==Blurb==


<i>Liko, Roy, and Friede reunite at the Pokémon Center after running from the furious Galarian Moltres inside Galar Mine. Consulting Dot on the phone, their fears are confirmed—this form of the Legendary Pokémon Moltres is known for being overwhelmingly powerful when angered. Roy wonders if it’s possible to defeat the Pokémon in battle, but Liko has another idea: to try to understand how it feels. The Trainers attempt to quell Moltres’s rage, but it begins to attack, and Arboliva emerges from its Ancient Poké Ball to protect Liko. With Arboliva’s help, Moltres calms down, but Liko is surprised when it begins communicating with her pendant…</i>

==Plot==
After fleeing from {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}} in the [[Galar Mine]], [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] head to [[Motostoke]]'s [[Pokémon Center]] to treat {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}, {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, and [[Captain Pikachu]]. After they thank [[Nurse Joy]], [[Friede]] enters after having made it out of the mine with {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}. Friede compliments his Pokémon but notices that Charizard is hurt too, so he has Nurse Joy treat the {{pkmn|category|Flame Pokémon}} as well, which she gladly complies with.

After all their Pokemon are healed up, the group heads outside to the benches. Their Pokémon snack on {{Berries}} while Friede talks about the sheer strength of Moltres since it took all their strength just to escape its wrath and leave the mine. Liko takes this as sounding like fun, and Friede agrees. He says that it's always exciting to find an opponent stronger than him and it shows how much room he has for growth. Roy agrees, bringing up what [[Kabu]] said about learning from failure. Just then, [[Dot]] calls Friede to tell him about the information she gathered on Galarian Moltres, having been asked by Friede to investigate earlier. She tells the group about its physical features and how Pokémon who approach it end up lethargic. Dot then confirms that it is Moltres's [[Regional form|Galarian Form]]. Friede is amazed at having met such a marvel in person. Dot goes on by saying that the [[Legendary Pokémon]] resembles [[Kanto]]nian Moltres, but not much is known about it, and it's unstoppable when it's in a rage. Friede remarks that's something they know all too well as Dot hangs up, telling them to be careful. Friede proposes going after Moltres since it has one of the [[Ancient Poké Ball]]s, but a frustrated Roy has a hard time thinking they can beat the Malevolent Pokémon when it's mad. Liko, remembering how {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} shed a tear when Moltres was raging, thinks another emotion is hiding beneath its anger seeing how the Calm Pokémon could possibly sense it. Roy thinks a {{m|Flamethrower}} from Fuecoco that's just as strong would do the trick, but Liko brings up something else Kabu said, that winning isn't the only path for a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Friede thinks from this statement that the group shouldn't think about defeating Moltres, but rather about calming its rage. As the group ponders how to calm Moltres, Fuecoco, and {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}} start squabbling over a [[Grepa Berry]]. Roy tries to break them up but to no avail. The Grepa Berry they are fighting over lands in front of a napping Sprigatito. When Fuecoco dives to get it, Sprigatito ends the quarrel by calming both of Roy's Pokémon down with her relaxing scent, giving the group an idea.

The group arrives at the entrance to the Galar Mine, where Friede reassures Liko and Roy to relax and be ready for anything since the [[Explorers]] may still be inside. As they enter the mine, they see the damage done by Moltres's {{m|Fiery Wrath}}, the kids being informed by Friede to make a run for it if the Malevolent Pokémon does that same attack again. Just thinking about Moltres's Fiery Wrath makes Roy nervous, but decides to not let it get to him or Fuecoco. Sprigatito notices Liko thinking about how badly Moltres must be suffering. Hearing Moltres's [[cry]] from deep within the mine, Friede knows its anger hasn't cooled quite yet.

As the group comes out of the entrance tunnel, Moltres is right there waiting for them. Friede immediately sends Cap and Charizard into battle. Friede and Roy plan to draw Moltres' attention, having both Charizard and Fuecoco use Flamethrower. Moltres avoids the attack, and Liko and Sprigatito get to work building up a large quantity of the latter's relaxing scent for the Legendary Pokémon. When Moltres charges up an {{m|Air Slash}} attack, Cap jumps in front of Liko and blocks it with {{m|Thunder Punch}}. With that, Liko commands Sprigatito to use {{m|Leafage}}, the Grass Cat Pokémon mixing the attack with her aromatic scent to launch it at Moltres. However, the Malevolent Pokémon flaps its wings to deflect the attack each time. Friede gets the idea of having Sprigatito ride Charizard to get closer. Sprigatito hops on Charizard as they take flight. Charizard circles around Moltres and uses a Flamethrower. Fuecoco backs up Charizard with his own Flamethrower, which lands a hit on the Malevolent Pokémon and gives Liko and Sprigatito the opportunity to use Leafage again. However, Moltres blows off the attacks with a massive {{m|Hurricane}} that blows all of its attackers back.

Liko walks up to Moltres and tries to reason with it. She shows the Malevolent Pokémon {{p|Arboliva}}'s Ancient Poké Ball, and Roy shows it the Ancient Poké Ball that contained the [[Black Rayquaza]]. Moltres still rages as Liko questions its anger. Moltres uses Fiery Wrath, so the group retreated behind some nearby rocks. Roy tends to Fuecoco as the Fire Croc Pokémon falls as it loses stamina from Moltres's aura. Cap takes action and uses {{m|Volt Tackle}} on the Malevolent Pokémon. The attack gives Cap [[recoil]] [[damage]], but it also stops Moltres's Fiery Wrath. Liko runs up to Moltres once again. Despite Friede's warning, Liko tells Moltres that she wants to know how it feels. Moltres charges up for Air Slash, prompting Liko to shield Sprigatito with her body. Suddenly, Arboliva comes out of its Poké Ball to protect Liko. Almost immediately after, Liko's pendant starts to glow again with two of Lucius's Pokémon present. Moltres uses Air Slash, which Arboliva tries to block. Friede and Roy begin to think that maybe they can't stop Moltres after all, but Liko remains optimistic. Liko knows now that fighting alone isn't all there is to becoming a Trainer; learning how Pokémon feel and showing compassion for them is her path as a Trainer. With Liko's feelings linking with Arboliva, the Olive Pokémon activates its {{a|Seed Sower}} [[Ability]], creating a {{m|Grassy Terrain}} which awakens Sprigatito's power and heals Roy and Friede's Pokémon.
[[File:Roy Fuecoco and Wattrel.png|thumb|250px|left|Fuecoco and Wattrel teaming up]]
With that, a powered-up Sprigatito uses Leafage once more, which Moltres still shakes off. Even so, Liko, still determined to get through to Moltres, has Sprigatito keep using Leafage. When Friede gets an idea to not let the Leafage go to waste, he and Roy lend Liko a hand as well, having Charizard and Wattrel whip up a gust of wind to fight back. With nowhere for the wind to go, the leaves of Leafage rise up to Moltres. The Malevolent Pokémon tries to use Air Slash again, but Cap intervenes by using {{m|Double Team}} and having the clones disorient it. With this, Liko has Sprigatito use her strongest Leafage, and Moltres takes the full force of the attack. As the sweet scent scatters throughout the cave, Moltres finally calms down.

The Malevolent Pokémon lands in front of Liko and begins speaking with the pendant, which turns into the {{an|Terapagos|mysterious Pokémon}}. As the two Pokémon talk to each other, Liko wonders what they could be talking about. Moltres then makes it rain inside the mine, which Liko thinks is a sign that it's crying. Friede and Roy wonder how Moltres is making it rain in a cave until a vision like the one with Arboliva is created for all of them to see. The group is surprised to see that it shows [[Lucius]] with Moltres speaking of something called "[[Laqua]]", which intrigues Liko. As the pendant's Pokémon brings the vision to an end, the group is left confused as to what "Laqua" could mean. Moltres approaches, leading Roy to think that it's still mad, but the Legendary Pokemon drops its Ancient Poké Ball from its talon and [[recall]]s itself back into it and to Liko's shock, Arboliva does the same. Liko picks up both of their Poké Balls, getting the feeling that Moltres wants to join them. Roy still wonders what made Moltres so mad in the first place, and Liko believes that it had a deeply-held desire, wanting to know what it is and thinking that Moltres might even have a soft side. That's the feeling Liko gets, so she wants to make sure she's right. Liko praises Sprigatito for its hard work, and Roy likewise praises his Pokémon. Liko notices that the Pokémon from the pendant is gone. Hatenna jumps out of Liko's hood and climbs up a rock before tumbling down for Liko to catch. The Pokémon from the pendant then reveals itself to be hiding behind the rock.

Kabu arrives at the mine having heard of the collapse caused by Moltres. As a {{tc|worker}} informs him of the evacuated and injured Pokemon, Liko and the others arrive to greet him. Friede introduces himself to Kabu and thanks him for looking after the kids. Liko shows Kabu Moltres's Poké Ball, and Roy tells him that it trusted Liko and went inside. Kabu is impressed by this, praising Liko, and stating that her training has paid off. Kabu proposes that the next time they meet, they will have an official {{pkmn|battle}}. When Kabu notices something rustling in Friede's coat, the three of them race to walk out of the mine, mildly amusing Kabu.

[[Evening|Sunset]] comes around, and Liko is left wondering if that Pokémon from the pendant won't go back to being a pendant anymore. Friede would rather focus on getting it back to the [[Brave Olivine]] and talking about it there. With that, the three start running back to the ship, with Liko thinking that adventure feels like so much happens in a short time nonstop. Meanwhile, the Explorers watch them from above. [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]] ask [[Amethio]] if letting them go is a good idea since they have Moltres in their possession. Amethio assures his subordinates that Moltres wasn't their objective. Onia thinks they have nothing to show for coming all the way to Galar, but Amethio points out the Pokemon from the pendant, proposing that they follow them to the old castle and steal that Pokémon.

The '''Seafloor Cavern''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|海底洞窟|かいていどうくつ}}''' ''Seabed Cavern'') is a location in [[Hoenn]], deep beneath the water of {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. After surfacing inside the cave, there is a maze of tunnels to the deepest part, where {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}} resides.

==In the games==
===Description===
In order to reach the cave, the {{player}} must use {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Dive}}. Additionally, in {{game|Emerald}}, a {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}} will block access to the deeper rooms from the entrance until after [[Team Magma]] is defeated at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]]. Inside, {{m|Strength}} is required for navigation; there are also [[breakable rock]]s, which cause {{m|Rock Smash}} to be required for navigation in the Generation III games, but not the Generation VI games.

In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]], the cavern is the home of {{p|Groudon}}, who slumbers at its deepest part; in Pokémon [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]], Emerald, and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]], the cavern is the home of {{p|Kyogre}}, who slumbers at its deepest part (in Emerald, Groudon initially slumbers at the deepest part of the {{OBP|Magma Hideout|Jagged Pass}} inside [[Mt. Chimney]]).

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the stolen [[Submarine Explorer 1]] is parked at the bottom of the underwater area underneath the Seafloor Cavern. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the stolen Submarine Explorer 1 is parked at the shore in the entrance chamber of the Seafloor Cavern.

In the deepest part, [[Maxie]]{{sup/3|Ru}}{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Archie]]{{sup/3|Sa}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}} will attempt to control the super-ancient Pokémon using the orb he stole from [[Mt. Pyre]]. However, the Pokémon does not respond well, and instead will escape, causing [[harsh sunlight]]{{sup/3|Ru}}/[[Harsh sunlight|extremely harsh sunlight]]{{sup/6|OR}} or [[rain]]{{sup/3|Sa}}/[[heavy rain]]{{sup/6|AS}} throughout eastern Hoenn; in Emerald, both rain and harsh sunlight appear, alternating back and forth at regular intervals.

===Pokémon Generations===
The Seafloor Cavern briefly appeared in a vision by [[Courtney]] in ''[[PG07|The Vision]]''. Although the interior of the cavern wasn't shown, the top was depicted as a rocky island protruding from the water. At this rocky island, [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} appeared and attacked [[Team Magma]].

It properly appeared in ''[[PG08|The Cavern]]'', where it was shown that Team Aqua also visited it. [[Archie]], [[Shelly]], and three {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}s went deep inside the cave and found a room where {{p|Kyogre}} was resting. Archie woke it up with the [[Blue Orb]], after which Kyogre transformed into Primal Kyogre and started to go on a rampage throughout the Hoenn region.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Seafloor Cavern Adventures.png|thumb|300px|Seafloor Cavern in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
The Seafloor Cavern first appeared in ''[[PS233|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon I]]'', where [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] arrived there together thanks to them forming a temporary alliance to combine the [[Submarine Explorer 1]], which had been stolen by Team Magma, with its [[Devon Parts|heart component]], which had had been stolen by Team Aqua, allowing them to dive deep enough to reach the undersea cave.

In ''[[PS234|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon II]]'', {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} were awakened by Team Aqua and Team Magma, respectively, with [[Maxie]] taking control of them both by using the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s, intending to give Groudon the advantage. However, in ''[[PS242|Very Vexing Volbeat]]'', Maxie started to struggle, as controlling two Legendary Pokémon at the same time started to take too much of his mental capacity. As such, he gave the Blue Orb to [[Tabitha]] so that the {{tc|Magma Admin}} could control Kyogre on his behalf. While doing what he had been ordered to do, Tabitha was ambushed by {{tc|Aqua Admin}} {{adv|Amber}}, who used his {{p|Volbeat}}'s {{m|Trick}} to steal the Blue Orb and deliver it to [[Archie]]. Archie then locked both Amber and Tabitha inside the Submarine Explorer 1 and sent it to dive on autopilot without its heart component in order to do away with the men inside.

In ''[[PS243|No Armaldo Is an Island]]'', {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} reached the Seafloor Cavern thanks to the {{m|Dive}} technique of Sapphire's {{p|Relicanth}}, Relly. They started battling against Archie and Maxie, but were unable to retrieve the Orbs before the two {{cat|villainous team leaders}} were overcome by their power and ended up fusing with them. Maxie and Archie then grabbed Ruby and Sapphire, and started to fly away, the Orbs' powers being called by Groudon and Kyogre.

In ''[[PS264|It All Ends Now V]]'', following the end of the weather crisis, Kyogre was revealed to have returned to slumber in the Seafloor Cavern, while Groudon had chosen to sleep inside [[Mt. Chimney]] instead.

The Seafloor Cavern is erroneously called the "[[Cave of Origin]]" in the [[Chuang Yi]] translations of Pokémon Adventures volumes {{FB|Pokémon Adventures volume|19}}, {{FB|Pokémon Adventures volume|20}}, and {{FB|Pokémon Adventures volume|21}}.

==Trivia==
* The Seafloor Cavern makes an appearance as a backdrop when a Pokémon from [[Hoenn]] is used in the [[Alola Photo Club]] in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].

'''Diantha''' (Japanese: '''カルネ''' ''Carne'') is a famous and renowned actress who is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Kalos]] region's [[Kalos League|Pokémon League]] in {{g|X and Y}}. She is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''{{tc|Grand Duchess}}'''.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Diantha Battle XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Diantha challenging the player]]
Diantha appears in [[Pokémon X and Y]] as a famous movie star and a notable icon across the Kalos region. She is also a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, but shows more interest in other Trainers who have real potential. She takes a special interest in the {{player}} from their first meeting in Café Soleil in [[Lumiose City]] and later when she meets the player again in [[Coumarine City]].

Later, she reappears as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Kalos]] [[region]].

After registering in the [[Hall of Fame]], Diantha can be found in Café Soleil, where she will ask the player to [[trade]] one of their Pokémon for her {{p|Ralts}} holding the [[Mega Stone]] for {{p|Gardevoir}}, the [[Gardevoirite]]. She will also appear in the [[Battle Chateau]] once the player has reached the highest rank, Grand Duke/Grand Duchess.

In {{g|Legends Z-A}}, several NPCs around [[Lumiose City]] discuss Diantha, revealing that she focused on her acting career after her defeat as champion. An advertisement can be found in [[Bleu Sector 7]] for Diantha's latest film, ''The Suffering of a Carnation'', the title of which is a reference to her own name.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
[[File:Diantha anime.png|thumb|250px|Diantha in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
Diantha debuted in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', where she was shown having an exhibition {{pkmn|battle}} against {{OBP|Magnus|XY028}}. With her {{p|Gardevoir}}, Diantha had very little trouble in defeating her opponent's {{p|Absol}} where it was shown she could direct her Gardevoir through mere eye contact. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} later encountered Diantha in disguise, trying to get a piece of chocolate cake from a shop. She agreed to have a battle with Ash, but the battle between {{AP|Pikachu}} and Gardevoir was soon interrupted by {{TRT}}, who caught Gardevoir and took it away. With the guidance of Diantha's Key Stone, Ash and his friends were able to find Team Rocket. Diantha then Mega Evolved her Gardevoir into Mega Gardevoir, easily breaking out of its confinement and sending the Rocket trio blasting off again.

She was seen in a fantasy in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', where it is also revealed that she and Gardevoir participated in the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]] back when Diantha was younger and Gardevoir was a {{p|Ralts}}.

In the beginning of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', Diantha was battling [[Wikstrom]]. She also appeared in a flashback in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]''.

In ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'', Diantha spoke with [[Olympia]] about the threat that Kalos was to face in the future, during which Olympia showed her a vision of {{p|Zygarde}}. When Olympia mentioned Ash and his friends, Diantha decided to track them down and let them know what she had heard, eventually meeting them in the middle of a training session. When she was informed about the mystical power of Ash and {{AP|Greninja}}, she requested to battle Ash again. Diantha and Gardevoir initially held the upper hand, but as the battle continued Ash and Greninja (which eventually transformed into Ash-Greninja, to Diantha's shock) kept doing better. Diantha eventually decided to get serious and Mega Evolve her Gardevoir. Ash and Greninja, however, managed to perfect their transformation and knocked Gardevoir off its feet. But before the battle could continue, Ash and Greninja both passed out. Team Rocket then tried to get their hands on a weakened Gardevoir, but Diantha easily sent them blasting off again. After thanking Gardevoir for its efforts and making sure Ash and Greninja were okay, Diantha left, but could not help but question the nature of Greninja's transformation and the role Ash and his friends were to play. She also appeared again in another flashback in [[XY119|the following episode]].

Diantha made further appearances since ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', where she stood in the middle of the [[Lumiose Conference]]'s stadium and welcomed the participants of the Conference. In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'' and ''[[XY128|A Riveting Rivalry!]]'', she watched Ash's and [[Sawyer]]'s battle in the semifinal round. In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', she was watching, along with Professor Sycamore, as Ash and [[Alain]] each walked towards their respective sides of the battlefield in the Lumiose Conference's stadium, for the final round of the Conference. In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', she watched the start of Ash and Alain's battle in the final round of the Lumiose Conference; and in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', she watched the battle's conclusion.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', and ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Diantha was caught up in [[Team Flare]]'s attack on [[Lumiose City]].

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Diantha helped destroy the [[Giant Rock]].

She appeared again in a flashback in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Iris Cynthia and Diantha photo.png|thumb|left|250px|Diantha with Cynthia and Iris]]
In ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown!]]'', Diantha was on the cover of a magazine read by [[Jessie]].

Diantha, along with her Gardevoir, appeared on a television screen in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]''.

In ''[[JN109|Aim For The Eight!]]'', Diantha was revealed to be one of the eight competitors in the Master Class of the [[World Coronation Series]], ranked fifth.

In ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', Diantha participated in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Ash, Alain, and Steven, and meeting {{an|Iris}} and the other regional Champions. Her first opponent was chosen to be {{an|Lance}}. While waiting for her match, Diantha accepted Iris's request to have a selfie with her and {{an|Cynthia}}. After {{an|Leon}} and Alain's battle had concluded, Diantha headed to the battlefield to start her battle with Lance. In the [[JN116|next episode]], she emerged victorious in her battle, advancing her to the semifinals to face Leon. Following her victory, Diantha was interviewed by a disguised Team Rocket, where Jessie demanded that she'd use her {{p|Gourgeist}} as her finishing Pokémon in her next match, much to her confusion. In the [[JN117|following]] [[JN118|episodes]], Diantha watched the rest of the quarterfinal matches with the other Masters Eight members.

In ''[[JN122|It's... Champion Time!]]'', Diantha battled Leon in the semi-finals. Despite her best efforts, she was unable to defeat even half of his team before her Pokémon were knocked out. As a result, she was eliminated from the tournament. In [[JN123|the]] [[JN124|following]] [[JN125|episodes]], she joined Leon in the waiting room to watch Cynthia's match against Ash. Prior to doing so, however, she briefly talked with Cynthia in the stadium hallway, and told her that she had faith that Cynthia would be the one to reach the finals and break Leon's winning streak. To her surprise, however, Cynthia confessed that she intended to retire from battling after the tournament was over. After the battle, she met up with Cynthia again, to which the latter revealed her change of heart, much to Diantha's delighted relief.

From ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'' to ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', she and Cynthia watched Ash's match against Leon. After Ash had defeated Leon and become the World Champion, an excited Diantha expressed her sudden urge to have a battle, which an equally excited Cynthia agreed to have with her right away.

====Character====
Just like in the games, Diantha is a famous movie star. She starred in a movie titled "{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|My Sweet, Sweet Lady}}". She is also a fan of desserts, going out of her way to sample the local delicacies whenever she arrives in a new town. Unlike her manager, [[Kathi Lee]], Diantha is much more relaxed and open, always showing warmth to those around her. She views the bond between Trainer and Pokémon to be of the utmost importance for growth. Such focus allows her to communicate to Gardevoir how and when to dodge simply by making eye contact and looking in a certain direction.

In battle, Diantha's strategy varies depending on which Pokémon she currently is battling with, a fact that leads others to describe her as "an enigma." She views a battle as a performance, to which she always displays a high degree of showmanship and elegance. She has an affinity for support and interference moves such as {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Reflect}}, and {{m|Trick-or-Treat}} to gain various advantages, combining such tactics with skillful and serene offensive combos. Furthermore, she is highly perceptive, able to decipher an opponent's strategy and attack pattern and instantly form a counterstrategy.

In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Diantha is revealed to have a very close friendship with {{an|Cynthia}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Diantha Adventures.png|200px|thumb|Diantha in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Young Diantha Adventures.png|200px|thumb|left|A younger Diantha in her debut film in Pokémon Adventures]]
===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
In [[PS616]], a younger Diantha was seen at the [[Tower of Mastery]] in a flashback of {{Steven}}'s time as one of Gurkinn's students.

===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
Diantha debuted in ''[[PS559|Chespin Sows the Seeds of Change]]''. She is one of several people who studied under and received a [[Key Stone]] from [[Gurkinn]]. She is first seen at [[Lysandre Café]] using her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} to shield {{adv|Y}} and her friends from [[Lysandre]]'s Pokémon. After Lysandre left on other business, Y's excitement at meeting a famous actress attracted the attention of Diantha's fans, forcing everyone to flee out the back door before going their separate ways.

In ''[[PS568|Connecting with Gardevoir]]'', Diantha introduced herself to [[Korrina]], Gurkinn's granddaughter and fellow Mega Evolution Successor. She led Korrina to a nearby river, where Gurkinn was under attack from {{tc|Team Flare Admin}} [[Chalmers]]. After they freed Gurkinn, the trio combined the power of their Mega-Evolved Pokémon to defeat Chalmers. Diantha then revealed she went on vacation from acting to join Gurkinn and Korrina stop the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} from falling into [[Team Flare]]'s clutches.

In ''[[PS574|Tying Trevenant]]'', Diantha, Gurkinn, and Korrina arrived at {{rt|9|Kalos}} to help {{adv|X}} and his friends stop Team Flare from taking Xerneas' tree form to [[Team Flare Secret HQ|Team Flare's base]]. Gurkinn helped X take on [[Emma|Essentia]] while Korrina went ahead to keep [[Celosia]] from transporting Xerneas. Diantha was attacked by [[Malva]], who trapped both of them in a {{m|Magic Room}} to stall for time while Xerneas was moved. Y and {{adv|Shauna}} tried breaking the barrier, but were unable to prevent it from sinking into the ground. Team Flare eventually obtained Xerneas and used it to fuel the [[ultimate weapon]], but the combined efforts of X and his friends weakened the device enough to prevent it from taking any lives. Malva later revealed she defeated Diantha and successfully captured Yveltal, who was sleeping in cocoon form in the ground underneath Xerneas's tree. Due to the Legendary Pokémon being equal in strength, both sides were forced to have a ceasefire.

In ''[[PS582|Pinsir Glares]]'', Diantha was revealed to still be alive, having been hidden underground by {{adv|Blue}} to avoid the ultimate weapon's beam. When Blue revealed he was searching for {{adv|Zygarde}}, a Legendary Pokémon said to be able to suppress Xerneas and Yveltal's power. Diantha agreed to help, and the two set off to search for clues to Zygarde's whereabouts. Diantha and Blue traveled to {{rt|15|Kalos}}, where they met up with X and his friends before Diantha went to see Gurkinn at the [[Lost Hotel]]. In ''[[PS586|Zygarde Appears]]'', Diantha and Blue arrived at [[Anistar City]], where they found Zygarde interrupting a battle between X's group and [[Emma|Essentia]]. Before they could land, Essentia managed to catch Zygarde and escape.

In ''[[PS587|Malamar Traps]]'', Diantha, Blue, and X's group set off to confront Team Flare at the [[Pokémon Village]]. Along the way, the group was attacked by [[Xerosic]], who had his {{p|Malamar}} put everyone to sleep with {{m|Hypnosis}}. In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', Diantha was revealed to have woken up and went ahead to village. She was ambushed by Malva, who used her {{p|Talonflame}} to steal Diantha's Mega Charm before taking to the skies. Diantha was assisted by Y, who used her [[Fletchy]] to burn Malva's hand and make her drop the Mega Charm. Y attempted to assist Diantha, but she refused and told Y to let her finish the battle alone. In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', Malva witnessed Lysandre's defeat, distracting her long enough for Diantha's Gardevoir to take down her Talonflame. Diantha tried to rescuing Malva, but was rejected and forced to watch as Malva fell onto the rubble below after failing to save Lysadre. After Team Flare was defeated, Diantha and the remaining [[Elite Four]] members carried Malva's unconscious body away.

==Trivia==
* Diantha is the only major character to have a full team of six Pokémon during the main story of X and Y.
* Diantha is the only {{pkmn|Champion}} to not use more than one Pokémon of the same [[List of Pokémon by color|color]]. Furthermore, each of her six [[party]] members has a different [[Statistic|stat]] as their highest stat. Her team is as follows: {{p|Hawlucha}} (Green, Speed); {{p|Tyrantrum}} (Red, Attack); {{p|Aurorus}} (Blue, HP); {{p|Gourgeist}} (Brown, Defense); {{p|Goodra}} (Purple, Special Defense); {{p|Gardevoir}} (White, Special Attack).
* The structure of Diantha's team when fought at the Pokémon League is similar to that of {{Steven}}'s team in {{2v|Ruby|Sapphire}} and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Both Champions use a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] and two [[Fossil]] Pokémon introduced in the Generation the Champion debuted, a Flying-type Pokémon that [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|had a unique type combination]] in that generation, and a Psychic-type Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
* Diantha appears on an electronic billboard on in the background of the {{OBP|Prism Tower|stage}} stage in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]. This makes her the only non-playable human [[Pokémon]] character to appear on a [[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros.]] stage.
** Because Prism Tower is brought over to [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], she is also the only human Pokémon series character, aside from the {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}}, to make an appearance in that game.
* Diantha's appearance and occupation as an actress seem to be based on {{wp|Audrey Hepburn}}, her hairstyle reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn's style in ''{{wp|Roman Holiday}}''.
** Her debut episode features Diantha in a film titled ''My Sweet Lady'', an homage to Hepburn's film ''{{wp|My Fair Lady}}''.
* Diantha's {{p|Gourgeist}} is the only Pokémon in {{aniseries|PTS}} to have used the move {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}.

The '''Gym Leader''' (Japanese: '''ジムリーダー''' ''Gym Leader''), also called '''Pokémon Leader''' or '''Leader''' in some early manuals, is the highest-ranking member of a Pokémon [[Gym]]. The main job of a Gym Leader is to test {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} so that they are strong and resourceful enough to take the [[Pokémon League]] challenge. If a Trainer defeats a Gym Leader in {{pkmn|battle}}, then the Trainer earns that Gym's [[Badge]].

Gym Leaders are also responsible for overseeing how their respective Gyms are run and maintained. Great care must be taken to make sure that their Gym reflects the best environment for the [[type]] in which they [[Type expert|specialize]], such as swimming pools in a {{type|Water}} Gym, trees and flowering plants in a {{type|Grass}} or a {{type|Bug}} Gym, or ice and snow in an {{type|Ice}} Gym. According to [[Morty]], teaching young people how to battle with Pokémon of that particular type can also be the job of a Gym Leader. Unlike regular Pokémon Trainers, a Gym Leader has the right to directly challenge the {{pkmn|Champion|Pokémon League Champion}}, as revealed by [[Brock]] in {{LGPE}}. As shown by [[Korrina]] in {{pkmn|X and Y}}, a Gym Leader is allowed to have casual battles without the loss counting as an official loss that merits a Badge.

It has not exactly been made clear how Gym Leaders attain their position, but it appears that it varies for each Gym. Some of them founded their Gyms and are self-appointed. Others, such as [[Whitney]], are chosen by the other members of the region's Pokémon League. A few appear to be passed on through families: [[Janine]], [[Falkner]], and [[Flannery]] all took over their respective Gyms from a close family member. However, Gyms do not necessarily belong to a particular family. [[Roark]] and his father, [[Byron]], are both Gym Leaders at the same time, in different Gyms. Leaders can also choose to vacate their position. Examples include [[Koga]], [[Giovanni]], and [[Wallace]]. Some Gym Leaders also have secondary professions, such as [[Elesa]] being a fashion model, [[Valerie]] being a fashion designer, and [[Katy]] owning a bakery.

==Terminology==
===English===
In the English game manuals from [[Generation I]], this is called "'''Pokémon Leader'''" in the section explaining and listing Gym Leaders. In later sections about the cities and towns, this was also shortened to "'''Leader'''". In the English game manuals from [[Generation II]], both "'''Gym Leader'''" and "'''Leader'''" are used.

In ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', this is written as "'''gym leader'''" in lowercase. For instance:

* ''"Here in [[Pewter City]], you'll face a {{tc|Camper|Jr. Trainer}} before you do battle with the '''gym leader''', [[Brock]]."'' (page 21)

===Japanese===
In the Japanese game manuals from Generation I, this is called '''ジムのリーダー''' (''Gym's Leader'') rather than the definitive name '''ジムリーダー''' (''Gym Leader'').

==Pokémon used==
Nearly all Leaders rely on a single [[type]] of Pokémon. For example, [[Erika]] uses only {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in official Gym {{pkmn|battle}}s. Some Leaders, however, stray from this mold, albeit rarely. This is evidenced by the different types used by {{ga|Blue}} during his reign as the Gym Leader of the [[Viridian Gym]] in Generations II, IV, and VII, although he is the only Gym Leader to do so. However, many Gym Leaders have one or two Pokémon that stray from their type theme. This is usually because of a lack of availability for Pokémon of a certain type, such as [[Sunyshore Gym]] Leader [[Volkner]]'s {{p|Ambipom}} and {{p|Octillery}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. In [[Paldea]], all of the Gym Leaders, excluding [[Larry]], will use a Pokémon whose type does not match their type theme. Instead, that Pokémon's {{DL|Terastal phenomenon|Tera Type}} will match the type theme and the Gym Leader will {{Tera}}stallize that Pokémon after sending it out.

Geography and climate can often be connected to the type of Pokémon the Gym Leader of that area uses. [[Pastoria Gym]] Leader [[Crasher Wake]] uses {{type|Water}} Pokémon, a direct allusion to the flooded marsh that surrounds the area and the constant downpour that plagues [[Pastoria City]]. Another example of this is the [[Cinnabar Gym]] Leader, [[Blaine]], who uses {{type|Fire}} Pokémon and lives in a volcanic area. [[Pryce]], [[Candice]], [[Wulfric]], and [[Grusha]], the {{gy|Mahogany}}, {{gy|Snowpoint}}, {{gy|Snowbelle}}, and [[Glaseado Gym]] Leaders, respectively, use {{type|Ice}} Pokémon and live either in or near icy or wintry areas.

The character archetype can also reflect the type of Pokémon a Leader uses. For example, [[Roark]] and [[Byron]], who are both miners, use the related {{t|Rock}}- and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. [[Tate and Liza]] could be based on the archetype of twins who can communicate telepathically, and thus train {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, and being twins, they also battle opposing Trainers in Double Battles.

==In the core series==
[[File:SwSh Prerelease VS Milo.png|thumb|250px|Gym Leader [[Milo]] challenging the player]]
A '''Gym Leader''' (Japanese: '''ジムリーダー''' ''Gym Leader''), or '''Leader''' prior to {{LGPE}}, is the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} name given to the Gym Leaders when they are battled in the [[Pokémon games]]. Despite Gym Leaders themselves being introduced in [[Generation I]], the Trainer class did not appear onscreen until [[Generation II]], and it has been incorporated into every game since. Gym Leaders are integral within the Pokémon universe. Occasionally, in order for one to advance in the game, the player must challenge and defeat the leader of a [[Gym]]. Each game is designed in such a way that the player will not be able to move forward until they receive a [[Badge|Gym Badge]] which will, in turn, either allow them to use an [[HM]] to overcome natural obstacles or trigger a necessary event to continue with the game. It is one of the player's main objectives to collect eight Gym Badges, allowing them to challenge the [[Elite Four]].

Leaders do not seem to be required to be in their Gyms at all times, as they may have other duties. [[Giovanni]], for example, could keep his title as a Gym Leader despite not being at the [[Viridian Gym]] during the majority of the events of [[Generation I]], and his successor, {{ga|Blue}}, was also absent from the Gym several times. Beginning in [[Generation IV]], Leaders are increasingly encountered outside of their Gyms, evident in the remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where the Leaders have to be found in different locations at specific times before they can {{DL|Pokégear|Gym Leader phone listing|exchange phone numbers}} with the player for a {{DL|Rematch|Gym Leader rematch schedule|rematch at the Fighting Dojo}}. Some Leaders even appear across regions, such as [[Jasmine]] appearing in [[Sunyshore City]], [[Crasher Wake]] on {{rt|47|Johto}}, and [[Maylene]] in [[Celadon City]]. Leaders can even challenge other Gyms and the [[Elite Four]] (like [[Volkner]] wanted to do). In later games, it is made apparent that Gym Leaders know each other and are acquainted with Gym Leaders from other regions, as well as with members of the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}s. Examples of this are Jasmine being friends with [[Erika]], Volkner being friends with [[Flint]], [[Brawly]] training with [[Bruno]], and most [[Unova]] Gym Leaders coming together to fight [[Team Plasma]]'s [[Seven Sages]].

The role of Gym Leader is often passed down by family: [[Falkner]] inherited the role as the Flying-type Gym Leader of [[Violet City]] from his father, [[Janine]] takes over her father [[Koga]] as the [[Fuchsia Gym]] Leader following his promotion to the Elite Four, the role of Oreburgh was given to [[Roark]] by his father [[Byron]] when he left to become the Canalave Gym Leader (although only after Riley, who was the first candidate, declined), [[Gordie]] is the [[Circhester Stadium]] Gym Leader in {{game|Sword}} passed down from his mother [[Melony]] who holds the title in {{game|Shield}}, [[Marnie]] becomes the [[Spikemuth]] Gym Leader replacing her brother [[Piers]]. Other times, it will be passed down to a Gym Leader's protégé: [[Wallace]] was mentored by [[Juan]] to become the Sootopolis Gym Leader, a position he returns to during Wallace's time as Champion; the role of [[Opelucid Gym]] Leader is given to Iris in {{game|White}} compared to her mentor [[Drayden]] in {{game|Black}}, [[Bede]] becomes the [[Ballonlea Stadium]] Gym Leader after accepting [[Opal]]'s offer to be her successor. Gym Leaders can also retire or even forcefully lose the title of Gym Leader in some cases; [[Koichi]] was the former Fighting-type Gym Leader of [[Saffron]] City until he lost a duel between [[Sabrina]] who replaced her.

In addition, some Gym Leaders may be required to use Pokémon different than their usual team, such as [[Cheren]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. Due to their higher AI compared to regular Trainers, Gym Leaders are also one of the few Trainers to employ the use of {{cat|Potions}} when battling.

Gym Leaders in Galar have two divisions: major and minor. Upon completion of the main story, during the [[Galarian Star Tournament]], [[Klara]]{{sup/8|Sw}}/[[Avery]]{{sup/8|Sh}} reveals that they have become a minor division {{t|Poison}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{t|Psychic}}{{sup/8|Sh}} Gym Leader.

===Gym Trainers===
In addition to Gym Leaders, there are also {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s. They are Trainers that are either a devotee or apprentice to the Gym Leader, who follow the same type theme as the Leader does. It is usually necessary to defeat multiple Gym Trainers before challenging the Gym Leader. Some Gyms in the game require the player to solve a puzzle, and one must often use Gym Trainers as obstacles to reach the solution. They have no direct impact on the overall plot, other than rarely offering the player helpful advice. It is also worth noting that the type of {{pkmn|Trainer}} appearing in a Gym will depend on the Gym itself. For instance, [[Gardenia]] employs {{tc|Aroma Lady|Aroma Ladies}} and {{tc|Beauty|Beauties}}, exclusively, while [[Misty]] recruits {{tc|Sailor}}s and {{tc|Swimmer}}s; these Gym Leaders represent the [[type]]s {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Water}}, respectively. However, starting in [[Generation VIII]], they only have the Trainer class "Gym Trainer", as well as a special introduction featuring their Badge.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Masters EX===
Gym Leaders from various core series regions appear in {{g|Masters EX}}. Some of them serve as PML Leaders for the [[Pokémon Masters League]], though this position is not exclusive to Gym Leaders, as seen with {{mas|Hapu}}.

===Pokémon Puzzle series===
In the "1P Stadium" mode of {{g|Puzzle League}}, [[Ash Ketchum]] battles the eight [[Kanto]] Gym Leaders.

In the "2P Stadium" mode of Pokémon Puzzle League, each player chooses a player character. The eight Kanto Gym Leaders are part of the list of available characters.

In the "Challenge" mode of {{g|Puzzle Challenge}}, {{ga|Ethan}} battles the eight [[Johto]] Gym Leaders.

===Pokémon Trading Card Game===
In {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, the [[Club Master]]s have a role similar to Gym Leaders, giving out [[Master Medal|Medal]]s to duelists who defeat them.

===Pokémon Mezastar===
In {{g|Mezastar}}, the [[Star Trainer]]s have a role similar to Gym Leaders.

==In animation==
[[File:Cilan Skyla anime.png|thumb|250px|{{an|Cilan}} and [[Skyla]], two Gym Leaders from the [[Unova]] region in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s challenge Gym Leaders at their respective [[Gym]]s in order to earn [[Badge]]s. If a Trainer earns eight Badges from one [[region]], they become eligible to enter that region's [[Pokémon League Conference]].

There are more than eight Gyms, and thus Gym Leaders, in each region. Many Trainers in the series have been shown to have Badges that do not exist in the games, such as {{Gary}} earning ten Badges in [[Kanto]]. Other Badges observed in the animated series which do not correspond to game Badges suggest that there are at least nine Gyms in [[Hoenn]], 11 in [[Sinnoh]], 14 in [[Unova]], and 11 in [[Kalos]]. 11 Gyms have been shown on-screen in Unova. Several other characters have become or were Gym Leaders in this canon at some point:
* Pewter Gym Leaders:
** {{ka|Flint}}
** [[Lola]]
** [[Forrest]]
* Cerulean Gym Leaders:
** {{an|Daisy}}
** {{an|Violet}}
** {{an|Lily}}
* [[Visquez]] acts as the [[Vermilion City]] Gym Leader in [[Lt. Surge]]'s absence
* [[Agatha]] of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] acted as the temporary Gym Leader of the [[Viridian Gym]]
* The [[Gym Leader (EP253)|original Blackthorn Gym Leader]]
* [[Mr. Moore]], [[Flannery]]'s grandfather and her predecessor as the Gym Leader of [[Lavaridge Gym]]
* [[Miles]], [[Skyla]]'s grandfather and her predecessor as [[Mistralton City]] Gym Leader
* [[Clembot]], the acting [[Lumiose City]] Gym Leader

===={{aniseries|AG}}====
In ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'', {{an|May}} mentioned that the [[Sootopolis Gym]] is the last Gym of the [[Hoenn League]], implying that there is a fixed order of Gyms. However, in the next episode, ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough!]]'', [[Juan]] is surprised to hear that the {{Badge|Rain}} was Ash's eighth Badge.

All Gym Leaders since [[Flannery]] have appeared in at least one episode before Ash earned a Badge from them.

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
In ''[[BW067|Cilan Takes Flight]]'', it's shown that, although Gym Leaders generally get along, they tend to disagree on things, in particular if their ways of running a gym clash.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
All of [[Kalos]]'s known Gym Leaders teamed up to help in the final battle against [[Team Flare]] and the [[Giant Rock]] in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
Some Gym Leaders from different regions were seen participating in the [[World Coronation Series]], such as [[Visquez]], {{an|Korrina}}, [[Raihan]], [[Bea]], and [[Volkner]]. It's also revealed that Bea travels across different regions of the [[Pokémon world]] to battle other Gym Leaders, such as Korrina and [[Chuck]] to be able to train for the championship. In ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]'', [[Paul]] was revealed to have been offered a Gym Leader position at an undisclosed Gym.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] have encountered several Gym Leaders, such as [[Brassius]] and [[Kabu]], in their search for the [[Black Rayquaza]] that once belonged to the Ancient Adventurer [[Lucius]]. In addition, {{an|Iono}} once helped [[Dot]] search for a missing [[Liko]] in her hometown of [[Levincia]]. In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', it was revealed that [[Paldea]]'s Gym Leaders help [[Naranja Academy]] to train qualified Trainers for [[Tera Training]], a special curriculum that consists of teaching them and perfecting the use of the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Kanto Gym Leaders PO.png|thumb|250px|Some of the Kanto Gym Leaders in Pokémon Origins]]
All of the [[Generation I]] Gym Leaders appeared in [[Pokémon Origins]], but only [[Brock]] and [[Giovanni]] had spoken lines and key roles in the miniseries' plot. In this canon, it is revealed that Leaders have different teams to take on challengers, depending on how many Badges they have.
{{-}}

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Unova Gym Leaders Generations.png|thumb|250px|Most of the Unova Gym Leaders in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
[[Giovanni]] is the only Kanto Gym Leader to appear in the miniseries, specifically in ''[[PG03|The Chase]]'' and ''[[PG05|The Legacy]]''.

In ''[[PG13|The Uprising]]'', most of the [[Unova]] Gym Leaders battled [[Team Plasma]] at the {{un|Pokémon League}}. In ''[[PG14|The Frozen World]]'', [[Drayden]] tried and failed to stop Team Plasma from stealing the [[DNA Splicers]].
{{-}}

===Pokémon: Twilight Wings===
[[File:Bea Twilight Wings.png|thumb|250px|Bea in [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]]]
All of [[Galar]] Gym Leaders appeared in [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]. The first one to appear was [[Bea]], who battled [[Leon]] in ''[[TW01|Letter]]'' and lost. [[Milo]], [[Nessa]], and [[Allister]] also made cameo appearances at the end of the same episode. ''[[TW02|Training]]'' focused mainly on Bea.

In ''[[TW04|Early-Evening Waves]]'', Nessa's story was told after a defeat in the [[Galar League|Champions Cup]]. [[Raihan]] was also seen on a magazine cover during the episode, and [[Marnie]] was seen eating at a [[Battle Café]].

[[Kabu]], [[Gordie]], [[Melony]], and [[Piers]] all appeared in ''[[TW05|Assistant]]''.

[[Opal]] and [[Bede]] appeared in ''[[TW07|Sky]]''.

In ''[[TW08|The Gathering of Stars]]'', every Galar Gym Leader attended the [[Galarian Star Tournament]].

===Pokémon Evolutions===

===Pokémon: Paldean Winds===
All of [[Paldea]] Gym Leaders appeared in [[Pokémon: Paldean Winds]]. [[Iono]] was the first Gym Leader to appear, debuting in a cameo in ''[[PPW02|Breathe Out]]''.

Ryme appeared in ''[[PPW04|Breathe Together]]'' while rapping about [[Naranja Academy]] during [[Ohara]], [[Aliquis]], and [[Hohma]]'s video project. Next, Iono starred in a segment of the video, introducing all of the region's Gym Leaders to the audience. It was revealed by Iono that Larry is one of the oldest active members of the Paldea [[Pokémon League]], having been Gym Leader for around 25 years.

[[Tyme]], the former Gym Leader of [[Montenevera]], also made brief appearances in ''[[PPW01|Breathe In]]'' and ''Breathe Together''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Gym Leaders Kanto Johto Adventures.png|thumb|250px|The Gym Leaders of Kanto and Johto in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Galar Gym Leaders Adventures.png|thumb|250px|The Gym Leaders of Galar (plus Leon) in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Gym Leaders have the same jobs as in the {{pkmn|games}} and {{pkmn|animated series}}, but are also shown to throw away their role as Leader and pursue other goals. Some Gym Leaders even become evil, such as [[Koga]], [[Lt. Surge]], [[Sabrina]], and [[Pryce]]. In order to become a Gym Leader in Adventures, one needs to fight a Trainer chosen by the [[Pokémon Association]] and win in front of them without letting one of their own Pokémon faint. The one exception to this rule seen so far has been by {{adv|Blue}} when he defended the building where {{adv|Red}} took his exam, since Red had to decline becoming a Gym Leader due to an injury, despite having passed the exam. Some Gym Leaders have jobs outside of their Gyms, but some of them focus solely on training their skills. In some regions, a single Gym Leader is chosen to lead and/or supervise the others. Known Gym Leaders with this status include [[Erika]], Pryce, and [[Winona]].

Gym Leaders are highly respected in their respective home regions and usually in other regions as well. When crises emerge, it is highly probable for Gym Leaders to gather to discuss about the situation that has befallen the region and what to do with it:

* All of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]'s Gym Leaders were called up for a tournament held at [[Indigo Plateau]] in the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} to fight as teams to see which region had stronger Gym Leaders. The secret secondary purpose of the tournament was to figure out the identity of the [[Masked Man]], who had been identified as a Gym Leader. The Kanto team won with four wins, three losses, and one draw.
* Seven of [[Hoenn]]'s Gym Leaders gathered at [[Fortree City]] during the {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}} to decide which team — [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]] — they should support. When the crisis escalated, the Gym Leaders turned their attention towards the {{adv|super-ancient Pokémon}} instead, although they were also forced to battle the [[Admin]]s of both aforementioned teams in the process.
* Six of [[Sinnoh]]'s Gym Leaders gathered to fight [[Team Galactic]] at [[Spear Pillar]] near the end of the {{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}.
* Six of [[Unova]]'s Gym Leaders gathered to protect the [[Nacrene Gym|Nacrene Museum]] from [[Team Plasma]]'s advance during the {{MangaArc|Black & White}}. Their plan ultimately failed, and Team Plasma took them hostage. Once freed, they battled against the [[Seven Sages]] at [[N's Castle]].
* Five of [[Kalos]]'s Gym Leaders gathered to stop [[Team Flare]] from activating the [[ultimate weapon]] in the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}. All eight of them later helped to stop the team's second attempt to use the weapon.
* All of [[Galar]]'s Gym Leaders gathered to combat the [[Darkest Day]] unleashed by [[Rose|Chairman Rose]] in the {{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}. Most of them also took part in the battle against {{p|Eternatus}}.

[[File:Kanto Gym Leaders JBA.png|thumb|left|230px|Kanto Gym Leaders in [[Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]]]]
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
Several of the Kanto and [[Orange Islands]] Gym Leaders appeared in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], though there were notable differences in some of their depictions compared to the {{pkmn|animated series}}. For example, [[Sabrina]] was portrayed as a kind and caring person, and {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} were not constantly traveling with {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}.

===Pokémon Zensho===
The [[Generation I]] Gym Leaders of Kanto appeared in [[Pokémon Zensho]]. {{zensho|Satoshi}} earned a Badge from each of them, although he got the {{badge|Cascade}} from [[Misty]] by defending her Gym from a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} and the {{badge|Marsh}} from [[Sabrina]] by helping to save [[Silph Co.]] from [[Team Rocket]], instead of defeating them.

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
{{GnB|Gold}} met many of the Johto Gym Leaders over the course of the [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]] manga, on his quest to earn eight Badges. However, due to the manga ending in [[Cianwood City]], [[Pryce]] and [[Clair]] never appeared in it. Gold also temporarily led the [[Cianwood Gym]] while [[Chuck]] was recovering from an accident.

===Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure===
Throughout his {{pkmn|journey}}, [[Jō]] faced the Gym Leaders of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. All of them except for [[Falkner]] appeared only as silhouettes.
{{-}}

==List of Gym Leaders==
===Indigo League===
In the [[Generation I]] games and their respective [[remake]]s, a number of Indigo League Gym Leaders can be fought out of order. [[Koga]] must be fought before [[Blaine]], as defeating Koga grants access to {{m|Surf}} and by extension, [[Cinnabar Island]], but otherwise, [[Lt. Surge]], [[Erika]], Koga, [[Sabrina]], and Blaine can be fought in any order. In {{LGPE}}, Blaine can also be fought before Koga, due to Surf having been replaced by the [[Secret Technique]] Sea Skim. Regardless, all seven other badges must be collected in order to gain access to [[Viridian Gym]] to challenge [[Giovanni]].

===Hoenn League===
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, it is possible to break the order and skip fighting [[Brawly]] until after defeating [[Wattson]] or [[Flannery]]. Regardless, the player must still defeat Brawly before fighting [[Norman]] since the latter requires the first four Badges before challenging him and defeating Norman grants access to Surf outside of battle.

Similarly, [[Winona]] can be skipped until after defeating [[Tate and Liza]] or [[Wallace]]{{sup/3|RS}}/[[Juan]]{{sup/3|E}}, but the player must still defeat Winona to gain access to the {{ho|Pokémon League}}.

Both of these are no longer possible in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, where a group of {{tc|Ruin Maniac}}s in [[Granite Cave]] prevent the player from advancing until Brawly has been defeated, and a {{tc|Bird Keeper}} on {{rt|120|Hoenn}} prevents the player from advancing until Winona has been defeated.

In {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Fantina]] is now required to be battled as the third Gym Leader, as the player cannot progress past [[Hearthome City]] until she is defeated. Additionally, Maylene must be challenged fourth and Crasher Wake must be challenged fifth.

===Paldea League===
The Gym Leaders of the [[Paldea]] [[region]] are the first ones who can be challenged in any order rather than the usual fixed order. However, the [[level]]s of their Pokémon remain the same regardless of when they are challenged. The Gym Leaders are listed in order of lowest level to highest.

==Trivia==
* For [[DP009]], [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Gym Leaders. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about them: 「ジムリーダー　いのちをかけて　かかってこい」 ''"Gym Leader, put your life on the line and challenge me."''
* The {{t|Dark}} type did not get a Gym until [[Generation VIII]], twenty years after the type debuted in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. Previously, there have been three [[Elite Four]] members ([[Karen]], [[Sidney]], and [[Grimsley]]), as well as an [[island kahuna]] ([[Nanu]]), who specialize in Dark types. The other seventeen types have at least one Gym associated with them, with the new types, {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Fairy}}, getting Gyms in their respective debut generations.
** As of Generation VIII, every other type has been specialized in by at least two Gym Leaders.
* Every Gym Leader that specializes in {{type|Steel}} Pokémon uses {{p|Steelix}} in battle.
* [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] is the only pair of generations where Gym Leaders share no type in common.
* In {{aniseries|GS}}, none of the Gym Leaders had exactly the same lineups as they do in the games.
* {{aniseries|DP}} is the only series in the {{pkmn|animated series}} where all Gym Leaders in a region have used exactly the same teams as in the games.
** However, Volkner only used three of his four Pokémon in his battle with {{Ash}}.
* In the games, every Gym Leader has at least one Pokémon in their party that knows the [[TM]] move they give out upon defeat. Former Gym Leaders do not count in this, as Wallace when he is faced as Champion and Giovanni when he is faced in Generation IV do not have Pokémon that know the move they gave out as TMs when they were faced as Gym Leaders in previous games. Koga, despite not being a Gym Leader in Generation IV, has several Pokémon that know Toxic, the move he last gave out as a TM.
* Since [[Generation IV]], there has consistently been a {{type|Grass}} and an {{type|Ice}} Gym Leader in each [[region]].
* From Generations I to V (not counting remakes), every move that was in a TM given out by a Gym Leader was a new move for that generation, and many of them were rarely (if ever) seen on any other Pokémon in the generation they were introduced. This trend has been broken in Generation VI, where only three Gym Leaders—Viola, Korrina, and Valerie—hand out TMs with moves new to the generation.
* Most of the [[core series]] Gym Leaders have Japanese names consisting of three katakana. This includes all [[Kanto]] Gym Leaders in [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}} games, all [[Johto]] Gym Leaders, and at least half of the Gym Leaders in every game.
** {{ga|Blue}} (Japanese: グリーン ''Green'') is the only core series Kanto Gym Leader with a Japanese name longer than three characters.
* In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the player can continue the game without defeating [[Winona]] of [[Fortree City]] until attempting to battle the Elite Four.
* The Orange League is the only one so far in which Ash has successfully defeated all the Gym Leaders without a rematch.
* In ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', it was mentioned that the position of Gym Leaders was very unforgiving, as it had a three-strike rule stating that if a Gym Leader lost three times in a row, the Gym will be disqualified. It also revealed that being a Gym Leader was costly, leaving little pay, and the government can't provide for them. It also revealed that the rather brutal nature of Gym leading was one of the reasons why {{an|Misty}}'s and {{an|Brock}}'s parents ended up abandoning them to Gym duties.
* Prior to the release of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Gym Leaders were referred to as Gym Masters in a since-deleted tweet by the official Nintendo of America account. This term was also used by [[Blaine]] in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]''.
* {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Pelipper}} are the most common Pokémon found amongst Gym Leaders, being used by seven each.
* [[Marnie]] is the only Gym Leader who doesn't use the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} "Leader" or "Gym Leader" when battled at a [[Gym]].
* Up to [[Generation VI]], all the Gym Leader's English names are puns based on their respective specialized types. From [[Generation VIII]] onward, they all possess flora-based names similar to the [[Pokémon Professor]]s, following the conventions of their Japanese names. The same applies to each Elite Four member of those generations.
* In [[Pokémon GO]], "Gym Leader" is the name of an achievement {{GO|medal}} awarded for defending {{GO|Gym}}s for at least 10 hours.

Nino938: /* A possible idea for dual types */ Reply

==The Bird & ??? types==

I added Bird and ??? type to the template. Although they are not really conventional types. I do think they should be included, maybe you should seperate them a little? I really can't get my head round metawiki's silly table formatting code. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 21:26, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Disagree with including Bird, but the ??? I can concur with. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 21:28, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Bird should probably be linked to in the [[Glitch]] article then. Can you take it out of the template? I'ld only screw it up. o_o - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 21:31, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I'm trying, and...well, screwing it up. XD

I think that the Bird type needs to come out of the table and for the ??? to go under the other special types so that the table is symmetrical. It's not really neccessary to make explicit reference to the Bird type in the table if its a type that isn't meant to appear in normal gameplay. Also, the ??? page doesn't exist and should it include the Missingno.s in RSE where they are repesented by the ? enclosed by a circle?

That's weird I had made the ??? page, look in my contributions. Looks like metaiwki doesn't like the question marks... - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 08:40, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

k then what does "The '''(type) type''' is one of the seventeen [[elemental types]]." need to be changed to? Nineteen, eighteen, or leave it? --[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 10:11, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Methinks they need to be separated from the main 17 and listed separately... -- [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 10:33, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Well, the BIRD type has been removed - it only needs to be mentioned in maybe one of the game mechanics pages or in a missingno. article.

I think that the ??? isn't a type to itself - its more a lack of a type. So really ??? shouldn't be classed as a type because it has no defining features like pokemon to represent it, no type weaknesses and resistances and the Curse changes effect with types and does no damage at all.

Curse does indirect damage when used by Ghost-types. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 01:46, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Exactly, '''indirect''' damage. ??? has no effect other than display. Curse could be grass type and still do the exact same thing.
--[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 01:14, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

This is minor, but shouldn't the "normal" elements be listed as "physical" elements? Is not that the generally accepted term for the opposite of the special elements?--[[User:ANinyMouse|ANinyMouse]] 06:09, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The ??? type DOES have a Pokémon to represent it.*cough*Arceus*cough*--[[User:Frostagin|Frostagin]] 18:51, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Several people here have expressed (to greater or lesser degrees) that they think there should only be said to be a total of 17 types as they believe the ???-type isn't really a type. However, this wiki should really be based more on the fact (as opposed to people's beliefs) and the fact is ??? appears in the type category for pokémon eggs in gen III. It also has a move and Arceus can technically turn into it. Does that not make it a type? What else does it really need?

Therefore, based on all the evidence before us I reckon the page should state there are 18 types to include ???. Does anyone have any problems with that??? [[User:Wikid|Wikid]] 00:10, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

:Meh, that was from practically a year ago, and it is one of my stupidest edits. And also, to future readers, please don't edit this conversation again, because bumps are bad.if a conversation is more than a month old, then adding would be a bump.Or so I've found through the site.[[User:Frostagin|<span style="color:blue">Frost</span>]][[User talk:Frostagin|<span style="color:blue">agin</span>]] 01:46, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

From the Pokemon Black and White page, "The ??? type has been removed, with Curse becoming a Ghost-type move," so shouldn't this be removed from the elemental types or put somewhere else like "Discontinued Type"? --[[User:ShawnFrost|ShawnFrost]] 04:07, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

:In Pokémon XD, there is one damage dealing ???-type move (Weather Ball during a shadow sky), so it should still be a type. [[User:EnosShayrem|EnosShayrem]] 04:34, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

== Disambig? ==

Should this be moved to "{{red link|Elemental types (game)}}", so that the main page can be converted into a disambig for the TCG one? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[wp:Echidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">E</span><span style="color:#0000FF;">chidna</span>]]''' 21:26, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Even if you do that, it'd still be confusing because they're both games, persey . . . aren't types more often refered to as "Energy Types" in the TCG anyways? --[[User:Zeta|Zeta]] 21:30, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, they are. --Paperfairy [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Paperfairy ☆] [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:Contributions/Paperfairy ・] 23:00, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Then should [[Elemental types (TCG)]] move to [[Energy types (TCG)]]? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[wp:Echidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">E</span><span style="color:#0000FF;">chidna</span>]]''' 00:17, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd say... just "Type (TCG)" seems good enough. That's all it's actually called, anyway. Well, that and "Color." I'd just go with "Type (TCG)." -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 01:18, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, most just call the GB types types... --'''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[wp:Echidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">E</span><span style="color:#0000FF;">chidna</span>]]''' 23:51, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

== Added a little known fact ==

Ah yes, it appears this fact I added is not very widely known, so I figured I'd post a little comment to let everyone know I'm not making this up. ^__^

I was randomly paging through my Pokemon Gold/Silver Player's Guide: the official one released by Nintendo, it has this really cool drawing of Lugia and Ho-oh on the cover and- I digress. Anyway, on the last page it features the type chart, with next to it some explanation about attack damage multipliers. Among the obvious ones about effectiveness of the types, it also mentioned "Damage x 1.5 when the attack type is the same type as the Pokemon that's using it".

Since this is the official guide, I do assume this is indeed a confirmed fact for the Gold and Silver series; it'll likely also work in Crystal. I proceeded to test said finding in Ruby and Fire Red and found that it applied there too. For reference, in Ruby I used the example stated in the paragraph I added with the Aron. In Fire Red I used an Ekans with the Poison Sting and Wrap attacks.

