifying Genders ==

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to identify a Pokémon's gender (when confirmed) for a main character in the new link boxes. For example:

{| align="center" width="100%"
|-
| {{ActivePoké|Ash|Pikachu|Ash Pikachu.png|electric}} ♂
| {{ActivePoké|Ash|Buizel|Ash Buizel.png|water}} ♂
| {{ActivePoké|Ash|Gible|Ash Gible.png|dragon|ground}} ♂
|-
| {{InactivePoké|Ash|Bulbasaur|Ash Bulbasaur.png|grass|poison}} ♂
| {{InactivePoké|Ash|Bayleef|Ash Bayleef.png|grass|fir=Chikorita}} ♀
| {{InactivePoké|Dawn|Ambipom|AshAipom.png|normal|disp=Aipom}} ♀
|}

Just this is the way it's displayed for the manga characters, so we might as well implement it for the anime characters as well. What does everyone think? [[User:Watchermark|Watchermark]] 12:56, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

:The problem is that most Pokémon in the anime don't have confirmed genders. Only.... 25% maybe. Give or take a few. And are you asking that we use the link boxes for ''only'' the ones that have been confirmed? Or use it for all, but keep the genders off? '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 13:30, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Could someone remove this?
The three Fire-type starter Pokémon Ash owns are each at a different evolutionary stage. Cyndaquil is in its first, Monferno its second, and Charizard its third.
Monferno evolved in the latest episode, so it's no longer true.
Also, if that was worthy of being mentioned, then perhaps it should be mentioned that Kingler is the only water-type Pokémon he's evolved so far.

:This is Obsolete and should be removed. I'm surprise no one tried to make a similar trivia saying that, "out of all the grass types he has"

I've been going through and fixing broken Pokeani links, and I noticed that Ash doesn't have a link to his Pokeani list of Pokemon - and it seems he's the only main character who ''doesn't'' have such a link on his page. I'm assuming it's because his list of Pokemon [http://pokeani.com/poke/list/r_poke-satoshi1.html is broken into] [http://pokeani.com/poke/list/r_poke-satoshi2.html two different pages] (being such a massive list and all), but it kind of seems ridiculous that '''''ASH "JESUS H.

Ash went down to 4 because of the Suzaran Conference. He wanted to use his older pokemon. Notice that most of the ones he intends to use of his older crew are Johto pokemon, with the exception of Muk, Staraptor, Gible, Snorlax, and of Course, Pikachu.

== Ash's Pokémon On Hand Box? ==

Hello I am a long time fan of Bulbapedia, brand new editor. I noticed something weird on Ash's page. In the page itself, in the section on what Pokémon Ash has On Hand, it has the Pokémon for next week's episode (Noctowl, Donphan and Gible), when he battles Conway. However, in the little box that is on the bottom of the page that is supposed to show the same thing, it has his Pokemon from last week's episode, when he battled Nando (Heracross, Quilava and Staraptor). It is likewise on all of the pages that link to Ash's page (i.e. on all of the pages of his Pokémon). Can someone fix this? I would do it myself, but like I said, I am brand new to editing and I don't know how.

I understand that the article cannot be unprotected due to the imminent release of B&W and Best Wishes, but can some admin PLEASE change the Pokemon in his on hand section?

Dark - Ghost - Ice - Dragon = Dark beats Ghost, Ghost doesn't beat any type here or is resistant to any, Ice beats Dragon, Dragon does not have a type advantage

Bug - Ground - Fire - Psychic = Bug beats Psychic, Ground beats Fire, Fire beats Bug, Psychic has no advantage.

So technically, if Generation III has a missing link (Ghost and Ice), and considering Generation IV does not have a consistent relationship (i.e. the type before beats the previous or the type after beats next type) and also has a missing link (Psychic)then shouldn't both Generations' Elite Fours' types be considered to have a relationship? They're both pretty loose relationships.

== Needs to be less ambiguous ==

From the article:
*[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and]] [[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]] are the only games in the series where only the champion has Pokémon of a different type. Though [[Wallace]] is the champion in Emerald and all his Pokémon are {{t|water}}.
This needs to be made clearer. If by "different type" it means "not one consistent type", then Emerald shouldn't be included, but all of the Kanto and Sinnoh games should. I can't see any meaning of the phrase which would only include the Hoenn games and nothing else. But I'm posting it here before editing in case I've misunderstood.

{{wp|Koichi Zenigata|Homage}}? Especially considering what Looker's done in the anime? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:16, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Woo! Looker is looking like an identical twin brother (except the face of his shape) of Koichi Zenigata.
Same uniform + same job.
Weird !!!

Its also possible that he may be a homage to {{wp|The Tenth Doctor|The Tenth Doctor}}. I had a little write up of why, but someone deleted it (and I would guess they've never seen Doctor Who, so they just don't get it. I think the similarities are just as worthy of a mention in the Trivia section. Anyway, here is what I had wrote"'' "Some fans also speculate that Looker is based on [http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Tenth_Doctor The Tenth Doctor], a fictional character from the British Sci-Fi, [http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Doctor_Who Doctor Who]. Looker is compared to The Doctor due to having a similar outfit to The Doctor's usual attire, having a similar hair style, and being involved with a plot relating to time travel, alternate dimensions, and outer space; which are heavy themes in Doctor Who. At no point in the game is Looker seen battling, which may be reference to The Doctor's dislike of fighting."'' --[[User:Dojorkan|Dojorkan]] 21:41, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
*I would have written it off as coincidence, until a minor character in ''The End of Time Part 1'' says that The Doctor is "a bit of a looker". It's impossible to say either way, since THAT could also be a coincidence. - [[User:Nebula|Nebula]] 03:09, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

In the article, it says that "Pluto always wanted to hug his new friend, but he couldn't for obvious reasons." and "obvious reasons" has a link to Discharge. In my opinion, he couldn't hug Rotom because it was a '''Ghost'''. You can ride a Ponyta and not get burned, so why can't you hug a Rotom (if you could) and not get electrocuted? It also says "Pluto realized that Rotom had entered his toy. He could then finally hug his new friend.", if he couldn't hug Rotom because it's an Electric-Type, then he'd still be electrocuted. I think that they meant he could hug Rotom now that it had a physical form. Anybody else think so? [[User:Rpp|Rpp]] 00:33, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, maybe the English Nintendo guys figured Pluto was too cool a name for an executive you don't even get to fight. Pluto really should be Akagi's title, in my opinion (if the planet names are actually codename titles, which makes more sense to me then calling someone Mars, Jupiter, or Saturn). I was quite disappointed when they gave away Pluto to another executive, because Pluto is the God of the Underworld. Charon works for Pluto, so that would make more sense. Of course, Japanese names overrule English names, so I have no idea what the English Nintendo guys are doing, especially since they kept the other Galaxy Executives names the same.

Nebula: /* Animee */

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial '''B''' (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.

Team Rocket motto

Nebula:

The '''Team Rocket motto''' is a motto that [[Team Rocket]] members often recite and/or live by.

==In the anime==
[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} have several mottos, saying one of them in nearly every episode when they reveal themselves to [[Ash Ketchum]] and [[Ash's friends|his friends]]. Early on, they had an irresistible urge to say it whenever hearing the word "trouble", but this seemingly has been left to the past.

===Original motto===

Since [[EP002|the episode Team Rocket was introduced in]], the duo has used rhyming "prepare for trouble" and "make it double" phrases. An example from ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]'', where Jessie was training {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and Meowth filled in for her, is:
:'''Meowth:''' Prepare for trouble, here in the wood...
:'''James:''' ... and make it double, like you know that you should!

Also, the lines "To denounce the evils of truth and love!" and "To extend our reach to the stars above!" were often said by both [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in the [[Pokémon: Indigo League|first season]].

There were many occasions in which they would use a radio or something else to play the background music.Also, in many later episodes, James said "fight, fight, fight" at the end of his last line. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} also began saying its name at the end of the motto in ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', and has done so in most episodes since.

It should also be noted that this version of the motto was used in commercials for [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]] with each line being said by different children, omitting the parts where Jessie, James and Meowth say their own names and the line "Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light."

====''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'' motto====
In this episode Team Rocket opens "Salon Roquet" and for this reason introduces itself with a special motto.

:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from boring fashion!

:'''James:''' To extend our art to outer spaces!

====''[[EP096|Meowth Rules!]]'' motto====
In this episode Meowth, being hit by [[Ash's Squirtle]]'s water gun, flies up and falls on an island where a strange tribe worshipping Meowth lives. Almost in the end of the episode when Meowth feels lonely and says he misses [[Jessie]] and [[James]], they both appear and recite a special version of their motto for Meowth. At the same time, the tribal priest and high priest beg Meowth to stay with the tribe.

:'''The priest:''' Great One, our people need you here!
:'''Jessie:''' I'm the one who needs you too!
:'''James:''' Make it double, we both need you!
:'''Jessie:''' You protect us both from desperation!
:'''James:''' You unite us all in jubilation!
:'''Jessie:''' You help chase away our loneliness!
:'''James:''' You're a mess, but we love you nevertheless!

:'''Jessie:''' To protect my head from humiliation!
:'''James:''' Too bad her hair went on vacation!
:'''Jessie:''' My gorgeous hair was my one true love!
:'''James:''' They went together like a hand and glove!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!

:'''James:''' But you're both out, what makes it a double play!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect our team from devastation!
:'''James:''' To excite our side with a big ovation!
:'''Jessie:''' To strike out the evils of truth and love!
:'''James:''' To extend our reach with a baseball glove!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket throws their fastballs at the speed of light!
''James catches a ball thrown by Jessie''

''Jessie and James throw themselves into each other's arms''

:'''Jessie:''' James!
:'''James:''' Jessie!
:'''Meowth (''with tears in his face''):''' That's... right!

====''[[EP123|Spinarak Attack]]'' motto====

:'''James:''' And split the spoils with one another!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Thieves return under cover of night!
:'''James:''' Surrender now or prepare to fight!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth! That's right!

====''[[EP158|The Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' motto====
This motto was recited by Jessie and James after they had confused some wares at a food store with free samples and had been caught by a saleswoman.

:'''Jessie:''' Now you're in for a bunch of trouble!
:'''James:''' We're eating lunch, so make it double!
:'''Jessie:''' To eat and drink to our hearts' content!
:'''James:''' Without even having to spend a single cent!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of paying for food!
:'''James:''' We won't leave a single sample unchewed!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket loves scarfing down free samples at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' Yes, and we like to eat even more than we like to fight!
:'''Meowth:''' You got that right!

This episode is also notable due to the fact that Team Rocket did not shout out their usual "blasting off" phrase in it, even before disappearing in the [[Magnet Train|Magnet Train tunnel]] although the shining star did appear.

====''[[EP165|Hassle in the Castle]]'' motto====
In this episode Team Rocket breaks into a castle that later appeared to be a hospital, where Pokémon were used to treat people. Upon stealing some food from the dining room and trying to get away, Team Rocket was caught by [[Dr. Anna]] and Brock.

:'''Jessie:''' To protect us from all that chafing and itching!
:'''James:''' It might finally stop all of Jessie's... complaining!
:'''Jessie:''' To irradicate the evils of athlete's feet!
:'''James:''' Maybe I can get rid of my prickly heat!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket's been scratching at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' So give us some salve or we'll never sleep tonight!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth, that's right.

====''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'' motto====
In this episode Jessie and James enter a Pokémon Beauty Contest, pretending not to be members of team Rocket (they even forbid Meowth to talk). Because they want to be the first to show their Pokémon in order to make a better impression on the judges, they lock up the first contestant and appear on the stage instead of him. A small delay happens due to this.

