An '''Ability''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|特性|とくせい}}''' ''Ability'') is a game mechanic introduced in [[Generation III]] that provides a passive effect in battle or in the overworld. Individual Pokémon may have only one Ability at a time. Prior to [[Generation VI]], an Ability could not be changed after a Pokémon was obtained except by [[evolution]]—where the new Ability is determined by the former Ability—and [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form change]]. Not every Ability is entirely beneficial; {{cat|Abilities with negative effects|some of them are hindering}}.

Abilities are functionally absent in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

==Terminology==
Often in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and also sometimes in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, this is written as "special ability" (in lowercase). Some examples:

* The descriptions of {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, and {{a|Trace}} mention either "special ability" or "special abilities".
* In the placeholder text for a Pokémon with no Ability: "No special ability."
* Some [[non-player character]]s mention "special abilities".
** A male NPC in the house south of [[Devon Corporation]], in [[Rustboro City]]: "Every <sc>Pokémon</sc> has a special ability that it can use."
** A female NPC in the first floor of [[Mossdeep City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]: "Depending on the special abilities of <sc>Pokémon</sc>, some moves might change or not work at all."
** {{tc|Ace Trainer|Cooltrainer}} Jennifer in {{rt|120|Hoenn}}: "<sc>Pokémon</sc> have many special abilities. If you want to become a first-class <sc>Trainer</sc>, learn about them.", "The special abilities of <sc>Pokémon</sc> will make battle styles change."
* In the [[easy chat system]]: "<sc>Sp. Ability</sc>"
* In the manual of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, about the Pokémon's [[summary]]: "Displays the special <sc>Ability</sc> of the Pokémon"

Sometimes in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, but more often in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and [[Generation IV]], this is written as "ability" (in lowercase; without the word "special"). Some examples:

* The Pokémon's summary has an "Ability" field.
* The description of [[TM48]] ({{m|Skill Swap}}) mentions "abilities".
* When {{m|Skill Swap}} is used in battle: "<Pokémon> swapped abilities with its opponent!"
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and [[Generation IV]] games, the descriptions of {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{a|Trace}}, and {{m|Worry Seed}} mention either "ability" or "abilities".
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, said by the NPC who delivers [[TM48]] ({{m|Skill Swap}}) in [[Canalave City]]: "You know how Pokémon have their own abilities? Well, the move Skill Swap exchanges the user’s ability with that of its target Pokémon."

From [[Generation V]] onwards, this is consistently written as "Ability" (starting with a capital letter).

==Mechanics==
[[File:Primordial Sea.png|thumb|[[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}} activating its Ability, {{a|Primordial Sea}} in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Note the banner on the left.]]
Some species of Pokémon have multiple possible Abilities. The most Abilities any species or form has is three: two normal Abilities and one Hidden Ability. In most [[wild Pokémon]] encounters, the Pokémon's Ability will be one of its non-Hidden Abilities (each having an even chance of appearing if the species has two). Hidden Abilities were introduced in [[Generation V]]; they are relatively rare and usually require some type of special encounter.

In technical terms, a species' Abilities may be thought of as having separate slots, with an individual Pokémon's non-Hidden slot determined by its [[personality value]]. For example, an {{p|Eevee}} — with two non-Hidden Abilities — has {{a|Run Away}} for its first non-Hidden slot, {{a|Adaptability}} for its second, and {{a|Anticipation}} for its Hidden Ability slot. {{p|Vaporeon}} — with only one non-Hidden Ability — can be considered to have {{a|Water Absorb}} for both non-Hidden slots. When a Pokémon evolves, its Ability slot remains the same. This means that a {{p|Poochyena}} with {{a|Run Away}} will evolve into a {{p|Mightyena}} with {{a|Intimidate}}, while a Poochyena with {{a|Quick Feet}} will evolve into a Mightyena with {{a|Quick Feet}}.

Aside from Evolution, there are four ways for Pokémon to change Abilities in a permanent manner. First, if the Pokémon has different [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] with different Abilities. Second, [[Pokémon Bank|transferring]] a Pokémon from one generation of games to a later one in which the Ability in a given slot is different. Third, using the [[Ability Capsule]], introduced in [[Generation VI]], will change a Pokémon's non-Hidden Ability slot, but it will not work if the Pokémon's species has only one non-Hidden Ability. Fourth, using the [[Ability Patch]], introduced in [[Generation VIII]], will change a Pokémon's Ability slot from its non-Hidden Ability to its Hidden Ability if it has one, or starting in [[Generation IX]], from its Hidden Ability slot to its first non-Hidden Ability slot. Aside from these methods, during battle, Pokémon may also change their Ability through [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Primal Reversion]], and certain [[move]]s and Abilities can also change a Pokémon's Ability.

When Abilities were introduced in [[Generation III]], some Pokémon only had one possible Ability. A number of these species were given a second Ability in a later generation. If a Pokémon whose species gained an Ability after Generation III is transferred to Generations IV or {{gen|V}}, it will initially retain its original Ability; upon evolving, however, its Ability slot will be recalculated and its Ability may change. When a Pokémon is transferred to Generation VI or [[Generation VII]], however, it will be locked into the appropriate slot for its current Ability.

Aside from in-battle effects, some Abilities also have effects {{cat|Abilities with field effects|outside of battle}}.

===Hidden Abilities===
{{main|Hidden Ability}}
A Hidden Ability is essentially a rare Ability that Pokémon normally do not have access to, introduced in [[Generation V]]. Most Pokémon encountered in the games will not have a Hidden Ability; but usually, there are special encounter methods where Pokémon can have a Hidden Ability. Certain [[event Pokémon]] and special in-game Pokémon may also have their Hidden Ability.

The Hidden Ability is implemented as a third slot, and a Pokémon with its Hidden Ability will retain its Hidden Ability slot upon [[evolution]] in the same way that its normal Abilities may change. For example, a {{p|Caterpie}} with its Hidden Ability of {{a|Run Away}} will have {{a|Shed Skin}} upon evolving once and {{a|Tinted Lens}} upon evolving into {{p|Butterfree}}. Prior to [[Generation VIII]], it was not possible to change a Pokémon's Ability slot from a normal Ability to a Hidden Ability. [[Generation VIII]] introduced the consumable [[Ability Patch]], which allows switching between a Pokémon's normal and Hidden Abilities.

When {{pkmn|breeding}} with a Pokémon that has its Hidden Ability, its offspring [[Pokémon breeding#Inheriting Abilities|have a chance]] of having their Hidden Ability as well.

===Inheriting Abilities===
{{main|Pokémon breeding#Inheriting Abilities|Pokémon breeding → Inheriting Abilities}}
In Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, Abilities could not be inherited by {{pkmn|breeding}}. An Egg would simply randomly be born with one of its possible Abilities.

Since [[Generation V]], it has been possible for female Pokémon to pass down their Ability. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, if a female Pokémon has its Hidden Ability and is bred with a male Pokémon, it has a 60% chance of passing it down. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, a female Pokémon bred with a male Pokémon has an 80% chance of passing down its Ability slot (regardless of whether it is a Hidden Ability or not). From [[Generation VI]] onward, a female Pokémon has an 80% (60% for Hidden Ability) chance to pass down its Ability slot, regardless of whether it is bred with a male Pokémon or {{p|Ditto}}.

Since [[Generation VI]], it is possible for male and [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] Pokémon (such as {{p|Magnemite}}) to pass down their Ability if bred with a Ditto, in which case it has a 60% chance to pass down its Hidden Ability. They cannot pass down a Hidden Ability when bred with any Pokémon other than Ditto. Ditto's Ability is always irrelevant to inheritance.

If an Egg does not inherit its Ability from a parent, it can only be born with one of its non-Hidden Abilities.

==Ability-related effects==
Various items, moves, and Abilities can affect a Pokémon's Ability, usually in battle.

==Alternatives==
===Generation II===
Prior to Abilities' introduction, [[Generation II]] games already featured a mechanic similar to {{a|Pickup}} and {{a|Honey Gather}} uniquely available to a single Pokémon species: after each battle, a {{i|Berry}} held by a {{p|Shuckle}} can automatically transform into [[Berry Juice]]. No other Pokémon has this trait, and it hasn't been translated into an actual Ability in subsequent games.

===Generation VIII===
While Abilities are officially absent in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], the effects of {{a|Flower Gift}} and {{a|Slow Start}} are nonetheless applied to {{p|Cherrim}} and {{p|Regigigas}} respectively. [[Plate]]s are also available as [[Key Item]]s to replicate {{p|Arceus}}'s {{a|Multitype}}.

==In other games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{main|Mystery Dungeon game mechanics#Abilities|Mystery Dungeon game mechanics → Abilities}}

Abilities available in the core series games are also available in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. Some Abilities differ from their counterparts in the core series (e.g. {{a|Intimidate}} reduces the opposing Pokémon's Attack by 20%). Prior to [[Gates to Infinity]], Pokémon with two Abilities would have both rather than just one. There are no Hidden Abilities in Mystery Dungeon games.

===Pokémon Conquest===
{{main|List of Abilities (Conquest)}}

While most Pokémon species in [[Pokémon Conquest]] have access to three Abilities (similar to the main series, Hidden Abilities included), many of these Abilities are different from the main series due to differences in the battle system. For example, Abilities like {{a|Cute Charm}} and {{a|Rivalry}} do not exist in Pokémon Conquest (due to the game's lack of a [[gender]] mechanic), while other Abilities utilize mechanics unique to Pokémon Conquest battles (like "Sprint", which increases the user's movement {{stat|Range}}).

Like the main series, an individual Pokémon's Ability is dictated by its current species (i.e. evolutionary form) and may change during [[evolution]].

===Pokémon UNITE===
In {{g|UNITE}}, Abilities are similar to the main series. Every Pokémon with a Unite License uses one of their Abilities from the main series games as their Ability. Similarly, a Pokémon's Ability can change when it evolves, such as {{p|Tyranitar}} having [[Guts]] as a {{p|Larvitar}} and [[Shed Skin]] as a {{p|Pupitar}} before gaining [[Sand Stream]] as a Tyranitar. The effects of Abilties usually correlate to their main series counterparts, such as how [[Garchomp]]'s [[Rough Skin]] deals damage to opponents who hit it with [[physical]] melee attacks. However, this is not always the case, as [[Mewtwo]]'s [[Pressure]] only serves to enable its [[Mega Evolution]] instead of having an effect that lines up with its main series effect of reducing [[PP]]. Abilities often have multiple effects aside from adapting the main series Abilities. These effects can fill gauges or give the Pokémon resources that contribute to the effectiveness of its other attacks and [[move]]s. Many Abilities that trigger as a result of something happening, such as {{p|Pikachu}}'s [[Static]] activating when it takes damage, cannot trigger again until a cooldown period has passed.

==In the anime==
[[File:Harrison Kecleon Color Change.png|thumb|250px|{{jo|Harrison}}'s {{p|Kecleon}} activating {{a|Color Change}}]]
Abilities have been shown in the {{pkmn|anime}}, but are usually only used in {{pkmn|battle}}s; however, sometimes they have an effect on the plot, such as {{TP|Ash|Infernape}}'s {{a|Blaze}}. Abilities sometimes work differently in the anime than they would in the games, such as {{a|Mold Breaker}}, which in the anime cancels out more Abilities than it would in the games.

===[[Original series]]===
The only Ability that was seen in the original series was {{a|Color Change}}, being used by [[Madison and Alexa]]'s {{p|Kecleon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]''. It was later used by {{jo|Harrison}}'s Kecleon in ''[[EP271|Playing With Fire!]]''.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''===
The first Ability to be seen other than {{a|Color Change}} was {{a|Rough Skin}}, first seen in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''. It was used by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Sharpedo}}.

In ''[[AG033|Now That's Flower Power!]]'' a Kecleon used {{a|Color Change}}.

In ''[[AG039|A Poké-BLOCK Party!]]'', [[Alanna]]'s {{p|Whismur}} used its {{a|Soundproof}} Ability to stay awake and listen to {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s {{m|Sing|song}}.

[[Colonel Hansen]]'s {{p|Shedinja}} used {{a|Wonder Guard}} to protect itself against {{m|Spike Cannon}} by [[Misty's Corsola]] in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''.
[[File:Colonel Hansen Shedinja Wonder Guard.png|thumb|250px|[[Colonel Hansen]]'s {{p|Shedinja}} activating {{a|Wonder Guard}}]]
Two Abilities were seen in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', being used by [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Grovyle}}, using {{a|Static}} and {{a|Overgrow}} respectively.

[[Bart]]'s {{p|Castform}} used {{a|Forecast}} in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]'', turning into its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Castform|Sunny and Rainy Form]].

In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', [[Marcel]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}} possessed {{a|Vital Spirit}}, which prevented it from falling asleep while fighting a {{p|Snorlax}} that kept using {{m|Yawn}}.

Both {{a|Drizzle}} and {{a|Drought}} were seen in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'' respectively by {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}}.

In ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!]]'', [[Liza's Lunatone]] used {{a|Levitate}}.

In ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough]]'', [[Juan]]'s {{p|Luvdisc}} used {{a|Swift Swim}} to increase its speed.

In ''[[AG112|Showdown At Linoone]]'', [[Kimmy Shoney|Kimmy]]'s {{p|Linoone}}, Tokin, used {{a|Pickup}} to steal and take items to its private stash, including {{an|May}}'s Poké Balls.

In ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]'', {{ho|Tyson}}'s {{p|Hariyama}} used {{a|Thick Fat}} to halve the damage it took from [[Ash's Torkoal]]'s {{m|Flamethrower}}.

In ''[[AG138|Rough, Tough Jigglypuff]]'', [[Lisa Mitchum]]'s {{p|Jigglypuff}} used {{a|Cute Charm}} whilst her [[Mitch Mitchum|father]]'s {{p|Loudred}} used Soundproof to stop Jigglypuff's {{m|Sing}} from working.

[[Angela]]'s Kecleon used Color Change in ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]'', while [[Brock's Bonsly]] used {{a|Rock Head}}.

In ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing!]]'', a wild {{p|Wooper}} used {{a|Water Absorb}}.

In ''[[AG191|Once More With Reeling!]]'', [[May's Blaziken]] used its Blaze Ability while [[Ash's Sceptile]] used {{a|Overgrow}} during their [[Contest Battle]] in the {{to|Terracotta}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===
Abilities proved important in the battles [[Paul]] and {{Ash}} had with [[Roark]]. During Paul's battle in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'', his {{TP|Paul|Elekid}} uses Static to paralyze Roark's {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Cranidos}} although the latter shakes it off with {{a|Mold Breaker}}. Paul also deliberately allows his {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}} to take extra damage so that it can activate Blaze. After Ash's first match with Roark ends in defeat, {{an|Brock}} briefly lends him {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'' because its Ability Rock Head makes it similar to Roark's Pokémon Onix, who also had the Ability. During Ash's rematch in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', Pikachu also activates Static against Roark's newly evolved {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}} and it is similarly ineffective.

In ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', [[Officer Jenny]]'s {{p|Stunky}} used {{a|Stench}} against {{TRT}}.

[[Gardenia]]'s {{p|Cherubi}} caught Ash by surprise during their first battle in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'' when it was able to move very quickly with {{a|Chlorophyll}}.

In ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'', Ash and Paul found themselves at a disadvantage during their first [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] because the {{p|Rhydon}} used by one of their opponents possessed {{a|Lightning Rod}}, rendering Pikachu's {{type|Electric}} [[move|attacks]] useless.

In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'' Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}} found Paul and {{cat|Paul's Pokémon|his other Pokémon}} evidently abusing his Chimchar, repeatedly attacking it until it eventually collapsed from exhaustion. When confronted, Paul explained that Chimchar actually wanted the brutal training regimen; when they first met, Chimchar was being attacked by wild {{p|Zangoose}} and when pushed to the limit it activated Blaze and defeated all of the Zangoose with {{m|Flame Wheel}}. This incredible power was what drove Paul to capture Chimchar in the first place and the two have been trying to replicate the experience ever since with no success.

{{a|Swift Swim}} was an important part of [[Ash's Buizel]] going toe to toe with [[Maylene's Lucario]] in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''

{{a|Blaze}} returned in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'' when Ash's Chimchar became enraged during a battle with [[Paul's Ursaring]]. It took considerable effort for Ash to return Chimchar to normal after it defeated Ursaring, causing Paul to leave the battle a draw. Paul told Ash that they would only battle again when and if Ash and Chimchar learned to control Blaze.
[[File:Ash Monferno Blaze.png|thumb|250px|[[Ash's Monferno]] activating {{a|Blaze}}]]
In ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'', [[Lila]]'s {{p|Delcatty}} activated his {{a|Cute Charm}} Ability while battling [[Dawn's Ambipom]] in the final round of the {{to|Celestic}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

In ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', [[Paul's Honchkrow]] used its Ability {{a|Super Luck}}.

In ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', [[Barry's Empoleon]] activated its {{a|Torrent}} Ability while battling Paul's Electivire in the third round of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

Paul's {{p|Aggron}} used its {{a|Rock Head}} Ability in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'' to avoid damage from its {{m|Double-Edge}} attack. In [[DP187|the next episode]], Paul's {{p|Froslass}} and {{p|Ninjask}} used {{a|Snow Cloak}} and Speed Boost, respectively.

{{a|Illusion}} was seen twice in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', being used by a {{OBP|Zoroark|M13}} and {{OBP|Zorua|M13}}.

===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
[[File:Brawly Makuhita Thick Fat Adventures.png|thumb|200px|[[Brawly's Makuhita]] activating {{a|Thick Fat}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Parallel to their introduction in [[Generation III]] of the video games, Abilities were first introduced in the ''Ruby & Sapphire'' arc of [[Pokémon Adventures]].

{{adv|Wally}}'s {{p|Kecleon}} activated its {{a|Color Change}} Ability in ''[[PS187|Tongue-Tied Kecleon]]''.

[[Matt]]'s {{p|Sharpedo}} and {{adv|Amber}}'s {{p|Carvanha}} both activated {{a|Rough Skin}} in ''[[PS189|Mowing Down Ludicolo]]''. {{adv|Ruby}}'s {{p|Castform}}, [[Fofo]], first activated {{a|Forecast}} in the same chapter.

During {{adv|Sapphire}}'s battle with [[Roxanne]] in ''[[PS190|Blowing Past Nosepass I]]'', [[Roxanne's Nosepass]] proved superior to [[Rono]]. Worried that Rono would be defeated, Sapphire attempted to switch Rono out for [[Chic]] but was unable to. Roxanne explained that because her {{p|Nosepass}} has {{a|Magnet Pull}}, {{type|Steel}} Pokémon cannot switch out.

Ruby's first encounter with Abilities arrived in ''[[PS193|Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt! II]]'' when he and [[Mr. Briney]] were attacked by a wild {{p|Crawdaunt}}. [[Peeko]] tried to defeat him with {{m|Quick Attack}}, but the Crawdaunt's {{a|Shell Armor}} prevented it from doing much damage at all. After Mr. Briney fell unconscious, Ruby had [[Kiki]] use {{m|Double-Edge}} and infatuate Crawdaunt with her Ability, {{a|Cute Charm}}.

Sapphire later struggled against a potent counter Ability when she faced [[Brawly]] in ''[[PS195|Mashing Makuhita]]''. After Rono was quickly defeated by [[Brawly's Makuhita]], Chic used {{m|Flamethrower}} against {{p|Makuhita}}, but it had little effect due to his {{a|Thick Fat}} Ability.

While on their way to [[Slateport City]], Ruby and Sapphire were attacked by [[Courtney]] and [[Tabitha]] at the [[Abandoned Ship]] during ''[[PS199|Adding It Up with Plusle & Minun II]]''. They escaped with the help of a wild {{TP|Ruby|Plusle}} and {{TP|Sapphire|Minun}} after Ruby realized that their complimentary Abilities, {{a|Plus}} and {{a|Minus}}, greatly amplified their power when they fought together.

After [[Wattson]] is captured by the [[New Mauville]] generator, Sapphire devised a double battle strategy using his {{TP|Wattson|Electrike}} in ''[[PS205|Plugging Past Electrike II]]''. While Electrike did not have the moves to defeat the generator itself, and the wild {{p|Donphan}} that Wattson and the [[Trick Master]] had originally intended to capture would be quickly eradicated by its powerful attacks, Electrike's Ability, {{a|Lightning Rod}}, would allow him to redirect the bolt away from Donphan, buying Donphan enough time to destroy the generator with {{m|Rollout}}.

[[Archie]]'s {{p|Walrein}} activated {{a|Thick Fat}} during battle with [[Maxie]]'s {{p|Camerupt}} in ''[[PS230|Walrein and Camerupt]]''. Maxie's Camerupt activated {{a|Magma Armor}} during the same battle.

{{adv|Groudon}} and {{adv|Kyogre}} activated {{a|Drought}} and {{a|Drizzle}}, respectively, in ''[[PS235|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon III]]''.

{{adv|Amber}}'s {{p|Ninjask}} used {{a|Speed Boost}} in ''[[PS246|Can I Ninjask You a Question?]]''.

[[Brawly]]'s {{p|Machoke}} used {{a|Guts}} in ''[[PS247|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon IX]]''.

Sapphire's {{p||Lairon}}, [[Rono]], and her {{p|Donphan}}, Phado, both activated {{a|Sturdy}} to survive against a {{m|Sheer Cold}} attack from Archie's Walrein in ''[[PS248|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon X]]''.

[[Norman]]'s {{p|Spinda}} was revealed to have {{a|Own Tempo}} as his Ability in ''[[PS258|Rayquaza Redemption I]]'', but {{m|Skill Swap}}ped it with his {{TP|Norman|Slaking}}'s {{a|Truant}} Ability.

===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====

{{adv|Red}}'s [[Gyara]] activated {{a|Intimidate}} at the start of {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}'s battle in ''[[PS273|Red and Blue Make Purple Opponents]]''.

Red's [[Aero]] activated {{a|Rock Head}} while using {{m|Take Down}} in ''[[PS274|Double Dealing with Deoxys]]''. In the same chapter, [[Blue's Rhydon]] activated {{a|Lightning Rod}}.

Organism No. 2 activated {{a|Pressure}} in ''[[PS279|Don't Doubt Deoxys]]''.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Ability (TCG)}}
Abilities under the name of Abilities did not appear in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} until the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion kicking off [[Generation V]]. However, this was merely a renaming of the longstanding [[Pokémon Power]]s. Pokémon Powers were very similar to Abilities, but were introduced much earlier, appearing in the very first {{TCG|Base Set}} during [[Generation I]]. In fact, some Abilities from the games originally appeared as Pokémon Powers.

With the introduction of the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, Pokémon Powers were split into two groups: Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies. Poké-Powers are special effects that the player must trigger or announce using. A Poké-Body's effect is a passive Ability that is always in effect. When Pokémon Powers were renamed to Abilities in {{TCG|Black and White}}, these distinctions were done away with.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Zygarde}} is the only Pokémon that has two standard Abilities but does not have a Hidden Ability.
* The unused Ability {{a|Cacophony}} was included in the coding for third-generation games as Ability #076 ({{a|Air Lock}} was #077). From the fourth generation, Cacophony was removed and Air Lock was renumbered as #076, with the new Abilities positioned from #077 onward.
* [[Generation III]] introduced the most Abilities, with a total of 76. [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest, with a total of 27.
* In Generation III, there is an unused Ability placeholder labeled as "-------" with the description "No special ability".
* Every Ability introduced in [[Generation VIII]] is a [[signature Ability]].

Necrozma800: /* List of Abilities */

[[File:Ability VIII.png|thumb|300px|{{p|Gyarados}} lowering {{p|Hydreigon}}'s {{stat|Attack}} stat with its {{a|Intimidate}} Ability]]
An '''Ability''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|特性|とくせい}}''' ''Ability'') is a game mechanic introduced in [[Generation III]] that provides a passive effect in battle or in the overworld. Individual Pokémon may have only one Ability at a time. Prior to [[Generation VI]], an Ability could not be changed after a Pokémon was obtained except by [[evolution]]—where the new Ability is determined by the former Ability—and [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form change]]. Not every Ability is entirely beneficial; {{cat|Abilities with negative effects|some of them are hindering}}.

Abilities are functionally absent in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

==Terminology==
Often in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and also sometimes in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, this is written as "special ability" (in lowercase). Some examples:

* The descriptions of {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, and {{a|Trace}} mention either "special ability" or "special abilities".
* In the placeholder text for a Pokémon with no Ability: "No special ability."
* Some [[non-player character]]s mention "special abilities".
** A male NPC in the house south of [[Devon Corporation]], in [[Rustboro City]]: "Every <sc>Pokémon</sc> has a special ability that it can use."
** A female NPC in the first floor of [[Mossdeep City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]: "Depending on the special abilities of <sc>Pokémon</sc>, some moves might change or not work at all."
** {{tc|Ace Trainer|Cooltrainer}} Jennifer in {{rt|120|Hoenn}}: "<sc>Pokémon</sc> have many special abilities. If you want to become a first-class <sc>Trainer</sc>, learn about them.", "The special abilities of <sc>Pokémon</sc> will make battle styles change."
* In the [[easy chat system]]: "<sc>Sp. Ability</sc>"
* In the manual of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, about the Pokémon's [[summary]]: "Displays the special <sc>Ability</sc> of the Pokémon"

Sometimes in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, but more often in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and [[Generation IV]], this is written as "ability" (in lowercase; without the word "special"). Some examples:

* The Pokémon's summary has an "Ability" field.
* The description of [[TM48]] ({{m|Skill Swap}}) mentions "abilities".
* When {{m|Skill Swap}} is used in battle: "<Pokémon> swapped abilities with its opponent!"
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and [[Generation IV]] games, the descriptions of {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{a|Trace}}, and {{m|Worry Seed}} mention either "ability" or "abilities".
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, said by the NPC who delivers [[TM48]] ({{m|Skill Swap}}) in [[Canalave City]]: "You know how Pokémon have their own abilities? Well, the move Skill Swap exchanges the user’s ability with that of its target Pokémon."

From [[Generation V]] onwards, this is consistently written as "Ability" (starting with a capital letter).

==Mechanics==
[[File:Primordial Sea.png|thumb|[[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}} activating its Ability, {{a|Primordial Sea}} in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Note the banner on the left.]]
Some species of Pokémon have multiple possible Abilities. The most Abilities any species or form has is three: two normal Abilities and one Hidden Ability. In most [[wild Pokémon]] encounters, the Pokémon's Ability will be one of its non-Hidden Abilities (each having an even chance of appearing if the species has two). Hidden Abilities were introduced in [[Generation V]]; they are relatively rare and usually require some type of special encounter.

In technical terms, a species' Abilities may be thought of as having separate slots, with an individual Pokémon's non-Hidden slot determined by its [[personality value]]. For example, an {{p|Eevee}} — with two non-Hidden Abilities — has {{a|Run Away}} for its first non-Hidden slot, {{a|Adaptability}} for its second, and {{a|Anticipation}} for its Hidden Ability slot. {{p|Vaporeon}} — with only one non-Hidden Ability — can be considered to have {{a|Water Absorb}} for both non-Hidden slots. When a Pokémon evolves, its Ability slot remains the same. This means that a {{p|Poochyena}} with {{a|Run Away}} will evolve into a {{p|Mightyena}} with {{a|Intimidate}}, while a Poochyena with {{a|Quick Feet}} will evolve into a Mightyena with {{a|Quick Feet}}.

Aside from Evolution, there are four ways for Pokémon to change Abilities in a permanent manner. First, if the Pokémon has different [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] with different Abilities. Second, [[Pokémon Bank|transferring]] a Pokémon from one generation of games to a later one in which the Ability in a given slot is different. Third, using the [[Ability Capsule]], introduced in [[Generation VI]], will change a Pokémon's non-Hidden Ability slot, but it will not work if the Pokémon's species has only one non-Hidden Ability. Fourth, using the [[Ability Patch]], introduced in [[Generation VIII]], will change a Pokémon's Ability slot from its non-Hidden Ability to its Hidden Ability if it has one, or starting in [[Generation IX]], from its Hidden Ability slot to its first non-Hidden Ability slot. Aside from these methods, during battle, Pokémon may also change their Ability through [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Primal Reversion]], and certain [[move]]s and Abilities can also change a Pokémon's Ability.

When Abilities were introduced in [[Generation III]], some Pokémon only had one possible Ability. A number of these species were given a second Ability in a later generation. If a Pokémon whose species gained an Ability after Generation III is transferred to Generations IV or {{gen|V}}, it will initially retain its original Ability; upon evolving, however, its Ability slot will be recalculated and its Ability may change. When a Pokémon is transferred to Generation VI or [[Generation VII]], however, it will be locked into the appropriate slot for its current Ability.

Aside from in-battle effects, some Abilities also have effects {{cat|Abilities with field effects|outside of battle}}.

===Hidden Abilities===
{{main|Hidden Ability}}
A Hidden Ability is essentially a rare Ability that Pokémon normally do not have access to, introduced in [[Generation V]]. Most Pokémon encountered in the games will not have a Hidden Ability; but usually, there are special encounter methods where Pokémon can have a Hidden Ability. Certain [[event Pokémon]] and special in-game Pokémon may also have their Hidden Ability.

The Hidden Ability is implemented as a third slot, and a Pokémon with its Hidden Ability will retain its Hidden Ability slot upon [[evolution]] in the same way that its normal Abilities may change. For example, a {{p|Caterpie}} with its Hidden Ability of {{a|Run Away}} will have {{a|Shed Skin}} upon evolving once and {{a|Tinted Lens}} upon evolving into {{p|Butterfree}}. Prior to [[Generation VIII]], it was not possible to change a Pokémon's Ability slot from a normal Ability to a Hidden Ability. [[Generation VIII]] introduced the consumable [[Ability Patch]], which allows switching between a Pokémon's normal and Hidden Abilities.

When {{pkmn|breeding}} with a Pokémon that has its Hidden Ability, its offspring [[Pokémon breeding#Inheriting Abilities|have a chance]] of having their Hidden Ability as well.

===Inheriting Abilities===
{{main|Pokémon breeding#Inheriting Abilities|Pokémon breeding → Inheriting Abilities}}
In Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, Abilities could not be inherited by {{pkmn|breeding}}. An Egg would simply randomly be born with one of its possible Abilities.

Since [[Generation V]], it has been possible for female Pokémon to pass down their Ability. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, if a female Pokémon has its Hidden Ability and is bred with a male Pokémon, it has a 60% chance of passing it down. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, a female Pokémon bred with a male Pokémon has an 80% chance of passing down its Ability slot (regardless of whether it is a Hidden Ability or not). From [[Generation VI]] onward, a female Pokémon has an 80% (60% for Hidden Ability) chance to pass down its Ability slot, regardless of whether it is bred with a male Pokémon or {{p|Ditto}}.

Since [[Generation VI]], it is possible for male and [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] Pokémon (such as {{p|Magnemite}}) to pass down their Ability if bred with a Ditto, in which case it has a 60% chance to pass down its Hidden Ability. They cannot pass down a Hidden Ability when bred with any Pokémon other than Ditto. Ditto's Ability is always irrelevant to inheritance.

If an Egg does not inherit its Ability from a parent, it can only be born with one of its non-Hidden Abilities.

==Ability-related effects==
Various items, moves, and Abilities can affect a Pokémon's Ability, usually in battle.

==Alternatives==
===Generation II===
Prior to Abilities' introduction, [[Generation II]] games already featured a mechanic similar to {{a|Pickup}} and {{a|Honey Gather}} uniquely available to a single Pokémon species: after each battle, a {{i|Berry}} held by a {{p|Shuckle}} can automatically transform into [[Berry Juice]]. No other Pokémon has this trait, and it hasn't been translated into an actual Ability in subsequent games.

===Generation VIII===
While Abilities are officially absent in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], the effects of {{a|Flower Gift}} and {{a|Slow Start}} are nonetheless applied to {{p|Cherrim}} and {{p|Regigigas}} respectively. [[Plate]]s are also available as [[Key Item]]s to replicate {{p|Arceus}}'s {{a|Multitype}}.

==In other games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{main|Mystery Dungeon game mechanics#Abilities|Mystery Dungeon game mechanics → Abilities}}

Abilities available in the core series games are also available in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. Some Abilities differ from their counterparts in the core series (e.g. {{a|Intimidate}} reduces the opposing Pokémon's Attack by 20%). Prior to [[Gates to Infinity]], Pokémon with two Abilities would have both rather than just one. There are no Hidden Abilities in Mystery Dungeon games.

===Pokémon Conquest===
{{main|List of Abilities (Conquest)}}

While most Pokémon species in [[Pokémon Conquest]] have access to three Abilities (similar to the main series, Hidden Abilities included), many of these Abilities are different from the main series due to differences in the battle system. For example, Abilities like {{a|Cute Charm}} and {{a|Rivalry}} do not exist in Pokémon Conquest (due to the game's lack of a [[gender]] mechanic), while other Abilities utilize mechanics unique to Pokémon Conquest battles (like "Sprint", which increases the user's movement {{stat|Range}}).

Like the main series, an individual Pokémon's Ability is dictated by its current species (i.e. evolutionary form) and may change during [[evolution]].

===Pokémon UNITE===
In {{g|UNITE}}, Abilities are similar to the main series. Every Pokémon with a Unite License uses one of their Abilities from the main series games as their Ability. Similarly, a Pokémon's Ability can change when it evolves, such as {{p|Tyranitar}} having [[Guts]] as a {{p|Larvitar}} and [[Shed Skin]] as a {{p|Pupitar}} before gaining [[Sand Stream]] as a Tyranitar. The effects of Abilties usually correlate to their main series counterparts, such as how [[Garchomp]]'s [[Rough Skin]] deals damage to opponents who hit it with [[physical]] melee attacks. However, this is not always the case, as [[Mewtwo]]'s [[Pressure]] only serves to enable its [[Mega Evolution]] instead of having an effect that lines up with its main series effect of reducing [[PP]]. Abilities often have multiple effects aside from adapting the main series Abilities. These effects can fill gauges or give the Pokémon resources that contribute to the effectiveness of its other attacks and [[move]]s. Many Abilities that trigger as a result of something happening, such as {{p|Pikachu}}'s [[Static]] activating when it takes damage, cannot trigger again until a cooldown period has passed.