Still requiring confirmation:
Japanese versions of the games
Original Red/Blue series
New Diamond and Pearl editions
Spinoffs such as Mystery Dungeon

I'll leave that spot of research to the real Pokémaniacs. (read: I'll leave checking this to the ones who DO own and/or can afford said games. ^__^;; )

--[[User:Democalypse|Democalypse]] 18:37, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Items such as Metal Coat and Charcoal now boost moves of their designated type by 20%, an increase from the previous 10%. --[[User:ANinyMouse|ANinyMouse]] 13:51, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

That Damage x 1.5 thing is known among the fandom as [[STAB]], Same-Type Attack Bonus. If it wasn't in there already... I dunno why not.

And the Hold Item boost thing's now 20%? Is that as of DP? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[wp:Echidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">E</span><span style="color:#0000FF;">chidna</span>]]''' 17:13, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I remembered that term for it just now, thanks for editing it into the text. ^__^ Haven't come across it a lot though; because of that I was mistaken into thinking it was a less known feature. =S My apologies for the sillyness. ^^;

Yeah, as of D/P the type-specific items boost 20% instead of 10%. Makes them somewhat worthwhile on heavey hitters. --[[User:ANinyMouse|ANinyMouse]] 14:19, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

== A possible idea for dual types ==

Instead of making seperate lists for "Primary (type)-type Pokémon" and "Secondary (type)-type Pokémon", how about we have just one list? For example, with Normal, it'd be like this:

== All the Combinations ==

This is mostly for reference in this talk page, and doesn't directly assist the actual page, but it is important information nevertheless.

Eventually we are going to get close to having every type combination covered. So, here's some information.

With the current amount types, there is a total of 272 + 17 different type combinations (counting Ground/Dragon Flygon and Dragon/Ground Garchomp as separate). If we are to ignore these duplications, there is only 136 + 17.

I won't list them all here (for sake of space!) but I think this is important. Do we have a page with all the possible type combinations yet?

BTW - The math used for this kind of thing is called a permutation. -- [[user:Pokémaniac John|<sup><span style="color:red">Pokémaniac</span></sup><sub><span style="color:blue">John</span></sub>]] [[user talk:Pokémaniac John|<span style="color:green"><small>(talk)</small></span>]] 21:59, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

== Origin of type match-ups ==

"Why are Bug-type moves super-effective towards Psychic-types?"
"Why is it that Steel-type moves don't do as much against Water-types?"

I'm sure many, many people wonder this. As a Wikia, it's our job to educate the public, so I think that each type-page should have its section of why its match-ups are what it is. I'd imagine it'd work nicely being set up like this in the Grass-type page:

===Type Match-up Origins===
====Offensive====
=====Super-effective=====
*''Plants'' often spread their root system throughout the ''ground''.
*In some cases, ''weeds'' will be able to grow through the thin layers of concrete or ''stones'', despite their density. Moss is also commonly found on rocks, completely covering them up.
*''Grass'' is known to absorb large amounts of ''rainwater'' and manage to stay healthy. To add, water is actually needed in the process of photosynthesis, and some plants can even live underwater.

=====Not very effective=====
*Very few ''plants'' manage to prey on ''insects'' or hinder the mobility of bugs, due to their habits of eating plants.
*Certain ''reptilian'' animals aren't at disadvantages when in their respective ''plant-filled'' environments.
**[[Dragon-type]]s are often considered to be reptilian in nature.
*Since ''plants'' create oxygen, ''flames'' are only stronger when around grassy and forest areas.
*Aside from several poisonous ''plants'', no known type of plant can actually hurt ''birds''. To add, birds often make nests inside of trees or on their branches.
**Birds are usually associated with [[Flying-type]]s.
*''Trees'' cannot be planted too close to eachother, or else their roots will absorb too much of the liquid in the ground, and therefore wilt.
**Explanation of why Grass-type moves are not very effective towards Grass-types.
*''Plant-life'' not not often found in ''noxious'' environments.
*Regardless of the strength of the ''plant'', roots cannot penetrate plates of ''steel''.

====Defensive====
=====Resistances=====
*''Wood'' is known to be nonconducting to ''electricity''.
*''Plants'' cannot move on their own, and therefore cannot attack other ''plants''.
**Explanation as to why Grass-types resist Grass-type attacks.
*Regardless if the ''ground'' is wet or dry, or hard or soft, ''plant-life'' can always grow if in the right climate conditions.
*''Rain'', if not acidic and in average amounts, cannot kill fields of grass.

=====Weaknesses=====
*''Insects'' often eat ''leaves'' and other plants in their diets.
*''Fire'' is stronger when provided with oxygen, which is exactly what ''flowers'' provide.
*''Birds'', such as crows, will often attack farm ''crops'' for food, often destroying said crops.
*''Cold'' environments are often unsuitable for ''plants'' to grow. Flowers will wilt and trees will lose their leaves in Winter.
*''Pesticides'', weed-killers, and other toxins, will poison and kill ''plants'' if not used in a proper manner.{{unsigned|Frushil!}}

::::One can just as easily say that the origin and name origin sections of Pokemon articles are speculation as well. There is reason behind many of the type match ups, so it should be added, even if it's just to cover a few of the match-up reasonings.

== Difference between Primary and Secondary types ==

I believe the only difference between Primary and Secondary types is mostly due to the basics of the Pokémon in question: Primary type is what it will always be, while Secondary type may change.

Example: Surskit is a Bug/Water type. It will always be a Bug, even after evolution, but as it evolves it's Secondary type no longer applies.

This would also explain why Flying types are always secondary, as they are only "flying" when in flight. Otherwise, when on land, they are simply what their Primary-type defines (Pidgeys are Normal, Zapdos is Electric, and so on).

I believe the games assume Flying-type Pokémon are always airborne when in battle, but it would be interesting to see if, in future generations, they add the option to tell a flying Pokémon to land, hence "losing" its Flying-type temporarily (for strategic reasons).

Anyway, this is just a theory. If I missed any evidence of it being otherwise, let me know :)

EDIT: Actually, I just noticed that there ARE some exceptions, where it's the Primary-type that changes in evolution, but so far that only seems to happen when you use an unusual form of evolution (like Onix losing its Rock-type into Steel-type when trading it with a particular item). This seems to hint that both types can change, but the Primary-type refers to the nature of the Pokémon (harder to change), while the Secondary-type is mostly a complementary part of its existence.

== Type Ordering ==

Can someone please explain why the types are listed in this order:

Normal
Fighting
Flying
Poison
Ground
Rock
Bug
Ghost
Steel
Fire
Water
Electric
Psychic
Ice
Dragon
Dark

The ordering is messed up & completely wrong, the ordering used in the manual of Red/Blue, & the Diamond/Pearl Poketch type matchup application, & probably other official sources is this:

Normal
Fire
Water
Electric
Grass
Ice
Fighting
Poison
Ground
Flying
Psychic
Bug
Rock
Ghost
Dragon
Dark
Steel

Since this is the official ordering, should this not be the order Bulbapedia uses? If it is due to the former Physical/Special split then it really needs to be changed as it is 4 years out of date. [[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 21:16, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
:Go into the Pokédex in any Gen IV game and search by type. The list of selections comes up in the following order:

:#Steel
:#Fire
:#Water

::My fail, I have just checked the Pokedex in Gen II, III & IV, & while the Gen II order is the Normal Fire etc, the Gen III/IV order is Normal Fighting etc. Odd that they would use the new order for the Dex & the old one for the Poketch.

I don't see why this page is at [[elemental type]]. I have never heard it called this by any official source. I have always heard it called simply "type", or in the [[Official Pokémon Handbook]] (which is Generation I, and all subsequent Official Pokémon Handbooks use "type"), "element".

== Items and Abilities ==

Wouldn't it be a good idea to include a section on each individual type's page that lists all the items and abilities that boost or reduce the power of that type, and how much by. Also, it would be good to include abilities that prevent certain types of moves from working e.g. levitate. So fire's might look like:

===Offensive===

{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{Fire color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{Fire color}};"
|-
! style="background:#{{HP color}}; width:60px;" | Item
! style="background:#{{Attack color}}; width:60px;" | Power Modification
|- align="center" style="background:#fff;"

{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{Fire color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{Fire color}};"
|-

! style="background:#{{Attack color}}; width:60px;" | Power Modification
|- align="center" style="background:#fff;"
|Blaze
|x1.5

===Defensive===

{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{Fire color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{Fire color}};"

== Idea to avoid confusion on individual type pages ==

I think it is confusing to have Pokemon's old type status (such as Magnemite and Magneton being listed as pure Electric) in the lists on the individual pages. Now with the somewhat major retconning of Fairy type, where quite a few Pokemon are going to get retyped (or at least have Fairy type added), I think it is a good time to think about taking off these old type statuses, that do not represent the current type status of the Pokemon in question. We could make a page called "Former Pokemon Types" and list those Pokemon, the old type, the new type, and what generation it was changed. Right now we only have to fix Magnemite, Magneton, Rotom, and any Pokemon that get confirmed to get or become Fairy type. Anyone else have any opinions they'd like to share?

:(edit conflict) Listing out all of them is trivial and would take up an enormous amount of space, so I'm cautiously against. As a side note, your calculations are entirely fallacious. You've included the Fairy type in your calculation of how many permutations exist/are unused, which inflates your numbers because we don't know most of the Fairy-types that will exist yet. Plus, you're counting primary/secondary type separately, which we don't do on Bulbapedia; Ghost/Dark and Dark/Ghost are exactly the same thing as far as we're concerned, because they're exactly the same thing as far as the game's elemental rock-paper-scissors system is concerned. The ''correct'' number of combinations is 45 unused (+ 14 if we're including Fairy and going by its type combinations that have been revealed so far) and 153 total (+ 18 with Fairy). And yes, that is still a large enough number that I think it would take up undue space to list them all out.

== Changing Type ==

Forgive me if we've already got this information documented somewhere, but a Google search restricted to bulbagarden.net didn't turn up any promising results, so I'm gonna suggest it. Basically, there are moves and abilities that change a Pokémon's type(s), but there doesn't seem to be a list anywhere. Thus, I propose that there should be a {{red link|List of moves that change type}} and a {{red link|List of abilities that change type}}. I've identified the moves and abilities that can change a Pokémon's type(s):

:Moves:
:*{{m|Camouflage}}
:*{{m|Conversion}}
:*{{m|Conversion 2}}
:*{{m|Reflect Type}}
:*{{m|Soak}}
:Abilities:

==New Type Chart==

Okay, so we have a new type chart. Looking at the Fairy-type page, it appears that we are taking it into consideration when making the "Battle Properties" section of each type. But this is the only one to do so. Why not do the same to each of the other seventeen types?

Types that have changed from Gen V to Gen VI:

* Fighting = Is now weak to Fairy and Fairy is resistant to it
* Poison = Now resists Fairy and Fairy is weak to it
* Bug = Fairy is resistant to it
* Ghost = Steel is no longer resistant to it
* Steel = Now resists Fairy, no longer resists Ghost or Dark, and Fairy is weak to it
* Fire = Now resists Fairy
* Dragon = Is now weak to Fairy and Fairy is immune to it
* Dark = Is now weak to Fairy, Fairy is resistant to it, and Steel is no longer resistant to it

So yeah, if anyone could update these pages, it would be helpful.--[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 21:28, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

== How many of what type? ==

==Permutations versus Combinations==
Why are there 324 permutations but only 171 combinations? I understand that Primary/Secondary & Secondary/Primary are counted as one permutation, but when I divide 324 in half I get 162.

:Consider the single-typed Pokemon separately (after all, only the dual-types really permute). Dual-typed Pokemon then have 17*18=306 possible permutations and half as many possible combinations (153).

=="As of Generation V, there are 108 different type combinations. A move may have only one type."==
That statement needs to be updated to "As of Generation VI, there are 129 different type combinations." That number came from [[List of type combinations by abundance]], by the way.

And what about the [[Flying Press]] issue? I know it's technically a Fighting-type move but I think it's at least worth mentioning. [[User:Karasuhebi|Karasuhebi]] ([[User talk:Karasuhebi|talk]]) 05:24, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

== Abundance of types ==

I thought it would be convenient to have a sortable list of types by their abundance in each generation; I realize there's already a list of all type combinations in Generation VI, but this is a more concise summary; I copied it over here once I was done, because I saw that someone deleted the table while I was working on it in mainspace. I'm actually surprised that ''this'' hasn't been done already, considering the detailed page on type combinations. [[User:Eattre|Eattre]] ([[User talk:Eattre|talk]]) 00:49, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

This chart counts [[Form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon, just as the articles on each individual type do; it counts the total number of each type as of each generation, not the number ''introduced'' in each generation.

== Type icons ==

Gen VI games brought new type icons. Bulbapedia uses icons from R/S/E or some fan-made icons, I think. However, I think it is time to upgrade icons to latest version.

== Outdated type charts ==

As someone who likes to go back and play Generations {{Gen|I}} (before {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Steel}} were added) and {{Gen|II}}-{{Gen|V}} (before {{t|Fairy}} was added), I believe those "previous type charts" should be added to this page, instead of on their own page referenced below the current chart.

== redirect confusion ==

with the virtual console releases of gen I, the gen I type chart is going to be a little more important.

==Type effectiveness==
Before I reformulated huge parts of the page, it basically said the a type can be super effective, not very effective or ineffective against a Pokémon (albeit weirdly worded). I've reworded it to say that ''the type of a damaging move'' (typically) defines that; so, something like "Ground is super effective against Pikachu" is not really supported (but "Ground-type moves are super effective against Pikachu" is). If indeed you feel this really needs to be supported as well, we may discuss to reformulate that part, and potentially move it back further to the top of the article (where it's not yet speaking of moves).

== Calculating number of Pokémon in total as of Generation VII ==

For each individual type page, when I calculate/count how many Pokémon are there, in case of Pokémon who got Alolan forms in which type is the same as their normal forms (e.g. Raichu which is a pure Electric-type Pokémon, while Alolan Raichu is a dual Electric/Psychic-type Pokémon), do they count twice or only once? --[[User:Cinday123|<span style="color:pink">Cinday123</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Cinday123|<span style="color:lightblue">Talk</span>]])''</small> 09:43, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

== "Typeless" ==

Just to clarify, "typeless" is basically what we (and others) seem to say whenever we're referring to something that is 1× effective against any type of Pokémon. I doubt that there's like a type that's "typeless". Instead, at least in older generations, whenever something is intended to be typeless/unaffected by types, they seem to have manually assigned some kind of artificial/default type (the ??? type, or the Normal type with removed type effectiveness). So, I'd be very happy if, in general, we weren't trying to treat typeless as an actual type, but more like an intended lack of type (or something like that). Saying something is typeless seems to be a rather short way to say that we just don't know (or care) what the actual type is but that it is 1× effective against all types of Pokémon.

I'm not really sure, but I'm really uncomfortable with including a general explanation of what typeless is, if only because it's not really consistent. For now, I've just reworded it, but I'd like to have consent/consensus before eventually removing it entirely.

:I'm also not sure whether Weather Ball in shadowy aura should be included or not. Functionally it's identical, but apparently it's technically ???-type (I don't know if that means anyone actually looked at the code and discovered it is ???-type, or if it's just labelled that because that's what it is functionally). There is also the case of all damage that {{a|Magic Guard}} can block being technically typeless. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 11:55, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
::Just to clarify, I'm against including this at all. I believe "type" is not a property of damage (all it can do is be "super effective" etc. because of type interactions). And I believe "typeless" is not some special type (so it cannot be identical to some other type), but rather the attempt (of fans and researchers) to concisely describe that there are no type-related effects. And for Magic Guard, that's just indirect damage, I think the wording there is just fine. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 12:24, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
::: Might as well add my two cents. I thought it would be worth adding since "typeless" is mentioned a few times around the wiki. Despite you saying that type isn't a property of damage the opening line of this article states "Types (Japanese: タイプ Type) are properties for Pokémon and their moves.". As we have found there are situations where a Pokémon or move is without type (ie typeless), so I think if that's the opening line of this page then it needs to at least be mentioned that it's not always the case. Pre genV it's debatable whether these situations were truely typeless, or had been assigned ???, but "typeless" continues post gen V.

:::How do we know that a pure flying in gen 4 becomes typeless as the rosost article states rather than ??? ? Why would they manually program it become normal in gen 5 if the games could handle "typeless"? (i checked, it still happens in gen 7 so it must be a manual programming decision rather than normal being the default type, as we now know burn up can leave you with a truely typeless pokemon). My guess is that before gen 7, all pokemon/moves needed a type in the code and so ??? was created as the default typeless type. In gen 5 they got rid of ??? because it was too situational, so they programmed roost to become normal rather than ??? on pure flying types. In gen 7, they invented burn up and made it so a pokemon/move can be without a type and not crash the game. I think the only functional difference between ??? and typeless is that ??? RD probably would have received stab, if ??? was still around and that's what type burned up fire types got. [[User:Jmvb|JMVB - I don't what to put here.]] ([[User talk:Jmvb|talk]]) 13:28, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
::::Thanks for all your considerations. I just want to say explicitly that I totally understand why you added this section. I just don't think "typeless" is a (common) type; instead, I believe it should be fairly evident what it means whenever it is used elsewhere and/or should be explained there. For the properties argument, I think there isn't an actual lack of type, but just something that's supposed to look and feel like it. I'm not aware of any move or Pokémon that can be type''less''; I think they are Normal/???/whatever-type, just (are supposed to) behave as if they had no type. (I still assume this is the case for Revelation Dance, even if it turns out that you cannot ever observe that difference via {{a|Color Change}} or any other means. In case there technically really is an actual - placeholder - typeless-type now, I guess that's something that has changed; placeholder data usually has an index of 0, and that's what Normal-type has.)
::::As for Roost, our article says it becomes ???-type in Gen IV (and Normal-type starting Gen V, in which ??? has been removed entirely), not typeless. And as far as I know, there has never been STAB for ???. My personal suggestion for why they didn't make Roost users truely "typeless" (but Normal-type) is that that's actually more work, and they didn't care. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 14:29, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
::::: Apologies, it's actually the {{t|???}} article that states "In Generation IV, if a pure Flying-type Pokémon uses Roost, it becomes typeless[citation needed] until the end of the turn, effectively behaving as if it were ???-type. ". So there's a bit of inconsistency on the site then that can only be resolved by looking at the code. I'd be interested to see what happens to colour change Kecleon when hit with typeless RD, I'd be happy to try that with someone over wifi when Bank is released [[User:Jmvb|JMVB - I don't what to put here.]] ([[User talk:Jmvb|talk]]) 15:33, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::: In regards to whether damage can have a type, I think it is probably useful to think of it as if it can, since moves like Judgment or Hidden Power are normal-type, but the damage they deal is affected by type matchups as if it was a different type. I think it's just a matter of how you choose to think about it, more than anything else. I think the wording of the page was clearer when it used the idea of damage being typeless, but that's just my thoughts on the matter. [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 22:12, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
{{indent}}Alright, I guess we're now at a point where it is really helpful to explain in more (lengthy) detail why I'm pushing real hard (by my standards) to avoid saying damage has a type:
#It does not seem to be supported by official wording. I didn't exhaustively search for it yesterday, but from what I found, no in-game description seems to say that. In fact, they might even ''avoid'' that wording delibarately: e.g., {{m|Hidden Power}} "varies in type" (the move, not the damage it deals), and {{cat|damage-reducing Berries|type-resist Berries}} weaken "damage taken from supereffective X-type attacks" (not just "supereffective X-type damage").
#If we assign a type to damage, we're running into many issues. What ''type'' of damage does {{weather|hail}} deal, or [[recoil]]? Even if we restrict it to attacks only, what ''type'' of damage does {{m|Flying Press}} deal? Or {{m|Seismic Toss}}?
#There's no need to do that. I admit, it is a very convenient shortcut to have in mind in many cases. But in my opinion, everything is just as clear when we say things like "The type of Judgment depends on..."; it's even ''more'' correct and precise, because the type really actually changes, and things like {{a|Color Change}} and item boosts depend on the actual type of a move.
Unrelated to all that, I seem to sense that there's no agreement on removing the Typeless section here. If that's the case, that's totally fine, and I'll happily drop that. My opinion isn't more important than anyone else's, and Jmbv at least seems to thinks it's helpful (and they're not missing some important argument from what I can tell); the only reasonable consensus then seems to be to not remove it.

For Roost in Generation IV, I think there might actually be no way to tell the difference in-game (or in other words, it doesn't matter ''how'' it is typeless). I ''might'' be personally trying to pursue it further at some point, and I have some opinions on what it might be; so if you want to know what I think and why, please feel free to open a discussion at Roost's talk page (which I'm watching). I think it's a largely independent discussion. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 08:38, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
:The problem with the way you're looking at it is you see "typeless" as another type. Yes, this isn't stated anywhere in the games. It's not to be treated as a type. What typeless is is lack of a type. And this is how it should be seen. And there are things in the game that can lack a type. Struggle and recoil damage are both lacking in type as no Pokemon gains STAB from them. Certain Pokemon can become typeless under certain circumstances (i.e. Arcanine and Typhlosion after using Burn Up). This means they don't gain STAB from anything and have no weaknesses. The fact these are in the game proves that "Typeless" is a thing. It's not a type like Water or Dragon, but it's the lack of a type. And it should be seen that way. ☆<span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:green">The</span>]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]]</span>☆ 09:53, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

:::Yes, but what Nescientist seems to think is that if a Pokemon has no types, it gains a new type called "Typeless". And if that's not what they think, it comes across like that.

::::Interesting that you got that from what they said; what I get from reading Nescientist's stuff is the exact opposite. The way I see it, Typelessness is not a type in the same way water or fire is a type. In some of the older games, this may have been implemented using the ??? type, but since gen 5 that's not how it's done. Not sure how it actually is done--I haven't seen the games' code, of course--but it acts like the pokemon has no type. Or the move, in some cases. Honestly, at this point, I've kind of forgotten just what this whole debate was about at this point, so I'll let you all figure it out. I don't think I have anything else useful to add.{{unsigned|Xolroc}}

== Revelation Dance and favoring primary type ==

Hello,
just wondering if Revelation Dance is the first mechanic in the games to actually favor one type over the other and "unequalize" the primary and secondary types?
I thought that all game mechanics before this considered first and second types equal; thus Water/Rock was the same as Rock/Water. However, with Revelation Dance that isn't the case. [[User:SeireeniKeni|SeireeniKeni]] ([[User talk:SeireeniKeni|talk]]) 02:23, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

== Confusion damage in Generation II ==

(It should be easy to test, if someone has a save file.) In Generation II, confusion damage apparently never assigns a type before calculating confusion damage (and it skips type effectiveness routines etc.), but it also runs through the type item modifier routines, and tries to check against the move's type (which has not been set for confusion damage). What I want to know is whether there may still be a type left in that variable (from the previously used move, I guess), so that confusion damage can actually be increased by type items. So, is someone able to do two battles with Normal-type moves only, one with an equipped Pink/Polkadot Bow, one without (or similar with another type)? If it can be increased, confusion damage should be different by ~10%. It'd be pretty cool if someone could. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 00:32, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

: I've just tested this, and Pink Bow does do this. Specifically it boosts confusion damage when the pokemon fails to use a normal move. I had my pokemon hold mystic water and confusion damage was boosted when it failed at a water move. I think this is more a glitch than a property of type though.

: I tested this in a link battle and noticed another oddity. The random factor of the damage calculation seems to be fixed when you go into a link battle. The first time I did it was fixed at the top damage roll, which was very useful because confusion damage is so low and type enhancing items are so bad that you need a high/low damage rolls to confirm if they've been boosted. I went back in to the link battle with mystic water, and this time the damage roll was not at the top but it was fixed on another value. This damage roll thing could well be an emulator error (I was using bgb), or it could be intentionally fixed at the start of each battle by GF to prevent desyncs. Can anyone confirm whether or not this is a thing? [[User:Jmvb|JMVB - literally it doesn't stand for anything]] ([[User talk:Jmvb|talk]]) 17:00, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

== Naturally learning attacks of every type ==

I can't seem to find it now, but I remember reading Mewtwo's trivia section a while back and seeing something like "Mewtwo can learn damaging moves of every type except Dragon." Since then, I've counted the type diversity of every learnset I've seen on Bulbapedia and Smogon, and it seems like the only Pokémon who can learn attacks of every type is Mew. The ones who have type-changing gimmicks can't – Arceus can't learn Fairy moves, Silvally is missing Fighting, Ground, Psychic, Grass, and Fairy, and Kecleon doesn't have Fairy, Poison, and Dragon. I've also checked Smogon favorites like Gengar, Tyranitar, and Absol that sell themselves on diverse coverage, but they're always missing some. If Mew's the only exception to this, should it be mentioned as a pattern in learnsets? [[User:High5|High5]] ([[User talk:High5|talk]]) 22:40, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
:I believe you've forgotten (and I did, initially, as well) that Arceus' Judgment and Silvally's Multi-Attack effectively give them universal type diversity. I think that counts enough to make Mew not the only exception. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 22:49, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
::Pumpkinking, I'm not speaking about moves that can call other types; Natural Gift and Hidden Power belong to [[:Category:Moves_that_change_type|the same category]] as Multi-Attack and Judgment and have almost universal distribution, so if that category's counted then it means every Pokémon has perfect coverage. Instead of those moves, plus Sketch and Mimic and whatnot, I'm talking about how Mew has dedicated attacks from every type in its learnset while Arceus doesn't. The weird thing is that before the Fairy type was introduced, Arceus counted in this sense too, but it's not compatible with the Dazzling Gleam TM even though it seems like it should be.

== Type listing by commonality ==

This information seems to be available on each of the type pages themselves, which is where I pulled these numbers and compiled the following list (I'm just interested in statistics in general). While this is a simple list (doesn't break it down by pure types or hybrid types or the like), it would be concise to have it on the Types page itself, as users otherwise have to do what I did and click through each page in turn, and then order them by the number/commonality (which, again, is stated on each individual type page). Of course, it will need updating once Generation VIII hits, but so will everything else and each of the Type pages themselves...

I'm also not sure the best format (table or list) and the best way to say some of these ( # Pokemon of this type[..?], #th rarest[..?] ) where it sounds...right. Reading it, it makes sense what the numbers are, but I feel there's a better way to word what each thing is than I've managed to do...

Type commonality as of Generation VII:
Total number[#] Pokemon of this type [pure and dual-types], Percentage[%] of all Pokemon of this type, #th most common (#th rarest) that this type is overall

Water:
133, 16.4%, 1st most common (18th rarest)

Normal:
109, 13.5%, 2nd most common (17th rarest)

Flying:
101, 12.5%, 3rd most common (16th rarest)

Grass:
98, 12.1%, 4th most common (15th rarest)

Psychic:
85, 10.5%, 5th most common (14th rarest)

Bug:
77, 9.5%, 6th most common (13th rarest)

Fire:
68, 8.4%, 7th most common (12th rarest)

Poison:
66, 8.2%, 8th most common (11th rarest)

Ground:
65, 8.0%, 9th most common (10th rarest)

Rock:
60, 7.4%, 10th most common (9th rarest)

Fighting:
57, 7.0%, 11th most common (8th rarest)

Steel:
55, 6.8%, 12th most common (7th rarest)

Dark:
54, 6.7%, 13th most common (6th rarest)

Electric:
51, 6.3%, 14th most common (5th rarest)

Dragon:
50, 6.2%, 15th most common (3rd rarest) [TIED]

Fairy:
50, 6.2%, 15th most common (3rd rarest) [TIED]

Ghost:
46, 5.7%, 17th most common (2nd rarest)

Ice:
40, 4.9%, 18th most common (1st rarest)

Note the TIED for 15th most common (3rd rarest), meaning there isn't a listed "16th most common" or "(4th rarest)" {{unsigned|Renathras}}

== Is there any particular order that the types are listed in? ==

I would think there would be, I just don't know what it is. I do have an idea of where it could be, though;

One part of the Pokédex's Search Menu is Search by Type. I was wondering if the order that the types are in has remained the same throughout generations, or if it changes in each game (I don't know how long this has been a thing, the earliest game I played was White 2, or Ranger if you count that).

The Pokédex also shows the different forms of Silvally and Arceus, so whatever order those are it could be the "correct" one.

I've always used a certain order (the origins of which I do not wish to struggle looking for in an internet search): Grass, Poison, Bug, Fire, Water, Ice, Electric, Fighting, Ground, Rock, Psychic, Ghost, Normal, Flying, Dragon, Dark, Steel, Fairy.

If nobody is able to find an "official" list, feel free to tell me about an unofficial one that makes sense.

:Not sure about official order, but I personally just use alphabetical order (Bug, Dark... Steel, Water) although you could also use their average position for how early they appear in regional dexes. Using each region's 1st Pokédex (and adding later-added Steel- or Fairy-typing), you get the following order: Grass, Fire, Water, Flying, Normal, Bug, Psychic, Fighting, Ground, Electric, Poison, Dark, Steel, Fairy, Rock, Ghost, Ice, Dragon.

== 19 Types??? ==

When Stellar was announced, it was announced as the 19th Tera type, not the 19th type in general. Those are not the same thing, so where has Stellar been referred to as a type? [[User:Veledwin|Veledwin]] ([[User talk:Veledwin|talk]]) 23:10, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

:I do see your point, but fwiw the moves Tera Blast and Tera Starstorm ''are'' Stellar-type under the right conditions, whereas Tera Type refers to the Pokémon itself. [[User:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;color:#32b761">'''Land'''</span>]][[User talk:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;color:#5f6775"><small>'''fish7'''</small></span>]] 10:58, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

== Non Pokemon Opponents ==
Hello, I have a question.
Under specific type there is section where it stated '''non Pokemon opponents''' (example those Black and White Opponents) and they have designated types from games they debuted ( example F-00 is Normal/Steel, Monika is normal etc) When it comes to other non Pokemon creatures like (example '''Bittercold, Void Shadows, Dark Matter, Dark Rust etc etc''') I notice they don't have types section ( like example you click ice type and under '''non Pokemon opponents you see Bittercold as Ice type because it's ice opponent''').
So my question is, so those non Pokemon opponents as Bittercold, Void shadows, Dark Rust, many non Pokemon from other games, manga or anime etc - they don't have types like Pokestar Studios opponents? Or do you guys only count in type for those non Pokemon opponents(creatures) from main games (aka games made by Game Freak only?
Thanks in advance and sorry for confusing question! [[User:Aruman|Aruman]] ([[User talk:Aruman|talk]]) 13:07, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

==Cerulean City==
[[File:Cerulean City PE.png|thumb|Cerulean City]]

[[Cerulean City]] is a beautiful city with flowing water and blooming flowers. It is located between {{rt|4|Kanto}}, {{rt|24|Kanto}}, {{rt|9|Kanto}}, and {{rt|5|Kanto}}.