:'''Jessie:''' Sorry we're late, it takes a while...
:'''James:''' ...to give our Pokémon flare and style!
:'''Jessie:''' We hope our Pokémon will amaze all of you!
:'''James:''' We're giving each one a look that's brand new!
:'''Jessie:''' We're creating a trend and it's gonna be big!
:'''James (''combing a wig on Jessie's Wobbuffet''):''' And this doesn't even look like a wig!
:'''Jessie:''' We two aren't fakers!
:'''James:''' We're style makers!
:'''Jessie:''' We're cutting and curling at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' Put yourself in our hands and we'll make you look right, right, right!
:'''Wobbuffet:''' Wobbuffet!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth, Meowth, Meowth!

====''[[EP175|Trouble With Snubbull]]'' motto====
In this episode Team Rocket tries to catch [[Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull]] in order to return it to her and receive a reward, which they suppose to be quite large.

:'''Jessie:''' Prepare to say good-bye to all of our trouble!
:'''James:''' Prepare to say hello to Snubbull!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect ourselves from being poor!
:'''James:''' When we get enough, we'll still get more!
:'''Jessie:''' We'll capture Snubbull and return it to its rich owner and get a big reward!
:'''James:''' Then there won't be anything we can't afford!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket likes blasting off at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' But catching that Snubbull and getting that reward would be a delight!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth! That's right!

====''[[EP196|Control Freak!]]'' motto====
Jessie and James recite this motto after Jessie obtains ancient mask and the staff that can be used to control any Pokémon without catching it.

:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for the worst trouble you've ever seen!
:'''James:''' With the staff and the mask Jessie's the queen!
:'''Jessie:''' I'll rule the world with power and might!
:'''James:''' She'll capture Pokémon without a fight!
:'''Jessie:''' A queen, whose subjects must all kneel down before me!
:'''James:''' Yeah... But... I'll just kneel on one knee.
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie, Her Royal Highness!
:'''James:''' James, her lowly... Hey, wait a second!
:'''Jessie:''' Queen Jessie ruling all with power and might!

:'''James:''' We'll ring across the land!
:'''Jessie:''' And then, when {{p|Ho-Oh}} reappears,
:'''James:''' We will quickly switch gears!
:'''Jessie:''' Because, together we will show,
:'''James:''' That we can beat old Ho-Oh!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket! Ringing at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' Our Crystal Bells pack a mighty fight, fight, fight!
:'''Wobbuffet:''' Wobbuffet!

====''[[EP231|Dues and Don'ts]]'' motto====
At the beginning of this episode Ash and his friends meet Jessie, James and Meowth dressed up as American football players.

:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble, don’t drop the ball!

:'''Jessie:''' To protect our team we won’t call it quits!
:'''James:''' We’ll unite our runners with a fourth down blitz!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of an eight-round pick!
:'''James:''' To extend our reach with a three-point kick!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket does one for the giver at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' No timeouts, the clock’s running, so let's fight, fight, fight!
:'''Meowth:''' Touchdown! That’s right!

====''[[EP233|A Tyrogue Full of Trouble]]'' motto====
This motto is recited when Team Rocket steals the Tyrogue that [[Kiyo]] later captures.

:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble as Tyrogue sails away!
:'''James:''' And make it double, 'cause we really can’t stay!

:'''James:''' The crystal ball says make it double!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the future from devastation!
:'''James:''' To unite all psychics within our nation!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of non-belief!
:'''James:''' To read our fortunes from a green-tea leaf!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket searches for mystical truth at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' Surrender now and tell me your sign, or prepare to fight, fight, fight,
:'''Meowth:''' That’s right!

====''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' motto====
Jessie, James and Meowth recite this motto upon being caught by other Team Rocket members while trying to sneak into a Team Rocket's secret base thinking it were a farmhouse, where they could find something to eat.

:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble and a nice surprise!
:'''James:''' Make it double with an order of fries!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect our tummies from rumbling too much!
:'''James:''' To enjoy our meals with a gourmet touch!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of excessive hunger and thirst!
:'''James:''' To consume so much food, you’d think you might burst!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket blasts off in search of wonderful treats!
:'''James:''' Surrender now or prepare to fork over tons of your sweets!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth, yeah, let’s eat!

====''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'' motto====

====''[[EP240|Some Like it Hot]]'' motto====
Jessie, James and Meowth recite this motto as they steal [[Egan]]'s Poké Ball with his freshly caught {{p|Magcargo}}. For some reason they are dressed up as baseball players (maybe because Egan demands that they return his Poké ''Ball'').

:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble like a hot lava flow!
:'''James:''' And make it double or to the showers you'll go!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect our team from the volcano's wrath!
:'''James:''' We keep cool while you get a molten rock bath!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce truth and love from my very first pitch!
:'''James:''' Hit it out of the park, wouldn't that be a switch?
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Winding up, we prepare for a home run! Hah!
''Jessie throws a ball.''
:'''James:''' Keep your eye on the ball, here comes a hard one!
''James hits the ball. Meowth catches it and seems to have been struck.''
:'''Meowth (''crying''):''' I thought this was softball!

====Song version====
{{main|Team Rocket Forever}}

====Good version====
In ''[[The Power of One]]'', when Team Rocket decides to help Ash, they use a different version of their motto.

:'''Jessie:''' If that [[Ash Ketchum|kid]] thinks were here for trouble...
:'''James:''' ...we're certainly going to burst his bubble!
:'''Jessie:''' Instead of causing tribulation...
:'''James:''' ...we've undergone a transformation!
:'''Jessie:''' Though it's way outside our usual range...
:'''James:''' ...we're going to do something nice for a change!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Up till now Team Rocket's been quite unscrupulous!
:'''James:''' Being good good guys for once would be super-dupulous!
:'''Meowth:''' That's right!

===Battle Frontier===
During the [[Battle Frontier]] saga, Jessie, James, and Meowth changed their motto, likely to reflect the fact that the motto changed in the Japanese version at the start of the [[Advanced Generation series]]:

{| {{bluetable|background: white;}}
|- style="background: #ccf;"
! Japanese
! Translation
! English
|-
| '''ムサシ:''' なんだかんだと声がする || '''''Musashi:''' There is a voice saying something.'' || '''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble from beyond the skies!
|-
| '''コジロウ:''' 地平線の彼方から || '''''Kojirō:''' From beyond the horizon...'' || '''James:''' From beyond the stars, a nasty surprise!
|-
| '''ムサシ:''' ビッグバンの彼方から || '''''Musashi:''' From beyond the Big Bang...'' || '''Jessie:''' An evil as old as the galaxy...
|-
| '''コジロウ:''' 我らを呼んでる声がする || '''''Kojirō:''' A voice is calling us!'' || '''James:''' ...sent here to fulfill our destiny!
|-
| '''ニャース:''' お待たせにゃ || '''''Nyarth:''' Sorry to keep you waiting!'' || '''Meowth:''' Plus, there's me!
|-
| '''ムサシ:''' 健気に咲いた悪の花 || '''''Musashi:'''Evil flowers who have courageously bloomed!'' || '''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!
|-
| '''コジロウ:''' ハードでスイートな敵役 || '''''Kojirō:''' In the role of the villains who are hard and sweet!'' || '''James:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!
|-
| '''ムサシ:''' ムサシ || '''''Musashi:''' Musashi!'' || '''Jessie:''' Jessie!
|-
| '''コジロウ:''' コジロウ || '''''Kojirō:''' Kojirō!'' || '''James:''' And James!
|-
| '''ニャース:''' ニャースでニャース || '''''Nyarth:''' And Nyarth!'' || '''Meowth:''' And Meowth are the names!
|-
| '''ムサシ:''' ロケット団のあるところ || '''''Musashi:''' The place where Team Rocket is'' || '''Jessie:''' Anywhere there's peace in the universe...
|-
| '''コジロウ:''' 世界は || '''''Kojirō:''' The world-'' || '''James:''' Team Rocket...
|-
| '''ニャース:''' 宇宙は || '''''Nyarth:''' The universe-'' || '''Meowth:''' ...Will be there...
|-
| '''All:''' 君を待っている || '''''All:''' Awaits you!'' || '''All:''' To make everything worse!
|-
| '''ソーナンス:''' ソーナンス! || '''''Sonans:''' {{tt|Sōnansu!|Of course!}}'' || '''Wobbuffet:''' Wobbuffet!
|}

Since the first episode, they have adapted their traditional rhyming phrases "Prepare for trouble" and "Make it double" into the motto, thereby restoring the first two lines of the original motto. [[James's Chimecho]] and [[James's Mime Jr.]] also contribute their names at the end of the motto in most episodes they appear in.

===Sinnoh===
In [[Sinnoh]], the trio changed to a new motto yet again.

{| {{bluetable|background: white;}}
|- style="background: #ccf;"
! Japanese
! Translation
! English
|-
| '''ムサシ:''' なんだかんだの声を聞き || '''''Musashi:''' We hear voices saying this and that...'' || '''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a voice I hear?
|-
| '''コジロウ:''' 光の速さでやってきた || '''''Kojirō:''' We come along in a swift current of light...'' || '''James:''' It's speaking to me loud and clear.
|-
| '''ムサシ:''' 風よ || '''''Musashi:''' The wind!'' || '''Jessie:''' On the wind.
|-
| '''コジロウ:''' 大地よ || '''''Kojirō:''' The land!'' || '''James:''' Past the stars.
|-
| '''ニャース:''' 大空よ || '''''Nyarth:''' The sky!'' || '''Meowth:''' In your ear!
|-
| '''ムサシ:''' 世界に届けよう　デンジャラス || '''''Musashi:''' The danger we will deliver to the world!'' || '''Jessie:''' Bringing chaos at a breakneck pace.
|-
| '''コジロウ:''' 宇宙に伝えよう　クライシス || '''''Kojirō:''' The crisis we will convey to the universe!'' || '''James:''' Dashing hope, bringing fear in its place.
|-
| '''ムサシ:''' 天使か悪魔か　その名を呼べば || '''''Musashi:''' Whether angels or demons, if you call the name,'' || '''Jessie:''' A rose by any other name is just as sweet.
|-
| '''コジロウ:''' 誰もが震える魅惑の響き || '''''Kojirō:''' The captivating echo that shakes everyone...'' || '''James:''' When everything's worse, our work is complete.
|-
| '''ムサシ:''' ムサシ || '''''Musashi:''' Musashi!'' || '''Jessie:''' Jessie!
|-
| '''コジロウ:''' コジロウ || '''''Kojirō:''' Kojirō'' || '''James:''' James!
|-
| '''ニャース:''' ニャースでニャース || '''''Nyarth:''' And Nyarth! || '''Meowth:''' And Meowth, now dat's a name!
|-
| '''ムサシ:''' 時代の主役はあたしたち || '''''Musashi:''' The stars of the era are us!'' || '''Jessie:''' Putting the do-gooders in their place...
|-
| '''コジロウ:''' 我らは無敵の || '''''Kojirō:''' We are the invincible...'' || '''James:''' ...we're Team Rocket...
|-
| '''All:''' ロケット団 || '''''All:''' Team Rocket!'' || '''All:''' ...in your face!
|-
| '''ソーナンス:''' ソーナンス || '''''Sonans:''' {{tt|Sōnansu!|Of course!}}'' || '''Wobbuffet:''' Wobbuffet!
|}

They often replace the first two lines with
:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[twerp]]ish voice I hear?
:'''James:''' It's shrieking to me loud and clear.

:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[Nurse Joy|pitiful head]] of a [[Pokémon Center|Pokécenter]] I hear?
:'''James:''' It whines to me loud and clear.

or something similar. As in Battle Frontier, Mime Jr. contributes its name after Wobbuffet.

It is notable that the Sinnoh motto is modified more often even in the Japanese version.

====''[[DP063|Hot Springing a Leak!]]'' motto====
In this episode, Team Rocket steal water to build a hot spring, at the expense of [[Leona]]'s family's hot spring.