==In the anime==
[[File:Harrison Kecleon Color Change.png|thumb|250px|{{jo|Harrison}}'s {{p|Kecleon}} activating {{a|Color Change}}]]
Abilities have been shown in the {{pkmn|anime}}, but are usually only used in {{pkmn|battle}}s; however, sometimes they have an effect on the plot, such as {{TP|Ash|Infernape}}'s {{a|Blaze}}. Abilities sometimes work differently in the anime than they would in the games, such as {{a|Mold Breaker}}, which in the anime cancels out more Abilities than it would in the games.

===[[Original series]]===
The only Ability that was seen in the original series was {{a|Color Change}}, being used by [[Madison and Alexa]]'s {{p|Kecleon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]''. It was later used by {{jo|Harrison}}'s Kecleon in ''[[EP271|Playing With Fire!]]''.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''===
The first Ability to be seen other than {{a|Color Change}} was {{a|Rough Skin}}, first seen in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''. It was used by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Sharpedo}}.

In ''[[AG033|Now That's Flower Power!]]'' a Kecleon used {{a|Color Change}}.

In ''[[AG039|A Poké-BLOCK Party!]]'', [[Alanna]]'s {{p|Whismur}} used its {{a|Soundproof}} Ability to stay awake and listen to {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s {{m|Sing|song}}.

[[Colonel Hansen]]'s {{p|Shedinja}} used {{a|Wonder Guard}} to protect itself against {{m|Spike Cannon}} by [[Misty's Corsola]] in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''.
[[File:Colonel Hansen Shedinja Wonder Guard.png|thumb|250px|[[Colonel Hansen]]'s {{p|Shedinja}} activating {{a|Wonder Guard}}]]
Two Abilities were seen in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', being used by [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Grovyle}}, using {{a|Static}} and {{a|Overgrow}} respectively.

[[Bart]]'s {{p|Castform}} used {{a|Forecast}} in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]'', turning into its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Castform|Sunny and Rainy Form]].

In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', [[Marcel]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}} possessed {{a|Vital Spirit}}, which prevented it from falling asleep while fighting a {{p|Snorlax}} that kept using {{m|Yawn}}.

Both {{a|Drizzle}} and {{a|Drought}} were seen in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'' respectively by {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}}.

In ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!]]'', [[Liza's Lunatone]] used {{a|Levitate}}.

In ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough]]'', [[Juan]]'s {{p|Luvdisc}} used {{a|Swift Swim}} to increase its speed.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===
Abilities proved important in the battles [[Paul]] and {{Ash}} had with [[Roark]]. During Paul's battle in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'', his {{TP|Paul|Elekid}} uses Static to paralyze Roark's {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Cranidos}} although the latter shakes it off with {{a|Mold Breaker}}. Paul also deliberately allows his {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}} to take extra damage so that it can activate Blaze. After Ash's first match with Roark ends in defeat, {{an|Brock}} briefly lends him {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'' because its Ability Rock Head makes it similar to Roark's Pokémon Onix, who also had the Ability. During Ash's rematch in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', Pikachu also activates Static against Roark's newly evolved {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}} and it is similarly ineffective.

In ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', [[Officer Jenny]]'s {{p|Stunky}} used {{a|Stench}} against {{TRT}}.

In ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'', Ash and Paul found themselves at a disadvantage during their first [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] because the {{p|Rhydon}} used by one of their opponents possessed {{a|Lightning Rod}}, rendering Pikachu's {{type|Electric}} [[move|attacks]] useless.

In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'' Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}} found Paul and {{cat|Paul's Pokémon|his other Pokémon}} evidently abusing his Chimchar, repeatedly attacking it until it eventually collapsed from exhaustion. When confronted, Paul explained that Chimchar actually wanted the brutal training regimen; when they first met, Chimchar was being attacked by wild {{p|Zangoose}} and when pushed to the limit it activated Blaze and defeated all of the Zangoose with {{m|Flame Wheel}}. This incredible power was what drove Paul to capture Chimchar in the first place and the two have been trying to replicate the experience ever since with no success.

{{a|Swift Swim}} was an important part of [[Ash's Buizel]] going toe to toe with [[Maylene's Lucario]] in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''

{{a|Blaze}} returned in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'' when Ash's Chimchar became enraged during a battle with [[Paul's Ursaring]]. It took considerable effort for Ash to return Chimchar to normal after it defeated Ursaring, causing Paul to leave the battle a draw. Paul told Ash that they would only battle again when and if Ash and Chimchar learned to control Blaze.

===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
[[File:Brawly Makuhita Thick Fat Adventures.png|thumb|200px|[[Brawly's Makuhita]] activating {{a|Thick Fat}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Parallel to their introduction in [[Generation III]] of the video games, Abilities were first introduced in the ''Ruby & Sapphire'' arc of [[Pokémon Adventures]].

{{adv|Wally}}'s {{p|Kecleon}} activated its {{a|Color Change}} Ability in ''[[PS187|Tongue-Tied Kecleon]]''.

[[Matt]]'s {{p|Sharpedo}} and {{adv|Amber}}'s {{p|Carvanha}} both activated {{a|Rough Skin}} in ''[[PS189|Mowing Down Ludicolo]]''. {{adv|Ruby}}'s {{p|Castform}}, [[Fofo]], first activated {{a|Forecast}} in the same chapter.

During {{adv|Sapphire}}'s battle with [[Roxanne]] in ''[[PS190|Blowing Past Nosepass I]]'', [[Roxanne's Nosepass]] proved superior to [[Rono]]. Worried that Rono would be defeated, Sapphire attempted to switch Rono out for [[Chic]] but was unable to. Roxanne explained that because her {{p|Nosepass}} has {{a|Magnet Pull}}, {{type|Steel}} Pokémon cannot switch out.

Ruby's first encounter with Abilities arrived in ''[[PS193|Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt! II]]'' when he and [[Mr. Briney]] were attacked by a wild {{p|Crawdaunt}}. [[Peeko]] tried to defeat him with {{m|Quick Attack}}, but the Crawdaunt's {{a|Shell Armor}} prevented it from doing much damage at all. After Mr. Briney fell unconscious, Ruby had [[Kiki]] use {{m|Double-Edge}} and infatuate Crawdaunt with her Ability, {{a|Cute Charm}}.

Sapphire later struggled against a potent counter Ability when she faced [[Brawly]] in ''[[PS195|Mashing Makuhita]]''. After Rono was quickly defeated by [[Brawly's Makuhita]], Chic used {{m|Flamethrower}} against {{p|Makuhita}}, but it had little effect due to his {{a|Thick Fat}} Ability.

While on their way to [[Slateport City]], Ruby and Sapphire were attacked by [[Courtney]] and [[Tabitha]] at the [[Abandoned Ship]] during ''[[PS199|Adding It Up with Plusle & Minun II]]''. They escaped with the help of a wild {{TP|Ruby|Plusle}} and {{TP|Sapphire|Minun}} after Ruby realized that their complimentary Abilities, {{a|Plus}} and {{a|Minus}}, greatly amplified their power when they fought together.

After [[Wattson]] is captured by the [[New Mauville]] generator, Sapphire devised a double battle strategy using his {{TP|Wattson|Electrike}} in ''[[PS205|Plugging Past Electrike II]]''. While Electrike did not have the moves to defeat the generator itself, and the wild {{p|Donphan}} that Wattson and the [[Trick Master]] had originally intended to capture would be quickly eradicated by its powerful attacks, Electrike's Ability, {{a|Lightning Rod}}, would allow him to redirect the bolt away from Donphan, buying Donphan enough time to destroy the generator with {{m|Rollout}}.

[[Archie]]'s {{p|Walrein}} activated {{a|Thick Fat}} during battle with [[Maxie]]'s {{p|Camerupt}} in ''[[PS230|Walrein and Camerupt]]''. Maxie's Camerupt activated {{a|Magma Armor}} during the same battle.

[[Brawly]]'s {{p|Machoke}} used {{a|Guts}} in ''[[PS247|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon IX]]''.

Sapphire's {{p||Lairon}}, [[Rono]], and her {{p|Donphan}}, Phado, both activated {{a|Sturdy}} to survive against a {{m|Sheer Cold}} attack from Archie's Walrein in ''[[PS248|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon X]]''.

[[Norman]]'s {{p|Spinda}} was revealed to have {{a|Own Tempo}} as his Ability in ''[[PS258|Rayquaza Redemption I]]'', but {{m|Skill Swap}}ped it with his {{TP|Norman|Slaking}}'s {{a|Truant}} Ability.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Ability (TCG)}}
Abilities under the name of Abilities did not appear in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} until the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion kicking off [[Generation V]]. However, this was merely a renaming of the longstanding [[Pokémon Power]]s. Pokémon Powers were very similar to Abilities, but were introduced much earlier, appearing in the very first {{TCG|Base Set}} during [[Generation I]]. In fact, some Abilities from the games originally appeared as Pokémon Powers.

With the introduction of the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, Pokémon Powers were split into two groups: Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies. Poké-Powers are special effects that the player must trigger or announce using. A Poké-Body's effect is a passive Ability that is always in effect. When Pokémon Powers were renamed to Abilities in {{TCG|Black and White}}, these distinctions were done away with.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Zygarde}} is the only Pokémon that has two standard Abilities but does not have a Hidden Ability.
* The unused Ability {{a|Cacophony}} was included in the coding for third-generation games as Ability #076 ({{a|Air Lock}} was #077). From the fourth generation, Cacophony was removed and Air Lock was renumbered as #076, with the new Abilities positioned from #077 onward.
* [[Generation III]] introduced the most Abilities, with a total of 76. [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest, with a total of 27.
* In Generation III, there is an unused Ability placeholder labeled as "-------" with the description "No special ability".
* Every Ability introduced in [[Generation VIII]] is a [[signature Ability]].

'''Iron Crown''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テツノカシラ''' ''Tetsunokashira'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Indigo Disk]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it appears to be a futuristic relative of {{p|Cobalion}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Iron Crown horns.png|250px|thumb|left|Iron Crown's blades extending while using {{m|Tachyon Cutter}}]]
Iron Crown is an armored turquoise Pokémon resembling a robotic {{wp|goat}}. The eyes are bright digital blue. The top of its luminous head has two yellow metal horns similar in shape to drills, with luminous patches that extend from the upper half of the horn. The horns can create two long bright blue blades that can extend before bending at the end. The metal snout is gray, and there is a luminous blaze running from its nose to the back of its head. The back of the head has a headpiece with a circle connected by two rectangle pieces. On its long neck and hind legs, there are small luminous spots. It has several other luminous patches on its body, emitting a faint blue aura. Iron Crown's face, parts of its neck, and underside are grey. The grey parts of its body have several dark grey lines connecting to different parts. On its shoulder blades are yellow metal protrusions that resemble fins. Iron Crown's legs are connected by four-leg armor parts. The lower legs have a luminous v-shape brand connecting to light armor and metal hooves.

Discovered in Area Zero, Its unknown what kind of Pokémon Iron Crown actually is.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/iron_crown/</ref> It resembles a mysterious object introduced in Occulture as a cutting-edge weapon shaped like a Cobalion. There was supposedly an incident in which it launched shining blades from its distinctive horns to mow down everything around it to pieces, though little else is known about it.<ref>[[Perrin]]: ''"Rumor has it that this fellow can fire off beams from its horns that'll cut through anything at all!"'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]])</ref>

According to [[Professor Turo|AI Turo]], Iron Crown is a future Pokémon and apparent relative of Cobalion that was [[Time travel|brought to the present]] in the depths of Area Zero through the [[time machine]] created by the real Professor Turo ten years ago.

Iron Crown is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Tachyon Cutter}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Violet Book Sword-Justice.png|200px|thumb|Sketch resembling [[Swords of Justice]] in the Violet Book]]
* Before the official reveal of Iron Crown, a sketch of an imaginary Pokémon similar to it appeared in the [[Violet Book]] in {{g|Violet}} as an amalgam of the [[Swords of Justice]] ({{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}).

===Origin===
Iron Crown is based on {{p|Cobalion}}. Its curved horns might be inspired by antelopes such as the {{wp|impala}}.

====Name origin====
Iron Crown is literally ''iron crown''.

Tetsunokashira can be taken literally as 鉄の頭 ''tetsu no kashira'' (iron head; iron leader).

'''Iron Boulder''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テツノイワオ''' ''Tetsunoiwao'') is a {{2t|Rock|Psychic}} [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Indigo Disk]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it appears to be a futuristic relative of {{p|Terrakion}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Iron Boulder Blades.png|200px|thumb|left|Iron Boulder's blades extending while using {{m|Mighty Cleave}}]]
Iron Boulder is a spherical, bull-like Pokémon coated in a reflective metal. It has a black, rounded forehead adorned with two brown, rotatable, axe-like horns that curve forward. The edge of the horns and the top of the head are colored bright orange blaze. The horns can transform into cleaves when attacking. Its face is grey with digital orange eyes and a short, metal snout. On top of its head are several short spikes. Down its back are two black, spine ridges that join just past its shoulders. It has a black circle surrounding its head. There are two orange metal protrusions on its shoulders. The orange blaze bands around its legs are the same color as its horns and forehead. It has grey metal hooves underneath these bands. Its striped underside is also beige. The grey parts of its body have several dark grey lines connecting to different parts. It has a short, stubby metal tail.

Iron Boulder stores laser energy within its sharp horns and was said to have once been an ordinary {{p|Terrakion}} modified by a [[Villainous team|villainous organization]]. Iron Boulder uses the charged energy within its axe horns to plow through anything within Iron Boulder's path<ref>[[Perrin]]: ''"Rumors say that this fellow charges its horns with energy, then uses them to plow through everything in its path!"'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]])</ref>. The name Iron Boulder originated from the mysterious object recorded in [[Violet Book]] as it was first discovered in [[Area Zero]].

According to [[Professor Turo|AI Turo]], Iron Boulder is a future Pokémon and apparent relative of Terrakion that was [[Time travel|brought to the present]] in the depths of Area Zero through the [[time machine]] created by the real Professor Turo ten years ago.

Iron Boulder is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Mighty Cleave}}.

'''Raging Bolt''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タケルライコ''' ''Takeruraiko'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Dragon}} [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Indigo Disk]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it appears to be an ancient relative of {{p|Raikou}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Raging Bolt mane.png|250px|thumb|left|Raging Bolt's mane unfolding]]
Raging Bolt is a quadrupedal, yellow, {{wp|sauropod}}-like Pokémon with black stripes and a white underside with red lines surrounding it. Raging Bolt's head is connected to a long neck with black stripes and a white bottom with red lines. It has a thin, light blue tail with sharp angles and a spark-shaped spiky ball at the end. It has three blue triangle spikes on the back. Most of its face consists of thick, white fur and shorter red fur around its blue eyes. The top of its head has seven tufts of hair shaped like a crown. Raging Bolt's muzzle is a light blue "X", the top part is shaped like lightning bolts. Its head has a black faceplate with two black spikes that cover its forehead, nose, and ears. The mouth has muzzle has two long fangs similar to {{wp|saber-toothed cat}}s. Its large claws converge to form a single point and never retract. The front feet have three red feathers connected to the red lines. The back feet have a red line surrounding the claws and feet. Raging Bolt's face is covered by a circle mane across its back that resembles dull purple rain clouds. The mane can extend to form a normal-looking mane.

It’s said to incinerate everything around it with lightning launched from its fur, and it is rumored that Raging Bolt does this by covering the skies with dark clouds before using its neck to strike down targets with crashing lighting, yet very little is known about this creature.<ref>[[Perrin]]: ''"Rumor has it that this fellow can cover the whole sky with dark clouds and bring lightning crashing down, just by swinging that long neck around!"'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]])</ref><ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/raging_bolt/</ref> Found in Area Zero, it bears resemblance to a Pokémon that became a hot topic for a short while after a paranormal magazine touted it as Raikou’s ancestor.

According to [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]], Raging Bolt is an ancient Pokémon and apparent relative of Raikou that was [[Time travel|brought to the present]] in the depths of Area Zero through the [[time machine]] created by the real Professor Sada 10 years ago.

Raging Bolt is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Thunderclap}}. In [[Generation IX]], {{m|Rising Voltage}} is also one of its signature moves.

==Trivia==
[[File:Scarlet Book Legendary-Beast.png|200px|thumb|Sketch resembling [[Legendary beasts]] in the Scarlet Book]]
* Before the official reveal of Raging Bolt, a sketch of an imaginary Pokémon similar to it appeared in the [[Scarlet Book]] in {{g|Scarlet}} as an amalgam of the [[Legendary beasts]] ({{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}).
* Raging Bolt is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Raging Bolt is the tallest [[Paradox Pokémon]] overall.

===Origin===
Raging Bolt is based on {{p|Raikou}}. It also resembles {{wp|sauropod}}s, such as the ''{{wp|Brontosaurus}}'' (whose name literally means "thunder lizard"), and {{wp|storm cloud}}s.

It may also be based on mythical creatures such as the ''{{wp|Qilin}}'', who shares the Japanese-to-English translation with {{wp|giraffe}}s, further explaining its long neck; and the {{wp|serpopard}}, a mythical animal resembling a leopard with a long, serpent-like neck. Raging Bolt may also take its inspiration from an archaic word for giraffe, ''camelopard'', which is derived from "camel" and "leopard".

It also may be a literal interpretation of the expression "[[wiktionary:head in the clouds|(to have your) head in the clouds]]", perhaps referencing the fantastical nature of Paradox Pokémon.

====Name origin====
Raging Bolt is literally ''raging bolt''.

Takeruraiko can be taken as 猛る雷鼓 ''takeru raiko'' (furious thunderclap). It may also come from ''{{p|Raikou}}''.

'''Raging Bolt''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タケルライコ''' ''Takeruraiko'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Dragon}} [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Indigo Disk]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it appears to be an ancient relative of {{p|Raikou}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Raging Bolt mane.png|250px|thumb|left|Raging Bolt's mane unfolding]]
Raging Bolt is a quadrupedal, yellow, {{wp|sauropod}}-like Pokémon with black stripes and a white underside with red lines surrounding it. Raging Bolt's head is connected to a long neck with black stripes and a white bottom with red lines. It has a thin, light blue tail with sharp angles and a spark-shaped spiky ball at the end. It has three blue triangle spikes on the back. Most of its face consists of thick, white fur and shorter red fur around its blue eyes. The top of its head has seven tufts of hair shaped like a crown. Raging Bolt's muzzle is a light blue "X", the top part is shaped like lightning bolts. Its head has a black faceplate with two black spikes that cover its forehead, nose, and ears. The mouth has muzzle has two long fangs similar to {{wp|saber-toothed cat}}s. Its large claws converge to form a single point and never retract. The front feet have three red feathers connected to the red lines. The back feet have a red line surrounding the claws and feet. Raging Bolt's face is covered by a circle mane across its back that resembles dull purple rain clouds. The mane can extend to form a normal-looking mane.

.

According to [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]], Raging Bolt is an ancient Pokémon and apparent relative of Raikou that was [[Time travel|brought to the present]] in the depths of Area Zero through the [[time machine]] created by the real Professor Sada 10 years ago.

It’s said to incinerate everything around it with lightning launched from its fur, and it is rumored that Raging Bolt does this by covering the skies with dark clouds before using its neck to strike down targets with crashing lighting, yet very little is known about this creature.<ref>[[Perrin]]: ''"Rumor has it that this fellow can cover the whole sky with dark clouds and bring lightning crashing down, just by swinging that long neck around!"'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]])</ref><ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/raging_bolt/</ref> Found in Area Zero, it bears resemblance to a Pokémon that became a hot topic for a short while after a paranormal magazine touted it as Raikou’s ancestor.

Raging Bolt is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Thunderclap}}. In [[Generation IX]], {{m|Rising Voltage}} is also one of its signature moves.

'''Gouging Fire''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウガツホムラ''' ''Ugatsuhomura'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Dragon}} [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Indigo Disk]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it appears to be an ancient relative of {{p|Entei}}.

==Biology==
Gouging Fire is massive {{wp|lion|leonine}}-{{wp|ceratopsia}} hybrid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some {{wp|mastiff}} qualities. It is covered in brown fur with three green spike lines on both back legs. There is cream belly fur on its chest. It has five grey spikes on its back and a long, light gray cloud of smoke running along its entire back, resembling a tail. Gouging Fire has four gray paws. The two front paws house three small, red claws. The paws are covered with brown pads and two black cuff-like bands on its front legs and the back legs have only one. Its main faceplate is red and shaped like fins or a four-sided star with a golden ceratopsian-shaped skull headpiece. The headpiece has five gold and yellow horns on each side. At the center is two green circles with two smaller red circles inside. A gray plate, resembling a horseshoe mustache, covers its muzzle. It has shorter green fur around its blue eyes.

There are scant few reports of this creature being sighted, though one short video shows it rampaging and spouting pillars of flame. It resembles an eerie Pokémon once shown once in Occulture, and it was said to be an Entei regenerated from a fossil, though its rumored that Gouging Fire can make magma on the ground erupt by roaring.<ref>[[Perrin]]: ''"There are rumors that say this fellow can make magma erupt from the ground by just roaring!"'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]])</ref>

According to [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]], Gouging Fire is an ancient Pokémon and apparent relative of Entei that was [[Time travel|brought to the present]] in the depths of Area Zero through the [[time machine]] created by the real Professor Sada ten years ago.

Gouging Fire is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Burning Bulwark}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Scarlet Book Legendary-Beast.png|200px|thumb|Sketch resembling [[Legendary beasts]] in the Scarlet Book]]
* Before the official reveal of Gouging Fire, a sketch of an imaginary Pokémon similar to it appeared in the [[Scarlet Book]] in {{g|Scarlet}} as an amalgam of the [[Legendary beasts]] ({{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}).
* Gouging Fire is the only Paradox Pokémon whose [[signature move]] is a [[status move]].
* Gouging Fire is the heaviest Paradox Pokémon overall.
* Gouging Fire can be considered the counterpart of {{p|Iron Boulder}} as both were not revealed until [[The Indigo Disk]] was released.

===Origin===
Gouging Fire is based on {{p|Entei}}. It also resembles {{wp|ceratopsia}}n dinosaurs, most notably the ''{{wp|Styracosaurus}}'' and ''{{wp|Sinoceratops}}'' due to both having a similar arrangement of horns around the head. Conceptually speaking, it could be inspired by the {{wp|Deccan Traps}}, a volcanic formation in India whose activity is theorized to have had a great influence on the extinction of dinosaurs. The Deccan Traps started being formed in the Cretaceous period, the era in which ceratopsians lived. Gouging Fire's resemblance to Entei would therefore come from Entei being associated with volcanoes.

====Name origin====
Gouging Fire is literally ''gouging fire''.

Ugatsuhomura can be taken literally as 穿つ炎 ''ugatsu homura'' (piercing flame).

==Trivia==
[[File:Scarlet Book Legendary-Beast.png|200px|thumb|Sketch resembling [[Legendary beasts]] in the Scarlet Book]]
* Before the official reveal of Gouging Fire, a sketch of an imaginary Pokémon similar to it appeared in the [[Scarlet Book]] in {{g|Scarlet}} as an amalgam of the [[Legendary beasts]] ({{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}).
* Gouging Fire is the only Paradox Pokémon whose [[signature move]] is a [[status move]].
* Gouging Fire is the heaviest Paradox Pokémon overall.
* Gouging Fire can be considered the counterpart of {{p|Iron Boulder}} as both were not revealed until [[The Indigo Disk]] was released.

===Origin===
Gouging Fire is based on {{p|Entei}}. It also resembles {{wp|ceratopsia}}n dinosaurs, most notably the ''{{wp|Styracosaurus}}'' and ''{{wp|Sinoceratops}}'' due to both having a similar arrangement of horns around the head. Conceptually speaking, it could be inspired by the {{wp|Deccan Traps}}, a volcanic formation in India whose activity is theorized to have had a great influence on the extinction of dinosaurs. The Deccan Traps started being formed in the Cretaceous period, the era in which ceratopsians lived. Gouging Fire's resemblance to Entei would therefore come from Entei being associated with volcanoes.

====Name origin====
Gouging Fire is literally ''gouging fire''.

Ugatsuhomura can be taken literally as 穿つ炎 ''ugatsu homura'' (piercing flame).

'''Gouging Fire''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウガツホムラ''' ''Ugatsuhomura'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Dragon}} [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Indigo Disk]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it appears to be an ancient relative of {{p|Entei}}.

==Biology==
Gouging Fire is massive {{wp|lion|leonine}}-{{wp|ceratopsia}} hybrid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some {{wp|mastiff}} qualities. It is covered in brown fur with three green spike lines on both back legs. There is cream belly fur on its chest. It has five grey spikes on its back and a long, light gray cloud of smoke running along its entire back, resembling a tail. Gouging Fire has four gray paws. The two front paws house three small, red claws. The paws are covered with brown pads and two black cuff-like bands on its front legs and the back legs have only one. Its main faceplate is red and shaped like fins or a four-sided star with a golden ceratopsian-shaped skull headpiece. The headpiece has five gold and yellow horns on each side. At the center is two green circles with two smaller red circles inside. A gray plate, resembling a horseshoe mustache, covers its muzzle. It has shorter green fur around its blue eyes.

There have been very few, rare sightings of Gouging Fire, as one video showed it rampaging while shooting pillars of flame. It is rumored that Gouging Fire can make magma on the ground erupt by roaring.<ref>[[Perrin]]: ''"There are rumors that say this fellow can make magma erupt from the ground by just roaring!"'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]])</ref> It shares a resemblance to an eerie Pokémon once shown in Occulture. It is believed to be an ancestor of {{p|Entei}} revived from a fossil as it was first discovered in [[Area Zero]].

According to [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]], Gouging Fire is an ancient Pokémon and apparent relative of Entei that was [[Time travel|brought to the present]] in the depths of Area Zero through the [[time machine]] created by the real Professor Sada ten years ago.

Gouging Fire is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Burning Bulwark}}.

Area Zero Underdepths

The '''Area Zero Underdepths''' (Japanese: '''ゼロの大空洞''' ''Great Zero Hollow'') is an area located within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] at the center of the [[Paldea]] [[region]].

==Geography==
The Area Zero Underdepths is a large underground expanse filled with large and beautiful crystals and a deep pit of darkness down below.

There are also tunnels connecting different parts of the cavern with Terastal crystals growing out of the rock. As it gets further inside, more and more crystals start to appear until the innermost tunnels are nothing but crystals as an entire large tree is covered in crystal.

There is quite a bit of water in the deepest parts, along with entire lakes.

Unsurprisingly, a few Pokémon also inhabit the Underdepths along with Terapagos, mostly those related to crystals.

According to the Professor, the Area Zero Underdepths may have been formed roughly two million years ago possibly by seismic activity.

==Special encounters==
===Mandatory Stellar Tera Pokémon===
A variety of {{t|Stellar}} Tera Pokémon must be defeated in order to shrink the crystals blocking the way during the events of [[The Indigo Disk]], allowing the player, [[Carmine]], [[Kieran]], and [[Briar]] to progress further into the Underdepths. None of them can be {{pkmn2|caught}}, and are coded to never be {{Shiny}}.

===Optional Stellar Tera Pokémon===

A {{p|Garchomp}} can be encountered and subsequently defeated in order to shrink a crystal in the room prior to one that wraps downwards in a staircase. It cannot be caught, and is coded to never be {{Shiny}}.

===Terapagos===
[[File:SV VS Stellar Form Terapagos.png|thumb|230px|Battling the Stellar Form Terapagos]]
After [[Kieran]] has been defeated, he will attempt to Terastalize Terapagos, causing it to become uncontrollable. The player must battle it with no opportunity to change teams or heal from the end of the previous battle; losing this battle will revert the game back to before the player's battle against Kieran. It must be caught by the player upon its defeat, and is coded to never be {{Shiny}}. Additionally, this Terapagos is always coded to be male, despite it having a [[gender]] ratio of one male to one female.

In the battle against Stellar Form Terapagos, it has four times the usual amount of health (with a large health bar across the top of the screen in a similar fashion to [[Titan Pokémon]] and [[Starmobile]]s, which identifies it as '''Terapagos, the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero'''), and unlimited PP for all of its moves, but its {{a|Teraform Zero}} ability does not function. Similar to a [[Tera Raid Battle]], it can put up a shield to become immune to many status moves and reduce the damage it takes from attacking moves, and the player will be unable to Terastallize their Pokémon until they charge the Tera Orb by hitting with a certain number of damaging moves, but only two attacks are required to charge it, instead of the three from standard Tera Raid Battles. Unlike Tera Raid Battles, there is no time limit and no cheering, and the player can switch Pokémon and use items from the Bag.

Terapagos will put up three shields over the course of the battle: one at the beginning, and the others immediately after the previous shield is broken. Each shield covers 27% of Terapagos's health bar, and if any attack deals enough damage to break the shield, all further damage from that attack (including from [[multi-strike move]]s) is prevented, similar to {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s [[Max Raid Battle]]s. When a new shield is put up, Terapagos is cured of any status condition, all stat modifiers to any Pokémon are erased (but other field effects such as [[weather]] and {{m|Light Screen}} remain in place), and if any of the player's Pokémon have been Terastallized, they lose that status. The Tera Orb must be recharged before the player can Terastallize a Pokémon again.

* In the first phase of the battle, Terapagos is {{t|Normal}} type, and Carmine participates as a partner using her Sinistcha. If Sinistcha faints, the player must continue the remainder of the phase alone. If Sinistcha has not yet fainted when the shield breaks, Terapagos will use {{m|Zen Headbutt}} at that time, and Sinistcha will automatically faint as a result, regardless of any effects that would prevent the move from being used, or would reduce the amount of damage dealt.
* In the second phase, Terapagos changes to a {{t|Psychic}} type, and the player must face it alone.
* In the third phase, Terapagos changes to a {{t|Water}} type, and Kieran joins as a partner using his remaining five Pokémon. Terapagos will remain Water type after the final shield is broken.

Area Zero Underdepths

The '''Area Zero Underdepths''' (Japanese: '''ゼロの大空洞''' ''Great Zero Hollow'') is an area located within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] at the center of the [[Paldea]] [[region]].

==Geography==
The Area Zero Underdepths is a large underground expanse filled with large and beautiful crystals and a deep pit of darkness down below.

There are also tunnels connecting different parts of the cavern with Terastal crystals growing out of the rock. As it gets further inside, more and more crystals start to appear until the innermost tunnels are nothing but crystals as an entire large tree is covered in crystal.

Unsurprisingly, a few Pokémon also inhabit the Underdepths along with Terapagos, mostly those related to crystals.

According to the Professor, the Area Zero Underdepths may have been formed roughly two million years ago possibly by seismic activity.

==Special encounters==
===Mandatory Stellar Tera Pokémon===
A variety of {{t|Stellar}} Tera Pokémon must be defeated in order to shrink the crystals blocking the way during the events of [[The Indigo Disk]], allowing the player, [[Carmine]], [[Kieran]], and [[Briar]] to progress further into the Underdepths. None of them can be {{pkmn2|caught}}, and are coded to never be {{Shiny}}.

After [[Kieran]] has been defeated, he will attempt to Terastalize Terapagos, causing it to become uncontrollable. The player must battle it with no opportunity to change teams or heal from the end of the previous battle; losing this battle will revert the game back to before the player's battle against Kieran. It must be caught by the player upon its defeat, and is coded to never be {{Shiny}}. Additionally, this Terapagos is always coded to be male, despite it having a [[gender]] ratio of one male to one female.

In the battle against Stellar Form Terapagos, it has four times the usual amount of health (with a large health bar across the top of the screen in a similar fashion to [[Titan Pokémon]] and [[Starmobile]]s, which identifies it as '''Terapagos, the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero'''), and unlimited PP for all of its moves, but its {{a|Teraform Zero}} ability does not function. Similar to a [[Tera Raid Battle]], it can put up a shield to become immune to many status moves and reduce the damage it takes from attacking moves, and the player will be unable to Terastallize their Pokémon until they charge the Tera Orb by hitting with a certain number of damaging moves, but only two attacks are required to charge it, instead of the three from standard Tera Raid Battles.

The '''Area Zero Underdepths''' (Japanese: '''ゼロの大空洞''' ''Great Zero Hollow'') is an area located within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] at the center of the [[Paldea]] [[region]].

==Geography==
The Area Zero Underdepths is a large underground expanse filled with large and beautiful crystals and a deep pit of darkness down below.

There are also tunnels connecting different parts of the cavern with Terastal crystals growing out of the rock. As it gets further inside, more and more crystals start to appear until the innermost tunnels are nothing but crystals as an entire large tree is covered in crystal.

Unsurprisingly, a few Pokémon also inhabit the Underdepths along with Terapagos, mostly those related to crystals.

According to the Professor, the Area Zero Underdepths may have been formed roughly two million years ago possibly by seismic activity.

===Mandatory Stellar Tera Pokémon===
A variety of {{t|Stellar}} Tera Pokémon must be defeated in order to shrink the crystals blocking the way during the events of [[The Indigo Disk]], allowing the player, [[Carmine]], [[Kieran]], and [[Briar]] to progress further into the Underdepths. None of them can be {{pkmn2|caught}}, and are coded to never be {{Shiny}}.

===Terapagos===
[[File:SV VS Stellar Form Terapagos.png|thumb|230px|Battling the Stellar Form Terapagos]]
After [[Kieran]] has been defeated, he will attempt to Terastalize Terapagos, causing it to become uncontrollable. The player must battle it with no opportunity to change teams or heal from the end of the previous battle; losing this battle will revert the game back to before the player's battle against Kieran. It must be caught by the player upon its defeat, and is coded to never be {{Shiny}}. Additionally, this Terapagos is always coded to be male, despite it having a [[gender]] ratio of one male to one female.

In the battle against Stellar Form Terapagos, it has four times the usual amount of health (with a large health bar across the top of the screen in a similar fashion to [[Titan Pokémon]] and [[Starmobile]]s, which identifies it as '''Terapagos, the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero'''), and unlimited PP for all of its moves, but its {{a|Teraform Zero}} ability does not function. Similar to a [[Tera Raid Battle]], it can put up a shield to become immune to many status moves and reduce the damage it takes from attacking moves, and the player will be unable to Terastallize their Pokémon until they charge the Tera Orb by hitting with a certain number of damaging moves, but only two attacks are required to charge it, instead of the three from standard Tera Raid Battles. Unlike Tera Raid Battles, there is no time limit and no cheering, and the player can switch Pokémon and use items from the Bag.

