A '''Musician''' (Japanese: '''ミュージシャン''' ''Musician'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. In [[Unova]], they are depicted as young men with long hair and glasses playing an {{wp|acoustic guitar}} and resemble [[Generation IV]]'s {{tc|Guitarist}}s. In [[Galar]], they are depicted as young men with short hair and sunglasses holding a microphone. In [[Paldea]], they are young women depicted as country artists, wearing cowgirl clothing.

In Generations [[Generation V|V]] and [[Generation IX|IX]], most Pokémon used by Musicians are related to sound and music, and tend to use [[sound-based move]]s. In [[Generation VIII]], they specialize in {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

In [[Double Battle]]s, a Musician paired with a female {{tc|Dancer}} are called a {{tc|Music Crew}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Musician Adventures.png|140px|thumb|A Musician in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
====={{MangaArc|Black & White}}=====
A Musician appeared with his {{p|Eelektrik}} in ''[[PS486|Unraveling Mysteries]]''.

Another Musician appeared in ''[[PS500|With a Little Help From My Friends]]''. He was based on the Musician who plays the guitar in Café Sonata and teaches {{p|Meloetta}} {{m|Relic Song}} in the {{pkmn|games}}. He was impressed by {{adv|Bianca}}'s flute performances that White recorded and sent to him, and invited the two to Café Sonata. By the time White and Bianca arrived, he was being attacked by a wild {{p|Vullaby}}, and his hand was broken as a result of the attack, which left him unable to play the guitar.

===={{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}====
A Musician was briefly shown at [[Hammerlocke]] in ''[[PASS17|Stealth!! Infiltrate the Energy Plant]]''.

In ''[[PASS18|Chomp!! It's Dracovish]]'', a Musician who was '''Eric''' (Japanese: '''トシユキ''' ''Toshiyuki'') from {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} in disguise was sent with his cohorts to [[Route 9 Tunnel]] to dispose of a wild {{p|Dracovish}} that suddenly [[Dynamax]]ed. The Dracovish was saved by [[Marvin]], who used his [[Sniffler]] to stun everyone long enough for him to catch Dracovish and escape. Afterward, Eric and the others reported their failure to [[Oleana]] and were ordered to stand by in [[Wyndon]].

A '''Cook''' (Japanese: '''コック''' ''Cook'') is a type of {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} introduced in [[Generation VII]]. They are depicted as apron-wearing men and women interested in cooking. They can be seen as the counterpart for [[Generation VI]]'s {{tc|Chef}} class in Generation VII onward.

In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], all Pokémon used by Cooks are holding [[Leftovers]].

From [[Generation VIII]] onward, they tend to specialize in food-themed Pokémon.

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Cooks keep their Pokémon in [[Great Ball]]s. In the {{gal|Battle Tower}}, they specialize in {{t|Bug}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, and {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

'''Pecharunt''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モモワロウ''' ''Momowarou'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Ghost}} {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] [[Mochi Mayhem|Epilogue: Mochi Mayhem]].

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

It is the [[Legendary group#Legendary leaders|trio master]] of the [[Loyal Three]]. It is associated with {{p|Ogerpon}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Pecharunt shell form in game.png|thumb|200px|left|Pecharunt inside its shell]]
Pecharunt is a small Pokémon resembling a piece of {{wp|mochi}}. It has two forms it can take both inside and outside of battle. The first form resembles an upside-down peach, with a black circle at the center and a thin, vertical line splitting its body into two halves. Inside of this circle are two white semicircle eyes. It takes its second form upon opening up, revealing a smaller inner body resembling a peach's pit. It has a darker purple and pink body with two white eyes, below which is a white, ribbon-shaped mouth. On its head rests two purple flaps and a scorpion-like ponytail. It has two heart-shaped paws at the bottom of its body, along with three black dots on each side underneath them. The discarded shell floats on both sides of Pecharunt, forming spiky wing-like appendages. The inside of these shells have a bright pink glow, outlined in black. The bright pink extends slightly through the black outline in six thin lines. It stores {{a|Toxic Chain}}s and [[mochi|Binding Mochi]] within its shell until needed to be used. The chains have a magenta color to them and are divided in identical segments, terminating in a segment which is slightly larger which has two protrusions, making it resemble the shape of Pecharunt's shell.

Pecharunt stores its poison in its peach-shaped shell and uses this poison to create poisonous mochi called Binding Mochi, as well as toxic chains, which are stored in its shell until they are needed. It serves its mochi to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[human]]s, but may shoot them at their mouths if needed. The mochi draws out their desires and potential abilities, but the ones who taste it become chained to its will and in some cases, completly fall under its control. According to [[Penny]], the mochi that Pecharunt creates are somewhat sweet. It is able to use {{m|Malignan Chain|its toxic chains in combat}} as well, which {{status|Poison|badly poisons}} its enemies in the process. Its chains can also empower other Pokémon, using its toxins to enhance certain aspects of their bodies, such as their muscles, brain, or looks, as seen with the [[Loyal Three]]. The only known way to eliminate Pecharunt's influence is either capturing it or otherwise capturing those tied to it, the latter being implied by Pecharunt's reaction to any of the Loyal Three fighting against it. According to the {{player}}, Pecharunt smells incredibly sweet.<ref>Player: ''"There’s a dusty old decoration of some sort mixed in with all the daily goods and things... and it smells incredibly sweet!'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] epilogue - [[Mochi Mayhem]])</ref> It is known to cry and act like a baby in order to gain sympathy from others.<ref name="website">[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/pecharunt/ Pecharunt | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> If mortally wounded, Pecharunt will retreat into its shell and remain asleep for years.
[[File:Mdl Carmine Mochi.png|thumb|[[Carmine]] under the effects of the Binding Mochi]]
Humans under Pecharunt's control have purple eyes and are surrounded by a purple aura. The controlled humans also hold their arms while performing a chicken dance-like movement, repeating the word "mochi" constantly. However, in some cases like with [[Nemona]] and [[Hideko]], its shown that the possessed human can partially resist its influence and still speak somewhat freely. It can even command humans or even Pokémon to fight for it in battles. Pecharunt is capable of controlling multiple humans at once. It relies on others to fight for it due to its size. However, Pecharunt will fight back if its mind-controlled minions fail it. Capturing Pecharunt will free those under its control with no memories of being controlled. Pecharunt's mochis's effect on people are likened by [[Kieran]] to a curse.

According to myth, Pecharunt came from a distant land where it was adopted by an elderly couple who had no children. Pecharunt fed its adoptive parents its toxic mochi which brought out their greed, they asked for things and Pecharunt gave them what they requested as it wanted their love and affection. The couple eventually asked for a mask which can only be found in Kitakami, Pecharunt left to obtain the mask but not before recruiting Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti to aid in its quest. They successfully stole 3 masks from Ogerpon but earned its wrath, Ogerpon killed the Loyal 3 in retaliation but only Pecharunt survived having retreated into its shell. It wouldn't be found again until hundreds of years later when a Mythical Pecha Berry awoke it.

Pecharunt is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Malignant Chain}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Poison Puppeteer}} as an [[Ability]].

==Trivia==
* Before the official reveal of Pecharunt, it appeared with its shell closed in {{p|Ogerpon}}'s story told by [[Yukito and Hideko|Yukito]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Teal Mask]]. What appears to be a Pecharunt doll can also be seen at Peachy's in [[Mossui Town]], which is later revealed in [[Mochi Mayhem]] to be the actual Pecharunt, simply slumbering after the [[Loyal Three]]'s defeat at the hands of {{p|Ogerpon}}.
* While its shell is closed, Pecharunt's shape is similar to the shape of the Loyal Three's Toxic Chains' tips. This hints at the connection between the chains and the Pokémon.
* An image of the Loyal Three and a human child chasing down a large monstrous ogre is spotted in each of them, a lady in [[Kitakami Hall]] ponders if that was their trainer. This could be a reference or even a depiction of Pecharunt when it used to lead the trio.
* Pecharunt is known internally as ''Dokutaro'', a reference to its basis on the tale of {{wp|Momotarō}} and its {{t|poison}} type. (''doku'' is Japanese for poison)
* Pecharunt is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].
* Pecharunt is the lightest Mythical Pokémon.
* Pecharunt is the only {{type|Poison}} Mythical Pokémon, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Toxic Plate]].
* Pecharunt has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Pecharunt is the only Mythical Pokémon to have its English name be different from its Japanese name.
* All of Pecharunt's base stats are 88 (except for its Defense), and all moves learned by Pecharunt via leveling up are learned at levels that are multiples of 8 (excluding level 1). This mirrors the [[Loyal Three]], who has a shared base HP stat of 88 and learn moves at the same levels.
** Additionally, at the end of [[Mochi Mayhem]], Pecharunt is caught at level 88.
* Pecharunt, {{p|Walking Wake}}, and {{p|Iron Leaves}} are the only Pokémon that can be registered but are not required for the completion of the Blueberry Pokédex.
** In addition, Pecharunt is the only Pokémon with this distinction that is not a [[Paradox Pokémon]], instead being a Mythical Pokémon.
* During the final battle in Mochi Mayhem, Pecharunt either is the recipient of or subject to special reactions depending on whether the player has {{p|Ogerpon}} and/or any of the Loyal Three members in their party and uses them against it.
** If the player uses {{p|Ogerpon}} against it, a scene will play where Ogerpon shows visible distress and anger and yells "GRAH! Pon PON!!!", alluding to Pecharunt's actions against Ogerpon and her companion in the past.
** If the player uses any of the Loyal Three against it, a scene will play where Pecharunt reacts with visible shock and anger before yelling "Pechaaa! Chraaahhh!", likely due to the Loyal Three turning against it. It should be noted that the scene replays with each member when they are first used against it.

===Origin===
Pecharunt, together with {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, {{p|Fezandipiti}}, and {{p|Ogerpon}}, may reference the Japanese folktale of ''{{wp|Momotarō}}''. The tale relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of ''{{wp|oni}}'' (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations). Pecharunt appears to represent Momotarō himself: Pecharunt's appearance resembles popular depictions of Momotarō with the headband and tied hair; its outer shell resembles a bisected peach or [[Pecha Berry]], referencing how Momotarō was found as a baby inside a cut peach; and its habit of feeding others poisonous mochi is likely based on how Momotarō recruited his companions by feeding them ''{{wp|Kibi dango (millet dumpling)|kibi dango}}'', a type of mochi.

Pecharunt's story also mirrors that of Momotarō. Pecharunt was raised by two elderly people, went on an adventure to a distant land, teamed up with a dog, monkey and pheasant, and encountered an oni. However, the ending of Pecharunt's story is the opposite to that of Momotarō's, with the group being beaten by the oni.

Pecharunt's small stature and its peach-shaped shell also makes it resemble a peach pit. Its {{t|Poison}} type may refer to the fact that the peach pit contains chemicals that are toxic in large doses. It may also reference the [[Pecha Berry]]'s effect of curing poison. The yellowish coloration of its Shiny form resembles the flesh of some peaches.

====Name origin====
Pecharunt may be a combination of ''peach'' or ''[[Pecha Berry]]'' and ''runt'' or ''petulant''.

Momowarou may be a combination of 桃太郎 ''{{wp|Momotarō}}'', 桃 ''momo'' (peach), and 悪し ''waroshi'' (bad or inferior; the classical Japanese form of 悪い ''warui'') or 和郎 ''warō'' (boy).

===History===
{{spoilers}}
There is a lot of mystery surrounding the Terastal phenomenon and why it only happens in Paldea. [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} was known to be researching this mysterious transformation.<ref name=Terastal/> It is later revealed that the Terastal phenomenon also occurs in [[Kitakami]] and, through use of technology, [[Blueberry Academy]].

The Terastal phenomenon was first discovered 140 years ago in [[Area Zero]] along with Terastallized Pokémon at the bottom of the [[Great Crater of Paldea]]. However, attempts to remove Terastallized Pokémon from the crater caused the light to disappear. Further details of the Terastal phenomenon thus remained unclear for a while.

Ten years before the events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the game's professor began investigating the phenomenon, and discovered that the energy emitted from shining crystals in Area Zero is what triggers it. The [[Tera Orb]]s were then created by the professor from the Terastal energy located in Area Zero, with support from [[Clavell|Director Clavell]]. This allowed people to Terastallize their Pokémon outside of Area Zero. The Tera Orb was then shared to the [[Paldea League]] and [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}.

At some point, the Terastal energy was used by the professor to create a [[Time travel|time machine]], bringing in [[Paradox Pokémon]] from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}, including a pair of {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}.

The crystalline petals of {{p|Glimmora}} seem to resemble the Tera Jewels that appear during the Terastal phenomenon. It is unknown if there is a connection between Glimmora and the Terastal phenomenon, though many of them (along with its pre-evolution, {{p|Glimmet}}) can be found in Area Zero, the place where the phenomenon originated. Additionally, eight [[TM Material|Glimmet Crystal]]s are needed to make {{TM|171|Tera Blast}}, a move that changes type upon Terastallizing.

The [[Scarlet Book]]/[[Violet Book]] makes cryptic hints that it may be linked to an unknown Pokémon resembling a disk made of layers of overlapping hexagons, but the truth of this has yet to be confirmed. [[Area Zero journals|A journal in Research Station No. 1]] further implies its existence and relationship to the phenomenon. The journal reads:
<blockquote>"We've determined that this energy crystallization is linked to the being we call ▊▊▊▊▊▊. The interlocking hexagonal plates that comprise ▊▊▊▊▊▊'s shell must somehow cause this phenomenon—which I've dubbed 'Terastallizing.'"</blockquote> This Pokémon is ultimately confirmed to be {{p|Terapagos}}. A nineteenth Tera Type, the {{t|Stellar}} type, was later discovered and named by Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Professor Turo{{sup/9|V}}.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/new_tera_type/</ref>
{{endspoilers}}

===Effects===
[[File:Tera jewel concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Concept art of Fire-type and Water-type Tera Jewels from {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}]]
{{pkmn|Trainer}}s who obtain a [[Tera Orb]] are able to use it to Terastallize their Pokémon, which makes a Tera Jewel appear above the Pokémon's head and causes the Pokémon's body to glisten like polished, faceted gemstones. This changes the Pokémon's defensive [[type]](s) to its Tera Type, removing all other types, but gives a weakness to {{type|Stellar}} attacks, which can only be used by Stellar-type Tera Pokémon. Terastallized Pokémon are identified by having "Tera" in front of their name.

While Terastallized, Pokémon receive [[STAB]] on moves matching their Tera Type, in addition to moves matching the types they had immediately before Terastallizing. If the Pokémon's Tera Type is the same as one of its original types, moves of that type receive a ×2 power boost instead of the usual ×1.5.<ref name=Terastal/>

During this time, {{a|Adaptability}} works only for the Tera Type (with ×1.5 becoming ×2, and ×2 becoming ×2.25). Additionally, moves of the Tera Type that have [[base power]] below 60 but are not a [[multi-strike move]] or an increased [[priority]] move are stealthily boosted to 60BP; this is checked for after {{a|Technician}}'s boost.<ref>https://twitter.com/skittyve/status/1599911349764571137</ref> Pokémon can only have one Tera Type. The move {{m|Tera Blast}} changes type to the Pokémon's innate Tera Type upon Terastallizing.<ref>(August 21, 2022). "[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/master_terastal/ Master Using the Terastal Phenomenon in Battle!]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website</ref>

Terastallized Pokémon cannot have their type changed from moves and Abilities such as {{m|Soak}}, {{m|Double Shock}}, {{a|Protean}}, or {{m|Transform}}. A Pokémon using {{m|Transform}} before Terastallizing will not copy its opponent's Tera Type and will instead keep its own.

The Terastal phenomenon lasts until the battle ends or the Terastallized Pokémon faints. After being used once, the Tera Orb loses all its Terastal energy and has to be recharged by either touching crystals containing Terastal energy or by visiting a [[Pokémon Center]].<ref name=Terastal/> An exception to this can be found in Area Zero, where the Tera Orb will automatically recharge at the end of each battle after it is used. Upon capturing Terapagos at the end of [[The Indigo Disk]], the Tera Orb will be infused with Terapagos' energy and will no longer require charging.

After beating the [[Medali Gym]], the player can change their Pokémon's Tera Type at the [[Medali|Treasure Eatery]] by exchanging 50 [[Tera Shard]]s of a given type with the chef, but this can't be done for {{p|Ogerpon}} or {{p|Terapagos}}.

The Terastal phenomenon is only found in [[Paldea]], apparently due to the Terastal energy seeping from the ground of the region,<ref name=Terastal>(August 3, 2022). "[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/terastal_phenomenon/ Pokémon Shine and Glimmer Like Gems Thanks to the Terastal Phenomenon]." Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website</ref> as well as [[Kitakami]]. It is also usable in the [[Blueberry Academy]] due to [[Briar]]'s research.

===Catching Tera Pokémon===
Normal wild Pokémon found in Paldea typically have a Tera Type that matches one of their normal types. This Tera Type does not reflect their potential evolutions and cannot be passed down through {{pkmn|breeding}}. For example, a {{p|Charcadet}} will always have a {{t|Fire}} Tera Type. Typically, there are only two ways to obtain a wild Tera Pokémon with unique typing: either catch a wild Tera Pokémon scattered around Paldea, or participate in a [[Tera Raid Battle]]. These Pokémon may know [[TM]] [[move]]s that match this set Tera Type.

====Wild Tera Pokémon====
There are 68 wild Tera Pokémon scattered around Paldea, the majority with unique Tera Types. They can be found in fixed locations and typically have Tera Types different from their base types, a notable exception being the eight [[Eeveelution]]s, who have Tera Types that match their base types, and would normally have a {{t|Normal}} Tera Type if [[evolution|evolved]] from {{p|Eevee}}. The wild Tera Pokémon are indicated by a bright glow emitting from their bodies, and when battled against will immediately Terastallize. Wild Tera Pokémon cannot be caught while Terastallized until after they lose their Tera Jewel, which will happen after sustaining a certain amount of damage from direct attacks. Once this threshold is reached, the damage the Pokémon has taken will be capped until they lose their Tera Jewel, even from [[multi-strike move]]s.

Wild Tera Pokémon will eventually respawn after being caught or defeated and will always have a perfect 31 in at least three of their [[individual value|IVs]].

====Tera Raid Battle====
[[Tera Raid Battle]]s occur all over Paldea, with the locations changing at random each real-life day at midnight. These locations are indicated on the map, and in the overworld are indicated by a large, colored "shining crystal", with a beam of sparkling lights shooting into the sky.

===Special Terastallized state===
Some Pokémon species have a special '''Terastallized state''', which changes their appearance significantly when Terastallizing, instead of simply gaining their Tera [[Type]]'s jewel. {{p|Ogerpon}} and {{p|Terapagos}} are the only Pokémon known to have special Terastallized states, as well as the only ones which cannot otherwise change their Tera Types. This makes Ogerpon the only Pokémon incapable of being {{type|Stellar}}, and Terapagos the only Pokémon incapable of having different Tera Types.

The Terastal phenomenon debuted in [[HZ010]], where [[Brassius]] Terastallized his {{p|Sudowoodo}} into a {{t|Grass}} [[type]] during his battle with [[Roy]]. After the battle, [[Nemona]] explained how the phenomenon works to [[Liko]] and Roy. Unlike in the games, Terastallization is possible in regions not related to Paldea, as shown in [[HZ025]].

In [[HZ014]], [[Friede]] Terastallized his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} into a {{t|Dark}} type for the first time during his fight against [[Spinel]]'s {{p|Magneton}} and {{p|Beheeyem}}.

In [[HZ034]], [[Hamber]] Terastallized his {{p|Dusknoir}} during his training battle with [[Amethio]] in order to power up its {{t|Ghost}} moves. In the same episode, [[Dot|Nidothing]] published a video about the Terastal phenomenon.

Terastallized Pokémon were first introduced in the English {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Scarlet ex}} and {{TCG|Violet ex}} expansions) as {{TCG|Pokémon ex}} cards. These Pokémon are known as '''Tera''' (Japanese: '''テラスタル''' ''Terastal'') Pokémon. While on the Bench, Tera Pokémon do not receive any damage from attacks done by either player.

Some Tera Pokémon ex can have types that differ from their usual ones. These so-called type-shifted Tera Pokémon ex use the same Energy as their usual type for attacks, but their Weakness and Resistance will correspond with the shifted type.

Stellar (type)

2023-12-24T20:10:58Z

Nihkee: /* Trivia */ comma

{{types}}
The '''Stellar type''' (Japanese: '''ステラタイプ''' ''Stella type'') is a [[type]] that exists only in [[Generation IX]]. Unlike other types, no Pokémon or [[move]]s bear it naturally, being exclusive to the [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallized state]] of a Pokémon. Stellar-type moves are super effective against other Tera Pokémon.

==Battle properties==
{{Flexheader}}
{{TypeProperties
|type=Stellar
|prop=Off
|se=Terastallized Pokémon
}}
{{Flexfooter}}
Uniquely, the Stellar type has no defensive properties, as a Stellar-type Tera Pokémon will always retain its original typing's defensive properties. Outside of Terastallizing, any attempts to change a Pokémon's type into the Stellar type (such as the moves {{m|Conversion 2}} or {{m|Reflect Type}}) will fail. As such, Stellar-type Pokémon are in practice always weak to Stellar-type {{m|Tera Blast}} and {{m|Tera Starstorm}} from other Stellar-type Tera Pokémon, in addition to any weaknesses of their original typing.

===Additional effects===
When a Pokémon {{Terastal}}lizes into the Stellar type, it gains an attack boost for every move type, but only once per type; 2× for original types and 1.2× for every other type. After a move is used, no other moves of that same type will receive this boost from being Terastallized. In [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, all moves will be boosted in this manner without limit. In its Stellar Form, {{p|Terapagos}} similarly retains this boost at all times.

Stellar-type {{m|Tera Blast}} gains increased base power at the cost of lowering the user’s Attack and Special Attack stats by one stage, and Stellar-type {{m|Tera Starstorm}} changes to hit multiple opponents. Other moves cannot be changed into the Stellar type.

==Pokémon==
No Pokémon is naturally Stellar-type. All Pokémon in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} except {{p|Ogerpon}} can gain the Stellar type through [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallization]], but defensively, they are treated as their base type.