:'''Jessie:''' But we object, of course!
:'''James:''' You're twerps, consider the source.
:'''Jessie:''' On the wind,
:'''James:''' The stars,
:'''Meowth:''' The force!
:'''Jessie:''' Bringing chaos with a spring in our step,
:'''James:''' Dashing hope with vigor and pep!
:'''Jessie:''' A spring by any other name is just as hot!
:'''James:''' We need to relax. We want what you've got!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' Jolly James!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth's the name!
:'''Jessie:''' Putting me at ease and you in your place!
:'''James:''' We're Team Rocket...!
:'''All:''' In your face!
:'''Wobbuffet:''' Wobbuffet!
:'''Mime Jr.:''' Mime, mime, mime!

===Meowth filling in for Jessie or James===
In many occasions, because Jessie or James weren't around, Meowth would fill the missing member lines. This first happened in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', in which Meowth and James were following Misty to get some [[Salveyo Weed]] to heal Jessie from an attack by a wild {{p|Vileplume}}' {{m|Stun Spore}}. It happened again in ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]'' where Jessie was training Seviper, and James, Meowth and Wobbuffet tried to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]]. In ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', meanwhile Jessie was at an operation room, Meowth and James tried to steal some Pokémon. When Ash and his friend saw them, they said a special motto. Also, in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', while James was participating in the [[Pokémon Orienteering]] Contest, Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the prize and some Pokémon. When they were spotted by the twerps, they said their motto. Meanwhile they were saying that, Ash and his friend saved the Pokémon and the prize, leaving Jessie and Meowth really angry.

===Butch and Cassidy===
[[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] also have a set of mottos, which are similar to Jessie and James's mottos. During [[Pokémon Chronicles]], they add "(now) here's our mission, so ya better listen!" after Butch's first line of their version of the "original" motto. Like Meowth and Wobbuffet, [[Cassidy's Raticate]] appears at the end. Apparently, they have switched to a new motto, which is itself similar to Jessie and James's Sinnoh motto, with [[Butch's Shuckle]] appearing instead of Cassidy's Raticate.

====Original Motto====
{| {{bluetable|background: white;}}
|- style="background: #ccf;"
! Japanese
! Translation
! English
|-
| || || '''Cassidy:''' Prepare for trouble...
|-
| || || '''Butch:''' ...and make it double!
|-
| || || '''Cassidy:''' To infect the world with devastation!
|-
| || || '''Butch:''' To blight all peoples in every nation!
|-
| || || '''Cassidy:''' To denounce the goodness of truth and love!
|-
| || || '''Butch:''' To extend our wrath to the stars above!
|-
| || || '''Cassidy:''' Cassidy!
|-
| || || '''Butch:''' Butch!
|-
| || || '''Cassidy:''' Team Rocket circles the world at the speed of light!
|-
| || || '''Butch:''' Surrender now or you will surely lose the fight!
|}

====Sinnoh motto====

This is the version used in [[DP065|Sleight of Sand]]. Because of some of the lines included, it was probably composed especially for whenever the two Team Rocket groups crossed paths.

:'''Cassidy:''' A shrieking whine! A blast from the past!
:'''Butch:''' Spinning like a {{m|Gyro Ball}} and moving fast!
:'''Cassidy:''' To the moon...
:'''Butch:''' ...And beyond...
:'''Both:''' ...What a blast!
:'''Cassidy:''' Administering justice with lightning speed!
:'''Butch:''' Bashing the bad guys, should we feel the need.
:'''Cassidy:''' So here's a newsflash from across the wire...
:'''Butch:''' The real Team Rocket is now on fire!
:'''Cassidy:''' Cassidy!
:'''Butch:''' And it's Butch!
:'''Shuckle:''' Shuck-uckle!
:'''Cassidy:''' Teaching the losers a thing or two...
:'''Butch:''' ...The true Team Rocket...
:'''Both:''' Us! Not you!

[[Image:MistyDuplicaTR.png|thumb|right|...Ditto these two.]]
The motto has been ripped off repeatedly by Ash and his friends during the series. The first time it was done was in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', where Ash, Misty, and Brock, along with [[Duplica]], put on Team Rocket uniforms and mocked the original motto, with Duplica severely angering the two by saying "ignite" instead of "unite". The motto was mockingly mimicked again in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue!]]''. In ''[[EP264|The Mother Of All Battles!]]'', the [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers]] introduced themselves to Ash and the gang in a Team Rocket-style motto. However, there was no background music like in the Rocket's introduction, they only said their names with a big "B" behind them, but even though it was diferent, Jessie stated that they were just imitating them. Much later, the DP motto was mocked in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]'' and ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. Like the many times before, the trio was angered.
 
====Schpielbunk's motto====
In the episode ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'' the director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] introduces himself with a motto which is very similar to that of Team Rocket.

:Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!
:To protect the movies from devastation!
:To restore spectacle and imagination!
:To make greate epics of hate and love!
:To direct the best films you ever heard of!
:Cleavon Schpielbunk, winner of the Golden Growlithe for best director at the Flea Collar Film Festival!
:Lights! Camera!
:Hit your mark when I call "Action!" or prepare to fight!
:That's right!

====''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''====
In this episode Ash Ketchum breaks into a Team Rocket hideout to save a [[Ash's Chikorita|Chikorita]], captured by Jessie and James. He recites a motto and Team Rocket instinctively says their phrases.

:'''Ash:''' Team Rocket, prepare for trouble! On second thought, make that double!
:'''Jessie (''surprised''):''' To protect the world from devastation?
:'''James (''surprised''):''' To unite all peoples within our nation?
:'''Ash:''' Maybe you think I'm a little too brash. But the master is here and my name is Ash!
:'''Pikachu:''' Pikachu!
:'''Ash:''' My Pokémon team is faster than light! Surrender now or you're in for a fight!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth! That's right!

====''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]''====

:'''Dawn (''really angry''):''' Get ready for trouble!
:'''Pikachu (''really angry''):''' Pika!
:'''Brock (''really angry''):''' Make it double!
:'''James (''shocked''):''' Hey, no fair!

====''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''====

:'''Ash:''' Listen, is that a bad guy talk I hear?
:'''Dawn:''' It speaks to me loud and clear!
:'''Ash:''' On the wind!
:'''Dawn:''' Past the stars!
:'''Brock:''' In your ears!
:'''Jessie(''interrupting them''):''' It's that kind of imitation they invented lawsuits for!

===Blasting off===
When defeated, and flying off due to a Pokémon's attack or a malfunction in their mech, Jessie, James, and Meowth usually cry "We're blasting off again!" before disappearing into the distance with a star. This usually happens only once each episode, but there have been many occasions in which it has happened multiple times, especially in ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]'', where they are shown blasting off four times on screen, and heard to blast off many more times offscreen. Butch and Cassidy have also "blasted off", however, James noted once that he, Jessie, and Meowth had copyrighted it in ''[[AG159|Off The Unbeaten Path]]''.

==In the manga==
In the Pokémon Special manga, the "Rocket" in Team Rocket is apparently their motto, which is an acronym for:

:'''R'''aid
:'''O'''n
:'''C'''ity
:'''K'''nock out
:'''E'''vil
:'''T'''asks

Team Rocket motto

2008-07-15T13:09:19Z

Nebula:

The '''Team Rocket motto''' is a motto that [[Team Rocket]] members often recite and/or live by.

==In the anime==
[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} have several mottos, saying one of them in nearly every episode when they reveal themselves to [[Ash Ketchum]] and [[Ash's friends|his friends]]. Early on, they had an irresistible urge to say it whenever hearing the word "trouble", but this seemingly has been left to the past.

===Original motto===

|}

Since [[EP002|the episode Team Rocket was introduced in]], the duo has used rhyming "prepare for trouble" and "make it double" phrases. An example from ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]'', where Jessie was training {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and Meowth filled in for her, is:
:'''Meowth:''' Prepare for trouble, here in the wood...
:'''James:''' ... and make it double, like you know that you should!

Also, the lines "To denounce the evils of truth and love!" and "To extend our reach to the stars above!" were often said by both [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in the [[Pokémon: Indigo League|first season]].

There were many occasions in which they would use a radio or something else to play the background music.Also, in many later episodes, James said "fight, fight, fight" at the end of his last line. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} also began saying its name at the end of the motto in ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', and has done so in most episodes since.

It should also be noted that this version of the motto was used in commercials for [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]] with each line being said by different children, omitting the parts where Jessie, James and Meowth say their own names and the line "Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light."

====''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'' motto====
In this episode Team Rocket opens "Salon Roquet" and for this reason introduces itself with a special motto.

:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from boring fashion!
:'''James:''' To dress all people with flash and passion!
:'''Jessie:''' To give all Pokémon pretty faces!
:'''James:''' To extend our art to outer spaces!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Salon Roquet! When it comes to chic we know what's right!
:'''James:''' Surrender your taste or prepare to fight!

====''[[EP096|Meowth Rules!]]'' motto====
In this episode Meowth, being hit by [[Ash's Squirtle]]'s water gun, flies up and falls on an island where a strange tribe worshipping Meowth lives. Almost in the end of the episode when Meowth feels lonely and says he misses [[Jessie]] and [[James]], they both appear and recite a special version of their motto for Meowth. At the same time, the tribal priest and high priest beg Meowth to stay with the tribe.

:'''The priest:''' Great One, our people need you here!
:'''Jessie:''' I'm the one who needs you too!
:'''James:''' Make it double, we both need you!
:'''Jessie:''' You protect us both from desperation!
:'''James:''' You unite us all in jubilation!
:'''Jessie:''' You help chase away our loneliness!
:'''James:''' You're a mess, but we love you nevertheless!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket's friendship never ends!
:'''James:''' So let's set sail on our ship of friends!

====''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'' motto====
Since Jessie gets her hair cut short by a wild {{p|Scyther}} in this episode, [[Team Rocket]] recites a special motto.

:'''Jessie:''' You insult my hair? Prepare for trouble!
:'''James:''' It's used to be there but now it's stubble!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect my head from humiliation!
:'''James:''' Too bad her hair went on vacation!
:'''Jessie:''' My gorgeous hair was my one true love!
:'''James:''' They went together like a hand and glove!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Now my hair short but it won't be for long!
:'''James:''' And it won't stop our Jessie from doing what's wrong!
:'''Meowth:''' Hairy!

====''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'' motto====
Pretending to be baseball fans, Team Rocket recites the following motto upon stealing [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Casey's Chikorita]] (both were later freed).

:'''Jessie:''' Attention, [[twerp]]s, it's prepare-for-trouble day!
:'''James:''' But you're both out, what makes it a double play!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect our team from devastation!
:'''James:''' To excite our side with a big ovation!
:'''Jessie:''' To strike out the evils of truth and love!
:'''James:''' To extend our reach with a baseball glove!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket throws their fastballs at the speed of light!
''James catches a ball thrown by Jessie''
:'''Meowth:''' Strike Three!
''Jessie and James throw themselves into each other's arms''
:'''James:''' We won, Jessie!
:'''Jessie:''' James!
:'''James:''' Jessie!
:'''Meowth (''with tears in his face''):''' That's... right!

====''[[EP123|Spinarak Attack]]'' motto====

:'''James:''' We've got the prize, so make it double!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from its own greed!
:'''James:''' To steal all the treasure that they don't need!
:'''Jessie:''' To work every heist like there are none other!
:'''James:''' And split the spoils with one another!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Thieves return under cover of night!
:'''James:''' Surrender now or prepare to fight!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth! That's right!

====''[[EP158|The Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' motto====
This motto was recited by Jessie and James after they had confused some wares at a food store with free samples and had been caught by a saleswoman.

:'''Jessie:''' Now you're in for a bunch of trouble!
:'''James:''' We're eating lunch, so make it double!
:'''Jessie:''' To eat and drink to our hearts' content!
:'''James:''' Without even having to spend a single cent!
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of paying for food!
:'''James:''' We won't leave a single sample unchewed!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket loves scarfing down free samples at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' Yes, and we like to eat even more than we like to fight!
:'''Meowth:''' You got that right!