===Pokémon Center===
====Move Tutor====
Visit the Pokémon Center and speak to the {{tc|Tamer}} near the counter. He happens to be a {{DL|Move Tutor|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Move Tutor}} and offers to teach [[Signature moves|exclusive moves]] to your {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}.

====Time for a Trade====
The girl sitting on the sofa to the left of the counter is hoping to trade Pokémon. She is hoping to get a {{p|Rattata}} and is willing to part with her {{rf|Alolan}} Rattata in exchange. Hers is a {{2t|Dark|Normal}} Pokémon, so it takes extra damage from {{type|Fighting}} attacks but has an advantage against {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon. Dark-type Pokémon are few and far between in the [[Kanto]] region, so Alolan Rattata can make a useful addition to your team. This trade may be conducted multiple times.

===A Rare Addition===
Visit the house next to the Pokémon Center to find [[Melanie|a girl]] who cares for injured and abandoned Pokémon. She has nursed a {{p|Bulbasaur}} back to health, but now it needs a caring Trainer to raise it properly. If you have caught at least 30 Pokémon, she asks if you would take care of the young Pokémon.

===Gym Badge Trivia===
The northwest house belongs to a man who gives a bit of trivia for each [[Badge]]. According to him, [[Celadon Gym]]'s {{badge|Rainbow}} is the most expensive to make, and [[Cinnabar Gym]]'s {{badge|Volcano}} is made from hardened lava. Most Trainers aren't sure if [[Saffron Gym]]'s {{badge|Marsh}} is real gold or not!

===Bike Shop===
The house in the southwest part of town belongs to a man known as the Bike Maniac. He has collected several different kinds, including models like the [[Acro Bike]] and [[Mach Bike]]. Examine each one, including the bike hanging on the wall, and listen to his long-winded description of each to receive a set of 5 [[Heart Scale]]s.

===Breaking, Entering===
The house in the northeast is currently blocked off by [[Officer Jenny]]. It seems that [[Team Rocket]] has broken into the home and stolen [[TM10|a valuable item]] from its residents. Nothing can be done to remedy this at the moment, so set your sights on the Gym instead.

===Cerulean Gym===
[[File:Cerulean Gym LGPE Concept Art.jpg|thumb|300px|Cerulean Gym]]

|- style="background: #FFF;"
| style="padding: 0.5em;" | '''Cerulean City Pokémon Gym<br>Leader: Misty'''<br>The Tomboyish Mermaid
|}

The [[Cerulean Gym]] specializes in {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Water-type moves are super effective against {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, and {{type|Rock}} Pokémon, while Water-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Electric}}- and {{type|Grass}} moves. When entering the Gym, the guide warns that [[Misty]] is a powerful Trainer and that all challengers must show a Pokémon of at least level 15 to proceed. With a {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Bulbasaur}} in tow, beating the Cerulean Gym should be an easy task. Other Grass Pokémon—{{p|Oddish}} and {{p|Bellsprout}}—can be found on the nearby {{rt|24|Kanto}}, as well. Be sure to visit the Move Tutor in the Pokémon Center, as Pikachu's {{m|Zippy Zap}} and Eevee's {{m|Buzzy Buzz}} attacks will be a big help.

[[Misty]] leads with her {{p|Psyduck}}. Neither of its moves are very strong, but all of the available {{t|Grass}} Pokémon up to this point have also been part-{{t|Poison}}, leaving them vulnerable to {{t|Psychic}} attacks like {{m|Confusion}}. Her {{p|Starmie}} is a bigger threat. Its high {{stat|Special Attack}} lets it deal a good bit of damage with {{m|Swift}}. Not only can {{m|Scald}} sometimes cause a {{status|Burn}}, but as it matches Starmie's type, it also receives a [[Same-type attack bonus]]. Use your {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}'s new {{t|Electric}} attack to take it down before it can cause too much trouble.

After the battle, [[Misty]] awards you the {{badge|Cascade}}. Having two Badges ensures obedience from all Pokémon up to level 30. She also gives you {{TM|29|Scald}} as a prize.

===Rival Battle 3===
When you head toward {{rt|24|Kanto}}, {{ga|Trace}} comes running toward you from the bridge. He has seen something so bewildering that all he can do is to draw you into battle. He leads with his {{p|Pidgey}}, so start off with {{t|Electric}}- and {{type|Rock}} attacks. His {{p|Oddish}} can {{status|Poison}} its target with a toxic powder, so use {{t|Flying}} attacks to knock it out quickly. Aside from having grown a few levels, his {{p|Eevee}} is much the same as it was in the previous battle.

Afterward, your friend manages to calm himself down and tells you of a house up ahead where a famous Pokémon fanatic is said to live. He paid a visit hoping to see some rare Pokémon, but instead of finding the homeowner, he found a talking Pokémon instead! He tries to convince you to stay away before running off.

==Route 24==
[[File:Kanto Route 24 PE.png|thumb|Route 24]]

{{rt|24|Kanto}} stretches north from [[Cerulean City]] to {{rt|25|Kanto}}. Most of the area is occupied by a river and the Nugget Bridge that crosses it.

===Nugget Bridge===
There are five Trainers to be fought on the famous Nugget Bridge. When all five are defeated, a man at the bridge's north end will reward you with a [[Nugget]], a bit of gold that can be sold for a high price. The man then reveals himself as a [[Team Rocket]] Grunt and tries to persuade you to join the group, and draws you into battle when you refuse.

===A Rare Addition===
Speak to [[Damian|the boy]] on the northwest hill. He has been thinking that he should release his {{p|Charmander}} because he is no good at raising Pokémon. If you have caught at least 50 Pokémon, he decides to give Charmander to you, instead.

==Route 25==
[[File:Kanto Route 25 PE.png|thumb|Route 25]]

{{rt|25|Kanto}} leads eastward from {{rt|24|Kanto}}. The path winds its way through a forest before it ends overlooking the sea. The [[Sea Cottage]] is located on the east side.

When you step inside, it seems like Bill must be away, until your {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} notices a {{p|Nidorino}} in the corner. But it's not just any Nidorino. Bill's latest experiment has gone awry and combined his DNA with that of a Pokémon! He needs your help, so once he has stepped into the teleporter, inspect his PC to run his Cell Separation System to undo the change and return him to normal. As a token of gratitude, he gives you a pair of [[S.S. Ticket]]s, which grant access to the [[S.S. Anne|luxury cruise ship]] currently docked in [[Vermilion City]] to the south.

====Bill's Legendary Research====
Before leaving the cape, you can exit and re-enter the cottage and inspect Bill's PC to read his reports on the locations of the [[legendary bird]]s. This adds {{p|Articuno|three}} {{p|Zapdos|new}} {{p|Moltres|pages}} to your Pokédex.

==Cerulean City==
===Justice, Served===
Once you return to [[Cerulean City]], you find a {{p|Squirtle}} running off with one of [[Officer Jenny]]'s Poké Balls, with the officer reluctantly abandoning her post to chase it down. Step inside to find obvious signs of a break-in, like muddy footprints and broken furniture. Your {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} even points out a large hole in the wall! Walk out through the gap to find and confront the thief.

When he is defeated, the Team Rocket Grunt gives up the stolen {{TM|10|Dig}} before fleeing the scene. If you try to return the item to its owner, the man allows you to keep it as thanks for your effort. He has decided to train his {{p|Diglett}} so that it learns the move on its own.

==Route 5==
[[File:Kanto Route 5 PE.png|thumb|Route 5]]

{{rt|5|Kanto}} is a scenic road that runs downhill from [[Cerulean City]] to [[Saffron City]]. The [[Underground Path (Kanto Routes 5-6)|first]] of the region's two Underground Paths begins here and runs southward underneath Saffron City to re-emerge on {{rt|6|Kanto}}.

===Pokémon Day Care===
The house on the hill is the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. The elderly woman inside will raise one Pokémon at a time while you are away. A Pokémon left here will gain one [[Experience|experience point]] for every step taken. If you bought the {{p|Magikarp}} near [[Mt. Moon]], this is a good way to raise it. The downside is that she will make every decision, so she may end up deleting a move you would like to keep. She charges {{pdollar}}100, plus another {{pdollar}}100 for every new level, to return a Pokémon.

====Mr. Hyper====
An elderly man known as [[Mr. Hyper]] can be found here, as well. He says that if you ever earn the {{pkmn|Champion}} title, be sure to come back and visit him.

===Meet Up with Trace===
{{ga|Trace}} is waiting for you outside the [[Underground Path (Kanto Routes 5-6)|Underground Path]] building. As it is impossible to reach [[Saffron City]] at the moment, he suggests following the tunnel to {{rt|6|Kanto}} instead. He notices something sparkly in your hair, and gives you the [[Revive]] he just found before giving out a couple more to help with the next Gym. Your friend notices the two [[S.S. Ticket]]s you have, and he happily accepts the extra ticket before entering the tunnel.

===Underground Path===
Many people drop items along the underground passage. Pay attention to your {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, as it has a knack for noticing hidden items and will wag its tail faster as you approach them.

== Better integration ==

Is there a way we could better integrate the walkthroughs within the game location articles in some form, such as an intuitive template or something similar? For instance, if I'm at [[Lake of Rage]] in HeartGold, and checked its wiki page for directions, a mention of or something directing me to [[Appendix:HeartGold and SoulSilver walkthrough/Section 11]] would be immensely helpful, especially if a reader is unfamiliar with the wiki. A way for a reader to find the walkthroughs from within the wiki page, instead of say googling the terms that then directs to the wiki walkthrough section. We currently have this browse namespace, the category walkthroughs, and a link to the walkthrough in the game articles (not the location articles). They still feel somehow disconnected from the average wiki experience. Suggestions or any input is welcome. I am no expert at templates, so I just have the idea with no technical skill to work on the hypothetical template in my userspace or play around with its itegration.

Does no one have [[New Pokémon Snap]] because the walkthrough page is empty.

This and other pages (I will work on [[Pokémon Quest]]) are in desperate need of information.

==Blurb==


<i>After the World Coronation Series finals and the crowning of Monarch Leon, an aggressive Gigantamax Drednaw threatens the stadium! Our heroes spring into action, and Pikachu suddenly Gigantamaxes, saving the stadium and everyone in it! Leon is impressed, and he’s also amazed that Ash doesn’t have a Dynamax Band. When Ash and Goh finally meet the Monarch, Ash challenges him to a battle…and Leon agrees! He lends Ash a Dynamax Band, and the battle between Pikachu and Charizard begins. With both Pokémon Gigantamaxing, the excitement reaches a new level! Leon wins, but Ash is grateful for the opportunity, and he looks forward to a rematch someday…in an official tournament!</i>

==Plot==
Continuing from the end of the [[JN012|previous episode]], a [[Gigantamax]] {{OBP|Drednaw|recurring}} is rampaging at [[Wyndon Stadium]]. As its head enters the battlefield in pursuit of {{TRT}}, {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] decide to do something about the situation. They rush outside, where Drednaw has retracted its long neck and looks down on them. They try to tell it to calm down, but it just attacks them instead. Ash figures they must {{pkmn|battle}} it to draw it away from the stadium. Goh asks if he has any plans of how to fight a [[Dynamax]] Pokémon, and Ash casually answers that he doesn't, saying that it just gives them all the more reason to try. He tells Goh that he can stand back, but he refuses to do so if Ash is fighting.

The two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s start attacking, but {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}}'s {{m|Double Kick}} do nothing against the giant Pokémon. As Drednaw extends its neck again, Ash tries to stop it with Pikachu's {{m|Electroweb}}, but it ends up only momentarily slowing Drednaw down, forcing Ash and Goh to run. Drednaw chases them, but it soon extends its neck to its maximum length, preventing it from chasing them any further. The duo and their Pokémon have stumbled upon a bunch of glowing red cracks in the ground, with red lights flowing out of them and into Pikachu. Just as Goh [[JN005|recognizes]] the phenomenon, Pikachu suddenly starts growing giant, and Ash and Goh back off in a panic as Pikachu Gigantamaxes before their eyes. All of them, including Pikachu, are surprised by this sudden transformation, but their moment of astonishment is cut short as Drednaw prepares to attack again. Ash orders a {{m|Quick Attack}}, but with Pikachu's new, massive form, his usually great speed is reduced to slow lumbering, giving Drednaw plenty of time to use {{m|G-Max Stonesurge}}. The [[G-Max Move]] causes Pikachu to stumble back and hit the stadium, shaking it and causing panic inside. Ash next calls for an {{m|Iron Tail}}, and as Pikachu prepares to attack, {{an|Leon}} arrives on the scene, surprised to see a Gigantamax Pikachu. As Pikachu executes {{m|Max Steelspike}}, successfully hitting Drednaw, Leon is even more surprised to notice that Ash doesn't have a [[Dynamax Band]], despite him clearly commanding a Gigantamax Pokémon in battle.

As Drednaw starts using {{m|Max Rockfall}}, Leon calls down to Ash from the balcony he's on, telling him to have Pikachu use {{m|G-Max Volt Crash}}. Ash follows the advice and calls for a G-Max Volt Crash, which not only ends up stopping Max Rockfall on its tracks, but also sends Drednaw flying back. Upon landing, it quickly reverts to its normal form and size. Ash and Goh are amazed by the [[move]] they just saw, and as Pikachu also reverts to normal, Ash congratulates him on the job well done. In the background, Team Rocket emerges from a bush and decides to go capture Drednaw, scurrying off. Leon goes down to Ash and Goh, and both sides thank and introduce each other. Ash requests to have a battle with Leon, baffling Goh and surprising Leon. However, before Leon can answer, a stadium personnel comes up to them and says that Dynamaxing isn't allowed here. Ash and Goh try to explain everything, but Leon bails them out by saying that the two are heroes who saved the stadium from ruin, giving Ash a reassuring wink as the personnel apologizes.

The next day, outside of the [[Wyndon]] [[Pokémon Center]], Goh, Pikachu, and Scorbunny are enjoying local {{wp|scone}}s, but Ash is completely zoned out, too much in thought to even eat. Just then, a {{TP|Goh|Skwovet}} climbs onto the table and starts eating one of Ash's scones. After having his [[Rotom Phone]] identify the Pokémon for him, Goh quickly throws a {{i|Poké Ball}} at it, successfully making his second {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} in the [[Galar]] [[region]]. Ash, however, is still completely lost in thought and barely notices the whole incident. Goh asks what's bothering him, and Ash responds that he's just been thinking about Leon's battle from yesterday. Goh quickly understands that Ash still wants to battle Leon, which Ash confirms, but Goh tells him that it isn't going to be easy. If he wants to challenge him, he's going to have to sign up for the [[World Coronation Series]] online and win his way through the ranks. The Top 8 Trainers in the rankings are called the Master Class. At the end of each season, these Trainers compete in a [[Masters Eight Tournament|tournament]], whose winner is declared the Monarch. Ash figures that he just needs to participate in the tournament to get to battle Leon, but Goh goes into further details to show him how it's not that easy. The participating Trainers are divided into four classes, based on whether an entrant wins or loses a Pokémon battle and looking at the content of the battle. All recently entered competitors compete in the Normal Class, the competitors from ranks 999 to 100 compete in the Great Class, those in ranks 99 to 9 are in the Ultra Class, and the Top 8 are in the Master Class. Since Leon is at the top of the rankings, Ash is going to need to climb through the ranks to reach him.

Ash is having trouble understanding the whole ranking system, but figures that he just needs to win a lot of battles. With his energy restored, he quickly gobbles up his scones, only to almost choke on them. Someone hands him a glass of water to flush them down, and Ash is surprised to notice that it's none other than Leon. To Ash's great pleasure and Goh's utter astonishment, he says that he's going to accept Ash's earlier request for a battle. Meanwhile, Team Rocket has been wandering around all night, unable to find Drednaw. [[James]] suddenly notices a Pokémon hanging on to [[Jessie]]'s hair, and {{MTR}} uses the trio's Rotom Phone to find out that it's a {{p|Chewtle}}, the pre-evolved form of Drednaw. Upon learning that this Pokémon evolves into the giant Pokémon from yesterday, the trio decides to take it to {{an|Giovanni}}, declaring their mission a success.

At Wyndon Stadium, Ash and Leon are preparing for their battle. Leon hands Ash a Dynamax Band, explaining that while he was able to use Dynamax without one the day before, Trainers usually use a Band to control Dynamax. He goes on to explain that when a Pokémon Dynamaxes, the names of its moves also change. Goh takes over for a bit, giving examples of some of these changes: {{type|Normal}} moves become {{m|Max Strike}}, {{type|Steel}} moves become Max Steelspike, and {{type|Electric}} moves become {{m|Max Lightning}}. Leon also explains that since Ash's Pikachu can Gigantamax, his Electric moves become G-Max Volt Crash instead of Max Lightning, and that Dynamaxing is triggered by [[recall]]ing the Pokémon into its [[Poké Ball]] and loading it with power from the Band before sending it out again. Ash remarks that Pikachu hates going into his Poké Ball, but assures they can still manage.

With all the information sharing out of the way, Ash and Leon take their places. Ash chooses Pikachu, while Leon calls out {{TP|Leon|Charizard}}, just like Ash had hoped he would. While Pikachu has a type advantage, Leon reminds Ash of his unbroken winning streak. [[Gym guide|Dan]] starts the battle, and Ash makes the first move by ordering a Quick Attack, which gets countered by Charizard's {{m|Thunder Punch}}. Ash follows up with an Iron Tail, but once again, his attack is blocked by a Thunder Punch. As Charizard goes on the offensive, Ash calls for an Electroweb, but Charizard breaks through it with Thunder Punch before using {{m|Air Slash}}, scoring a direct hit. Despite of this, Pikachu is still standing strong, and Ash has him use Thunderbolt. Charizard answers by using {{m|Flamethrower}}, which starts pushing the Thunderbolt back, leaving Pikachu with only a struggling barrier of electricity to protect him from the {{type|Fire}} move.

Fueled by Ash's determination, Pikachu starts applying more power into his attack. Responding to this, Ash's Dynamax Band starts to glow and sends Dynamax energy into Pikachu, causing him to start growing again. As the Gigantamax process takes effect, Thunderbolt is transformed into G-Max Volt Crash, which overpowers Charizard's Flamethrower and actually manages to hit it, knocking it to the ground. Ash is happy to have successfully achieved Gigantamax again, but Leon responds by recalling his Charizard and Gigantamaxing it as well. Ash tells Pikachu to use Max Strike, but Charizard easily dodges it before using {{m|Max Airstream}}. Pikachu struggles to stand up in the face of the powerful blast of wind, but is eventually thrown back. Ash calls for a Max Steelspike, but as Pikachu struggles to stand up again, Leon tells Charizard to use Max Lightning, which interrupts Pikachu's [[Max Move]] before he can execute it. Ash decides to go all out and orders a G-Max Volt Crash, and Leon responds with his own G-Max Move, {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}. Both attacks connect, but Charizard manages to endure the Electric attack, while G-Max Wildfire's secondary effect is too much for Pikachu to handle, and he shrinks back down, defeated.

After reverting his Charizard to its normal size and form, Leon goes to Ash and hands him an [[Oran Berry]] to restore Pikachu. Ash thanks Leon for the serious battle, and Leon says that battles aren't fun unless they're serious. Ash tries to return his Dynamax Band, but Leon tells him to keep it. He tells Ash that he likes Trainers with rough edges like him, but if he really wants to satisfy him, he needs him to "break out", or, as Goh puts it, "let 'er rip". As Leon turns to leave, Ash requests for another battle later. Leon accepts this request, promising that their [[JN129|next battle]] will be an official one in front of a crowd. As Ash and Goh exit the stadium, Ash declares that he's going to enter the World Coronation Series to face Leon again and defeat him this time to take another step closer to his dream of becoming a [[Pokémon Master]]. He turns back to look at the stadium one more time, imagining himself facing Leon in front of a huge, cheering crowd.

==Trivia==
* [[Get Inspired! Let's Solve a Poké Riddle!!]]: {{p|Charizard}}
* As of this episode, [[Ash's Pikachu]] has used a total of 19 [[move]]s, more than any other individual {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} featured throughout the {{pkmn|animated series}}, surpassing [[Ash's Charizard]]'s record of 17 used moves.
** This is also the only episode where Pikachu has used {{m|Max Steelspike}} and {{m|Max Strike}}.
* The [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} theme from [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] is played during both occasions in which Pikachu [[Gigantamax]]es.
* This is the only time in which a Pokémon has two Gigantamax transformations in the same episode in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
* This episode features Ash's first loss in a battle since ''[[SM105|Showdown on Poni Island!]]'', 54 episodes earlier, thus marking the longest period he has been on a winning streak since his 70-episode streak from ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'' to ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]''.
* The English [[dub]] title is a reference to the first words of the [[Pokémon Theme]], "I wanna be the very best".
* Ash, the excavation {{OBP|leader|JN014}}, Pikachu, {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}}, [[Goh]], and {{OBP|Kira|JN014}} narrate the preview for the [[JN014|next episode]].

===Errors===
* In the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} [[dub]], when [[Goh]] is explaining the names of {{AP|Pikachu}}'s [[Max Move]]s, {{Ash}} says the {{type|Normal}} Max Move's name is "''Ataque Max''" instead of "''{{m|Max Strike|Golpe Max}}''".

==Origin?==

Karamanero could be based off of the {{wp|Kraken}}. [[User:Dialgafan1|Dialgafan1]] ([[User talk:Dialgafan1|talk]]) 15:22, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

::I agree, although, I believe that, especially based on its dark primary typing, it also may be based on the Humboldt squid in particular, also known as the Diablo rojo, which translates to "red devil".--[[User:ShinyPatch|ShinyPatch]] ([[User talk:ShinyPatch|talk]]) 20:36, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

I was thinking it might be based on (the idea of) a vampire squid. It doesn't look like an actual vampire squid, but it does sort of look like a squid that was also a vampire [[User:Vienna Waltz|Vienna Waltz]] ([[User talk:Vienna Waltz|talk]]) 12:42, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Malamar's Dark/Psychic typing and hypnotic powers remind me of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illithid Illithids] or mindflayers from Dungeons & Dragons. They are squid-headed humanoids with often purple-blue skin; they have psionic powers and can control others to do their bidding. Illithids have a history of being adapted for Japanese video games; there is a [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Mindflayer_(Final_Fantasy) Mindflayer enemy in Final Fantasy as well.] Of course, there's no telling what it's really based on besides just a squid. It'd be cool if we could get a designer interview discussing some of the origins of these designs like was done for some Pokémon in Generation V. [[User:Iamohjay|Iamohjay]] ([[User talk:Iamohjay|talk]]) 17:47, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Malamar could also be a Giant Squid.[[User:Robbie|Robbie]] ([[User talk:Robbie|talk]]) 22:07, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Malamar is clearly based on the "Vampire Squid" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire_squid] due to hynotic lights and its ability to turn itself inside out both key features to Malmar's design.(Malamar turning upside down instead of inside out) Also I want to note that Malamar's collar resembles an "Upturned Collar" similar to an actual vampire. The Vampire Squid's nickname is "vampire squid of Hell" hence the Dark type of Malamar. {{unsigned|ProtoTurtle}}

:I'm not really seeing a very strong resemblance to the vampire squid (and that's the translation of its scientific name, not its nickname). Vampire squid are crimson in color; Malamar has no crimson on it at all. Vampire squid have distinctive blue eyes; Malamar's eyes are yellow. Vampire squid have rounded mantles, lack two longer tentacles, their tentacles are connected by membrane that forms a netlike area around the mouth, and they generally really don't look like squid at all (in fact, they're not actually true squid, nor octopi, but the only living member of their own order); Malamar is shaped very much like most true squid species. Also, Malamar turns itself upside-down, not inside-out (although "inside-out" is a misnomer--the vampire squid merely turns its arm cloak over the rest of its body). So I think it's safe to say Malamar is not based on a vampire squid, just (real) squid in general (in fact, I'd agree more with the idea that it could be inspired by Humboldt squid, which are notoriously vicious hunters and could explain the Dark typing). [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] ([[User talk:Lucentas|talk]]) 03:08, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Malamar, and to some extent Inkay, could be based on the amanojaku. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanojaku] The amanojaku is supposedly the demon of contrariness, which could be connected to Malamar's upside-down body structure and its Ability Contrary, as well as its signature move, Topsy-Turvy.

Most likely to me, given its squiddy nature and its Dark typing, is ''malicious'' and ''calamari''. [[User:Zakitano|Zakitano]] ([[User talk:Zakitano|talk]]) 15:34, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

I think its worth mentioning that 'No other pokemon has the same type as Malamar and its [[ Inkay | pre-evolution]]' [[User:Benjabby|Benjabby]] ([[User talk:Benjabby|talk]]) 16:40, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure ''malicous'' since it's a dark is more likely than mal, especially since there will probably be female malamar anyway [[User:0danmaster0|0danmaster0]] ([[User talk:0danmaster0|talk]]) 06:42, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

I think the "mar" in it's name can be a reference to the word "Mar",that means "Sea" in Spanish and Portuguese. - ''[[User:Ishlishl|Ishlishl]]''

== -MAL ==

Clearly the MAL in Malamar can more easily be related to such words as Malignant, Maleficent, Malicious. So many words, it seems quite silly to just leave the bulbapedia entry at "a combination of mal and calamari". Pedestrian, no? At the very least specify that "mal" is indeed a prefix followed by something like "from the Latin Malus, meaning bad". I mean do we really need to link what Mal stands for when it can be easily described? Calamari, ok, not everyone may know what that is. However, I have yet to see another pokemon page link to a prefix...{{unsigned|Milotic1209}}

==Trivia evolution==

Are we absolutely sure about the trivia that this exolution wouldve been impossible on any other games? There was a game called kirby tilt and tumble for the gameboy color that could tell when you were holding the game upside down. So it's conceivable that the technology for an evolution from holding the game upside down could've existed in Gen 2 if not earlier. It's fine to fine to say its unique, but make sure you know for certain before saying something is impossible {{unsigned|Gardeford}}
:According to Wikipedia, {{wp|Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble}} was only able to do that because it had accelerometers specially built into the cartridge. Since no old Pokémon games had those accelerometers built into their cartridges, Inkay still would have technically been unable to evolve in previous games as far as they actually existed. However, the fact that the technology was ''possible'' is probably worth expanding the trivia point to include.

== Type Resistance ==

I failed to see under the Weakness/Resistance part of the article about how weaknesses can be changed.

== Type Combination is NOT Unique ==

I've seen a few times recently people trying to add to the trivia that Malamar is the only [[Dark (type)|Dark]]/[[Psychic (type)|Psychic]] type Pokémon, and this is not the case. {{p|Hoopa}} [[Form differences#Hoopa|Unbound]] has the same combination, even though it is yet to be released. [[User:Litwick96|Litwick96]] ([[User talk:Litwick96|talk]]) 05:20, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

== Catch Rate ==

Just so you know, [[Bruxish]] also got a catch rate of 80 in Pokemon Sun and Moon, so I changed the trivia. Feel free to revert/change the wording/remove that whole sentence/anything.

== Order of Abilities ==

I'm going to assume we're going with the most technically correct moveslot order (which I also think makes most sense), so I'm correcting the order for Malamar and Inkay. I'm doing this for consistency (because Binacle, for example, is the exact same case), but I'm also explicitly saying this because [https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokedex/malamar the official site] has them flipped, and as far as I'm aware you (currently) can't tell in-game.

== Leech like properties. ==

pulled from the article

Its parasitic relationship to Slowpoke may be inspired by leeches. Interesting enough, Slowbro is known as the Hermit Crab Pokémon and many real-world parasites, including leeches, often target crabs. Also despite many common misconceptions, most leeches are not just parasites but also predators. Leech(es should stay leeches sorry) often hunt small invertebrates, which they then devour whole. This can explain why instead of merely attaching itself to Slowpoke's flesh, they instead attempt to bite onto and even consume the head or tail of the host Slowpoke.

Ok, I can cite right now that the Eelektrik articles lists the leech a possibility with no more "evidence" then shellder. Pokémon are not cut and dry, and unless we interrogate the Game Freak staff, we likely won't know for sure which Pokémon are based on what, if any plant or animal. We had this same problem on the Chestnaught article with people saying it can't be based off any animals other than hedgehogs just because that is what Chestpin is based on. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 10:22, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
:Where is the evidence that Shellder is attempting to consume Slowpoke instead of merely latching on, though? I'm sorry, but to me merely latching on to something and not letting go does not describe leech-like properties. Leeches are worm-like creatures that suck blood, while Shellder is clam-like and has been stated to each scraps of Slowbro's meals. Shellder has a symbiotic relationship with its host, while most leeches certainly do not. Eelektrik,on the other hand, has the serpentine leech shape, jaw shape, and behavior to an extent. I'm not going to sit here and say that Shellder cannot possibly be based on a leech, but that the evidence is really weak and hazy, and therefore very unlikely. Not everything that latches onto something else is a leech, there are many other kinds of parasites - including a clam with a parasitic lifestage. The wording of this is also somewhat poor. "Interestingly" is an opinion, and really shouldn't be here. And most of the evidence after that is very circumstantial and a little speculative, since as I said there's no evidence that Shellder is trying to ''consume'' Slowpoke. If we want to include leeches, it should be based on what evidence we do have. Which would just be the parasitic relationship, or "Its parasitic relationship to Slowpoke may be inspired by leeches" and ''possibly'' "This is also supported by its beneficial toxins". Since some leeches do produce a toxin in their saliva that is useful to the host.