==Trivia==
* The Stellar type is the most recent [[type]] to be introduced.
* This is the only type to be exclusive to a [[Terastal phenomenon|transformation mechanic]]. Likewise, it is the only type a Pokémon can not be without the mechanic.

Stellar (type)

2023-12-24T20:10:14Z

Nihkee:

{{types}}
The '''Stellar type''' (Japanese: '''ステラタイプ''' ''Stella type'') is a [[type]] that exists only in [[Generation IX]]. Unlike other types, no Pokémon or [[move]]s bear it naturally, being exclusive to the [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallized state]] of a Pokémon. Stellar-type moves are super effective against other Tera Pokémon.

==Battle properties==
{{Flexheader}}
{{TypeProperties
|type=Stellar
|prop=Off
|se=Terastallized Pokémon
}}
{{Flexfooter}}
Uniquely, the Stellar type has no defensive properties, as a Stellar-type Tera Pokémon will always retain its original typing's defensive properties. Outside of Terastallizing, any attempts to change a Pokémon's type into the Stellar type (such as the moves {{m|Conversion 2}} or {{m|Reflect Type}}) will fail. As such, Stellar-type Pokémon are in practice always weak to Stellar-type {{m|Tera Blast}} and {{m|Tera Starstorm}} from other Stellar-type Tera Pokémon, in addition to any weaknesses of their original typing.

===Additional effects===
When a Pokémon {{Terastal}}lizes into the Stellar type, it gains an attack boost for every move type, but only once per type; 2× for original types and 1.2× for every other type. After a move is used, no other moves of that same type will receive this boost from being Terastallized. In [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, all moves will be boosted in this manner without limit. In its Stellar Form, {{p|Terapagos}} similarly retains this boost at all times.

Stellar-type {{m|Tera Blast}} gains increased base power at the cost of lowering the user’s Attack and Special Attack stats by one stage, and Stellar-type {{m|Tera Starstorm}} changes to hit multiple opponents. Other moves cannot be changed into the Stellar type.

==Pokémon==
No Pokémon is naturally Stellar-type. All Pokémon in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} except {{p|Ogerpon}} can gain the Stellar type through [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallization]], but defensively, they are treated as their base type.

Template talk:TypeEffectiveness

2023-12-15T04:13:02Z

Nihkee: /* Add Stellar */ new section

I can't see any check for Pokémon who lost their Normal-type in favor of Fairy-type (such as Togetic or Clefairy), so they're no longer immune to Ghost-type. They were before that, though. [[User:Uploader|Uploader]] ([[User talk:Uploader|talk]]) 11:21, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, but [[X and Y]] has just come out and not many people would have it. They would need the type effectiveness of other gens.

[[User:KogaEliteFour|KogaEliteFour]] ([[User talk:KogaEliteFour|talk]]) 11:26, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

== Lightningrod redirect ==

The two occurences of ''<nowiki>{{acolor|Lightningrod|000}}</nowiki>'' should either be replaced by ''<nowiki>{{acolor|Lightning Rod|000}}</nowiki>'' (produces: {{acolor|Lightning Rod|000}}) or ''<nowiki>{{acolor|Lightning Rod|000|Lightningrod}}</nowiki>'' (produces: {{acolor|Lightning Rod|000|Lightningrod}}). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:00, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

== Special moves ==

This should have Flying Press and Freeze Dry. [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]]) 21:16, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
:The pages for those moves have the appropriate tables. the Freeze Dry page probably could use separate tables for when it's been affected by Normalize or Electrify like the Flying Press page does, but I don't really see a need to change the template itself. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 21:20,2/16/2014 (UTC)

== Primal Abilities ==

The template should be edited at some time to include immunity notes for {{a|Desolate Land}} ({{t|Water}}) and {{a|Primordial Sea}} ({{t|Fire}}). - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 13:01, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

== Filter ==

Unlike {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Mr. Mime}}, Filter is the only Ability of Mega Aggron. We may need to reflect that... (But then again, that means Mega Aggron's default weakness to Fire, Fighting and Ground is 1½; that doesn't seem to be a number we can currently set). [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 08:30, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
:Bump. Also, on that note, all pre-G6 Steel types have notes that erroneously ''always'' state "Generation II-Generation V", even if the Pokémon did not exist in some of these Generations. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 17:10, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
:By the way, there's also fact there doesn't seem to be a immunity removal note for former Normal-types turned into pure Fairy-types (like Clefairy or Snubbull). [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 08:34, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

== Wonderguard ==

In the section for Wonderguard, shouldn't it be added that when Shedinja looses the Abilty, not only are Fighting and Normal the only types that still don't hit, but it also has ½× against Grass, Poison, Bug & Ground? - [[User:Mr. Flix|Mr. Flix]] | [[User_talk:Mr. Flix|Talk to me^^]] 12:13, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
:I thought about this, and I'm going to say this is not necessary. Shedinja is the only Pokémon who normally gets Wonder Guard. While virtually all 721 Pokémon are capable of having it (for instance, a Pokémon activates Trace to get it, then uses Entrainment on any Pokémon), that is something better covered at the Wonder Guard page itself, not in a brief type effectiveness table note; we're not putting this note under all 721 Pokémon with notes of which types are immunities for each species, only under Shedinja where it really doesn't change anything. If another natural Wonder Guard species appears one day, it might be worth noting then. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 22:18, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

== Iron Ball ==

If a Pokémon that is weak to ground and is flying (i.e. Emolga) is given an Iron ball, it correctly states that they take 1x damage in gen 5 and 2x damage in gen 6 from ground. However, it also states by default that they take 2x damage in gen 4. For some pokémon this isn't a problem (like Zapdos) because they were in gen 4, but for others such as Emolga that were added later it seems odd that their type chart mentions gen 4 when they didn't exist at the time. [[User:Tigertomd|Tigertomd]] ([[User talk:Tigertomd|talk]]) 03:27, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

== Generation VII ==

Since it's now Gen VII, the chart should be edited to display the current generation instead of Generation VI. [[User:Superjustinbros.|Superjustinbros.]] ([[User talk:Superjustinbros.|talk]]) 00:12, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

== Subpages ==

Shouldn't this template (along with [[Template:Ability/head|this other one]]) have subpage divisions like [[Template:Learnlist/levelh/7|the learnset one]]? Because at is it, it's pretty confusing already with so many notes and specific exceptions at the footer. Having specific tables for each generation (which could be its own subpage) would be far easier to read, and in the case of ability tables, accurate, since some abilities don't even match between games, like {{p|Torkoal}}'s. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 07:19, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

== {{m|Magic Powder}} effect ==

Someone should add the note when a Pokémon with {{a|Wonder Guard}} as its Ability is affected by {{m|Magic Powder}}:

''If this Pokémon is affected by {{mcolor|Magic Powder|000}}, only {{typecolor|Bug}}, {{typecolor|Dark}}, and {{typecolor2|Ghost}} moves will cause damage to this Pokémon.''

[[User:Wrrasba|Wrrasba]] ([[User talk:Wrrasba|talk]]) 12:43, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
==Supressed abilities==
Is there a way to note that type effectiveness changes if a pokemon's ability is suppressed? For example, [[Aggron (Pokémon)#Mega Aggron 2|Mega Aggron]]'s ability is [[Filter]] and the type chart reflects this by saying that super effective moves are 1.5x effective. However, it doesn't mention that those are 2x weaknesses if its ability is supressed or replaced. [[wk:User:Pinkyoshifan|---]][[User:PinkYoshiFan|Pink]][[User talk:PinkYoshiFan|Yoshi]][[Special:Contributions/PinkYoshiFan|Fan]] 23:54, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
:Adding on to PinkYoshi's point here, Mega Venusaur is a similar case, where its only possible ability affects its type effectiveness. There is a way to include notes, but abilities are usually entered as "maybe", where the note will say "If this Pokemon has this ability...", or "yes", where the note will say "If the opponent has Mold Breaker...". For whatever reason, Filter and Thick Fat are only given "maybe" notes, not "yes" notes. [[User:TechSkylander1518|TechSkylander1518]] ([[User talk:TechSkylander1518|talk]]) 08:56, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

== Needs to be updated for Generation IX. ==

This template needs to be updated to account for new Generation IX Abilities. These include:
* {{a|Earth Eater}} ({{t|Ground}} becomes 0x)
* {{a|Purifying Salt}} ({{t|Ghost}} becomes 1/2x)
* {{a|Well-Baked Body}} ({{t|Fire}} becomes 0x)
I don't have the credentials to update the template myself, so i thought i might post a notice here. Thank you. [[User:Anzasquiddles|Anzasquiddles]] ([[User talk:Anzasquiddles|talk]]) 19:22, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

It also needs updated to have Generation IX listed in the upper left corner instead of VIII. [[User:Aykrivwassup|Aykrivwassup]] ([[User talk:Aykrivwassup|talk]]) 16:22, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

== Add Stellar ==

Since {{type|Stellar}} affects every Pokemon neutrally, and so many Pokemon pages would have to be manually added otherwise, I suggest that Stellar should be automatically added into the "Damaged Normally By" section when this template is used.

Uniquely, the Stellar type has no defensive properties, as a Stellar-type Pokémon will always retain its original typing's Defensive properties.

===Additional effects===
When a Pokémon [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallizes]] into the Stellar type, it gains [[STAB]] for every move type, but only once per type. After a move is used, no other moves of that same type will receive STAB. In [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, all moves will be boosted without limit.

When {{m|Tera Blast}} is this type, it has a special interaction, and is super effective against Terastallized targets. This lowers the user's Attack and Special Attack stats, however.

==Pokémon==
No Pokémon are naturally Stellar-type, but they can become Stellar-type through [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallization]].

Tera Shard

2023-12-14T22:26:03Z

Nihkee: stellar

'''Tera Shards''' (Japanese: '''テラピース''' ''Tera Piece'') are a group of [[item]]s introduced in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. They can be used to change a Pokémon's [[Tera Type]].

==Price==
{{ItemPrice/head‎|Items}}
{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev9|SV}}|N/A|{{PDollar}}500}}
|}
|}

==Effect==
After defeating [[Gym Leader]] [[Larry]], the player can speak to the {{tc|Cook}} at the Treasure Eatery in [[Medali]] to change a Pokémon's Tera Type. She will require 50 Tera Shards of the desired type to do so.

==Acquisition==
Tera Shards are most commonly acquired by completing [[Tera Raid Battle]]s of at least 3★, which may yield Tera Shards that match the Raid Boss's Tera Type. Higher-difficulty Tera Raids tend to yield more Tera Shards upon victory.

Tera Shards may also be found occasionally in the overworld as [[hidden item]]s.

==Description==
All Tera Shards share the following description:
{{movedesc|Items}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev9|SV}}|On rare occasions, these shards form when a Tera Pokémon falls in battle and its Tera Jewel shatters.}}
|}

'''Tera Blast''' (Japanese: '''テラバースト''' ''Tera Burst'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IX]]. It is [[TM171]] in Generation IX.

==Effect==
{{MoveResearch|Does the move's category actually change, or only the stat used for damage calculation? Under what circumstances does this happen? For what purposes other than Gale Wings is Tera Blast considered Normal-type? Is the super effectiveness against Terastallized targets true of this move only or Stellar type moves as a whole? Test with something like {{m|Revelation Dance}}.}}
Tera Blast deals damage. If the user's {{stat|Attack}} stat is higher than its {{stat|Special Attack}} stat, Tera Blast becomes a [[physical move]] when {{Terastal}}lized; otherwise, it remains a [[special move]]. For determining which stat is higher, stat stage-modifiers are taken into account, but other effects (e.g. [[held item]]s such as a [[Choice Band]], Abilities such as {{a|Huge Power}}, etc.) are not.

If the user has Terastallized, Tera Blast's [[type]] becomes the same as their Tera Type, is unaffected by moves and abilites that change its type, and has a different animation depending on the move's type. Tera Blast is always considered Normal-type for the purpose of {{a|Gale Wings}}.

If the user has Terastallized into the {{type|Stellar}}, it has a special interaction, and is super effective against Terastallized targets. This lowers the user’s Attack and Sp. Atk stats, however.

==Description==
{{movedesc|normal}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev9|SV}}|If the user has Terastallized, it unleashes energy of its Tera Type. This move inflicts damage using the Attack or Sp. Atk stat—whichever is higher for the user.

==Trivia==
* Tera Blast is the first [[Generation IX]] move in [[List of moves|index number order]].
* The [[TM]] for Tera Blast is incompatible with only two Pokémon, the fewest of any TM, [[TR]], or [[HM]] in any [[generation]].
* Tera Blast hints at {{p|Glimmet}} and {{p|Glimmora}}'s implied connection to the [[Terastal phenomenon]], as eight [[TM Material|Glimmet Crystals]] are needed to make the TM.

Stellar (type)

Nihkee: /* Battle properties */ Looks like *someone* (me) forgot sp. vs regular atk is true of tera blast always. This made it into someone's article too, so good job on copying wikis for a living ya goofs.

{{upcoming notice}}
{{types}}
The '''Stellar type''' (Japanese: '''ステラタイプ''' ''Stellar type'') is a [[type]] that exists only in [[Generation IX]]. Unlike other types, no Pokémon or moves bear it naturally, being exclusive to the [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallized state]] of specific Pokémon.

==Battle properties==
When a Pokémon [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallizes]] into the Stellar type, it gains [[STAB]] for every move type, but only once per type. After a move is used, no other moves of that same type will receive STAB. In [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, all moves will be boosted without limit.

When {{m|Tera Blast}} is this type, it has a special interaction, and is super effective against Terastallized targets. This lowers the user's Attack and Special Attack stats, however.

==Pokémon==
No Pokémon are naturally Stellar-type, but they can become Stellar-type through [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallization]].
==Moves==
No moves are naturally Stellar-type, but {{m|Tera Blast}} can become Stellar-type if the user Terastallizes into the Stellar type.

==Trivia==
*Pecharunt is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].
* Pecharunt is the only {{type|Poison}} Mythical Pokémon, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Toxic Plate]].
*Pecharunt has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Pecharunt, together with {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, {{p|Fezandipiti}}, and {{p|Ogerpon}}, may reference the Japanese folktale of ''{{wp|Momotarō}}''. The tale relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of ''{{wp|oni}}'' (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations). Pecharunt appears to represent Momotarō himself. Its outer shell covering resembles a bisected peach or [[Pecha Berry]], referencing how Momotarō was found as a baby inside a cut peach, also resembling a peach pit.

====Name origin====
Pecharunt may be a combination of ''peach'', ''[[Pecha Berry]]'', and ''runt''.

Momowarō may be a combination of 桃太郎 ''{{wp|Momotarō}}'' and 悪し ''waroshi'' (bad or inferior; the classical Japanese form of 悪い ''warui'').

'''Ogerpon ''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オーガポン''' ''Ogerpon'') is a {{type|Grass}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]], with [[The Teal Mask]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Ogerpon has eight [[#Form data|forms]], four standard forms that depend on the mask it is wearing, which also changes its type, and another four that appear when Ogerpon [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallizes]], giving it a unique '''Terastallized state'''.
* While Ogerpon is wearing the [[Teal Mask]] by default, it is in its '''Teal Mask''' form, and is a pure {{type|Grass}} (regardless of whether it is in the Terastallized state or not).
* While Ogerpon is wearing the [[Wellspring Mask]], it is in its '''Wellspring Mask''' form, and is dual-type {{2t|Grass|Water}} normally, becoming pure {{t|Water}}-type in its Terastallized state.
* While Ogerpon is wearing the [[Hearthflame Mask]], it is in its '''Hearthflame Mask''' form, and is dual-type {{2t|Grass|Fire}} normally, becoming pure {{t|Fire}}-type in its Terastallized state.
* While Ogerpon is wearing the [[Cornerstone Mask]], it is in its '''Cornerstone Mask''' form, and is dual-type {{2t|Grass|Rock}} normally, becoming pure {{t|Rock}}-type in its Terastallized state.

Teal Mask Ogerpon is the [[game mascot]] of [[The Teal Mask]], appearing in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]].

It is associated with the [[Loyal Three]].

==Biology==
Ogerpon is a predominantly green, humanoid [[Pokémon]]. Its green torso is spotted with white flowers and yellow dots, and it is capable of extending green and black vines of ivy. Its long legs are black in the front and white in the back, and its two-toed feet each have two green leaves sprouting between the toes. Its torso is mostly covered by a large, green, multicolored cloak-like structure that extends from a stem on top of its head. This cloak frames its face with a large, black, thorny vine, the two uppermost thorns resembling horns. While the cloak's sleeves move as if Ogerpon has arms beneath them, it actually has no arms or even shoulders; the cloak itself is prehensile and serves as its arms, with the "sleeves" able to grasp and manipulate objects. Ogerpon has an orange face, yellow eyes with white, star-shaped pupils and small green leaves at the edges that loosely resemble eyelashes, a three-pointed leaf that serves as hair, small black markings on its eyebrows and cheeks, and two pointed fangs in its upper jaw. Its face is usually hidden behind a mask, and in battle, it wields a large, spiky cudgel wrapped in ivy; these tools are stored under its cloak when not in use. Ogerpon is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

It is a mischievous and curious Pokémon that enjoys spending time with humans while wearing a mask to blend in. It fights by confusing its opponents with its nimble movements and kicks, and it draws [[type]]-based energy from its masks, imbuing its cudgel with different elements. Ogerpon becomes weaker if its masks are taken away, and its full power can be restored to it by returning its masks. This species is known to have a very long lifespan; [[Ogerpon (game)|one specimen]] is confirmed to have been alive for hundreds of years.

Ogerpon is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the move {{m|Ivy Cudgel}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Embody Aspect}} as an [[Ability]], albeit it is only acquired through the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

===Forms===
Ogerpon has eight different forms, with two corresponding to each of its four masks, and accordingly change the color of its cloak and the aura of its cudgel. Each standard form also has an associated special [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallized state]] that causes the mask to transform, gain ogresque crystal horns, float in front of Ogerpon, and grow to such an immense size that it hides all but Ogerpon's legs when viewed from the front. Ogerpon's unique Terastallization comes from the intense emotions it feels. Because Ogerpon's [[Tera Type]] is wholly determined by the energy in its mask, it cannot be changed at the [[Treasure Eatery]], unlike other Pokémon.

| colspan="2" | The Teal Mask is primarily teal and green in color, and sports a mischievous expression that is sometimes described as fearsome.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/new_pokemon/</ref> The grinning mouth is tan, with two extensions beneath it that resemble pincers. On each side of the mouth is a group of three green leaves, each one larger than the leaf beneath. The top of the mask features five teal leaves that form a crown of sorts, with the four outer leaves each having a hole cut towards the center. The mask contains nine Tera crystals: two that resemble squinting eyes, six as the "veins" of the green leaves, and one large, four-pointed crystal set in the central teal leaf as the crown jewel.

When Terastallized, numerous green leaves and vines grow out from behind the sides of the mask, the Terastal symbol appears in the crown jewel, two branching crystal horns protrude from the crown, and the mouth opens up wider in a terrifying grin.

The Teal Mask draws upon the power of grass; while wearing it, Ogerpon's Tera Type is always {{t|Grass}}. It is said to have the power to restore life to withered plants.

| colspan="2" | The Wellspring Mask is predominantly blue and white in color, and sports a somber expression. The entire mask is framed by blue hair that forms a heart shape, with a streak of lighter blue hair on each side. The face is white with circular, light blue eyebrows, simple black lines for a closed mouth and eyes, and two large tears made of Tera crystals beneath the eyes.

When Terastallized, the mask's hair flares out to the sides, water flows out from behind the sides of the mask, the Terastal symbol appears in the left tear, and two flat crystal horns protrude from its hair.

The Wellspring Mask draws upon the power of water; while wearing it, Ogerpon's Tera Type is always {{t|Water}}. With this mask, Ogerpon excels in both offense and defense, its unrelenting kicks and ivy strikes resembling the ceaseless gushes of spring water. It is said to be able to stop the flow of a river.

| colspan="2" | The Hearthflame Mask is mainly red and orange in color, and sports a fierce expression. Its whole shape and profile is flame-like, with a protruding brow of swirling flames and a bright orange mane bordering most of the mask. Its mouth and nose are bright blue, and it has two sharply pointed fangs jutting from its lower jaw. It has a Tera crystal on its forehead that is vaguely shaped like a four-pointed star, and its eyes are also Tera crystals, with simple black pupils and a small amount of black coloration between the eyes and nose.

When Terastallized, bright-orange flames erupt from behind the edges of the mask, the Terastal symbol appears in its forehead crystal, its eyes are surrounded by more black coloration, two sharp crystal horns protrude from its forehead, and its mouth opens up wide as if bellowing in rage.

The Hearthflame Mask draws upon the power of fire; while wearing it, Ogerpon's Tera Type is always {{t|Fire}}. True to the mask's expression, Ogerpon becomes more aggressive while wearing it, mercilessly spearing its enemies with thorny ivy and bombarding them with the intensity of a hearth's fire. It is said to be capable of rousing a candle's flame into a raging inferno.

| colspan="2" | The Cornerstone Mask is mostly gray in color, and sports a crazed expression. It has a craggy profile, with uneven extensions towards the top of the mask. Its mouth prominently juts out, and it has three flat Tera crystal teeth between two large, black, blunt-tipped fangs that curve upward. Its eyes are yellow with Tera crystals for pupils, it has a small, flat nose just over its mouth, and it has a bright-blue feature that begins behind its nose and curves upward beneath its eyes, forming a strange sort of moustache.

When Terastallized, strands of diamond-shaped black hair extend from the sides of the mask, the Terastal symbol appears in its right pupil, two craggy crystal horns protrude from its forehead, and its mouth opens up even more.

The Cornerstone Mask draws upon the power of stone; while wearing it, Ogerpon's Tera Type is always {{t|Rock}}. Ogerpon's defense brims with the solidarity of the cornerstones that support houses; its body becomes rock-solid and easily absorbs impacts, protecting it from all manner of attacks. It is said to be able to break even the hardest stone in two.

===Side game data===


===Form data===
Ogerpon has eight forms, with one standard form, and one unique [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallized form]] corresponding to each of its four masks: the Teal Mask, Wellspring Mask, Hearthflame Mask, and Cornerstone Mask.

When Terastallized, it changes into a special form unique to each mask, that causes the mask to transform, gain ogresque crystal horns, float in front of Ogerpon, and grow in size.
(Refer to [[#Forms|Forms]] section for images of the Terastallized state forms.)