Terapagos will put up three shields over the course of the battle: one at the beginning, and the others immediately after the previous shield is broken. Each shield covers 27% of Terapagos's health bar, and if any attack deals enough damage to break the shield, all further damage from that attack (including from [[multi-strike move]]s) is prevented, similar to {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s [[Max Raid Battle]]s. When a new shield is put up, Terapagos is cured of any status condition, all stat modifiers to any Pokémon are erased (but other field effects such as [[weather]] and {{m|Light Screen}} remain in place), and if any of the player's Pokémon have been Terastallized, they lose that status. The Tera Orb must be recharged before the player can Terastallize a Pokémon again.

* In the first phase of the battle, Terapagos is {{t|Normal}} type, and Carmine participates as a partner using her Sinistcha. If Sinistcha faints, the player must continue the remainder of the phase alone. If Sinistcha has not yet fainted when the shield breaks, Terapagos will use {{m|Zen Headbutt}} at that time, and Sinistcha will automatically faint as a result, regardless of any effects that would prevent the move from being used, or would reduce the amount of damage dealt.
* In the second phase, Terapagos changes to a {{t|Psychic}} type, and the player must face it alone.
* In the third phase, Terapagos changes to a {{t|Water}} type, and Kieran joins as a partner using his remaining five Pokémon. Terapagos will remain Water type after the final shield is broken.

'''Iron Crown''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テツノカシラ''' ''Tetsunokashira'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Indigo Disk]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it appears to be a futuristic relative of {{p|Cobalion}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Iron Crown horns.png|250px|thumb|left|Iron Crown's blades extending.]]
Iron Crown is an armored turquoise Pokémon resembling a robotic {{wp|goat}}. The eyes are bright digital blue. The top of its luminous head has two yellow metal horns similar in shape to drills, with luminous patches that extend from the upper half of the horn. The horns can create two long bright blue blades that can extend before bending at the end. The metal snout is gray, and there is a luminous blaze running from its nose to the back of its head. The back of the head has a headpiece with a circle connected by two rectangle pieces. On its long neck and hind legs, there are small luminous spots. It has several other luminous patches on its body, emitting a faint blue aura. Iron Crown's face, parts of its neck, and underside are grey. The grey parts of its body have several dark grey lines connecting to different parts. On its shoulder blades are yellow metal protrusions that resemble fins. Iron Crown's legs are connected by four-leg armor parts. The lower legs have a luminous v-shape brand connecting to light armor and metal hooves.

It’s said that this Pokémon once mowed down everything around it by launching shining blades from its distinctive horns, but little else is known about it. It’s unknown what kind of Pokémon Iron Crown is.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/iron_crown/</ref> Iron Crown resembles a sketch made by a member of the Area Zero Expedition in the [[Violet Book]]. Said object was a cutting-edge weapon shaped like a futuristic descendent of {{p|Cobalion}}. Apparently, there was an incident where Iron Crown used its shining blades to cut everything around it to pieces. Iron Crown was first discovered in [[Area Zero]].

According to [[Professor Turo|AI Turo]], Iron Crown is a future Pokémon and apparent relative of Cobalion that was brought to the present in the depths of Area Zero through the [[Time travel|Time Machine]] created by the real Professor Turo ten years ago.

Iron Crown is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Tachyon Cutter}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Violet Book Sword-Justice.png|200px|thumb|Sketch resembling [[Swords of Justice]] in the Violet Book]]
* Before the official reveal of Iron Crown, a sketch of an imaginary Pokémon similar to it appeared in the [[Violet Book]] in {{g|Violet}} as an amalgam of the [[Swords of Justice]] ({{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}).

===Origin===
Iron Crown is based on {{p|Cobalion}}. Its curved horns might be inspired by antelopes such as the {{wp|impala}}.

====Name origin====
Iron Crown is literally ''iron crown''.

Tetsunokashira can be taken literally as 鉄の頭 ''tetsu no kashira'' (iron head; iron leader).

==Trivia==
[[File:Violet Book Sword-Justice.png|200px|thumb|Sketch resembling [[Swords of Justice]] in the Violet Book]]
* Before the official reveal of Iron Crown, a sketch of an imaginary Pokémon similar to it appeared in the [[Violet Book]] in {{g|Violet}} as an amalgam of the [[Swords of Justice]] ({{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}).

* Iron Crown is the only Pokémon to keep its eyes turned on when sleeping, though this may be a glitch.

===Origin===
Iron Crown is based on {{p|Cobalion}}. Its curved horns might be inspired by antelopes such as the {{wp|impala}}.

====Name origin====
Iron Crown is literally ''iron crown''.

Tetsunokashira can be taken literally as 鉄の頭 ''tetsu no kashira'' (iron head; iron leader).

'''Ultra Crater''' (Japanese: '''ウルトラバレー''' ''Ultra Valley'') is the home of {{p|Celesteela}}, accessible commonly through Rarity 3 warp holes and rarely through Rarity 2 warp holes in [[Ultra Warp Ride]], located more than several thousand {{wp|light-year}}s from Alola. It only appears in {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Moon}}.

==Geography==
The Ultra Crater is a large expansive world with several craters filled with a green substance. The land has what looks to be metal pipes growing as roots throughout the rock, most likely from the many Celesteela that have planted themselves there. A few red monoliths stick out of the ground as several geysers are also present shooting out steam. Several Celesteela are frequently present in the ground as the world is frequented by earthquakes due to Celesteela launching themselves out of the ground and into the sky. Large mountainous terrain is pictured in the background. The sky is actively yellow due to the geothermal activity from the geysers and the Celesteela.

==Special encounters==
===Pokémon Ultra Moon===
{{p|Celesteela}} can be encountered and caught here. One Celesteela will spawn per visit. Celesteela will appear as ??? and will not be registered as seen in the [[Pokédex]] until caught.

==Trivia==
* Celesteela absorb energy from the ground in this world, as hinted by their depiction in this world and their Ultra Sun [[Pokédex]] entry. They also glow and launch themselves into the sky, subsequently causing earthquakes, as shown in the first encounter with Celesteela in this world.

The Ultra Plant is a dark world that suffers from frequent lightning strikes from storm clouds that covers the sky. Large monoliths are visible protruding from the surface of the planet.

The two monoliths that the player arrives on to encounter Xurkitree at are connected by a giant Xurkitree appendage that glows and wraps around the landing zone and as lightning strike down in the area, the appendages light up as well, and smaller Xurkitree can be seen running around the area disconnected from the ground.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it is the place where [[Lusamine]] is confronted for the final time. The {{player}} and [[Lillie]] reach it through a portal [[Nebby]], now a {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}, creates after it evolves at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}}. The player can return to their world to prepare by talking to Solgaleo{{sup/7|S}}/Lunala{{sup/7|M}}.

==Geography==
Ultra Deep Sea is a dark world with many caves that include several colorful rocks in the shape of flora on the walls that resemble diamonds. The area that the player arrives in containes a small pathway that the player can navigate through. Nigilego can be actively seen traveling through the area. There is also a small rocky platform in the middle of the area that the player can sit on to attract the local Nihilego.

==Role==
===Pokémon Sun and Moon===
{{spoilers}}
The player and Lillie first arrive here to retrieve [[Guzma]] and [[Lusamine]] and save the [[Aether Foundation]] president from herself. Guzma stops them as they proceed forward, warning them of the dangers ahead. When he arrived in Ultra Space, he had tried to capture one of the [[Ultra Beast]]s, but it possessed him. Fully aware he was being controlled by something else, Guzma felt fear for the first time in his life. He then tells Lillie that Lusamine is too far gone, but Lillie is not deterred.

Further inside, five of the same Ultra Beasts appear in front of Lillie, before dispersing and revealing Lusamine. Lusamine reveals the true name of UB-01, {{p|Nihilego}}, and chastises her daughter for intruding on her paradise. Lillie tries to reason with her but is quickly shut down, told to leave, and disowned by Lusamine. Lillie finally stands up to her mother, saying that children are not just things that belong to parents, and that Pokémon aren't just things that belong to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Lusamine blames the player for Lillie's defiance, and releases a Nihilego from a [[Beast Ball]], merging with it before battling the player with the rest of her Pokémon.

After the player defeats Lusamine, Lillie calls Solgaleo{{sup/7|S}}/Lunala{{sup/7|M}} to help as the merged Lusamine/Nihilego prepares to attack her. The [[Legendary Pokémon]] roars, forcing Nihilego and Lusamine apart and sending the Ultra Beast back to its Ball. Exhausted, Lusamine falls to the floor, and Lillie runs to her mother. With the last of her strength, Lusamine asks her daughter when she became so beautiful before losing consciousness. Suddenly, the area grows unstable and Nihilego start surrounding the player, Lillie, Guzma, and Lusamine. Acting fast, Solgaleo{{sup/7|S}}/Lunala{{sup/7|M}} teleports the group out of Ultra Space before the Nihilego swarms can catch up to them.

It is impossible to return to Ultra Space after defeating Lusamine.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
Ultra Deep Sea can be accessed through Rarity 1 warp holes in [[Ultra Warp Ride]], within a couple of thousand {{wp|light-year}}s of Alola.

==Special encounters==
===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
{{p|Nihilego}} can be encountered and caught here, with the first being summoned by sitting in the spot [[Lusamine]] was seated in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}. One Nihilego will spawn per a visit. Nihilego will appear as ??? and will not be registered as seen in the [[Pokédex]] until caught.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ultra Deep Sea anime.png|thumb|250px|Ultra Deep Sea in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Ultra Deep Sea appeared in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'' and ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} traveled there with {{DL|Nebby|In the anime|Nebby}} in order to save {{an|Lusamine}}, who had been kidnapped and taken there by a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}}. Upon arrival, the group saw multiple {{p|Nihilego}} floating around, and soon discovered the one that had kidnapped Lusamine. Unfortunately, the {{an|Ultra Beasts|Ultra Beast}} had fused with Lusamine and was affecting her mental state, causing her to fall into childish tantrums and be unwilling to leave, sending out her Pokémon to battle the group. The group chose to split up to battle each Pokémon, with {{an|Kiawe}} battling Lusamine's {{p|Salazzle}}; {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Sophocles}} facing {{p|Milotic}}, {{p|Lilligant}}, and {{p|Mismagius}}; {{an|Gladion}} taking on {{p|Absol}}; and {{an|Lillie}} facing {{TP|Lusamine|Clefable}}. Like Lusamine herself, her Pokémon were also under Nihilego's influence, causing them to rise back up even when it seemed like they were finally beaten. Lillie managed to use her [[Poké Doll]] to reignite Clefable's memories of their past together, allowing her to return Clefable back to normal.

While his friends stayed behind, Ash pursued Lusamine herself. Eventually, Lillie and Gladion joined him, and Lillie gave her mother a speech which seemed to start breaking her out of Nihilego's influence. Unfortunately, the [[Pokémon category|Parasite Pokémon]] then took complete control of her, not wanting to let go of its host. As Gladion had already used {{m|Continental Crush}} earlier during his battle with Absol and thus exhausted his chance to use a [[Z-Move]], he left the battle against the Ultra Beast to Ash. Unexpectedly, Ash's [[Electrium Z]] suddenly transformed into [[Pikashunium Z]], allowing him and {{AP|Pikachu}} to use a new Z-Move, which Ash dubbed {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. This massive attack was powerful enough to defeat the Ultra Beast, causing it and Lusamine to be separated and the rest of Lusamine's Pokémon to return to normal as well. Afterwards, everybody rode Nebby back to their own {{pkmn|world}}.

In ''[[JN111|The Homecoming Crown!]]'', it was revealed that [[Mohn]] had wound up at the Ultra Deep Sea after disappearing into an [[Ultra Wormhole]] years earlier. He had been rescued by a {{Shiny}} Nihilego, who took him back to his own world through another wormhole.

===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
Ultra Deep Sea first appeared in ''[[PASM26|Adventure in the Dark Dimension]]''. {{adv|Sun}} and {{adv|Moon}} arrived there after getting separated from {{DL|Nebby|In the manga|Lunala}} in their attempt to rescue {{p|Solgaleo}} after it was possessed by {{p|Necrozma}}. They spent six months there, only surviving because their bodies stopped needing food and getting sick while they remained in the area. Sometime later, they spotted Lunala arriving at the area, only to find that it was being [[Ultra Warp Ride|ridden]] by [[Dulse]] and [[Zossie]] of the [[Ultra Recon Squad]]. When Sun heard them talking about their work with the [[Aether Foundation]], he assumed them to be enemies and tried to attack them, but Moon managed to calm the situation down. Eventually, Dulse agreed to stay behind so that Sun and Moon could ride Lunala with Zossie and travel to [[Ultra Megalopolis]].

* In Pokémon Sun and Moon, if a {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Cubone}}, or {{p|Exeggcute}} is evolved here, it will evolve into an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Marowak}}, or {{p|Exeggutor}}, respectively. However, in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, these Pokémon will instead evolve into their Kantonian forms.

'''Kyurem''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キュレム''' ''Kyurem'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ice}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Kyurem has two alternate [[#Form data|forms]], which are activated by using the [[DNA Splicers]] on it and either {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}, resulting in a process called '''Absofusion''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|吸収合体|きゅうしゅうがったい}}''' ''Absorb Union''), which removes Reshiram or Zekrom from the party until the fusion is undone. It will then become '''White Kyurem''' when fused with Reshiram or '''Black Kyurem''' when fused with Zekrom.

(Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for more details.)

Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom are often collectively referred to as the [[Tao trio]] by fans. The group is referred to in the [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|myths and legends]] of the [[Unova]] region.

Kyurem is the [[game mascot]] of both {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2}}, appearing on the boxart of Black 2 as Black Kyurem and White 2 as White Kyurem.

==Biology==
Kyurem is a gray and blue, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of indefinable but seemingly draconic basis. Kyurem has a blue head and snout and has yellow eyes without pupils, has a pair of pointed light bluish horns on its head, and a yellow crest on its skull that is bioluminescent. Three pointed teeth jut out the bottom of either side of its jaws, which are frozen shut by the ice covering its head. Its long, gray neck has lines running around its whole body, legs, arms, and tail. It has two arms, each with its own claw, and each arm is jointed together from its oddly shaped blue wings, which are believed to be used for flying and storing cold air and each wing has two spikes of ice that is also bioluminescent. The ice covering the wings can break, revealing gray tendril-like appendages on Kyurem's back.

The right side of its body seems to be damaged in some way, as the wing and horn on its head on that side are shorter; the right side of its head also has a spiked edge near its jaw hinge that is absent from its left. Its legs are somewhat slender and have three sharp ice-like claws on each enormous foot. Its tail has three blue conical spikes on its tip, and appears to be some sort of propulsion device or a container of energy; exactly what it is based on is unclear, but it may be a damaged turbine.

Kyurem generates powerful, freezing energy inside itself, but its body became frozen when the energy leaked out. By keeping its body frozen, the cellular structure will remain stable. It is said to have a power that exceeds that of {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}; however, this power is kept at bay by the extreme cold. Due to an old legend, it may be assumed Kyurem may be hostile towards Pokémon and humans, due to the fact it supposedly ate them if they were found outside at night. It is said to be an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]], according to folklore. According to [[M15|anime]], Kyurem is considered one of the strongest {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon in the world. Kyurem is powerful enough to cover an entire region it resides in ice, potentially freezing it.

Kyurem is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Glaciate}} by leveling up.

===Forms===
Kyurem has two alternate forms: White Kyurem and Black Kyurem, which are formed by combining with {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, respectively, sharing many aspects of their designs with them. It can use Absofusion on their respective [[Dragon Stones]] to change to White or Black Kyurem. The reason for this is due to Kyurem retaining the gene of the other dragons which allows said fusion. As a result, Kyurem also shares Reshiram's or Zekrom's beliefs in truth or ideals, respectively, when fused with either of the two dragons. In ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', Kyurem can also change into Black Kyurem or White Kyurem without fusing by channeling the powers of both Reshiram and Zekrom it has within itself.

Kyurem's forms have several [[signature move]]s: White Kyurem is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Ice Burn}}; White Kyurem and Reshiram are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Fusion Flare}} by leveling up; Black Kyurem is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Freeze Shock}}; and Black Kyurem and Zekrom are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Fusion Bolt}} by leveling up. These forms also have two different [[Signature Ability|signature Abilities]]: White Kyurem and Reshiram are the only known Pokémon that can have {{a|Turboblaze}} as an [[Ability]], while Black Kyurem and Zekrom are the only known Pokémon that can have {{a|Teravolt}} as an Ability.

;White Kyurem
[[File:646Kyurem-White2.png|thumb|175px|White Kyurem in Overdrive mode]]
White Kyurem resembles a hybrid version of itself and Reshiram. When transformed into White Kyurem, its legs are just like the original, but shorter, and the middle toe becomes ice. As White Kyurem, it has some extra icy details on the legs. Its tail resembles that of Reshiram but is attached to the body with three gray parts of the skin. The tail is capable of movement and contains four holes. They are horizontal on White Kyurem. White Kyurem's torso is slimmer Its shoulders are covered in 'squares' of ice with two pins protruding from each which can come out and 'plug into' the aforementioned holes. As White Kyurem, it has thin arms with two rings and three claws each, wings between the rings on its forearms, and its right arm and wing are frozen. Its neck is the same shape but becomes upright due to White Kyurem using Reshiram's fur.

The ice covering Kyurem's upper jaws has partially disappeared, allowing it to move its mouth. During a battle, White Kyurem enters {{form|Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem|Overdrive mode}}, and tubes sprout from its back to its tail. In White Kyurem's case, the ends of its hair and wings become fiery and its tail acquires fiery highlights.

White Kyurem can use both the power of fire and ice due to fusing with Reshiram. White Kyurem can fly using its wings and the jet engine-like tail. Due to Reshiram's influence, White Kyurem firmly believes in truth. Due to foreseeing a world of truth, it will fight to protect said future for both humans and Pokémon.

;Black Kyurem
[[File:646Kyurem-Black2.png|thumb|175px|Black Kyurem in Overdrive mode]]
Black Kyurem resembles a hybrid version of itself and Zekrom. When transformed into Black Kyurem, its legs are just like the original, but shorter, and the middle toe becomes ice. Its tail resembles that of Zekrom but is attached to the body with three gray parts of the skin. The tail is capable of movement and contains four holes: they are vertical on Black Kyurem. Black Kyurem's torso is bulkier. Its shoulders are covered in 'squares' of ice with two pins protruding from each which can come out and 'plug into' the aforementioned holes. As Black Kyurem, it has Zekrom's arms, but they are more muscular and without wings, and its left arm and wing are frozen. Its neck is the same shape but becomes upright due to Black Kyurem using Zekrom's skin.

The ice covering Kyurem's lower jaws has partially disappeared, allowing it to move its mouth. During a battle, Black Kyurem and White Kyurem enter {{form|Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem|Overdrive mode}}, and tubes sprout from its back to its tail. In Black Kyurem's case, parts of its right arm and the tip of the horn on the back of its head turn blue, while its tail lights up with electricity.

Black Kyurem can use the power of both electricity and ice due to fusing with Zekrom. Black Kyurem can fly using an anti-gravity field through its generator-like tail. Due to Zekrom's influence, Black Kyurem firmly believes in ideals. Due to foreseeing an ideal world, it will fight to protect said future for both humans and Pokémon.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Kyurem (M15)]]=====
Kyurem debuted in all three of its forms in ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]''. It was challenged by {{OBP|Keldeo|M15}}, who wasn't ready to fight it, but arrogantly claimed that he was a Sword of Justice. After the terrified Keldeo fled during the middle of the fight, Kyurem relentlessly pursued Keldeo in order to finish the battle they had started. Along with the other Legendary Pokémon present in the movie, Kyurem can [[Talking Pokémon|speak through telepathy]].

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

[[File:Kyurem 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|200px|Kyurem trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
Normal Form Kyurem also appears as a trophy in both games.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''While this Dragon/Ice-type Pokémon is definitely a Pokémon, some believe it is what remained after Reshiram and Zekrom were split apart. In battle, it will generate incredibly cold energy and then unleash it using Icy Wind. This move will deal constant damage before freezing opponents. ''

'''PAL''': ''Kyurem is thought to be an empty shell left behind when Reshiram and Zekrom split into two. Its icy energy is so powerful that it can freeze its own body. When Kyurem has built up enough energy, it can unleash Icy Wind, shooting spirals of cold left and right. After damaging fighters, this attack with leave them frozen.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Kyurem returns as a Pokémon summoned from the {{i|Poké Ball}}, retaining its behavior from the previous game. All three of its forms also appear as {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirits}}.

Starting in [[Generation VIII]], Kyurem can learn {{m|Scary Face}} even if fused. In that case, if Kyurem becomes unfused while knowing Scary Face, it will forget this move before the fusion move ({{m|Fusion Bolt}} or {{m|Fusion Flare}}) is replaced with Scary Face.

===Form data===
Kyurem, in addition to its standard form, has two other forms: White Kyurem and Black Kyurem. They are the [[game mascot]]s of {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, which they were introduced in.

Kyurem changes its form through the use of the [[DNA Splicers]], which fuses it with {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}. The combination retains Kyurem's attributes, such as its [[level]], [[Poké Ball]], [[held item]], [[game of origin]], [[personality value]], {{IV}}s, {{EV}}s, [[nickname]], [[original Trainer|OT]], [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID number, secret ID number]], met location, [[Pokérus]], and so on. This fusion can be reversed by using the DNA Splicers again, with Reshiram or Zekrom remaining unaltered from before being fused, including whatever item it may have been holding. The DNA Splicers can only fuse one Kyurem at a time. White Kyurem and Black Kyurem cannot be deposited into {{g|Bank}} or {{g|HOME}}, nor can they be [[trade]]d or {{pkmn2|released}} without having the fusion undone first.

}}

White Kyurem has the [[Ability]] {{a|Turboblaze}} and learns the [[move]]s {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Ice Burn}} by leveling up, and its [[cry]] is a combination of standard Kyurem and Reshiram's cries. Black Kyurem has the Ability {{a|Teravolt}} and learns the moves {{m|Fusion Bolt}} and {{m|Freeze Shock}} by leveling up, and its cry is a combination of standard Kyurem and Zekrom's cries.

When Kyurem becomes fused with or separated from either Reshiram or Zekrom while it knows certain moves, Kyurem's move set will automatically be updated without prompting the player. Fusing Kyurem will replace {{m|Scary Face}} with either Fusion Bolt or Fusion Flare, and replace {{m|Glaciate}} with either Freeze Shock or Ice Burn if one or both of these moves are present. Reversing the fusion will perform the inverse of these move transformations. In [[Generation VIII]], it is possible for Kyurem to learn Scary Face by [[TM]] after becoming fused; in these games, if Kyurem becomes unfused while it knows both Scary Face and the fusion move, the fusion move will change back to Scary Face and then all but the earliest instance of Scary Face will be deleted from the move set, to prevent having duplicate copies of the same move.

==Trivia==
* White Kyurem and Black Kyurem both have the highest [[Base stats|base stat]] total of all {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* White Kyurem has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all Ice-type Pokémon, while Black Kyurem has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all Ice-type Pokémon.
* White Kyurem is the tallest Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
* Kyurem has the most separate [[Cry|cries]] used in-game, with a total of five. It has one for each form and two longer cries that play in stereo.
* In its base form, Kyurem is the only Pokémon with an [[Effort values|effort value]] [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|yield]] of 1 HP, 1 Attack, and 1 Special Attack.
* White Kyurem and Black Kyurem will not react if whistled at in the [[Isle of Armor]] or the [[Crown Tundra]], as only their Overdrive Modes have attack animations. They share this distinction with {{p|Xerneas}}.
* Of the Pokémon capable of fusion with another Pokémon, Kyurem is the only one whose fused forms do not have different typing than its base form. It is also the only one which does not learn a new move in the standard manner upon fusing, as Glaciate and Scary Face are respectively replaced with Freeze Shock and Fusion Bolt or Ice Burn and Fusion Flare upon fusion.

===Origin===
Kyurem and its two counterparts {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}. Kyurem, however, symbolizes {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}}, the absence of yin and yang. In regards to overall design, it appears to be based on a {{wp|Theropoda|theropod}} and a {{wp|European dragon}}, similar to Zekrom. Its arms in particular seem to be influenced by ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}''. Its {{t|Ice}}-typing may allude to the absence of energy and the concept of {{wp|absolute zero}}. Its rock-like body and origin story of arriving on Earth like a meteor are references to comets, which are largely composed of ice crystals.

Given that its Japanese name contains mu, it may be based on the ''{{wp|kōan}}'' {{wp|Mu (negative)|mu}}.

====Name origin====
Kyurem may be derived from 急冷 ''kyūrei'' (rapid cooling). It may also involve 冷 ''rei'' (cold), 零 ''rei'' (zero), or 雪 ''yuki'' (snow) with the {{wp|kana}} reversed, and 無 ''{{wp|Mu (negative)|mu}}'' (nothing). ''Rem'' may also mimic the ''rom'' of {{p|Zekrom}} and the ''ram'' of {{p|Reshiram}}.

[[File:The Teal Mask Key Art.png|thumb|300px|Art featuring Kitakami in [[The Teal Mask]]]]
The '''land of Kitakami''' (Japanese: '''キタカミの里''' ''Land of Kitakami''), known simply as '''Kitakami''', is a region featured in [[The Teal Mask]] expansion for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

==In the games==
A great mountain towers over the land of Kitakami, and the people live at its base. It is a place of tranquil natural expanses, featuring rice paddies and apple orchards.<ref name=NewAdv>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/dlc_part_1_2/ ''Your New Adventures Will Take Place in the Land of Kitakami and Blueberry Academy''. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet official website.</ref> The {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}} were revered as heroes, Loyal Three by the people of the village for having protected the land of Kitakami in the past.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/new_pokemon/ ''Introducing the Legendary Pokémon You’ll Meet in This DLC''. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet official website.</ref>

The {{player}} is taken to Kitakami on a school trip to join an outdoors study opportunity held jointly between the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} and [[Blueberry Academy]].<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/dlc_intro/ ''DLC Is Coming: The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet''. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet official website.</ref> The trip coincides with a seasonal festival that is regularly held in the village in Kitakami, during which the village is bustling with various street vendors and stalls.<ref name=NewAdv/> During the trip, the player meets BB students [[Kieran]] and his older sister [[Carmine]], who both grew up in Kitakami.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/new_characters/ ''Characters Featured in This DLC''. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet official website.</ref>

==Geography==
Kitakami is a landlocked region that is mostly mountainous, as a large mountain comprises most of the region, though some rivers are present at the top of the mountain and around it on the east side, some even leading outside of the region. There is a town at the base of the mountain, being one of, if not the only, town or city in Kitakami.

Kitakami is described as being far away from Paldea, where the main player is originally from.

===Demographics===
Most of the people there are naturally born citizens there, like the Ogerpon's mask-maker, though rarely they will have tourists there like Professor Briar who hails from the Unova region, though most, if not all, of the native Kitakamians did not like them there. After the events of the Teal Mask, however, did they start liking having tourists there.
===Notable locations===
Some notable locations around Kitakami include:

• The "Loyal Three"'s burial site, of which they were revived from

• Oni's Maw in Oni Mountain

• 3 message boards that tell a false version of the tale of Ogerpon and the "Loyal Three"

• Kitakami Hall, where Ogerpon's masks were stored before the "Loyal Three" were revived

==Trivia==
*Kitakami has the longest name out of all the regions in the core series, with it being eight letters long.
===Origin===
[[File:Pikachu Ogerpon Nebuta WCS23.jpeg|thumb|300px|To promote [[The Teal Mask]], {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Ogerpon}} appeared at the 2023 {{wp|Aomori Nebuta Matsuri}} as a float. The festival is the largest in the {{wp|Tohoku region}}. The choice to showcase the Nebuta at the [[2023 World Championships]] in Yokohama leans to the idea of the real life region of {{wp|Tohoku region}} of Japan bearing a close resemblance to Kitakami.]]


* The culture of Kitakami resembles Japanese culture with the main characters of the story wearing clothing known as a {{wp|Jinbei|jinbei (甚平)}}. The architecture of the houses as seen in Kitakami also resemble typical Japanese houses.
* Food stalls (or {{wp|Yatai (food cart)|Yatai (屋台)}}) can be seen around the shrine, of Shinto style. The path is flanked by stone lanterns similar to {{wp|Stone lantern|Ishidoro (石灯籠)}} in Japanese culture. Paper lanterns called {{wp|Traditional lighting equipment of Japan#Chōchin|Chōchin (提灯)}} can also be seen.
* The main characters of the story also participate in the Festival of Masks in Kitakami Hall, similar to {{wp|Japanese festivals|matsuri (祭り)}} in Japan with its ties to spirtual animals, spirits, and/or deities according to ancient folklore. In the case of Kitakami, the summer festival celebrates "The Loyal Three" ({{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}}) the Pokémon that protected Kitakami from the "Ogre" ({{p|Ogerpon}}). This story is similar to the Japanese folk tale of {{wp|Momotarō|Momotarō (桃太郎)}}, where a boy born from a peach who grows up to vanquish some ogres.
*The name of the {{wp|Iwate Prefecture}} in the {{wp|Tohoku Region}} means Rock (Iwa) Hand (Te). This comes a story where a deity names Mitsuishi (Three Rocks) vanquished an ogre called Rasetsu, who left an imprint of its hand on a large boulder on Mt. Nansho.<ref>[https://www.pref.iwate.jp/kyouikubunka/kokusai/1006971/1006978/1006979.html Origin of the name “Iwate”]</ref> This bears resemblance to the Loyal Three vanquishing {{p|Ogerpon}}.
*The culture of one of the largest festivals in the Tohoku region, {{wp|Aomori Nebuta Matsuri}}, is very similar to the themes explored in [[The Teal Mask]] (i.e. ogres appearing in many floats, which are typically depicted by humans by wearing a mask, reminiscent of [[Ogerpon]].) Alongside these cultural similarities, a real life nebuta float of {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Ogerpon}} appeared at the 2023 Aomori Nebuta festival.
* {{p|Ogerpon}} wears a mask, which could be a reference to {{wp|Devil's Sword Dance|Onikenbai (鬼剣舞)}} (lit. Ogre's Sword Dance), a traditional mask-wearing folk performance from the real-world {{wp|Kitakami, Iwate}}. This city is also home to a large traditional mask museum called Oni no Yakata (lit. Ogre's Museum).<ref>[https://japantravel.navitime.com/en/area/jp/spot/02301-14400444/ Oni no Yakata]</ref>
* {{p|Ogerpon}} could be inspired by {{wp|Menreiki|Menreiki (面霊気)}} which is a “mask essence” (or a {{wp| Yokai|Yokai (妖怪)}} born from a collection of masks). In the {{wp|Tohoku region}} of Japan, it is considered a form of {{wp|Tsukumogami|Tsukumogami (付喪神)}}.
* The Loyal Three are revered through small statues wearing red bibs, similar to that of {{wp|Kṣitigarbha#Japanese traditions|Ojizo-sama (お地蔵さま)}} or {{wp|Kitsune|Kitsune (きつね)}} found across Japan. The colour red is believed to ward off evil spirits in Japanese culture.<ref>[https://traditionalkyoto.com/culture/figures/inari-foxes/ Inari Foxes]</ref>
*{{p|Okidogi}} may be inspired by the large Japanese dog, {{wp|Akita (dog)|Akita}}. "{{p|Okidogi}}" is also a portmanteu of "Ooki" meaning "big" in Japanese and "Doggy". The Akita dog also originates from {{wp|Akita Prefecture}} in the Tohoku region of Japan, where Kitakami may be inspired from.
*{{p|Munkidori}} may be inspired by the {{wp|Japanese macaque}} which originate from {{wp|Aomori Prefecture}} of the {{wp|Tohoku region}}.
*{{p|Fezandipiti}} may be inspired by the Japanese Green Pheasant, {{wp|Green pheasant|Kiji}}. The Kiji is also Iwate Prefecture's symbolic bird<ref>[https://www.pref.iwate.jp/kids/1002230.html Iwate Prefecture Symbols]</ref>. Fezandipiti's Japanese name is "Kichikigisu", which contains the word "kigisu". Kigisu is an archaic reading for pheasant.
*{{p|Dipplin}}, the evolution of {{p|Applin}} also features in Kitakami. Sweet apples are often served during summer festivals in Japan. With {{wp|Aomori Prefecture}} being the largest producer of Apples in Japan, it is well known for its Apples around the world. As such, it is possible that Aomori's apples were the inspiration behind Dipplin. The trailer of the Teal Mask also heavily showcases an apple orchard, apple consumption, and a photoshoot with an Apple cutout board.
*{{p|Poltchageist}} is inspired from {{wp|Tsukumogami|Tsukumogami (付喪神)}} which is a spirit (or {{wp| Yokai|Yokai (妖怪)}}) that is born from every-day inanimate objects, which is typical concept in Japanese Shinto belief.
*Kitakami features a large mountain which can be scaled. This could be inspired by {{wp|Mount Iwaki|Mt. Iwaki}}, which means "God's Home" (カムィイワキ) in the local Ainu language. Mt. Iwaki is also known as the "Northern Fuji" due to its similar apperance. The reference to a deity and the north is similar to Kitakami, which means "Northern God".

==Geography==
Kitakami is a landlocked region that is mostly mountainous, as a large mountain comprises most of the region, though some rivers are present at the top of the mountain and around it on the east side, some even leading outside of the region. There is a town at the base of the mountain, being one of, if not the only, town or city in Kitakami.

Kitakami is described as being far away from Paldea, where the main player is originally from.

===Demographics===
Most of the people there are naturally born citizens there, like the Ogerpon's mask-maker, though rarely they will have tourists there like Professor Briar who hails from the Unova region, though most, if not all, of the native Kitakamians did not like them there. After the events of the Teal Mask, however, did they start liking having tourists there.
===Notable locations===
Notable locations around Kitakami include:

• The "Loyal Three"'s burial site, of which they were revived from

• Oni's Maw in Oni Mountain

• 3 message boards that tell a false version of the tale of Ogerpon and the "Loyal Three"

• Kitakami Hall, where Ogerpon's masks were stored before the "Loyal Three" were revived

==Trivia==
*Kitakami has the longest name out of all the regions in the core series, with it being eight letters long.
===Origin===
[[File:Pikachu Ogerpon Nebuta WCS23.jpeg|thumb|300px|To promote [[The Teal Mask]], {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Ogerpon}} appeared at the 2023 {{wp|Aomori Nebuta Matsuri}} as a float. The festival is the largest in the {{wp|Tohoku region}}. The choice to showcase the Nebuta at the [[2023 World Championships]] in Yokohama leans to the idea of the real life region of {{wp|Tohoku region}} of Japan bearing a close resemblance to Kitakami.]]