:: I don't know why you wrote that message in the edit summary, the venom thing and the leech thing were two separate things entirely. Plus I had posted on your talk page to explain the reasoning for the edit, after the edit... so telling me to wait for a response was a little too late in that regard. Still, let me address everything here on this talk page.

:: Shellder gains the Jaw shape of a leech, albeit while in a shell. As for the trying to consume part, I am not sure if you have access to any of the 3D games, but watch Slowbro and the shellder in Stadium and more recent XY's Pokémon-Amie. In stadium the shellder occasionally chomps down hard, causing the slowbro to jolt up in pain. I believe this is also present in Snap as well, where Slowbro is tormented by the Shellder's Malicious chomps shortly after evolving. In Pokémon-Amie, it also does a chewing motion, which, although this doesn't result in the same jolt as Stadium/Snap animated, it still shows it has the ability to chew on its host. Still, as I said in stadium/snap it was much more violent/comedic looking. Even if it doesn't want to Fully consume the host in some way, it still illustrates behaviors that make it seem likely.

:: Now for the most part, most of the things you are calling into question were pieces added to the leech thing which were only recently added by myself. The part about leeches, parasites and crabs was up for months before I added a little more body to it based on research on leeches and learning they are more than parasites but also predators that prey on invertebrates.

:: Also, I don't believe I was the one who added the "Interestingly enough" part to that description, that really isn't my flair to typically add things like that. Even if it was me, that only means it needs better wording so that it doesn't seem to imply opinion. Depending on how you read context, anything could be an opinion.

:: Not everything is black and white, cut and dry. People view leeches as parasites, but that is only one side of a multi-sided story. People think maggots are disgusting, but they are quite beneficial. You can have a festering wound, put maggots into it and they will clean it better then most modern day medicines without the risk of something becoming a resistant strain. Its all in the matter of perception, humans cast judgement onto things and decide its the law, but scratch beneath the surface and you can find details you wouldn't normally comprehend in a certain fashion. The word Symbiotic is thrown around a lot with these two, but at the end of the day Shellder is still refereed to as a parasite.

::: As for the Venom side of things, You seem to be misunderstanding the context of Slowking's dexes.

:::Slowking Pokédex Entry:
:::*Silver: '''When''' its head was bitten, toxins entered '''Slowpoke's head''' and unlocked an extraordinary power.
:::*PDPt: '''Being bitten''' by Shellder gave it intelligence comparable to that of award-winning scientists.

::: The Dex says "Slowpoke's head" not Slowking. If it was Slowking's head then the shellder would already be in its spiraled form.

::: You are stating that Shellder is in its Spiral Shelled state when this happens. No, It is regular Shellder until the Evolution. It bites onto Slowpoke's head as a regular Shellder, Venom surges into Slowpoke's brain, it unlocks the great power and then they evolve. Afterwards, the Shellder's shell becomes spiraled and just like a bee stinger left to itself will keep pumping venom long after the sting and the bee's death, Shellder keeps chomping down and releasing venom, especially when Slowking yawns.

::: The radioactive/bio-engineered spider that bites Peter Parker, gave him his powers and allowed him to become Spider Man was not radioactive/bio-engineered because it bit Peter, that is what it was beforehand.

::::No, not everything is black and white. But we must have good reasoning for adding something to origins with good basis, otherwise a million things can be added. If you looked at the page, leeches are listed with all the basis we have. Anything additional is really too speculative. Chewing =/= consuming. Dogs chew on chew toys without eating them. I think what's there now is a fair enough compromise.

::::As for the venom, I stand firmly on saying that there it should not be changed. Regardless of when or where Shellder has the venom, there's is no evidence that it uses it anywhere but on Slowpoke. I understand the dex entries perfectly fine. They say the Slowpoke is injected with venom. They ''do not'' say that Shellder hunts with venom nor that it is used on any other species of Pokemon. Just that it injects Slowpoke.

Upon unrelated research on if ticks and mosquitoes were parasites, I have discovered by definition Parasitism is non-symbiotic. This is a complete contrast to the relationship between Shellder and Slowpoke, who have historically been classified as both symbiotic and beneficial to both parties involved. So in the mean time I have hidden the leech part until it can be decided/figured out if parasitic is the right word.

Although I've hidden it in the mean time, I can admit this seems to be the rock that will sink the leech thing altogether. But it should still be discussed so that no possibilities are completely off the table without certainty.[[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 16:54, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

==Anime Pokédex Entries==
Says to visit the pages of Slowbro and Slowking for Pokédex entries of Shellder. But when a person visits either of those pages, they will find what I found, that the anime pokédex for either Slowbro or Slowking says nothing about Shellder whatsoever.

== Biology section ==

I noticed how long the Biology section is for Shellder, when compared to other Pokémon, however it's striking how it goes to such great lengths to describe the anime-only connection with the Slowpoke family, but not a single line on its own evolution to Cloyster.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, shouldn't the whole discussion on Slowpoke be on the Slowbro/Slowking pages (with a minor mention here) and, instead, go deeper on how Shellder evolves to Cloyster and gains Ice-typing in the process? Thoughts? [[User:Raven-14|Raven-14]] ([[User talk:Raven-14|talk]]) 17:14, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
:I agree that this Biology section is a bit overwritten, but the Sheller/Slowpoke connection is not at all anime-only — look at the Pokédex entries for {{p|Slowbro}} and {{p|Slowking}}. I think it's necessary to mention at least somewhat here, although it could definitely be heavily trimmed. As for its evolution into Cloyster, afaik anything relevant to regular evolution is usually mentioned on the evolved form's article rather than the basic Pokémon's.

==Shellder Can't Learn Poison Moves?==
According to the article Shellder doesn't learn any Poison-type moves. Except... It can learn Toxic. It can also learn Twineedle, which can induce the Poisoned status. It's not that far of a stretch that Shellder can inject venom into Slowpoke given these moves. [[User:Me, Hurray!|PkMn Trainer Richie]] ([[User talk:Me, Hurray!|talk]]) 19:18, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
:I checked the history for when the trivia was added, and it was in June 2020, where Shellder isn't able to learn any poison moves by level up, TM (Toxic is no longer one by Gen VIII) or by breeding (Twineedle can't be used in a Gen VIII game). It's probably best to specify this though. [[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]] ([[User talk:Animaltamer7|talk]]) 13:55, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

==Origin?==

Karamanero could be based off of the {{wp|Kraken}}. [[User:Dialgafan1|Dialgafan1]] ([[User talk:Dialgafan1|talk]]) 15:22, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

::I agree, although, I believe that, especially based on its dark primary typing, it also may be based on the Humboldt squid in particular, also known as the Diablo rojo, which translates to "red devil".--[[User:ShinyPatch|ShinyPatch]] ([[User talk:ShinyPatch|talk]]) 20:36, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

I was thinking it might be based on (the idea of) a vampire squid. It doesn't look like an actual vampire squid, but it does sort of look like a squid that was also a vampire [[User:Vienna Waltz|Vienna Waltz]] ([[User talk:Vienna Waltz|talk]]) 12:42, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Malamar's Dark/Psychic typing and hypnotic powers remind me of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illithid Illithids] or mindflayers from Dungeons & Dragons. They are squid-headed humanoids with often purple-blue skin; they have psionic powers and can control others to do their bidding. Illithids have a history of being adapted for Japanese video games; there is a [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Mindflayer_(Final_Fantasy) Mindflayer enemy in Final Fantasy as well.] Of course, there's no telling what it's really based on besides just a squid. It'd be cool if we could get a designer interview discussing some of the origins of these designs like was done for some Pokémon in Generation V. [[User:Iamohjay|Iamohjay]] ([[User talk:Iamohjay|talk]]) 17:47, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Malamar could also be a Giant Squid.[[User:Robbie|Robbie]] ([[User talk:Robbie|talk]]) 22:07, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Malamar is clearly based on the "Vampire Squid" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire_squid] due to hynotic lights and its ability to turn itself inside out both key features to Malmar's design.(Malamar turning upside down instead of inside out) Also I want to note that Malamar's collar resembles an "Upturned Collar" similar to an actual vampire. The Vampire Squid's nickname is "vampire squid of Hell" hence the Dark type of Malamar. {{unsigned|ProtoTurtle}}

:I'm not really seeing a very strong resemblance to the vampire squid (and that's the translation of its scientific name, not its nickname). Vampire squid are crimson in color; Malamar has no crimson on it at all. Vampire squid have distinctive blue eyes; Malamar's eyes are yellow. Vampire squid have rounded mantles, lack two longer tentacles, their tentacles are connected by membrane that forms a netlike area around the mouth, and they generally really don't look like squid at all (in fact, they're not actually true squid, nor octopi, but the only living member of their own order); Malamar is shaped very much like most true squid species. Also, Malamar turns itself upside-down, not inside-out (although "inside-out" is a misnomer--the vampire squid merely turns its arm cloak over the rest of its body). So I think it's safe to say Malamar is not based on a vampire squid, just (real) squid in general (in fact, I'd agree more with the idea that it could be inspired by Humboldt squid, which are notoriously vicious hunters and could explain the Dark typing). [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] ([[User talk:Lucentas|talk]]) 03:08, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Malamar, and to some extent Inkay, could be based on the amanojaku. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanojaku] The amanojaku is supposedly the demon of contrariness, which could be connected to Malamar's upside-down body structure and its Ability Contrary, as well as its signature move, Topsy-Turvy.

I think the "mar" in it's name can be a reference to the word "Mar",that means "Sea" in Spanish and Portuguese. - ''[[User:Ishlishl|Ishlishl]]''

Clearly the MAL in Malamar can more easily be related to such words as Malignant, Maleficent, Malicious. So many words, it seems quite silly to just leave the bulbapedia entry at "a combination of mal and calamari". Pedestrian, no? At the very least specify that "mal" is indeed a prefix followed by something like "from the Latin Malus, meaning bad". I mean do we really need to link what Mal stands for when it can be easily described? Calamari, ok, not everyone may know what that is.

Are we absolutely sure about the trivia that this exolution wouldve been impossible on any other games? There was a game called kirby tilt and tumble for the gameboy color that could tell when you were holding the game upside down. So it's conceivable that the technology for an evolution from holding the game upside down could've existed in Gen 2 if not earlier. It's fine to fine to say its unique, but make sure you know for certain before saying something is impossible {{unsigned|Gardeford}}
:According to Wikipedia, {{wp|Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble}} was only able to do that because it had accelerometers specially built into the cartridge. Since no old Pokémon games had those accelerometers built into their cartridges, Inkay still would have technically been unable to evolve in previous games as far as they actually existed.

[[File:HGSS Meowth quadruped.png|thumb|right|200px|Meowth walking on all fours in the overworld]]
Meowth is a small, {{wp|Felidae|feline}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with cream-colored fur that turns brown at the tips of its hind paws and tail. Its ovoid head features four prominent whiskers, wide eyes with slit pupils, two pointed teeth in the upper jaw, and a gold {{wp|Koban (coin)|koban}} coin embedded in its forehead. Its ears are black with brown interiors and are flanked with an additional pair of long whiskers. Meowth can freely manipulate its claws, retracting them when it wants to move silently. The tip of its tail curls tightly. Meowth is a quadruped with the ability to walk on its hind legs. While the games almost always depict Meowth on two legs, it is stated in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]'' that Meowth normally walks on all fours.

Meowth is attracted to round and shiny objects and has the unique ability to produce coins using its [[signature move]], {{m|Pay Day}}. Meowth and its evolved forms are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Pay Day by leveling up. Being nocturnal, it is known to wander about city streets at night and pick up anything that sparkles, including loose change. Upon finding a sparkling object, its eyes will glitter and the coin on its forehead will shine brightly. It shares this intrigue with {{p|Murkrow}}, with whom it often fights with for objects and prey. Meowth is a playful but fickle Pokémon with the capacity for human-like intelligence, with at least {{MTR|one member}} of the species teaching itself how to speak. Meowth tends to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}} to collect the coins that people drop. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Meowth is known to sleep with the coins it collects.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Forms===
Meowth has a [[Gigantamax]] form and two [[regional form]]s, {{rf|Alolan}} Meowth and {{rf|Galarian}} Meowth.

;Alolan Meowth
In [[Alola]], Meowth has a slightly different look. This look was the result of the monarchy's influence. Alolan Meowth's fur is a light blue-gray color. Instead of brown markings, the tip of its tail, whiskers, digits, and the insides of its ears are a whitish-gray. Alolan Meowth's whiskers have a slight curve compared to regular Meowth's straighter whiskers, it has silvery eyes and is skinnier.

Meowth was introduced to Alola as a gift to royalty.<ref>[http://www.Pokémon-sunmoon.com/en-us/Pokémon/alolan-meowth/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Meowth]</ref> The luxurious royal lifestyle soon led to Meowth diverging from its origins and becoming the selfish, prideful, and cunning Alolan Meowth. As a result, Alolan Mewoth's new pride also made them impulsive and fickle in nature. Alolan Meowth will turn hysterical if its coin or pride are besmirched. Due to the actions of humans in Alola, Alolan Meowth's population increased in numbers. When the monarchy fell, the rare Alolan Meowth went feral and eventually grew as common in Alola as anywhere else. Alolan Meowth is known to be very famously diffcult to train due to their arrogant nature. Despite this, Alolan Meowth is also very popular with some Trainers who enjoy giving it a lot of attention.

;Galarian Meowth
Galarian Meowth has a shaggy, greyish-brown coat resembling a beard, as well as yellow eyes and a toothy grin. Its coin is now black and extremely hard because of lack of care, with the darkest and hardest coins being especially valued and respected among the species.

Galarian Meowth's body has partially turned to iron as a result of many years of living with a race of savage seafarers. As a result of many battles, Galarian Meowth develops the ability to evolve into {{p|Perrserker}}, instead of {{p|Persian}}. Normal Meowth and Galarian Meowth don't get along.

;Gigantamax Meowth
Some Kantonian Meowth are capable of Gigantamaxing. As Gigantamax Meowth, it has become larger and longer in size. The body extends from the lower half to the shoulder, while the gold coin gains a symbol. Meowth's eyes change to a glowing gold color. The tail grows long as well, with the end of its tip extending. The tail gets even larger and bumpy when it uses an attack. Three red clouds surround it below the shoulders.

The giant coin on Gigantamax Meowth's head emits a lot of Gigantamax power that surrounds the area with a golden gleam. Its desire for shiny objects increases to the point where it will cause damage to skyscraper windows and exterior walls for the sake of sharpening its claws.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-meowth/ Gigantamax Meowth | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> The symbol on Gigantamax Meowth's gold coin is believed to be the key to unlocking the secrets of [[Dynamax]].

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

How purrfect!"''

==Trivia==
[[File:Niue Dollar Pokémon.png|thumb|$1 coins from {{wp|Niue}}]]
[[File:Meowth Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Meowth in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* In ''[[EP070|Go West, Young Meowth]]'', it was stated that {{MTR}} of Team Rocket had to learn and practice standing on his hind legs like a human, implying that Meowth as a species is not naturally able to stand on their hind legs. However, almost all sprites in the {{pkmn|games}} and the [[Pokédex]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' depict it standing on its hind legs, suggesting Meowth has the natural ability to walk on two legs. [[Tyson's Meowth]] is also able to walk on two legs, seemingly naturally.
** The only time Meowth is depicted on all fours in the games is in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}; when the player places Meowth as the first Pokémon in their party, Meowth will walk on four legs behind the player.
* Meowth is the first Pokémon in ''Pokémon the Series'' depicted with the ability to {{pkmn2|Talking|talk}}.
* Meowth's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] are the same: 052.
* Meowth is the only Pokémon to have [[regional form]]s for multiple regions.
* Meowth is the only Pokémon to have both a regional form and [[Gigantamax]] form.
* Meowth may be considered a counterpart of {{p|Mankey}}. Both of them are {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} who evolve into their evolved forms at level 28. Meowth is exclusive to {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Blue}}, {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Silver}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|SoulSilver}}, and {{LGPE|Let's Go Eevee!}}; while Mankey is exclusive to Red, Gold, HeartGold, and Let's Go, Pikachu!. Also, in {{B2W2|Black 2 and White 2}}, [[Yancy]] will trade the {{player}} a Meowth if the player is male, and [[Curtis]] will trade Mankey if the player is female. Additionally, both seem to have a similar color scheme.
* Meowth had the Dark-type typing in the TCG set [[POP Series 5]]: {{TCG ID|POP Series 5|Meowth δ|11}}, which debuted a decade before Alolan Meowth would make an appearance in Pokémon Sun & Moon.
* In the original preview for [[HZ066|episode 66]] of {{aniseries|HZ}}, a Kantonian Meowth was supposed to appear alongside one of the students from [[Naranja Academy]]. In the final version of the episode, the respective Pokémon was removed, and up until that point, the last appearance of a Kantonian Meowth within the {{pkmn|animated series}} was [[Team Rocket's Meowth]] in the {{aniseries|JN}} episode ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]''.

===Merchandise===
* Meowth appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. It doesn't behave like any traditional piece in chess.

===Cultural impact===
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Meowth as part of a commemorative promotion for the [[Pokémon]] franchise, with Meowth on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Meowth}}
Meowth seems to be based upon the Japanese legend of the 招き猫 ''{{wp|Maneki-neko}}'', also known as the lucky cat or beckoning cat. According to one legend, a cat raised its paw to welcome a lord and saved his life when a lightning bolt hit the spot where he had been standing. ''Maneki-neko'' are often used as charms in restaurants and shops to bring customers fortune and good luck. Statues of the cat are usually depicted holding a ''{{wp|Koban (coin)|koban}}'', an ancient coin used in Japan, like the one on Meowth's head. Meowth's color and pattern suggest that it also draws inspiration from {{wp|Siamese cat}}s. Its Japanese [[Pokémon category]] also suggests it is based on a ''{{wp|Bakeneko}}''.

Unlike the normal Meowth, Alolan Meowth appears to be based more on domestic cats that underwent selective breeding, specifically those owned by royalty. In particular, its appearance resembles the "British Blue" color variant of the {{wp|British Shorthair}}, an imported breed known well for its large and rounded head and pronounced 'smile', which the breed developed through artificial selection as part of the process of developing its pedigree.

Based on its appearance and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword]] [[Pokédex]] entry, Galarian Meowth may be based on {{wp|Norwegian Forest cat}}s, large fluffy cats with beard-like ruffs, or {{wp|European Wildcat}}s, with traits of the {{wp|Vikings}} that kept the breed's presumed ancestors on their ships.

Gigantamax Meowth's elongated body may be based on a sketch from ''{{wp|Monty Python's Flying Circus}}'' about a giant cat with outstretched arms and the {{wp|longcat}} meme.

====Name origin====
Meowth may be a combination of ''meow'' (the sound a cat makes), ''mouth'', and ''wealth'', alluding to the Maneki-neko's capacity to bring good fortune. The ''-th'' may also be borrowed from Nyarth, as both ''meow'' and ''nyā'' are onomatopoeia of a cat's cry.

Nyarth may be a play on ニャー ''nyā'' (the Japanese {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for the sound a cat makes).

Nino938: Added ghost and dragon super effectiveness

{{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 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 {{Tera}}stallize into the Stellar type, which can also change {{m|Tera Blast}} and {{m|Tera Starstorm}} into the type as well.

==List of types==
Each type is assigned a particular [[index number]] used to identify it within a particular game, such as the data structures defining the types of a Pokémon or move.

Prior to [[Generation IV]], a type's index number is also used to determine whether a move of that type deals [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] damage, with all types from the {{t|Fire}} type onward dealing special damage. In the Generation III games, a damaging {{type|???}} move would be treated as dealing neither physical nor special damage, and deal 2 base damage.

Value 6 in Generations I and II is the unused {{t|Bird}} type, which was removed in subsequent games. Values 9–19 (in Generation I) or 10–18 (in Generation II) are placeholders that display as "Normal". Values beyond the last defined entry may be used as the types of [[glitch Pokémon]] or [[glitch move]]s, and are known as [[glitch type]]s. Value 19 in Generation IX is used as a {{wp|Magic number (programming)|magic number}} to indicate that a Pokémon's Tera Type has not been changed from its original value.<ref>https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/blob/a02e4db09859eedd360da5a39fa55d9d8f52ecd0/PKHeX.Core/PKM/Interfaces/ITeraType.cs#L28</ref>

==Type effectiveness==
[[File:Sylveon vs Hydreigon.png|200px|thumb|{{p|Sylveon}} using 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: '''{{ruby|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: '''{{ruby|効果|こうか}}はバツグン''' ''super effective'') against a type of its target, the damage is doubled;
* If the type of a move is '''not very effective''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|効果|こうか}}は{{ruby|今一|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: '''{{ruby|効果|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 the damage. In [[Pokémon Champions]], this is referred to as '''extremely effective''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|効果|こうか}}はちょうバツグン''' ''extremely effective'').
* 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 of the damage. In Pokémon Champions, this is referred to as '''mostly ineffective''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|効果|こうか}}はかなり{{ruby|今一|いまひと}}つ''' ''quite ineffective'').
* 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 a 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.
* 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.
* In all other cases, the type effectiveness is the same as in other games.
[[File:Bellibolt vs Quaxly HZ050.png|left|thumb|250px|Comparison between {{p|Quaxly}}'s type effectiveness compared to {{p|Bellibolt}} made by [[Dot]] in ''[[HZ050|Trending Terastallization! Dance, Dance, Quaxly!]]''.]]

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. There are some exceptions; {{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" | <small>These matchups are suitable for {{color2|000|Generation VI}} onward.</small>
|}

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.

The {{t|Stellar}} type is super effective against {{Tera}}stallized Pokémon, but is otherwise considered neutral against all types. It has no defensive properties at all, as a Stellar-type Pokémon will be treated as having its regular typing for defensive purposes.

===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 [[Pokémon Stadium]].

==Type-affected game mechanics==
Prior to [[Generation IV]], the [[damage category|category]] of damaging moves only depends on the move's type; 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 [[Type order|order specific to the Pokémon]]. This order is mostly aesthetic, but it affects {{m|Present}} in [[Generation II]], {{m|Revelation Dance}}, and {{m|Judgment}} in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] when used by {{p|Arceus}} holding a [[Legend Plate]].

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

===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.

==Icons==
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 {{g|Sun and Moon}} on [[Z-Crystal]]s and then following up with the subsequent core series games and {{g|HOME}}.

Some alternate icons associated with types appeared before. In {{g|X and Y}}, the floor of the {{kal|Pokémon League}}'s Radiant Chamber features a set of type icons as decoration.

[[The Indigo Disk]] DLC for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} introduced a Pokémon named {{p|Terapagos}}, whose shell displays icons for every type, reflecting its unique power to change types.

In [[Pokémon Stadium]] and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], a one- or two-character abbreviation is used for each type. From [[Generation III]] to {{gen|V}}, the full name is used for all types in Japanese and Korean, but an abbreviated name is still used for some types in Western languages. Starting in [[Generation VI]], the full name is used for all types in all languages, except for the {{t|Bug}} type in Italian.

In [[Generation IV]] games, the smaller icons are used in the [[summary]] and in-battle, while the larger icons are used in the [[Pokédex]].

==In the spin-off 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===
Pokémon have types (either one or two, as normal), and moves have types, but there are no type advantages in [[Pokémon Quest]]. Types still serve several roles, usually through matching a prompted type. When Pokémon use moves of the same type they are, the move deals additional damage. Certain [[Bingo Bonus|bingo bonuses]] increase the Attack of moves of a specified type that the Pokémon knows, or reduces the Wait of those moves. There are also bingo bonuses that reduce oncoming damage of a specific type.

Each of the game's [[Tumblecube Island|areas]] has a bonus Type. When playing a stage of that area, the player's Pokémon of that Type get a boost to their [[HP]] and [[Attack]].

Level-Up Training provides increased [[Exp]] to the Training Pokémon if the Training Pokémon and the Supporting Pokémon share a type. Similarly, Move Learning Training has a higher success rate for changing the Training Pokémon's moves when the Training Pokémon and the Supporting Pokémon share a type.

Most of the game's [[Cooking (Quest)|dishes]] attract Pokémon with a specific type to the {{OBP|base camp|Quest}}, allowing the player to [[Caught Pokémon|befriend]] them. The dish is themed to match the type in question. For example, the Honey Nectar à la Cube is the favorite food of {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, and the Get Swole Syrup à la Cube is the favorite food of {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. While there are eighteen different dishes, equal to the number of types, six of them attract Pokémon based on qualities that are not type. This means that {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Fairy}}, {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Dragon}}, and {{t|Ice}} all do not have an associated dish.

Some Challenge Quests relate to Pokémon types, tasking the player with defeating Pokémon of specific types and befriending Pokémon of specific types. One group of Quests is about going on expeditions with teams where all three Pokémon have 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 1.6<sup>n</sup> (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:
{| class="roundy" style="background: #ddf; border: 5px solid #ccf"
|-

|- style="background: #fff"

|×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. In addition, type immunities do not exist in this game. 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]]. However, events make use of Pokémon types. The Dragon Carnival event rewarded players for collecting and using the Dragon types on the roster. It included the event only Quick Battle {{DL|Mer Stadium|Full-Burst Battle! Dragon Dustup}}, which is themed entirely around {{t|Dragon}} types. Every [[wild Pokémon]] in this kind of battle is Dragon-type except for {{p|Swablu}}, the pre-Evolution of the Dragon-type {{p|Altaria}}. Further, players can only use Dragon-type Pokémon. The Fairy Festival event is similar but is focused on {{t|Fairy}}-type Pokémon. There is also a bonus for having any Fairy-type Pokémon in a battle, even if they are on the opposing team. Instead of having a original Quick Battle, [[Panic Parade]] was changed to grant players a 10% boost to their event points for each Fairy-type Pokémon on the players' team and allow the allied {{p|Tinkaton}} to use an extra move for each Fairy-type Pokémon on the player's team. Both benefits cap out at three Fairy-type Pokémon.

===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.

'''Spirit Shackle''' (Japanese: '''かげぬい''' ''Shadow Stitching'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Ghost}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VII]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Decidueye}}.

It can be upgraded to the special [[Z-Move]] {{m|Sinister Arrow Raid}} by Decidueye holding [[Decidium Z]].

==Effect==
Spirit Shackle inflicts damage and [[Escape prevention|prevents]] the target from [[Escape|fleeing]] or [[Recall|switching out]] as long as the user remains in battle. {{a|Wimp Out}}, {{a|Emergency Exit}}, the [[Red Card]], the [[Shed Shell]], and the [[Eject Button]] can bypass this effect.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
Spirit Shackle cannot be selected in a battle.

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Spirit Shackle is {{p|Decidueye}}'s first move. It is obtained by evolving from {{p|Dartrix}} and upgrading {{m|Leafage}} into it instead of {{m|Razor Leaf}}. The user charges power before firing a large arrow in the designated direction. Damage dealt increases the longer power is charged (with 6 breakpoints), but movement speed is decreased by 25% while charging. If this move hits after power is charged to the maximum, it can stitch enemies to the ground. The affected enemy has their movement speed decreased by 80% for a short time while in the area, and receives damage upon leaving the area. A maximum of 3 uses can be kept in reserve for this move. At level 11, the move deals 15% more damage to enemies under 50% HP.

===[[Pokémon GO]]===
In Pokémon GO, Spirit Shackle is a Charged Attack that has been available since January 6, 2024.

== Add the "Variations of the move Gust" box to the bottom of Leafage's article ==

This new move has been added to Gust's variations box on "Move Variations". Therefore, it is logical to add the Variations box, that exists on Gust's and other listed moves's articles, to Leafage's article as well.

'''A Charizard...and a Champion''' (Japanese: '''VS リザードン''' ''VS {{tt|Lizardon|Charizard}}'') is the 40th chapter in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, and the final chapter of the {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}.

==Plot==

At the [[Pokémon League]] tournament held at the [[Indigo Plateau]], the rivals {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} begin their heavily anticipated match to decide the {{pkmn|Champion|League Champion}} for the year's competition, with {{adv|Bill}}, {{adv|Green}}, and {{adv|Professor Oak}} among the excited audience. A simultaneous drop of their [[Poké Ball]]s marks the start of the fight, revealing [[Blue's Charizard]] and Red's [[Saur]], Green and Bill lamenting Red's obvious type disadvantage. Blue chuckles to himself, taunting Red for leading with a {{t|Grass}} type as he orders a {{m|Fire Spin}}, which Saur is barely able to dodge. As Charizard lunges in for a follow-up {{m|Fire Punch}}, Saur surprises it with a burst of {{m|Poison Powder|PoisonPowder}}, leaving Blue shocked as Red warns him about getting overconfident. Red follows with a {{m|Razor Leaf}}, which Blue forced to physically assist his addled Charizard in dodging, before Red switches for [[Snor]] to continue.

Before Snor can strike with {{m|Mega Punch}}, Blue switches out Charizard for his {{TP|Blue|Machamp}}, using his four arms to block Snor's movement. The two Pokémon begin to grapple with each other, Blue inviting Red to a head-on match. Machamp is eventually able to use his immense strength to lift up Snor, and Blue brags about Machamp's ability to block his enemy from punching or kicking at the same time with his four arms. {{m|Submission|Spinning}} the Pokémon in the air, Blue orders a {{m|Slam}}, leaving Snor stunned as the crowd looks on with a mix of admiration and shock.

The arena floor cracks and breaks under the pressure, and Blue smiles to himself, thanking Red for giving him the opportunity to show appreciation for evolving Machamp [[PS018|under his care]]. Confidently, he announces it's time to finish Snor, Red in silence as Bill notices a weak smile spread across his face, recognizing it as a sign that Red has yet more fight in him. Snor uses {{m|Harden}} in anticipation as Blue sends in Machamp for a final {{m|Karate Chop}}, Red and Bill both rejoicing in the success of his plan. Blue glances over to his opponent and begins to chastise him for underestimating his ability to predict such an obvious trick. Machamp strikes a part of the broken arena floor, launching Snor into the air.