When not holding an item, Ogerpon is always in its standard [[Teal Mask]] form. Ogerpon can change into the [[Wellspring Mask]], [[Hearthflame Mask]], and [[Cornerstone Mask]] standard forms when holding the respective masks of the same names. Each of Ogerpon's other three mask forms has a different secondary [[type]]; Ogerpon's [[signature move]] {{m|Ivy Cudgel}} changes type to match this secondary type.

==Trivia==
* Ogerpon is the only Pokémon whose [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera Type]] cannot be changed under normal circumstances in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. Even if [[Cheating|the game is modified]] to force Ogerpon to have a different Tera Type, the game will {{DL|Game freeze|Softlocking|softlock}} upon trying to Terastallize, forcing the player to restart the console.
** This also makes it only Pokémon incapable of being {{type|Stellar}}.

===Origin===
Ogerpon is based on 鬼 ''{{wp|oni}}'', creatures from Japanese folklore that often are referred to as demons or ogres in English. In particular, it may be based off the oni who live on Onigashima from the story of ''{{wp|Momotarō}}''. Given that the Land of Kitakami is inspired by {{wp|Tōhoku region|Northeast Japan}}, it may also be based off Akuro-ō, the Oni in the local {{jwp|坂上田村麻呂伝説|legend}}s of {{wp|Sakanoue no Tamuramaro}}. Its cudgel appears to be based on a {{wp|kanabō}}, a type of club often wielded by oni in myths.

The overall design of Ogerpon may draw inspiration from local festivals and folktales about ''oni'' in Northeast Japan. It may also be inspired by Onikenbai, or {{wp|Devil's Sword Dance}}, a traditional Buddhist ritual dance and {{wp|Kitakami Michinoku Traditional Dance Festival|festival}} from the real-life city named {{wp|Kitakami, Iwate|Kitakami}} in {{wp|Iwate Prefecture}}. Another inspiration may be {{wp|Namahage}} from {{wp|Akita Prefecture}}, where performers in ''oni'' masks and ''{{wp|Mino (straw cape)|mino}}'' received {{wp|Mochi}} from households in the 20th century but nowadays give away Mochi. This also ties to the [[Ogre Oustin']] minigame and the [[Mochi]] which can be gotten there. The Terastallized states of Ogerpon may be inspired by ''Nebuta'' floats of the {{wp|Aomori Nebuta Matsuri|Aomori Nebuta Festival}} from {{wp|Aomori Prefecture}}, which feature large {{wp|papier-mâché}} half statues of mythical or historical figures with exaggerated facial expression. The four masks may also have local inspiration from the Tōhoku region. The leaves on the Teal Mask may be inspired by the 丸に笹竜胆 ''maru-ni sasarindō'' {{wp|Mon (emblem)|mon}} on the attire of Kitakami Onikenbai. The [[Wellspring Mask]] may draw inspiration from the folktale of {{wp|Lake Tazawa}} and Tatsuko, where a maiden longing for eternal beauty is turned into a dragon and dives into the lake with much regret after parting with her mother and fellow villager. The item in the plot of [[The Teal Mask]] was brought by {{p|Munkidori}} to [[Six Wonders of Kitakami|Wisteria Pond]], [[PKWorld#Kitakami|Pokémon world's equivalent]] of Lake Tazawa. The association of ''oni'' and the [[Hearthflame Mask|hearth]] may be inspired by a local legend of {{wp|Watanabe no Tsuna}} in {{wp|Shibata District, Miyagi|Ubagafutokoro}}, {{wp|Miyagi Prefecture}}, where {{wp|Ibaraki-dōji|the demon of Ichijō Modorihashi}} retrieved its severed limb from the residence of the hero and escaped along the pothook (''jizaikagi'') of the {{wp|irori}}. The [[Cornerstone Mask]] could be based on {{wp|Onigawara}}, roof ornamentations with the face of an Oni. Early examples of Onigawara with Oni face have been excavated from the {{wp|Isawa Castle|Isawa Castle site}} in Iwate.

The four masks worn by Ogerpon appear to be based on masks used in the {{wp|Nōgaku}} theatre, including {{wp|Noh}} and {{wp|Kyōgen}}, with strong ties to Buddhist and Shinto rituals. Together they may represent joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness (fulfilment) - the four moods of East Asian theatre from the {{wp|Confucianism|Confucian}} {{wp|Book of Rites}}; known as 喜怒哀楽 ''kidoairaku'' in Japanese. Specifically, the Teal Mask resembles the 翁面 ''okina-men'', a genre of masks that represents old men with a smiling or grinning face commonly used in {{jwp|式三番|Shiki-sanba}} performances at temples and shrines. The [[Wellspring Mask]] resembles the 女面 ''onna-men'', masks of female characters that usually depict a sorrowful or weeping face; and in its Terastallized state, the 生成 ''namanari'' mask, ''oni'' masks with short horns and a painful face, but less fierce than the more iconic ''{{wp|hannya}}'' mask. Ogerpon's Terastallization in this state may be inspired by the transformation of sorrowful, vengful, or envious women into {{wp|onryō}}, a common trope of the Noh theatre. The [[Hearthflame Mask]] resembles several genres of furious 鬼面 ''oni-men'', such as the 顰 ''shikami'' ("lion's frowning gaze") or the 獅子口 ''shishi-guchi'' ("lion's maw"). This is further evidenced by the mane-like flames around the mask in its Terastallized state. The [[Cornerstone Mask]] resembles the now-rare 仏面 ''butsu-men'' genre of Noh masks, including 天神 ''{{wp|Kami|Tenshin}}'' and 不動 ''{{wp|Acala|Fudō}}'', used to depict resolute and powerful deities who facilitate unworldly achievements or bring forth {{wp|Vipāka}}. The fact that it has four masks could be inspired by the {{jwp|藤原千方の四鬼|four Oni summoned by Fujiwara no Chikata}}, a feudal lord who plotted high treason with the help of demons in a legend passed down in {{wp|Mie Prefecture}} and {{wp|Iwate Prefecture}}.

Ogerpon's plant-based body and orange fruit-like face may be based on a {{wp|citrus}} shrub, like its name suggests. Its face specifically resembles ''{{wp|dekopon}}'', a hybrid between ''{{wp|ponkan}}'' and ''{{wp|kiyomi}}''. It also appears to be based on {{wp|Hedera|ivy}}, although its thorny appearance is more similar to plants like {{wp|Rubus|bramble bush}}es. Its green face in its shiny coloration makes it resemble that of an unripe {{wp|orange (fruit)|orange}} or dekopon, which are typically a shade of green rather than the usual orange color.

====Name origin====
Ogerpon may be derived from ''{{wp|ogre}}'' and ''{{wp|ponkan}}'' or ''{{wp|dekopon}}'' (varieties of orange), as well as {{j|～ぽん}} ''-pon'', a cutesy suffix applied to names as a form of endearment.

==In the core series games==
===History===
{{spoilers}}
There is a lot of mystery surrounding the Terastal phenomenon and why it only happens in Paldea. [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} was known to be researching this mysterious transformation.<ref name=Terastal/> It is later revealed that the Terastal phenomenon also occurs in [[Kitakami]].

The Terastal phenomenon was first discovered 140 years ago in [[Area Zero]] along with Terastallized Pokémon at the bottom of the [[Great Crater of Paldea]]. However, attempts to remove Terastallized Pokémon from the crater caused the light to disappear. Further details of the Terastal phenomenon thus remained unclear for a while.

Ten years before the events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the game's professor began investigating the phenomenon, and discovered that the energy emitted from shining crystals in Area Zero is what triggers it. The [[Tera Orb]]s were then created by the professor from the Terastal energy located in Area Zero, with support from [[Clavell|Director Clavell]]. This allowed people to Terastallize their Pokémon outside of Area Zero. The Tera Orb was then shared to the [[Paldea League]] and [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}.

At some point, the Terastal energy was used by the professor to create a time machine, bringing in [[Paradox Pokémon]] from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}, including a pair of {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}.

The crystalline petals of {{p|Glimmora}} seem to resemble the Tera Jewels that appear during the Terastal phenomenon. It is unknown if there is a connection between Glimmora and the Terastal phenomenon, though many of them (along with its pre-evolution, {{p|Glimmet}}) can be found in Area Zero, the place where the phenomenon originated. Additionally, eight [[TM Material|Glimmet Crystal]]s are needed to make {{TM|171|Tera Blast}}, a move that changes type upon Terastallizing.

The [[Scarlet Book]]/[[Violet Book]] makes cryptic hints that it may be linked to an unknown Pokémon resembling a disk made of layers of overlapping hexagons, but the truth of this has yet to be confirmed. [[Area Zero journals|A journal in Research Station No. 1]] further implies its existence and relationship to the phenomenon. The journal reads:
<blockquote>"We've determined that this energy crystallization is linked to the being we call ▊▊▊▊▊▊. The interlocking hexagonal plates that comprise ▊▊▊▊▊▊'s shell must somehow cause this phenomenon—which I've dubbed 'Terastallizing.'"</blockquote> This Pokémon is ultimately confirmed to be {{p|Terapagos}}. A nineteenth Tera Type, the {{t|Stellar}} type, was later discovered and named by Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Professor Turo{{sup/9|V}}.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/new_tera_type/</ref>
{{endspoilers}}

===Effects===
[[File:Tera jewel concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Concept art of Fire-type and Water-type Tera Jewels from {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}]]
{{pkmn|Trainer}}s who obtain a [[Tera Orb]] are able to use it to Terastallize their Pokémon, which makes a Tera Jewel appear above the Pokémon's head and causes the Pokémon's body to glisten like polished, faceted gemstones. This changes the Pokémon's defensive [[type]](s) to its Tera Type, removing all other types. Terastallized Pokémon are identified by having "Tera" in front of their name.

While Terastallized, Pokémon receive [[STAB]] on moves matching their Tera Type, in addition to moves matching the types they had immediately before Terastallizing. If the Pokémon's Tera Type is the same as one of its original types, moves of that type receive a ×2 power boost instead of the usual ×1.5.<ref name=Terastal/>

During this time, {{a|Adaptability}} works only for the Tera Type (with ×1.5 becoming ×2, and ×2 becoming ×2.25). Additionally, moves of the Tera Type that have [[base power]] below 60 but are not a [[multi-strike move]] or an increased [[priority]] move are stealthily boosted to 60BP; this is checked for after {{a|Technician}}'s boost.<ref>https://twitter.com/skittyve/status/1599911349764571137</ref> Pokémon can only have one Tera Type. The move {{m|Tera Blast}} changes type to the Pokémon's innate Tera Type upon Terastallizing.<ref>(August 21, 2022). "[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/master_terastal/ Master Using the Terastal Phenomenon in Battle!]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website</ref>

Terastallized Pokémon cannot have their type changed from moves and Abilities such as {{m|Soak}}, {{m|Double Shock}}, {{a|Protean}}, or {{m|Transform}}. A Pokémon using {{m|Transform}} before Terastallizing will not copy its opponent's Tera Type and will instead keep its own.

The Terastal phenomenon lasts until the battle ends or the Terastallized Pokémon faints. After being used once, the Tera Orb loses all its Terastal energy and has to be recharged by either touching crystals containing Terastal energy or by visiting a [[Pokémon Center]].<ref name=Terastal/> An exception to this can be found in Area Zero, where the Tera Orb will automatically recharge at the end of each battle after it is used.

After beating the [[Medali Gym]], the player can change their Pokémon's Tera Type at the [[Medali|Treasure Eatery]] by exchanging 50 [[Tera Shard]]s of a given type with the chef.

The Terastal phenomenon is only found in [[Paldea]], apparently due to the Terastal energy seeping from the ground of the region,<ref name=Terastal>(August 3, 2022). "[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/terastal_phenomenon/ Pokémon Shine and Glimmer Like Gems Thanks to the Terastal Phenomenon]." Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website</ref> as well as [[Kitakami]].

===Catching Tera Pokémon===
Normal wild Pokémon found in Paldea typically have a Tera Type that matches one of their normal types. This Tera Type does not reflect their potential evolutions and cannot be passed down through {{pkmn|breeding}}. For example, a {{p|Charcadet}} will always have a {{t|Fire}} Tera Type. Typically, there are only two ways to obtain a wild Tera Pokémon with unique typing: either catch a wild Tera Pokémon scattered around Paldea, or participate in a [[Tera Raid Battle]]. These Pokémon may know [[TM]] [[move]]s that match this set Tera Type.

====Wild Tera Pokémon====
There are 68 wild Tera Pokémon scattered around Paldea, the majority with unique Tera Types. They can be found in fixed locations and typically have Tera Types different from their base types, a notable exception being the eight [[Eeveelution]]s, who have Tera Types that match their base types, and would normally have a {{t|Normal}} Tera Type if [[evolution|evolved]] from {{p|Eevee}}. The wild Tera Pokémon are indicated by a bright glow emitting from their bodies, and when battled against will immediately Terastallize. Wild Tera Pokémon cannot be caught while Terastallized until after they lose their Tera Jewel, which will happen after sustaining a certain amount of damage from direct attacks. Once this threshold is reached, the damage the Pokémon has taken will be capped until they lose their Tera Jewel, even from [[multi-strike move]]s.

Wild Tera Pokémon will eventually respawn after being caught or defeated and will always have a perfect 31 in at least three of their [[individual value|IVs]].

====Tera Raid Battle====
[[Tera Raid Battle]]s occur all over Paldea, with the locations changing at random each real-life day at midnight. These locations are indicated on the map, and in the overworld are indicated by a large, colored "shining crystal", with a beam of sparkling lights shooting into the sky.

===Special Terastallized state===
Some Pokémon species have a special '''Terastallized state''', which changes their appearance significantly when Terastallizing, instead of simply gaining their Tera Type's jewel.

Currently, {{p|Ogerpon}} is the only Pokémon known to have special Terastallized states, as well as the only who cannot otherwise change its Tera Type. This also makes it the only Pokémon incapable of being {{type|Stellar}}.

The Terastal phenomenon debuted in [[HZ010]], where [[Brassius]] Terastallized his {{p|Sudowoodo}} into a {{t|Grass}} [[type]] during his battle with [[Roy]]. After the battle, [[Nemona]] explained how the phenomenon works to [[Liko]] and Roy. Unlike in the games, Terastallization is possible in regions not related to Paldea, as shown in [[HZ025]].

In [[HZ014]], [[Friede]] Terastallized his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} into a {{t|Dark}} type for the first time during his fight against [[Spinel]]'s {{p|Magneton}} and {{p|Beheeyem}}.

Terastallized Pokémon were first introduced in the English {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Scarlet ex}} and {{TCG|Violet ex}} expansions) as {{TCG|Pokémon ex}} cards. These Pokémon are known as '''Tera''' (Japanese: '''テラスタル''' ''Terastal'') Pokémon. While on the Bench, Tera Pokémon do not receive any damage from attacks done by either player.

Some Tera Pokémon ex can have types that differ from their usual types. These so-called type-shifted Tera Pokémon ex use the same Energy as their usual type for attacks; however, they have a different Weakness that corresponds with their shifted type.

'''Terapagos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テラパゴス''' ''Terapagos'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]], with [[The Indigo Disk]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Terapagos has {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Terapagos|3 forms}}: ''' Normal Form''', '''Terastal Form''' and '''Stellar Form'''.

Terastal Form Terapagos is the [[game mascot]] of [[The Indigo Disk]], appearing in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]].

{{an|Terapagos}} plays an important role in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.

==Biology==
Normal Form Terapagos is a small, {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a dark blue {{wp|Testudines|turtle}}. The body is light-blue with a shell shaped like a crystal with a white hexagon on top of it. The neck and legs each have a green star and ring rub. Each foot has three toes. It has a blue tail with a green star at the end. It has two light blue eyes with rouge rimming. It has a diamond shape on its forehead and two ear-like diamonds on both sides of its head. Finally, it has a green diamond ponytail with light and dark purple at the end.

Normal Form Terapagos is said to have a splendid aura. It is a small and weak Pokémon, but when necessary, it can crystallize the energy in its body to form a protective shield. It is also capable of assuming a dormant state when it feels that its life is in danger, pulling its head, limbs, and tail into its shell and shrinking in size which makes itself look like a jewel<ref>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/area_zero_mystery/ Introducing a Newly Discovered Pokémon!]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website.</ref>. In the anime, this species possesses a very long lifespan; [[Terapagos (anime)|one individual]] is confirmed to have been alive for hundreds of years. Terapagos has the ability to take on multiple distinct appearances<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/terapagos/</ref>. [[Heath]] is the one who coined Terapagos's name.<ref>[[Heath]]: ''"While separated from the research team in the crater's depths, I found a strange...entity. [...] I have tentatively named this creature Terapagos. [...]"'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}})</ref>

===Forms===
Terapagos has three forms: Normal Form, Terastal Form, and Stellar Form. Terapagos can fly in all of its forms.

Normal Form Terapagos is a small reptilian Pokémon similar to a turtle. It has an indigo body, light blue eyes and a bluish-green shell it can retract its limbs into when threatened.

Terastal Form Terapagos is a reptilian Pokémon that resembles a light-blue turtle. Terapagos has two light blue eyes with rouge rimming, while the rest of its head is a deeper shade of indigo. Its head is also decorated with small diamond protrusions, with two on top of its head and two more on either side. It has two small hands with 3 fingers each that barely poke out of its fur. Its fur is voluminous, its color varying with a gradient between a greenish yellow and sky blue. A second patch of fur also appears behind its shell, vaguely forming three separate tails.

Terapagos's shell is made out of crystal, with 18 irregular pentagons on top decorated with differently colored symbols that resemble all 18 [[Type#Icons|type icons]]. On the center of its shell is a small hexagonal protrusion, with a white hexagon on top of it with triangular extensions on each corner that connects it to the edges of the protrusion, slightly resembling the icon for the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. The sides of its shell also have three obtuse pentagons each on the rim of the shell; however, these are a solid light blue color.

Stellar Form Terapagos emanates an energy field similar to a dome beneath itself, surrounded by crystals bearing each of the type icons with their respective colors. The rest of its body takes on a rainbow-like hue, and its central crystal grows into a crown-like structure, topped with a miniature version of its standard form and the icon for the Terastal Phenomenon floating above it.

The [[Area Zero journals]] and the [[Scarlet Book]]/[[Violet Book]] describe it throughout the book, the text implying that this Pokémon is responsible for, or at least heavily related to, the Terastal phenomenon.

==Trivia==
[[File:Disc Pokémon.png|200px|thumb|Terapagos Sketch in the Scarlet/Violet Books]]
* Before the official reveal of Terapagos, a sketch of it appeared in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
* In the closed captions of the initial [[TV Tokyo]] broadcast of [[HZ023]], Terapagos was mistakenly referred to as コダイカメ ''Kodaikame'' (literally "ancient turtle").<ref>[https://twitter.com/DogasusBackpack/status/1705193807460098511 The closed captions for tonight’s #anipoke episode confirm that the Pokémon inside Liko’s pendant is named Kodaikame (コダイカメ). - @DogasusBackpack on Twitter]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1705215549121396945 本日のアニメ『ポケットモンスター』字幕放送にて、ポケモン・テラパゴスの名称を、正式ではない表記をしておりました。正式な表記は「テラパゴス」です。 - @anipoke_PR on Twitter]</ref>

===Origin===
Terapagos may be based on a {{wp|sea turtle}}, specifically the {{wp|Green sea turtle#Galápagos green turtle|Galápagos green turtle}}, a population of green sea turtles found around the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}. It may also be based on the {{wp|Galápagos tortoise}}.

Terapagos may also reference the {{wp|World Turtle}}, a mythical turtle found in various mythologies that was said to carry the world upon its back. Its hairy appearance may be a reference to Japanese legends of the ''{{wp|Cultural depictions of turtles#Japan|minogame}}'', a turtle which lived for 10,000 years and grew a tail made of {{wp|seaweed}}.

The tessellation on Terapagos's shell contains type icons. It could also be based on the unique pattern on the back of the {{wp|diamondback terrapin}}.

It may also take inspiration from {{wp|chitons}}, marine mollusks with flat disk-shaped bodies and eye-like peripherals composed of rock.

====Name origin====
Terapagos may be a combination of ''[[Terastal phenomenon|Terastal]]'', ''{{wp|terrapin}}'', and ''galápagos'' (a Spanish word for turtles, most recognizable because of the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}).

There is a lot of mystery surrounding the Terastal phenomenon and why it only happens in Paldea. [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} was known to be researching this mysterious transformation.<ref name=Terastal/> It is later revealed that the Terastal phenomenon also occurs in [[Kitakami]].

The Terastal phenomenon was first discovered 140 years ago in [[Area Zero]] along with Terastallized Pokémon at the bottom of the [[Great Crater of Paldea]]. However, attempts to remove Terastallized Pokémon from the crater caused the light to disappear. Further details of the Terastal phenomenon thus remained unclear for a while.

Ten years before the events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the game's professor began investigating the phenomenon, and discovered that the energy emitted from shining crystals in Area Zero is what triggers it. The [[Tera Orb]]s were then created by the professor from the Terastal energy located in Area Zero, with support from [[Clavell|Director Clavell]]. This allowed people to Terastallize their Pokémon outside of Area Zero. The Tera Orb was then shared to the [[Paldea League]] and [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}.

At some point, the Terastal energy was used by the professor to create a time machine, bringing in [[Paradox Pokémon]] from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}, including a pair of {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}.

The crystalline petals of {{p|Glimmora}} seem to resemble the Tera Jewels that appear during the Terastal phenomenon. It is unknown if there is a connection between Glimmora and the Terastal phenomenon, though many of them (along with its pre-evolution, {{p|Glimmet}}) can be found in Area Zero, the place where the phenomenon originated. Additionally, eight [[TM Material|Glimmet Crystal]]s are needed to make {{TM|171|Tera Blast}}, a move that changes type upon Terastallizing.