* The culture of Kitakami resembles Japanese culture with the main characters of the story wearing clothing known as a {{wp|Jinbei|jinbei (甚平)}}. The architecture of the houses as seen in Kitakami also resemble typical Japanese houses.
* Food stalls (or {{wp|Yatai (food cart)|Yatai (屋台)}}) can be seen around the shrine, of Shinto style. The path is flanked by stone lanterns similar to {{wp|Stone lantern|Ishidoro (石灯籠)}} in Japanese culture. Paper lanterns called {{wp|Traditional lighting equipment of Japan#Chōchin|Chōchin (提灯)}} can also be seen.
* The main characters of the story also participate in the Festival of Masks in Kitakami Hall, similar to {{wp|Japanese festivals|matsuri (祭り)}} in Japan with its ties to spirtual animals, spirits, and/or deities according to ancient folklore. In the case of Kitakami, the summer festival celebrates "The Loyal Three" ({{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}}) the Pokémon that protected Kitakami from the "Ogre" ({{p|Ogerpon}}). This story is similar to the Japanese folk tale of {{wp|Momotarō|Momotarō (桃太郎)}}, where a boy born from a peach who grows up to vanquish some ogres.
*The name of the {{wp|Iwate Prefecture}} in the {{wp|Tohoku Region}} means Rock (Iwa) Hand (Te). This comes a story where a deity names Mitsuishi (Three Rocks) vanquished an ogre called Rasetsu, who left an imprint of its hand on a large boulder on Mt. Nansho.<ref>[https://www.pref.iwate.jp/kyouikubunka/kokusai/1006971/1006978/1006979.html Origin of the name “Iwate”]</ref> This bears resemblance to the Loyal Three vanquishing {{p|Ogerpon}}.
*The culture of one of the largest festivals in the Tohoku region, {{wp|Aomori Nebuta Matsuri}}, is very similar to the themes explored in [[The Teal Mask]] (i.e. ogres appearing in many floats, which are typically depicted by humans by wearing a mask, reminiscent of [[Ogerpon]].) Alongside these cultural similarities, a real life nebuta float of {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Ogerpon}} appeared at the 2023 Aomori Nebuta festival.
* {{p|Ogerpon}} wears a mask, which could be a reference to {{wp|Devil's Sword Dance|Onikenbai (鬼剣舞)}} (lit. Ogre's Sword Dance), a traditional mask-wearing folk performance from the real-world {{wp|Kitakami, Iwate}}. This city is also home to a large traditional mask museum called Oni no Yakata (lit. Ogre's Museum).<ref>[https://japantravel.navitime.com/en/area/jp/spot/02301-14400444/ Oni no Yakata]</ref>
* {{p|Ogerpon}} could be inspired by {{wp|Menreiki|Menreiki (面霊気)}} which is a “mask essence” (or a {{wp| Yokai|Yokai (妖怪)}} born from a collection of masks). In the {{wp|Tohoku region}} of Japan, it is considered a form of {{wp|Tsukumogami|Tsukumogami (付喪神)}}.
* The Loyal Three are revered through small statues wearing red bibs, similar to that of {{wp|Kṣitigarbha#Japanese traditions|Ojizo-sama (お地蔵さま)}} or {{wp|Kitsune|Kitsune (きつね)}} found across Japan. The colour red is believed to ward off evil spirits in Japanese culture.<ref>[https://traditionalkyoto.com/culture/figures/inari-foxes/ Inari Foxes]</ref>
*{{p|Okidogi}} may be inspired by the large Japanese dog, {{wp|Akita (dog)|Akita}}. "{{p|Okidogi}}" is also a portmanteu of "Ooki" meaning "big" in Japanese and "Doggy". The Akita dog also originates from {{wp|Akita Prefecture}} in the Tohoku region of Japan, where Kitakami may be inspired from.
*{{p|Munkidori}} may be inspired by the {{wp|Japanese macaque}} which originate from {{wp|Aomori Prefecture}} of the {{wp|Tohoku region}}.
*{{p|Fezandipiti}} may be inspired by the Japanese Green Pheasant, {{wp|Green pheasant|Kiji}}. The Kiji is also Iwate Prefecture's symbolic bird<ref>[https://www.pref.iwate.jp/kids/1002230.html Iwate Prefecture Symbols]</ref>. Fezandipiti's Japanese name is "Kichikigisu", which contains the word "kigisu". Kigisu is an archaic reading for pheasant.
*{{p|Dipplin}}, the evolution of {{p|Applin}} also features in Kitakami. Sweet apples are often served during summer festivals in Japan. With {{wp|Aomori Prefecture}} being the largest producer of Apples in Japan, it is well known for its Apples around the world. As such, it is possible that Aomori's apples were the inspiration behind Dipplin. The trailer of the Teal Mask also heavily showcases an apple orchard, apple consumption, and a photoshoot with an Apple cutout board.
*{{p|Poltchageist}} is inspired from {{wp|Tsukumogami|Tsukumogami (付喪神)}} which is a spirit (or {{wp| Yokai|Yokai (妖怪)}}) that is born from every-day inanimate objects, which is typical concept in Japanese Shinto belief.
*Kitakami features a large mountain which can be scaled. This could be inspired by {{wp|Mount Iwaki|Mt. Iwaki}}, which means "God's Home" (カムィイワキ) in the local Ainu language. Mt. Iwaki is also known as the "Northern Fuji" due to its similar apperance. The reference to a deity and the north is similar to Kitakami, which means "Northern God".

Nansho.<ref>[https://www.pref.iwate.jp/kyouikubunka/kokusai/1006971/1006978/1006979.html Origin of the name “Iwate”]</ref> This bears resemblance to the Loyal Three vanquishing {{p|Ogerpon}}.
*The culture of one of the largest festivals in the Tohoku region, {{wp|Aomori Nebuta Matsuri}}, is very similar to the themes explored in [[The Teal Mask]] (i.e. ogres appearing in many floats, which are typically depicted by humans by wearing a mask, reminiscent of [[Ogerpon]].) Alongside these cultural similarities, a real life nebuta float of {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Ogerpon}} appeared at the 2023 Aomori Nebuta festival.
* {{p|Ogerpon}} wears a mask, which could be a reference to {{wp|Devil's Sword Dance|Onikenbai (鬼剣舞)}} (lit. Ogre's Sword Dance), a traditional mask-wearing folk performance from the real-world {{wp|Kitakami, Iwate}}. This city is also home to a large traditional mask museum called Oni no Yakata (lit. Ogre's Museum).<ref>[https://japantravel.navitime.com/en/area/jp/spot/02301-14400444/ Oni no Yakata]</ref>
* {{p|Ogerpon}} could be inspired by {{wp|Menreiki|Menreiki (面霊気)}} which is a “mask essence” (or a {{wp| Yokai|Yokai (妖怪)}} born from a collection of masks). In the {{wp|Tohoku region}} of Japan, it is considered a form of {{wp|Tsukumogami|Tsukumogami (付喪神)}}.
* The Loyal Three are revered through small statues wearing red bibs, similar to that of {{wp|Kṣitigarbha#Japanese traditions|Ojizo-sama (お地蔵さま)}} or {{wp|Kitsune|Kitsune (きつね)}} found across Japan. The colour red is believed to ward off evil spirits in Japanese culture.<ref>[https://traditionalkyoto.com/culture/figures/inari-foxes/ Inari Foxes]</ref>
*{{p|Okidogi}} may be inspired by the large Japanese dog, {{wp|Akita (dog)|Akita}}. "{{p|Okidogi}}" is also a portmanteu of "Ooki" meaning "big" in Japanese and "Doggy". The Akita dog also originates from {{wp|Akita Prefecture}} in the Tohoku region of Japan, where Kitakami may be inspired from.
*{{p|Munkidori}} may be inspired by the {{wp|Japanese macaque}} which originate from {{wp|Aomori Prefecture}} of the {{wp|Tohoku region}}.
*{{p|Fezandipiti}} may be inspired by the Japanese Green Pheasant, {{wp|Green pheasant|Kiji}}. The Kiji is also Iwate Prefecture's symbolic bird<ref>[https://www.pref.iwate.jp/kids/1002230.html Iwate Prefecture Symbols]</ref>. Fezandipiti's Japanese name is "Kichikigisu", which contains the word "kigisu". Kigisu is an archaic reading for pheasant.
*{{p|Dipplin}}, the evolution of {{p|Applin}} also features in Kitakami. Sweet apples are often served during summer festivals in Japan. With {{wp|Aomori Prefecture}} being the largest producer of Apples in Japan, it is well known for its Apples around the world. As such, it is possible that Aomori's apples were the inspiration behind Dipplin. The trailer of the Teal Mask also heavily showcases an apple orchard, apple consumption, and a photoshoot with an Apple cutout board.
*{{p|Poltchageist}} is inspired from {{wp|Tsukumogami|Tsukumogami (付喪神)}} which is a spirit (or {{wp| Yokai|Yokai (妖怪)}}) that is born from every-day inanimate objects, which is typical concept in Japanese Shinto belief.
*Kitakami features a large mountain which can be scaled. This could be inspired by {{wp|Mount Iwaki|Mt. Iwaki}}, which means "God's Home" (カムィイワキ) in the local Ainu language. Mt. Iwaki is also known as the "Northern Fuji" due to its similar apperance. The reference to a deity and the north is similar to Kitakami, which means "Northern God".

The {{player}} is taken to Kitakami on a school trip to join an outdoors study opportunity held jointly between the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} and [[Blueberry Academy]].<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/dlc_intro/ ''DLC Is Coming: The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet''.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet official website.</ref>

==Geography==
Kitakami is a landlocked region that is mostly mountainous, as a large mountain comprises most of the region, though some rivers are present at the top of the mountain and around it on the east side, some even leading outside of the region. There is a town at the base of the mountain, being one of, if not the only, town or city in Kitakami.

Kitakami is described as being far away from Paldea, where the main player is originally from.

===Demographics===
Most of the people there are naturally born citizens there, like the Ogerpon's mask-maker, though rarely they will have tourists there like Professor Briar who hails from the Unova region, though most, if not all, of the native Kitakamians did not like them there. After the events of the Teal Mask, however, did they start liking having tourists there.
===Notable locations===
Notable locations around Kitakami include:
• The "Loyal Three"'s burial site, of which they were revived from
• Oni's Maw in Oni Mountain
• 3 message boards that tell a false version of the tale of Ogerpon and the "Loyal Three"
• Kitakami Hall, where Ogerpon's masks were stored before the "Loyal Three" were revived

==Trivia==
*Kitakami has the longest name out of all the regions in the core series, with it being eight letters long.
===Origin===
[[File:Pikachu Ogerpon Nebuta WCS23.jpeg|thumb|300px|To promote [[The Teal Mask]], {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Ogerpon}} appeared at the 2023 {{wp|Aomori Nebuta Matsuri}} as a float.

The choice to showcase the Nebuta at the [[2023 World Championships]] in Yokohama leans to the idea of the real life region of {{wp|Tohoku region}} of Japan bearing a close resemblance to Kitakami.]]


* The culture of Kitakami resembles Japanese culture with the main characters of the story wearing clothing known as a {{wp|Jinbei|jinbei (甚平)}}. The architecture of the houses as seen in Kitakami also resemble typical Japanese houses.
* Food stalls (or {{wp|Yatai (food cart)|Yatai (屋台)}}) can be seen around the shrine, of Shinto style. The path is flanked by stone lanterns similar to {{wp|Stone lantern|Ishidoro (石灯籠)}} in Japanese culture. Paper lanterns called {{wp|Traditional lighting equipment of Japan#Chōchin|Chōchin (提灯)}} can also be seen.
* The main characters of the story also participate in the Festival of Masks in Kitakami Hall, similar to {{wp|Japanese festivals|matsuri (祭り)}} in Japan with its ties to spirtual animals, spirits, and/or deities according to ancient folklore. In the case of Kitakami, the summer festival celebrates "The Loyal Three" ({{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}}) the Pokémon that protected Kitakami from the "Ogre" ({{p|Ogerpon}}). This story is similar to the Japanese folk tale of {{wp|Momotarō|Momotarō (桃太郎)}}, where a boy born from a peach who grows up to vanquish some ogres.
*The name of the {{wp|Iwate Prefecture}} in the {{wp|Tohoku Region}} means Rock (Iwa) Hand (Te).

==Geography==
Kitakami is a landlocked region that is mostly mountainous, as a large mountain comprises most of the region, though some rivers are present at the top of the mountain and around it, some even leading outside the region. There is a town at the base of the mountain with its own Academy for students, being one of, if not the only, town or city in Kitakami.

Kitakami is its own separate region, have little to nothing to do with Paldea, where the Player is originally from. It is also thought to be far away from Paldea but near Johto and Kanto.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
[[File:Pikachu Ogerpon Nebuta WCS23.jpeg|thumb|300px|To promote [[The Teal Mask]], {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Ogerpon}} appeared at the 2023 {{wp|Aomori Nebuta Matsuri}} as a float. The festival is the largest in the {{wp|Tohoku region}}. The choice to showcase the Nebuta at the [[2023 World Championships]] in Yokohama leans to the idea of the real life region of {{wp|Tohoku region}} of Japan bearing a close resemblance to Kitakami.]]


* The culture of Kitakami resembles Japanese culture with the main characters of the story wearing clothing known as a {{wp|Jinbei|jinbei (甚平)}}. The architecture of the houses as seen in Kitakami also resemble typical Japanese houses.
* Food stalls (or {{wp|Yatai (food cart)|Yatai (屋台)}}) can be seen around the shrine, of Shinto style. The path is flanked by stone lanterns similar to {{wp|Stone lantern|Ishidoro (石灯籠)}} in Japanese culture. Paper lanterns called {{wp|Traditional lighting equipment of Japan#Chōchin|Chōchin (提灯)}} can also be seen.
* The main characters of the story also participate in the Festival of Masks in Kitakami Hall, similar to {{wp|Japanese festivals|matsuri (祭り)}} in Japan with its ties to spirtual animals, spirits, and/or deities according to ancient folklore. In the case of Kitakami, the summer festival celebrates "The Loyal Three" ({{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}}) the Pokémon that protected Kitakami from the "Ogre" ({{p|Ogerpon}}). This story is similar to the Japanese folk tale of {{wp|Momotarō|Momotarō (桃太郎)}}, where a boy born from a peach who grows up to vanquish some ogres.
*The name of the {{wp|Iwate Prefecture}} in the {{wp|Tohoku Region}} means Rock (Iwa) Hand (Te). This comes a story where a deity names Mitsuishi (Three Rocks) vanquished an ogre called Rasetsu, who left an imprint of its hand on a large boulder on Mt. Nansho.<ref>[https://www.pref.iwate.jp/kyouikubunka/kokusai/1006971/1006978/1006979.html Origin of the name “Iwate”]</ref> This bears resemblance to the Loyal Three vanquishing {{p|Ogerpon}}.
*The culture of one of the largest festivals in the Tohoku region, {{wp|Aomori Nebuta Matsuri}}, is very similar to the themes explored in [[The Teal Mask]] (i.e. ogres appearing in many floats, which are typically depicted by humans by wearing a mask, reminiscent of [[Ogerpon]].) Alongside these cultural similarities, a real life nebuta float of {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Ogerpon}} appeared at the 2023 Aomori Nebuta festival.
* {{p|Ogerpon}} wears a mask, which could be a reference to {{wp|Devil's Sword Dance|Onikenbai (鬼剣舞)}} (lit. Ogre's Sword Dance), a traditional mask-wearing folk performance from the real-world {{wp|Kitakami, Iwate}}. This city is also home to a large traditional mask museum called Oni no Yakata (lit. Ogre's Museum).<ref>[https://japantravel.navitime.com/en/area/jp/spot/02301-14400444/ Oni no Yakata]</ref>
* {{p|Ogerpon}} could be inspired by {{wp|Menreiki|Menreiki (面霊気)}} which is a “mask essence” (or a {{wp| Yokai|Yokai (妖怪)}} born from a collection of masks). In the {{wp|Tohoku region}} of Japan, it is considered a form of {{wp|Tsukumogami|Tsukumogami (付喪神)}}.
* The Loyal Three are revered through small statues wearing red bibs, similar to that of {{wp|Kṣitigarbha#Japanese traditions|Ojizo-sama (お地蔵さま)}} or {{wp|Kitsune|Kitsune (きつね)}} found across Japan. The colour red is believed to ward off evil spirits in Japanese culture.<ref>[https://traditionalkyoto.com/culture/figures/inari-foxes/ Inari Foxes]</ref>
*{{p|Okidogi}} may be inspired by the large Japanese dog, {{wp|Akita (dog)|Akita}}. "{{p|Okidogi}}" is also a portmanteu of "Ooki" meaning "big" in Japanese and "Doggy". The Akita dog also originates from {{wp|Akita Prefecture}} in the Tohoku region of Japan, where Kitakami may be inspired from.
*{{p|Munkidori}} may be inspired by the {{wp|Japanese macaque}} which originate from {{wp|Aomori Prefecture}} of the {{wp|Tohoku region}}.
*{{p|Fezandipiti}} may be inspired by the Japanese Green Pheasant, {{wp|Green pheasant|Kiji}}. The Kiji is also Iwate Prefecture's symbolic bird<ref>[https://www.pref.iwate.jp/kids/1002230.html Iwate Prefecture Symbols]</ref>. Fezandipiti's Japanese name is "Kichikigisu", which contains the word "kigisu". Kigisu is an archaic reading for pheasant.
*{{p|Dipplin}}, the evolution of {{p|Applin}} also features in Kitakami. Sweet apples are often served during summer festivals in Japan. With {{wp|Aomori Prefecture}} being the largest producer of Apples in Japan, it is well known for its Apples around the world. As such, it is possible that Aomori's apples were the inspiration behind Dipplin. The trailer of the Teal Mask also heavily showcases an apple orchard, apple consumption, and a photoshoot with an Apple cutout board.
*{{p|Poltchageist}} is inspired from {{wp|Tsukumogami|Tsukumogami (付喪神)}} which is a spirit (or {{wp| Yokai|Yokai (妖怪)}}) that is born from every-day inanimate objects, which is typical concept in Japanese Shinto belief.
*Kitakami features a large mountain which can be scaled. This could be inspired by {{wp|Mount Iwaki|Mt. Iwaki}}, which means "God's Home" (カムィイワキ) in the local Ainu language. Mt. Iwaki is also known as the "Northern Fuji" due to its similar apperance. The reference to a deity and the north is similar to Kitakami, which means "Northern God".

'''Spectrier''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レイスポス''' ''Wraithpos'') is a {{type|Ghost}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]], with [[The Crown Tundra]].

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

Spectrier fuses with {{p|Calyrex}} using the [[Reins of Unity]] to become [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Calyrex|Shadow Rider Calyrex]].

==Biology==
Spectrier is an equine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with black fur and a purple marking covering the right side of its face extending to the base of its ears. Its left eye is closed with thick, mauve-colored eyelashes. It has a wavy purple mane that transitions into mauve towards the tips, with the tips themselves being translucent. Its fringe and tail are completely mauve. It has slender legs marked with a purple sock pattern. Each of its purple hooves is detached from its legs at the {{wp|pastern}}, and the rear pair of the hooves are trailed by spectral mist.

As Spectrier desires isolation and silence, it tends to be active during the night where its energy is heightened. Its nocturnal habits resulted in it having weak eyesight, but its other four senses are keenly sharpened; this allows Spectrier to have an accurate sense of the terrain and location of living things. Its kicks are said to separate a soul from its body, and it can steal the life force of sleeping beings. It feeds on the ambient life-force it steals from others and will attack anyone who would try to disturb it.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/spectrier/ Spectrier | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Spectrier is known to be very proud and arrogant, preferring to serve individuals it deems the strongest. It once ruled over the [[Crown Tundra]], lording over all the other Pokémon living there and terrorizing humans who intrude on its territory.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/united-by-their-bonds/ Pokémon united by their bonds | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> This lasted until it was defeated and tamed by {{gal|Calyrex}} using the [[Reins of Unity]]. It has a fondness for [[Carrot Seeds|carrots]], particularly [[Shaderoot Carrot]]s.

When fused with Calyrex, Spectrier's speed becomes swift to the point it can run a thousand miles within a single day. The strength of Spectrier's spectral power also increases. By Shadow Rider Calyrex's psychic influence, Spectrier can create countless small will-o'-the-wisps. These wisps have the power to steal the opponent's life-force with burning heat. Calyrex can also transform the steed's spectral aura into a black mass. This mass is powerful enough to absorb the life-force and souls of any being's energy like a black hole.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/shadow-rider-calyrex/ Shadow Rider Calyrex | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Spectrier is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Grim Neigh}} as its [[Ability]].

==Trivia==
* Spectrier's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats are the reverse of {{p|Glastrier}}'s.
* Spectrier and Glastrier are the only Pokémon introduced in the [[Crown Tundra]] that were not directly revealed to the public.
* Spectrier is the only pure {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to not have an evolutionary relative.

===Origin===
Spectrier together with Glastrier may also be based on the {{wp|Horsehead Nebula}}, a horse-shaped nebula near the constellation {{wp|Orion}}. This would correspond to Calyrex possibly representing Orion itself (specifically {{wp|Rigel}}, its brightest star), or {{wp|Lepus (constellation)|Lepus}}, the "hare" constellation located right below Orion.

Both Spectrier and its counterpart {{p|Glastrier}}'s relationship with Calyrex appears to be based on the legend of {{wp|Brian Boru}} and the {{wp|Pooka}}. Legend has it that Brian Boru, the High King of Ireland, is the only person to have ever ridden a Pooka, a mischievous faery in the form of a black horse. Brian tamed the Pooka by using a special bridle that contained three hairs from the Pooka's tail and successfully staying on its back through a wild ride. The king then forced the Pooka not to torment Christian people and to never attack an Irishman ever again. This is similar to how Calyrex, a Pokémon known as a king, can only ride its loyal steed, Glastrier or Spectrier, using the Reins of Unity woven in part from hairs from the steed's mane and had to prove itself by riding through the steed's bucking. It also relates to how, in taming this steed, Calyrex stopped the steed Pokémon from tormenting the people of the Crown Tundra. Spectrier in particular may take direct inspiration from the Pooka, being a black horse that mostly appears at night.

Spectrier appears to be based on the {{wp|Old English Black}}, an extinct horse breed that influenced the bloodline of modern {{wp|Shire horse}}s and {{wp|Clydesdale horse}}s. The ectoplasm around its detached hooves may be a stylization of the {{wp|feathering (horse)|feathering}} of these horse breeds. Its tail shape without noticeable protusion may be a reference to {{wp|equine conformation#Tail|low tail sets}}, a common conformation found in heavy draft horses. Given its light weight and {{stat|Speed}} together with elaborate manes, it is more similar to the {{wp|Friesian horse}}, a light draft horse breed favored in {{wp|jousting}} and {{wp|dressage}} that have also influenced the bloodline of Shire horses.

Spectrier may draw inspiration from legendary horses in {{wp|Celtic mythology}}, such as {{wp|Llamrei}}, a mare owned by King Arthur in the Welsh tale {{wp|Culhwch and Olwen}}. Therefore, its ability to prey on the life energy of sleeping creatures may be a wordplay on 'mare', as both a {{wp|Mare (folklore)|sleep demon}} and a female horse, though with different etymology, are spelt as 'mare' in modern English. It may also be based on {{wp|Liath Macha and Dub Sainglend|Dub Sainglend}}, a black chariot horse owned by the hero {{wp|Cú Chulainn}} in the {{wp|Ulster Cycle}} of {{wp|Irish Mythology}}. It may also take inspiration from other {{wp|water horse}}s in Celtic and Nordic folklore, particularly {{wp|Glashtyn}} in Manx folklore, where it is characterized with reversed hooves in modern renditions.

Alternatively, Spectrier may draw inspiration from the mythological ''{{wp|Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse}}'', Spectrier representing the black horse of Famine given its roaming nature and purported ability to absorb life-force from living creatures, or the ashen horse of death, given its Ghost typing and draining of life. It may also be based on the black-colored knight chess piece. Together with Glastrier, it may also be partly inspired by ''{{wp|Ema (Shinto)|Ema}}'' plaques and horse effigies in Shinto shrines that pray for good harvest.

====Name origin====
Spectrier may be a combination of ''spectre'' and ''{{wp|destrier}}'', a type of medieval war horse.

Wraithpos may be a combination of ''wraith'', 霊 ''rei'' (spirit), and ἵππος ''híppos'' (Greek for horse) or ''horse''.

'''Archaludon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブリジュラス''' ''Burijurasu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It evolves from {{p|Duraludon}}.

==Biology==
When Archaludon faces danger, it will extend its normally bent torso. It also trades away its mobility in exchange for more stable center of gravity. Archaludon appears resembles a magnificent steel bridge while in this state.

The terminals located at the end of its limbs can gather and store static electricity. This allows it to fire a powerful beam made up of electric energy, an energy not normally charged within its body. Archaludon can gather more static electricity more quickly during storms and other inclement weather. This allows Archaludon to fire off its beam much faster.

Archaludon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Electro Shot}}.


==Trivia==

===Origin===
Archaludon appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|cable-stayed bridge}}s. Its legs resemble the [[wp:Guadiana International Bridge|Guadiana International Bridge]] while the X patterns might be a reference to the [[wp:25 de Abril Bridge|25 de Abril Bridge]].

====Name origin====
Archaludon may be a combination of ''arch'' (meaning principal or superlative, as well as referring to {{wp|arch bridge|a type of bridge}}) and ''Duraludon''.

Burijurasu may be derived from ''bridge''.

'''Hippopotas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ヒポポタス''' ''Hippopotas'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Hippowdon}} starting at [[level]] 34.

==Biology==
Hippopotas is a quadrupedal, {{wp|hippopotamus}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is most commonly found in deserts and other arid places. Its skin color depends on gender: if male, it is tan with mottled dark brown patches, and if female, its coloring is reversed. It has a large snout with round, protruding nostrils, and several blunt teeth inside its mouth. Its eyes and small ears protrude from the top of its head. It has a small hole on its back. Each of its feet has two blunt claws, and it has a small tail.

Hippopotas spends its time bathing in sand and avoids water at all costs. It covers itself in sand as a protective measure against germs and expels sand instead of sweat. When it walks through the sand, it shuts its nostrils but keeps its mouth open, swallowing any sand and prey along the way. It removes excess sand in its body from its nostrils, which it also does when angered or excited. Hippopotas is more active during the day, and burrows into sand during the night to avoid the cold. It prefers to travel in groups of ten. Despite its large and heavy appearance, it may remain undetected, due to how well it hides in the sand.

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
[[File:Hippopotas anime.png|thumb|250px|The recurring male Hippopotas]]
====Hippopotas (recurring)====
Hippopotas debuted in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'', where {{Ash}}, with the aid of {{ashfr}}, rescued the Pokémon from being trapped upon a high ledge. {{si|Rhonda}} and her ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' crew revealed that they were on assignment filming a herd of Hippo Pokémon. It was then discovered that Hippopotas was lost, having been separated from his herd. As a result, Ash and his friends helped Hippopotas find his way back. Like a few other Pokémon, Hippopotas seemed to like riding atop of Ash's head.

{{TRT}} attempted to steal Hippopotas multiple times for {{an|Giovanni}}, but their plans were foiled each time. All the while, [[Jessie]] had trouble saying the Pokémon's species name. Hippopotas fell into a stream after one of Team Rocket's attempts to capture him. With the assistance of [[Nurse Joy]], Ash and his friends fetched a sackful of dry sand to help Hippopotas recover. Later, the group were able to reunite Hippopotas with his herd.

Hippopotas reappeared in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]'' with his father {{p|Hippowdon}}. In this episode, [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] also wanted to kidnap the Hippo Pokémon, but they failed.

Its known moves are {{m|Yawn}}, {{m|Sand Attack}}, {{m|Sand Tomb}}, and {{m|Sandstorm}}.

====Other====
Multiple Hippopotas appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', where one of them was borrowed by Ash and his friends for its {{type|Ground}} attacks. It played a crucial role in restoring the broken [[Prison Bottle]] during the climactic battle in [[Dahara City]]. This Hippopotas was later returned to his herd, and {{an|Bonnie}} bid it farewell.

===Minor appearances===

==Trivia==
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], both Hippopotas and Hippowdon have the same recruit rate, something rarely found with Pokémon of the same evolutionary line.
* Despite having notable gender differences, both Hippopotas and Hippowdon each have only one official [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork, [[Pokémon Global Link]] artwork, and menu icons (except for those of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]), all of which depict the male variations.

===Origin===
Hippopotas seems to be based on a {{wp|hippopotamus}}, although its behavior is the inverse of that of the real life species: hippopotamuses are more active during nighttime and often submerge themselves in water, while Hippopotas is more active during the day and hates getting wet. The pattern on Hippopotas's skin resembles desert {{wp|military camouflage}}.

Because of the spout upon its back that spits sand, Hippopotas and its evolved form may be based upon the legendary {{wp|Bahamut}}; in some accounts of the myths behind it, it is said to support a bed of sand and have the head of a hippo.

====Name origin====
Hippopotas is derived from ''{{wp|hippopotamus}}''.

'''Amaura''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アマルス''' ''Amarus'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ice}} [[Fossil]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It is resurrected from a [[Sail Fossil]] and [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Aurorus}} when [[level]]ed up at [[Time#Time-based evolutions|night]] starting at level 39.

==Biology==
Amaura is a quadrupedal, dinosaurian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|sauropoda|sauropod}}. It is light blue with a white underbelly. It has a long neck, a short, stubby tail, and a single white claw on each hind foot. Above each of its large, deep blue eyes is an iridescent, sail-like structure. Typically, the sails are yellow at the bottom and fade into pink toward the tips. On each side of its body is a dark blue crystal. [[Pokémon-Amie]] has demonstrated that its sails can change color with its mood and the crystals on its sides permanently remain at freezing temperatures.

This ancient Pokémon was restored from a Sail Fossil that had been frozen in ice for over 100 million years. However, though Amaura was restored successfully, it's not expected to live long because of the heat of the current environment. It calmly lived in cold lands where there were no violent predators like Tyrantrum around and that, seen in [[XY023|the anime]], that when Amaura whinnies, auroras appear in the night sky. It's unknown why it went extinct in the first place.

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
Amaura debuted in ''[[XY023|Coming Back into the Cold!]]'' alongside its evolved form. Both Pokémon were brought back to life after being found frozen in ice. Amaura was captured by {{TRT}} and had to be brought back to the [[Ambrette Town]] Fossil Laboratory before it was too late. The same Amaura reappeared in a newspaper in ''[[XY027|To Find a Fairy Flower!]]''.

An Amaura appeared in ''[[PK26|Pikachu, What's This Key?]]''. It was a resident of a world full of ice and snow, which was accessed by {{AP|Pikachu}} and his friends, courtesy of {{p|Klefki}}'s keys.

An Amaura appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. It was injured when a [[Pokémon poacher|Pokémon Hunter]] tried to capture it, but it was rescued by {{OBP|Volcanion|M19}} and taken to the [[Nebel Plateau]], where it recovered.

===Minor appearances===

==In the manga==
===Movie adaptations===
An Amaura appeared in the {{ma|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel|manga adaptation}} of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' as a resident of the [[Nebel Plateau]].

==Trivia==
* Amaura and its evolved form were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref>
* Amaura has some similarities with {{p|Tyrunt}}. Both are {{type|Rock}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] with a base stat total of 362 and evolve starting at level 39, although Amaura evolves at night instead of during the day.

===Origin===
Amaura is based on a young {{wp|sauropod}} dinosaur, specifically the ''{{wp|Amargasaurus}}'', which were speculated to have sail-like fins or skin extensions on their vertebral spines. According to designer Hitoshi Ariga, he decided to design Pokémon based on sauropods with the consideration that they would pair well with the ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}''-based {{p|Tyrantrum}}'s evolutionary line. The ''Amargasaurus'' was chosen as a base for these sauropod Pokémon to differentiate them from other Pokémon with similar body shapes such as {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Meganium}}, or {{p|Deino}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/458627994395762689 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on April 22, 2014. ([https://web.archive.org/web/20230410130327/https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/458627994395762689 archive])</ref> Amaura also shares traits with various other species of {{wp|Diplodocoidea}} (a classification of sauropods which includes ''Amargasaurus'').

The color-changing sails upon Amaura's head appear to be based on {{wp|aurora}}s, which are predominantly seen in polar regions and are most visible at night; these may also inspire Amaura's {{type|Ice}} and the fact that it can only evolve at night.

====Name origin====
Amaura may be a combination of ''Amargasaurus'' and ''aurora''.

Amarus may be a contraction of ''Amargasaurus''.

'''Omastar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オムスター''' ''Omstar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Water}} [[Fossil]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Omanyte}} starting at [[level]] 40, after it is revived from a [[Helix Fossil]].

==Biology==
Omastar is a {{wp|cephalopod}} {{wp|mollusk}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar to an {{wp|Ammonoidea|ammonite}} or {{wp|Nautilus|nautilus}}. Its sky blue body has several tentacles; the tentacles toward the front are shorter and thicker than those in the back. There is a pale yellow, helix spiraled shell on its back. Several sharp spikes line the shell's midsection from the front to about halfway down its back. The shell's rim has two circular indents where Omastar's eyes are visible. Its eyes have yellow sclerae and vertically-slit pupils. It has an oval mouth with a four-sectioned, {{wp|cephalopod beak|fang-like beak}}.