Blue paraphrases a quote from {{wp|Archimedes}} on the power of levers as Snor continues to soar higher into the air, Professor Oak happy that his grandson is finally maturing, remembering back when he first started as a Trainer and was too rigid and unwilling to adapt, concluding he's ended up becoming more like Red over the course of his journey. Blue looks over at Red with confidence, the announcer commenting that any Pokémon which touches the ground outside of the area will be immediately disqualified. Just before the announcer can finish speaking, they are interrupted by Snor coming down from above, crushing Machamp with a {{m|Double-Edge}} as the spectators flee from the rubble. Red brags about Snor's maneuverability, as Professor Oak thoughtfully rubs his chin, noticing that his grandson isn't the only who who has been growing up, thinking on how Red has been getting better at keeping calm and backing up his practice with considerable theory, just like Blue.

Red celebrates with his Snorlax, happy that their idea of an aerial attack worked, while Blue crouches down and comforts his Machamp, noticing the effects of Snor's {{m|Toxic}} on his health and recalls him to his Poké Ball, knowing he did his best. Red notices Blue's change in demeanor, remembering back to when he had to stop him from attacking a {{p|Kangaskhan}} and her sick baby. Blue sends in {{p|Ninetales}}, which Red notes as being the one both of them had fought over previously. Initially deciding to respond with Snor, he stumbles backwards, reminding Red that he should give the wounded Pokémon a chance to rest. Red and Blue look over to each other, cheerfully exchanging some banter about advice they had given the other in the past. Professor Oak chuckles at the exchange, noticing that they've picked up more than battle strategies from each other, their personalities having been affected as well.

The mood is tense, the announcer declaring that a single move in either direction is enough to tip the balance. Red quickly checks his [[Pokédex]], and Bill is left wondering what his response to Ninetales will be, knowing any mistake could cost him everything. In the crowd, a [[Elite Four|group of four]] shadowed figures concentrate on the match, trying to evaluate which of the two is better.

Blue speculates over Red's inaction, knowing he must be planning on sending out something big like [[Gyara]] or [[Aero]] to counter his {{type|Fire}} moves. Giving up on waiting, he orders Ninetales to attack, forcing Red to make his choice by sending in [[Poli]]. Figuring Red assumes that a smaller target is the better choice, he calls out {{m|Fire Blast}}, restricting Red's movement and launching up Poli on a column of super-heated air. Poli's water sprays wildly, and is unable to stop himself from slamming into the ceiling. An attempt to switch in [[Pika]] ends similarly, both of them crashing into the ground as the Fire Blast fades away. To re-invigorate the attack, Blue switches into Charizard, and attempts to keep up the heat.

Red switches in Saur to the shock and horror of the crowd, even the announcer admonishing Red for the disastrous decision. Blue recognizes the meaning of the switch, understanding that he wants to finish the match with the two Pokémon his grandfather gave him, laughing that he would choose sentimentality over the victory. They both attack, Saur attempting to use {{m|Vine Whip}} to bind up Charizard, Blue beginning to chastise him until a dark rain cloud inside the building catches his attention.

Red explains that his choice to use Saur's vines was calculated, and explains that he used the water from Poli that had been turned into steam from Fire Blast and charged it with lightning using Pika's electric energy, creating a thunder cloud. Suddenly, the lightning from the cloud strikes down onto Saur's vine, functioning as a lightning rod, causing immense damage to Charizard. With Saur's vine acting as a lightning rod, Charizard is not only trapped but severely {{m|Thunder|shocked}} by the combination attack of Red's three closest Pokémon. Red proudly informs Blue that the only reason this was possible is because of the deep connection and friendship they share, and a loud explosion echoes in the arena.

The crowd stare at the stage in anticipation as the fog lifts, revealing Blue and Charizard still standing. The announcer begins to call out the winner, but they both fall to the ground in defeat. Red, barely standing, is declared the Champion, the crowd roaring as he thanks his Pokémon for their hard work, before also collapsing to the ground.

Shortly after, the award ceremony is held for the three Trainers of [[Pallet Town]], with Green being considered in third place since Professor Oak withdrew from the competition. As Green calls the two boys up to the stand, they exchange glances with each other, slight smiles on their faces. As the trio head home, the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{adv|Mew}}, who had been watching from outside the stadium, flies away.

'''Just a Spearow Carrier''' (Japanese: '''VS オニスズメ''' ''VS {{tt|Onisuzume|Spearow}}'') is the 39th chapter in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The long-awaited championship tournament has begun at the [[Indigo Plateau]], and the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]] excitedly makes his appearance as a fan, and attempts to cut in line. After being shoved back out, he spots a {{p|Spearow}} and picks it up, wondering where its owner is. The trainer pulls the Spearow out of his hands and heads over to the registration desk for the tournament, content upon noticing that {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}} have all signed up as well.

With the crowd roaring on all sides, Red has [[Poli]] defeat his opponent's {{p|Kabutops}}, earning him a place in the semi-finals, as his rival Blue does the same. He tells Red about how in the entire history of the [[Pokémon League]], every championship winner has been a Trainer from [[Pallet Town]], and wonders about which of them it will be this year. They smile at each other and Blue walks off, looking forward to battling Red in the finals.

Suddenly, Red turns to notice Green setting off her {{p|Nidoran♀}} to kiss an unsuspecting [[Wilton|Fisherman]]'s {{p|Nidoran♀}}. She talks him up, saying that since their Pokémon love each other so much, they should too, and suggests [[trade|trading]] her {{p|Weedle}} for his {{p|Butterfree}}. Green gets a bit surprised to see that Red has been watching, but quickly recovers and greets him. After he asks her what she's doing here, she gestures to the screen behind her, showing that she will also be in the semi-finals. As she turns and walks off, she declares her intent to win, revealing that she's also from Pallet Town.

Red is shocked, and attempts to follow after her to get more information, but {{adv|Bill}} appears and stops him to congratulate him on his efforts, and asks him if he's seen the match-ups yet. Seeing that he's scheduled to fight Blue next, he enters a slump, having hoped both of them would make it to the finals. As they join the spectators, Bill comforts Red as Green faces off the mysterious "Dr. O". Green releases [[Jiggly]], her {{p|Jigglypuff}}, while Dr. O reveals his Spearow; both Pokémon selections draw remarks of confusion from the crowd. Red himself is familiar with Green's tactics of picking a cute Pokémon to let the opponent bring their guard down, but he has no idea what Dr. O is planning to do with his Spearow.

Confidently, Green accuses her foe of underestimating her as she calls a {{m|Tri Attack}} from Jiggly, gleefully declaring to have won all her League matches with the first hit. To her surprise, not only has Spearow not fainted, it retaliates with a {{m|Fury Attack}} that corners Green and Jiggly. Hurriedly Green calls out {{m|Sing}}, instantly inducing drowsiness in the audience except for Blue, who points out that Jiggly doesn't have the speed to counter {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, Spearow effortlessly able to stay out of range.

Green is left annoyed and has Jiggly rapidly fire off Tri Attacks, drawing Red to yell at her from the audience to switch to an aerial battle. Green nervously admits that she doesn't have any Pokémon capable of flight, to Red's shock. Dr. O reveals that all of his Pokémon are Flying types, Red concluding that he must have known her weakness ahead of time. Suddenly Dr. O appears behind her, letting her know this is her punishment for stealing. Wondering who he is, Green notices an opening and stops Dr. O from moving with Jiggly's {{m|Disable}}, giving her time to switch into [[Blasty]].

Quickly she grabs onto Blasty and commands a {{m|Hydro Pump}}, launching them both into the air, content that she's found a way to battle in the air despite her lack of Flying types. The blast strikes Dr. O and his Spearow from above, causing the mask on his face to begin to slip off. Dr. O smiles, and asks her if she knows how some birds can repeat back words. Leaving Green confused, he clarifies that his Spearow can do that with attacks, and calls out {{m|Mirror Move}}, reflecting the Hydro Pump back up at Green and Blasty, leaving them both to collapse down to the ground. Red nervously notices how low Blasty's health is, as Green is trying to quickly back away from the approaching Spearow.

Suddenly cowering in fear on the ground, she yells for Spearow to not come any closer, leaving the crowd stunned and confused. Dr. O stops and begins to tell a story from six years ago when a little girl was abducted by a large {{p|Ho-Oh|Legendary bird Pokémon}}. Having a grandson of the same age, he felt the need to help out in the search, and involved himself in the investigation so thoroughly that he could never forget her face. Years later, he was left shocked when he saw the same girl on his security cameras, having stole a {{p|Squirtle}} out of his [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|laboratory]]. The mask slips all the way off his face, and he is revealed to be {{adv|Professor Oak}}, much to the crowd's surprise.

He comments that he's not surprised that such an experience would leave her afraid of bird Pokémon, as Green channels her fear into having Blasty use {{m|Water Gun}}. Another Mirror Move from Professor Oak erodes away the last bit of Blasty's health, leaving him as the winner of the semi-final match. Green collapses to the ground in defeat, and Professor Oak asks for an explanation for her theft.

She had to grow up in a strange place without any family, only knowing that she came from a place called Pallet Town. Later she found out that two boys her age, also from Pallet Town, had been provided with Pokémon and a [[Pokédex]] and had been able to start their journeys. Despondent, she begins to cry, wishing she had the opportunity to go out on the same journey that they had. Professor Oak approaches her, and places a Pokédex into her hands, asking her to promise him that she understands now that stealing is wrong. He announces her as the third Trainer from Pallet Town, and she begins crying again, Professor Oak comforting her. In the audience, Bill is moved, also being familiar with the experience of [[PS009|having been abducted]] by a large bird Pokémon.

In the locker room, the Professor fans himself off after having worked up a sweat, and Blue comments that whoever wins the semi-final match between him and Red will have to battle him in the finals. Professor Oak reveals that he won a prior tournament, and announces his withdrawal, allowing the finals to be between Red and Blue. Over the PA system, the crowd is informed of the news of the second semi-finals match now becoming the finals, much to Red's elation.

==Major events==
* {{adv|Green}} is revealed to own a {{p|Nidoran♀}} and a {{p|Weedle}}.
* Green, {{adv|Professor Oak|Dr. O}}, {{adv|Red}}, and {{adv|Blue}} reach the semi-finals of the [[Indigo League]] Tournament.
* Green reveals that she's also from [[Pallet Town]].
* Green is given the third [[Pokédex]] and becomes a [[Pokédex holder]].
* Green is defeated by Dr. O in the semi-finals, who then withdraws from the competition, leaving Red and Blue to battle in the final round of the Indigo League Tournament.

===Errors===
* In the [[VIZ Media]] first edition, when the Pokémon League scoreboard is shown, {{adv|Blue}} is identified as "GREEN" and {{adv|Green}} is identified as "BLUE". This error is a result of Green and Blue switching names for the English translation. This error was also present in the compilation volume [[The Best of Pokémon Adventures: Red]], but was corrected for the second edition re-translation.
* Green says she has no [[Flying (type)|Flying type]] Pokemon, but her [[Ditto (Pokémon)|Ditto]] could [[Imposter (Ability)|Transform]] into [[Professor Oak|Dr. O's]] [[Spearow (Pokémon)|Spearow]] making it a flying type.
* In the second edition, Bill's line about knowing how it feels to be snatched by a giant bird Pokémon (in his case, the Fearow was "giant" because he had been fused with a Rattata at the time) is inexplicably changed to him saying that he knows how it feels to be snatched by a "Legendary bird". This makes no sense as Fearow is not a Legendary Pokémon.

Talk:Run Away (Ability)

==Wild Pokémon using Run Away==
When I was playing Platinum, I encountered a wild Ratatta. It fainted one of my Pokémon and when I tried to escape, I couldn't. However, the message "The wild Ratatta fled!" appeared on screen after this and the battle ended. I'm assuming it had the ability Run Away, and if that's true, then in how many generations can wild Pokémon use the ability? Does anyone know? [[User:Aggron989|<span style="color:#858585;">''AGG''</span>]][[User talk:Aggron989|<span style="color:#858585;">''RON''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Aggron989|<span style="color:#444444;">''989''</span>]] 20:55, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
:I was able to replicate this somewhat against a wild Raticate in Diamond (I checked its Ability with Trace to make sure it was Run Away). As far as I can tell, it wasn't that my attempt to flee failed, but that its Run Away Ability caused the success message to be displayed as "The wild Raticate fled." I think this is simply an error in the displayed message. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 18:48, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
::Yes, consistently, whenever I fled after a Pokémon of mine fainted against an opponent with Run Away, the message "The wild <opponent> fled." was displayed. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 16:51, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
I can confirm this on Pokemon Pearl with Ponyta that Run Away functions as "The wild [Pokemon] fled!" when fleeing after being defeated instead of the normal message "Got away safely!". However, it was only if my Pokemon that fainted was faster than the wild Pokemon with Run Away. If my Pokemon was slower, I would just get the usual 'Can't Escape!' message.[User: xCrossedPoisonx] 18:07, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

== Ability with negative effects ==

Why is this listed as an ability with a negative effect? I would have thought being guaranteed to run from battle whenever you chose to was a good thing. Well maybe if it was a shiny and you tried to run away by mistake [[User:Megalorex|Megalorex]] ([[User talk:Megalorex|talk]]) 13:58, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

== Run Away in EoS ==

It says “In the Explorers series and Gates to Infinity, Run Away also protects against becoming Stuck by moves like Mean Look, or Abilities like Shadow Tag, when the HP drops below 50%.”
I don’t know if it’s just a mistake in the wording and it’s not actually meant to imply otherwise, but I know for a fact that in Explorers of Sky at least, a Pokémon’s HP doesn’t need to be 50% or lower in order for Run Away to protect from being Stuck.

== Bypassing traping moves and abilities ==

Yes, a wild Pokemon can still escape with Run Away.

I used Spirit Shackle on Tamdemaus and it still escaped the next turn. [[User:Nino938|Nino938]] ([[User talk:Nino938|talk]]) 19:59, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

==Move Pokémon section==
The Pokémon section is quite long and difficult to scroll through with all the detail included. Wouldn't it be better to just have a more succinct list on this page, and have the lengthier descriptions on a separate page, similar to [[Pokkén Tournament DX]] (but with one article rather than individual ones)? -[[User:Damien Nightstar|Damien Nightstar]] ([[User talk:Damien Nightstar|talk]]) 10:33, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

==Event Stage - Full Fury Battle in Mer Stadium inaccuracy==
The map availability section of this event states that the map is available Saturdays-Mondays, but this doesn't apply to every Saturday/Monday. I'm wondering whether we should change the availability to "Certain Saturdays-Mondays," or something like that. I vaguely remember there was supposed to be a pattern to them, like the first Saturday of every month, but I can't verify that. If it is true though, we might want to update to reflect that. Thoughts? [[User:Dougbro1|Dougbro1]] ([[User talk:Dougbro1|talk]]) 13:35, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
==Public Test Server==
Ever since June 30th, 2022, there has been a Public Test Server for Pokémon UNITE and I was wondering if there should be any mention of it on the game's page. It has been used as a way to test new unreleased Pokémon, maps, balance changes, and more. I think it is major enough to include, as it gives us an insight into future additions to the game that have been already mentioned on other pages related to UNITE, such as the future addition of Sableye as a playable Pokémon. [[User:Luigi1234|Luigi1234]] ([[User talk:Luigi1234|talk]]) 06:18, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
:If anyone can access it, yeah. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:10, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

== Pokémon Unite infobox? ==

I was wondering if infoboxes specific to Unite have been created so that we can add them to each Pokémon in their respective pages, in the side games section? --[[User:Oddkidd|Oddkidd]] ([[User talk:Oddkidd|talk]]) 08:39, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

== Leaked Pokémon should not be listed? ==

I believe that only officially confirmed to be released Pokémon should be allowed to be listed on here. --[[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 21:04, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
:Falinks and Ceruledge were mentioned in the Pokémon Day 2024 trailer. We mention them on the list pages but they only get their own pages close to release. I do not know exactly how Ho-Oh was announced, but if it is available on the public test server, it may be allowed. → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|<span style="color:red">Pika</span>]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|<span style="color:green">Tepig</span>]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|<span style="color:blue">999</span>]] 00:06, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
:Yeah, Ho-Oh hasn't been added to the public test server yet, its moveset and its move icons got leaked by someone who also leaked a couple things about Ceruledge around the same time. So yeah, I think it could probably get removed for now until we know for sure that Ho-Oh is coming. [[User:Luigi1234|Luigi1234]] ([[User talk:Luigi1234|talk]]) 02:00, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

== It's Mergin Time! ==

So that table sure looks swell. But, if we think about it, both Welcome Gifts and Beginner Challenge are just events. And only one of those events is a part of the game's plot, and even then only because it gets a personal introduction from a character. This page needs all the space it can get because UNITE is overloaded with named things that '''all''' need mentioning here. (Did you know there's a Friendship Points mechanic?) I think the section with table for these two events needs to be cut down to just describing what they are, with the table moved to the [[List of events in Pokémon UNITE|events page]]. It's not like inconsistent formatting in is a problem, that page is already dealing with that because as it happens, no one has a time machine and the majority of events are missing. There's only so much one offical blog can do to backfill that kind of data. [[User:Salmancer|Salmancer]] ([[User talk:Salmancer|talk]]) 01:04, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
:I think that makes sense. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 11:55, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

== Create TiMi Studio Group page? ==

Since they are directly involved with developing a Pokémon game, why is there not a page for them on Bulbapedia? --[[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 20:40, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
:The simple answer is that noone has created a page for it yet. (I remember it took a while for [[Niantic]], too.) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 19:58, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

== Should a List of glitches (UNITE) page be created or is it irrelevant because the glitches are patched out? ==

[[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 07:58, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
:I don't see any reason not to, since glitches get patched out of every game anyway. Go ahead![[User:Salmancer|Salmancer]] ([[User talk:Salmancer|talk]]) 15:41, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
::Not sure why not. By the way, the title would need to be "List of glitches in Pokémon UNITE" per the updates to the [[manual of style]]. [[User:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;color:#32b761">'''Land'''</span>]][[User talk:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;color:#5f6775"><small>'''fish7'''</small></span>]] 17:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

== We need Shivre city ==

Someone needs to add a new Shivre city page, I cannot do this. [[User:Nino938|Nino938]] ([[User talk:Nino938|talk]]) 19:45, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

:Did you mean you cannot create the page? Your account was created just recently, so it needs to be around for a while and have a minimum number of edits to become {{bp|autoconfirmed}} to be able to create pages. → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|<span style="color:#FAC000">Super</span>]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|<span style="color:#E62829">Pika</span>]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|<span style="color:#2E50D8">Pool13</span>]] 19:53, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

'''Long Live the Nidoqueen?!''' (Japanese: '''VS ニドクイン''' ''VS Nidoqueen'') is the 38th chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
With {{adv|Red}} revealing [[Aero]], {{adv|Giovanni}} is barely given time to recognize the boy's trick as Red commands a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, fainting [[Giovanni's Beedrill]] in one hit and creating a fog that blankets the field. As the fog clears, Red is shocked to see Giovanni gone, the foundations of the [[Viridian Gym]] rumbling and shaking as the building begins to collapse. Just before the building crumbles to the ground, Red is able to rescue [[Poli]], a large rock striking him in the back on the way out.

As he lies in the grass, beginning to recover, he looks up to notice a {{p|Nidoking}} and reasons his {{m|Earthquake}} must have destroyed the Gym. Suddenly, Giovanni and the rest of his {{type|Ground}} Pokémon are in front of him, and he congratulates Red for forcing him to use his strongest Pokémon after dispatching Beedrill and {{p|Cloyster}}. Red calls on Aero, but Giovanni's {{p|Rhyhorn}} easily dispatches him with {{m|Tail Whip}}, which is followed up with {{m|Fissure}} as an attempt to trap him inside the deep crevices formed by the attack.

Barely hanging on to the edge, Giovanni stands over him, discussing the previous [[Gym Leader]]s he's battled and their type proficiencies, announcing himself as master of Ground-type Pokémon. He lists off his prized Pokémon, calling them the gems of the Viridian City Gym, acknowledging that Red must have heard of his prowess before. Red mulls over his situation, being caught in battle with the most powerful Gym Leader while his [[Poké Ball]]s sit at the bottom of the chasm below him. Glancing over, he notices two of his Poké Balls resting on a quickly crumbling segment of the landscape, and quickly makes his move for them.

Just before he can grab onto them, Giovanni has {{p|Dugtrio}} use {{m|Dig}} to break the opening mechanisms of the Poké Balls, preventing Red from sending out either of the two Pokémon. As Red drops to his knees in frustration, Giovanni begins to explain what he's been up against this whole time, every place he visited and fought at was already under his control. He reveals the steps of his master plan, sending all Pokémon captured by Team Rocket to [[Celadon City]] for experimentation and bio-engineering, then to [[Saffron City]] for battle training. The Pokémon were then shipped via [[Vermilion City]] to [[Cinnabar Island]] by the [[S.S. Anne]], the transportation by sea being required due to [[Brock]], [[Misty]], and [[Erika]] watching all the travel routes passing through their cities. Finally they were brought to [[Viridian Forest]] to reawaken their primal instincts, creating an unstoppable Pokémon army for Giovanni in his supposed absence.

Red suddenly regains his confidence, refusing to lose after having learned of Giovanni's evil plans. [[Pika]] from inside his Poké Ball bounces up to Red's hand, his only remaining Pokémon left to defeat Giovanni and [[Team Rocket]] with him. Giovanni taunts him, laying out exactly how the fight will end. Red will have to spend five seconds commanding Pika to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which gives him plenty of time to strike first with {{p|Nidoqueen}}'s {{m|Poison Sting}}.

Giovanni is suddenly left in shock as Pika's speed proves itself more than he could have anticipated, a Thunderbolt striking both the leader and his Pokémon with two seconds left to spare. They collapse to the ground as Red explains he had Pika charge up his electricity in preparation for the attack inside his Poké Ball, shaving two seconds off Giovanni's estimations. Giovanni sputters, astounded anyone could hold a Poké Ball charged with so much electricity, until he notices Red's electric-proof glove that [[PS030|he stole off]] of [[Lt. Surge]]. A vacant expression comes over Giovanni's face as he collapses back to the ground, unable to believe that his own technology could lead to his downfall. Red pats Pika on the head, letting him know his real downfall was due to the pain he sensed in the Pokémon he attempted to turn savage. Suddenly, Red collapses as well, completely passed out.

Red wakes up a while later back at a medical facility, much to the relief of Pika and {{adv|Yellow|the girl}} he helped previously. Happy that he's alive, she explains he was found at the edge of the Viridian Forest, and that the townspeople had gone into the forest to calm the raging Pokémon there. Red begins getting dressed, preparing to offer his assistance, as the girl instead suggests he should stay in the city and help teach people about Pokémon, now that the Viridian Gym has collapsed and the position of Gym Leader is vacant. Red is flattered, but decides to leave, promising to come back after he's achieved enough to become the best Gym Leader ever.

* [[Pika]]'s {{m|Thunderbolt}} should not have had any effect on {{adv|Giovanni}}'s {{p|Nidoqueen}}, as it is a {{type|Ground}}.
* In the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} translation, {{adv|Red}} incorrectly refers to {{p|Nidoking}} as Nidoqueen.
* In all [[VIZ Media]] editions, there is a glaring mistake in the translation of {{adv|Giovanni}}'s explanation of his master plan, with the translated text stating that the stolen Pokémon were sent to Viridian City via Cinnabar Island and ''then'' to Vermilion City to be placed on the S.S. Anne. As the picture graph in the panel itself shows, it is in fact the other way around, as the Pokémon were brought to Cinnabar Island by the S.S. Anne after they had been transferred from Saffron City to Vermilion City.

'''Wanted: Pikachu!''' (Japanese: '''VS ピカチュウ''' ''VS Pikachu'') is the fourth chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
As {{adv|Red}} arrives in [[Pewter City]], a group of angry townspeople rush past him, as a wanted poster falls off the wall nearby. He picks it up, revealing that the townspeople are chasing after a wild {{p|Pikachu}}, and Red decides to help out. They corner Pikachu, catching it under a net as it stops to eat some fruit from a nearby food stall. Pikachu gets away using its electricity to shock the merchant, baiting more chase from the angry crowd.

Red decides to stop standing by, and calls out [[Saur]]. The Pikachu attacks Saur, to no effect as Red commands out {{m|Sleep Powder}}, putting Pikachu to sleep, allowing it to be caught effortlessly. Red holds up Pikachu's [[Poké Ball]] with pride, as the townspeople celebrate. They treat him to a lavish meal for taking care of the pest that was ruining their businesses, and ask him about where he's from and why he's in Pewter City. He shows off his [[Pokédex]] as Pikachu starts getting agitated inside its Poké Ball.

Red takes Pikachu out into a field in an attempt to better befriend it, unable to make any headway before {{adv|Blue}} shows up and chastises him for taking such a casual attitude to filling out his Pokédex. Red gets angry and starts gearing up for a fight, but before they can start, Blue mentions he's going to seek out [[Brock]], the [[Gym Leader|leader]] of the [[Pewter Gym|Pewter City Gym]], to earn the {{Badge|Boulder}}. He challenges Red to see which of them can earn the badge first, teasing him by saying it won't be much of a challenge when he can't even train Pikachu. Red accepts, and Blue leaves, derisively wishing him good luck.

Afterwards, Red finds a poster laying in the grass saying that the Pewter City Gym's next challenge is the following day at noon. Red gets himself excited at the prospect of beating Blue, before remembering that his Pokémon are low on health and decides to head to a [[Pokémon Center]] first thing next morning. He finds the Pokémon Center closed, their machines damaged by vandals, leaving his disobedient Pikachu as the only Pokémon he has at full health. Red rushes into the gym, stopping as he sees a battle already in progress, the crowd cheering as a {{p|Charmeleon}} sends out a move.

'''The Secret of Kangaskhan''' (Japanese: '''VS ガルーラ''' ''VS {{tt|Garura|Kangaskhan}}'') is the third chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}[[Red (Adventures)|Red]] says that as long as he has [[Poli]] and [[Saur]], they're bound to catch every Pokémon. Meanwhile, [[Blue's Charmander]] defeats a {{p|Venomoth}}, much to {{adv|Blue}}'s disappointment, as he already has one he also appears to be waiting for a [[Kangaskhan (Pokémon)|Unknown Pokémon]].

In the same part of the forest, Red is looking for a {{p|Caterpie}} when he sees movement in a bush and sends Poli to attack. However, he is attacked first by Blue's Charmander, who believed Poliwhirl was a [[wild Pokémon]]. Red becomes angry and tries to attack him, but Blue catches his fist. Red recognizes the boy as the one that found the Phantom Pokémon, {{adv|Mew}}. Suddenly, they hear a loud noise, and Blue states that he found what he was looking for. A Kangaskan shows up; Blue doesn't lose any time and attacks her with Charmander. Blue takes out his Pokédex, wanting to add Kangaskhan's data. When Red shows his Pokédex, they realize that they are rivals with the same mission. Red also learns that Blue is the grandson of the famous Professor Oak.

The fire causes a lot of damage to the Kangaskhan, and Blue tries to capture her a couple of times with {{i|Poké Ball}}s but she repels them; however, she doesn't attack. Red perceives that something is wrong and has Poli stop Charmander's attack, and then runs over to the wild Pokémon and looks at her pouch. Her baby was poisoned, so Red uses an [[Antidote]] to cure it. The mother Kangaskhan thanks him and leaves. Blue is mad at Red's intervention, but Red still introduces himself to him, getting to learn Blue's name in response as he storms off. Red taunts him as he leaves, saying he'll never lose to him. They both leave in separate directions, both on the path to becoming the greatest Pokémon trainer of all time.

==Major events==
* {{adv|Blue}} is revealed to own a [[Pokédex]].
* Blue is revealed to own a {{p|Venomoth}}.

'''Bulbasaur, Come Home!''' (Japanese: '''VS ゴーリキー''' ''VS {{tt|Goriky|Machoke}}'') is the second chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
After ringing the doorbell multiple times [[Red (Adventures)|Red]] finds the door unlocked and enters [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], in hopes that [[Professor Oak|Prof. Oak]] would teach him how to be a great [[Pokémon Trainer]], he finds a dark, empty laboratory filled with hundreds of [[Poké Ball]]s containing Pokémon. In one of the Poké Balls, he finds on a table is a {{p|Bulbasaur}}. Amazed by a Pokémon he has never seen before, Red shows the Bulbasaur to [[Poli]], while both are still in their Poké Balls.

Bulbasaur becomes frightened of Poli, just as Professor Oak arrives and mistakes Red for a thief trying to steal the laboratory's Pokémon. Oak rushes up to him and accuses Red of stealing, which sends the startled Red tumbling back into a computer, and a button accidentally releases a number of the laboratory's Pokémon from their Poké Balls. Oak is furious at Red, and just as Red is about to say that he didn't mean to, a {{p|Pidgey}} flies overhead and poos on Professor Oak's face. Oak orders Red to return all of the Pokémon to their Poké Balls. After a while, Red manages to catch most of them.

A few Pokémon are still missing, and Professor Oak hopes that none have escaped the laboratory. Red says that he'll get them back too, but Oak stops him and accuses him of being a thief again. Red denies it and apologizes for entering uninvited but insists on getting them back. However, Professor Oak tells him that it is late and the sun is starting to set. Red says that he is not giving up and rushes outside. Oak follows him on a bicycle, insisting that Red will never find them unless he helps Red identify the missing Pokémon, and adding that he'll turn Red in after they find them.

The duo reach [[Viridian City]] and Prof. Oak says he's too old for this, they find one of the laboratory's Pokémon, a {{p|Meowth}}, which Red manages to return to its Poké Ball. Red remarks that the last missing Pokémon should be the Bulbasaur and Prof. Oak does not seem keen to find it, they find it shortly after. Frightened, it runs away into the closed [[Viridian City Gym]] with Red and Oak chasing after it. The inside of the Gym is dark and covered in cobwebs. Red bumps into a statue of {{adv|Giovanni}} as Professor Oak spots Bulbasaur standing next to the Gym's wall.