The [[Scarlet Book]]/[[Violet Book]] makes cryptic hints that it may be linked to an unknown Pokémon resembling a disk made of layers of overlapping hexagons, but the truth of this has yet to be confirmed. [[Area Zero journals|A journal in Research Station No. 1]] further implies its existence and relationship to the phenomenon. The journal reads:
<blockquote>"We've determined that this energy crystallization is linked to the being we call ▊▊▊▊▊▊. The interlocking hexagonal plates that comprise ▊▊▊▊▊▊'s shell must somehow cause this phenomenon—which I've dubbed 'Terastallizing.'"</blockquote> This Pokémon is revealed to be {{p|Terapagos}}, based on its description. A nineteenth Tera Type, the {{t|Stellar}} type, was later discovered.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/new_tera_type/</ref>

{{pkmn|Trainer}}s who obtain a [[Tera Orb]] are able to use it to Terastallize their Pokémon, which makes a Tera Jewel appear above the Pokémon's head and causes the Pokémon's body to glisten like polished, faceted gemstones. This changes the Pokémon's defensive [[type]](s) to its Tera Type, removing all other types. Terastallized Pokémon are identified by having "Tera" in front of their name.

While Terastallized, Pokémon receive [[STAB]] on moves matching their Tera Type, in addition to moves matching the types they had immediately before Terastallizing. If the Pokémon's Tera Type is the same as one of its original types, moves of that type receive a ×2 power boost instead of the usual ×1.5.<ref name=Terastal/>

During this time, {{a|Adaptability}} works only for the Tera Type (with ×1.5 becoming ×2, and ×2 becoming ×2.25). Additionally, moves of the Tera Type that have [[base power]] below 60 but are not a [[multi-strike move]] or an increased [[priority]] move are stealthily boosted to 60BP; this is checked for after {{a|Technician}}'s boost.<ref>https://twitter.com/skittyve/status/1599911349764571137</ref> Pokémon can only have one Tera Type.

"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/master_terastal/ Master Using the Terastal Phenomenon in Battle!]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website</ref>

Terastallized Pokémon cannot have their type changed from moves and Abilities such as {{m|Soak}}, {{m|Double Shock}}, {{a|Protean}}, or {{m|Transform}}. A Pokémon using {{m|Transform}} before Terastallizing will not copy its opponent's Tera Type and will instead keep its own.

The Terastal phenomenon lasts until the battle ends or the Terastallized Pokémon faints. After being used once, the Tera Orb loses all its Terastal energy and has to be recharged by either touching crystals containing Terastal energy or by visiting a [[Pokémon Center]].<ref name=Terastal/> An exception to this can be found in Area Zero, where the Tera Orb will automatically recharge at the end of each battle after it is used.

After beating the [[Medali Gym]], the player can change their Pokémon's Tera Type at the [[Medali|Treasure Eatery]] by exchanging 50 [[Tera Shard]]s of a given type with the chef.

The Terastal phenomenon is only found in [[Paldea]], apparently due to the Terastal energy seeping from the ground of the region,<ref name=Terastal>(August 3, 2022). "[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/terastal_phenomenon/ Pokémon Shine and Glimmer Like Gems Thanks to the Terastal Phenomenon]." Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website</ref> as well as [[Kitakami]].

===Catching Tera Pokémon===
Normal wild Pokémon found in Paldea typically have a Tera Type that matches one of their normal types. This Tera Type does not reflect their potential evolutions and cannot be passed down through {{pkmn|breeding}}. For example, a {{p|Charcadet}} will always have a {{t|Fire}} Tera Type. Typically, there are only two ways to obtain a wild Tera Pokémon with unique typing: either catch a wild Tera Pokémon scattered around Paldea, or participate in a [[Tera Raid Battle]]. These Pokémon may know [[TM]] [[move]]s that match this set Tera Type.

====Wild Tera Pokémon====
There are 68 wild Tera Pokémon scattered around Paldea, the majority with unique Tera Types. They can be found in fixed locations and typically have Tera Types different from their base types, a notable exception being the eight [[Eeveelution]]s, who have Tera Types that match their base types, and would normally have a {{t|Normal}} Tera Type if [[evolution|evolved]] from {{p|Eevee}}. The wild Tera Pokémon are indicated by a bright glow emitting from their bodies, and when battled against will immediately Terastallize. Wild Tera Pokémon cannot be caught while Terastallized until after they lose their Tera Jewel, which will happen after sustaining a certain amount of damage from direct attacks. Once this threshold is reached, the damage the Pokémon has taken will be capped until they lose their Tera Jewel, even from [[multi-strike move]]s.

Wild Tera Pokémon will eventually respawn after being caught or defeated and will always have a perfect 31 in at least three of their [[individual value|IVs]].

====Tera Raid Battle====
[[Tera Raid Battle]]s occur all over Paldea, with the locations changing at random each real-life day at midnight. These locations are indicated on the map, and in the overworld are indicated by a large, colored "shining crystal", with a beam of sparkling lights shooting into the sky.

===Special Terastallized state===
Some Pokémon species have a special '''Terastallized state''', which changes their appearance significantly when Terastallizing, instead of simply gaining their Tera Type's jewel.

Currently, {{p|Ogerpon}} is the only Pokémon known to have special Terastallized states, as well as the only who cannot otherwise change its Tera Type.

The Terastal phenomenon debuted in [[HZ010]], where [[Brassius]] Terastallized his {{p|Sudowoodo}} into a {{t|Grass}} [[type]] during his battle with [[Roy]]. After the battle, [[Nemona]] explained how the phenomenon works to [[Liko]] and Roy. Unlike in the games, Terastallization is possible in regions not related to Paldea, as shown in [[HZ025]].

In [[HZ014]], [[Friede]] Terastallized his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} into a {{t|Dark}} type for the first time during his fight against [[Spinel]]'s {{p|Magneton}} and {{p|Beheeyem}}.

Terastallized Pokémon were first introduced in the English {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Scarlet ex}} and {{TCG|Violet ex}} expansions) as {{TCG|Pokémon ex}} cards. These Pokémon are known as '''Tera''' (Japanese: '''テラスタル''' ''Terastal'') Pokémon. While on the Bench, Tera Pokémon do not receive any damage from attacks done by either player.

Some Tera Pokémon ex can have types that differ from their usual types. These so-called type-shifted Tera Pokémon ex use the same Energy as their usual type for attacks; however, they have a different Weakness that corresponds with their shifted type.

This Tera Type does not reflect their potential evolutions and cannot be passed down through {{pkmn|breeding}}. For example, a {{p|Charcadet}} will always have a {{t|Fire}} Tera Type. Typically, there are only two ways to obtain a wild Tera Pokémon with unique typing: either catch a wild Tera Pokémon scattered around Paldea, or participate in a [[Tera Raid Battle]]. These Pokémon may know [[TM]] [[move]]s that match this set Tera Type.

====Wild Tera Pokémon====
There are 68 wild Tera Pokémon scattered around Paldea, the majority with unique Tera Types. They can be found in fixed locations and typically have Tera Types different from their base types, a notable exception being the eight [[Eeveelution]]s, who have Tera Types that match their base types, and would normally have a {{t|Normal}} Tera Type if [[evolution|evolved]] from {{p|Eevee}}. The wild Tera Pokémon are indicated by a bright glow emitting from their bodies, and when battled against will immediately Terastallize. Wild Tera Pokémon cannot be caught while Terastallized until after they lose their Tera Jewel, which will happen after sustaining a certain amount of damage from direct attacks. Once this threshold is reached, the damage the Pokémon has taken will be capped until they lose their Tera Jewel, even from [[multi-strike move]]s.

Wild Tera Pokémon will eventually respawn after being caught or defeated and will always have a perfect 31 in at least three of their [[individual value|IVs]].

====Tera Raid Battle====
[[Tera Raid Battle]]s occur all over Paldea, with the locations changing at random each real-life day at midnight. These locations are indicated on the map, and in the overworld are indicated by a large, colored "shining crystal", with a beam of sparkling lights shooting into the sky.

===Special Terastallized state===
Some Pokémon species have a special '''Terastallized state''', which changes their appearance significantly when Terastallizing, instead of simply gaining their Tera Type's jewel.

Currently, {{p|Ogerpon}} is the only Pokémon known to have special Terastallized states, as well as the only who cannot otherwise change its Tera Type.

The Terastal phenomenon debuted in [[HZ010]], where [[Brassius]] Terastallized his {{p|Sudowoodo}} into a {{t|Grass}} [[type]] during his battle with [[Roy]]. After the battle, [[Nemona]] explained how the phenomenon works to [[Liko]] and Roy. Unlike in the games, Terastallization is possible in regions not related to Paldea, as shown in [[HZ025]].

In [[HZ014]], [[Friede]] Terastallized his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} into a {{t|Dark}} type for the first time during his fight against [[Spinel]]'s {{p|Magneton}} and {{p|Beheeyem}}.

Terastallized Pokémon were first introduced in the English {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Scarlet ex}} and {{TCG|Violet ex}} expansions) as {{TCG|Pokémon ex}} cards. These Pokémon are known as '''Tera''' (Japanese: '''テラスタル''' ''Terastal'') Pokémon. While on the Bench, Tera Pokémon do not receive any damage from attacks done by either player.

Some Tera Pokémon ex can have types that differ from their usual types. These so-called type-shifted Tera Pokémon ex use the same Energy as their usual type for attacks; however, they have a different Weakness that corresponds with their shifted type.

==Trivia==
* If the {{player}} chooses {{p|Fuecoco}}, no [[NPC]] {{pkmn|Trainer}} in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} Terastallizes their Pokémon into the {{t|Fire}} type.

{{samename|property of a Pokémon called type in [[The Official Pokémon Handbook]]|Pokémon category}}
----
{{Types|diamond|* 1}}
'''Types''' (Japanese: '''タイプ''' ''Type'') are properties applied to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and their [[move]]s, which affect the power of moves in [[Pokémon battle|battle]]s. As of [[Generation IX]], there are 19 types, with 18 regular types and the special {{t|Stellar}} type. Most of the types were introduced during [[Generation I]], but the {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Steel}} types were introduced in [[Generation II]], the {{t|Fairy}} type was introduced in Generation VI, and the {{t|Stellar}} type was introduced in [[Generation IX]]. A unique {{t|???}} type also existed from Generations II to {{gen|IV}}. The types are largely based on the concept of classical elements in popular culture.

==Terminology==
In Generation I, types were occasionally referred to as '''elements'''.

In the [[Pokémon Trivia Challenge]] minigame from [[Pokémon Masters Arena]], this was sometimes written as '''Type''' starting with a capital letter. For instance:
* ''"Which of the following Pokémon is the same '''Type''' as {{p|Marshtomp}}?"''

==Summary==
A Pokémon may have either one or two types. For instance, {{p|Charmander}} is a {{t|Fire}} type, while {{p|Bulbasaur}} is both a {{t|Grass}} type and a {{t|Poison}} type. Pokémon with two types are known as dual-type Pokémon. With this system and there currently being 18 types, there is a total of 324 possible ways to assign types to Pokémon, with 171 unique [[List of type combinations by abundance|combinations]], 162 of which have been used as of [[Generation IX]]. Similarly to Pokémon, [[Pokéstar Studios opponents]] also have types.

All moves have exactly one type each. The type of a damaging move typically determines which types of Pokémon it is super effective against, which types of Pokémon it is not very effective against, and which types of Pokémon it is completely ineffective against (with [[: Category:Moves that have special type effectiveness properties|very few exceptions]]). If the type of a move matches one of the types of the Pokémon using it, it gains a [[Same-type attack bonus|boost in power]].

Most [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members, [[Trial Captain]]s, and [[island kahuna]]s have a [[Type expert|type-specific theme]].

The {{t|Stellar}} type is a special case, as no Pokémon or moves naturally bear it. However, a Pokémon can [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallize]] into the Stellar type, which can also change {{m|Tera Blast}} into the type as well.

==Type effectiveness==
[[File:Sylveon vs Hydreigon.png|200px|thumb|{{p|Sylveon}} using {{m|Moonblast}}, a super effective move, on {{p|Hydreigon}}]]
:''"Super effective" redirects here. For the webcomic, see [[Super Effective (webcomic)]].''
:''"It's super effective" redirects here. For the podcast, see [[It's Super Effective (podcast)]].''
:''"Weakness" and "Resistance" redirect here. For the TCG mechanics, see [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Weakness|Appendix:Glossary (TCG) → Weakness]]'' and ''[[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Resistance|Appendix:Glossary (TCG) → Resistance]].''

Damaging moves typically vary in '''effectiveness''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|効果|こうか}}''' ''effectiveness'') depending on the move's type and the type(s) of its target.

Type effectiveness greatly influences how much [[damage]] moves deal:
* If the type of a move is '''super effective''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|効果はバツグン|こうかはばつぐん}}''' ''super effective'') against a type of its target, the damage is doubled;
* If the type of a move is '''not very effective''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|効果は今一つ|こうかはいまひとつ}}''' ''not very effective'') against a type of its target, the damage is halved;
* If the type of a move '''has no effect''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|効果がない|こうかがない}}''' ''not effective'') against a type of its target, the target is completely immune to it, and the move will deal no damage.

For targets that have multiple types, the type effectiveness of a move is the product of its effectiveness against each of the types:
* If the type of a move is super effective against both of the opponent's types (such as a {{type|Ground}} move used against a {{2t|Steel|Rock}} Pokémon), then the move does 4 times (250% in Legends: Arceus) the damage.
* If the type of a move is not very effective against both of the opponent's types (such as a {{type|Fighting}} move used against a {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} Pokémon), then the move only does ¼ (40% in Legends: Arceus) of the damage.
* If the type of a move is super effective against one of the opponent's types but not very effective against the other (such as a {{type|Grass}} move used against a {{2t|Water|Flying}} Pokémon), then the move deals regular damage.
* If the type of move is completely ineffective against one of the opponent's types, then the move does no damage regardless of how the Pokémon’s other type would be affected (as in an {{type|Electric}} move used against a {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon).

[[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] uses a different calculation for type effectiveness against multiple types:
* If the type of a move is super effective against both of the opponent's types, then the move does 2.5 times the damage (instead of 4).
* If the type of a move is not very effective against both of the opponent's types, then the move does 0.4 times the damage (instead of 0.25).
* Type effectiveness multipliers remain the same otherwise.

The moves {{m|Flying Press}}, {{m|Freeze-Dry}}, and {{m|Thousand Arrows}} have custom interactions with defending types and do not strictly obey the type chart. {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, and {{m|Miracle Eye}} remove certain type immunities from their targets. {{type|Fire}} moves double in effectiveness against Pokémon affected by {{m|Tar Shot}}. {{cat|Moves that deal direct damage}} (including [[one-hit knockout move]]s) do not employ effectiveness, although since [[Generation II]] Pokémon are immune to them based on type interactions. Certain {{Abilities}}, [[held item]]s, or types of [[weather]] (such as {{a|Levitate}}, the [[Ring Target]], or [[strong winds]], respectively) may modify the effectiveness of specific types of moves.

[[Status move]]s typically do not employ type effectiveness; however, {{type|Ground}} Pokémon are immune to {{m|Thunder Wave}} based on type interactions, and {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon are immune to {{m|Glare}} based on type interactions in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}} only. Furthermore, status moves may be unable to affect Pokémon based on type-related interactions other than effectiveness; for example, {{type|Poison}} Pokémon cannot be afflicted with {{status|poison}} and are thus unaffected by {{m|Poison Gas}}.

Different sounds are played depending on the effectiveness of a move, with super effective attacks having a different sound from the normal hit, and not very effective attacks also having a distinct sound. Moves with no effect do not play a sound at all.

===Type chart===
:''For type charts from previous generations, see [[Type/Type chart]]''

A '''type chart''', also known as '''type matchup chart''', shows which modifiers are applied to [[move]] types when attacking {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of each type. If the defending Pokémon has two types, the two modifiers will be multiplied together: a {{type|Flying}} move would hit for 4× damage on a {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon, while a {{type|Ground}} move used against the same would do only a quarter of the regular damage. (A complete ineffectiveness against either type will make the move deal no damage, since 0 multiplied by any number is 0.)

The type chart differs depending on the [[generation]] of {{pkmn|games}} it is from. The type chart for [[Generation VI]] onward is shown below.

| colspan="20" style="{{roundybottom|5px}}; background:#999" | These matchups are suitable for {{color2|000|Generation VI}} onward.
|}

In [[Inverse Battle]]s, a different type chart is used that essentially inverts the regular type chart, turning immunities and resistances into weaknesses, and weaknesses into resistances.

===Dual-type damage misinformation glitch===
{{main|Dual-type damage misinformation}}
In [[Generation I]] only, if a damaging move is used on a Pokémon with two types such that one of its types is weak to the move and the other type resists the move, it will correctly receive neutral damage, but the incorrect message will be displayed on-screen. This does not occur in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.

==Type-affected game mechanics==
Prior to [[Generation IV]], the [[damage category|category]] of damaging moves only depends on the move's type (except for [[Shadow moves]]); for example, all {{type|Normal}} damaging moves are [[physical move]]s and all {{type|Water}} damaging moves are [[special move]]s. From [[Generation IV]] onward, each individual move has a [[damage category]] that is independent of its type.

When the type of a move matches one of the types of the Pokémon using it, the attack power will be increased by 50%. This is referred to as [[same-type attack bonus]], or STAB for short. As an example, an {{p|Aron}} that knows the {{type|Steel}} move {{m|Metal Claw}} will have the move's power increased by 50% because one of Aron's types is Steel; the power of {{m|Cut}} would not be increased as Normal is not one of Aron's types.

Some Pokémon types are immune to certain status moves or effects. For example, {{type|Grass}} Pokémon are immune to {{m|Leech Seed}}, and {{type|Ice}} Pokémon are not damaged by {{weather|Hail}}.

Some moves, field effects, {{Abilities}}, and [[held item]]s affect moves of a certain type. {{m|Sunny Day}}, for example, causes {{type|Fire}} moves to increase in power, while {{a|Levitate}} causes {{type|Ground}} moves to not work on the Pokémon with this Ability. Likewise, each type has a [[Type-enhancing item|specific held item]] that can be given to a Pokémon that will power up one of the specific types by 20% (or 10%, prior to Generation IV), such as the [[Metal Coat]] for {{type|Steel}} moves.

Some moves and Abilities can temporarily [[type change|change a Pokémon's type]] in battle. For example, the move {{m|Camouflage}} changes the user's type to a type corresponding to the battlefield terrain. Some type-changing Abilities include {{a|Color Change}}, {{a|Multitype}}, {{a|Protean}}, {{a|RKS System}}, and {{a|Libero}}.

Additionally, the type of {{cat|moves that change type|some moves}} may depend on the circumstances they are used in; for example, {{m|Weather Ball}} may be Fire-, Water-, Ice-, Rock-, or Normal-type depending on the [[weather]] it is used in. Additionally, there are {{cat|Abilities that can modify move types}} as well as exactly three moves: ({{m|Electrify}}, {{m|Ion Deluge}}, and {{m|Plasma Fists}}).

When a Pokémon has two types, those two types are always listed in an order specific to the Pokémon. This order is mostly aesthetic, but it affects {{m|Present}} in [[Generation II]] and {{m|Revelation Dance}}.

[[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallizing]] can change a Pokémon's type to any single type, which will also change the type of the move {{m|Tera Blast}}.

==??? type==
{{main|??? (type)}}
The ??? type is the only type to have been removed from the [[core series]] games. The ??? type only existed from [[Generation II]] to [[Generation IV]] and was primarily used in the core series as the type of the move {{m|Curse}}. It was removed in [[Generation V]], and Curse became a {{type|Ghost}} move. The ??? type deals and takes regular damage from all other types, though this is never seen in the core series due to no Pokémon nor damaging moves having the type.

==Shadow==
[[Shadow move]]s do not display any type on the [[summary]] or battle menus. In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], the only Shadow move deals regular damage against all Pokémon, while in {{Pokémon XD}}, they are super effective against non-[[Shadow Pokémon]] and not very effective against Shadow Pokémon.

==Typeless==
[[File:Struggle IV.png|frame|{{m|Struggle}}, a {{type|Normal}} move, dealing typeless damage to {{p|Gastly}}]]
There are situations where Pokémon or moves behave as if they were typeless, unable to receive {{STAB}} and boosts from [[type-enhancing item]]s or {{cat|type-enhancing Abilities|Abilities}}. This is most commonly possible through effects that make one lose a type, such as {{m|Burn Up}}, {{m|Roost}}, and {{m|Double Shock}}. Typeless Pokémon take regular damage from all moves, and typeless moves deal regular damage against all Pokémon.

{{m|Struggle}} acts typelessly from [[Generation II]] onward. The move {{m|Weather Ball}} acts typelessly under [[shadowy aura]], and the move {{m|Revelation Dance}} acts typelessly if used by a typeless user. {{m|Beat Up}}, {{m|Future Sight}}, and {{m|Doom Desire}} deal typeless damage before [[Generation V]].

Prior to [[Generation V]], typeless damage will ignore {{a|Wonder Guard}}. From Generation V onwards, typeless moves are blocked by Wonder Guard, with the exception of {{m|Struggle}}.

A typeless Pokémon has no types displayed on its battle summary.
{{-}}

==Glitch types==
{{main|Glitch type}}

The [[glitch type]]s are types which only appear through the use of glitches, such as on the types of [[glitch Pokémon]]. Most famously this includes the {{t|Bird}} type, which was intentionally programmed into the code of the Generation I and II games but was not given to any real Pokémon. Other glitch types are the result of the game reading other data as if it were types. Like the ??? type, all glitch types, except 'l) m) ZM, have no special effectiveness (they both inflict regular damage against all types and take regular damage from all types).

==Icons==
[[File:Diantha Champion Room.png|thumb|Type icons in [[Diantha]]'s Champion room]]
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, the [[core series]] games just used the type's name, with the only icons being in [[Pokémon Stadium series]] games.

In {{g|GO}}, icons were introduced to represent each of the types during gameplay. Very similar icons were later adopted into the core series, starting with [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] and then following up with the subsequent core series games and {{g|HOME}}.

Some unofficial icons associated with types appeared before. In {{g|X and Y}}, a different set of type icons were used as decorations for the floor of [[Diantha]]'s {{pkmn|Champion}} room. In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, each type was given a symbol placed on [[Z-Crystal]]s.

===Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu, Let's Go Eevee, Sword, and Shield===
These type icons were also used in {{g|HOME}} prior to the update for {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.