It is believed that Omastar's extinction was a consequence of the increasingly heavy weight of its shell that affected its mobility, including its hunting. Omastar swam the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|seas}} in search of prey, including prehistoric {{p|Shellder}}. It attacks only when prey comes near its tentacles. Omastar uses its tentacles to ensnare its prey before biting down with the deadly force of its beak. Its fangs are powerful enough to crush through rocks. With the shell broken, it would suck out the contents. Omastar was in turn preyed upon by {{p|Carracosta}}. Omastar is thought to be a distant ancestor to {{p|Octillery}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Pewter Museum Omastar.png|thumb|left|250px|Omastar in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', two Omastar were dormant under [[Grampa Canyon]] until a dynamite blast woke them up. The two Omastar chased [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{TRT}} until {{p|Aerodactyl}} showed up and scared them off.

In ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]'', multiple Omastar were discovered to be living in the [[Ruins of Alph]] alongside their pre-evolved form {{p|Omanyte}}. They were moved into a museum at the end of the episode.

In ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', an Omastar caught {{TRT}} trying to steal food from the [[Canalave Gym]] kitchen while Ash was having his Gym battle with [[Byron]]. It used {{m|Water Gun}} to them blasting off.

==Trivia==

* In early English-language promotional material for [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue]], Omastar was originally known as "Kargo". This name is derived from "escargot" (French for ''snail'').

===Origin===
Omastar appears to be based on a type of {{wp|Ammonoidea|ammonite}}, prehistoric mollusks related to the present-day squid and octopus that lived between the {{wp|Devonian}} period and the {{wp|Cretaceous}} period.

In addition, its method of grabbing prey and cracking their shells with ring-shaped mouths may be based on ''{{wp|Anomalocaris}}''. It may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|nautilus}}, a species of modern-day mollusk.

====Name origin====
Omastar may be a combination of its Japanese name, a phonetic anagram of ''ammonite'', and ''star'', for its body shape and five-pointed shell.

Omstar may be a combination of 鸚鵡貝 ''ōmugai'' ({{wp|nautilus}}) and ''star''.

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

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

Ditto is well known for its unique ability to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] with any Pokémon other than the Pokémon in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} group and other Ditto, including some [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] Pokémon, to produce Eggs of the other's species.

==Biology==
[[File:Duplica Ditto Pikachu.png|250px|thumb|left|[[Duplica]]'s Ditto {{m|transform}}ed as a {{p|Pikachu}}]]
In its natural state, Ditto is a light-purple or pink blob-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with {{wp|vestigiality|vestigial}} facial features. It is often referred to as amorphous, but has a relatively consistent appearance in official artwork, including two small nubs on its "head", a few soft lumps at its base, and two {{wp|pseudopodia|pseudopod}}-like protrusions in place of arms. The face consists of beady eyes and a simple mouth; almost always pulled into a smile.

It is capable of transforming into an exact replica of any physical object or living creature, including its form and abilities. Each Ditto has its own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to transforming; being unable to remain transformed while laughing and getting details of its transformation wrong if based on memory being apparently universal. [[EP037|The anime]], [[Ditto (TCG)|TCG]], and some [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]] have shown that occasionally Ditto cannot change its face during transformation; a trait that has become synonymous with the species despite being incongruous with their depiction in core series games. While its transformation ability allows it to get along with almost anything, it does not get along with its own kind, which it will quickly (and generally fruitlessly) attempt to transform into. It is shown to be able to transform into [[human]]s as well; however, it cannot mimic human speech. It transforms into a rock when sleeping to avoid attack.

Ditto is never far from {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|civilization or people}}, and is the only Pokémon capable of using the [[Metal Powder]] and [[Quick Powder]] items. Its variety of unusual and often entirely unique traits set it apart from every other Pokémon.

==In the anime==
[[File:Narissa Ditto.png|250px|thumb|{{Shiny}} and normal-colored Ditto in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Duplica's Ditto]]====
[[Duplica]] has a Ditto that debuted in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', where they used to perform for people, only to lack an audience since people saw that Ditto could not change its face. Ditto fixed that problem near the end of the episode, when it was captured by {{TRT}}.

====Other====
In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} used a Ditto in a [[Full Battle]] against {{Ash}} at the [[Pummelo Stadium]]. It faced [[Ash's Pikachu]], but ended up losing after Pikachu used {{m|Agility}} and then slammed its tail down on Ditto.

Sometime before ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'', Duplica found another Ditto, which she [[nickname]]d Mini-Dit. This second Ditto could transform into an exact mirror image of anything, but it could not change its size.

In ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]'', a Ditto was [[Brodie]]'s partner-in-crime. It reappeared in the same role in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]''.

A Ditto appeared in [[PK15]].

In ''[[DP173|Dealing With A Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', [[Narissa]] used two Ditto nicknamed Ditto 1 and Ditto 2. Ditto 2 is {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|Ditto 2|Shiny}}.

In ''[[SM046|Deceiving Appearances!]]'', five Ditto were getting vaccinated at [[Aether Paradise]]. One of them escaped but was soon rescued. One of them reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]''. All of them reappeared in ''[[SM096|Don't Ignore the Small Stufful!]]''.

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', [[Margo]] befriended a Ditto. It and a {{p|Teddiursa}} were targeted by [[Pokémon poacher|Pokémon hunters]] looking for {{OBP|Zeraora|M21}}, but they were saved by Zeraora, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}}, and his friends.

In ''[[JN019|A Talent for Imitation!]]'', a Ditto works as a film actor because {{m|Transform}} is unusually efficient for impersonations. Its latest role was in a movie directed by [[Kublock]], about {{p|Gardevoir}} twins, but it ran away due to Kublock's overly strict attitude and its increasing inability to use Transform as effectively. Ditto eventually ran into and befriended Team Rocket, who taught it how to overcome its nerves and regain its confidence. As a result, it returned to the set and production resumed without any further problems.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[EP122|Flower Power]]'', a Ditto was part of [[Florando]]'s annual [[Pokémon Exhibition]].

In a flashback in ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', a Ditto was at the [[Pokémon Nurse School]].

In ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]'', the [[Pokémon Trainers' School]] lent a Ditto to the school's underage students for use in lessons.

In ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]'', {{an|Mew}} transformed into a Ditto during a fantasy while {{an|Professor Oak}} was teaching [[Goh]] and [[Chloe]].

In ''[[JN050|A Pinch of This, a Pinch of That!]]'', two Ditto were in the [[Wild Area]].

A Trainer's Ditto appeared in ''[[JN125|Whittle While You Work!]]''.

{{main|Ditto (TCG)}}

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

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

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

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
[[File:SSB Ditto.png|thumb|250px|Ditto in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]
Ditto appears as a Pokémon summoned from the {{i|Poké Ball}}, where it uses {{m|Transform}} to duplicate the shape of the summoning character while still maintaining its own color. It then attacks opposing fighters. Ditto also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

Ditto first became available in {{g|GO}} on November 23, 2016, disguised as other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn2|wild}}. Players will only find out whether a Pokémon is a Ditto if successfully [[caught Pokémon|captured]], upon which a cutscene will show the Pokémon transforming back into Ditto.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/en/post/ditto/ Ditto has been discovered... - Pokémon GO]</ref> Ditto can be used in {{OBP|Gym|GO}} and [[Raid Battle|Raid]] Battles, in which it will Transform into the first Pokémon it sees; however Ditto cannot be used in {{OBP|Trainer Battle|GO}}s.

As of September 1, 2021, wild Ditto may be Shiny, and some Pokémon whose [[Shiny Pokémon (GO)|Shiny forms]] are available may transform into Ditto. If a player encounters a Shiny Pokémon in the wild, it cannot be a disguised Ditto, but non-Shiny Pokémon have a small chance of being a Shiny Ditto.<ref>[https://pokemongohub.net/post/guide/how-does-shiny-ditto-work-in-pokemon-go/ How Does Shiny Ditto Work in Pokémon GO? | Pokémon GO Hub]</ref>

As of March 21, 2023, wild Ditto may be disguised as any of the following species:<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/post/lets-go-event-team-go-rocket-takeover/ Professor Willow needs everybody’s help in a new event; Team GO Rocket activity also detected - Pokémon GO]</ref>

==Trivia==
* Ditto has a scrapped evolution in Generation II named "Animon", evolving from Ditto using a Metal Coat.
* Ditto is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 35. However, in Generations [[Generation III|III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]], if Ditto transforms into another Pokémon, its catch rate will become that of the new Pokémon. In [[Generation IX]], its catch rate will become 0 by mistake if the Pokémon is not the primary [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form]], [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender]] (for Pokémon with differing stats or movesets), or [[Regional form]].
* Ditto and {{p|Manaphy}} are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed yet unobtainable through breeding.
* In [[Pokémon Snap]], Ditto takes the form of {{p|Bulbasaur}} in the [[Pokémon Island Cave|Cave stage]]. The {{player}} can cause them to return to their Ditto form by hitting them with an object. When the player takes their picture, Ditto has the same eyes when it is transformed as when it is not. This trait is shared by [[Duplica]]'s Ditto in the [[EP037|anime]], although it was understood that this was not natural. {{TCG|Ditto|Ditto cards}} from the {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} {{Trading Card Game}} expansion, the Clefairy Ditto that may appear in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]'s slot machines, and [[Howard Clifford]]'s Ditto in ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'' also have this trait.
* Ditto is one of two Pokémon to have two different species-specific [[Stat-enhancing item]]s associated with it, the other being {{p|Clamperl}}. Ditto's two associated items, the Metal Powder and Quick Powder, seem to be the same colors as Ditto's normal and {{Shiny}} forms, respectively.
* In [[Pokémon Rumble]], since {{m|Transform}} was not programmed into the game, Ditto can only know {{m|Struggle}}. Since PP does not exist in Rumble, this makes Ditto the only Pokémon in Rumble that can use Struggle. However, Transform does exist in [[Pokémon Rumble Blast]], so Ditto has a move from that game onward.
* Ditto is the most common Pokémon in [[Pokémon Trozei!]], appearing in every area. This is due to its ability to transform, enabling the player a way to advance further if no links are available before Ditto appears.
* Prior to [[Generation VI]], Ditto and {{p|Poliwag}} had the same [[cry]].
* Since Transform copies its target's stats (except HP), Ditto cannot utilize its Special Attack stat before Transforming, though it can use its Attack stat for {{m|Struggle}} and {{status|confusion}} damage.
* In [[Generation II]], a transformed Ditto keeps its original purple color palette (blue if Shiny).
* Since Ditto's only move, Transform, cannot copy moves in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series and has only one PP, its only move after transforming is Struggle.
** However, in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red/Blue Rescue Team]] and in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time/Darkness]][[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|/Sky]], a player-controlled Ditto can learn the TM moves [[Vacuum-Cut]] and [[Wide Slash]].
** Since [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Ditto is able to get the moveset of the target Pokémon when it transforms.
* In Generation VI, Ditto is only given one move animation (despite the two animations minimum most Pokémon have for contact and non-contact moves).
* On October 4, 2017, [[The Pokémon Company]] posted a Ditto-themed music video onto their YouTube channel titled [[Dit-to Ditto]].
* In [[Pokémon GO]], Ditto appears in the wild disguised as other Pokémon. After being caught, it will reveal its true form. At one point, a large amount of Ditto were seen disguised as the then-unrevealed [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Meltan}}.
* Ditto is the only non-playable Pokémon that can be defeated in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].
* In [[Pokémon GO]], Ditto and {{p|Shedinja}} are the only Pokémon that cannot be used in [[Trainer Battle (GO)|Trainer Battles]], unless the battle is against [[Team GO Rocket]].

===Glitches===
====Index 000 post-capture====
In [[Generation I]], if the player manages to capture an [['M (00)]], it will still be in battle with the player, and the battle will not end. Catching 'M (00) again results in the second one becoming a Ditto of the same level.

====Transform glitches====
{{main|Transform glitches}}

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

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

====Name origin====
Ditto is literally ''ditto'' (that which was stated before; copy of a document; imitation).

Metamon may be a combination of ''metamorphose'' (to undergo a physical transformation) or ''meta-'' (prefix meaning "encompassing" or "transcending", which may refer to {{m|Transform}} allowing Ditto to take on the shape of every other Pokémon) and ''monster''.

'''Metagross''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタグロス''' ''Metagross'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Metang}} starting at [[level]] 45. It is the final form of {{p|Beldum}}.

Metagross can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Metagross''' using the [[Metagrossite]].

==Biology==
Metagross is a massive, robotic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a turquoise, disc-shaped body, and four legs. The main body appears to serve as both head and body, and this Pokémon's overall construction gives it the appearance of a mechanized arachnid. It uses its heavy body to pin down its prey before consuming them with its large mouth. A large, metallic cross is situated in the center of its face. On either side of the cross, a red eye peers out from a space in Metagross's metallic armor. Its four legs are joined to the main body by ball-and-socket joints. While the upper portion of the legs is relatively thin, they are considerably thicker below the knee. Each leg has three short claws on the end and a flat, blunt protrusion extending over the knee. The legs can be tucked in, allowing Metagross to float in the air.

As [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Metagross, it constantly floats, and its legs become arms. It also gains four legs on the back of its head. The cross on its face turns pale gold, and it gains two small holes and a spike immediately below the cross, giving the impression of a goatee.

Metagross is the result of two {{p|Metang}} fusing together. This gives Metagross four brains in total, all connected by a complex network of neurons. Because of these complex connections and the number of brains, this Pokémon is capable of performing complex calculations and is more intelligent than a {{wp|supercomputer}}. It is imbued with psychic powers and uses its intelligence to analyze its opponents during battle. Metagross uses its fantastic strength to pin down a victim using its four claws and body. This allows Metagross to use its large mouth and teeth to chew its victim to pieces. This Pokémon can be found on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrains}}. Metagross can also be found living in snowy mountains as their magnetic powers becomes stronger in freezing temperatures.

Mega Metagross achieves its form by linking up a Metagross, a Metang, and two {{p|Beldum}} together. Its multiple brains process information simultaneously, enabling it to calmly assess the tide of a battle and defeat its opponent with accuracy. Mega Metagross also uses the psychic power inside its body to launch powerful attacks. Its claws are hard as steel and can easily smash even large chunks of rocks. Because Mega Evolution stimulates its multiple brains and increases its intelligence, Mega Metagross becomes a ruthless combatant that will clutch at victory by absolutely any means, no matter how horrifyingly cruel. If victory is deemed impossible, Metagross will attempt to dig its claws into its opponent and prepare to explode.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Metagross SSBB.png|220px|thumb|Metagross in Super Smash Bros Brawl]]
Upon its release from its {{i|Poké Ball}}, it will stay in one place and repeatedly use {{m|Earthquake}}. Anyone caught underneath the Pokémon will be buried into the ground and thus unable to move for a few moments, until Metagross uses its attack and all the hit characters are blasted upwards.

Metagross was featured as one of the Pokémon released from a Poké Ball in the demo of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] at Jumpfesta; however, it hovered above the stage before attacking, unlike in the actual game.

====Trophy information====
''"An Iron Leg Pokémon. When two Beldum combine, they evolve into Metang. In the same way, Metagross is the result of two Metang combining. It's said to have the intelligence to match a supercomputer. Though it weighs 1,212.5 pounds, it is somehow able to fold up its legs and float."''

Metagross also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''A hulking Steel/Psychic Pokémon, Metagross weighs in at around 1,212.5 lb. Even Snorlax isn't that heavy! It uses Earthquake by stomping its powerful legs on the ground, sending nearby fighters flying and burying those who come too close. You'll be safe in the air, so use careful timing to stay that way.''

'''PAL''': ''A Steel- and Psychic-type Pokémon known as the Iron Leg Pokémon. At 550kg in weight, it's heavier than your average Snorlax. When its Earthquake hits, you'd better hope you're far away (or at least in mid-air), because the tremors can launch anybody on the ground. And watch out for its legs! They can stomp you right into the ground!''
{{-}}
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Metagross returns once again as a Poké Ball summon, functioning the same as in ''Brawl'' and ''for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U''. Metagross also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:376Metagross-Mega-Shiny.png|thumb|200px|Promotional artwork of a Shiny [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Metagross]]
* Due to the way damage is calculated for {{m|Grass Knot}} and {{m|Low Kick}}, Metagross will take the same amount of damage from these [[move]]s with or without its {{DL|Ability|Hidden Ability}}, {{a|Light Metal}}.
* Metagross's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn Pokédex]] in [[Generation III]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 192.
* Despite being a gender unknown species, Metagross is referred to as a male in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]].
* Metagross and its pre-evolved forms all share both their standard and Hidden Abilities with {{p|Registeel}}.
* Mega Metagross is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] Mega Evolved Pokémon.
* At the time of its introduction, Metagross was the only fully-evolved Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon to not possess a 4 times weakness to any type.
* Metagross is also the only Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon that, in its debut generation, had no members of its evolutionary line able to be encountered in the wild.

===Origin===
Metagross appears to be based off a {{wp|robot}}. It also appears to be based on a {{wp|supercomputer}}, given its mechanical structure and sheer intelligence, and a {{wp|spider}}. Additionally, it is reminiscent of a {{wp|Unidentified flying object|UFO}} and a {{wp|Lander (spacecraft)|lander}}. Metagross's face may draw inspiration from the largest gear of the {{wp|Antikythera mechanism}}, an ancient {{wp|analog computer}}.

====Name origin====
Metagross may be a combination of ''metal'' and ''cross'' (referring to its facial feature), ''{{wp|gross (unit)|gross}}'' (referring to its weight of 1212 lbs., as a gross is 12×12), or ''groß'' (German for ''large'').

'''Walking Wake''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウネルミナモ''' ''Uneruminamo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dragon}} [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, but it appears to be an ancient relative of {{p|Suicune}}.

It was announced in the February 27, 2023 [[Pokémon Presents]], along with {{p|Iron Leaves}}.

==Biology==
Walking Wake resembles a sketch made by a member of the Area Zero Expedition in the Scarlet Book. It bears a uniquely shaped set of horns on its forehead. It also supports its weight with just its hind legs and walks bipedally.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/walking_wake/ Pokémon Scarlet and Violet official site]</ref>

It has an ability which enables it to be able to walk on water.

Walking Wake is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Hydro Steam}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Scarlet Book Legendary-Beast.png|200px|thumb|Sketch resembling Walking Wake in the Scarlet Book]]
* Before the official reveal of Walking Wake, a sketch of an imaginary Pokémon similar to it appeared in the [[Scarlet Book]] in {{g|Scarlet}} as an amalgam of the [[Legendary beasts]] ({{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}).
* Walking Wake is one of 3 Pokemon to be a Paradox Pokemon and not have the word "Iron" in its name, the others being the box Legendary Pokemon Koraidon and Miraidon.
===Origin===
Walking Wake is based on {{p|Suicune}}, and possibly a {{wp|theropod}} dinosaur. It's bipedal reptilian appearance and ability to walk on water seems to have derived from the basilisk lizard.
====Name origin====
Walking Wake is literally ''walking wake''. The word ''wake'' refers to movements of water created when something moves through it.

The '''Hoenn''' region (Japanese: '''ホウエン{{tt|地方|ちほう}}''' ''Hoenn {{tt|region|chihō}}'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is located south of [[Sinnoh]],<ref>As stated in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]''.</ref> and southwest of both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].<ref>''[[Pokémon Fan (US)|Pokémon Fan]]: 10th Anniversary News Booklet'', p. 16 ([https://archive.org/details/10-anni-book/ Archive])</ref> It is the setting of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]]. It was the third [[core series]] region to be introduced.

Hoenn is inspired by the real-world Japanese main island of {{wp|Kyushu}}. The names of most of the cities in Hoenn are made of two words put together ("Little Root", "Fort Tree", "Slate Port", "Ever Grande", etc.) rather than colors or plants as [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] had done. [[Professor Birch]] of [[Littleroot Town]] offers the [[starter Pokémon]] known as {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, or {{p|Mudkip}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s beginning their journey of this vast land.

==Etymology and design concept==
[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|left|150px|The map of Japan showing the Hoenn region as {{wp|Kyushu}}]]
===Etymology===
[[Junichi Masuda]] has stated that Hoenn's name signifies "abundant relations" (豊縁 ''hōen''), as a common theme in this region is the relationships forged between Pokémon and people.<ref name=masuda>HIDDEN POWER of masuda, No. 15 [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/2004/09/index.html (Japanese)] / [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/2004/09/index.html (English)]</ref>

===Design concept===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Hoenn|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Hoenn}}
The Hoenn region is based on the real-world Japanese main island of {{wp|Kyushu}}, rotated 90° counterclockwise. Junichi Masuda stated that the reason Kyushu was rotated 90° to create Hoenn was to increase playability.<ref name=masuda/> According to the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: Super Music Collection]], Masuda further clarifies that this choice was related to the horizontal display of the new [[Game Boy Advance]] screen.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1504100422688153605]</ref>
{{left clear}}

==History==
Hoenn was created after [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} were formed. Primal Groudon raised the landmasses and Primal Kyogre filled the seas that would later become Hoenn. A meeting between these two caused a great battle for supremacy until it was quelled by [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Rayquaza}}, sending Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre into caverns where they rested until they were awakened many years later during the course of events in [[Generation III]] or [[Generation VI]]. The moving of the continents by {{p|Regigigas}} created Hoenn, and when Regigigas was sent to sleep in the [[Snowpoint Temple]] in [[Sinnoh]], {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regice}}, the keys to awakening it, were sealed away in Hoenn.

In contemporary history, {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}} moved to [[Littleroot Town]] in Hoenn from [[Johto]]. Brendan/May encountered May/Brendan, competing with Brendan/May to complete the Pokédex. Brendan/May saved [[Professor Birch]] from a Poochyena{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}/Zigzagoon{{sup/3|E}} with a {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Mudkip}}, or {{p|Treecko}} from Professor Birch's bag; as a reward for saving him, he gave Brendan/May a [[Pokédex]] and allowed them to keep the Pokémon that they used to save him. Brendan/May traveled across Hoenn, occasionally encountering and defeating [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]. Team Magma{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|OR}} and/or Team Aqua{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}} successfully awakened {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|OR}} and/or {{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}}, which caused the region of Hoenn to be plagued by {{weather|harsh sunlight}}{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}}, {{weather|heavy rain}}{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/6|AS}} or a strange mixture of both{{sup/3|E}}. However, Brendan/May successfully calmed the weather Pokémon when they defeated it{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}} or summoned {{p|Rayquaza}} to calm them{{sup/3|E}}. Brendan/May then proceeded to beat the Pokémon League and become the Champion, and was invited to compete in the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}{{sup/3|E}}.

Upon becoming the Champion, a meteor changed course towards Hoenn{{sup/6|ORAS}}. May's/Brendan's, [[Wally]]'s, and [[Archie]]'s{{sup/6|AS}}/[[Maxie]]'s{{sup/6|OR}} [[Key Stone]]s were stolen by [[Zinnia]] in an attempt to summon {{p|Rayquaza}} to avert the crisis. Brendan/May encountered Zinnia at [[Sky Pillar]] and successfully summoned Rayquaza. Brendan/May gave Rayquaza the power to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] and it destroyed the meteor.

==Geography==
===Environment===
[[File:Hoenn Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Hoenn in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Hoenn Evolutions.png|thumb|250px|Hoenn in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
The Hoenn region boasts many dramatic environments from [[Hoenn Route 119|rainforests]] to [[Hoenn Route 111|deserts]], but its most striking feature is its abundance of water, a strong contrast to other core series regions, especially Sinnoh. Much of the region is covered in water, almost equal in size to the mainland, exemplifying the theme of the games. There are several large and populated islands off the mainland only accessible via [[water route]]s, many of which are deep enough for {{m|Dive|diving}}.

Much of the interior area is forested or mountainous, so most notable cities are found on the coastline. People who live in towns and villages in the mountain areas must adapt to the harsh environment. An extreme example of this is the inhabitants of [[Fortree City]], who live in tree houses. This is in stark contrast to other regions in the [[Pokémon world]], as noted by {{adv|Ruby}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]], who preferred Johto's many modernized cities to the wilderness and countryside in Hoenn. Hoenn has one active volcano, [[Mt. Chimney]], in the northwest of the region. The ash from Mt. Chimney regularly falls on the nearby towns and routes. On the opposite side of the Hoenn region lies the volcanic{{sup/3|RSE}}/impact{{sup/6|ORAS}} crater which [[Sootopolis City]] was built in.

Some of Hoenn's newly discovered Pokémon strongly reflect the influence of the primarily tropical environment.

===Climate===
Hoenn seems to have a warmer climate than other regions, similar to an equatorial climate. This may mean that Hoenn is located closer to the equator than the other regions.

The mainland experiences a wide variety of weather across its breadth. Ashes constantly fall around [[Mt. Chimney]] in the northwest. Constant, extreme {{weather|sandstorm}}s afflict the arid desert near its center. Frequent {{weather|rain}} falls on the mainland's northeastern areas, nourishing the rainforests and {{DL|tall grass|long grass}} that grow there.

===Demographics===
The towns, cities, and areas of the Hoenn region's total population in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} is 598. In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], the total population of Hoenn's towns, cities, and areas is 694. Upon its introduction in [[Generation III]], it was the largest region by population. As of [[Generation VIII]], it is the sixth largest region by population.

===Notable locations===
Hoenn has sixteen [[List of cities and towns|cities and towns]], including a [[Ever Grande City|Pokémon League]]. Since the majority of the cities and towns of Hoenn are immersed into nature, there aren't many large cities comparable to [[Unova]]'s [[Castelia City]] or [[Kalos]]'s [[Lumiose City]], with the largest city being [[Lilycove City]]{{sup/3|RSE}}/[[Mauville City]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}.

The Hoenn region has 34 different [[route]]s, which are passages permitting Trainers to travel from one location to the next with relative ease. Much like [[Sinnoh]] after it, Hoenn's routes are numbered so that they don't follow sequence directly from previously-known regions' routes. Routes in Hoenn are numbered from {{rtn|101|Hoenn}} to {{rtn|134|Hoenn}}. Compared to other regions, Hoenn features an abundance of sea routes. This gives the impression that the Hoenn region is half-water and half-land, which references the battle of Groudon and Kyogre.

The Hoenn region is unique and famous for its tropical-like environments. The region does not feature a true mountain range like in Sinnoh and other regions. Hoenn introduced many new natural environments including a volcano, a jungle, a beach, a desert, and many more. The Hoenn region also introduced the idea of routes with differing [[weather]], including constant rainfall, thunderstorms, falling ash, and rays of sunlight.

====Routes====
Routes in Hoenn number are numbered as {{rtn|101|Hoenn}}-{{rtn|134|Hoenn}}, breaking the former pattern set up by Kanto and Johto.

Some of the routes have differing [[weather]] depending on the day they are traveled on.

The '''Johto''' region (Japanese: '''ジョウト{{tt|地方|ちほう}}''' ''{{tt|Johto|Jouto}} {{tt|region|chihō}}'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. Johto is located west of [[Kanto]], which together form a joint landmass that is south of [[Sinnoh]] and [[Sinjoh Ruins]].

It was the second [[core series]] region to be introduced. First explored in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, it is home to an additional 100 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that were not present in [[Generation I|the previous games]]. It is also the setting of {{game|Crystal}}, {{game|HeartGold}}, and {{game|SoulSilver}}.

Players begin their journey in [[New Bark Town]], where [[Professor Elm]] offers either {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} to beginning [[Pokémon Trainer]]s.

The English-version names of most of the cities in Johto are names of plants or things related to plants.

==Etymology and design concept==
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Johto}}

[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|left|150px|The map of Japan showing the Johto region as the {{wp|Kansai region}}.]]

[[Junichi Masuda]] has stated in his director's column that the kanji that inspired the name mean "castle palace" (城都) or "lattice-shaped palace" (条都)<ref>[https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/2009/05/index.html Hidden Power of Masuda: No. 149 (Japanese)]</ref><ref>[https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/2009/05/index.html Hidden Power of Masuda: No. 149 (English)]</ref>; this meaning is connected to the city of {{wp|Nara, Nara|Nara}}, which was the basis for [[Violet City]].

Johto is based on the real {{wp|Kansai region}} in Japan.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0007/gfreak/page04.html 『ポケットモンスター』開発スタッフインタビュー (ページｄ)]. ''Nintendo Online Magazine'' (N.O.M), July 2000.</ref> Kansai and {{wp|Kantō region|Kantō}} are the two most populous areas of {{wp|Honshū}}, the largest island of Japan, and much like Johto and [[Kanto]], represent a harmony of contrasting cultures living together. Compared to modern Kantō, Kansai is linked to the past, and known for its historical temples, shrines, palaces, gardens, and architecture. {{wp|Kyoto}}, which is the basis for [[Ecruteak City]], is considered the cultural center of Japan; although {{wp|Osaka}}, which is the basis for [[Goldenrod City]], is typically modern.

==History==
1,500 years before modern times, the place now known as the Ruins of Alph was built in Johto, and the earliest known system for writing—the modern {{wp|Latin alphabet}}—was developed. Although no one knows exactly who built the Ruins of Alph, research indicates that the people in question were an ancient civilization that wished to co-exist with the enigmatic {{p|Unown}} that bear great similarity to the alphabet letters. Not only did that tribe impart messages on the ruins' walls describing the Unown, but they also erected a Pokémon statue for an unknown reason.

At some point later, outsiders began to gather near the ruins. As the Unown were timid creatures, they rejected contact with anyone but the clan that protected them. To ensure the Unown's well being, the Ruins of Alph's inhabitants decided to leave the region, but not without devising complicated puzzles so that one day the Unown could be summoned again. As for the clan, their quest led them to a mountain far to the north, where they met another group of people who had hailed from the [[Spear Pillar]]. Together, the two groups built a temple in honor of {{p|Arceus}}, which incorporated elements from both the Ruins of Alph and the Spear Pillar; this collaboration probably has to do with the underlying relationship between Arceus and the Unown. The temple, too, has since been left in ruins and its lowest floor is now known as the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]; however, the ritual of honoring [[Legendary Pokémon]] through dance circulated back to Johto, specifically to [[Ecruteak City]].

Approximately 700 years before modern times, the people of Ecruteak built two nine-tier towers with the hopes of fostering friendship and hope between Pokémon and [[human]]s. They were the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] in the west, which was said to awaken Pokémon, and the [[Bell Tower]] in the east, where Pokémon were said to rest. Both towers became the roost of powerful flying Pokémon: {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}, respectively. It is unknown what made the residents revere Lugia and Ho-Oh, but a separate tale indicates that Lugia had previously had an encounter with the people of Johto when it stopped a war on the [[Whirl Islands]], which were a single island at that time.
[[File:Brass Tower HGSS.png|thumb|left|The burned [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]]]]
The towers stood strong for about 550 years, when a lightning bolt struck the Brass Tower. It was engulfed in flames that raged for three days. A sudden downpour finally put out the blaze, but it had already burnt to the ground. Three nameless Pokémon perished in the fire, but Ho-Oh descended from the sky and resurrected them. The revived Pokémon were made to embody three powers: the {{p|Raikou|lightning}} that struck the tower, the {{p|Entei|fire}} that burned the tower, and the {{p|Suicune|rain}} that put out the fire. When the Pokémon appeared, they struck terror in those who saw their rise. The three Pokémon, knowing their own power, fled, [[roaming Pokémon|running like the wind]] off into Johto's grassland. Similarly, both Lugia and Ho-Oh flew away at the sight of the growing distance between people and Pokémon; while they never returned to Ecruteak, they yearned for a person to touch the hearts and souls of Pokémon once more.

Around these times other, smaller events occurred. 500 years before modern days, the Cianwood City Pharmacy, the world's oldest pharmacy, was built. Around 400 years ago, [[Azalea Town]] in Johto was struck by a long-term drought wave; after bringing the rain back once again by {{m|yawn}}ing, {{p|Slowpoke}} gained an honorable position in that town.

{{Spoilers}}

In contemporary history, {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} leaves [[New Bark Town]] on an errand for [[Professor Elm]]. A {{ga|Silver|red-haired boy}} steals one of Elm's three Pokémon, and challenges him/her as Ethan/Kris/Lyra's journey across Johto continues.[[Team Rocket]], which were revived from Kanto, uses plans formulated three years prior to enrage many {{p|Gyarados}}, including a [[Red Gyarados|shiny one]] at the [[Lake of Rage]]; they then proceed to take over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] in a desperate attempt to contact [[Giovanni]]. When they are defeated and Giovanni fails to return due to {{p|Celebi}}'s intervention, the interim leader, [[Archer]], vows to never again re-form Team Rocket. Ethan/Kris/Lyra continues to gather Johto's Badges, eventually gaining all eight and traveling to the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] in Kanto, later to defeat the [[Lance|current Champion]] and get into the [[Hall of Fame]].

But Ethan/Kris/Lyra's most notable effect on Johto lies in their ability to encounter all three of the [[Legendary beasts]], as well as summon the Unown, Lugia and Ho-Oh after their long absence. A new chapter in the region's history begins.

==Geography==
The Johto region, like its neighboring region, [[Kanto]], has a temperate climate. However, Johto's climate is a bit wetter than that of Kanto's.

Johto is notably more rural than the Kanto region, which leans more towards to the urban side. The region has an abundance of water to the west and south, with [[Cianwood City]] most likely being on a separate landmass. However, Johto is still dominated by land. The western parts of the region are mainly low-lying and forested and contain most of the region's population. Johto's ultra-modern [[Goldenrod City]] is found in the heart of the region, on the coast. It is the technological, industrial, and economic area of the Johto region. Due to its centralized position in the region, many smaller but important cities and towns connect to the city. There is one large mountain range encompassing almost the entire eastern half of the region, which separates Kanto and Johto and contains [[Mt. Silver]]. [[Blackthorn City]] is nestled deep between the mountains and is very unique because it is a city for {{tc|Dragon Tamer}}s.

===Demographics===
In the Johto region, including all the towns, cities, and other areas, the total population in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} is 452. As of [[Generation VIII]], it is the seventh largest region by population.

===Notable locations===
Johto has ten [[List of cities and towns|cities and towns]]. These sites act as settlements for people to live and work in a functioning society. The [[Safari Zone Gate]] and [[Frontier Access]] act as towns, but they appear to be more of a tourist destination and are not considered cities or towns. As Johto has no autonomous [[Pokémon League]], Kanto shares a League with the region, which borders between Johto and Kanto. Because of this, the two regions share a connection with each other, and unlike any other region, they are able to be traversed to with relative ease. Due to this landmass connection, the geography of Johto is relatively similar to that of its neighbor region.