This episode is also notable due to the fact that Team Rocket did not shout out their usual "blasting off" phrase in it, even before disappearing in the [[Magnet Train|Magnet Train tunnel]] although the shining star did appear.

====''[[EP165|Hassle in the Castle]]'' motto====
In this episode Team Rocket breaks into a castle that later appeared to be a hospital, where Pokémon were used to treat people. Upon stealing some food from the dining room and trying to get away, Team Rocket was caught by [[Dr. Anna]] and Brock.

:'''Jessie:''' We have no appointment, but we've been having some trouble!
:'''James:''' So prescribe us some ointment on the double!

:'''Jessie:''' To irradicate the evils of athlete's feet!
:'''James:''' Maybe I can get rid of my prickly heat!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket's been scratching at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' So give us some salve or we'll never sleep tonight!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth, that's right.

====''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'' motto====
In this episode Jessie and James enter a Pokémon Beauty Contest, pretending not to be members of team Rocket (they even forbid Meowth to talk). Because they want to be the first to show their Pokémon in order to make a better impression on the judges, they lock up the first contestant and appear on the stage instead of him. A small delay happens due to this.

:'''Jessie:''' Sorry we're late, it takes a while...
:'''James:''' ...to give our Pokémon flare and style!
:'''Jessie:''' We hope our Pokémon will amaze all of you!
:'''James:''' We're giving each one a look that's brand new!
:'''Jessie:''' We're creating a trend and it's gonna be big!
:'''James (''combing a wig on Jessie's Wobbuffet''):''' And this doesn't even look like a wig!
:'''Jessie:''' We two aren't fakers!
:'''James:''' We're style makers!
:'''Jessie:''' We're cutting and curling at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' Put yourself in our hands and we'll make you look right, right, right!
:'''Wobbuffet:''' Wobbuffet!

====''[[EP175|Trouble With Snubbull]]'' motto====
In this episode Team Rocket tries to catch [[Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull]] in order to return it to her and receive a reward, which they suppose to be quite large.

:'''Jessie:''' Prepare to say good-bye to all of our trouble!

:'''Jessie:''' To protect ourselves from being poor!
:'''James:''' When we get enough, we'll still get more!
:'''Jessie:''' We'll capture Snubbull and return it to its rich owner and get a big reward!
:'''James:''' Then there won't be anything we can't afford!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket likes blasting off at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' But catching that Snubbull and getting that reward would be a delight!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth! That's right!

====''[[EP196|Control Freak!]]'' motto====
Jessie and James recite this motto after Jessie obtains ancient mask and the staff that can be used to control any Pokémon without catching it.

:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for the worst trouble you've ever seen!
:'''James:''' With the staff and the mask Jessie's the queen!
:'''Jessie:''' I'll rule the world with power and might!
:'''James:''' She'll capture Pokémon without a fight!
:'''Jessie:''' A queen, whose subjects must all kneel down before me!
:'''James:''' Yeah... But... I'll just kneel on one knee.
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie, Her Royal Highness!
:'''James:''' James, her lowly... Hey, wait a second!
:'''Jessie:''' Queen Jessie ruling all with power and might!
:'''James (''desperately''):''' You'd better surrender or she'll go on like this all night!

====''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'' motto====
In this episode, Team Rocket steals the Crystal Bells, and they use a different version of their motto.

:'''James:''' We'll ring across the land!
:'''Jessie:''' And then, when {{p|Ho-Oh}} reappears,
:'''James:''' We will quickly switch gears!
:'''Jessie:''' Because, together we will show,
:'''James:''' That we can beat old Ho-Oh!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket! Ringing at the speed of light!
:'''James:''' Our Crystal Bells pack a mighty fight, fight, fight!
:'''Wobbuffet:''' Wobbuffet!

====''[[EP240|Some Like it Hot]]'' motto====
Jessie, James and Meowth recite this motto as they steal [[Egan]]'s Poké Ball with his freshly caught {{p|Magcargo}}. For some reason they are dressed up as baseball players (maybe because Egan demands that they return his Poké ''Ball'').

:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble like a hot lava flow!
:'''James:''' And make it double or to the showers you'll go!
:'''Jessie:''' To protect our team from the volcano's wrath!
:'''James:''' We keep cool while you get a molten rock bath!

:'''James:''' Hit it out of the park, wouldn't that be a switch?
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Winding up, we prepare for a home run! Hah!
''Jessie throws a ball.''
:'''James:''' Keep your eye on the ball, here comes a hard one!
''James hits the ball. Meowth catches it and seems to have been struck.''
:'''Meowth (''crying''):''' I thought this was softball!

====Song version====
{{main|Team Rocket Forever}}

====Good version====
In ''[[The Power of One]]'', when Team Rocket decides to help Ash, they use a different version of their motto.

:'''Jessie:''' If that [[Ash Ketchum|kid]] thinks were here for trouble...
:'''James:''' ...we're certainly going to burst his bubble!
:'''Jessie:''' Instead of causing tribulation...
:'''James:''' ...we've undergone a transformation!
:'''Jessie:''' Though it's way outside our usual range...
:'''James:''' ...we're going to do something nice for a change!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' James!
:'''Jessie:''' Up till now Team Rocket's been quite unscrupulous!
:'''James:''' Being good good guys for once would be super-dupulous!
:'''Meowth:''' That's right!

====Butch and Cassidy====
[[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] also have a motto, which is similar to Jessie and James's original motto. During [[Pokémon Chronicles]], they add "(now) here's our mission, so ya better listen!" after Butch's first line. Like Meowth and Wobbuffet, [[Cassidy's Raticate]] often pops out at the end. Apparently, they have switched to a new motto, which is itself similar to Jessie and James's Sinnoh motto.

===Battle Frontier===
During the [[Battle Frontier]] saga, Jessie, James, and Meowth changed their motto, likely to reflect the fact that the motto changed in the Japanese version at the start of the [[Advanced Generation series]]:

{| {{bluetable|background: white;}}

Since the first episode, they have adapted their traditional rhyming phrases "Prepare for trouble" and "Make it double" into the motto, thereby restoring the first two lines of the original motto. [[James's Chimecho]] and [[James's Mime Jr.]] also contribute their names at the end of the motto in most episodes they appear in.

===Sinnoh===
In [[Sinnoh]], the trio changed to a new motto yet again.

They often replace the first two lines with
:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[twerp]]ish voice I hear?
:'''James:''' It's shrieking to me loud and clear.

:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[Nurse Joy|pitiful head]] of a [[Pokémon Center|Pokécenter]] I hear?
:'''James:''' It whines to me loud and clear.

or something similar. As in Battle Frontier, Mime Jr. contributes its name after Wobbuffet.

It is notable that the Sinnoh motto is modified more often even in the Japanese version.

====''[[DP063|Hot Springing a Leak!]]'' motto====
In this episode, Team Rocket steal water to build a hot spring, at the expense of [[Leona]]'s family's hot spring.

:'''Jessie:''' But we object, of course!
:'''James:''' You're twerps, consider the source.
:'''Jessie:''' On the wind,
:'''James:''' The stars,
:'''Meowth:''' The force!
:'''Jessie:''' Bringing chaos with a spring in our step,
:'''James:''' Dashing hope with vigor and pep!
:'''Jessie:''' A spring by any other name is just as hot!
:'''James:''' We need to relax. We want what you've got!
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!
:'''James:''' Jolly James!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth's the name!
:'''Jessie:''' Putting me at ease and you in your place!
:'''James:''' We're Team Rocket...!
:'''All:''' In your face!
:'''Wobbuffet:''' Wobbuffet!
:'''Mime Jr.:''' Mime, mime, mime!

===Meowth filling in for Jessie or James===
In many occasions, because Jessie or James weren't around, Meowth would fill the missing member lines. This first happened in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', in which Meowth and James were following Misty to get some [[Salveyo Weed]] to heal Jessie from an attack by a wild {{p|Vileplume}}' {{m|Stun Spore}}. It happened again in ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]'' where Jessie was training Seviper, and James, Meowth and Wobbuffet tried to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]]. In ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', meanwhile Jessie was at an operation room, Meowth and James tried to steal some Pokémon. When Ash and his friend saw them, they said a special motto. Also, in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', while James was participating in the [[Pokémon Orienteering]] Contest, Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the prize and some Pokémon. When they were spotted by the twerps, they said their motto. Meanwhile they were saying that, Ash and his friend saved the Pokémon and the prize, leaving Jessie and Meowth really angry.

===Ripoffs===
[[Image:AshBrockTR.png|thumb|left|Copycats...]]
[[Image:MistyDuplicaTR.png|thumb|right|...Ditto these two.]]
The motto has been ripped off repeatedly by Ash and his friends during the series. The first time it was done was in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', where Ash, Misty, and Brock, along with [[Duplica]], put on Team Rocket uniforms and mocked the original motto, with Duplica severely angering the two by saying "ignite" instead of "unite". The motto was mockingly mimicked again in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue!]]''. In ''[[EP264|The Mother Of All Battles!]]'', the [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers]] introduced themselves to Ash and the gang in a Team Rocket-style motto. However, there was no background music like in the Rocket's introduction, they only said their names with a big "B" behind them, but even though it was diferent, Jessie stated that they were just imitating them. Much later, the DP motto was mocked in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]'' and ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. Like the many times before, the trio was angered.
 
====Schpielbunk's motto====
In the episode ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'' the director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] introduces himself with a motto which is very similar to that of Team Rocket.

:Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!
:To protect the movies from devastation!
:To restore spectacle and imagination!
:To make greate epics of hate and love!
:To direct the best films you ever heard of!
:Cleavon Schpielbunk, winner of the Golden Growlithe for best director at the Flea Collar Film Festival!
:Lights! Camera!
:Hit your mark when I call "Action!" or prepare to fight!
:That's right!

====''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''====
In this episode Ash Ketchum breaks into a Team Rocket hideout to save a [[Ash's Chikorita|Chikorita]], captured by Jessie and James. He recites a motto and Team Rocket instinctively says their phrases.

:'''Ash:''' Team Rocket, prepare for trouble! On second thought, make that double!
:'''Jessie (''surprised''):''' To protect the world from devastation?
:'''James (''surprised''):''' To unite all peoples within our nation?
:'''Ash:''' Maybe you think I'm a little too brash. But the master is here and my name is Ash!
:'''Pikachu:''' Pikachu!
:'''Ash:''' My Pokémon team is faster than light! Surrender now or you're in for a fight!
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth! That's right!

====''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]''====

:'''Dawn (''really angry''):''' Get ready for trouble!
:'''Pikachu (''really angry''):''' Pika!
:'''Brock (''really angry''):''' Make it double!
:'''James (''shocked''):''' Hey, no fair!

====''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''====

:'''Ash:''' Listen, is that a bad guy talk I hear?
:'''Dawn:''' It speaks to me loud and clear!
:'''Ash:''' On the wind!
:'''Dawn:''' Past the stars!
:'''Brock:''' In your ears!
:'''Jessie(''interrupting them''):''' It's that kind of imitation they invented lawsuits for!

====''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand]]''====

In this episode, Jessie and James's main rivals Cassidy and Butch return. Like their previous appearances when they had a modified version of the "original" Team Rocket mottos, they come with their own. Due to some of the lines included, it is possible that it was composed just for the occasion.