==In other games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{main|Damage modification (Mystery Dungeon)}}
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], the matchup multipliers are 0.5×, 0.9×, 1× and 1.5×. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the multipliers have been changed to 0.5×, 0.7×, 1× and 1.4×; if either the attacker or the defender has Erratic Player IQ skill, they are 0.25×, 0.5×, 1× and 1.7×, instead. Immunities provided from Abilities or moves, such as {{a|Levitate}} or {{m|Magnet Rise}}, are still 0×. Type matchups that would usually be immunities are instead announced as “It had little effect…”

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], moves that are ineffective in the core series are now ineffective as well (0× damage).

===Pokémon Ranger series===
In the [[Pokémon Ranger series]], each Pokémon has a group, equivalent to a type in the core series. The effectiveness of [[Poké Assist]]s on [[wild Pokémon]] is dependent on the Pokémon's group.

===Pokémon Rumble series===
In the [[Pokémon Rumble series]], the type effectiveness chart differs from the equivalent type chart in contemporaneous core series games. Moves that are ineffective in the core series deal 0.6× damage instead, moves that would be not very effective against one or both of the target's types deal ~0.8× or ~0.7× damage, respectively, and moves that would be super effective against one or both of the target's types deal ~1.2× and ~1.4× damage, respectively. 

===Pokémon Battrio===
{{main|Type (Battrio)}}
Pokémon in [[Pokémon Battrio]] all have one type in line with one of their types in the core games. Battrio also includes two unique types exclusively for {{p|Arceus}}, the Full Plate and Eleven-Plate types.

Pokémon Battrio's type effectiveness chart is also unique, with different possible strengths for weaknesses or resistances. For example, while Grass-type Pokémon are weak to both Ice- and Fire-type moves, they are weaker to Fire-type moves than to Ice-type moves.

Players with a [[Pokémon Battrio#Memory Keys|Memory Key]] can also gain experience towards different types that will level up their {{DL|Type (Battrio)|Type Levels}}, granting Pokémon of that type a bonus in Attack or HP.

===Pokémon Shuffle===
{{main|Pokémon Shuffle#Type|Pokémon Shuffle → Type}}
Pokémon in [[Pokémon Shuffle]] each only have one type. Pokémon Shuffle's type effectiveness chart is also slightly different than the contemporaneous Generation VI chart, with 0× effectivenesses turned into ½× effectiveness.

Type is also used to determine immunity to certain [[status condition#Pokémon Shuffle|status conditions]].

===Pokémon Quest===
There are no type advantages in [[Pokémon Quest]]. However, each of the game's [[Tumblecube Island|locations]] has a bonus Type. The player's Pokemon of that Type get a boost to their HP and Attack. Additionally, most of the game's [[Cooking (Quest)|dishes]] attract Pokémon with a specific type.

===Pokémon GO===
In [[Pokémon GO]], type effectiveness multipliers differ from the core series games, but using the same type effectiveness chart.

The multiplier for Pokémon GO is 1.6n (1.4 prior to December 12, 2018 and 1.25 prior to June 21, 2017). The exponent ''n'' starts at 0, with weakness adding 1, resistance substracting 1, and an immunity being equal to a double resistance, subtracting 2.

As such, the following multipliers are possible:

|×0.244140625
|}

===Pokémon Masters EX===
Each Pokémon in [[Pokémon Masters EX]] is assigned with a singular type and one type that Pokémon is weak against, regardless of how many weaknesses it has in the core series games. Mostly these types and weaknesses follow the core series; the only exceptions to these are {{mas|Pryce}}'s {{p|Seel}} (which is classified as an {{t|Ice}} type, despite being a pure {{t|Water}} type in the core series) and {{mas|Barry}}'s {{p|Empoleon}} (which is weak against {{t|Grass}}, despite not being weak to it in the core series games). Different Pokémon of the same species can have a different type or weakness, depending on which Trainer it belongs to.

===Pokémon UNITE===
There are no type advantages in [[Pokémon UNITE]].

===Pokémon Sleep===
Pokémon in [[Pokémon Sleep]] each only have one type. Types in Pokémon Sleep are solely used to determine the {{Berries}} that the Pokémon may gather, as follows. Types should not be confused with [[sleep type]]s.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Type (TCG)}}
There are eleven types in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], significantly fewer than in other Pokémon media. Because of the smaller number of types, Pokémon often have different types in the TCG to other Pokémon media. Due to the fact that Pokémon in the TCG can usually only have one type, dual-type Pokémon often have different cards which correspond to the Pokémon's two different types, since type is a property of the individual card and not the species. In the TCG, moves do not have their own type. Instead, for {{TCG|Weakness}} and {{TCG|Resistance}}, the type of the Pokémon card is used instead.

Stellar (type)

2023-12-14T04:58:34Z

Nihkee:

{{upcoming notice}}
{{types}}
The '''Stellar type''' (Japanese: '''ステラタイプ''' ''Stellar type'') is a [[type]] that exists only in [[Generation IX]]. Unlike other types, no Pokémon or moves bear it naturally, being exclusive to the [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallized state]] of specific Pokémon.

==Statistical averages==
==Battle properties==
When a pokemon [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallizes]] into the Stellar type, it gains [[STAB]] for every move type, but only once per type. After you use a move, no other moves of that same type will recieve STAB. In [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, all moves will be boosted without limit.

When {{m|Tera Blast}} is this type, it has a special interaction, and inflicts damage with the user’s Attack or Sp. Atk stat— whichever is higher, and is super effective against Terastallized targets. This lowers the user’s Attack and Sp. Atk stats, however.
==Pokémon==
No Pokémon are naturally Stellar type, but they can become Stellar type through [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallization]].


==Moves==
No moves are naturally Stellar type, but {{m|Tera Blast}} can become Stellar type if the user Terastallizes into the Stellar type.

'''Tera Blast''' (Japanese: '''テラバースト''' ''Tera Burst'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IX]]. It is [[TM171]] in Generation IX.

==Effect==
{{MoveResearch|Does the move's category actually change, or only the stat used for damage calculation? Under what circumstances does this happen? For what purposes other than Gale Wings is Tera Blast considered Normal-type?}}
Tera Blast deals damage. If the user's {{stat|Attack}} stat is higher than its {{stat|Special Attack}} stat, Tera Blast becomes a [[physical move]] when {{Terastal}}lized; otherwise, it remains a [[special move]]. For determining which stat is higher, stat stage-modifiers are taken into account, but other effects (e.g. [[held item]]s such as a [[Choice Band]], Abilities such as {{a|Huge Power}}, etc.) are not.

If the user has Terastallized, Tera Blast's [[type]] becomes the same as their Tera Type, is unaffected by moves and abilites that change its type, and has a different animation depending on the move's type. Tera Blast is always considered Normal-type for the purpose of {{a|Gale Wings}}.

If the user has Terastallized into the {{type|Stellar}}, it has a special interaction, and inflicts damage with the user’s Attack or Sp. Atk stat— whichever is higher, and is super effective against Terastallized targets. This lowers the user’s Attack and Sp. Atk stats, however.

==Description==
{{movedesc|normal}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev9|SV}}|If the user has Terastallized, it unleashes energy of its Tera Type. This move inflicts damage using the Attack or Sp. Atk stat—whichever is higher for the user.

==Statistical averages==
==Battle properties==
When a pokemon [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallizes]] into the Stellar type, it gains [[STAB]] for every move type, but only once per type. After you use a move, no other moves of that same type will recieve STAB. In [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, all moves will be boosted without limit.

When {{m|Tera Blast}} is this type, it has a special interaction, and inflicts damage with the user’s Attack or Sp. Atk stat— whichever is higher, and is super effective against Terastallized targets. This lowers the user’s Attack and Sp. Atk stats, however.

'''Terapagos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テラパゴス''' ''Terapagos'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]], with [[The Indigo Disk]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Terapagos has {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Terapagos|3 forms}}: ''' Normal Form''', '''Terastal Form''' and '''Stellar Form'''.

Terastal Form Terapagos is the [[game mascot]] of [[The Indigo Disk]], appearing in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]].

{{an|Terapagos}} plays an important role in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.

==Biology==
Normal Form Terapagos is a small, {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a dark blue {{wp|Testudines|turtle}}. The body is light-blue with a shell shaped like a crystal with a white hexagon on top of it. The neck and legs each have a green star and ring rub. Each foot has three toes. It has a blue tail with a green star at the end. It has two light blue eyes with rouge rimming. It has a diamond shape on its forehead and two ear-like diamonds on both sides of its head. Finally, it has a green diamond ponytail with light and dark purple at the end.

Normal Form Terapagos is said to have a splendid aura. It is a small and weak Pokémon, but when necessary, it can crystallize the energy in its body to form a protective shield. It is also capable of assuming a dormant state when it feels that its life is in danger, pulling its head, limbs, and tail into its shell and shrinking in size which makes itself look like a jewel<ref>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/area_zero_mystery/ Introducing a Newly Discovered Pokémon!]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website.</ref>. In the anime, this species possesses a very long lifespan; [[Terapagos (anime)|one individual]] is confirmed to have been alive for hundreds of years. Terapagos has the ability to take on multiple distinct appearances<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/terapagos/</ref>. [[Heath]] is the one who coined Terapagos's name.<ref>[[Heath]]: ''"While separated from the research team in the crater's depths, I found a strange...entity. [...] I have tentatively named this creature Terapagos. [...]"'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}})</ref>

===Forms===
Terapagos has three forms: Normal Form, Terastal Form, and Stellar Form. Terapagos can fly in all of its forms.

Normal Form Terapagos is a small reptilian Pokémon similar to a turtle. It has an indigo body, light blue eyes and a bluish-green shell it can retract its limbs into when threatened.

Terastal Form Terapagos is a reptilian Pokémon that resembles a light-blue turtle. Terapagos has two light blue eyes with rouge rimming, while the rest of its head is a deeper shade of indigo. Its head is also decorated with small diamond protrusions, with two on top of its head and two more on either side. It has two small hands with 3 fingers each that barely poke out of its fur. Its fur is voluminous, its color varying with a gradient between a greenish yellow and sky blue. A second patch of fur also appears behind its shell, vaguely forming three separate tails.

Terapagos's shell is made out of crystal, with 18 irregular pentagons on top decorated with differently colored symbols that resemble all 18 [[Type#Icons|type icons]]. On the center of its shell is a small hexagonal protrusion, with a white hexagon on top of it with triangular extensions on each corner that connects it to the edges of the protrusion, slightly resembling the icon for the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. The sides of its shell also have three obtuse pentagons each on the rim of the shell; however, these are a solid light blue color.

Stellar Form Terapagos emanates an energy field similar to a dome beneath itself, surrounded by crystals bearing each of the type icons with their respective colors. The rest of its body takes on a rainbow-like hue, and its central crystal grows into a crown-like structure, topped with a miniature version of its standard form and the icon for the Terastal Phenomenon floating above it.

The [[Area Zero journals]] and the [[Scarlet Book]]/[[Violet Book]] describe it throughout the book, the text implying that this Pokémon is responsible for, or at least heavily related to, the Terastal phenomenon.

==Trivia==
[[File:Disc Pokémon.png|200px|thumb|Terapagos Sketch in the Scarlet/Violet Books]]
* Before the official reveal of Terapagos, a sketch of it appeared in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
* In the closed captions of the initial [[TV Tokyo]] broadcast of [[HZ023]], Terapagos was mistakenly referred to as コダイカメ ''Kodaikame'' (literally "ancient turtle").<ref>[https://twitter.com/DogasusBackpack/status/1705193807460098511 The closed captions for tonight’s #anipoke episode confirm that the Pokémon inside Liko’s pendant is named Kodaikame (コダイカメ). - @DogasusBackpack on Twitter]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1705215549121396945 本日のアニメ『ポケットモンスター』字幕放送にて、ポケモン・テラパゴスの名称を、正式ではない表記をしておりました。正式な表記は「テラパゴス」です。 - @anipoke_PR on Twitter]</ref>

===Origin===
Terapagos may be based on a {{wp|sea turtle}}, specifically the {{wp|Green sea turtle#Galápagos green turtle|Galápagos green turtle}}, a population of green sea turtles found around the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}. It may also be based on the {{wp|Galápagos tortoise}}.

Terapagos may also reference the {{wp|World Turtle}}, a mythical turtle found in various mythologies that was said to carry the world upon its back. Its hairy appearance may be a reference to Japanese legends of the ''{{wp|Cultural depictions of turtles#Japan|minogame}}'', a turtle which lived for 10,000 years and grew a tail made of {{wp|seaweed}}.

The tessellation on Terapagos's shell contains type icons. It could also be based on the unique pattern on the back of the {{wp|diamondback terrapin}}.

It may also take inspiration from {{wp|chitons}}, marine mollusks with flat disk-shaped bodies and eye-like peripherals composed of rock.

====Name origin====
Terapagos may be a combination of ''[[Terastal phenomenon|Terastal]]'', ''{{wp|terrapin}}'', and ''galápagos'' (a Spanish word for turtles, most recognizable because of the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}).

==Biology==

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Pecharunt, ogether with {{p|Munkidori}}, {{p|Fezandipiti}}, and {{p|Ogerpon}}, may reference the Japanese folktale of ''{{wp|Momotarō}}''. The tale relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of ''{{wp|oni}}'' (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations).

Pecharunt resembles a peach or [[Pecha Berry]]. Its outer shell covering it resembles a bisected peach and its pit.

====Name origin====
Terapagos may be a combination of ''Peach'', ''[[Pecha Berry]]'', and ''runt''.

===Forms===
Terapagos has three forms: Normal Form, Terastal Form, and Stellar Form. Terapagos can fly in all of its forms.

Normal Form Terapagos is a small reptilian Pokémon similar to a turtle. It has an indigo body, light blue eyes and a bluish-green shell it can retract its limbs into when threatened.

[[File:Disc Pokémon.png|200px|thumb|Terapagos Sketch in the Scarlet/Violet Books]]
* Before the official reveal of Terapagos, a sketch of it appeared in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
* In the closed captions of the initial [[TV Tokyo]] broadcast of [[HZ023]], Terapagos was mistakenly referred to as コダイカメ ''Kodaikame'' (literally "ancient turtle").<ref>[https://twitter.com/DogasusBackpack/status/1705193807460098511 The closed captions for tonight’s #anipoke episode confirm that the Pokémon inside Liko’s pendant is named Kodaikame (コダイカメ). - @DogasusBackpack on Twitter]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1705215549121396945 本日のアニメ『ポケットモンスター』字幕放送にて、ポケモン・テラパゴスの名称を、正式ではない表記をしておりました。正式な表記は「テラパゴス」です。 - @anipoke_PR on Twitter]</ref>

===Origin===
Terapagos may be based on a {{wp|sea turtle}}, specifically the {{wp|Green sea turtle#Galápagos green turtle|Galápagos green turtle}}, a population of green sea turtles found around the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}. It may also be based on the {{wp|Galápagos tortoise}}.

Terapagos may also reference the {{wp|World Turtle}}, a mythical turtle found in various mythologies that was said to carry the world upon its back. Its hairy appearance may be a reference to Japanese legends of the ''{{wp|Cultural depictions of turtles#Japan|minogame}}'', a turtle which lived for 10,000 years and grew a tail made of {{wp|seaweed}}.

The tessellation on Terapagos's shell contains type icons. It could also be based on the unique pattern on the back of the {{wp|diamondback terrapin}}.

It may also take inspiration from {{wp|chitons}}, marine mollusks with flat disk-shaped bodies and eye-like peripherals composed of rock.

====Name origin====
Terapagos may be a combination of ''[[Terastal phenomenon|Terastal]]'', ''{{wp|terrapin}}'', and ''galápagos'' (a Spanish word for turtles, most recognizable because of the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}).

'''Terapagos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テラパゴス''' ''Terapagos'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]], with [[The Indigo Disk]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Terapagos has {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Terapagos|3 forms}}: ''' Normal Form''', '''Terastal Form''' and '''Stellar Form'''.

Terastal Form Terapagos is the [[game mascot]] of [[The Indigo Disk]], appearing in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]].

{{an|Terapagos}} plays an important role in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.

==Biology==
Normal Form Terapagos is a small, {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a dark blue {{wp|Testudines|turtle}}. The body is light-blue with a shell shaped like a crystal with a white hexagon on top of it. The neck and legs each have a green star and ring rub. Each foot has three toes. It has a blue tail with a green star at the end. It has two light blue eyes with rouge rimming. It has a diamond shape on its forehead and two ear-like diamonds on both sides of its head. Finally, it has a green diamond ponytail with light and dark purple at the end.

Normal Form Terapagos is said to have a splendid aura. It is a small and weak Pokémon, but when necessary, it can crystallize the energy in its body to form a protective shield. It is also capable of assuming a dormant state when it feels that its life is in danger, pulling its head, limbs, and tail into its shell and shrinking in size which makes itself look like a jewel<ref>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/area_zero_mystery/ Introducing a Newly Discovered Pokémon!]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website.</ref>. In the anime, this species possesses a very long lifespan; [[Terapagos (anime)|one individual]] is confirmed to have been alive for hundreds of years. Terapagos has the ability to take on multiple distinct appearances<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/terapagos/</ref>. [[Heath]] is the one who coined Terapagos's name.<ref>[[Heath]]: ''"While separated from the research team in the crater's depths, I found a strange...entity. [...] I have tentatively named this creature Terapagos. [...]"'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}})</ref>

===Forms===
Terapagos has three forms: Normal Form, Terastal Form, and Stellar Form. Terapagos can fly in all of its forms.

Normal Form Terapagos is a small reptilian Pokémon similar to a turtle. It has an indigo body, light blue eyes and a bluish-green shell it can retract its limbs into when threatened.

Terastal Form Terapagos is a reptilian Pokémon that resembles a light-blue turtle. Terapagos has two light blue eyes with rouge rimming, while the rest of its head is a deeper shade of indigo. Its head is also decorated with small diamond protrusions, with two on top of its head and two more on either side. It has two small hands with 3 fingers each that barely poke out of its fur. Its fur is voluminous, its color varying with a gradient between a greenish yellow and sky blue. A second patch of fur also appears behind its shell, vaguely forming three separate tails.

Terapagos's shell is made out of crystal, with 18 irregular pentagons on top decorated with differently colored symbols that resemble all 18 [[Type#Icons|type icons]]. On the center of its shell is a small hexagonal protrusion, with a white hexagon on top of it with triangular extensions on each corner that connects it to the edges of the protrusion, slightly resembling the icon for the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. The sides of its shell also have three obtuse pentagons each on the rim of the shell; however, these are a solid light blue color.

Stellar Form Terapagos emanates an energy field similar to a dome beneath itself, surrounded by crystals bearing each of the type icons with their respective colors. The rest of its body takes on a rainbow-like hue, and its central crystal grows into a crown-like structure, topped with a miniature version of its standard form and the icon for the Terastal Phenomenon floating above it.

The [[Area Zero journals]] and the [[Scarlet Book]]/[[Violet Book]] describe it throughout the book, the text implying that this Pokémon is responsible for, or at least heavily related to, the Terastal phenomenon.

Legendary Pokémon

2023-10-05T03:57:55Z

Nihkee: /* Trivia */

:''"Legendary" and "Legend" redirect here. For other uses, see [[Legendary (disambiguation)]].''
----
{{Featured|September 5, 2007}}
[[File:2018 Legendary Pokemon Distributions artwork.png|thumb|350px|Artwork depicting a variety of Legendary Pokémon]]

'''Legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|伝説|でんせつ}}のポケモン''' ''Legendary Pokémon'') are a group of incredibly rare and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, generally featured prominently in the legends and myths of the [[Pokémon world]].

[[Special Pokémon]] is a subcategory of the Legendary Pokémon that are restricted or banned from certain official tournaments, battle facilities, and link battle formats. Most Special Pokémon are Legendary [[game mascot]]s.

No explicit criteria defines what makes a Pokémon a Legendary Pokémon. Instead, the only way to identify a Pokémon as belonging to this group is through statements from official media, such as the {{pkmn|games}} or {{pkmn|anime}}.

==Terminology==
{{main|Terminology of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon}}

[[Mythical Pokémon]] are a related but separate group of Pokémon, which are usually {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive. In Western language media, Mythical Pokémon were considered to be Legendary Pokémon prior to [[Generation V]]; in Japanese and Korean media, the two groups have always been considered distinct.

In some cases, the term "Legendary Pokémon" was still used referring to Mythical Pokémon even after the Generation V games. For instance, in a painting of {{p|Arceus}} in the [[Lilycove Museum]] from [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], as well as {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Shaymin}}'s trophies in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]].

==Overview==
===In the core series===
Legendary Pokémon are usually encountered as interactable or [[roaming Pokémon]]. Starting in {{v2|Platinum}}, Legendary Pokémon will reappear when the player defeats the {{pkmn|Champion}} if the Pokémon fainted earlier.

The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are 14 notable exceptions: {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Enamorus}}, {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, {{p|Fezandipiti}}, and {{p|Ogerpon}}). In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. With the exception of {{p|Type: Null}}, {{p|Cosmog}}, and {{p|Kubfu}}, and their respective evolutionary families, Legendary Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although many are able to [[List of Pokémon with form differences|change form]] and are part of a group, such as a [[Legendary group|duo]], a [[Legendary group|trio]], a quartet and even a quintet.

Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Legendary Pokémon typically appear just before the end, with [[Mythical Pokémon]] immediately after them.

====Statistical average====
High [[stat]]s are shared by most Legendary Pokémon. Considering [[List of Pokémon with form differences|alternate forms]] as separate Pokémon.
{{BaseStatNoCat
|type=Pokemon
|HP=97.10
|Attack=112.73
|Defense=100.85
|SpAtk=115.76
|SpDef=105.46
|Speed=94.69
|Total=626.59
}}

====Multiple Legendary Pokémon====
Many Legendary Pokémon can be obtained at most once per save file (excluding [[Event Pokémon|Pokémon events]]); in order to obtain multiple, a player would need to [[trade]] Pokémon between games. However, in some cases, there are multiple Legendary Pokémon of the same species either found or mentioned in-game, even though they may not be available to the player.