The Johto region has 20 different [[routes]], which are passages permitting Trainers to travel from one location to the next with relative ease. Johto and Kanto share the same route system, and therefore starts at {{rt|29|Johto}}, picking up from where Kanto's left off at {{rt|28|Kanto}}. The numbered routes count up to 48, with Routes {{rtn|47|Johto}} and {{rtn|48|Johto}} leading off into the far west only being accessible in [[Generation IV]]. Compared to the Kanto region, there aren't many sea routes; there are many land routes and mountains. Some areas such as {{rt|33|Johto}} are constantly raining, or are purged with other types of [[weather]]; however, this wasn't seen until [[Generation IV]].

The connecting landmass between Kanto and Johto doesn't appear to be a fine line; but more or less a blurry one. {{rt|28|Kanto}} is technically owned by Kanto; however, it bridges the border between the two regions, making it the only route in history that enters two regions at one time. This is similar to Routes {{rtn|26|Kanto}} and {{rtn|27|Kanto}}, that are strictly Kanto locations; however, they are able to be transported to via {{HM|02|Fly}} from Johto in Generation IV.

====Landmarks====
[[File:Ecruteak City Landscape.png|300px|thumb|View of [[Ecruteak City]], with [[Mt. Silver]] towering over the region in the distance]]
Johto features some unique and scenic landmarks, whether they be natural or man-made. It prides itself towards mythology and tradition features, with most of the buildings, towers, caves, and locations holding a historical background. Some of the oldest places in Johto, even the Pokémon world, include the [[Ruins of Alph]], [[Sprout Tower]], [[Bell Tower]], [[Burned Tower]], and the [[Slowpoke Well]].

The Ruins of Alph, located in central Johto, is the threshold to an ancient civilization that first contacted the Unown, and became the base of which the first system for writing was formed. The Ruins of Alph have said to have been around for at least 1500 year before modern times which makes it one of the first known structures built in the history of Pokémon. As of today, the ruins are being researched by scientists and are able to be visited as a tourist attraction by visitors.

The two towers of Ecruteak City which include the [[Bell Tower]] and the [[Burned Tower]] are oldest towers in the Pokémon world, dating back to 700 years ago. The two nine-tier towers were built to foster friendship and hope between Pokémon and people and the view from the top of the towers was said to be magnificent. The towers attracted many people to the city, until about 150 years ago, a lightning bolt struck the western tower, engulfing it in flames, burning the tower down. The towers are surrounded in mystery, and are said to be home to [[Legendary Pokémon]], however, at this present point, only the ruins of the Burned Tower can be explored by Trainers, and the Bell Tower is off limits to most people.

Another famous historic location is the Sprout Tower, located in northern Violet City. The Sprout Tower is a tiered tower with multiple eaves, and much like the [[Bell Tower]] and the [[Burned Tower]], it is constructed solely out of wood, creating a multi-story effect. Surrounding the tower is a beautiful lake in the center of Violet City, hosting several architectural bridges making its way across the water. Sprout Tower is dedicated to the gentle and peaceful nature of {{p|Bellsprout}}. The giant spine-like pillar located in the center of the tower acts as a support for the old tower structure, and it even protects the tall tower from sudden earthquakes. It is said that the main swaying pillar was, in fact, once a 100-foot-tall Bellsprout. Spout Tower is four stories tall. The ground floor is much like a visitors floor, where tourists come to see the unique style of which the tower was formed. There are three other upper levels, which are dedicated to Pokémon Training; monks who study diligently and train their gentle {{p|Bellsprout}} come to teach that all living beings coexist through cooperation.

Johto also features several different kinds of natural caves and mountains including [[Mt. Mortar]], [[Mt. Silver]], [[Dark Cave]], [[Ice Path]], [[Cliff Cave]], and [[Union Cave]]. Mt. Mortar is a cave complex that travels through Johto's northernmost mountain range. It is known by Trainers to be a confusing maze-like area with an interior cave known as the Waterfall Cave. Mt. Mortar has three entrances and is huge inside, one of the largest of all caves in the Johto. It has four floors, and its high Pokémon-encounter rate makes getting lost very costly. It has {{m|Surf}}able waterways, {{m|Waterfall}}s, {{m|Strength}} puzzles, and multiple levels. Dark Cave travels through central Johto, and although the dark caves run beneath the surface of the region, the mountain range is large and a barrier between areas of the region. Mt. Silver, in the east, is also quite large and complex splitting the two regions of Kanto and Johto in half, housing many powerful Pokémon, and it is where the most skilled Trainers train their Pokémon. Another natural landmark in Johto is [[Ilex Forest]] located just west of Azalea Town. The forest's trees are so close together that all light is blocked out, and the forest seems to be in a perpetual night.

Some famous man-made landmarks include the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}, [[Pokéathlon Dome]], and {{safari|Johto}}. The Goldenrod Radio Tower is a five-story tower located next to the Magnet Train station in downtown Goldenrod City. The radio tower broadcasts numerous programs daily, the most prominent of such being Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk and Buena's Password. For a short period time the tower fell victim to the clutches of Team Rocket, during which time none of the normal broadcasts were aired. The {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}, [[Pokéathlon Dome]], and {{safari|Johto}} are all recently built attractions which provide entertainment and fun for tourists, allowing visitors to participate in activities and rides which require the help of Pokémon to complete.

Although the Johto region prides itself on the beach and some of its sea-side towns, the region has very few aquatic landmarks. The [[Lake of Rage]] is the region's most prominent water attraction, said to have been a smoking crater until it filled with rainwater. The lake is home to the world-famous [[red Gyarados]]. Because of this irritable Pokémon, the lake was marked a dangerous place to go, since the Gyarados started tipping over boats and scaring swimmers. Another famous water landmark is the [[Whirl Islands]]. Named after the dangerous whirlpools that surround them, the Whirl Islands are four islands between Olivine and Cianwood City that are connected by a maze-like cavernous structure under the water's surface. It is said that at the heart of the caves a Legendary Pokémon can be found.

==Trivia==
* Johto lacks many elements that all of the other [[region]]s have. Most of these omissions are due to it sharing them with [[Kanto]], which could be visited later on in the same {{pkmn|games}}, and the fact that recycling old concepts have not become the norm yet in the games. Therefore, it is the only region without:
** its own [[Pokémon League]] (although the {{pkmn|anime}} gives it the [[Silver Conference]]).
** a notable {{type|Water}} and {{type|Fire}} [[Type expert|specialist]].
* Johto shares its Pokémon League, [[Bill|Storage System developer]], and [[Team Rocket|villainous team]] with Kanto.
* In [[Generation II|Generations II]] and IV, between Johto and [[Kanto]], the {{t|Dark}} type and the {{t|Ground}} type are the only types not represented by an official Gym. [[Viridian City]], whose previous Gym Leader was [[Giovanni]], had the Ground type. However, when Giovanni left the Gym after being defeated by {{ga|Red}}, he was replaced by {{ga|Blue}}, who does not have a type specialty. [[Karen]] of the [[Elite Four]] uses Dark-type Pokémon, making the Ground type the only type to not have a [[Gym Leader]] or Elite Four member specialized in it in Johto and Kanto for Generations II and IV.
* Unused location data for Johto (similar to the data for [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]] used for Pal Park) exists within the programming of Generation IV's games. Pokémon actually caught in Johto, however, display as being from "[[faraway place]]" when traded to a game taking place in [[Sinnoh]], much like Pokémon caught in a Platinum-exclusive location do when traded to Diamond or Pearl.
* Kanto and Johto are the only regions that are connected to each other by land.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Johto is the only region so far in which:
** {{Ash}} did not meet a new {{ashfr|traveling companion}}.
** There is not at least one official Gym Badge that isn't from the games.
** Ash used {{AP|Pikachu}} in every Gym battle.
* The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Johto is "Johtonian", as revealed in the Official [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] Guide.

The '''Kanto''' region (Japanese: '''カントー{{tt|地方|ちほう}}''' ''{{tt|Kanto|Kantō}} {{tt|region|chihō}}'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. Kanto is located east of [[Johto]], which together form a joint landmass that is south of [[Sinnoh]].

Kanto is the setting of the [[Generation I|first generation]] of {{{p|games}}} and can be explored in [[generation|generations]] [[Generation II|II]], [[Generation III|III]], [[Generation IV|IV]], and [[Generation VII|VII]].

[[Professor Oak]] is the resident [[Pokémon Professor]] and gives [[Pokémon Trainer]]s a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. In [[Pokémon Yellow]], the only choice is a [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] that he recently caught, although he did have an {{p|Eevee}}. In [[Let's Go, Pikachu!]], the player chooses Pikachu. In [[Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player chooses Eevee. In the games, the player begins their journey in [[Pallet Town]] and ends it at [[Indigo Plateau]].

The artwork from the early games depict Kanto as grassland. Starting in Generation III, it is shown with denser tree coverage.

All cities in Kanto are named after colors, with the exception of Pallet Town, which refers to a ''palette'', meaning a range of colors. Unlike every other region, Kanto's fictional name reflects its [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real-world]] name.

==Etymology and design concept==
===Connection to Japan===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world}}
[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|left|150px|The map of Japan showing the Kanto region as the {{wp|Kantō region}}.]]

Kanto is based on the real {{wp|Kantō region}} ({{tt|関|かん}}{{tt|東|とう}}, ''east of the barrier'') in Japan. Commercially-oriented [[Celadon City]] and [[Saffron City]] are based on the sprawling city of {{wp|Tokyo}}, the most important economic center of Japan. [[Vermilion City]] is based on {{wp|Yokohama}}, the largest seaport in Japan.

Kantō and {{wp|Kansai region|Kansai}} are the two most populous areas of {{wp|Honshū}}, the largest island of Japan, and much like Kanto and Johto, represent a harmony of contrasting cultures living together. The differences are most noticeable in the games while talking to the inhabitants of both regions. Compared to traditional Kansai, on which Johto is based, Kanto is modern and technological. This may be reflected in the look of the cities and the buildings, such as the Pokémon Lab of Cinnabar Island and the Power Plant. While Kanto is the centerpoint for innovation, with the [[Poké Ball|Poké Ball's]] ultimate upgrade, the [[Master Ball]], having been recently invented by [[Silph Co.]] at the time of [[Generation I]], it is also the only Pokémon region without any myths related to Pokémon.

{{-}}

==History==
[[File:Capsule Monsters map.jpg|thumb|200px|An early design of Kanto from [[Capsule Monsters]]]]
The Kanto region has a rich history of creating Pokémon with technology.

Many researchers have had great success in creating life in Kanto . [[Mr. Fuji|A researcher]] once cloned {{p|Mew}} through its genes and created the Genetic Pokémon {{p|Mewtwo}}. {{p|Porygon}}, the Virtual Pokémon, was also created by researchers in Kanto.

{{Spoilers}}

In contemporary history, {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}} is given a Pokémon by [[Professor Oak]] for personal safety. Professor Oak also gives his grandson, {{ga|Blue}}, a Pokémon and asks Blue and Red/Leaf to help him fill the Pokédex, a complete encyclopedia on Pokémon. Thus, the journey of Red/Leaf begins. Red/Leaf travels across the Kanto region and collects all eight Gym Badges. During their journey, Red/Leaf comes across [[Team Rocket]], an evil organization behind the theft and illegal profit of Pokémon. Red/Leaf stops Team Rocket and defeats [[Giovanni]], their boss, as well as the Gym Leader of [[Viridian Gym]], who then disbands Team Rocket. In the meantime, Blue, who has also collected all of the Kanto Gym Badges, defeats the [[Elite Four]] at the [[Indigo League]] and becomes the champion of the Kanto region. Finally, Red/Leaf also reaches the Indigo League and defeats Blue to gain the title of the new Indigo League Champion.

Three years later, {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}}, a Trainer that hails from Johto, comes to Kanto and collects all eight Kanto Gym Badges. Ethan/Kris/Lyra is then the current Indigo League Champion that met and defeated Red.

==Geography==
[[File:Kanto anime.png|thumb|250px|Kanto in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Kanto Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Kanto in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
The Kanto region has a very temperate climate and not many notable landscape features, though this may be due to the region's origins in the [[Generation I]] games.

The majority of the Kanto region are forests and plains. Many of the major Kanto cities are in the center of the region, with close access to virtually every environment such as the sea, mountains, forests, etc. Kanto is mostly dominated by land, but has a large bay in the middle which opens to a sea in the southwest. Kanto has a contrast between urban cities and rural towns. Kanto has several mountain ranges, which are mostly in northern and western Kanto. [[Indigo Plateau]] and {{ka|Victory Road}} mountain range divides Kanto from the neighboring [[Johto]] region.

===Demographics===
Including all the cities and towns in the Kanto region, the total population in [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} is 391, while in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the population is 364. Since [[Generation II]], it has been the smallest region by population.

===Notable locations===
The Kanto region features ten [[List of cities and towns|towns and cities]]. There is a wide variety of towns and cities throughout the region; from the large, urban [[Saffron City]] to the quiet, quaint town of {{to|Pallet}}. Kanto features a [[Pokémon League]], like most other regions in the [[Pokémon world]]. However, since Kanto shares its borders with [[Johto]], it also shares the same Pokémon League. Kanto and Johto are the only known regions that can be crossed with relative ease. Even though Kanto and Johto are culturally and socially different, the two regions are actually very similar in terms of geography.

The Kanto region includes 28 different routes, which act as roads to cities and towns or points of interest. The Johto region follows Kanto's route number which ends at {{rt|28|Kanto}} in the Kanto region and begins with Johto's {{rt|29|Johto}}. Unlike other regions, Kanto does not have routes featuring any sort of weather conditions, such as [[Hoenn]]'s {{rt|119|Hoenn}} which rains and thunders constantly and [[Sinnoh]]'s {{rt|217|Sinnoh}} in which hail regularly falls. The Kanto region seems to have the most temperate climate of the [[Region|eight main regions]].

The connecting landmass between Kanto and Johto does not appear to be a fine line, but more or less a blurry one. Route 28 is technically owned by Kanto; however, it bridges the border between the two regions, making it the only route in history that enters two regions at one time. This is similar to Routes 26 and 27, that are strictly Kanto locations; however, they are able to be transported to via {{HM|02|Fly}} from Johto in Generation IV.

According to [[Professor Oak]], a stone tablet was discovered in Kanto, like the one that is able to summon {{p|Shaymin}} on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}} in [[Sinnoh]]. This is mentioned during the event in which {{player}}s {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{p|Shaymin}} in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, but the Kanto stone tablet is not seen in any game.

====Routes====
Routes in Kanto began the numbering process, going from {{rtn|1|Kanto}} to {{rtn|25|Kanto}} in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, but adding three routes to connect to Johto ({{rtn|26|Kanto}}, {{rtn|27|Kanto}}, and {{rtn|28|Kanto}}) in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}.

===Differences between generations===
Between Generation I and Generation III, Kanto is very much the same with some alterations in respect to the improved graphics and gameplay in the remakes. Additionally in FireRed and LeafGreen, a chain of islands known as the [[Sevii Islands]], located far south of mainland Kanto, are unlocked throughout the {{player}}'s quest, with the first three accessible once Blaine is defeated on Cinnabar Island. Becoming the [[Pokémon Champion]] and getting the [[National Pokédex]] unlocks the other islands which make up this archipelago.

In the Generation II games as well as {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Trainers may travel from Johto to Kanto and notice that changes have occurred as a result of three years having passed since the time of the Generation I games and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}:

* The Safari Zone has closed as a result of [[Baoba|the warden]] taking a trip. In Generation II, it is simply inaccessible during normal gameplay while it has been relocated to Johto in Generation IV, with the original area now housing a [[Pal Park]].
* [[Cerulean Cave]], also known as "Unknown Dungeon" has collapsed in [[Generation II]], but in [[Generation IV]], however, it has re-excavated.
* Cinnabar Island has been destroyed by an eruption of the volcano, and its Gym has been relocated to the Seafoam Islands.
* In Generation II only, Viridian Forest became drastically smaller and was a part of [[Kanto Route 2|Route 2]].
* Mt. Moon has greatly decreased in size due to rock slides.
* The Power Plant has become functional.
* The Pokémon Tower has become a radio tower. The Pokémon graves it housed have been moved to the [[House of Memories]].
* Blue has taken over Viridian Gym since Giovanni's retreat for training and remodeled the Gym to suit his tastes.
* Janine has taken over Fuchsia Gym since her father Koga has been promoted to the [[Elite Four]].
* In Generation II only, the Pewter Museum of Science is closed for renovations.
* The southern portion of {{rt|23|Kanto}} was removed in Generation II, and the stone maze that was in the northern portion is gone, leaving a simple, straight path. In Generation IV, though this same northern portion exists, it is labeled as a part of [[Indigo Plateau]], meaning that Route 23 no longer exists.
* The Badge checks have been combined into the Pokémon League Reception Gate, instead of being scattered along Route 23.

==Trivia==
[[File:GenI JA Kanto Town Map Reference.png|thumb|"A map of the Kanto region! I hope she gives it to me..."]]
* Until the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Kanto's name was seen only once in the Japanese [[Generation I]] games: upon viewing the [[Town Map]] at {{ga|Blue}}'s house. It was never mentioned in the Generation I games outside of Japan, and thus, many fans assumed the [[region]] was called "Indigo", based on the [[Indigo Plateau]]'s name. By the time the [[Generation III]] remakes, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, were released, Kanto's name was firmly established and appeared regularly in-game.
*Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, after Ash defeated [[Maylene]] and [[Crasher Wake]] (not to mention just before Ash challenges [[Fantina]]), Kanto was the only region in the {{pkmn|anime}} where Ash defeated the [[Gym Leader]]s in a different order from the games.
** It is also the only region thus far to feature [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)|an element]] that was actually in a different region in the games. This may have been done to simultaneously promote {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}.
* Kanto has certain traits that generally separates it from other [[region]]s:
** It is the only region in the [[Pokémon world]] that shares its name with {{wp|Kantō region|the real-world region}} it was based on.
** It is also the only region where the [[Pokémon League]] is located to the west of every Gym.
** Kanto and [[Johto]] are the only regions that are connected to each other by land.
** Kanto is the only region without a city with a population of at least 100.
* In [[Generation I]], Kanto was slightly redesigned twice after its initial appearance: signposts, doors, and other minor details, along with certain locations, such as [[Cerulean Cave]], were changed between {{game3|Red and Green|Pocket Monsters Red and Green|s}} and [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pocket Monsters Blue]], and then again between Pocket Monsters Blue and {{game3|Yellow|Pocket Monsters Pikachu}}. The international {{game|Red and Blue|s}} reused the tilesets and other graphics from Pocket Monsters Blue, while international {{game|Yellow}} featured the same design as its original Japanese release.
** However, it would be the original design from {{game3|Red and Green|Pocket Monsters Red and Green|s}} that was ultimately reused in Kanto's [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] appearances.
* Kanto has appeared in the most games and [[generation]]s to date, having appeared in fourteen games (fifteen in Japan) over the course of five generations.
** {{game3|Red and Green|Pocket Monsters Red and Green|s}}, [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pocket Monsters Blue]], {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and {{game|Yellow}} in [[Generation I]];
** {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} in [[Generation II]];
** {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} in [[Generation III]];
** {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in [[Generation IV]];
** [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] in [[Generation VII]].
* Kanto is briefly mentioned in ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'' during the narration that [[Dr. Ann Laurent]] did during the creation of {{OBP|Mewtwo|Detective Pikachu}}.
* The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Kanto is "Kantonian", as seen in multiple sources, such as the [[Kantonian Gym]], and dialogue in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

The '''Kanto''' region (Japanese: '''カントー{{tt|地方|ちほう}}''' ''{{tt|Kanto|Kantō}} {{tt|region|chihō}}'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. Kanto is located east of [[Johto]], which together form a joint landmass that is south of [[Sinnoh]].

Kanto is the setting of the [[Generation I|first generation]] of {{{p|games}}} and can be explored in [[generation|generations]] [[Generation II|II]], [[Generation III|III]], [[Generation IV|IV]], and [[Generation VII|VII]].

[[Professor Oak]] is the resident [[Pokémon Professor]] and gives [[Pokémon Trainer]]s a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. In [[Pokémon Yellow]], the only choice is a [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] that he recently caught, although he did have an {{p|Eevee}}. In [[Let's Go, Pikachu!]], the player chooses Pikachu. In [[Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player chooses Eevee. In the games, the player begins their journey in [[Pallet Town]] and ends it at [[Indigo Plateau]].

The artwork from the early games depict Kanto as grassland. Starting in Generation III, it is shown with denser tree coverage.

All cities in Kanto are named after colors, with the exception of Pallet Town, which refers to a ''palette'', meaning a range of colors. Unlike every other region, Kanto's fictional name reflects its [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real-world]] name.

==Etymology and design concept==
===Connection to Japan===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world}}
[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|left|150px|The map of Japan showing the Kanto region as the {{wp|Kantō region}}.]]

Kanto is based on the real {{wp|Kantō region}} ({{tt|関|かん}}{{tt|東|とう}}, ''east of the barrier'') in Japan. Commercially-oriented [[Celadon City]] and [[Saffron City]] are based on the sprawling city of {{wp|Tokyo}}, the most important economic center of Japan. [[Vermilion City]] is based on {{wp|Yokohama}}, the largest seaport in Japan.

Kantō and {{wp|Kansai region|Kansai}} are the two most populous areas of {{wp|Honshū}}, the largest island of Japan, and much like Kanto and Johto, represent a harmony of contrasting cultures living together. The differences are most noticeable in the games while talking to the inhabitants of both regions. Compared to traditional Kansai, on which Johto is based, Kanto is modern and technological. This may be reflected in the look of the cities and the buildings, such as the Pokémon Lab of Cinnabar Island and the Power Plant. While Kanto is the centerpoint for innovation, with the [[Poké Ball|Poké Ball's]] ultimate upgrade, the [[Master Ball]], having been recently invented by [[Silph Co.]] at the time of [[Generation I]], it is also the only Pokémon region without any myths related to Pokémon.

==History==
[[File:Capsule Monsters map.jpg|thumb|200px|An early design of Kanto from [[Capsule Monsters]]]]
The Kanto region has a rich history of creating Pokémon with technology.

Many researchers have had great success in creating life in Kanto . [[Mr. Fuji|A researcher]] once cloned {{p|Mew}} through its genes and created the Genetic Pokémon {{p|Mewtwo}}. {{p|Porygon}}, the Virtual Pokémon, was also created by researchers in Kanto.

{{Spoilers}}

In contemporary history, {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}} is given a Pokémon by [[Professor Oak]] for personal safety. Professor Oak also gives his grandson, {{ga|Blue}}, a Pokémon and asks Blue and Red/Leaf to help him fill the Pokédex, a complete encyclopedia on Pokémon. Thus, the journey of Red/Leaf begins. Red/Leaf travels across the Kanto region and collects all eight Gym Badges. During their journey, Red/Leaf comes across [[Team Rocket]], an evil organization behind wrongdoings about Pokémon. Red/Leaf stops Team Rocket and defeats [[Giovanni]], their boss as well as the Gym Leader of [[Viridian Gym]], who then disbands Team Rocket. In the meantime, Blue, who has also collected all of the Kanto Gym Badges, defeats the [[Elite Four]] at the [[Indigo League]] and becomes the champion of the Kanto region. Finally, Red/Leaf makes it up to him and defeats him to gain the title of the Indigo League Champion.

Three years later, {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}}, a Trainer from Johto, comes to Kanto and collects all eight Kanto Gym Badges. Ethan/Kris/Lyra is the current Indigo League Champion and has also met and defeated Red.

==Geography==
[[File:Kanto anime.png|thumb|250px|Kanto in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Kanto Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Kanto in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
The Kanto region has a very temperate climate and not many notable landscape features, though this may be due to the region's origins in the [[Generation I]] games.

The majority of the Kanto region are forests and plains. Many of the major Kanto cities are in the center of the region, with close access to virtually every environment such as the sea, mountains, forests, etc. Kanto is mostly dominated by land, but has a large bay in the middle which opens to a sea in the southwest. Kanto has a contrast between urban cities and rural towns. Kanto has several mountain ranges, which are mostly in northern and western Kanto. [[Indigo Plateau]] and {{ka|Victory Road}} mountain range divides Kanto from the neighboring [[Johto]] region.

===Demographics===
Including all the cities and towns in the Kanto region, the total population in [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} is 391, while in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the population is 364. Since [[Generation II]], it has been the smallest region by population.

===Notable locations===
The Kanto region features ten [[List of cities and towns|towns and cities]]. There is a wide variety of towns and cities throughout the region; from the large, urban [[Saffron City]] to the quiet, quaint town of {{to|Pallet}}. Kanto features a [[Pokémon League]], like most other regions in the [[Pokémon world]]. However, since Kanto shares its borders with [[Johto]], it also shares the same Pokémon League. Kanto and Johto are the only known regions that can be crossed with relative ease. Even though Kanto and Johto are culturally and socially different, the two regions are actually very similar in terms of geography.

The Kanto region includes 28 different routes, which act as roads to cities and towns or points of interest. The Johto region follows Kanto's route number which ends at {{rt|28|Kanto}} in the Kanto region and begins with Johto's {{rt|29|Johto}}. Unlike other regions, Kanto does not have routes featuring any sort of weather conditions, such as [[Hoenn]]'s {{rt|119|Hoenn}} which rains and thunders constantly and [[Sinnoh]]'s {{rt|217|Sinnoh}} in which hail regularly falls. The Kanto region seems to have the most temperate climate of the [[Region|eight main regions]].

The connecting landmass between Kanto and Johto does not appear to be a fine line, but more or less a blurry one. Route 28 is technically owned by Kanto; however, it bridges the border between the two regions, making it the only route in history that enters two regions at one time. This is similar to Routes 26 and 27, that are strictly Kanto locations; however, they are able to be transported to via {{HM|02|Fly}} from Johto in Generation IV.

According to [[Professor Oak]], a stone tablet was discovered in Kanto, like the one that is able to summon {{p|Shaymin}} on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}} in [[Sinnoh]]. This is mentioned during the event in which {{player}}s {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{p|Shaymin}} in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, but the Kanto stone tablet is not seen in any game.

====Routes====
Routes in Kanto began the numbering process, going from {{rtn|1|Kanto}} to {{rtn|25|Kanto}} in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, but adding three routes to connect to Johto ({{rtn|26|Kanto}}, {{rtn|27|Kanto}}, and {{rtn|28|Kanto}}) in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}.

===Differences between generations===
Between Generation I and Generation III, Kanto is very much the same with some alterations in respect to the improved graphics and gameplay in the remakes. Additionally in FireRed and LeafGreen, a chain of islands known as the [[Sevii Islands]], located far south of mainland Kanto, are unlocked throughout the {{player}}'s quest, with the first three accessible once Blaine is defeated on Cinnabar Island. Becoming the [[Pokémon Champion]] and getting the [[National Pokédex]] unlocks the other islands which make up this archipelago.

In the Generation II games as well as {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Trainers may travel from Johto to Kanto and notice that changes have occurred as a result of three years having passed since the time of the Generation I games and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}:

* The Safari Zone has closed as a result of [[Baoba|the warden]] taking a trip. In Generation II, it is simply inaccessible during normal gameplay while it has been relocated to Johto in Generation IV, with the original area now housing a [[Pal Park]].
* [[Cerulean Cave]], also known as "Unknown Dungeon" has collapsed in [[Generation II]], but in [[Generation IV]], however, it has re-excavated.
* Cinnabar Island has been destroyed by an eruption of the volcano, and its Gym has been relocated to the Seafoam Islands.
* In Generation II only, Viridian Forest became drastically smaller and was a part of [[Kanto Route 2|Route 2]].
* Mt. Moon has greatly decreased in size due to rock slides.
* The Power Plant has become functional.
* The Pokémon Tower has become a radio tower. The Pokémon graves it housed have been moved to the [[House of Memories]].
* Blue has taken over Viridian Gym since Giovanni's retreat for training and remodeled the Gym to suit his tastes.
* Janine has taken over Fuchsia Gym since her father Koga has been promoted to the [[Elite Four]].
* In Generation II only, the Pewter Museum of Science is closed for renovations.
* The southern portion of {{rt|23|Kanto}} was removed in Generation II, and the stone maze that was in the northern portion is gone, leaving a simple, straight path. In Generation IV, though this same northern portion exists, it is labeled as a part of [[Indigo Plateau]], meaning that Route 23 no longer exists.
* The Badge checks have been combined into the Pokémon League Reception Gate, instead of being scattered along Route 23.

==Trivia==
[[File:GenI JA Kanto Town Map Reference.png|thumb|"A map of the Kanto region! I hope she gives it to me..."]]
* Until the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Kanto's name was seen only once in the Japanese [[Generation I]] games: upon viewing the [[Town Map]] at {{ga|Blue}}'s house. It was never mentioned in the Generation I games outside of Japan, and thus, many fans assumed the [[region]] was called "Indigo", based on the [[Indigo Plateau]]'s name. By the time the [[Generation III]] remakes, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, were released, Kanto's name was firmly established and appeared regularly in-game.
*Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, after Ash defeated [[Maylene]] and [[Crasher Wake]] (not to mention just before Ash challenges [[Fantina]]), Kanto was the only region in the {{pkmn|anime}} where Ash defeated the [[Gym Leader]]s in a different order from the games.
** It is also the only region thus far to feature [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)|an element]] that was actually in a different region in the games. This may have been done to simultaneously promote {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}.
* Kanto has certain traits that generally separates it from other [[region]]s:
** It is the only region in the [[Pokémon world]] that shares its name with {{wp|Kantō region|the real-world region}} it was based on.
** It is also the only region where the [[Pokémon League]] is located to the west of every Gym.
** Kanto and [[Johto]] are the only regions that are connected to each other by land.
** Kanto is the only region without a city with a population of at least 100.
* In [[Generation I]], Kanto was slightly redesigned twice after its initial appearance: signposts, doors, and other minor details, along with certain locations, such as [[Cerulean Cave]], were changed between {{game3|Red and Green|Pocket Monsters Red and Green|s}} and [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pocket Monsters Blue]], and then again between Pocket Monsters Blue and {{game3|Yellow|Pocket Monsters Pikachu}}. The international {{game|Red and Blue|s}} reused the tilesets and other graphics from Pocket Monsters Blue, while international {{game|Yellow}} featured the same design as its original Japanese release.
** However, it would be the original design from {{game3|Red and Green|Pocket Monsters Red and Green|s}} that was ultimately reused in Kanto's [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] appearances.
* Kanto has appeared in the most games and [[generation]]s to date, having appeared in fourteen games (fifteen in Japan) over the course of five generations.
** {{game3|Red and Green|Pocket Monsters Red and Green|s}}, [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pocket Monsters Blue]], {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and {{game|Yellow}} in [[Generation I]];
** {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} in [[Generation II]];
** {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} in [[Generation III]];
** {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in [[Generation IV]];
** [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] in [[Generation VII]].
* Kanto is briefly mentioned in ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'' during the narration that [[Dr. Ann Laurent]] did during the creation of {{OBP|Mewtwo|Detective Pikachu}}.
* The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Kanto is "Kantonian", as seen in multiple sources, such as the [[Kantonian Gym]], and dialogue in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

Talk:Porygon (Pokémon)

2022-05-13T05:42:19Z

Necrozma800:

== Bred moves ==

How come there's no section on Porygon's bred moves?? [[User:Count Caterpie|Count]] [[User talk:Count Caterpie|Caterpie]] 13:05, 21 November 2007
:That's because Porygon can only breed with Ditto... '''[[User:Optimus35|Agent]] [[User talk:Optimus35|#448]]''' [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?limit=50&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=Optimus35&namespace=0&year=&month=-1 ☆] | [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZPMmUEHFIU ♥] 08:33, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

== Paper Crane ==

is it just me or does Porygon look like a paper crane

http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z261/Dakclaw/PaperCrane.jpg- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Dakclaw|Dakclaw]] ([[User talk:Dakclaw|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dakclaw|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

Well...sort of, in the sense they're both 'squarey'. If Pokemon in My Pokemon Ranch look like origami, does that mean Porygon will look normal? [[User:Bttsstewart|Bttsstewart]] 13:54, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Is there actually any support for this paper crane theory? As far as I can see, the similarities are marginal, at best. The Japanese sources I've checked make no mention of a connection to a paper crane, and just talk about the English word "polygon". Unless someone has a reference for this, I'm changing the Origin section back. --[[User:Sensei Hanzo|Sensei Hanzo]] ([[User talk:Sensei Hanzo|talk]]) 15:16, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

== Porygon and Team Rocket ==

Doesn't it strike all of you as suspicious that initially, Porygon is ONLY obtainable through a Team Rocket-run establishment? Not to mention, Porygon was developed in Pokémon Lab, which presumably has some connection to the Pokémon Mansion, where Mewtwo was supposedly created in the games? And as we all know, anime-wise anyway, Team Rocket was responsible for Mewtwo. AND, the only in-game trainers that use Porygon are in league with Team Rocket! So, is it possible that Porygon was, in fact, created by [[Team Rocket scientists]]? I'm [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]], and I approve this [[User Talk:Missingno. Master|message.]] 13:43, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
:Hmm. This is a kind of cross-canon analysis. Maybe note this? Just don't get too into "OMGZ PORYGON IZ TR'S!!" '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 16:52, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

::Jessie and James also used a Porygon in [[EP038|that infamous episode]]. I'm not sure where they got it, though. I think they stole it. I only saw the episode once. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 20:22, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

== Intro of the movies ==

The trivia section states that Porygon's been in the intro of one movie - however, I think several movie sections state that "like the other movie, Porygon is shown in the intro yada yada".. I think I've seen this mentioned in at least four movies, but to be honest, I've never paid attention to whether or not Porygon is in a movie, so could someone please clarify this? [[User:Sipulichu|Sipulichu]] 18:22, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

:The trivia links to [[Pokémon Heroes]]. The movie's trivia section states that the intro for this movie was the same as the ones before it. I do remember seeing a Porygon in at least one movie, it was peering from behind a fence. I think that was the fifth movie, but I don't remember the intro of the first four. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 18:50, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
:: The "Pokémon World" opening was only used for the fourth and fifth movies. In the appearances section of the article it stated it was used for "the first five movies" and the trivia section stated it was used for only "one of the movies". I changed both statements XD [[User:Moltres93|Moltres93]] 12:06, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