Professor Oak tries to persuade Bulbasaur to come, but Bulbasaur attacks him with a {{m|Tackle}}. Oak winces in pain as he argues back that he is supposed to be Bulbasaur's owner, implying that Bulbasaur should listen to him. Red steps in front of Oak and tries to comfort Bulbasaur, saying that it's alright to be nervous at being in the outside world, that he understands how [[Saur]] was kept separate from the other Pokémon in the lab and only ever saw Professor Oak.

Bulbasaur quickly warms up to Red. As Red pets him and offers him something to eat, the [[Gym]] door opens. The group looks up to find a wild {{p|Machoke}} in the Gym, and it suddenly attacks Red. Bulbasaur snares the Machoke from behind with a {{m|Vine Whip}} to stop its fist from hitting Red. Red is amazed and asks Oak what Bulbasaur's best move is, but Oak has fainted from shock. Red then realizes that Bulbasaur has a bulb on his back and quickly wonders if the bulb can be helpful, but Machoke attacks again.

Red notices a small ray of sunlight shining through the closed window shades. Hitting on an idea, he quickly opens the shades and allows the sunlight to shine inside. Bulbasaur's bulb begins to collect the sunlight and shines, releasing a powerful {{m|Solar Beam}} and knocking Machoke out instantly. Later Professor Oak awakes and asks Red if he knew about Bulbasaur's Solar Beam, but Red admits that he only knew that sunlight is transformed into energy by plants, and thus assumed that it would help Bulbasaur. Oak laughs, surprised that Red figured it out on his own.

Professor Oak congratulates and rewards Red by allowing him to keep the Bulbasaur. Red is overjoyed. Now that their work is done, Red clarifies that he didn't break into Professor Oak's laboratory, he merely came to learn how to be a better Pokémon Trainer. In response, Professor Oak poses a question to Red: what does it take to be great? Red ponders this and Oak answers that it's what is in his heart that counts. He comments that Red's connection with Bulbasaur during battle was remarkable. He tells Red that this is what he needs to become a great Trainer.

He then gives red a [[Pokédex]] and explanes what it does, he also tells him that he will not catch many Pokemon in the city, and he suggests [[Viridian Forest]] because red will find Pokémon he's never encountered.

At the end red says that because he was in a hurry, he does not have many [[Poké Ball|Poké Balls]] but sense his Pokémon are with him, he will catch them all.

'''A Glimpse of the Glow''' (Japanese: '''VS ミュウ''' ''VS Mew'') is the first chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
In [[Pallet Town]], a group of young children are attempting to catch a {{p|Nidorino}}. After failing numerous times, a boy named {{adv|Red}} walks up to the group and explains that if they want to catch a Pokémon, they must weaken it in battle first. He then sends out his very own [[Poli]]whirl to deal with the Nidorino. After the Poliwhirl weakens it by using {{m|Water Gun}}, Red throws a {{i|Poké Ball}} at the Nidorino and successfully catches him. Red then [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] by telling the reader that he is the best [[Pokémon Trainer]] around, explains the concept of Pokémon to the reader, and tells the reader that he will catch all the Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}}.

While heading home, one of the boys in the group asks Red if he knows {{adv|Professor Oak}}, and then tells Red that they can learn a thing or two from him. Red then tells the group that they do not need that "old nut," as Red can teach them everything they need to know. Another member of the group then tells Red that {{adv|Blue|Oak's grandson}} is one of the best Trainers around and that he was taught by Oak himself. Red then tells the group that he does not care who this powerful Trainer is, as Red can easily defeat him anyway. The group then says goodbye to Red, and he continues to walk home. Lost in thought, he accidentally runs into a group of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. One of the Grunts scolds him, and, as they walk away, he notices a pair of [[Great Ball]]s on each of their belts. Curious, Red decides to follow them and hides in the tall grass, where he overhears a conversation between the Grunts about a [[Mew (Pokémon)|Phantom Pokémon]] in the [[Western Forest|West Wood]]. After hearing this, Red is determined to catch it and runs home to get some Poké Balls.

After getting a lot of Poké Balls Red enters the West Wood, he sees a {{adv|Blue|Trainer}} with a {{TP|Blue|Charmander}} battling the mysterious Pokémon Red was searching for. Intrigued, Red decides to watch the intense battle. However, after a short while, the Trainer recalls the Charmander before the battle is over. Red gets mad and yells at the Trainer stating he could have coght it. He then sends out his Poliwhirl. However, the Poliwhirl is quickly beaten by the mysterious Pokémon, which leaves Red dumbfounded. The Trainer tells Red that good Trainers know what their limitations are, and then he walks away. The group of Team Rocket Grunts appear, and when they notice that the ground is all burned up, one of the Grunts demand answers from Red, but another Grunt reminds him that they are in the Woods for the Mew, not for questioning kids.

Red returns to Pallet Town, and when he sees [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], he decides that the only way to become a good Pokémon Trainer is through Oak, and so Red rings the doorbell of the lab.

==Possible origin: the Taowu==
One of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Perils Four Perils] of Chinese myth, the [https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%A2%BC%E6%9D%8C Taowu] appears to be the inspiration for Chien-Pao. It too is traditionally depicted as a feline creature (a tiger, in Taowu's case) with large fangs or tusks. Additionally, the fact that it's one of the Four Perils lines up with the fact that it's one of four Treasures of Ruin, especially given that all the other three also each correlate with one of the perils.

:Four Perils have been removed from the articles due to the individual creatures don't actually correlate to the treasure of ruins, not to mention ancient text are not consistent with the depiction of the Fours Perils. In addition, none of Four Perils is based on a snail, while both Taowu and Qiongqi have been depicted with the features of tigers. --[[User:Chao|<font color="#2B547E">'''超龍'''</font>]]<sub><small>「'''[[User talk:Chao|Chao]]'''」</small></sub> 03:41, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

'''Run Away''' (Japanese: '''にげあし''' ''Run Away'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
===In battle===
A Pokémon with this Ability can always [[escape|flee]] and use {{m|Teleport}} successfully, regardless of {{cat|trapping moves}} and {{cat|Trapping Abilities|Abilities}} (including {{m|Ingrain}} and {{cat|binding moves}}). This Ability has no effect on [[recall|switching out]]. Run Away does not guarantee escape in the [[Battle Pyramid]], but if a Pokémon with this Ability successfully flees, this escape will be credited to Run Away.

In Generations III and IV, when the player's Pokémon with Run Away faints in a wild battle, if the player attempts to flee instead of sending out another Pokémon, they will escape without fail. From Generation V onward, escape is no longer guaranteed in this situation.

Until Generation V, when activated, the message "'''<Pokémon name> escaped using Run Away!'''" will appear. From Generation V onward, a banner with Run Away shows up instead.

If the {{p|Nihilego}} encountered at [[Aether Paradise]] has its Ability changed to Run Away, it will be able to flee on turn 5 of the battle even if it is trapped. If this happens, the text stating "You got away safely!" will still display, despite Nihilego being the one fleeing and not the player.

===Outside of battle===
Run Away has no effect outside of battle.

==In other games==
==={{g|Mystery Dungeon series}}===
Prior to {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, a Pokémon with Run Away will become {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Miscellaneous status conditions|Terrified}} and run from all Pokémon when its HP is down below 50%. Leaders are unaffected.

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|series]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], Run Away also protects against becoming {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Conditions affecting mobility|Stuck}} by moves like Mean Look, or Abilities like Shadow Tag, when the HP drops below 50%.

In Super Mystery Dungeon, Run Away simply prevents the Pokémon from getting stuck, regardless of the Pokémon's HP.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
* In ''[[PS310|Just My Luck...Shuckle]]'', {{adv|Crystal}}'s {{p|Rapidash}} was revealed to have Run Away as his Ability by {{adv|Emerald}}'s [[Pokédex]].
* In {{FB|Pokémon Adventures|volume 24}}, {{adv|Green}}'s {{p|Snubbull}} was revealed to have Run Away as his Ability.
* In {{FB|Pokémon Adventures|volume 40}}, {{adv|Platinum}}'s {{p|Pachirisu}} was revealed to have Run Away as her Ability.
* {{adv|Ruby}}'s {{p|Poochyena}}, [[Nana]], and [[Professor Elm]]'s {{p|Sentret}} were revealed to have Run Away as their Ability.

==Trivia==
* Because {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon are guaranteed to flee from any wild battle regardless of Speed, {{p|Gimmighoul}}'s Run Away Ability is redundant unless its type is changed via a type altering move like {{m|Soak}}.

Preceding the release of Volume 1 in North America were five monthly releases containing three chapters each, comprising the entire Volume 1 as well as the first chapter of {{PAV|2}}. These monthly comic book issues were released by [[VIZ Media]] between September 24, 1999 and January 28, 2000, followed by the Volume 1 release in April. As a bonus, these monthly releases each contained a sheet of stickers which were not included in the regular volume releases. The following monthly comic book issues were released:

* [[Mysterious Mew]] (September 24, 1999)
* [[Wanted: Pikachu]] (October 29, 1999)
* [[Starmie Surprise]] (November 19, 1999)

* Despite {{adv|Red}}'s [[Poli]] debuting as a {{p|Poliwhirl}}, the contents page of this volume show Red with a {{p|Poliwag}}.
* {{p|Charmander}} has spines on its back on the title page, similar to its [[Generation I]] back sprites, but this is absent in future generations.

===Errors===
*There are a few spelling and grammar errors in the brief description of the second volume. 
:* "See Red in his disguise!" is "See Red is disguise!".
:* "An appearance by {{p|Mew}}!" is "An appearans by Mew!".
:* "{{p|Mewtwo|A mysterious living thing!}}" is "Mysterious Living Thing!".
* In [[VIZ Media]]'s second edition, the Adventure Route Map has {{p|Electabuzz}} misspelled as "Electrabuzz".
* In the overview of Red's team at the end of the book, [[Saur]] is listed as a pure {{t|Grass}} type instead of {{2t|Grass|Poison}}.
* There is a printing error that occurs in the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} edition. Two pages are repeated by accident, effectively removing two pages entirely: page 108 is replaced by page 101, and page 110 is replaced by page 103.

'''Pokémon Adventures''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターSPECIAL''' ''Pocket Monsters SPECIAL'') is a {{pkmn|manga}} series authored by [[Hidenori Kusaka]] and illustrated by [[Satoshi Yamamoto]]. It was illustrated by [[Mato]] for the first nine volumes. It is published by [[Shogakukan]] under the Ladybug Comics Special (Japanese: てんとう虫コミックススペシャル) series. It debuted in Japan on March 3rd, 1997.

It is popularly known as '''Pokémon Special''' even outside of Japan, and is often shortened as PokéSpe (Japanese: ポケスペ / ポケSP ''PokeSupe'').

Unlike the {{pkmn|animated series}}—which, though drawing much inspiration from the games, does not follow them exactly—Pokémon Adventures is a mostly game-based manga, with the twenty-five main characters taking their names from the [[core series]] games and their various adventures tending to stay restricted to their home [[region]]. While the animated series initially indicated the dangers of catching a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]], the main characters of Pokémon Adventures have more frequently captured and used their own legends, much as the {{player}} can in the games, whereas the characters in the animated series have only caught such Pokémon on rare occasions. Pokémon Adventures also contains darker elements than other media, including more frequent depictions of certain characters and some Pokémon [[Death in the Pokémon world|dying]].

On October 26, 2009, it was announced that the magazines Shogaku Gonensei and Shogaku Rokunensei (at the time serializing the {{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}) would cease publication at the end of the fiscal year.<ref name="cancel1">[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-10-26/shogaku-gonensei-shogaku-rokunensei-chuchu-to-end]</ref> In February 2012, Shogaku Yonensei—which was serializing the {{MangaArc|Black & White}} at the time—also ceased publication.<ref name="cancel2">[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-12-03/shogakukan-shogaku-sannensei-yonensei-magazines-end]</ref> Publication continued in CoroCoro Ichiban! and [[Pokémon Fan (Japan)|Pokémon Fan]] magazine.

In 2000, Pokémon creator [[Satoshi Tajiri]] endorsed the series, stating "This is the comic that most resembles the world I was trying to convey."<ref name="tajiri">[http://web.archive.org/web/20021215144736/www.vizkids.com/pokemon/adventures/characters.html]</ref> [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the president and CEO of [[The Pokémon Company]] and [[Pokémon]] producer, has also praised the series, saying, "I want every Pokémon fan to read this comic!"<ref name="ishihara">[http://web.archive.org/web/20030202213736/http://www.vizkids.com/pokemon/adventures/index.html]</ref>

==Terminology==
{{main|Terminology of Pokémon Adventures}}

==Story arcs==
{{spoilers}}
The various story arcs of Pokémon Adventures span the nine [[generation]]s of [[Pokémon games]] so far. These arcs are named typically for the games they correspond to. The protagonists of each arc typically also share these names.

===''Red, Green & Blue'' arc (Volume 1–3)===
[[File:Pokemon Adventures volume 1 VIZ cover.jpg|thumb|200px|Pokémon Adventures volume 1 (VIZ Media digital edition)]]
{{main|Red, Green & Blue arc (Adventures)}}
The first arc of Pokémon Adventures, much like the [[Red (game)|First games]], chronicles the journeys of {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} across the [[Kanto]] region. Later, a third [[Pokémon Trainer]], {{adv|Green}}, is added into the plot. Together, the three defeat [[Team Rocket]] an evil organization that uses Pokémon for illegal acts, and there [[Giovanni|Leader]]. Red also helps [[Blaine]] to capture {{adv|Mewtwo}} and saves {{adv|Yellow|a young girl}} from [[wild Pokémon]] in [[Viridian Forest]]. In the end, Red defeats Blue in the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]] and becomes a [[Pokémon Champion]].

===''Yellow'' arc (Volume 4–7)===
{{main|Yellow arc (Adventures)}}
Two years after Red obtains his title of the Champion in the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]], he disappears after leaving to answer a challenge from someone named [[Bruno]]. One month later, {{adv|Professor Oak}} discovers Red's {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Pika]], injured at his doorstep. Soon after the arrival of Pika, a young Trainer comes into the Professor's lab. The Trainer, {{adv|Yellow}}, claims to be a friend of Red who wishes to look for him with Pika. While Professor Oak is still skeptical about Yellow, especially of the [[Viridian Forest]] native's ability to heal Pokémon and sense their emotions just by touching them, he eventually entrusts this mission and Red's upgraded [[Pokédex]] to the young Trainer. However, this event only triggers the revelation of a larger secret, as Yellow is repeatedly attacked by members of the [[Elite Four]], who are the ones responsible for Red's disappearance and plan to rid the world of most of humanity in order to create a utopia for Pokémon. The final confrontation against the Elite Four takes place at their base on [[Cerise Island]], with Yellow, finally revealed to be the girl that Red saved in the forest, taking on their leader, the {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon user [[Lance]].

== Spin-off story ==
Pokémon Adventures has a special spin-off story that featured Red and Gold's training on Mt. Silver. So, far only only [[PSs1|two]] [[PSs2|chapters]] have released.

=== Pokémon the Comic ===
''Main article: [[Pokémon the Comic]]''

They end up staying at Red's home in [[Pallet Town]], where Gold learns a few things about the [[Pokémon world]].

== Side stories ==
Pokémon Adventures also has spin-off side stories that are connected to the main manga. So far, two of these side stories have been released, both of them being based on [[Pokémon Ranger series]] games.

===Pokémon Ranger the Comic: Double Mission===
{{main|Pokémon Ranger the Comic: Double Mission}}
[[Lunick]] and [[Solana]], both {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s in the [[Fiore]] region are tasked with retrieving a {{p|Manaphy}} [[Pokémon Egg|egg]] stolen by the [[Go-Rock Squad]] and capturing {{p|Deoxys}}.

He shows her an Almia Times article on strange incidents at Altru Tower, to which later reveals to be caused by a {{p|Darkrai}}, helps Kellyn conclude that [[Team Dim Sun]] has returned to using Pokémon as energy. This leads Chairperson [[Erma]] to send Kellyn, Kate, and two [[Barlow|other]] [[Crawford|rangers]] to investigate, where they are attacked by the [[Sinis Trio]] and President [[Kincaid]]. The former professor takes control of Darkrai using the [[Shadow Crystal]], but is taken down once Kellyn uses the Vatonage Styler to free Darkrai. The mission is completed and Darkrai leaves for Sinnoh.

==English translations==
Pokémon Adventures has been licensed for English translation by three different companies: [[VIZ Media]], located in {{pmin|the United States}}, [[Chuang Yi]], located in {{pmin|Singapore}}, and [[Shogakukan Asia]], also located in Singapore.

===VIZ Media===
Beginning in September 1999, Pokémon Adventures was translated into English and published in the United States by [[VIZ Media]]. Originally, the series was available as a series of [[List of Pokémon Adventures monthly issues|monthly single issues]], a popular format at the time, and the chapters were later released in the more traditional graphic novel format, beginning from {{PAV|1}} in April 2000. Publication ceased in 2003 after the {{MangaArc|Yellow}} concluded with {{PAV|7}}. These translations read from left-to-right with the artwork in reverse from the original version, to conform with the style of North American comics and other Japanese manga published at the time. Other content, such as the route maps at the end of every volume, was omitted as well. Samples from this translation of Pokémon Adventures can be found in the [[The Best of Pokémon Adventures]] volumes, which were both published in 2006.

In June 2009, VIZ Media began re-releasing the series beginning from {{PAV|1}}. Rather than just reissue the previous translations, VIZ Media opted for a "second edition" - these volumes feature a new translation, with the right-to-left artwork and all of the content omitted from the previous translation restored. However, the new translation still follows closely to the original translation, containing some of the same dialogue and all the same titles for the chapters, as well as a lack of nicknames for {{Adv|Red}}'s or {{Adv|Green}}'s Pokémon (although Red's Pokémon receive nicknames in later volumes). In addition, these second editions contain edits not found in the first edition, such as the editing of {{adv|Green}}'s battle with [[Sabrina]] in ''[[PS032|A Little Kadabra'll Do It]]'' to remove the scene of Green hiding {{i|Poké Ball}}s in her top and the [[Pokémon controversies#Racism|recoloring of Jynx]] to match its current color of purple.

Following the second edition of {{PAV|7}}, VIZ Media has begun to release volumes which are new to North America, beginning with {{PAV|8}} in August 2010. While continuing the format of the second editions, there are some edits in the new-to-American audience volumes, like editing a scene of {{Adv|Crystal}}'s mother slapping her in {{PAV|11}} into a glare and editing the scene of [[Norman]] punching {{Adv|Ruby}} into him dropping Ruby due to lightning in {{PAV|17}}. VIZ Media took a break in publication following the release of {{PAV|14}} in August 2011, which concluded the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} (''[[PS180|The Last Battle XIV]]'' was moved to the end of Volume 14). They resumed production of the series with {{PAV|15}} in March 2013.

In July 2010, it was announced that the {{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}} would be published concurrently with the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} as a "second series" called '''Pokémon Adventures: Diamond and Pearl/Platinum''', with {{PAV|30}} published as the first volume of the second series. This second series releases one new volume triannually and began publication in February 2011. Continuing this trend, in August 2013 VIZ Media began to release the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} as a separately numbered series, '''Pokémon Adventures: HeartGold & SoulSilver''', consisting of {{PAV|41}} and {{PAV|42}} as volumes one and two. Since the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} is numbered separately from the {{MangaArc|Black & White}}, the first four chapters of {{PAV|43}} ([[PS457]]-[[PS460]]) were moved to the end of {{PAV|42}} to keep the chapters organised by arc.

Beginning in July 2011, VIZ Media began publishing the magazine version of the {{MangaArc|Black & White}}. Since the chapters were not collected in volume format in Japan at the time of publication, they were released as [[List of Pokémon Black and White volumes|a series of mini-volumes]], titled '''Pokémon Black and White''' and billed as a "Pokémon Adventures special edition". Starting from July 2013, VIZ Media started releasing the regular volume versions as a series called '''Pokémon Adventures: Black & White''', allowing readers the choice between the magazine version and the volume version.

In March 2013, VIZ launched the {{tt|Perfect Square|Sticky Dot until July 2013}} app for the iPad. It allowed users to buy digital copies of children's manga and American comics. Pokémon Adventures is among those included on the app. So far, only Volumes 1-14 and Diamond and Pearl/Platinum Volumes 1-4 have been made available. These same volumes have also been released on the Kindle and Nook eBook stores as well.

Due to the ''Black 2 & White 2'' arc being put on hiatus to begin the work on the ''X & Y'' arc, the mini-volume format continued for the ''X & Y'' arc as well as future arcs, with the publication of regular volumes being paused. The final volume of the ''Black 2 & White 2'' arc, [[Pokémon Adventures volume 55|Volume 55]], was released in 2020 in Japan and 2021 in North America, with regular volumes of the ''X & Y'' arc beginning publication in 2022 in America.

In July 2018, Viz announced their plans to release the regular volumes for the entire series digitally on both their website's regular digital platform and app as well as Kindle, iBooks, Nook and GooglePlay with volumes 1-7 initially available, while the rest of the current released volumes were released between August to December 2018 with both October and December having multiple saga releases<ref>[https://www.viz.com/blog/posts/pokemon-digital-manga-release-guide Pokémon Digital Manga Release Guide!]</ref> which was completed on December 25, 2018. Releases for the later regular volumes were done in both physical and digital format.

VIZ Media's translations of Pokémon Adventures are available in {{pmin|the United States}}, {{pmin|Canada}}, {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Ireland}}, {{pmin|Australia}}, and {{pmin|South Africa}}. They are also imported into other countries.

===Chuang Yi===
[[Chuang Yi]], a manga company based in {{pmin|Singapore}}, translated Pokémon Adventures into English since {{PAV|1}} in May 2000. The first seven volumes used [[VIZ Media]]'s translation, though after VIZ Media stopped their first edition in 2003 at {{PAV|7}}, Chuang Yi continued to translate the series on their own. As the first seven volumes were based on the flipped edition by VIZ Media, Chuang Yi continued to publish the series in a flipped format, lasting from {{PAV|8}} to {{PAV|40}}. Their final volume, {{PAV|41}}, was published in the original right-to-left reading format. Their translation of the manga stopped when Chuang Yi went under {{wp|Liquidation#Voluntary liquidation|voluntary liquidation}}.

Chuang Yi's translations of Pokémon Adventures were available in {{pmin|Singapore}}, {{pmin|Malaysia}}, {{pmin|South Asia|India}}, {{pmin|the Philippines}}, {{pmin|Indonesia}} and {{pmin|Thailand}}. They were also available in {{pmin|Australia}} and {{pmin|New Zealand}} through {{wp|Madman Entertainment}}.

===Shogakukan Asia===
Beginning in July 2014, a new publisher, [[Shogakukan Asia]], has picked up the license for Pokémon manga, including Pokémon Adventures, in Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries. They first published [[Pokémon Adventures volume 42]] in August 2014. The volumes were published in the original right-to-left reading format.

Their publications of Volumes 42-45 utilize their own translations, whereas beginning in [[Pokémon Adventures volume 46|Volume 46]], they use [[VIZ Media|Viz Media]]'s translation.

==International translations==

Pokémon Adventures has been translated into many languages for publication around the world.

<div style="overflow: auto">
<div style="width: 49%; float: left">
===Chinese===
[[File:Pokémon Adventures TW volume 3.png|thumb|100px|left|{{tt|神奇寶貝特別篇|Pokémon Special}} volume 3 in traditional Mandarin (Taiwan)]]

Pokémon Adventures has been translated into various versions in Chinese. The Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) version is translated by Ching Win Publishing Co., Ltd.

(香港青文出版社有限公司) under the title {{tt|寵物小精靈特別篇|Pokémon Special}}.

The Simplified Chinese (Mainland China) version is translated by Jilin Publishing Group (吉林出版集团) under the title {{tt|精灵宝可梦特别篇|Pokémon Special}}. The series was formerly named {{tt|神奇宝贝特别篇|Pokémon Special}} prior to Volume 29, but was renamed due to trademark issues. Volume 1 - 29 was then republished under the new name afterwards. Initially, the series was translated by China Light Industry Press (轻工业出版社) and known as {{tt|宠物小精灵特别篇|Pokémon Special}} for seven volumes, before Jilin Publishing took over in 2005.

===Czech===
[[File:Pokémon Adventures CZ volume 15.png|thumb|100px|left|''Pokémon 15 (Gold a Silver / Ruby a Sapphire)'' in Czech]]
In {{pmin|the Czech Republic}}, Pokémon Adventures is translated and published by '''Nakladatelství Crew'''. The {{PAV|1|first volume}} was released on September 15, 2020 under the title ''Pokémon 1 (Red a Blue)'', with the subsequent ones following mostly quarterly schedule. The volumes use continuous numbering, with only the subtitle changing to match the arc they cover. As of 2024, the publisher is in process of releasing the {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}.

The translation and contents of the Czech release are based directly on the Japanese version while adhering to the official English names of Pokémon, characters and cities. The names of [[move]]s, [[abilities]], [[item]]s and some locations are translated into Czech, mostly matching the translations used in the [[dub]] of the contemporary seasons of the {{pkmn|animated series}}.

===Dutch===
Pokémon Adventures' Dutch language translation rights were acquired by [[Panini Comics]] in 2022 with publication starting from volume 1 in May 2023 under the the title ''<u>'''Pokémon: Het Grote Avontuur'''</u>''. With Panini expressing the desire of releasing a new volume of the manga every 2 to 3 months the Red and Blue arc was concluded in June 2023 with the Yellow arc starting in August of the same year and finishing in April of 2024. Serialization of the Gold and Silver arc is currently on-going with volume 11 being the latest release as of October 2024.

[[File:Pokémon Adventures FI volume 2.png|thumb|100px|left|''Pokémon Adventures: Red, Blue & Green'' volume 2]]

===Finnish===
On July 25, 2014, {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} publisher Pauna Media started publishing the {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}} and the {{MangaArc|Yellow}} under the combined title ''Pokémon Adventures: Red, Blue & Green''. The seven volumes of these story arcs were initially scheduled to be released monthly. The Finnish version is based on and translated from the Japanese version. The names of moves, most characters, and Pokémon, however, will be in English by request of English licensors.

This means that {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}} follow the English naming as well instead of the original Japanese. Even though the translation is based on the Japanese version, the graphics are based on VIZ Media's second English version, with certain Finnish sound effects added. The edits made to the graphics remain in this version, despite the company's earlier statement on not censoring the series. Pauna Media has plans to release the entire series, although no new volumes have been released in years as of now.

===European French===
[[File:Pokémon Adventures BW FR volume 1.png|thumb|100px|left|''Pokémon Noir et Blanc'' volume 1]]
Pokémon Adventures was translated into {{pmin|France|European French}} by {{wp|Glénat (publisher)|Glénat}} under the title '''{{tt|Pokémon: La Grande Aventure!|Pokémon: The Great Adventure!}}'''. This translated version was based on the original Japanese, however, the artwork was printed in reverse order in a left-to-right reading format for purposes of publication in France. Each volume was initially split into two monthly issues by Glénat, and were later republished in their original volume presentation. Glénat suddenly had to interrupt this edition due to copyright issues, before the release of {{PAV|7}}, the closing volume of the {{MangaArc|Yellow}}.

[[Pokémon Black and White volume 1 (France)|Since 2011]], the {{MangaArc|Black & White}} has been translated for France by [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurokawa Kurokawa]. This translation respects the original reading format (right-to-left) and is based directly on the magazine version of Pokémon Adventures. As the title ''Pokémon: La Grande Adventure!'' was still trademarked by Glénat, the {{MangaArc|Black & White}} is published with the title '''{{tt|Pokémon Noir et Blanc|Pokémon Black and White}}'''.

[[File:Pokémon Adventures FR omnibus 3.png|thumb|100px|left|''Pokémon: La Grande Aventure!'' omnibus 3]]
In April 2014, it was announced by Kurokawa that they would be rereleasing the {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}} and the {{MangaArc|Yellow}} in a set of three [[List of Pokémon Adventures omnibus volumes#France|omnibus volumes]], beginning on June 12, 2014 with [[Pokémon Adventures omnibus 1|volume one]]. This release, while continuing to use the "Pokémon: La Grande Aventure!" name, features an entirely new translation more faithful to the original Japanese version and consistent with Kurokawa's release of the {{MangaArc|Black & White}}. In this edition, Red, Blue and Green are named Rouge, Bleu and Verte, which translate to the same colours in French. Blue and Green's names are switched, as in the English version (Bleu is the male character and Verte is the female character), likely due to the fact that there was no Green version released in France.

In 2015, upon completion of the {{MangaArc|Black & White}}, Kurokawa has begun a French translation of the {{MangaArc|X & Y}} in the same format. Similarly, in commemoration of the release of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Kurokawa has begun an omnibus release of the original {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}, previously unissued in France. After that, it continues with the launch of {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} in 2016.

===German===

In the German version, the names of characters such as {{adv|Professor Oak}} and [[Lt. Surge]] were renamed to their German names from the games and {{pkmn|animated series}}. Additionally, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} were renamed to "{{Ash}}" and "{{Gary}}" to match {{aniseries|PTS}}.

[[File:Pokémon Adventures DE volume 1 Ed 2.png|thumb|100px|left|Pokémon Adventures volume 1 in German (second edition)]]
The publication rights to Pokémon Adventures were picked up in 2013 by [[Panini Comics]]. Publication began with the first eight volumes of the {{MangaArc|Black & White}}, released under the title '''{{tt|Pokémon: Schwarz und Weiss|Pokémon: Black and White}}'''. At first the release schedule was one every two or three months. In May 2015 Panini Comics started releasing {{MangaArc|X & Y}} in [[List of Pocket Monsters Special XY volumes|Shogakukan’s mini-volume format]] and under the title '''{{tt|Pokémon X und Y|Pokémon X and Y}}''', followed by {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}} under the title '''{{tt|Pokémon: Die ersten Abenteuer|Pokémon: The first Adventures}}''' in January 2016. In 2017 the release-cycle of new volumes changed to once a month.

As of June 2021, Panini Comics have released 67 volumes in total. The first volume of the latest arc of the manga – {{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}} – went on sale in April 2021.

This release is based on VIZ Media's mini volumes of the magazine version. The first Italian volume was released on August 27, 2014.