:'''Cassidy:''' A shrieking whine! A blast from the past!
:'''Butch:''' Spinning like a {{m|Gyro Ball}} and moving fast!
:'''Cassidy:''' To the moon...
:'''Butch:''' ...And beyond...
:'''Both:''' ...What a blast!
:'''Cassidy:''' Administering justice with lightning speed!
:'''Butch:''' Bashing the bad guys, should we feel the need.
:'''Cassidy:''' So here's a newsflash from across the wire...
:'''Butch:''' The real Team Rocket is now on fire!
:'''Cassidy:''' Cassidy!
:'''Butch:''' And it's Butch!
:'''Shuckle:''' Shuck-uckle!
:'''Cassidy:''' Teaching the losers a thing or two...
:'''Butch:''' ...The true Team Rocket...
:'''Both:''' Us! Not you!

===Blasting off===
When defeated, and flying off due to a Pokémon's attack or a malfunction in their mech, Jessie, James, and Meowth usually cry "We're blasting off again!" before disappearing into the distance with a star. This usually happens only once each episode, but there have been many occasions in which it has happened multiple times, especially in ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]'', where they are shown blasting off four times on screen, and heard to blast off many more times offscreen. Butch and Cassidy have also "blasted off", however, James noted once that he, Jessie, and Meowth had copyrighted it in ''[[AG159|Off The Unbeaten Path]]''.

==In the manga==
In the Pokémon Special manga, the "Rocket" in Team Rocket is apparently their motto, which is an acronym for:

:'''R'''aid
:'''O'''n
:'''C'''ity
:'''K'''nock out
:'''E'''vil
:'''T'''asks

::::::::Because Aggron's base stats don't total 600. - [[User:Nebula|Nebula]] 15:45, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

== Real definition for psuedo-legendary ==

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

== Pseudo-legendary --> Powerhouse ==

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

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

It amazes me that everyone assumed that the definition was acceptable simply because someone had put it forth. Bulbapedia encourages critical thinking and sets virtually no limits on the users' capacity to edit existing pages. Why was I the only one who had the fortitude to replace the previous definition with one that is actually used by the fandom? --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 16:47, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
:Mudkipchan apparently heard pseudo-legendary on Smogon, and I've heard pseudo-legendary on several websites, so I think it should be moved back. I agree, though, that the definition needed some work. But why remove Flygon? Its stats are slightly lower, but base stats shouldn't be included in the definition. Other than base stats, Flygon is in every way a pseudo-legendary. [[Image:Ani164MS.gif]][[User:Shiny Noctowl|S<big>h</big>i<big>n</big>y]] [[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|<big>N</big>o<big>c</big>t<big>o</big>w<big>l</big>]]  13:57, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

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

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

I agree with Shiny, Pseudo-Legendary makes more sense. I.E. My Snorlax is a powerhouse, but it isn't a pseudo-legendary. My Flygon is not my powerhouse, yet it is a pseudo-legendary. Catch my drift? [[Image:Ani197MS.gif]][[User:Midnight Celtic|Midnight Celtic]][[Image:Ani148MS.gif]] 15:28, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
:Psudo legendary should be used. But the only pokemon that should meet this criteria are those 3 stage evos with a base stat of 600. Slaking is questionable, but I would say no to it, as well as flygon. [[User:The Placebo Effect|The Placebo Effect]] 01:08, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

absolutly, my old car was nicknamed "the powerhouse" but it was definatly not a pokemon! that being said, "powerhouse" is a general term, it sounds more like a metagame term than a true definition. i could load a powerful pokemon with powerful attacks, and ive got a powerhouse, but a psuedo-legendary means its special in some way, and what you are trying to appeal here is to somone whos never jheard the term before, and they will almost understand what psuedo-legendary just by the sound, where as a powerhouse requires an explanation.

:I agree, powerhouse is too broad a term for these Pokémon. Pseudo-legendary fits the bill better. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]{{ani|155|Fire echy}}[[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 05:57, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

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

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

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

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

:Powerhouse. Not pseudo-legendary. There's a difference: Porygon-Z's a powerhouse, Alakazam's a powerhouse. Their base stats in Special Attack are higher than the base stats of any other non-legendary's Attack or Special Attack, but they aren't pseudo-legendary. They aren't the final forms of end-of-dex Pokémon, they're just final forms of Pokémon that do really well in Special Attack.

== 600 stat point total a requirement? ==

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

Phenac Stadium

2008-06-19T18:04:13Z

Nebula:

'''Phenac Stadium''' is the colosseum in [[Phenac City]], which is located in the [[Orre]] region. It appears in [[Pokémon Colosseum]], as well as [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. However, there is no Colosseum Challenge in the second game.

=Pokémon Colosseum=
Phenac Stadium is the first Colosseum [[Wes]] encounters. Although, he cannot enter at the time because Shadow Pokémon are not permitted. At this time in the story, Wes only has Umbreon, Espeon, and Shadow Pokémon.
==Story Mode==
All story mode Colosseum challenges are conducted in Double Battle format.

Venus

2008-06-14T23:05:23Z

Nebula:

[[Image:CIPHERVENUS.JPG|frame|A picture of Venus from an adaptation of Pokémon Colosseum.]]

'''Venus''' (Japanese: '''ヴィーナス''' ''Venus'') is one of the original four [[Cipher]] Admins. A beautiful woman who considers herself a pop idol and diva, she's dressed in layers of pink silk and carries a crescent moon on her back. She's obsessed with being popular and attractive.

In battle, Venus' favorite strategy is to use {{m|Attract}} and layer other status effects to impair a Pokémon's ability to attack or defend itself.

Her name is taken directly from the Roman goddess of love, [[wp:Venus (mythology)|Venus]].

==In [[Pokémon Colosseum]]==
Venus ruled over [[the Under]] in [[Orre]]. She soared to the heights of fame via a television show called "Under Time". Her catchphrase, "I'm your Venus!" made her a household name throughout the underground town. Venus soon became known as "Lady Venus". Most loved her, although a few of the depth dwellers were annoyed with her shameless self-promotion and vanity.

Venus used [[the Under Subway]] to transport [[Shadow Pokémon]] from the [[Shadow Pokémon Laboratory]] via train to the Under. She then distributed some of the Shadow Pokémon in the [[Under Colosseum]] and passed the rest on to [[Miror B.]]

Venus was one of the Cipher Admins who had a Shadow version of a [[Legendary Pokémon]]: {{p|Suicune}}. Suicune is replaced by {{p|Milotic}} after you snag it.

After Miror B. was defeated by [[Wes]], the young ex-criminal used the elevator in [[Miror B.'s Hideout]] to gain access to the Under. Venus, hearing about the defeat of her colleague, used her television program to control the citizens with propaganda. She informed the people of the Under that a spy had invaded, and to capture him on sight.

The inhabitants of the Under, however, failed to recognize Wes and [[Rui]] as spies - thinking that they were members of the Under themselves.

However, [[Silva]] arrived in the Under, following the trail left by Cipher. He was immediately captured and locked up.

Wes stormed the Under's TV Studio and confronted Venus on live television. Venus was defeated and she fled into the Under Subway. She lured Wes and Rui into Cipher's train, the Shadow Liner, and made an escape while the two young heroes were distracted. Unfortunately for her, she dropped the key to the Shadow Liner while she was running.

Venus didn't reappear until [[Realgam Tower]] was completed. The pink diva had one of the keys needed to unlock the tower itself, and guarded it in the maze that surrounded the tower. She once again was defeated by Wes, and surrendered the Blue ID Card to him.

After Cipher and [[Team Snagem]] were taken down, Lady Venus still appeared as an opponent in the [[Deep Colosseum]].

== Sleep Talk in Generation III ==

"Sleep Talk can only be used while the user is asleep. It will fail if the user is not. Sleep Talk will randomly choose one of the user's moves, other than Sleep Talk. '''This also means that it's possible for Sleep Talk to choose the move Rest, although the user is already asleep.'''"
This implies that the user will restore their HP even though they are already asleep. This was the case in Generation II (and it was annoying, I'll tell you) but in Gen III, using Rest via Sleep Talk failed, although the user would try. The message that would appear on the screen was something along the lines of "(Pokémon name) is already asleep!". So yeah, you might want to elaborate on that. --[[User:Nebula|Nebula]] 00:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Could the "Alt" in Altaria's name possibly refer to the word "altitude", as in a high altitude. It does make sense, being a Flying-type. -- [[User:Nebula|Nebula]] 00:24, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

'''Altaria''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: チルタリス ''Tyltalis'') is a {{2t|Dragon|Flying}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
==Physiology==

Altaria resembles a large blue phoenix with some feminine traits. The feathers of its main body make it resemble a cumulus cloud and two long blue feathers extend from the back of its head, and its two cloud-like wings aren't exactly wings but they function just the same. It can also wrap them around its body to keep itself warm.

===Gender differences===
None.

===Special abilities===

An Altaria carries a refined set of vocal chords that allow it to sing in a beautiful soprano voice that causes its listeners to experience dreamy content.

Its possible that an Altaria may carry a flame sac within its body, similar to {{p|Torchic}}, which it uses to launch intensely hot fireballs from its mouth in self defense from attackers.

As of Generation IV, Altaria is one of three non-legendary Pokémon that can learn {{m|Sky Attack}} naturally, the other non-legenedaries being {{P|Noctowl}} and {{P|Togekiss}}.

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Altaria seem to live in secluded areas far from human population such as mountainous regions (contrary to {{p|Swablu}} which live near human settlements) and even sometimes melodious singing, believed to be a singing Altaria, can be heard from far off mountains. Another example of its distance from humans is the fact that the only place where an Altaria can be caught in the wild is in the [[Sky Pillar]]. Some Altaria are shown to reside in [[Forina|Forina valley]][[Jirachi: Wishmaker|*]], and many of them are also shown to reside within the [[Tree of Beginning]][[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|*]]. Both locations are also far from human population.

Also during winter they migrate to caverns inside mountains[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|*]].

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
[[Image:Altaria anime.PNG|right|thumb|[[Winona|Winona's]] Altaria]]
Altaria first appeared in ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. It was one of the Pokémon that lived in [[Forina]], {{p|Jirachi}}'s home.

There were some Altaria in the flock that an injured {{p|Swablu}} belonged to in ''[[AG064|True Blue Swablu]]''.

Altaria's first major role was in ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle]]''. [[Ash's Grovyle]] battled against one in [[Ash]]'s gym battle against [[Winona]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Fortree Gym]].

An Altaria belonging to [[Drake (Elite Four)|Drake]] of the [[Hoenn]] [[Elite Four]] appeared in ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]'' where it battled against [[Ash's Sceptile|Ash's Grovyle]].

Altaria's name is a combination of the words ''[[wp:alto (voice)|alto]]'', [[wp:Italian (language)|Italian]] for high, and ''[[wp:aria|aria]]'', Italian for air, which both refer to this Pokémon's behavior of singing wonderful melodies. Its Japanese name may refer to ''[[wp:Tyl (star)|Tyl]]'', also known as Epsilon Draconis, a star in the [[wp:Draco (constellation)|Draco constellation]].

Move Tutor

2008-02-20T00:32:05Z

Nebula:

A '''move tutor''' (Japanese: '''わざおしえ人''' ''Person that teaches moves'') will teach a [[Pokémon]] [[moves]] that are not normally teachable through [[level]] up, [[TM]]s, or [[HM]]s. Move tutors are found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Orre]], and [[Sinnoh]]. They are not to be confused with [[Move relearner|move relearners]].

==Johto Move Tutors==
In [[Pokémon Crystal]], an elderly fellow visits [[Goldenrod City]]'s [[Goldenrod Game Corner|Game Corner]] every Wednesday and Saturday after the player has become [[League Champion]]. He teaches three different moves, two of which were [[TM]]s in [[Generation I]] and returned to that status in [[Generation III]], and one of which later became a TM with the other two.

==Kanto/Sevii Move Tutors==

These move tutors are in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed and LeafGreen versions]]. They do not appear in [[Generation I|older versions]] for the [[Game Boy]] system.