== Platinum ==

Any truth to the rumors that you can get one pre-national dex on pokemon platinum? That's what it says [http://www.pokemonplatinum.net/ here] (you have to scroll a bit down). It'd be stunning news if it were true... But I havn't seen anyone talk about it, even to say it's fake. [[User:Noname|Noname]]

Yes you get it in Veilstone City from a guy in the house just above the PokeCenter.
25th level given free.
And of course as an event based pokemon save and reset until you get what you like.
( Mine has IVs of 30HP-25ATT-29DEF-23SA-15SD-29SP give or take one on each stat ) {{unsigned|Chromehawk}}

== '''''4''''' Signature Moves!? ==

I thought there were only '''''3''''': {{m|Sharpen}}, {{m|Conversion}}, and {{m|Conversion 2}}. If there ''is'' a 4th one (and I doubt there is), what is it? I really don't think there is one, though, because the trivia says that Porygon is tied with {{p|Vespiquen}} for having the most signature moves, and she only has 3: {{m|Attack Order}}, {{m|Defend Order}}, and {{m|Heal Order}}. {{unsigned|SharKing}}

:In the case for the first Generation, I believe that said Signature Move would be Tri-Attack. Though it has changed in later generations, it did not change the fact that only a handful of Pokemon can learn this move. [[User:HechEff|HechEff]] 03:02, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
::Dodrio could learn it. [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Nos hablamos?]] 03:05, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

:True... But Tri-Attack was still pretty 'rare' in terms of who can learn it back then, no? [[User:HechEff|HechEff]] 14:34, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
::It was a TM. [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 00:27, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

:::{{m|Zap Cannon}}, {{m|Sharpen}}, {{m|Conversion}}, and {{m|Conversion 2}}. Tri attack was naturally learned by {{p|Magneton}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, and {{p|Dugtrio}} anyway. Zap Cannon expanded after Gen I. --- Aura-Knight 00:31, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
::::Zap Cannon did not exist in Gen I. [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Nos hablamos?]] 00:35, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::Darn it, checked that myself just now. Then the article is wrong, while Porygon is one of the few to naturally learn Zap Cannon, it was a TM in [[Gen II]]. --- Aura-Knight 00:38, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

== Porygon fits body style 5 better then 7 ==

I changed the body style to 5 because it fits Porygon better. I did the same with Porygon2 (which had nothing on the talk page) and changed Porygon-Z to body type 9. [[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 19:23, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

==LEGO==

I was on LEGO.com one day and I noticed that one of the creations was a Porygon!
From your friendly neighborhood Charizard--[[User:Ultamatecharizard]]

==Number 1337==
Did anyone notice that Porygon's Kanto/National number (#137) is very close to "[[Wikipedia:leet|1337]]" which is Internet Speak for "leet"? It references the fact that it is a Pokémon made entirely out of coding. Even if it were an unlikely coincidence, it still is pretty cool! -- [[User:Zedd|Zedd]] 20:10, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
:If it's a coincidence, that's a very good one. Thanks for pointing it out! [[User:HechEff|HechEff]] 23:41, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
::While it wasn't before the creation of 1337, I'd doubt that the (at the time) underground American Hacker culture was relevant to the dex number to Japanese makers. --- Aura-Knight 00:38, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

== "Wild" Porygon in the Trophy Garden ==

While technically true, isn't it because they were 'released' into the garden by Urayama/Mr.Backlot? [[User:HechEff|HechEff]] 23:40, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
:Indeed, that is why. Well, it's because they were placed by his SERVANT, actually, but, close enough. [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Nos hablamos?]] 23:45, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
::Really depends. Ive always thought of them as being wild in the garden, and when it was mowed over for a building, they were captured, and were released back into captivity when told to.[[User:DCM|DCM]][[User talk:DCM|((曲奇饼妖怪]][[Special:Contributions/DCM|Spy on My Edits))]] 01:46, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Which got me curious; considering the fact that Porygon has both states of being either data (energy?) and material (as a Pokémon) at a given time. Though they will be considered "wild" when released, it is certainly not in the same sense as wild Pidgey or even "naturally occured" Legendary Pokemon... [[User:HechEff|HechEff]] 02:55, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

== Anyone notice ==

Everyone is talking about how it wasn't Porygon who caused the seizures but yet Porygon is banned. Well, I think I have a good reason why, but i need some aproval. Does anyone think that Porygon could be banned because of itself being both blue nad red. It should only be put in trivia because it is pure speculation. --[[User:Landfish7| Land]][[User talk:Landfish7|fish]][[User talk:Landfish7|7]] 01:19, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
:What? Its banned because of the colors it is? WRONG[[User:DCM|DCM]][[User talk:DCM|((Mock Me]][[Special:Contributions/DCM|Edits))]] 01:23, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Why is Porygon-Z in the "Curse" section of the Trivia?--[[User:Makupe|Makupe]] 22:05, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

== Old picture. ==

Why does the picture of Porygon come from Pokemon ''Red and Green''? Can someone tell me if I've done something wrong with this (i'm relatively new). 20:55, 1 September 2010. [[User:Pikabuddy II|Pikabuddy II]] 08:55, 1 September 2010 (UTC) [[User: Pikabuddy II]]
:TTE's introduced some coding that makes it show the older art on the anniversaries of release of certain games. Today's the anniversary of RB, so the Gen I Pokémon get their Gen I art. Note that the Main Page is also red and blue for the same reason. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 09:21, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

== #137 ==

Zedd already brought up the possible reference to 1337, but I think the more likely alternative is that is was based on the {{wp|Fine-Structure Constant}} since it is a scientific Pokémon. [[User:Frankjohnson123|Frankjohnson123]] 21:22, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

==Not first man-made Pokémon?==

According to Golurks Pokédex entry: "It is said that Golurk were ordered to protect people and Pokémon by the ancient people who made them." Does that mean that Golurk were actually the first Pokémon that were man-made? [[User:Pikiwyn|'''Pikiwyn''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 16:09, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
:Hmmm, I don't know... May be the first in the overall timeline, but Porygon was released first. [[User:Questioner|Questioner]] 21:15, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

== Irony ==

Isn't it ironic that when transfered to Gold and Silver that Porygon is holding a bitter berry? [[User:Ordelore|Ordelore]] ([[User talk:Ordelore|talk]]) 16:09, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
:Do you care to explain your reasoning? I don't see how this is [http://thatsnotironic.com/ ironic] at all. Do you mean because it's electronic and therefore can't taste? Because I'd say (a) that's really more coincidental than ironic, and (b) it's also completely trivial and isn't worth adding to the article. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 18:44, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

== Learnable moves ==

So... Porygon's moveset, as of gen VI, is...
Tilde Tilde Tilde Tilde [[User:Omega Metroid|Omega Metroid]] ([[User talk:Omega Metroid|talk]]) 02:50, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Level-up moves:
* [[Conversion]] learned at Lv.1.
* [[Tackle]] learned at Lv.1.
* [[Conversion 2]] learned at Lv.1.
* [[Sharpen]] learned at Lv.1.

== Japanese name ==

In my Japanese version of Pokemon Pinball, Pokemon names are romanized when caught and for ポリゴン it says Polygon, not Porygon. Unless other official Japanese sources say Porygon, I think this needs to be corrected on the page --[[User:Snugglefox|Snugglefox]] ([[User talk:Snugglefox|talk]]) 10:42, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
:Other official Japanese sources do say Porygon. We wouldn't have it that way if they didn't. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:21, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

== "20 years prior" ==

According to the Japanese exclusive [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]], Porygon was created in 1995, and it would seem nescient to gloss over this piece of information if you ask me. {{unsigned|Inkster}}

Technically yes but that's more of a trivia comment. If you ask me. [[User:Necrozma800|Necrozma800]] ([[User talk:Necrozma800|talk]]) 05:42, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

<s>Could Aurorus and Tyrantrum be added to the page, or will they be added after this mystery Pokémon is revealed tomorrow?</s> Scratch that. Aurorus, Tyrantrum, and Doublade need to be added. --[[User talk:Relicant|The]] [[Special:Contributions/Relicant|Truth]] aka Relicant 16:19, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

== 719, 720, 721 ==

I remember reading somewhere that someone discovered Pokemon past Zygarde. Should we add them? [[User:Liberty Bell|Liberty Bell]] ([[User talk:Liberty Bell|talk]]) 14:25, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
:We know about them, but we can't really confirm them since this time we neither can crack into the game to see all the data, nor they've been officialy revealed... at least for now. [[User:Uploader|Uploader]] ([[User talk:Uploader|talk]]) 14:39, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

== Cottonee's type change ==

Can anyone add Fairy type to Cottonee please, that's because it's evolution is also Fairy type. Thank you! [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ([[User talk:Cinday123|talk]]) 06:56, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

== False typing ==

Cottonee and Whimsicott are not fairy type. Why do people keep stating that when you cannot even find them in x or y? --[[User:Admantus|Admantus]] ([[User talk:Admantus|talk]]) 19:07, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
:You can't catch them yourself, but they are used by other Trainers in battle facilities, etc. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 20:19, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

::And according to Serebii, Cottonee line is now Fairy type, however, you can't catch them in Kalos and the only way to get them is to transfer Pokémon from Black, White, Black 2 or White 2 to X or Y, this is because it is not available to catch in Kalos however you have a chance to see them in battle facilities whereas Trainers used Whimsicott. [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ([[User talk:Cinday123|talk]]) 08:52, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Well, Serebii might be wrong, because they haven't even updated the sprites for the other unobtainable pokemon that appear post-game. I think that the types should be switched back to pure grass until pokemon bank comes out. --[[User:Admantus|Admantus]] ([[User talk:Admantus|talk]]) 20:56, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

:That has nothing to do with it. I mean, the information on Bulbapedia is always confirmed information. And any information that wasn't confirmed gets removed. So, the fact that Cottonee/Whimsicott being Grass/Fairy hasn't been removed or altered back to it's original information/typing means it's been confirmed. And like [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] and others have said, just because you can't catch it in the Kalos region games doesn't mean you can't still obtain it. And that means, the information for Cottonee & Whimsicott are programmed in the games. So, I say let it be.

== Secret Gen 6 Pokemon ==

What about those secret Pokemon from Gen 6? The ones after Zygarde? Shouldn't they be on here now? [[User:MegaNerd18|MegaNerd18]] ([[User talk:MegaNerd18|talk]]) 11:36, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

:I'm so sorry, the Pokémon Company haven't revealed these mythical Pokémon so let's just leave it for now until it's revealed so we don't know yet. [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 12:24, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Well I think the hacker who discovered the secret Pokemon is reliable because the Pokemon he found where: Hoopla, Volcanion, Daince, Fancy Vivillon, and the Mega Eon twins. Four out of six have revealed. If we do put in Hoopla and Volcaion when should put a little star (*) like on the list of Pokemon in the a area in the ranger game if you must release them after you catch them. --[[User:AbsolX|AbsolX]] ([[User talk:AbsolX|talk]]) 17:46, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

== Generation VI Sprites ==

Why there are no sprites for the new Pokémon introduced in X and Y? [[User:Dalton358|Dalton358]] ([[User talk:Dalton358|talk]]) 20:25, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
:Because we don't have them and we don't allow taking from other sites without permission. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 20:33, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
::I figured it would take longer to get them, because it's on a different system. I wonder how the other websites got their images. [[User:Dalton358|Dalton358]] ([[User talk:Dalton358|talk]]) 21:41, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
:::They have 3DS capture cards. Few Bulbapedia users do, and the only ones I've seen with them have been focusing on other things, like Trainer images. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 21:44, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

== Multiple Pokédeces in Generation VI ==
In the Generation VI, there are 3 Pokédeces: Kalos Central, Kalos Coastal and Kalos Mountain. For example:
# Chespin is Kalos Central #001
# Inkay is Kalos Coastal #010
# Goomy is Kalos Mountain #019
The list doesn't reflect it.

-[[User:Iosue|Iosue]] ([[User talk:Iosue|talk]]) 08:27, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
:That's because this is the National Pokédex list. You want [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number]]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:32, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
::Of course I understand that. I am not stupid. I can read. What I am suggesting is to add a very small token in front of each Kalos number to indicate if it is Central, Coastal or Mountain, as these are a part of the Generation VI dex. If there is no indication of the sub-region, the column of the table of Generation VI will have limited meaning here. I'd suggest you either delete the whole column, or add the small indication of which sub-region the number belongs to. -[[User:Iosue|Iosue]] ([[User talk:Iosue|talk]]) 04:39, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
:::This is still an issue. Scatterbug and Sligoo are still labeled with the same number in the Kalos Dex without distinction. Also, that column is labelled VIDex, which will be misleading with the release of ORAS. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 06:55, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
::::I concur with the main issue. Don't write completely undifferentiated numbers as if all you have to do is scroll through one Pokedex to find any given Pokemon; that's not at all the case. Do something like this:
{{rdexh|X|Y|dexname={{color2|000|List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|VIdex}}}}
{{rdex|001Ce|650|Chespin|1|Grass}}
{{rdex|002Ce|651|Quilladin|1|Grass}}
|}
::::I would also strongly suggest linking the regional 'dex abbreviations in the headers so people can click on them and immediately jump to those 'dexes.

::::For that matter, I'd also suggest linking "Ndex" similarly in [[Template:Rdexh|the header template]] so it links easily back here on the regional 'dex pages. ...And "Type" could also be linked, just because it's the sort of thing that ''should'' be clickable.

::::::As Abcboy said, this remains an issue. I have taken the liberty of creating [[User:Tiddlywinks/List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|a user page]] that fixes the main issue in this discussion.

== Color ==

I noticed that the color coordination is not in accord with the Kalos National Pokédex. Shouldn't each region get the appropriate color attributed to them? [[User:Mr. Guye|Mr. Guye]] ([[User talk:Mr. Guye|talk]]) 20:57, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

:Interesting observation. I had never noticed the color coding in the Kalos National Pokédex before, but it's there, and is to my knowledge the first time an official source has used color coding to denote regions.
:Bulbapedia currently uses specific colors for regions, but this particular page uses the colors of the first games taking place in those regions. Perhaps the colors for the tables on this page should be replaced with the region colors. Meanwhile, replacing the region colors themselves with the ones in X and Y is a discussion that should take place but might be too big for this page. I would recommend taking that up with a staff member. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 18:36, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

== The icon for diancie. ==
Now that Diancie has been released, you guys need to update this page to contain the sprite for diancie so it is no longer a grey question mark. [[User:Randomviewer896|Random Viewer]]

== Flabébé line ==

We've done it for Shaymin, Burmy and Rotom (as well as others) and the sprites are in the Archives, so can an admin (since I can't edit the page) add on the different mini sprites of them, or explain to me why they aren't used on it? Thanks.--[[User:Ditto51|Ditto51/Tom]] ([[User_Talk:Ditto51|My Talk Page]]) 20:47, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

:I don't necessarily agree with this idea. It looks better and shows off a Pokémon's appearance in full instead of just resorting to the icon, yes, but it's a lot more complex to work with incase there's an error. If you want to make it, you can do it as a personal user page under something like [[User:Dominikololo/Visual National Pokédex]] just to give us a full example.

::Just went to look at it and it seems SnorlaxMonster got it covered. Thanks for pointing it out.

== Hippowdon ==

If Unfezant and Frillish line are included twice for both genders, shouldn't Hippowdon be added as well? Their appearance is quite different as well.
Same goes for several other cases, if Hoopa and Meloetta have their forms added, why not Keldeo or Kami trio? Who decides what should appear and what shouldn't, and by what rule??? {{unsigned|KingisNitro}}
:The Hippos, it may be because official art (see [[Hippopotas (Pokémon)]], the big image at the top) AFAIK has never depicted the female forms, while for {{p|Frillish}} and {{p|Unfezant}} it has.

::Another contributing reason is that the game does not have gender-specific menu sprites for the Hippopotas family.

[[User:Chenzw|Chenzw]] ([[User talk:Chenzw|talk]]) 16:49, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
:::Basculin is also listed twice, by the way. Vivillon, that also changes menu sprite depending on forms, is only included once (understandably because of how many form differences it has).
:::I mean I was mostly asking, so thanks for "justifying" it. Also, regarding whether it adds anything content-wise - except for the type changing forms, nothing really adds any content (Frillish, Hippos, Unfezant, Basculin, Vivillon), which is why I was puzzled. Didn't seem like there was any actual reason to include multiples. But I guess Sugimori arts are a good enough reason (I just couldn't figure it out). {{unsigned|KingisNitro}}

== Rowlet National dex number and menu sprites ==

On the [http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon-bank/ Pokémon Bank page] on the official site, menu sprites for several Gen VII Pokémon have been shown, and Rowlet have been confirmed as #722. Here's direct links for the relevant images: [http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/media/uploads/sept_20_assets/screenshots/top/sept20_p12_01_en.png Top screen], [http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/media/uploads/sept_20_assets/screenshots/bottom/sept20_p12_01_en.png Bottom screen] - [[User:RHeegaard|RHeegaard]] ([[User talk:RHeegaard|talk]]) 00:21, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

:I'm assuming that the reason only Rowlet, Litten, Popplio, and Pikipek were uploaded is because they are the only ones with numbers (I am curious where you got official evidence of Litten, Popplio, and Pikipek's numbers though?), but would it not be possible to upload the others as "DrampaMS.png" and such so that they can be listed? It would make the table easier to read, I think. It's also what we do with artwork (whereas Pikachu's artwork is [[a:File:025Pikachu.png|File:025Pikachu.png]], Drampa's is [[a:File:Drampa.png|File:Drampa.png]]), so it's not like it goes against Bulbapedia's other efforts.

:Personally, it could be due to the criteria, but I cannot tell. So, here is a hopefully complete list of what Pokémon with multiple menu sprites appear and which do not.
:From the group that does appear: Unfezant (Gender difference), Frillish (Gender), Jellicent (Gender), Castform (Ability), Deoxys (Form), Burmy (Form), Wormadam (Form), Shellos (Form), Gastrodon (Form), Rotom (Form), Giratina (Item), Shaymin (Item), Basculin (Form), Darmanitan (Ability), Meloetta (Move), Hoopa (Item), All Alolan Pokémon (Form)
:From the group that does ''not'' appear: Pyroar (Gender difference), Meowstic (Gender), Ash-Greninja (Ability), Zygarde (Forme), Kyurem (Item), Cosplay Pikachu (Form), Pikachu (Unknown), Spiky-eared Pichu (Form), Unown (Form), Cherrim (Ability), Arceus (Item), Flabébé (Form), Floette (Form), Florges (Form), Deerling (Form), Sawsbuck (Form), Tornadus (Item), Thundurus (Item), Landorus (Item), Keldeo (Move), Vivillon (Form), Furfrou (Form), Aegislash (Ability), Oricorio (Item), Silvally (Item), Minior (Ability), All Mega/Primal Evolution Pokémon (Item/Move),
:...So, basically, I would guess that this might have been potentially overlooked. Who is to say? Granted, I do understand that Unown, Vivillon, Arceus, and Silvally likely are excluded for a good reason. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 07:19, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
::IMO, there definitely should be Oricorio with all its form, I thought that only forms with different type combination are added, but if there are also some gender differences...

:::Most of these are probably missing because, as was mentioned in my "Hippowdon" question, they don't have official Sugimori art. Frillish has official art for both genders, while Hippowdon doesn't, hence it doesn't get two pictures. P weird reasonong, but I guess it works; Oricorio DOES have official art (in fact, most mentioned Pokemon do) and the forms change typing (good enough reason if you ask me), so I think someone should add them. Also, why can't we merge the forms into a single line (similarly to [[Pokémon with unique type combinations]] page)? {{unsigned|KingisNitro}}
::::The most important thing to remember, I think, is that this is a list of Pokémon species. It's not a list of minisprites. It's not even a list of Pokémon's types—those are included supplementarily. And it's ''certainly'' not a list of Ken Sugimori art.
::::On that note, I think the inclusion and exclusion of form differences should follow a less horrendously arbitrary standard. Either A) all forms with unique minisprites or types are included, or B) only one form per species is included, determined by a consistent criterion. If we go with A, I absolutely agree with KingisNitro that they should be merged into a single row, since it makes no sense to list the same species multiple times in a list of species. If we go B, I propose that the criterion be "whichever form is leftmost in Pokémon Bank's National Pokédex", since this is consistently a form that can be considered the most basic or "default".

::By that logic though, shouldn't Marill and Togepi be listed as generation 1 pokemon, Munchlax as a generation 3 pokemon and Magearna as a generation 6 pokemon? In fact, every single generation other than the first had a pokemon revealed in some medium before the release of the main games and this is especially true of mythicals. (Victini is in a similar situation to Meltan being listed just after the gen 4 mythicals and before the gen 5 starters even though it is considered gen 5 itself)

::In fact, the only difference is that all these other pokemon were typically revealed in movies or the anime whereas Meltan/Melmetal are playable in Pokemon Go/Let's Go. That said, these are still just spinoff games (which actually don't even have any other gen 7 pokemon in them other than alolan forms) and neither Meltan nor Melmetal are available in any mainline gen 7 games. Finally, Pokemon Go goes as far as to classify Meltan's region as "Unknown" whereas it could have easily been listed as Alola if it was intended to be a gen 7 pokemon. (And Magearna has nothing to do with either Kalos nor Alola but is still classified as "Gen 7" in the Sun/Moon pokedex.

::Sorry, for the long rant but my point is that strictly speaking the situation for Meltan/Melmetal is "Unknown" and ideally this should be reflected on the page to avoid speculating. However, if people insist on assigning a region/generation to it, I think it's far more likely to be "Galar"/"Gen 8" and not "Alola". Just my 2 cents. [[User:MCX|MCX]] ([[User talk:MCX|talk]]) 21:52, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
:::I would agree with your logic if not for your assumption that LGPE are not mainline games. They are core Pokémon games, which has been reiterated multiple times by Masuda and the others at GF. Since they’re catchable and playable in a mainline Gen VII game, they’re Gen VII Pokémon. That’s what separates them from cases like Bonsly, which I think would have been a much better example than Marill or Munchlax. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 12:47, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
::::I'm still not convinced that it's relevant nor that it's the case that LGPE are core titles. I'm not sure which interview you are referring to when saying that Masuda has stated that LGPE are core games but afaik Sword and Shield were first announced as the unnamed 2019 mainline Switch games in e3 2017. Then LGPE were announced at a later time and people were giving GF crap until they clarified that LGPE weren't the same as the previously announced 2019 titles. Correct me if I remember any of this incorrectly but if not, this would indicate that LGPE are something less than core games. If LGPE are core games that's the equivalent of GF announcing Sun/Moon after XY and then saying "oh btw, before SM we are gonna release gen 3 remakes, they aren't the same games as SM, we just thought we should announce gen 7 first." Yeah, LGPE are much closer gameplay-wise to the core games than, say, mystery dungeon or pokemon pinball but they are also not quite there.

::::Moreover, even if Masuda has said in an interview "LGPE are core titles", I'm still not sure if that is relevant in classifying Meltan's gen. LGPE don't have Crobat or Electivire or any gen 2-7 pokemon but they have Megas and Alolan forms and Meltan. This is just a weird situation where they used Meltan as a promo thing - not at all an indication that it's gen 7. They've even dropped mainline mechanics like breeding and abilities... Meltan being there doesn't conclusively prove anything. I doubt we will get any official statement like "Btw Meltan belongs in X gen" but we are still probably going to get a conclusive answer when they colour code Meltan along with either the gen 7 or gen 8 pokemon in some future title's pokedex. I'm just saying that until then we should keep its status as "Unknown" because that's what it currently is. [[User:MCX|MCX]] ([[User talk:MCX|talk]]) 23:49, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
:::::You can check the interview section in the LGPE guidebook if you don't believe that he explicitly has said that they're core titles. "These games aren't spinoffs. These are core Pokémon titles" is the exact quote. Since Meltan and Melmetal appeared in Gen 7 core titles, they're Gen 7 Pokemon. Simple enough. If for whatever reason they change that, then we'll change that too.

== Handling forms + smaller suggestions ==

As far as I can tell there's no pattern to how forms are handled on this page. Some Pokémon with alternate forms or major gender differences have their forms present, others do not. Frankly, since it’s a list of Pokémon species according to their number, no Pokémon with form differences should be even included in a different line. Either the alternate forms should be removed entirely, only including the “base” form, or the lines should be combined like on List of Pokémon with unique type combinations. Personally, I'd prefer to have no forms displayed-- it would make the page a whole lot cleaner and easier to use-- but I can see the purpose of displaying forms, so I think that something like this would be best:

{| class=roundy style="margin:auto; border: 2px solid #{{firered color}}; background: #{{firered color}}"
! style="{{roundytl|5px}}; background: #{{leafgreen color light}}" | Kdex
! style="background: #{{leafgreen color light}}" | Ndex
! style="background: #{{leafgreen color light}}" | MS
! style="background: #{{leafgreen color light}}" | Pokémon
! style="{{roundytr|5px}}; background: #{{leafgreen color light}}" colspan="2" | Type</noinclude>
|- style="background:#FFF"
| rowspan="2" style="font-family:monospace" | <nowiki>#</nowiki>026
| rowspan="2" style="font-family:monospace" | <nowiki>#</nowiki>026
| {{MSP|026|Raichu}}
| rowspan="2" | {{p|Raichu}}
| colspan="2" style="text-align:center; background:#{{electric color}}" | [[Electric (type)|Electric]]
|- style="background:#FFF"
| {{MSP|026A|Raichu}}
| style="text-align:center; background:#{{electric color}}" | [[Electric (type)|Electric]]
| style="text-align:center; background:#{{psychic color}}" | [[Psychic (type)|Psychic]]
|}

Again, I think that not displaying forms would be the best way to go, but either way, the current system of handling forms is unsatisfactory, both in the inconsistency between which forms are shown and which are not, and in the actual formatting of the forms.

Additionally, I have two smaller suggestions. First, I believe that it would be better to display the National Pokédex number before the regional Pokédex number, rather than vice versa, as this is a page on the National Pokédex, and that should take priority. Second, at the end of each section, there is no roundy template on the bottom, as you can see above, which makes the bottom of each section square and not as aesthetically pleasing. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 20:05, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

The problem with formes/forms is that there's many different kinds of forms. There's only visual forms (most male female differences/unown forms etc) and there's forms where the stats change (meowstic male/female for instance). There's forms where the typing changes (Wormadom/Necrozma's various forms). There's temporary forms that are only visible in battle (megas/greninja/cherubi). There's temporary forms that are changed by using an item or by depositing the pokemon or by whatever arbitrary reason (giratina/tornadus etc.). There's also regional forms, where a pokemon cannot change to the other form but is basically a different pokemon altogether (alolan and soon galarian forms). Maybe the list should just include all the base forms? And then there could be a seperate table listing all the additional forms for a pokemon?[[User:Jor1ss|Jor1ss]] ([[User talk:Jor1ss|talk]]) 12:40, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

== Pokémon with different forms not present in the list ==

I don't understand the criteria for Pokémon with different forms, by the type of them:

Gender differences : We do not include the forms of Indeedee, Pyroar and Meowstic, But we allow Unfezant, Frillish and Jellycent?

Different permanent forms but with the same typing: Lycanrock and Toxtricity. But it allows other permanent forms, e.g. Shellos, Gastrodont and Basculin.

Different Forms and different types: Kyurem and Necruzma. But allows Castform, Rotom, Melloeta, Hoopa, Shaymin and Oricorio.

Different Battle forms but same types: Wishiwashi, Cherrim, Landorus, Thundurus, Tornadus, Kyurem, Keldeo, Greninja, Zygarde and Minior are not included. But Deoxis and Gyratina are on the list.

No applicable to the above criteria: Unown, Arceus, Deerling, Sawsbuck, Vivillon, The Flabébé Family and Furfrou. But we do have Burmy and Wormadam and Urshifu. (I understand that the Pokémon in this las criteria have a lot of forms, and that the reason of not their including is for space and order in the page)

Alternatively, including Necrozma's forms, and possibly Kyurem's forms, would solve this issue. [[User:MarioMiner|MarioMiner]] ([[User talk:MarioMiner|talk]]) 22:58, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
:Another style inconsistency - in the Generation IV section of the page, Heatran, Regigigas, Cresselia, Phione, Darkrai, Shaymin, and Arceus, the Gen IV Pokémon without Sinnoh Pokédex numbers, have their portions of the "Sdex" column blank. However, Meltan, Melmetal, Kubfu, Urshifu, Zarude, Regieleki, Regidrago, Glastrier, Spectrier, and Calyrex, all Pokémon that do not appear in their respective generations' regional Pokédexes, have "#---" in their regional Pokédex (Adex for Meltan and Melmetal, Gdex for the rest) columns. [[User:MarioMiner|MarioMiner]] ([[User talk:MarioMiner|talk]]) 00:06, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

== Zygarde's Forms ==
Zygard seems to be the only Pokémon currently missing alternate forms.

== Legends: Arceus Pokémon ==

Are the Pokémon and Regional Forms that were shown in the new [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] trailer going to be added now or when the game releases? -[[User:Ratboy Jr.|Ratboy Jr.]] ([[User talk:Ratboy Jr.|talk]]) 22:40, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

== Mega Aerodactyl needs to be added. ==

A couple Megas were forgotten to be added. Could you please scout through and add them?

'''Sirfetch'd''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ネギガナイト''' ''Negigaknight'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Farfetch'd}} after landing three [[critical hit]]s in a single {{pkmn|battle}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Sirfetch'd losing to Escavalier.png|thumb|left|250px|Sirfetch'd losing to an Escavalier]]
Sirfetch'd is an avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a white duck, standing no taller than its pre-evolved form {{p|Farfetch'd}} and retaining its yellow beak, brown eyes, and eyebrow-like marking. Its legs and webbed feet are colored yellow, while the three-feather crest on its head and stubby tail are white. Its wings serve as humanoid hands, with the feathers at the end resembling fingers. It carries a massive leek in two parts, wielding the long, sharpened stalk as a lance and using the hard leaves as a shield.

It is said that this evolution was attained by a Farfetch'd who experienced and survived many battles. It is known to be calm and collected, preferring to fight fairly. Due to its noble nature, Sirfetch'd is often chosen as a motif for paintings; one famous painting in the [[Galar]] region shows a Sirfetch'd duelling with an {{p|Escavalier}}. The leek it carries is its most prized possession, having maintained it for many years. Once the leek finally withers, Sirfetch'd will retire from battle for good.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/sirfetchd/</ref>

Sirfetch'd and Farfetch'd are the only Pokémon capable of using the [[Leek]] item.

Sirfetch'd is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Meteor Assault}}.

==Trivia==

[[File:Sirfetch'd pixelated.png|thumb|250px|Pixelated Sirfetch'd before its official announcement]]
* Sirfetch'd was [http://web.archive.org/web/20190913060258/https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/zbpkxr1gw8/ first teased] on {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s official website on September 13, 2019, with its [[Media:Sirfetch'd pixelated.png|appearance]], name, {{pkmn|category}}, and [[List of Pokémon by height|height]] heavily pixelated — the image was also rotated 90° left, and then horizontally inverted. On the [http://web.archive.org/web/20190913051434/https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/sword_shield/pokemon/190913_01.html Japanese], [http://web.archive.org/web/20190913064134/https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/sword_shield?qEXE8_8p2Swe&uid=newitem Korean], [http://web.archive.org/web/20190913063204/https://swordshield.portal-pokemon.com/tc/pokemon/11.html Traditional Chinese], and [http://web.archive.org/web/20190913063626/https://swordshield.portal-pokemon.com/sc/pokemon/11.html Simplified Chinese] official websites, its name was partially revealed. The link to the page played a {{p|Rotom}}'s [[cry]] when clicked, implicating it as the cause of the data corruption.
** The revealed parts of the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese were: ナイト ''naito'' (Japanese), 나이트 ''naiteu'' (Korean) and 兵 ''bīng'' (Chinese).
* Sirfetch'd and {{p|Farfetch'd}} are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an apostrophe in their names.
* Despite "sir" being a male honorific, Sirfetch'd are [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|equally likely]] to be [[gender|female]].
* Sirfetch'd can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Cursola}}. Both of their pre-evolved form's original forms do not evolve, and they both change [[type]]s while remaining single-typed. [[Bea]] uses Sirfetch'd in her team in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Sword}} in the [[Stow-on-Side Gym]] and during the Champion Cup Finals, while [[Allister]] uses Cursola in his team in Shield.
* {{rf|Galarian}} Farfetch'd was released shortly after {{p|Meowth}} and {{p|Zigzagoon}} in [[Pokémon GO]]. Although they could evolve into {{p|Perrserker}} and {{p|Obstagoon}} upon release, respectively, Galarian Farfetch'd couldn't evolve into Sirfetch'd at the time. This was later added to coincide with the release of the Crown Tundra for Pokémon Sword & Shield's Expansion Pass on October 22, 2020.

===Origin===
Sirfetch'd appears to be based on a {{wp|Pekin duck}} and a {{wp|knight}} armed with a {{wp|sword}} and {{wp|shield}}. Like Farfetch'd, it may be inspired by the Japanese saying 「{{tt|鴨が葱を背負って来る|Kamo ga negi o shotte kuru}}」, literally translating to "a duck comes bearing {{wp|Welsh onion|bunching onions}}". As a saying, it means "something surprising but convenient". Sirfetch'd may also be based on {{wp|Lancelot|Sir Lancelot du Lac}}, one of the members of the {{wp|Knights of the Round Table}}. In Arthurian legend, before he revealed his identity to {{wp|King Arthur}}, he was known as the "White Knight" for his white armor. In addition, it may also come from the lancelot leek which is a wild onion variant that is named after him.

====Name origin====
Sirfetch'd may be a combination of ''sir'' and ''far-fetched''.

Negigaknight may be a combination of 葱 ''negi'' ({{wp|bunching onion}}), the prefix ''giga-'', and ''knight''. It may also be a pun on 葱がないと ''negi ga nai to'' (must have a bunching onion).

'''Mewtwo''' (Japanese: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a playable character in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. It was playable in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] for the [[Nintendo GameCube]], was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], but returned as {{wp|downloadable content}} for [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]. In Melee, its voice and characterization are based on the Japanese portrayal of [[Mewtwo (M01)|the original Mewtwo from the anime]], although its spoken lines are removed in non-Japanese versions rather than being dubbed.