* The existence of [[regional form]]s with the [[Legendary birds]] {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} implies that a trio separate from [[Kanto]] existed in an isolated peripheral population (in this case [[Galar]]) and hence formed a new species.
* In some cases, the [[Pokédex]] mentions multiple Legendary Pokémon of the same species.
** The Pokédex says about {{p|Latias}}: "''They make a small herd of only several members.''"
** The Pokédex says about {{p|Entei}}: "''It is said that one is born every time a new volcano appears.''"
** The Pokédex says about {{p|Cobalion}}: "''From the moment it's born, this Pokémon radiates the air of a leader.''" implying its birth is a repetitive occurrence.
* {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Kubfu}} and {{p|Urshifu}} are the only Legendary Pokémon that can be of either gender, which implies the existence of at least two individuals of their species.
** In [[The Isle of Armor]], the player receives a {{p|Kubfu}}, while [[Mustard]] also has one. Mustard's Kubfu will evolve into an {{p|Urshifu}} of the form corresponding to the [[Towers of Two Fists|tower]] not chosen by the player.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, like in their remakes, the player can see a wild {{p|Articuno}} at the {{rt|15|Kanto}} gate to [[Fuchsia City]] through a pair of binoculars at any time, even after catching Articuno at the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] the Legendary birds are rare spawns, allowing the player to encounter and catch multiple of each in a single save file.
* In {{game|Scarlet and Violet|s}}, the player can get two {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}. Both were brought into [[Paldea]] through a time machine by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}.
* Because {{p|Type: Null}} and {{p|Silvally}} are synthetic species, it was possible for humans to create multiple individuals.
* Most Legendary Pokémon can be encountered multiple times in [[Dynamax Adventures]] in the Crown Tundra. However, the player can only catch one of each.
* Legendary Pokémon, that are eligible, appear in [[Battle facility|Battle facilities]] since [[Pokémon Crystal]] and are used by multiple trainers, especially leaders of such facilites. That happens independently from the ownership of same species by the player.
** For instance, [[Palmer]] has {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Heatran}}, and {{p|Cresselia}}, which are also available to the player in the [[Sinnoh]]-based games.
* Sometimes, multiple Legendary Pokémon seem to be present by comparing multiple games in the [[Core series#Timeline|timeline]].
** For instance, [[Brandon]] has the three [[Legendary birds]],{{sup/3|E}} while these birds are also found as wild Pokémon in [[Kanto]].{{sup/3|FRLG}} Three years later, they are still found as wild Pokémon in Kanto,{{sup/4|HGSS}} and in [[Sinnoh]]{{sup/4|Pt}} as well.

===In the spin-off games===
====Trading Card Game series====
{{main|Legendary Cards}}
In [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]], there are four [[Legendary Cards]], which are central to the plot: {{TCG ID|Promotional Card|Articuno|P03}}, {{TCG ID|Promotional Card|Zapdos|P10}}, {{TCG ID|Promotional Card|Moltres|P02}}, and {{TCG ID|Pokémon Card GB|Dragonite|promo}}. The latter is a [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon|pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

===In the anime===
Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are worshipped as {{wp|deity|gods}} by particular groups of people. In the anime, they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity. Sometimes, some Legendary Pokémon have stubborn behavior that they didn't trust humans like Raikou.

Trainers using Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that they have in [[Poké Ball]]s, or even as a non-owned Pokémon, are not unheard of. [[Noland]] has befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. Likewise, {{an|Brandon}} in the anime owned the three {{TP|Brandon|Legendary giants}} in Poké Balls and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} was seen participating in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] with the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}}. Another Trainer was seen entering the same tournament with a {{p|Heatran}}. A [[Nurse Joy]] who visited the [[Pewter Gym]] under assignment of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] kept a {{p|Latias}} in a Poké Ball. {{an|Gladion}} stole a {{p|Type: Null}}, which he managed to evolve into a {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}}. [[Goh]] has also succeeded in catching several Legendary Pokémon, including {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, a {{TP|Goh|Suicune}}, and a {{p|Regieleki}}. [[Project Mew]] members [[Quillon]] and [[Danika]] both own an {{p|Urshifu}} each, and the former has also caught the three original Legendary giants for research purposes. {{Gary}} was seen catching a {{p|Regidrago}} as a part of a Project Mew mission, while [[Horace]] was later revealed to have caught a {{p|Virizion}} during his own simultaneous mission.

In the anime, there are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}}.

==List of Legendary Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 71 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (71/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.
{{spoilers}}

===Generation I===
Four Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], with one trio and one standalone Legendary Pokémon.

====Legendary birds====
{{main|Legendary birds}}
[[File:LGPE Legendary birds.png|thumb|200px|[[Chase]] and [[Elaine]] fighting with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}]]
The three Legendary birds, also known as the Winged Mirages, are the resident [[Legendary group|Legendary trio]] of the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based on a mythical bird, and each is associated with a [[Season (mechanic)|season]] (though none of the three is associated with autumn).

In the games, all three are available in the Kanto region in all of its appearances except for [[Generation II]]. {{p|Articuno}} takes up residence in the [[Seafoam Islands]] in the south, {{p|Zapdos}} in the [[Kanto Power Plant|Power Plant]] (next to it in Generation IV) in the east, and {{p|Moltres}} in a variety of places, {{ka|Victory Road}}, [[Mt. Ember]], or [[Mt. Silver]], depending on the generation. In {{game|Platinum}}, they are also found {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Sinnoh]]. One also appears in Generation VI {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Kalos]] before heading to the [[Sea Spirit's Den]], where it can be battled and caught.

In [[The Crown Tundra]], each bird gains a [[Galarian form]].

In the anime, the Legendary birds appear together in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', in which they rule over the islands surrounding [[Shamouti Island]]. If they are disturbed and begin to fight, only {{OBP|Lugia|M02}} can stop them, though it will fail without additional help from the Chosen One. Separately, Articuno appears in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]'', ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'', ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', and ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]'', while Zapdos appears in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', and ''[[JN040|A Crakling Raid Battle!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', ''[[HS18|The Search for the Legend]]'', ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]'', and ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]''.

====Mewtwo====
[[File:PE Mewtwo scene.png |thumb|left|250px|{{p|Mewtwo}} in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]]]
{{p|Mewtwo}} is a catlike Pokémon which is an enhanced clone of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. Mewtwo has two [[Mega Evolution]]s, which increase its [[base stat]] total to 780.

In the games, Mewtwo was too powerful for its creators and escaped from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, wrecking it in the process. Mewtwo then made its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.

In the anime, {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} was featured prominently, appearing in several episodes of the [[original series]], [[M01|the first movie]], and [[Mewtwo Returns|the first special episode]] and reappeared in ''[[JN046|Getting More Than You Battled For!]]''. In the anime, Mewtwo was created by a group of scientists funded by [[Team Rocket]] boss {{an|Giovanni}} to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Although Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, after [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and it learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, despite being a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, it and the other clones are no different to normal Pokémon, and because it erased Ash and his friends' memory at the end of their first meeting, realizes that Ash himself truly does care for others, even if he doesn't know them. It later appears on Cero Island where Ash and Goh, the later having mistaken it for Mew due to his obsession with catching it, challenge it to a battle, where it easily won.

In the anime, another {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} appeared in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', who also appeared as Mega Mewtwo Y.
{{-}}

===Generation II===
More Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding five more Legendary Pokémon for a running total of 9. The Legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into a trio and a duo.

====Legendary beasts====
{{main|Legendary beasts}}
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|220px|[[Eusine]] and {{ga|Lyra}} discover {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} in the basement of the [[Burned Tower]], drawn by Kenkichi Toyama<ref>https://twitter.com/El_Aleph87/status/1304929135966539777</ref>]]
Like the Legendary birds of the previous generation, a second trio of similar types was introduced in the neighboring [[Johto]] region. These Legendary beasts, so named because their features are based on many different creatures, both real and mythical, as well as mythological deities, were trapped in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death. The trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power. It is unknown whether the three were already a Suicune, Raikou, and Entei when they died, or whether they were simply three non-Legendary Pokémon, and Ho-Oh reincarnated them as the first Legendary beasts. In the case of the latter, it is possible that these three would be the original three beasts, who created multiple descendants. For example, a new Entei is said to be born whenever a new volcano is formed.

In the games, more than one of each exists, with only the trio that roams Johto after being discovered in Brass Tower's basement during [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] being that of the legend. Each was captured and changed into a [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] in {{g|Colosseum}}, while one of the three, depending on the player's [[starter Pokémon]] choice, roams Kanto in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{p|Entei}} for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Raikou}} for {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Suicune}} for {{p|Charmander}}.

In the anime, the Legendary beasts did not appear together until [[M13|the thirteenth movie]], despite being introduced in Generation II. It appears that an initial plan for the three Johto-era {{pkmn|movie}}s was to have each feature one of the Legendary beasts in a central role, with {{OBP|Entei|M03}} taking a central role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'' and {{OBP|Suicune|M04}} taking the stage in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''. This did not pan out, however, possibly due to the canning of Johto's {{p|Celebi}} plotline, and Raikou was relegated to a role in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', featuring anime characters based on {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}, rather than [[M05|the fifth movie]], which focused on Legendary Pokémon from the then-upcoming [[Generation III]] instead.

Each of the beasts has made an episodic appearance, as well, with Entei appearing in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', Raikou briefly appearing in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', and Suicune having the most prominence (as in the games) through its appearance in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'', ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'', ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!]]'', ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]'' and ''[[JN107|Big Brother to the Rescue!]]''. In ''Healing the Healer!'', a {{TP|Goh|Suicune}} was {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Goh]], making him the first character in the anime to officially own a Legendary beast.

====Tower duo====
{{main|Tower duo}}
[[File:2020 Legendary Pokemon Gen II.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} flying over [[Ecruteak City]]]]
The first [[game mascot]]s that were also Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are a pair of Legendary birds which formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]] atop tall towers, leading to their designation. However, when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]], the home of Lugia, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, they both flew away, Lugia resolving to make its new home in the [[Whirl Islands]] and Ho-Oh to search the world for a pure-hearted Trainer. The two are thought to be as closely related as they are polar opposites, being based on the eastern legends of the {{wp|Fenghuang}} and {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

In the games, Lugia does not play a central role in the Generation II storyline, instead being mentioned only as having lived in Ecruteak City before the Brass Tower burned. It is found in the Whirl Islands in the Generation II games and their {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|remakes}} if the player holds a [[Silver Wing]]. It reaches prominence in the storyline of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, in which [[Shadow Lugia|one]] is corrupted by [[Cipher]] to become the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], unable to be purified. It is also available on [[Navel Rock]] in Generation III, as an event-exclusive Legendary Pokémon.

In the anime, Lugia is featured in a central role in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', in which it is revealed that {{Ash}} is the Chosen One who must help it to quell the fighting of the [[Legendary birds]]. Another pair of them appeared when Ash and his friends traveled to the Whirl Islands in Johto. Likewise, in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', {{OBP|Latios|M05}} was stated to have a father. This implies that some Legendary Pokémon can breed in the wild. Lugia appeared again in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]''.

Ho-Oh has a much greater focus during Generation II, being named as the creator of the Legendary beasts. It can be found, if the player has a [[Rainbow Wing]], atop the [[Bell Tower]] in the Generation II games and their remakes. It makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}}, as well, as a reward for purifying all Shadow Pokémon and clearing [[Mt. Battle]]'s 100-battle challenge, and on [[Navel Rock]] like Lugia.

In the anime, {{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first Legendary Pokémon that appeared (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow as [[Ash Ketchum]] started his journey, at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it. Ho-Oh featured in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' in a prominent role.
{{-}}

===Generation III===
Many more Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the eight new Legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 17. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the core series games, with the [[villainous team]]s plotting to reawaken the ancient Legendary Pokémon for their own use.

Many of the stories regarding the legendaries were slightly changed, or given a new perspective in the [[remakes]] of the first Generation III core series games, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Five of them also received new forms.

====Legendary giants====
{{main|Legendary giants}}
[[File:Brandon legendary titans Adventures.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]], drawn by [[Satoshi Yamamoto]]]]
This third former trio of Legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, is featured minimally in [[Hoenn]] legend. This Legendary trio, as well as its leader, {{p|Regigigas}}, is commonly considered to have the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.

As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the giants, which is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and finally completed in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Long ago, an ancient Pokémon, {{p|Regigigas}}, was said to have moved the continents into their present positions by pulling them with ropes. After it was finished, it created in its image three Pokémon: {{p|Regirock}}, from clay, {{p|Regice}}, from ice, and {{p|Registeel}}, from magma. Ancient people, seeing that the Pokémon was so powerful, sealed it away in the [[Snowpoint Temple]], while those it had created were separated from it and taken to the Hoenn region, sealed in three chambers, and left in the hopes that one day, someone would unlock the chambers and be able to tame the three so as to tame Regigigas. They are available in the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Island Cave]], and [[Ancient Tomb]] in Hoenn; as well as the {{si|Rock Peak Ruins}}, {{si|Iceberg Ruins}}, {{si|Iron Ruins}} in [[Sinnoh]] with an event {{p|Regigigas}}; and the [[Underground Ruins]] in [[Unova]].

In the anime, the [[Legendary giants (M08)|three Legendary giants]] starred together guarding the [[Tree of Beginning]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', as well as members of {{an|Brandon}}'s team in the Battle Frontier saga.

In [[The Crown Tundra]] of [[Generation VIII]], the trio becomes a quintet with two more introduced members: {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}.

====Eon duo====
{{main|Eon duo}}
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
While {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not have a distinct legend behind them, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available in normal gameplay and the other available through an event.

Latios and Latias take on counterpart availability in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} as well as {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with Latios being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in Ruby and SoulSilver, and Latias doing the same in Sapphire and HeartGold. In Emerald, after the player has defeated [[Wallace]], their mother will ask if the Pokémon mentioned on TV was red or blue, and depending on that, one of the two will be roaming Hoenn. The other member of the duo will be found on [[Southern Island]], accessible by [[Eon Ticket]], in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, and in [[Pewter City]], through the [[Enigma Stone]] event, in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In Generation VI, Latias and Latios gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Eon duo plays a much larger role in the main game's plot. They sense the grave danger Hoenn is about to face from the actions of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, and while the {{player}} is talking to {{Steven}} on the east side of {{rt|118|Hoenn}}, {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} appears before the two, asking for their help. The player and Steven ride the Eon Pokémon to protect its counterpart from [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} and their subordinate. After the fight {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} joins the player's party, holding its respective [[Mega Stone]]. Noticing the Mega Stone, Steven also gives the player a [[Mega Bracelet]]. After defeating Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, the player receives an item called the [[Eon Flute]] from Steven, highlighting the special bond between the two. The items enables the player to summon the Eon Pokémon and use it to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] through the skies of Hoenn.

In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', in which the two guarded the city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{OBP|Annie|M05}} and [[Oakley]], who wished to steal it. In the main series, {{si|Tobias}} used a Latios against Ash, as his second Pokémon in the first semi-final battle of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. A [[Nurse Joy]] had a Latias when testing the Pewter Gym in [[DPS02]]. Both Latios and Latias appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''; in this film, both of them were capable of Mega Evolution. In ''[[JN137|The Road Most Traveled!]]'', a Latias started following Ash and Pikachu after she was found and rescued by them. A Latios also appears in ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'' as well, although he is stubborn Pokémon and distrustful towards humans.

====Super-ancient Pokémon====
{{main|Super-ancient Pokémon}}
[[File:Super-ancient Pokémon.png|thumb|220px|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}, drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
This trio of Super-ancient Pokémon, known by fans as the weather trio due to their [[weather]]-related [[Ability|Abilities]], serve as the [[game mascot]]s of {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and are the first Legendary trio to all be game mascots. The trio represents the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to have expanded the land and sea, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful Legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.

During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on the version, seeks out Groudon or Kyogre respectively, with the intention of awakening them to make more homes for Pokémon of the land or sea. Eventually, the plan goes wrong, and the player is forced to defeat or capture the Legendary Pokémon to stop a global disaster. In {{game|Emerald}}, instead, both teams are on the loose, intending to awaken their respective Legendary Pokémon, and only by interference from the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.

The three members of the trio received new forms in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Rayquaza is now able to Mega Evolve, and Groudon and Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] while holding their respective Orb. Primal Reversion is considered the opposite of Mega Evolution. The latter is the outcome of the connection between Pokémon and human, and the former is derived solely from the Pokémon itself. While Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} are again sought by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, Rayquaza is the target of a mysterious girl named [[Zinnia]] during the post game plot called Delta Episode.

In the game, their history is revealed: thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless furious clashes. In the face of Primal Groudon and Kyogre's great power, people could do nothing. However, Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayquaza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.

In the anime, Groudon and Kyogre appeared in the two-part episode consisting of ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''. In these episodes, Team Magma and Team Aqua finally succeed in awakening the two, as in the games, though their conflict is resolved very quickly. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}. The super-ancient Pokémon all made a starring appearance in their Primal/Mega Forms in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', engaging in a violent clash with many other legendaries.

===Generation IV===
Nine more Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]], bringing the total to 26 Legendary Pokémon. Many of the Legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-[[Hall of Fame]] sidequests for the player to go on. Three of the newly introduced Legendary Pokémon (four prior to the {{game|Platinum}} expansion of the Pokédex) are not in the Sinnoh [[regional Pokédex]], appearing only in the [[National Pokédex]].

====Lake guardians====
{{main|Lake guardians}}
[[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} in the anime]]
The lake guardians, [[Sinnoh]]'s resident Legendary trio, represent the spirit of all consciousness, with {{p|Uxie}} embodying knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} embodying emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} embodying willpower. According to legend, having been created by {{p|Arceus|the Original One}}, the trio have the power to tame the powerful dragons it also created.

In the games, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf are found in the caverns of [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Verity]], and [[Lake Valor]], though Mesprit will roam Sinnoh after the player has encountered it, rather than battle immediately as the other two will. The trio are captured by [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, [[Jupiter]], [[Mars]], and [[Saturn]], and subjected to the experiments of [[Charon]] to draw out the [[Red Chain]] from the gems in their bodies. [[Cyrus]] summons {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, and alone, the lake guardians' power is not enough to stop them. {{p|Giratina}} interferes and draws Cyrus into the Distortion World, where the lake guardians assist the player in navigation through Giratina's lair.

In the anime, the lake guardians appeared, first in spirit form, in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]'', and ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', to {{an|Dawn}}, {{Ash}}, and {{an|Brock}}. They were captured by [[J]], who had been hired by [[Team Galactic]], in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', and were freed by Ash, Dawn, and Brock to stop the power of Dialga and Palkia in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''.

====Pokémon of Myth====
{{main|Pokémon of Myth}}
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|thumb|left|220px|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The Legendary creators of the Pokémon universe, the Pokémon of Myth consist of {{p|Dialga}} of time, {{p|Palkia}} of space, and {{p|Giratina}} of antimatter. Like the super-ancient Pokémon before them, they each serve as the mascots of [[Sinnoh]]'s trio of games, {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

In the games, Dialga and Palkia are sought by [[Cyrus]] to destroy and then remake the universe without spirit, a feature he hates about humanity. In Diamond and Pearl, Dialga or Palkia can be caught at [[Spear Pillar]], while Giratina may be obtained after the Pokémon League has been conquered. In Platinum, however, Giratina interferes with Cyrus's planned destruction of the universe and may be captured in its home, the [[Distortion World]], while Dialga and Palkia cannot be found until [[Cynthia]] has been defeated.

In the anime, {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} appeared together, fighting in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', while Dialga and {{mov|Giratina}} appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. The three appeared together in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' and ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. Dialga and Palkia were also summoned at the Spear Pillar and chained by Cyrus in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', but were freed when he escaped into another universe and the Red Chain was shattered by Ash, Dawn, Brock, and their Pokémon.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only, Dialga and Palkia were referenced as "mythical Pokémon" (Japanese: 神話のポケモン ''mythical Pokémon''); however, this pre-dates the term [[Mythical Pokémon]] (Japanese: 幻のポケモン ''Illusory Pokémon'') and has a different Japanese name.
{{-}}

====Cresselia====
[[File:Cresselia anime.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Cresselia}} in the anime]]
{{p|Cresselia}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon who represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.

In the games, Cresselia can be found on [[Fullmoon Island]] as part of a post-League quest to rid {{tc|Sailor}} [[Eldritch]]'s son of a nightmare. She will flee immediately, roaming Sinnoh and leaving behind a [[Lunar Feather]], which will heal the boy. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], Cresselia can be found on [[Marvelous Bridge]] after visiting the [[Strange House]].

Cresselia made her debut appearance in the anime in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which she fought briefly against a {{p|Darkrai}}.

====Heatran====
[[File:Ranger 3 Heatran mission art.png|thumb|left|220px|{{p|Heatran}} causing an eruption, drawn by [[Kouki Saitou]]]]
{{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of the planet's boiling {{wp|core}}, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Reversal Mountain]] in [[Unova]], and [[Scorched Slab]]{{sup/6|ORAS}} in [[Hoenn]], where it was said to have been born at the same time Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina created Sinnoh at the [[Spear Pillar]] and created the [[Battle Zone]].

Heatran first appeared in the anime in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', under the control of [[Marcus]], and later appeared in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]'' as part of a Pokémon Ranger rescue mission.
{{-}}

====Regigigas====
[[File:Regigigas PG.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Regigigas}} in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
{{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[Legendary giants]], having created them in ancient times and was said to have moved the continents in place, pulling them by rope.

In the games, Regigigas is found at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}, [[Twist Mountain]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, and the [[Island Cave]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, though it will not awaken unless the first three members of the Legendary giants are in the player's party. It is found in the [[Ultra Space Wilds|Cave World]] of the [[Ultra Space Wilds]]{{sup/7|UM}} with no prerequisites. It is also found in a certain [[Pokémon Den]] in [[Giant's Bed]]{{sup/8|SwSh}}, but will only awaken if all Legendary giants (now including {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}) are in the party. Since the player can choose to capture only one of the two new giants, they must obtain the other through [[trade|trading]].

Regigigas appeared in the anime in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', in which it attempted to stop a glacier from destroying [[Ten'i Village]]. Another appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', in which it was hunted by [[J]] and defended by {{an|Brandon}}.
{{-}}

===Generation V===
Nine additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]], totaling 35 Legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the end of the game.

====Swords of Justice====
[[File:Swords of Justice M15.png|thumb|250px|The Swords of Justice]]
{{main|Swords of Justice}}
{{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Legendary Pokémon based on the titular characters of the 1844 French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'', and partially on hooved mammals such as deer, antelopes, oxen, goats, and horses. According to legend, they protect Pokémon from having their habitats destroyed by humans and have been known to have attacked human castles during the Middle Ages. Like the Three Musketeers, they are considered a trio but have a fourth, younger member in the form of {{p|Keldeo}}, a Mythical Pokémon, whom the other three rescued and raised after its home was destroyed by fire. All four of them can use their horns like swords, and learn their former [[signature move]], {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}, most likely a reference to it becoming part of the group later and therefore requiring more training to hone its sword skills).