J-Pop then started to publish the Pokémon Adventures saga from the very beginning with the title '''{{tt|Pokémon: La Grande Avventura|Pokémon: The Great Adventure}}''', releasing the {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}} together with the {{MangaArc|Yellow}} in three volumes in November 2016, the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} in November 2017, the {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}} in October 2018 and the {{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}} together with the {{MangaArc|Emerald}} in four volumes in June 2019.

===Korean===
[[File:Pokémon Adventures KO volume 19.png|thumb|100px|left|{{tt|포켓몬스터 스페셜|Pokémon Special}} volume 19]]
Pokémon Adventures ('''{{tt|포켓몬스터 스페셜|Pokémon Special}}''') is translated into {{pmin|South Korea|Korean}} by 대원씨아이 ''{{wp|Daewon C.I.}}'', which has released up to {{PAV|54}} to date.

The Korean version had been published in a flipped format from {{PAV|1}} through {{PAV|25}}, but since {{PAV|26}}, it keeps the original right-to-left orientation after the series' dedicated translator had been changed. However, the volumes that had already been published prior to {{PAV|26}} are still being published in a flipped format. It is also notable that the cover arts were also flipped in the first 6 volumes and {{PAV|8}}, which is a feature that has never been implemented to other flipped versions of Pokémon Adventures.

===Malaysian===
In {{pmin|Malaysia}}, Pokémon Adventures was translated as '''{{tt|Pengembaraan Pokémon|Pokémon Adventures}}''' under Chuang Yi's license.

===Norway===
[[File:Pokémon Adventures NO volume 1.png|thumb|100px|left|''Pokémon Adventures: Red, Blue & Green'' volume 1]]
In {{pmin|Norway}}, Pokémon Adventures is translated in Norwegian by Outland, titled ''Pokémon-eventyrene'', and has been published since September 21, 2021.

Names are treated similarly to how the animated series treats them, using the English names except for types. However, item names are translated, and place names have the descriptor translated (eg. Viridian-skogen) and town names are often called just by the names, without the "city" or "town" parts.

===Polish===
[[File:Pokémon Adventures PL volume 1.png|thumb|100px|left|[[Mysterious Mew|Issue #1: ''Tajemniczy Mew'']]]]
In {{pmin|Poland}}, the {{PAV|1|first volume}}'s worth of chapters was translated into Polish by {{wp|Japonica Polonica Fantastica}} and published in [[List of Pokémon Adventures monthly issues|four monthly issues]]. The Polish version uses the English "Pokémon Adventures" name. Due to the low popularity of the series in Poland, the series was quickly discontinued and the monthly issues were never collected in a bound volume.

===Brazilian Portuguese===
[[File:Pokémon Adventures BR volume 43.png|thumb|100px|left|Volume one of ''Pokémon Black & White'' in Brazilian Portuguese]]
In August 2014, [[Panini Comics]] began releasing the {{MangaArc|Black & White}} of the Pokémon Adventures manga in {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}}, beginning with {{PAV|43}}. Panini has stated that if the series is successful, they will continue into other story arcs of the manga. The {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}} was released in November 2016, the {{MangaArc|Yellow}} was released in April 2017 and the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal|Gold & Silver arc}} was released in January 2018

===European Spanish===
[[File:Pokémon Adventures ES omnibus 1.png|thumb|100px|left|Volume one of {{tt|''Pokémon Rojo, Verde y Azul''|Pokémon Red, Green & Blue}} in Spanish]]
In {{pmin|Spain}}, Norma Editorial has acquired the complete license of the manga. Due to the length of the series (52 volumes at the time of announcing the license) and due to different story arcs often starting and ending partway through volumes, Norma Editorial has opted for an omnibus format which groups chapters by arc, including two simultaneous numbering systems (each volume is numbered based on its position in the entire series as well as numbered based on which arc the book collects).

Norma Editorial's translation of Pokémon Adventures retains the original right-to-left reading format. New volumes are expected to be released monthly, beginning with Volume 1 on October 29, 2015. For their first releases, Norma Editorial will be alternating between the {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}} and the {{MangaArc|Black & White}}.

===Latin American Spanish===
[[File:Mangastoukan.png|thumb|100px|left|Issues in Latin American Spanish]]
Pokémon Adventures was translated into {{pmin|Latin America|Latin American Spanish}} by Toukan Manga. The Latin American translation was based on VIZ Media's English translation.

In 2015, [[Panini Comics]] Mexico announced that they would be publishing Pokémon Adventures in Latin America. They began publishing the {{MangaArc|Black & White}} in 2016.

===Thai===
In {{pmin|Thailand}}, Pokémon Adventures ('''{{tt|โปเกมอนสเปเชียล|Pokémon Special}}''') is translated and published by Nation Edutainment ([http://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/เนชั่น_เอ็ดดูเทนเมนท์ เนชั่น เอ็ดดูเทนเมนท์]).

===Vietnamese===
[[File:Pokémon Adventures VI volume 10 Ed 2.png|thumb|100px|left|{{tt|Pokémon Đặc Biệt|Pokémon Special}} volume 10]]
In {{pmin|Vietnam}}, Pokémon Adventures ({{tt|Pokémon Đặc Biệt|Pokémon Special}}) is published by Kim Đồng Publishing House, one of the largest manga publishers in Vietnam. The Vietnamese translation is based directly on the Japanese version — the trademarked romanizations of Japanese names are used for Pokémon, character and location names, although move names are translated into Vietnamese language.

Kim Đồng Publishing House's first edition of Pokémon Adventures began in 2003 and ran from {{PAV|1}} through {{PAV|12}}, after which the series was discontinued due to Kim Đồng's Japanese partner cancelling their contract. This edition was published in a left-to-right format with reversed artwork.

In late 2014, Kim Đồng renegotiated the rights to the Pokémon Adventures series; however, a series of delays resulted in the release of the first volume to be pushed back from a projected January 2015 release date until April 6, 2015. Volume 2 was planned to be released on April 20 but has been delayed since then, after receiving complaints about some translated terms from readers. This volume was finally released on August 24, and subsequent volumes are scheduled to follow every two weeks on Mondays. Kim Đồng's second edition of

Pokémon Adventures are published in the original right-to-left reading format.

==Trivia==
* The series went through several names, including '''Pokémon Z''' and '''Pokémon G'''. The name Pokémon Z was even used in early versions of the first volume.<ref>https://twitter.com/k_hidenori_/status/1630888928477187</ref>
* A large amount of the art in Pokémon Adventures is based on the original concept works from the games. For example:
**In the {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}, Charmander is drawn with spikes on its back.
** Hitmonlee has legs that can stretch like springs in the ''Red, Green & Blue'' arc.
** Green's character design is based on a [[Ken Sugimori]] illustration of {{ga|Red}}, {{ga|Blue}}, and an [[Green (game)#Trivia|unnamed female Trainer]].
** Brock's Graveler is seen floating like Geodude instead of having feet.
* Throughout the series, almost every protagonist starts out with a Pokémon other than the traditional first partner Pokémon that are chosen in the games, except {{adv|Emerald}}, {{adv|White}}, and {{adv|Blake}}. However, each protagonist eventually gets one, usually near the start of the arc.
* In some instances in the translated version, the Fire type is referred to as Flame and the Ground type is referred to as Earth.
* The first partner Pokémon of each region that are given to characters based on the male protagonists in the games cycle through {{t|Grass}} ({{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Diamond}}, and {{adv|X}}), {{t|Fire}} ({{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Black}}, and {{adv|Sun}}), and {{t|Water}} ({{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Blake}}). The pattern was broken with {{Henry}}, who has a Grass-type first partner Pokémon instead of the expected Water-type first partner Pokémon, however it has continued with {{adv|Violet}}, who has a Fire-type first partner Pokémon.
** This also applies to characters based on the female protagonists in the games, which cycle through Water ({{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Platinum}}, and {{adv|Y}}), Grass ({{adv|Crystal}}, {{adv|White}}, and {{adv|Moon}}), and Fire ({{adv|Sapphire}}, {{adv|Whitley}}, and {{Casey}}). The pattern was broken with {{adv|Scarlet}}, who has a Grass-type first partner Pokémon instead of the expected Water-type first partner Pokémon.
* The first partner Pokémon of the characters based on the male protagonists usually have the type advantage over the characters based on the female protagonists, with the only exception of the main characters of the ''{{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}'' where {{Casey}} has the type advantage over {{Henry}}.
* In [[PSs2]], it is mentioned by Red that in the Adventures manga Pokémon have different names in different locations. This is a reference to the names Pokémon are given in different languages, like {{p|Charizard}} being called Lizardon in Japanese.
* According to Hidenori Kusaka, arcs based on [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] were considered, but were ultimately scrapped.<ref>http://corocoro.tv/pokesp/qa/qa_a_151_160.html</ref><ref>http://corocoro.tv/pokesp/qa/qa_a_251_260.html</ref>

====Translation changes====
* The messages from the creators are sometimes completely different between the Japanese and English versions. The references to Japanese culture and Japanese Pokémon media, including newly-released games, are usually not found in the English version. When the Japanese and English versions are different, the English version is often a short summary about the current manga events. Some examples of removed content:
** In volume 12, the newly-released {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} are only mentioned in the Japanese version of Hidenori Kusaka's message.
** In volume 13, [[Pokémon Tetris]] is only mentioned in the Japanese version of Hidenori Kusaka's message.
** In volume 21, the newly-released {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} as well as {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}} are only mentioned in the Japanese version of Hidenori Kusaka's message.

{{cleanup}}
Boss Rush is one of the events in [[Pokémon UNITE]]. It is divided into three levels, each with a unique boss. Five players team up to battle strong Boss Pokémon including Regigigas, Regeice, Regesteel, Regerock, Avalug, Zapatos, Ardicuno and Zacin and attempt to eliminate them all within five minutes. In this new game mode, players may get points by taking out strong bosses. Earned points will be added to their current Unite Squad's point total. Friendship-based gaming maximizes benefits. Based on their position on the Boss Rush scoreboard when the event is over, Unite Squads will get special rewards.

'''Body Press''' (Japanese: '''ボディプレス''' ''Body Press'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fighting}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It was [[TR99]] in Generation VIII, and is [[TM089]] in [[Generation IX]].

==Effect==
Body Press inflicts damage, but it uses the user's {{stat|Defense}} stat instead of its {{stat|Attack}} stat to calculate damage.

The user's Defense stat stage-modifiers are applied (rather than Attack stage-modifiers), but otherwise its Attack modifiers are used (including [[held item]], [[Ability]], and {{status|burn}}). For example, the user's {{a|Huge Power}} or a held [[Choice Band]] will increase the stat used in calculation, whereas {{a|Fur Coat}} or a held [[Eviolite]] will not. In contrast, the user's {{a|Slow Start}} will ''decrease'' the stat used in calculation.

==Description==
{{movedesc|Fighting}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev8|SwShBDSPLA}}|The user attacks by slamming its body into the target. The higher the user's Defense, the more damage it can inflict on the target.}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev9|SV}}|The user attacks by slamming its body into the target. The higher the user's Defense stat, the greater the damage this move deals.}}

== Defense stat column ==

Can we add a defense stat (and possibly attack stat) column to the chart, for quick reference here? I'd do it myself, but I don't know how to automate such things. If it's a matter of manually looking up all the stats and inserting them into the chart text by hand I can do that too, but I'd want a go-ahead first. --[[User:MASLEGOMAN|MASLEGOMAN]] ([[User talk:MASLEGOMAN|talk]]) 19:22, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
:Why not go to serebii or smogon for such a list? [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 20:10, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

== Low-Quality Image ==

The alert for a low-quality image is on this page, but Body Press just looks like that and adds a blur during the attack animation, so does it actually need to be updated or is there another reason the image is "low quality"? If the blur added by the game during the attack animation isn't considered a good image of the attack animation, I do have an image of right after when the blur ends and can replace it, but I wanted to see what the issue is first. --[[User:Xigzagoon|Xigzagoon]] ([[User talk:Xigzagoon|talk]]) 15:58, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
*That was me. It's my bad that I thought the image was blurry from a bad screenshot and not from the actual move. I think the weird angle plus lack of a hp bar also contributed to my thought. If you have an image of after the blur ends, I think that would be helpfull. [[User:CoolMan6001|CoolMan6001]] ([[User talk:CoolMan6001|talk]]) 18:42, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
**Good to know, I'll remove the warning for now and discuss changing the image on the archives later! --[[User:Xigzagoon|Xigzagoon]] ([[User talk:Xigzagoon|talk]]) 20:58, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

== Defeatist ==

Defeatist only lowers Attack and Sp. Attack so it would not affect this move. [[User:Nino938|Nino938]] ([[User talk:Nino938|talk]]) 21:59, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

:Protosynthisis and Quark Drive would only work ''IF'' Defense was the highest stat.
:If Defense is the highest stat then it would be affected. [[User:Nino938|Nino938]] ([[User talk:Nino938|talk]]) 19:41, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

==Abilities==
===Passive Ability===
{{UnitePassiveAbility
|image=UNITE Goodra Gooey.png
|ability=Gooey
|jname=ぬめぬめ
|jtrans=Gooey
|desc=When the Pokémon is hit by an attack, there is a set chance it will spread slime around itself. The slime deals damage to opposing Pokémon and applies a Gooey slowing effect for them for a short time. The Gooey slowing effect decreases movement speed and basic attack speed and can stack up to four times per opposing Pokémon. When the Pokémon with this Ability enters tall grass, it continually recovers a set amount of HP until it either attacks or leaves the tall grass. This HP recovery effect goes on a 12s cooldown after it's triggered.
}}
===Basic Attack===
{{UniteBasicAttack
|boostdmg=SpA
|desc=Becomes a boosted attack with every third attack, applying a Gooey slowing effect to opposing Pokémon it hits. Boosted attacks launch slime at opposing Pokémon and deal increased damage to nearby opposing Pokémon. If this Pokémon applies a Gooey slowing effect to an opposing Pokémon and then hits that Pokémon with a basic attack while the effect is active, all of this Pokémon's move cooldowns are reduced.

|image=UNITE Goodra Gooey.png
|ability=Gooey
|jname=ぬめぬめ
|jtrans=Gooey
|desc=When the Pokémon is hit by an attack, there is a set chance it will spread slime around itself. The slime deals damage to opposing Pokémon and applies a Gooey slowing effect for them for a short time. The Gooey slowing effect decreases movement speed and basic attack speed and can stack up to four times per opposing Pokémon. When the Pokémon with this Ability enters tall grass, it continually recovers a set amount of HP until it either attacks or leaves the tall grass. This HP recovery effect goes on a 12s cooldown after it's triggered.

===Basic Attack===
{{UniteBasicAttack

|desc=Becomes a boosted attack with every third attack, applying a Gooey slowing effect to opposing Pokémon it hits. Boosted attacks launch slime at opposing Pokémon and deal increased damage to nearby opposing Pokémon. If this Pokémon applies a Gooey slowing effect to an opposing Pokémon and then hits that Pokémon with a basic attack while the effect is active, all of this Pokémon's move cooldowns are reduced.

'''Mewtwo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Mewtwo can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into two different forms:

* '''Mega Mewtwo X''' using [[Mewtwonite X]].
* '''Mega Mewtwo Y''' using [[Mewtwonite Y]].

It is associated with {{p|Mew}}, and thus they are collectively referred to as the [[Mew duo]] by fans.

==Biology==
Mewtwo is an [[artificial Pokémon]]. It is a bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some feline features. Its body is primarily gray with a long, purple tail and a large purple underbelly. On top of its head are two short, blunt horns, and it has purple eyes. A tube extends from the back of its skull to the top of its spine, bypassing its neck. It has a defined chest and shoulders, which resemble a breastplate. The three digits on each hand and foot have spherical tips. Its tail is thick at the base but thins before ending in a small bulb.

According to [[Pokémon Mansion journals|journals]] found in [[Kanto]]'s {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, after discovering the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}} and gathering some of its DNA, [[Mr. Fuji]] used it in his mansion to create Mewtwo, a modified clone of Mew with the goal to making it the most powerful Pokémon of all. It was held and studied in the mansion, where it acquired extreme power and a vicious disposition after enduring horrific gene-splicing experiments. It eventually broke free and fled the Mansion, destroying it in the process. It is widely known as one of the most powerful Pokémon in existence and is said to have the most savage heart among all Pokémon, lacking compassion and {{a|Pressure|striking fear into its enemy with cold, glowing eyes}}. Mewtwo conserves energy by remaining motionless in order to unleash its full power in battle. Because it was engineered to be the ultimate opponent in battle, it can only think of defeating its foes. Though rarely seen in the wild, it is said to be resting in [[Cerulean Cave|dark]] {{kal|Unknown Dungeon|caves}} somewhere.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} was shown to be capable of levitation, mind control, memory erasure, telepathy, teleporting others to another location, and the creation of powerful storms. However, it was [[Mewtwo Returns|later shown]] to be caring, protective, and even altruistic. As shown in [[POKÉMON Detective Pikachu]], Mewtwo can also transfer a [[human]]'s soul into a Pokémon's body provided that said Pokémon is in a crazed state, causing this person to gain control of the Pokémon's body and abilities. {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01|It}} possesses a rivalry with {{OBP|Mew|M01}}. As seen in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} can breathe in outer space.

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s creation wasn't possible with the amount of {{adv|Mew}}'s cells gathered, so to complete it, [[human]] cells were used instead, specifically from the [[Team Rocket]] [[Team Rocket scientist|scientist]] [[Blaine]]. Due to Blaine possessing some of Mewtwo's cells as well, the two became linked, which granted Blaine to ability to track its whereabouts at the cost of slowly taking his life.

Mewtwo is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Psystrike}}.

;Shadow Mewtwo
A unique {{pkmn2|variant}} of Mewtwo, called [[Shadow Mewtwo]], is very similar to standard Mewtwo, but with dark gray skin, a dark gray tail with a yellowish orange tip, and a shard of [[Ferrum#Shadow Synergy Stone|Shadow Synergy Stone]] coming out of its shoulder. In the past, Anne was almost possessed by a Shadow Synergy Stone but was saved by Mewtwo, whom the Shadow Synergy Stone took control of and merged with instead. Under the stone's influence, Shadow Mewtwo travelled around [[Ferrum]], draining Gaia Power from other normal [[Ferrum#Synergy Stones|Synergy Stones]], which continuously increases its power.

===Forms===
Mewtwo has two forms. Mewtwo can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into either Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y. Additionally, Shadow Mewtwo can Mega Evolve into Mega Shadow Mewtwo X by using [[Ferrum#Synergy Burst|Synergy Burst]].

;Mega Mewtwo X
[[File:Mega Mewtwo X arm.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Mewtwo X stretching its arm.]]
[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Mewtwo X is larger and bulkier than its normal state. The horns on its head are longer and extend from V-shaped ridges on its forehead. Additionally, the horns are now pointed and curve upward. It now has two tubes behind its neck, its eyes are light blue, and it has large, purple growths over its shoulders. Its torso is smooth and small compared to its long, bulky limbs, and a Y-shaped line connects the collar and underbelly. Its forearms and thighs each have two raised ridges and its digits are now longer and thinner. Its tail is slightly shorter and stiffer than before and has a curled tip.

Due to the Mega Evolution, Mega Mewtwo X's physical power received a formidable growth. Its muscles are augmented with psychic power, giving it a grip strength of one ton and the ability to sprint 100 meters in two seconds. When using moves in battle, it is shown to be able to stretch its arms and legs.

;Mega Shadow Mewtwo X
Mega Shadow Mewtwo X greatly resembles its normal counterpart, though it maintains its dark gray coloring due to the influence of the Shadow Synergy Stone. The glowing yellow-orange of the stone's infection is no longer confined to its tail, spreading to both of its shoulder growths, its arm ridges, and the tips of its ears. Additionally, the Y-shaped line running across its body (now including its legs) glows the same yellowish-orange color.

Like its counterpart, Mega Shadow Mewtwo X can stretch its arms and legs. This unique form is achieved when Shadow Mewtwo uses both [[Ferrum#Synergy Burst|Shadow Synergy Burst]] and collected Gaia Power build up. The transformation can be undone if Shadow Synergy Stone is separated from Mewtwo.

;Mega Mewtwo Y
Mega Mewtwo Y is smaller and lighter, losing its long tail, underbelly, and the tube behind its neck. However, it grows a long, purple appendage with a curled tip from the back of its head that is similar to its previous form's tail and also slightly resembles [[Jessie|Jessie's]] hairstyle. On its head, it has two pointed, backward-curving spikes and a half-ring structure connecting to the base of each and crossing over the top of its head. Its eyes are now red and slightly larger. The digits on its hands and feet are now purple and more bulbous and the middle toe is longer than the others. A bumpy ridge similar to a {{wp|sternum}} replaces the breastplate structure on its chest, but this form is still largely smoother than the other two.

Despite its decreased size, it has phenomenal mental power and is capable of smashing buildings with a mere thought. Mega Mewtwo Y stays constantly in the air due to its smaller size and increased power.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Mewtwo%20X Mega Mewtwo Y</ref>

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Stadium]]: [[Pokémon Stadium#Vs. Mewtwo|Mewtwo]] is the player's final opponent.
* {{g|Pinball}}: Mewtwo appears in its own bonus stage, where the player must attempt to hit it 25 times within the two-minute time limit to win. Playing this stage repeatedly is the fastest way to build a high score, due to the extremely high point output of 50,000,000 points per hit earned by hitting Mewtwo.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]: Mewtwo is the final boss of the game, battled once under the control of the evil [[Edward]] "The Thinker", and again under [[Purple Eyes]]. Before this, it is seen charging up in [[Kasa]]'s laboratory in the [[Sky Fortress]].
* {{g|Puzzle League}}: {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} reveals that it organized the Puzzle League to find a worthy foe and clones {{Ash}}'s Pokémon. In the Very Hard and Super Hard modes, Mewtwo is the final opponent.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Mewtwo sleeps in the depths of the [[Western Cave]]. His slumber is interrupted by the arrival of Blastoise and [[Team A.C.T.|Charizard]], whom he defeats without an issue. Once the player confronts him at the deepest parts of the cave, it is possible to recruit Mewtwo.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Mewtwo appears, having [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] into Mega Mewtwo Y in order to telepathically link up the Pokémon of the world together to try and stop the [[Tree of Life]]'s ascent into space. Like all the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] gathered for this effort, Mewtwo is turned into stone when [[Dark Matter]] is able to regenerate itself. After Dark Matter's defeat, Mewtwo stays at the [[Island of Isolation]] as its lone inhabitant, and can be recruited if it is defeated.
* {{g|Quest}}: A telepathic Mewtwo appears as the final boss of Pokémon Quest. It is trapped (in a vague, undefined manner) in the [[Chamber of Legends]]. It discretely takes control of [[MoBee]] to talk to the [[player (Quest)|player]], in order to lure the player across [[Tumblecube Island]] and collect the {{OBP|statue|Quest}}s that open the Chamber. Once encountered it battles the player's Pokémon to test itself. It did not recover fully from the time it was sealed away, and the player defeats it in battle. After being defeated, Mewtwo departs from the island. After the credits, it telepathically informs the player about [[Happenstance Island]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Shadow Mewtwo.png|thumb|100px|Shadow Mewtwo's unique aura]]
* One of the [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] states Mewtwo's birthday is February 6.
** The same journal implies {{p|Mew}} was impregnated with the modified clone, just like with real-life cloning. All other depictions show Mewtwo being grown using laboratory equipment.
* Mewtwo comes before Mew in the [[Pokédex]] despite being created from its modified DNA.
* Even though Mewtwo is a clone of Mew, a Mythical Pokémon, Mewtwo is a Legendary Pokémon.
* Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English [[dub]], as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].
* Mewtwo has the most {{pkmn|animated series}} opening appearances of any [[Legendary Pokémon]], with seven in Japan.
* Mewtwo and {{p|Charizard}} share several [[Mega Evolution]] similarities. Both Pokémon are the only ones to have two Mega Evolutions instead of one. Both of their Y Mega Evolutions were revealed before their X ones. Both Pokémon change their typing in their X Mega Evolutions while they remain the same type in their Y Mega Evolutions. Both X Mega Evolutions are physically oriented while their Y Mega Evolutions are specially oriented.
* Mewtwo is depicted on the door of [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', despite having only been seen by [[Team Rocket scientist|its creators]] and [[Team Rocket]] at that point in the animated series. Similarly, Mewtwo's sprite was depicted as a portrait in [[Viridian Gym]], despite being a public area.
* The island country of {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Mewtwo as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Mewtwo on the reverse side and the nation's crest on the obverse.
* Mewtwo was originally depicted as the only member of its species, being a clone of Mew. In the {{pkmn|animated series}} and {{pkmn|manga}}, however, it is implied that multiple Mewtwo have been created.
* Mega Mewtwo Y was the first [[Mega Evolution]] revealed to the public.
** It was also the first to appear in the animated series, even before Mega Evolution was announced.
** Prior to the announcement of Mega Evolution, Mega Mewtwo Y was referred to as its 「覚醒した姿」 ''Awakened Form''.<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref> This term was also used in the {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation of the movie}}.
** Mega Mewtwo Y was designed by [[Tomohiro Kitakaze]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kitakazeee/status/1149513798115459073 Tweet by 北風友裕 (@kitakazeee).] Posted on July 12, 2019.</ref>
* Mewtwo's Mega Evolutions are tied with Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} for the highest base stat total of all Pokémon, with 780, excluding the unobtainable [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Eternatus|Eternamax]] {{p|Eternatus}}.
** Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} of all Pokémon, as well as the highest single base stat and base {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.
*** Mega Mewtwo X's Attack increase is the largest single stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, at 80 points.
** Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest base Special Attack of all Pokémon and the highest single base stat of all Psychic-type Pokémon.
*** With a Mild [[Nature]], perfect [[IV]]s, and optimized [[EV]]s, a [[Level]] 100 Mega Mewtwo Y's stats sum to 2038, the highest sum of any Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon GO]], Shadow Mewtwo is the only {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}} that has a different aura from the other Shadow Pokémon that isn't an Apex Shadow; instead of purple fire, it is surrounded by an aura resembling its Psychic power. It does not have a unique appearance when purified, however.
* Mewtwo is currently the only Legendary Pokémon in {{g|GO}} to have an [[Event Pokémon (GO)|event-exclusive form]].
* In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, {{pkmn2|wild}} Mewtwo are programmed to always be holding a [[Berserk Gene]], but Mewtwo can't be obtained in those games without trading. Even if Mewtwo could be found in the wild, the Berserk Gene would be consumed immediately, so the item wouldn't be obtainable.
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}'s base stats are based on Mewtwo's, with some values swapped.
* Mewtwo has the most alternate forms: Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y, [[Shadow Mewtwo]] and Shadow Mega Mewtwo X.

===Origin===
Like Mew, Mewtwo has some {{wp|embryo}} characteristics, but its body structure is much larger as a result of {{wp|Recombinant DNA|gene splicing}}. It also has some characteristics of a {{wp|grey alien}} and a {{wp|salamander}}.

Mega Mewtwo Y, much like Mew, has characteristics of a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}.

====Name origin====
Mewtwo may be a combination of ''{{p|Mew}}'' or ''mutant (ミュータント)'' and ''two''.

'''Wartortle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カメール''' ''Kameil'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Squirtle}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Blastoise}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
[[File:May Wartortle Rapid Spin.png|thumb|left|250px|Wartortle inside its shell while spinning]]
Wartortle is a bipedal, indigo {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar to a {{wp|turtle}}. It has brown eyes, a dark blue streak on each cheek, and two sharp teeth protruding from its upper jaw. It has three clawed fingers and pointed toes. On each side of its head are feather-like ears covered in pale blue fur. A brown shell with a pale yellow underside encases its body. A thick, white rim separates the upper and lower halves of the shell. An older Wartortle may have scars and algae growing on its shell. Poking out of the bottom of the shell is a thick, wavy tail that also has light blue fur and cannot be fully withdrawn into its shell. Its tail fur will darken with age. Its tail symbolizes longevity and good luck, making this Pokémon popular with the elderly.

Because it is larger than Squirtle and has a larger shell, Wartortle has a more difficult time walking on land and keeping its balance in the water. Wartortle moves its furry ears and tail as both rudders and balancing rods to maintain balance while swimming at high speeds. Air can be stored in its fur for extended underwater diving. It hides in water when hunting and emerges to surprise its prey. It's shown in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'' that Wartortle can be found living in colonies on islands. Still, its preferred habitat seems to be {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's Edge Pokémon|freshwater ponds and lakes}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], is known to sleep with its body tucked into its shell while remaining wary of threats.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> It leaves its long, furry tail poking out a bit to feel out its surroundings in case of danger. Wartortle has four different sleep styles it sleeps in: ''Sheltered Sleep'', ''Unsheltered Sleep'', ''Flattened Sleep'', and ''Atop-Belly Sleep''.

In [[Generation II]], Wartortle and its evolutionary relatives were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Skull Bash}} naturally, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Evolution===
Wartortle evolves from {{p|Squirtle}} and evolves into {{p|Blastoise}}.

* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Wartortle|35}}

==Trivia==
[[File:008Wartortle OS anime.png|thumb|150px|Wartortle's [[original series]] art]]
* Even though Wartortle's ears are depicted lighter than its face in the official Sugimori stock art and most of its game sprites, early promotional pictures portrayed its ears the same color as its face.

===Origin===
Wartortle's design appears to be a stylized {{wp|turtle}}. Its feathery tail is a reference to Japanese legends of the ''{{wp|Cultural depictions of turtles#Japan|minogame}}'' (蓑亀), a turtle which lived for 10,000 years and grew a tail made of {{wp|seaweed}}. The use of its tail to store oxygen seems to be a reference to certain turtles that breathe through their {{wp|cloaca}}, placed near the tail. The tail also resembles {{wp|wind wave}}s.

====Name origin====
Wartortle may be a combination of ''war'' or ''warrior'', ''water'', ''{{wp|tortoise}}'', and ''turtle''.

Kameil may be a combination of 亀 ''kame'' (turtle, tortoise) and ''tail''.