===Normal move tutors===
These tutors will teach a Pokémon a move otherwise unobtainable with the current, [[Generation III]] [[TM]] list. Many of the NPCs which gave a TM containing a move in [[Generation I]] that is no longer available in TM form in the current generation will directly teach the move they would have given instead. These can only be taught once.

===Special move tutors===
A woman at Boon Island's [[Cape Brink]] will teach one move to the player's starting Pokémon. She will teach {{m|Frenzy Plant}} to {{p|Venusaur}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}} to {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{m|Blast Burn}} to {{p|Charizard}}. The moves can only be taught to Venusaur, Blastoise or Charizard and the Pokémon learning the move must have maximum [[happiness]].

== Sinnoh Move Tutors ==
===Diamond/Pearl===
There are two Move Tutors in Sinnoh - one on Route 228 and one on Route 210. The move tutor on Route 210 teaches {{m|Draco Meteor}} to a Dragon-type Pokémon which has had its [[happiness]] maximised. Similar to the Cape Brink move tutor in Fire Red and Leaf Green, the Route 228 Move Tutor will teach one of the elemental versions of {{m|Hyper Beam}} to a fully-evolved starter with maximum happiness. Unlike the Cape Brink tutor, it can be any of the twelve [[starter Pokémon]], but the move's type will always correspond with the Pokémon's primary type.

Nebula: New section: Rock Smash and Flash

Greengiant, I put the games for a reason so people would know what games they are in. Yes I know they can click on the Gen links but trust me it looked better the way I had it. Thanks for linking the moves, though. Also, you didn't need to get rid of the Move Tutors link I had. Don't overedit.[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 00:56, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Chris, with all due respect, I don't believe he's overediting. The names of the games are redundant with respect to what generation they're found in. So long as you link to the generation, a user can figure out the games in it. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 01:18, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I think I know what you're saying with how the differences between FireRed and LeafGreen can confuse things so you wanted to clarify. I didn't notice that before, but I think now that there might be a simpler way to say it, I'm just not sure how. I also didn't mean to remove the Move Tutors link, sorry about that. -[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]]

Just a thought - perhaps, for organizational purposes, we should turn the three lists into one big chart? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 19:47, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

== TM Pages ==
For TMs that have not changed their move from generation to generation, I've begun changing the articles, since they aren't really referential to the move itself. The current format is ''TMs vary between generations. However, TMXX is (move) in every generation to date.'' -- I have switched this to ''TMXX has contained the move (MOVE) in every generation to date.'', because I feel the note that TMs vary between generations is both superfluous and misleading if the TM in question hasn't varied between generations. That statement would be better suited for this article. [[User:Evkl|evkl]] 18:35, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

== Rock Smash and Flash ==

In the trivia section, is it worth noting that these moves have been both TM and HM moves at some point? -- [[User:Nebula|Nebula]] 00:18, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Nebula:

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial '''B''' (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

Thank you, and have a good time editing here!{{:User:Theryguy512/Sig}} 19:44, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Nebula here! While I don't technically have any affiliation with any Pokémon site, I am most often found at Serebii and Bulbagarden, as well as a handful of non-Pokémon sites.

I happily battle at any tier and have no preferences as to which Pokémon I use, but seem to find myself using [[Fire_(type)|Fire]], [[Ground_(type)|Ground]] and/or [[Dark (type)|Dark]] types most often. If you ask really nicely, I might give you my friend code. Don't expect much of a challenge though.

I am a specialist in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III|III]], with some knowledge about Generations [[Generation I|I]] and [[Generation IV|IV]].

I am also and RPer and in one Pokémon RP, my character (Dave) specialises in [[Poison (type)|Poison]] types, along with snake-like Pokémon such as [[Onix (Pokémon)|Onix]] and [[Dratini (Pokémon)| Dratini]]. His team is currently:

== Real definition for psuedo-legendary ==

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

== Pseudo-legendary --> Powerhouse ==

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

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

It amazes me that everyone assumed that the definition was acceptable simply because someone had put it forth. Bulbapedia encourages critical thinking and sets virtually no limits on the users' capacity to edit existing pages. Why was I the only one who had the fortitude to replace the previous definition with one that is actually used by the fandom? --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 16:47, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
:Mudkipchan apparently heard pseudo-legendary on Smogon, and I've heard pseudo-legendary on several websites, so I think it should be moved back. I agree, though, that the definition needed some work. But why remove Flygon? Its stats are slightly lower, but base stats shouldn't be included in the definition. Other than base stats, Flygon is in every way a pseudo-legendary. [[Image:Ani164MS.gif]][[User:Shiny Noctowl|S<big>h</big>i<big>n</big>y]] [[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|<big>N</big>o<big>c</big>t<big>o</big>w<big>l</big>]]  13:57, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

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

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

I agree with Shiny, Pseudo-Legendary makes more sense. I.E. My Snorlax is a powerhouse, but it isn't a pseudo-legendary. My Flygon is not my powerhouse, yet it is a pseudo-legendary. Catch my drift?

What's the point in a defenition if it doesn't explain clearly the subject? [[User:GlinnMgraw|Glinn]][[Image:Ani202MS.gif|32px]] 03:44, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

absolutly, my old car was nicknamed "the powerhouse" but it was definatly not a pokemon! that being said, "powerhouse" is a general term, it sounds more like a metagame term than a true definition. i could load a powerful pokemon with powerful attacks, and ive got a powerhouse, but a psuedo-legendary means its special in some way, and what you are trying to appeal here is to somone whos never jheard the term before, and they will almost understand what psuedo-legendary just by the sound, where as a powerhouse requires an explanation. {{:User:MAGNEDETH/Sig}} 04:00, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
:I agree, powerhouse is too broad a term for these Pokémon. Pseudo-legendary fits the bill better. {{:User:TTEchidna/sig}} 05:57, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

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

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

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

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

:Powerhouse. Not pseudo-legendary. There's a difference: Porygon-Z's a powerhouse, Alakazam's a powerhouse. Their base stats in Special Attack are higher than the base stats of any other non-legendary's Attack or Special Attack, but they aren't pseudo-legendary.

I used to run a seperate Pokémon RP on a forum called "Cloud Nine", before the admin closed it. The RP was moved to another forum until that flopped. It now has a home on the same forum as the RP with Dave. Since my RP's set in Sinnoh and the other one's set in Johto, the two are able to run seperately.

Ash's Tauros

[[Image:Ash Tauros.JPG|left|thumb|Ash and one of his Tauros after winning a match]]
'''Ash's Tauros''' (Japanese: '''サトシのケンタロス''' ''Satoshi's Kentaros'')- 30 of them -were caught during [[Ash Ketchum]]'s travels in the [[Kanto]] region. Their voice actor in both Japanese and English is 小西克幸 ''[[Katsuyuki Konishi]]''.

Ash spent some time in the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] in the episode ''[[EP035|The Legend of Dratini]]''. He was attempting to [[captured Pokémon|catch]] as many [[Pokémon]] as possible, though all he ended up with were 30 Tauros. As Ash had six Pokémon with him at the time, they were sent to [[Professor Oak]]'s laboratory. This episode has never been aired outside of Japan due to the firearms being a plot point. The dub provides no explanation for their appearance.

The Tauros' main characteristic is stampeding. This means that the lab is a good place for them, as there is plenty of space to run around. They have proved useful at the laboratory, stampeding to wake up [[Ash's Snorlax]] in times of crisis. However, the stampeding has caused mishaps. The first time Ash returned to [[Pallet Town]], they stampeded through a fence. Later, they stampeded through the lab, leaving a mess and a large hole in the wall.

Ash primarily uses and trains one specific Tauros, beginning when he needed a replacement for Snorlax for his battle for the Winner's Cup of the [[Orange League]] in ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'' and ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]''. He traded Snorlax for one of his Tauros to see if the "beginner's luck" strategy would work. This Tauros managed to defeat a {{p|Venusaur}} on his own during the battle. He then stayed in his [[Poké Ball]] until Ash returned him to the herd when he returned to Pallet Town.

The Tauros was used in early [[Johto]] during the Pokémon Swap Meet. One of the events was a Tauros-battling competition, which Ash entered. He ended up winning the competition, but sent Tauros back to Professor Oak in the next episode.

On Ash's return from [[Hoenn]], the Tauros were seen running towards him with his other Pokémon. However, they were just stampeding as usual, and Ash had to be rescued before he could be reunited with the other Pokémon. He did finally use one again when he challenged the [[Battle Frontier#Battle Tower|Battle Tower]] in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game]]'' and ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm]]'', which is when he defeated [[Anabel]]'s Metagross.

==Trivia==
*'''Brock's Tauros?''' - [[Brock]] caught a Tauros at the same time that Ash caught his first Tauros. Because of this, some believe that Brock should own a Tauros, and the writers forgot about it in subsequent episodes. However, he caught it using one of Ash's Safari Balls, and therefore it is one of the 30 belonging to Ash.
*Tauros is the one first confirmed male Pokémon to be caught by a main character. Later on, [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Dawn's Buizel]] have been confirmed to be male, while [[Brock's Happiny]] has been confimed to be female. [[Ash's Butterfree]], [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]], [[Ash's Heracross|Heracross]] and [[Ash's Sceptile]] have evidence they are male, while [[Ash's Aipom]] and [[Dawn's Buneary]] have evidence they are female, though it is hard to confirm at this time.

Nebula: /* Ash Loses to Gym Leaders */

== Ash's Pokemon in the Manga ==
Should we add Ash's pokemon from the manga because he does have a few different pokemon than he does in the anime. (Such as Fearow & Oddish).

==Actors==

Should we have pages for the voice actors? I have quite a bit of info on Veronica Taylor for one. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 22:57, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Should I add the LatinAmerican voice actors? --[[User:NIDOKING|NIDOKING]] 21:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

==Hoenn Ash?==

Should a picture of Ash in his AG Clothing be somewhere in this article (does the Battle Frontier one count?)? - [[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 00:14, 08 Aug 2006
*Yeah, his Battle Frontier and Hoenn outfits are the same. [[User:Matty|Matty]] 14:34, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
*Is there something wrong with this wiki, or is it just my comp? Because this entire wiki doesn't seem to have any pictures. The labels and names are there, but the pictures don't show up. What's wrong? [[User:Pokemon Master Nick|Pokemon Master Nick]] 17:36, 16 December 2006

== Ash & Me ==

Ash and me go all the way back.

He's my main man, and my homie. [[User:RocketM|RocketM]]

== Family ==

Who are Kotoko Marumatsu and Sam?
: Apparently, characters from [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=&user=&page=Mewtwo+Series some manga] [[User:The Blacksmith|only one user]] knows about. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 01:55, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

== Ash, a Pokemon Coordinator?? ==
Omigosh, Ash totally enters a contest in [[DP011]], does it mean he will like totally continue doing contests? If he continues, would he be considered a [[Pokemon coordinator]]? =p <--[[User:Alyssachanpc|Hikari-chan]] 20:50, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
:Does not mean he will continue. In fact, it's extremely unlikely he will. If he did continue, though, yes, that would mean he can be considered one. --a sick [[User:Pie|Pie]] 22:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Pie.