==[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]==
[[File:Mewtwo Melee.png|thumb|300px|Artwork of Mewtwo in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]]]
Mewtwo is an unlockable character and can be unlocked by playing a combined minimum 20 hours of single player and multiplayer matches or playing at least 700 Melee matches. Its main stage is {{st|Pokémon Stadium}}.

Mewtwo has an unusual combination of attributes. Unlike other characters, its throws are exceedingly powerful, capable of KO'ing at similar percentages as smash attacks. It also boasts several fast attacks that can be linked together for simple and effective combos, and possesses an exceptional recovery. However, it is rather light, moves and falls slowly, and is a large target, making it easy to combo back. It also has difficulties KO'ing opponents - while its throws are strong, it needs to get grabs first, and its other KO moves are either slow or have short range.

===Trophy information===
====Classic Mode====
''A genetically created Pokémon, Mewtwo is the result of many long years of research by a solitary scientist. Although Mewtwo was cloned from the genes of the legendary Pokémon Mew, its size and character are far different than its ancestor. Its battle abilities have been radically heightened, making it ruthless.''

====Adventure Mode====
''As Mewtwo relies mostly on its powerful brain, there are times when it scarcely uses its arms and legs. Since Mewtwo spends much of its time floating, it flies far when struck. Shadow Ball traces a jagged path once released; the longer Mewtwo holds it, the more powerful it becomes. Mewtwo uses Confusion to spin its foes around.''

====All-Star Mode====
''Mewtwo is definitely not a speedy character, but its ESP-powered grab and throw moves are comparatively strong. Teleport has a short range, but doesn't leave it open to attack. It's best used as an escape move during disturbances. Mewtwo can daze a foe if it makes eye contact and uses Disable; the move is useless unless Mewtwo is facing its enemy.''

==[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]==
Mewtwo makes an appearance in the game as a trophy.

Although Mewtwo is not a playable character, there are several empty files for {{sbw|Unused content (SSBB)#Characters|unused playable characters}}, one of which is named "mewtwo".

===Trophy information===
''A Genetic Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon was based on a recombination of Mew's DNA, created by a scientist after years of research. However, Mewtwo greatly differs from Mew in both size and personality and it is said to have the most twisted and savage heart among all Pokémon. Mewtwo has incredibly high combat abilities and uses Psychic-type attacks.''

{{bulbanews/2|Mewtwo announced for Super Smash Bros. 4|Mewtwo DLC release date and price for Super Smash Bros. revealed}}
Mewtwo returned as a downloadable bonus character. It was confirmed to be a playable character during the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza on October 23, 2014. It was free for players who have bought both the 3DS and Wii U versions and have registered both to Club Nintendo by March 31, 2015, and those who received the code could redeem and download Mewtwo as early as April 14, 2015. However, Mewtwo is also purchasable for a small fee if one did not buy both games or did not register both to Club Nintendo. It became available to the public for purchase on April 28, 2015.

Mewtwo is now voiced by Keiji Fujiwara, replacing Masachika Ichimura's work from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. As in ''Melee'', Mewtwo has fully voiced victory quotes in Japanese (which are re-recorded versions of its ''Melee ''quotes), which are removed for international versions. It continues to be based on [[Mewtwo (M01)|the original series' Mewtwo from the anime]], marking the character's first appearance in any new media since ''Melee'' itself as well as ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. Its attributes were tweaked from its ''Melee'' appearance, decreasing its weight but also improving its mobility and its special moves, making it a much more useful but more difficult character overall (especially with a multitude of buffs in the later patches of the game).

Mewtwo's [[Final Smash]] is its [[signature move]], {{m|Psystrike}}, performed after a [[Mega Evolution]] into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Mewtwo also appears in both versions as a normal trophy. Both versions of Mega Mewtwo appear as a single trophy in the Wii U version, with Mewtwo appearing as Mega Mewtwo Y (with a silhouette of its regular form) for its Final Smash trophy.

====Mewtwo (fighter)====

'''NA:''' ''Mewtwo puts its psychic powers to great use in this game. Not only does it have floaty jumps, but its telekinesis gives its attacks extra reach and its throws added power. However, its light body makes it easy to launch, so if you're willing to take the risk of getting in close, it might just be worth it!''

'''PAL:''' ''Mewtwo puts its psychic powers to great use in this game. Not only can it float in midair, but its telekinesis gives its attacks extra reach and its throws added power. However, its light body makes it easy to launch, so if you're willing to take the risk of getting in close, it might just be worth it!''

====Mewtwo (Alt.)====
[[File:Mewtwo_Alt_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Mewtwo (Alternate) trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
'''NA:''' ''Mewtwo's Confusion side special not only repels projectiles—it also reflects the damage back on your opponent. Its down special, Disable, stuns an enemy for longer the higher its damage is. Disable only works on foes that are facing Mewtwo.''

'''PAL:''' ''Mewtwo's Confusion Side Special not only lets you repel projectiles, it also reflects the damage back on your opponent. Its Down Special, Disable, stuns an enemy for longer the higher its damage is. As it works by having Mewtwo glare at its foe, this only works if they make eye contact.''

====Psystrike====
''Mewtwo's Final Smash starts as Mewtwo Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y. It then fires a huge psychic projectile that penetrates enemies and obstacles. This projectile doesn't do any damage, but it freezes every foe it hits in place. They can even be frozen midjump! Afterward, every foe hit with this projectile will take a powerful psychic hit to the head.''

====Mewtwo (non-fighter)====

[[File:Mewtwo_Fighter_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Mewtwo (Fighter) trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
''Created from modified Mew DNA, Mewtwo was designed to be the ultimate Pokémon. It didn't take on any of Mew's kinder traits and only uses its intelligence to destroy its enemies. Or...so it seems. Perhaps it just feels frightened or even tormented, and that's why it lashes out. Whatever the reason, Mewtwo is not to be messed with. ''

====Mega Mewtwo X & Y====
'''NA:''' ''It's almost no surprise that a Pokémon as powerful as Mewtwo wouldn't be limited to a single Mega Evolution. Mega Mewtwo X has strong arms and legs, while Mega Mewtwo Y has a whiplike, slender head. The differences aren't just physical - X brings improved fighting power, while Y can unleash even more psychic power.''

'''PAL:''' ''Mega Mewtwo comes in two forms rather than just one. Mega Mewtwo X has visibly strengthened limbs, which greatly boost its physical abilities in battle. Mega Mewtwo Y, on the other hand, has a whip-like tendril extending from the back of its head, which augments its psychic powers.''

Mewtwo appeared once again in Ultimate. By default, Mewtwo is the 61st character to be unlocked via VS matches, but can potentially be unlocked earlier by completing {{sbw|Classic Mode}} with {{lw|Fox McCloud}} as the last character unlocked to be unlocked within his Classic Mode unlock column after {{lw|Wolf O'Donnell}}.

{{SmashMoves|type=Psychic|game=Ultimate|Spe=Shadow Ball|SpeM=yes|SpeS=Confusion|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=Teleport|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Disable|SpeDM=yes|FS=Psystrike}}

===Classic Mode===
Mewtwo's {{sbw|Classic Mode}} route is called '''Psychic Control'''. In it, after Mewtwo completes a round, one of its opponents joins it as an ally in the next fight in an alternate costume. This ally is often one, or represents one, that has been brainwashed in their series, and is likely a reference to ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} controls a [[Nurse Joy]] to act as a proxy. His various "allies" in each match also reference their home series, where they were either possessed or brainwashed into becoming evil or had to confront an evil copy of themselves in Pikachu's case.

Mewtwo fights both {{sbw|Master Hand}} and {{sbw|Crazy Hand}} regardless of difficulty.

===World of Light===
In the opening cutscene of World of Light, Mewtwo tried to reflect the beam of light with {{m|Confusion}}, alongside {{zw|Zelda}}, who used {{zw|Nayru's Love}}, but the light pierced through their special attacks and obliterated them regardless.

Mewtwo's fighter icon isn't found until the player reaches the World of Dark, in the Mysterious Dimension subarea. It appears after the player completes the fight with {{wk|Whispy Woods}}'s {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|spirit}}.

=={{sbw|Smash Taunt}} information==
==={{sbw|Palutena's Guidance}}===
====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
While most characters have a unique Palutena's Guidance conversation starring the ''Kid Icarus'' characters, Mewtwo and other DLC characters share a generic conversation where the ''Kid Icarus'' characters note their lack of information on the fighter.
*'''{{ip|Pit}}:''' Who is THAT?
*'''{{ip|Palutena}}:''' I have no data on this fighter. I can't believe it!
*'''{{ip|Viridi}}:''' It must be an intruder from another dimension!
*'''Pit:''' Whoever it is, the goal remains the same: to fight and win!

====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
Like all previous DLC fighters in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, Mewtwo is now given a non-generic conversation in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
*'''{{ip|Pit}}:''' That's Mewtwo, right?
*'''{{ip|Palutena}}:''' National Pokédex number 150. Mewtwo is a legendary Pokémon that was created by resequencing Mew's genes.
*'''{{ip|Viridi}}:''' I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THESE HUMANS!
*'''Pit:''' Poor thing. It's a walking science experiment.
*'''Palutena:''' Mewtwo is arguably the most powerful Pokémon in existence. Some people spend their entire lives trying to catch it.
*'''Viridi:''' It's an affront to nature and must be destroyed immediately! Think about it! Every action has a butterfly effect. Who knows what kind of impact it could have on the ecosystem!
*'''Pit:''' Grow a heart, Viridi! It didn't choose to be a freak of nature.
*'''Palutena:''' Feel sorry for it all you want, Pit, but don't underestimate it. Mewtwo's Confusion move can both flip opponents and reflect projectiles.

==Trivia==
* In the original Japanese versions of both Melee and 3DS/Wii U, Mewtwo has spoken victory quotes. These are removed in international versions:
** "私はなぜここにいるのか...？"/''"Watashi wa naze koko ni iru no ka...?"'' ("Why am I here?")
** "愚かな！"/''"Orokana!"'' ("Foolish!")
** "私はまけるわけにはいかない！"/''"Watashi wa makeru wake ni wa ikanai!"'' ("I cannot lose!")
* This Mewtwo appears to be based on the {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} of the {{pkmn|anime}}'s [[original series]], based on its ability to speak [[human]] language (as seen in Japanese versions only), its personality, its use of [[Shadow Ball]] as a signature move, and its design differences in 3DS/Wii U from its actual model in {{g|X and Y}}. Its voice actor in Melee is [[List of Japanese voice actors|Masachika Ichimura]], who voiced Mewtwo in the Japanese version of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and was replaced with [[Keiji Fujiwara]] as a soundalike in 3DS/Wii U.
** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-zJOntZRHo Its DLC trailer] is also titled Mewtwo Strikes Back.
* This Mewtwo's appearance in 3DS/Wii U also references the {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} from ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', with its {{sbw|Boxing Ring}} title of "A Legend Reawakened" being a play on [[M16|the name of that Mewtwo's movie]], as well as its ability to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.
* In the Wii U version and Ultimate, Mewtwo doesn't actually climb the ladders, let alone touch them. Instead, it uses its {{t|Psychic}} powers to rise up or float down.
* Mewtwo's green palette swap in Melee is its {{Shiny}} form.

===World of Light===
In the opening cutscene of World of Light, Mewtwo tried to reflect the beam of light with {{m|Confusion}}, alongside {{zw|Zelda}}, who used {{zw|Nayru's Love}}, but the light pierced through their special attacks and obliterated them regardless.

Mewtwo's fighter icon isn't found until the player reaches the World of Dark, in the Mysterious Dimension subarea. It appears after the player completes the fight with {{wk|Whispy Woods}}'s {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|spirit}}.

=={{sbw|Smash Taunt}} information==
==={{sbw|Palutena's Guidance}}===
====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
While most characters have a unique Palutena's Guidance conversation starring the ''Kid Icarus'' characters, Mewtwo and other DLC characters share a generic conversation where the ''Kid Icarus'' characters note their lack of information on the fighter.
*'''{{ip|Pit}}:''' Who is THAT?
*'''{{ip|Palutena}}:''' I have no data on this fighter. I can't believe it!
*'''{{ip|Viridi}}:''' It must be an intruder from another dimension!
*'''Pit:''' Whoever it is, the goal remains the same: to fight and win!

====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
Like all previous DLC fighters in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, Mewtwo is now given a non-generic conversation in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
*'''{{ip|Pit}}:''' That's Mewtwo, right?
*'''{{ip|Palutena}}:''' National Pokédex number 150. Mewtwo is a legendary Pokémon that was created by resequencing Mew's genes.
*'''{{ip|Viridi}}:''' I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THESE HUMANS!
*'''Pit:''' Poor thing. It's a walking science experiment.
*'''Palutena:''' Mewtwo is arguably the most powerful Pokémon in existence. Some people spend their entire lives trying to catch it.
*'''Viridi:''' It's an affront to nature and must be destroyed immediately! Think about it! Every action has a butterfly effect. Who knows what kind of impact it could have on the ecosystem!
*'''Pit:''' Grow a heart, Viridi! It didn't choose to be a freak of nature.
*'''Palutena:''' Feel sorry for it all you want, Pit, but don't underestimate it. Mewtwo's Confusion move can both flip opponents and reflect projectiles.

==Trivia==
* In the original Japanese versions of both Melee and 3DS/Wii U, Mewtwo has spoken victory quotes. These are removed in international versions:
** "私はなぜここにいるのか...？"/''"Watashi wa naze koko ni iru no ka...?"'' ("Why am I here?")
** "愚かな！"/''"Orokana!"'' ("Foolish!")
** "私はまけるわけにはいかない！"/''"Watashi wa makeru wake ni wa ikanai!"'' ("I cannot lose!")
* This Mewtwo appears to be based on the {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} of the {{pkmn|anime}}'s [[original series]], based on its ability to speak [[human]] language (as seen in Japanese versions only), its personality, its use of [[Shadow Ball]] as a signature move, and its design differences in 3DS/Wii U from its actual model in {{g|X and Y}}. Its voice actor in Melee is [[List of Japanese voice actors|Masachika Ichimura]], who voiced Mewtwo in the Japanese version of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and was replaced with [[Keiji Fujiwara]] as a soundalike in 3DS/Wii U.
** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-zJOntZRHo Its DLC trailer] is also titled Mewtwo Strikes Back.
* This Mewtwo's appearance in 3DS/Wii U also references the {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} from ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', with its {{sbw|Boxing Ring}} title of "A Legend Reawakened" being a play on [[M16|the name of that Mewtwo's movie]], as well as its ability to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.
* In the Wii U version and Ultimate, Mewtwo doesn't actually climb the ladders, let alone touch them. Instead, it uses its {{t|Psychic}} powers to rise up or float down.
* Mewtwo's green palette swap in Melee is its {{Shiny}} form.

'''Porygon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポリゴン''' ''Porygon'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Porygon2}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} while holding an [[Upgrade]], which evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded while holding a [[Dubious Disc]].

==Biology==
[[File:Porygon Conversion.png|thumb|left|250px|Porygon changing its appearance using {{m|Conversion}}]]
Porygon is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} made completely out of programming code. It has a pink, polyhedral head that ends in a blue beak and has hexagonal eyes and it has a pink polyhedral body with a blue front, blue triangular prism feet, and a blue rectangular prism tail. In 3D games, such as {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, it can detach its limbs and head from its torso. According to its [[Pokédex]] entries, it has copy protection built into its code, preventing duplication through electronic means. It was created [[History of the Pokémon world#Recent history|20 years ago]] at the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] on [[Cinnabar Island]] using the latest state-of-the-art technology of its time, so many of its parts have since become obsolete. It was the first [[artificial Pokémon]] to have ever been created through computer programming.

Due to its man-made origins, Porygon does not need to breathe or eat, though it can still accept food if given. It has the ability to convert its body into digital data, allowing it to travel through cyberspace. Recently, it has become more helpful inside cyberspace by searching for any suspicious data that exists. Some believed Porygon has the power to potentially travel in space despite the species not displaying that ability yet. Porygon has two [[signature moves]], {{m|Conversion}} and {{m|Conversion 2}}, and in the past it also had {{m|Sharpen}} for a signature move. It can use Conversion to change its appearance to mimic another Pokémon's and has also [[Pokémon Snap|demonstrated the ability]] to change color for camouflage. Because it is man-made, it is generally found in computers or in labs and other {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|buildings}} where people work.

==In the anime==
[[File:Porygon anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Porygon in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Porygon Aim to Be a Pokémon Master.png|thumb|250px|Porygon in [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]]]
===Major appearances===
Porygon's only major anime appearance was in [[EP038]]. [[Dr. Akihabara]] created two specimens, {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Porygon Zero|one}} of which was stolen by {{TRT}}, while the other one was borrowed by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Both remained with Dr. Akihabara at the end of the episode.

This episode caused more than 600 children in Japan to be transferred to hospitals by ambulance because of seizure-like symptoms they reported, due to a flashing strobe effect present at several points of the episode, and was therefore [[Banned episodes|banned]] and never aired again anywhere in the world. Since then, Porygon and its evolved forms, {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}, have never played a main role in the anime.

===Minor appearances===
Porygon made its English dub debut in a scene transition in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]''.

In the opening sequence of both ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', a Porygon was floating behind a wire fence in a city.

In a shot in a "World of Pokémon" opening at the beginning of ''[[The Journey to be a Pokémon Master Begins!!]]'', a Porygon was floating above a fence in a very similar location.

A Porygon appeared as an image in ''[[SM020|Partner Promises!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Blue Porygon Conversion.png|200px|thumb|Porygon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}====
{{main|Blue's Porygon}}
{{adv|Blue}} obtained a Porygon at the [[Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner]] in ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]'', and it soon became a core member of his team. Prior to {{PAV|13}}, it evolved into a {{p|Porygon2}}.

===={{chap|Platinum}}====
A Porygon appeared at the {{gdis|Battle Factory|IV}} in ''[[PS427|Uprooting Seedot]]''.

===={{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
A Porygon appeared in ''[[PASM05|The Announcement and the Prize]]'', under the ownership of [[Gladion]]. It was used in a couple of battles during the [[Iki Town]] festival, helping Gladion to defeat [[Hau]] and {{adv|Moon}}.

===Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All===
A Porygon appeared in ''[[GDZ06|The Challenge at Celadon University!]]''.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
A Porygon appeared in ''[[PM011|Finish Off Team Rocket!!]]'', under the ownership of [[Erika]]'s father.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]===
Porygon pops out of a door on top of the [[Silph Co.]] building in the [[Saffron City (stage)|Saffron City stage]]. It damages players that come into contact with it.

Porygon's only appearance in Melee is that of a Poké Float. When the fighting is on {{p|Slowpoke}}'s tail, three will travel across the top of the screen. However, they move too quickly to land on and so are little more than decoration in practice.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Porygon retains its role as a stage element in the Saffron City stage, as well as appearing as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}: [[In the Future of Darkness]], Porygon live past [[Spacial Cliffs]]. {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}} goes to Spacial Cliffs to see them. Two Porygon appear at the end of the dungeon. They are allies of [[Primal Dialga]], and they transmit {{mdc|Grovyle|2}} and Dusknoir to [[Frozen Island]].

==Trivia==
* Porygon is the only Pokémon that evolves by trade twice: once holding the [[Upgrade]] into {{p|Porygon2}}, and a second time (as Porygon2) into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when holding a [[Dubious Disc]]. It is also the only Pokémon in a [[:Category:Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|three-stage evolutionary line]] that does not require leveling up to trigger any of its evolutions (i.e. it is possible to acquire a Porygon-Z at level 1).
* Porygon's evolutionary line is the only three-stage evolutionary line whose members can all learn both {{m|Giga Impact}} and {{m|Hyper Beam}}, as all three were considered fully-evolved during their respective debut generations.

===Origin===
Porygon seems to be based on a {{wp|bird}} or {{wp|Orizuru|paper crane}} that has been {{wp|rendering (computer graphics)|rendered}} using computer software. The head-tipping motion it displays in some games is reminiscent of a {{wp|drinking bird}} toy. The flat shapes comprising its body are similar to the {{wp|polygon mesh}} used to create {{wp|3D computer graphics}}. Its Pokédex entries imply a connection to {{wp|artificial intelligence}} and {{wp|robotic spacecraft}}.

====Name origin====
Porygon may be a corruption of ''{{wp|polygon}}''.

'''Zygarde''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジガルデ''' ''Zygarde'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has the following three [[List of Pokémon with form differences|Formes]]:
* '''Zygarde 10% Forme''', one of the Formes introduced in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}
* '''Zygarde 50% Forme''', the Forme introduced in {{pkmn|X and Y}}
* '''Zygarde Complete Forme''', one of the Formes introduced in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}

Along with these Formes are two basic components of Zygarde: '''Zygarde Cores''', which act as the brains of Zygarde, and '''Zygarde Cells''', which compose Zygarde's Formes and cannot think. Neither Zygarde Cores nor Zygarde Cells can use [[move]]s or are useful in battles by themselves. Both of these components were introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon. They are stored inside the [[Zygarde Cube]].

Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in Pokémon X and Y. Zygarde Cell, Zygarde Core, Zygarde 10% Forme, and Zygarde Complete Forme were announced in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine. The remaining forms were introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon. Prior to their appearance in Sun and Moon, Zygarde's other forms played an important role in the {{pkmn|anime}}'s ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY|XY&Z]]'' arc.

It is part of the [[aura trio]] with {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}.

==Biology==
[[File:718Zygarde-Core.png|thumb|left|150px|Zygarde Core art]]
[[File:718Zygarde-Cell.png|thumb|150px|Zygarde Cell art]]
Zygarde is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose form depends on the percentage of its Cores and Cells gathered together. A Zygarde Core is the brain of the Zygarde. It is a small, green Pokémon with a gelatinous body. It has a large, round head with a beak-shaped protrusion on the front, a thin, hook-shaped tail, and a red hexagon suspended in its body. Within its head is a single eye with a black pupil; beside this eye is another white oval that may be a second eye. As seen in the [[XY095|anime]], Zygarde Cores are capable of absorbing sunlight to regain their strength and can speak telepathically. Zygarde Cells make up every other part of Zygarde and appear nearly identical to the Zygarde Core. Unlike the Core, it has a flat body and head. It has a green pupil, a simpler, unhooked tail, and has a darker green, more elongated hexagon within its midsection.

Cores and Cells do not have the power to battle alone and can only fight when combined to form Zygarde. The Cores have their own will and are sometimes able to act on their own, while the Cells form the rest of Zygarde's body and are only able to act on the Core's orders.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Zygarde’s Cores and Cells]</ref>

Zygarde 10% Forme has a relatively small canine body. It is primarily black with a green collar and a leash-like extension on its neck. Additional green markings include: two hexagon markings on its chest, a small hexagon over each eye, the area around its mouth, and its front left paw. There is an elongated, red hexagon marking attached to the collar marking. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils and there is a thin, white line on its forehead. On each of its legs are hexagonal extensions: two on the back of each elbow, one behind each knee, and two on each hip. One of the hip extensions is longer than the other on each hip. This form has razor-sharp teeth and is skilled at close range combat. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour).

Zygarde 50% Forme has a serpentine body with green and black markings. Most of its back, head, and neck are black, while the underbelly and the tip of its tail are green. Its eyes are made of four green hexagons, similar to an insect with {{wp|compound eye}}s, and there is a thin, white line down the center of its face. Across the back of its neck is a large frill made of five long, flat protrusions that each have two small, green hexagons on them. There are three short tendrils on either side of its chest; they are black on the right and green on the left. Its tail also ends in five tendrils. It has many small, green hexagon markings on its body capable of glowing. This form of Zygarde is thought to monitor those who destroy the ecosystem from deep with its cave. Should the region's ecosystem fall into disarray, it will appear and reveal its power.

Zygarde Complete Forme has a large, humanoid body with a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's body. There are several flat protrusions around its head and triangular protrusions around its neck. These protrusions create a crown-shape. On its face are three white hexagonal marks: one in the middle of its forehead with a line through it and two that act as eyes. There are an additional five green hexagons on its face: four along the bottom and one in the middle of a short protrusion on top. Each shoulder has two serpentine wings protruding from it. The wings all have an undulating pattern and a hexagon near the tip: blue on the right side and red on the left. There are multiple white protrusions on its body: three on each hand acting as claws, one on each knee, and one and the front of each foot. Additionally, there are green hexagons surrounding its wrists and two under the white protrusions on its knees and feet. Its abdomen has a vertical, hexagonal pattern with a thin, white line on either side. Across its chest is a thin, zigzagging opening that fades between five colors: red, orange, white, cyan, and blue. The chest can open, revealing five cores of each color. Above this opening are two large green, hexagonal marks.

Possessing all of its total cells, Zygarde Complete Forme is said to exceed both Xerneas and Yveltal in power. The opening on its chest can radiate enough energy to destroy anything around it. This form only appears to neutralize threats to the ecosystems.

A single Core acts as the brain for the 10% form. This allows it to take action separately from Zygarde's 50% Forme, which comprises its main body, for a short time.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Pokémon Sun and Moon Site | Zygarde 10% Forme]</ref> Zygarde Complete Forme contains separate Cores for each of its wings and its tail. In this case, each Core can make decisions and act independently of the others.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Zygarde Complete Forme]</ref>

Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Land's Wrath}}, {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, {{m|Thousand Waves}}, and {{m|Core Enforcer}}.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Squishy]]=====
Zygarde is a major target of [[Team Flare]] in the anime. Zygarde Cells and one of its Cores debuted in ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''. With the help of [[Mairin]]'s {{p|Chespin}}, [[Chespie]], this Core managed to escape [[Lysandre Labs]], and it subsequently came across {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]''. {{an|Bonnie}} was immediately taken with it and [[nickname]]d it "Squishy". It traveled in Bonnie's bag alongside {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. Squishy later transformed into its 10% and 50% Formes to defend itself against [[Bryony]] and her subordinates, thus marking the debut of both forms. In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', when Alva used his laser weapon onto the [[Azoth Kingdom]], it transformed into its Complete Forme to protect the kingdom, thus marking the form's debut.

Squishy is known by the code name '''Z1''' by Team Flare.

=====[[Z2]]=====
A Zygarde known by the code name '''Z2''' by Team Flare appeared as a 50% Forme Zygarde in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]''. It managed to escape Team Flare by using {{m|Land's Wrath}}. It appeared as a Zygarde Core during ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', being contacted by [[Squishy]].

Unlike Squishy's red core, Z2 has a blue core.

=====Other=====
A Zygarde appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it was seen in its 50% Forme. In the flashback, it destroyed the kingdom ruled by [[Veofum]] with {{m|Land's Wrath}}.

====Minor appearances====
Zygarde Cells made their main series debut in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]''. They have appeared on occasion to assist Squishy and Z2.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}
Zygarde debuted in ''[[PAXY29|Hawlucha Attack]]''. It was first mentioned by {{adv|Blue}}, who aimed to find it in order to stop the endless battle between {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. It physically appeared at [[Anistar City]], where it was sought after by [[Emma|Essentia]], who aimed to capture it for Team Flare. When {{adv|X}} and {{adv|Y}} battled Essentia in order to retrieve Y's stolen Xerxer, Zygarde appeared before them and attacked before Essentia managed to successfully catch it.

Zygarde was later used by Essentia to battle X, {{adv|Blue}}, and [[Blaine]]. After Emma was freed from [[Lysandre]]'s control, she was about to order Zygarde to attack him, but he managed to take its Poké Ball, fully putting it under his control. Zygarde was later used to fight X's [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] team, but as the battle progressed, Emma noticed green blobs falling off of it. At that moment, Xerneas and Yveltal returned to their dormant forms, causing it to disintegrate, and X hit it with a combined attack from his team. This resulted in Zygarde exploding into millions of green blobs, and Lysandre began to fall. Soon after the battle ended, Blue and Blaine visited Sycamore and mentioned to him about seeing a little green silhouette after Zygarde disintegrated into the blobs. Sycamore revealed to them that similar green silhouettes, which he dubbed Zygarde Cells, were spotted in a faraway region as well, and sends [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] to investigate them in Alola.

A Zygarde Core appeared in ''[[PASM14|Flash and Cosmog's Secret]]''.

A Zygarde Cell debuted in ''[[PASM18|Confusion and Monsters from Another World]]''.

A Zygarde Cell appeared in a fantasy in ''[[PASM25|Summon the Emissaries of the Moon and the Sun]]''.

A Zygarde 10% Forme appeared in ''[[PASM26|Adventure in the Dark Dimension]]'', where it helped protect {{adv|Sun}} in the [[Ultra Deep Sea]]. It is unable to hold the form for long, reverting to a group of Zygarde Cells.

A Zygarde Complete Forme appeared in ''[[PASM31|Ray of Light!! Through the Crack in the Sky!]]'', where it combined the Cells and Cores that {{adv|Sun}} collected using the [[Aether Foundation]]s' Reassembly Unit.

==Trivia==
* Zygarde is currently the [[List of Pokémon by name|last Pokémon in alphabetical order]].
* Zygarde 10% Forme is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 486.
* Zygarde Complete Forme is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 708.
* Zygarde Complete Forme has the highest base {{stat|HP}} stat of all {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.
* Zygarde Complete Forme was the first in-{{pkmn|battle}} transformation that changes the base HP of the user in question and the only one prior to the introduction of [[Dynamax]].
** Consequently, Zygarde is also the only Pokémon that can have its HP increased without Dynamaxing.
* Zygarde is the only Pokémon to have two standard {{Abilities}} but no hidden Ability.
** Despite having two standard abilities, it is also the only one with this trait that cannot change its ability with the [[Ability Capsule]], instead requiring the [[Zygarde Cube]] to do so.
* Zygarde Core and Zygarde Complete Forme were first shown in a preview for ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' at the end of ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.

===Origin===
Zygarde's 10%, 50%, and Complete Formes may be inspired in part by the three children of {{wp|Loki}} and {{wp|Angrboða}}: {{wp|Fenrir}}, {{wp|Jörmungandr}}, and {{wp|Hel (being)|Hel}}.

Zygarde 10% Forme may be based on Fenrir. The green leash-like object around its neck could be based on {{wp|Gleipnir}}, the rope that binds Fenrir. Also, its left front paw has a different color from the others, being green instead of black, which is possibly a reference to Fenrir biting off the god {{wp|Týr}}'s right hand in reprisal for being bound by him. This Forme could also draw inspiration from {{wp|Garmr}}, the watchdog that guards {{wp|Hel (location)|Helheim}}'s gate. In appearance, Zygarde 10% Forme resembles a {{wp|Dobermann|Doberman Pinscher}}.

Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance is based on a serpent in the shape of the letter Z. It may also draw inspiration from Jörmungandr, a sea serpent that encircles the earth, and {{wp|Níðhöggr}}, a dragon that gnaws at the roots of {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, the world tree. Its flat shape and wriggling movement may be inspired by the {{wp|tsuchinoko}}, a Japanese cryptid, and its snakelike appearance may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures.

Zygarde Complete Forme may be based on Hel, the ruler of Helheim, the realm of the dead in Nordic myth. The colors on Complete Forme's chest match the colors of the real-world {{wp|flag of France}}, the country which inspired the [[region]] of [[Kalos]]. These colors also match the colors {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Design-wise, Zygarde Complete Forme resembles a humanoid {{wp|Mecha anime and manga|giant mecha}} despite its organic basis; its light-up technological appearance, "transforming"/"combining" gimmick, and the face-like pattern on its chest are all tropes commonly used for fictional mecha.

Zygarde Cell and Zygarde Core may be based on cells as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|Planarian|planaria}}) and single-celled organisms such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}''. Some planarians' {{wp|Simple eye in invertebrates#Ocelli|ocelli}} also resemble eyes, which may have inspired the designs for the Cell and Core Zygarde. The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}.

====Name origin====
Zygarde comes from the letter {{wp|Z}}. It may also be derived from ζυγωτός ''zygōtos'' (Greek for ''joined''), ''zygote'', ''garde'' (French for ''guard''), ''midgard'' (Old Norse: ''Miðgarðr''), or {{wp|Sigurd}}.

'''Regidrago''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジドラゴ''' ''Regidorago'') is a {{type|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

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

It is a member of the [[Legendary titans]] along with {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regieleki}}.

==Biology==
Regidrago is a spherical, golem-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with parts of a {{wp|dragon}}'s mouth as arms. It has a dark red body with a blue dot pattern on its face that resembles the capital letter "Y". It has two red legs with black feet that are shaped like teeth. The right arm resembles a dragon's upper jaw, while the left arm is shaped like a bottom jaw with dark red coloration underneath both arms. Two red spikes shaped like wings are located behind its back. Its body can glow pink when attacking.

Due to its body being partially formed by crystallized dragon energy, Regidrago is said to have the most powerful {{type|Dragon}} moves of all Pokémon. It also has the power of every {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. The energy is said to be the most dense in its central core. According to legend, Regidrago was created by {{p|Regigigas}} using crystallized dragon energy, but it ran out of crystals after building Regidrago's head. It was sealed away in a [[Split-Decision Ruins |temple]] due to the ancient people fearing the destruction it would cause should it ever be completed. It is capable of floating. Regidrago can fire an attack made by intense dragon energy by combining its arms to form a mouth.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/regidrago/</ref> There's an unproven academic theory that Regidrago's arms were from an ancient dragon.

Regidrago is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the move {{m|Dragon Energy}}.

==Trivia==
* Regidrago is the only member of the [[legendary titans]] that:
** Does not have a base {{stat|HP}} stat of 80.
** Cannot learn {{m|Lock-On}} and {{m|Zap Cannon}} by level up, instead it learns {{m|Laser Focus}} and {{m|Dragon Energy}}.
** Does not share a weakness with any of the other titans.
* Along with {{p|Regieleki}}, Regidrago is the only [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]] that is not {{Shiny}}-locked in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

===Origin===
Regidrago seems to be based on the golems of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened, or even killed in some legends.

Regidrago also seems to be based on a dragon head and a crystal ball or a pearl held by an {{wp|Asian dragon}}.

The [[Legendary titans]] may be collectively themed after historical epochs, with Regidrago representing the {{wp|Middle Ages}}, a period known for its legends of dragons. Alternatively, Regidrago may represent the {{wp|Mesozoic}}, the era when dinosaurs walked the Earth which is also known as the Age of Reptiles.

====Name origin====
Regidrago and Regidorago may be a combination of ''regis'' (Latin for royal) and ''dragon''.