They made their anime debut together, in the fifteenth Pokémon film ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', where Keldeo was responsible for the freezing of the other three during a battle against {{OBP|Kyurem|M15}}, and sought help from {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. In the movie, Cobalion acts as the leader of the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}, protecting Pokémon and humans alike through the world.

====Forces of Nature====
{{main|Forces of Nature}}
[[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|left|250px|The [[Forces of Nature]] in the anime]]{{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} are a trio of Pokémon based on {{wp|kami}}: {{wp|Fūjin}}, god of wind, {{wp|Raijin}}, god of thunder and lightning, and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, a fertility deity. Together the three represent the heavens and the nourishing effect the sky has upon the earth. According to a folktale retold by children at the [[Abundant Shrine]], Landorus punished Tornadus and Thundurus for destroying the land with gales and thunderstorms, and a shrine was built in honor of him. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] they receive a new Forme, the Therian Forme, with their old Forme known as the Incarnate Forme; the Formes can be switched between with the [[Reveal Glass]].

In the anime, the Forces of Nature were sought by [[Team Rocket]] in Unova from ''[[BW056|The Lonely Deino!]]'' until they were able to awaken them on [[Milos Island]] in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Part 2]]''. Tornadus and Thundurus fought on the island, while Ash and his friends awakened Landorus to put a stop to the fight (they all appeared in Incarnate Forme during these episodes). They debuted in Therian Forme in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', when Team Rocket once again attempted to capture them as the final goal of Operation Tempest. Together, they are said to have the power to control nature, which can be harnessed by one who possesses both {{an|Meloetta}} and the Reveal Glass.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] of [[Generation VIII]], the trio becomes a quartet with the introduction of {{p|Enamorus}}.

====Tao trio====
{{main|Tao trio}}
[[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|220px|{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} confronting {{p|Kyurem}}]]
{{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} represent balance through the aspects of {{wp|Tao|Yin and Yang}}, respectively. Originally, they were a single dragon that helped found the Unova region's nation, but fighting between the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|two brothers]] who founded the nation split them into two halves. Despite this, the two Pokémon do not willingly fight each other.

In the games, [[Team Plasma]] hunt either Reshiram or Zekrom in {{game|Black and White|s}} in order to use them to liberate all Pokémon from their owners. [[N]] captures one of them and defeats [[Alder]]. The other dragon emerges from the [[Dragon Stones|Dragon Stone]] the player possesses, and the player must capture it and use it to defeat N. After his defeat, N rides off on his dragon to a far-off region. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], which take place two years later, [[Ghetsis]] revives Team Plasma and captures Kyurem in order to freeze and take control of the Unova region. N confronts him with Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}, but Ghetsis seizes the opportunity to fuse the Tao dragon with Kyurem using the [[DNA Splicers]] to create Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}}/White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}. The player defeats Kyurem and Ghetsis, restoring balance to the region.

Reshiram and Zekrom are the stars of [[M14|''Pokémon The Movie: White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Pokémon The Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram'']] along with Victini. Zekrom debuted in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' causing [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s electric crisis, and appeared in numerous flashbacks and fantasies afterward. Reshiram also debuted in a cameo at the beginning of ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and had a large role in the "Episode N" arc, as [[Team Plasma]]'s target, appearing in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. Reshiram and Zekrom make a cameo appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.

{{p|Kyurem}} is related to Reshiram and Zekrom and represents {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}}, which is the absence of yin and yang. Using the [[DNA Splicers]], Kyurem can be fused with Reshiram or Zekrom into White Kyurem or Black Kyurem, respectively; with the same item, the fusion can be undone.

Kyurem is the star of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'' along with Keldeo, where it seems like a ferocious Pokémon and can change forms without the DNA Splicers. It is also capable of this when it appears in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.

===Generation VI===
Three additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VI]], totaling 38 Legendary Pokémon. This is the first generation to introduce fewer Legendary Pokémon than the generation before it.

====Aura trio====
{{main|Aura trio}}
[[File:Xerneas artwork.png|thumb|left|220px|{{p|Xerneas}} drawn by [[Yusuke Ohmura]]]]
[[File:Z2 50 Percent Forme.png|thumb|220px|{{p|Zygarde|Zygarde 50% Forme}} in the anime]]
[[File:Yveltal artwork.png|thumb|left|220px|{{p|Yveltal}} drawn by [[Yusuke Ohmura]]]]
[[File:Zygarde Complete Forme anime.png|thumb|220px|{{p|Zygarde|Zygarde Complete Forme}} in the anime]]
The Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon X and Y]] are {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}, and they form the [[aura trio]] along with {{p|Zygarde}}. Xerneas and Yveltal represent life and destruction, respectively, while Zygarde is said to monitor the balance of the ecosystem and reveal its power when the ecosystem is disrupted. Xerneas has the power to share eternal life, while Yveltal absorbs the life force of everything around it. Xerneas sleeps in the form of a tree, while Yveltal sleeps in the form of a cocoon. Xerneas and Yveltal have the Abilities {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{a|Dark Aura}}, respectively, while Zygarde's {{a|Aura Break}} reverses the effects of these Abilities.

Xerneas has {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Xerneas|two Formes}}, appearing in Active Mode in battle and Neutral Mode otherwise. Yveltal has no form differences. Zygarde appeared only as Zygarde 50% Forme in Pokémon X and Y, but had {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|two other Formes}} and two further components introduced in the anime and in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Zygarde's other Formes are Zygarde 10% Forme, a dog-like Forme that includes 10% of Zygarde's full power, and Zygarde Complete Forme, whose power is said to exceed that of Xerneas and Yveltal. Its further components are Zygarde Cells, tiny cell-like creatures that make up Zygarde's body, and Zygarde Cores, cell-like creatures said to be its mind.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], [[Lysandre]] captures Xerneas or Yveltal to use their power in the [[ultimate weapon]] to create a "beautiful world" in his image. Either Xerneas or Yveltal are captured by the player at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] upon awakening from their dormant forms. Zygarde 50% Forme can be found in [[Terminus Cave]] after the player enters the Hall of Fame.

In the anime, Xerneas and Yveltal starred in the movie ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', along with Diancie, where Xerneas and Yveltal are shown to be residents of the [[Allearth Forest]]. Xerneas made a minor appearance in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]'', being responsible for causing Ash and his friends to get lost in fog during the orienteering activity.

In the anime, Zygarde debuted in ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'' in its 50% Forme alongside a Zygarde Core. A Zygarde Core has traveled alongside Ash and his friends, nicknamed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, since the beginning of the {{DL|List of Pokémon the Series: XY episodes|XY&Z|''XYZ'' arc}}, and another Zygarde Core referred to as [[Z2]] was captured by [[Team Flare]]. Both of these Cores have appeared in all three Formes of Zygarde.
{{-}}

===Generation VII===
[[Generation VII]] introduced eleven Legendary Pokémon, totaling 49 Legendary Pokémon. For the first time, Legendary Pokémon capable of evolution are introduced—six of these Pokémon are part of [[Pokémon Evolution|evolutionary chains]].

====Type: Null and Silvally====
[[File:Gladion Type Null.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Type: Null}} in the anime]]
[[File:Gladion_with_Silvally.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Silvally}} with [[Gladion]] drawn by [[Hitoshi Ariga]]]]
{{p|Type: Null}} and its evolution {{p|Silvally}} are [[artificial Pokémon]] originally created by the [[Aether Foundation]] for the ''Beast Killer Project'' (BKP) under the direction of Aether President [[Lusamine]],<ref>{{G|Sun and Moon}}: "The [[Lillie|daughter]] who stole my {{p|Cosmog}} from me and the [[Gladion|son]] who took '''my''' Type: Null!"</ref><ref>Faba's blog from {{g|Sun and Moon}}: "My [[Lusamine|superior]]'s [[Gladion|family]] stole the results of our research and ran off."</ref> which aimed to create a Pokémon as an ''Anti-UB Fighting life-form'', Pokémon created to fight against the [[Ultra Beast]]s. Originally titled as '''beast killers''' (BK), '''Type: Full''' (Japanese: '''タイプ：フル''' ''Type: Full'') was created with data collected from [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Canalave Library]], allowing the Pokémon to change their [[type]] to any of the 18, similar to that of {{p|Arceus}}, with usage of their {{a|RKS System}}. Three models of Type: Full were created by the Aether Foundation in Generation VII. The research on the Pokémon were then stolen by an unknown source and more was created in the [[Galar]] region, being distributed by [[Macro Cosmos]].

The Beast Killer Project was deemed a failure as the subjects of the project were known to go berserk and resisted their RKS System programming. The three Type: Full were given helmets to restrict the RKS System's effects, renamed to Type: Null, and then were put into cryogenic stasis. Aether Branch Chief [[Faba]] was involved with the creation of the helmet used to suppress the RKS System and was created without the permission of Lusamine. [[Gladion]] managed to evolve a stolen Type: Null that became [[Gladion's Silvally#In the games|his partner]]. He named the evolution Silvally.

In the anime, Type: Null debuted in ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]'' under the nickname "Silvally" and owned by {{an|Gladion}}. It later evolved into Silvally in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]''.

====Guardian deities====
{{main|Guardian deities}}
[[File:Guardian deities anime.png|thumb|left|250px|The guardian deities in the anime]]
The guardian deities are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who protect the islands of the [[Alola]] region. Each of the four main islands in Alola has a guardian deity: {{p|Tapu Koko}} on [[Melemele Island]], {{p|Tapu Lele}} on [[Akala Island]], {{p|Tapu Bulu}} on [[Ula'ula Island]], and {{p|Tapu Fini}} on [[Poni Island]]. The [[island kahuna]]s are each chosen by their island's guardian deity. According the Light of Alola, a book owned by [[Acerola]]'s family found in [[Malie City|Malie Library]], the tapu fought off against a beast from another [[dimension]] and lost. They were rewarded with the [[Tapunium Z]], their signature [[Z-Crystal]]. The beast then created multiple {{p|Cosmog}} for the tapu to take care of and protect as they grow up before returning to [[Ultra Space]]. The Tapu are known to be very kinda in certain situations, lending gifts, but they can also be very cruel, destroying certain locations or harming others when feeling angered. [[Grand trial]]s are often done in favor and praise of the Tapu. Multiple statues can be found throughout the region resembling the tapu, including in front of [[Pokémon League (Alola)|Alola's Pokémon League]] at [[Mount Lanakila]]. Many [[Strange Souvenir]]s in the shape of the guardians are given out to tourists and can be bought in the [[Thrifty Megamart]].

In the story of Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, [[Lillie]] is tasked with researching Alola's ruins, as [[Nebby]], her Cosmog, finds interest in exploring them. On her way to the [[Ruins of Conflict]], Nebby gets trapped on an unsteady plank bridge being attacked by wild Pokémon, the player swings in to save Nebby. With both falling in danger, Tapu Koko saves them and gifts the player with a [[Sparkling Stone]]. All four of the guardian tapu are seen coming to aid the island in assistance with the island kahuna to fend off a swarm of [[Ultra Beast]]s that were summoned by [[Lusamine]] on [[Aether Paradise]]. Through the events that the player comes across at Poni Island, Hapu is granted the title of kahuna of Poni by Tapu Fini, after her grandfather had [[Death in the Pokémon world|passed away]]. At the end of Sun and Moon only, Lillie and the player return to Tapu Koko's shrine to give it their thanks, there, Tapu Koko initiates a battle with the player where they can defeat, catch, run or lose to the deity and will be rewarded with their own Tapunium Z.

In the anime, Tapu Koko first appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'' and gave Ash a [[Z-Ring]]. Tapu Lele debuted in ''[[SM020|Partner Promises!]]'', in which it healed Ash. Tapu Bulu and Tapu Fini both debuted in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'', in which all four tapu sensed [[Nebby]]'s birth. All four later appeared in ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'' and ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', in which they helped Nebby evolve into {{p|Solgaleo}}.

====Cosmog and Cosmoem====
{{main|Light trio}}
{{main|Nebby}}
[[File:Lillie and Gladion and Lusamine Cosmog Merchandise 1.jpg|thumb|left|220px|{{p|Cosmog}} with [[Lillie]] illustrated by [[Megumi Mizutani]]]]
[[File:Nebby Cosmoem Evolutions.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Cosmoem}} in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
{{p|Cosmog}} and {{p|Cosmoem}} are {{type|Psychic}} Legendary Pokémon introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, they are the pre-evolutions of {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}. Cosmog has a major role in the game as a Pokémon being studied by the [[Aether Foundation]]. As a part of the research on [[Ultra Wormhole]]s and [[Ultra Beast]]s by [[Mohn|Professor Mohn]], the Aether Report in [[Aether Paradise|Secret Lab B]] suggests that Cosmog is a type of Ultra Beast that can create Ultra Wormholes when put in life-taking stress. Cosmog and its evolution line are hypothesized to have come from another [[dimension]] known as [[Ultra Space]]. The Aether Foundation plans to create a device to manipulate Ultra Wormholes under the use of Cosmog. Ultra Wormholes can be created using gasses extracted by Cosmog,<ref>[[Lusamine]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}:''"I was able to open the Ultra Wormhole using just the gases we'd extracted from Cosmog when it was in Aether Paradise, wasn't I?"''</ref> however, more can be created in heavier doses using the Pokémon as a whole. In [[Malie#Malie Library|Alola legend]], Cosmog were given to the [[Guardian deities]] by [[Light trio|Solgaleo and Lunala]] as heirs of the region, with the guardian tapu watching over the Cosmog until it can grow up and evolve. Cosmog evolve into Cosmoem under extreme stress, causing the Pokémon to condense into a smaller immobile form resembling a cocoon. With the help of the [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]]s being played during certain times of the day, Cosmoem will evolve into either Solgaleo or Lunala when brought to the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|SUS}} or the [[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|MUM}}.

In the story of {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, [[Lillie]], the daughter of the Aether Foundation's president, [[Lusamine]], spirits a Cosmog away and nicknames it [[Nebby]], hiding it in her bag as she tries to learn more about it by visiting the [[guardian deities]] and their ruins. Over the course of the game, Nebby evolves into a Cosmoem and eventually the [[version mascot]] of the game: the {{2t|Psychic|Steel}}-type Solgaleo in Pokémon Sun and the {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}}-type Lunala in Pokémon Moon. Another Cosmog can be obtained by the player at the [[Lake of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|MUM}} or the [[Lake of the Moone]]{{sup/7|SUS}}.

In the anime, both Solgaleo and Lunala debuted in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter]]'', in which they emerged from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] at [[Altar of the Sunne]] to create a Cosmog, which Ash found and cared for. {{an|Lillie}} named this Cosmog [[Nebby]]. It evolved into Cosmoem in ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'' and then into Solgaleo in ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]''.

====Light trio====
{{main|Light trio}}
{{main|Nebby}}
[[File:Ultra Sun Ultra Moon Necrozma Solgaleo Lunala artwork.png|thumb|220px|The Light trio]]
The Light trio is a fan-made term used to describe the group consisting of {{p|Solgaleo}}, {{p|Lunala}}, and {{p|Necrozma}} who resemble the [[Ultra Beast]]s. The Pokémon are written about in a book found in the [[Malie City|Malie Library]] known as the Light of Alola. Like their prevolutions, Cosmog and Cosmoem, Solgaleo and Lunala are said to have come from another world, [[Ultra Space]]. In The Light of Alola, it's written that they were known for giving light to the Alola region when it was first created. According to legends, when Solgaleo and Lunala appeared from an [[Ultra Wormhole]], the ancient kings of Alola bowed down to them and worshiped them. The Guardian Deities battled them and lost, gifting them the [[Tapunium Z]] after their defeat. According to [[Hapu]], an ancient ceremony was given to the legendary Pokémon, by climbing to [[Poni Island|Poni]]'s altar found at the end of the [[Vast Poni Canyon]]. The [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]]s, are then played to summon them. One flute found in [[Ula'ula Island|Ula'ula]]'s Lake, and the other found on [[Exeggutor Island]]. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Solgaleo and Lunala play an important role in the story, after [[Lillie]]'s Cosmog, [[Nebby]], evolves into Cosmoem, she brings it the altar, along with the player character, in order to summon the legendary, who turns out to be Nebby. Nebby takes the two to the [[Ultra Deep Sea]] so Lillie can confront [[Lusamine|her mother]]. The Legendary Pokémon is then caught by the protagonist under Lillie's direction.

[[File:Ultra Sun Ultra Moon Necrozma Dusk Mane Dawn Wings.png|thumb|left|225px|Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma]]
Necrozma was believed to have come from an [[Ultra Space|alternate dimension]] long ago. It has a major role in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, where as the "Blinding One", it once shared light across [[Alola]] and Ultra Space before an unknown injury caused Necrozma to lose its true form. This resulted in Necrozma becoming extremely vicious and constantly in pain, which made it steal light from other worlds or the Solgaleo and Lunala in order to sustain itself and regain the form it once had. In the story of the games, Lusamine and the Aether Foundation, with help from the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], have done research on Necrozma, swearing that she would protect Alola from Necrozma or any involved Ultra Beasts. At Poni's altar, Necrozma comes out from an Ultra Wormhole, along with Lusamine, who begs the player and Lillie to get away. Necrozma takes over the body of Nebby, who had just evolved into either Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}} or Lunala{{sup/7|UM}} and flees back to [[Ultra Megalopolis]], where the player must defeat it and return light back to the Alola Region. In the original Sun and Moon, Necrozma can be found in the post game, it's described as being similar to an Ultra Beast, however the [[International Police]] did not see it as such. [[Z-Power]] is known to have come from light produced by Necrozma,<ref>[[Dulse]], {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun}}: ''"These...auras...must have been particularly strong at the trial locations. And the Z-Power for the Z-Moves... It is also similar to the auras of the Totem Pokémon. Both came to Alola as Necrozma's light!"''</ref> while [[Z-Crystal]]s and [[Sparkling Stone]]s (and [[Z-Ring]]/[[Z-Power Ring]]s by extension) are pieces of Necrozma that channel the Z-Power in order to produce a Z-Move.

Solgaleo and Lunala have form like-transformations known as {{form|Solgaleo and Lunala|Radiant Sun phase and Full Moon phase}} respectively when using their powers. Necrozma has three additional forms introduced in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. It transforms into the first two, called Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma, when it has absorbed Solgaleo and Lunala, respectively. Either of these two forms can further transform into the third, Ultra Necrozma, after absorbing enough light to restore its true form. All three have their own unique Z-Crystals, the [[Solganium Z]], the [[Lunalium Z]] and the [[Ultranecrozium Z]]. Necrozma, while transformed into either Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings, can make use of the other two's Z-Crystals.

In the anime, Solgaleo and Lunala both debuted in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'', where the pair emerged from two [[Ultra Wormhole]] at [[Altar of the Sunne]] to create a {{p|Cosmog}}, which it then gave to the [[guardian deities]] to be placed in a location when it will be found by {{Ash}}. Ultra Necrozma debuted in ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'' in a book mentioned by [[Acerola]], which revealed how Ultra Necrozma, Solgaleo and Lunala brought light to [[Alola]] and how Ultra Necrozma earned the title of the "Blinding One".

===Generation VIII===
In [[Generation VIII]], 11 Legendary Pokémon were introduced, bringing the total to 60. Of these, three were introduced in the base game of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], two were introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]], five were introduced in [[The Crown Tundra]], and one was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. Additionally, The Crown Tundra introduced [[regional form]]s of three Legendary Pokémon from Generation I.

====Legends of Galar====
{{main|Hero duo}}
[[File:JN045.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} in the anime]]
[[File:Victor Eternatus Evolutions.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Eternatus}} in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
{{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, and {{p|Eternatus}} are Legendary Pokémon introduced in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Zacian and Zamazenta work together to protect the [[Galar]] region from any great calamity. 3000 years ago, a cataclysmic event known as the [[Darkest Day]] was caused by Eternatus' awakening, Zacian and Zamazenta awakened as well to defend the region with the help of two human heroes. Together, they managed to take Eternatus down, with Eternatus' defeat and the Darkest Day stopped, the two wolves retreated to the [[Slumbering Weald]] to return to their slumber as the two human heroes became Galar's new kings.

As the years passed, the two Pokémon were nearly forgotten by history, fake stories were made overtime; at the hall of the Budew Drop Inn, a statue of a single young hero, bearing a sword and a shield was built, said to be the one who defeated all gigantic Pokémon and saving the region, but in Hammerlocke Vault, four tapestries were made, depicting two young men using a sword and a shield to reverse the storm above them and afterwards, being crowned as kings. In the present day though, the truth behind the legend was finally discovered by [[Sonia]], after [[Bede]] destroyed a colorful ancient mural, revealing the stone statues of Zacian, Zamazenta and the two ancient kings of Galar. Sonia eventually published the truth of the legend in [[Sonia's Book|a book]], and became a point of contention from two brothers, [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who claimed to be the descendants for the old kings.

Eternatus is an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]] that crash-landed 20,000 years ago. 3000 years ago, it awakened for the very first time, threatening to destroy the whole region with its power, in the event known as the Darkest Day, but it was stopped by Zacian, Zamazenta and the two Galarian kings. In the present day, president [[Rose]] tried to reawake this Pokémon and bring about Darkest Day once again, hoping it can fill the region for more years to come, Eternatus scaped though and thanks to [[Leon]], [[Hop]] and [[Victor]]/[[Gloria]], Eternatus was stopped once again in its Eternamaxed form with the help of the Hero Duo as Victor/Gloria catch the Legendary dragon once and for all, so it causes no more harm to the Galar region.

====Kubfu and Urshifu====
[[File:2020 Legendary Pokemon Gen VIII 2.jpg|thumb|150px|{{p|Kubfu}} and {{p|Urshifu}} by [[HYOGONOSUKE]]]]
{{p|Kubfu}} is a Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]] that is given to the player by [[Mustard]] after completing three trials of the [[Master Dojo]]. It is referred to as the "sacred armor" of the Master Dojo. Once the player trains with Kubfu at either the [[Tower of Darkness]] or the [[Tower of Waters]] in the Towers of Two Fists challenge, it will evolve into {{p|Urshifu}}. Urshifu has two different forms depending on the tower it trained in: Single Strike Style for the Tower of Darkness, and Rapid Strike Style for the Tower of Waters.