Most likely Ash will not continue entering contests to become a cooridinator. Afterall, his main goal is and will always be, to become a Pokemon Master. Which makes me ask the question of WHY he wanted to start doing contests in the first place. It makes no sense to me whatsoever......
:My guess is that he was testing the waters. After all, he wants to be a Pokémon master, so... he should obviously master EVERYTHING about them. Or something. Maybe he should go start buying capes and get Marina to fangirl him. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 10:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

==Ash Loses to Gym Leaders==
Is it really a true statement to say that Ash loses to one Gym Leader in each region? As I recall it, he didn't lose to any of the Gym Leaders in the Orange Islands. Or are we just going by Game Regions? - [[User:Kenji-Girl|Kenji-Girl]]
:You're right about the Orange Islands Gym Leaders. Perhaps that should be noted in the article that he's only lost to Gym Leaders featured in the games. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 02:34, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
:I think that whoever wrote that meant he always loses a battle against a gym leader. Remember, the Gyms in the Orange Islands didn't focus on battling like most gyms, but rather had trainers go through special tests of skill.--[[User:Dual|Dual]] 03:31, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
:Not ''strictly'' true since both [[Rudy]] and [[Luana]] battle, Rudy having same-type battles and Luana doing double battles. Ash won first time against both, so thus the statement that Ash has lost at least one battle against a gym leader in each region is wrong. -- [[User:Nebula|Nebula]] 17:48, 16 September 2007 (UK Time)

==Does Ash Have a Dad?==
If Delia is ashes mom, then who is his dad? --[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy512]] 20:22, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

No one knows, although there are a few possiblities on who he could be-[[user:Mawile the deciever|Mawile the deciever]]

:Of course Ash has a dad. Everyone does. We just don't know who he is. - [[User:Kenji-girl|Kenji Girl]]

::Biologically, he has a father but Delia had 100+ one-time partners, so she doesn't know which one is Ash's father. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:01, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
:::Bad Maxim. No baseless speculation written as fact. That's how rumors start, you know. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 16:36, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
::::Lol, I was just kidding. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 10:51, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
:::::I wonder how likely that "slow revelation" PUSA mentioned is to actually happen.

== Two Deaths? ==

Perhaps this is just me, but doesn't the time when Ash was consumed by the antibodies in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' also count as a death? --[[User:Skully Collins|Skully Collins]] 10:11, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
: Yes it does, in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pat-FIgexgI this video] Banks says "..they're meant to encapsulate foreign parasites and '''eliminate''' them.."

That means when Ash was engulfed by one of those things, he was "eliminated". E.g Destroyed, Killed. --[[User:Pluvia|Pluvia]] 03:37, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
:That doesn't mean they did it yet. It seemed more like Mew stopped the elimination process before it happened. There's really no solid proof that he died. --[[User:Kenji-girl|Kenji Girl]].

It is a weird situation. Which is one reason why I put "at least twice", because I don't know if it should count or not. They certainly treated it as a death, though, not "he's slowly being digested or something and there's only such and such amount of time to save him". They treated it as "he's gone and never coming back... well, except Mew can completely bend reality and restore everyone who was killed by red blobs". --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 04:55, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

But don't white blood cells "kill" the "bacteria" almost immediately, if not straight away? So how can Mew stop the elimination process if it had already happened? Perhaps, and with all due respect to Kenji-Girl when I say this, but aren't you mixing it up with a "digestion" process? If not, then I apologise - But if so, then white blood cells don't ''technically'' digest, or "eat", their ermm...how to put this?..."food"(?) rather consume, or to put it IMO better "destroy", it - digestion involves taking nutrition from the thing being consumed. Anyway, sorry for the (possibly flawed) biology lesson. --[[User:Skully Collins|Skully Collins]] 13:14, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

:No, no, that's what I thought, too. I'm not a biology expert, though, and my teachers never went into that much depth about how white blood cells work. But all signs point to them being destroyed as soon as the tree's red blobs (wow, I use really technical terms, huh?) engulfed them. Particularly when you notice the blobs just shrink and disappear into the tree after. With nothing visible inside. I mean, if they're still there, it seem they're not being carried away in one piece. Also, it sort of makes sense that completely undoing that could expend Mew's energy so much and, in turn, harm the tree so badly - rather than just stopping a few "cells" carrying the humans and making them return them to the tree's interior. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 15:30, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

::Doesn't matter - I'm just happy someone agrees with me - Just a bit of curiosity: What happens afterwards? Am I guessing correctly that there is crying involved? (Sorry, the movie hasn't been shown in the UK yet! I would rant on about how we Europeans seem to get everything last but that isn't the subject at hand :-P) --[[User:Skully Collins|Skully Collins]] 16:35, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Why doesn't Mewtwo Strikes Back count? The petrification was to all intents and purposes a death and was treated as such by the movie.

:It looks like they also removed the part about Ash dying in the ''Tower of Terror'' episode as well. Not sure why they did this but what ever. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 03:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

==Ash's Age==

[[User:Gamesmaster|Gamesmaster]] just changed Ash's age. Whie I find '13' more likely than 'still 10', do we have any confirmation of this? -[[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]]
:According to canon, Ash is 10. They haven't mentioned a change at all, even though he's been traveling for three or four years. In fact, at the start of AG, two years into his journey, they said he was ten, like May. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 20:42, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
::They actually said that on-screen? -[[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]]
:::I knew this would happen when we added the ages to the profiles. Now we are having edit wars over what Ash's age really is. The truth is, we have no idea how old he is. I doubt that he's still ten though. I think we should put his age as ten, and then say (as of debut). --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 03:31, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
::::That could work. Personally I was tempted to put "10 (yes, still)", just to be sarky.
:::::In the Pikachu and Pichu Short Ash celebrated his one-year anniversary of when he first met Pikachu. Ash first met Pikachu on his tenth birthday which means he has to be at least eleven -[[User:Wynautluvr|Wynautluvr]]
::::::But if you recall, in the episode when they returned to Viridian City during the first season, the group said that it had been a whole year sinse they were in Viridian, meaning that he had to be eleven then too. And in the short, Ash just said "This is the day we first met." He never said how long it had been since. Most of the mentioning of years has to do with the dub. I don't think the original even mentions it. So again, it can't be determined. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 20:49, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Which is a point in itself: The original probably counts for this more than the dub. -[[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]]
::::::::[[Aging in the anime]] states Bulbapedia's policy on this so 10 goes in the article.
::::::::The anime is hardly a realistic scenario when it comes to the context of aging or families so Ash still being 10 regardless of years passing is entirely believable. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 11:05, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

== Adding a section for Ash's age. ==

I there is a lot of debate over Ash's true age so is it possible for someone add a section discussing his age on his page? Maybe it can also list the reasons for the different ages. {{unsigned|Kirby3003}}

I realize that there is debate, and there have been countless times where somebody has edited Ash's page claiming his age is 15. However, as it currently stands, he is ten years old. Keep in mind that cartoon characters rarely, if ever, age. Look at The Simpsons, Hey Arnold, Rugrats, or pretty much any other cartoon out there. Just because all these years have gone by doesn't really mean anything to a cartoon character. So for now, until we hear official word stating otherwise, Ash's age will be listed as ten. I personally think the page looks fine now, stating that as of EP001 he's ten. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 00:54, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

- Aging in anime isn't completely unheard of either, though most of the examples I can think of involve a timeskip (Naruto, Digimon Zero 02, and soon Ben 10) - [[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]]

There really isn't enough canon information to be able to go beyond what is already in [[Aging in the anime]]. It all comes down to personal interpretation when anyone goes for any age other than 10 or 12. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 16:05, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Seriously, can we stop the age argument? All we know is that he was 10 at his debut. We have no idea how old he is now. He could still be 10 or he could be older. '''WE DON'T KNOW'''. The writers never mention so we shouldn't go and make guesses. And I HIGHLY doubt that he's 15. If Brock looked like he did at 15 what would make you think that Ash was? Would his voice not change? Anyway we should just leave it at 10. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 02:21, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

: His voice ''did'' change. It changed from [[Veronica Taylor]] to [[Sarah Natochenny]]. [[User:Zurqoxn|Zurqoxn]] 03:28, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

:Might I quickly point out that the voice change would have no effect on his age? They only changed it because [[Pokemon USA]] decided to dub the Pokemon anime, and chose not to hire the older voice actors. -[[User:Mudkipchan|Mudkipchan]] 03:32, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

:: I know. That was supposed to be funny. Maybe I should have put a :) there. [[User:Zurqoxn|Zurqoxn]] 05:14, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

::: That's always been a favourite theory of mine, too. That Season 9 was when Ash's voice broke, somehow managing to break the voices of everyone else nearby in the process. Sadly, As of the Hippotas episode, Satoshi still doesn't have chest hair, so... - [[User:Cassius335|Alan]] 14:05 (GMT), 7 September 2007
::::Well neither has Brock and he's 15 =P. And what about James? He's even older and doesn't have any. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 02:55, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
::::: Touche! ^_^ [[User:Cassius335|Alan]]

If you want to stop discussing it, fine, but the only thing that'll stop the argument once and for all is if we can finally get some concrete information that everyone is happy with. - [[User:Cassius335|Alan]]

:But the writers will never give us that, sadly. The closest we have to concrete evidence is the fact that Brock's siblings look almost the same after all this time whereas the youngest would definately be bigger if they had aged numerous years. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 12:46, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
:: Or maybe humans evolve too... :p - [[User:Cassius335|Alan]]
::: With the amount of attention the writers pay to realism, they probably do. ;) --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 20:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Maybe we shall take the text "This is the day we meet" quote from ''[[Pikachu and Pichu]]'' as a proof that he is atleast eleven? - [[User talk:Pokémon Lover King Mario|Pokémon Lover]] [[User:Pokémon Lover King Mario|King Mario]]?
: Plus, if Shinji is (at least) 11, Ash sure as heck is. ''sigh'' All circumstantial, though. - [[User:Cassius335|Alan]]
:: Yet he doesn't call it a birthday and is still 10 at the start of AG.
:: There really is no answer so going round in circles won't help. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 15:53, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

'''Sableye''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ヤミラミ ''Yamirami'') is a {{t|Dark}}/{{t|Ghost}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
===Gender differences===
None.

===Special abilities===
==Behavior==
There are old stories that say a Sableye will steal your soul if you look into its eyes. However, evidence suggests that these Pokémon are actually friendly, only playing their infamous tricks on travelers in order to get attention because they become lonely living in dark holes all by themselves.

==Habitat==
Sableye live in caves and abandoned mines, where they can readily find mineral deposits to eat.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

Sableye usually eat raw gems.

=In the anime=

Sableye first appeared in ''[[AG029|Ready, Willing, and Sableye]]''. The Darkness Pokémon was playing tricks on [[Ash]] and co.

[[Cassidy]]'s Sableye debuted in ''[[H008|Oaknapped]]''.

=Trivia=
There are only two Pokémon created so far that are naturally weak to no type, of which Sableye is the first. The other is {{p|Spiritomb}}. The only ways to get a super-effective hit on Sableye are either to use {{m|Foresight}} or {{m|Odor Sleuth}} followed by a {{t|Fighting}}-type move, or to use a Pokémon with the {{a|Scrappy}} ability which knows a {{t|Fighting}}-type move.

Sableye is the only [[Generation III]] Pokémon to have [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|a ruby and a sapphire on it]].
==Origin==
===Name origin===
Sableye's name is a combination of ''sable'' and ''eye''; it may also be a play on the word ''able-eyed''. Its Japanese name may be a combination of 闇 ''yami'', darkness, and 藪睨み ''yabunirami'', a squint.

'''Meowth''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ニャース ''Nyarth'') is a {{t|Normal}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
Meowth has a distinctly feline appearance, resembling a small housecat. It has cream-colored fur, which turns brown at its paws and tail tip. Its oval-shaped head features prominent whiskers, no nose, black-and-brown ears and a gold oval coin (also known as "charm") embedded in its forehead. Meowth's coloration, its love of coins (see Special abilities) and its charm indicate that Meowth is based on the Japanese Maneki Neko, a cat-shaped figurine that is said to bring good luck and money to its owner.
==Physiology==
===Gender differences===
None.
===Special abilities===
Meowth are valued for their ability to create coins using {{m|Pay Day}}

==Behavior==
Meowth are very fond anything round and shiny. As such, they have been known to wander about city street and {{a|pickup}} anything that's round and shiny (mostly, coins). Meowth are considered rivals of {{p|Murkrow}}. This is because Murkrow are also known for stealing round and shiny objects and that these two Pokémon have been known to steal from each other's hordes.

Wild Meowth tend to live in groups in urban areas.

==Habitat==
Meowth usually live in towns and cities. They can also occasionally be found in vibrant forests or near beaches.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
[[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] is one of two main Pokémon in the series, the other being [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Meowth is a member of [[Team Rocket]], and he is unlike ordinary Meowth in that he can speak human language and walk on two legs instead of four. His first appearance was in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''. His background story, including another female Meowth named [[Meowzie]], was told in ''[[EP070|Go West, Young Meowth]]''. Meowth was cloned in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', but it couldn't talk or walk on two legs.

[[Ash]] used a Meowth during the Pokémon League entrance exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]''. The Meowth was defeated by the instuctor's {{p|Vaporeon}}.

[[Tyson's Meowth]] debuted in ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]''. This Meowth was dressed up like [[wp:Puss_In_Boots|Puss in Boots]]. Team Rocket's Meowth was sceptical about the Meowth in Boots's outfit, insulted because he called him a disgrace to Meowths, and jealous because of the Meowth in Boots's moveset. However, Team Rocket's Meowth softened up to Meowth in Boots after realising that they have the same hatred for Persians in the following episode.

=In the manga=
===Pokémon Special===
Meowth's first appearance is a cameo in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].

=In the TFG=
One Meowth figure has been released.

=Trivia=
Meowth's number in the [[National Dex]] (52) happens to be the reversed version of {{P|Pikachu}}'s (25). It is unknown whether or not this was intentional, however, in the anime, [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Team Rocket's Meowth]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]] are rivals.
==Origin==
Meowth seems to be based upon the Japanese legend of the 招き猫 ''[[wp:Maneki Neko|Maneki Neko]]'', also known as the lucky cat or beckoning cat. According to one legend, a cat raised its paw to welcome a lord and saved his life when a lighting bolt hit the spot where he had been standing. Maneki Neko are often used as charms in restaurants and shops to bring customers or fortune and good luck. Statues of the cat are usually depicted holding a ''koban'', an ancient coin used in Japan, like the one on Meowth's head.

[[Junichi Masuda]] states that Meowth is based on [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s own pet cat.
===Name origin===
Meowth's name appears to be a combination of ''meow'', the sound a cat makes, as well as ''mouth'', possibly referring to the [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|anime version's]] gift of gab. ''Nyarth'' is similar, with ''nyā'' being the Japanese equivalent of ''meow''.

Geodude comes with one of two [[Abilities]]: Sturdy, which prevents One-Hit KO attacks from having any effect; or Rock Head, which eliminates the recoil from certain attacks -- for instance, {{M|Double-edge}}.

Geodude evolves via level, starting at level 25, into {{p|Graveler}}, and then into {{p|Golem}} at any time via link trade.

==Habitat==
Geodude can be most often found on mountain trails under rocks or in caves.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
[[Brock]] had a [[Brock's Geodude|Geodude]] that he used in Kanto and Johto before giving it to his brother, [[Forrest]], on his departure to Hoenn.

Other [[Gym Leader]]s have also used Geodudes: [[Danny]], the Naval Island Gym Leader, used one to help create and ride a sledge as part of the challenges in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''. [[Roxanne]] used one in her battle with Ash in ''[[AG016|Winner by a Nosepass]]''. [[Roark]] used his Geodude against [[Paul]] in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come]]'' and [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]''.

Geodude and its evolved forms were the loyal subjects of King {{p|Onix}} in ''[[AG137|Hooked on Onix]]''.

=In the manga=
==In the Pokémon Special manga==
Geodude makes cameos in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'' standing next to [[Brock]], suggesting that he is its owner and in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'' as a [[Mt. Moon]] [[wild Pokémon]].

Brock is seen with no less than eight Geodude on the jacket of [[Pokémon Special volume 8|Volume 8]]. The Geodude octet is later seen in [[Pokémon Special volume 14|Volume 14]], attempting to halt the [[Magnet Train]] with a combined {{m|Magnitude}}.

=Other appearances=
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Geodude is the final Pokéfloat to appear. As the {{p|Unown}} float around the top half of the screen, Geodude floats across the bottom with its arms outstretched, providing a solid base for fighting. After it leaves the screen, there will be no Pokéfloats on the screen for a few seconds, before Squirtle pops up and restarts the cycle.

==Pokédex entries==
{{Dex
|type=rock
|gen=1
|redbluedex=Found in fields and mountains. Mistaking them for boulders, people often step or trip on them.
|yellowdex=Commonly found near mountain trails, etc. If you step on one by accident, it gets angry.
|stadiumdex=When traveling uphill, if it encounters a raised step, it cleverly hoists itself up and over using its two arms.
|golddex=Most people may not notice, but a closer look should reveal that there are many Geodude around.
|silverdex=It uses its arms to steadily climb steep mountain paths. It swings its fists around if angered.
|crystaldex=Proud of their sturdy bodies, they bash against each other in a contest to prove whose is harder.
|stadium2dex=Most people may not notice, but a closer look should reveal that there are many Geodude around.
|rubydex=The longer a Geodude lives, the more its edges are chipped and worn away, making it more rounded in appearance. However, this Pokémon's heart will remain hard, craggy, and rough always.
|sapphiredex=When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground. It will not awaken even if hikers step on it unwittingly. In the morning, this Pokémon rolls downhill in search of food.
|emeralddex=It climbs mountain paths using only the power of its arms. Because they look just like boulders lining paths, hikers may step on them without noticing.
|firereddex=Its round form makes it easy to pick up. Some people have used them to hurl at each other in a snowball fight.
|leafgreendex=Found in fields and mountians. Mistaking them for boulders, people often step or trip on them.
|diamonddex=Many live on mountain trails and remain half buried while keeping an eye on climbers.
|pearldex=It is impossible to distinguish from rocks. It slams against others in contests of hardness.

'''Articuno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: フリーザー ''Freezer'') is an {{t|Ice}}/{{t|Flying}}-type Pokémon. It's found in the [[Kanto]] region at [[Seafoam Island]]. Articuno appeared in the movie [[The Power of One]]. Like {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Zapdos}}, in the film it was violent and destructive.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Articuno takes the form of a large bird with predominantly blue plumage. Its coloring is darkest on its long streamer-like tail and head crest. Its head crest is fairly simple, consisting of three rhombus-shaped feathers on its forehead. Its body is a sky-blue, growing lighter on its chest and belly. Its most distinctive feature is its large wings, which look like they are made of ice. It has a small gray beak and similarly colored, thin legs. An Articuno in flight is a magnificent sight to behold.
===Gender differences===
Articuno is a genderless species.
===Special abilities===
When Articuno flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in the air around it, making snow fall.

==Behavior==
Articuno, along with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} is one of the [[legendary birds]] of Kanto. They are poorly understood species, believed by many to be pure myth. According to legend, it appears before doomed travelers lost in icy regions. It is impossible to tell if these are valid sightings, or merely delusions of the dying. It is described as being spectacular in flight: with its long tail streaming behind it, and its wings shining like ice. It is said to cause snow to fall when it flies, and has the potential ability to create blizzards.

==Habitat==
Articuno lives in cold places, isolated usually mountains. An Articuno is known to roost inside the seafoam islands of Kanto. However, Articuno is an extremely rare (if not one-of-a-kind) Pokémon due to its "[[Legendary]]" status.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
[[Image:NumeroUnoArticuno.jpg|thumb|right|[[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] with an Articuno]]
Articuno first appeared in the [[The Power of One|second movie]]. [[Lawrence III]] attempted to collect Articuno and the two other [[Legendary Pokémon#Legendary Birds|Legendary Birds]] in his scheme to capture {{p|Lugia}}.

Another was seen in the episode ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]''. Travelers say that the Articuno watch over them on their journeys through the mountains of [[Johto]]. [[Nurse Joy]] suggested that many other Articuno probably have nests in other cold locations with high altitudes.

Also, the [[Frontier Brain]] [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] uses one against challengers. This can be seen in the episode ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' in his battle against [[Ash]].

=In the manga=
In Pokémon Special, Articuno is shown to seal itself in a block of ice when it senses the presence of an enemy. It strongly dislikes confrontation.

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

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

=Trivia=
In [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue]], {{pkmn|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, and LeafGreen]] versions, there are binoculars in the guardhouse separating the city from {{rt|15}}, through which Articuno can be seen flying toward the sea. It is still visible in the binoculars if it is captured or defeated in the [[Seafoam Islands]].
==Origin==
This [[Pokémon]]'s appearance is based on the Arabic Anka myth, which is that of a giant arctic bird. The bird is similar to the [[wp:phoenix|phoenix]] as it is known to resurrect itself and appear to doomed people in the mountains.
===Name origin===
Articuno's name is a combination of the words ''arctic'' and ''uno'', the [[wp:Spanish language|Spanish]] word for one, indicating that it is the first in the series of [[Kanto]] [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary birds]]. Its Japanese name is simply ''Freezer'', one who freezes.
==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Arktos
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Artikodin - From ''arctique'' meaning arctic and ''Odin'', the Norse God.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 프리져 ''Peurijyeo''

Erm, about the trivia, perhaps it's my faulty memory - but I don't remember Wake or Candice appearing outside their Gyms. When does this happen? --[[User:Zeta|Zeta]] 06:40, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
:Crasher Wake, at the Battle Park. Candice, to let the player into Snowpoint Temple. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 07:04, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Is it worth mentioning that Maylene goes against most stereotypes of the fighting-type trainer? By that I mean she's a little girl rather than a big bulky man and unsure about her power rather than bragging about it. --[[User:Nebula|Nebula]] 20:14, 10 September 2007 (UK Time)

Nebula here! While I don't technically have any affiliation with any Pokémon site, I am most often found at Serebii but also sometimes at Marriland and (of course!) Bulbagarden.

I prefer battling at the NU, UU and sometimes BL tiers but I have no problems with battling using OU or even Uber Pokémon. I have no preferences as to which Pokémon I use, but seem to find myself using [[Fire_(type)|Fire]], [[Ground_(type)|Ground]] and/or [[Dark (type)|Dark]] types most often. If you ask really nicely, I might give you my friend code.

I am a specialist in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III|III]], with some knowledge about Generations [[Generation I|I]] and [[Generation IV|IV]].

I am also and RPer and in one Pokémon RP, my character (Dave) specialises in [[Poison (type)|Poison]] types, along with snake-like Pokémon such as [[Onix (Pokémon)|Onix]] and [[Dratini (Pokémon)| Dratini]]. His team is currently:

Talk:Porygon-Z (Pokémon)

2007-09-09T14:59:54Z

Nebula: /* The Meaning of Z */

==The Meaning of Z==

Couldn't the Z also mean the end? Like when Akria Toriyama suggested that the 'anime sequal' to Dragon Ball be called Dragon Ball Z? PorygonZ should, by all counts, be the end of the Porygon Evolutionary line, seeing as it is the third stage, and no Pokémon currently have more than 3 stages.--[[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 01:20, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
: Well, yeah I think it could mean that. But DragonBall Z had a sequel after that didn't it? It was DragonBall GT. But I don't think there will be another Evolution after that unless the Scientists that created it want it to be stronger... [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 20:36, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
: Z looks vaguely like 2. It's possible that Z was chosen because of that, and the fact that Porygon-Z looks like a corrupted version of Porygon2. -- [[User:Nebula|Nebula]]

== Pokedex entry ==

I was thinking that maybe I should edit the pokedex entry so that it makes more sense in English.
Something like this: "Although programs were added to make it surpass other pokemon, it began to behave strangely." sound good? [[User:Kabutops master|kabutops master]] 10:22 pm march 25, 2007
:Well, what's there now is pretty much just the translation of the Japanese one. With English DP out in four weeks, it'll be changed by then, but if you do now, it doesn't really matter, so long as you're doing so to improve its grammar. Just make sure to spell it "Pokémon". --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 03:04, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