It has been confirmed that there exists multiple instances of Kubfu, as both the player and Mustard own one, as seen at the end of the Towers of Two Fists challenge.

====Regieleki and Regidrago====
[[file:JN113.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}} in the anime]]
{{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}} are two Legendary Pokémon and the new members of the [[Legendary giants]] that were introduced in ''The Crown Tundra''. Both were said to be created by Regigigas as well, using pure {{t|Electric}} energy and crystallized {{t|Dragon}} energy, they're seen as the most powerful of all giants, with Regieleki being capable of creating the electricity of a whole [[Galar|Region]] while Regidrago possess the power of every Dragon Pokemon. Like their "siblings" and creator, they were sealed away as well by ancient people in the [[Split-Decision Ruins]] due to how dangerous they were. They can be encountered in the ruins they were sealed in after bringing and capturing the original three [[Legendary giants]]. However, only one of the giants can be captured, while the other one becomes unavailable to the player, in the Anime though, Goh and Gary managed to catch both of them in the same ruins.
{{-}}

====Galarian Legendary birds====
[[File:Galarian Legendary birds.png|thumb|220px|The {{rf|Galarian}} Legendary birds]]
In the [[The Crown Tundra]], the [[regional form]]s of the Legendary birds are introduced. These variants migrate every several decades to the Dyna Tree at [[Dyna Tree Hill]] in the [[Crown Tundra]]. The trio fight each other over it every time they meet, but they don't appear to have such a strong rivalry like their Kantonian counterparts have. For a time, the Galarian Legendary birds were believed be the same as the Kantonian [[Legendary birds]] due to them possessing similar characteristics to {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{t|Fire}}, respectively. The trio shares the same secondary [[type]], [[Flying (type)|Flying]], as their Kantonian counterparts, but they have a different primary type and [[Ability]] each.

It's still unknown what their true origins are, but it's confirmed that their names don't come from their first-discovered counterparts, but were thought due to their characteristics that possess similarities to the ice, electric and fire Types, making the true connection between both bird trios, mysterious. The Trio can be encountered at [[Dyna Tree Hill]] which triggers a cutscene which all three flee to the three different spots in [[Galar]]. Articuno can be found in the [[Crown Tundra]], Zapdos in the [[Wild Area]], and Moltres in the [[Isle of Armor]].

====The King's steeds====
[[File:896Glastrier Dream.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Glastrier}}]]
[[File:897Spectrier Dream.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Spectrier}}]]
Glastrier and Spectrier were introduced in [[The Crown Tundra]]. Only one of the two Legendary Pokémon are available; the location at which the player plants the Carrot Seeds determines which one. The steed once ruled over the Crown Tundra. It regularly attacked the humans and Pokémon living there who invaded its territory. The Pokémon determined by the carrot is chosen to serve as the steed of {{p|Calyrex}}, helping it spread green across Galar. However, when Calyrex begins to lose its power from lack of faith, its steed abandoned it and was forgotten as well. {{-}}

====Calyrex====
[[File:Calyrex3.png|thumb|150px|{{p|Calyrex}}]]
{{p|Calyrex}} is a Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[The Crown Tundra]]. It once ruled over a part of Galar known as ''The Crown Tundra''. It is characterized by its graceful and regal movements. Known as the King of Bountiful Harvests, it helped spread vegetation and harvest every year with its loyal steed it tamed {{p|Glastrier}}/{{p|Spectrier}}. However, in time, people began to forget about Calyrex and it slowly lost most of its powers, as {{p|Glastrier}}/{{p|Spectrier}} abandon it as a result. Calyrex remains alone and forgotten until encountered by Victor/Gloria.

After fixing its statue in [[Freezington]], it shows up to Victor/Gloria and uses [[Peony]]'s to communicate with them. After accepting it has been completly forgotten by the residents of the town, it decided to try and tame its steed once again using the [[Reins of Unity]] to regain most of its old power. After succeeding, Calyrex thanks Victor/Gloria and battles them in its Ice/Shadow Ride form, allowing itself to be caught afterwards.

====Enamorus====
[[File:Art Life 20230321 Enamorus.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Enamorus}}, drawn by [[Jiro Sasumo]]]]
{{p|Enamorus}} is a Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. It is the fourth member of the [[Forces of Nature]]. It was worshiped in [[Hisui]] along with {{p|Landorus}} as the gods of both field and spring who brought life to the region and signaling the end of spring, hence their title as the ''Herald of Spring''. While known to be kind with her love, they will not hesitate to punish those who disrespect life. They can be encountered in the [[Crimson Mirelands]] after capturing and filling the Pokédex entries of the other [[Forces of Nature]].
{{-}}

===Generation IX===
In [[Generation IX]], 11 Legendary Pokémon so far were introduced, bringing the total to 71. Of these, six were introduced in the base game of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, four were introduced in [[The Teal Mask]], and one was introduced in [[The Indigo Disk]].

====Treasures of Ruin====
[[File:Treasures of Ruin HOME wallpaper.png|200px|thumb|Treasures of Ruin]]
{{main|Treasures of Ruin}}
{{p|Wo-Chien}}, {{p|Chien-Pao}}, {{p|Ting-Lu}}, and {{p|Chi-Yu}} are a quartet of Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. All of them are part {{t|Dark}} type.

They have been referred to as cursed treasures and Pokémon of Ruin. These four Legendary Pokémon were once four ancient treasures that had been corrupted by negative human emotions, which came into the possession of an ancient king of Paldea. Eventually, the king's greed awakened them and unleashed disasters, resulting in these berserk Pokémon destroying the kingdom. All four were later sealed away in shrines by ancient Pokémon wielders after a fierce battle. These shrines can be unlocked by collecting 32 stakes scattered across [[Paldea]] in order to face them.

Wo-Chien is located at the [[Grasswither Shrine]] inside of the [[South Province (Area One)]], Chien-Pao is located at the [[Icerend Shrine]] inside of the [[West Province (Area One)]], Ting-Lu is located at the [[Groundblight Shrine]] inside of the [[Socarrat Trail]], and Chi-Yu is located at the [[Firescourge Shrine]] inside of the [[North Province (Area Two)]].

====Paradox duo====
{{main|Paradox duo}}
[[File:SV Switch Dock Cover Legendaries.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Paradox duo]]
{{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} are Legendary Pokémon first introduced in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. They are [[Paradox Pokémon]], being past and future relatives of {{p|Cyclizar}}, respectively. Both are far more aggressive and powerful than their contemporary counterpart. Two specimens of {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} were [[Time travel|brought into the present]] by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}.

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the player meets their version's corresponding Legendary early in the story, where it serves as their main mode of transportation throughout the game, changing into various forms for traveling the [[Paldea]] region: Sprinting Build, Swimming Build, and Gliding Build for Koraidon, and Drive Mode, Aquatic Mode, and Glide Mode for Miraidon. While low in power, Koraidon and Miraidon assume the Limited Build and Low-Power Mode, respectively, while at their full strength, they battle in Apex Build and Ultimate Mode, respectively.

In the game, the player encounters two of the respective Legendary Pokémon in their respective versions. The first Koraidon/Miraidon can be used for riding along Paldea and battling, while the second Koraidon/Miraidon serves as the final boss of the main story before becoming able to be caught during the post-game.

====Loyal Three====
[[File:The Loyal Three.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}} at the Loyalty Plaza]]
{{main|Loyal Three}}
The Loyal Three was first introduced in [[The Teal Mask]], the first [[DLC]] package for [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. They were believed to have protected [[Kitakami]] from {{p|Ogerpon}}, whose appearance frightened the villagers. In doing so, they were worshipped as heroes. After the truth about them was revealed, [[Carmine]] renamed them the '''Lousy Three''' or '''"Loyal" Three'''.

In truth, the Loyal Three were among many ruffians who traveled to Kitakami after hearing of Ogerpon and its partner's masks. They snuck into the cave they settled in and stole the Wellspring, Hearthflame, and Cornerstone Masks, leaving only the Teal Mask behind. Upon returning to its cave, an enraged Ogerpon donned the mask and went out to the village, cudgel in hand, to search for its friend. Upon meeting the Loyal Three, gloating over their stolen masks, Ogerpon attacked and defeated them, before leaving. The villagers, misunderstanding the situation, believed that the Loyal Three were protecting the village, creating a shrine and festival to celebrate their perceived heroism.

The player encounters the trio after they are revived, following [[Kieran]] punching the shrine in a rage. Later on, the player faces off against each member alongside [[Carmine]] as [[Titan Pokémon]]. When they are defeated, each member drops a stolen mask, allowing Ogerpon to recover it. They can be caught after clearing The Teal Mask storyline.

====Ogerpon====
[[File:1017Ogerpon 2.png|thumb|left|150px|{{p|Ogerpon}} peeking from behind its [[Teal Mask]]]]
{{p|Ogerpon}} is a Legendary Pokémon first introduced in [[The Teal Mask]]. It has four forms, Teal Mask, Wellspring Mask, Hearthflame Mask, and Cornerstone Mask, each form possessing an unique form while in its [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallized state]]. It is said to have terrorized the land of Kitakami before being stopped by the [[Loyal Three]], {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}} and {{p|Fezandipiti}}. However, it was later revealed to be only a misunderstanding, as it defeated the trio for stealing three of its mask and hurting its human companion, however, the villagers watching it, assumed it had come to attack the village, now seeing it as a terrible ogre, meant to be avoided. Only one knew the true story though, that being the mask maker who made Ogerpon's masks to beging with, telling the real story to his descendents ever since.

[[Florian]]/[[Juliana]] and [[Carmine]] encounters Ogerpon during the events during Kitakami's Festival of Masks, it loses its Teal Mask during the Festival and as the duo fixes it up, the Loyal Three are somehow revided and go to take revenge on Ogerpon with the three masks they had still. Eventually the three are beaten and Ogerpon's remaining masks are retrieved, as Ogerpon's true identity was revealed up by [[Kieran]], allowing the villagers to apologize for their mistakes and declare it as the true hero of [[Kitakami]] instead of the Loyal Three. Florian/Juliana can then capture it at the [[Dreaded Den]] after fighting Kieran who couldn't just let them have it instead of him.

====Terapagos====
[[File:Terapagos-Terastal 2.png|thumb|150px|{{p|Terapagos}} in its Terastal Form]]
{{p|Terapagos}} is a Legendary Pokémon first introduced in [[The Indigo Disk]]. It's theorized to be the origin of the [[Terastal phenomenon]] by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}. Terapagos has two {{fd|Terapagos|forms}}: Normal Form and Terastal From.

==Trivia==
* There have been Legendary Pokémon of every type except {{t|Bug}} type (excluding Silvally holding a [[Bug Memory]]).
* Every Special and Mythical Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number (Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon)|Alola Pokédex]] is marked by a special golden background in its [[Pokédex]] page instead of a regular blue one; other Legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beasts are marked by a special green one.
* {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, and {{p|Urshifu}} are the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.
** Heatran is the only Legendary Pokémon to have an equal chance of being either gender, while Kubfu and Urshifu both have a 7:1 chance of being male.
* In an interview promoting the launch of {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Junichi Masuda]] stated that Legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of Legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101228065540/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html 女子大生が訊く『ポケットモンスターブラック・ホワイト』] (archive)</ref> This is consistent with the relatively small number of Legendary Pokémon that have had their names changed significantly outside of Japan (currently 21: the [[Legendary birds]], the [[lake guardians]], the [[Forces of Nature]], {{p|Type: Null}}, {{p|Silvally}}, the [[guardian deities]], {{p|Eternatus}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Glastrier}}, {{p|Spectrier}}, {{p|Calyrex}}, and—in [[Pokémon in Greater China|Chinese]] only—the [[Mew duo]]).
* Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:
** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.
** Reshiram's theme employs a burning fire effect, Zekrom's theme employs a crackling thunder effect, and normal Kyurem's theme features an extra slapped bass part playing in the background.
* The Legendary birds are the Legendary Pokémon that have been available in the wild in the greatest number of core series games, each being able to be caught in eighteen core series games ([[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, SoulSilver]], [[Pokémon X and Y|X, Y]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon]], [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!]], [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword, Shield]], and [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Shining Pearl]]).
* Every Legendary Pokémon has slow [[List of Pokémon by experience type|leveling rate]].
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the [[Adventure Log]] lists recruiting Unown as an accomplishment. The Adventure Log otherwise only lists Mythical and Legendary Pokémon recruits, with the exception of {{p|Rotom}}.
* Rotom happens to be the only non-Legendary Pokémon to have the battle music of a Legendary Pokémon during at least one of its encounters, this encounter being in the [[Old Chateau]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.
** In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, Rotom has only one exclusive item that is found behind a locked door in a specific dungeon. It and {{p|Spiritomb}} are the only Pokémon that are neither Legendary nor Mythical that do this.
* So far, there is at least one Legendary Pokémon directly or indirectly related to each "power-up" phenomenon introduced in their respective regions:
** The [[Aura trio]] (specifically Xerneas and Yveltal) are theorized to be indirectly responsible for creating [[Mega Evolution]] in the [[Kalos]] region, while {{p|Rayquaza}} is believed to be responsible for Mega Evolution occurring in the [[Hoenn]] region.
** The [[Light trio]] and [[Guardian deities]] are directly related to [[Z-Move]]s.
** Eternatus is directly responsible for [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]].
** Terapagos is implied to be responsible for the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

'''Dot''' (Japanese: '''ドット''' ''Dot'') is a supporting character in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. She is a skilled programmer and a member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Online, she is known as '''Nidothing''' (Japanese: '''ぐるみん''' ''Gurumin''), a popular streamer that makes videos on various topics of the [[Pokémon world]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
Dot is a computer genius that was responsible for [[Brave Asagi]]'s technology system and created the [[Pokédex]] system used by members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], as she joined the group with her uncle [[Murdock]] looking after her. Dot also befriended a {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} that lived on the Brave Asagi.

Prior to [[HZ015]], before becoming a popular content creator, Dot was a fan of [[Iono]]. Eventually, she formed a friendship with her and was inspired into becoming who she is currently, Nidothing. Dot refers her as (Japanese: '''ナンジャモお姉さん''' ''Big sister Nanjamo''). After becoming Nidothing, Dot's video channel on the internet became a hit among Trainers.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Nidothing without costume.png|250px|thumb|left|Dot briefly seen without her costume]]
Dot first appeared in [[HZ001]], taking part in several videos alongside Quaxly in her Nidothing costume.

She debuted as herself in [[HZ007]], where it was revealed she was part of the Rising Volt Tacklers as well as [[Murdock]]'s niece. [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] went to Dot's room hoping to gather information on the {{Shiny|Black}} {{p|Rayquaza}}'s whereabouts, only to receive a drawing of Roy losing a battle. Later, after seeing Liko and Roy's dedication to becoming better Trainers, Dot gave them another drawing indicating that Rayquaza was in the [[Paldea]] [[region]].

In the following [[HZ008|episode]], after not responding to Liko's offer for her share of the food, Liko heard Nidothing's video theme and asked if she also liked to watch Nidothing's livestreams. Liko attempted to invite Dot to watch the livestream together, but this alarmed Dot and made her abruptly shout out of anxiety, leaving the former confused as to why she didn't want to watch the livestream with her despite listening to her theme song. Liko told her how much she admires Nidothing, how knowledgeable she was about Pokémon, and how fun it was to watch her. Afterwards, while Liko was watching her video in real time, Dot read her comment, which made Liko happy that someone she admired was reading her comment. The comment shared a similar description of Dot's personality, making her feel awkward. During the day, Murdock tried to get Dot out of her room by placing a tray of his donuts in a cabinet. Later that night, Dot, having been touched by Liko's kindness, sneaked into the kitchen and grabbed them for herself and Quaxly, making Murdock happy that his plan was successful.

In [[HZ009]], as soon as Liko arrived in [[Paldea]], Dot began to open up a little more to her. Following [[Ludlow]]'s advice, Dot left an illustration on Liko's bedroom door and when she thanked her, Dot said on the other side that she would wait for her. Accidentally, Liko saw Dot doing Nidothing's laundry while on her way to her house to approach {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} again. However, in [[HZ011]], while Dot was trying to tell Liko the truth, Liko revealed that she just thought that Dot was just a Nidothing fan, leaving Liko without actually knowing the Nidothing's real identity.

In [[HZ013]], as Dot was in progress of making a new video about [[Picnic|picnics]], she didn't have any idea on what to talk about, as she'd never been in a picnic before. After receiving a message from Liko, that she could make her own sandwich in the meeting room, causing Dot's stomach to growl. She decided to leave her room and to her surprise, she found table of [[sandwich]] [[ingredient]]s that she could use, though she didn't know how to make one. Ludlow explained to Dot that Liko wanted to share fun experiences with her to help build a better friendship. Considering Ludlow's words and with the help of her fellow members, she was able to create a video about picnicking. Afterwards, as a thanks, Dot sent Liko a message of her wearing her Nidothing costume alongside with Quaxly and Ludlow but once again Liko failed to make the connection. Ludlow and [[Friede]] decided to let Dot be the one to decide when to actually explain the truth to Liko.
[[File:Dot and Iono.png|thumb|left|250px|Dot and Iono interacting with each other]]
In [[HZ015]], Dot was tasked to find information on the whereabouts to where Liko is located. Initially, Dot informed the Rising Volt Tacklers that Liko had been seen in [[Artazon]]. Unfortunately, they were unable to find her, due to getting tricked by false information. Urgently Dot contacted [[Iono]] for help and, using her live show to her advantage, she started to find Liko: Iono unexpectedly started a game of tag to search for the girl, which Dot was not expecting that to happen, disconnecting as the live show was still continuing. As the Rising Volt Tacklers were leaving, she requested Friede to bring her to [[Levincia]] as well. After landing in town, Roy was the first to see her in person, acknowledging her as Dot, seeing how friendly Quaxly was towards her. Using the information from participants of the game started by Iono, Dot and Roy were able to find Liko. Though, when first meeting face to face, Liko didn't know who Dot was, not until she introduced herself, leaving Liko surprised. Iono arrived to find both Roy and Liko on top of the building, as Dot leaves and hid to play the role of Nidothing. After all that, it left Dot exhausted from being outside.

In the [[HZ016|next episode]], Dot caught Quaxly as her first Pokémon and partner. Dot went with Liko and Roy to look around Levincia to find the pedant until the ancient {{i|Poké Ball}} that holds {{p|Arboliva}} led them to where [[Spinel]] was. After finding Spinel's location, Dot participated in her first official Pokémon battle with her friends. Once Liko recovered the pendant, Dot and her friends made their escape through Arboliva. Later, through Quaxly's encouragement, Dot revealed to Liko that she was Nidothing, much to her shock.

In [[HZ018]], Dot and her friends got curious as to how [[Captain Pikachu]] was able to fly during his battle against Roy in the [[HZ017|previous episode]]. Although they asked Friede for answers, they couldn't get the information they wanted. However, Dot and her friends refused to give up as they decided to ask the rest of the members, but could't get an answer from them either. Despite this, Dot and her friends curiosity did get the rest of the members curious as well. They all decided to ask Friede for answers, as they were able to convince him into telling them as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

===Character===
As an influencer and a video distributor, it is Nidothing's job to entertain young aspiring Trainers. Within the videos, she is seen as perky, using exaggerated teaching methods, and giving a beginner's guide to Trainers interested in starting their own {{pkmn|journey}}.
[[File:Dot eyes.png|250px|thumb|left|Dot with her hair up]]
Outside of being a streamer, Dot seems to be reclusive and spends most of her time behind doors creating videos, and is rarely seen by the other [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] members. Rather than having herself talk to [[Roy]] and [[Liko]], she used Quaxly as a messenger to communicate with them. Due to her shyness, having lunch with the other members is bothersome to her. However, after being touched by Liko's kindness, Dot opens up a bit, as seen in [[HZ008]] when she sneaked out of her room to grab the donuts [[Murdock]] made for her and {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}}. This was shown again in the [[HZ009|next episode]], where Dot took [[Ludlow]] advice to the heart, as she realized that she and Liko do have some similarities, even leaving a drawing for her at her room. Dot also grew to consider Liko a friend, as seen in [[HZ013]], when she was surprised that she wanted to share experiences with her by giving her and Ludlow their own picnic to enjoy on the [[Brave Asagi]]. In addition, Dot went out of her way to look for Liko when she went missing in [[HZ015]], as she left her room and the Brave Asagi to find her.

Dot tends to get easily nervous or anxious on a tight schedule, or frustrated when she sees a comment on one of her videos she doesn't like. Dot is also shown to grow increasingly afraid and conflicted about any of her fans finding out that she's Nidothing, as seen when she panicked and shouted when Liko attempted to invite her to watch Nidothing's livestream in [[HZ008]]. However, Dot does show guilt for her unwelcoming attitude towards others, deciding to read Liko's comment as Nidothing during said livestream to make up for turning her down. Despite not wanting others to know the truth, Dot does bring herself to make an attempt to confess to Liko that she is Nidothing after gradually warming up to her, as seen in [[HZ011]]. However, after being encouraged by Quaxly, Dot fully tells Liko the truth about being Nidothing in [[HZ016]]. After becoming a Pokémon Trainer in the same episode, Dot got a taste of Pokémon battles, which she found enjoyable.

At first, Dot found Roy annoying, but was intrigued that he had a rare {{i|Poké Ball}} that had a Black {{p|Rayquaza}} inside it. However, after teaming up with him in looking for Liko and battling against the [[Explorers]], Dot warmed up to Roy and came to see him as a friend. Dot also watched Roy's second battle against [[Friede]] in [[HZ017]]. Although she still spends most of her time in her room, Dot seems to be more open in leaving it and interacting with others. Dot also seems to be comfortable in letting Liko and Roy in her room.

As Nidothing, she always starts her videos or livestreams with the catchphrase, (Japanese: '''よぉーっす！''' ''Yoo-su!''). It's a combination of the common English slang "yo" and part of {{p|Quaxly}}'s Japanese name.

She appears to be tomboyish in appearance. In Japanese, she uses the {{wp|Japanese pronouns|first-person personal pronoun}} {{tt|僕|ぼく}} ''boku'', a pronoun which is primarily used by males; when used by females, it is associated with tomboys.
